A charming and dangerous character

Although Zhou Wenbin started to go through the formalities in advance, when Qiu Chuyi and the others actually came out of the gate of the S City Police Station, it was already early in the morning.

The night is full of lights, and the light sources in all directions make it difficult to see the stars in the sky above.

"..." Zhou Wenbin let out a sigh of relief. The temperature outside is very low now. He saw the assistant who had been waiting in the lobby of the police station put on a thick coat for Qiu Chuyi, and then glanced at the time on the watch. He took out the car keys and asked, "Mr. Qiu, are you going home now? I'll drive you back."

Unexpectedly, Qiu Chuyi directly rejected his previous answer, shaking his head and refusing: "No, it's a bit late, Chuchu should have fallen asleep, I don't want to go back and disturb her."

Chu Chu is the daughter of Qiu Chuyi and Jiang Nanxi.

The seven or eight-year-old girl is just at the age when her body is snoozing, and Qiu Chuyi can immediately think of his cute little angel pouting, sleeping soundly under the warm quilt.

Just now the assistant reported that because he was not at home tonight, he temporarily found a reliable person to take care of Chu Chu - Qiu Chuyi didn't like someone to take care of him and his family's daily life, so he didn't find a servant at home, even if he was in the company I just hired this assistant to help.

At this time, Qiu Chuyi was wearing a coat and standing in the open space in front of the police station entrance. The air here was cold but refreshing, and his mind, which had been running at high speed, finally had a short rest.

He raised his head and looked at the bright and dark night sky. Zhou Wenbin and his assistant thought that Mr. Qiu was thinking and didn't dare to disturb him, but he said in a deep voice, "Let's go back to the company first."

The sudden departure in the afternoon delayed a lot of things. Qiu Chuyi remembered the unfinished meeting, and while walking to the parking lot with the two of them, he casually asked the assistant: "When did the afternoon meeting on pricing risk control help me postpone it?"

This female assistant, Sun Qian, who has fully grasped the boss's "workaholic" nature for three years, opened her half-closed eyes miraculously, and replied loudly, "I have arranged for you until the day after tomorrow. But it took up the meeting with the supplier that was originally scheduled, so I may have to help you make an appointment with the supplier on the night of the 18th..."

Although Sun Qian behaved naturally, Qiu Chuyi could still hear her deep sleepiness from her voice - not everyone is like him, who can go to work immediately after being released from the police station, his body is made of iron, and he doesn't know what rest is at all .

Notice how embarrassed Zhou Wenbin and Sun Qian are who want to yawn but dare not open their mouths, Qiu Chuyi said indifferently: "Okay. By the way, you have worked hard tonight. Go home and rest first. Later tomorrow." Time to come back to work."

"Mr. Qiu, it's fine, I'll see you off..."

"I don't need Boss, I can still accompany you to the company!"

However, in the next second, there were three sudden sounds from the parking lot, the sounds of cars unlocking from different directions—it seemed that they all chose to drive over to the police station by coincidence.

Attorney Zhou and Assistant Sun looked at Qiu Chuyi's dark red Mercedes in the middle of the parking lot, and looked at each other awkwardly.

You can't let Mr. Qiu's car just stop at the police station, can you?

So Qiu Chuyi made a final decision: "Just do as I said, you drive home to rest, and go to work later tomorrow."

Lawyer Zhou and Assistant Sun definitely didn't dare to leave first, so after Qiu Chuyi started the car, the two disappeared from the rearview mirror very quickly.And this burgundy Maybach, which seems to have a streamer on its surface, is like blood, quickly melting into the dark night that is about to dawn.

Shi Lili is a new employee recruited by Arrow Group this year.

She originally studied tourism management, but after graduating, she didn't find the kind of tour guide job that really tours without shopping, and has been unemployed at home.

But in the end, the newly emerging big group that rebounded into S City is also the domineering fate of three generations of ancestral graves.Although it was mainly due to the relationship with her cousin who worked in an international elementary school, Shi Lili herself cherished this hard-won opportunity very much.

As a newcomer, Shi Lili was the first person to enter the Arrow Building almost every day, even earlier than the cleaning aunt.

However, today it seems that something unexpected happened.

When Shi Lili opened the door as usual, she found that the dark room with the curtains drawn was now brightly lit like countless spotlights—dozens of light bulbs, large and small, had been lit on the first floor.

Shi Lili, who comes from a mountainous area, has experienced the scarcity of resources firsthand, and she hates this kind of wasteful behavior the most in her life.So she didn't even think about it, and immediately turned off the light.

While closing the switch to the middle position, Shi Lili suddenly felt a cold wind blowing behind her, but just as she turned her head, a figure suddenly appeared startled her, and she also screamed shortly: "Ah!"

