Clear stream

Two days later, Xi Qingxi left the mountain smoothly.The first thing he did when he got home was to open Weibo and go online.If Fang Ruogu's company had the foresight, it would definitely make a big fuss about the news of his injury.

Unsurprisingly, the topic of #方如少拍浦弥# was on the hot search list. Clicking on the topic, there were not too many discordant voices in the square, either feeling distressed or asking about the situation at the time.

A big V broke the news that Fang Ruogu was injured to save Fan Zhen. The fans of the two families were torn apart before, but now they shook hands and made peace, selling Amway to passers-by.

I don't know if Fang Ruogu changed teams or the other side is too lazy to be a monster, at least Xi Qingxi doesn't have to waste time on these trivial matters.

He closed the page to log in to the mailbox, and there were several unread emails lying in the inbox. Xi Qingxi's face was slightly condensed, and he opened them one by one.

Another stack of photos, of Shao Cheng and Qu Zhiyi.Xi Qingxi rummaged casually, and slowly, Xi Qingxi's mouse stopped.

The last one is the scene where Shao Cheng meets Xi Mu.

Xi Qingxi dialed the private detective's number with a cold face: "Explain what the photo is about."

"Shao Cheng and Qu Zhiyi suspected that they had broken up, but Qu Zhiyi disagreed. Two days later, for some reason, the two started going in and out together again."

"Shao Cheng has met Xi Mu several times in private. They are more vigilant, and I can't find out the content of the conversation."

Xi Qingxi was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Keep watching them, especially Shao Cheng."

Recalling Shao Cheng's mysterious call last time, the person who contacted him was most likely Xi Mu.Xi Mu instructed him to attack Qu Zhiyi, no matter what the specific method was, it would probably threaten her life.

But what is Xi Mu's purpose in hurting Qu Zhiyi?

Xi Qingxi's thoughts fell into an endless loop, like a traveler surrounded by thick fog, confused and depressed.

After thinking about it, he decided to go to the company.

Xi Qingxi thought that Qu Zhiyi might be having a bad life, but she didn't expect her to be this bad.The collagen on the face was gone, the cheeks were sunken, and it was so thin that it lost its appearance.The eyes are empty and lifeless, unable to reflect a gleam of brilliance, and the black eye bags hang loosely on the lower eyelids, like a drug addict.

The first time Xi Qingxi saw her, she subconsciously took a few steps back.Then he reacted immediately and talked to her as usual: "Report me about today's itinerary."

Qu Zhiyi's voice was calm and unwavering: "Mr. Xi said you went out to play, so there is no schedule for this week."

Xi Qingxi's complexion changed, and he asked, "Did he say anything else to you?"

Qu Zhi wondered for a while, and said, "Mr. Xi also said that he will take care of all the work you left behind."

"I haven't been here for a few days, and you have been with uncle?"

"Yes." Qu Zhiyi replied concisely.

"Okay, I see, you go to work first."

Qu Zhiyi nodded, turned and exited the office.When passing by other departments, she vaguely heard her colleagues talking about her in a low voice, but she didn't take it seriously and left silently.

She also didn't know what was wrong with her, why Shao Cheng was the only one, so that her once high head could be lowered into the dust.

Under Qu Zhiyi's bitter persuasion, Shao Cheng did not insist on breaking up, but he did not continue to live with her, because he wanted to go back to his hometown to take care of his mother.

Shao Cheng's family background is ordinary, not as good as the top, but more than the bottom.Going abroad to study almost used up all the savings of the family, and returning to China to open a store cost a lot of money.Originally, the income of the dessert shop was quite considerable, and he made a little money, but unexpectedly encountered a natural disaster, which made all his efforts come to naught.

The store has not yet recovered, and his mother has another accident, and the pressure on Shao Cheng's shoulders has doubled. Qu Zhiyi understands that he does not want to drag her down, so she chooses to tide over the difficulties with Shao Cheng.

Qu Zhiyi took out all the savings in her body to fill the vacancy, and even pawned the diamond ring her mother gave her for her wedding.This month's salary is also handed over to Shao Cheng, and he only keeps [-] for living expenses.

However, Shao Cheng told her: Not enough, far from enough.Except for the handling fee, there is also a series of follow-up treatments, which are a drop in the bucket.

Qu Zhiyi was on the verge of collapse, and had to rely on sleep aids to fall asleep every night, but even with the help of drugs, she would still wake up in the middle of the night.

In addition to working every day, she racked her brains to think about how to raise money in a short time.The answer is no solution, but any method that can be collected in a short time involves illegal transactions.

During the lunch break, Shao Cheng contacted her again: "Zhiyi, we..."

"Shao Cheng, no matter how hard or tiring it is, this is my choice and has nothing to do with you."

"What should we do?" Shao Cheng's tone turned into tears, and he choked up, "I'm such a waste, I can't save my mother and I can't protect you..."

"Don't say that, no matter how hard it is, life will always pass." Qu Zhiyi comforted softly, "Let's find a way together, if it doesn't work, I'll borrow money from my parents."

Even though she said that, she didn't have high expectations.Qu Zhiyi's family style is very strict, Shao Cheng was her first boyfriend, Qu Zhiyi did not dare to confess to her family, fearing that they would interfere in her love life if they found out.

After hanging up the phone, Qu Zhiyi sighed deeply, randomly picked up two mouthfuls of soaked instant noodles, threw the box into the trash can, and walked to Xi Mu's office with the packed meals.

Xi Mu suffered a loss last time, and now he has changed his old style of doing things and is a lot more cautious. Every time before signing, he has to read the project plan several times before he is willing to start.He is very focused on the new project in his hand, and sometimes he is so focused that he forgets to eat.

"President Xi, let's eat first." Qu Zhiyi put the food on the desk, and then stepped aside respectfully.

Xi Mu put down the document in his hand, glanced at Qu Zhiyi inadvertently, with a flat expression: "Your state is not right."

Qu Zhiyi was taken aback for a moment, then lowered her head even lower, unable to grasp the mood of her boss, she couldn't explain it.

"You can talk to me about anything you encounter." Xi Mu looked directly at Qu Zhiyi with a slightly inquiring gaze, "I don't want employees to affect their work efficiency due to personal emotions."

Qu Zhiyi bit her lip tightly and remained silent.

Xi Mu asked again: "I heard them say... you are a little short of money recently?"

Qu Zhiyi raised his head suddenly, his hands hidden under his sleeves trembled slightly.

"I have a way to get money quickly here, do you want to listen to it?"

……

The food on the table was completely cold, so Xi Mu threw it into the trash can without looking at it.He recalled what that person had said to him that night at the reception.

"Recently, Young Master Xi's reputation has become a bit turbulent. He actually sent his younger brother to prison for Dongyu Group."

"Is Second Young Master Xi still not going home to celebrate the New Year this year? I thought Mr. Xi would bring him here with him."

"But if you think about it, if it were me, unless something happened to me, the family business would naturally be the most secure in your own hands."

The man has a pair of long and narrow fox eyes, and his expression is lazy, as if he doesn't care about everything.He raised his goblet to toast Xi Mu, and then drank the champagne in one gulp.

"Mr. Xi, don't worry. Second Young Master Xi has to go outside to gain experience while he is young. It will be convenient for him to take over the company's affairs when he comes back in the future, isn't it?"

Xi Mu sneered, picked up the photo frame next to the computer and looked at it carefully, it was a photo taken by Xi Yao before going abroad.The boy was smiling and carefree, and the father and son hadn't seen each other for five years.

"Yaoyao, don't worry, you can go home soon."
