C83 Canary in Cage
Ann Qianxi shivered from within her embrace, and the arm around her loosened slightly as well.
It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck her mind; her mind went blank for a moment.
She had never expected that the first thing Fang Xingjian would do under such circumstances wasn't to comfort her, but to say such a thing in peace.
For a moment, the atmosphere turned awkward. She knew that this question was merely a "I found it" or "I did not find it".
It was a simple sentence, but if he told Chi Shaojun the answer he didn't want to hear, then everything he did before would be a waste and he wouldn't be able to live a good life.
The key to this question was whether Chi Shaojun knew that they had met many times, so she kept looking around. Since she was going to die anyway, she decided to come up with a lie.
"I don't want to hide it from Director Chi, Lei Jia only treated me as a toy, I didn't want to see him again. "If I hadn't seen Director Chi and Chen Yao getting engaged, I wouldn't have abandoned myself like this."
When he heard the word "Lei Jia", he felt a surge of anger in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel sorry for the woman in front of him.
"Isn't it you who goes first with Lei Jia …" His words came to an abrupt end. Chi Shaojun didn't want to add anymore contradictions for the two of them. He fell into silence again and refused to say a word.
Ann Qianxi became fiercer and fiercer. After a while, Chi Shaojun forced a smile and carried the crying girl out of his arms. His warm fingers gently wiped away the tears on her face.
"Alright, as long as you obediently follow me in the future, I will take care of you two. I won't let you suffer grievances in vain." Chi Shaojun said.
Ann Qianxi nodded and pretended to be obedient.
However, this was not how she felt in her heart.
A long time ago, people would ask a question about what you would do if you laughed on a bike or cried in a BMW.
In her mind, Ann Qianxi was neither willing to be the caged canary on the BMW nor a girl on a bicycle. She wanted to take back everything she had.
"Do you agree?" Chi Shaojun felt it was hard to believe, this girl who always wanted to be like a rose, was as obedient as a sheep.
She lightly nodded her head and kept looking to the side, pretending to be extremely embarrassed.
A rare satisfied smile appeared on Chi Shaojun's face. Seeing that he was in such a good mood, Ann Qianxi actually didn't want to let him feel so comfortable, so she asked harshly.
"But if that's the case, what should I do with Chen Yao?"
"That's my problem, I don't need you to worry about it." Chi Shaojun ignored her provocation and said calmly.
His phone rang at an inopportune moment. He frowned slightly, wondering who was it that would call him at this moment.
"Hello?"
"Director Chi, aren't you being a little too hasty in your actions?" An impatient voice came from the other end of the phone. Clearly, Manager He had told him about the delay in getting drunk.
"Director Chi, with just a simple sentence, I don't know how much of my benefits will be lost." He said with a tough tone.
Wu Tie let out a long sigh. He had expected that Tang Mingcheng wouldn't be someone easy to deal with. Other things might be fine, but for merchants, benefits were their bottom line.
"Director Tang, I don't want to do this either. Everyone wants to earn money. However, there's really no other way to delay things. We can't just be frogs at the bottom of a well, and just look at the benefits we have right now. We should be safe. "
Everything he said was reasonable, but Tang Mingcheng couldn't be bothered to listen to any more of it. He was afraid that Chi Shaojun would say something big, so he hastily interrupted him: "I can't explain it clearly over the phone. No matter what, it's not a small matter.
Chi Shaojun was silent for a moment before agreeing. After they agreed on a place on the phone, Chi Shaojun stood up and was about to leave.
Before leaving, Chi Shaojun said to her, "I still have some things to do, so I have to leave the company for a bit. There's nothing much to do here right now, so you should go back and visit your child. "
As he spoke, he rearranged his high-ranking officer's belt, stood up, and left.
Ann Qianxi was the only one left in the office for a while. She cleaned up a bit, and just as she was about to leave, she thought about the intoxicating incident.
He finally got the chance to be alone in Chi Shaojun's office, but this place was very different from his home. The contract or other information office required for the office is the most comprehensive.
A doubt had been on her mind for a long time. She was very curious about the relationship between Chi Shaojun's company and Lee Xi's Heaven Beauty Trade.
She wanted to search Chi Shaojun's office, but it was too brazen, so she prepared to investigate from the phone records.
This way, not only would they be able to investigate Chi Shaojun's closest contact clearly, they would also be able to have a better understanding of intoxication without anyone noticing.
She skillfully took out the fixed line communication record and took out her phone, wanting to record the contact details.
However, at that moment, Ann Qianxi suddenly heard a series of small noises coming from the door.
Her heart started beating like crazy. After all, what she was doing now wasn't something that could be explained openly. No matter who saw it, it would be hard to explain.
What should he do?
It was not enough time for this person to open the door for him to hide somewhere else. It would be even harder to get close to the desk if he was seen.
In her mind, she quickly tried to filter out all the solutions before finally deciding to take the risk.
After all, the most dangerous place was the safest.
Her feet didn't leave the desk even half a step. Instead, she stretched out her slender, jade-like hands to rearrange the documents on it.
The door was opened with a creak. She did not dare to raise her head to look at him. After a few seconds of stalemate, the person who opened the door was the first to speak.
"What are you doing?" This was the voice that Ann Qianxi didn't want to hear the most. She awkwardly raised her head and forced herself to remain calm.
The person standing at the door was Chi Shaojun, who had a dark expression. His eyes were filled with confusion, doubt, and worry.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Ann Qianxi could even hear the heartbeats of the both of them.
