When he received his brother's call, Lin Qian was sitting in his hotel room, looking out the window at the vast night scene, wiping his wet hair with a towel.

She had just finished taking a shower. This is a hotel located on the northern outskirts of the city, also far from the AIDA Group. The driver sent her and Li Zhicheng directly here.

For a moment, she thought to herself: I didn't expect her Lin Qian, but she also had a situation where she couldn't go back to her home - because the reporters and the media followed more closely and had to guard against other troublemakers, Li Zhicheng's villa and her rented cottage couldn't go back for the time being.

She didn't know how long it would last.

At this moment, it is already past eleven o'clock at night. The suburbs are even more silent, and all the villages and towns are sporadically lit, and almost all of them have fallen asleep. Only Li Zhicheng was in the living room outside, and the voice of Xue Mingtao, Jiang Yuan and others talking faintly came through the half-covered door:

"Send them all to the police station and say hello to Deputy Director Zhao."

"Journalists can press down."

"Convene a meeting of all department managers and above early tomorrow morning."

……

Li Zhicheng's voice sounded calm and deep. It was precisely because of the calm and quiet anger that Lin Qian felt a stronger deterrent.

Lin Qian walked over and closed the door tightly, and then said to Lin Mochen on the phone: "I'm fine, I'm going to the hotel with Li Zhicheng...... Raid? No, it's just that some people are making trouble, and they are blocked, and we take the opportunity to get in the car and run...... How do they attack me? ”

For her brother, she usually reported good news but not bad news, and even the egg that was smashed did not mention a word.

But this time, she couldn't hide it. Because Lin Mochen said lightly: "Still hiding it from me? I've seen the picture of you being hit by an egg. ”

Where did he see the photo, Lin Qian couldn't figure it out. But knowing that her brother has always had great powers and various means, she didn't ask any more. Just heard him say this, in the end, he was a little aggrieved, and replied: "Okay, I was hit by one, and Li Zhicheng was hit by four or five on his back." It hurt a little, but it didn't hurt. After a pause, he sighed and said, "The trauma of the soul is far greater than the pain of the body. ”

She said this half-truthfully, but Lin Mochen was silent when she heard it.

"Where? I'll come here. ”

Lin Qian hesitated: "Not really, right?" "It's on the cusp.

But obviously, whenever Lin Mochen got angry, it was different from the low air pressure that shrouded Li Zhicheng's body. Not only does he have low air pressure, but he also has a certain evil aura that makes people panic.

He smiled coldly and said, "Address!" ”

Lin Qian immediately told him the name of the hotel and the room number, and he hung up the phone.

Lin Qian couldn't laugh or cry a little. Come on, come on, people are not afraid of shadows. And anyway, it's the elder brother, he definitely won't let the brother and sister suffer again.

With such thoughts, Lin Qian threw his phone to the side and lay down on the bed.

It's strange, obviously I was just hit in the face. Why did she feel physically and mentally exhausted?

Her gaze looked around, and naturally fell on the shirt on the table. It was replaced by Li Zhicheng. At that time, Lin Qian didn't notice it, and only heard a few sounds of smashing eggs behind him. After getting in the car, I realized that Li Zhicheng's arms and back had already been smashed into yellow, yellow and white. Somehow, when Lin Qian saw him being smashed, he was even more aggrieved and angry than when he was hit. There was only one thought in his head: how could they smash him? They have no idea how he is doing his best to protect the national brand!

Thinking of this, Lin Qian's heart was filled with a familiar sullen emotion. She jumped out of bed, picked up Li Zhicheng's shirt, and went into the bathroom.

Li Zhicheng just took a quick shower and went out to talk to the others. Lin Qian originally wanted to go out, but it was probably because she was smashed today, which made him completely distressed. So he just bowed his head and kissed her, and then said, "I'll deal with it, you rest, stay inside and don't have to come out." ”

Usually, Li Zhicheng never stopped her from participating in the discussion of official business, but at this moment, it is unusual, Lin Qian feels his strong protection*. So her heart softened, nodded, and obediently stayed in the bedroom.

