The general meeting of shareholders has officially concluded.
Everyone stood up, and after the new president pushed the old chairman out, everyone followed him out one after another. Only Shao Jingmo sat quietly in his seat, never intending to get up and leave.
"Boss!"
Dou Ying stepped forward and took the wheelchair pusher from Qiao Qiao's hand: "Let me push the old chairman."
Qiao Qiao moved half a step to the side, leaving the position for Dou Ying: "This is a good title."
Dou Ying looked at Qiao Qiao and smiled implicitly.
Qiao Qiao said: "Let's go."
Dou Ying nodded. Just as she was about to push the wheelchair, Mr. Qiao turned around and called: "彽彽."
Qiao Qiao took two steps forward, squatted down in front of Mr. Qiao, and asked, "What's wrong, grandpa?"
Mr. Qiao pointed behind him without saying anything, but Qiao Qiao understood what it meant at a glance.
She shook her head and said quietly: "I'm not going."
Mr. Qiao's face was full of kindness: "Instead of waiting downstairs to regret it, and then rushing to catch up and miss it, it is better to go see him again when the time is right. Grandpa is waiting for you downstairs."
Qiao Qiao's bones were stuck in her throat: "Grandpa..."
After watching Dou Ying push Mr. Qiao away, Qiao Qiao stood quietly for a while before turning back to the conference room.
Jingcheng and an assistant stood at the door.
Obviously, Shao Jingmo is still inside and has not come out.
Jingcheng did not stop Qiao Qiao. When Qiao Qiao came back, he opened the door for Qiao Qiao. As usual, he extended his gesture to Qiao Qiao: "Miss, please come in."
Qiao Qiao glanced at Jingcheng: "I'm sorry."
Jingcheng's face was sullen and emotionless: "Miss, you shouldn't say these three words to me."
Qiao Qiao took a breath, raised a smile on her face, and walked into the conference room without saying anything else.
The huge conference room was bright and clear. Just a few minutes ago, it was filled with senior generals and senior officials from the entire company. It was a scene where no employee dared to breathe hard when they came in.
Now, only Shao Jingmo was left, sitting quietly in his original position.
Qiao Qiao walked up behind him and called in a soft voice: "Uncle."
Shao Jingmo raised his hands to tie the buttons on his front and was about to stand up when Qiao Qiao immediately put her hands on his broad shoulders: "I'll just say a few words."
Shao Jingmo did not move.
Qiao Qiao walked around and sat down opposite him. She raised her eyes and looked at him quietly for a moment, then said, "Thank you, uncle, for your painstaking efforts in paving the way for me. In just a few months, I became the new president of Deep Blue Group.
"
Shao Jingmo looked indifferent: "Sitting in this position and sitting firmly in this position are two different concepts. I hope you will always remember it clearly."
"Yes." Qiao Qiao said sternly: "I will remember everything my uncle taught me. From now on, I will be with you at Shenlan Group, so you can rest assured."
Shao Jingmo picked up the mobile phone on the table.
Qiao Qiao stopped him again: "Uncle, can you sit down for a few more minutes?"
Shao Jingmo rubbed his fingertips on the frame of the phone: "Isn't it just a few words?"
A flash of loneliness flashed in Qiao Qiao's eyes, which was too fast for others to notice. She spoke slowly and unhurriedly: "At least we are just a couple. We say goodbye today. I don't know when we will meet again next time."
Shao Jingmo's tone was very calm: "From now on, you and I will each face a new life. Whether we meet again or not is not that important."
Qiao Qiao looked into his eyes, those dark and deep eyes were unfathomable, and no one could ever guess what he was thinking in his heart.
She slowly sat upright, her belly close to the edge of the conference table: "Actually, I know..."
Shao Jingmo seemed to know what she was going to say, and suddenly interrupted her: "It's time for me to go."
After saying that, he stood up, raised his hands to fasten the buttons on his front, moved his seat, and turned around to leave.
He was too decisive.
It seems that I have never loved her. In this relationship, she has always been wishful thinking.
This is probably the result he most wants to see.
But Qiao Qiao didn't want to do what he wanted. When Shao Jingmo turned to leave, she suddenly stood up and said: "Shao Jingmo, you don't love me if you don't love me, that's okay; you marry someone else if you say you want, that's okay; but you
If you want to draw a clear line with me, it will be impossible in this life."
Shao Jingmo did not stop.
Qiao Qiao stared at his back as he left indifferently, and said loudly: "I'm pregnant."
These four short words were like a thousand pounds falling to the ground, with a loud bang that shook the mountain and the earth.
Shao Jingmo suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked her coldly: "What did you say?"
Qiao Qiao's expression remained unchanged and she looked directly at him boldly: "I am pregnant and my blood is connected. Do you think we can still completely draw a clear line between us?"
Shao Jingmo didn't say anything and turned back directly.
