Chapter 18 (I)

In the end, Chen Yi persuaded Li Qizhi to give up his plan to marry her, according to his logic, she reversed it one by one, first of all, the reason why he wanted to marry her was because he liked her business acumen and professional accomplishments, he wanted to stabilize the cooperative relationship between the two, and because he liked her a little, he wanted to rely on a certificate to keep her - "Then I think that the equity distribution letter can consolidate our relationship more." Chen Yi replied like this-
Secondly, Li Kezhi wants to have a child to inherit his family business, about this, Chen Yi first stated that as long as he is two years older, he will be labeled as an "older mother" in society.
"If you just want a beautiful and smart child, in modern society, you have too many ways to get it, and more importantly, you want me to be a comrade-in-arms who can stand side by side with you in your career, then do you know that after preparing for pregnancy, pregnancy, and childbirth, I will have to leave the battlefield for at least three years? After the change of imperial power, the new emperor must have an old minister to assist, I think that old minister is me, in you and his side, there is no one more trustworthy than me who has been in the court for decades. β
When the two landed in Beijing, Li knew that there was an extra "sister", and his unborn son had an extra "godmother".
Walking out of the airport, Li Kezhi still didn't come back to his senses, "You are really good at talking and arguing." β
Chen Yi glanced at him and called out with a smile in his eyebrows: "Brother." β
"Ouch, you're ...... Good sister. Li knew that he still liked her, and said regretfully, "Which man you want to marry in the future, you have to bring it to my brother first, and if you are not a hundred times better than me, then I will not agree to this family business." β
Chen Yi sighed, "Then I can't get married." β
Li Qizhi raised his hand and pointed at her, laughing at her for being really good at talking, but in the end he showed an unwilling expression, shook his fingers, and shook his head, "Yes, I hope I have the luck to meet another woman I want to marry, and I can have half of your ability, I want it." β
Chen Yi said: "You will meet, good women are everywhere, but love is difficult to see, but you don't need love." β
Li Qizhi laughed, "I've let you go, why don't you let me go?" His driver drove the car over, he glanced at Chen Yi and motioned for her to get in the car first, but she shook her head, he said, "Isn't it natural for my brother to send my sister home? Don't worry too much, you have already made it clear to me, I am not a man who lacks women, and I will not have to come with you with a dead face, although I call you sister, but in my heart, I will treat you as my 'brother'." β
Chen Yi was resolute, she stretched out her hand and said, "See you in our company." β
Seeing her draw the line so clearly, Li had no choice but to stretch out his hand and shake it, and said solemnly, "See you later." β

