CHAPTER 1401 - EXPATRIATE STUDY

Sun Dongkai was sitting on the sofa drinking tea and beckoning me to sit down. He looked at me and said, Little Yu, Director Guan is going to study abroad, do you understand?

I don't know! I shook my head.

Sun Dong Kai laughed, You really don't know?

I said, I didn't know before you told me. Now I know!

Sun Dongkai continued to laugh, You don't know that it's normal, but I already knew that the class that Dean Guan attended would be organized to travel abroad and leave on Saturday.

That's not bad, it's a good thing! I looked at Sun Dong Kai, I couldn't figure out the reason why Sun Dong Kai told me this. Friday I'm going to follow Guan Yun Fei's instructions and drive Xie Fei to the provincial capital to meet up with him. Why would Sun Dong Kai tell me this at this time?

Boss wants to go abroad, according to the rules, we subordinates can't possibly have no reaction, right? I've thought about it. This Friday, I decided to go to the provincial capital to see off Director Guan. I did my best.

Yes, yes! I said, When you go abroad to study, I'll take the company and the company to send you off.

Haha, I'm very happy that you have this kind of intention. However, let's not talk about that for now. First, talk about sending off the chairman off. Sun Dongkai said, This time I'm going to the provincial capital to see Director Guan off. I don't plan to bring anyone else, just Cao Li and you!

With that, Sun Dongkai looked at me with a smile, as if he was waiting for me to make the expression he expected me to make.

When I heard that, I was stunned. Damn, this is bad!

Guan Yunfei told me to drive Xie Fei to the provincial capital on Friday, and also told me to keep it a secret from the public. Why would Sun Dongkai take me to the provincial capital to see me off? How could this be? If he takes me there, how am I supposed to complete the mission that Guan Yunfei assigned to me?

How should I reply to Sun Dongkai now?

Feeling somewhat troubled, he didn't say anything for a while and just looked at Sun Dong Kai.

Are you happy to hear this news? Sun Dongkai smiled at me.

I understand the meaning behind Sun Dong Kai's words at this moment, yes, big figures go out to study abroad, and to have the opportunity to participate in their departure, this is a rare opportunity and honor, this is not a chance that everyone can have, let who go, it shows who is in the boss's eyes and who is of importance in the boss's eyes.

At the same time, in the eyes of many, it was also the best time to get close to important figures. There was no need to explain the significance of getting close to them. If it was anyone else, they would not refuse this kind of thing, they should all be happy, and should all be grateful to Sun Dong Kai.

But I couldn't bring myself to be happy. I was f * cking stuck on a tiger right now and needed to find a suitable reason to reject Sun Dongkai's generous offer.

Sun Dong Kai didn't bring a single senior member, he only brought Cao Li and me. He seemed to show that in his eyes, Cao Li and I were the people he trusted the most, and the people worth praising in front of Guan Yunfei.

Although I couldn't feel happy in my heart, at this moment, I had to put on an expression of joy and act as if I was flattered. This was normal, and wouldn't arouse Sun Dong Kai's suspicions.

So, I immediately appeared very happy and flattered. Looking at Sun Dongkai, I excitedly said, I feel very honored and pleasantly surprised to have such a good opportunity!

Sun Dong Kai laughed, as if my performance made him very satisfied, he said: I knew you would be very happy, this time seeing off Director Guan, I will only take you and Cao Li, you understand my intentions right?

Understood, understood. I nodded excitedly. I really understand how kind you are to me. Being able to attend such an occasion shows how much you have done for me and how much you have nurtured me.

I'm very comforted that you can understand my thoughts! Sun Dongkai said.

But — I frowned.

But what? Sun Dongkai said.

But I'm in a difficult position! I still have my concerns.

What's wrong? What's so difficult about it? Do you have any concerns? Sun Dongkai said.

I continued to frown. This Friday, I made an appointment to eat with an important client, a big client of ours, who ordered a thousand newspapers last year. I wanted to take the opportunity to do some work for him and get him to order ten thousand copies of the evening paper.

Just change the time for this! Sun Dongkai said.

This client is very difficult to arrange and has a lot of airs. I've asked him a dozen times, and finally he agreed to have dinner with me on Friday. If I change the time again, I'm afraid I'll be done for if I don't have the shop in this village and drag it through New Year's Day. And I hear that our competitors are also doing his job and want to replace our newspapers with theirs. Look at this, you see …"

Oh, it's like this. This really isn't easy to do. Our big customers are our gods, we absolutely cannot ignore them, let alone let our competitors get rid of them. We absolutely cannot lose them. Sun Dong Kai also hesitated.

To be able to follow you to the provincial capital to see Chief Steward off, that's what I wish for. However, this matter of a client coincidentally coincided together, so what should I do? No, I said.

Is this what's troubling you?

I nodded.

Then what are your doubts? Sun Dongkai said.

I said, I was actually a little worried. I was worried for you!

What are you worried about? Sun Dongkai looked at me with a puzzled expression.

If you don't greet him, if he goes, if someone whom you don't like and don't want to see show up at that event, won't that mean that he won't be happy with you? Wouldn't that be bad for you? The good news has gone blind. No, I said.

You don't need to worry about that. Chairman Guan likes you very much. I'll take you to him and he won't be unhappy. Cao Li is my office manager. She follows me, and Director Guan can't say anything either. Sun Youkai heaved a sigh of relief. But even so, your considerations are still reasonable. You've already learned how to think things through. You've learned how to share my worries. Not bad at all!

