When they arrived downstairs in the studio, Qiao Du and Han Yingzi went in together.

In the studio, a large group of people are waiting for Qiao Dui, there are newcomers who have just signed a contract, there are also producers who have come to negotiate work, and there is an important meeting to discuss the next investment in film and television drama projects.

Qiao Du had long been accustomed to it, and instantly threw herself into her busy work.

After all the work at hand was completed, Qiao Du walked out of the studio and took the elevator to the upper floor.

She bought the top two floors of an office building in the Science and Technology Park, the lower floor as the office space for the studio, and the top floor as her private domain.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening, and the night was getting darker.

Kicking off the high heels when she entered the door, Qiao Du stepped on the floor barefoot, too lazy to turn on the lights, walked to the sofa with ease, and threw herself into the sofa exhausted.

But no matter how tired her body was, she couldn't sleep when she closed her eyes, and looked around the huge bachelor apartment in the hazy light, and the loneliness of the mountains and seas was like a wave that drowned her.

How long has it been?

How long has it been like this?

Two years ago, she broke up with Fu Jingchao, and the next day she returned the jewelry processing factory he gave her through Luo Quan, and officially started a new life.

planned to start from scratch, coinciding with the expiration of the contract with the Han Emperor, and met Han Yingzi to join her, her own survival became a problem, and she had to bring a Han Yingzi, and she gritted her teeth and simply decided to open her own studio.

The registered capital comes from the dock that Qiao Yuanjing returned to her, and earlier she gave the dock to the bank when she was CEO, which is her personal asset, Qiao Yuanjing returned it to her after taking office, and she immediately planned to sell it, but the time was too tight, and the seller she found could only take out a part of the cash, and the rest was written with an IOU.

So she used this part of the cash to set up a studio and become her own boss.

Jin Yanxi is the CEO of a venture capital company, and a month after the establishment of the studio, a large number of assistant lawyers came to the door, claiming that they were very optimistic about her and wanted to invest in the studio, not that she relied on Jin Yanxi's funds to set up the studio.

In fact, the studio has today, she has today, and it has nothing to do with Jin Yanxi, except for him investing part of the funds, he has not interfered in all aspects of the operation of the studio, and she is completely alone in management.

At the beginning of the establishment of the studio, she had abundant funds in her hands, and Jin Yanxi's capital was just the icing on the cake, he was just getting dividends every year from the perspective of businessmen and investment.

As for her becoming popular again, she also went through all kinds of hardships, lost some opportunities, and seized some opportunities, and got the script of "Xiaolou Last Night and the East Wind" by chance, at that time, the production company of the play was very small, and the director was not famous, with her ability to distinguish the script, she decided to play the female lead. Due to a shortage of funds during the filming, the filming did not go well, and Qiao Du simply used all the money in the studio's account to invest in the show.

A few months later, once the TV series was broadcast, the ratings became popular and became the dark horse of the TV series of the year, and the studio received a large amount of dividends, which also proved the uniqueness of Qiao Du's investment vision.

The world's vision is always like this, it can't accommodate a woman's success, often those who are jealous will always find all kinds of crimes to press on her, saying, look, she is popular by men, she is on the top by unspoken rules, her success is not remarkable, she has no real ability.

Suddenly, the ringtone of the mobile phone pierced the silence, waking up Qiao Dui, who was finally sleepy.

She got up, touched her phone, turned on the speakerphone, rested on the sofa, squinted her eyes, and whispered lazily: "Hey." ”

"So tired?" The man on the phone heard the tiredness and sleepiness in her voice, and there was a subtle distress in her voice.

Qiao Dui put her arm across her forehead, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, I'm so tired, you're still on a business trip?" ”

"When I go back tomorrow, what do you want? Cosmetics or jewelry? Jin Yanxi was in a happy mood.

"No need, I have a lot of these things, and I can't pile them up at home."

After a moment of silence on the phone, Jin Yanxi smiled helplessly: "Twilight, you are yours, I sent it, can you give me a chance to perform?" ”

Qiao Du's delicate face was a faint smile: "Okay, then you bring me jewelry, I really didn't lie to you, there are too many cosmetics in my home, I endorsed a cosmetics brand a while ago, but I didn't expect the sales to be hot, the manufacturer specially sent dozens of boxes to me in order to thank me, and I sent them to my colleagues in the studio and several more boxes at home." ”

"So that's the case, I really envy those cosmetics that can get along with you day and night." Jin Yanxi smiled lowly: "Why don't you wait for me to go back on a business trip tomorrow to see you directly, and you can go to your house to see how your house is full of cosmetics?" ”

They are all adult men and women, this kind of drunkard does not understand the meaning of the wine as soon as he hears it, Qiao Duan did not speak, in fact, Jin Yanxi has already mentioned it several times to come to her to have a look.

