As soon as the door opened, a gust of wind and rain rushed towards him. He was startled, "Ah!"
As soon as his neck tightened, a big hand gripped the front of his clothes, which made his neck hurt and it was difficult to breathe.
Looking up, he looked at the handsome face that was drenched in the rain, and stuttered in panic, "Third brother, you... what are you going to do?"
There is a bloodthirsty light in Jing Ming's eyes, his gaze is like a torch, like a knife shining in the dark night, lingering on Jing Xuan's face in the wind and rain.
Jing Xuan's hair stood on end, his voice fluttered, "Third brother, I have something to say."
Seeing his fear, Jing Ming suddenly narrowed his eyes, let go of his hand, and patted his chest lightly, "So timid?"
Seeing his face soften, Jing Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, "Third brother, why are you still so naughty? You scared me to death."
Jing Ming's eyes narrowed, and the corners of his lips curled up, "Don't you want to see me? I'll let you see my true face."
Jing Xuan patted him on the shoulder, "Come on, although you have been naughty and disobedient since you were a child, you never hurt your relatives. Tell me, third brother, come here..."
"If you want money, follow me to the castle."
"what?"
Jing Ming grabbed his arm and pushed him into the car, "Let's go."
"This... I have no preparations for this."
"I have everything there, women too."
Jing Xuan grinned happily, "Alright, then I'll go with you."
...
Haojue Bar.
The electricity has come and the business is normal.
Jing Qiu sat in the bright office, looking at the several dishes on the coffee table but didn't eat a single bite.
Murong Sheng had already left five minutes ago. A phone call came from his family saying that his son had a fever and the nanny asked to be sent to the hospital, so he had no choice but to rush back.
Before leaving, he accepted a birthday present from Jing Qiu——
A black Parker pen.
This pen was bought by Jing Qiu when he was in college, and he wanted to give it to him as a birthday present that year, but she missed the appointment, so the gift was more than 20 years late.
At this time, the phone rang a text message, and she immediately picked it up to take a look——
Sister, the little secretary has been found. I am taking her back to the castle now. She knows that you have called her. I was afraid that she would disturb you, so I didn't ask her to call back. Please rest assured.
Jing Qiu gripped the phone tightly, the expression on his face was like crying or laughing, the tears in his eyes were like broken pearls, falling drop after drop on the phone screen...
The next morning, the weather cleared up.
Gu Xinyan got up early and accompanied her mother-in-law for a jog in the yard.
She was wearing a set of white sportswear, and she looked slim and light. The sun fell on her face, and she looked very youthful and beautiful.
"Xinyan, did you sleep well last night?" Fu Shumin asked with a smile.
"Well, after the thunder and lightning stopped, I fell asleep."
"Did Ye'er call you?"
"Yes, I said that I will take an exam in the next few days, and I will come back if I pass the exam at the weekend. By the way, Mom, we are going to London this week."
"Well, Ye'er told me." Fu Shumin stopped.
Gu Xinyan also stopped, took out the silk handkerchief in her bag and handed it to her mother-in-law, "Here."
Fu Shumin took it, wiped the sweat off her face, and said softly: "I have asked the housekeeper to prepare some local specialties for you, and I will take them there."
"Mom, I don't want to bring so many things. They will come over in the second half of the year, and they can eat well then."
"That's different." Fu Shumin took her hand, looked her up and down, "If I remember correctly, your menstrual period is coming soon, right?"
Gu Xinyan blushed slightly, "Mom, it stands to reason that I should have come yesterday."
Fu Shumin's eyes lit up, "Then... is there?"
"Mom, my aunt is not very punctual now, sometimes it will be delayed for a few days, so I'm not sure."
Fu Shumin patted the back of her hand happily, "You are in good health, you should be pregnant."
Gu Xinyan smiled and nodded, "Well, I hope I can conceive within these two months."
If she can't conceive in these two months, she really has to wait until next year.
Seeing that the daughter-in-law was also impatient, Fu Shumin comforted again: "Let it be."
"it is good."
When the two returned to the house, Yu Hui just happened to go downstairs. She smiled at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, turned around and entered the restaurant.
"Your aunt has something on her mind these two days." Fu Shumin saw it.
In the past, Yu Hui would get up on time to accompany her to the yard for a walk to exercise her body, but today she not only climbed late, but also her face looked a little swollen.
"Mom, if my aunt wants to go out, you'd better let Yingying or Kexin accompany her. Now that uncle is not at home, it's normal for her to be in a bad mood." Gu Xinyan reminded.
Fu Shumin sighed softly, "She was very open-minded at first, but the rumors about your uncle taking care of a lover spread so well that I feel sad for her, Xin Yan, that secretary is really the second aunt Qingfeng who arranged to join our company of?"
"Yes, it was introduced by Aunt Qingfeng."
Fu Shumin frowned, "This woman just doesn't think the Shao family has too many things to do, so no sister-in-law would try to add trouble to her natal family."
"Mom, wait for another two days, and I'll see if things can turn around."
"Well, if you have something to do, you can do it boldly. Mom trusts you." Fu Shumin nodded to her.
Going to the company that day, Gu Xinyan met Shao Qiang at the elevator entrance.
