On the marble floor, which was glowing with cold light, there was a crisp sound of footsteps, the sound of sharp heels hitting the ground.

The sound stopped abruptly outside the glass sliding door.

Xiao Ye curled his knuckles and clasped them on the door.

"Come in. ”

Qin Mu didn't raise his head, his eyes fell on the document in his hand.

Xiao Ye gently pushed open the door.

She is a very gentle woman. With soft eyebrows and eyes, an unoffensive voice, and a very tactful personality, the word tenderness is perfect for her.

Everyone who saw her for the first time would be confused by her appearance, thinking that she was just a confidante by Qin Mu's side.

But in fact, Xiao Ye was Qin Mu's most powerful subordinate.

Ten years ago, due to the failure of financing, the Qin family faced the danger of breaking the capital chain and going bankrupt. At the same time, Lao Qin had a car accident. The huge burden suddenly fell on the young Qin Mu's head.

But at that time, Qin Mu had just left the campus, and he was still a very immature stunned young man, not as good as the old fritters in the mall.

Seeing that the Qin clan was about to be defeated at his hands......

Xiao Ye, who was frustrated in the workplace, met Qin Mu, who was drunk late at night. Two young people with the same baggage meet, and Maxima meets her Bole.

"Mr. Qin. ”

Xiao Ye sat down in front of him, with a relieved smile on his lips.

"Congratulations!"

"Hmm. ”

Qin Mu nodded, and put away the two documents in his hand without moving. Only then did he raise his head and look at Xiao Ye.

"Why are you back?"

The smile on Xiao Ye's face was slightly retracted.

At this time, she should have just stepped off the plane from country C to country A. In about five hours, she will attend a meeting as a representative of the client. It would be another three hours before she boarded the plane and returned from country A to country C.

But for some reason she decided not to board the plane. By the time he had completely cleared his mind, Xiao Ye was already standing in the parking lot under the building.

There is always an opening to find a solution, and now is the best time.

"Because I want to congratulate Mr. Qin in person. ”

Xiao Ye smiled sincerely.

She pulled out a red envelope from her bag.

"Congratulations to Mr. Qin, this is my part. ”

Qin Mu looked at the red envelope that was pushed in front of him, and inexplicably felt a little dazzling. But he still quietly accepted the money.

"You don't have to rush back for this. If you handle the project in country A well, you are the best part. ”

The smile on Xiao Ye's face froze.

Her gaze fell on his white hands, and her slender fingers were unconsciously folding the corners of the envelope.

"Yes. ”

She said softly.

Qin Mu raised his eyes and looked at this subordinate. For some reason, he always felt that there was something different about her today, but he couldn't say it.

"Is there something going on in country A?"

Xiao Ye looked at Qin Mu.

He was looking at her too, with a slight nervousness in his eyes.

Oh, yes.

Xiao Ye thought that he always put the Qin family first, for fear that this family business would lose in his hands one day. But in fact, where is the current Qin clan still so easy to fall, and it is not ten years ago.

Ten years ago, he was isolated and helpless, and she was the only trusted subordinate by his side.

But ten years later, Qin Mu has people who are willing to give him the icing on the cake.

He didn't need her anymore.

"No, Mr. Qin. ”

Xiao Ye shook his head slightly, took out a white envelope from his bag, and solemnly pushed it in front of Qin Mu.

"It's my own business. ”

She lightly pressed her hands on the envelope, and said slowly in her neat thoughts: "Look, I have been in your class for ten years, and I have spent all ten years of my blood and youth here. Now that I've had enough of this class, it's time to retire and get back to life. ”

Qin Mu's eyebrows tightened.

Xiao Ye yearned: "When I was young, I longed for the kind of literary and artistic life of opening a coffee shop, raising a cat, and putting pots of green plants by the window." But at that time, I was poor, I couldn't afford to open a coffee shop, I couldn't afford a cat, and I could barely keep a potted plant. So I resigned myself to going to work, and I wanted to save some money and live the life of my dreams. ”

"Then I met you. You are a kind boss and kind to your employees......"

Xiao Ye paused, with a hint of nostalgia on his face.

"You are such a nice owner. ”

Qin Mu's face turned grim: "So I'm so kind, so that I won't blame you for the temporary picking, do you know how much our project in country A will lose because of your irresponsible behavior now?"

He stared at her with a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Xiao Ye, you have never been a ......"

"Am I nothing?"

Xiao Ye withdrew his hands that were pressed against the envelope.

"I'm not an irresponsible person?"

She narrowed her eyes, smiling with self-deprecation.

"Xiao Ye!"

"Qin Mu, you never knew me. What kind of person I am, you never cared. You always want to see what you want to see, and as for the rest, you don't care at all. ”

"You only care about what you want to care. Ten years ago, you needed a long-sleeved man who was good at dancing. So here I am, and I became the one you desperately need. So you really think that's my nature?"

