Chapter 42: Who is the Strongest Woman

  Others rushed forward to pull Lin Aier away, while Liu Lianhua remained calm and collected, casting a disdainful glance at the furious Lin Aier. "If I really targeted you, Lin Aier, I wouldn't let you stay in the company."

  "This arrangement for you is also made based on your potential, if you don't understand, go find An Zong to discuss, An Zong will give you a satisfactory answer"

  "Hmph, I'll definitely go find that despicable An person. This matter isn't over yet." Lin Aier forcefully shook off the hands of those trying to persuade and pull her back, and loudly shouted at the crowd: "All of you, get out of my way!" She then rushed straight up to An Qier's office on the upper floor.

  Lin Aier burst in without knocking, interrupting An Qier and Wu Keqiang's conversation. She strode forward, hand raised to slap An Qier, but was caught by An Qier's counter-grab. Her arm and body were then slammed aside by An Qier, sending her high-heeled shoe flying as she fell to the ground.

  Lin Aier saw Wu Keqiang and cried, trying to get his sympathy. However, Wu Keqiang didn't even look at her and asked An Qixi with a worried face, "An, shall I call security to throw her out now?"

  An Qi'er smiled and waved her hand, "No need, you also saw my skills, dealing with her is more than enough. Besides, I have something to talk to her about. Ke Qiang, think carefully about what I said earlier and give me an answer as soon as possible."

  "Is it really okay?" Wu Keqiang was still a bit worried that An Qi'er would get taken advantage of.

  "It's alright, don't worry" An Qi'er gave Wu Keqiang a reassuring smile.

  "You're all not good people" Lin Aier was left out in the cold, feeling isolated and helpless for the first time.

  An Qi'er stepped forward to help Lin Ai'er after Wu Keqiang left. Lin Ai'er saw this and tightly grabbed her hand, trying to pull her down to the ground. However, she was still pinned to the ground by An Qi'er, unable to get up due to the pain all over her body. An Qi'er also angrily warned: "I'm warning you, I haven't used my full strength yet. If you want to taste the ferocity of my Thai boxing, then I'll accompany you to the end."

  "Waaa... I admit defeat, isn't that enough? Let me go quickly, waaa... Lin Aier couldn't bear this humiliation and cried out in real pain"

  An Qi'er couldn't help but laugh and pointed at Lin Ai'er, saying: "You know what? You and Wu Zhenxing's crying faces are quite a match haha"

  Lin Aier was so ashamed that she even dared to use violence against An Qier, but was pressed down to the ground by An Qier. "If you do this again, I'll really call security to kick you out. At that time, you won't even have your last chance. Hurry up and sit properly, we're discussing things, not practicing martial arts."

  Lin Aier was really scared by An Qier, and she sat down without a fight. However, her mouth still didn't give in and shouted: "You'd better fire me now, otherwise I'll definitely expose your ugly affairs to everyone, let them see your true venomous face."

  An Qi'er had expected Lin Ai'er to be so threatening, she laughed proudly, "Good, I'd like to see if people are more interested in you using your own private photos to extort money or today's insignificant matter?"

  "Ah—" Lin Aier's face turned pale with fright, and Wu Zhenxing's teeth ached with hatred. In a sorrowful and indignant tone, she said: "Damn it, Wu Zhenxing even told you about this!" Helplessly putting down her pride, she asked in a soft and weak voice: "What do you want to do? Do you want to torture me to death?"

  An Qi'er looked at Lin Ai'er with a serious expression and said word by word: "I never thought of tormenting you, I just hope you can become a useful person."

  Lin Aier listened with a stifled breath, her eyelids drooping in disdain. "An Qi'er, we're all women who have risen to where we are today thanks to men. You just got lucky and climbed onto Duan Zong's giant tree, landing the CEO position. But I, Lin Aier, firmly believe my abilities far surpass yours. It's just that I haven't met a powerful backer like Duan Zong yet, but I'm certain I can overtake you within a few years."

  "Lin Aier, if you keep thinking like this, you will never get past me. Moreover, you can't rely on your pretty face to extract money from men for the rest of your life. Money is more enjoyable to spend when it's earned by yourself."

  Lin Aier glared at An Qier, "Don't pretend to be a pure and holy girl in front of me. You're just as cunning as I am, you just got lucky this time. I don't believe that I'll never surpass you, An Qier. Let's see who comes out on top."

  An Qi'er immediately took out a large pile of product materials for Lin Ai'er, "Go back and study the product knowledge well. If sales are done well, I guarantee you will have a big promotion."

  Lin Aier was annoyed and wanted to slam the product information into An Qier's face, but An Qier seemed to know her thoughts. Although she was smiling, her eyes revealed a ruthless determination that scared Lin Aier, who hastily put away the product information. However, she still had to say in a stubborn tone: "I will definitely outdo you and take this position."

  "Alright, I accept your challenge but for now the most important thing is to do a good job as a makeup artist, then consider other promotions." An Qi'er occasionally reminded Lin Ai'er in her words, hoping she could understand.

  "Duang gege, is there time tonight?" Leti asked with a hint of longing and fragrance in her eyes.