The water was raging, and Lin Qian carefully rubbed his shirt. It was the first time she had washed his shirt. On the days of living together, both of them were busy, and almost all the clothes were handed over to the washing machine and the dry cleaner. And he, although he is a complete machismo, has been in the army for so many years and is used to doing it himself. So Lin Qian didn't even wash a pair of underwear for him.

Thinking of this, her heart felt soft, rubbing the soft fabric under her hands, as if she could still feel the temperature of his skin.

She wanted to be nicer to him, she thought, and take care of him a little more.

As he was concentratingly washing, there was a soft sound, and the bathroom door was pushed open.

Li Zhicheng walked in, still wearing a simple shirt and trousers, and looked at her with gloomy eyes.

Lin Qian glanced behind him, and the outside room was already quiet. So she asked, "Are they gone?" ”

"Hmm." He stood by the washstand, his eyes falling on her hands, "Why did you come to wash my clothes?" ”

Lin Qian smiled slightly, lifted the clothes and rinsed them again, then unscrewed them, hung them on a hanger, and walked back to the bedroom. Li Zhicheng put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked out behind her.

Lin Qian hung his shirt on the balcony, and then clapped his hands. The balcony was very windy, but it seemed to blow away the haze in people's hearts. She was a little stunned and looked into the distance. Li Zhicheng wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, lowered his head and began to gnaw on her neck.

Lin Qian's heart softened, he held his hand, and whispered: "Zhicheng, I just saw a few old employees of Aida among the troublemakers. ”

After saying this, she kept her mouth shut.

It was a really old employee, and when Aida was in the most difficult time of the year, those few people never abandoned the company. For such a person, Li Zhicheng and Lin Qian will both notice.

But today, I don't know who instigated them, they also stood in the crowd of protesters.

And the incitement is just an external cause, maybe they don't know about her, maybe they are too uncomfortable because Lao Aida is controlled by DG. But seeing them standing there today, Lin Qian was really chilled.

Li Zhicheng paused and raised his head.

His hands propped up on the balcony, still enclosing her in his arms. This posture made Lin Qian feel extremely warm, turned his head and rubbed his neck, and then looked up at him.

He also looked down at her:

"How can you be as good as you want, but please be worthy of my heart."

Lin Qian nodded.

It's just that, having said that, there is always a sense of stagnation in my heart that I have been misunderstood.

If......

If she Lin Qian is not Li Zhicheng's subordinate today, she doesn't have to rely on him to develop her career - at least in the eyes of the outside world - even if she is Lin Mochen's sister, how can others have the opportunity to gossip?

The thought flashed through my mind, as if a window had been opened, and more thoughts and impulses came to me. She didn't say anything, just silently thought about those things. And Li Zhicheng didn't realize it, he also had his own thoughts. For a moment when Lin Qian was stunned, he looked at her forehead, eyes, and bridge of her nose quietly.

Except for a faint bruise above the bridge of the nose, there were no injuries. Li Zhicheng stretched out his hand and gently stroked the small bruise with his fingertips. Lin Qian's whole heart softened when he touched it. This man's pity is silent and silent, but it is also moving.

"Isn't it embarrassing?" She pursed her lips.

Li Zhicheng glanced at her, stopped stroking, and took her into his arms with one hand, looking at the boundless night together.

"Well, it's embarrassing." He replied in a low voice, "But it's me who is even more embarrassed, watching you get hurt in front of me." ”

Lin Qian's heart was shocked, and he looked at his handsome and quiet side face in the night. After all, he didn't say anything, and reached out to hug him.

——

"Ding-dong-"

When the doorbell rang, Lin Qian let go and said "It's my brother who came." ”

Li Zhicheng was noncommittal, and took her hand and walked back to the living room. Lin Qian blinked: "You stay on the side." He let go of his hand and opened the door.

Outside the door, Lin Mochen was dressed in a black windbreaker, tall and long, his handsome face seemed to be stained with the coldness of the night, and his eyes were cold and deep, looking at her fixedly.

He glanced at Li Zhicheng behind her again, and then walked in and closed the door.

