Rebirth's guilt

Half a year later, everything has settled down.

No matter how unwilling Sunan and Qiao Zhishen were to accept it and tried their best, An Yanqing's death was an unchangeable fact.After the funeral, Sunan returned to the United States in despair, never wanting to set foot in Hong Kong again.

After Qiao Zhishen rejected Qiao Boyi's proposed marriage again, he still fulfilled his promise and adopted his eldest brother's son, named Qiao Nianqing.And separated the jade from BIANCO, and set up a separate company to operate it.

Qiao Nianqing is only three years old this year, and she usually lives with Qiao Zhishen in the "Hezhong Yinyue" villa area, and is taken care of by a nanny.On weekends, he would go back to Qiao's mansion to play games with Qiao.

Although he is only an illegitimate child, he is also Qiao Boyi's first great-grandson, so he is very fond of Qiao Boyi, and he often plays with him.

Qiao Zhishen has put all his energy into the newly established company in the past few months, and he only hired a nanny to take good care of his son in law, and never saw him a few times.

The newly established company is called Runhe Jewelry. The word "Run" comes from the gentleness of a gentleman like jade, and the word "He" means Zhongzheng Peace.

And BIANCO returned to Qiao Boyi's hands, but most of the affairs were actually handled by Qiao Yuan.After Qiao Yuan came back, he stayed there all the time, as if he didn't intend to leave.

Many employees of Runhe Jewelry were brought by Qiao Zhishen from BIANCO, and many of them heard that he was going to build a company alone, so they followed him.After all, after working in BIANCO for so long, Qiao Zhishen's ability is obvious.And as long as a newly established company grows, the first batch of employees like them will be veterans.

Once again staying up late and working overtime, Qiao Zhishen kept typing on the computer, his mouth was a little dry, and he fumbled for coffee with his right hand, only to find that he had run out of coffee.

Putting down the cup, rubbing his brows, Qiao Zhishen stood up and stretched, picked up the coffee cup and went out to the tea room.The establishment of this new company was all established by him alone, and the Qiao family did not contribute a penny or effort.

Although he made a lot of money in the past few years, he was naturally much worse than those of those aristocratic families.

Today's Runhe Jewelry only rents a two-story building, and his office is a small single room, which is more than 01:30 worse than the previous office that was almost comparable to an apartment.

Looking at the Patek Philippe in his hand, it was already one o'clock in the morning, and there were only a few people left in the whole company.James was sitting outside the door working, and when he saw Qiao Zhishen coming out, he hurried over, "Is the president ready to go back?"

Qiao Zhishen shook his head and shook the empty coffee cup in his hand, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

James touched his nose, took the cup and went to the tea room to make coffee for him.James was brought up by Qiao Zhishen, and since he entered BIANCO, he has been Qiao Zhishen's secretary, so this time Qiao Zhishen left, and he followed without complaint.

When James came back, he saw Qiao Zhishen leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, his face was a little pale, the dark circles under his eyes were heavy, and he was quite haggard.

He sighed in his heart, thinking of An Yanqing who died suddenly half a year ago, he could only sigh.Except that An Yanqing's mood fluctuated violently on the day of An Yanqing's death, now that half a year has passed, Qiao Zhishen doesn't look like a person who has lost his lover in the eyes of outsiders.

Only those who are close to him can feel that although Qiao Zhishen is no different from before, his demeanor is even colder and he talks less.The eyes are more majestic, with a cold face all day long, mouth pursed, brows furrowed, and once scared a newly recruited girl to tears.

The whole person is like a robot, just working flexibly.

James told Qiao Zhinian about the situation, and Qiao Zhinian also came from Italy to stay with him for two weeks, but nothing changed in the end.

Qiao Zhishen took the coffee, turned back to the office, and continued working.It wasn't until two hours later that he came out again, but this time he was about to go home.

Qiao Zhishen in the car still ordered a series of things without wasting time, "The first batch of jade jewelry must be made as soon as possible. The jade market in Myanmar is about to start again. I am going to lead the team there. Then you will Stay in the company to host."

Remembering this, James raised his head and moved his mouth to say something, but Qiao Zhishen waved his hand to stop him.Qiao Zhishen said indifferently: "You have been with me for so many years, I know your ability very well, but the secretary is overqualified. Inform the personnel department tomorrow to recruit a new secretary and assistant for me!"

Hearing what he said, James knew that he intended to promote himself, so he nodded and agreed after thinking about it.

Qiao Zhishen's family now only hired two nannies, one took Qiao Nianqing to play and study, and the other took care of cooking, laundry and cleaning.

When he returned home it was pitch black and everyone was asleep.He first went to Qiao Nianqing's room to check on him. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, he returned to his room without kicking the quilt.