After seeing the other party clearly, Shi Lili became angry with embarrassment, and Huang Erbai's skin suddenly darkened: "What are you doing? You scared me to death!" She stretched out her hand and punched the other party: "And why are you turning on so many lights? Do you know it's a waste!"

Because the clothes were too tight, Qian Xiang couldn't dodge it nimbly.She had no choice but to bear Shi Lili's "revenge", but she didn't seem to care at all, with a smile on her face, she asked happily: "Lili, do you think I'm dressed beautifully today?"

It was only then that Shi Lili noticed that Qian Xiang was wearing a set of clothes that didn't look like what she wore at work today.

The black hip-wrapped long dress that shows off the figure, the pointed high-heeled shoes on the feet, and a dazzling diamond necklace around the neck-this set fully shows the female curvy figure from head to toe.

The two of them work in clerical jobs, and they don't usually work or go on business trips. There is no chance to wear such bright clothes, so Shi Lili took it for granted: "Pretty. Qian Xiang, when did you find a boyfriend?"

In her opinion, the only one who can make Qian Xiang, whose eyes are above the top, dress so grandly is the perfect boyfriend she has been looking for for a long time.

"No, what are you talking about!" Qian Xiang felt like a rabbit whose tail had been stepped on when she heard this. She knew that Shi Lili had recently been lucky enough to find a boyfriend who was well-known in the news industry. Beloved, jump up immediately: "Since when did you have a boyfriend! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Then you are dressed so fancy today, is it to show off to the people in the office..." Shi Lili still felt that Qian Xiang would soon be single: "Improbable. We are all girls, not rich women. You Say, are you about to find a 'goal for getting out of the single'?"

Qian Xiang laughed: "You're really right, I really didn't wear it for you~ Didn't you notice that I came to the office very early today?"

In fact, Shi Lili was also very curious about who made Qian Xiang, who had always clocked in at the clock, come to the company ahead of time: "I found out—not only that, but you also violated state regulations and wasted power resources!"

"Go! How much electricity can the lights use for a while? Besides, how can I show such an extraordinary me today without such bright lights?" Qian Xiang felt very good about herself: "I am in a good mood today, so I won't be with you. Playing charades. In fact, I found out from others that an emergency meeting was held temporarily by the company's top management this morning..."

"Then what's your business? You are not a high-level executive, and you don't need to go to the meeting so early."

"I'm not a high-level family now..." Qian Xiang twisted his index finger around his hair coquettishly, and his voice sounded soft: "But that doesn't mean I won't be a high-level family member in the future~ Besides, I saw it when I came, Mr. Qiu A Maybach is parked in the underground garage!"

Shi Lili immediately figured out the cause and effect.She curled her lips: "Don't Mr. Qiu have a wife? Qian Xiang, you have a bottom line, okay..."

"What are you thinking! I'm so young and beautiful, so I don't want to be someone else's mistress!" Qian Xiang stretched out her hand and pressed Shi Lili's head heavily: "It seems that you still don't know the current situation. Death—" A strange smile suddenly appeared on her enchanting and charming face: "It seems that it is not a natural death."

"..."

Shi Lili reached out to touch Qian Xiang's forehead, then touched her own: "You don't have a fever either..."

She didn't know if what Qian Xiang said was true or not, after all, she happened to see Mr. Qiu in the elevator yesterday - he looked the same as usual, and he didn't see any sad expression on his face - as if nothing happened like.

But Shi Lili didn't say these words, she always felt that it seemed irresponsible to draw such conclusions to Mr. Qiu easily.

In fact, there were not many people in the elevator yesterday, and everyone probably didn't want to get too close to the boss, so there was a false impression of standing full of people.But Qiu Chuyi still moved back very gracefully to make way for Shi Lili, and this gentlemanly behavior also invisibly gained him a lot of goodwill.

Unexpectedly, Qian Xiang retorted: "It's true! My uncle is at the Public Security Bureau of our city. Mr. Qiu was called in yesterday. My uncle took a picture of me and asked if I was him!"

Shi Lili was still skeptical, but she still persuaded her with a warm heart: "All right, even if Mr. Qiu's wife dies, you have a chance, but I always feel that he won't find another one so soon...not to mention Mr. Qiu's daughter You are in primary school, if you marry, you will be a stepmother directly..."

Although Shi Lili has never been in contact with Qiu Chuyi, the primacy effect yesterday made her feel that Qiu is not a person who treats feelings so casually.Moreover, with pure feelings, she can't quite understand Qian Xiang's brain circuit: being a stepmother is more bullied, and it's better to have children by yourself, knowing the basics and caring for you.