He looked in good spirits, well dressed, with a delicate blue tie, well-polished leather shoes, neatly combed hair, and a glowing red face.
"Morning uncle." Gu Xinyan walked to him and greeted him.
Shao Qiang was startled, isn't she used to addressing positions in the company? Why don't you call yourself "President"?
"Yeah." He responded lightly, pulling off his tie uncomfortably.
The president's special elevator came down, he went in, and Gu Xinyan followed in one step.
Shao Qiang glanced at her, cleared his throat, but did not speak.
Gu Xinyan said, "Does uncle live in the hotel?"
"Room 808." He directly reported the room number indifferently.
"Hehe... Good number, then I'll treat you to dinner at the hotel tonight."
Shao Qiang was startled, and stared at her, as if he wanted to see from her eyes what "trick" was hidden in her heart.
Gu Xinyan smiled, calm and natural, "Uncle doesn't want to give me this face?"
Shao Qiang didn't turn his head, "Cough! I'm a little surprised."
"Really? That's my fault. It's the first time for a junior to invite uncle to dinner. Please forgive me."
Shao Qiang felt uncomfortable again, pulled down his tie, "..."
"Uncle agree?"
"Let's see after get off work."
...
Qiao Yilei didn't come to work again that day, and according to what Xiao Ning heard, she might have to wait until she gets her salary at the end of the month before resigning.
But no one expected that on the same day, Gu Xinyan issued a notice that the salaries of her, Qiao Yilei, and several key members of the company were suspended until the financial accounts were clarified.
Shao Qiang, who got the news, was the first to call, "Xinyan, why didn't you get my approval when you announced the financial affairs?"
Gu Xinyan smiled, "Uncle, this is a small matter within the scope of my duties, I don't think there is any need to bother you."
"Gu Xinyan, isn't your target too obvious?"
"No, I'm doing business, not people."
Shao Qiang was speechless, and hung up the phone after a few seconds of pause.
In the afternoon, the company had a meeting, which was originally hosted by the president, but the president didn't show up.
Gu Xinyan didn't panic. After sorting out the materials that the secretary hastily sent up, she got up and sat on the chairman's seat. "Today's meeting will be chaired by me."
The cadres and employees below were in an uproar.
What everyone feared was finally about to happen.
"Today I will mainly announce the rectification and personnel transfer of the company's functional departments next month. The middle-level cadres who read their names will submit their work reports to me within two days. Those who are unqualified will all abdicate and let the talents..."
Bang!
The door of the president's office was pushed open by Qingfeng. Seeing Shao Qiang leaning on the sofa smoking, she stepped over angrily and snatched the cigarette from his fingers.
"Why don't you chair today's meeting?"
Shao Qiang said weakly: "Not interested!"
"Don't you want to be the president?"
Shao Qiang smiled shyly, "Sister, do you think I still have the face to continue doing this? Today Gu Xinyan directly sent a notice to the Finance Department, not only stopping your and my salaries, but also stopping Secretary Qiao and the two deputy managers. "
Qingfeng's face turned dark immediately, "What? She stopped our wages?"
"Yes." Shao Qiang finished answering angrily, and grabbed the cigarette case again.
"This woman is so crazy, how can she do this? Isn't this a shame for us? What kind of status is she here? "
"Sister, you don't know her identity? She is the imperial envoy of the Shao family!"
...
When the off-duty bell rings, the company meeting ends.
Gu Xinyan returned to the office, picked up the phone and unplugged Shao Qiang's phone, but Shao Qiang cut off the phone after it rang twice.
Gu Xinyan smiled lightly, and turned to call her mother-in-law: "Mom, I won't come back for dinner at night, so don't wait for me."
"Xin Yan, where do you go to eat? Pay attention to nutrition."
"Mom, don't worry, I'll go to our hotel to eat."
"it is good."
Since Shao Qiang was angry with her and refused to answer the phone, Gu Xinyan decided to go directly to the hotel to wait for him, she did not believe that Shao Qiang would not come.
The car stopped in front of the five-star hotel, and she suddenly saw a familiar figure coming out of the revolving door.
She quickly got out of the car and walked towards the enchanting woman, "Qiao Yilei."
Qiao Yilei was shocked, her face paled, "Gu... Gu Tezhu."
Gu Xinyan smiled lightly, "Come here to find the president?"
Qiao Yilei shook her head hastily, "No, no! I'm here to find a friend, Assistant Gu, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first."
"Wait!" Gu Xinyan grabbed her wrist with a serious expression, "Why don't you come to work when you're not sick?"
Qiao Yilei's eyes flustered, "I...I'm sick."
"What disease?"
"Yes..." She clutched the handbag tightly, hesitated for a while before saying, "I have a cold and a fever."
"Not a miscarriage?"
Qiao Yilei's face froze, her mouth opened wide...
How did she know?
That's right, she went to the hospital yesterday for an abortion, and Shao Qiang scolded her when she found out about it. She came here now to wait for Shao Qiang.
But Shao Qiang called her five minutes ago, saying that he would not come over, and told her to leave the hotel immediately, but she was caught by this Gu Xinyan as soon as she came out.
