"What's wrong, Mengxue?" asked Qiao Xiaoyu, her best friend, who was sitting next to Qin Mengxue and was in the same major. "You look at it yourself." Qin Mengxue showed the video to Qiao Xiaoyu. "Ah, no way? Isn't that Qin Dingyuan from your family?" Qiao Xiaoyu said, shocked. "Mm." "Why is Zhou Hong at the company, hitting him in front of so many people?" "How should I know." "This violent man, he's too terrifying. Last night he beat up someone driving a Bentley on the street, and today he beat up an uncle from your family." Qiao Xiaoyu looked at Qin Mengxue with sympathy. Having such a violent live-in husband, how would she live her life in the future? "Wuwuwu, why is my life so bitter." Qin Mengxue quietly wiped away a tear, looking pitiable. "Mengxue, don't do anything rash," Qiao Xiaoyu quickly comforted her, patting Qin Mengxue's shoulder, seemingly afraid that Qin Mengxue might do something desperate. At this moment, not only Qin Mengxue but the entire Qin family was in an uproar. The family chat group, usually quiet, was now buzzing nonstop. Fortunately, Qin Mengxue had muted the sound in time, or it would have disturbed the teacher. "Dear passengers, we sincerely apologize, but due to an anomaly in the aircraft engine's cooling system, we will be returning to Jinzhou Airport. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause." At this moment, on a plane that had just departed from Jinzhou, the flight attendant's voice suddenly sounded. "Haha, that's great!" Qin Changhui, who was sitting on the plane, was overjoyed. He had wanted to get off the plane because of the Zhou Hong incident, but it was too late. He never expected that shortly after takeoff, they would announce a return. Soon, Qin Changhui disembarked and hurriedly turned on his phone. After turning it on, he immediately saw many missed calls and numerous messages on WeChat. When he saw the video on WeChat, Qin Changhui was stunned. And the countless missed calls from the family elder and others made his scalp tingle. Half an hour later. Zhou Hong was sitting in the security room, with his legs crossed. The company had returned to quiet, and Qin Dingyuan was no longer at the company entrance. "Zhou Hong." At this moment, Qin Changhui's voice came from the doorway of the security room. "Huh? Dad, weren't you already in the sky? Why are you back?" Zhou Hong saw Qin Changhui and quickly walked out of the security room. "You... alas!" Qin Changhui sighed heavily. Fortunately, the plane had suddenly returned, otherwise, he didn't know how many things would have happened by the time he returned from abroad. "Dad, what are you sighing about? By the way, I have good news for you. I've dealt with Qin Dingyuan, who dared to have ideas about you. I guarantee he won't dare to try and take your chairman position again. See here, this is his letter of guarantee." Zhou Hong said, smiling and taking out a letter of guarantee, which was signed and stamped. "Zhou Hong, oh Zhou Hong, what are you doing?" Qin Changhui said speechlessly. "Dad, aren't you happy? Didn't you say many people in the family don't obey you, especially Qin Dingyuan? I thought, while you let me be acting chairman, I could help you clear out these opposition factions. Otherwise, why would I go through all this trouble?" Zhou Hong said busily. "When did I ever let you be acting chairman?" Qin Changhui asked, bewildered. "You said you were going on a trip, and I asked if I could act as chairman for a few days. You said, 'Okay,' with a long drawl." Qin Changhui immediately understood and said speechlessly, "That was the airplane engine 'roaring,' not me saying 'okay.'" "Really?" Zhou Hong touched his head awkwardly. "By the way, when you were on the phone, you said you were the second-in-command of the company. What did you mean?" Qin Changhui asked again. "Isn't my position as security captain the second-in-command of the company? It's like in a sect, you are the sect leader, and I, the security captain, am the enforcer elder. Isn't the enforcer elder the second-in-command of the sect? So, as a security captain, I am the second-in-command of the company, which makes perfect sense!" Zhou Hong looked confused. Did he get it wrong? Is the company not similar to the sects of the Zi Xiao Continent? "What kind of nonsense is this? Forget it, forget it. Come back to the office with me. I need to talk to you," Qin Changhui said helplessly. The immediate priority was to solve the problem, not to criticize. However, he had already figured out how to solve it on his way back: he would fire Zhou Hong, otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to the family. Of course, he wouldn't give up on Zhou Hong, his live-in son-in-law. After firing him, he would find a way to send him to university to learn some knowledge. After all, he was still young and didn't need to rush into work. It would be good for him to pursue further studies at university and then cultivate him properly after graduation. "Okay, Dad." Zhou Hong immediately followed Qin Changhui into the company building. "Good morning, Chairman." "Good morning, Chairman." As they entered the office building, some employees they encountered quickly greeted Qin Changhui. "Ahem." Zhou Hong saw that those employees hadn't greeted him and couldn't help but cough. Those employees seemed to understand and quickly greeted Zhou Hong, "Good morning, Captain." "Good morning, Captain." Zhou Hong smiled with satisfaction. Although Qin Changhui had just said that the security captain wasn't the second-in-command, even if he wasn't, his status was surely higher than these employees wearing glasses, leather shoes, and ties. "Zhou Hong, what are you doing?" Qin Changhui looked at Zhou Hong speechlessly. However, he was puzzled about how Zhou Hong had changed so much, even dealing with Qin Dingyuan and making him sign a guarantee, and now the company's executives were greeting him in fear. Soon, they arrived at Qin Changhui's office, and Qin Changhui closed the office door. "Zhou Hong, please sit anywhere." "Thanks, Dad. Between us father-in-law and son-in-law, let's not be so formal. If there's any work you need done, just say the word, and I guarantee I'll complete it beautifully." Zhou Hong chuckled. "Zhou Hong, I called you up here because I have something important to tell you." "Hehe, I can see that." Zhou Hong smiled proudly. After all, he was the son-in-law. If not him, who else would the important matters be entrusted to? "Well, starting tomorrow, you'll be leaving the company." Qin Changhui said. "Ah?" Zhou Hong wondered if he had heard correctly. "From now on, the position of security captain will be temporarily held by someone else." "Dad, are you firing me?" Zhou Hong asked, looking confused. "It's not firing, but a different arrangement. I plan to find a way to send you to university. What do you think?" "Dad, are you kidding me? With my level, what else do I need to learn? Even if I went to study, there would be no room for advancement," Zhou Hong said narcissistically.
