Fei Wen stormed out of the arrival gate, but before she could walk two steps, her path was blocked by two figures.
Looking up, she saw a man and a woman.
The man asked, "Which company did you interview with just now? Did you see the boss of Chu Xin Culture?"
Fei Wen, who was already fuming and about to leave, became wary upon hearing "Chu Xin Culture" and asked, "I did interview with Chu Xin Culture, what's wrong?"
The man's eyes lit up. "We're planning to interview there too. We wanted to ask in advance, how is the company? How is the boss?"
Hearing this, Fei Wen immediately felt amused. She proceeded to badmouth the company extensively, concluding, "Absolutely don't go. Whoever goes will regret it. They're incredibly arrogant."
Quan Xiaotang, impatient with the detour, directly took out her phone, opened an image, and asked, "Is the boss her?"
Fei Wen thought to herself that these people were likely here to gather information. Regardless of any hidden secrets the woman might have, she was determined not to let her succeed. So, she confirmed, "Yes, that's her, the boss of the company. Her surname is Quan."
Quan Xiaotang and Quan Zhiwei exchanged a satisfied glance. They stopped paying attention to Fei Wen and hurried away.
Back at the hospital, Quan Xingfa was still asleep. Tong Xiuqiong was watching short videos. In the next bed, an old man was also snoring loudly.
Quan Zhiwei entered the room and shouted excitedly, "Dad, Mom, it's confirmed! It's really her."
Quan Xingfa, a light sleeper, immediately turned over upon hearing the voice. "Did you see her? Did she say anything?"
Tong Xiuqiong also put down her phone, looking at her son and daughter with anticipation.
Quan Xiaotang shook her head. "We didn't see her. The security guards stopped us. But we confirmed the photo with the interviewee. The boss of Chu Xin Culture is Quan Jiu."
Quan Xingfa clenched his fists in anger. "This little beast! She's been back for so long and hasn't even come to see us. She opened her own company and became a big boss, completely forgetting about us. What a heartless dog!"
Tong Xiuqiong thought for a moment. "Did you get her current phone number?"
Quan Xiaotang complained, "We didn't even see her, why would we get her number? We only have the HR number from their recruitment website."
"That's fine too. Give it to me. I want to call that little beast and ask her if her conscience has been eaten by dogs."
Quan Zhiwei found the number and dialed it, then handed the phone to Quan Xingfa.
Quan Xingfa, seething with anger, waited for a while until the other side finally answered. Before the person could even say "Hello," he unleashed a torrent of abuse.
"Hey, tell Quan Jiu to come to the phone. Tell her I'm her paternal uncle. If she has any conscience, she'll come. If she's ungrateful, I'll disown her as my niece and expel her from the Quan family registry."
The HR specialist was stunned for a moment. He turned away from the phone and said to the HR supervisor, He Ping, "Sister He, he says he's the boss's uncle and wants the boss to take the call. What should I do?"
He Ping was silently shocked. She walked over and took the phone. "Hello, may I ask who you are?"
"Are you deaf? Go get Quan Jiu and have her take the call. Don't think you can dismiss me by sending a couple of lackeys."
He Ping's face darkened, and she directly hung up the phone. She then told the specialist, "Block this number and report it as harassment."
The specialist nodded repeatedly and quickly blocked and reported the number.
After his call was hung up, Quan Xingfa was so angry he almost smashed his phone. But remembering it was bought with money, he forcibly redirected his anger to his hands and punched the bed frame. "How dare she hang up my call! This little beast, what kind of employees does she hire? I am her guardian. That company is mine. How dare they disrespect the boss? When I find out who it is, I'll fire her first."
As he spoke, he dialed again, but it wouldn't connect. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Quan Xingfa, refusing to believe it, tried twice more. On the third attempt, he received the mechanical female voice prompt: "The mobile phone is suspended."
He looked up and asked, "Your phone has no credit? It's suspended."
"Huh?" Quan Zhiwei was confused. "Impossible. I just topped up a hundred yesterday."
He asked Quan Xiaotang to call his phone, and it also prompted that the number was suspended.
"This is uncanny," Quan Zhiwei muttered. He tried calling another random number, but it still wouldn't go through. Annoyed, he cursed a few times and decided to call the mobile operator's customer service.
The customer service representative quickly answered.
Quan Zhiwei explained the situation with his phone and asked for the reason.
The customer service representative said, "Please wait a moment while I check." After a while, she replied, "Sir, your phone has just been reported as a harassment call. If you need to reactivate service, you will need to bring your ID to the service hall."
"Harassment complaint?" Quan Zhiwei was furious. "When did I harass anyone? You're operating this incorrectly."
"Sir, there is a recording in the system. Would you like to hear it?" The customer service representative was also displeased.
"Damn it! You wait. I'll report you first." He abruptly hung up.
The customer service representative, not to be outdone, used the recording of his abusive language to file another complaint.
Quan Zhiwei was still trying to navigate the complaint channels.
Tong Xiuqiong looked confused. "What's going on? What complaint?"
Quan Xiaotang, understanding the situation, impatiently explained, "They complained, and the service hall suspended my brother's phone. To reactivate it, he needs to go to the service hall with his ID."
"That little beast dares to complain! Does she think she can do whatever she wants?" Quan Zhiwei's voice suddenly rose, loud enough for the entire corridor to hear.
The old man next door woke up with a yawn, looking displeased. "If you keep making so much noise and disturbing people's sleep, I'll report you to the nurse's station too."
Quan Zhiwei, still annoyed, cursed "cao" and said, "I'm going to the service hall to unlock it."
Seeing this, Quan Xiaotang abandoned the idea of using her own phone to make a call.
Quan Xingfa also didn't want his phone to be suspended. He thought for a moment and said to Tong Xiuqiong, "Go use the nurse's station's landline to call."
Tong Xiuqiong looked displeased. "All you ever do is order people around." She reluctantly headed towards the nurse's station.
However, the nurse's station phone wasn't for casual use. After much pleading and persuasion, she finally got permission from the head nurse, but her call time was limited, and the head nurse sat at the front desk, watching her like a hawk.
Tong Xiuqiong made the call, and the same HR specialist answered.
"I am Quan Jiu's paternal aunt. Please have Quan Jiu take the call." Tong Xiuqiong wasn't as imperious as Quan Xingfa, mainly fearing being hung up on.
However, having learned from the previous incident, this time, the HR specialist hung up immediately after listening and then filed a complaint. It didn't cost anything, after all.
Tong Xiuqiong felt a surge of anger, almost choking to death.
"This damned woman! She thinks she's so great just because she's a boss," she grumbled, putting down the phone.
The head nurse cautiously asked, "Are you Quan Jiu's paternal aunt? Is she the Quan Jiu who's trending on Weibo today?"
Tong Xiuqiong immediately lifted her chin. "That's her." Then she angrily added, "That little slut! Now that she's rich and successful, she's completely forgotten the kindness of raising her. She was raised by me and her uncle."
The head nurse smiled outwardly but felt utter contempt inwardly. With such a character, she might be a bloodsucker. She didn't ask any further questions, finding the conversation irritating.
