Chapter 38: Ye Qingcheng's Marriage Arrangement
The women looked at the printed documents and finally understood what kind of person Xiao Tianyu was. To call him extraordinary was an understatement; he was a genius among geniuses.
They had only read about such things in novels, never expecting to meet someone so exceptional in real life—a person who seemed to cheat his way through every challenge.
At this moment, a question arose in the minds of all the women: if you're so incredible, why are you wasting your youth at Qingcheng International?
They wanted to ask, isn't this place too small for someone like you?
Actually, Xiao Tianyu came to Qingcheng International simply because he had nothing better to do and wanted to experience life. After all, reaching the peak often leads to loneliness.
A song describes it well: invincibility is so very lonely...
This song fits Xiao Tianyu perfectly.
Ultimately, the women concluded that this man was very mysterious, so mysterious that he seemed like a god, yet such a being was doing the most menial job at Qingcheng International, even interning for three months.
Two hours later, the women looked at the neatly stacked documents in front of Xiao Tianyu, utterly speechless. What took them half a month of work, he finished in two hours. Could they not be at a loss for words?
"Why do I feel that this workload is too easy for him? How about we dump all our work on him? Then we can take it easy!"
"Wen Xin, I like what I'm hearing. Why don't you go..."
"Not a chance!"
Xiao Tianyu rolled his eyes at the women, crossed his legs, and started playing games in earnest, showing the women that he had no idea how to value beauty—clearly, a clueless guy.
Yet, how could someone like that be so perfect-looking? It's such a waste of a face.
Could it be that we're not dressed sexy enough?
...
Qingcheng International, CEO's office.
At this moment, Ye Qingcheng was revising documents when her phone rang. She picked up the phone from the desk and pressed the answer button.
"Hello!"
"Sweetheart, your phone is really hard to reach!" came a warm voice of a middle-aged man from the phone. Ye Qingcheng spoke coldly, "It's lost!"
"Lost?" The voice on the other end sounded puzzled, "What's lost?"
"The phone is lost!" Ye Qingcheng replied unpleasantly, indicating that the relationship between father and daughter was not harmonious.
However, Ye Qingcheng wasn't exactly lying; that night at Royal One, her phone did get broken, and she didn't want to think about that night, so she simply said the phone was lost.
The phone she had now was one she had just bought.
"Oh!"
"Is there anything else?" Ye Qingcheng asked coldly, "If not, I'll hang up!"
"Sweetheart, don't be hasty. I really have something to discuss with you. Do you have time to meet?"
"The company is very busy!"
"Then I'll come to the company!"
"Can't you say it over the phone?" Ye Qingcheng asked testily.
"Alright then." The voice on the other end sighed and continued, "It's like this, your dad has found you a handpicked, outstanding fiancé who will be back in the country soon. You'll have to pick him up at the airport then. Remember, his name is Guan Zhongyuan!"
"Why isn't he called Guan Universe?"
"Daughter, you really know how to joke!"
"I never joke!" Ye Qingcheng snorted coldly, "Fiancé? What fiancé? I've never met this fiancé, and he has nothing to do with me. Don't mention this again in the future!"
With that, she directly hung up the phone, a coldness spreading from her body. Born into a prominent family, couldn't she have control over her marriage? If that's the case, she'd rather have been born into an ordinary family.
Thinking about this, Ye Qingcheng's eyes welled up with tears.
Usually, she was the top executive at Qingcheng International, a strong woman.
But who could see the bitterness behind the strong woman?
Ring ring ring~
At this moment, the phone rang again. Ye Qingcheng, in desperation, pressed the answer button: "Dad, what else do you want?"
"Daughter, I know you're very resistant to this marriage, but your dad is also helpless!"
"I know!" Ye Qingcheng replied, "Wasn't it because someone died saving you when you were in trouble? That's an old favor of your generation; why do I have to repay it? Why must I marry his son?"
"What handpicked choice? What outstanding talent? Those are just words to please me!" Ye Qingcheng's voice grew colder, "Let me make it clear to you now, I won't marry unless I'm dead!"
"Qingcheng, how can you say such things? Guan Zhongyuan is a good kid with great ambitions for his age. Besides, he won't mistreat you. Be good, daughter!"
With that, the voice on the other end continued, "It's been three years. Have you not forgotten him? If he cared about you, he would have come back to find you a long time ago!"
"Anyway, I won't marry. If you want to match, you do it, but it has nothing to do with me. Don't expect me to fulfill the engagement!" Ye Qingcheng yelled defiantly, "Don't bring him up. Even without him, I wouldn't accept this marriage!"
Ye Qingcheng was truly furious. Ever since she was a child, she was obedient, always executing her father's orders without question. But this time it was different; this time it concerned her lifelong happiness. Even if Yi Tianxing didn't exist three years ago, she wouldn't marry someone she didn't know.
"You..." The voice on the other end was panting, clearly upset.
He stated, "This isn't up to you. You must fulfill this engagement. In one month's time, Zhongyuan will return to the country. If you don't agree, then you're not my daughter, Ye Tianhao!"
"Don't use our father-daughter relationship to threaten me!" Ye Qingcheng replied coldly, "I've always obeyed you all my life, but this time, definitely not!"
"Then I'll take Qingcheng International away from you!"
"Come to Qingcheng International tomorrow for the handover; I don't care!"
"..." Ye Tianhao on the other end was livid, but being well aware of Ye Qingcheng's stubbornness, shifted his tone: "Qingcheng, I know it's a bit unfair to you, but your dad values promises. Moreover, Zhongyuan's father sacrificed for me during an incident, so the Guan family has a debt of gratitude to our Ye family!"
"Furthermore, your mother also agreed to this marriage in the beginning. You wouldn't want her to be unable to rest in peace, would you?"
"Don't bring up my mother. If it weren't for you offending some force, would my mother have died?"
When Ye Qingcheng's mother passed away, Ye Qingcheng was only three years old. It was due to an accident abroad. Ye Tianhao took the three-year-old Ye Qingcheng to escape the Qiu Family, and twenty years ago they moved the entire family back to Celestial Capital, where Ye Tianhao worked hard to establish Qingcheng International.
