Almost in the blink of an eye, Fu Qingci's face changed, and he quickly took Yan Xi behind him as quickly as a calf protector, and asked with a cold and unkind gaze: "Why are you here?!" ”

Her actions were too sudden, which frightened Yan Xi, and she was next to Fu Qingci, staring at Ruan Shu vigilantly and thoughtfully.

Ruan Shu glanced at Yan Xi, and then looked back at Fu Qingci: "Officer Fu, let's talk alone." ”

Fu Qingci was silent, turned his head, and without waiting for him to speak, Yan Xi took the lead and said, "I'll take Ah Needle for a walk." Mom, you and your big sister have something to say slowly. ”

"yes, okay." Fu Qingci touched Yan Xi's hair and said, "Don't go too far, I'll finish it in a while." ”

Yan Xi nodded, and smiled at Ruan Shu before leaving.

Ruan Shu smiled back, and when he turned his eyes back, he bumped into Fu Qingci's still cold eyes.

Without Yan Xi's presence, the two of them had no scruples, and asked at the same time.

"How did you find here?"

"Yan Xi is Chen Qingzhou's child?"

Immediately afterwards, Fu Qing resolutely and firmly denied: "No! ”

Obviously lying. Ruan Shu didn't argue with her about this, and explained the current situation clearly: "Officer Fu, don't misunderstand. I now live at my friend's house on the other side of the river, and when I ran over last night, I happened to meet Yan Xi. ”

"By chance?" Fu Qingci sneered, "If it was a coincidence last night, then you still called him out today, it is obviously an ulterior motive!" ”

"After you happen to meet a child who looks so similar to Chen Qingzhou, if you were you, would you have no curiosity to find out his identity?" Ruan Shu was a little helpless, and immediately confessed, "And...... Sorry, when we went to Wat Pho together earlier, your phone on the desktop vibrate, and I accidentally glimpsed the WeChat message sent to you by Yan Xi. ”

Fu Qingci's face changed again, and he was very angry: "You-"

"Without your permission, I won't tell Chen Qingzhou about this without permission." Ruan Shu interrupted her and quickly and clearly stated his position.

Fu Qingci frowned, looking at her with suspicion, obviously not trusting her.

Ruan Shu breathed a sigh of relief: "First of all, I'm not a nosy person. Yan Xi's identity is purely my personal curiosity to confirm it, and I didn't think about it. Secondly, this is your private matter, I understand your concerns, and if you are offended, I can only say that I am sorry that I happened to bump into it. But I already know it, and I can't help it, all I can do is keep my mouth shut. ”

Seeing that Fu Qingci still seemed to have doubts, Ruan Shu smiled and proposed: "Why don't Officer Fu give me a few good conditions, or take some points to threaten me to keep my mouth shut?" ”

Hearing this, Fu Qingci's eyes immediately mixed with a hint of strangeness when he looked at her, and he didn't speak for a long time, probably weighing the credibility of her words.

Ruan Shu smiled slightly, pursed his lips: "Officer Fu, you ...... has been hiding Yanxi for ten years, not only Chen Qingzhou doesn't know, but the Fu family doesn't know either? ”

"You're asking too much." Fu Qingci said coldly, unusually stern, "Miss Ruan, whether you happened to meet Yan Xi or not, I hope you can keep the promise you just made." Please don't deliberately trick a child out in the future! Don't have any more contact with my son! That's the end of it! ”

After saying that, he didn't give Ruan Shu time to respond, so Fu Qingci summoned Yan Xi, who was not far away.

Yan Xi hurriedly walked over.

"Let's go, let's go home." Fu Qingci wanted to hold his hand, but only then did he find that there was an extra hedgehog in his hand, "Where did it come from?" ”

Yan Xi gestured in the direction of Ruan Shu: "Big sister's Koko." ”

Fu Qingci's brows were furrowed deeply.

