Ling Qianqian's entire body was aching as she woke up. As far as she could see, everything was pitch black. Why was she here? The scenes from before quickly returned to her mind. She only remembered that Ou Yufan had called her into his office. Then he angrily accused her of selling out the company, and then he took her into the lounge and …
Then this should be the resting room of Ou Yufan's office? Ling Qianqian, who had gradually gotten used to the light in the house, looked around. The familiar decorations let her know that her guess was not wrong. The place beside them had become ice-cold. Probably Ou Yufan had already left, as he dragged his exhausted body down to turn on the light.
The blinding light caused Ling Qianqian to raise her hand to cover her eyes. After a while, she finally adapted to the light in the room. She picked up his clothes from the ground and wore them randomly, causing his stomach to throb with pain. Ling Qianqian painfully held onto his stomach. Damn it, she must have had a stomach attack again. She had been starving for work before, and now she had a slight stomach ulcer.
She had to find something to eat as soon as possible, so Ling Qianqian walked out. It was only after she left the resting room did she realize that it was pitch black. Looking at the time, it was already past one in the morning. She had actually slept all the way until now, no wonder she was so hungry. She didn't know if the door was locked at this late hour, but if it was locked, she wouldn't be able to leave the company.
Ling Qianqian remembered that there were snacks that were usually prepared for the employees in the tea room, and she turned on the lights in her office the whole way. It would be a lie to say that she was not afraid when she was alone in such an empty room in the middle of the night. From time to time, many supernatural incidents would occur in her mind under such circumstances. Bang bang bang bang, Ling Qianqian could even hear her own heartbeat, and suddenly it was as if her feet had kicked something.
Ah!" Ling Qianqian screamed in fear as she covered her head with her hands and knelt down.
Only then did Ling Qianqian realize that she had accidentally kicked over the trash basket just now. She comforted herself with the thought of not thinking too much. She tried her best to get rid of those terrifying images that appeared in her mind and walked out of the CEO's office with his phone.
With the faint light from his cell phone, he found the switch in the corridor and finally arrived at the tea room. When all the lights had been turned on by her, and the room was filled with light, Ling Qianqian's heart finally calmed down a little. He quickly found some snacks and made himself a cup of milk tea before sitting down to eat.
After a while, he finally felt that his stomach was much better, and Ling Qianqian heaved a sigh of relief. Looks like Ou Yufan left on his own accord. This pig was simply too despicable to leave her here. Recalling back when he misunderstood her, Ling Qianqian became even angrier. She would definitely not take the blame for something she had never done before.
Ling Qianqian also didn't believe that Bai Ziqiang would treat his like this. Although he was the one who started the fight, she knew that Bai Ziqiang's character wasn't bad. Otherwise, she wouldn't have interacted with him back then. The former Bai Ziqiang was a youth who advanced, but unfortunately … Forget it, what qualifications did she have to evaluate the lives of others?
But at least Ling Qianqian believed that Bai Ziqiang would not frame him like this. As long as he could find him and ask tomorrow, everything would become clear. Seeing that it was still midnight, Ling Qianqian returned to the resting room. It was already so late, so she might as well stay here. The environment here was good, and it just so happened that they did not have to face Ou Yufan and Angel at all.
Ling Qianqian once again returned to her bed, and before long, she fell into a deep sleep.
The morning sunlight shone into the room and onto Ling Qianqian's face. After her long eyelashes blinked a few times, Ling Qianqian slowly opened her eyes. It was already dawn, so she should go out and ask Bai Ziqiang about this. He quickly washed up, put on the clothes from yesterday and left the Ou’s Group.
Ling Qianqian did not immediately go and find Bai Ziqiang. Instead, she first went back to her house to change, and then ate a simple breakfast. Looking at the time, it was already eight-thirty, only then did she find a taxi and hurry towards the Lin's Property.
Although the Lin's Property building was not as grand as the Ou’s Group building, it was still quite large. Ling Qianqian immediately walked into the hall, came to the front desk and asked: "May I ask if Bai Ziqiang is there?"
"You're looking for our Vice President? Do you have an appointment? " The front desk girl smiled at Ling Qianqian.
"No, please tell him my name is Ling Qianqian, tell him that I have something important to look for him, I believe he will meet me." Ling Qianqian politely looked at the other party. Bai Ziqiang's previous cell phone number had already changed, if not she wouldn't have needed to go through so much trouble.
"I'm sorry Miss Ling, our Vice Chairman is very busy every day. Unless there is an appointment, we will not let you see the Vice President." The front desk miss still did not allow Ling Qianqian to enter.
"I really have urgent business with him. Can I trouble you to help me?" Ling Qianqian said anxiously.
