In the bright office, Gu Qiaoan was sitting at the desk looking at the documents in his hands. Gu Yichen went abroad for treatment. Since the car accident five years ago, his body has been very weak.

She is the only one who takes care of the company's affairs, her brother is not around, she is obviously under a lot of pressure, the old antiques in the company are watching, and they will have a foot in no matter what they do.

But these, Gu Qiaoan handles them with ease, after all these years have passed, but there are still some things that she can't help herself.

Just as she was thinking, the private mobile phone on the table rang suddenly. Gu Qiaoan looked at it, and immediately answered the phone. The person on the phone didn't know what to say, so Gu Qiaoan hung up the phone, got up, took her clothes and went out .

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Xia Qingning took a taxi to the Imperial City Hotel, where the editor asked her to go for the award presentation.

She knows this hotel, it is the most luxurious hotel in city A.

After arriving at the entrance of the hotel, Xia Qingning called the editor. When the editor heard that she was here, he was so happy that he couldn't help but say that he would pick her up at the door and asked Xia Qingning to wait for him. Xia Qingning agreed. up.

The Imperial Hotel at night looks extraordinarily beautiful, the bright lights are quiet and charming under the still moonlight, the scene inside should be even more unimaginable, Xia Qingning stared at the door of the hotel, in a daze of boredom!

After a while, a man in a gray suit hurried out from the hotel. Xia Qingning guessed that he should be the editor. He was about to make a phone call when he accidentally saw Xia Qingning and looked at her with some uncertainty. After waving, Xia Qingning was sure in her heart, so she also waved to him.

After getting a response, the man ran towards her excitedly.

"You are Xia Qingning?"

the man asked in surprise.

Xia Qingning smiled lightly and responded, "Isn't it?"

The editor was completely speechless, and smiled, "I didn't realize that I was in charge of such a young girl, Aunt Liang. Hello, my name is Wen Jiang."

He stretched out his hand gently.

"Hello, Xia Qingning."

Under the leadership of Wen Jiang, Xia Qingning successfully arrived at the hall of the awards ceremony, which was already crowded with people.

Wen Jiang didn't take Xia Qingning inside directly, but took her to the dressing room not far away with a little apology, and said with some embarrassment,

"Miss Xia, right? You've also seen that to attend this party, you must dress formally. Of course, I know that writers are the same. I'm used to it. Please forgive me, Miss Xia."

Xia Qingning nodded, expressing her understanding. Wen Jiang borrowed a dress from his assistant specially for Xia Qingning. The color was very beautiful, it was white that Xia Qingning liked, and it was a tube top dress with a simple design.

After Xia Qingning changed, she went directly to the awards hall, sat down by a juice counter, took a glass of water from it, drank it slowly, and began to look at the surrounding environment by the way.

While watching, Xia Qingning felt someone sitting down next to her. She turned her head and saw a middle-aged man in a black suit staring at her with a smile on her face. Seeing Xia Qingning turning her head, His eyes started to size up even more unscrupulously.

A trace of disgust flashed in Xia Qingning's eyes, she turned her head away, then got up and changed positions.

Fortunately, the awards show started soon, and Xia Qingning breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she was safe for the time being.

After the host finished his opening remarks with enthusiasm, the awards ceremony soon began. As batches of people went up to receive the awards, Xia Qingning's eyes were a little dizzy, but it was still not her turn.

She was extremely bored, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the person presenting the awards on the stage. It turned out to be the middle-aged man who had been staring at her just now. He was presenting awards to the people on the stage with a smile on his face.

The smile on his face did not show that he was a rude person at all.

Xia Qingning knew that she should stay away from this man to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Finally, it was Xia Qingning's turn.

Let us applaud and welcome the winner of the best-selling novelist--Xia Qingning

There was thunderous applause from the audience, Xia Qingning calmly walked onto the stage under the flashing lights, walked quietly to the host, and stood still.

Next, please welcome our distinguished guest today with warm applause, Ms. Gu Qiaoan, the general manager of the Gu Group, and present the award to Ms. Xia Qingning.

Xia Qingning was stunned, she didn't expect it.

Just a few hours after returning to this city, they met again, and for such a legitimate and reasonable reason, Xia Qingning wanted to laugh, but the corners of her mouth seemed to be stiff, and she couldn't laugh no matter what.

It was pitch black under the stage, only the overhead light was still on, which dazzled her a little, making her unable to see how many people, how many tables, and how many wine glasses there were under the stage.

That's right, no wonder I couldn't see Gu Qiaoan, it turned out that it was too dark underneath!

Gu Qiaoan walked onto the stage gracefully amidst the applause like a tide, took the certificate from the hostess lady, and handed it to Xia Qingning. Xia Qingning raised her head and saw the person in front of her at a glance, but just stared at her indifferently, Her eyes were so distant that she thought she didn't recognize the person in front of her.

Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if dissatisfied that she still didn't take the things in her hand, but there was no other expression. Xia Qingning thought it was a little funny, but she didn't show it. It turns out that goodbye can be so strange .

He took the certificate in his hand, shook hands politely, and let go.

What the host said next, Xia Qingning could no longer hear clearly, her head was buzzing, and her face was inexplicably hot, making her feel very uncomfortable.

After stepping off the stage, Xia Qingning felt more and more uncomfortable, and her feet felt a little light. She went straight to the dressing room, thinking of changing clothes quickly and leaving here immediately.

Xia Qingning came out of the changing room, almost startled by the person in front of her.

The middle-aged man just now was sitting on a chair with champagne in his hand, sipping it slowly. When he saw her coming out, he said with a smile,

"Miss Xia, have you changed your clothes? May I treat you to a meal then?"

"No need, I still have something to do, sir, let's find someone else!"

The man laughed, put down the cup in his hand, and walked towards Xia Qingning. Xia Qingning backed away warily holding her clothes. The man stared at her for a while, and finally said,

"It seems that Miss Xia is also a smart person. I have never been a forceful person, but today, I don't want to be so reasonable, so Miss Xia might as well make a price herself, how about it?"

Xia Qingning sneered, extremely angry, and looked at him mockingly,

"I said before, if you want to play, please find someone else!"

"Miss Xia, I asked you to set the price yourself. You still don't know what's good, maybe you want to..."

"Sir, I'm thinking too much. I still have something to do. Let's go first!"

Xia Qingning interrupted him in a hurry, trying to leave the door, but he grabbed his arm.

"open!"

Xia Qingning roared angrily.

"Miss Xia really doesn't give me face! I'm going to talk about it, but you don't want to, so I can only use a more direct method."

As he spoke, he pulled Xia Qingning into his arms, and the fresh and sweet scent immediately rushed over his face, making him feel even more intoxicated. He was going to get this woman.

Xia Qingning tried desperately to break free, but her strength was too weak to drag him, so she could only let him drag her forward.

"Qing Ning, have you changed your clothes yet, why haven't you come out yet?"

The two people who were entangled were taken aback at the same time, and they were all taken aback when they saw the person who suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Xia Qingning hasn't heard her call her by that name for a long time, so she froze on the spot and didn't make a sound, but the people around her recognized her.

"Miss Gu, why are you here?"

Looking at the woman beside him, he instantly understood.

Immediately, his face was full of smiles, and he immediately let go of Xia Qingning who was imprisoned in his arms. After saying that he still had something to do, he left in a hurry, leaving only them standing where they were.

Xia Qingning clenched her fist, then slowly let it go.

"Thank you."

Gu Qiao'an frowned and looked at her, Xia Qingning lowered her head, not daring to look at her, and finally turned and left.

Seeing that Gu Qiaoan had left, Xia Qingning also breathed a sigh of relief.

Back at Zhang Shaojun's house, it was already very late at night, Xia Qingning took a bath and lay comfortably on the bed, thinking of what happened during the ceremony, Xia Qingning didn't know how she felt, but felt empty in her heart, very uncomfortable feel good.

It was already late at night, and the city's feasting and debauchery slowly opened as night fell. Gu Qiaoan stood in the office on the top floor of the company, holding a glass of scarlet red wine, shaking it slightly, while staring out the window intently.

The faint sadness revealed in the eyes spread endlessly at this moment.

In the quiet office, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then the door was opened. Wang Xu walked in slowly, and nodded slightly to Gu Qiaoan who was standing by the window.

"Have you found it?"

Gu Qiaoan asked after hearing the sound.

"In Room 12, Huanyuan Villa Area, Qixia District."

Wang Xu replied in a deep voice, and then asked,

"If you want to go, I'll prepare a car for you."

"No need!"

Gu Qiaoan waved his hand.

Wang Xu lowered his head speechlessly again, not understanding what his young lady was thinking.

"One more thing, the investment of Wang's company will be stopped immediately."

"Ah? Miss, stopping their company's investment at this time will also have a great impact on us, and the project is already halfway through."

Wang Xu didn't understand why Miss Xia suddenly wanted to check Miss Xia's location after attending a banquet. After all, she had never mentioned it for so many years.

Moreover, the Wang family's investment must be withdrawn, which is unreasonable anyway.

"You can just do what I said. If you ask so many why, why don't you just ask my brother, he will answer you patiently!"

When Wang Xu heard the words, he didn't dare to say more.

How should I put it, since the relationship between the young lady and the young master got better, for some reason, he felt that the young lady was even more difficult to get close to.

Except in front of the young master, she still has a smiling face, as for the others, don't even think about it.

Moreover, the people in the company were almost afraid of her to death. They were even more terrifying than when the young master was in charge of the company.

After Wang Xu went out, Gu Qiaoan picked up the red wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp. Then she took the recording pen that had been lying quietly in the drawer, and gently stroked it, as if it was the most precious treasure in the world. My heart couldn't help but ache a little.
