Yao Simi told Chi Ji privately about these things, but Lu Changming didn't know about them.

Hearing what Chi Ji said, Lu Changming frowned subconsciously, and asked, "Did your mother not send it?"

"I don't know." Chi Ji put down his phone with a serious expression on his face, "My mother has never been a procrastinator. In theory, since she has made such a decision, I should be able to receive this contract in a short time. Why? No...it's not my mother's style..."

The more Chi Ji thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. After a while, a terrible idea suddenly came to his heart, he choked for breath, and lost his voice: "Could something have happened!?"

Lu Changming was relatively calm, and said simply and neatly: "Call and ask."

After all, Yao Simei was sick, so there is a possibility of some unexpected accident. Chi Ji’s hands trembled nervously, and he searched for a long time at a loss before finding Yao Simei in WeChat. In order to prevent himself from being deceived, he simply called a The video call passed.

Lu Changming, who was standing behind Chi Ji, changed his position winkingly, and sat on the desk in front of Chi Ji, waiting silently.

It was close to six o'clock at this time, almost dinner time, and the phone call over there was quickly connected.

Fortunately, the worry just now was just a false alarm. The person on the other side who answered the phone was Yao Simei herself, and she seemed to be in good spirits.

After receiving the video call from Chi Ji, Yao Simei was obviously very happy, and couldn't wait to ask: "Xiao Chi, why did you call here? Have you eaten yet?"

Chi Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, put on a smile and said to the camera: "Not yet, I'm ready to eat. How about you."

Yao Simei reached out to ask the nanny to help her hold the phone, and smiled from ear to ear: "I ate something in the afternoon, I'm not very hungry now, I'll eat later. Are you still off work?"

Chi Ji nodded: "Yes, I'm off work now."

"Mom saw that you have been running the company very well recently, but don't work too hard, take more rest, and don't work too hard." Yao Simi looked at Chi Ji on the screen, wishing to see it more clearly, unconsciously. "However, I see that you are not as thin as when you came last time. As expected, the food in our country is better. I said that the food in the United States is not nutritious and not healthy at all."

Hearing this, Chi Ji couldn't help lowering his eyes and smiling.

is not that right……

Being raised by Lu Changming all day long, he only picks up precious ingredients and throws them into the pot, so it's strange that he doesn't grow meat.

An inadvertent smile was caught by Yao Simi on the video call. Yao Simi hadn't seen such a sincere smile on her eldest son for an unbelievable long time, and her eyes were sour after being unbearable for a while.

Chi Ji's back was facing the floor-to-ceiling windows, and he couldn't really see Yao Simei on the phone screen, and he always felt embarrassed to see himself on the screen when making a video call. His eyes were intentionally or unintentionally avoided, and he didn't notice this detail.

He picked up the coffee and put on his best appearance for Yao Simei.

"Yes, I'm still more used to eating Chinese food."

"Yes, yes, Chinese food is good, Chinese food is good." Yao Simei nodded desperately, and said with concern, "Speaking of which, Xiaochi's birthday is coming soon, don't make yourself too tired, mom will order a birthday cake for you then."

Obviously it should be a happy thing, but after hearing the word "birthday", Chi Ji's eyes dimmed a little, and he raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Good mother."

"The child has grown up so quickly." Yao Simei smiled gratifiedly, and then said, "By the way, why are you calling mom?"

At first, the main reason for calling was because of the share transfer agreement, I thought something happened to Yao Simei.

Knowing that Yao Simei was fine now, Chi Ji didn't know what to say.

After all, the matter of transferring the shares was decided by Yao Simei alone, and she always felt like she was asking for something from the Chi family when she took the initiative to call to ask. Chi Ji didn't know how to say this.

But this is not a trivial matter after all, and if there is a problem in the middle, it may not be a small problem.

After hesitating, Chi Ji gritted his teeth and spoke frankly.

"Uh, it's nothing, but I suddenly remembered that Mom, you sent me a WeChat message last time saying that you would send me a share transfer agreement. I suddenly remembered that I hadn't received it until today. I thought something happened to you and I was worried. Come on the phone and ask."

After the voice fell behind, Yao Simei's expression was obviously surprised: "You didn't receive it? I sent it to you a month ago."

Chi Ji frowned slightly: "No."

Yao Simei's expression was also very puzzled: "How could it be? I'm afraid that I lost the EMS that was specially sent. It stands to reason that there will be no problem. Just wait a moment, I will find the tracking number to check."

Chi Ji said: "Mom, you'd better have a good rest, just give me the tracking number, it's more convenient for me to check."

