One year later.

Pei Qingle finished the meeting and returned to her office. As soon as she came in, a special ring on her mobile phone rang.

From the beginning, has been cold face of her this time just showed a smile, Pei Qingle opened the mobile phone, suddenly saw the shadow of Xiao Rui on the screen.

Children always grow up very fast. After a year, Gu Mingrui's facial features have opened a lot than before. Although he still has his own childish features, his facial features are more handsome than before and more similar to the person's contour.

"Sister! When do you come? I've got the food ready for you Although one year old, Gu Mingrui's coquetry to Pei Qingle is still increasing.

Pei Qingle looked at the time: "how about the evening? Wait for me a second! "

"OK..." Gu Mingrui was still a little lost in the last second, but after seeing Pei Qingle's slightly flustered eyes, he immediately said with a smile: "don't worry, I'll wait for you, and I won't steal it!"

"How nice Pei Qingle smiles and comes to the camera to give a relative.

Gu Mingrui's ears are red and he can't help laughing.

Hang up the video phone, Pei Qingle face also with a little smile, once again dial a phone number, but this time, the smile on his face suddenly put away, recovered the previous depression.

"Hello, Miss Pei." The voice over the phone said respectfully.

"How is it going? Did you find anything? " Pei Qingle asked in a low voice.

"I'm sorry, Miss Pei. We still haven't tracked down anything related. All of Mr. Gu's identity information has never been found after that day a year ago. What's more, we regret to inform you that it has been a year, even if we insist on salvage, we can't get anything out of it. "

Pei Qingle stopped and his voice became cold: "I will give you the money. What you have to do is to carry out further salvage according to my instructions. Besides, we should not only investigate Xinhai, but also other provinces and cities, especially those near the coast. "

"Yes, Miss Pei." The man on the other side of the mobile phone has given up and continues to struggle. He would like to say that it has been a year, and nothing can be found. Most of this person is dead.

But he is also clear in this line, sometimes no news, is the life-saving straw for many people.

It's better to keep a hopeless wait than to give them a heavy blow.

After Pei Qingle hung up the phone, he kept rubbing his eyebrows.

At this time, the door of the office was knocked, and sister Lin pushed the door in and saw Pei Qingle, who was in a trance.

"What's the matter? Not feeling well? " Sister Lin asked with a worried face.

Pei Qingle laughed and shook his head: "it's OK. I haven't had a good rest these days. Can I help you? "

Sister Lin took a deep look at her, a belly of words held in the heart, want to say but do not know how to say.

This year, it may seem unknown to outsiders, because they have little contact with the real Pei Qingle. But as a witness how she came step by step, sister Lin is no longer clear, how much she has changed.

Pei Qingle's words are much less. In the past, even in the most difficult times, she was always the person with an active atmosphere, and to a large extent, a few words can make people incomparable trust. In retrospect, when sister Lin recalled, when she was so upset, confused and even confused, it was almost Pei Qingle who took the initiative to comfort them.

But now, except when necessary, Pei Qingle seldom talks, and most of the time just expresses his own opinions.

And the smile on her face is much less, so a year, sister Lin recalled, almost no in Pei Qingle's face to see several times from the heart of the smile. It seems that she has put on a thick layer of armor, and completely sealed her heart, telling everyone that it's OK, but everyone knows that she has something hidden in her heart.

Sister Lin sighed. She wanted to talk to Pei Qingle, but she didn't know where to start.

Because Pei Qingle, but from the surface, has done the best. Now that there is no limit from Lu Wenhua, we don't have to worry about how to guard against Lu Wenhua. Moreover, Pei Zhengguo has come back to serve as the chairman of the board of directors, and Pei Qingle can make a lot of efforts.

It turns out that she is really suitable for the position of general manager.

In a short period of one year, Pei's development has been faster than that of the previous five years. If the Pei family in Lu Wenhua's hands was just a precarious enterprise, it was already on the decline. Now the Pei family, led by Pei Qingle, has seized every opportunity, not only on the uphill road, but has even crossed a mountain.

Sister Lin sighed in her heart and could only speak helplessly.

"There will be a charity party tomorrow, which is held by the business chairman of Xinhai. Basically all enterprises with names will attend. You may have to attend."

Pei Qingle seldom attends the activities in public and hardly socializes. Besides the press conference of Daoming everything, more often. She's mysterious.

However, sister Lin was really worried that if she continued like this, she would be more closed to herself, and the charity party was indeed very important, so she came to discuss with her in person."Well, I see." Pei Qingle thought for a while, but did not refuse.

At night.

Pei Qingle finished the day's work. First, she went to the home and played with the little guy for a while. She watched him finish his homework and told a lot of fairy tales with him. After watching the child fall asleep, she slowly got up from the bed.

She looked at the sleeping face of the little guy, and the figure of Gu Linhan appeared in her mind. The more late at night, those accumulated, hidden and suppressed thoughts all burst out.

Pei Qingle sighs and kisses Gu Mingrui on the cheek.

After leaving Xiaorui's room, the housekeeper was used to her coming at night. The housekeeper said with a smile: "Miss Pei, there is soup in the kitchen. Can I help you to fill a bowl?"

"No, I have something else to do. I'll go back first."

Pei Qingle said goodbye with a smile and drove back to Pei's home alone.

In the evening, Pei Qingle habitually picked up sleeping pills and took two pills. Since Gu Linhan left, she couldn't sleep all night. She had to rely on sleeping pills to temporarily fall asleep. Unconsciously, it has become a habit.

She lies on the bed, the diamond ring on the ring finger glitters, but Pei Qingle closes her eyes like a walking corpse.

Every day without that person, her life is orderly and busy, but she has already lost all her soul, only a tired body, trying to pretend that nothing has happened.

Even a lonely night did not dare to face, only dare to rely on sleeping pills to spend.
