In the morning, the city seemed to know nothing of the darkness that had just passed.

Although countless people had struggled and hesitated in the endless night, when the sun rose every day, it was also them who set once again with their hopes.

However, the current Lin Qingrou did not feel even the slightest hint of hope. Because facing Qin Ling was something that could never be linked to hope.

She was sitting in her new seat, holding a pen in her hand. Her eyes stared unblinkingly at the door of Qin Ling's office as it opened and closed, waiting for him to call her into his office to assign her a task.

Maybe he would scold her, or give her an interview that was difficult to complete. The worst thing was to torture her with an endless amount of work, and then he would just watch from the sidelines. Lin Manmei thought.

Sure enough, after Qin Ling called Lin Manshui into his office, he had been leisurely reading the laptop with a pen for almost half an hour without saying a word.

"Chairman Qin, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first." Lin Qingrou said coldly, massaging her knees that seemed to be dislocated. He had been standing here for the past half hour.

Qin Ling glanced at her sideways. Although he couldn't bear to watch, he still couldn't forget the scene of Lin Manrou using a hand knife to "lock her throat" last time. Thus, he had no choice but to avoid her eyes unwillingly and was finally willing to open his "honorable mouth" and impatiently say:

"Two new employees are coming today. Take them to get an interview."

After he finished speaking, Qin Ling took out two forms and threw them across the table.

Lin Qingrou glanced at Qin Ling, made a "En" sound, then picked up the documents and left.

She finally returned to her chair and sat down. The discomfort in her legs was finally alleviated, and she couldn't help but sigh.

Lin Manshou rubbed her legs as she looked at the resumes of the two new employees.

He Zheng, Qin Yang. Both of them had graduated from undergraduate school, and their looks were both outstanding and good.

Lin Qingrou looked at Qin Yang's resume and felt that it was a little strange. However, she couldn't tell what was wrong with him.

Qin Yang seemed to be the same as the senior sitting in this office when he had just started work. He had an ordinary but passable education. Although he was a professional accountant, it didn't really match, but he seemed to be passionate about this job. Therefore, this only served to set a good example for the other person who really made Lin Qingrou curious: He Zither.

If it was said that girls in the fashion department were the best at managing themselves, then He Zheng was truly a natural born beauty. And, to everyone's surprise, she had a degree that made it easy for her to find a job in any of the first-tier cities.

The question was, why would she choose this place? It had to be known that Lin Qingrou's company was neither big nor small. However, if one were to compare it to the large companies located in the northern part of the company, the difference would be like heaven and earth.

As she was thinking, Xiao Rou, who was at the front desk, suddenly brought the person over.

Lin Qingrou raised her head and saw that it was indeed Qin Yang and He Zither.

After a busy morning, when the three of them finally had time to talk, it was already 2 in the afternoon.

He Zheng bought a cold drink from who knows where and passed it to Qin Yang and Lin Qingrou.

"The ministry works like a war every day, so you have to be prepared." Lin Qingrou said.

He Zheng nodded silently. Qin Yang occasionally looked at the roadside or his surroundings, as if he could not stay still for even a moment.

Lin Qingrou looked faintly at Qin Yang. Although she had a feeling that she couldn't accurately describe it now, she knew that this was a very disturbing aura. At the very least, it made her feel uncomfortable.

As a result, He Zheng was much quieter. She was quiet and reserved, but she always seemed to be preoccupied with her own thoughts.

"Sister Lin, has the Ministry of Political Affairs and Political Affairs always been like this?" He Zheng suddenly asked.

At first, Lin Qingrou thought she was asking if the Ministry of Current Affairs was always this busy, so she nodded and explained.

But He Zheng didn't seem to be asking about that. She shook her head.

"Chairman Qin has so many people in the Ministry of Current Affairs, but I've seen the news he reported before. It seems to be largely untrue, doesn't it?"

Lin Qingrou was stunned for a moment. She could not help but feel that the young man's words were straightforward, not caring about who was sitting across from him. The young man did not care about who was sitting opposite to him.

"Of course not, the company will not allow others to be on their side. However, the leadership issue is also not something that we should be concerned about." Lin Qingrou turned to look at He Zheng.

He Zheng frowned. He seemed to have heard it, but also seemed to be thinking about something else. However, this only served to increase her curiosity towards He Zheng.

Qin Yang smiled, as if he did not care about these things. Or rather, he did not seem to care too much about this job.