Although I know that Supervisor has a good impression of me, but after all, in an occasion like sending me off abroad, the number of people participating is very small. It's better to greet the Supervisor in advance, otherwise, what would happen? After all, you and I have a different relationship than Director Guan, I'm your direct subordinate, and Director Guan is still a level away from us and doesn't usually interact much. In my heart, I still feel that you're close, and nowadays, even the boss's thoughts are hard to guess, so it's better to greet Director Guan first. No, I said.

Sun Dongkai pondered.

"Actually, I absolutely do not want to miss this opportunity. If Chairman Guan would agree to allow me to participate in this rare occasion, then I would think of a way to contact that big client and try to change the time to talk about it. If he would agree, then that would be great, and it would not affect my work. I went on.

I directly kicked the ball to Guan Yunfei. Guan Yunfei was very clear on whether or not he should go with Sun Dong Kai to the provincial capital. If he could let me go, maybe he would just let Sun Dong Kai go with Xie Fei. Then I would really be at ease.

Sun Dongkai pondered for a moment, then took out his phone and started dialing.

I reached for the cigarette on the coffee table in front of Sun Dongkai, lit one, took two puffs, and watched him make the call.

Director Guan, I'm Dong Kai, haha … Sun Dongkai smiled tactfully, Yes, it's this kind of Director Guan, aren't you going on an expedition abroad this Saturday? I want to visit you in the provincial capital on Friday, and also send you off abroad, hehe … Dean Guan, there's no need to be so polite. If you want to go abroad, it's only right for me to send you off as a subordinate. I just want to express my feelings for you, hehe …

I listened intently to Sun Dongkai's phone call.

Sun Dong Kai continued to make a phone call, I think, we shouldn't bring too many people with us, too many people, the commotion is too big and the impact is too bad, I will only bring two people, one is Cao Li, and the other one is Yuke, the three of us will send you off, do you think that is appropriate, Chief Guan?

I smoked and looked at Sun Dongkai, who had a humble smile on his face as he listened to Guan Yunfei.

Oh … Oh … Sun Dongkai nodded vigorously, It's like this... That's what you think. En, good, good. You are quite considerate. Alright, I will not bring Suike then. I will go with Cao Li.

I was relieved.

Alright, alright. I'll see you on Friday night then, Director Guan! With that, Sun Dongkai put down his phone.

I looked disappointed, even sad.

Sun Dong Kai sighed, Luckily you reminded me to call the chief executive, he wouldn't let you go.

Why? I'm in a very low mood.

Firstly, Director Guan said that since there are too many people abroad to see you off, there is no need for so many people. He said that he wanted to see me the most, so it would be good if he talked to me alone, but Cao Li, since you are my office manager, you should follow her; secondly, Director Guan emphasized the work, he said that it's not that he doesn't want you to go, he even said that he hasn't seen you for a long time, and wants to see you as well. However, he said that this is a period of great contract. Your work is very busy, and the burden on your shoulders is very important. At this point, you need to wholeheartedly immerse yourself in your work. Do not participate in irrelevant activities and occasions that you do not have to attend. He said that doing a good job with the contract was the best way to see him off. Let me tell you something so that you can do your job with peace of mind. Sun Dongkai said with a regretful expression.

I sighed. After all that is said and done, you don't want me to go. After all that is said and done, you don't want me to attend that event. Ai, Chairman Sun, it's a waste of your efforts. He doesn't like me, so if you don't want to go, then go. However, I still appreciate your kindness. In the end, you're still the one who treats me the best!"

At this moment, I had already determined in my heart that Guan Yunfei didn't want Sun Dong Kai to send Xie Fei over, and secondly, he didn't want Sun Dong Kai to know that I was going to send Xie Fei off.

After Sun Dong Kai heard my words, he smiled in relief: "Hehe, Little Yu, don't understand Director Guan's painstaking efforts so clearly, what you said made sense. From another perspective, this also showed the Director Guan's expectations of you. You should understand the importance he attaches to you in this way. This time, if you don't want to go, then don't. There will be more chances in the future.

I looked gratefully at Sun Dong Kai. Chairman Sun, you are so kind to me. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Hehe, it's good that you can understand my heart. I'm still very comforted! Sun Dong Kai smiled.

At this moment, Cao Li pushed open the door and entered. As soon as she entered, she directly said, I've already informed the Finance Department of the things I need to bring to the provincial capital. They will be ready before I leave!

After saying that, Cao Li looked at me.

Sun Dong Kai calmly looked at Cao Li, seemingly dissatisfied with her abrupt speech.

Cao Li stopped talking and smiled at me.

My heart skipped a beat.

Cao Li then said, Hur hur, Dean is here too. I didn't see it earlier!

I said half-jokingly, Can I interpret that as Director Cao being arrogant?

Sun Dong Kai laughed, Cao Li also laughed and said, Director Yi, I don't dare to accept this. I have always been a Ma Da Ha, you don't have to say it this way!

What a joke! No, I said.

I knew you were joking! Cao Li said.

CHAPTER 1402 - ABACUS FAIL

Sun Dongkai said to Cao Li, "I was going to take you two to the provincial capital to see Director Guan off, but Director Guan didn't agree. First of all, you don't want to be affected by too many people, and second of all, Yi Ke's current work is at a critical point, so don't get out of the way and do anything unrelated. So I'll be going with you on Friday!

Oh. Cao Li blinked with an expression of surprise, but soon after, she revealed a somewhat regretful expression.

I know why Cao Li would feel regretful. She might be planning to go to the capital to find a chance to play tricks on me. Now that I can't go, her plan has failed, so it would be regretful.

