Chapter 5: I'm Back
"It's me, Li Li, it's really me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info" Qi Haoran took Alley's hand and rubbed it against his somewhat rough face, "I'm back." β
"That fire burned down our home, Aunt Shen...... Aunt Shen never came back. Alley covered her mouth in tears of excitement and disbelief, "Later, my aunt and I went back to look for you, but we never found you again. We thought you ...... I thought you and Aunt Shen were buried in the fire together. β
"In order to save me, my mother gave me a wet towel soaked in water, pushed me out of the balcony, and locked the balcony door. Qi Haoran's deep gaze began to dim and sad, "But she herself ...... Later, firefighters came and rescued me from fainting, and then I was taken to an orphanage. One year later, my biological father, Qi Zhenbang, returned to China and brought me back to Singapore. I have a new name, Qi Haoran. Li Li, do you know? I'm here for you. β
"No......" Alley instantly broke free from Qi Haoran's embrace and shook his head desperately, "I can't go back, I can't go back." β
Qi Haoran hugged Alley into his arms hard, holding her face tightly, as if he wanted to engrave the thoughts of this face for 15 years into his mind, and kissed Alley's red lips that were slightly open because of excitement.
Alley's petite body seemed to melt in Qi Haoran's arms, so deep that it was almost rubbed into his body. Qi Haoran opened Alley's teeth domineeringly, sucked her fragrant tongue hard, and hugged Alley's body tightly with two big hands, as if he was afraid that as soon as he let go, the woman would disappear from his arms. For a long time, it was not until Alley's lips were red and swollen from his kiss that he reluctantly let go of her.
"I know what happened to you in the past, I know it. Qi Haoran took Alley's hand and put it to his lips and pecked her palm, "But, Li Li, believe me, from now on, I will do my best to love you, and I will make you the happiest woman in the world." Qi Haoran's woman. β
"No...... It's impossible...... Hebai," after a pause, Alley called softly, "Haoran...... It's been 15 years, and I'm no longer the little sister of the neighbor I used to be. You know what, my fiancΓ©...... Died for me, I and his children were not saved, and my aunt was gone...... The people around me eventually left me, this is my life. β
"You know, I never believed in fate. Qi Haoran pressed against Alley's forehead and imprinted a deep kiss on the tip of her small nose, "Back then, I gave up on myself and was so stubborn, but you never gave up on me, you told me that fate is to be fought for by yourself, and you can't complain." For so many years, I have remembered your words back then, and I have never given up on myself. Everything I do is for this day, and I want to give you happiness with my own hands. β
Alley was speechless. At this moment, the memories of the past overturned the sea and ravaged every cell of her body, and those painful pasts were like re-cut wounds, making her breathless. Shen Hebai, Dahuo, Aunt, Li Mo, unborn child...... In her mind, it was like a movie. She closed her eyes and let the tears that burst out of her eyes flow wildly. Yes, Li Mo, the man who died in order to make her live a good life, the man she owed all her life.
Alley opened his eyes, pushed Qi Haoran away fiercely, and then snatched the door away.
Qi Haoran clasped his arms in front of his chest, staring into the distance with deep eyes, a masculine and angular handsome face tensed tightly, quietly smoking by the window.
Alley will refuse, will resist, these are the reactions he expected. Over the years, that woman has not had a good life, he knows it. But... But the stubborn Alley never seemed to change, her strength, her coldness, and her persistence seemed to be doomed. In the most drastic way, she rejected his affection and disrupted all the arrangements he had planned for her. Qi Haoran took a deep breath and rubbed his temples. This stubborn little woman really hurts his nerves. If a woman over the age of 30 can still be called a little woman. Thinking of this, Qi Haoran not only smiled dumbly.
There was a beeping beep from the intercom on the table. Qi Haoran glanced at it and knew that there must be a "distinguished guest" coming to the door, otherwise, it would be impossible for the doorman at the bottom to pass through layers of monitoring, transmit the information to his personal assistant, and finally transfer it to him.
"I'm waiting in the living room. Leaving this sentence briefly, Qi Haoran put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked leisurely towards the living room.
"Mr. Qi. "The person who came was Chen Yifan, the chairman of the government direct investment company and the big boss of Alley.
Qi Haoran seemed to have expected Chen Yifan's arrival, waved his hand, and said a short word "sit". The secretary on the side had already tacitly brought two cups of South African black tea.
"Mr. Qi, you may not know that we are a government direct investment company, which is fundamentally different from other enterprises, and we have a lot of power...... To put it more bluntly, we serve the government and are responsible for attracting foreign investment. In China, the government attaches great importance to foreign investment...... "Chen Yifan sat very relaxed in the large and comfortable leather sofa in the living room, his huge body showing the style of an official.
Qi Haoran narrowed his deep eyes, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but it was only a flash. He turned his head to Chen Yifan and stared at him for a few seconds.
