Lost [Transmigration Book]

After Qiao Nanqi returned home, he called Xia Yuantu and asked him to help him keep an eye on the company affairs and the dirty things that He Nan Chen Ze had hooked up with those people for the past two days.

Then he asked Xiao Wu to go to the pet shop on the corner of Changxi Road and ask the owner if he would like to sell the whole pet shop at a high price.

In fact, the only thing he wanted to take away was the litter of stray cats that Zhao Rong had raised for ten years.

Previously, he wanted to take them home because he felt that they carried a ray of warmth buried in his youth, which might make him forget some traces of Zhao Rong.Now I want to take them home because they have traces of Zhao Rong.

But Zhao Rong didn't answer his call, even if he did...

He actually didn't know how to open his mouth to tell Zhao Rong that he knew the past ten years ago that had accumulated in every trivial day and night—he never mentioned or listened to it before.

After thinking about it, he might as well just buy the entire pet store and move those wild cats to his old house on Changxi Road.

Xiao Wu Xing was probably frightened by his boss's sudden move to buy a pet store. He was afraid that Qiao Nanqi would go crazy in the wrong state these days, so he said tremblingly, "Sir, are you sure you want to buy this store? This is a pet store. We are currently There is no development direction in this area...”

Qiao Nanqi glanced at Xiao Wu.

He has been more haggard than usual in the past few days, and his facial features are naturally somewhat gloomy under the embellishment of the light mole on the lower side of his left eye, and he is even more solemn at this moment.

He just glanced at it, Xiao Wu didn't dare to say anything, he took the job and turned around to leave.

Qiao Nanqi suddenly said when he walked to the door: "You said..."

Xiao Wu hurriedly stopped: "What?"

"What do you think..." Qiao Nanqi paused for a moment, closing his eyes, his expression not showing anything, "How do I treat Zhao Rong?"

Xiao Wu immediately stammered: "What, what? Mr. Zhao?"

He looked at Qiao Nanqi's expression, as if he wanted to guess Qiao Nanqi's intentions and see what kind of answer would satisfy his boss.

But Qiao Nanqi's face was slightly gloomy, and there was no other expression on his face, so he really couldn't see anything.

He could only say, "It's pretty good...?"

Qiao Nanqi didn't speak.

Xiao Wu continued: "The agreement signed between Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhao has many benefits. I usually deal with many personal affairs with Mr., and see Mr.'s other friends...the lover is not as good as Mr. Mr."

"Didn't the sir give Mr. Zhao several large sums of money? Oh yes, didn't you also give Mr. Zhao part of the shares of our head office? You also arranged for Mr. Zhao when he came to the company..."

As he spoke, he saw that Qiao Nanqi's expression didn't change much, but for some reason, the air pressure in the room always seemed to be getting lower and lower.He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Compared to other people, Mr. treats the lover around—"

"Hurry up and get things done." Qiao Nanqi interrupted him directly.

He got up, without even looking at Xiao Wu, his eyes didn't know where to fall, and there was a sleepy aura all over his body.

He only left Xiao Wu a back view, turned around, and walked into the bedroom.

There was a dull sound of closing the door.

It was already the next day when the cat came back.

The kitten seemed a little frightened when it first arrived home.After so many years, the cat Qiao Nanqi was most familiar with seemed to have passed away, and the younger ones didn't know him at all.

He just squatted down and wanted to hug him, but the little thing bounced away in shock and slipped under the bed in an instant.

The other ones are in the same situation.

He sighed silently and stood up slowly.

The little girl at the front desk of the pet shop was stunned when she saw that the person who paid a high price to buy a pet shop in a day was actually Qiao Nanqi.She arranged the things for raising the cat, received the reward from Xiao Wu, and was about to leave, when Qiao Nanqi called to stop her.

"...Did he mention anything else when he asked you to house the cats?" Qiao Nanqi still couldn't help asking, "About these cats, who or what?"

The little girl shook her head: "No."

Qiao Nanqi's eyes dimmed, and he finally let someone leave.

He called Zhao Rong several times yesterday.Without exception, not a single call was answered.