What's wrong with one more person and one less person? Director, you're thinking too much, aren't you? Cao Li grumbled, Going to see you off on Friday and coming back on Saturday, what kind of work will that affect? Is Chairman Guan making a big fuss over nothing?

Sun Dong Kai looked at Cao Li in dissatisfaction: Since Boss has spoken, what are you worrying about? How come you don't have any brains at all, and you don't even have to filter your words?] Why don't you have any principles at all?"

Cao Li pursed her lips, looked at me, and stopped talking.

I stood up to say goodbye.

When I went out and saw that there was no one outside, I didn't leave immediately. Instead, I put my ear to the crack in the door of Sun Dongkai's office and listened.

Why don't you think about it when you talk with your mouth open? Can't you see clearly if there are other people speaking? He heard the voice of Sun Dong Kai reprimanding Cao Li.

Isn't Euchor someone you trust? He's an outsider again! Cao Li tried to defend herself.

That's right, he's someone I trust, but he can't know anything. How come you don't know anything? Sun Dongkai was even more angry.

If you don't want him to know, then why are you bringing him to the provincial capital? Cao Li said.

Bringing him to the capital doesn't necessarily mean you have to let him know what I want you to do, do you understand? Sun Dongkai said.

Understood, understood. Cao Li said, You actually want him to act as a cover?

It's good that you know it, but there's no need for that. If Chairman Guan doesn't agree with his decision, then just don't go!

What a pity …

What are you feeling sorry for?

It's nothing.

I think you have little Jiu Jiu in your heart, right? Do you want to hit on Ike?

What did you say? How could I do that? I only have you in my heart, how can you say that? How sad you make me, heartless. " Cao Li said in a coquettish tone.

Humph, I'm the only one in your heart, so go ahead and bullshit and coax the devil! Sun Dongkai said.

Aiya, are you jealous? Don't, no matter what I actually did, it was all for you, little enemy!" Cao Li continued to act coquettishly.

Hmph, for me? I went to the capital to see you off, wasn't it for you? Do you know how much concern I had just so that you could live up to your reputation as an internal food stamp? Sun Dongkai said.

My heart stirred. Sun Dongkai originally brought Cao Li to the provincial capital for a purpose, not just as a foil.

I know, hehe, I know you have given your all for me. I will repay you well, and I will use my body to serve you well. How about we go get a room at the hotel tonight, or you come over to my place. Cao Li's voice was somewhat lustful.

I frowned and listened.

What are you playing at? I haven't been home for half a month. If I don't return home tonight to hand over the rations, my family's situation will turn upside down. Sun Dongkai said.

You said that you haven't come home in half a month and haven't been with me even once. Just which woman are you fooling around with? My family is in the wasteland, and I'm also idle. Just which woman have you been playing with recently? Cao Li's voice was full of jealousy, Speak, have you hooked up with Qiu Tong? Did you get her? "

You're always f * cking jealous. You don't have to worry about which woman I'm with. It can't be Qiu Tong anyway. Sun Dong Kai's tone was somewhat anxious, Ai, f * ck, Qiu Tong has no hope. If she were to mention it, I would have no hope.

Sun Dongkai's voice was filled with unwillingness and regret.

Hmph, what's so special about her? Why is her promotion faster than me? I feel bad just by looking at her. Cao Li's voice was filled with unconcealable jealousy, Sooner or later, I will have to subdue her. I will let her know how formidable I am!

Don't be unconvinced, she's more than ten times stronger than you. She's more than a hundred times prettier than you. Fuck, what a pity, why can't you be Qiu Tong? Sun Dongkai said with a tone of regret.

You have to give her more authority and extinguish my ambition. What benefits do you think she will bring to you? Is she loyal to you? Can she listen to you like I do? Cao Li said bitterly, Isn't it just her face that is good? What's the big deal, is her bed martial arts better than mine?"

We'll know whether it's good or not after we try it out! Sun Dong Kai's voice was somewhat ambiguous.

Try my ass. I think you should just give up. I don't think you have the chance. Cao Li said, I'm warning you, you have to be careful of her. Qiu Tong has been secretly fighting with Ji Jian recently, and I think they might be trying to stir up some trouble for you. Don't let them mess you up, be careful!

They … Sun Dong Kai muttered.

I even suspect that they have an abnormal relationship, do you think so? Cao Li said.

I don't think so. I feel like neither of them are that kind of people. Sun Dongkai said.

What kind of people are they? Do you think they must be gentlemen? I don't think so. I suspect that the two of them might have some sort of scheme. Hmph, if they were caught by me, then I will make them suffer. As long as I catch them in action, I will make them lose all their reputation." Cao Li said.

Watch their every move closely. Even if we can't catch them, there's nothing bad about it! Sun Dongkai said.

Don't worry about that, I'll arrange it!

Sun Dong Kai was silent for a moment, By the way, how much did you get the finance department to prepare?

As you requested, one hundred thousand! Cao Li said.

En, alright. Tell the finance department to keep the accounts properly, don't make any mistakes!

It seemed that Sun Dong Kai didn't go empty-handed this time to send Guan Yunfei off, but had brought a hundred thousand yuan with him. This was considered Guan Yunfei's spending money abroad.

Nowadays, it is not surprising that the boss goes abroad to prepare pocket money for his subordinates.

Don't worry, this isn't the first time. I will make the arrangements! Cao Li said loudly, It's only 100,000 this time. It's not a big deal, it's very simple to settle accounts. There were more before, but it's still safe. I do things, so you can rest assured.

