Chapter 20: Locked up

"Hello, my name is Ruan Zheyu, and I am Aqing's best friend, what about you? What is it called? Ruan Zheyu was very curious about this woman who he thought had made Yuan Qiyou, the iron tree bloom, and chased after him and asked.

"My name is Xia Xiaohui." Xia Xiaohui responded, pressed the floor where the public relations department was located, and looked at Ruan Zheyu again: "The first floor?" ”

In fact, when the words came out, Xia Xiaohui had already pressed the floor.

"Yes." Ruan Zheyu replied and asked again: "Xiaoxi, which department do you work in?" ”

"Public Relations."

"PR?" Ruan Zheyu's voice rose several degrees.

"Hmm." Xia Xiaohui responded.

Ruan Zheyu was a little stunned, the public relations department often has to deal with customers, sometimes for a case to pay a lot, drinking or something, it is a trivial matter, a common thing, there are many female professionals in order to be able to gain a foothold, often have to pay the price of their bodies to negotiate a contract, how could Yuan Qiyou be willing to let her go in that mixed department?

Ruan Zheyu was full of puzzlement.

"I'm here, goodbye." The elevator opened with a ding, Xia Xiaohui politely said hello and got out of the elevator.

Ruan Zheyu waited for the elevator door to close before he reacted, and hurriedly chased out, "Hey, wait." ”“

Not far from the office after getting out of the elevator, Ruan Zheyu's voice was very harsh in the busy and quiet office, Xia Xiaohui stopped and looked at him with a frown, and many people in the office also raised their eyes.

Ruan Zheyu smiled and waved at the people in the office, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

Immediately, he pulled Xia Xiaohui to the side and said in a low voice, "Hey, how about having a meal together in the evening." ”

Xia Xiaohui was a little helpless about his self-familiar attitude, and said with a flat face: "No, I will have to work overtime for a while, and I will accept it with good intentions." ”

"A-Qing is going too, I just went upstairs and called him." Ruan Zheyu thought she was embarrassed, so she pulled out Yuan Qiyou's name.

However, he didn't know that when it came to Yuan Qiyou, Xia Xiaohui would not go.

"No, I've been busy these days." Xia Xiaohui said.

"It's Saturday tomorrow, Aqing, the chairman, is not busy, what are you doing so hard as an employee." Ruan Zheyu said again.

Xia Xiaohui said lightly: "He is not busy, because he is a big boss, rich and capricious, I am busy, because I am a small clerk, I have to take care of my own food and clothing, Mr. Ruan, doesn't he think that there is no comparison between the two of us together?" ”

"Aren't you together?" Ruan Zheyu asked with wide eyes.

Ah Qing is an unkind master, no, he is a master who is not close to women, but he was pulling and pulling with her that day, how could the two not be together.

"I think Mr. Ruan misunderstood, I have nothing to do with Fu Dong, if you want to say that it has anything to do with it, that is, he is a big boss, I am a small employee, that's all." Xia Xiaohui said very seriously.

"Oh." Ruan Zheyu let go of Xia Xiaohui's arm with some frustration, and asked without giving up: "Really not together?" ”

"No, it doesn't matter at all." Xia Xiaohui was extremely serious.

Then he said, "If it's okay, then I'll go and get busy." ”

"Okay, that, I'm sorry to delay you for so long." Ruan Zheyu smiled apologetically.

He was more in a hurry, but he didn't expect to make a big fuss.

However, he still didn't believe that Yuan Qiyou, who was not close to women, was so close to a woman that he would have nothing to do with it.

"It's okay, goodbye then." Xia Xiaohui nodded politely and turned to leave.

Ruan Zheyu got an answer that was completely opposite to what he knew, and he was unhappy, muttering and turning away.

But in the short time that the two have been talking, they have turned the people in the public relations department upside down.

Everyone speculated about the relationship between Xia Xiaohui and Ruan Zheyu, whether they were boyfriend and girlfriend or something.

There was a bold one who stepped forward directly and asked Xia Xiaohui.

"Xiaoxi, was that your boyfriend just now, he's so handsome."

"It's just, with such a handsome boyfriend, it's no wonder you broke up with your ex-boyfriend."

Xia Xiaohui raised his head, swept over the gossiping people standing at his desk with an expressionless face, and said lightly: "He's not my boyfriend, and I'm not breaking up with my boyfriend because of him, it's working time, if you want to gossip, please stay away from me, I'm still busy." ”

The few people around in front of him looked a little embarrassed, but seeing Xia Xiaohui bowing his head and ignoring them, they all dispersed embarrassedly.

