It's her fault.

It was she who was trapped in the imaginary love web she had woven for herself.

Because I have too many expectations, I am so disappointed.

Not anymore, not again.

Without expectations, there is no disappointment.

She murmured, and her body slowly slid down, into the warm water, letting the water run over her jaw, over the bridge of her nose, over her eyes, over her forehead, and finally over her head.

The underwater world is suffocating, but not as uncomfortable as imagined, but very quiet, unprecedented silence.

If you can't hear anything, you can't see anything, your heart won't hurt.

There was a faint sound of footsteps, and the force of lightning reached into the water and grabbed her arm, and in the blink of an eye she was lying on the edge of the bathtub, panting with her head down, like a mermaid who had been pulled ashore and was dying.

A man's deep smile sounded above his head: "Do you want to kill yourself?" Dead right under my nose? ”

Qiao Du didn't speak, she was choked and coughed, her pale face was full of crimson, her eyes were also red, her snow-white and flawless body was like clotted cream, there were traces of bruises and purples left by him before, and with the movement of breathing, the scenery on her towering chest rose and fell, and her sexual feelings made all men crazy.

This delicate look that can't be killed is really alive.

Fu Jing slid towards the Adam's apple and didn't touch her again, he looked down at her like this, and after a while, his eyebrows were raised, and he sneered coldly: "Don't speak, acquiesce?" ”

"Suicide? Not yet! I'm not as fragile as you think. Qiao Du raised her face, her reddened eyes staring at him, her short hair wet against her forehead, her face was full of water, and she couldn't tell whether it was water or tears.

Fu Jingchao hooked the arc of the cold corners of his lips: "It's best not to be as fragile as I thought." He leaned down, almost touching her pale ear, and a slightly hoarse voice overflowed into her ears: "Although I like to play with you now, if you only have this body left to play with me, then the game will not be fun." ”

Game?

Did he treat him as a game with her?

Qiao Du felt her ears and eye sockets hurt again, her fingers clenched the edge of the bathtub, and her voice was a little tired and mocking: "Fu Jingchao, what I just said is true, please let me go and start your life again, isn't this good?" Why does it have to be this way? With your current status, don't you feel shameless when you bully a girl like this and spread it? ”

He still stood upright, with one hand in his trouser pocket, the other hand raised, and his broad palm buckled her delicate mandible, as if he was playing with a plaything, and smiled deeply: "You also said, with my current status, if I can't even bully a girl, wouldn't it be even more dull?" ”

"Bang-"

Qiao Du swept all the shower gel and essential oil lamp at hand to the ground.

Jingle bell, a wolf's nest.

Fu Jingchao looked at it calmly, the light poured overhead, and the lines on his handsome face were cut into bright and dark shadows, squinting slightly, looking at it coldly, like a king looking down on all beings.

And behind this calmness, there is indifference, indifference.

When whether it is good words or angry throwing, it is like a punch on cotton, those grievances that have accumulated in the bottom of my heart finally erupted, and with powerless anger, a huge force pressed down heavily on her head.

Fu Jingchao glanced down at her crying and smiling face, moved his big hand from her chin to the back of her neck, and pinched it twice: "You can still lose your temper, it means that your physical strength has recovered a lot, and you will be given half an hour to clean up and come out." ”

She tried to talk to him several times, but he was dismissive and refused to talk.

Pack yourself up and come out.

And then what?

Does he want her body again?

Is he still not a human being, he doesn't eat, he doesn't sleep, he has tossed from last night to now, and he has to continue?

Qiao Du frowned tightly, and called in a hoarse and weak voice: "Fu Jingchao-"

Fu Jingchao seemed to have heard of it, his slender and powerful legs bypassed the wolf on the ground, and the tall figure quickly disappeared in the steam-filled bathroom.

Jo Twilight put her hands on the edge of the tub and looked up at the ceiling and took a deep breath.

The pleasure of dying was deeply felt when she sank herself into the bathtub just now.

It turns out that death is not terrible.

When a person is alive, his heart is dead, and it is even more terrible.

……

When she packed herself up, got dressed, and went out of the bathroom, there was no trace of him in the bedroom outside, and then she walked outside, and he was not found in the entire suite.

