Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
Listening to Chen Qi's lethal words, Manager Zhao's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at him with a shocked expression, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
"What did you say?" he asked, incredulous.
Chen Qi looked at him, showed a harmless smile, and did not speak.
"No......" Manager Zhao walked out from behind the desk very quickly, and looked at Chen Qi with an old face in disbelief, "You ......"
His lips moved a few times, but in the end he couldn't say a complete sentence.
He was stunned!
It's early in the morning, who did he provoke?
What's going on?
"Manager, let's recruit it. Chen Qi shamelessly put on an underwhelming expression for his sake, "Don't pretend anymore, are you tired?"
Manager Zhao's whole face wrinkled, and after staring at him for a few seconds, he asked, "Who told you?"
"Do you still need someone else to say it? Even they can see it. Chen Qi looked at him with disgust, and casually pointed to the creative department next door.
"Is it so obvious?" Manager Zhao couldn't accept this result.
He thinks he's doing something pretty hidden!
Listening to this sentence, which was an indirect acknowledgment, Chen Qi's eyes also lit up slightly.
This matter is really related to Xu Bunian.
"What did Mr. Xu tell you?" he asked quietly.
Manager Zhao sat on the desk a little depressed, and asked instead of answering: "What is the relationship between you and Mr. Xu, what are you doing?"
Chen Qi looked embarrassed and said, "I want to say that it has nothing to do with him, do you believe it?"
"What do you say?" Manager Zhao gave him a look of disdain.
It's okay? It's okay that he takes care of you so much? Are you stupid or am I stupid?
Chen Qi laughed, looked at him a little helplessly, and said, "This thing...... I really don't know how to explain it to you, anyway, you just tell me what you know, I promise not to tell Mr. Xu. ”
"Then wouldn't it be better for you to ask him directly?" Manager Zhao looked at him angrily and complained: "You two bigwigs play the game of hiding and guessing, why are you doing a part-time job for me?"
"Is it because Mr. Xu won't let you say it?" Chen Qi asked.
Manager Zhao squinted at him, sneered, and didn't speak.
He's annoyed!
What kind of mess is this?
"Okay, don't forget it, I'll ask Mr. Xu myself. Chen Qi turned to leave.
Although Manager Zhao didn't admit it personally, he had already got the answer he wanted. He knew that it was indeed enough for Xu Bunian to support him in the back.
"Knock knock!"
It was at this time that there was a knock on the door.
Manager Zhao instantly sorted out the expression on his face, and said lightly: "Come in." ”
The office door opened, and Xu Bunian, who was holding a document, walked in.
Chen Qi was slightly stunned.
Manager Zhao, who had just changed into a normal expression, also widened his eyes slightly, and his eyes kept moving on Chen Qi and Xu Bunian.
What kind of bloody plot is this?
Do you dare to be a little more clever?
"This plan ......" Xu Bunian, who was looking down at the document, seemed to notice something in the middle of his words, and glanced up.
Then, he was also stunned for a moment, and cast an inquiring glance at Manager Zhao without a trace.
His meaning is very simple, what is Chen Qi doing here? Why is the atmosphere weird?
Manager Zhao glanced at him, then turned his head to look at Chen Qi, and didn't know what to say for a while.
You can't say that Chen Qi is here to question him, right?
But what he didn't expect was that at this time, Chen Qi spoke.
"Mr. Xu, Manager Zhao has already told me. ”
"???" Manager Zhao gasped sharply and looked at him with wide eyes and disbelief.
That look, as if to say: Little brother, what's the matter with you?
What if you promise to tell him?
Turn around and sell me?
And in front of me?
At this moment, Manager Zhao was really a little confused.
He's seen people who don't play cards according to the routine, but he's never seen it so natural!
What about the most basic trust between people?
On the side, Xu Bunian was also a little confused, his eyes scanned back and forth on Manager Zhao and Chen Qi, looking dazed that he hadn't figured out the situation yet.
"What did you say?" he wondered.
"Stop! Stop! I didn't say anything!" Manager Zhao was tortured so much that he couldn't stand it, and after weakly refuting himself, he turned around and walked outside, "Solve your own business, I won't get involved!"
"Bang!"
He closed the door with great interest.
Xu Bunian looked at Chen Qi blankly and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Qi looked at him and asked very sincerely, "Mr. Xu, why do you take special care of me?"
Xu Bunian was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of sudden realization, shook his head with some tears and laughter, looked at him and asked, "You saw it yourself?"
Chen nodded.
Xu Bunian was silent for a few seconds, as if hesitating how to tell him.
Chen Qi suddenly said: "Mr. Xu, please tell me the truth, otherwise I will leave now." ”
Xu Bunian glanced at him, and after thinking about it, he said, "You wait, I'll make a call first." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Chen Qi to say anything, he dialed a number in front of him.
Ten seconds later, the call was answered.
"Chairman, he knows. Xu Bunian said to the other end of the phone.
He didn't avoid Chen Qi, nor did he deliberately lower the volume.
Chen Qi, who was on the side, couldn't help but be taken aback after hearing this, and looked at him with some surprise.
Chairman?
Why is it still related to the chairman?
"Okay, okay, I got it. At this moment when he was stunned, Xu Bunian had already finished making the call.
Chen Qi looked at him a little blankly, waiting for his explanation.
Unexpectedly, Xu Bunian didn't say anything, just looked at him with a smile.
"???" Chen Qi unconsciously widened his eyes a little, and the expression on his face became more and more puzzled.
What does it mean not to speak?
It was at this time that his cell phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw an unfamiliar number.
I don't know if it's the sixth sense or what, he suddenly looked up at Xu Bunian.
Xu Bunian nodded with a smile and motioned for him to answer the phone.
Chen Qi slowly retracted his gaze and pressed the answer button in disbelief, "Hey?"
"Chen Qi?" was a deep male voice on the other end of the phone.
"Yes. ”
"Let's meet, let Xu Bunian send you over. ”
Chen Qi was silent for two seconds, and then took the phone in front of him with some uncertainty and glanced at it, and only after making sure that there was no such number in his address book did he ask cautiously, "Who are you?"
"My name is Shen Mowen. The other party paused, and then added, "Your father's friend." ”
