I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 246: The gap between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law

In the evening, Green Bamboo Japanese Restaurant.

Zhuang Qing and Wang Suru sat in the box where she and Wei Lin first met.

"Xiao Qing, you are so beautiful. No wonder Wei Lin kept mentioning you when he was in Yazhou."

Teacher Wang expressed satisfaction at first sight.

Zhuang Qing, dressed in simple and elegant clothes, behaved dignified and generous, with the demeanor of a lady from a noble family, which conquered her at once.

She asked about Zhuang Qing's academic qualifications and learned that Zhuang Qing graduated from a prestigious foreign university and currently works in a newspaper group.

She couldn't help but nodded secretly, and then she asked about Zhuang Qing's family situation.

"Your family also makes hats? Qi Feng? Zhuang Dasheng is your father?"

Teacher Wang frowned quietly.

"Yes, Zhuang Dasheng is my father."

Zhuang Qing said with a smile.

Wang Suru didn't say anything, just lowered her head and picked up some food.

Before Zhuang Qing frankly explained the situation at home, she had a very good impression of Zhuang Qing, and the more she looked at her, the more satisfied she felt.

There is nothing wrong with Zhuang Qing's appearance, figure, education, and workplace.

She secretly compared Zhuang Qing and Xiang Wen, and felt that Zhuang Qing was superior to Xiang Wen in all aspects, and had psychologically accepted Zhuang Qing.

But Zhuang Qing suddenly said that her family was actually Qifeng Hat Industry, and Zhuang Dasheng was actually her father.

Wang Suru's heart suddenly twisted.

Wei Zhenbang worked at Qifeng before he founded Xinlin. Even An Yuntian came from Qifeng. She was not familiar with other companies, but she was very familiar with Qifeng.

Before Wei Zhenbang and An Yuntian left, they chatted a lot about Qi Feng, mostly saying that the boss Zhuang Dasheng was a good-for-nothing and was very picky and harsh with his employees.

Zhuang Dasheng's character in business is indeed notoriously bad, and he has done a lot of shameless things.

When Wei Zhenbang and An Yuntian resigned, they had a disagreement with Qi Feng and almost went to court.

After the two founded Xinlin, they were targeted by Qi Feng many times. Even Wei Zhenbang's car accident was caused by Tang Qiang's mischief in the business.

If you were to ask which company Teacher Wang hates the most, it would naturally be Qifeng Hat Industry.

But Zhuang Qing didn't know all this. When Wei Lin was dating her, he never said that he and Qi Feng had any unresolved grudges.

Zhuang Qing was puzzled when she saw that Wang Suru's enthusiastic attitude suddenly turned cold and distant as soon as she learned that her family was Qifeng Hat Industry and Zhuang Dasheng was her father.

The atmosphere became a little strange afterwards. Wang Suru didn't ask any more questions and left in a hurry after the meal.

……

"Why have you never told me that Zhuang Qing is the daughter of Zhuang Dasheng?"

Before she even got home and had just gotten into a taxi, Wang Suru called Wei Lin and said in a cold tone, "Zhuang Qing can't do it!"

Wei Lin, who was at home studying the Kunpeng game, was stunned for a moment before saying, "Mom, why is she not okay?"

"I don't like Zhuang Dasheng!"

"Even before your father left Qi Feng, things weren't going well with him. After she and Lao An founded Xinlin, they were constantly suppressed and ostracized by Qi Feng. Don't you know this?"

"Tang Qiang played a big role in your father's car accident!"

"Tang Qiang is Qi Feng's man. He's just a dog raised by Zhuang Dasheng! Without Zhuang Dasheng's approval, how dare Tang Qiang risk his life to deal with us Xinlin?"

"Why did you choose Zhuang Qing when you could find someone else?"

"I'm going to say this today. I can't accept Zhuang Qing. You have to find me a new girlfriend!"

Wang Suru's attitude was very firm.

Wei Lin hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll just change it."