Yan Xi looked at her expression and hurriedly said, "I'll return it to my eldest sister right away." ”

walked quickly to Ruan Shu and handed over Koko in the sleeping bag: "Big sister, I'm sorry." ”

Ruan Shu glanced at Koko, didn't answer, and raised his eyes to look at Fu Qingci: "Officer Fu, the matter between adults has nothing to do with children and pets, right?" ”

Yan Xi grabbed the words: "Big sister, this has nothing to do with my mother, I changed the hexagram temporarily." ”

He looks like a little adult again, more than any time in his previous contact, and his words are full of maintenance of Fu Qingci.

Ruan Shu couldn't force it, and took Koko back: "Okay." I understand. ”

"Big sister, goodbye." Yan Xi was still humble and polite, like a little gentleman, slightly said goodbye to her, and then walked back to Fu Qingci's side, and took the initiative to hold Fu Qingci's hand, "Mom, let's go home." ”

Ruan Shu stood still, watching the figures of their mother and son, lowering his eyes and glancing at Koko, and found that Koko's gaze was also fixed in the same direction.

She reached out and stuffed Koko back into her sleeping bag: "Don't look at it, you and Ah Needle have no hope." ”

……

Yan Xi quietly turned his head to look at Ruan Shu, then turned back, looking at Fu Qingci's full face, secretly turning his mind.

Quietly returning home all the way, Fu Qingci asked in detail all the details of the contact he had with Ruan Shu in the past two days.

Yan Xi told each other honestly.

It is consistent with Ruan Shu's statement. Fu Qingci was a little relieved - in fact, after thinking about it carefully, it is indeed more likely to be a coincidence, after all, after so many years, she has tried her best to protect this place, and no one has found out.

But Ruan Shu ......

What kind of fate is this?

However, Fu Qingci still couldn't completely put his mind at ease - no matter what, now that an outsider knows, there is an extra time bomb. Moreover, if Ruan Shu can happen by chance, then what if someone else also has another chance?

It's not that he doesn't know that he has Chen Qingzhou's subordinates by his side who follow him every day. She endured it for several days before she pretended to go into the beauty salon today and the golden cicada slipped out of her shell.

After thinking for a moment, Fu Qingci shook his head: No, she may want to consider changing places for Yan Xi, and she has to call Tan Xiao for a while to discuss this matter.

The neck was suddenly wrapped.

Fu Qingci shook back to his senses, stared, and looked at Yan Xi's dark eyes.

"Are you still mad at me......" his expression betrayed his nervousness.

"Of course." Fu Qingci frowned, "You are still the son of the people's police, don't you understand that children can't talk to strangers casually?" You don't even know the details of other people, but you actually ran out to meet her alone, and a hedgehog sold you? ”

"I was wrong, I was really wrong." Yan Xi apologized again and again, and then said with a little persuasion, "Women are prone to wrinkles when they are angry." ”

Fu Qingci still kept a straight face.

Yan Xi's two little hands were on her shoulders and she was pinched and massaged: "It's so hard to catch bad guys outside, and when you finally come home, you can dissipate your anger." ”

Fu Qingci looked at him quietly for a few seconds, and finally hugged him into his arms: "You also know that I finally came back?" When I came back, not only did I not see you, but I also heard my aunt say that I almost couldn't find you last night, and I kept running out today, and I didn't say who I was going to see, and you were going to scare your mother to death. ”

"I'm sorry......" Yan Xihui hugged her, and patted her back comfortingly with two small hands, as if the roles of the two were reversed at this moment, she was the child, and he was the adult.

Soon, he pretended to be relaxed and said: "The son of the people's policeman will not be abducted by human traffickers casually. I judged that she was not a human trafficker, so I dared to continue talking to her. ”

Fu Qingci sighed: "You are so powerful?" Can you tell with your eyes? Do you have the fiery eyes of the Monkey King? ”

"It's very simple, when that big sister saw my face, she obviously knew me." Yan Xi said, "Or I know someone who looks like me." It turns out that Mom, you do know the big sister. ”

Fu Qingci knew that his observation ability had always been good, and when he heard this, he touched the short hairy hair on the back of his head: "But even so, you can't just make friends with her." ”

Yan Xi lay on her shoulder, her fingers gently swirling on her back, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Does that big sister know Dad......"

