"This bet, it looks like you're losing." Huo Beixiao said thoughtfully while sipping his drink.

Gu Nanyin frowned slightly: "You shouldn't expose me, if I don't show up, maybe the situation will be different." ”

Huo Beixiao shook his finger: "You can't hide it." Some people, no matter how low-key they are, can't hide their charm in the crowd, and you belong to such people. ”

Gu Nanyin asked with a wry smile: "After doing it for a long time, you just want to change your tricks to support me?" ”

"It's not about praising you, it's about stating the facts." Huo Beixiao turned his head and stared at Gu Nanyin with a flickering gaze: "I just want you to know how shiny and dazzling you are." ”

Hearing Huo Beixiao say this, Gu Nanyin felt a real emotion for the man in the depths of his heart.

"Beixiao...... I really don't think I'm as good as you say...... But I'm going to do my best, and I'm going to work hard to get what you want it to be! ”

"No need." Huo Beixiao said, holding Gu Nanyin's cheek with his hand: "The way you look now is my favorite look." ”

In the general manager's office of the second branch of Gao's Group, Wu Qian found an assistant to discuss matters related to investing in Tang's company's direct stores.

"The quality of his products is very good, which makes me believe that this will be a good investment. You go down and organize people, dig into the possibilities of this investment, and then make a report to show me. ”

After listening to the boss's instructions, the assistant nodded. She was just about to turn around and go out, when she suddenly seemed to remember something important, and turned sideways again and asked Wu Qian: "Mr. Wu, is there a possibility that the address of the store you just mentioned is wrong?" ”

Wu Qian was slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect her subordinates to ask her like this. She calmly said the address of the Tang Company's direct store in City E again, and then told her assistant with great certainty that she was not mistaken.

After confirming the address, the assistant's face changed instantly. She lowered her voice and said to her boss: "Mr. Wu, the store you are talking about...... It looks like something happened in the early hours of this morning! ”

Hearing this, Wu Qian suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart. She widened her eyes and asked her subordinates, "What's wrong?" ”

The assistant immediately replied: "I heard on the news this morning that a fire broke out in a shop on the west side of the city center in the early hours of the morning, if I am not mistaken...... It looks like the store you mentioned! ”

As soon as these words came out, Wu Qian's brain "buzzed", and she instantly fell into extreme shock.

"Fire...... How is that possible? Obviously everything was fine when I went last night......"

Thinking of this, Wu Qian could no longer resist her urge to explore the truth. She quickly left the office and headed straight for the parking lot.

Sitting in her car, Wu Qian rushed to the store she met last night as quickly as possible. When she reached her destination, she could hardly believe that everything in front of her was real. The chocolate storefront, which was originally like a fairy tale, is now left with a shell that has been burned by the fire. The scene is a mess, where can you find traces of last night's memories?

After being stunned for a long time, Wu Qian got out of the car. She endured the huge accident and loss in her heart, and found a staff member of the directly managed store at the scene.

"Excuse me...... Why did your good shop suddenly catch fire? ”

The staff put down the cleaning work in their hands and replied with a sad face: "Don't mention Miss, the fire suddenly burned out in the middle of the night last night." By the time we got the news, the fire engine had been spraying water for several minutes. But the fire was too big, and when it was extinguished, it became what it is now. ”

Wu Qian hurriedly frowned and asked, "Are there any injuries in the store?" ”

"Not really, it's a blessing in misfortune."

"Where's your store manager?"

"Oh, she's already urgently back to the headquarters in City A to report to work. This fire is likely to completely destroy our company's idea of opening a store in City E...... Alas! Let's see what our chairman decides......"

After listening to the other party's words, Wu Qian's heart was extremely heavy. Originally, she was very optimistic about the development of Tang's company in E city and was willing to help them develop the local market. But now it seems that everything has the potential to turn into an ethereal fantasy. A promising project died in its infancy.

After regretting it for a long time, firefighters arrived on the side and persuaded Wu Qian to stay away from the scene to cooperate with their investigation. Wu Qian seized the last opportunity and asked the other party what the cause of this fire was.

"At the moment, according to the clues we have, there is a high possibility of arson. However, the final results of the investigation are subject to our official announcement in the media. ”

After listening to the fireman's words, Wu Qian thoughtfully retreated to the side of her car. She frowned and looked puzzled, who would have the leisure to set fire to a chocolate shop that wasn't open yet? What's more, this store is still opened by a foreign company, and it has no grievances with the local business community, no matter which way you think about it, there is no reason for such an accident to happen.

"Could it be...... It is because Tang's company is an enterprise in City A that it ......" Just as Wu Qian was about to conduct an in-depth analysis, she suddenly found a somewhat familiar figure from the crowd of onlookers. Wu Qian immediately came to her senses and completely focused her attention on that person.

"Strange, how do I really think I've seen him somewhere?" The more Wu Qian looked at it, the more she felt that something was wrong, she made up her mind to track it down, took out her mobile phone as quickly as possible, and quietly took a picture of the person's physical features. Then I immediately got in the car and rushed back to my office without hesitation.

"Come here!" Before she could sit firmly in her boss's chair, Wu Qian called her assistant to her side. The mobile phone photo exported from the computer allows the other party to identify the real identity of the suspicious man.

"Look! I've always felt like I've seen this guy somewhere. Can you help me recall, and see if it's an insider of our Gao Group? ”

The assistant squinted and stared at the screen for a long time. Finally, I suddenly said "oh" and remembered a more affirmative answer.

"Mr. Wu, this person seems to be Mr. Pang's subordinate! If I'm not mistaken, I think I've seen him at the first branch before! ”

As soon as these words came out, Wu Qian's heartbeat immediately accelerated a lot. She hurriedly confirmed further, for fear that her assistant would recognize the wrong person.

After careful recall and discernment, the assistant further confirmed his judgment.

"That's right! That's him! Rat! ”

"Mouse?"

"That's right! This man's nickname is Mouse! I don't know where the name came from, but that's what people in their company call him anyway! If it weren't for the fact that he covered most of his face in this photo, I would have recognized him at a glance. ”

Hearing this, Wu Qian had a bottom in her heart.
