Chu Chu arrived at the location of the press conference - Sunshine Welfare Institute ahead of schedule, and the press conference started at 9 o'clock.

In the center of the courtyard was an extra rostrum, covered with red cloth, with dozens of seats placed underneath, and some potted plants arranged neatly on the ground. It was a very formal outdoor meeting place, not at all recognizable as a welfare home in the suburbs.

Seeing Chu Chu from afar, his assistant Yan Jie ran forward, "General Manager, why are you here?"

Looking around, the yard was a bit deserted, Chu Chu frowned, and looked towards the door, several reporters who entered the venue one after another were talking, the voice was quite loud, "Why don't you see the children in the yard?"

"Oh, didn't the reporter want to come, so I arranged for the children to go out to play, leaving only the dean here. General manager, what are your arrangements?"

Chu Chu didn't answer, and walked around the main house to the backyard.

In fact, he just wanted to be quiet, but unexpectedly found a person sitting on the steps of the warehouse.

What a wonderful fate!

Chu Chu couldn't help but chuckled, approached step by step, and sat down beside the man.Qin Yi turned his head to look at Chu Chu, and bent his mouth.

Both of them looked at the banyan tree in front of them without speaking. Although it was severe winter, the banyan tree was still full of foliage and full of vitality.

"Why are you here?" "Why are you here?" The two asked in unison, their eyes met, and they both smiled.

Qin Yi spoke first, and pointed to his ear, with a helpless expression, "I couldn't stand Director Liu's nagging, so I came here. Assistant Yan said you won't participate, why did you come here?"

"I couldn't stand the chairman's nagging, so I came here." Chu Chu imitated the other party's tone, tilted his head and pointed to his ear, in a good mood.

Maybe the temperature was too low, Chu Chu sneezed after speaking, and saw Qin Yi fiddled with a red earmuff out of nowhere, and put it on his head.Looking up at something that suddenly appeared, Chu Chu joked: "What is this? Could it be that lawyer Qin can do magic tricks."

"Don't the general manager know everything about me? He even knows that he has learned karate." Qin Yi was not to be outdone, smiled playfully, raised the red plastic bag on his left, and said seriously: "I went back to the city yesterday, on the way When I saw this hat, I planned to give it to Xiao Mo. Xiao Mo just came here and is not used to it yet."

"I don't wear children's stuff, I'm not cold." As he said that, Chu Chu made a gesture to take it off, but Qin Yi stretched out his hand to hold him down, with a sincere smile, and said softly, "It looks good!"

Staring blankly at Qin Yi, the other party's smile is brisk and warm, like the spring sunshine that makes people unable to move their eyes away. Chu Chu stopped the movement of his hands, and vaguely felt that the other party was approaching him, and gently pushed his forehead away. The hair brushed the brow bone and the bridge of the nose.

They were very close, and Chu Chu could clearly see the strange self in the other's eyes, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and an unidentifiable emotion sneaked into her heart.Chu Chu frowned, turned his head suddenly, his eyes were a little dodgy, and he didn't dare to look at the people beside him.

Qin Yi sighed softly, turned around and remained silent.That faint sigh made Chu Chu's heart skip a beat, and his body trembled slightly. Chu Chu took a few deep breaths, and secretly adjusted his chaotic and restless mood.

"Xiao Mo is 10 years old this year. He has just been here for less than a month. He is still not used to this place. He doesn't talk or play with other children. He likes to hide here by himself. Seeing him is like seeing me back then. It's the same At that age, when I first came to the orphanage, I was very wary of everyone, saddened by the death of my parents, and fearful of the future." After speaking, Qin Yi was silent for a while, his eyes looked into the distance, as if he had fallen into memories, his face His expression gradually became heavy.

Chu Chu looked at the other party quietly without making a sound. There was an inexplicable emotion in his eyes, as if he felt the pain in the other party's body. An unspeakable palpitation quietly seized him. It came so suddenly, and his eyes became more and more sad.She wanted to comfort the person in front of her, but Chu Chu didn't know what to do, her words were too pale.

What kind of person is this person in front of me?He speaks cynically and sarcasticly, has a hippie smile, likes to be wronged by others, is unambiguous when he should be serious, and now he is so frank about his pain, which one is the real him?Chu Chu couldn't help feeling suspicious.

"How did you persist? I mean, how did you adapt to this place?" Putting away his messy thoughts, Chu Chu calmed down, and asked lightly, trying to make his tone sound as normal as possible.

Hearing Chu Chu's words, Qin Yi turned sideways and looked at the other party for a while, his eyes became deep, his face changed momentarily, and soon returned to normal, with a bleak voice in his voice, "After a long time, naturally I'm used to it." Glancing at the hat on Chu Chu's head, Qin Yi got up from the steps and said with a smile, "You look good in the hat, so I gave it to you."

"No need." Chu Chu also stood up, glanced at his watch, and murmured angrily to himself. When he looked up, Qin Yi was no longer around.He quickly took off the hat, wanted to throw it away, but withdrew his hand, holding the red hat in his hand, Chu Chu walked quickly to the press conference, and saw the assistant stuffing the things into the opponent's arms, with a slightly embarrassed expression, " keep it."

