Tong Yuqing smiled, but saw Bai Qiaoxuan suddenly get up and walk towards the kitchen. She didn't know why, but when she saw Bai Qiaoxuan come out, she had a plate of purple glutinous rice cakes in her left hand and a plate of peeled lychees in her right hand. Tong Yuqing had to admire Bai Qiaoxuan's observation, he not only saw her favorite pastries and fruits, but also saw that she didn't eat them completely. From the day she joined the Financial Division, her father told her that she was never allowed to eat at the dinner outside, that there were too many things on the banquet more important than the banquet itself, and that she had to learn to pay attention to everyone's every word and deed, to explore the extraneous voices from the seemingly ordinary words, and to observe the character of the tutor from the seemingly small actions. So from then on, at the big feasts, she put all her energy into other people's preferences, habits, words and deeds. Similarly, today she put all her attention on Bai Qiaoxuan, but what she didn't expect was that Bai Qiaoxuan was also observing her.

Tong Yuqing took the plate in Bai Qiaoxuan's hand and put it on the table, and said slowly: "If my eyesight is good, your favorite main dish is fish, and you like to eat all kinds of fish." The side dish is stir-fried cabbage with oyster sauce and eggs, the pastry is mung bean cold cake, and the fruit is fragrant luan. ”

"Fish is Xiao Yuhao's favorite, stir-fried cabbage with oyster sauce and egg is your uncle's favorite, mung bean cold cake is Aunt Dai's favorite, and Xiangluan is your uncle's favorite." Tong Yuqing listened to Bai Qiaoxuan's words and understood that her homework tonight was done in vain.

"You're so thorough, so watertight. Why did you miss the consequences of confessing to me? Aren't you afraid that I will tell the Overseer that you are too scheming to be worthy of his daughter's life? ”

Bai Qiaoxuan shook his head with a smile, and did not directly answer Tong Yuqing's question, but said: "Since the day our Bai family decided to 'marry' me to Yejin, there has not been a moment of peace in the Bai Mansion, both openly and secretly. You don't need to say that you can understand the reason, so I'm not sure if this decision is a blessing or a curse for our Bai family, just this morning I was still thinking about whether the Bai family should repair the relationship with the Pu Xilu family. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan did not shy away from telling Tong Yuqing about the different intentions he had, which made Tong Yuqing even more surprised.

"I know you must be wondering if there's a string in my head that's wrong. I can tell you that I am very conscious now, much better than I was this morning. Saying that, Bai Qiaoxuan lowered his head and tasted the fragrance of tea in the cup.

"The reason why I am telling you this is because I have changed my mind now, and I have decided to completely turn my face with the Lu family, and from now on, I will be loyal to the Qiu family just like your Tong family." Bai Qiaoxuan put down the teacup and handed a piece of purple glutinous rice cake to Tong Yuqing, who seemed to be in a daze.

Tong Yuqing thought about it and took the pastry, and asked while eating: "Did you change your mind as acting director?" ”

Bai Qiaoxuan raised his eyebrows and continued: "That's right, but this is not the main reason. You have been in contact with family affairs for two years, and I have been longer than you, six years. I started to take care of chores with my father at the age of 12, and at the age of 16, I officially became the general manager of Baijiawan. Although you have less experience than mine, from last night to tonight, I can feel that your agility and ability to deal with things are no worse than mine. We all know how hard it is for people like us to trust others. If we are like this ourselves, then the Overseers and Chief Tong will only be more suspicious than we are. They can all let down their guard and choose to believe me, so why should I not be loyal? ”

"Why don't I feel like they trust you?" Tong Yuqing said with a smile, "Just about the luxury of today's banquet and Uncle Qiu's hospitality?" Then I can tell you that tonight's scene is unusual, but it makes sense. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan still didn't believe him when he heard Tong Yuqing's words, and the smile on his lips deepened, "Because I have already explained my attitude to Lu Jingwu, you think that our Bai family is already the fat that has fed your mouth, and I don't want to be loyal but also loyal, right?" ”

Tong Yuqing didn't think this joke was funny. Bai Qiaoxuan looked at her expression, put away the joke, and said solemnly: "Think about what Deputy Qiu and Major Qiu said at the banquet, and then think about how the Overseer replied to them. ”

Tong Yuqing suddenly realized, Qiu Lingwei and Qiu Linghe's words more or less revealed that they wanted to win over Bai Qiaoxuan, at that time, Tong Yuqing's mind was on Bai Qiaoxuan's reply, and she didn't notice Qiu Zeyuan's seemingly routine precept - remember, do your part well, don't interfere in other things, I have merit here to be rewarded, and there is no need to be afraid to do things, but don't think that you can do whatever you want if you are in a key position.

"I'm afraid you've been hearing the Overseers say things like this, and you've not noticed the Overseers' eyes when they say this, especially Deputy Qiu and Major Qiu, who seem to be terrified of the Overseers, and keep their heads down when they hear this. The Overseer looked ahead when he said everything else, except when he said, 'Don't be afraid to do things,' he looked at me. ”

Tong Yuqing smiled: "It's true that I was negligent. Every time we get together, Uncle Qiu will tell us again, so that we are always mindful of our responsibilities. ”

Tong Yuqing saw that Bai Qiaoxuan didn't take any more food after tasting the tea, so she handed him a piece of pastry, and then said: "Let's talk about the point, what do you want to do when you tell me these things today?" ”

Bai Qiaoxuan looked at Tong Yuqing, to be precise, staring at Tong Yuqing, staring at Tong Yuqing that he felt that his whole person was shrouded in his misty eyes, and he had to think about which words he said wrong and what he did wrong. It wasn't until she couldn't hold back anymore and was about to apologize that Bai Qiaoxuan suddenly laughed, and Tong Yuqing felt even more inexplicable. Bai Qiaoxuan smiled enough and asked, "Hey, are you tired?" ”