He's gone.

Qiao Twilight realized this problem and hurriedly went to get the bag, changed into shoes and pressed the password behind the door.

His birthday, wrong.

She remembered Fu Chengrui's birthday, pressed it, wrong.

In the end, she really couldn't help it, and pressed her birthday indiscriminately, right.

Staring at the open door incredulously, she didn't think much about it, and ran out quickly.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Qiao Du rushed to Qiao's office nervously.

Pushing open the door, there were several obviously drunk teacups on the coffee table, and the secretary next to him was cleaning up.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Huang." Qiao Du gasped, unable to say the words of explanation, her eyes stared at the piles of documents on the coffee table, and her heart was heavy: "Did you send it from the court?" ”

Huang Xin lowered his head and was sorting out the documents, raised his head, and saw Qiao Duan, swept away the face that sighed a few days ago, and had a smile on his face: "Mr. Qiao, you came just in time, the people from the court and the bank just left, and I didn't get through the phone call to you all day, so I had to take someone to talk to them by myself." ”

Qiao Dui twisted her fingers in the handle of the leather bag in her hand, and muttered that she didn't know what to say: "I'm sorry, Uncle Huang, I was delayed, and I didn't mean to throw the mess to you to clean up." ”

Huang Xin waved his hand: "Don't worry, you will have the same result." After speaking, he handed over the document in his hand: "Look at these." ”

Qiao Dui frowned, his outstretched hand weighed a thousand pounds, and when he got the document, he looked at a few lines and frowned: "This is ...... It's not ......"

Huang Xin was amused by her stammering voice: "Yes, you read that right, the bank and the court made peace with us, and the bank decided to give us another two months to repay the loan, and the court also withdrew the summons." ”

The news is simply ......

Qiao Du suddenly felt that the whole gray world became bright, and happiness came too quickly.

She was so happy that she spun around in place several times, holding the document and pressing it to her chest, for fear that it would be a dream.

Huang Xin was so happy that he went out with his secretary, and Qiao Du stayed in the office alone, and his excited heart slowly settled.

The strength of her whole body seemed to be drained in an instant, and the whole person was slumped in the swivel chair, looking back at the office where she had been sitting for less than half a month, this was originally Qiao Yuanjing's office, and he spent a lot of time here every day.

Here, it symbolizes the power center of the entire Joe Group.

Here, once brilliant, here, once created one perfect performance after another.

Right now, he was lying in the hospital, unable to speak clearly, and she, sitting here, sitting in this position, could not have the same proud results as he had when he did.

The bank repayment period was relaxed by one month, and the invisible hand that was choking her neck was released, and Qiao's Group was temporarily given a respite.

But what about later?

What will I do next?

A billion loans still have to be repaid.

And it must be within a month.

She knew very well that this was an opportunity that she had with her body, the banks and the courts were on business, and they couldn't give you a deadline because they sympathized with you, and they were tolerant of Qiao's just because of that man.

She knew that as long as he said a word, banks, courts, and even any department that seemed to ordinary people to be iron-faced and selfless would give him the green light.

This is the power of the people.

This is the influence and power that power can bring.

She should learn that.

Learning is the instinct of human survival, she first entered the business world, maybe she is reckless and ignorant, maybe she has no heart, but it does not mean that she will always be in a position of being beaten.

It's man-made - the family motto of the Qiao family.

Grandpa would often say this when he was alive.

In the past, she only passed by the ear, and from today, she has to keep it in mind.

She is no longer the actor Qiao Dui, she is no longer the Qiao Dui who feeds the whole family alone and is not hungry, she is a businesswoman - Qiao Dui.

From today on, she has only one most important identity, businessman Qiao Dui.

She can't rely on others anymore, although Fu Jingchao sarcastically said that she was seducing him with her body, and the words were very ugly, but when she thought about it, what he said was wrong, she encountered a problem, and subconsciously always wanted to go to him, and wanted to use his power to solve the problem for herself.

She completely forgot that they had broken up, that they were strangers, and that what she had enjoyed on him before, she would never enjoy again.

In the future, she can only rely on herself and not anyone.

Qiao Dui, you have to remember, on your own.