The latest message was sent by him this morning, with only one sentence.

——"It's not that I don't like you."

This sentence was stuck in his throat after Zhao Rong hung up the phone.

After these words were sent out, he waited anxiously all morning, checking his phone every few minutes.

But the news seemed to have disappeared into the sea, and no more splashes emerged.

There were a few times when he was really in a difficult situation. Looking at the chat records, he couldn't help scrolling up.

As a result, most of the information found was from Zhao Rong.

"What time are you going home today?"

"I asked Sister Li to make a few dishes that you haven't eaten for a long time. See if there is any dish you don't like."

"I just went out to drink with Liu Shun, sorry, I can't push it away."

"I'll pick you up at the airport, is the flight delayed?"

"..."

For all these things, he either said "yes" or "um", or he didn't respond at all.

In the past, he had never even read these messages carefully.At this moment, every word turned into a sharp knife, piercing his heart inch by inch.

But he couldn't get any response from Zhao Rong, so he could only read the old news.

It was obviously painful, but I couldn't stop.

Was it this feeling when Zhao Rong sent him a message before?

Pointless anxiety, pointless waiting.

There is such a one-ten-thousandth hope in my heart, and I am willing to taste the bitterness.

What if he had returned a little more?

Now he wanted to talk to Zhao Rong, but Zhao Rong didn't respond to him.

Qiao Nanqi stared at the chat records for a while.

Then, he cut it out and clicked on the address that Xia Yuantu sent him.

Deep night.

After get off work time, the new urban area is still brightly lit, and the business district is even more crowded.

This place is the most prosperous area in Yangcheng after it developed from the old city to the new city. Every inch of land is expensive. Even Liu Shun's family, if they want to have a suite here, their parents have to be merciful and give them a lot of money. money.

When Zhao Rong arrived at the entrance of the bar, Liu Shun was swiping his phone, wondering why Zhao Rong took the initiative to book this place.

"Liuer," Zhao Rong stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Why are you looking so serious?"

Liu Shun raised his head, just about to speak, when he saw Zhao Rong, he was taken aback.

Zhao Rong is very different today.

It was different from what he remembered, and also different from what he expected Zhao Rong to be in now.

Few of them are working seriously, and they usually wear messy clothes, and they can't wait to hang a pile of trendy jewelry on their bodies.When Zhao Rong was hanging out with them before, although there was no fancy style, it was a style that did not violate the style of going into the night scene.

But today Zhao Rong is only wearing a white sweater with a simple dark blue shirt inside, which is slightly loose but not too big, which just outlines his thin but tall figure.

It's so clean to go to this station, the lights behind are like the pollution of the noisy world.

Zhao Rong wasn't too depressed, he could even be said to be...in a good mood?

It's not like a person whose family has just run down.

When he was stunned, Zhao Rong had already walked in, asking him as he walked, "Is Yu here first?"

"Here we are," Liu Shun followed him in, "Third Young Master, why did you decide on this place? We didn't come to this place often before. We only sell good wine, and the consumption is not low. There are so many people this time. The consumption is equivalent to my monthly pocket money. You are now...if Yu Xian embarrasses you in this regard, or I will secretly pay for you first?"

"It's okay, no need."

"I'm still a little worried. Haven't you been to Qiao Da's company for the past two days? Yu Xian doesn't know where the news came from, but he's very well-informed. Just now he was saying that you were thrown away by Qiao Da—ahh! Dogs bark."

"Don't get excited."

"What are you going to do today? I have all my pocket money ready..."

The music in the bar is endless, hitting people's eardrums one after another.

The light was extremely dim, and the multicolored lights were flickering, exuding a luxurious atmosphere.

I don't know if it's because I've been to this kind of place too much before, and I haven't been here for a while, standing here now, Zhao Rong feels uncomfortable all over.

Without those restraints, all his aversion to these places popped out in an instant.

Fortunately, he doesn't have to come here often.

He and Liu Shun walked in and came to a round table with more than a dozen people sitting beside the dance floor.