Alright, don't speak carelessly about this matter, don't speak carelessly about it! To prevent the wall from having ears! Sun Dongkai lowered his voice.

My body shuddered and I quickly left without a sound.

The next day, I had tea with him.

Xiao Ke, the night before yesterday, I heard from Xiao Ji that the intersection near the People's Hospital was filled with armed men in the middle of the night. Do you know what happened? Old Chestnut said slowly, looking at me.

I know! I said simply.

Gooseberry's eyelids jumped: What's going on? Can you tell me?

Old Li is sick and hospitalized. Li Shun has come back to visit Old Li. He's been surrounded. Those people are after Li Shun!

Li Shun is back. Old Chestnut said.

Yes, what kind of winter training was he bringing his men to do in the forest deep in the Tian Hua Mountain? Hearing that Old Li was sick, he thought he had come back to visit without anyone noticing and ended up falling into Lei Zheng's trap!

And then? Old Chestnut looked out the window.

"In the end, their plan failed, and Li Shun escaped danger.

How did you get out of danger?

Capture Lei Zheng and force him out of the encirclement!

Old Chestnut nodded his head. Looks like Li Shun was almost taken care of. How mysterious!

Yes, very mysterious. I almost had a fight to the death!

In that case, you were there as well, and you participated in the entire process! Old Chestnut said.

I nodded.

In this case, after Lei Zheng suffers such a great humiliation, he won't just let it go! Old Chestnut said.

I think so too, but it's strange that Lei Zheng brought people to visit Old Li early the next morning to express his concern and condolences.

Were you there? Old Chestnut turned to look at me.

I nodded.

You know quite a lot! Old Chestnut said.

I nodded again.

The old man looked out the window again, his expression solemn. He didn't say anything for a long time.

When we split up, old Chestnut said to me, Remember, Xiao Ke: the meaning of life is not to play a good hand, but to play a bad hand.

Although I was still a little confused, I still nodded my head in agreement.

Old Chestnut smiled at me and left.

Leaving the teahouse, I casually walked on the road. The snow on the roadside hadn't completely melted, yet as I walked, it made 'kacha kacha' sounds.

While he was walking with his head lowered, thinking, someone suddenly blocked his way.

He raised his head and saw Qin Lu.

You — I looked at her.

Qin Lu smiled. What's wrong with me?

Are you all right? No, I said.

Not bad. Qin Lu said indifferently.

Oh. I didn't know what to say, so I paused. Why are you here?

Why can't I be here?

I chuckled dryly. That's true. You can stay here, but I feel that I coincidentally met you here.

It's a coincidence that we ran into each other. It's fine if we say it's a coincidence, but it's also fine if we say it's not a coincidence. Qin Lu said.

I laughed again. How are you doing?

Alright, you recovered very well. Thank you for your concern. Qin Lu said.

Actually, I've always felt very sorry. That night … If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have suffered so much. I said earnestly.

Don't mention what happened in the past anymore. It has already happened, so there's no point in talking about it. Besides, it's not like Séon is unlucky. Sometimes bad things can also be a good thing! Qin Lu smiled, revealing a trace of craftiness.

I didn't understand what Qin Lu meant. I looked at her.

Let's find a place to sit and chat for a while. What do you think? Qin Lu said.

I nodded.

Let's go to the coffee shop in the front. Qin Lu pointed to the front.

Good — I nodded, then turned and walked away with her.

We walked in silence for a while, then I looked back and saw a man in a mask and a black down jacket about fifty meters behind us, looking like he was strolling.

When he saw me turn around, he put his hands in his pockets and turned away as if nothing had happened.

I turned around and continued walking with Qin Lu. After walking for a while, I turned around again and saw that the person was still following behind me.

Without looking back, I went directly to the café with Qinlu, found a window seat on the second floor, and ordered two cups of coffee.

CHAPTER 1403 - MINUSCULE MULTIPLICITY

Are you busy these past few days? I asked Qin Lu in passing, then looked out the window. I looked out the window and saw the man again, standing by the side of the road at the newsstand, holding a magazine and flipping through it.

If you stay in the office all day long, you won't be too busy even if you say you're busy. If you say you're not busy, you'll have endless work to do all day. Qin Lu said, The work in the office is like this. It's small and complex. When it's passed on, of course, it's mainly to do good service for the boss.

Boss is Director Lei, right? No, I said.

Qin Lu nodded.

Director Lei is really busy, taking care of everything everyday. I couldn't help but say sarcastically.

Busy but willing. Director Lei is enjoying the time when his horse's hooves are dying! Qin Lu said.

Not bad, look at how proud he is of himself!

However, he doesn't seem to be too happy these past two days.

What's wrong?

"I've heard that a special operation was carried out the night before yesterday. It was set up in the dead of night and there was an emergency in order to capture some leader of the underworld. I've heard that he was a bandit and sent out a large group of men. However, for some reason, after a whole bunch of people busily worked throughout the night and ended up empty-handed, that bandit group actually disappeared without a trace under the [Inescapable Net]. This operation was personally arranged by Director Lei, and in the end, it was a failure.

Then he should be unhappy.

For the past two days, he has been hanging his head with an angry look on his face since he had nothing to do. No one has dared to provoke him, so if I could avoid his face, I could only brace myself and approach him. I didn't want to get into trouble, so I took the time to slip out. Qin Lu said.

What does that have to do with you? No, I said.

This won't do. He has two roles to take care of. If that side is unhappy, it's very easy for them to vent their anger here. Qin Lu said.