She was about to refuse, but Jin Yanxi followed and whispered, "Twilight, I'm serious about you." Now that you've agreed to my request for a relationship, I should get as close to you as I want, what do you say? ”

Qiao Du nestled on the sofa and looked at the ceiling shrouded in darkness, didn't speak for a long time, and finally said, "What time is your plane tomorrow?" I'll pick you up. ”

"Nine o'clock in the evening." Jin Yanxi was overjoyed.

"Okay, I'll pick you up on time."

Putting down the phone, Qiao Twilight sat in the dark for a while, reached out and turned on the retro floor lamp on the top of the sofa, the light flowed, and she hugged her knees and buried her face in it for a long time, so long that it seemed to be petrified.

The next day, at six o'clock in the evening, a theme restaurant.

Qiao Du entered the restaurant and felt that something was wrong, today was the weekend, but there was no customer in the restaurant, she glanced around lightly, and walked towards the window seat with the best view of the whole restaurant under the guidance of the waiter.

"Sister Qiao Duan."

"Sister Qiao Duan."

The five young men and women at the table spoke in unison, very respectfully.

Qiao Du looked at the artists in his studio, nodded with a light smile, sat down on the vacant seat, took a sip of the lemonade sent by the waiter, and said with a light smile: "You have also learned to charter the venue, who can't celebrate their birthday today?" ”

Chai Mengjie looked at Qiao Du opposite, as the owner of the studio, she seemed to be getting less and less seen recently, but she was only twenty-five years old, almost the same age as them, but her temperament was calm as if she was in her thirties.

"Today is not the birthday of any of us." Han Yingzi opened her mouth and smiled: "Sister Qiao Duan, are you so busy that you even forgot your birthday?" ”

Qiao Dusk looked up at the girl consciously, and then remembered that today was indeed her birthday, and she rushed to the crew to film at three o'clock in the morning, and she was so busy that she remembered what day it was.

Last week, however, she received an email from Fu Chengrui from the United Kingdom, wishing her a happy birthday.

"I did forget." Qiao Du stroked his forehead, and seemed helpless: "I remember that I said that I would take you out for a big meal on my birthday this year, sorry, I can't think of it the other way around, and I have to be reminded by you." ”

"It's okay, Sister Qiao Du, you don't have to take it to heart." Chai Mengjie said gratefully, "In the past two years, you have generously allocated a lot of good resources to us, if you hadn't taken us with us, maybe we would have sunk long ago, how can we have such achievements today." It's rare that we have the opportunity to celebrate your birthday today, and I can't ask for it. ”

Qiao Du took a sip of lemonade and smiled indifferently, "It's so polite to see the outside, you are artists in my studio, if I don't give you good resources, will it be difficult for others to give them to others?" As she spoke, she raised her hand to recruit waiters, and asked them, "Have you ordered a meal in advance?" This restaurant is close to the set, but I haven't been here to eat, and I don't know what the signature dish is, so I might as well ask the waiter to ask. ”

"We'll order, talk to the waiter, and we'll serve." Han Yingzi beckoned the waiter to tell her to serve the food, and poured wine into Qiao Du's cup, "Come, let's all wish Sister Qiao Du a happy birthday." ”

"Happy Birthday!"

"Happy Birthday!"

"Happy Birthday!"

Six wine glasses jingled to clink glasses, and six smiling faces instantly tilted their necks and drank the wine in the glass.

……

At half past seven in the evening, Qiao Du was almost drunk into a puddle of soft mud, and she was persuaded to drink a lot at the birthday party, and she had to be supported by Han Yingzi to barely walk.

Walking out of the restaurant, Han Yingzi was dumbfounded, the weather was fine before the birthday party, but it would be pouring rain outside, as if it was going to flood the entire city.

What can I do?

Han Yingzi had no choice but to ask the restaurant to borrow an umbrella, and with great difficulty helped Qiao Du to the side of the road and waited for the driver Ah Cheng to drive the car over.

In the rain, the headlights shone through, and the royal blue RV slowly approached.

It's Cheng's car.

Han Yingzi happily beckoned to the car, and was about to help Qiao Du over, but in vain she saw someone get into the car one step ahead of them, and the other party was a man, with a handsome side face, cold and angular eyebrows, a high nose bridge, slender and straight legs wrapped in black trousers, and a handmade shirt of the same color without a trace of wrinkles, just by looking at it, you knew that it was expensive.

The man sat in the back seat of the car, noble, handsome, and looked at the coldness of all beings.

The man didn't seem to know that he was in someone else's car, and he lightly lifted his eyes to look at them under the umbrella, and the unfamiliar temperature finally fell on the unconscious Qiao Dui.