A lot of media and reporters came to the scene. At 9 o'clock, Chu's press conference officially started.Chu Chu sat on the left hand side of Chairman Chu Xuan, and Chu Jinrong sat on the other side of Chu Xuan.At the meeting, the host introduced Chu Xuan’s speech, “About the recent land development project of the Sunshine Welfare Institute, first of all, I would like to make the following clarifications on behalf of Chu: [-]. The company will not close the welfare home, but only make a decision to relocate it; [-]. Welfare The land development rights of the hospital belong to Chu, and the legal basis is sufficient, and there is no violation of regulations; [-]. The company will jointly develop with Qisheng Group, and then it will be built into Asia's largest shopping mall integrating entertainment, leisure, shopping and catering. [-]. The company will take legal action to defend its legitimate rights and interests against the false reports of certain newspapers and media.”

"Today, here, Chu and the head of the Midwest Region of the Children's Charity Relief Fund Association will witness the launching ceremony of the activity of caring for deaf-mute children. The company will donate 500 million yuan to the fund to help those deaf-mute from poor families. Children complete treatment and follow-up rehabilitation."

Driven by the host, the reporters below applauded one after another, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic.Afterwards, Chu Xuan and the representative of the foundation association launched the activity of caring for deaf-mute children, which will be carried out nationwide from now on.After the launching ceremony, the main leaders of the company and the staff of the Foundation Association took a group photo.Then there was the on-site questioning. Before the start, the host vaccinated the reporters present. "Next is the questioning session. Friends from the media, please abide by the order, respect professional ethics, and do not spread false statements. Ask questions one by one..."

"I'm a reporter from Xujing City Daily. May I ask Chairman Chu, are the staff and children of the orphanage willing to relocate? Have you consulted the parties concerned?"

"I'm a reporter from Xujing Daily, Chairman Chu. You just said that the Chu family owns the land development rights of the welfare home. As we all know, the Sunshine Welfare Home was founded by your ex-husband Gu Huai. May I ask how you obtained the development rights? Did you sign the land at the beginning?" What are the additional conditions of the divorce agreement?"

"I'm a reporter from the Economic Observer, Chairman Chu. Why did you choose this place to build a shopping mall? It's not in a business district. There are rumors that you have reached a land exchange agreement with a certain government department. Is it true?"

"I'm a reporter from the News Network. May I ask the deputy general manager, Chu Xiao, the former deputy security minister of the Chu family, will be tried in court in the near future. If convicted, are you planning to appeal?"

Realizing that the reporter's questions were getting more tricky and off topic, the host hurriedly rounded up the situation, "Please don't deviate from the theme of the press conference with the next question. The chairman of the board has already given a detailed introduction about the land development of the welfare home, so I won't repeat it here. As for the former safety Deputy Minister Chu Xiao, the company has been relieved of his duties and has promised not to cover up any illegal and criminal acts of his own...Because of time constraints, today's press conference is here, thank you all media and reporters for coming!"

Chu Xuan left the venue in a hurry, and the reporters scrambled to get up and try to interview, but they still didn't get any useful information. They looked very disappointed and gathered in twos and threes in the yard, hesitating and refusing to leave.

Qin Yi helped the dean to go to the backyard. Chu Chu saw the other party from a distance. At this time, several reporters also saw the figure of the dean of the orphanage. They rushed to Qin Yi's side as if they had found news materials that could be dug, and extended the microphone. When they came to the dean, they asked in a hurry: "Excuse me, are you the dean of the orphanage? What do you think about the relocation of the orphanage?" "Do you agree to the relocation? Has the Chu family made any compensation?" "Is this piece of land really owned by the Chu family..."

Hearing the commotion here, the rest of the reporters and media rushed to Qin Yi and the dean, and surrounded the two so tightly that it was difficult to take a step.

Seeing this, Chu Chu called his assistant to go forward to disperse the reporters. With the help of the assistant, he finally squeezed to Qin Yi's side with difficulty. "Be careful!" Seeing that the camera was about to hit the dean, Chu Chu whispered, and quickly protected the dean behind him.

The machine bumped into the bridge of Chu Chu's nose with a bang, Chu Chu covered her nose and couldn't straighten up.Several female reporters shouted in shock and retreated one after another. Qin Yi immediately rushed to Chu Chu and took them away.The assistant stretched out his arms, blasted the reporters away, called the police and threatened them with warnings, all the tricks were used, and the reporters left one after another.

The blood was flowing between Chu Chu's fingers. Qin Yi frowned, approached, and slowly let go of Chu Chu's hand, "Let me see. It's a little bruised, stop the bleeding first. I'll go to the hospital for an examination to see if the bridge of the nose is damaged. No broken bones."

Pressing Chu Chu's head lightly, let the nosebleed flow out of the nostrils, Qin Yi helped him into the room, found a first aid kit, kept pressing and stuffed cotton balls in the nasal cavity to stop the bleeding.The assistant was dumbfounded, "Lawyer Qin, you are so skilled in this technique, you are simply a professional doctor."

Qin Yi didn't speak, just smiled. Five minutes later, Chu Chu's nosebleed stopped. Seeing that Qin Yi insisted on going to the hospital, Chu Chu complained in a low voice: "No, the bleeding has stopped. How can anyone go to the hospital every day!"

Qin Yi turned around and stared at Chu Chu for a while, with an unpredictable expression, "It's better to check it out, it's safer. Shall I go with you?" After finishing speaking, Qin Yi smiled, "It turns out that the general manager is afraid of going to the hospital!"

"Crazy!" Covering his nose, Chu Chu gave Qin Yi a hard look, with a particularly rich expression on his face, and yelled sharply at the door over the other side: "Yan Jie, go back to the company."

Qin Yi stood where he was, quietly looking at Chu Chu's back, thoughtful.
