Chapter 13 Chapter 12 Meeting Surprise in Despair

This night Qian Duoduo stayed alone on the balcony for a long time. After returning to bed, she had a severe headache and felt heavy all over her body. Xu Fei called in the middle of the night. Dumb, a "Hello" did not make a sound. "How much?" "Well, I'm listening." After coughing, she finally spoke. She is very used to talking to him in the dark. In the past, no matter how busy or tired she was, she always answered exactly, but this day was so difficult that she couldn't help it. Wanting to seek comfort, but not knowing where to start, she finally just sighed softly

"What's wrong?" Just saying that the phone rang again, Xu Fei was a little helpless, "Duoduo, I'll answer the call soon, don't hang up." He answered the phone in English, and she glanced at the LCD clock next to her pillow in the dark. It was past 12 o'clock, and she heard him say that he had just returned to Hong Kong from London and was busy until midnight every day. This man You can really participate in a triathlon. "Okay, Dodo, how's your day?" He ended the call quickly and came back to talk a minute later. "Kenny, when are you coming back? I miss you very much." Not wanting to answer that question, she lay on her back on the bed covering her eyes with her elbows, and slowly uttered these words.

The other end was quiet, and he answered after a long time, "Duo, I'll be back soon, okay?" "Okay." She nodded in the dark, her elbows were cold, she didn't know how to express her desire to hug someone, and finally said only one word. He was silent on the other end, and finally said two words softly, "Go to sleep." The hotel suites are spacious and luxurious, and the moon is setting in the sea outside the window.In the summer night, the blue waves are calm, the sea is shrouded in mist, the phone is still in his hand, and the monotonous disconnection beeps, and he frowned in front of such a beauty, feeling very uncomfortable.

She had a weak voice on the phone just now, asking when he would be back, and saying that she missed him very much.Duoduo has a straightforward personality and rarely says such words, but he does not feel sweet when he hears them, only sad. It was the last few days, success or failure depended on it, it was impossible for him to leave at this time.There are thousands of kilometers away from her, and he has no ribs or wings, no matter how hard he rushes, it is impossible to go back and forth overnight. I miss her, no matter how busy I am these days, I will see her smiling and looking at me from time to time, her childlike little movements, frowning slightly when I am worried, and the thought of longing for her to be by my side repeatedly tormenting myself.

Is she too?Missing someone, can't control myself, the other person is in my mind all day and all night. The phone rang again, and he took a look at the number and immediately picked it up. It was Zhang Qian on the other end, and he blurted out, "The result is out, you haven't signed yet, have you?" Xu Fei, who said on the phone that he would be back soon, did not hear from him the next day. Qian Duoduo had a full schedule and a headache. It was late at night when he got home, and he finally felt something was wrong, so he called him. The other end is off, she finally gave up after dialing twice, and fell on the bed and closed her eyes.

It was very difficult for Qian Duoduo to get up the next day, her whole body ached, as if she had been run over by a steamroller thousands of times, and every inch of her joints were shaking when she sat up, but remembering the mountains of work on her calendar, she took a breath and gritted her teeth Get out of bed. Seeing himself haggard in the mirror, Qian Duoduo despised himself when he splashed cold water on his face—it's just so useless before the landslides and landslides. Because it is really hard to see people, she spent some time putting on foundation, trying to cover up her A Chinese Ghost Story background. She spends too much time in front of the mirror and is very nervous at work. She rushed all the way to the company, When I parked, I was glad that I didn't hit a fire hydrant on the road.

When I approached the marketing department, I felt that the atmosphere was weird. Even Xiaolan smiled reluctantly when greeting her. She didn't know what happened, so she could only smile back. Immediately afterwards, the internal phone rang, and it was Li Weili's voice who picked it up. His tone was different from anything he had heard before, very serious, "Director Qian, can you please come to my office immediately?" She took a deep breath in the elevator, thought over every piece of work she had done recently, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, but she really couldn't explain why she was suddenly summoned by her superiors, and she couldn't help frowning.