"I'm sorry, I really can't help you."
Seeing that she was not allowed to enter, Ling Qianqian had no choice but to leave the Lin's Property. Since she could not enter, she could just wait outside. As long as Bai Ziqiang went to work, she would be able to see him. Not much time had passed, and a silver grey BMW arrived from afar, inside it sat a man in a suit and leather shoes. It was Bai Ziqiang.
Beside him sat a woman in her forties. It was Lin Hong, since she looked to be close to forty years old. At this time, Lin Hong was using the mirror to look at her face, while tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, "Zi Qiang, the beauty salon that you introduced me to last time seems pretty good. When you have time, you should go and do some skin maintenance."
Bai Ziqiang laughed, "Even if Sister Hong doesn't take care of herself, she is still young and beautiful. As for me, a man shouldn't go to that place."
"So what? There are a lot of men taking care of now. I saw the Director Zhang from Qi Hong's company accompanying his wife the day before yesterday. If you have time, go with me." Lin Hong glanced at Bai Ziqiang in dissatisfaction. Was it really shameful to go out with her? The more he didn't want to go, the more she wanted him to go with her.
Bai Ziqiang laughed, "It's obviously fine for me to accompany you, but there's no need for me to take care of it. "Actually, I want to look more mature. Wouldn't it be better if we stood together?"
"Are you looking down on me for being old?" Lin Hong stared at Bai Ziqiang unhappily. He was older than him, so what about it? Didn't he still have to obediently stay by her side?
Bai Ziqiang shook his head, and said absent-mindedly: "Why would I despise you for being old? In fact, you are older than me. "
"So what? Have you seen enough of my face to look for a young one? Bai Ziqiang, let me tell you this, do you think that you can leave me now that your wings have hardened? A single word from me will make you once again become a pauper. You better think about it clearly. " Lin Hong looked at Bai Ziqiang with a flustered and exasperated expression.
"Sister Hong, you misunderstood. I don't think so. So what if you're a young woman? You think I'm going to like it? I just want to shorten the distance between us. Age is not my choice. "But I can try my best to look mature on the outside. I don't want others to say behind your back that you are a gigolo. Don't you want us to look like normal couples?" Bai Ziqiang didn't panic at all as he grabbed Lin Hong's hand and looked at her seriously.
"Is that true?" Do you really think so? " Lin Hong looked at Bai Ziqiang's sincere eyes, and suddenly felt his heart beating quickly, a feeling that he had not felt in a long time.
"Of course, we have been together for such a long time, don't you believe me? Rather than making you suspect me like that, I think it's better for me to just leave the Lin's Property. Worse comes to worse, I'll just go and find another job. " Bai Ziqiang let go of Lin Hong's hands with a straight face and stepped on the brake.
"No no, self-strengthening, how could I not believe you? Just now, it was just … Of course I believe in you. " Lin Hong saw that Bai Ziqiang was really angry and quickly coaxed him as well. Since the time she had been with Bai Ziqiang, it was as if she had received a new lease of life, and being with him allowed her to once again radiate with a youthful vigor.
Bai Ziqiang turned his head around and looked at Lin Hong with rapt attention, as he grabbed her hand once again, and said seriously: "Hong, even though there is a difference in age between us, in my heart, you are still just a little girl. It had nothing to do with appearance, but rather the feelings of the heart. I just want to become more mature and powerful. I don't want to be the man that you protect. I want to protect you, my woman. I just want to be a man worthy of you, at work, in life and in front of outsiders, you understand? "
"Strengthening yourself... I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have doubted you. All along, I thought you were just using me. I was scared too, but I just didn't want you to leave my side. I don't know what's wrong with me, but you won't laugh at me if you act like this, right? " Lin Hong looked at Bai Ziqiang's serious expression, and the depths of his heart throbbed. At this moment, she was no longer a strong woman in the shopping mall. Instead, she looked like a young girl who was worried about her personal gains and losses.
"I know how you feel, you think, and am I not? Every time I hear you say that you're taking care of me, you don't know how sad I feel. It's my inability to make you talk. I don't want that. I don't want others to say that Bai Ziqiang is Lin Hong's man again, I want them to say that you are my woman. " Bai Ziqiang said as he pulled Lin Hong into his embrace and gently kissed her forehead.
"I'm sorry, but I didn't expect you to be under so much pressure. It's all my fault. Don't worry, in the future if I hear anyone in the company dare to say that, I will fire that person. After so many years of running such a big company by myself, I feel really tired. I want a man who I can depend on. In the future, I will let you run the company so that no one will gossip about you anymore. " Lin Hong leaned on Bai Ziqiang's broad chest, and heard his steady heartbeat. At this moment, she felt an incomparable sense of relief …
