Qiao Qiao chose to escape, not because she didn't want to face it, but because she felt so guilty that she couldn't calmly face the amount of affection Shao Jingmo had for her.
Each piece seemed ordinary, but each one was so heavy that she couldn't afford to pay it back.
Jingcheng chased her out and stopped her: "Miss, wait a moment."
Qiao Qiao stopped, but did not look back.
Jingcheng looked at Qiao Qiao's back and said, "I'm sorry that what I said just now caused some trouble to the eldest lady, but in addition, what I want to say is that the third master's feelings for the eldest lady are unwavering."
Qiao Qiao was silent for a long time, then slowly turned around with a sarcastic look on her face: "What nice words to say, then why didn't he say it to me face to face?"
Jingcheng's jaw tightened.
Qiao Qiao's lips raised a joking smile: "You too, you are just a bodyguard. You know that saying these words will cause trouble to me, but you insist on taking up my time to say these meaningless words. If you were mine, I would have fired you long ago.
You are."
After she finished speaking, the joke on her lips disappeared and turned into an indifferent expression.
Jingcheng didn't say anything in the end and just watched Qiao Qiao leave.
-
Before five o'clock, all Shao Jingmo's personal belongings were moved out of Qiao's house by workers arranged by Jingcheng.
Among these personal belongings, except for a few pieces of clothing and the paintings in the bedroom compartment, nothing else was taken away.
Qiao Qiao stood alone in the garden, quietly watching the car leave. She didn't look back until the door slowly closed.
Mother Qiao came quietly and put her shawl on Qiao Qiao's shoulders: "It's time to have dinner soon, let's go in."
Qiao Qiao didn't say anything, she just raised her hand and opened her shawl.
Mother Qiao had no time to reach out to catch it, and the shawl fell directly to the ground.
"Hey!" Mother Qiao bent down and picked up the shawl, her face unhappy.
However, Qiao Qiao's reaction was like a rebellious child, she turned around and left without saying anything.
Mother Qiao was a little angry: "I just spoil you too much."
On the dinner table.
The atmosphere was very quiet, except for the crisp sound of chopsticks hitting the porcelain bowl, which came and went.
Halfway through the meal, Mr. Qiao finally couldn't help but say: "The mushroom, chicken and fir fungus soup tonight is not bad."
Father Qiao immediately answered: "It's delicious."
Mr. Qiao took advantage of the situation and asked: "What do you think?"
Qiao Qiao didn't answer and continued to eat.
"彽彽, you can't go on like this." The person who spoke was Qiao's mother. She had been sitting down to eat and endured it, but her expression was not very good: "You have to look forward, you can't stay where you are. You will have to face a new situation in the future.
Why should life be made like this, where we have to live or die? What's the point?"
Parents' patience is always limited.
What's more, Qiao Qiao is always in a desperate mood, completely immersed in her own world, and can't listen to anyone's words.
Taking advantage of the fact that she was at the dinner table, Mother Qiao couldn't hold back and said all the words she had been holding in her heart.
It seems to have some effect.
Qiao Qiao put down her chopsticks, looked at Mother Qiao, and asked in a very calm tone: "You don't want to see me like this, then tell me who caused me to look like this that I hate even myself.
Woolen cloth?"
Mother Qiao got angry for a moment and slammed her chopsticks on the dining table.
A ‘pop’ sound!
Father Qiao was startled. Mr. Qiao's face was solemn. Only Qiao Qiao didn't blink. Her whole body was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.
Mother Qiao rarely loses her temper with Qiao Qiao, let alone yells at Qiao Qiao. Most of the time, she is easy to talk and discuss, but today Mother Qiao really can't control her temper: "With your tone, do you think the current situation is caused by us?"
of?"
Qiao Qiao didn't say anything, she just looked at Qiao's mother quietly.
"A heartless and unjust person is not worthy of your heart and soul for him. He is not worthy at all." Qiao Zi said in a strong tone. After finishing speaking, seeing that her daughter's face did not change, she softened her tone and said, "Fate is something that has always been there.
You can't force it. It means that your fate has come to an end. You should plan your next life carefully."
Father Qiao echoed from the side: "Yes, you see, you have been dull all day today."
Only Mr. Qiao remained silent.
Mother Qiao thought that after she said these words, she would most likely annoy Qiao Qiao even more. With her unstable temper, Mother Qiao would not be surprised if she yelled at her the next second.
But.
To Mother Qiao's surprise, Qiao Qiao nodded obediently and responded warmly: "I will adjust my mood as soon as possible."
This reaction was not what Mother Qiao expected at all. She turned to look at Father Qiao, who also looked confused.
Only Mr. Qiao said: "Just do whatever you want."
Qiao Qiao looked at Mr. Qiao: "Grandpa, I will get better soon, don't worry about me."
