Chapter Ninety-Seven: Do You Have Time?
The person in charge thought about it, and was a little unsure of what Qiao Twilight meant, wasn't she already the former wife?
But he didn't dare to ask, whether the horizontal and vertical compensation was compensated or not, it was all Qiao Dusk's meaning, and the loss was also the Qiao family's money, which had nothing to do with him, anyway, he just took that little dividend stock plus a considerable fixed salary.
"This year's Haicheng Fashion Week is sponsored by our company, or ......"
The person in charge of the latter words didn't finish speaking, he believed that Qiao Twilight could understand what he meant, if he didn't understand, it meant that he didn't want to give it.
Qiao Twilight thought for a moment, had a plan in her heart, and nodded in agreement.
The person in charge was shocked again but didn't dare to say anything more, so he should go down and make arrangements.
Qiao Twilight rubbed his temples, his brain hurt so much that he couldn't help it, he knew that Fu Tiancheng was forcing him, forcing him to comply, and forcing him to hand over Qiao Anzhe.
The more this is the case, the more he doesn't want to admit defeat, and he doesn't want Qiao Anzhe to become a victim of protecting Qiao's family, just like Qiao Wanya at the beginning.
Qiao Wanya's death is an eternal scar in Qiao Dusi's heart, and he often thinks that if time can do it all over again, he will definitely not let Qiao Wanya make such a sacrifice, Qiao is not worth it, and he doesn't know.
In his eyes, what money and what Qiao's family is far less important than a close relative who is connected by blood, otherwise he would not marry Qiao Anzhe because Xu Ruoou is very similar to Qiao Wanya's eyes, she said that it was to see her, but in fact, it was also to be able to see those eyes more.
Probably with the intention of making up for the merits, the person in charge quickly arranged everything, and when the invitation letter was sent to Xu Ruoou, he also specially informed Qiao Twilight, so Qiao Twilight was much more relieved, while thinking that he might be a little cheap, and on the other hand, he felt that this compensation was still too light compared to what he had done before.
"Mr. Qiao, Vice President Min wants to talk to you. ”
When Shu Ruo knocked on the door and came in, Qiao Dusk's face was not very good, she paused, not without hesitation in her heart, but thinking of Min Ziwen's tone and attitude on the phone, she was afraid that Min Ziwen was really in a hurry and would delay it again.
"Vice President Min?"
Qiao Twilight raised her eyes, not remembering at all that there was a vice president surnamed Min in the company.
"Vice President Min Ziwen, when you transferred her to Africa before, you said that she was promoted to vice president. ”
Shu Ruo felt that she was still thinking too much, no matter how anxious Min Ziwen was, she shouldn't have come to Qiao Twilight, Qiao Twilight didn't have Min Ziwen in her heart at all.
"Oh, what's the matter with her?"
Thinking of Min Ziwen, Qiao Dusk's eyes turned cold, if he remembered correctly, Xu Ruoou would be misunderstood by him again and again, which was indispensable for Min Ziwen's encouragement, not to mention, Min Nanai was not in the company at all, and it was not difficult to guess where the secrets she leaked came from.
"I don't know, Vice President Min asked to talk to you personally. ”
Shu Ruo looked at his nose and nose, and didn't say a word, turning himself into a microphone with no feelings.
"yes, I see. ”
didn't say a call or a no-call, Shu Ruo couldn't figure out what he meant, and decided to treat it as if nothing happened.
Qiao Twilight stayed by herself for a while, feeling awkward, on the one hand, because Min Ziwen had indeed followed him for so many years, not to mention conscientiousness, it was also hard-working. So after these things happened, he really wanted to ask Min Ziwen face to face why he did this.
On the one hand, Qiao Twilight felt that what she did was what she did, no matter what the reason, Min Ziwen was not worthy of being forgiven, but sending her to Africa was already the lightest punishment, after all, selling the company's secrets was an economic crime, and he wanted to really investigate it, whether it was Min Ziwen or Min Nanai, none of them wanted to escape the law.
