Aunt Qin save me [Rebirth]
Chapter 45
Dinner is at a high-end restaurant in Mengcheng, even if it is not a weekend, there are many customers.The melodious sound of the piano is just right as the background music, setting off the romantic and elegant atmosphere intoxicatingly.
The place was carefully selected by Zhuo Cheng, it was rare that Li Wan would agree to the appointment, and it was rare that he decided the place so easily.This made Zhuo Cheng feel a little unbelievable, and felt that he was back in college for a while.
At that time, he was short of money, and besides the necessary living expenses, he couldn't afford the extra dating expenses in love.But Li Wan never complained, never compared, and also carefully maintained his proud and sensitive self-esteem.
He made money as a tutor, and took her to eat snacks in the deep alley, and she also appreciated it.She also praised the cheap jewelry he bought her for the anniversary, and she didn't dislike it.Li Wan's fiery temper seems to be only for those who are not optimistic about them and taunt him.
However, he did not cherish such an excellent and perfect girlfriend.
How was he willing to let it go back then... Zhuo Cheng asked himself more than once during the countless long nights back in Mengcheng.But he knew that if he went back to the past and asked him to choose again, he would still choose to go abroad due to the circumstances at that time and his confidence in his own ability.
However, maybe he won't talk about breaking up, and would rather maintain this relationship in a foreign country.Because the more people he experienced, the more he felt that Li Wan was good.
According to the past habits, Zhuo Cheng ordered all the flavors that Li Wan liked.He was already tall and handsome, and now he was dressed in fancy clothes, and these years of hard work overseas had made him mature a lot.Compared with his college days, his comprehensive charm has risen sharply, and even young waiters are attracted by him.
Li Wan has been indifferent since seeing him, her attitude is indifferent, her responses are indifferent, and she almost avoids all eye contact.Zhuo Cheng could feel her avoidance, but it was much better than the first meeting.
He was happy in his heart, and his face became even more handsome.In such an environment, he can still attract the attention of many young women.
"You don't need to choose wine, I won't drink it." At the end of ordering, Li Wan stopped the final link.
"This store has a lot of limited edition wines, it would be a pity not to try them."
"do not drink."
Seeing Li Wan's insistence, Zhuo Cheng was not reluctant.After ordering two glasses of freshly squeezed juice, I returned the menu card to the waiter.
"Xiaowan, are you quit drinking now or are you unwilling to drink with me?"
Zhuo Cheng's voice is very gentle, different from the accommodating one in college, now he shows a kind of tolerance.
Because he felt that he was strong now, able to stand side by side with Li Wan, and he was no longer that phoenix man who climbed up to a rich girl in other people's mouth.
From the time Li Wan was seated until now, she always kept an attitude of staying out of the matter.She didn't care what place Zhuo Cheng chose or what meals he ordered, she just wanted to finish the chat quickly so that it could end as soon as possible.
Li Wan was already exhausted from working all day, and now she had to deal with this annoying person, Li Wan's heart was unavoidably heavy.She thought to herself, does this count as overtime?Speaking of overtime, it seemed that the team leader was still in the office when she left.Almost everyone is used to Lin Shuangzhi always being the last one.
In the past, there was Qin Qianrou who was on par with her, but recently Qin reporters have obviously started to reduce their overtime work, and only Team Leader Lin is the same as before.The real steel worker is Lin Shuangzhi.
Thinking of Lin Shuangzhi, soft lines appeared on Li Wan's face unconsciously, and there was a faint smile in her eyes.Zhuo Cheng had been paying attention to her all the time, so naturally he would not miss such a change.
He was a little displeased, Li Wan agreed to his invitation, but kept pulling away.He thought it was her high profile, but found that she seemed to be absent-minded all the time.
"Xiaowan, how is your work doing recently? I heard from Uncle Li that you are so busy that you rarely come home for dinner on time, which is not good for your health."
Li Wan was forced to retract her thoughts, and she was even more disgusted when she heard Zhuo Cheng's so-called caring words.
"This is the case in the news industry. Time is out of our control. Meals can be eaten later, but news can't be late, otherwise I will lose my job."
What Li Wan said was an understatement, but it is enough to explain the hard work and involuntary work.
Zhuo Cheng stared deeply at Li Wan with distressed eyes.Although there was no response, it did not hinder his statement.