For some reason, every time she saw Qin Yang, she would think of him. Could there be a relationship between them?

Lin Qingrou thought about it quietly, and almost forgot about the phone in her pocket. She took a look and saw that it was Ye Qingming's number. She then stood up to listen to it.

"You still haven't gotten off work?" Ye Qingming asked.

Lin Qingrou walked to the side of the road and subconsciously looked back at the two people behind her. Unexpectedly, their eyes met. Qin Yang smiled in embarrassment and quickly turned his head.

However, Lin Qingrou felt very uncomfortable, as if he had been spying on her for the past few minutes. She could not help but rub her glabella and said, "That's right, I'm still busy." Why did you get off work? "

As she spoke, she shook her head and looked at the empty road in the distance, trying to clear her mind. But as she looked at the empty road in the distance, she couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

Ye Qingming did not know what happened. Just as he replied with an "En" and was about to speak, he heard Lin Qingrou say in a hurry, "I won't talk to you for now. There's an emergency here."

After saying that, she decisively hung up the phone.

It was as if she saw a familiar person on the other side of the street. She could not believe it. She rubbed her eyes until it hurt, but she did not feel any discomfort. She only stared straight at the other side.

Wasn't that Xing Ruonan!?

If it was anyone else who was right, perhaps they would have made a mistake. However, every day, Lin Qingrou and Xing Ruonan looked at the pictures of her and Ye Qingming's past, and Xing Ruonan's face, was deeply engraved in Lin Qingrou's mind. It had never been forgotten.

However, in the blink of an eye, Xing Ruonan seemed to have walked further and further away. In just a few seconds, she had turned off the road and disappeared from sight. Lin Qingrou held her phone in a daze. Looking at the empty street across the street, she regretted not having taken a single photo.

"Sister Lin? Sister Lin?" He Zheng's voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

Lin Qingrou snapped out of her daze. When she turned around to look at He Zheng and He Qing, it was as if several centuries had passed. Is Sister Lin talking to her boyfriend on the phone? " Qin Yang suddenly asked about a lot of things.

He Zheng looked at him, then looked at Lin Qingrou. He then picked up his stuff without a word.

Lin Qingrou ignored Qin Yang, because she was still thinking about Xing Ruannan. However, what she did not know was that when she turned around again, Qin Yang suddenly sneered disdainfully at her back.

It was unknown when Xing Ruonan had suddenly appeared in front of Lin Qingrou.

In the blink of an eye, it was as if everything around them and themselves had turned into endless black and white. The two of them sat looking at each other, but their eyes were different.

Lin Qingrou's eyes were filled with curiosity, confusion, guilt and even fear. However, it was different for Xing Ruonan. She looked down at Lin Qingrou with disdain, ridicule, and hatred on her face.

"You're wearing my mask and acting as my substitute, aren't you very pleased with yourself?" In this aimless black and white world, only Xing Ruonan's bright red lips were the only color.

Lin Qingrou started to feel cold, she almost begged him, "I didn't mean to steal your position, I, I just …" She spoke some poor words, as if she knew the answers but could not write them down and did not know how to answer.

However, Xing Ruonan's bright and secretive red lips suddenly said to her, "You will definitely receive your retribution!" Then she took out a sharp knife from somewhere and stabbed it towards Lin Qingrou's chest!

Lin Qingrou couldn't help but shriek. It was as if her heart was stuck in her chest, causing her to feel a headache coming on.

Ah!

Lin Qingrou sat up abruptly, opening her eyes wide, as if she was a person from the silent sea who had suddenly returned to the shore, breathing in the air in big gulps. Then, she subconsciously looked around at the familiar furniture and furnishings, then looked at the blanket she was wearing and the book she was carrying on her chest. After a while, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

It was a dream.

However, Lin Qingrou could clearly remember every word that Xing Ruonan had said in her dreams. It was as if she had truly lived her own life. She couldn't help but hold her head as she shrank back against the bed. Instantly, all her hatred, unwillingness, and guilt towards those innocent people that she had used before seemed to be about to crush her.

However, Lin Qingrou knew that no matter how much she hated and feared him, it was useless. As she thought about it, her eyes gradually changed from fear to full of anger. Lin Qingrou walked from the bedroom to the study. She took out the scalpel from the drawer and stabbed it into the location of Ye Qingcheng's heart without saying a word!

She would return the favor, and even if Lin Qingrou had to return it, she would not give up!