The light in the living room was soft, and Lin Mochen didn't take off his coat, he reached out and grabbed Lin Qian, looking down at her face. So his face was a little ugly, and the next action was exactly the same as Li Zhicheng - he reached out and gently touched the bruise.

Lin Qian whispered: "Brother...... It's fine. ”

Lin Mochen glanced at her and let her go. Compared to the anger he had in the office before, he was now completely calm and calm. Raising his eyes and exchanging glances with Li Zhicheng, the two walked over and sat down on the sofa.

This time, Li Zhicheng didn't rush Lin Qian back to the bedroom, so she sat down next to him and grabbed his arm.

Three people, six eyes, a moment of silence. Lin Mochen spoke first, his voice was sparse: "What are you going to do?" ”

Li Zhicheng replied: "All the people have been caught and sent to the police station." This matter ......," he glanced at Lin Qian, "I don't plan to delve into it for the time being." Leave it for later, and I will teach the perpetrators behind me a lesson. ”

Lin Mochen nodded, his long legs were folded, and his hands were on his knees and tapped gently: "It's really not suitable to pursue it now, the more you draw it, the darker it gets." He also glanced at Lin Qian: "Suffer a little first, and then avenge you in the future." ”

Lin Qian was laughed at by the two of them instead. How could she ignore the overall situation because of this little grievance? On the contrary, they were both angry when it happened. Fortunately, the two of them have always been sensible, and now they have also made the decision to plan and then act.

At this time, Lin Mochen asked again: "How are you going to fight later?" ”

is a very ordinary question, but it makes Lin Qian and Li Zhicheng slightly stunned.

Because Lin Mochen has always been not involved in the acquisition of Aida, of course, he only asks about their anti-takeover business war, which is neutral. Now suddenly asked......

Lin Qian spoke first: "Brother, what do you want to do?" Why do you ask this? ”

Li Zhicheng glanced at her and didn't speak. But the calm and sharp eyes seemed to have insight into what Lin Mochen was thinking.

Sure enough, Lin Mochen smiled faintly and said, "Lin Qian, I have my own principles. I didn't show any favoritism to you before, and in the same way, now that someone has hit you with an idea, do you think I will still connive? Ridiculous provocation, self-defeating. ”

Li Zhicheng had a faint smile in his eyes, and he seemed to have something to do with him.

"But!" Lin Qian frowned, "What about your work?" ”

Lin Mochen replied indifferently: "There's nothing to do." The acquisition of Xinbaorui and Simic in my hand has been transferred to a colleague and it is impossible to continue. ”

Lin Qian opened his mouth and didn't speak. He ignored her and chatted with Li Zhicheng.

"Now DG is playing the brand brand, and Zamon is the first foreign brand in China." Lin Mochen said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Li Zhicheng replied in a deep voice: "The higher you hold, the harder you fall." I've done in-depth research, and although Zamon is a first-tier brand in the United States, it is far from the top luxury brand they have created, and the price is the same as other luxury goods, which is very different between China and overseas. ”

Lin Mochen's eyes narrowed, he thought for a moment, and there was a smile in his eyes: "You plan to break through from there?" ”

"Hmm." Li Zhicheng replied calmly, "The most important factor that constitutes luxury goods is price. The price is the customer's benefit, and the high price increases the credibility of the product*. If the price system is disputed, customers will feel that their interests are damaged, and the reputation of the product and the brand will collapse together......"

The two of them lowered their heads, across the corner of the coffee table, their postures were calm, their eyes were staggered, and they were talking to themselves. Lin Qian had already let go of Li Zhicheng and sat on the sofa by himself. She looked at the two of them with the same cold and focused faces, and listened to their equally unwarm voices, but her thoughts rolled far, far away.

The first thing that came to her mind was that the problems her brother encountered were not as simple as he said.

If he intervenes in the war of foreign investment, it will certainly not be enough to withdraw from the takeover team. DG was a customer of their company, and when things evolved, he had to resign.

Of course, my brother has his own company, and his financial investment in the past few years is just due to interest. But because of her, it affects his career plan, which is not what she wants to see.

And what about Li Zhicheng?

