Chapter 171, how thin a life has been a red face since ancient times!

The manager on duty walked up to Qiu Yanmei and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry." Mr. Li has just gone out and may not be back until later. ”

She can't say 'Li always says she's not there', right? Leaders can talk so casually, but they, who are subordinates, have to find a way to help the leader lie.

"Oh. Is it? Qiu Yanmei smiled and asked, "Do you have another exit for Allure International?" It doesn't matter, I have a lot of time. Just sit here and wait for her to come back. ”

With that, he walked to the sofa in the reception hall and sat down.

"That's right. Please pour me a glass of water. Qiu Yanmei said. Then he took a few magazines from the newspaper shelf behind him and put them in front of him, a picture of a posture ready to fight a protracted battle.

After the manager on duty poured water for her, she had to run over again to report to Li Qingcheng.

"Mr. Li, she doesn't want to leave. Sitting in the reception hall and saying it was waiting for you to come back. Said the duty manager.

"Then let her wait." Li Qicheng said without raising his head. She is busy with the investment plan of the military-industrial complex. The big boss doesn't care about things, and the formulation of these big frameworks can only be completed by her.

"Yes." The manager on duty no longer bothered, and went out quietly with the door.

When the office door closed again, the powerful hand that was tapping on the keyboard suddenly stopped.

Irritably, he got up from his chair, opened the curtains and looked at the city hidden in the mist, and felt an indescribable sense of depression in his heart. It's as if there is a big invisible hand that has been trying to control and influence your every word and deed.

Those tall buildings have reached into the sky, but how can they escape the thick fog?

"Or is it because you're not strong enough?" Li Qicheng thought in frustration.

Why don't they let themselves go?

Qiu Yanmei flipped through the new magazines this month, and she looked at it with relish.

Her demeanor is very elegant and her expression is very serene. Sitting in the reception hall of Allure International is like sitting on the sofa of your own home.

The guests who came and went all looked at her, and she didn't care in the slightest. Someone saw her outstanding appearance and came over to greet her. She also coped with it decently. Not distant, not close.

She waited patiently, waiting for the result she wanted.

The bodyguard who drove Qin Luo back had already returned, waiting outside the door. He knew his master's xìng grid, so he never came in to urge.

When the pendulum on the wall of the hall turned to the direction of nine o'clock, Qiu Yanmei had been waiting for three hours and forty-five minutes, and the manager on duty finally appeared in front of her again and said, "Hello, Mr. Li invites you to her office." ”

"Thank you." Qiu Yanmei sincerely thanked her. But they didn't say something to the manager on duty, 'What? You're finally back? Or, 'Will she meet me?' and so on.

Women like them have excellent cultivation, and they know that it is useless to embarrass these subordinates, and they can only give people a sense of inferiority by bullying others.

And those who really like to bully people everywhere are actually the sons of some officialdom outbursts or those who have little power.

Under the leadership of the manager on duty, Qiu Yanmei came to Li Tingcheng's office on the third floor.

The manager on duty stopped at the door and said, "Mr. Li said, you can go in directly." ”

"Thank you." Qiu Yanmei said again.

When the manager turned to leave, she reached out and twisted the doorknob and gently pushed the office door open.

Li Qingcheng was still sitting in his office chair, without standing up to greet him, and said calmly: "I know you came to Yanjing." I also know that you have become the hostess of the ladies club. What I don't understand is, is it necessary for us to meet? ”

Qiu Yanmei walked in front of Li Qingcheng, pulled out a chair opposite her and sat down, looked at her seriously and with a hint of doting, and said, "In my opinion, I have ten thousand reasons to come to see you. However, in fact, it is not used that much. All you need is one. ”

"Say it. What do you want? Li Qingcheng said succinctly and crisply.

Qiu Yanmei chuckled and said, "I know that your career has been going well recently. Allure International has received a large order from the military, and the Chinese Medicine Association in which you have a stake is starting to get on the right track - but these don't impress me. ”

"I thought you were entrusted to me to ask for these inheritances." Li Qingcheng said with a chuckle. A charming face.

If an outsider is present, you will find that these two women who are also amazingly beautiful are actually somewhat similar between their eyebrows and eyes.

"You're thinking too much." Qiu Yanmei shook her head. Looking at Li Qingcheng's bright smile and sighed softly.

When did she learn to smile like that?

That smile is just an illusion, happy on the surface, but bitter in the heart.

"Well, give me your reason for coming. It's getting late, and I think I'm going to get off work. Li Qingcheng said.

"They want you back." Qiu Yanmei said.

"Go back? Where to go? Li Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, and then the smile on his face became even happier.

This time, it's a sarcastic laugh.