Mr. Qiao nodded and used serving chopsticks to pick up Qiao Qiao's food: "Let's eat."
The next day.
Qiao Qiao went to work in the company as usual.
The news of convening a general meeting of shareholders has spread throughout the company, and everyone in the company knows that Deep Blue Group is changing its president.
In Dou Ying's office.
Qiao Qiao handed the document in her hand to Dou Ying, then raised her hand to close the batik shawl on her body: "The shareholders' meeting will be held tomorrow. How much inside information do you know?"
Dou Ying's expression was complicated: "It's not clear yet."
Suddenly, Dou Ying raised her head and looked at Qiao Qiao: "Do you know that there are rumors in the company that you will take over the position of President Qiao next?"
Qiao Qiao remained silent, her eyes dim and hard to distinguish.
Dou Ying looked at Qiao Qiao's face and suddenly burst into laughter: "Actually, I'm the only one who thinks so. Those in the company didn't guess that you would take over Mr. Qiao's position."
From the day she entered Deep Blue, the first person Qiao Qiao came into contact with was Dou Ying. The two were colleagues and friends, and their relationship was so good that they talked about everything.
However, no matter how good the relationship is, Qiao Qiao also knows one thing in her heart, that is, Dou Ying was trained by Shao Jingmo.
A faint smile appeared on Qiao Qiao's lips. She raised her hand to take a book from the bookcase beside her, opened it at random, and rested her fingertips on a page: "Why does Secretary Dou think that I took over as Deep Blue?
"
Dou Ying did not answer. She stood up, walked around the desk to Qiao Qiao, and took out the book in her hand: "You have read this book too early."
Qiao Qiao's eyes fell on the cover of the book: "Encyclopedia of Parenting?"
"If you are not married and have children, why should you read the parenting encyclopedia?" Dou Ying teased her. After putting the parenting encyclopedia back on the bookshelf, she took another one and handed it to Qiao Qiao: "This one is suitable for you."
Qiao Qiao took the book: ""One Step Forward"."
Dou Ying said: "Inspire women to bravely pursue their goals and achieve the perfect balance between career and family."
Qiao Qiao: "I'm not married."
"Of course... I know." Dou Ying found it interesting. She opened two pages for Qiao Qiao, and after reaching the catalog page, she said, "I think it's suitable for you. You can read it when you're bored."
Qiao Qiao closed the book: "Thank you, but I don't want to read it for now. Back to the topic, Secretary Dou, you haven't answered me yet, why do you think it's me who takes over the Deep Blue Group?"
"Taking it all together," Dou Ying said.
Qiao Qiao was puzzled: "What are the specifics?"
Dou Yingwaner: "When you first came to Shenlan Group, Mr. Qiao showed you the company's important accounts. Which boss would do such a thing?"
Qiao Qiao pursed her lips into a straight line.
Before Dou Ying finished speaking, she continued to say to Qiao Qiao: "You should know that the company's accounts are the lifeblood of the company. No matter how much Mr. Qiao dotes on your niece, he will not give his lifeline directly to you.
But Mr. Qiao just did this, so let me guess, what is Mr. Qiao planning to do?"
Qiao Qiao said nothing and looked at Dou Ying quietly, waiting for her to finish her words.
"It's to train you and let you take his place."
Dou Ying raised her hand and patted Qiao Qiao's shoulder, giving Qiao Qiao a reassuring and firm look: "Actually, you know that I am a loyal minister trained by Mr. Qiao, and I will always be loyal to Mr. Qiao. Likewise..."
Dou Ying looked into Qiao Qiao's eyes and said word by word: "I will also be loyal to you."
Without any twists and turns, Dou Ying clearly stated her position and attitude in front of Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao put the books in her hands back on the bookshelf: "I am not yet capable of taking over Deep Blue."
"Ability requires experience. I remember that when Mr. Qiao first entered Deep Blue, he was not as good as one of the current thunderous methods. Time is the best grinding tool, and you will be the best knife." Dou
Every word Ying said was full of profound meaning.
Qiao Qiao didn't want to understand the deep meaning. She only said three words: "It's boring."
Dou Ying's throat was choked and she wanted to say something, but Qiao Qiao had already turned around and left.
In the elevator, Qiao Qiao gathered her shawl. The mirror on the inner wall reflected her current appearance, with exquisite makeup and beautiful hairstyle. She looked radiant and energetic.
This is exactly what Father Qiao and Mother Qiao most want to see.
She did a great job.
But she didn't know how long she could hold on.
When the elevator reached the next floor, Song Yun came in. The two met. Song Yun's eyes stayed on Qiao Qiao for three to five seconds and said, "This batik shawl really suits you."
Qiao Qiao was stunned for a few seconds: "Do you also like batik?"
