The woman must have been a little suspicious of the near-fall, and she wore a pair of open-toed slippers on her feet, and there were no ropes or obstacles to her steps where she was stepping.

When she was about to fall, Song Qingxiao was a few steps away from her, and after making sure that there was nothing on the ground that could make her tripped up, she quickly looked up and thanked her.

Song Qingxiao thought that she hadn't seen her movements, smiled and shook her head, and let go of her arm.

The woman turned her wrist and glanced up and down at Song Qingxiao, apparently recognizing her as one of the people hired by Mr. Zhou.

"Why didn't you go there for a drink?"

Although they only met once during the day, it was still clear from the words and deeds of the woman at that time that she was not a person with a warm personality, and when No. 7 went to look for her under the pretext of asking for sunscreen, she was also sent back very coldly.

At this time, it may be because Song Qingxiao helped her before, which shortened the distance between the two, which made the coldness between her expressions melt a little, and after standing firmly, she grabbed her hair and asked.

"It's a little noisy, I want to be quiet."

The bustling situation outside attracted a lot of people, but this woman didn't come out until this time, and as soon as she came out, she went straight to the opposite direction of the crowd, and it was conceivable that she didn't like this kind of noise.

Song Qingxiao's answer made her stunned for a moment, and after a while, she nodded:

"It's a bit noisy, but it's understandable, it's a harvest trip after all."

The meaning revealed in her words is worth playing, and Song Qingxiao leaned her body to the side of the ship, figuring out the meaning of her words.

The woman also leaned over, maybe there were not many people she could talk to on the boat, and when she met Song Qingxiao tonight, for the sake of her helping herself, she made an exception and said a few more words: "It's only half a month at most, just bear with it." ”

"Mr. Zhou seems to have mentioned that he is about to reach his destination."

This should not be a forbidden issue, after all, when warning the trialists who had just entered the scene during the day, Mr. Zhou himself had mentioned such a question.

The woman nodded:

"Yes, Mr. Zhou has seen the itinerary today, and there are three days at most, and we will enter the island."

Having said that, we finally got to the point.

Song Qing was very careful, but the woman seemed to be extremely defensive, and she was not the object of good words, maybe she knew the questions in her heart, if she asked directly, she might be sent away by her in a few words, and missed this opportunity to talk to her.

She didn't rush to ask the island's question, but instead referred to Mr. Zhou himself:

"Speaking of Mr. Zhou, I think I have some impressions before this, as if I have seen it somewhere."

Song Qingxiao casually pulled out a paragraph, and when she said this, she had already thought about the reaction that a woman should have.

If she is surprised, she will use the excuse of 'misremembering'.

As soon as her voice fell, the woman glanced at Song Qingxiao meaningfully, and also leaned against the side of the boat in her appearance, her eyes were a little confused:

"Mr. Zhou is the person in charge of Zhou's biotechnology company, and he often appears in various newspapers and magazines, even if you have seen it, it is not unusual."

The sea breeze dried her slightly damp hair, a few strands of hair stuck to her face, she faced the sea, and the shadows and night became the best decorations to block her expression:

"He has done a lot of charity and invested in many projects, all of which are very profitable businesses, and Zhou's biotechnology is internationally renowned for its research on genetics." She paused for a moment, "I'm also one of his charity recipients. ”

When the woman said this, she actually revealed a lot of useful things.

She mentioned that she was the recipient of Mr. Zhou's charity, not the beneficiary, I don't know if it was because Song Qingxiao was too suspicious, she always felt that there was something wrong with the woman when she said this.

But through this sentence, Song Qingxiao also heard that the relationship between her and Mr. Zhou was not just a simple boss and an employee.

Mr. Zhou is a wealthy man with a lot of investment, and he has a biotechnology company under his name, which focuses on research on genetic breakthroughs.

The woman is a person who has received Mr. Zhou's help, and now she is by Mr. Zhou's side to do things for her.

From this point of view, it means that Mr. Zhou has a precedent of 'picking' fruits in addition to 'cultivating'.

Mr. Zhou is a well-known and successful person, and it is not difficult to understand that he can afford to hire so many people when he travels, and even many of them have big men with guns.