"Actually, you have worked for many years. Why are you so tired these years. Why don't you think about it, resign or change jobs?"
Li Wan frowned and looked at him sideways: "Resign? After resigning, go home and eat the old man?"
Her joking tone was full of sarcasm and disdain.She is so young, has hands and feet, has ideals and pursuits, and has like-minded friends side by side. Why did she resign?
"As long as you want, I can take care of you, and I am willing to give you all the money I earn. You don't need to be old, you can still maintain your current standard of living, or even higher."
Although Li's father is the deputy mayor, his area of charge is not finance or industry, and he is upright, so his income is not particularly rich.Most of the Li family's current property is actually the dowry of Li's mother, and the only daughter of the rich family inherited most of the family's inheritance.
"Zhuo Cheng, I hope you make it clear. I agreed to have dinner with you today, just to ease the embarrassing relationship between us, and I don't want to embarrass Dad. But our relationship is nothing more than that. As for the care you said, Give me the money, these are beyond the limit. You are an adult, what to say and what not to say, you should have a sense of proportion."
Li Wan's tone was steady, but her speech was fast.Zhuo Cheng understood her, in fact, this was the precursor of faint anger.
She used to do this in college, but at that time she did it to protect him.
He was a little bitter, but he still held on.
"I made a slip of the tongue. I didn't mean to force you. I just wanted to express my inner thoughts. As long as you want, what I just said can be fulfilled at any time."
Li Wan raised her hand irritably: "That's enough, if you keep talking like this, then there's no need for this meal."
"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore. The steak here is very famous, even better than the one last time. I only found out after I came back."
Zhuo Cheng has no special pursuit of food, Li Wan does not deny his intentions, but things are different from people.It didn't feel right, and anything the man did would just make her feel sick.
"It was recommended to me by my boss. He is half a Montrealer."
Li Wan was originally in a bit of a slump, but when he heard him mention Shao Qidong on his own initiative, he suddenly regained his energy.It was inevitable that he saw the flaw, so he had no choice but to suppress his excitement and pretend to be inadvertent.
"I heard that you are a senior recruiting talent, why did you think of going to Dongsheng? I think there must be many companies that have offered you an olive branch."
Dongsheng is indeed very good in Mengcheng, but it is not the only one.It's rich, but otherwise seems weak.As an expert in the financial field, Zhuo Cheng can definitely go to a more suitable place.
"Because Dongsheng gave me the most generous conditions and the most room for me to develop." Zhuo Cheng spread out the tablecloth and put it on his lap, "You also know me, the most fearful thing about me is that I will not see hope."
Li Wan pursed her lips, and after thinking for a while, she asked again: "Your salary abroad is not low, and you are willing to give up everything to come back after staying here for so long. It seems that Dongsheng is really willing to spend money. Can you tell me how much it is so that I can also pay for it?" Are you shocked?"
Zhuo Cheng didn't become suspicious, but rather pleased that she asked this question.
"The annual salary is three times that of mine abroad, and there are options. More importantly, it allows me to quickly take root in Montreal."
Living overseas, so what about the high salary, I am not a foreigner from outside.The race and skin color are different, and they are always floating.But Mengcheng is different. There are his good memories and people he cares about here.
"I originally thought you would be the chief financial officer of Dongsheng, but your name has hardly appeared officially on the group website. Your boss spent so much money to invite you back, so why not just give you a idle job?"
The steak had already been served, Zhuo Cheng picked up the knife and fork, and slowly cut it.
"I didn't expect you to pay attention to this. I thought you never cared about my movements."
Probably because of the smooth sailing these years, and the fact that there are always women who take the initiative to deliver, Zhuo Cheng has formed a subconscious mind that others are always paying attention to him.
Li Wan rolled her eyes in her heart, trying to keep calm on her face.
She lowered her head and cut the steak.The smooth forehead, jet-black hair, elegant yet sexy posture, and the smell of perfume all attracted Zhuo Cheng.
She is still so beautiful, even more beautiful than before.
Zhuo Cheng's heart fluttered even more, and he gradually let go of his guard.
Seeing that Li Wan didn't answer, he was afraid that the topic that had finally been discussed would be interrupted, so he took the initiative to explain: "Dongsheng is preparing for a new branch company, and a large number of new businesses will be transferred there. I am mainly responsible for that aspect."
