Boss, lend me a baby

Leaning lazily against the floor-to-ceiling windows, Shang Wanqiu looked down at the lights of thousands of houses and slowly revealed a soft smile.

"What are you thinking about?" Xia Beicheng gave her a cup of tea and looked out the window with her.

Pushing his long and messy hair behind his shoulders, Shang Wanqiu felt helpless: "My dad, I don't know what to say."

Her old man said that he loved her daughter very much, but that's not necessarily true, because what he cared about most was the Shang family's decades-long foundation.

But apart from the Shang family's foundation, the old man must still love her as his daughter the most.

After all, even if my sister gave birth to two sons, even if she worked hard for decades, she would still be the leader when it came to dividing the equity...

"Perhaps, we can not tell the truth for now." Xia Beicheng pondered.

Although Mr. Shang looks relatively strong, he is over eighty years old and has heart disease.

In addition, Shang Donghua has not woken up for seven years, and his second daughter is having troubles. The old man may not be able to withstand this blow.

Shang Wanqiu nodded: "I think so too, but I need a perfect excuse."

This trip may never come back, what reason should I find...

Xia Beicheng pondered: "It's a bit difficult to ask him to let you go without worrying about you. We have to think about it carefully."

Shang Wanqiu drew circles on the glass with his fingertips, one after another.

Finally, she smiled: "I know what to do."

"Huh?" he asked with his eyes.

She stood up straight and shrugged: "What else can be done? Of course, the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain."

Xia Beicheng was confused, but he agreed with her idea: "Of course."

"So, now the only thing left is to let Yunting come back." She smiled slightly, "Let's call him back first, let's go to the board of directors' office, and we'll deal with him later."

She was about to make a call when her phone rang with a cheerful ringtone.

"Is there a call from Yunting?" Xia Beicheng turned to look at the screen.

"It's not Yunting's, it's his secretary's. It's really strange why Secretary Guan called me."

Although she was hesitant, she still answered it calmly.

"Director Shang, four hours ago Mrs. Shang said that Mr. Shang had gone to Xiaodao and asked me for Xiaodao's phone number." Secretary Guan spoke very quickly, "But Xiaodao said that Mr. Shang has not arrived yet."

Shang Wanqiu's heart tightened: "What about now? Isn't it here yet?"

"Yes, I just called Xiaodao again, and they said that Mr. Shang has not arrived yet." Secretary Guan said in an anxious tone, "The manager arrived two hours ago."

Shang Wanqiu's heart tightened: "How many people are traveling with him? Can we contact him?"

"Shangguan Miaoyou told me that he and Ouyang Zhu accompanied Mr. Shang across the island. So there should be three people, but they couldn't be contacted."

"How could..." Shang Wanqiu murmured.

Secretary Guan said: "Yes, I also felt strange and worried, so I took the liberty to call Director Shang."

"Of course you should tell me. Thank you, Secretary Guan." Shang Wanqiu maintained a calm tone, "I'll check first."

After ending the call, her face turned pale.

Xia Beicheng calmly put his arm around her shoulders and asked her to lean against him.

He said: "It's so far away, how can I check it? Let me contact my friends in Australia to help find it."

"Yeah." Shang Wanqiu nodded and went to make another call.

Her fingertips trembled slightly, and she couldn't press the screen correctly several times, and then she clicked back and started again.

"Maybe they just haven't reported to the island leader, so they can't be contacted." Xia Beicheng comforted softly.

"I have to ask Qu Muyang to check the personnel information of Shangguan Miao and Ouyang Zhu." Shang Wanqiu said, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat, "Ouyang Zhu? Ouyang? Ou?"

She thought of the newly recruited Ouyang Lan.

Why are these two names so similar?

Seeing that she couldn't press the screen correctly, Xia Beicheng simply took her mobile phone and found Qu Muyang's number and dialed it.

As soon as the phone call came through, Shang Wanqiu hurriedly asked: "Director Qu, does it say that Ouyang Zhu and Ouyang Lan are related in their personnel information?"

Any family relationship with the company must be stated on the employment information.

"No." Qu Muyang said immediately, "Because their names are similar, I checked them specifically, so I have an impression."

"Maybe I just didn't write it." Shang Wanqiu murmured.

"No. Ouyang Zhu's registered name is Ouyang Zhu, which has nothing to do with Ouyang Lan."

"His surname is Ou?" Shang Wanqiu's heart sank suddenly, "Director Qu, there is someone named Ou in the company, you should tell me."

Qu Muyang explained: "Ouyang Zhu has been with the company for eight or nine years, so..."

The murder of Ou Mingjing and Shang Donghua happened only seven years ago.

Shang Wanqiu slowly ended the call, closed his eyes, and almost failed to stand still.

"Wan Qiu, don't worry, maybe it's just a false alarm." Xia Beicheng hugged her tightly lovingly.

She needed to take a good rest, it was not suitable for her to have such high and low moods.

"Well, I can't be in a hurry." Shang Wanqiu murmured, but his body involuntarily became weak.

Seeing her rapid decline, Xia Beicheng's heart tightened and he bent down to pick her up: "I'll take you to the hospital first."

He was a little panicked, fearing that she might not be able to hold on.

I went to the hospital, and if there was someone at all, I could at least be rescued immediately.

"I'm fine." Shang Wanqiu struggled.

How could she survive an anxious man? Xia Beicheng picked her up and ran away.

Fortunately, it was very close to the hospital. When he was sent to the hospital, although Shang Wanqiu was a little weak, he seemed to have recovered.

"It's okay, just sit here." She pointed to the bench next to the emergency building.

Seeing that her expression improved, Xia Beicheng dared to let go.

He sat next to her, using it as a human cushion to keep her close to him, which would make her more comfortable.

Shang Wanqiu calmed down: "Let me ask Wanwan, maybe she has news about Yunting."

The two of them are now inseparable, and they should be the first to know the other's whereabouts.

After the call was connected, Tong Wanwan blurted out: "Did aunt call Yunting? What did he say?"

"..." Shang Wanqiu moved his lips but said nothing.

When she was about to say something, someone said hello next to her, so she covered the mouth of her mobile phone and turned around to deal with it.

"Director Shang, congratulations!"

Shang Wanqiu smiled slightly: "Oh?"

Where does joy come from?

"Congratulations to Director Shang for being promoted to aunt again. I am an obstetrician and gynecologist. Mrs. Shang did an urgent pregnancy test in the evening. I am very happy."

"Really?" Shang Wanqiu was indeed surprised and happy.

Wanwan actually didn't tell her and went back to settle the score with her.

Overwhelmed by this joy, she instantly became energetic, as if the weakness just now was just an illusion.

"Wan Qiu, your phone number." Xia Beicheng pointed to her mobile phone with a smile.

When she was so happy, she forgot that she was talking to Tong Wanwan.

Shang Wanqiu quickly turned up the volume to listen to the phone, and sure enough, Wanwan was on the other end muttering depressedly: "It's strange, why there's no sound. Auntie? Auntie, are you there..."

"I'm here. The signal was not good just now. I was about to call Yunting." Shang Wanqiu said calmly.

"Well, I want to call him later." Tong Wanwan muttered, "I don't know how far the island is and whether he has arrived."

Shang Wanqiu said softly: "Don't worry about Yunting, I'm here."
