Chapter 903 I don’t want her to get hurt
Zhang Yan seemed to be prepared. He sat up straight, met Tang Qiang's gaze, and said sincerely, "Brother Qiang, I am sincere to Qianqian. I know that I am younger than her, and many people may not be optimistic about us, but I will prove with my actions that I can take good care of her."
"Action?" Tang Qiang snorted coldly, "Do you know how old she is? How old are you? You may not understand what she's been through. Can you give her the stability she wants now? I'm telling you, Zhang Yan," Tang Qiang leaned forward slightly, his tone warning, "My sister is kind and simple. Once she sets her mind on someone, she will open her heart to them. I don't want her to be hurt in any way, especially by emotional deception."
His voice was low, but every word was weighty: "I don't care what you're after from her, or if it's just a whim. If you just want to have fun, give up on it now and stay away from her! Don't wait until she's gotten too deep in it before you pull away. If you do, I won't let you go!"
Zhang Yan's face turned pale, but his eyes remained firm. "Brother Qiang, I understand your concerns. If it were me, I would also be worried if my sister found a boyfriend so much younger than her. But trust me, dear, I'm not acting on impulse, and I would never deceive Qianqian's feelings. I like her maturity and gentleness. Being with her makes me feel at ease and I've learned a lot."
Tang Qiang looked at him and was silent for a few seconds, as if judging the truth of his words.
After a long moment, he slowly spoke, his tone softening slightly, but still retaining an undeniable firmness: "I don't care how nicely you say it. I'm putting this out there today. My sister is in your hands. If you dare treat her badly, let her suffer injustice, or deceive her feelings, no matter where you are or who you are, I, Tang Qiang, will be the first to disapprove!"
His eyes were filled with protectiveness, the purest form of protection a brother could offer his sister. "I don't want her to go through the same hardships she's endured. Since you chose her, you must be responsible for her to the end. From now on, treat her well. Do you understand?" The last few words were almost commanding.
Zhang Yan nodded heavily, his eyes showing no sign of retreat. "Brother Qiang, don't worry, I will! I will treat Qianqian well for the rest of my life!"
Tang Qiang looked at him deeply, as if trying to find a hint of hesitation or falsehood in his eyes, but all he saw was determination and sincerity. He slowly leaned back in his chair, and his tense body relaxed a little.
"That's all I have to say." Tang Qiang stood up. "It's up to you what to do. I hope you remember what I said today and the purpose of my coming here today. Don't let me down, and don't let Qianqian down."
After saying that, he stopped looking at Zhang Yan, turned around and strode out of the coffee shop, leaving Lin Hao sitting there alone, his palms slightly sweating, but his eyes more determined.
Tang Qiang got back into the car but didn't start it immediately. He looked towards the office building, feeling a mixture of emotions.
Of course he wanted his sister to be happy, but this happiness, burdened by the age gap, was destined to be bumpy. As a brother, all he could do was to keep a close eye on her, clear away any potential obstacles, and then silently bless her.
He sighed and started the car. Anyway, give the young man a chance, and give my sister a chance too.
But he also secretly made up his mind that he would keep watching and would not show mercy if this boy dared to treat Qianqian badly.
He was going directly to Qingcheng for an interview. So Tang Qiang drove directly to Qingcheng.
……
at the same time.
Yan family villa.
The sunlight shines through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows and onto the simple yet stylish wooden coffee table in Shen Qing's living room.
The air was filled with the faint aroma of tea. Shen Qing had just finished a multinational video conference and was holding a celadon teacup, ready to enjoy a moment of peace. As the chairman of Yamei Company, such leisure time was as precious as a luxury to her.
She was wearing a well-tailored off-white home dress, her long hair tied loosely behind her head, which made her look less aggressive and more gentle than she usually is in the office. However, this tranquility was soon broken by a rapid ringing of her cell phone.
Shen Qing glanced at the caller ID. It was her assistant, Xiao Zhang. She frowned slightly. At this hour, Xiao Zhang wouldn't disturb her personal time unless it was an emergency.
"Hello, Xiao Zhang." Her voice was calm, with a hint of professional composure.
"Director Shen, I'm sorry to disturb you," Xiao Zhang said hurriedly. "We just had a very special interviewee apply for the position of Director of our Technology R&D Department. He's... a returned overseas PhD with an extremely impressive resume, and he specifically requested an interview with you personally. After our initial discussion, we both agreed that he's highly compatible with our company's strategic development direction and has enormous potential, so..."
Shen Qing paused, holding her teacup. An in-person interview? This wasn't common at Yamei, unless it involved core executives or exceptional talent. She pondered for a moment, a few possible candidates flashing through her mind, but nothing clicked.
"What's his name? What field is he in?" Shen Qing asked, her tone already carrying a bit of the sharpness of a decision maker.
"His name is Tang Qiang. He specializes in the application of the combination of artificial intelligence and new materials. He has led many groundbreaking projects in top laboratories in Silicon Valley..." Xiao Zhang briefly introduced the core highlights.
After listening to this, Shen Qing's eyes flickered with subtle interest. She seemed to have heard the name Jiang Zhe somewhere before, or perhaps a similar research direction was exactly what Yamei was focusing on next. Talent was hard to come by, especially in the current fierce market competition.
"Got it." Shen Qing put down her teacup and stood up. "I'll be at the company in forty minutes. Ask him to wait in Conference Room 1 and prepare his detailed information."
"Okay, Mr. Shen! I'll arrange it right away!" Xiao Zhang felt relieved.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Qing quickly walked into the cloakroom. Her previous leisurely and gentle demeanor was instantly replaced by efficiency.
She chose a dark grey suit with smooth lines, which highlighted her tall figure and powerful aura.
With a little makeup on and her hair combed neatly, the woman in the mirror once again turned into the decisive and ruthless leader of Yamei in the business world.
Grabbing her car keys and handbag, Shen Qing hurried out of the house. She started her car, a low-key, luxurious black sedan, and smoothly drove out of the villa area and merged into the afternoon traffic.
Forty minutes later, the black car stopped steadily at the entrance of Yamei's headquarters building. The assistant who had been waiting there respectfully opened the door for her.