"New company? I've never heard of such a big move."
"It's still in the preparation stage, and it hasn't been officially announced. And it involves cooperation with overseas, so I'm more cautious." After speaking, Zhuo Cheng smiled at her, "Xiaowan, what I told you is terrible. It’s all a trade secret, you wouldn’t turn around and spread it in the news, would you?”
Having said that, I can't hear the slightest worry.Li Wan was unhappy, and glared at him: "Why, question my professional ethics or my character?"
"I absolutely trust you."
What Li Wan thought in her heart was, what is the purpose of Shao Qidong secretly preparing the new company?He wants to expand overseas business?Dongsheng owns many self-developed technology patents, and these patents have received a lot of government financial support during the research and development process.
If he wants to sell these patents abroad, wouldn't it be...
"Xiao Wan, why don't you eat? Is it not to your liking?"
"No, I'm thinking about something. The things are good, and your boss's taste is not bad."
"He is a loner, so he has done some research in these areas."
It seems that he is not happy to hear Li Wan praise others, Zhuo Cheng's words are slightly sour.
Could it be that Li Wan didn't see what he was thinking, and took the opportunity to say, "He probably has too much ambition and only wants to be a rich businessman. If you follow him for a long time, maybe you will become like that."
"Absolutely not. I'm not an ascetic. And although this project is large in scale, it was prepared very quickly. I don't plan to follow him all the time."
Li Wan raised her eyes and glanced at him. It seemed that Shao Qidong was a little anxious about overseas cooperation.
Tonight's goal has almost been achieved, and if we talk any further, I'm afraid it will arouse Zhuo Cheng's suspicion.She knew him well, so she knew at what point she should stop.
So he put down the knife and fork, wiped his mouth, and took only two or three sips of juice.
Zhuo Cheng was stunned, the knife and fork in his hand was still in the air: "Are you full?"
Li Wan put the tablecloth back on the table, and smiled brightly: "Suddenly remembered that there is still something to be done at the stage, so I have to rush back."
About to get rid of the annoying spirit, this smile is rare and true.
Zhuo Cheng's heart melted when he saw it, he quickly put down the knife and fork, and wanted to see her off.
"Enjoy the delicious food and don't waste your boss's recommendation. I can call a car myself, the time is still there, it's safe."
Zhuo Cheng watched her go helplessly, and felt disappointed when he saw her disappear.
They had a good chat just now, and he thought that tonight would not end so early.He was even planning to invite him to the next date, but he didn't expect Li Wan to leave immediately.
The work of the TV station is really squeezing people.How could Xiao Wan bear it if this went on like this.
Zhuo Cheng thought wildly, feeling a little bored.Yang hand ordered a bottle of red wine, opened it sullenly, and drank one after another.

When Qin Qianrou came to ask Lin Shuangzhi for leave the next day, Li Wan happened to be in the team leader's office.This is also a common thing in normal times. As an executive editor, it is normal work to communicate with the team leader about project approval and program progress.
However, Qin Qianrou felt that the atmosphere in the office today was not right.Neither of them seemed to take the initiative to talk, and the content of the chat was entirely about work, not even a word of gossip.
Although the team leader is not as cheerful as Li Wan and loves to make jokes, when Xiao Wan jokes, she never stops her, and she laughs along with her, which is quite flattering.
what is it today……
Suppressing her doubts, Qin Qianrou explained the reason for her visit.Lin Shuangzhi took the leave application she handed over and looked at it for a while.
"Are you going to Haicheng on vacation?"
"Yes, a private matter."
Qin Qianrou specifically emphasized that it was a private matter, because she was afraid that the team leader would misunderstand that she was still going to investigate He Zhuo's affairs.
"The rest of your vacation is completely enough. I'm just asking a question as usual, don't blame me for being nosy." One of Lin Shuang heard her say that it was a private matter, so she didn't ask any more questions, and signed it neatly.
"Recently, things in the station are a bit complicated. You have to hand over before you go on vacation. Also, you can't turn off your mobile phone during the vacation, and you have to keep the communication smooth. These are the rules in the station. Don't think I'm long-winded."
