Qin Rong cried so hard that it broke Qin's Mom's heart. She shot a glare towards the door.
At that moment, Qin's Father, who had heard the commotion, was about to step in.
Seeing his little darling crying, his hands immediately began to tremble. "What's going on? Your second brother definitely wouldn't insult anyone. Is there some misunderstanding?"
Qin Rong sobbed, hiccuping as she spoke, "Second brother asked Cheng Yue to be the company's driver."
Qin's Father didn't react immediately, "So what?"
Qin's Mom caught on quicker, "Is it that Cheng Yue looks down on this job?"
Qin Rong choked out, "Dad, you said to let him go to the company. Cheng Yue prepared so seriously, but when he got there, they just asked him to be a driver. You don't know how disappointed and angry Cheng Yue was. He questioned whether I looked down on him, if I was trying to play him, using this method to insult him. He said my goal was to break up with him, and that I had succeeded. He told me not to look for him anymore, and then... then he blocked all my contact information."
"I tried to contact Miao Miao, but even she's angry with me now. She said her brother has never been this angry before, that we're too good for him, and to act like we never dated." Qin Rong cried, "Why? Why did you lie to me? I thought you really wanted to get to know him. Were you deliberately trying to ruin my relationship? Is what Cheng Yue said true? You just don't trust me and want to control my life?"
Perhaps because it was her first breakup, she was so upset that her words became incoherent, only wanting to vent her emotions.
Qin's Father and Qin's Mom were stunned. Qin Rong had always been an obedient and sensible child who never gave them trouble. This was the first time they had seen her explode like this, leaving the old father and mother at a loss, only able to try and comfort her.
They swore to heaven that they didn't have such intentions, nor did her other brothers and sisters. It must be a misunderstanding.
Seeing Qin Rong cry to the point of nearly passing out, Ji Fei felt quite awkward. After all, this girl had thanked her just this morning, sweetly sharing desserts with her, full of hope for the future. How had she suddenly been dumped?
This breakup was like a sudden storm, coming completely unexpectedly.
If Ji Fei hadn't seen the breakup through the Gossip System, she would have thought she was dreaming.
Cheng Yue was indeed very angry, almost cursing at Qin Rong, as if he had truly been humiliated.
Ji Fei carefully examined the situation from Qin Xian's perspective, and the more she looked, the more speechless she became.
【To be honest, I overlooked it too. I almost got led astray by Cheng Yue's anger. Is this guy joking?】
These words nearly made the crying Qin Rong jump up. Being dumped was already painful enough, and now someone was badmouthing Cheng Yue right in front of her. Even a docile rabbit would bite back in this situation.
Fortunately, Qin's Father and Qin's Mom were experienced and quickly held Qin Rong back. They knew Ji Fei must have discovered something. Perhaps they wouldn't need to wait for Qin Xian's explanation to know the truth.
【Cheng Yue did go to the interview excitedly, and Qin Xian had indeed instructed the HR department. But the HR department never imagined that the person the CEO recommended was someone without any qualifications.】
【Lack of education is one thing, but he's been in society for many years and doesn't even have one decent work experience? Does this mean he's been wasting his time all these years?】
Qin's Father and Qin's Mom were stunned, looking at Qin Rong in disbelief.
No wonder Qin's Father felt something was off at first. He had initially made a subconscious judgment about Cheng Yue's potential, so when he heard about the driver position, he didn't find it inappropriate at first.
"Rong Rong, be honest with Dad, does he really have no work experience? Otherwise, the HR department wouldn't have only offered him a driver position."
Qin's Mom's head was also buzzing, "Is that true, Rong Rong?"
They had initially thought he was just temporarily unemployed because he was preparing to start a business, but they never imagined he hadn't had a proper job since graduating from school.
If this wasn't being a slacker, what was?
【It seems the parents have also noticed something's not right. I don't need to remind them!】
Qin Rong was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly explained, "That's because his talent hasn't been recognized. Cheng Yue is actually very capable, but he couldn't find a good job because of his education. He was discriminated against, couldn't meet the right opportunity, and had bad luck, so..."
Facing her parents' increasingly skeptical gazes, Qin Rong found herself losing confidence as she spoke.
【Unrecognized talent? That's laughable. Does he even have any talent? He doesn't have a single skill. If it weren't for his driver's license, even if the HR department racked their brains and relaxed all requirements, they could only have arranged a cleaning job for him. He doesn't even have the physique required for a security guard position.】
Hearing her beloved being so harshly criticized, Qin Rong suddenly felt both angry and sad. She looked at Ji Fei, "Second sister-in-law..."
Ji Fei thought Qin Rong was calling her for help.
【You want me to speak up for him? I really can't do that in good conscience, sister. The driver position was only offered because of the CEO's instructions and special accommodation. That's Qin Corporation we're talking about. A driver there earns tens of thousands a month with top-notch benefits. People are fighting to get in, and he has the audacity to feel insulted?】
【What's even more ridiculous is that he pulled rank with Qin Xian's name in the HR department, questioning if they knew who he was. Laughable! Who does he think he is? The Emperor's son-in-law?】
【He even had the gall to say that Qin Xian had promised him a manager position. Good heavens, is he daydreaming? What makes him think he deserves that? His thick skin? His shamelessness? Even if he were the Emperor's son-in-law, he'd have to step aside if he had no ability. If Qin Corporation practiced nepotism and let anyone with connections run wild, it would have gone bankrupt long ago. How could it have developed to its current state?】
【Suddenly, I feel so sorry for Qin Xian. In order to help his sister evaluate her boyfriend, this incident will probably damage Qin Xian's reputation in Qin Corporation. This attempt at pulling strings... tsk tsk tsk, what a shame.】
Ji Fei delivered this passionate output while maintaining a neutral expression. She was about to give a diplomatic response to this newly love-struck girl when Qin Rong suddenly burst into tears even more violently.
"He... he just wanted to prove himself to you all, to show that he's worthy of me. Please don't think of him like that. He's not... he's not like that... wuwuwuwu"
This time, neither Qin's Father nor Qin's Mom comforted her. Instead, they stood to the side with grim expressions.
"Rong Rong, this man is no good," Qin's Father said directly. "He's arrogant but incompetent, full of himself, unable to recognize his own limitations. His character is severely lacking."
Qin's Mom couldn't help but add, "Our family had good intentions, but it was misinterpreted like this. Your second brother is right, their values are different. They're not compatible."
Hearing her parents speak this way, Qin Rong became even more anxious. She cried so hard that she had difficulty breathing, her face turning red from the effort.
"Nobody understands the real Cheng Yue. He's actually a very good person. If you really got to know him, you'd definitely appreciate him. Mom, Dad, Second sister-in-law, can you please help ask second brother to give Cheng Yue a different job? Give him a chance to prove himself."