Some people were familiar to him, some he had never seen before, and he didn’t know whose family they belonged to, and there were two or three people who looked good, and it was obvious who brought them to save face—they When people are playing together, they always like to bring a few family backgrounds who actually can't get into their circle, but are extremely good-looking. Sometimes someone sees the right thing, and it's okay to talk about it. Everyone takes what they want.

When Zhao Rong approached, the person sitting outside didn't know him. Seeing him approaching, he whistled and said to Liu Shun, "Hey, Liu Shun, you brought it? Not bad!"

Zhao Rong didn't speak, just smiled and sat down on the outermost vacant seat.

Liu Shun gave the man a "bah", "What nonsense! This is the third young master."

"Third Young Master?" The man was taken aback, "Whose Third Young Master?"

The rest of the people also saw Zhao Rong.

This question happened to be the most inappropriate to ask, and the people who knew Zhao Rong didn't know how to open it. Suddenly, there was silence, only the endless music in the bar was left.

After a while, someone opened his mouth: "Yes, I am also curious, whose third young master? Isn't the Chen family gone? Could it be the Qiao family? After all, this third young master has been staying in the Qiao family's company , it doesn't look like the family is down and out, maybe how much money is in the pocket."

It was Yu Xian who spoke.

Zhao Rong didn't get angry when he heard it.

He knew this would happen before he went to the appointment, and he came to solve this matter.Although he won't stay in Yangcheng in the end, these rumors and reputation are dispensable to him, but he doesn't want these people to talk about him behind his back every day, so that Zhao Ming's mouth will be broken, so he made an appointment today. I intend to completely shut up these idiots.

It's not a day or two since Yu Xian disliked him.

Unlike him, who was recognized because Chen Fengnian had no children back then, Yu Xian is a serious child of a family.It's a pity that he himself is not promising, and he is very good at dating and raising lovers, but he is a mess in business affairs. The inheritance right was suddenly snatched away by an illegitimate son who turned out to be born out of nowhere but with good abilities in the past two years.

He couldn't deal with the one in his family who was stronger than him, so he naturally passed on his hatred to others. In the past two years, he had trouble dealing with Zhao Rong, who had a bad background and reputation.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have purposely made today's appointment - didn't I just want to see Zhao Rong's jokes?

"I just don't know if the money given by others is enough for you, San Shao. If not, we are all friends." Yu Xian pointed to the row of wine on the table. , it’s not impossible.”

Zhao Rong raised his eyes and glanced at Yu Xian.

He poured a bottle of the highest alcohol alcohol slowly, pouring a full glass.He didn't drink it himself, but pushed it in front of Yu Xian.

He said: "Young Master Yu is right, I do have a lot of money in my pocket."

He raised his hand, called the nearest waiter, and said in a loud voice: "Please remember, I will be responsible for all the bills at the scene today—except Yu Shao."

"Of course, if Young Master Yu makes me happy after drinking, it's not impossible for me to count yours."

Zhao Rong used to be gentle and tactful, but he had never been so sharp. When he said this, Liu Shun was dumbfounded.

Yu Xian froze for a moment, his face turned green.

He couldn't afford the whole audience's money at all, couldn't overwhelm Zhao Rong, and wouldn't drink the wine that Zhao Rong pushed in front of him.

His face was down.

He intended to ridicule Zhao Rong, so when Liu Shun suggested this place at first, he was quite happy - after all, the Chen family went bankrupt, and Zhao Rong might have to count on them if Zhao Rong came to this place.

But when Zhao Rong came, he came neither humble nor overbearing, and never downcast.

And Zhao Rong's words just now were not simply a treat, but an order from everyone present.

The consumption here is not low. How much is the cost on the table for one night?

Didn't Zhao Rong's house fall and the monkeys scattered?Where does the confidence come from?

Could it be that Zhenzhen and Young Master Qiao...

"If I'm really having an affair with Qiao," Zhao Rong seemed to see through his thoughts at a glance, "I've been chewing on your tongue for a while, how can you still sit here leisurely?"

Yu Xian's words got stuck in his throat, neither up nor down.