When Qiao Qiaochun saw him coming back, she raised her corner with a proud smile, but soon, she stopped laughing. Shao Jingmo grabbed her wrist: "Then go to the hospital for examination now."
When Qiao Qiao heard that he wanted to get checked now, she resisted: "I just checked, there is no need to check a second time."
Shao Jingmo asked her calmly: "Where is the checklist?"
Qiao Qiao: "At home."
In the past few days, she had hardly seen any slight ups and downs of emotions on Shao Jingmo's face. He always had a cold face, especially towards her.
She felt uncomfortable and wanted to make him uncomfortable, but she couldn't bear it.
After thinking about it, she suddenly came up with this idea. Even if she knew the consequences of lying, she still wanted to take the risk.
But now Shao Jingmo's reaction repeatedly fluctuates between belief and disbelief.
His face looked extremely bad.
It was as if I had encountered the most difficult thing, without any surprise or happiness.
Qiao Qiao suddenly realized that even if she was really pregnant now, it would not be something that would make Shao Jingmo change his mind.
So when Shao Jingmo wanted to confirm it with her for the third time, Qiao Qiao suddenly smiled and said to him: "I'm pregnant, but it's not yours."
Shao Jingmo stared at her with deep pupils.
Qiao Qiao was not afraid of his eyes and said loudly: "Today I officially took over the Deep Blue Group. The whole world is celebrating. It's a great joy, so I made a child myself to celebrate."
Shao Jingmo's eyes moved downward and stayed on her flat belly.
The way he looked at her belly made her feel a little uncomfortable: "We are just divorced and we are not enemies. I just want to say a few more words. It's because you are too indifferent to me."
Shao Jingmo's expression changed a little: "Don't make this kind of joke again."
Qiao Qiao was rebellious by nature, especially after hearing his words, she felt very unconvinced: "We are divorced, why do you care what I am joking about?"
Shao Jingmo ignored her dissatisfaction, returned to his original seat, pulled out the chair and sat down: "Don't you still have something to say? Go ahead, I'm in a hurry, Lulu is waiting for me to go back."
"You guys have a good relationship." Qiao Qiao also sat down again.
Shao Jingmo's tone was a little softer: "Of course."
Qiao Qiao couldn't see his double-standard attitude, so she was cold to her. When Wen Lu was mentioned, not only did her face soften, but her tone became so gentle.
She called him by her first and last name: "Shao Jingmo, you don't always deliberately make me unhappy. In fact, I don't care as much as you think. It's only been a few months. Do you think I love you so much? It's just for fun.
"
For the first time, she discovered that falling in love and killing each other was an appropriate way to describe her and Shao Jingmo.
After saying that, she did not forget to give Shao Jingmo a somewhat provocative look, which conveyed the meaning: no more concessions.
Shao Jingmo didn't care about her provocation: "You're right, it's just for fun, so you forcefully leave what I want to say, these are the words?"
Qiao Qiao raised a playful smile on her lips: "Yes, I'm insulting you."
Shao Jingmo's eyes remained calm: "Is there any more? You can insult enough in one go, but you won't have such an opportunity in the future."
The smile on Qiao Qiao's lips faded: "Shao Jingmo..."
Shao Jingmo: "Huh?"
Qiao Qiao stood up slowly, put her hands on the table, and leaned forward to look at him: "Can you make another choice?"
Shao Jingmo asked her: "What choice? For example?"
Qiao Qiao said word by word: "Choose me firmly."
Shao Jingmo suddenly laughed: "Is this also a new way for you to insult me?"
Qiao Qiao took a breath and sat down again: "Yes, it's a pity that you didn't fall for it."
Her expression was full of loneliness, and it was impossible for Shao Jingmo to not see it, but he chose to ignore it, or didn't care.
Qiao Qiao quickly adjusted her emotions, and when she raised her eyes to look at him again, her eyes were clear: "I have nothing to say, uncle, you can go."
Shao Jingmo stared at her for a moment, then stood up: "Take care of yourself."
Qiao Qiao nodded.
Shao Jingmo turned and left.
Qiao Qiao sat motionless. When she saw his figure getting further and further away and about to disappear from her eyes, she suddenly said: "If it were me, I would firmly choose you."
I don’t know if Shao Jingmo heard her words.
The door was empty, and his figure was no longer visible.
-
night.
Qiao Qiao returned home.
She just took office today, and being busy is inevitable. She has been busy since she returned to the company after personally sending her grandfather back to Qiao's house in the morning.
Dou Ying and Song Yun became her right and left deputies, assisting her in everything she had to do after taking this position.
Even though she was very tired when she got home, she would still forcefully put on a mask and be a good daughter in front of Father Qiao and Mother Qiao.
As she stepped into the foyer, a clear voice came -
"Sister Qiao Qiao."
Qiao Qiao raised her eyes and looked in the direction where the sound came from. Lin Xingruo was running towards her.
