Chapter 173

"Yes, no, yes, no..."

In the afternoon, Qinglan sat in the editor in chief's office, looking at the cloudy sky outside the window, holding a pink peony flower in her hand and counting the petals in a very idle and boring way.

"... yes."

Qinglan looked at the last petal. She picked it off and put it in the notebook on her right. She thought for a moment, picked up the ink pen, spread out her notebook and recorded the great events that happened today - the important things, which should be recorded in notes.

Qinglan knows that she is not a smart person. Although Xiang Xuehai asked her to study, she just wanted to raise her value and create a "confidant". Naturally, she didn't learn any practical knowledge. She looked at poetry that hurt spring and autumn, articles that echo and praise, and skills to seduce men. In the final analysis, it was just to please men.

The reason why she knows a little about arithmetic is that her initial purpose is to make money to redeem herself and leave xiangxuehai. When it comes to making money, she naturally has to know arithmetic. She worked hard to find business opportunities, and did find some ideas to make money in those years, but she didn't have the capital to cooperate with other sisters. As a result, those sisters either turned over and didn't recognize people when they made money, or lost their temper at her after losing money.

Qinglan was almost desperate at that time: she had no capital and no one to trust, but she needed initial funds if she wanted to make money, and there was only one way for her to make initial funds from beginning to end, and she could make a lot of money quickly.

Because she is one of the candidates for Huakui that xiangxuehai is going to launch.

When Qinglan came out of the cabinet, xiangxuehai was crowded with xuanzhu rich businessmen and young heroes. Wearing gorgeous clothes she had never worn in her life and wearing elegant and charming makeup, she stood in the highest Pavilion in the fragrant snow sea and looked down on the elegant childe below like a queen, but she knew in her heart that they just wanted to drag themselves down and sink forever in the muddy sea.

For a moment, Qinglan thought it would be better to jump down like this and die in the fragrant snow sea to give the fragrant snow sea a good look. It can be regarded as exporting gas for herself.

The outcry for price rises one after another. Xiang Xuehai has a nice name for the cost of the waiter's first night out of the cabinet, which means "gracious gift", which means to thank Xiang Xuehai for bringing up his daughter. Obviously, it's an ironic auction ceremony, but Qinglan knows that many sisters compete with this - in fact, who receives more gifts when he comes out of the cabinet will have a better position in the fragrant snow sea.

Suddenly, a price exceeding dozens of times sounded in the fragrant snow sea, and there was silence around. Qinglan looked over and saw a young man with a calm face and gloomy appearance occupying a big table alone. He was raising a glass to say hello to himself.

She turned pale with fear.

The following story was also expected: when she was redeemed, aunt Hong squeezed out a few crocodile tears and sent herself away, but before she left, she couldn't help whispering a blessing that she could take care of herself; Several sisters came to congratulate themselves, but their eyes were either sympathy or pity.

This is not the first time she has seen Jing Zhengwei.

As early as a few years ago, Qinglan, who was still studying, found that the young master of the Jingjia family, who threw a lot of money, could be regarded as one of the important customers of xiangxuehai. He hardly stayed in xiangxuehai. He paid a premium to redeem the girl. At the beginning, Qinglan thought he was the Savior of the girls. But simultaneous interpreting his reputation for fame and pride, and his mysterious and terrifying tale.

Jing Zhengwei will come to xiangxuehai once every two or three months to redeem an innocent girl who has not yet left the cabinet;

No one knows where the girls went later;

When he comes to xiangxuehai, it means that the girl he redeemed last time is gone.

Just this information is enough for these human spirits who grew up in xiangxuehai to speculate the truth. If you say that the pavilion is just a degenerate road that cannot be turned back, it is a dead end to be redeemed by Jing Zhengwei - and it is also a dead end that can only live for two or three months!

This is the real despair, visible to the naked eye, expected, cold despair. When Qinglan saw Jing Zhengwei, she almost wanted to kneel down and beg him to let him go.

But unexpectedly, Jing Zhengwei didn't treat her rudely. Instead, he met her various requirements, and spent a lot of time traveling with her, reading and listening to music with her, and even didn't touch her. Although the behavior of "Qin day" is strange, it is still within the scope of Qinglan's acceptance.

However, the more Jing Zhengwei behaved like an asceticist, the more he looked at her with affectionate eyes, the more frightened Qinglan became. Sometimes, she couldn't even tell whether Jing Zhengwei's eyes were deep love or strong killing.

She also wanted to deceive herself. For example, Jing Zhengwei fell in love with her at first sight. For example, he was tired of playing and wanted to find an honest girl. For example... But she couldn't convince herself after all, because she couldn't find out the whereabouts of the girls who had redeemed Jing Zhengwei before.

Instead, she heard a sensational rumor among the servants of Jingfu.