The operation over there failed. He did not investigate the reason for the failure. He did not hold anyone accountable?

I haven't heard of it. I neither investigated nor pursued it. Qin Lu said.

This seems very strange.

I heard that the reason for the failure this time might be due to the inside part of the operation and that there might be a traitor, but everyone is only guessing that no one has clear evidence. If there is no evidence, then they can't say it on the surface. On this trip, they heard that Director Lei had even personally led the car to clear the way. They didn't know if he had brought some comrades or those from the higher ups to observe the road. Originally, they had wanted to show off, but the end result was … Think about it, Director Lei, how can you not be angry? Qin Lu said.

That's right, whoever it is, Director Lei should be very angry. I nodded.

Let's not talk about this anymore. These are all matters of the upper echelons, there's no need for us to worry about them. Qin Lu said.

I looked at Qin Lu. What have you been busy with these past few days?

What are you busy with? Qin Lu hesitated for a moment, then said, Busy with your work.

Is it really just work? No, I said.

Qin Lu said, I know what you want to ask. It's true that these days my main focus is not on my work, but on my own work."

I said, How busy are you? Are you busy with the results?

I couldn't help but start to care about Qin Lu and Guan Yunfei.

Qin Lu looked at me silently for a moment.

Looking at Qin Lu's expression, I'm a little regretful that I asked such a question earlier. Damn it, what does their matter have to do with me? As much as I love you, what happens if I love you, what do I want to know? Isn't this meddling in other people's business?

I smiled awkwardly. I'm sorry, I asked a question that I shouldn't have.

I don't think you should ask. Don't think too much. Qin Lu said, Actually, I feel that the reason you asked me this question of your own accord was because you were concerned about my performance. I'm actually quite happy in my heart.

Qin Lu said that she was happy in her heart, but I couldn't help but grumble in my heart.

Actually, you know my temperament and style of doing things in this matter. I have already paid such a heavy price and I have already reached this step, so of course, I cannot easily let this matter go. I will not let this matter go so easily. No matter what price I have to pay, I must obtain the final victory." Qin Lu's tone was very decisive.

I stared at her.

Of course, up until now, the situation has been very advantageous for me. I have always been in the initiative, I have always been controlling the progress of the situation, and the initiative was always in my hands. Qin Lu said, If nothing goes wrong, I think I won't have to wait until next year to get what I want.

My heart sinks. Listening to Qin Lu's words, it seems that she has once again increased her pressure on Guan Yunfei, giving him even more pressure. It seems that Guan Yunfei has once again given her an even clearer and more solemn promise.

Of course, I don't know how they're going to split up, or whether Sheffield is going to agree to help them. What I don't know is whether Guan Yunfei really wants to break up with Xie Fei, or marry Qin Lu.

Of course, if Qin Lu threatened Guan Yunfei with the child in his womb, he would have no other choice. After all, between a woman and an official, according to Guan Yunfei's personality, he would definitely choose the latter. Moreover, perhaps Qin Lu knew his other secrets.

However, Qin Lu knew some of his secrets, so how could Xie Fei not know as well? It wasn't fun to anger Qin Lu, but it was even more terrifying to anger Xie Fei. After all, he and Xie Fei had been together for even longer periods of time.

The reason why Qin Lu was so anxious to pressure Guan Yunfei was because she wanted to cook the raw rice before he knew that his child had miscarried. She wanted to reach her goal so she could deal with him later.

I faintly felt that Qin Lu had pushed Guan Yunfei a little too far, to the point that she had to settle it this year.

Qin Lu looked out the window and was silent for a long time before she said, "Actually, I had no other choice. I had to settle this matter before Guan Yunfei knew that I had miscarried, and if this were to drag on, sooner or later, Guan Yunfei would find out that I no longer had any children in my womb.

I gave Guan Yunfei an ultimatum. After returning from abroad, we must resolve this matter, that is to say, during this trip, Guan Yunfei must have a showdown with Xie Fei. Not only must we open up a showdown, but we must have Xie Fei agree to leave him, no matter what methods he uses, we must do so. Of course, what method he uses is his business. I only want to see the result, not the process. "

I felt a chill on my back as I looked at Qin Lu. Is this really how it is? You have no other choice?

Yes, there's no other choice. Let's fight on our backs! Qin Lu's tone was very straightforward.

I lit a cigarette and smoked in silence.

Do you think I'm despicable, selfish, shameless, cruel, and cold? Qin Lu said.

I looked at Qin Lu and said nothing.

I know that's what you must think, that's what you must think. Qin Lu said.

I smiled bitterly.

After a moment of silence, Qin Lu slowly said, I don't want to be enlightened after countless struggles. I want to give myself the truest explanation. This is — acceptance.

Accept what? Who will accept it? No, I said.

Accept this fact, accept what has happened, accept what no one can change. Qin Lu said, Who will accept it? Me, Guan Yunfei, and Xie Fei, we have to accept. Of course, we also have to accept everyone around us. Accept. This is an irrevocable ending.

I looked at Qin Lu in disbelief as I listened to her argument. It was as if her words were very righteous, as if she had sufficient reasons. But it also seemed as if she was using forced defense and explanation to cover up the anxiety and uneasiness that was growing in her heart. This uneasiness had always lingered in her heart; she had no one to pour out her heart to, no one to say it to, only to bury it deep within her heart and never have a chance to be released.

Qin Lu's mental pressure was actually very great. I felt that she was on the verge of collapse.

It was as if, not only Qin Lu, even Guan Yunfei's mind was about to collapse from Qin Lu's torment.