You have hands and feet, you have brains, all you lack is experience in the business world, and these are the processes that you will go through.

Don't be afraid, move forward bravely, you have no way out, except for rushing, or rushing.

The happiness of the rest of her life after the catastrophe made Qiao Du feel a lot of emotion, she started to change her introduction on Weibo, and added two words after the actor - student.

It's just that this student has double quotation marks on it.

She took two photos of the scenery outside the window with her mobile phone and posted them on Weibo, the content is: The sun is always after the wind and rain.

Her Weibo has been updated for a long time, and she suddenly changed the introduction, and also posted such an obvious hint of Weibo, and many people left messages in the comment area.

Yin Xiansen: "What kind of stalk do students add double quotation marks?" Did Joe Beauty go back to school? ”

0 bubble: "This photo was taken from the top floor of Qiao's Group, right?" It's beautiful! ”

Qiao Duan replied to Yin Xiansen: "I'm really busy, I don't have time to study, the quotation marks mean that there is no end to learning, there is a lot to learn, from today onwards I will try to do everything well, worthy of the dual identity of an actor and a businessman." ”

Qiao Du replied with 0 bubbles: "Yes, Qiao's top floor." ”

There were a lot of comments and messages, and Qiao Du replied to these two, like dropping a depth charge, and the comments in the comment area surged instantly.

Many people praised Qiao Dui for being close to the people, and said that she replied very patiently.

Qiao Twilight didn't have much time to pay attention to this, so she hurriedly glanced at it and began to pick up the papers on her desk and look at them.

There were two deputies there, and they shared a lot of responsibilities for her, and there were not too many piles on her desk, and they were all very simple official duties.

Qiao Du was busy until dark, and the secretary came in to move the documents out, she relaxed a lot, stretched her waist, picked up her mobile phone and glanced at Weibo.

Huang Xin knocked on the door with a briefcase at this time, because when it was time to get off work, he called her nickname: "Twilight, it's time to get off work, why don't you leave?" It's a strange day to be tired, go back early to rest. ”

Qiao Dui's eyes lifted from her phone, "Uncle Huang, I have something important tomorrow, and I may arrive at the company at ten o'clock in the morning." ”

Huang Xin has always been good at talking, but this time he didn't face her, and said: "Tomorrow is the eighth day of the new year, the first day of official work, the whole company is looking at you, you can't be late." ”

Qiao Du pursed her lips slightly: "Uncle Huang, let's be honest with you, I'm going to see Brother Yun Shen tomorrow." ”

"Yun Shen, that kid is willing to see you?" A look of surprise appeared on Huang Xin's face.

"Well, the deputy director of the detention center personally called me, it should be correct."

Qiao Yunshen grew up under Huang Xin's watch, when Qiao Yunshen was the CEO of Qiao's Group before, Huang Xin followed behind and assisted him wholeheartedly, Qiao Yunshen was arrested, and he was more sad than anyone else.

Qiao Duan looked at the tiredness and concern in the corners of Huang Xin's eyes, and said with a light smile: "Uncle Huang, I've worried you recently, you go back early, I still have something to do here." ”

In her absence today, Huang Xin experienced the whole process from the bank and the court in the morning to the softening of his attitude after receiving a phone call in the afternoon, and then suddenly miraculously relieved and said that he would give them another month.

Everyone knows that banks and courts have always refused to sell anyone's accounts, and today it is clear that they are coming to issue an ultimatum.

He went back to the office and thought about it back and forth several times, thinking that there must be a master behind them to help them, otherwise they would not have passed the test so quickly.

Qiao Twilight disappeared again and was absent from the company for most of the day, which may have something to do with her.

Therefore, Huang Xin walked to Qiao Dui's desk, hesitating to ask clearly, and after thinking about it again, Qiao Dui was vague after appearing today, and it may not be easy to say, so he simply didn't ask, as long as Qiao Shi could be safe for the time being.