He was exhausted to the extreme, and fell asleep after taking a shower.He has been here these days, otherwise he would always be cranky and couldn't sleep at all.

The next day, James' position was changed. Of course, he was still working part-time as a secretary before the new secretary arrived.The job fair for Runhe Jewelry is very small, because it is a new company, and there are not many people recruited, so there are very few people who apply.

It took James a long time to pick and choose two, a man and a woman, Tang Xu and Shan Lan, both graduated from prestigious universities and had work experience.In the end, Shan Lan became Qiao Zhishen's new secretary, and Tang Xu served as his assistant.

James also considered that An Yanqing was also Qiao Zhishen's assistant back then, and he was afraid that hiring another male assistant would bring back Qiao Zhishen's memories.

A few days later, Qiao Zhishen led a group of people on a plane to Myanmar. Yan Qiaosong was still accompanying him, but Jin Jingzhi didn't want to go out anymore because of his age.

It is spring now, the sky in Myanmar is blue and blue, and the streets are full of tourists of all colors.Qiao Zhishen and the others have already finished a round of auctions, and the results are not very satisfactory.

Shan Lan contacted several informants to go to the warehouses of some small pit owners to look at the woolen materials. Although she is a woman, she has a strong working ability and has been trained by James, so she is very decisive in handling things.

The night in Myanmar is very cool, the streets are full of pedestrians in twos and threes, Qiao Zhishen only took Shan Lan and Yan Qiaosong out.Of course, bodyguards and translators will definitely follow.

Qiao Zhishen was very familiar with the place they went this time, because he had been there with An Yanqing before.It was An Yanqing who cut out a piece of Mo Cui and carved a piece of finger ring for him.

From the corner of Yan Qiaosong's eyes, Qiao Zhishen kept stroking the finger on his thumb, and he could tell at a glance that it was a finger ring carved from black jade.He remembered Mo Cui's other name in Myanmar, couldn't help smiling, and asked, "Ah Shen, I see you have been touching this finger, who gave it to you?"

Qiao Zhishen was stunned when he heard the words, paused his fingers immediately, and said lightly after a while: "It's from Yanqing." Yan Qiaosong's face was startled when he heard this, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed.

Although he didn't know the real relationship between Qiao Zhishen and An Yanqing, he only thought they were friends.But An Yanqing knew about the sudden death of illness half a year ago, and he also attended the funeral, so it's inappropriate to mention it at this time.

Thinking about it again, they came to participate in the Burmese jadeite auction this time, and An Yanqing and Jin Jingzhi were there last time.But now that An Yanqing is dead, Jin Jingzhi's health is getting worse and worse, and he suddenly has a feeling that things are right and people are wrong.

Shan Lan sat in front, listening to their conversation secretly with her ears tilted, a little curious, but the two of them stopped after saying just a few words.Soon, they arrived at the gate of a building.

Qiao Zhishen didn't need an informant to take him with him, and he walked down familiarly. Others knew that he had probably been here before at a glance.Yan Qiaosong even asked quietly, and by the way, dispelled the awkward atmosphere between them just now.

After a while, a group of people went down to the ground, walked through the winding passages, and came to a huge room.Someone inside was already looking at the stone, the bodyguard at the door saw them coming, saw the informant nodded and let them go.

Walking in, Qiao Zhishen looked around, and then said, "I'll go and see alone, Uncle Yan, can Shan Lan follow you and record?" , he couldn't even refute.

Qiao Zhishen recalled the route he and An Yanqing had taken the last time they came, and slowly walked inside.Seeing that he had really left, Yan Qiaosong led the others to the other side.

The layout here has not changed at all, and all kinds of stones are still divided into square pieces.A path was exposed in the middle, allowing some carts carrying wool to pass through.

Qiao Zhishen slowly walked to the place where An Yanqing found Mo Cui, but found that there was already someone there.It was sister Mei, the owner of the place, and a 23-year-old man, they were talking with their heads down, and they were looking at a stone.

When Sister Mei heard footsteps, she looked up and saw Qiao Zhishen, subconsciously showing a smile to greet the guests.

Qiao Zhishen nodded, and was about to leave, but sister Mei seemed to remember who he was, and shouted, "Mr. Qiao, I didn't expect you to come to take care of my business again."

Qiao Zhishen had no choice but to stop when he heard the words, and said politely: "Sister Mei has a lot of wool here, so I naturally want to join in." Sister Mei smiled and asked curiously: "This time, Mr. Qiao is alone. Is it? I wonder if that Mr. An came last time?"

Qiao Zhishen's eyes dimmed, and he said lightly, "He didn't come!"

