Three and a half hours later, at ten o'clock, I finally got off the highway and set off in the direction of the company.

While waiting for the red light, I reported to Qi Min and my mother that they were safe, and Qi Min said that he would finish talking to a customer himself, and the specific results would be discussed by the company.

I returned to the office five minutes earlier than I expected, and I came back ten minutes later.

Only the conference room in the huge office is lit up, because the annual leave is on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and all employees will still be taking vacation at home.

The two of us lit a cigarette at the same time, and I asked first, "What is the situation of this customer you just came back from the conversation?" ”

Qi Min rubbed his eyes and said a little tiredly: "Among these five suppliers, three of them verbally agreed to cooperate a year ago, and the other two signed contracts. ”

He took a puff of cigarette and continued in a helpless tone: "But this class of grandsons didn't know what evil they had suddenly fallen into, and in the same afternoon, they all told me to cancel the cooperation. I bought cigarettes, alcohol, and tea for tens of thousands of yuan, and went to his house to talk to him, but before I could say a few words, he took out a bank card from the house and gave it to me, saying bluntly, "Na, this is the liquidated damages that I have compensated here, and I am really sorry." I was sent away like this, and I asked him why he wanted to cancel the cooperation, but he refused to say whether he was alive or dead, and apologized to me vigorously. ”

"Come up and take the initiative to pay liquidated damages? This obviously knows that you will come to the door. But I just don't know who gave him this 'seed', there must be a demon when things go wrong, since Jiashi had a public relations crisis, the companies outside that compete with us are staring at us like hungry wolves!" I frowned and took a puff on my cigarette, my brain spinning and thinking: Who is behind the sneak attack on us?

"What you said makes sense, there must be a demon when things go wrong, at this time, it must be a competitor who knows our business layout very well, otherwise they won't move so fast, our plan is to officially start the project when we come back after the year, and we can be caught off guard by choosing to shoot at this time!" Qi Min slapped the table angrily, his eyes showing ruthlessness.

"Let's take a look at the idea of the whole thing, from the beginning of our company's meeting to announce that we want to be our own short video platform and social e-commerce, the project has been in trouble three times and twice since the project was launched, either the company has an internal ghost, or someone outside has dug a hole for us. In addition, when Han Zheng later found me, he revealed to me that the murder of Annanhua was not so simple, and that the people behind it existed among the people around me. I propped my hands on the conference table, looking at the mind map that I had just written on the whiteboard while talking, "The origin and interests of all disputes can never be separated." So, whose cheese are we moving?"

"You reminded me: Wang Hao! This grandson has been keeping a low profile for more than a month, and there has been no movement at all, didn't he even threaten to give us a 'second gift' last time? Do you say that there is a possibility that the customer and us have terminated the cooperation this time because he did it?" Qi Min was excited, picked up the red marker, wrote Wang Hao's name on the whiteboard, and then drew a circle.

I suddenly remembered that before we went home for the New Year, it was the night when Han Yue and I went to have dinner together at Qi Min's house, and we almost had an argument in the car, and we were talking about Wang Hao, Han Yue said at the time that their whole family did not move at all, and the dinner party that should have been agreed to be held by the two families together was not held as scheduled, so where are Wang Hao and the others now?

Vaguely, I feel more and more that Wang Hao is hiding a big secret, like a layout, and we are just small people in a certain link in this "bureau...... Thinking of this, I immediately called Han Yue, but I received a voice message with a shutdown reminder, you must know that Han Yue rarely shuts down.

Qi Min asked suspiciously, "What's the matter, didn't you answer the phone?"

"She turned off her phone, did you tell Han Yue about this before you told me?"

"Yes, I contacted Han Yue after I made the phone call with you, after all, she is also one of the shareholders of the company...... Hey, no, hiss~ When you say this, it seems to remind me again, since I told Han Yue about it, it has been several hours now, and she hasn't replied, and now, it's turned off......" Qi Min wanted to speak and stopped, probably guessing what I was thinking at this time.

I exhaled and looked at the time on my phone, it was already half past eleven, "Let's do this tonight, we will come to the company early tomorrow morning to assign work, and then go to the customers who have canceled the cooperation, one by one, you will send me the details of all the customers who have canceled the cooperation at present, and I will go first." ”

"Hey, wait a minute......