Probably Qin Qianrou hadn't asked for leave for personal reasons for too long. When Lin Shuangzhi returned the application to her, he couldn't help repeating the precautions for taking the leave.
"I know, thank you team leader. Then I'll go out first."
Li Wan didn't interrupt the whole time, she was terribly silent.Qin Qianrou looked at her suspiciously before turning around, but it was inconvenient to ask her in front of the team leader.
Li Wan stood up: "I'll go first too, let's just leave it at that for the time being."
Then, she quickly followed Qin Qianrou and walked out of the office with her.
Behind him came Lin Shuangzhi's low sigh.
Back in Qin Qianrou's office, Li Wan's mood didn't improve, but she talked a little more than before.
"Xiao Wan, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, it's still the same."
"Yes, I think you look very unhappy."
Li Wan was startled: "Is it so obvious?"
Qin Qianrou pursed her lips and nodded, looking at her with a slight smile.
Li Wan bit her lip, and the anger deepened in her heart: "I'm so obvious, she can't even see it!"
Really mad!Mad!
Qin Qianrou couldn't understand her friend's emotions more and more, but Li Wan's appearance was obviously different from usual.
"Could it be that something went wrong with your date last night?"
last night's date?
Li Wan's face was full of question marks: "Who told you?"
Qin Qianrou had no intention of betraying her colleagues, so she had to cast a look outside: "Yesterday someone saw you getting into a luxury car, and said that a handsome guy came to pick you up. I'm also curious, and it's okay if you don't want to say it."
"It's enough gossip. It would be a waste if our team didn't change its name to the Make-up News Production Team." Li Wan sighed heavily, "I had a meal with Zhuo Cheng last night, and got a little bit of Dong Sheng's recent situation. No Thinking of being in the group, it turned into a date."
Li Wan almost vomited, and Qin Qianrou cast a sympathetic look.
None of them are willing to pretend to be snakes, let alone flatter others.In order to inquire about Dong Sheng's news, going to have dinner with Zhuo Cheng was enough to make Li Wan feel awkward, and Qin Qianrou would never make fun of it.
"By the way, why do you suddenly want to ask for leave? Is there something at home?"
Upon hearing that Qin Qianrou was going back to Haicheng, Li Wan also became curious.
For so many years, Qin Qianrou took the initiative to go back very rarely.
"It's fine at home. It's He Zhuo's case that's about to go to court."
Li Wan didn't expect that Qin Qianrou was really after He Zhuo, but after thinking about it, since it was a private matter, then she had no personal relationship with He Zhuo.
"Did you accompany the children there?"
"She said she wanted to attend the audition, and I happened to be a little interested, so I just came along."
Oh, exactly or whatever, by the way, it doesn't matter.What matters is the latter one together.Li Wan quickly grasped the important point: they are going back to Haicheng together.
"You are so kind to the child. You don't hesitate to go back to Haicheng for her. If your family knows, you will definitely be jealous."
Qin Qianrou looked at her helplessly: "I was wronged by the team leader, so you come to make fun of me?"
Li Wan's expression froze: "Don't dare, dare not, how dare I make fun of you. I just think that since you are not so resistant to going back to Haicheng, you might as well take advantage of this time to go back and ease the relationship with your family."
Qin Qianrou did not deliberately ignore this topic as before, but was thoughtful.
"discuss later."
**
It was one afternoon when Wen Yirong received a call from her daughter.She was just about to go out for afternoon tea with her friends.As soon as she heard that Qianrou had arrived in Haicheng, she quickly postponed the appointment.
"Xiaorou, be so good this time, call mom as soon as you arrive."
Qin Qianrou could tell that the mother on the other end of the phone was actually very happy.
"Well, but this time I still can't go back to live for the time being, so I say hello to you."
"Can't come back yet? Why?" Wen Yirong was stunned for a moment, then said, "Bring someone back again?"
Qin Qianrou glanced at the person sitting next to him drinking a drink, and hummed to the phone.
"Or the kid from last time?"
"Yes. I'll come with her to listen to He Zhuo's case, and we won't stay for long."
Wen Yirong's mood gradually calmed down, and Qin Qianrou could imagine the disappointment on her mother's face.
She trembled in her heart, and said hesitantly: "However, we can make an appointment to have dinner. If the time is right, we can also call my little uncle and at least some."