"What, it's like a twenty-five or eighty-thousand, didn't you just find a handsome boyfriend, what is it?"

"Didn't she say that she wasn't her boyfriend, maybe there was someone in someone's house, she was just a junior, what to drag."

"That is to say, this kind of person is the most annoying, let's ignore her."

A few good people said crookedly, so, after a while, the rumor that Xia Xiaohui was a junior spread all over the public relations department.

For these, Xia Xiaohui didn't care at all, just concentrated on doing her own thing.

And Guan Shan also saw the scene where Xia Xiaohui and Ruan Zheyu were talking, and she was so angry that her stomach hurt.

She didn't understand why God was so favoritism.

Obviously, she has been in the advanced public relations department for a few years, and she has worked so hard that she finally sat in the first position in the business, and she was about to be promoted to deputy manager, but at this time, Xia Xiaohui fell from the sky, not only taking away the likes of the men she had liked for many years, but also taking away her opportunities at work.

The feeling that love and career were not going well at the same time made Guan Shan crazy, and she couldn't wait to tear Xia Xiaohui apart.

At this time, Ruan Zheyu, who came to Xia Xiaohui, was so handsome and so good, so that the jealousy in Guan Shan's heart grew like a wild grass.

Xia Xiaohui worked overtime so much that she forgot the time, got off work, and everyone left without knowing it.

Guan Shan had already left, forgot to come back to get something, and saw that Xia Xiaohui was still busy, and a touch of coldness and jealousy flashed in her eyes.

If the case is done for her, she is also willing to work overtime.

Guan Shan took her things and left.

When I walked to the gate of the public relations department, I happened to meet the security guard who came up to lock the door.

"Miss Guan, you haven't left so late." The security guard said.

"Gone, forgot something, come back and get it." Guan Shan responded with a smile.

"Lock the door so early today." Guan Shan asked again.

"yes, it's Friday, it's early. Miss Guan just entered, is there anyone else in the public relations department? ”

Guan Shan's mind flashed Xia Xiaohui's face, and she was about to say that there was someone, but when the words came to her mouth, she changed her words: "No, I just went in and didn't see anyone, I turned off the light, you don't have to go in to check." ”

"Oh, that's it, thank you Miss Guan." The security guard said, stepped forward and locked the door, and pulled the electric switch.

Guan Shan's heart was beating wildly, and while talking to the security guard to distract him, a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth.

Xia Xiaohui, fight with me, I just don't make a move, even God is helping me, you can stay in it for a night. “

Xia Xiaohui was working overtime in the office, and the things at hand were not finished yet, but suddenly it was dark in front of her, and the entire office fell into darkness.

What is not known is that Xia Xiaohui is actually a little afraid of the dark.

Before she was sent to an orphanage, she had the experience of being locked up in a dark room and being sold by traffickers.

She still remembers that the room was very dark and damp, surrounded by children who had been abducted like her, crying and screaming, but there was no way to do it, and some children were sick, wheezing in the dark, moaning in pain.

Almost instantly, Xia Xiaohui felt like she was back in the past.

She held her breath, felt a chill in her hands and feet, and felt a pang of weakness throughout her body.

After a long while, Xia Xiaohui felt that she had calmed down.

Slowly exhaling, Xia Xiaohui fumbled and got the mobile phone on the table and lit up the screen.

The light of the mobile phone became the only light in the dim office, Xia Xiaohui's face turned pale, lit the flashlight of the mobile phone, and began to clean up the things on the table.

Before the things were finished, I heard a prompt sound from the mobile phone, and the phone was almost out of battery.

Xia Xiaohui couldn't help but speed up the action of cleaning up.

After putting away the things completely, Xia Xiaohui hurriedly walked towards the door with her mobile phone.

If the phone strikes, she won't be able to see anything, how will she leave then?

He walked to the door and stretched out his hand to pull the door, but it did not open.

Xia Xiaohui was stunned for a moment.

By the light of her phone, she could see through the crack that the door was locked.

She knew that every day after work, a security guard would come up to check it, turn off the lights and lock it.

But every time the security guard will go in and inspect the door to ensure that someone leaves without turning off the lights, she is also afraid that someone will stay overtime and be locked inside.

But this time, there were no security guards to check on them, which is unconscionable.

Unless the security guard thinks there's no one inside.

