C9 Chapter 9

Zhong Qiqi carried a big bag and a small bag. She was determined to fill the fridge at home with stuff. When she walked to the entrance of the mall, she was stunned. . .

The heavy rain swept across the entire city and the entire sky was grey. The pedestrians on the road were in a hurry. Zhong Qiqi sighed and threw the things in her hands to her feet and weakly took out her phone.

When she saw this, she was quite frightened. It was fine if she did not answer a few phone calls, but the key was that this phone call came from the same person - the manager!

Logically speaking, there would not be any work matters that would bother Zhong Qiqi during this time of rest. This was the most human-like thing in their company. Obviously, today was the day. Zhong Qiqi held her phone in a dejected manner and frowned slightly.

At this time, the phone rang again persistently. She had no choice but to answer, "Manager. " Zhong Qiqi adjusted her voice and pretended to be happy.

"There is a gala today. The CEO needs a female partner and I recommended you. So. . . Stay at home at 7 pm and don't go out. I will send someone to pick you up. "

Zhong Qiqi heard the sound and became even more dispirited. Just as she wanted to refuse, but. . . "Du Du. . . " What the hell was the sound of Du Du that came from beside her ear!

She really wanted to throw her phone! This entire day, she had been muddle-headed and muddle-headed. He was not in a good mood at all. Now, he was going to attend some banquet.

He had received strange threatening gifts the moment he got home. After that, he met Qiao Yukun, Zhong Yuyu, and Qiao Xiaoni. This series of events seemed to have happened on this day. It was as if Pandora's box had been knocked over.

Zhong Qiqi shook her head and pretended not to care. Work hard, Zhong Qiqi. It was your own choice and you should not give up.

She rushed into the heavy rain without caring about anything and rushed towards the place where she stopped.

For the first time, she was so regretful that she parked the car in an open-air corner because she thought it was too troublesome.

When she returned home, she took a shower and rummaged through her wardrobe. There was not a single piece of clothing that she could wear at the banquet.

She remembered that she had a large closet where most of her clothes had never been worn before.

Every weekend, Zhong Qiqi's cloakroom would have a few new clothes. These clothes were still at the fashion press conference on the first night and would be sent to the next morning.

This feeling of being praised to the heavens really made her enjoy it.

However, she gave up mercilessly and even left without saying a word.

Just as she was worrying about the dress problem, the doorbell rang. Zhong Qiqi was afraid that the situation would be the same as in the morning, so she secretly looked outside the door for a long time. Until she was impatient from waiting for the express delivery, she put the box on the ground and walked away.

Zhong Qiqi cautiously opened the door and the box was opened on the spot outside the door.

A pair of red high heels and a black formal dress. The formal dress did not have many decorations. It was just a very simple genuine silk material, but it made Zhong Qiqi fall in love with it the first time she opened it.

She did not expect the eyes of the group of fairies in the CEO's Secret Room to be so good.

She took the dress into the door and put it on. She also swept a simple makeup and tied her hair into a bun. She used a small hairpin to fix it and quietly sat on the sofa waiting for 7 o'clock.

The lights were bright and the toasts could be described as the most beautiful and fancy place in B City. Here, there would be a grand banquet almost every night, and the people who could hold the banquet here were either rich or noble.

When Zhong Qiqi walked into the venue with the big boss, almost everyone's eyes were looking in this direction except for Qiao Yukun.

Yes, this banquet was not organized by Qiao Yukun, but he was the main character.

Surprisingly, what entered his eyes was a huge LED light board, with the words "Welcome back to the country," written on it.

Zhong Qiqi instantly understood. It turned out that this banquet was held for Qiao Yukun, and the organizer was her and his friend, Qi Tiansheng. She was so nervous that she could not breathe. Zhong Qiqi felt that the arm that she was holding the big boss tightened a little.

The big boss didn't think it was a big deal. In fact, he was even in a bad mood. She greeted everyone very well. Zhong Qiqi secretly cursed this wretched man in her heart. He did not leak a single word and did not even greet her when he brought her to the banquet. Now, he had brought her to the banquet. It made her feel like she wanted to dig a hole in the ground.

Looking at these familiar faces, they all looked towards Zhong Qiqi. Some of them were mocking her, while others looked like they were watching a good show.

"Mr Qiao, welcome back to the country. "

Zhong Qiqi had no confidence at all. When she heard this, she realized that she had been pulled to Qiao Yukun by the boss. And beside him. . . How could it be her?

The person on the opposite side looked at Zhong Qiqi mockingly and raised his glass towards her. Zhong Qiqi's eyes stared intently at the hand that she held Qiao Yukun's arm. And that body that was almost touching his body.

Qiao Yukun naturally noticed Zhong Qiqi's uneasiness.

Wasn't this his goal for tonight? Wasn't it to see her sad?

"CEO Wang, this is?" Qiao Yukun asked even though he knew the answer. His eyes stared at Zhong Qiqi without blinking as he asked the big boss of Zhong Qiqi.

Chief Wang was smart. He patted his head and quickly introduced her, "This is Zhong Qiqi from our company. The cooperation between our two companies was carried out by her team. In the future, I hope that Chief Wang will take care of Qiqi. "

Qiao Yukun nodded his head and looked at Zhong Qiqi who was standing at the side with her head lowered. She held the cup in front of her and gently freed Zhong Yuyu from holding her hand. He took the opportunity to take a cup of wine from the table beside and handed it to Zhong Qiqi.