I had already walked out of the conference room, and I didn't pay attention to what Qi Min was saying behind me. After going downstairs, I drove to the neighborhood where Han Yue lived.

I drove very fast, and now it was late at night, and the whole journey was smooth, and it took me more than ten minutes to arrive at the community where she lived. Han Yue had left me a key card before, so I reported my room number and showed my key card, and the security guard let me in.

When I got to the house where Han Yue lived, I knocked on the door first, but there was no movement, "Yue'er, it's me, are you at home?" After a while, I suddenly heard crying in the house, but it was a very low voice. At this time, I couldn't hold it anymore and took out my key card and opened the door.

"Yue'er, are you at home?" I whispered, turning on the lights in the room at the same time, and then noticed that the crying was coming from the location of her room, so I tiptoed into the door of her room and carefully unscrewed the lock.

Sure enough, the person who was crying was Han Yue - at this time, she was clasped on her knees, curled up in the corner next to the bed, her hair was messy, her eyes were red, and she was still sobbing from time to time.

"Yue'er, what's wrong with you?" I hurriedly walked over and half-squatted, putting my hands on her shoulders, "What's going on?"

As if she had found a warm support, Han Yue opened her hands and hugged me tightly, and then cried loudly and said, "Cheng Ting, Wang Hao has been arrested and investigated!"

"Arrested? Why? What the hell happened?"

She slowly let go of me, sniffed, and said, "Tonight, we had dinner with Uncle Wang (Wang Hao's father) and his family at our house, but not long after the dinner began, a few strange men suddenly came to the house, saying that they were criminal policemen, and after showing their documents, they took Uncle Wang and Wang Hao away...... My dad had already taken care of it, but he just wouldn't let me get involved, and it's been an hour now, and it hasn't worked......"

I was silent for a while, and then asked softly, "Then why were they taken away for investigation?"

"Alleged infringement of trade secrets and ...... Transnational smuggling. Han Yue closed her eyes with a painful expression, "Impossible...... How could Wang Hao and Uncle Wang do such a thing!"

Seeing Han Yue showing such emotions for another man at this time, I didn't feel so good in my heart, maybe it was jealousy, maybe it was the emotional gap, or maybe it was both, which made me feel strange at this time.

I gently took her into my arms and soothed, "Okay, it's okay, I'm here with you." ”

After a while, Han Yue's mood finally calmed down, and she slowly raised her head, "Aren't you still at home, why did you appear in Guangzhou?"

"Qi Min called me in the evening and said that the company had negotiated a good customer suddenly in the afternoon a few people said to cancel the cooperation, I had to drive back, back in the company and Qi Min to discuss how to solve, he said that this matter also sent a message to you, but you did not reply, I called you again when your mobile phone was turned off, so I had to come to the community to find you. I sat down with her on the wooden floor and explained why I was in front of her.

Han Yue got up and rummaged through things, looking for her phone, and finally I found her phone under the bed, and there was an obvious crack on the phone screen, I really don't know what happened to her before I saw her.

"I'm sorry, my phone is dead. ”

"It's okay, it's good to see you. ”

I stayed here with Han Yue for the night this night, and she wanted her to stay, and I didn't worry about letting her stay alone in the house now. After calming her down, I went downstairs to get a new set of clothes in the car and smoked a cigarette downstairs.

When smoking, a flickering street lamp, the wiring problem caught my attention, and suddenly I felt that I was a bit like this street lamp at this time, flickering bright and dark, sometimes good and sometimes bad, whenever I felt that my life had improved a little, suddenly because of some accidents, I was beaten back to the original shape - you know, this year is only February, and it is another year at the beginning of the year ushered in a bad start......

A cigarette smoking, while I snuffed out the cigarette butt, my emotions were also buried in my heart, I turned around and walked into the elevator with my backpack. When I returned to the house, I found that Han Yue had fallen asleep with a big bear doll in her arms, so I breathed a sigh of relief, carefully went to take a bath, and then went back to the room and replaced the big bear she was holding in her arms with me, and then we fell asleep peacefully.
