The Beloved and Pampered Girl

Chapter 1443: Chapter 1443 A Far Cry from the Past

"But Uncle, you say we leave for three months without a single phone call back home; won’t they be mad at us?" Jian Dan asked Chu Liyuan seriously, looking at him.

"Mad? Who does Jian Jian mean by ’they’?" Chu Liyuan relaxed his arms that held Jian Dan but still didn’t let go.

"Of course, I’m talking about our friends."

"Then Jian Jian can rest assured, they wouldn’t dare be mad!" Chu Liyuan said with a very relaxed tone.

"They wouldn’t dare be mad, but what about the kids and Granny and Grandpa? Won’t they be mad?"

"Granny and Grandpa will understand, so they won’t be mad, as for the four little ones...they don’t have much time to be mad!"

"What do you mean?"

"Because I arranged a lot of work for them before we left, so they probably don’t have the time to be mad."

(Uncle Chu, aren’t you underestimating your children a little? Not only did they complete the tasks you assigned them with flying colors, but they also had time to miss their mom and even time to be mad at you.)

"Uncle, they are still so young, how could you bear it?"

"I’m training them, to help them become successful at an early age!"

After they become successful, he could retire in peace and enjoy the company of just the two of them, him and Jian Jian.

Of course, those words were something Chu Liyuan would never say out loud; they were merely satisfying thoughts to entertain in his mind.

What Chu Liyuan didn’t know was that because he truly became a hands-off manager for three months and asked no questions about the business, he really had no idea what was going on in the company.

"This Chu Liyuan is really out of line. He left and really didn’t manage anything, making this old man suffer here," Chu Zhiyuan sat in front of Chu Liyuan’s desk looking through the documents. Just as he was about to finish reviewing the current pile, Li Jing brought in another hefty stack, making Chu Zhiyuan slump in his chair in silent despair, the image of dejection.

"Are you alright?" Granny came up beside Chu Zhiyuan, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"How can I be alright? I feel like if that stinky kid doesn’t come back soon, this old skeleton of mine will collapse right here."

"Oh Chairman, what are you talking about? Back in the day when you were in charge, you handled things decisively and briskly," Li Jing said flatteringly.

"Ah, give it a rest! Can you even compare then and now?

Firstly, how old was I back then and how old am I now?

Secondly, even though Qin Corporation was also big at that time, compared to now, it was merely a drop in the ocean.

Do I need to continue?"

"Oh Chairman, I still have work to do, so I’m going to leave now!" Li Jing smiled and quickly escaped from the office.

"Just hold on a bit longer! Aren’t I here with you every day?" Granny comforted.

"If it weren’t for you being here with me, I would have quit a long time ago."

"I also wonder how Jian Jian is doing now, seeing that it’s almost been three months," Mo Qingqin said with a trace of worry in her eyes.

"Don’t worry, Qingqin, Little Jian will definitely be fine," Chu Zhiyuan got up and put his arm around Mo Qingqin’s shoulders.

"Yes! Dan Dan will definitely be fine!"

Mo Qingqin nodded firmly and then rested her head on Chu Zhiyuan’s shoulder.

Just after leaving the office, Li Jing’s phone rang, "What’s up, honey?"

"Husband, will you go shopping with me tonight, please?"

"Honey, I don’t know if I have to work overtime tonight," Li Jing said in a low voice.

"You’ve been working overtime for so long, almost every day since Chu Li and Jian left."

"I can’t help it, can I? Mr. Chu isn’t here, and the old Chairman is getting on in years, so I..."

"I don’t care, I want you to go shopping with me tonight. I’ve almost died of boredom without Jian around!"

With that, Xia Mengjiao hung up the phone.

Helpless, Li Jing could only knock on the office door again.