But what puzzled Song Qingxiao was that such a busy person, with investment and companies, was busy making money, but also took care of charity, and often appeared in newspapers and magazines for interviews, why would he invite such a large group of people to go to sea to an island in person?

She thought of the investment that the woman mentioned.

The woman had mentioned this as a pun before, that it was a 'harvest trip'.

Therefore, it can be inferred that there may be some important investment or business for Mr. Zhou on the island, and it has reached the time of harvest, which prompted Mr. Zhou to make this trip to the island.

With so many bodyguards, scholars, and a lot of coolies who looked like porters, there must be something important on the island.

Knowing this, Song Qingxiao tentatively spoke:

"Mr. Zhou seems to attach great importance to this trip."

"Of course."

The woman laughed:

"After all, it's been researching for more than ten years......"

She burst out of her mouth, and when she realized that she had said the wrong thing, she quickly choked back the remaining half of her sentence.

The woman slowly straightened up, when she was lying on the side of the boat, her body was bewitching, her body was soft and seemed to be very tough, as if she was boneless, and after standing up straight, she was like two people before.

Perhaps sensing that Song Qingxiao was tricking her, she turned her head and looked a little cold.

Where she stood, the lights on the deck could not shine directly here, only some faint light and shadow, half of her face was in the light and shadow, half was hidden in the darkness, those eyes were probably because of the reflection of the sea, showing a black to blue color in the night, staring at people, giving people a lot of pressure, making people a little breathless.

Song Qingxiao could tell from her expression that she was angry.

The atmosphere stiffened suddenly, the woman pursed her lips and did not speak, and suddenly a man's voice came:

"Shirley?"

The woman's expression changed, and she subconsciously turned her head, Song Qingxiao was also like her, turned her head to the source of the sound, and saw that during the day, she saw that Mr. Zhou, who was surrounded by everyone, had changed a set of clothes, standing about seven or eight meters away, and looked at the direction where the two were standing with a smile:

"I looked for you for a long time, but you hid here."

When he came, neither woman noticed.

Song Qingxiao was wholeheartedly thinking about using women's words, afraid that if she said something wrong, the woman would be vigilant, and if she couldn't get useful information, she didn't pay attention to the behavior around her.

Mr. Zhou didn't make a sound when he walked, and there was so much noise on the deck that he was about to come to him, if he hadn't taken the initiative to greet the woman, I'm afraid Song Qingxiao wouldn't have noticed that he was so close.

"Mr. Zhou."

The woman known as 'Shirley' had a smile on her face and walked in the direction of Mr. Zhou, her temperament quickly changed from cold to respectful:

"Why did you get out?"

"I heard the excitement outside, come out and take a look."

Shirley walked up to him and took his arm, and Mr. Zhou didn't struggle, just smiled and asked:

"Say what? It's rare to see you so speculative with someone. ”

As he spoke, his careless gaze fell on Song Qingxiao's body, with a little suspicion and suspicion in his eyes, and a little malice.

Song Qing was cautious, remembering what he had said during the day when he warned the trialists who were sneaking up on each other, he had said that he would throw 'disobedient people into the sea', and the standard of disobedience was set by him.

The ship is his territory, and the big men with guns are all his people, if Mr. Zhou has murderous intent towards himself, it will be difficult for Song Qingxiao to compete with him in this situation.

Even with her current strength, she is not afraid of a few ordinary people, but it seems that the people around Mr. Zhou on the boat are all practitioners, and Shirley alone should not be bad.

Not to mention that there are several trialists with different intentions on the ship, if she offends Mr. Zhou, these people will definitely find ways to get her as a competitor out of the game in advance.

If you arrive on the island, or close to the island, Song Qingxiao is not afraid, but according to the woman, there should be a trip from the island, and when she mentioned the noisy problem on the boat before, she once said that Mr. Zhou had studied the voyage and was nearly three days away from entering the island.

Mr. Zhou's gaze fell on Song Qingxiao like a radar, as if he wanted to look at her carefully.

Under such a gaze, Song Qingxiao only felt a slight shiver on her back, layers of goosebumps appeared on her arms and back, and her hairs stood up one by one, and a trace of cold flow came out of her pores.

