C99 Retreat as a Way Forward

Ever since she came out of the Di Hao nightclub that night, Ann Qianxi had made up her mind not to tell anyone that she had the fruit wine.

"Boss Li, what do you think caused Lee Fengyun to become addicted to fruit wine?"

"How should I know? If Miss Ann wants such an answer, she might as well go and find Lee Fengyun instead of me. " Lee Xi said with a fake smile.

"Is this a reaction everyone has? After drinking this fruit wine, I will also develop a thirst condition, but fortunately, I am able to endure it. " Ann Qianxi said casually.

However, when Lee Xi heard this, the impatient expression on her face instantly disappeared. Instead, she had changed to an expectant expression, wanting Ann Qianxi to continue speaking.

Ann Qianxi's heart froze for a moment. She quickly realized that she had said something wrong.

Based on the current situation, they already knew that the fruit wine would cause side effects such as addiction. However, for businessmen, there was nothing that they couldn't do for the sake of benefits.

After all, the side effects of the fruit wine were nothing more than addiction. Even if he drank it, he wouldn't die.

Regardless of whether it was Tang Mingcheng or Lee Xi's Sky Beauty Trading Company, they would surely cover up the truth.

"Boss Li, you know it too, I've long since finished all the wine in my hand, and the last bit was taken away by Master Hua. Can you give me some more? It's not a problem for me to spend money to buy some." She pretended to be greedy in order to distract him from what she had just said.

"This …" Lee Xi was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Miss Ann to say this. "It's not that I don't want to give it to Miss Ann, but this fruit wine isn't served now. Even if Miss Ann wants to drink it, she'll have to wait for a while."

"How long is a period of time?" Ann Qianxi collapsed onto a chair. Her eyes looked somewhat empty. As she pretended to desire the fruit wine, she licked her somewhat dry lips.

"The exact time has not been set yet, but as soon as the fruit wine is out, I will definitely give you a portion as soon as possible."

"Heh." Ann Qianxi sneered in her heart. She felt that this woman was indeed young enough to be the CEO of a company. She was not only tactful, but also extremely sincere in her speech.

If not for that night, she would have believed his words now.

"I went to the rehab center today," seeing that there was no need to continue the previous topic, Ann Qianxi instead shifted the topic to Lee Fengyun: "I originally wanted to see how Lee Fengyun was doing, but I didn't expect the staff to tell me that he had been taken away by his family."

"Did his family take him away?" Lee Xi had an exaggerated expression on her face. "No way?" I've been with him for so long, but I've never heard that he still has a family in this city. "

Ann Qianxi also shook her head, indicating that she wasn't sure.

However, Lee Xi's behavior was really abnormal. She was completely different from the usual her.

Ann Qianxi felt that she was putting on an act too deliberately, but wasn't she also putting on an act?

He didn't want to expose Lee Xi's situation and didn't want to stay any longer either.

"Director Li, I'm really sorry for bothering you today. I still have some matters to take care of. If there's any new news, I will come back to find you."

Ann Qianxi said indifferently. She stood up and left Lee Xi's office.

Lee Xi's brows creased as she watched the other party's retreating back. Her fingers drummed restlessly on the table, feeling that the other party was acting a little strange.

"Xiao Xiao?" Lee Xi called out towards the door.

"What happened to Director Li?" Xiao Xiao put down her chores and walked in.

"When did Miss Ann come? Did she do something strange?"

"Strange?" Xiao Xiao frowned as she thought about it, "I was going to deliver the documents to other departments when I met Miss Ann in the corridor. Maybe I didn't make too much noise when I walked, but she gave me a fright."

"And then she called me?" Hearing this, Lee Xi's heart was somewhat at ease.

"Yes." Xiao Xiao nodded as she replied.

"Alright, there's nothing else. You can leave now." As Lee Xi spoke, she turned on the computer in front of her and called out the company's monitor.

From the surveillance footage, Ann Qianxi had wanted to walk into the office by herself, but she was bumped into by the passing Xiao Xiao.

It wasn't hard for her to see the expression on his face. It was obvious that he was looking for something.

What did Ann Qianxi want with her, but she couldn't say it directly? Lee Xi frowned, puzzled. She thought for a long time, but still couldn't get a definite answer.

However, the other party's actions were a little strange. It was best to act with caution before making sense of the situation.

She hesitated for a moment, then dialed Chi Shaojun's number.

"What is it?" A cold voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Young Master Chi, Miss Ann just came to my company." Lee Xi said in detail. Since she couldn't find a way out of this, maybe Chi Yue would think of something.

"Ann Qianxi? What did she want with you? "

"She didn't say anything important, but from the surveillance, we can see her previous actions. Young Master Chi, this woman is not very obedient. "

Chi Shaojun remained silent for a few seconds, clearly thinking about what the other party said.

"I know. If she's still looking for you, do you know what to do?"

"Young Master Chi, don't worry, I will do everything I've been told." Lee Xi agreed.

"That's good." After Chi Shaojun hung up, he leaned against the middle of the chair.

Ann Qianxi's attitude towards him had changed a little recently. She took advantage of his absence to flip through the phone records, but this time, she went to Lee Xi without any warning.

Ann Qianxi, Ann Qianxi, what are you trying to do?

What was it that attracted you to do so many things in secret?

Chi Shaojun murmured to himself as he faced the empty room alone.

He only felt that Ann Qianxi was really unfathomable, but at that moment, the memory of Ann Qianxi wearing a cloud pattern suddenly flashed through his mind.

A bad premonition gradually spread in his heart.

After leaving Lee Xi's office, Wang Ge had been waiting in the car for a long time.

He got off the car considerately and opened the door to the back seat, but his phone rang out at the wrong time.

"Miss Ann, have you settled everything here?" Closing the car door, Wang Ge sat in the driver's seat. He opened his phone and sent a message from Chi Shaojun, "Pay close attention to Ann Qianxi's whereabouts."

Seeing such a message, Wang Ge subconsciously looked at the backseat through the mirror and hurriedly asked Ann Qianxi about her next trip to divert her attention.