However, Qian Xiang raised his arms and looked impatient to preach: "Forget it! What do you know, I won't tell you! People like you who have never had children will not understand!"

"It's great to have a ready-made child, so I won't get pregnant! Besides, don't you know that Mr. Qiu is going to go abroad soon? It's going to be more than a month!"

"Is it okay to just build a house without laying the foundation? I'm looking for an opportunity for our future relationship!" After finishing speaking, Qian Xiang pulled a pure white coat over his arm, as if planning to go for a walk.

I don't know what kind of luck I got today. When Qian Xiang was bored in the elevator, thinking hard about how to create an opportunity to meet, he unexpectedly ran into her in the elevator, just like her colleague, who was thinking about going downstairs. In general, Qiu Chuyi.

There were still not many people in the elevator, only a few senior managers squinting and yawning, so Qian Xiang walked to Qiu Chuyi's side smoothly.

"Autumn...It's always early." She heard her trembling voice greet the man behind her who couldn't be easily ignored.

As a result, the managers immediately cheered up and laughed teasingly, and Qian Xiang hurriedly added: "Manager Yang, Manager Hao, Manager Gao, you three are early too!"

"Hey, isn't this Qian Xiang from the Ministry of Manpower?"

"We came early because of the meeting, and you are indeed early enough!"

"Just say hello to Mr. Qiu, as expected, only handsome men can be seen in the eyes of beautiful women..."

This series of jokes made Qian Xiang's cheeks blush, and she couldn't help but lift up the white coat to half-cover it, and in this state, she was even more charming and charming like a blooming flower.

Qian Xiang deliberately showed her best left side face backwards, with a shy smile on her face: "The three managers, please don't make fun of me. It's rare to see your immediate boss. I was so nervous that I forgot to say hello to you."

It's just that Qiu Chuyi always showed that charming smile to his subordinates, but this time it didn't appear on that handsome face on time.

Qian Xiang, who didn't get any response, was feeling uneasy, and from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Mr. Qiu in the mirror who seemed to be staring at her intently—more precisely, he should be staring at the necklace around her neck intently.

Just when she was wondering what happened to Mr. Qiu today, and even boldly guessed whether he wanted this necklace, she might as well listen to him say coldly: "This necklace doesn't match your skirt very well, it will look better if you take it off."

Then, with a sound of "ding", after the elevator stopped on the sixth floor, Qiu Chuyi took the other three managers in a big stride, and also mercilessly disappeared in Qian Xiang's field of vision who hadn't recovered yet.

The three managers followed closely behind the Boss, tacitly found that the other's face was full of panic, none of them had ever seen Qiu Chuyi treat his employees so coldly - in his impression, he was always warm and polite .

Although all three of them saw the carefulness of this girl named Qian Xiang, but because of Qiu Chuyi's handsome appearance, she often heard the employees verbally joking "It would be great if Mrs. Qiu was my husband" like a star.But he has never lost face to his employees like he does today.

At this moment, the corridor on the sixth floor seemed to be longer than usual, as if it couldn't be finished. Everyone followed carefully and laboriously, so naturally they couldn't see the stern expression on Qiu Chuyi's face in front of him.

At this time, the corners of the mouth muscles were tense on that sharp-edged face, and the brows were tightly wrinkled together. Qiu Chuyi couldn't help thinking about the necklace just now over and over again.

There is not a single complete gemstone on the necklace, and all the broken diamonds are embedded in the middle like stars.

It is very similar to the gift with special meaning that he received a few years ago, and it is also in line with the "broken beauty" that someone once said.

Qiu Chuyi didn't realize that when he fell into that memory, every muscle in his body seemed to be tense, and even his body naturally showed an aggressive posture - very much like those ferocious beasts in the wild that are about to attack hunters. In the police station last night, he had never been so embarrassed.

The sound of people's footsteps in the corridor was repeated, and the bell in the square not far away rang seven times at the right time.

It was already seven o'clock in the morning.

The sunlight gradually moved into the corridor, and the influx of light made people feel slightly dazzling.

Qiu Chuyi, who forced herself to withdraw from the suffocating memories, finally shook her head with a smile, as if she wanted to throw the past and darkness into the corner.

As if walking in the golden ocean, the Ave Maria played in the nearby park also relieved muscle tension virtually.

He finally relaxed with all his body and mind, listening to the holy voice in his ears, and the God who never appeared in people's suffering seemed to stretch out his hands to him at this moment.

Facing the increasingly bright morning sun outside the window, Qiu Chuyi caught a glimpse of the seemingly lonely figure on the ground from his corner of the eye.

very nice.

He thought: Now, finally, I am alone.