"That's fine." Yao Simei said, "Then I'll give you the tracking number to see if you lost it. It's okay, if you really can't find it, just let me know, and I'll just send you another copy. I printed it here. Always have backups.”

After confirming that there was something wrong with this matter, Chi Ji chatted with Yao Simei for a while and then hung up the phone.

He bowed his head to copy the tracking number sent by Yao Simei, and heard Lu Changming next to him ask.

"I'm sure your mother sent it out, but you haven't received it?"

"Well." Chi Ji nodded, and after copying the tracking number, he went to the official website to check the tracking number, "If you really don't want to give it to me, it's just a matter of one sentence, my mother doesn't have to lie to me, saying that she must have sent it. It's just that ..."

"It's just that something tricky happened in the middle, so you didn't receive it." Lu Changming answered, his eyes gradually darkened, "The loss rate of EMS is very low."

"Yes."

"Did Chi Chenglin do something in the middle?"

Web page search results come out quickly.

The courier tracking number shows that the courier was transported normally, and finally the company signed for it normally without any problems.

Chi Ji turned over the phone and showed Lu Changming the content on it.

"It has been signed. If Chi Chenglin wants to do something wrong, I can only think of two ways. Either cut it off before sending it out, or send it to me in a package. The former should not have logistics information, and the latter should be received by me." What should be the matter if I have not received the logistics information?"

Lu Changming lowered his eyes and pursed his lips. After thinking for a moment, he raised his eyes and looked at him: "There is an insider in the company. This document was intercepted when it arrived and it was not in your hands. How do your letters usually get to you?"

Hearing his words, Chi Ji frowned, and said thoughtfully.

"No matter how far away the confidential documents are, they will be delivered by a special person, and they will not be mailed. Generally, the mailed documents are ordinary documents or invoices that are not important. The courier cannot go upstairs, and the staff on the first floor of the building usually collect them on their behalf. Send it to the company front desk in order, and the company front desk will hand it over to Zhai Ying. Among them...there are too many people who may handle it."

Lu Changming's mind was spinning quickly. After hearing what he said, he shrugged and handed the phone back.

"Then there's nothing you can do. It's been so long and it's hard to find it. It's not a big problem. Anyway, it's not you who signed the transfer agreement, so it's no different from a piece of waste paper. You just say that the company is lost and ask your mother to re-sign it." Just send you a copy, and fill in the address at home."

Chi Ji thought so too, took back the phone and put it in his hand to play around in a circle, heaving a long sigh.

"Actually, I don't think it's necessary. I really don't want to have anything to do with the Chi family anymore, and I don't want to take things from my mother anymore. These are really enough for now."

"What's the situation with QAQ shares?" Lu Changming asked him.

"I have 30%, my father and mother each have 15%, and Chi Chenglin has 5%." Chi Ji leaned on the back of the chair, sniffing, "The last time I went to G City, my mother said that Chi Chenglin always wanted After getting her 15%, she was worried that something would happen to her suddenly, and the shares in her hand would be inherited by Chi Chenglin, and Chi Chenglin would get my dad's 15% to deal with me. But in fact, I really don't care... Chi Chenglin Just give it to him if you want it, I'm not interested in getting into trouble with him."

Lu Changming didn't sound like he cared too much. He crossed his arms and thought for a while, then tilted his head and said.

"You are a legally adopted child of the Chi family. This proposed parent-child relationship is equivalent to the blood relationship between biological parents and children before the law, and is protected by law. In principle, you are also a legitimate heir, even the eldest son. So there is no such thing as your mother's assets being swallowed by Chi Chenglin, unless your mother makes a will in advance. But if she wants to give you the shares so much, she will definitely not make such a will. "

These words are reasonable, but Chi Ji smiled slightly after hearing this, and spread his hands and said: "You are right, but there is a prerequisite missing."

"What?" Lu Changming asked.

"Back then Chi Chenglin made a fuss about choosing between the two, and I moved it out of the Chi family's household registration book before I went abroad." Chi Ji's expression didn't change much, and he took a sip of his coffee with downcast eyes, "So now on the legal level, I have nothing to do with the Chi family, and I am not protected by any means."

"Move out" is a smart way to say it, and it sounds pretty good.

But Lu Changming knew that this was only because Chi Ji's expression was more tactful.

Chi Ji is an adopted son and has no proof of blood relationship.

Once the transfer of household registration is done after adulthood, it is essentially a complete severance of ties.

To put it bluntly, it is to be kicked out.

Lu Changming's expression didn't fluctuate much when he learned that Chi Ji might lose the management right of QAQ.

But watching Chi Ji say in such a calm tone that he had moved out of his household registration so long ago, Lu Changming's eyes suddenly ignited monstrous anger.

