Chapter 578 Min Hang Suddenly Asks for Help
Ye Mu'en couldn't be bothered with a drunkard. At this moment, the hangover tea was delivered.
"Drink it quickly and get lost. You're making a scene here in the middle of the night."
"I'm not making a scene, I just came here without realizing it after running out."
Tang Zhao picked up the bowl, blew on it, and looked at the rippling water, his eyes feeling sore. How long had it been since someone brewed him a bowl of tea?
"They won't let me off easily. Tomorrow, I want to apply to have Liu Shu transferred."
"You can. Her position can be filled by someone else at any time anyway."
"I want to ask how Madam plans to deal with Liu Qingming? This person isn't someone who readily accepts his fate. He's very patient and can endure a lot. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed in one position for over ten years."
"Isn't it because his abilities are inadequate that he's stuck in one place?"
Tang Zhao chuckled. His brother-in-law was hard to judge.
"Shenger is only asking Asen to return the gifts brought by Liu Shu publicly tomorrow, and perhaps give a few warnings at most."
"Heh, with this, he won't have any chance of promotion. Then his focus will shift even more towards you and me."
Ye Mu'en put down the document in her hand, took out a box of cigarettes from under the coffee table, took one out, and threw it to Tang Zhao.
"Deputy Tang, if you can't even handle this small matter, I'll truly have to question your abilities. Being constantly tied down by so-called family ties will bring you to a standstill, or perhaps even to lose everything."
The cigarette between Tang Zhao's fingers trembled. He had come today to find the final push for his wavering heart. When it came to his close relatives, he truly couldn't be sure if he could be utterly ruthless.
"Yes, I will handle it."
After Tang Zhao left, Ye Mu'en shook her head helplessly. Her deputy was good at everything except for his sentimentality. He had been held back for over a decade for the sake of the affection that should exist between family members. It was truly remarkable.
Gu Miao had been waiting in the main courtyard early. Asen had some errands to run this morning, so Gu Miao was on duty.
Asen, carrying the gifts, drove to a certain department. He presented his credentials for inspection outside the gate. The guard, upon seeing the ID, immediately saluted.
"Which office is Liu Qingming in?"
"I'll take you."
Walking through the building with a bag that was clearly a gift during working hours would attract a lot of attention. Some even wanted to see who was foolish enough to be delivering gifts.
"This is Director Liu's office."
"Thank you."
Asen knocked on the door. Liu Qingming had a sleepless night because of the phone call last night. He was very impatient when someone came looking for him so early.
"Come in."
Asen pushed the door open but didn't enter. Instead, he placed the gift just inside the doorway.
Upon seeing this, Liu Qingming leaped up in anger.
"Who are you? No matter what you want, I won't agree. Take your things and leave quickly."
"Liu Qingming, Liu Shu's father. This is the gift your daughter brought to my Madam's house on Saturday. Because we have strict questioning procedures for uninvited guests, it might have offended your daughter. Therefore, she became enraged and left the gift behind. Today, I am returning the gift on behalf of my Madam."
Liu Qingming's legs went weak. Seeing the heads peeking from beside the door and the onlookers' curious glances, he knew he was utterly finished.
"Furthermore, the leader's wife has strict upbringing and will never accept gifts from anyone. Even if you have any intentions, this path is not feasible. Director Liu, it's best to put away your petty thoughts and focus on your work."
Asen turned and left, leaving behind a man who had lost his spirit and a crowd of onlookers.
Liu Qingming looked at the pile of gifts on the floor. He had personally accompanied his daughter to buy them, but now they had become the deadliest poison to his career.
Liu Shu went to work listlessly. She already knew that her uncle had hurt her mother's feelings, so she decided to ignore him for a while, determined to let him know that their whole family was very angry, extremely angry.
However, when the department director placed a transfer order on her desk, she finally understood that her uncle's words were indeed true. He really wasn't going to look after them anymore.
She grabbed the transfer order and rushed upstairs, but seeing the locked office, she ran to Director Ye's office, which was also locked. At that moment, she felt hopeless. If she was assigned to a remote and impoverished area, what good future could she have?
Actually, Tang Zhao wasn't intentionally avoiding Liu Shu. He had received a last-minute assignment and had gone out with Director Ye. However, he didn't know that Liu Shu wasn't the only one looking for him that day. His own sister and brother-in-law were also looking for him, and the unit's gatekeepers and phones were in chaos because of him.
Ye Shenger was sketching jewelry designs in the study when she suddenly heard that Min Hang, who hadn't visited in a long time, had arrived. She was quite surprised.
"Let him in."
"Get me a glass of ice water."
Min Hang, exhausted, collapsed onto the small soft couch in the study, rubbing his temples, looking very pained.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Shenger watched him display multiple psychological roles here.
After drinking a glass of ice water, he placed the cup heavily on the coffee table.
"Shenger, you must step in for this matter."
"What? Is there something Young Master Min can't handle?"
"Sigh... don't even mention it. I don't know where this wild kid came from, but he's been bothering Tiantian recently."
Ye Shenger frowned. Tiantian was still a year away from adulthood, and her mental capacity was not that of a normal person. Even if she were an adult, she wouldn't understand what love was.
"You're just going to watch him pester her?"
"I don't know how many times I've warned that kid, but the problem is, Tiantian also has feelings for him."
"How is that possible? Tiantian can only distinguish between familial and friendly affection. She's completely clueless about romantic love."
Min Hang, annoyed, picked up his cup and gulped it down, only to find it empty. He was so angry he almost threw the cup. Ye Shenger walked over and poured him another, feeling that Min Hang must have misunderstood something.
"Where is Tiantian right now?"
"She's out boating in the park with that kid. I want to take her back, and she's mad at me."
Ye Shenger checked the time and, seeing that it was still early, went back to her room to change. She really wanted to see the situation for herself. After all, she was Tiantian's true guardian.
Gu Miao was a little tense on his first outing as a bodyguard. He took the gun Asen handed him and strapped it to his calf.
"Don't be too nervous. Young Master Min and his men are following, so there shouldn't be any major problems. You just need to stay close to Madam."
"Yes, I'll adapt quickly."
In fact, Gu Miao had been on many missions. It was just that it had been a long time, and because the person he was protecting was very special, he was nervous.
Min Hang didn't get into his own car. He got into Ye Shenger's car instead. Since he had called her out, he was responsible for her safety.
Ye Shenger hadn't seen the outside scenery in a while. She felt relaxed just looking at the pedestrians on the street.
"Don't scold her first when you see Tiantian later."
Ye Shenger smiled. This guy was definitely the most doting father, even to the point of spoiling his child. It was only because Tiantian's mind was like a child's that she hadn't been spoiled. Anyone else would have been more excessive than her little Honey.
"You've got no ambition, have you?"