The general manager's office was on the 30th floor, and there was no one in the elevator except her, and she went there without stopping, feeling that she was suddenly the only one left in the world, and when the elevator door finally opened, she stepped out in one step. Knock on the door, Li Weili's voice came from inside, "Come in." The door was only ajar, she pushed it in, and there was not only Li Weili inside, but also another familiar face, who was sitting on Li Weili's desk looking through documents, frowning. It turned out to be Kairos. He had been negotiating with the board of directors in London recently. Now he suddenly returned to the Asia-Pacific headquarters and summoned himself alone in Li Weili's office.

But the person was already standing here, the matter was at this point, and there was no room for advance or retreat. Instead, she calmed down and greeted, "Willie, I'm here, Kailos, long time no see." "Dona, long time no see." Kairos looked up at her and spoke, but his expression was still serious. "Thank you. Please let me come up today. Do you have any questions to ask me?" It was really hard to guess their intentions, so she simply asked directly. "Willie, you go out, I'll talk to Dona alone." His first sentence was not to her. Li Weili passed her by, and glanced at her when he turned around, with a wonderful expression on his face.

Strange how a person's face can be so ever-changing, Qian Duoduo was speechless. "Dona, sit here." There was a chair for talks in front of the desk, Qian Duoduo walked over and sat down, watching him without speaking. "Dona, the project acquired by Hotan has recently encountered some troubles, have you heard?" "Is it an issue involving market monopoly? I've heard a little bit about it." This matter has been known to everyone in the company. Even so, Qian Duoduo still chooses his words carefully. "Other than that?" Kailos is less than fifty, and he is of course a very skilled person to be able to take the position of CEO of the Asian region in a bloody storm.The last time we had a meal together in Hong Kong, Qian Duoduo already felt that he had a deep personality. When talking face to face at this time, he asked short but ambiguous questions, with a great sense of pressure. I don't know what his intentions are, and Qian Duoduo unconsciously clamped his shoulders back. , the whole person feels stiff.