"Okay!" Wen Yirong didn't seem to expect her daughter to be so active, and suddenly became happy again.
But she quickly realized: "Did you see them last time you came back?"
"Well, I ran into it by chance on the road."
Wen Yirong didn't say anything, and sighed inaudibly: "It's okay, anyway, your father is busy, and you will arrive as soon as the front foot leaves, and you can't always meet. Let's get together first, and there will be opportunities in the future."
Qin Qianrou had already reported to her mother, and was about to hang up the phone when Wen Yirong suddenly said: "Remember to bring that child and come together."
Qin Qianrou was a little hesitant, this was a dinner party with her family, would Shen Yiqiu feel uncomfortable?
"I'll ask her opinion then."
Wen Yirong now pays more attention to Shen Yiqiu than to her daughter, and she actually made Qianrou come to Haicheng several times for her.Just now he even said that he wanted to ask her opinion, isn't it just a meal, as for it?
Qianrou cared so much about a person, and this caring was so delicate and silent, hidden in inconspicuous details, which made Wen Yirong feel very unusual.
The two reached an agreement on the way here to stay in the same hotel as last time.Probably they are people who don't like change. Once they are familiar with a place, they don't want to change it again.
Apart from observing He Zhuo's trial when he returned to Haicheng this time, Shen Yiqiu actually had other things to deal with.The traffic police had already contacted her, saying that there had been a major breakthrough in her parents' case.
The clues were limited but the Skynet was restored. Chen Kang told her excitedly that the mastermind behind the scenes had been arrested!And they couldn't stand the interrogation, and they all confessed.
The whole case came to light. The Shen couple died in a man-made car accident, and the murderer has been arrested and brought to justice.
Everything seemed to be over, but Shen Yiqiu knew that the so-called mastermind behind the scenes was just a shield thrown by Shao Qidong.He was worried that if he was investigated further, he would be found on him, so he simply found a scapegoat and carried everything down.
Now everyone thinks that her parents were killed by that person, and all the evidence points to him.Only Shen Yiqiu never forgot that the real black hand is Shao Qidong.
In any case, the temporarily frozen assets under Shen Zhifeng's name were unsealed, and Shen Yiqiu's name was legitimately inherited.This time I came back to go through the inheritance formalities.
When Gu Chao and the others heard that they were coming, they politely said that they were responsible for all the reception, but Shen Yiqiu smiled and refused, and asked Senior Zhang Meng to help persuade them.
"They are so enthusiastic that I dare not tell them in the future."
Shen Yiqiu grinned helplessly, she was always at a loss for overly enthusiastic overtures.
After completing the check-in procedures, Qin Qianrou and the others lived in the same room as last time.High-end hotels always pay attention to the habits and preferences of their guests. It happened that the last room was still vacant, so they arranged it for them.
"They are all pure and grateful people, although I can't quite adapt to such enthusiasm." Qin Qianrou was packing her luggage, and she had a deep understanding of Shen Yiqiu's words.
"Sister, what kind of repayment method do you like?"
"Me? I don't need to repay the favor, and I don't do those things for the reward of others."
Shen Yiqiu thought about it, and always felt that he didn't ask the right way.
"I mean, if someone wants to treat you well, do you think it's for gratitude or for other reasons?"
Qin Qianrou didn't seem to have considered this issue, she stopped and thought about it seriously.
"It depends on the situation, it depends on who it is."
Look at people... Shen Yiqiu pondered over these words, and didn't know what to ask next.
"Don't be in a daze, pack up quickly."
In the afternoon, they had to go to see the person in charge of the inheritance procedures. Shen Yiqiu really couldn't handle it well by herself. Qin Qianrou accompanied her here because of this.
The author has something to say: surprises always come too fast, like a tornado: just after the interview, I will be notified to go to work, so starting tomorrow I will be a hard worker again
Please bless me, I don't want to become such a pitiful fellow as Team Leader Lin!
The place was carefully selected by Zhuo Cheng, it was rare that Li Wan would agree to the appointment, and it was rare that he decided the place so easily.This made Zhuo Cheng feel a little unbelievable, and felt that he was back in college for a while.