Song Yun shook her head: "I don't like it very much myself, but I know you definitely like it."
Qiao Qiao curled her lips and smiled: "Chief Song, why do you see me?"
Song Yun also had a smile on her face: "I also learned about it from Mr. Qiao. He said you like batik."
The smile on Qiao Qiao's lips quickly faded.
Song Yun didn't notice the change in Qiao Qiao's expression and continued to finish her sentence: "The batik shawl you are wearing looks very familiar. If I remember correctly, it should be the last time I accompanied Mr. Qiao on a business trip to Long City. He started
After the meeting, I went to the market to pick some for you."
Speaking of this, Song Yun didn't know what interesting story she remembered, and the smile on her lips became even bigger: "Mr. Qiao has a majestic appearance, and his appearance is extremely outstanding. If you stand in the crowd, you will attract too many crazy bees and butterflies."
.That day, my assistant and I were standing next to each other as a human wall to block those women, while Mr. Qiao was right there picking out batiks for you. Looking back on that scene now, I can’t help but laugh."
Qiao Qiao looked down at the shawl she was wearing: "...I thought he bought this after he came back."
"It's true that I came back early, but the batik was indeed bought in Long City." Song Yun reached out and gently touched the batik shawl on Qiao Qiao's body: "You like batik, you should be able to tell, this kind of rough one
The workmanship is what you get from the street market. If it's too delicate, Mr. Qiao should have it customized for you."
This sentence reminded Qiao Qiao.
But at that time, she didn't take a close look at the batik shawl that Shao Jingmo brought back for her. At that time, she was jealous because she saw him and Song Yun together.
Qiao Qiao laughed silently and said nothing in the end.
Elevator to the first floor.
Song Yun and Qiao Qiao came out together, and Song Yun asked: "Where are you going?"
Qiao Qiao looked at the coffee shop over there, and Song Yun understood: "That's such a coincidence, I'm going to order a cup of coffee too."
Qiao Qiao said: "Then let's go together."
Song Yun was naturally happy.
The two talked about many topics, but the most important topic was the shareholders' meeting tomorrow. Song Yun knew more, but it was limited to internal information. As for who took over the Deep Blue Group, Song Yun's current guess was
Mr. Joe.
"This mountain originally belonged to tigers. Now that tigers have returned to the mountains, it can be regarded as bringing order to the chaos."
Qiao Qiao: "Changing things out of chaos?"
Song Yun nodded: "These are Mr. Qiao's original words."
Shao Jingmo's original words were: To bring order out of chaos, we must push everything back on track.
-
Waited until the next day.
Qiao Qiao arrived at Shenlan Group with Mr. Qiao. The three secretaries and three assistants were all busy, and all the company's top executives came out to greet her. There was a big battle.
Qiao Qiao dressed formally and pushed Mr. Qiao's wheelchair into the company under the eyes of countless eyes and reporters.
Shao Jingmo will naturally attend today's shareholders' meeting.
Two days later, Qiao Qiao saw him again. He seemed to have not changed much, and his face was as cold as ever, making it difficult for people to approach him at first sight.
In the past, he looked at her coldly, but at least he looked at her with a look that he knew her. Now he didn't even look at her, as if the two of them were completely strangers.
Sitting on the long oval table were all the generals and veterans of the Deep Blue Group.
Mr. Qiao sat at the front, Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo faced each other, and others below.
At this time, Mr. Qiao spoke loudly: "Today, I officially announce to everyone that I will transfer all the equity in my name to the name of my granddaughter Qiao Qiao."
After finishing her words, Qiao Qiao slowly tightened her hand on her leg.
She raised her eyes and looked at Shao Jingmo opposite. His face was cold and he didn't speak.
Mr. Qiao's eyes fell on Qiao Qiao and said softly: "So currently, the person who owns the largest share of the Deep Blue Group is my granddaughter Qiao Qiao. So I announce that she will become the actual controlling shareholder of the Deep Blue Group.
In the future, she will take my place and move forward."
The voice fell.
There was no objection from below.
Everyone's eyes were also on Qiao Qiao at this time, waiting for Qiao Qiao's next speech.
Qiao Qiao was not nervous. Under the gaze of everyone, when she slowly stood up and faced everyone, she looked calm and showed no timidity.
Her eyes first looked around, and finally rested on Shao Jingmo opposite, and slowly said: "I will definitely live up to grandpa's expectations and everyone's expectations. In the coming days, I will definitely lead the Deep Blue Group to a better place."
A good future.”
Make a short speech, not too much, just say what needs to be said.
Afterwards, Qiao Qiao slowly took her seat amidst bursts of applause.
Her eyes had been fixed on Shao Jingmo, and at this moment, he was finally willing to look her in the eyes and said two words to her: "Congratulations."
