Thud—

Qi Lei did not slam the door, but Qi Qiming felt a huge impact inside him as his body froze involuntarily. He always knew that Qi Lei behaved similarly to his mother.

Wang Qin had always been like that. She would go over without any intention of having a peaceful discussion.

If it were in the past, Qi Qiming would have been enraged, but he experienced an odd feeling inside him when he watched Qi Lei leave his office on a sour note. It was not as if he did not care about his son; he was just not sure how he should face him.

Qi Qiming felt deeply indebted to Wang Qin.

Just like Qi Lei said, he had been giving Wang Qin nothing but trouble…

He had forced her and plotted against her.

However, Wang Qin was dead, so he held the final say in Qi Kai, but why did he feel like it was meaningless now?

Qi Qiming was dazed.

He came back to his senses after a long time. Then, he looked at the document Qi Lei brought over and quietly flipped through it. Then, he took a deep breath.

He suddenly tore the document into pieces before he opened his drawer to take out a lighter and burn it.

The blue flames engulfed the paper scraps very quickly.

Rat-a-tat!

There was a knock on the door when Qi Qiming was deep in his thoughts. The door was already open when he came back to his senses.

Morrison pushed Qi Feng inside the room.

“CEO Qi!”

Morrison wheeled Qi Feng right in front of Qi Qiming’s table. Then, he bowed to Qi Qiming and left some documents on his table before leaving.

“What’s wrong, Father? Are you feeling unwell?” Qi Feng was extremely observant, so he instantly noticed the uneasiness on Qi Qiming’s face.

Qi Qiming grabbed the documents Morrison left and said, “I’m fine. Are you done with the tasks I gave you?”

“Almost. Things are getting on track and I don’t really face many difficulties. You can hand me the information on South River Project No. 1 so that I can learn more about it before visiting.” Qi Feng’s quiet voice was a stark contrast to Qi Lei’s rash words. Qi Qiming felt he would be more at peace if Qi Lei could act this way…

“Put that on hold for now. We’ll find another suitable candidate to handle the market development in City B. Let Qi Lei stay here and continue monitoring the project he’s working on for now,” Qi Qiming carefully put forth his words.

Qi Feng paused as a cold light flashed in his eyes. He did not ask anything and just nodded. “Noted. I’ll get them to find another suitable candidate soon.”

With a dip of his head, Qi Qiming took a glance at Qi Feng. “Xiao Lei is just like your mother. You have to take care of him as his big brother. He’s been working alongside your mother ever since he returned from abroad, and there was some conflict between us, but I don’t want to see our family breaking apart.”

“Don’t worry, Father. I know what to do. He’s my only brother after all. I won’t hurt him.” Qi Feng sounded gentle and humble. “He’s always been like this, so I’ve gotten used to it already. It’s not the first day that he has a bias against me. Things would have escalated a long time ago if I were to mind him, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

Qi Qiming calmed down after listening to those words. “You’ve been calling Wang Qin your mother for the past 20 years. Although she doesn’t like you, she has never tried to hurt you. I have to admit that I favor you more among my two sons. Your biological mother passed away too early, and I was worried that Wang Qin might mistreat you, hence I put a lot of focus on you. I feel sorry for your mother too, so…

“Xiao Lei is a good kid. He has a bias against you because I’ve owed him too many things. He has the love of his mother. I…Ah Feng, I don’t care how you want to deal with Mu Yuchen, but after I pass Qi Kai over to you, you have to take care of Qi Lei. Can you do that?” Qi Qiming threw Qi Feng a sharp glance.

Qi Feng lowered his eyes to hide the faint light in them as he nodded. “If you’re worried, I won’t complain if you give Qi Kai to him. It rightfully belongs to him anyway. I’d appreciate it if there’s a place for me to stay.” His voice was calm and he did not display any emotions externally.

“Don’t say that. I feel much more at ease handing Qi Kai over to you. While Qi Lei is performing well lately, he lacks experience. Initially, I agreed with Lingsha’s suggestion to transfer him externally for some training, but after giving it some thought, things might not work out well for him. Having him nearby could be easier to keep an eye on him.”

Qi Qiming grabbed a pen and signed his name on the documents. “Alright, you can head back now if there’s nothing else. I’ll leave the South River Project in your hands.”

Qi Feng nodded and slowly moved his wheelchair towards the door.

Qi Qiming knew there was some conflict between Qi Feng and Qi Lei, but he had not thought much about it before. Now, he just hoped that they could accept each other peacefully…
