This Witch Transmigrated into the Romantic Novel's Supporting Role

Chapter 214

A few days later, while Chu Yang was working in her office, someone came to find her. "Chu Yang, the Chairman wants you to go up to the top floor."

Although Chu Yang was somewhat puzzled about why Chi Yan's grandfather wanted to see her, she nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go right away."

Jin Yang, who was nearby, didn't know that Chi Yan's grandfather had already met her. He thought that her relationship with Chi Yan had been exposed, so Chi Yan's grandfather wanted to see her. As Chu Yang was leaving, Jin Yang gave her a thumbs-up gesture and said, "Yang-yang, don't worry, you're the best."

Chu Yang: ?

She quickly reached the top floor, where Lu Shu, the assistant, was waiting for her outside the elevator. "Miss Chu Yang, this way please."

Chu Yang followed him and asked, "Does the Chairman have something to discuss with me?"

Lu Shu replied, "Chairman Qian is also here."

Chu Yang suddenly understood that it wasn't Chi Yan's grandfather who wanted to see her.

As she walked into the office, Chu Yang saw that Chi Yan was also there. When he saw her, he immediately beckoned her to come and sit down. Chi Yan's grandfather also said, "Ah, Little Chu is here. Please, have a seat."

Chu Yang greeted the two elderly men, "Grandfather, Chairman Qian."

Chairman Qian smiled and said, "From now on, Little Chu can just call me Grandpa Qian, like Chi Yan does."

Chu Yang sat down next to Chi Yan, her eyes questioning him about what was going on.

Chi Yan gently stroked her palm, and then Chairman Qian took out a card, saying, "Little Chu, this is Grandpa Qian's way of thanking you."

Chu Yang immediately tried to refuse, "No, no need, Chairman Qia— I mean, since I'm calling you Grandpa Qian now, I certainly can't accept gifts from you."

Chairman Qian smiled and pushed the card towards her again, "Since you're calling me Grandpa Qian, this is my welcome gift for you as a younger family member. Please take it."

Chu Yang looked at Chi Yan: Aren't you going to say something?

Chi Bai, who was sitting nearby, directly took the bank card and put it in Chu Yang's hand, "Take it. Your Grandpa Qian has more money than he knows what to do with. Help him spend some of it. Otherwise, he'll feel uncomfortable."

Chairman Qian burst into laughter, "Look who's talking. Don't you have a welcome gift for your future granddaughter-in-law?"

Chi Bai proudly snorted, "My welcome gift needs to be given formally, and this isn't the right occasion. We'll wait until Chi Yan officially brings her home. But I should give her some pocket money." He then took out another card and handed it to Chu Yang, "Child, take this. It's for your personal expenses. If it's not enough, just let Grandpa know."

Chu Yang felt the cards burning in her hand, but she couldn't refuse the elders' gifts. Since things had come to this, she could only accept them.

"Thank you, Grandfather and Grandpa Qian."

"Good girl."

"Alright, I still have some matters to discuss with your Grandpa Qian. Chi Yan, why don't you take Little Chu out for some fun? There's no need to work today, just take her out and enjoy yourselves."

"Understood, Grandfather."

After leaving the office with Chi Yan, Chu Yang looked at the cards in her hand, then at Chi Yan, and said, "Although... I still feel like I should go back to work."

Chi Yan put his arm around her, "Do you have any urgent work?"

Chu Yang: "Uh... I need to make a spreadsheet." In fact, it would only take about fifteen minutes and wasn't urgent.

Chi Yan: "Is it very urgent?"

Chu Yang shook her head, "No, it's not."

Chi Yan took her hand and walked into the elevator, pressing the button for the basement floor. "Since there's nothing urgent, let's go out and have some fun. We haven't had a proper outing in days. I'll let your manager know, don't worry."

Chu Yang: She just felt a bit guilty... Is this what it feels like to use connections?

Perhaps sensing Chu Yang's thoughts, Chi Yan said, "It's alright, no one will say anything. They'll just envy you."

"Okay."

The couple openly played hooky, first going to a nearby high-end restaurant for lunch, and then Chi Yan took her on a shopping spree.

After they left, in the office, Chairman Qian's smile faded. "I never imagined my sons would be so ambitious." So ambitious that they came up with such an idea, nearly sending him to heaven! He sighed, then looked at Chi Bai, "You say none of your sons thought about inheriting your business, yet they're all so filial. You must have taught them well in that aspect."

Chi Bai: "It wasn't my teaching, it was my Shu Yue who taught them." Shu Yue, Chi Bai's wife and Chi Yan's grandmother, had passed away before Chi Yan was born.

Chairman Qian suddenly remembered that bright woman, "At least you have a good grandson to inherit your business. Unlike me, I have no one to succeed me!"

Chi Bai and Chairman Qian had known each other since they were young. Chairman Qian had two wives, both from arranged marriages. He had many children, all taught to prioritize profit and compete fiercely for the company's interests.

"Don't you have a bunch of young grandsons? Can't you choose one to groom?"

Chairman Qian shook his head, "It's too late. I have a favor to ask of you this time."

Chi Bai looked at Chairman Qian and suddenly felt a sense of melancholy, "Go ahead."

Chairman Qian: "If I'm gone and the Qian Group is ruined by those unfilial children, I hope that in the end, the Chi Corporation will take over. At least in your hands, the Qian Group that I built from scratch can survive."

"What are you saying? The Qian Group won't fall, don't worry. I think your sons are quite capable."

Chairman Qian sighed. They were capable, indeed, but that was precisely why he feared that once they started fighting among themselves, things would spiral out of control. He knew this all too well.

Seeing him like this, Chi Bai naturally agreed, "Don't worry. If the Qian Group ever faces difficulties in the future, the Chi Corporation will definitely help if we can. We won't let the Qian Group disappear."

"Thank you, old friend."

...

"Chu Yang, the young boss is looking for you," Chu Yang's supervisor came over to tell her, winking at her.

The others all looked over with gossipy expressions.

Chu Yang stood up, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Taking the elevator to the 29th floor, she knew where Chi Yan's office was and went straight there, knocking and entering. When she went in, Chi Yan and Qi Jie were discussing something, but when they saw her, Chi Yan asked Qi Jie to leave first.

After Qi Jie left, Chu Yang walked over, "Manager Liang said you were looking for me?"

Chi Yan stood up and walked to her side, taking her hand, "Yes, I'd like you to accompany me to a cocktail party after work. Go get ready first, I'll have someone accompany you."

"Alright."

Chi Yan led her out of the office, then turned to a female colleague at one of the workstations and said, "Lin Ye, have you made the appointment I asked for?"

"Yes, it's been arranged, Mr. Chi."

"Good. Now, please accompany Chu Yang there."

"Certainly."

Afterwards, Chu Yang followed Lin Ye to a store, where she began getting her hair done, applying makeup, and changing clothes...

When Chi Yan arrived, Chu Yang was in the process of choosing shoes. A row of high heels was laid out in front of her. Seeing Chi Yan approach, Chu Yang, overwhelmed by choice, waved him over. "Come and see which pair I should wear?"

Chi Yan walked over, picked up a pair of black ankle-strap heels, then knelt down to help her put them on. "These complement your dress."

After putting on the shoes, Chi Yan reached into his pocket and took out an anklet, fastening it around her ankle.

Chu Yang looked at her ankle. "When did you buy this?"

"Just now." He had just passed by a jewelry store, went in for a quick look, thought this suited her perfectly, and bought it on the spot.