Tong Yuqing didn't know why. Bai Qiaoxuan explained: "Let me ask you if you are tired of guessing people's minds like this? ”

Tong Yuqing's face couldn't help but blush, Bai Qiaoxuan leaned back, making his posture more casual, pretending not to see Tong Yuqing's embarrassment, and said after a while: "This is what I want to tell you today." I am helpless in Yejin, you are the person I choose to trust, and I hope you can trust me as well. I think we're being honest with each other, and if you want to know what I'm thinking or what I'm going to do, just ask me directly. ”

Tong Yuqing looked at the person in front of her, thought for a long time, and asked, "Why me?" ”

Bai Qiaoxuan was obviously prepared for her question, and replied without thinking: "Yu Gong, you and I are in the same situation and have similar experiences. We are all responsible for Pudong's future, and we are all people trusted by the Overseers and the Director, and we are all people that Qiu Lingjiao and Qiu Linghe must fight for. Yu Private, you are the only sister by my fiancée's side, and you can help me a lot. ”

Tong Yuqing originally listened to Bai Qiaoxuan's reasons calmly, but when she heard it, she couldn't help but smile like Bai Qiaoxuan.

"If you're going to ask me to do something selling, don't even think about it. I can warn you, don't use any of your Jiuqu thoughts on You, she is different from me, and I can't guess your obscure intentions. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan smiled and arched his hand to Tong Yuqing, "Don't dare, don't dare, give me the courage to bully the only daughter of the Overseer, and I don't dare to deceive your good sister of Miss Tong." ”

Tong Yuqing was so angry that she threw a pillow at Bai Qiaoxuan, and said angrily: "Poor mouth! ”

Bai Qiaoxuan grinned and grabbed the pillow, and this back and forth washed away the tense atmosphere a little.

Tong Yuqing said again: "In addition to the high-sounding reasons you just said, Yiyou will also be a reason for your allegiance. ”

"Why?"

Tong Yuqing replied with great certainty: "Yiyou's beauty is enough to make all men in the world fall under her pomegranate skirt." You, too, will be no exception. ”

"Is she better than you?"

Tong Yuqing smiled: "You don't have to compliment me. My appearance is really small compared to Yiyou. You'll understand when you see her. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan smiled, didn't pay much attention to what Tong Yuqing said, and asked seriously: "I remember that Yiyou should be older than you, right?" Why do you look like a sister and protect her everywhere? ”

"Yiyou is indeed older than me, but only a year older. Because we are close in age and Qiu Tong's family is close, we have eaten, slept and played together since we were children. If I don't protect her, who am I protecting? ”

"That's not what I meant. I'm asking, isn't Yiyou taking on any business? ”

Tong Yuqing smiled and sighed: "Uncle Qiu, where is he willing to let Yiyou do those troublesome things." Uncle Qiu seems to just want Yiyou to grow up peacefully and happily, and doesn't want her to experience a trace of wind and rain. Ever since I was a child, I have never heard Uncle Qiu refuse Yiyou's request. My mother taught me to handle household affairs since I was a child, and when I grew up, my father asked me to join the financial department. Alas...... I'm still confused about my father's decision, how could my father think that I can take over the financial secretary right now? Tong Yuqing suddenly recalled the scene this afternoon and looked at Bai Qiaoxuan, "Do you already understand the intentions of Uncle Qiu and my father?" You didn't say a word of resignation this afternoon. ”

"If my expectations are correct, Director Tong should not want to take a vacation in the past three months, but to investigate what happened last night. But even if it is an investigation, he does not need to go out in person, and it is easy for him to startle the snake with such a big move. So I guess the Overseer and the Director are trying to divert the attention of that or those stakes to the Director, so that the Overseers can actually make the secret visit. ”

Tong Yuqing thought about Bai Qiaoxuan's words, nodded and shook his head, "I have also thought about what you said, but even the two of us can think of it, Lu Tiansheng and Dark Pile must also think of it, I always feel that this matter is not so simple, but I can't think of the key for a while." In any case, the two of us must be cautious and more cautious in our actions lately. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan nodded, "Just assume that this time it's really just the two of us fighting alone, except for each other, no one can believe it." We put the brakes on the quiet, and if anyone wants to take the opportunity to disturb the Financial Secretary at this time, it would be better for us to find clues. I have a feeling that last night's incident should have something to do with Qiu Lingxian or Qiu Linghe, but I'm afraid that the Overseer and the Director are also suspicious of them, and it seems that they will soon find out who your fiancé is. Bai Qiaoxuan's deep eyes were full of smiles again.

Tong Yuqing smiled bitterly: "Actually, I also doubt them, but I think that Qiu Lingzhe was wiped out two years ago because of collusion with foreign insults, and they will not take a big risk to repeat the mistakes of the past." ”

Tong Yuqing said and sighed: "Under the heavy profit, people are willing to take whatever kind of risk they are afraid of. To be sure, neither of them is weak, and with more time and practice, whoever becomes an Overseer is a blessing to the people. It's the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other? One person is the overseer and the other is the auxiliary minister, everyone shares the country and the country, is it not good to keep the peace together? Do you have to live or die to give up? ”

Bai Qiaoxuan smiled and sighed: "In the end, she is a woman, and she will never understand the grand blueprint in a man's heart." Dominating the world and overlooking the rivers and mountains is the dream of every hot-blooded man. We will willingly shed all our blood for the dream in our hearts. What's more, you also know that there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two kings in the country. From the moment they decided to step into this war, the outcome was already preordained......"