Chen Yi didn't go home directly, the company she went to first, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, all the employees were not there, only the security uncle and the cleaning aunt, she returned to her office, turned on the computer to deal with some work that she had been worried about, WeChat Chi Nuo has been asking her where she is, these days she is abroad, he has been worried.
She and Li knew that they were living together on an isolated island, and she didn't hide it from Chi Nuo, the reason was that she had a clear conscience, and secondly, it was used as a layer of insurance, because she was not voluntarily with him alone, if something happened that caused her physical and mental damage, she could ask Chi Nuo to call the police remotely, and the chat record with him was also a piece of evidence.
This made Chi Nuo even more anxious, he had to ask almost every half an hour, "Where are you, is everything okay?", and finally it was really unbearable, Chen Yi had to block him, but she would report safety to him when he slept, "I'm going to sleep, good night." β
As soon as he woke up, he would see countless messages sent by Chi Nuo within two hours, and his tone was both cautious and impatient, "Sister, are you awake?" "Haven't you woken up yet?" "Are you alone? "If you don't come back, I'll have to start a voice conversation." β
"I've come back safely, don't worry. After Chen Yi replied to Chi Nuo, put the phone aside, and continued to tap on the computer keyboard, it was getting dark outside the window, and the cleaning aunt pushed the door to ask if there was anything else that needed to be cleaned, and after getting Chen Yi's reply, she said that she was off work, and when she left, she turned off the indoor lights one by one according to the regulations.
So, only Chen Yi's office in the company was still lit up, after she finished the work, she glanced at the documents piled up on the desktop, which also contained the resumes of candidates sorted out by the personnel department for her, she took it out and flipped through it, and saw Bai Yuyuan, she didn't know what the relationship between her and Bai Qi was, but at this moment, she suddenly dialed her phone by surprise, the other party was surprised, Chen Yi was also a little surprised when she reacted to what she was doing, but she still informed her in a very official tone, after repeated discussions, the company decided to hire Bai Yuyuan, hoping that she could come to workγ
Bai Yuyuan thanked her excitedly, because the decibels of her voice were really amazing, Chen Yi unconsciously took the phone away, but her real happiness also infected her through the microphone, and Chen Yi's vague smile was reflected on the computer screen, and finally put down a stone in her heart.
She doesn't want to get involved in personal grievances at work, Bai Yuyuan is a talent, and after being close to Li Kezhi, she has decided to serve the company wholeheartedly, so she can't be swayed by her feelings to refuse such a promising new force.
After hearing enough of Bai Yuyuan's laughter, Chen Yi said, "Wait for you to come to work." Later, just as she was about to hang up the phone, a thunderclap exploded in her ears, her heart trembled, and she turned around to see the dark clouds outside the window, pouring rain, and the blind voice of the other party who had hung up in the microphone in her hand, all of which constituted a terrifying picture like a doomsday movie.
Chen Yi sat in the chair for a while, thinking about how to go home, and opened the mobile app to select the "errand" task in a flash of inspiration, and asked a takeaway brother to help him buy an umbrella in the convenience store, and after getting the umbrella, she could go home by making an appointment for a car.
She came to the window bored, looked at the heavy rain and thought of Bai Qi, she was used to living alone, she had never been afraid of thunderstorms, but after being with him, she was hypocritical, she was afraid of thunder and lightning and wind and rain, she seemed to be afraid of everything, because he would always take her in his arms earlier and say, "Don't be afraid." "βI'm not afraid, I can live well on my own without youβshe thought.

Hearing a movement outside the door, the little brother who delivered the umbrella came, and he was shouting, "Is there anyone?
Chen Yi opened the door, and the light source behind her immediately spread out, like a red carpet composed of light to the dark office area, and the little brother with a hat and a raincoat couldn't help but raise his hand to block the sudden dazzling light.
"Hello, it's me, thank you. Chen Yi said, walking towards him.
The little brother was one meter tall and in his early seventies, lean and dark-skinned, he rubbed his eyes, saw the woman in front of him clearly, his expression was obviously stunned, and the shopping bag in his hand was not handed out for a long time.
Chen Yi was surprised by his reaction, reached for the bag, and repeated again, "It's my call to run errands, thank you." β
The little brother spoke, his voice was low, and in a pretending enthusiastic tone, he asked uncomfortable affectionate questions, "Miss, why are you still here alone so late? Do you work overtime? Your boyfriend doesn't accompany you?"
Chen Yi immediately became vigilant and said in a hurry: "My boyfriend will come to pick me up immediately." β
The little brother suddenly grabbed Chen Yi's wrist as he tried to take the shopping bag, and the strength he used made Chen Yi subconsciously take a few steps back, he took a few steps, almost talking to her face to face, "It's so late, it's not safe, I'll accompany you until your boyfriend comes to pick you up." β
A bolt of lightning instantly lit up the room, and in this half second, Chen Yi saw the surging malice in the eyes of the strange man, and the shadow formed by the distortion of the corners of his mouth, like the fangs of a demon.
Her hands were tightly pinched, half of her body was pressed against the desk behind her, as if she was pierced by a spear and couldn't move, as a woman, she had assumed countless times that such a situation happened, what should she do to save herself, wolf spray and safety pen have been bought, because she has not really faced the danger, and gradually slackened her defense, she has long been thrown away, and now it has really come to this moment, she is like a bird with wings, because of fear and motionless.