When Qinglan is entangled and tortured by hope and despair, Jing Zhengwei suddenly wants to take her to Hongyue fortress to check accounts. When he went out, he had a whim and asked Qinglan to wear men's clothes and women's clothes himself.

Qinglan is more and more afraid - this interest that even his future wife can't talk about, he actually shows it in front of himself. Obviously, he doesn't intend to save his life!

However, on that night, everything changed.

After Jing Zhengwei killed the white haired assassin, his temperament suddenly changed.

He saw that he was no longer affectionate, only ordinary appreciation of lust, and a trace of dislike - Qinglan really saw a man dislike himself for the first time.

In a word, he doesn't seem to like himself. Qinglan is very happy.

He didn't accompany himself anymore. Instead, he asked himself to check his account book, but he ran to play cards. If he hadn't killed the housekeeper Shen Hong for the cruel reason of "why do you wear a hat today", Qinglan would think he had really become a good man.

He can still cry.

Qinglan still doesn't know why he cried that night. Later, she heard that a runaway maid died that night. Does he have a good relationship with that maid?

Later, the newspaper opened and changed more and more. The most incredible thing was that he made himself the general director of the newspaper.

Even now, Qinglan still has a dreamlike feeling sitting in the editor in chief's office.

Although it is not uncommon for women to hold important positions, it refers to talents with noble origins or amazing talents - talents are men and women.

Qinglan knows her position very well. She is a plaything and her identity is not higher than that of a servant. When Jing Zhengwei doesn't want to continue to maintain his good man mask, it may be her death date.

But he forcibly pushed himself to this position, and even came to the newspaper to sit down for her in person to suppress the dissatisfaction of the editors and authors of the newspaper. Apart from occasionally writing a few articles that are sure to be popular, she handles everything else.

Go to work, work, meet, plan, go home with him after work every day, and occasionally go to damenshi street to buy some snacks. She and other members of the newspaper will be happy to celebrate and even have the right to reward the members for their hard work.

Everyone also recognized her ability and looked at her not with contempt and disdain, but when she was a capable editor in chief.

It's like

She can live a normal life, too.

Qinglan wrote three lines in her notebook:

"A second attack in the middle of the city"

"Jing Qingxuan, the master of the Jing family, died, and Jing Zhengwu committed suicide."

"Young master, become the owner of the Jing family"

He finally sat in that position... Qinglan was a little melancholy. She stood up and looked out of the window and found a car passing through the rain curtain street outside.

She silently counted one, two and three. When she counted to three, the car just stopped.

Qinglan couldn't help feeling a little excited about the success of her childish guess. She felt that she had become a little strange recently: odd petals, even stairs, cars that stopped on the count of three, cutting out constant apple skins... She likes to do some childish things and make wishes to these inexplicable things, just to find out 10000 possibilities for her dreams to come true.

Suddenly, she recalled her conversation with the silver blood club in the car in the morning.

Childe, no matter what you want to do, no matter who your enemy is, no matter what happens, I will

TA. TA.

Footsteps sounded outside. Qinglan turned her head in surprise and found that it was the guard Mi die.

"Aunt MI, what's the matter?" Qinglan cleaned up her mood, sat down and asked, "there's news again?"

"... that's right." Mi Die said, "someone came to inform me that the childe sent Mrs. Tai to escort the criminal patrol guard and accused her of assassinating the former family leader Jing Qingxuan."

Qinglan pondered for a moment and said, "I probably know what the childe wants to do... The Youth Daily will help build momentum together."

"What's more," said Mi Die, "the childe is now the owner of the house. He will live in Jingyuan in the future."

"OK." Qinglan was not surprised at all: "let's go back early today and move some necessary items there -"

"The childe said, you don't have to go to Jingyuan."

Qinglan tilted her head and looked at Mi Die with flashing eyes. She seemed to doubt that she had heard wrong.

Mi die was silent for a moment and said again, "you continue to live in Jingfu. This is the childe's arrangement“

"Yes, too." Qinglan lowered her head, twisted her fingers, and said briskly, "it's time for you to talk about marriage and marry your wife. People like me are really not suitable to follow in the past. I'd like to stay in Jingfu. But it seems too big for me to live alone."

"Jingfu belongs to you now."

"Ah?"

"The young master said he would give you the Jing house. Now you are the master of the Jing house."

Qinglan suddenly raised her head, the bright light of hope appeared in her eyes, and her voice trembled slightly: "really, really?"

Mi Die nodded silently: "he also decided to abolish your deed of betrayal."

"Yes, isn't it?" Qinglan twisted her fingers, turned her mouth slightly upward, and her eyebrows were full of joy: "I will try my best to repay you in the future."

"The childe also said that you are free."

Qinglan tilted her head and looked at Mi Die with flashing eyes. The smile on her face faded.