He didn't expect him to think so deeply, and Fu Qingci stiffened his back unexpectedly.

Yan Xi sensitively noticed her subtle changes, and hurriedly said, "I'm just asking casually." ”

After the words fell, he left Fu Qingci's arms and smiled gently: "Actually, I went to see my eldest sister to find a boyfriend for Ah Zhen." Mom, did you see that? The big sister also has a hedgehog at home, which happens to be a boy. The big sister has something to do and can't continue to raise, I originally planned to take it in. ”

Fu Qingci glanced at him deeply, didn't turn back, and said on his topic: "I went to the pet store and you asked, you give me Ah Needle another day, and I'll take it to the store to take a look around to see if there is a boyfriend he likes." ”

Yan Xi was silent and said, "Ah Zhu seems to like Koko." ”

Fu Qingci's fingers froze.

In an instant, Yan Xi smiled again: "But Ah Zhen has only seen Koko." It's better to take her to the store to meet a few more boys and let her choose more. ”

"Hmm." Fu Qingci nodded, "Let's go, go wash your hands, I bought you Caprice's macarons." ”

Yan Xi is concerned: "Will you spend this weekend with me?" ”

Although he asked with a smile, Fu Qingci's heart was inevitably stuffy, filled with guilt, and he had the same smile on his face: "Well, I'm here to spend the weekend with you." ”

……

On the way, Ruan Shu had been pondering about Fu Qing's resignation to hide his son.

On the one hand, how eager Chen Qingzhou is to have a child with Fu Qingci, she knows very well, she has seen Chen Qingzhou's persistence in going to the Reclining Buddha Temple with them before, and she has also seen Huang Jinrong's joy on his birthday, thinking that Chen Qingzhou including Huang Jinrong after Fu Qingci became pregnant. She noticed that Fu Qingci's expression was a little weird, but the next morning she received a text message from Huang Jinrong saying that it was an oolong.

On the other hand, how much Fu Qingci didn't want Yan Xi to be discovered, she could feel it. I just don't know what kind of feelings Fu Qingci has for Chen Qingzhou now - since they decided to separate, they still gave birth to Yan Xi, is it because of motherhood's reluctance to have children, or because of ...... Love for Chen Qingzhou?

And why did Fu Qingci hide Yan? Among them, there are three reasons that must not be escaped: avoiding Chen Qingzhou, avoiding the Fu family, and ...... Avoiding Qingbang ......

But there is one thing: she doesn't think that Fu Qingci's strength alone can hide it for so long for ten years.

From the exchange with Yan Xi, it can be learned that Yan Xi and Gege are still different, Gege's life is basically confined to a small space in the Chinese medicine hall, but Yan Xi obviously goes to school normally. If you go to school normally, then household registration and identity are very important, not to mention far away, you can't escape the eyes of the Fu family in the first place, isn't it?

Someone is resigning in Bang Fu, right......

Ruan Shu guessed.

There was one more thing she wasn't sure about: did Fu Lingyuan know about Yan Xi's existence?

Returning home with a full stomach of emotions and doubts, Ruan Shu sat on the edge of the bed and stared at Koko in his sleeping bag.

As a result, this guy still didn't succeed in sending him away......

Yan Xi will definitely not be able to go there, and Fu Qingci's attitude is that he will never agree to have contact with them again.

So do you have to send it back to the Little Animal Rescue Society?

But I regretted it once, and I went to ask Ma Yi again......

His iceberg face was uncertain what he would say.

Ruan Shu's brows furrowed into small pimples—could it be...... ...... does she need to keep it for now?

Koko stared at her blankly, as if he was completely unaware that he had been sent out unsuccessfully.

Pursing his lips, Ruan Shu was about to put it back in the cardboard box first, and when he took it out of his sleeping bag, a small note suddenly fell out.

Stunned, she squatted down to pick it up, and found that it was a string of phone numbers, and nothing else.

Telephone number?

Ruan Shu frowned, and then his phoenix eyes flashed slightly-the only one who could stuff a note into Koko's sleeping bag was Yan Xi......