After thinking for a while, she said slowly, "You mean the rumor that MandC is going to bid with us for Hotan?" "Before today, this was indeed a rumor, but we have just received confirmation that MandC has formally applied to the Ministry of Commerce to participate in the bidding, so now this is no longer a rumor, but a fact." Qian Duoduo was taken aback, "But we have reached a preliminary consensus with Hotan on the preliminary contact and the determination of the acquisition plan. An acquisition of this scale requires a long period of preparation and planning. It is impossible for MandC to catch up with us in this regard. Applying out of the blue is probably just buying time." "Do you feel this way too?" He was expressionless, and then pushed a document in front of her. Passively took it over and opened it, only glanced at Qian Duoduo, then suddenly raised his head to look at Kailos.She is very familiar with this thing, it was the offen she received from MandC before, she was shocked, when she spoke again, her voice was very dry, "Why is this..." "Dona, to be recognized by MandC's intelligent eyes, first of all, I must affirm your ability." He stood up and looked at her as he spoke, his gray-blue eyes were like sharp knives, "But if this is in exchange for selling the company's interests, the company You will be held accountable." The fingers tightened uncontrollably, the smooth paper crumpled under the exhaustion, the black letters fluttered in front of his eyes one by one, fearing that he would say something that he would regret as soon as he opened his mouth, Qian Duoduo gritted his teeth and remained silent for a long time before raising his hand. At the beginning, he spoke slowly, "Kailos, MandC did contact me through a headhunting company, but I have unilaterally refused. Besides, I just accepted the position of marketing director, and there is not much room for development in UVL. Do you think I will do such a thing that is of no benefit to myself?" These words are very long, and every sentence is reasonable. She thought for a long time before saying it. Kairos smiled after hearing it, "Dona, in terms of development space, wouldn't the position offered by this offen be more attractive?" people?" A vague fragment flashed through his mind, and Qian Duoduo spoke again, slowly speeding up his speech, "Okay, let me put it another way, the acquisition plan and plan are huge and complicated, and the marketing department is just an execution department. Such a critical part leaked?" "All the key parts are only in the hands of a few people. Do you want to remind me that it's me who leaked the secret? The board of directors? Or Kenny himself?" "You also said that all the key parts are in the hands of a few people, and they are commercial secrets. Considering my level in the company, it is impossible to include them in this scope, right?" "Of course, but in view of your special relationship with Kenny and this offen, I have to doubt you." Taking a breath, Qian Duoduo stood up abruptly, "I understand, I would be sorry if the company expressed doubts about my loyalty, but any command needs solid evidence, especially if there is no evidence in your accusation just now. Reasonably involves my private life, which I personally cannot accept." He sat on the spot and watched her speak. At this time, his brows were furrowed, his hands were put together on the table, and his voice was very cold, "The matter is still under investigation, and we won't draw a conclusion on you until there is no result, but here During the period, the company asked you to take a break and wait for the notice, and now you can go out." Qian Duoduo was silent for a few seconds, then nodded, turned around and left, and turned around suddenly when he reached the door, watching him slowly ask the last sentence, "Karos, does Kenny know what you talked to me about?" The man behind the desk was also looking at her, his eyes were cold at this moment, and he spoke slowly and clearly, "Of course, if it wasn't for his reminder of such a major leak, do you think we would have found you so quickly?" She didn't answer, just moved her footsteps, and exited the room.Kong Yuan was alone in the elevator, his teeth hurt from biting, his mouth smelled of blood, and when the elevator fell, he felt like his heart was hanging upside down.In the confined space, there seemed to be countless crazy and weird sounds whistling to and fro. "Duo Duo, do you want to leave me to fight alone?" That's it, Kenny, that's it. Since there are always people who have to sacrifice, since there is always someone who has to stand up and let me explain everything, shouldn't Knife feel honored that this person is himself? Fearing that she would lose control, she habitually stretched out her right hand to pinch her left wrist. The nails sank deep into the skin, and the pain kept her awake. Her eye sockets were so painful that they seemed to burst, and she didn't want to see her current appearance on the mirror door. She finally turned her face away and closed her eyes tightly. When I walked into the marketing department again, everyone else was very busy, and the atmosphere was weird. Xiaolan looked at her with a worried face, but didn't dare to speak out. Any explanation, went into the office alone. There was a knock on the door, and Ren Zhiqiang walked in. She was reaching for her bag, when she turned her head and looked at him without speaking. "Dona, are you leaving? I'm here to inform you. Just now, Vice President Li came over to announce that during your break, I will take over the position of director temporarily. Is it okay?" Qian Duoduo was silent, and he didn't sit down, but stood in front of her and talked, with a sudden expression of concern on his face, "What's wrong with you? You look so ugly? Are you sick? If you're sick, rest at home. What's wrong with your