"Sister Qiao Qiao, congratulations." Lin Xingruo hugged Qiao Qiao and congratulated her sincerely.
Qiao Qiao remained motionless and let Lin Xingruo hug her for a while before saying, "Thank you."
Lin Xingruo let go of Qiao Qiao and asked her with a smile on his face: "I just took office today, how do you feel? Is it hard to be the president?"
Qiao Qiao replied: "It's okay."
"Looking at how tired you are, I don't believe what you said." Lin Xingruo took the initiative to hold Qiao Qiao's arm, and the two of them walked in together.
Qiao Qiao asked her: "When did you arrive?"
Lin Xingruo: "My uncle came to pick me up around five o'clock. Didn't I send you a WeChat message?"
Qiao Qiao took out her mobile phone: "Really? I was too busy and didn't pay attention."
Lin Xingruo pouted: "Then I'll forgive you reluctantly."
Qiao Qiao put her phone back into her bag again. She turned to look at Lin Xingruo. Although her tone was unpleasant, her face was so bright and full of vitality that she seemed to see herself before.
She was so heartless and carefree before.
Lin Xingruo noticed that Qiao Qiao was looking at her, turned around and said: "Actually, I know that you have never liked me very much. This time you took the initiative to call me to Xingzhou. I think it was more than just wanting me to envy you.
You must have other things to do about the Qiao family's business. Anyway, you are successful now. I will fawn over you from now on. If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Qiao Qiao opened her mouth and was about to say something when her mother Qiao came over: "彽彽, Xingruo, it's time to eat."
Qiao Qiao responded: "I know."
Lin Xingruo raised her voice: "Auntie is here."
The atmosphere at the dinner table tonight was very good, Lin Xingruo talked a little more, and Qiao Qiao's condition was almost visibly improving.
Mother Qiao was very happy, and Father Qiao was also very happy. Only Mr. Qiao never looked happy.
Especially when Lin Xingruo accidentally asked during the meal: "Will my uncle come back to stay in the future?"
Regarding Shao Jingmo's move, Lin Xingruo learned something about it from Qiao's mother in the afternoon.
She didn't know the details, so she asked suddenly at the dinner table.
Mr. Qiao looked at Qiao Qiao, waiting for her to answer.
The smile on Qiao Qiao's face faded a little and she replied: "I won't move back."
Lin Xingruo observed everyone's faces and realized that he shouldn't ask this question. After Qiao Qiao answered her, he knew it was interesting and didn't ask again.
After dinner.
Qiao Qiao called Lin Xingruo to her room. She locked the door and took Lin Xingruo to sit on the terrace.
Lin Xingruo held a plate of fruit in his hand and asked Qiao Qiao in a loud voice: "What on earth do you want to tell me? When my aunt came over just now, you stopped talking, which made me feel itchy even while eating."
Qiao Qiao sat down on the chair next to Lin Xingruo: "Actually, it's nothing."
Lin Xingruo ate a piece of apple, his cheeks bulged, and he said without knowing it: "It's impossible."
Qiao Qiao looked at the night in the distance and said in a very soft voice: "Xingruo, what I mean is that if, if one day I suddenly disappear and no one can find me, will you take care of grandpa and my parents on my behalf?"
?”
Lin Xingruo's cheek movements slowly stopped, and he looked at Qiao Qiao in disbelief: "Cousin, what did you say?"
Qiao Qiao turned her head: "I'm just saying that if it's not true, why are you so nervous?"
Lin Xingruo's face was serious: "Don't come here, any normal person would say this for no reason."
Qiao Qiao suddenly sneered: "Why do you still take it seriously?"
Lin Xingruo put down the fruit plate, his expression still serious: "You'd better explain clearly what happened."
The careless smile on Qiao Qiao's face disappeared. She lowered her eyes and said softly: "When I love someone, I will unswervingly choose him, life or death."
Lin Xingruo looked confused: "What do you mean?"
Qiao Qiao took a piece of apple from the fruit plate in front of Lin Xingruo, took a bite, and said: "If one day I am really no longer here, I hope you can take good care of my parents and grandpa for me."
"You're crazy! Qiao Qiao, how could you say such crazy things!" Lin Xingruo was so anxious that he stood up.
Qiao Qiao raised her eyes: "Sit down."
Lin Xingruo's expression was not very good: "You'd better explain clearly what's going on."
Qiao Qiao shook her head: "I can't explain clearly. I only know what to do next. Also, I hope you keep these words I say to you tonight in your heart."
Lin Xingruo sat down slowly and asked attentively: "Are you going somewhere?"
Qiao Qiao turned her head, and the night wind ruffled her bangs. She raised her hands to tuck them behind her ears: "On my birthday, a mail ship will sail to the high seas."
Bai Chen said that Shao Jingmo and the Bai family would be on that ship that day.