"Xiao Ye, what are you crazy about?"

Qin Mu slapped the table, and Xiao Ye was shocked by him.

Her lips moved.

yes, what is she doing?

Xiao Ye's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

She hurriedly lowered her head and hurriedly dropped a sentence: "It's okay, Mr. Qin." ”

She stood up in a daze, and left the place as if she had fled.

35 seconds ago.

The 35-year-old Xiao Ye abandoned what she had been pursuing for 10 years.

Now she has become a middle-aged unmarried woman with no house, no car and no money.

But she was relaxed.

Because Qin Mu, as well as the Qin family's family business, has nothing to do with her at all now. Sometimes people should give up things that they don't need to force in the first place.

Xiao Ye breathed the air of freedom. Although it doesn't smell good, it smells of soot characteristic of socialized metropolises. Some people will think that this is modern, this is developed.

But in fact, it's pollution. This air carries a myriad of carcinogens, just like the modern cult of money. Even if it can't be touched, it's just a string of numbers on the screen of your phone that changes from moment to moment.

But there are always people who are crazy about it.

They are crazy about their ever-changing materialistic desires.

Not long ago, Xiao Ye was also one of them, and he could even be said to be a representative figure. Like her before, she is generally called a "strong woman".

It's a label.

Xiao Ye was relieved.

Now she is relaxed and has time to think.

She's a strong woman.

She thought, but that was before, and now she is no more. Fighting day and night for other people's careers, who is Qin Mu her!

Why be so nice to him?

Xiao Ye didn't want to argue with him about how much he had paid for him and the Qin family. Because it doesn't make sense at all. She didn't want to stand on the opposite side of Qin Mu and destroy the Qin clan again, which had finally regained her life.

Although this is very easy, maybe just talk about a few projects, and then release the news she knows, or make some means to break the Qin family's capital chain. It sounds simple, but it's not that hard to do. As long as its risk assessment level is repeatedly raised, the bank will not dare to inject capital into the Qin family, and a group of Zhao Qiansun Li Wang will smell the smell and rush over, adding another fire to the difficult Qin family.

There are always too few people who send charcoal in the snow, and many of them will smash another brick when they see you fall.

Xiao Ye is not this kind of person, and she doesn't want to do it either.

So be it.

She thought, she was tired. Then retire today and go back to your hometown to farm. The coffee shop is not to think about it, because she has no money. But there is still an acre and a third of land in my hometown, and there is an old brick house. She can use them to support herself, or open another account and follow the example of people on the Internet to live stream rural farmhouses.

That's good.

She was born and raised in the countryside. If it weren't for the fact that he walked out of that small village when he was in college, he might not have met Qin Mu and couldn't see the flowery world outside. Then maybe she wouldn't have thought so much.

People who have a lot of ideas are always tired.

She habitually went to the underground garage and took out the car keys to unlock them. Only then did I remember that the car was not hers.

But Qin Mu bought it last month, and she thought it was very popular, so she asked him for it. Qin Mu is not short of cars, he has never lacked cars.

Xiao Ye subconsciously wanted to take out his mobile phone and call Qin Mu and ask him to come down and take away the car keys.

But she stopped.

She just broke up with him, so how could she call him?

Her self-esteem wouldn't allow her to do this kind of thing that only a brainless woman would do.

So Xiao Ye put the car key on the front cover of the car, regardless of whether the monitoring here can see it or not, whether someone will come and take the key and drive the car away.

Anyway, everything has nothing to do with her.

She strode outside, her head held high. Because she's supposed to be very powerful.

Xiao Ye thought that it was Qin Mu she chose, and it was also Qin Mu she gave up. Everything was her own choice, and she had nothing to feel sorry for. It's been so long, and they don't owe anyone anything. It's just the end of an ordinary employment relationship, which is normal.

But the dull pain in her chest seemed to remind her that this was not the case.

Ten years of mutual support have long infected her feelings for Qin Mu into something beyond friendship, but something that cannot be spoken. She could have buried it forever, after all, this relationship had nothing to do with Qin Mu.

But when she learned about it from other people, it was not known if it was because she was the last to know about it, or because of some other factor that she was not aware of. Xiao Ye found that he suddenly had an uncontrollable anger.

She could not tolerate a state of affairs going that way. So for the first time, she made the decision to leave the whole team, leave the whole project, and rush back to Qin from the airport. She hadn't even thought carefully about the reason for rushing back, such irresponsible behavior.

Until now everything has settled and there is no way to get it back......

Xiao Ye began to calm down completely and think slowly.

It's over.

She took one last look at the elevator, and the bright red number was stuck at 17. It was Qin Mu's floor, and he didn't come down.

He already has his options.

Xiao Ye let out a sigh.