body?" All important." The headache that had started in the morning became more and more intense, and her temples were throbbing. She didn't even need to look in the mirror to know how bad her condition was, but she had persisted until this point, how could she fall short in front of this man, and was laughed at by him go? "Manager Ren, thank you for your concern, I will never forget it." Smiling, Qian Duoduo pointed to the door, "I still have a few handover documents to do, take them to the door for me when I go out, thank you." The sound of him closing the door was a little louder, and with a bang, the computer screen seemed to shake. The phone calls belonged to Xu Fei. She slept like a faint last night, and went straight to the 30th floor in the morning, but none of these calls were received.Not wanting to look any more, Qian Duoduo moved his fingers and cut off the power directly. In summer, the temperature rises early. When Qian Duoduo walked out of the company building, the heat was steaming in his face. It was not the time of commute. There were top commercial buildings on both sides of this street. An exquisite woman with large and small shopping bags passed by leisurely, while she stood at the corner in a daze. When I stretched out my hand, my eyes were blurred, and my head still hurt, but it was already numb, so I didn't find it unbearable. I just want to see him, see him in person, face to face, eye to eye, just ask why.A taxi stopped in front of me, and the driver asked, "Miss, where are you going?" She answered briefly, "Airport, thank you." The lady who got on the bus was only holding a briefcase in her hand. It looked like she had just walked out of the company. She didn't have any luggage and was going to the airport. He rarely saw this kind of customer, so he wanted to ask, "Pick up a friend?" But after a quick glance in the rearview mirror, he suddenly saw her pale face, shocking even under the sun, and was startled. He buried his head in the car and didn't dare to say another word. There is still more than an hour before the departure time of the latest flight, and the airport departure hall is full of tourists and businessmen dragging luggage, noisy and bustling. Qian Duoduo sat alone at the end of the seat, and everyone around her was in high spirits, but she only had a small briefcase in her hand, and she remained silent, making her look even more abrupt. A mechanical female voice on the radio began to announce the information that boarding was possible, and the crowd around her began to gather towards the narrow passage. She also stood up, but her steps were heavy, she took the first step, and then took a step back. Someone ran over in a hurry from behind, unable to dodge in time, his shoulder was bumped to one side. It was a middle-aged man dragging a suitcase. He glanced back at her while looking at his watch, and added impatiently, "Go to the corner in a daze, don't block the aisle." Almost fell to the ground, Qian Duoduo supported the back of the chair beside him with one hand, watching him speechless.There was cold metal under the palm, and only then did I feel how hot and hot my body was, my head was getting heavier and heavier, and everything around me seemed to be twisting and spinning. Are you starting to think that you are sick?Busy day and night, poor sleep, busy moving into a new house, and the night wind blowing for too long last night... Completely clearing everything that happened today from her mind, she forced herself to focus on anything that was not related to it. If you are sick, you should go home and lie down. What are you doing at the airport?If her body is so hot, it means she has a fever. Yes, she must have a fever to do such a ridiculous thing. As she walked out, her feet were floating, her eyes were blurred, and she couldn't see anything clearly, but she was persistent in one direction, and she even walked into the sky.I went straight to the first car and opened the door to sit in. Someone called out to me, "Hey, what are you doing? You have to go to the back and line up." As if she had never heard of it, she spoke the address to the driver in the front seat, but she couldn't hear her own voice clearly, so she tried to repeat it. As the car started, Qian Duoduo leaned against the door and closed his eyes, only one thought remained in his mind.Go home, there are parents at home, just go home. After retiring, Qian Duoduo's parents started every morning with morning exercises together. Qian's mother twisted her waist and chattered, "Old Qian, do you think we are determined not to get married? Don't say anything." Bu Xiang bought a house and didn’t tell us, and now she’s moved out, and it’s her birthday, what should I do if this continues?” Dad Qian was quite used to hearing the same nagging from his wife in the past two years. At this time, he persuaded him for the 10,000th time, "Okay, you should feel proud that your daughter is able to buy a house and a car by herself. What? She asked for it even after she had finished her family's money. She's grown up and has her own ideas, and you can't force her to get married." "What's the big deal, she's almost 30. If I have a son, it would be a good thing to have a house and a car at 30, but Duo is a girl." "What is equality?! Girls in their thirties have a house and a car. When people see you, they don't plan to get married. When I asked someone to find a blind date, I didn't dare to say her current situation." His wife frowned tightly, with a worried look on his face. Dad Qian thought it was funny, but felt sad when he thought about it.He sighed and continued to practice Tai Chi. After breakfast, the two of them went to the community center to participate in activities. Mother Qian was an active activist and also served as the captain of the elderly fitness team in the community. Today, there was a performance