PRESIDENT QIN'S LITTLE WIFE IS THE STRONGEST - Chapter 147

147 Who Sent Them Then?

Knowing she was going to come after her, Rong Yue didn’t even bother to use the elevator and instead entered the next meeting room first. It was only after she heard several steps move away that she stepped out and used the elevator to go back to the top floor.

Qin Yichen wasn’t home when she got back and she pulled out her phone as she removed her jacket to see if he had left her any message.

Seeing that there was no message, she sent him a message instead and then went into her room to work on her exercises.

Just recently, she had picked a set of martial arts techniques that she was planning to use to train her body.

As the system had access to several books and even lost knowledge, Rong Yue had a huge advantage over others. However, she barely used it as she wasn’t the type to depend on external factors.

After sitting in a position to meditate and find her acupoint, she called her mom and placed the call on hands-free.

“Yue’er, how are you?” Rong Xia’s soft and gentle voice rang out from the other end of the call.

“I’m fine, I called since it seems like mother isn’t missing me with all the work you have to do now,” Rong Yue teased, her face curving into a bright smile that could stun an entire city.

Without her knowing, her entire demeanor while talking to her mother was different as she listened to all the work going on with the factory and flagship stores.

…..

“With Yichen’s help, we would be able to launch by next month,”

“Qin Yichen’s help?” Rong Yue asked as she sat up, wondering what it was that he did.

“Hmmm, he sent some group of young men to guard the whole place, also, some of them have been working with us and the other staff to get things ready very fast,” Rong Xia explained innocently.

Upon hearing her words, however, Rong Yue’s brows furrowed as she struggled to understand what was going on.

Why did he send such manpower to her?

“Also, as we have more than enough hands now, Lu San has moved over the ones here to help with some other thing that he said you are handling,”

“Ehn ehn…”

She had known that Lu San must have moved them to the jewelry factory that she was trying to build. The only thing that made her a little confused was how no one had thought to inform her about anything all this while.

It was almost like the reigns had been passed over to someone else entirely.

“Yue’er, is something the matter? You aren’t talking,” her mother’s worrying voice rang out, breaking her chain of thoughts.

“No mom, I was only wondering why I’m only hearing of this just now, also, while it hasn’t been up to two weeks since I was away, there seems to have been a lot of changes,” she replied and then rubbed her temples.

“Yichen told me not to disturb you about anything since you were preparing for the exam. And since I felt so too, I didn’t mention,”

“How is it over there? Have you finished studying what’s important?” Rong Xia asked, skillfully diverting the topic as she could already sense that the matter of Qin Yichen’s involvement was affecting Rong Yue.

“Hmm, I’m done studying, just to go tomorrow. Also, the competition would be broadcasted all over the world, you can watch me tomorrow,” Rong Yue said the last part excitedly as she felt like knowing that her mother would be watching was also going to make her put in some extra effort.

“It would be broadcasted for the whole world?” Rong Xia asked, sounding worried instead of excited.

Rong Yue paused, as she tried to process her mother’s words now. Somehow, she felt like she had sensed a trace of panic from her mother’s tone just now.

“Yes, there would be a live broadcast, is anything the matter?”

Her mother sighed on the other end of the call, and Rong Yue’s brows furrowed a little more from it.

“Mother is a little worried as with your appearance, it’s easy to attract evil intentions. Moreover, this is something that would be shown to the whole world, you won’t even be able to tell what kind of evil eye is watching you,”

Hearing her mother’s worries, Rong Yue felt like there was some sense in it, and even though she felt like she was missing something, she overlooked it.

“I’ll change my appearance a little then, that way, mother isn’t too worried to watch me happily,”

The both of them talked for a while more on some other unimportant matters until Rong Xia had to attend to something else.

After that, Rong Yue also focused on her martial arts manual, reading and trying to focus on all the parts that had been pointed out in the manual.

She studied for close to two hours and it was only when she felt that she had reached her maximum that she closed the virtual screen in front of her displaying the manual.

A little hungry, Rong Yue stepped out of her room, preparing to go out for a little stroll, that way, she could get something to eat and also shop for some small makeup and things to help her alter her appearance slightly.

However, she was startled to see Qin Yichen was already back and also resting on the sofa.

All of the things her mother said came to her mind and she stormed to where he was.

“Qin Yichen! When exactly were you planning for me to know that you sent so much manpower to my mom??” She asked a little angry at his interference.

Qin Yichen sat up, his eyes fixed on her face which was now formed into an adorable scowl.

“Manpower? Weren’t you the ones that sent them there?” He asked, his genuine expression and confusion sending Rong Yue off guard. n0𝐯𝚎𝐋𝑈𝓢𝑩.𝕔0𝔪

Her?

“What do you mean by I sent them there myself?” Rong Yue asked as her voice increased by an octave.

“Lu San informed me that you got a new group of men to assist with the work and that the ones you previously hired weren’t doing much there, so I told him to move those ones to the jewelry factory you are working on,”

Qin Yichen paused, his eyes searching her face while his mind was churning.

“Since you clearly didn’t send them there, then who did?”
