Where Qin Zhen couldn't see, Qiu Bailu slowly closed her eyes, her voice was calm and firm, and cruel without hesitation. "I only regard you as my best friend, don't misunderstand me.
If I did something that misunderstood you, please forgive me. I won't do it again. Qin Zhen, please let me go. I feel very uncomfortable with you like this."
The warm chest behind her instantly became stiff and cold. Qiu Bailu tried her best to break out of Qin Zhen's arms. She didn't even dare to look back and hurriedly took a few steps forward. Qin Zhen grabbed her
Pulled her back again.
"Xiao Bai, no, this is not what you mean! You are hiding something from me! Tell me!" Qin Zhen was resolute. When Qiu Bailu said those words, he felt like he had been stabbed, but for a moment
After the pain, he immediately realized something was wrong.
If anyone else had said these words, Qin Zhen would not have questioned them, but he knew Qiu Bailu's character very well, and she would never say such hurtful words easily.
Qiu Bailu was held by him and couldn't move. She couldn't express the pain in her heart. Qin Zhen thought she didn't want to face him and said, "I don't know why you said that, but I know that it is never your truth."
.Xiaobai, I won’t force you to give me an answer now, but you have to promise me to think about it carefully. If you really think that we are not suitable, you have to give me a convincing reason. I...I
I’ll see you again next week.”
Qin Zhen left as if fleeing, as if he was afraid that if he stayed any longer, Qiu Bailu would say something unacceptable.
Qiu Bailu did not move. She stood there and raised her head. The sky was filled with clouds, making the whole sky look particularly hazy. The cold wind blew by, and her long hair fluttered in the wind. A biting chill immediately spread throughout her body.
The week passed quickly.
During this week, Qin Zhen did not return to the small house that he and Qiu Bailu rented together. Qiu Bailu stood on the balcony waiting for him every day, but no one was seen, and a layer of dust fell on the always shiny racing car.
A week passed, and Qin Zhen still didn't show up.
Qiu Bailu received a courier and opened the envelope. There was only a card with an address written on it.
Qiu Bailu recognized the handwriting on the envelope as Qin Zhen's, so she took the address and looked for it.
The place she found was an office that had been 80% renovated in an office building located in Binhai New Economic Zone. When Qiu Bailu passed by, she happened to meet the decoration workers doing the finishing work. The man who looked like a foreman saw her coming in and immediately became familiar with her.
Saying hello.
"Miss Qiu? Mr. Qin said you will come over soon." He enthusiastically led Qiu Bailu in.
The office area is about 200 square meters. It has been divided into office areas, conference rooms, utility rooms and other areas. However, only the most basic partitions have been made. The real decoration work has not started inside, and it seems that there is no
Made detailed designs.
"Qin Zhen...where is he?" Qiu Bailu followed the foreman around the office, her mind becoming increasingly confused.
The foreman grinned with white teeth and said, "I don't know about this. I just listened to what Mr. Qin said and brought someone to tidy up this place first. Miss Qiu, come and take a look. This is the drawing of the office. Mr. Qin said that you are doing design.
Master, this is your own company. Do you plan to design it yourself? Take the drawings back and look at them. Now, this is my phone number. When you have finished the design, let me know and I will bring the workers to do the work.
.”
"Wait a minute, my company?" Qiu Bai was confused.
The foreman continued with a smile, "Yes, Mr. Qin said that you want to open a design company. You have paid rent for this place for five years, and the property fees and other expenses have been paid in advance. Hey, what a coincidence, people from the law firm are also here.
Already."
While he was talking, a man in a formal suit appeared at the door, and he was looking in.
Qiu Bailu followed Lawyer Xie from Zhongheng Law Firm to the teahouse as if she was in a dream. Lawyer Xie took out a bunch of documents from his briefcase and handed it to her, "The company has been registered. The name was decided by Mr. Qin. It's called Hong.
We have full authority to handle all legal matters. All Miss Qiu has to do is read these documents and sign your name."
rainbow.
Rainbow Bridge.
When she was young, Qin Zhen once told her that the rainbow is the bridge to your dreams. As long as you find it, you can get everything you want.
Qiu Bailu sat on the soft sofa in the teahouse, her eyes filled with mist rising from the tea cup in her hand.
Someone gave her a dream and then destroyed it with her own hands. Someone led her to find the bridge, but she wanted to push him into the abyss.
There is so much unfairness in this world: I don’t love those who love me, and those I love will never love me back.
After signing those things in a daze, Lawyer Xie smiled and congratulated Qiu Bailu and wished her a prosperous business. When Lawyer Xie left and the tea had gone cold, Qiu Bailu still sat there without moving until the waiter came and asked her what she wanted.