"Enemy." Qiu Yanmei said.

"Oh? Why? Back then, there was a stupid woman who knelt on the ground and pleaded, and they didn't want to accept it. Now, how can you be gracious to another woman? Li Qingcheng's eyes are as sharp as an embroidery needle, and each one can be pierced into people's hearts. This kind of look can make people feel pain.

"What happened back then was indeed his fault. But you also know that everyone has their own rules. The old man disagreed, how dare he lead people into the door? ”

Syllable!

Li Qingcheng slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Is this a reason? That's why you came to intercede for him? As a man, if you can't take responsibility for your actions, then take care of your and don't make mistakes. What is he shrunken in? Still a man? ”

"Allure, you know, he was married at the time. There is also a seven-year-old daughter. If you let your mother in at that time, it will affect the reputation of the enemy. Qiu Yanmei was not annoyed or angry, nor did she move at all, as if she hadn't heard Li Qicheng's fierce dirty words, and persuaded gently and patiently.

She didn't deliberately avoid anything. These things are the facts. She's a smart person, and she knows so is Li's Tilt. So, she told the truth in every word. Even if it hurts others.

She knew that once she hypocritically said all the good things and excused the family or the man in every possible way, then this was the end of today's conversation.

"yes. So your surname is Qiu, and my surname is Li. You are the eldest lady of the enemy family, flattered and respected, and you are in charge of the most powerful celebrity club in Yanjing. And I'm going to work my own, say good things, lose all smiles, and occasionally have to be taken advantage of—since that's all predestined from the start. What are you still looking for me for? Underneath Li Qingcheng's calm voice, there was a suppressed pathos waiting to erupt.

Qiu Yanmei's face also became heavy, and she said, "I know what you have suffered. To the best of my ability, I would like to try to help you share some of the burden. When your salon was just opening, you turned down the acquisition of Federal Lommi. Their boss wanted to secretly retaliate, so I found someone to buy the Federal Le Mill. You refused Director Du's request for a late-night talk, he wanted to shut down your shop, I had someone give him a million, and then someone reported him for corruption and threw him in jail - as long as you are willing to go back to the enemy's house, that will never happen again. Your family will definitely compensate you for what you have suffered before. ”

"Compensate me? Do I need them to compensate me now? I am not short of money, I am not short of men, I have my own business. What can they compensate me? Those who died, what compensation do they use? ”

Qiu Yanmei's face was gloomy, and he said: "Allure, there are some things, let it pass when it's over." ”

Li Qingcheng sneered and said, "Let it pass? Anything can pass so easily, how can there be such a thing as hatred in the world? ”

"Allure, you're a smart man. Why are you so stubborn about this? If you are willing to go back, your world will be completely different in the future. Qiu Yanmei said. The old man is old, and his health is not as good as before. They will be happy if you can go back. ”

Li Qingcheng laughed, laughing breathlessly. After a long while, he gradually calmed down and said, "If you say that they will be angry when I go back, I can appear in front of them tomorrow." ”

“――”

"You don't have to persuade me anymore. I won't be going back. At least, not now. Li Qingcheng said. My world is different anymore, and that's because I'm working on it. I don't need to rely on anyone else for anything. Not before, and not again. ”

"What about Qin Luo? Aren't you relying on him? Qiu Yanmei asked with a smile.

"He? It's my little man. I relied on him for granted. Li Qingcheng said.

"It seems that I can't convince you." Qiu Yanmei said.

"You should have thought of that when you decided to come."

"Yes. I've got it. But I still want to try. Don't you think? Our xìng lattice is somewhat similar. ”

"But none of the paths are the same."

Qiu Yanmei stood up and said, "Think about it again." If we agree, we'll go back together. This year, the family will be able to reunite during the Chinese New Year. ”

"We can't be reunited." When she closed the door and left, Li Qingcheng muttered.

Open the drawer and take out a wooden picture frame from inside. In the middle of the frame is a black and white photograph. It was a girl with her hair coiled, wearing a well-cut cheongsam, holding an oil-paper umbrella, leaning on the railing by the lotus pond, and smiling as sweet as a flower.

"They told me to go back. But I refused. It's what you want, but it's not what I want. Li Qingcheng said to the photo.

"They can get you back, and they can get you out. Our fate is still in their hands. ”

"I'll go back. At that time, I was going to be the master of the enemy's family. Li Qingcheng said with a resolute look in his eyes.

"At that time—at that time, no one could kick us out anymore. Never. ”

Li Qingcheng's voice was choked, and two lines of tears dripped down his cheeks. Tears slid down the frame in his hand, as if the charming woman in the photo was also crying silently.

Since ancient times, there has been a lot of life!
