The other party was wearing a baseball cap and a huge black mirror that covered half of his face. When he saw Qiu Bailu, she was startled and seemed about to scream. He immediately put a finger on her lips and said, "Don't
Call, it’s me, follow me.”
Qiu Bailu followed the man out of the company and got into a taxi. After the car drove half a mile, Cheng Yuanying took off his baseball cap. The hairline on his forehead was soaked with sweat. He put the hat aside and looked at his long hair.
He let out a long breath and said, "Your old lover is going to kill me."
"You said this was Luo Yan's doing? What did he do?" Qiu Bailu didn't expect Luo Yan's hands to stretch out so long. It wasn't enough to just punish himself, but Cheng Yuanying also took care of him.
"He asked the industrial and commercial administration to check our accounts. I don't know who he bribed to dig out some old bad debts from the past. The bank deposits were frozen and the company couldn't get out a penny. What you just saw at the door was...
He was a supplier. He took other people's goods but couldn't give them money, so they smashed the door." Cheng Yuanying smiled bitterly, "Fortunately, I was talking to people outside at that time, not in the company, otherwise,
I'm just afraid they will eat me up."
Qiu Bailu was speechless for a long time, "I'm sorry...for causing you to suffer..."
"It's nothing to get involved. I'm just a little surprised that he cares about you so much." Cheng Yuanying smiled. "I also have some acquaintances above me, but this time there wasn't even a warning... Xiaolu, you, an old lover, are very clever.
.”
Which company doesn't have some bad debts? They usually turn a blind eye and don't pay much attention when auditing the accounts. Luo Yan struck too quickly and too harshly this time, which is why Cheng Yuanying was caught off guard.
"Then your company..."
"Don't think too much, my company is fine, we can still withstand this little trouble. Just check it up and down and it will be over." Cheng Yuanying waved his hand nonchalantly, "The money in the bank cannot be held forever, it just feels like
Suddenly someone stabbed me...it hurt...and was a bit nauseating."
Cheng Yuanying and Luo Yan didn't have any feelings, and because of Qiu Bailu, someone set them up, so he should feel unhappy.
"Is there anything I can do?" Qiu Bailu felt very apologetic.
Cheng Yuanying shook his head, "You'd better take care of your business first. If I guessed correctly, Luo Yan will definitely attack you too." Seeing Qiu Bai's face solemn and silent, he knew that his guess was not too far off.
"He is a bit evil. When he showed kindness to you, I felt something was wrong, but it is better to have someone treat you well than someone to treat you badly, so I didn't say anything. Now it seems that he
The purpose is not pure. You should take care of yourself first. He only dealt with me because I was an eyesore to him. The final target is still you. Tsk, Xiaolu, how on earth did you recruit this person and let him be so fond of you?
Heart?"
"I'd rather he didn't pay attention to me."
Qiu Bailu really didn't want to tell Cheng Yuanying what had happened. It was a lifelong shame for her. Telling it once would be like peeling off a layer of her skin.
"Take it one step at a time. If it doesn't work, don't do the business anymore. Let's elope." Cheng Yuanying stretched out his arms as if to put his arm around Qiu Bailu. Qiu Bailu opened his hand and he chuckled.
A look of impropriety.
Qiu Bailu would definitely not believe such crazy words. She couldn't leave, and Cheng Yuanying couldn't leave either.
There are more than a dozen people in the company who depend on her for a living, and she must be responsible for them. Besides, there is no reason for the daughter of the Qiu family to run away without a fight. She can lose, but she can never run away!
After another two months, business became increasingly difficult, not a single order was received, and customers who had signed orders before broke off their contracts one after another as if they were afraid of the plague. Qiu Bailu looked at the idle colleagues in the office,
I felt very uncomfortable.
Things developed in an unpredictable direction. Luo Yan didn't show up, and he didn't even say a word. But Qiu Bailu felt like her body was like an ant pinned under his fingers, and was about to be pinned to death by him.
This is the difference in strength. He doesn't need to speak, he only uses actions, just like she proves everything.
All companies related to her shunned her.
Even when she attended business events, no one dared to invite her to dance. Qiu Bailu was dressed in gorgeous clothes, but she felt like she was walking at night. She seemed to have become a transparent person, and everyone turned a blind eye to her. They were watching her
Not far away, she pointed and whispered rumors in a lowered voice, stabbing her naked back like a hidden arrow.
She felt cold, and the heat obtained by wrapping her hands around herself could not warm her up. She had to replenish herself with some energy, otherwise she didn't know if she could continue to stand under the unkind eyes of these people.
.
Qiu Bailu walked quickly to the stage and said, "Give me a cup of mintjulep."
The bartender was busy behind the stage, the amber wine in his hand flowing between various vessels. When Qiu Bailu saw herself in the silver mirror, she suddenly thought of Luo Yan and the cup he prepared for her behind the stage.