It seemed like even Xie Fei's mental state was not completely calm.

Qin Lu continued, In fact, it's permanent if there's a flaw. Life is only possible if you don't complete it.

I said, Your words seem very philosophical. I don't understand them.

It doesn't matter if you understand or not. To you, you only need to understand my heart! As she spoke, she reached out and took my hand, which was on the tabletop, and looked at me warmly.

Qin Lu's eyes were very hot, but her hands were very cold.

I gently withdrew my hand and looked at Qin Lu. Think like this, do you really think that your life will be perfect? Do you really think everyone would think so?

Qin Lu looked at me and let out a light breath. I actually wanted to tell you something.

Go ahead. I lit another cigarette.

Live your own life, and don't ask others for their standards. Qin Lu said.

You are defending what you have done! You're finding a reasonable theoretical basis and basis for your actions! No," I said.

So what if I am?

Actually, you also know that the theoretical basis is very far-fetched!

Do you think it's far-fetched?

Yes! I nodded.

But I don't think so!

Do you feel so sure of yourself?

Qin Lu's eyes flickered as she muttered, What do you mean by saying this?

I don't mean anything. I can't control you. You are an independent entity, and you have your own thoughts and thoughts. You can only control yourself, but I want to remind you that nothing is too excessive.

So what if I did? Qin Lu said.

It will be the opposite if we overdo it!

Have I passed? Or do you think I did something wrong?

I nodded.

Qin Lu fell silent, then lowered her head, and said after a long while, If, it really was the past, really wrong, then it was wrong from the beginning, the mistake from the beginning caused the present, even if it was wrong at the start, but now it is impossible to turn back, the mistake will continue, the mistake will continue, the mistake will continue, it is the right choice, it is right, now, there is no turning back, if you turn back, it is the path of death.

Looking at Qin Lu, I slowly said, Do you want to hear a few words from me?

CHAPTER 1404 - THE SPEAKER IS NOT GUILTY

Yes! In front of me, anything you say is fine, anything you say is fine, I will not blame you. Qin Lu smiled at me.

I said, Qin Lu, I admit that you are very strong, but strong, not in the face of sadness do not shed a tear, but after drying your tears and smiling to face the future life. In fact, I would like to say that there are some things that, for you, are over or, you may think, are just beginning.

You speak very discreetly, but even so, I can still hear the meaning behind your words. You're trying to dissuade me, aren't you?

You can think of it that way.

Qin Lu said, I want to say, once the opening act of life begins, no matter how timid you are, you have to act until the end of the play.

I shook my head. It looks like none of us can convince anyone.

There's no need to convince him. The facts will verify everything! Qin Lu said stubbornly.

Fact, what kind of facts do you need, and what will happen to the facts? I muttered, suddenly feeling unusually irritable, and then suddenly a little uneasy.

Right at that moment, Qin Lu's cell phone rang. She hurriedly picked it up. It was from her unit.

After receiving the call, Qin Lu smiled apologetically at me, The office has something to talk to me about. I need to go back first.

Go! I nodded. I felt that I had nothing to talk to her about, so I didn't have anything else to say.

Qinlu hurried away, and I sat alone, savoring the bitter coffee.

Today is Wednesday, the day after tomorrow I will take Sheffield to the provincial capital.

The day after tomorrow, Sheffield and Guan Yunfei will travel abroad together.

Would this trip be bad luck for her? According to what Qin Lu said, it was definitely bad luck. However, I didn't know why, but I felt a little uncertain. My intuition told me that Xie Fei wasn't a dull woman. She wouldn't sit back and watch Qin Lu recklessly assault me.

Xie Fei was not stupid, and Guan Yunfei was even more so.

Qin Lu was not stupid.

Then who was the idiot? Then who would be the final victor in this tangled game?

I can't think of anything.

After a while, he suddenly thought of the suspicious person in the black down jacket with the mask on. He looked out the window and saw that the person in front of the newsstand across the street had disappeared.

Stretching his neck to look around, he still didn't see that person.

I frowned, suspecting that my previous judgement might have been wrong. Maybe that person wasn't following me to begin with, or maybe he was just a normal passerby.

I was unaware that a shocking event, a great disaster, was slowly descending.

Of course, Qin Lu didn't notice them.

Of course, no one around him could detect it.

Of course, the shock and catastrophe did not erupt immediately.

I was sitting at the window drinking coffee while the clouds gathered slowly and silently around me.

Looking out the window, the winter sun is still bright, the blue sky floating a few white clouds.

At that moment, my phone rang. I saw that it was Guan Yunfei.

I don't know why, but as soon as I see Guan Yunfei's number recently, my heart starts to race.

Especially now, Qin Lu had just left.

Hello, Director Guan! I answered the phone.

Greetings, Director! Guan Yunfei's mocking voice came over the phone.

I smiled.

Where? Guan Yunfei said.

It's in Hai Zhou.

Nonsense.

Hehe, it's in a coffee shop in Hai Zhou.

With whom? Guan Yunfei said.

With a friend. My friend just left. I'm here alone.

Boyfriend or girlfriend?

What is it? The director is investigating my personal life? I said, feeling vaguely uneasy.

What is it? Surprised? Just a casual question from me is enough to frighten you? Guan Yunfei said in a joking tone.

Mu Xianzhi. I laughed dryly.

So, Mu Youxin was just a person who unintentionally overheard the conversation? Guan Yunfei said again.

There's no need for that. Director Guan sure knows how to joke around.

At this moment, I thought, I can't tell Guan Yunfei that I just finished coffee with Qin Lu, and I can't let him know that I have any contact with her.

