Chapter 40: A fork in the road
(40) Fork in the road
The three of them walked into a restaurant, and Qiu Yan asked for a private room. The waiter led the people in and poured a cup of tea for each person, "Wait a minute, three." ”
Xu Yajun took a sip, "Well, this tea is good, mellow and delicious." ”
Qiu Yan took a sip, "It's really good, it's fresh wheat tea." ”
"You seem to be in good spirits, and you don't get angry and lose your soul because you lost a lot of money." Xu Yajun sat leisurely on the chair and looked at Qiu Yan and said.
Qiu Yan exclaimed: "Are you sure that this money can't be recovered?" ”
"It's hard to say. Wang Lihua herself has no bad habits, and this money should not be spent on her. Her reputation in the industry has always been good, and she will not ruin her contacts and image accumulated over the years so easily, she must be forced to do so. ”
Qiu Yan: "I also think that she embezzled such a large sum of money should have a last resort, could it be that something happened to her family?" ”
"I've looked for someone, and there is no news yet. Wang Lihua has never been married and has no children, her parents are working-class and do not need her to support the family. ”
Qiu Yan thought for a while and asked, "Then does she have a boyfriend?" ”
"I don't know much about that."
The waiter knocked on the door, came in with the food, and put a plate on the table, "Please use it slowly." ”
Xu Yajun looked at Qiu Yan and asked, "If you really can't find it, what are you going to do?" ”
Qiu Yan sighed and said in disappointment: "I can only consider myself unlucky, what else can I do?" She stole my ID and took my ID card, I had too much trust in her to guard against her, and let her know my bank password. I am also responsible for this loss, and it is indispensable to guard against others. ”
"I can lend you the money that Wang Lihua took first, so as to solve your urgent needs."
"Thank you, I still have some money in my hand, not to the point of exhaustion. Let's see if the police can find her, maybe the money can be recovered. Qiu Yan smiled optimistically.
Xu Yajun nodded and said, "Good luck!" I was about to leave here, but I didn't expect this to happen, so I had to wait for this matter to come to an eyebrow before leaving. ”
"Are you going back to the United States?"
"Yes, the market here has almost been developed, and it is a waste of time for me to stay, and it just so happens that the headquarters also wants to transfer me back."
"Congratulations! It's okay, you can leave when you want, this case is handled by the police department, you don't have to delay the trip for my business. ”
Xu Yajun smiled lightly: "Staying for three or five more days has no effect on me, you don't have to feel guilty." Is your design office still going well? ”
"It's okay, the two helpers are very powerful, but I have a feeling that Jiang Lang is exhausted, maybe because I have not received a systematic education, and I have walked for so long with that little cleverness and loving attitude, and my talent is a little exhausted."
"Parsons School of Design in New York is one of the best fashion design schools in the world. If you want to study abroad, I can help you ask. ”
Qiu Yan was happy in his heart, but said embarrassedly on his face: "Is it okay?" My conditions are not very good, and my major in college is not fashion design. ”
"Do you have a few decent photos to send to me, I can help you ask."
"Okay, I'll go back and find out. I thank you in advance for tea instead of wine! Qiu Yan and Xu Yajun touched their cups and finished drinking a cup of tea.
After eating, Qiu Yan, Xu Yajun and David waved goodbye and began to busy their respective affairs.
Qiu Yan went to the property to pay off the water and electricity bills and property fees, and lied that Wang Lihua had something at home to take a month's leave to appease the employees. After all this, she was too tired to move, mainly because she was tired, angry, and irritable. Shen Peng called to inquire, and she bluntly asked Shen Peng to come and pick her up, not wanting to state what she had done again.
When Shen Peng's car arrived, Qiu Yan was already waiting for him at the door, and without waiting for Shen Peng to speak, Qiu Yan sat directly in the co-pilot's seat, "Don't ask anything, go home." ”
Shen Peng watched Qiu Yan close his eyes tiredly and felt distressed, and drove back to the community silently.
"It's here, are you alright?" Shen Peng asked cautiously.
Qiu Yan opened his eyes and looked at the scenery outside the car window, "It's okay, it's just exhaustion and annoyance!" Why do you think I'm so stupid! ”
Shen Peng unbuckled his seat belt and pulled Qiu Yan into his arms, "Okay, okay, who hasn't been unlucky." You look at your money and say it's gone, it's normal to have a fire in your heart. My money will be spent for you, and I will give you the bank card in a moment. Let's not be angry about money, okay......"
Qiu Yan listened to Shen Peng's messy comfort with a smile and laughter, his anger gradually dissipated, and he kissed Shen Peng's cheek, "Just make me something delicious." ”
"Good! I'll cook you whatever you want. Get out! ”
Qiu Yan followed Shen Peng home, Shen Peng made a lot of Qiu Yan's favorite food for dinner, although Qiu Yan couldn't eat it, but it was not good to live up to Shen Peng's kindness, and it was a lot more difficult to eat.
After dinner, Shen Peng took Qiu Yan around the community for more than an hour, and took a walk to relax, until Qiu Yan took Shen Peng's hand and said that she couldn't walk, and Shen Peng led her home.
After washing, Qiu Yan lay on the bed and couldn't sleep, looking at the ceiling with wide eyes and being stunned.
Shen Peng asked softly, "What are you thinking?" ”
"As soon as Wang Lihua leaves, I should manage those people again, it's a big head when you think about it!"
"As far as the nine employees of your three stores are concerned, you are just soft-hearted, and they kick their noses in the face. No, I'll take care of them for you......"
Qiu Yan suddenly turned sideways and hugged Shen Peng and kissed him, "Brother! I'm just waiting for your words! Okay, you can help me manage those three stores! ”
Shen Peng smiled and pulled Qiu Yan into his arms, "Okay, what a big deal!" Don't worry, there is no one I can't treat, I promise to take care of it for you. ”
Qiu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and grabbed Shen Peng's unruly hand, "I'm not in the mood today, sleep!" ”
Shen Peng looked at Qiu Yan's serious face and sighed helplessly, "Okay, let's sleep." ”。
The night breeze blew the curtains, Qiu Yan looked at the light and shadow on the ceiling, and couldn't help but sigh......