Tangled and entangled, Qiao Twilight suddenly missed Xu Ruoou very much, if Xu Ruoou was still sitting in the assistant seat outside, he could call someone in without any scruples to kiss and hug, and then ask her opinion by the way.
With Xu Ruoou's character, she probably won't say anything directly, but will say something that doesn't tease him, but what she wants to say is also clear in the hee-hee-haha, and he understands it when he thinks about it calmly.
But Shu Ruo is different, Shu Ruo is just an assistant, even if he asks, Shu Ruo will only say something decent, which is not a suggestion, at best he is a qualified perfunctory boss.
Thinking of this, Qiao Dusk sighed silently, he didn't expect that one day he would sit in the office and miss Xu Ruoou, obviously when he misunderstood her, he wanted to skin her and break her body into pieces.
Misunderstand.
Qiao Twilight's eyes darkened, and she found Min Ziwen's contact information in Africa and called, and it seemed that she was waiting, and when the bell rang, she answered.
"Mr. Qiao, is that you?"
Min Ziwen's voice sounded very different from before, she used to be cold and concise, with an indescribable sense of condescension, but Min Ziwen on the phone was flattering and flattering, so sweet that people couldn't help but want to hang up the phone.
"Something?"
Thinking of the things that Min Ziwen and Min Nan loved to do, Qiao Twilight was disgusted for a while, and resisted the urge to call people back and throw them in prison, Qiao Twilight chose to turn on the amplification and stay away from the skin.
"Mr. Qiao, I want to return to China, my sister can't leave me!"
Speaking of which, Min Ziwen hasn't been gone for long, but she has experienced too many things, and it feels like a long time has passed.
It's just that Min Ziwen can bear things at work, but she never expected that she would receive a call from Min Nanai for a week, and she didn't say anything else on the phone, just kept crying, crying for a while and resting for a while, occasionally asking her about her current work, and still gasping while asking, as if she had been wronged.
But no matter how Min Ziwen asked, Min Nanai never mentioned the reason, and kept crying.
At first, Min Ziwen was still a little confused, but after a long time, she tasted it, and now she has been transferred to Africa, completely away from Qiao's management center, and it is impossible for her to know in advance about the company's decision. Then for Xi Yusi, without Min Ziwen's assistant, Min Nanai's value will become worthless, so there is no need to hold such an arrogant and difficult little princess.
So after persuading Min Nanai to be bloodied for two days, Min Ziwen couldn't bear it anymore and decided to find Qiao Twilight to make peace, saying that she wanted to return to China to take care of her sister.
If it was before Qiao Twilight knew the truth about fooling, Min Ziwen came to the door so loudly, for the sake of the friendship in the past seven or eight years, Qiao Twilight might have agreed.
However, now that Joe Twilight knew everything, she was still on the verge of annoyance, and not being angry at her was already the last mercy.
"Yes. ”
Qiao Dusk thought for a while and didn't refuse Min Ziwen's request, but the next sentence poured a big basin of cold water on Min Ziwen, who was about to pack up and say goodbye to her colleagues.
"After coming back, everyone is a stranger, you look for another career, Qiao's doesn't need a spy who eats inside and out. ”
Qiao Twilight felt that he had made it quite clear, the matter had come to this point, no matter what, he had no intention of calling the police, and he could be regarded as benevolent and righteous to the two sisters.
He didn't expect him to feel that he had given face, Min Ziwen didn't think so, Min Ziwen only felt that he didn't give up, and kept pleasing this Qiao Twilight, listening to it a little crazy.
Hung up the phone in a hurry, Qiao Dusk's face was extremely ugly, obviously thinking of his unconditional trust in Min Ziwen before, he smiled helplessly, and knew more and more about Xu Ruoou's goodness.
"Daddy, you've been distracted lately. ”
Dinner Qiao Twilight is rare to go home to eat, Qiao Anzhe peeked at him from time to time, and when he didn't know how many times he sighed, he put down his chopsticks and whispered.
"Because something was discovered. ”
Look at the huge white solid wood dining table with complete dishes, most of them are Xu Ruoou's favorites, at the beginning, he even deceived Xu Ruoou into living in Qiao's mansion for a long time, and by the way, he told the kitchen to take more care of Xu Ruoou's taste, and then Xu Ruoou left, but the kitchen menu has never changed.