This was my instinct and my subconscious thought.

I'm just teasing you. It's fine even if you have coffee with your girlfriend. Guan Yunfei laughed as he said, If you don't work properly and come out for a cup of coffee, aren't you too idle?

It's a combination of effort and ease.

What day is it today? Guan Yunfei changed the topic.

Wednesday.

What's up on Friday?

There's something.

What is it?

I'm going to the provincial capital on Friday to send my senior sister there.

Haha, very good. You have a good memory. Guan Yunfei laughed.

How could you dare to forget what you arranged?

Do you know that Tokai is coming to the provincial capital on Friday?

Got it. I answered directly.

Oh. Guan Yunfei gave a long 'oh' as if he was slightly surprised.

Chairman Sun is going to the provincial capital to see you off. Take Cao Li with you. No, I said.

Yes.

Originally, he wanted to bring me along, but you rejected him. I added, I was sitting next to Chairman Sun when he called you.

So that's how it is. Guan Yunfei laughed, Do you have any objections?

Of course I have no objections. I urged Chairman Sun to call you and ask for permission.

So it's like this …

Yes, Chairman Sun called me into his office and told me that he was going to the provincial capital to send you off. He wanted to take me and Cao Li there. So I suggested that he call you first and ask for your entourage. No, I said.

So you're kicking the ball at me.

Yeah, I had no other choice at that time. It could only be like this.

You didn't tell Zhu Kai that you were sending your senior sister to the provincial capital, did you?

I wouldn't suggest he call you if he did.

Very good, you did very well. Guan Yunfei said, Don't tell anyone about what I've arranged for you. This is my private matter and I don't want anyone else to know about it.

I understand.

Zhukai and Cao Li will leave for the provincial capital on Friday morning. As for you, you can leave in the afternoon. When you arrive, be careful not to run into them. Guan Yunfei said.

Alright, I will pay attention.

Do you find it strange that I should arrange this?

I'm not surprised.

Why?

Because I've never thought about it before. I only know to do things according to your arrangements. As for the reason, I don't think about it, and I won't think too much about it.

Hehe, you clever and cunning little thing. Guan Yunfei seemed very pleased with my answer.

In front of you, you don't dare to say that you're smart, and even more so, you don't dare to say that you're cunning. No, I said.

Have you thought about why I'm taking you to the capital to see me off?

I have.

What do you think?

This is the nurturing and praise that Chairman Sun has given me. He wants to create an opportunity for me to get close to you, an occasion where I can get close to you.

What else?

I don't have any.

I didn't expect you to be used as a camouflage partner.

I've never thought of it, and I don't dare to think of it.

After praising you for being smart, you turned silly.

I have to be silly when I have to be. No, I said.

So, you're still very smart. You actually know what you're doing?

In front of you, I will never be smart. No matter how good I am, I can't be better than a leader.

Haha. Guan Yunfei laughed and said, Sure, Little Yi. It seems like I've not trained you in vain. You're getting better and better at speaking. You know when to speak to someone. That's right, this is how it is. You need to learn how to see things with your eyes, to learn how to read things. In our circle, observing things is an essential skill. I think you're progressing very quickly."

It's all the result of Dean Guan's nurturing and teaching.

Enough, stop flattering me. Whether you flatter me or not, I have absolute trust in you. Guan Yunfei said.

Oh.

Do you know why?

I don't know.

Because of my understanding of your character and temperament, because of my understanding of your character and ability, and also because of the relationship between you and your senior sister. For all these reasons, if I don't trust you, who else can I trust?

Guan Yunfei's reason seemed to be very plentiful, but I still felt that it was a bit far-fetched when I heard it. I actually didn't know how much trust he had in me, but I knew that he definitely wouldn't trust me very much. After all, I didn't have much contact with him.

I think so myself, and I don't know if he thinks so in his heart.

But I still said: I am honored and grateful to the director for his trust in me. I will not fail to live up to his trust.

I'm very pleased that you're able to say this. Guan Yunfei said, I called you today to remind you of Friday's events, but also to remind you of the matter of sending your senior sister to the provincial capital on Friday. You have to avoid everyone and not let anyone know about it, not to mention running into Zhang Kai's group in the provincial capital.

Alright! I agreed, but I couldn't understand why Guan Yunfei would be so secretive about it. Why would it be shameful for him to take his wife on a trip abroad? Why didn't he get Donkey to bring her along with him? Why must I personally send you off?

Although he wanted to, he didn't say it out loud. Since he had already made such arrangements, he would execute them.

After receiving Guan Yunfei's call, I sat in the coffee shop and continued smoking. I thought about the reason why Guan Yunfei had called me, but after thinking for a long time, I still wasn't able to think it through.

Recalling the conversation with Qin Lu just now, thinking about Guan Yunfei and Xie Fei who were about to leave the country, and thinking about the imminent war between the three of them, he couldn't help but feel a little fearful.

Recalling the conversation I overheard between Cao Li and Sun Dong Kai that day, Sun Dong Kai will give Guan Yunfei a hundred thousand pocket money. For Sun Dong Kai and Guan Yunfei, this money isn't a large sum, it could even be said to be pocket money, but will Guan Yun Fei accept Sun Dong Kai's filial piety?

According to the subtle relationship between Sun Dongkai, Lei Zheng, and Guan Yunfei, would Guan Yunfei want the money? Didn't Sun Dongkai understand the relationship between the two? Obviously, he knew. If he knew, why did he give Guan Yunfei so much money? Did he not know that Guan Yunfei would refuse?