What does this mean by asking her to quietly contact Fu Qingci behind his back?

Ruan Shu's eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly...... What do you want to do?

Considering that Fu Qingci should still be with Yan Xi at this time, she didn't contact him immediately, but only saved the number on her mobile phone first.

……

At noon the next day, Ruan Shu took the documents and materials and went to the Japanese restaurant that he had booked with Cao Wangde as promised.

Cao Wangde had already arrived first.

When Ruan Shu was led to the box by the waiter, Cao Wangde sat up straight from the tatami mat and greeted even if he didn't stand up: "Miss Ruan." ”

He was still the same as he had seen a few months ago, with a beer belly and a slight baldness, but he felt very energetic, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha.

"Boss Cao." Ruan Shu politely bowed slightly and nodded in return, and immediately sat down opposite Cao Wangde.

Cao Wangde handed over the menu very politely: "Before Miss Ruan came, Cao ordered a part first, and I don't know if it meets Miss Ruan's appetite." Miss Nguyen took a look at the menu and added some more. ”

In addition to his own staples, he also ordered sashimi, salmon sushi and a few teppanyaki. Ruan Shu thought it was all good, and had no opinion, so he only habitually added a bowl of udon noodles to himself.

After ordering, Ruan Shu didn't get straight to the point, and chatted with Cao Wangde about the latest situation in the industry.

After all, she has been out of the way for two or three months, and even if she has recently sent a ruthless attempt to make up for it, more information is unknown to the outside world.

Cao Wangde was very talkative, Ruan Shu took the opportunity to ask a bunch of questions that had been backlogged before, and even some relatively sensitive information, Cao Wangde did not shy away from sharing it with her.

The izakaya is very authentic, and the waiters are dressed in standard kimonos, and the clogs are stamped on and carried on wooden trays.

Because the conversation was in the middle of the conversation, Ruan Shu didn't pay too much attention to the plate when he picked up the fish body to dip it in soy sauce.

Cao Wangde suddenly reminded her meticulously: "Miss Ruan, be careful, that's mustard." ”

Ruan Shu's hand immediately paused, narrowed his eyes slightly, showed a hint of strangeness, and deliberately asked, "What's wrong with mustard?" ”

Cao Wangde was very calm, without any panic, and asked rhetorically: "Miss Ruan doesn't like any food that is stained with spicy?" ”

Few people know that she is allergic to chili peppers. In the past, in Lin's family, the assistant and secretary knew that she didn't like spicy food. Ruan Shu raised his eyebrows, and said, "It seems that Boss Cao cares about me." ”

Cao Wangde smiled: "Miss Ruan is one of the few strong women in our Haicheng, so she naturally has to care." It's a pity that you have left the Lin family now, and Secretary Meng of Sanxin Group has also taken a break for several months due to maternity leave. By the way, I heard that she is about to be promoted to assistant manager. ”

Ruan Shu pursed her lips slightly. She doesn't know what the deputy manager is, but Zhang Weimo has become more and more famous in the business community of Haicheng recently, because her style of work is similar to Meng Huan of Sanxin Group, so some people jokingly call her "Little Meng Huan".

Not to mention, since the title "Little Meng Huan" came out, she really felt that Zhang Weimo and Meng Huan looked quite similar from a few angles.

Collecting his thoughts, Ruan Shu said in a joking tone: "Director Zhang of the Lin family is about to be promoted to deputy manager, so is your Huaxing Director Li also going to be promoted, and the confrontation between the two sides is even more evenly matched." ”

Cao Wangde smiled kindly: "Miss Ruan's idea can be considered by Cao when I look back." ”

"Then if Li Mao is really promoted, you have to tell him that this is my favor." After picking up this joke, Ruan Shu turned his mind to the topic, "However, I asked Boss Cao to come out this time, but I want to ask Boss Cao if he can do a favor." ”

Cao Wangde was a little more upright when he heard this, and made a "please" gesture: "Miss Ruan, but it doesn't matter, Cao Mou listens attentively, if he can do his best, he will help him." ”