He didn't expect Wang Suru to react so strongly. She had always regarded Qifeng Hat Industry as an enemy and therefore completely rejected Zhuang Qing.

He knew that this was his mother's personality. Once she made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. He must not disobey her during this period, lest she become depressed.

In business, Zhuang Dasheng’s character is indeed not good, and his methods cannot be called fair, but Wei Lin thinks that Tang Qiang is the main reason.

For example, the hat industry tycoons on Zhuang Dasheng's side did not take small companies like Xinlin, Zhijie and Birch seriously, and left all the matters to Tang Qiang under them.

Competing for orders and playing tricks behind the scenes are things that every colleague does secretly.

Wei Lin has long been accustomed to this.

Now that he had forced Tang Qiang to leave Qi Feng, he no longer had any grudges in his heart.

But men are men, and women are women after all, and it is obvious that I haven’t gotten over it yet.

He wouldn't really break up with Zhuang Qing just because of what my mother said, but he also didn't want to make my mother uncomfortable, so he adopted a delaying tactic and said, "I'll get another one for you to see after a while."

Wang Suru: "You still have more?!"

"There's one we haven't dated yet. Once we do, I'll show it to you." Wei Lin said with a smile.

Wang Suru was silent for a moment, then said, "Actually, Xiang Wen is a very good kid. After you have made things clear with Zhuang Qing, you can try dating Xiang Wen."

Wei Lin said, "Let's talk about it later."

……

County and Mansion.

Zhuang Qing was also depressed after she came back. She couldn't understand why Wang Suru's attitude suddenly changed after she told her about her family background.

She communicated with Wei Lin, but Wei Lin was vague and only said that his father had some unpleasantness with Qi Feng at the beginning.

"How did the affairs of the older generation get dragged into our lives?" Zhuang Qing pondered for a long time. Unable to resist, she knocked on Zhuang Dasheng's study door and said, "I met with Wei Lin's mother tonight."

Zhuang Dasheng was thinking about letting Qi Feng develop a brand, and he already had some ideas in mind.

Upon hearing that she had met Wei Lin's mother, Zhuang Dasheng's face darkened and he asked, "Was it Wei Lin's request?"

"No, it was Wei Lin's mother who asked for it."

Zhuang Qing wanted to find out the details of the situation, so she made herself a cup of tea and sat down in front of Zhuang Dasheng. She asked, "Dad, do we have any conflicts with Wei Lin's father?"

"Celebrating the holidays?" Zhuang Dasheng sneered and said bluntly, "His father was a long-time employee of our Qifeng company. He later founded Xinlin Hat Industry. When he and An Yuntian resigned, the finance department seemed to have slightly delayed their salaries, but they were eventually paid out in full."

"Before last year, Xinlin's output value was nothing! I never even looked at Xinlin. What could they have against us?"

There was no falsehood in what Zhuang Dasheng said.

The competitors he was looking at were all outside Linjiang City. They were large companies of the same scale as Qifeng and they didn't care about small companies like Xinlin at all.

He didn't care what Tang Qiang did because that was not his focus. He didn't even know about Wei Zhenbang's car accident.

"After his mother learned about my family's situation, her attitude suddenly changed." Zhuang Qing said softly.

"What's your attitude?" Zhuang Dasheng was furious and said coldly, "How is our Zhuang family unworthy of her Wei family?"

"I admit that Wei Lin did a good job with Xinlin last year and he does have some abilities. But our Qifeng is still the leader in Linjiang City's hat industry. For now, no company can threaten our Qifeng's position in Linjiang City!"

"He still hates coming to our house?"

Zhuang Dasheng also opposed his daughter and Wei Lin's relationship, but because he knew Zhuang Qing's stubborn temper, he had no way to persuade her, so he made a bet with Wei Lin to deal with it.

But when he heard Wang Suru's side, he became even more furious because of some grudges she had about her daughter's family background.