Sun Dongkai thought to himself: It doesn't matter whether Yun Fei wants this one hundred thousand or not, as long as my heart is there, it's fine as long as you know that I have this kind of feelings for you. It's fine as long as you know that in my eyes, you're still high and mighty.

CHAPTER 1405 - TOO MUCH DEDICATION

If that was the case, if Guan Yunfei didn't want the 100,000, then this 100,000 would obviously not be refundable. It would obviously become Cao Li's or Sun Dong Kai's pocket money and would end up in their own pockets. As for the group finance department, they would also make the accounts perfectly complete, without any flaws.

Thinking of this, Sun Dong Kai's purpose of bringing Cao Li to the provincial capital, aside from sending Guan Yunfei off, was to do something for Cao Li, which was to let Cao Li, the internal grain ticket, live up to her name.

Perhaps this was the real purpose of Sun Dong Kai and Cao Li's visit. After all, Cao Li was Sun Dong Kai's most caring person. She had given too much for Sun Dong Kai. Not only did she work at the front, but she had also given her body to him. It was unjustifiable for her not to do anything for Cao Li.

However, if Cao Li wanted to improve, Guan Yunfei would have to go through a bottleneck. Guan Yunfei's trial was the most crucial, so it was impossible for anyone to improve without Yunfei's permission.

Although Guan Yunfei was currently studying in the provincial capital, he was still controlling everything in the system through remote control. He had to report to Guan Yunfei on every major event, and he had been paying close attention to the movements of the various subordinate units.

Thinking like this, Sun Dong Kai brought Cao Li to send Guan Yunfei off. His real purpose was to give Cao Li an opportunity to improve. After all, Cao Li had been a CEO's assistant for a long time. The CEO's assistant that she mentioned with Qiu Tong earlier, Qiu Tong had long become the proper Vice President, and Cao Li was still walking on the spot. How could Cao Li, who was still envious of Qiu Tong and wanted to suppress Qiu Tong's limelight, endure this?

At the same time, from Sun Dong Kai's perspective, the harder Qiu Tong's wings were, the harder it was for him to control her. At the same time, from Sun Dong Kai's perspective, the harder Qiu Tong's wings were, the harder it was for him to control her.

The best way for Cao Li to control Qiu Tong was to have Cao Li lift her up at the same level as Qiu Tong.

Cao Li was Sun Dong Kai's trusted aide. If she joined the team, the benefits to Sun Dong Kai were obvious; it would be more beneficial to Sun Dong Kai's ability to speak in the group, and also be an important force in the fight between him and Ji Jian.

As such, promoting Cao Li would bring many benefits. If he wanted Cao Li to promote her, he would need to pass through Guan Yunfei. This was the most important part.

Of course, there was also the possibility that Sun Dongkai had worked in other channels, but even if he had done all the other things well, as long as Guan Yunfei did not nod, everything would have been for naught. Unless Josda forcefully repressed Guan Yunfei and nodded his head, but the possibility of such a thing happening was extremely small, and Josda would not do such a thing.

I couldn't help but wonder, why was Sun Dongkai so anxious to promote Cao Li? The company's upper echelons had a fixed number of jobs. Since they were already full, how could Cao Li join the team?

Also, according to the regulations, Cao Li did not have much time left. Unless she made an exception, she would not be able to raise her age again.

Also, based on his relationship with Lei Zheng, was Sun Dong Kai not afraid of encountering trouble in front of Guan Yunfei? Did he think that Guan Yunfei's trial was over? Would Guan Yunfei give him this face by letting go and promoting Cao Li?

For me, at this moment, Guan Yunfei's attitude is a mystery. First, will he accept Sun Dong Kai's filial tribute of 100,000 yuan, and second, he won't give Sun Dong Kai any face to promote Cao Li.

Accepting this one hundred thousand was the same as letting Sun Dong Kai take the blame for the bribe. Normally, if Guan Yunfei wasn't stupid, he wouldn't have accepted it. Telling Cao Li was equivalent to increasing Sun Dong Kai's strength in the group. This was equivalent to putting himself in the way, and it was reasonable to say that Guan Yunfei wouldn't be so foolish.

However, this is just my thought. My thought seems very direct and very simple. Could Guan Yunfei have thought more deeply about it? Perhaps, Guan Yunfei was well aware of the existence of tigers and tigers in the mountain. Would he be able to subdue them?

In the evening, after returning to the dormitory, I turned on the computer and clicked on the button. She was there.

Come here, I said.

Eh, what is it? No, she said.

Let me ask you something!

Go ahead.

Are there any changes to the group's upper echelons recently?

What do you mean? No, she said.

What about you? Are the members of the group not to move?

You seem to be well-informed. How did you know?

I guessed.

You really know how to guess.

Looks like it's true.

After the new year, there will be a batch of aged people who will have to retreat to the second tier. The corresponding batch will have to be promoted and adjusted accordingly. The number is not many and can be considered as a minor adjustment. Our system has a vice in charge of news services at the SARFT. I heard that the authorities wanted to transfer a deputy chief editor who is knowledgeable about news services from our group. No," she said.

I understand, f * * k, so that's how it is. We can assign a deputy chief to leave, and it just so happens that there will be an empty spot for one of the higher ups. Sun Dong Kai really knew how to take advantage of this opportunity. He seized this opportunity to pick up Cao Li and fill her in.

What Sun Dongkai needed to do now was to try his best to bring it up from within the group and not send anyone else in from the outside. The group had several vice directors, but only one vice president,