"I want this land. Qi Haoran's words were still short and powerful, "But...... I have one condition. β
Chen Yifan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Qi Haoran said "I want this land", and it is obvious that he has decided to photograph this land. The government has positioned the land as commercial land, which means that Qi Haoran must build the land as a large shopping mall, office building or other commercial building. But no matter what kind of building it is, the right to use this remote plot of land can be sold smoothly, and he, the chairman of the government's direct investment company, can be regarded as a handover to the officials above. "It's billions of land transfer money again. Chen Yifan snickered in his heart.
"There's a young lady named Alley in your company. Qi Haoran lowered his head, patted his shirt very casually, and blew on the cufflinks again.
"What does Mr. Qi mean?" Chen Yifan looked dazed.
"Oh, it's nothing. Qi Haoran still fiddled with his shirt, "I have a friend who is Shaodong of Dafeng Bank, this friend of mine, I heard from one of my customers that he was strongly recommended by Miss Alley, so I cooperated with you to photograph the land in the reservoir." You know, this piece of land ...... It's hard to shoot. In this way, if Mr. Chen agrees to help with this, then our business will be... Deal!"
Qi Haoran suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Yifan with blazing eyes.
"Mr. Qi, I still don't understand. Miss Alley is indeed an employee of my company, but ...... What do you need her to do for Mr. Qi?"
"Mr. Chen still doesn't understand?" I mean..."Qi Haoran dusted off his tie, suddenly raised his head, and said categorically, "I hope you can convince Miss Alley to go to my friend's Dafeng Bank as the general manager of the e-commerce department." Of course, I hope Miss Alley is... If she is willing to go, she is not in this deal. β
At this time, Chen Yifan suddenly realized. Qi Haoran and Qi Gongzi fell in love with the woman named Alley under his command. It's just that he is very strange, the employees under his command can't even recognize him, when did Qi Haoran meet this employee named Alley? Moreover, the woman Qi Haoran likes can spend money to conquer the other party, so why bother to get the other party into some bank?
But no matter what, Chen Yifan didn't have much time to think and analyze, because Qi Haoran's sharp gaze always lingered above his head. This man really gives people an indescribable sense of oppression.
"Okay, I'll try and convince Miss Ai ......" Chen Yifan hesitated for a moment, and then said, "But, Mr. Qi, to be honest, I can't guarantee anything, it depends on Miss Ai's own meaning." β
"I don't want Miss Ai to know the content of our conversation today, of course, if Miss Ai's business can't be done, then our deal may not be ......" Qi Haoran pursed the corners of his lips, evoking a vague smile, "However, I know that Mr. Chen naturally has a way." β
Chen Yifan's method seems to be a little simple and crude. Within a day, without giving any reason, he dismissed Alley as deputy manager of the marketing planning department. Alley, inexplicably unemployed. Losing her job is equivalent to losing her financial resources, and Alley can't help but worry about her future life. At this time, the administrative director Luo Shanshan stepped forward. She privately told Alley that she had such a relationship that she could introduce Alley to Dafeng Bank for an interview, and described the generous benefits of Dafeng Bank in this way. For an inexplicably unemployed and upset woman, she didn't think much about it carefully, so she gratefully accepted Luo Shanshan's "kindness".
"Thank you, Mr. Luo. When I find a suitable job, I will definitely thank you. Alley held the large and small items he had packed, stood at the elevator entrance of the corridor and said to Luo Shanshan, his eyes were full of gratitude, "Thank you very much." β
It didn't seem to take much effort, and Alley successfully embarked on the "noble lady's road" carefully arranged for her by Qi Haoran. Although she is over 30 years old, the simple-minded Alley does not seem to have any idea what fate awaits her in the future.
Qi Haoran shook the glass in his hand twice, and the dark red liquid flowed slowly on the wall of the cup, shining with crystal light under the illumination of the light. As soon as he raised his head, the liquid in the cup instantly flowed down his throat and into his chest. Qi Haoran listened with satisfaction to Ding Kai's playful ridicule in the huge leather sofa behind him, and seemed to be in a particularly good mood.
"I said, Young Master Qi, you shouldn't be here for real, right?" Ding Kai frowned a little exaggeratedly.
"When did I 'come' to fake?" Qi Haoran turned his head to Ding Kai, the corners of his lips slightly raised, but it was not easy to be noticed.
"Don't tell me you want to be with this woman for the rest of your life. β
"Why not?" Qi Haoran narrowed his eyes and put one hand in his trouser pocket, "I just want her." β
"Damn!" Ding Kai shook his head vigorously, loosened his tie, and glanced at Qi Haoran with a slightly "hateful" look, "If Godmother and Yan Yan knew, it would be strange if they didn't kill me." Yan Yan is now 'working' at my place every day. β
"That's your business. Qi Haoran grabbed the coat hanging on the back of the chair and strode towards the office door, "Take good care of her for me." Remember, if she's missing a hair, I won't spare you. β
"Hey, hey, hey...... If Yan Yan knew, how would I answer?" Ding Kai waved his fist behind Qi Haoran with some annoyance.
Qi Haoran did not stop because of Ding Kai's roar, but walked out of the office door in a dashing manner, and the slightly raised corners of his lips seemed to reveal his current good mood.