Xia Xiaohui suddenly thought that Guan Shan had just come in to get something, and after she left, the public relations department was cut off and the door was locked.

At this time, no matter how much Xia Xiaohui doubted, it was useless, the key was to get out of here.

At this time, Xia Xiaohui's mobile phone sounded again.

Xia Xiaohui hurriedly turned off the flashlight of the mobile phone, and the flashlight of the mobile phone is also very power-consuming.

Without the light of the flashlight, the mobile phone screen dimmed, Xia Xiaohui was a little scared, biting her lip and sitting down against the corner.

Only by leaning back against the wall in this way can Xia Xiaohui feel a little sense of security.

Xia Xiaohui gritted her teeth and held back her emotions and made a phone call to go out.

"Hey, Creek, how are you doing? How can you call me when you are available? The phone was connected, and there was a voice of surprise over there.

Xia Xiaohui's heart warmed slightly, and she said in a low voice: "I'm okay, Yue'er, what about you?" ”

"I'm fine, didn't I tell you that I was going out to travel all over Wuyue? I'm traveling right now, but unfortunately you're busy with work, so I didn't dare to call you, you won't be angry with me, right? Blue Moon was excited at first, but finally looked a little apprehensive.

Yue'er is not in Shashi.

Xia Xiaohui only felt that her heart had fallen to the bottom.

"Xiaoxi, why don't you speak? Did something happen? Over there, Lan Yue saw that Xia Xiaohui didn't reply, and hurriedly asked.

Xia Xiaohui slowed down and said in a low voice: "No, I originally wanted to ask you out to go shopping, forget it if you are not in Shashi, my phone is out of battery, I will call you again when I go back, you have fun, remember to post pictures." ”

After making a long story short, Xia Xiaohui hung up Lan Yue's phone.

Blue Moon was the only person she could think of, someone she could trust and who could help her, but she wasn't in Shashi, who else could she find?

She filtered through the list of people she knew over and over again, but she couldn't find a suitable candidate.

Xia Xiaohui pursed her lips in some frustration.

Seeing that the battery was about to display a space, Xia Xiaohui pursed her lips and called Yuan Qiyou.

She was saddened to find that she didn't know who to turn to except him.

Anyway, she owes Yuan Qiyou enough, so she doesn't care if she owes it again.

After Yuan Qiyou got off work, he went to the night.

Ruan Zheyu personally went to the door to ask for a look, he naturally would not refuse, they have a lifelong friendship, and the friendship is so deep that it is unimaginable for others.

When Xia Xiaohui called Yuan Qiyou, Ruan Zheyu happened to be interrogating Yuan Qiyou.

"I said Aqing, don't tell me that you and her are really nothing, I don't believe it, tell me honestly, Xiaoxi is she embarrassed to fool me today?" Ruan Zheyu asked.

Seeing Ruan Zheyu so affectionately called Xia Xiaohui Xiaoxi, Yuan Qiyou frowned a little unhappily, but when she thought that her colleagues and friends were called like this, she slowly let go.

Ignoring his question, Yuan Qiyou lowered his head lightly and drank.

Ruan Zheyu was about to ask, but Yuan Qiyou's mobile phone rang.

Seeing that it was Xia Xiaohui's phone, Yuan Qiyou's reason told him that he shouldn't pay attention to this woman who would affect him, but his hand automatically picked up the phone.

"Hey."

Xia Xiaohui heard Yuan Qiyou's voice, and her heart suddenly relaxed: "Yuan Qiyou, come and save me, please." ”“

Hearing Xia Xiaohui's words, Yuan Qiyou's heart tightened, his originally idle sitting posture instantly tensed, he sat up straight, and his whole person was like a beast ready to attack, and his whole body was full of a sense of danger.

Ruan Zheyu, who was about to laugh at him on the side, suddenly put down his thoughts and stared at Yuan Qiyou tightly.

"Where are you?" Yuan Qiyou didn't ask any reason, and directly asked where Xia Xiaohui was.

Xia Xiaohui knew that he was willing to help as soon as he heard it, and he didn't care about being reserved or anything, so he hurriedly said: "I'm in the company, I'm locked, can you come over, or you can call someone to help me open the door, I'm sorry, I really don't want to disturb you, but I can't help it." Hey, are you listening? ”

Xia Xiaohui tried her best to make her voice sound calm, but she still couldn't control her trembling.

However, after she said it for a long time, Yuan Qiyou did not react at all.

Xia Xiaohui knew that it was a shame to be locked in the office, but Yuan Qiyou couldn't ignore her pleas for help because of this, right?