Sister Mei said "Oh" and didn't mind his indifference, seeing that he wanted to leave, she didn't want to keep him.Seeing that Qiao Zhishen's figure had disappeared, she turned her head and looked at the young man who was picking wool.

The young man may have sensed her gaze, and when he turned around, what caught his eyes was a pair of bright and alluring peach blossom eyes, but unfortunately his face was not pretty, only his brows were delicate.

Sister Mei was immediately caught by his peachy eyes, she covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Su Li, don't smile at me like that, it's too electric!" After hearing her words, Su Li felt shy again. He smiled shyly, but with his eyes, it really couldn't make people think of shyness.

"Was that Sister Mei your guest just now?" Su Li asked curiously, "It's rare that you greet someone in person." Sister Mei snorted and asked, "Aren't you a human?"

Su Li was taken aback by what she said, and then laughed again.Seeing him smiling so happily, Sister Mei held her forehead and couldn't bear to look any further. She turned her eyes around and saw a man in a purple shirt. His eyes lit up and she asked Su Li, "Isn't that Ah Yan, old man?" Did you bring him out too?"

Su Li turned to look at the man, nodded, and said, "Ah Yan was the grandson that Grandpa loved so much, no matter how much trouble he has, he is still a family, and besides, he...has been sleeping for so long, and finally woke up, Grandpa How could you blame him again?"

Sister Mei nodded and sighed: "That's right, that boy Ah Yan is the most talented one among his cousins ​​in betting stones. If it wasn't for that incident, I'm afraid he would have inherited the old man's mantle by now. .”

"Huh?" Su Li suddenly said, and Sister Mei followed his gaze, but saw Su Yan bumping into Qiao Zhishen who had just left.A piece of wool seemed to be misplaced and fell on Qiao Zhishen's foot.

Sister Mei's complexion changed, she hurried over, and said to Su Li, "Hurry up and call Third Uncle, let him prepare the medicine box." After hearing this, Su Li hurried out.

Sister Mei ran over and took a closer look at the injury on Qiao Zhishen's foot. It was the ankle that was hit by wool, and it was already bleeding.Ah Yan squatted aside, holding one of Qiao Zhishen's shoulders, as if trying to help him up.

It's a pity that he didn't have enough strength, so he could only hold up half of his body. At this time, he saw sister Mei running over, and hurriedly said, "Help!" With force, he was quickly lifted up.

Qiao Zhishen only hurt his right foot, but his left foot was fine and he could use his strength, so he walked out with the help of the two.Sister Mei led the two of them to a remote corner, and opened a door, which turned out to be a reception room.

Su Yan knowingly helped Qiao Zhishen to the sofa. At this time, the door on the other side opened, and Su Li and a middle-aged man walked in with a medicine box.

Su Yan knelt down and rolled up Qiao Zhishen's trouser legs. Seeing his ankles were covered in blood and flesh, his heart felt numb and his hands trembled.Sister Mei also called out softly, and said quickly: "Mr. Qiao, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. Let me discount your consumption here today as an apology for you!"

Qiao Zhishen only looked at the man with his head bowed in front of him, as if trying to bear the pain, he didn't hear her words at all.But Sister Mei didn't mind, she pulled Su Yan aside and asked the third uncle to give him medicine.

Qiao Zhishen's gaze stayed on Su Yan for a while, and then he focused on his injured right foot, wondering what he was thinking.Sister Mei and Su Li pulled Su Yan aside and asked, "What's going on?"

The two of them only saw the piece of wool suddenly fall and hit Qiao Zhishen's feet, and Su Yan also fell on Qiao Zhishen's body, but they didn't know what happened before.

Su Yan looked at Qiao Zhishen's injured foot worriedly, and said simply: "I was looking at woolen materials at the time, who knows, he suddenly pulled away and fell to the ground, and then I heard him groan, and then I saw His foot was smashed."

When Sister Mei heard what he said, she knew that it was probably because the worker piled up the wool, and a piece of wool rolled down.

And Su Yan should have been under the wool at that time, he didn't notice the danger but Qiao Zhishen saw it, Qiao Zhishen was worried that Su Yan would get hurt and pulled him away, who knew he was hurt.

After hearing this, Su Li said, "You have to thank this Mr. Qiao well later." Su Yan listened casually, his head unconsciously lighting up.Seeing that he was focused on Qiao Zhishen's wound, Su Li didn't say anything else.

Soon Qiao Zhi's deep wound was healed, and the blood stains were clear and clean. Wrapped in a sterilized white bandage, it finally didn't look so scary anymore.

Seeing this, Su Yan stepped forward and asked, "Where does Mr. Qiao live? I'll take you back." Qiao Zhishen didn't know what he was thinking, and didn't inform Yan Qiaosong, but nodded and said something. The address of the hotel.

