Chapter 137: Next Door (1st Update)
Chen Xi didn't believe that Su Xiaoran would go far away in such a short time, he could feel that she was nearby, but he couldn't see or hear.
After turning around in place a few times, Chenxi walked back the same way, the rain began to fall again, it is not the rainy season, but it always rains these days, as if God is crying.
Chenxi would pay special attention to everyone he saw on the road, so that in the end, some people thought he was an eccentric man who went out to hunt at night, and even began to avoid him with disgusted eyes.
When he returned to the hotel, the rain had already fallen to the maximum, Chenxi was wet, the waiter hurriedly ran out to greet him, and asked him with concern why he didn't bring an umbrella and go out again? Chen Xi smiled faintly, he was so tired that he didn't want to explain anything.
When I returned to the room, I quickly took a hot shower, and now I can't relax my vigilance, whether the thing is successful or not, the key depends on Qiao Jiang's reaction. The hateful thing is that the old fox has not stood still until now, and it is difficult to guess what he wants to do.
The only thing Chen Xi can guess is that Qiao Jiang will definitely not give up, Chu Feng's case has been destroyed, which is equivalent to inserting a thorn in Qiao Jiang's heart, and he will definitely fight back.
With the sound of rain, Chenxi lay on the bed and looked at everything about Su Xiaoran on his phone. He remembered that two years ago, when he was returning to China for vacation, he met her by chance in a café, and at that time she was disheveled, pale, and seemed to be very unhappy, but he was still impressed by her at first sight.
It's too similar, Su Xiaoran and Xiaomeng are simply carved out of the same mold.
Chenxi admitted that at first he began to deliberately approach her because of that little resemblance, including returning to China and going to work in the branch, but Han Xiya's wedding was definitely unexpected by him.
It was by chance that she identified herself as her current boyfriend in public, and he, although he was very useful, still had to pretend to be at a loss.
He thought that this kind of chasing me would continue, until he discovered Su Xiaoran's life experience.
Hua Mu is really too good at concealing it, she has hidden it from everyone, if it wasn't for Chenxi to find out, maybe there will never be a second person in this world who knows that secret.
After thinking about it, he still didn't feel sleepy, Chen Xi simply got up and put on a coat: he planned to go downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes, preferably another bottle of beer.
There is a convenience store next to the hotel, Chenxi came there and asked for a pack of cigarettes, the boss handed over the lighter, and asked him with a smile when he would stay, Chenxi did not go home to live in Melbourne this time, but stayed in this hotel for a short time, the purpose was very simple, he wanted to prevent Qiao Jiang from attacking him.
Chenxi took a puff of his cigarette, shook his head and smiled, not going to answer his question. After smoking a cigarette, Chen Xi took another bottle of wine and returned to the hotel.
Holding a cigarette in his left hand and a wine bottle in his right hand, and wearing a long windbreaker on his body, Chenxi now looks a bit like a street homeless, the rain is still falling, in order to avoid getting wet again when he goes back, Chenxi pulled up the hat of the windbreaker to block the rain above his head. Back at the hotel, the elevator door happened to be open, and there were about a few people inside, Chen Xi lowered his head and walked in, perhaps because of the smell of wine on his body, he consciously stood in the corner.
On the second floor, Chen Xi walked out, and someone seemed to have walked out behind him, Chen Xi didn't pay attention, took out the room card and opened the door, walked in, closed the door, and the action was so coherent.
But he didn't notice that it was next door, just now, Su Xiaoran was standing in the innermost corner of the elevator, as soon as he stepped out with his front foot, she followed with her back foot, and then later, when he opened the door, she was also looking for a room card, and the two people with their own hearts were so close, but they didn't find that the other party was next to him.
A wall apart.
Chenxi took off his windbreaker, sat down at the window and began to smoke. Su Xiaoran turned on the TV, turned on the video and chatted with Qiqi for a while, Qiqi asked where Su Xiaoran was, Su Xiaoran smiled: I just won't tell you!
It wasn't until one o'clock in the middle of the night that Su Xiaoran fell asleep with her mobile phone, and she accidentally slept well this night, and didn't wake up until nine o'clock in the morning.
Today's itinerary is very clear, Su Xiaoran wants to see Chenxi's real home, the picturesque house he once showed her.
Simply cleaned up, Su Xiaoran came to the front desk to check out, the rain finally stopped overnight, the ground was washed by the rain, it was unusually clean, Su Xiaoran put on his backpack and stood at the door of the hotel waiting for a taxi.
After stopping a taxi, Su Xiaoran immediately got into the car, and behind him, Chen Xi happened to come out of the door of the hotel, he ran over, and just went downstairs, he saw a person who was suspected of being Su Xiaoran's back, but when he ran outside, the person was gone.
Chen Xi shook his hand vigorously, and could only get in the car and go to the headquarters, he has been in the past few days, and he must get a definite answer from Qiao Jiang today.
……
Headquarters, Qiao Jiang Office.