"Miss Zhong, happy cooperation! Can you give me a toast?" Holding the wine glass and looking at Zhong Qiqi just like that, Zhong Qiqi raised her head to look at Qiao Yukun's eyes that flashed with coldness and unfamiliarity.

As proud as she was, she did not allow herself to lose face in front of Qiao Yukun. She smiled and took the wine glass from Qiao Yukun's hand. She gently raised it, "Mr Qiao, please forgive me. "

As she spoke, a glass of strong wine had already been gulped down. Qiao Yukun coldly looked at Zhong Qiqi's entire face and immediately tangled together. He said without thinking, "Tonight is very beautiful. " A small smile was piled on his face as he drank along with Zhong Qiqi's glass of liquor.

Zhong Yuyu was someone who knew the inside story. At this moment, she did not say a word and her smile was very gentle and generous. Anyone could tell that she was watching a good show.

Today, he went to provoke Zhong Qiqi. That night, he received a call from Qiao Yukun.

She had been coveting him for a long time. Just based on his background and his proud appearance, and his elegant demeanor, Zhong Yuyu had always loved such a man.

However, it was useless no matter how he jumped up and down. Qiao Yukun's heart had always been on Zhong Qiqi and he could never get close to her.

But recently, after she heard about Zhong Qiqi and Qiao Yukun returning to the country one after another, she started to launch a new round of attacks on Qiao Yukun.

In her heart, tonight was the best hope. Not only could she get Qiao Yukun, she could also make Zhong Qiqi, this guy who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, angry!

After Qiao Yukun finished drinking, he turned around and left. He did not care about Zhong Qiqi's life and death at all. Instead, Zhong Yuyu pretended to be kind and said, "Miss Zhong, the banquet has not started yet. Don't get drunk. " After saying that, she twisted her small waist and chased after Qiao Yukun.

Zhong Qiqi exhaled and wiped her sweat. Luckily the big boss did not care about what she just said. Otherwise, she would be finished.

"Qiqi, this is Director Qi from the venture capital company. " The big boss smiled with a face full of wrinkles. He spread out his hands to introduce Zhong Qiqi, "This is our company's Zhong Qiqi. "

Qi Qisheng pretended not to know Zhong Qiqi and nodded at the two of them in a friendly manner. However, he could still see that the boss was so attentive to introducing Zhong Qiqi to them. There must be a story behind it.

Zhong Qiqi did not even raise her eyelids as she spoke to Qi Tian Sheng in a friendly manner.

"Director Wang, your female companion doesn't look happy at all. Isn't she too tired?" The words were said to the big boss, but the content was referring to Zhong Qiqi.

Zhong Qiqi curled her lips. At least you still have some conscience. In the past, I didn't treat you to so many meals for free. Following his gaze, she finally gave him a look.

"Oh, it's still President Qi who is considerate. " The big boss gently patted Zhong Qiqi's hand and held his hand. "If you feel tired, then go over there and rest for a while. When the banquet ends, I will go and find you. "

Zhong Qiqi nodded and looked gratefully at the wild and unruly Qi Qisheng. She took the empty wine glass and hurried to the sofa hidden in the corner.

She had a headache. After drinking the glass of wine just now, Zhong Qiqi felt very dizzy. She closed her eyes powerlessly and rested her elbow on her head. She opened her eyes misty and looked at the magnificent hall.

One by one, people dressed in bright clothes and wearing suits and shoes were chatting happily with each other.

Qiao Yukun's voice and smile just now seemed to still echo in her ears. Zhong Yuyu's sarcastic words were still running around in her head. Broken memories that she wanted to throw out kept flashing in her mind.

In the past, she was the lawless person who didn't need to worry about anything. But now, she had to compromise for the sake of her job.

Unconsciously, everyone in the hall was shocked. Suddenly, the lights dimmed and a spotlight was lit on the stage. The monstrous Qi Tiansheng walked to the center of the stage and held a wine cup in his hand.

The hall quieted down.

"First of all, I welcome everyone to the banquet that I have organized. The main purpose of this banquet is to welcome my good brother, Qiao Yukun, who has finally abandoned the darkness and joined the light. He has joined the embrace of the motherland. Secondly, it has been a long time since we last met. Let's take this opportunity to interact with each other. "

Qi Tisheng's foundation was in the country, and his connections and career were the foundation of Qiao Yukun's career.

He and Qiao Yukun were childhood friends. Most of the time, Qiao Yukun's career in the country depended on him to develop so well. He also went overseas to expand his career when it was not too late. Therefore, he knew very well about Zhong Qiqi and Qiao Yukun.

But tonight, it really wasn't his intention to arrange it. . .

If he knew that it would give his good brother a chance to chase his sweetheart back, he would definitely know some random people. And that CEO Wang! When he saw that look in his eyes, Something was not right. He actually dared to touch Zhong Qiqi's tender little hand just now!

At that moment, Qi Tian Sheng really felt that his soul was about to be scared out of his body. If Qiao Yukun saw this, his company would probably close down tomorrow. No matter who you are, even the king of heaven would not be able to touch Zhong Qiqi.

In Qiao Yukun's eyes, Zhong Qiqi was the woman who was more important than his life.