Lin Qian's gaze was condensed on his face. Calm, indifferent, handsome face. At this moment, he was sitting with his brother, looking young, handsome, and calm. There seem to be thousands of furrows in her chest, and she doesn't need to worry about it as a woman at all. But Lin Qian thought of the doubts he was about to face, that is, he would be uncomfortable.

What made her feel most uncomfortable was about herself.

The problems that she had been vaguely feeling all along, the ones that had been exposed to her again and again tonight, were now so clear that she had to look at them directly. Of course, she can also let it go and continue to maintain the status quo. The status quo is very good, the two of them are as strong as two mountains, and she is behind their barrier to show her talents, enjoy life, love and family affection surround her, and she is already many, much happier than many people.

But that's not enough. She didn't know enough.

Once that thought took root in her mind, it aroused deep pride and enthusiasm in her bones.

She thought: If she is not attached to Li Zhicheng's career now, how can others question it? As Li Zhicheng said, only the strong have the right to speak. If she has the ability to prove her innocence, how dare others slander half a word? Chen Zheng didn't dare, didn't dare to treat her as a weakness of Li Zhicheng again, and repeatedly provoked; The journalist did not dare, because she put her talent and character in front of the public.

Those old employees of Aida will no longer doubt her. Because she doesn't need it at all, she is attached to their sincerity and existence.

These thoughts repeatedly hit her brain, turning into a strong will and longing. She knew she had to do it. There are some things in life that you have to do, which you simply cannot resist and cannot ignore. You seem to have seen your destiny change, and a voice says in your heart over and over again: That's what you have to do.

……

She looked up again and looked at the two men who were "plotting" in front of her.

“…… I'll keep a low profile at this stage. Li Zhicheng said lightly, "Give an explanation for this matter within the company." ”

"Not bad." Lin Mochen raised his eyebrows slightly, "I can let her authorize all the equity rights of Mingde in her hand to you first, so that she can be regarded as making a statement." Glancing at Lin Qian again: "She left Mingde for the time being, and she should no longer engage in any work related to Aida and fade out of the public eye." ”

Li Zhicheng also looked at Lin Qian, stared at her for a moment, and he nodded: "Okay." ”

Seeing that she was a little stunned, Lin Mochen smiled instead, and said to her lightly: "Let Li Zhicheng Jinwu hide Jiaojiao during this time, and we will deal with the outside affairs." After a while, the DG is completely defeated, and you will naturally be wronged. Feel relieved. ”

Li Zhicheng also reached out to put his arm around her shoulder, probably seeing that she had been silent, he whispered in a deep voice: "Okay?" ”

At this time, Lin Mochen and Li Zhicheng both thought that Lin Qian would definitely say yes. Because she has always been smart and knows how to advance and retreat, after encountering major events, she will basically obey their arrangements.

Lin Qian raised his head, first glanced at his brother, and then looked directly at Li Zhicheng.

"Not good." Crisp and crisp sound.

Li Zhicheng and Lin Mochen were silent at the same time.

A playful smile appeared in Lin Mochen's eyes, leaned back on the sofa, took a sip of tea, and did not speak. Li Zhicheng looked at the woman in his arms with gloomy eyes, and after a while, he actually had the same reaction, and smiled faintly.

"Why?" He asked.

It was the first time for Lin Qian to express such thoughts in front of the two of them. She was a little shy, but more determined. She raised her eyes, looked at them fixedly, and said, "With a cup of tea, you have already arranged all the things that will happen in the future and the storms you may encounter." I also arranged what I should do and where I went. But this time, your arrangement is the safest thing for me, but not the best thing for me. ”

At this time, Lin Mochen and Li Zhicheng were both slightly stunned. Lin Mochen put down the teacup and slowly repeated her words: "Do you think my arrangement is not good for you?" Li Zhicheng stared at her quietly, staring at her delicate eyebrows and eyes, staring at her quiet and firm expression. His hand was still on her waist, his fingers silently rubbing against her skin. Looking at her so stubbornly, he had vaguely guessed what she wanted to say.

Then suddenly there was an urge to completely hold her in his arms and not let her leave his control and protection.