Seeing Qiao Du staring at her phone the whole time, and seemed to have seen the webpage of Weibo, Huang Xin said: "My daughter also loves to play Weibo." ”

Qiao Wei heard that Huang Xin was deliberately looking for a topic, pointed to his mobile phone and said, "Uncle Huang, I have initially thought of a few marketing plans to bring Qiao's back to life, do you want to listen to them first?" ”

"Oh, is it? Let's hear it. ”

"Well, that's right." Qiao Du took the mobile phone and glanced at the Weibo page on the mobile phone: "Before talking about the second marketing plan, I want to tell you one thing, that is, I don't plan to give up my identity as an actor, the first movie I participated in a year ago, "Yuanhai", will start on the ninth day of the first month, and I will continue to act after filming this one, but the pace of taking over the drama will slow down, and the focus will mainly be on Qiao's." ”

This is not good news.

Huang Xin said thoughtfully: "Have you thought about it?" You will be very tired this way, although you are young, you don't need to make yourself work so hard, your body is important. ”

Qiao Du smiled absently: "Think about it, don't worry, Uncle Huang, I understand my body, and it will be fine." I am already familiar with the script, and this movie can be completed in two months as long as I hurry up, and I will arrange it in time so that it will not delay Qiao's work. ”

"Okay." Huang Xin sighed: "The filming side was promised by you a few years ago, and it is really not good to break the contract, then you have to work hard in the past two months, and you can't bear it and tell me, don't be tired." ”

"I see, thank you, Uncle Huang." Qiao Du exhaled softly, and a smile shrank on her fair and pure little face: "My first marketing plan is to use my connections in the entertainment industry to expand Qiao's popularity. ”

Huang Xin is not an old school, he is good at accepting new things, nodded and said: "When Dong Qiao was here, I told him that by virtue of your identity as a star or the second lady, you can summon a lot of business to Qiao's Group, which can save money, time and effort compared to shooting advertisements, and the effect will be good." But Qiao Dong has always disagreed, and I can't help it. ”

"Yes, you and I got together." Qiao Du smiled in surprise, "There are also many rich people in the business world today who marry very popular female stars, and every time they appear, they can attract a high degree of attention from netizens, which is an invisible advertisement." This kind of bundle marketing has been tried and tested time and time again, and the results are immediate. Therefore, my first marketing plan is - I plan to ask the advertising agency to shoot a set of promotional videos, invite a few friends in my circle to stand on the platform, and add topics and popularity to Qiao's. ”

This idea was praised by Huang Xin: "Great, then I will ask people to contact the advertising agency now, and I can shoot it immediately after finalizing the time." ”

"Okay." Jo Twilight is glad that her first marketing plan has been supported.

……

As night fell, the two walked downstairs while talking, and Huang Xin asked her about her second marketing plan.

Qiao Du pinned the broken hair behind her ear, revealing the delicate and brilliant gems on the earlobe, and said seriously: "My second marketing plan is that I will hold the first new product launch conference of the new year, and this time my requirements for the design department are that all jewelry styles take the high-end route, and all the design artwork must be handed over to me for inspection, and then cut and processed after passing." ”

At this time, Qiao Dui's whole person exuded unparalleled self-confidence and high morale, Huang Xin was both relieved and happy, and the passion for work was also ignited: "This is easy to do, when Qiao is always there, the first new product launch conference of the year is also very important, the design department was busy with this matter before this year, I will follow what you said, let the design department and the publicity department work overtime for me overnight, and strive to get out of the drawings as soon as possible." ”

-

In the evening, Qiao Du sat on the bed in her bedroom, and she replied to several netizen messages today, and was liked a lot, which made her feel refreshed.

So, she began to contact the matter of filming advertising videos, and the first contact was Xi Yingxuan, and the kid agreed without saying a word, which moved her so much.

The second contact is Kwon Youjian, who happened to have a schedule recently, and he agreed to come down without thinking.

The third contact was Xie Xunqi, and the result was also a readily agreed.

The fourth is Ye Zili......

After a circle of contact, three men and one woman, a total of four first-line celebrities, so easily finalized the time.

In this way, including herself, there are a total of three men and two women, and there is still one female star missing.

Qiao Duan couldn't help but think of Qiao Xinyi.

From her personal grudges, she didn't want to invite Qiao Xinyi.