Now only their father and son are left at the table, and they are horribly lonely.
"What's the matter?"
Qiao Anzhe also asked subconsciously, and after asking, he felt that he had asked the wrong question, and was thinking about making up for it, but Qiao Twilight also put down the dishes and chopsticks, and glanced at him meaninglessly.
"I recently found out that I have always misunderstood Xu Ruoou, and, putting aside those misunderstandings, I found out that she is a very good girl, positive, optimistic and kind......"
The more she confronted her heart like this, the more Joe Twilight realized how stupid the decisions she had made, and the more she realized how deeply she had hurt her.
"So the leak of company secrets has nothing to do with her, does it?"
After a short silence, Qiao Anzhe also had mixed thoughts, and he suddenly remembered that when Xu Ruoou was taken back to Qiao's house and thrown into the backyard hut, her desperate and sad expression, and her breathing suddenly stagnated.
At that time, he didn't understand why Xu Ruoou looked at him with that kind of eyes, but now he understood that it was Xu Ruoou who was sending him a signal for help, but because of his preconceived ideas that had been formed, he refused to communicate with her and refused to forgive her.
If he hadn't been so decisive at that time, this misunderstanding might not have lasted so long.
"Then should we apologize to her?"
The world of children is complex and simple, Qiao Anzhe didn't even need Qiao Twilight to remind him to think about all the back roads, he even thought about how he should sell Meng and beg for mercy if Xu Ruoou refused.
"Do you think she'll forgive us?"
This is also one of the reasons why Qiao Twilight has not contacted Xu Ruoou for a long time after receiving the anonymous email, he does not know and is not sure how Xu Ruoou will treat him and Qiao Anzhe after knowing the truth.
"But she told me before that knowing your mistakes can improve a lot, and I think if we don't apologize, things will become more difficult, and apologizing is not an option, but a must, and sooner or later we have to apologize. ”
Every time Qiao Anzhe said a word, Qiao Twilight's mood became even heavier, and by the time he finished speaking, Qiao Twilight had nothing to love.
Qiao Twilight remembered that back then, he just went out to fight with Fu Tiancheng behind Qiao Twiya's back, and Qiao Twilight was so angry that she threatened to kill him with a knife if it weren't for her brother.
He thought that women should be similar, unable to endure deception, let alone misunderstanding.
The most important thing is that the things he did at the beginning were far more excessive and serious than Qiao Anzhe knew, and it was human nature that Xu Ruoou refused to forgive.
Qiao Anzhe waited for a while and saw that he didn't say a word, absentmindedly poked at the white rice in front of him, which had only moved two bites, and sighed oldly.
"If she doesn't forgive, you can pester her to forgive, and running away will only make her go to someone else!"
Qiao Anzhe originally just wanted to remind Qiao Twilight that Xu Ruoou is a very good woman, and at the moment she is still saddled with the name of a bankrupt daughter in the circle of obscurity, once her career is on the right track, her shining point will be discovered by more and more people, and when the time comes, the man who wants to chase her is estimated to be able to go from Haicheng to the imperial capital.
There has never been a shortage of appreciative eyes in this world, let alone someone as dazzling as Xu Ruoou?
But what Qiao Twilight thought of was Xi and Xi, even if Xi and Xi's illness were known to many people, at first glance it might seem unlikely, no one would want to be with someone who would be gone at any time.
Qiao Twilight didn't dare to bet on whether Xu Ruoou would have a compassionate attack, because of his illness, he chose to be with Xi and Xi.
If this bet is lost, the price will be too great, just thinking about Joe Twilight feels that it is difficult to breathe.
"I think she must still care about you!"
Qiao Anzhe didn't know that Qiao Twilight asked Shu Ruo to play his girlfriend in front of Xu Ruoou, so he was very optimistic about Qiao Twilight's apology journey.
Qiao Twilight didn't explain much about this, and even agreed with Qiao Anzhe's idea very much.