The father and daughter chatted for most of the day. Zhuang Qing could tell from her father's words that he had never taken Xinlin seriously before and had never deliberately targeted Xinlin.

The competition with Xinlin Hat Industry was also being done by Tang Qiang, who had resigned, and her father was not aware of the specific details.

"Is it because of that Tang Qiang?"

Although she didn't find the answer from Zhuang Dasheng, she still wanted to resolve Wang Suru's knot in her heart and decided to deal with it properly after finding out the truth.

……

The next day.

YUHAN TOYS & GIFTS LIMITED.

Tang Qiang sat at his desk, playing with a pen, his expression somewhat gloomy.

After leaving Qi Feng, he had no better choice, so he joined a plush toy factory that was related to the hat industry and became the largest company in Linjiang City.

When he was in Qifeng, he offended almost all of his colleagues, so it was naturally impossible for him to go to companies like Xinlin and Huafeng.

He is old now, and it is indeed not realistic for him to leave Linjiang with his family and develop in other places.

After much deliberation, he joined Yuhang Toys and Gifts Co., Ltd. and worked in the familiar business department.

However, he lost his position as business manager at Qifeng.

He doesn't have his own independent office now and is still familiarizing himself with the plush toy business. Looking at the group of young people around him, Tang Qiang sighed in his heart.

The manager of the business department is much younger than him, and he is also the oldest person in the business department.

"Mr. Huang!"

When Huang Xingzhi came over, a group of young people from the business department greeted him with smiles. Tang Qiang was no exception. He also stood up and called out "Mr. Huang".

Huang Xingzhi nodded, walked across the public office area and entered the office of the business department manager.

"How is Tang Qiang doing?"

Arriving at Liu Meng's office, Huang Xingzhi frowned slightly and said, "He seemed to be doing quite well at Qifeng. He still has some connections and good relationships with many brands. Has he secured any big deals since coming to us?"

Liu Meng was thirty-five years old, in the prime of his life. He disliked Tang Qiang as soon as he came in.

Seeing the young boss caring so much about Tang Qiang, Liu Meng sneered and said with disdain, "Those brands he has are all hat manufacturers, not plush toys. His connections are useless."

Liu Meng squeezed Tang Qiang because Tang Qiang had proven his ability in Qi Feng, and he was afraid that Tang Qiang would replace him and become the general manager of the business department.

"Let's wait and see. If Tang Qiang can't prove his ability in half a year, then find an excuse to let him go." Huang Xingzhi said calmly, "He's too old. There's no point in keeping him around if he can't make any deals.

The workplace is so cruel.

After leaving Qi Feng and joining the new company, Tang Qiang must achieve results as soon as possible, otherwise his age will become a disadvantage.

"I really don't understand why we hired him in." Liu Meng expressed his confusion.

"Anyway, the current salary is low, let's wait and see." Huang Xingzhi didn't care. He chatted with him for a few more words and then left Liu Meng's office.

When returning to the public office area, Huang Xingzhi was suddenly stunned and looked at the people around Tang Qiang in surprise.

In order to find out the situation, Zhuang Qing took a day off today and came to Aerospace Toys and Gifts Co., Ltd. to find Tang Qiang. She couldn't wait for Tang Qiang to get off work.

"Ms. Zhuang, Xinlin and we were competitors at the time, so I naturally wouldn't be soft-hearted."

"Your father doesn't know a lot of things, but I did suppress Xinlin in business. Why are you asking this?"

Tang Qiang was confused.

He didn't know why Zhuang Qing came to visit him suddenly, and he felt that if he talked about Qi Feng with Zhuang Qing at Aerospace Toys and Gifts Co., Ltd., his colleagues would gossip about him, so he wanted to get rid of Zhuang Qing as soon as possible.

"Zhuang Qing!"

Huang Xingzhi walked over with a smile and stood in front of Tang Qiang and Zhuang Qing. "What's the matter? Are you, Qi Feng, planning to invite Tang Qiang back?"