For the sake of the overall situation, Qiao Xinyi is the daughter of the Qiao family, if there is no Qiao Xinyi in this promotional film, the public's attention will not be placed on Qiao's, but will only attract gossip from all walks of life, pushing the rumors of discord between her and Qiao Xinyi to the forefront again.

Not to mention that the fans of the two sides will have a war of words when the time comes, just saying that her purpose of making a promotional video has not been achieved.

With so many big names, how difficult it is to be able to unify the empty schedule, isn't it a pity to waste a good opportunity like this?

After weighing it again and again, Qiao Wei sent a private message to Qiao Xinyi on Weibo, and after saying this, Qiao Xinyi immediately replied: "Okay, sister, I will not give up if I can contribute to Qiao's family." ”

Since then, all the protagonists of the promotional film have been finalized, and Qiao Du happily hurriedly called Huang Xin, and Huang Xin went to arrange the specific matters of shooting the advertisement.

At about ten o'clock that night, Qiao Du thought twice, logged in to Weibo, and posted the news on Weibo as soon as possible.

Qiao Du V: "Qiao's promotional video is about to start, thank you for having you along the way, love you @Xi Yingxuan @Quan Youjian @Xie Xunqi @Ye Zili @Qiao Xinyi." ”

This Weibo was posted, and the power can be imagined, with 100,000 clicks, 70,000 comments, and 100,000 retweets in just one hour.

Easily, in the early hours of the morning, the news that six first-line celebrities were about to participate in the filming of Qiao's jewelry promotional video became the first hot search, and they properly gave Qiao's jewelry a free publicity.

At one o'clock in the morning, Qiao Du saw this result and breathed a sigh of relief, she went from being disgusted by being on the hot search list when she first entered the entertainment industry, and then to taking advantage of the heat of public opinion with ease, allowing herself to be on the hot search quietly, attracting countless eyeballs.

This change in the middle seemed to her to be earth-shaking.

Now she wants to pick up everything she can use and grasp, as long as the difficulties in front of her are split like stones, she will not hesitate.

Such a woman is full of fighting spirit, but at the same time unfamiliar, which makes her afraid.

She is afraid that one day she will become the world's mouth of the world's sleek, sleek, and profit-oriented businessman.

In fact, it is useless to be afraid.

There was only one path in front of her, and she had to keep Joe's. The competition in the shopping mall is fierce, and the conformist and conformist will be eliminated one day, and she doesn't want to be the loser who is eliminated.

Either you don't do it, or you do what you can.

-

In the evening, at the same time, Liuliwan.

The red Mulsanne drove into Villa 7, and the driver took the suitcase in the trunk.

The plane was late, and he arrived in Licheng in the early morning, Qi Shuang looked very tired, and went into the house first, Fu Sichen was about to follow in, suddenly, his mobile phone rang, and after scanning the content on the mobile phone twice, he sneered, and when the mobile phone was put back in his pocket, the corner of his eye seemed to see a little light outside the door.

Fu Sichen turned his head to look in that direction, bowed his head and explained a few words to the driver, and walked out of the door with long legs.

Opposite the entrance of Villa 8 under the tall and lush tree parked under the Maybach, the black body in the night like a hidden master, if it weren't for the flickering cigarette butt, no one would know that there was a person standing between the car and the wall.

The road at the entrance of the two villas is very wide, the street lamps are soft, and the wind blows the dead leaves on the ground to make a sizzling sound, depressed and lonely.

Fu Sichen turned his head sideways around the car and called softly: "Brother, why don't you enter the house, what kind of cigarette are you smoking here alone?" ”

Fu Jingchao leaned on the side of the car with his backlight and smoked, his cold and handsome side face, his body as strong as a mountain, and his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of cold darkness, still like an oil painting of a king.

He lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, as if he was a little unhappy when he was discovered, and his thin lips spat a faint cyan smoke, and he didn't say a word.

Fu Sichen touched his nose, roughly guessed a few points, also leaned next to his brother, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, took out his mobile phone with his other hand and looked at it twice, and smiled lightly: "Brother, what did I say at the beginning, not everyone knows gratitude, you raised her carefully from a little lamb, who would have thought that it was not a sheep at all, it was a wolf that could not be fed." ”