At that time, he was short of money, and besides the necessary living expenses, he couldn't afford the extra dating expenses in love.But Li Wan never complained, never compared, and also carefully maintained his proud and sensitive self-esteem.

Zhuo Cheng's heart fluttered even more, and he gradually let go of his guard.
Seeing that Li Wan didn't answer, he was afraid that the topic that had finally been discussed would be interrupted, so he took the initiative to explain: "Dongsheng is preparing for a new branch company, and a large number of new businesses will be transferred there. I am mainly responsible for that aspect."
"New company? I've never heard of such a big move."
"It's still in the preparation stage, and it hasn't been officially announced. And it involves cooperation with overseas, so I'm more cautious." After speaking, Zhuo Cheng smiled at her, "Xiaowan, what I told you is terrible. It’s all a trade secret, you wouldn’t turn around and spread it in the news, would you?”
Having said that, I can't hear the slightest worry.Li Wan was unhappy, and glared at him: "Why, question my professional ethics or my character?"
"I absolutely trust you."
What Li Wan thought in her heart was, what is the purpose of Shao Qidong secretly preparing the new company?He wants to expand overseas business?Dongsheng owns many self-developed technology patents, and these patents have received a lot of government financial support during the research and development process.
If he wants to sell these patents abroad, wouldn't it be...
"Xiao Wan, why don't you eat? Is it not to your liking?"
"No, I'm thinking about something. The things are good, and your boss's taste is not bad."
"He is a loner, so he has done some research in these areas."
It seems that he is not happy to hear Li Wan praise others, Zhuo Cheng's words are slightly sour.
Could it be that Li Wan didn't see what he was thinking, and took the opportunity to say, "He probably has too much ambition and only wants to be a rich businessman. If you follow him for a long time, maybe you will become like that."
"Absolutely not. I'm not an ascetic. And although this project is large in scale, it was prepared very quickly. I don't plan to follow him all the time."
Li Wan raised her eyes and glanced at him. It seemed that Shao Qidong was a little anxious about overseas cooperation.
Tonight's goal has almost been achieved, and if we talk any further, I'm afraid it will arouse Zhuo Cheng's suspicion.She knew him well, so she knew at what point she should stop.
So he put down the knife and fork, wiped his mouth, and took only two or three sips of juice.
Zhuo Cheng was stunned, the knife and fork in his hand was still in the air: "Are you full?"
Li Wan put the tablecloth back on the table, and smiled brightly: "Suddenly remembered that there is still something to be done at the stage, so I have to rush back."
About to get rid of the annoying spirit, this smile is rare and true.
Zhuo Cheng's heart melted when he saw it, he quickly put down the knife and fork, and wanted to see her off.
"Enjoy the delicious food and don't waste your boss's recommendation. I can call a car myself, the time is still there, it's safe."
Zhuo Cheng watched her go helplessly, and felt disappointed when he saw her disappear.
They had a good chat just now, and he thought that tonight would not end so early.He was even planning to invite him to the next date, but he didn't expect Li Wan to leave immediately.
The work of the TV station is really squeezing people.How could Xiao Wan bear it if this went on like this.
Zhuo Cheng thought wildly, feeling a little bored.Yang hand ordered a bottle of red wine, opened it sullenly, and drank one after another.

When Qin Qianrou came to ask Lin Shuangzhi for leave the next day, Li Wan happened to be in the team leader's office.This is also a common thing in normal times. As an executive editor, it is normal work to communicate with the team leader about project approval and program progress.
However, Qin Qianrou felt that the atmosphere in the office today was not right.Neither of them seemed to take the initiative to talk, and the content of the chat was entirely about work, not even a word of gossip.
Although the team leader is not as cheerful as Li Wan and loves to make jokes, when Xiao Wan jokes, she never stops her, and she laughs along with her, which is quite flattering.
what is it today……
Suppressing her doubts, Qin Qianrou explained the reason for her visit.Lin Shuangzhi took the leave application she handed over and looked at it for a while.
"Are you going to Haicheng on vacation?"
"Yes, a private matter."
Qin Qianrou specifically emphasized that it was a private matter, because she was afraid that the team leader would misunderstand that she was still going to investigate He Zhuo's affairs.
"The rest of your vacation is completely enough. I'm just asking a question as usual, don't blame me for being nosy." One of Lin Shuang heard her say that it was a private matter, so she didn't ask any more questions, and signed it neatly.