The man's eyes seemed to be looking at something transparent, plain and impermanent, but those eyes were as deep as a whirlpool, probably because of the light, as if with a thin cold smile.

Qiao Twilight was going to pick up the airport at nine o'clock in the evening, so she was carefully dressed before going out, and the off-the-shoulder ruffle dress showed that her fair skin was delicate and conspicuous, she was no longer the short hair she had two years ago, she had become a long hair, the ends of her hair were permed into inner buttons, all of which were tied behind her head, and her palm-sized melon seed face was full of red, charming and enchanting.

I don't know what happened to Qiao Dui, but she suddenly leaned on Han Yingzi's shoulder and giggled, revealing a seductive charm.

Even though it was summer, Han Yingzi still shivered inexplicably, now it was raining, the light was not good, she looked at the man's face as if she was familiar, where had she seen it, and she couldn't remember it for a while.

"Sir." Han Yingzi felt that there was an indescribable cold aura on this man's body, although the other party was unreasonable, but she didn't dare to speak loudly, and said cautiously and carefully: "You are in the wrong car, this is our car." ”

The driver in the front seat lowered the window, "This young lady, are you mistaken?" This is our boss's car. ”

Looking at the unfamiliar driver's face, Han Yingzi suddenly realized that she might really recognize the wrong car, and helped Qiao Du to hurriedly retreat, "That's right...... Sorry, it rained too much, I was wrong...... Let's go. ”

The man leaned lightly in his seat, did not close the door, and did not speak.

The driver glanced at the situation behind him, opened the car door, walked around the body with an umbrella, reached for the car door, and closed the door for the boss.

Qiao Du took a step, tilted his head to look at the car door that was about to close, and asked with red lips and unhappiness, "What's the matter...... This is obviously ...... My car, why can't I sit? It's not ...... Seven-seater? You and I, only two people, will definitely be able to sit ...... Gotta gotcha. ”

Han Yingzi looked at the man's alienated Leng Gui's powerful aura, and already recognized which one it was, sweating on her nervous forehead, and tightly hugged Qiao Du and whispered: "Sister Qiao Du, this is really someone else's car, but it is the same as yours." Ah Cheng hasn't driven over yet, so let's retreat to the side and wait. ”

"Wait? Why should I ...... Wait? Qiao Du burped and shook off Han Yingzi's hand: "I still have to pick up people, I can't wait, this is obviously ...... It's my car, and I'm going to ...... Rush to the airport. ”

She said as she pulled the car door and drilled inside, how dare the driver, was about to stop the person, received the gaze of the man in the car, retracted his hand suddenly, and returned to the front driver's seat.

"Qiao ......" Han Yingzi was busy holding an umbrella with one hand, and it was too late to pull people with the other, Qiao Twilight stumbled in with high heels, her body swayed, and the high heels didn't stand firmly, she fell to the side and fell on the man's lap.

Seeing that she was about to roll off the man's lap, her waist was firmly supported by the man's arm in a moment's time, and the clear masculine breath surrounded her.

She instinctively grabbed his clothes, and when she looked up, she saw the man's meticulously ironed shirt and suit, and then up, her deep eyes couldn't see the end.

Qiao Du couldn't help but reach out and touch the face of the man in the hazy sight, pouted his red lips and said: "You look like my son, my son is excellent, a year ago he went to school in the UK as an exchange student, he was originally popular in domestic schools, and even more so abroad, he complained to me that there are often many girls on social networks who leave messages for him, and his private mailbox is filled with emails from strange girls every day......"

The man looked at her calmly, at her red lips with a delicate voice, at her facial features with delicate makeup, at her charming smile, at her large shoulders exposed in the air, beautiful collarbones, and seductive breast curves.

"Sister Qiao Duan." Han Yingzi's voice cut in.

Qiao Duan quickly withdrew from the man's arms, hurriedly sat back in his seat, burped again, collapsed in the seat and urged the driver in front: "Ah Cheng, go to the airport quickly, Jin Yanxi's plane at nine o'clock, I'm almost too late." He rubbed his itchy nose with his hand, as if he remembered something, looked at the man with a white and red face, tilted his head and squinted drunken eyes, and said: "As for this gentleman, for the sake of you helping me just now, I don't care about you getting in the wrong car, my car ...... Can take you on a ride...... But after I pick you up at the airport, I'll ask Cheng to drop you off. ”

"Sister Qiao Duan." Han Yingzi, who was standing outside and heard this, was frightened, Qiao Du was drunk and didn't know that she was in someone else's car, so she had to bend down and approach Qiao Du to persuade her to get out of the car, but at this time, a man's cold voice sounded: "Drive." ”