Zhao Rong sat there, lowering his eyes slightly, crossing his hands, and his tone returned to the usual calm: "Young Master Yu, so do you want to drink this glass of wine?"

Yu Xian looked ugly and couldn't say anything in response.

What Zhao Rong said was actually correct.If Zhao Rong really had something to do with Qiao Da, with Qiao Da's skills, how could he let them talk nonsense?

But if Zhao Rong and Qiao Da had nothing to do with each other, and somehow they weren't as down and out as they imagined, wouldn't it be a waste of effort for them to come out today, and instead become a joke?

Yu Xian didn't move.

Zhao Rong stopped talking and waited for Yu to leave first.

Sure enough, after a while, Yu Xian got up with a dark face, grabbed his coat and left.

The few people who followed him didn't have the shame to continue to stay, and followed in a desperate manner.

Those of them, raised and spoiled since they were young, cared most about saving face.They don't have much face left tonight, and they will definitely not take the initiative to mention this matter again, and the rumors will be self-defeating.

Zhao Rong's goal has been achieved.

It was rare for him to be aggressive like this, and he did it on purpose just now. Now those people from Yu Xian had left, and the rest of the people at the table were brought by Liu Shun, so he relaxed.

He didn't know that Qiao Nanqi was sitting at another table near here, through the dim light, looking straight at him.

He just leaned back on his seat and asked the waiter to serve him a glass of refreshing Longjing in the alcohol-smelling bar.

Liu Shun regained his composure and said, "Third Young Master, I might not be able to get so much out of Kari right now, why don't I call my dad? The order of the whole audience, my dear... ..."

Zhao Rong made him laugh: "When did I let you take it? I said it all, my bag is my bag."

"You have? Your house isn't—" He covered his mouth.

"The Chen family is bankrupt, I can afford it, it's two different things." Zhao Rong doesn't mind others talking about the Chen family, after all he himself hates it, "Don't worry, it won't cost much, I invested in this bar."

Before Liu Shun recovered from the situation just now, Zhao Rong's words knocked him unconscious again.

Fortunately, he is a real rich second generation with an empty head, this kind of thing can't go around in his mind three times, and it didn't take long for them to chat about other topics.

Liu Shun pointed to a 20-year-old young man beside him, and asked Zhao Rong, "Third Young Master, what do you think of him?"

That young man looked good, Zhao Rong had never seen him before, but for some reason, he was somewhat familiar with his features.

Because of his familiarity, his eyes froze for a moment on the other person's face, just in time to meet the other person's gaze.The man glanced at Zhao Rong, and seemed a little embarrassed.

Zhao Rong: "?"

Liu Shun leaned in front of him and said in a low voice at a volume that only the two of them could hear: "Aren't you alone? The one you want to chase, heck, it's too difficult. I thought that since you like I've found someone who looks the same in the past few days, if you're interested, we don't have to compete with Joe, don't we..."

Zhao Rong: "."

He finally knew who the familiarity between the eyebrows and eyes came from.

Liu Shun patted the young man: "What are you doing in a daze, you sit with Third Young Master."

The man got up, walked around the table, and came towards Zhao Rong.

Zhao Rong wanted to refuse.

But in a flash, he thought of Fang Zhuoqun asking him if he still liked Qiao Nanqi, Zhao Ming asking him if he planned to get married in the future, and thinking that even if he fulfilled his engagement with Lu Xingping, they would part ways immediately after receiving the inheritance. ...

Suddenly, the man was about to sit down beside him.

Before he could say anything, someone suddenly grabbed his hand and dragged him away from the young man who was about to sit down.

Zhao Rong bumped into the man's chest and looked up to see a familiar face.

Under the dim light of the bar, Qiao Nanqi's angular facial features were hidden in the shadows, very deep.

He lowered his head to meet Zhao Rong's gaze, and tightened his grip on Zhao Rong's wrist.

Zhao Rong was taken aback.

The next moment, he abruptly withdrew his hand that was held by Qiao Nanqi, and took several steps back.

He didn't stop until there was enough distance between the two of them to stand, and looked at the man in front of him who shouldn't be here at all.

"what are you doing?"