"Recently, things in the station are a bit complicated. You have to hand over before you go on vacation. Also, you can't turn off your mobile phone during the vacation, and you have to keep the communication smooth. These are the rules in the station. Don't think I'm long-winded."
Probably Qin Qianrou hadn't asked for leave for personal reasons for too long. When Lin Shuangzhi returned the application to her, he couldn't help repeating the precautions for taking the leave.
"I know, thank you team leader. Then I'll go out first."
Li Wan didn't interrupt the whole time, she was terribly silent.Qin Qianrou looked at her suspiciously before turning around, but it was inconvenient to ask her in front of the team leader.
Li Wan stood up: "I'll go first too, let's just leave it at that for the time being."
Then, she quickly followed Qin Qianrou and walked out of the office with her.
Behind him came Lin Shuangzhi's low sigh.
Back in Qin Qianrou's office, Li Wan's mood didn't improve, but she talked a little more than before.
"Xiao Wan, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, it's still the same."
"Yes, I think you look very unhappy."
Li Wan was startled: "Is it so obvious?"
Qin Qianrou pursed her lips and nodded, looking at her with a slight smile.
Li Wan bit her lip, and the anger deepened in her heart: "I'm so obvious, she can't even see it!"
Really mad!Mad!
Qin Qianrou couldn't understand her friend's emotions more and more, but Li Wan's appearance was obviously different from usual.
"Could it be that something went wrong with your date last night?"
last night's date?
Li Wan's face was full of question marks: "Who told you?"
Qin Qianrou had no intention of betraying her colleagues, so she had to cast a look outside: "Yesterday someone saw you getting into a luxury car, and said that a handsome guy came to pick you up. I'm also curious, and it's okay if you don't want to say it."
"It's enough gossip. It would be a waste if our team didn't change its name to the Make-up News Production Team." Li Wan sighed heavily, "I had a meal with Zhuo Cheng last night, and got a little bit of Dong Sheng's recent situation. No Thinking of being in the group, it turned into a date."
Li Wan almost vomited, and Qin Qianrou cast a sympathetic look.
None of them are willing to pretend to be snakes, let alone flatter others.In order to inquire about Dong Sheng's news, going to have dinner with Zhuo Cheng was enough to make Li Wan feel awkward, and Qin Qianrou would never make fun of it.
"By the way, why do you suddenly want to ask for leave? Is there something at home?"
Upon hearing that Qin Qianrou was going back to Haicheng, Li Wan also became curious.
For so many years, Qin Qianrou took the initiative to go back very rarely.
"It's fine at home. It's He Zhuo's case that's about to go to court."
Li Wan didn't expect that Qin Qianrou was really after He Zhuo, but after thinking about it, since it was a private matter, then she had no personal relationship with He Zhuo.
"Did you accompany the children there?"
"She said she wanted to attend the audition, and I happened to be a little interested, so I just came along."
Oh, exactly or whatever, by the way, it doesn't matter.What matters is the latter one together.Li Wan quickly grasped the important point: they are going back to Haicheng together.
"You are so kind to the child. You don't hesitate to go back to Haicheng for her. If your family knows, you will definitely be jealous."
Qin Qianrou looked at her helplessly: "I was wronged by the team leader, so you come to make fun of me?"
Li Wan's expression froze: "Don't dare, dare not, how dare I make fun of you. I just think that since you are not so resistant to going back to Haicheng, you might as well take advantage of this time to go back and ease the relationship with your family."
Qin Qianrou did not deliberately ignore this topic as before, but was thoughtful.
"discuss later."
**
It was one afternoon when Wen Yirong received a call from her daughter.She was just about to go out for afternoon tea with her friends.As soon as she heard that Qianrou had arrived in Haicheng, she quickly postponed the appointment.
"Xiaorou, be so good this time, call mom as soon as you arrive."
Qin Qianrou could tell that the mother on the other end of the phone was actually very happy.
"Well, but this time I still can't go back to live for the time being, so I say hello to you."
"Can't come back yet? Why?" Wen Yirong was stunned for a moment, then said, "Bring someone back again?"
Qin Qianrou glanced at the person sitting next to him drinking a drink, and hummed to the phone.