She pressed the button, but the screen was pitch black, without any light, Xia Xiaohui was stunned, the phone was turned off? So what she just said, how much did Yuan Qiyou hear? Will he come and help her?

Xia Xiaohui didn't know, but she lost the last light, and the darkness came towards her like a tide, silent and deep, with unparalleled pressure and fear.

Xia Xiaohui hugged her knees and bit her lip and sat in the corner, as if she had returned to the days when she was locked up in a small black room by traffickers waiting to be trafficked, and her heart was panicked except fear.

"Hey, hey, Xia Xiaohui, where are you, talking?" In the private room at night, Yuan Qiyou only heard Xia Xiaohui say "I'm here" and then there was no movement, and his heart suddenly became anxious, and he spoke quickly and sharply.

However, there was not the slightest response.

Yuan Qiyou put down his phone to take a look, only to find that the call had ended.

suddenly received a distress call from Xia Xiaohui, and hung up without saying anything, this feeling of going up and down made Yuan Qiyou's worry reach its peak.

Yuan Qiyou stood up suddenly, and walked out hurriedly.

"Aqing, do you want to help?" Ruan Zheyu followed and stood up.

"No, trivial, I'll call you again if I need to. I can't drink with you and Zebin, say to Zebin. Yuan Qiyou said without replying.

When he walked to the door, he didn't even have time to say hello to Jiang Zebin, who opened the door and came in, and passed by him directly.

Jiang Zebin followed Yuan Qiyou out of the house, and then looked at Ruan Zheyu in amazement, "Aqing, what's wrong?" What's going on in the company? ”

Nguyen Zheyu said: "It's not the company, it's his little lover." ”

"What little lover? Is that the one named Xia Xiaohui? Jiang Zebin closed the door, walked to the sofa and sat down.

"Yes, I just suddenly answered a phone call, and I don't know what I said, so I hung up the phone and left in a hurry." Ruan Zheyu said.

"Nothing will happen, will it? Do you want to follow along? Jiang Zebin asked with some concern.

"No, A-Qing will call us if there is something, we can't rush to make light bulbs." Ruan Zheyu said with a smile.

"That's right, come, drink." Jiang Zebin raised his glass and clinked glasses with Ruan Zheyu.

Compared with Jiang Zebin and Ruan Zheyu's relaxation, Yuan Qiyou at this moment is racking his brains to think about where Xia Xiaohui will be.

His first reaction was to go to Xia Xiaohui's house.

Racing all the way to the downstairs of Xia Xiaohui's house, but did not see the lights of her house, Yuan Qiyou suddenly frowned.

called Xia Xiaohui's phone, but it was still reported to be turned off.

If she's at home, there's no way she'll run out of power and turn off the phone, unless something happens.

Yuan Qiyou thought about it, and left the car and strode upstairs.

came to Xia Xiaohui's door, knocked on the door but no one answered, Yuan Qiyou took out a very thin wire and opened Xia Xiaohui's door in three or two clicks.

When he was in the special forces, he learned all the skills, and this kind of opening the door couldn't make it difficult for him.

Inside, turn on the light, the room is deserted, and there is no trace of the hostess coming back.

Yuan Qiyou just glanced at it and closed the door and left.

Starting the car again, Yuan Qiyou galloped towards Fu.

Although he has not been in contact with Xia Xiaohui these days, he knows that her life is very monotonous, and when she leaves the company, she is at home, since she is not at home, she should be in the company, except for these two places, he can't think of her anywhere else.

When he arrived at Fu's, Yuan Qiyou went to the security room.

Faced with Yuan Qiyou's sudden arrival, the security guard who had been eating supper again was startled, hurriedly stood up, and stumbled: "Fu, Fu Dong...... You, how did you get here? ”

"When you locked the door today, was there anyone in the PR department?" Yuan Qiyou asked coldly.

The security guard was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "No...... No. ”

"Are you sure you see clearly?" Yuan Qiyou's eyes were cold.

"I'm ......" The security guard wanted to say that he could see clearly, but suddenly remembered that he hadn't gone in today, and suddenly hesitated.

"Grab the keys and go." Yuan Qiyou didn't have the heart to ask, turned around and walked out.

The security guard took the key and hurriedly followed behind Yuan Qiyou.

opened the door of the public relations department, sent a call, and Yuan Qiyou hurriedly walked into the door.

"Xia Xiaohui, Cloud ......"