Xu Ruoou was stunned for a long time when he received Qiao Dusk's call, and then said the first word, "Hey", there was no surprise or surprise, it was plain and bland, and a little inattentive and dazed.
"Do you have time?"
Such a beginning was only come up with by Qiao Dusk after thinking about it all night, it would not seem overly enthusiastic or particularly unreasonable, and it could also test Xu Ruoou's attitude, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone.
"Huh, are you okay?"
Still in a confused tone, Qiao Dusk made up for Xu Ruoou's stunned appearance at this moment, and also felt Xu Ruoou's cuteness, and couldn't help laughing.
Xu Ruoou felt inexplicable when she heard Qiao Twilight's unsuppressed laughter, if she hadn't confirmed that it was indeed Qiao Twilight on the other end of the phone, she even thought that it was a psychopath who came to tease her.
"Excuse me, are you okay?"
Suppressing his anger, Xu Ruoou repeated it again. The main thing is that Xu Ruoou doesn't know anything, so he can't figure out Qiao Dushi's intentions, so he feels hairy in his heart and a little resentful.
"Well, I'd like to talk to you. ”
Fortunately, the laughter was not long, and Joe Twilight noticed her impoliteness in time, controlled it, and cleared her throat.
"I don't think there's anything else to talk about between us. ”
I don't know why, Xu Ruoou suddenly remembered that when she was just discharged from the hospital, she was under house arrest by Qiao Dusk in the small building behind the Qiao family's mansion, and she could only wander around the room, and she was not even allowed to go downstairs.
At that time, Qiao Twilight was domineering and awe-inspiring, and there was no trace of warmth in her eyes, let alone trust.
For a long time after she left Haicheng, that scene kept reincarnating in her mind like a nightmare, making it difficult for her to sleep, so that she was full of doubts and uncertainties about Xi and Xi's goodness to herself.
"It seems that it is very busy, it is better to say your position, I will go to look for you, I want to say a few words to you, it will not take up your time for a long time, okay?"
Joe Twilight said to herself as if she didn't understand what she meant.
This made Xu Ruoou very annoyed, but he felt strangely happy. Looking at the ward in front of him, Xu Ruoou slowly exhaled a breath to calm himself down.
"Since Mr. Qiao insists, then go to Bo'ai Hospital to find me, call me when I arrive, I'll go downstairs to find you, that's all, goodbye." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Qiao Twilight to say anything else, Xu Ruoou simply hung up the phone, patted his cheek, and smiled at the mobile phone screen, then pretended that nothing had happened and pushed open the door of the ward.
On the hospital bed, Xi and Xi leaned against the head of the bed, and half a meter away from him was a tablet, playing a comedy movie that was very popular some time ago, with tears in laughter, Xi and Xi watched it with relish, laughing twice from time to time and retracting under Xiao Chen's accusatory eyes.
Seeing Xu Ruoou come in, Xi Hexi instantly lost the popcorn in his hand, looking aggrieved.
"You're here, it's too boring to watch a movie with Xiao Chen, you can't laugh to your heart's content!"
As he spoke, he didn't forget to glare at Xiao Chen, like a kindergarten child who sued his parents.
"But Xi Shao, Dr. Liu said you can't be too excited!"
Xiao Chen said bitterly, judging from his understanding of emotional excitement, this kind of movie shouldn't be watched by Xi and Xi at all, if you don't see Xi and Xi's heart rate, it's like a roller coaster, and the difference between the top and bottom is obvious?
"Xiao Chen is also responsible, if you have anything wrong, your family will definitely be angry with him. ”
Only Xu Ruoou dared to say this kind of thing to Xi and Xi, and only when Xu Ruoou said this, Xi and Xi would not get angry.
Xu Ruoou hadn't seen this movie, so he watched it with Xi and Xi for a while, and felt that it was okay, at least she had fewer laughs, but it was undeniable that she was expressionless in many places, but Xi and Xi smiled forward and backwards, and it was really not suitable for Xi and Xi to watch.
So Xu Ruoou didn't think about it, and directly quit the movie and found a documentary to watch.