task, and of course Father Qian would join in. After the dance, I chatted with the old neighbors for a while, the leisure time always passed quickly, and it was past three o'clock in the afternoon when they got home The house is an old-fashioned two-story house, with a large open space in front of the door, and a strange car is parked slantingly, with a thin layer of dust on the body, looking dusty in the sun. Downstairs, Old Wu was taking his big golden retriever out for a walk. When he saw them from afar, he waved, "Old Qian, you have guests at home. I've been waiting for a while, go up and have a look." Who?The old couple glanced at each other. Mother Qian was impatient, and walked quickly into the corridor as soon as she picked up the vegetable basket.When I went upstairs, I saw a young man standing at the door of his house, and turned around when he heard footsteps. Qian's father and Qian's mother looked at each other again, they didn't know each other!They look so good, if they met, they would not be impressed, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Who are you looking for?" "Uncle, aunt, have you seen Duoduo? Has she come back?" It was Xu Fei who spoke, his tone urgent. In the past two days, unplanned changes followed one after another. First, MandC’s senior management suddenly announced that the base price offered was higher than UVL’s, and it was a few percentage points higher than their base price. Obviously, MandC knew their data like the back of their hands.Kairos, who was negotiating with the board of directors in London, was shocked, and he flew over overnight, and put the contents of the inspection report determined by Zhang Qian's Institute of Biology on his desktop. The chemical elements detected in the raw materials of Hotan’s products contain the possibility of poisoning. China has received warnings from other regions to increase the use standard of this type of element to zero content. Although this news has not been disclosed, this standard Once implemented, Nawada will definitely bear the brunt.In this case, it becomes impractical to carry out the acquisition plan now, and it is likely to bring huge losses to the company. The problem is, if they suspend this plan, Kailos' first big move in Asia will end in a very bad result, which he absolutely does not want to see. Almost at the same time, Kailos received an anonymous email, pointing out that Qian Duoduo leaked company secrets, and even including the records and offen content of MandC's personnel department contacting her. Kairos put these things in front of him, juxtaposed with the report he submitted, and then opened his mouth, "Kenny, what do you think?" And he looked through it for a long time before answering, "First of all, I am sure that someone inside the company must have leaked some of the plans, and this person has a direct interest relationship with MandC, and I am happy to see them win the acquisition, but this person is definitely not money. Duoduo, she has never tried to get in touch with the core plan, and she has no chance, these records and offen can only be passed from inside MandC, someone wants to find a scapegoat in our company." "Really? But I heard Dona is with you now." He nodded and smiled, his eyes never flinching, "Yes, I didn't hide it from you, and you should trust me." "Kenny." Kairos put his hand on his shoulder, "I know who you are referring to. Your report mentioned the fund transfer between MandC and Yamada Group. I also ask friends in the investment bank to pay attention. In this situation, I can only say that I really underestimated how greedy some people are for money, and now that hot money flow in Asia has reached the end of its peak, there are still people who dare to play capital games here.” Knowing that he believed in him, Xu Fei breathed a sigh of relief when he spoke again, "In fact, he also owns shares in UVL, but losing this project will not hurt UVL, but betting on MandC, taking a risk There may be a profit of more than 300% if there is no risk, and if the two are weighed, everyone will tilt the balance to the other side." "UVL won't hurt muscles and bones, but it's different for me. That old guy Yamada, this time is really good enough." Kairos's eyebrows sank, and finally he spoke clearly, "Since He is not benevolent first, then don’t blame me for being unrighteous, this report should be suppressed first, don’t hand it over to the board of directors, let MandC acquire Hotan, I want to see how they end up.” "Then how do we hide those eyes in the company?" "Let me do it." Kairos watched him speak, then put away the things on the table, turned and walked out. Kailos rushed back to China overnight, while she was left in London to deal with the board of directors. The last words of Kailos's leaving circled in his mind repeatedly. He always felt that something was wrong. After leaving the conference room, he went straight to the airport and called Qian Duoduo No one answered, thinking she might be asleep, he dialed again after getting off the plane, but still no one answered. Feeling bad in his heart, he rushed to the company first, Qian Duoduo was gone, but Kailos was waiting for him, looked at him and smiled, "Kerry, if you feel distressed, go back and make up for her, I will approve it unconditionally. , I will make it up to her, don't worry." Without time to say more, he left the company again.Qian Duoduo couldn't be found everywhere, she turned off the phone again when she dialed the phone, but when she arrived at her house, there was no one there. The old couple who appeared in front of him could be seen as Duoduo's parents at a glance. When she stopped, she asked her whereabouts directly. "Who are you? Why are you looking for my family?" Dad Qian asked very strangely. He opened his mouth to answer, when a voice suddenly came from downstairs: "Old Qian, drive down