Why should he be abused by this family time and time again for someone who is so precious to him.

Is there really someone whose heart is not made of flesh?

In order not to affect Chi Ji's emotions, Lu Changming swallowed all his surging anger, took a deep breath, and raised the corners of his mouth familiarly.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, this 30% is firmly in your hands, and no one can take it away." After speaking, Lu Changming suddenly changed the subject, and said to Chi Ji with a smile on his eyes, "Speaking of which, your birthday is indeed coming soon, guess what? Guess what gift I gave you."

Chi Ji looked up at him, blinked first, with a gentle smile, but a bit bitter tone.

"That's not my birthday, it's just the day I was taken back to Chi's house. The orphanage only knows my approximate birth year..."

The heart seemed to be pierced by a sharp dagger, and a bloody wound was ripped out.

Lu Changming pinched the edge of the desk tightly, his knuckles almost lost all blood.

He tried his best to keep the smile on his face flawless, squatted down in front of Chi Ji, put his arms on Chi Ji's legs, put his chin on his palm, stared at him with a smile and said, "It doesn't matter, that's today. Guess me quickly What gift have I prepared for you?"

Chi Ji was slightly startled, and after a while, he bent his eyes and smiled.

He stared at Lu Changming with downcast eyes, tapped his chin with the tip of his index finger, and began to guess seriously.

Chi Ji: "Watch?"

Lu Changming: "Guess again~"

Chi Ji: "A tie or cufflinks?"

Lu Changming: "Continue to guess~"

Chi Ji: "Couple outfits or necklaces for couples?"

Lu Changming: "Think again."

Chi Ji: "It can't be a QAQ gift package..."

Lu Changming: "You don't look forward to it~"

After guessing like this for 10 minutes, Lu Changming still didn't tell Chi Ji what birthday gift he gave.

Considering that Lu Changming's stay in the company is very boring for a whole day, Chi Ji has not worked overtime recently, and will leave work directly after the hour.

The two went to a restaurant with an elegant environment to have dinner, and then asked the driver to stop by the Cunyue Lake near the community, and walked slowly home under the dark street lights.

No hugs, no kisses.

But Chi Ji enjoyed such a simple time together.

Those family affections that were hard to come by, and the selective abandonment that they couldn't get over, seemed to have become less concerned as if they had passed away.

Time failed to heal all the wounds, so it fell into Lu Changming's hands.

On this night that was unilaterally designated by Lu Changming as "birthday", Chi Ji took the initiative like never before, tearing off all the masks of restraint, as if he wanted to sacrifice himself to Lu Changming's hands.

But Lu Changming was unbelievably gentle.

With extreme patience, he magnified all his feelings.

The combination of possessiveness and utterly cherished love has always been the worst.

Chi Ji was once again defeated in Lu Changming's territory.

The sky broke, and the first ray of sunlight in the morning sprinkled on the bed through the screen window.

Chi Ji dimly heard the familiar movement from the kitchen, woke up slowly in his sleep, stretched his waist and sat up from the bed.

A mountain of gift boxes piled up on the ground at the end of the bed came into view.

There is even a blackboard on the wall directly opposite, with a few large characters written in chalk on it, like a blackboard newspaper in elementary school.

[Good morning~ Please open the birthday gift blind box~]

There is even a utility knife hanging on the bottom of the blackboard.

With a smile in Chi Ji's lake-like eyes, he moved and sat on the edge of the bed, took a utility knife and began to open the gift box.

One after another "blind boxes" were opened sequentially.

Watches, ties, cufflinks, couple clothes, couple necklaces, QAQ of various styles, electric shavers, handwritten love letters,...

Etc., etc.

All the gifts that Chi Ji had guessed yesterday appeared in front of him one after another as the box was opened. Without exception, they were all carefully selected surprises by Lu Changming.

All the emotions rushed up, but Chi Ji immediately sorted out that fierce love accounted for the most.

He couldn't wait to see Lu Changming, he piled up everything on the bed, and rummaged through his bare feet for slippers.

At this moment, Lucky happened to come in through the doorway, which seemed to be artificially caused by coincidence.

Chi Ji didn't care about playing with the cat for a while, and was about to open the door, but saw a small red lucky bag hanging around Lucky's neck, which was very conspicuous.

The obviously deliberately designed object made Chi Ji very curious, and he reached out to pick it off.

The lucky bag was very light, so Chi Ji untied the rope and turned it over, pouring out Lu Changming's love overflowing from the lucky bag.

A simple platinum men's ring fell on the palm of the hand, heavy and cold, with 8 letters engraved on the inner ring.
