Chapter 107
“Rong Yue,” Song Jian greeted warmly as he looked at Qin Yichen with a guarded expression. One glance at him and it was easy to tell that this was a man with a lot of power, there was also a slight whiff of danger that came from Qin Yichen that made him worried.
“Song Jian, Yan’er,” Rong Yue greeted warmly as she hugged Song Yan. Even if there was nothing official between her and Qin Yichen yet, she didn’t dare to hug him and just gave him a warm smile to allow him know that she was fine.
“Manager Fang, Lu San has told me how hard you have been working,” she said politely even though she hadn’t heard nothing, after all, it would help the man feel his efforts were being recognized.
The production factory was at a discreet area that didn’t have many houses, considering that they were going to be working with plant based materials, they were going to have very few waste products. With all these alone, Rong Yue was certain that they would have it easy getting the factory approved.
However, the most important thing was making sure that their production processes was kept in a safe manner.
As soon as she entered inside the factory, Rong Yue nodded in approval, this was exactly what she had imagined.
“Is this enough to keep them from meeting each other?” Qin Yichen asked as she looked at the separate rooms for different processes.
“The rooms would be sound proofed so that no one other than the people in that section knows what is being done. Also, the pass for each staff can only work for that room and for one day entry, currently, the only challenge we can have is if the person that checks them in is compromised and allows the wrong fingerprint match to get a pass,” Lu San explained hurriedly and to Qin Yichen.
.....
Qin Yichen nodded but it was clear from his expression that he still had his reservations about the matter. After all, the early stages would be relatively safe. But as soon as people saw that the company actually had results, their main focus would be on the recipes.
“Other than me, no one can bring together the bits and pieces to make the complete formula, everyone is only doing their mechanical bits, so even if they leak it, the chances that it would be beneficial to the person is very little,” Rong Yue added in and this time, Qin Yichen was more convinced and said nothing more.
After making sure that everything she wanted was the way it was, Rong Yue was glad and happily explained everything to Qin Yichen. It was almost like this was a trip prepared for the sole both them, after all, only Rong Yue was able to communicate with Qin Yichen as she introduced each room while the other three just tagged along.
“Master, your flight is in two hours,” Lu San reminded as soon as they finished the tour. Previously, he had thought that Rong Yue didn’t like to talk, who would have imagined that she would spend an hour just giving Qin Yichen a tour.
“I already changed it, it’s in four hours,” while no one was looking, he had already sent a message to have someone handle the matter, after all, it was rare that Rong Yue wanted to tell him so much, he didn’t want such a moment to come to an end.
Rong Yue on the other hand was about to take him to the laboratory but Lu San’s words made her realize that she was taking up so much time with something that wasn’t that important!
So she changed her mind immediately, “there’s nothing to see about the laboratory yet, although the equipments have arrived, I still haven’t modified it,”
Qin Yichen could guess that Lu San’s words had made her change her mind but he only nodded in agreement. For someone that ruled an empire as huge as he did, he was always quick to understand people and so he knew that even if he made Rong Yue show him the laboratory, she would only be doing out of obligation and would rush through matters.
Moreover, he was planning to come before she launched, so it was not a bad idea to check it at that time.
“Your phone has been ringing all day, do you want to pick it?” Qin Yichen said as he passed the military phone that she had used to talk to Xu Che to her.
Rong Yue understood that the man was getting desperate and walked some distance away to talk to him.
As soon as Rong Yue turned and left, the Song siblings also made up a feeble excuse and rushed into the laboratory.
Manager Fang Mo was also not comfortable around Qin Yichen and wanted to rush into the warehouse but Qin Yichen was faster than him.
“Manager Fang, I’ll like to have a word with you,” he said politely, but the commanding power in his tone and stance was hard to ignore. Fang Mo stopped immediately and turned back to stand in front of Qin Yichen obediently.
“Although your skills are not the best out there for her, as long as you are faithful, I know that you will grow with her. However, if you for one minute of your life betray her, even without using the Qin Corporation, I’ll make sure that you and your daughter’s life become miserable.” Qin Yichen said calmly, yet, the lethality of his words and tone had Fang Mo shaking in his pants.
He had wondered why he felt the man was familiar, but since the media appearance of the Qin family was very little, it was not hard to understand why anyone would not recognize him at first glance.
Moreover, who would have imagined that the king of the capital would suddenly decide to come to city A!
“I...I..” Fang Mo tried to talk as he nodded his head continuously, yet, no words were formed in his mouth and he ended up bowing his head to show his sincerity.
“I don’t need your promise, this is nothing but a warning,” Qin Yichen said and then walked away to meet Rong Yue that was already approaching.
“Why was he calling?” He asked as he pulled her into his embrace in one clean move.
“He’s worried that the other side would catch up to him, but that’s only a cover, people like those ones would seek to save themselves in a situation like this, clearly, he’s the one that’s scared that he would be caught,” Rong Yue explained with a low throaty chuckle.
She had no intention of letting Xu Che grow, after all, she knew exactly what he would grow to become. As the money increased, he eventually handed over the head position at Hong Foundation in the past life and joined the research team. Although she barely met him, the system had all of the information regarding everything he had done.
To let a monster like that go was just a bad mistake.
“Leave him to shake some more, I’ll make them to add more pressure as soon as I get back,” Qin Yichen promised,
“It’s impossible that his board of directors don’t know what he has been up to, I’m looking for the best way to have all of them taken in, it’s better to bring the foundation down completely,”
Qin Yichen nodded and then used his hand to shield Rong Yue’s head as she entered the car. Clearly, he had every intention to support anything she wanted to do.
“Let’s go to the airport, I know that you would still have a slot for your original flight, it’s better to go ahead and rest,” Rong Yue said as Lu San started the car.
“Are you worried about me?” Qin Yichen asked playfully, as he leaned in until his face was only some inches away from hers.
“W..who’s worried about you! I just want you to go back quick enough before you stay here and annoy me any further,” Rong Yue lied as she felt her heart racing terribly.
“You’ve always been a bad liar,” Qin Yichen teased further as he pinched her nose a little. Seeing her red and flushed face, he suddenly felt like he wanted to tease her even more and so without any warning, he leaned in and kissed her lips before pulling back almost immediately.
“...Y..You!” Rong Yue was flustered and struggled to make a proper defense, yet, nothing was coming to her mind as all that flooded her mind was his scent and how his lips had felt against hers.
“I’m your man now, that’s something that every couple does,” Qin Yichen said shamelessly and then before she could say anything more, he pulled her to his laps and buried his head in the gap between her neck and her shoulder blade.
Rong Yhe wanted to push him away at first, but then she remembered how he had fallen asleep in a similar position some while ago and stayed still.
However, the man in her embrace this time wasn’t sleeping. Qin Yichen just wanted to bury himself in her unique and clean fragrance before they had to separate.
Sometimes, it was funny how life worked, after all, several women had tried to latch on to him so desperately, yet, his soul felt bound to just this one person.
They soon arrived at the airport regardless of how slow Lu San drove, to avoid any nosy reporter that knew him by coincidence, Qin Yichen had Lu San park close to the VIP entrance.
He gave her a quick kiss on the forehead and then got down from the car.
Rong Yue watched his broad and departing back until she couldn’t see him anymore.
“Let’s go back,” she told him as she rubbed her neck that was slightly sore from staying still. However, she didn’t mind, after all, that man had done more than enough for her also....