His enthusiasm inevitably made Ruan Shu feel a little strange in his heart. Suppressing her heart, she waved her hand: "Boss Cao is so solemn, I am very embarrassed." In fact, it is about the agency of the rice health care product that you Huaxing and Lin compete with this time. ”

"Oh?" Obviously unexpected, Cao Wangde's expression could not hide a trace of surprise. His mind was also exquisite, and without waiting for her to say more, he guessed: "Miss Ruan is also interested in this product?" ”

"Yes." Ruan Shu did not deny it, emphasizing, "Very interested." ”

As she spoke, she took out the folder she brought from the side, but she didn't give it to Cao Wande immediately, but pressed it under her hand and knocked it lightly twice.

This move of hers naturally attracted Cao Wangde's attention and curiosity.

"I want to confirm one thing with Boss Cao first." Ruan Shu asked, "The reason why Boss Cao wants this health care product is more to compete with Lin's, or is it more because of the commercial value of this product?" ”

Cao Wangde heard it: "Miss Ruan's question is very interesting. Isn't the right to compete for agency just to take the product into the bag and put it on the market for profit? Where does the phrase 'compete for the sake of competition' come from? ”

Ruan Shu smiled lightly, a little tricky: "Boss Cao, we all know that when Huaxing was at its lowest ebb, we met a noble man who turned the tide, right?" ”

Cao Wangde didn't answer, and his expression didn't reveal any emotion, just a kind smile.

"Of course, I'm not here to discuss that noble person with Boss Cao today." Ruan Shu got back to business and said, "No matter what the real purpose of Huaxing's competition for this product is, I can tell Boss Cao very clearly that this product is more valuable than you think." Therefore, if Boss Cao can win it, with a suitable marketing plan, he will definitely make a profit. ”

Cao Wangde guessed something again: "Miss Ruan has an internal channel to understand?" ”

Ruan Shu smiled silently, indicating acquiescence.

In fact, her internal channel is Ma Yi. If it weren't for this product, she wouldn't have known that she trusted Ma Yi so much, and Ma Yi's words made her original swing directional and unswerving. At the time of treatment, Ma Yi also complained that she did not give him 100% trust.

She tapped her fingers on the document again, and continued: "The competition plan at that time must examine the comprehensive strength of your Huaxing's brand influence, market coverage, and sales data of past products. It's not that I poured cold water, the fact is that you are slightly inferior to the Lin family. ”

"Your luck is that the headquarters of Sanxin Group did not give any indication in this competition, otherwise you would have been completely defeated without a fight."

This is the information I got from the last time I met Lin Pu.

Ruan Shu took a deep breath and continued: "Of course, this is not to say that Huaxing is bad. Huaxing's momentum is very strong, and the current loss is that the time to enter the health care product market is much shorter than Lin's. I think you know that too. Therefore, you will definitely focus on product promotion and operation to try your best to gain an advantage. ”

Cao Wangde didn't speak, his expression was calm.

Ruan Shu smiled: "Then I can say with great confidence that among you Huaxing and Lin, there is no one who knows this product better than me." Based on this understanding, I made a detailed planning and strategic analysis of the future market CAO of this product. I can't say that relying on this, you Huaxing will definitely be able to defeat the Lin clan and seize the agency, but if you have my cooperation, your chances of winning will definitely increase greatly. ”

Cao Wangde pondered for a moment, glanced behind her seemingly inadvertently, and then turned his eyes back and looked at her: "Miss Ruan doesn't seem to plan to show me your plan first, I don't have a bottom in my heart." ”

Ruan Shu raised his chin slightly, and his phoenix eyes flashed with a strange light: "Boss Cao, my name 'Ruan Shu' and this person are not enough for you to have a bottom?" ”

Cao Wangde was stunned for a moment, smiled, and stretched out his thumb: "Miss Ruan is a good person." ”

Ruan Shu pursed her lips and smiled—it wasn't that she was conceited, she was just confident in her abilities. This is the battlefield she has been galloping on for many years......