When she stopped to refill the water, she suddenly realized that this was not her dream, it was all real.
Opening a company is not an easy task. If Qiu Bailu had been left to do it by herself, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to do it so neatly next year. But Qin Zhen only took a week to handle it all. He took care of the most tedious tasks.
All the troublesome steps were taken care of for her, but his people didn't show up.
Qiu Bailu returned home, thought about it, and finally called Qin Zhen. She originally thought that if Qin Zhen left like this and never came back, although she would be sad, she would feel secretly relieved, because at least
He didn't have to face the cruelest words from her. But Qin Zhen's actions made her even more at a loss.
Qiu Bailu's heart tightened as the ring on the other end of the phone rang.
Qin Zhen is her best friend. He has never done anything to hurt her since she was a child. She doesn't want to lose him, but there is nothing she can do. She feels guilty for her cowardice and incompetence.
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered, but it was not Qin Zhen who answered the phone. A young girl's sweet voice came from the receiver, "Who are you? It's not convenient for Qin Zhiqin to answer the phone right now."
Qiu Bailu held the phone, her mind went blank. She was speechless for a long time and finally found her voice. "My name is Qiu Bailu..."
"Ah, Qiu Bailu, you are that Qiu Bailu." The girl's tone suddenly became weird after hearing Qiu Bailu's name, "Why are you calling him? Are you not... Hey, Qin Zhi
Qin, what are you doing out of bed?"
"Yu Jiaren! Who told you to answer my phone randomly!! Bastard!! Give me the phone back!"
"Ha, I won't, won't! Come and get it if you have the ability! Ah! I hate it! Let go of my skirt! Qin Zhiqin, you are shameless!"
There was chaos on the other side of the phone, and the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-ping seemed to have gone through a battle. When Qin Zhen's heavy breathing appeared on the phone receiver, Qiu Bailu felt that her heartbeat had stopped.
"Xiao Bai?!" Qin Zhen's voice was a little hoarse, as if someone had suddenly dug him out of the bed after sleeping for a long time, "Xiao Bai, it's me, Qin Zhen, are you looking for me?"
Qiu Bailu wanted to answer, but the words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't make a sound. Qin Zhen waited for a while, but when he didn't hear Qiu Bailu's answer, he immediately became nervous, "Xiaobai, you... why don't you speak?
?”
"I...it's okay...I received your gift, thank you Qin Zhen." Qiu Bailu wanted to ask Qin Zhen, where did you die, why didn't you come back for a week, and who was the girl who answered the phone? You two
What is the relationship?
But these words just rolled around in her mind. She was in no position to question Qin Zhen. Qin Zhen was not her.
Her distant thank you was also beyond Qin Zhen's expectations. Qin Zhen was slightly stunned, and then laughed at himself, "That's what you want to say to me? Apart from these polite words, do you have nothing else to ask me?"
Qiu Bailu remained silent.
Qin Zhen waited for a while and finally gave up, "Forget it, you have nothing to say, and I can't force you. I have something to do recently and can't go back. You...take care of yourself." He paused and continued, "
I hope you can think carefully about what I asked you. As for the company's affairs, I didn't want to use it as a condition or inducement. I just wanted to tell you that what Huo Dongheng can give you, I can give it to you, but he can't.
I can give you whatever you want! Xiaobai... take care of yourself."
"Okay...you too." Qiu Bailu responded vaguely and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Burying her face in her hands, Qiu Bailu wanted to cry but had no tears. She knew that if she continued like this, Qin Zhen would definitely hate her. But if losing her allowed him to have a happier life, then she would be fine no matter how painful it was.
Try not to cry.
In her life, she will reject many people and many things. She doesn't know which rejection will cause her to miss good opportunities, and which rejection will lead her to an unpredictable world. But what she knows is that rejecting Qin Zhen will be...
The hardest decision she ever made.
She was about to lose this boy who had been watching over her tenderly.
Time and work are the best medicine, which can make people forget any sadness. Qiu Bailu devoted all her energy into the design of the new company. God seemed to intend to take care of her little heart hurt by love, and gave her continuous blessings.
She had many surprises.
The work she sent to the design competition was among the top ten in the preliminary round and entered the second round.
Qiu Bailu received an invitation from the design competition organizing committee, inviting her to attend a luncheon hosted by the organizer. This competition is of great significance to Qiu Bailu. If she can get a good ranking, it will be good for her future career in the company.
Business will play a role in fueling the flames. With the future of the company in mind, Qiu Bailu dressed up and participated even though she disliked this type of business activities very much.
This competition was organized by the Domestic Architects Association, and many leading figures in the industry were present. Qiu Bailu saw many familiar faces at the luncheon, and of course, many people recognized her.