At this moment, her brain was spinning desperately, making her think of a way to get out and deal with it.

Tonight is a little careless, she used to set the woman's words, Shirley should have seen it, the final atmosphere between the two is a little wrong, if Mr. Zhou asks at this time, Shirley will tell the two of them the conversation just now, Song Qingxiao may not be able to eat today.

Her heart began to beat faster, and although her face was silent, there was actually a layer of fine sweat on her forehead and the tip of her nose, which was dried by the wind.

Shirley's gaze also fell on Song Qingxiao like Mr. Zhou, she lowered her eyebrows, and her appearance seemed to be very respectful.

Mr. Zhou's gaze turned back to Shirley, and Shirley listened to his question and replied respectfully:

"I heard some noise outside, came out to take a look, and almost fell, this lady helped me and chatted casually."

To Song Qingxiao's surprise, Shirley did not say what the two had chatted before, nor did she mention the scene of her knocking on the side to inquire about the island, Mr. Zhou heard her say this, his brows furrowed slightly, and his breathing stagnated for a moment.

Such a performance is that he is a little skeptical of Shirley's words.

It's a good thing to have suspicions, which proves that when Song Qingxiao and Shirley talked before, he didn't hear the specific content of the chat between the two, just guessing.

"Did you thank anyone?"

"Thank you."

Shirley nodded, and when she mentioned 'thank you', her expression was still very cold, not like she had a close affection for people.

She attached herself to Mr. Zhou and whispered Song Qingxiao's identity:

"Her surname is Song, her name is Song Qingxiao, her family is poor, she has only one mother, out of concern about the tuition fee, she signed up for this application, passed the conditions, and was recruited into the team after passing."

Song Qingxiao concentrated intently, listening to her and Mr. Zhou introduce themselves in a whisper, and the suspicion in Mr. Zhou's eyes lightened a little.

"It should be a poor person who has never seen much of the world, and mentioned that you are a little kind, but I don't know that you have been in newspapers and magazines, and I don't know much about your identity."

When she said this, she completely dispelled the doubts in Mr. Zhou's heart.

Song Qingxiao's identity as a poor person both inside and outside the trial seems to have no intersection with someone like Mr. Zhou, and from Shirley's words, she also knows that she is just a 'dirt bun' who has never seen much of the world, and it is impossible to have anything to do with Shirley.

In addition, when Mr. Zhou came over, he did see that the atmosphere between the two was not like a harmonious conversation, so he quickly wiped away the trace of doubt in his heart and disdained to say anything more to Song Qingxiao.

After confirming that she did not know anything about her actions, she left coldly with Shirley.

After the two left, Song Qingxiao breathed a long sigh of relief.

Shirley would cover her up, which surprised Song Qing at first, but after figuring it out, she didn't feel unusual.

After all, although she inquired about the news and took the initiative to cover Shirley's words, it was Shirley herself who revealed the news, and she confessed herself, and she may not have good fruits to eat.

So when Mr. Zhou asked about it, she wisely chose to hide it, saving Song Qingxiao and herself.

However, it can be seen from this incident that Shirley is so jealous of Mr. Zhou, which proves that this person is a ruthless person, and even the people around him who have been helped by his charitable acts and who have turned back are so afraid of him, you can imagine how terrible this person is.

After getting some important news, Song Qingxiao didn't stay on the deck, she got the news she wanted, she turned around and walked in the direction of her room, she was going to go back to the room and digest the news she just got.

Back at the door, she swiped her fingerprints and entered the room, the air conditioning had dropped a lot, but it was still cold, and there was a damp feeling in the room because of the speed at which the frost melted.

The bed was filled with some basic daily necessities provided by Mr. Zhou and others for those of them who were employed, and Song Qingxiao went into the bathroom to take a shower, and when she came out to lie on the bed, she began to sort out the news she got tonight.

First of all, there is no doubt that Mr. Zhou is a rich man, who once invested in a certain business on the island more than ten years ago, and now it is the time of 'harvest', so he hired a group of people to go to the island to harvest the fruits of victory.

But on the way to the island, Mr. Zhou hid this matter very deeply, and was very taboo about others on the way, so it is conceivable that the things on the island must be very important to him, and he must not leak the news.