  Duan Ruiqi's eyes remained fixed on the screen, gazing at the complex data that seemed confusing to outsiders. She replied faintly, "I'm busy tonight, you should hurry up and get off work."

  Letti thought for a moment and asked anxiously: "Duan Gege, are you angry with me?"

  This question confused Duan Ruiqi, who looked up at her and asked, "Why are you asking this?" Then, with a playful tone as an elder brother, he said, "Did you do something bad behind my back?" Finally, he chuckled and asked.

  Letti saw Duan Ruiqi return to their usual joking state, and her heart relaxed a lot, but she still pretended to be uneasy and said: "I took the liberty of dismissing the secretary you hired, I'm sorry, it was just business as usual." She glanced at Duan Ruiqi's face with the corner of her eye.

  Duan Ruiqi didn't take this matter to heart, a secretary was just a personal servant to him, besides he often changed them anyway. But An Qier was an exception. Thinking of An Qier, Duan Ruiqi's heart was half boiling and half calm. Was this woman working overtime now?

  "Brother Duan? Brother Duan?" Lettie called out tentatively several times

  Duan Ruiqi was called back from her thoughts by Leti, but she still felt a bit dazed and quickly asked: "Is there anything else?"

  "Duan brother, we're going to Mapo's place for dinner tonight, and she even reserved a spot for us. This time, it's her cooking personally."

  Ling Tui had everything arranged in advance, and Duan Rui Qi couldn't refuse, so she just nodded lightly and said: "Alright, let's go"

  "Isn't that Qiao Jiaxi?" Duan Ruiqi noticed Qiao Jiaxi walking outside the car and thought of the delicious soup she had made for him last time, so he stopped the car in front of her to block her way.

  Qiao Jiaxi was shocked to see the sudden appearance of the car, and she was afraid to want to run back, when Duan Ruiqi got out of the car and greeted her: "Hey Qiao Jiaxi, what a coincidence, we meet again"

  "Qiao family is good, really good... Qiao Jiaxi hated herself for stuttering again. Every time she saw Duan Ruiqi, her heart would jump up and down uncontrollably, causing her mouth to stutter along with it."

  Letti's fingers were forcefully scratching at the package on her leg while sitting in the car, how did she get another love rival?

  "Have you just finished work?" Duan Ruiqi noticed Qiao Jiaxi carrying a large bag, and with a sympathetic heart, she reached out to help, "Put it in my car, don't strain your shoulders with such a heavy bag."

  Qiao Jiaxi felt delighted in her heart, but she was too embarrassed to let Duan Ruqi help, and insisted: "Thank you for your kindness, President Duan, I can do it myself."

  "You're speaking more smoothly this time" Duanyuqi said gently with a smile

  Qiao Jiaxi's face turned red and he lowered his head again, "Director Duan, I...I'll go first"

  "No, let's go eat together and I'll send you home afterwards"

  In the car, Qiao Jiaxi's fidgety and coy behavior was enough to make Leti feel annoyed. She couldn't wait to get out of the car and deliberately held onto Duan Ruiqi's hand in front of Qiao Jiaxi, saying affectionately: "Since you're Brother Duan's friend, that makes you my friend too. Why don't we eat together?"

  Qiao Jiaxi saw Le Di being very affectionate with Duan Ruiqi, and the disappointment in his eyes made Le Di feel pleased. However, Duan Ruiqi just treated Le Di like a younger sister, allowing her to hold onto his arm as he enthusiastically invited Qiao Jiaxi, "Come on, let's get in, there's plenty of food and it'll be lively."

  Qiao Jiaxi's heart was aching, watching the person she liked and her lover being affectionate with each other. She would rather die from exhaustion on the streets than witness this scene. Her expression had already turned cold and calm, "Director Duan, thank you for your kindness, but I have an appointment tonight, so I won't disturb you two." Without waiting for Du Ruiqi to speak, she turned around and left decisively.

  "How did she suddenly become so strange? Her attitude towards me is very alien" Duanyu Qi stared at Qiao Jiaxi's resolute back in confusion.

  Le Ti's face lit up with a triumphant smile, thinking to herself that this little rival was too easy to deal with. She leaned in close to Duan Rui Qi and said happily: "Maybe she's worried that her boyfriend will see that there's a handsome man sending her home, so she quickly ran away."

  Duan Ruiqi thought for a moment and also joked: "Right! How did I not think of that? Hahaha"

  Duan Ruiqi and Le Di were hugging and laughing intimately, just as An Qi'er happened to see them while driving by. She hastily wanted to take a closer look, even Wu Keqiang, who was driving next to her, noticed An Qi'er's abnormal behavior and carefully paid attention to the direction she was looking at. A sudden brake brought the car back in front of Duan Ruiqi and Le Di.

  The whole body of An Qi'er is full of injuries, and she can't help but feel a deep sense of despair wash over her.

  What made her even more resentful was Le Di. Just after getting rid of a minor rival, An Qi'er, a heavyweight, appeared in front of her again. What fire was burning in Le Di's heart tonight? Did heaven not want her to be alone with Duan Rui Qi either?