Liquor, what is it called?
The speed at which women forget is really astonishing. As long as it is something they don't care about, it seems that in just an instant, they can forget it all.
What a heartless animal.
Qiu Bailu didn't know what she thought of, and the corners of her mouth curved into a seductive arc. Huo Dongheng was chatting with someone when he suddenly caught a glimpse of her sitting alone in front of the stage, with her long white skirt lingering on the ground. She looked like an injured animal.
The white crane has a smile on its face, but it makes people feel sour in their hearts.
He forgot what he was going to say, and could only keep his eyes on her, until his friend touched his arm lightly, and he apologized with a smile as if he suddenly understood.
After sending the person away with a few words, he came to Qiu Bailu's side.
The taste of mint neutralized the bitterness of the whiskey, but the alcohol concentration did not change at all. He had already drank two glasses of Qiu Bailu, and his cheeks were stained as red as cherry blossoms.
"One more glass." The more she drank, the warmer the wine became, and the more she drank the water, the colder it became. After drinking two glasses in a row, she felt that her body was getting warmer, and there was a ball of fire in her lower abdomen, which made her feel warm.
"Stop drinking, Xiaolu, you're drunk." The hand holding the square cup was held down. Qiu Bailu raised her hazy drunken eyes. Huo Dongheng looked a little strange. His face sometimes split into two, and sometimes
Gathered together again.
Qiu Bailu squinted her eyes and recognized them carefully for a while. At this time, her head had been burned into a ball of paste by the alcohol. Even an old acquaintance like Huo Dongheng could not be recognized by her for a while.
"Oh, it's you. Are you here too? Sit down and have a drink together." Qiu Bailu said with drunken eyes, pulling Huo Dongheng's arm and forcing him to sit next to her.
When Huo Dongheng sat down, she leaned against him limply, staring blankly at a certain point on the stage.
Huo Dongheng's body was stiff for a moment, like a stone, unable to move. But soon, he was warmed by the warmth from her body. He hesitated for a moment, and when he was sure that she was indeed drunk and couldn't tell north from south,
Then he stretched out his arms and took her over.
"Why do you drink so much? Are you in a bad mood?"
He had already heard about what happened at Qiu Bailu Company. What Luo Yan wanted would never come true. He had plenty of time and money to spend with her until the tiny thorns on her body were smoothed, rounded, and polished into what he wanted.
desired shape.
Qiu Bailu didn't seem to hear what he said. She looked straight at the bartender, "He looks familiar... I seem to have seen him somewhere... Have you ever drank the wine that James Bond drank? I... I have."
...Have I ever told you...that stuff tastes terrible...because you made it yourself, that's why I didn't vomit..."
She said something confusing that Huo Dongheng couldn't understand. It's hard to describe the feeling in Huo Dongheng's heart. Since when did she break away from his life, what she experienced has nothing to do with her anymore. Even what she said, he
Neither can understand it.
Everyone said that Qiu Bailu was gentle and had the best temper, but he knew that that was just part of her character. They had never seen her toughness before.
She lets go when she says, she is more decisive than anyone else, she will not be sloppy in matters she has made up her mind to, and when she calms down, she makes all these men feel ashamed.
"Why am I so unlucky... One or two of them are not good for me... Do you think I should go to the temple to burn incense... eh?"
"If God has love, God will also grow old. Buddha will not care about your bad things." Huo Dongheng sneered at her suggestion. He wanted to drag her up, but Qiu Bailu's current appearance was really annoying, so he didn't
He likes her decadent look, which makes him feel very strange.
Qiu Bailu refused. The more Huo Dongheng pulled her, the further her body slid down, "What do they care about? At the worst, I can pay more for sesame oil..."
"Qiu Bailu, you really drank too much. You can be so confident about bribing the Buddha with money." Huo Dongheng struggled with her, and finally pulled her up to look at him levelly, "Stop making trouble and go back with me."
"You? Who are you? Let me take a closer look...oh...it turns out to be you..." Qiu Bailu said in a long voice, "What do you want to do when you take me back? No, who should you say you want to do?"
Men are all the same. One after another, they all want to take advantage of me... You see I have no family and no one to support me? Let me tell you, my parents are gone, but that doesn’t mean I have to
Relying on you...bastards..."
As she said this, she stood up and tried to break away from Huo Dongheng's arm. Huo Dongheng had no choice but to hug her tightly from behind. He was afraid that she would become more violent and he whispered in her ear with a smile, "Yes, I'm a bastard.
But who made you fall in love with me, a bastard? If you fall in love with a bastard, who are you? "
Qiu Bailu's mind was already in a mess. She couldn't figure out the logical relationship in Huo Dongheng's words. She just looked at him with a silly smile, as if he said something particularly funny.
She smiled so innocently that no matter how hard her heart was, it became soft around her fingers.