"Or the kid from last time?"
"Yes. I'll come with her to listen to He Zhuo's case, and we won't stay for long."
Wen Yirong's mood gradually calmed down, and Qin Qianrou could imagine the disappointment on her mother's face.
She trembled in her heart, and said hesitantly: "However, we can make an appointment to have dinner. If the time is right, we can also call my little uncle and at least some."
"Okay!" Wen Yirong didn't seem to expect her daughter to be so active, and suddenly became happy again.
But she quickly realized: "Did you see them last time you came back?"
"Well, I ran into it by chance on the road."
Wen Yirong didn't say anything, and sighed inaudibly: "It's okay, anyway, your father is busy, and you will arrive as soon as the front foot leaves, and you can't always meet. Let's get together first, and there will be opportunities in the future."
Qin Qianrou had already reported to her mother, and was about to hang up the phone when Wen Yirong suddenly said: "Remember to bring that child and come together."
Qin Qianrou was a little hesitant, this was a dinner party with her family, would Shen Yiqiu feel uncomfortable?
"I'll ask her opinion then."
Wen Yirong now pays more attention to Shen Yiqiu than to her daughter, and she actually made Qianrou come to Haicheng several times for her.Just now he even said that he wanted to ask her opinion, isn't it just a meal, as for it?
Qianrou cared so much about a person, and this caring was so delicate and silent, hidden in inconspicuous details, which made Wen Yirong feel very unusual.
The two reached an agreement on the way here to stay in the same hotel as last time.Probably they are people who don't like change. Once they are familiar with a place, they don't want to change it again.
Apart from observing He Zhuo's trial when he returned to Haicheng this time, Shen Yiqiu actually had other things to deal with.The traffic police had already contacted her, saying that there had been a major breakthrough in her parents' case.
The clues were limited but the Skynet was restored. Chen Kang told her excitedly that the mastermind behind the scenes had been arrested!And they couldn't stand the interrogation, and they all confessed.
The whole case came to light. The Shen couple died in a man-made car accident, and the murderer has been arrested and brought to justice.
Everything seemed to be over, but Shen Yiqiu knew that the so-called mastermind behind the scenes was just a shield thrown by Shao Qidong.He was worried that if he was investigated further, he would be found on him, so he simply found a scapegoat and carried everything down.
Now everyone thinks that her parents were killed by that person, and all the evidence points to him.Only Shen Yiqiu never forgot that the real black hand is Shao Qidong.
In any case, the temporarily frozen assets under Shen Zhifeng's name were unsealed, and Shen Yiqiu's name was legitimately inherited.This time I came back to go through the inheritance formalities.
When Gu Chao and the others heard that they were coming, they politely said that they were responsible for all the reception, but Shen Yiqiu smiled and refused, and asked Senior Zhang Meng to help persuade them.
"They are so enthusiastic that I dare not tell them in the future."
Shen Yiqiu grinned helplessly, she was always at a loss for overly enthusiastic overtures.
After completing the check-in procedures, Qin Qianrou and the others lived in the same room as last time.High-end hotels always pay attention to the habits and preferences of their guests. It happened that the last room was still vacant, so they arranged it for them.
"They are all pure and grateful people, although I can't quite adapt to such enthusiasm." Qin Qianrou was packing her luggage, and she had a deep understanding of Shen Yiqiu's words.
"Sister, what kind of repayment method do you like?"
"Me? I don't need to repay the favor, and I don't do those things for the reward of others."
Shen Yiqiu thought about it, and always felt that he didn't ask the right way.
"I mean, if someone wants to treat you well, do you think it's for gratitude or for other reasons?"
Qin Qianrou didn't seem to have considered this issue, she stopped and thought about it seriously.
"It depends on the situation, it depends on who it is."
Look at people... Shen Yiqiu pondered over these words, and didn't know what to ask next.
"Don't be in a daze, pack up quickly."
In the afternoon, they had to go to see the person in charge of the inheritance procedures. Shen Yiqiu really couldn't handle it well by herself. Qin Qianrou accompanied her here because of this.
The author has something to say: surprises always come too fast, like a tornado: just after the interview, I will be notified to go to work, so starting tomorrow I will be a hard worker again
Please bless me, I don't want to become such a pitiful fellow as Team Leader Lin!