Xi and Xi looked at Xu Ruoou resentfully, Xu Ruoou turned a deaf ear and watched the documentary with relish.
"I'm not interested in fashion. ”
Xi and Xi pursed their lips, trying to recall Xu Ruoou's already extinguished conscience, but the result was obvious and impossible.
"Xu Ruoou, you will lose your little cutie like this!"
Several times and again the soft and hard walked down, Xu Ruoou did not move at all, and even the corner of his eye was not enough.
"I always thought that you couldn't live without me, I was wrong?"
Xu Ruoou turned his head suddenly, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised, the corners of his lips were raised, and his autumn eyes were touching.
"Ahem, of course you're wrong, how could I be inseparable from someone?
After Xi Youxi lost his mind for a short time, he awkwardly awkwardly awkwardly awkwardly denied Xu Ruoou's idea, only his ears turned suspiciously red.
"That's a pity!"
Xu Ruoou pretended to be lost and sat back, before she could think about how to tease Xi and Xi next, the phone rang, she glanced at the screen and saw a string of mobile phone numbers without remarks but very domineering, just eleven digits, 6 accounted for nine.
Needless to say, this arrogant number must be Joe Twilight.
"What's wrong? Why don't you answer the phone?"
Xi and Xi waited for a while and didn't see Xu Ruoou pick up, so they couldn't help but glance at it curiously, and then they were dazzled by the string of 6 flashes.
"I thought that Siyus's string of nines was already very psychotic, how could there be a more psychotic one?"
Xu Ruoou was cured by his complaint, she glanced at him with a smile, and exhaled like an orchid.
"This is Joe Twilight. ”
After speaking, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded as if Xi and Xi were frozen.
"Okay, I have something to talk about with him, you should be upstairs and listen to Xiao Chen. ”
Xi and Xi wanted to stop, but hesitated and didn't know what position to stop, just a few seconds of hesitation, Xu Ruoou had already walked away briskly, and he didn't even leave a corner of his clothes.
Downstairs, Joe's angry red Lamborghini stopped at the entrance of the inpatient department, attracting people to come and go and look at him as if they were visiting a car show.
"It's coming pretty quickly, so let's talk about it. ”
Xu Ruoou ignored the bright and dark gazes, stood three meters away from Qiao Dusk, and asked with a small face.
"You want to be a sculpture here?"
Joe's eyes gestured around, and indeed many people were looking this way.
Xu Ruoou's chest choked, and she didn't know what to do for a while, she didn't want to be alone with Qiao Dushi, but she couldn't do it if she was shooting a video so aggressively.
So gritting his teeth, Xu Ruoou still got into Qiao Dusk's car, and as soon as he opened the co-pilot's door, a sense of familiarity came to his face.
Xu Ruoou's eyes also darkened, pretending that nothing happened, and he fastened his seat belt.
The sports car sped all the way, and it didn't take long for it to stop on the side of the road, Xu Ruoou glanced out the car window and found that it was facing the entrance of the alley to the teahouse, and he vaguely understood the meaning of Qiao Dusk.
"We don't have anything particularly important to talk about between us, so there's no need to come here, right?"
When she said this, Xu Ruoou didn't even look at Qiao Dusk, she stared at the description outside the car window, and her heart was a mess, without a little charter.
"It's quiet and good for talking about things. ”
Joe Twilight smiled reluctantly, took the initiative to unbuckle her seatbelt, and opened the car door again.
When I entered the teahouse, it was still the original private room, and it was Jasmine Longjing, and the rich jasmine fragrance filled the entire private room.
"If there's anything, Joe can always say it directly. ”
Xu Ruoou smelled the fragrant fragrance of tea, and her mood began to calm down, she rubbed the teacup, her eyebrows and eyes lowered, covering the thoughts under her eyes.
"Then I'll be blunt, Min Ziwen has been transferred to Africa by me, but she may return to China in the near future, and I plan to terminate the labor relationship with her. ”
Xu Ruoou nodded noncommittally and did not speak.
"Some time ago, I also received an anonymous email, which contains some interesting audio and video, and some candid photos, are you interested in taking a look?"