Chenxi broke in directly, and the secretary followed him in, bowing his head and apologizing: "Chairman, I can't stop him." ”
Qiao Jiang was originally checking the information, but when he raised his head and saw Chenxi, he smiled, and unexpectedly did not scold the secretary, "You go out!" ”
The secretary went out and closed the door, Qiao Jiang got up and made a gesture of invitation: "Chenxi, sit here and have some tea?" ”
"My time is precious, I'm afraid I can't talk nonsense with Uncle Qiao."
"Hehe, you're getting more and more like your father. Do you know that your father was also very stubborn back then, and no one could say anything about him! ”
"I'm afraid you're not qualified to talk about him yet."
Qiao Jiang was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Chen Xi, and the corners of his mouth hooked a curved arc. Maybe he had long expected that Chenxi would not have a good tone, so he didn't get angry, but still sat down with a smile on his face, made hot water by himself, and said slowly: "You said last time that you wanted to exchange Chu Feng's case with me?" What if I don't? Although Chu Feng is short of a piece of fat, I don't lack that piece either, this world is so big, where can I go to do business? ”
"It's new, I've never heard Uncle Joe have such an understanding and opinion. You can not agree, but in the future, the headquarters and the branch must be completely separated, and I will do it myself on Chu Feng's side, how about it? ”
"You want to separate the company?!"
This was unexpected, the teacup in his hand trembled, and his eyes flashed with anger and surprise that could not be hidden.
Chen Xi rushed to this momentum and continued: "Since Uncle Qiao looks down on Chu Feng so much, then it is better to leave it to me to do it myself, besides, the branch has nothing to do with you now, and I don't ask to get back the shares that belong to my father, which is already very merciful." ”
"You...... You're smart! ”
Qiao Jiang changed his words and changed back to a smiling face. "I have been friends with your father for so many years, you and Xiaoyan have grown up together since childhood, Chenxi, I still have the old saying, marry Xiaoyan, let alone the branch, the whole company is yours, what are you not satisfied with?"
"It seems that you are not sincere in negotiating conditions." Chen Xi sneered, he didn't want to talk nonsense with Qiao Jiang anymore. As soon as he saw that Chenxi was leaving, Qiao Jiang immediately stood up: "Stop!" I'm already very sincere, my Qiao someone's woman, isn't it still worthy of you?! ”
"Not everything can be measured by price, Uncle Joe, the Tao is different, and it is not the same. My kindness to you has reached its limit, let's wait for the separation! ”
Chen Xi left, he understood that no matter how urgent the situation was, Qiao Jiang would bite his little equity and not let go. The most important thing now is Su Xiaoran's safety.
Chen Xi decided to find Su Xiaoran, take her back to China immediately, and then find a place where no one knows about it to start over, so that no one can disturb them.
But where to find it?
Standing downstairs at the headquarters, Chenxi suddenly lost his direction, he forcibly calmed himself down, and thought about why Su Xiaoran came here, and at that moment, he thought of the painting.
Chenxi got into the car and went home quickly. On the way, he called Uncle Li, who was in charge of the house, but no one answered the phone. Half an hour later, Chenxi came to the house where he hadn't returned for a long time, he found the key to open the door and enter, but no one was seen.
"Young Master, are you back?"
Hearing the voice, Chenxi turned around, only to see that in the lawn in front of the door, Uncle Li, who was guarding the door, was wearing a straw hat and holding scissors in his hand to mow the lawn.
"Why didn't anyone answer my call to you just now?"
"Me, I left my phone at home." Uncle Li smiled innocently, and kept rubbing his hands on his apron, "Young Master, what do you want to eat at noon?" I'm going grocery shopping! ”
"No need!" Chen Xi turned his gaze away in disappointment, and then asked, "In the past few days, has anyone else been here?" ”
"These days?" Uncle Li was very serious in recalling, and then said very surely: "No! I watched from home every day, and I didn't see anyone at all. Master, what's wrong? ”
"It's okay, you're busy!"
Almost no stay, Chen Xi turned around and walked out of the house, this house is his work in the past few years, he designed it himself, and he did it himself when he decorated it.
Over the years, getting along with Qiao Jiang's family has made him feel depressed, he longs to have a space of his own, and after meeting Su Xiaoran, he once thought about bringing her here.
It's a secret between them, and no one knows it.
Walking outside, Chen Xi didn't go back to the car directly, but walked along the long street, he was still thinking about where Su Xiaoran might go, he didn't dare to make a big deal about using his connections to find her, because then Qiao Jiang would know her whereabouts.
Difficult.
Chen Xi still decided to bother Qiqi again, he knew that if someone really knew Su Xiaoran's whereabouts, then it could only be Qiqi.
The person who answered the phone was actually Huayan, which surprised Chenxi. Hua Yan said that Qiqi was drunk last night and didn't wake up until now, Chen Xi knew the other meanings behind this sentence, he was stunned, asked Hua Yan for Su Xiaoran's current number, and decided to ask for it himself.