Seeing Su Yan send Qiao Zhishen away, Sister Mei frowned, Su Li noticed it and asked, "What's wrong?" Sister Mei shook her head and said, "It's nothing, let's go down!"

Qiao Zhishen sat in the passenger seat, picked up his mobile phone and sent a text message to Shan Lan, saying that he was going back to the hotel first, and asked her to accompany Yan Qiaosong to continue watching.After sending the text message, he looked at Su Yan who was concentrating on driving the car out of the corner of his eye. This young man was a bit strange.

Su Yan didn't seem to notice that Qiao Zhishen was peeking at him, and drove the car all the way to the hotel, then opened the car door and helped him in.However, he acted cautiously along the way, as if he was someone who was injured.

Seeing Qiao Zhishen's condition, the security guard of the hotel came to help him a long time ago.Fortunately, there is also an elevator, otherwise Qiao Zhishen would live on the sixth floor, and I don't know how long it would take to get up.

After Qiao Zhishen saw that he had reported the room number, Su Yan helped him up with familiarity, his eyes became deeper and deeper.Finally came to the room, Su Yan asked Qiao Zhishen to sit down, and after explaining what should be explained, Su Yan still did not leave.

His mouth opened and closed, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he closed his mouth.After a long silence, he said as if implying something: "Sister Mei is my cousin. If Mr. Qiao needs anything, you can find me there."

Seeing Qiao Zhishen nod his head, he was relieved and left in peace.

As soon as Qiao Zhishen waited for him to leave, he frowned and thought about it. It took a long time until the door of the room was knocked before he came back to his senses.When the door opened, Yan Qiaosong and Shan Lan came.

It turned out that the two were optimistic about wool, and when they came back, they heard from the people in the hotel that Qiao Zhi was deeply hurt, so they hurried up.

Yan Qiaosong looked at Qiao Zhishen's right ankle, which was obviously wrapped in a bandage, and asked worriedly, "Why did you get hurt? Did you go to the hospital for an examination?"

Qiao Zhishen nodded, and said comfortingly, "I'm fine, I've been prescribed medicine, it's just a scratch and a minor injury." His tone was not as cold as before, but warmer.

Although Yan Qiaosong was surprised for a moment, he was somewhat relieved after all, so he gave some instructions before leaving.Seeing them leaving, Qiao Zhishen picked up his phone and sent a text message.

Then it seemed that he wanted to call someone again, but he hesitated for a while when he picked up the phone, but he didn't dial it.

"Maybe we should wait...to tell him!" Muttering something, Qiao Zhishen's face was stiff, but his eyes were sad and happy.

Su Yan went downstairs and stood in the lobby of the hotel for a while before driving away.Back in the underground casino, Sister Mei was sitting in the reception room with Su Li. Seeing him coming back, she asked, "Did that Mr. Qiao send it back?"

Su Yan nodded, sat aside and did not speak.Seeing him being so silent, Su Li thought he was blaming himself, and comforted him, "I don't blame you for what happened today, who knew that the wool would roll off, so don't take it to heart. But that Mr. Qiao But there is still an apology to be made, thank you.”

Sister Mei also nodded. Seeing what they said, Su Yan said, "I already know where he lives, and I'll go and see tomorrow. They should be here to participate in the Jade Fair, but his foot is injured. I probably won't go, I can just go and accompany him, so that he won't be bored."

Sister Mei felt that something was wrong when she heard this, but Su Li agreed, and said, "It should be like this, but you can go there tomorrow, and then you have to go to the fair with me. Grandpa hopes that we can Let's practice it."

Su Yan said "Yes" and agreed, and then the topic of Sister Houmei and Su Li turned to gambling stones, but Su Yan stopped talking, and sat quietly by the side, not knowing what he was thinking.

The next day, Su Yan really went to the hotel to find Qiao Zhishen as he said, and as he expected, there was only Qiao Zhishen in the room.And Qiao Zhishen didn't seem surprised at all when he saw that it was him.

In fact, Yan Qiaosong and Shan Lan planned to leave one person to take care of him, but he refused, so he was the only one left.Otherwise, if the president of his dignified company was injured, how could there be no one to take care of him?

Although Su Yan entered the door, he suddenly didn't know what to say. Instead, Qiao Zhishen said, "You can drink whatever you want, it's not convenient for me."

Su Yan nodded, poured a cup of tea silently, and there was another silence between the two of them.

Su Yan frowned, it was different from what he thought, "Is your foot better?" After thinking about it, he only had this one thing to say, but just as he said it, he wanted to bite his tongue off.

It's just one day, no, it's only half a day, how can this injury get better!
