A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 50

Qiu Mu-Cheng's huffy exclamation startled the birds in the trees.

And then, with her face red, she stomped angrily away in her exquisite high heels.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng was only feeling embarrassed. If Ye Fan had suggested copulation to her before today, she would definitely despise him.

Maybe she herself did not notice that her attitude toward Ye Fan was imperceptibly changing for the better.

Upon reaching home, she told her parents the good news. Both Han Li and Qiu Lei were overjoyed. Right away, they made the decision to go celebrate at a restaurant. Naturally, Qiu Mu-Cheng asked Ye Fan to come along.

"Why did you invite him?"

"He is just a freeloading piece of trash. Does he deserve to spend your money?" Han Li asked coldly.

"Mom, this time it is all thanks to Ye Fan. If it weren't for him~" Qiu Mu-Cheng continued to defend her husband, but she was rudely interrupted by Han Li.

"Him? All thanks to him? I will be thankful as long as he doesn't cause you trouble. Mu-Cheng, you have been acting weird lately. You keep defending that piece of trash. I am warning you, you have to divorce him sooner or later. You had better keep that in mind. My brother is already helping you to look for a suitable match. Someone wealthy and powerful. You go meet him in a few days."

"That's enough, mom. I am not going to the restaurant. You and dad can go by yourselves. I will stay home with Ye Fan." Finally, Qiu Mu-Cheng lost her temper with her mother and went into the bedroom by herself, ignoring Han Li completely.

Han Li also got angry and, in the end, she had no choice but to go the restaurant with just Qiu Lei.

Meanwhile, Qiu Mu-Ying was seething in rage in the comfort of her own home. The more she thought about her cousin, the angrier she got.

She had planned to make things difficult for Qiu Mu-Cheng, and embarrass the latter before ousting her from the company. But unexpectedly, Qiu Mu-Ying's plan had helped pave the road to her cousin's success.

"This Qiu Mu-Cheng. How did she get so lucky?"

"Not only did she get the loan, she also managed to get the opportunity to work with Hongqi Group."

Hongqi Group was backed by Hongqi Bank and managed solely by Xu Lei. The company had strong backings and was financially strong. And Qiu Mu-Cheng had managed to obtain an order from such a company. Wang Qiao-Yu was shocked and angry when she found out about it. Just then, she was pacing up and down in her room.

"Ying-Ying, this will not do. We have to think of something."

"That order is worth fifty million. If Qiu Mu-Cheng gets the deal, she will rise to the top of the company and your grandfather will favor her even more."

"More importantly, if she uses this opportunity to get to know Xu Lei, then her position in our family will be unshakeable. Maybe your grandfather will even hand the company over to her."

"When that time comes, we will lose our positions in the family."

Wang Qiao-Yu was full of worry, as she talked away beside her daughter.

Qiu Mu-Ying was also furious and had her own grievances to air as well. "Mom, what's the point of saying all this now? Grandfather has already made her the person-in-charge of this project and all negotiations with Hongqi Group. What else can we do?"

All along, Wang Qiao-Yu's family had considered Qiu Mu-Cheng to be a thorn in their side. In the past, whenever Wang Qiao-Yu and her family had embezzled money from the company, Qiu Mu-Cheng had always been the one to report their misdeeds to Master Qiu. As a result, the old man had reprimanded Wang Qiao-Yu and her family a number of times.

Therefore, as long as Qiu Mu-Cheng remained in the company, Wang Qiao-Yu and her family could not act as they wish. And now that Qiu Mu-Cheng's position in the company was higher than before, Wang Qiao-Yu and her family were naturally panicking more than ever.

"I have a plan.”

"Let's go, Ying-Ying. We will go see your grandfather."

"We cannot let Qiu Mu-Cheng rise above us." Wang Qiao-Yu seemed to have thought of a plan. And even though it was late at night, she pulled her daughter along to see Master Qiu.

To ensure success, Wang Qiao-Yu even brought Qiu Guang along to the meeting.

"Grandfather, when I got home earlier, I had a meeting with Uncle Guang and the others. We feel that it is not right to give Mu-Cheng the responsibilty of handling negotiations with Hongqi Group." Qiu Mu-Ying said sweetly as she gave Master Qiu a shoulder massage.

"What's wrong with that? Mu-Cheng was the one who got the contract. It is only right to let her negotiate with Hongqi Group," Master Qiu responded with a frown.

"Grandfather, think about it. All these years, Mu-Cheng has been in charge of the grassroots work and so she has only been interacting with the low-level people. She has never negotiated a contract with an elite, let alone a top-level elite like Miss Xu. This order from Hongqi Group is worth a great deal of money, and our company's survival depends on the success of this deal. Grandfather, do you really want to entrust the important task of ensuring our survival to an inexperienced person?"