to see your family..." It was Old Wu, who called out in a hurry, before they had time to react, the man who was standing at the top of the stairs ran downstairs and disappeared in a blink of an eye. "Uncle Wu, I'm fine, don't yell..." Dizzy, Qian Duoduo staggered when she got out of the car, and almost fell to the ground, but was caught by the neighbor Uncle Wu, who then yelled loudly in her ear.Feeling that the sound was like a sledgehammer hitting the temple, Qian Duoduo groaned and begged for mercy. Unable to bear it, she took a step back, but she didn't expect to take a step forward and bumped into another person's arms. She wanted to turn around hastily, but her body was suddenly hugged tightly from behind. The arms were too strong, and she couldn't help it. A scream. "Duoduo, it's me." There was a voice in his ear, and his body was turned upside down. It was Xu Fei. He checked her up and down with his eyes up and down. The expression on his face was completely strange, as if he was still in shock. Take her in your arms. Just now, she did not hesitate to fly thousands of miles, wanting to see this man, but now she hugged herself tightly, and originally wanted to ask him why, but when she saw him in person, she felt weak and her throat hurt unbearably , A word came to his mouth but he couldn't get it out, and then he coughed violently. Another hand reached out to pull her, and her mother's cry was heard, "Duo Duo, what's the matter with you?" Dad's voice also joined in, "You let go of my daughter first, what's going on?" The body has been pulled, and it has been struggling all day until now, the faces of him and his parents are confused in front of his eyes, the voices of his parents are eager, but he holds her tightly and does not let go, what she should resist, but in his eager eyes and the familiar Mu Xiangli suddenly felt stable, as if she had been at a loss in the stormy sea for a long time, and finally returned to a safe place. So much struggle, not worth a hug.Love makes women stupid, and it does.There was a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, and the noisy voice gradually became distant. Unable to hold on any longer, Qian Duoduo's body softened and he fainted. The syncope this time was really a relief for Qian Duoduo. Those headaches, dizziness and discomfort were temporarily gone, comparable to the deep sleep she had been looking for recently.So when she recovered slowly, heard the conversation between the doctor and her parents, and felt heavy again, she really wanted to ask everyone around her to punch her and make her pass out again. It's a pity that no one around me has mind reading skills, but my mother's voice came closer: "Okay, okay, Duoduo woke up. Old Qian, come here quickly." When I opened my eyes, I saw that my parents were all gathered by the hospital bed, with a transparent bottle above their heads, and the monotonous sound of dripping was continuous. My mother was nervous. Seeing that she was silent, she asked: "A lot, a lot? Why don't you talk?" ? It's mom!" The doctor looked at it funny, and while going through the case, he added: "Auntie, your daughter just has a fever, don't worry, she will definitely not lose her memory." "Dad, Mom, I'm fine." When she said the first word, her voice was hoarse, but she felt much better than when she just woke up. Qian Duoduo forced a smile, and looked around uncontrollably. The doctor said there was nothing serious about it, and seeing her daughter woke up, and Qian's mother's heart finally settled down, she smiled, "Don't look, he's gone already, like a gust of wind, here, this note is from him." Leave it to you." Looking sideways, she saw a corner of white paper protruding from the pillow, with a drip stuck in her right hand. When she moved her left hand, it stopped just as it touched the smooth paper. Mother Qian still wanted to speak, but her father stopped her, "My daughter just woke up, let her have a rest, let's go to the nearby supermarket and buy some fruit." After speaking, he dragged his wife and walked out. The ward fell silent, and Qian Duoduo was silent for a few seconds, took a breath, and summoned up the courage to reach out and open the paper. The letter paper had the airline's logo printed on it, and the writing was a bit sloppy, and it was obvious at a glance that it was written hastily on the plane. The content was very long, and it was already night. The lamp, she looked it over carefully twice. After reading it, she closed it, raised her head and closed her eyes, and was silent for a long time. After opening her eyes again, she opened them again. The last sentence was very short, but she stared at it for a long time, looked repeatedly, and stretched out her hand, I stroked it slowly.Fingers checked the black ink, the smooth paper, and the words without warmth, but at this moment they seemed to come alive, brushing the tip of her heart one by one. Qian Duoduo's long vacation this time lasted for three full months. When I finally walked out of the company, I felt that my back was riddled with holes from their stares. Unable to stare back one by one, she could only stare at the man walking beside her with her eyes.Xu Fei has long legs, and he has already walked to the side of the car. When he opened the door, he turned to look at her, smiled at her expression, and showed his canine teeth again, "What's the matter, Dodo?" "Trouble." She said concisely. She smiled even brighter, then tilted her head and kissed her. When the car started to move forward, Qian Duoduo looked ahead with a smile. He was used to sitting in the driver's seat. When he changed his angle, he felt that the scenery in front of him was completely different. The road of the leftover woman can lead to thousands of endings, but the one she chooses in the end is still the most vulgar one, so what?She was just an ordinary person.