Lin Qian didn't notice the undercurrent in the man's eyes, pursed his lips that were a little dry, and said in a clear voice: "No, you guys are very good to me." Brother, you are going to quit your current job for my sake, and it will have an impact on your reputation in the industry; Li Zhicheng ......" she smiled helplessly, "Now everyone thinks that you are confused by beauty and want to sell the national brand." ”

She stood up suddenly, and let out a long breath in their sight.

"However, there are some things that I have to face and solve by myself. No matter how good you two are, no matter how much you sacrifice for me, you can't solve it.

You may be able to defeat DG easily, and you can convince the public that AIDA is a staunch national brand. But will they really believe in their hearts that I, Lin Qian, have not done anything about internal and external collusion? In the future, when I return to the luggage industry, the name 'Lin Qian' will always have a vague stain. Everyone thinks of this rumor.

How can I expect things to change and people to forget and give me my innocence back in this way? No, I don't want to be plausible, don't be an obscure topic. I want to prove my innocence in my own way. I want everyone to clearly see that I, Lin Qian, don't care about doing anything at all. I'm going to stand up for myself, stand in front of them, impress them, and never be able to misunderstand me anymore, no longer be able to ignore me as 'some woman who relies on men to get on top'.

I'm going to ...... Let them see. ”

——

When Lin Mochen left, it was already past one o'clock in the morning.

Lin Qian sent him out of the room.

He turned to look at her, his eyes still playful.

"As you wish, I can stay out of it for a while." He said calmly, "But DG had better pray that you can succeed, otherwise my sister can't do it, so I will naturally change my brother." ”

Lin Qian sneered, stretched out his hand and hugged him gently: "Brother, thank you." ”

A smile also appeared in Lin Mochen's eyes. His gaze crossed over to her and he glanced at Li Zhicheng in the room. Then let go of her and turned away.

Lin Qian watched him get on the elevator all the time, and then closed the door and re-entered the house.

Just after she confessed her thoughts, her brother happily agreed to her request - to stay out of the matter for the time being.

He actually understands what she wants, just like the brother and sister have been together for all these years.

Lin Qian's heart softened for a while, and he raised his head again and looked at Li Zhicheng sitting on the sofa.

It was already the middle of the night, and he didn't feel the slightest bit tired and sleepy. With his elbows on his knees and his fingers clasped together, he gazed at her in a pensive manner.

Such dark and sharp eyes always made Lin Qian's heartstrings tremble. She walked over to him and sat down, took his arm, and leaned into his shoulder. The cheeks of the two were lightly pressed against each other like this, and Lin Qian could feel that he turned his face slightly sideways, and the hot breath of his breath sprayed on her forehead - he was looking at her.

Lin Qian couldn't help but laugh, and said softly: "Disobey your arrangement and get angry?" ”

In fact, she knew that Li Zhicheng would not be angry, and she was just deliberately teasing. Just said what I thought to these two most important men. At this moment, her feeling was hearty, and her heart was swept away. She is now eager to return to her new factory and put new products into production immediately—as she just said, to let everyone see Lin Qian's own brand.

As soon as the words fell, Li Zhicheng suddenly reached out and clasped her shoulders, pressed her on the sofa, and stared at her condescendingly.

Lin Qian blinked, also staring at his impassive face.

"How much time?" He asked.

Lin Qian's heart softened fiercely, and he replied: "When you launch a big counterattack, I will come back." ”

I will definitely come back.

With my own brand, with my loyalty, to help you get back to the top of the industry.

Standing side by side with you, it turns out that that is the love I have longed for all my life.

The author has something to say: * This theory is quoted from Al Rees, Jack Strauss

guessed wrong, it's not that Brother Lin wants to rise, it's Lin Qian who wants to rise. I said earlier. Although their love and career have been going well, they have also been developing and changing. From Lin Qian's hazy good impression at the beginning, to being prohibitive, to being irresistible, and to the cold contradiction in the middle of the way, it slowly ran in. Now, Lin Qian finally took the initiative to adjust the position of the two people, so that the relationship between the two entered a new and finally mature stage. This is their love.

Okay, entering the end of the big counteroffensive, everyone has stepped into their own ending, except for the hero and heroine, probably every supporting role is facing a very realistic ending.
