After returning home, Qin Muzhe finished the meal with Guaiguai, completed her homework with her, and put her to sleep. Then she returned to the study and continued working.
Ever since he heard Butler Xu say something was wrong with Guaiguai that day, he began to pay attention to his daughter's every move. Even if he was busy at work, he would take time to come back every night to have a meal with her and talk. He didn't want Guaiguai because he didn't
He lost his mother and became weird.
But even though he tried so hard, he still felt the difference in his daughter.
For example, I have become less talkative; I seem to have lost interest in the chocolate cake I used to love; I seem to prefer being alone to group activities...
In the study room, Qin Mujie looked at the documents at hand casually. It seemed that after this period of busy time, he should find an opportunity to take her out to relax.
At this moment, a phone call came and it was Nie Sheng.
"Master Mu." His voice was a little hasty: "The photo of you and Miss Qiao has been posted."
He held the pen and said, "I know."
"I really can't figure it out..." Nie Sheng asked: "Why didn't you let reporters take pictures of Miss Qiao's face? In Disheng's current situation, once the outside world knows that you are with the daughter of Ruihua Real Estate,
perhaps……."
Of course he understands this. Now that Di Sheng is in such a precarious situation, how many people are watching indifferently from behind, waiting to add insult to injury. Once they know that he has a close relationship with Qiao Rao Rao, Di Sheng's situation will turn around immediately.
Many companies, companies, and banks that had previously ignored me may now be asking for help.
He didn't know why he did this at that time. Maybe it was just an instinct. He didn't want to take advantage of her.
********* *********
It was only when his car appeared at the gate of Di Sheng early the next morning and countless reporters rushed up to him that he realized that things seemed to be out of his control.
When he got out of the car, the crowds of people made him feel a little unhappy.
From time to time, reporters handed over microphones and asked: "Mr. Qin, it is said that someone saw you shopping with Qiao Raorao, the daughter of Chairman Qiao Guanli of Ruihua Real Estate, a few days ago. Is this true?"
"No." Denial is the best public relations word for such a baseless thing.
"I heard that Disheng's situation has been in a downturn recently, with the stock price plummeting continuously, and you have been very close to Chairman Qiao recently. Do you have any plans to cooperate with Ruihua and rely on Ruihua's power to get through the downturn..."
"Sorry, this is company private, I have no comment..."
"Mr. Qin." Another reporter came forward: "Regarding the hug photo in yesterday's newspaper, Miss Qiao Raoruo has personally admitted that the person in the photo is her. Is there anything you want to say?"
"What?" He paused and frowned. Has Qiao Raoruo admitted about the photo?
At this time, Nie Sheng came over with his bodyguards and intercepted the waves of reporters. Qin Mukai took advantage of this gap and was able to escape back to the office.
In the office, Qin Muzhen looked at the latest issue of Business and Entertainment Weekly and seemed to have a headache. Qiao Raoruo actually admitted that she was the one hugging him that day?
Nie Sheng said: "Master Mu, in fact, Miss Qiao is not to blame for this incident. You should also know how powerful those gossip reporters are. They just started from the sapphire ring worn on the index finger of Miss Qiao's right hand and followed the clues.
.Only found out that this ring is exactly the same as the ring that Qiao Guanli bought at an auction in Europe a year ago. Apart from Miss Qiao, no one else in city A has it. In this case, she had to admit
Already."
"I understand." Qin Mujie leaned back on his chair: "You go down first."
"yes."
Qin Muzhen thought about it again and again and decided that he should call Qiao Guanli. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took out his mobile phone, Qiao Guanli's call came.
"Mr. Qin..." He said straight to the point: "I want to talk to you."
"Chairman Qiao, please tell me a place."
"It's the same restaurant as last time, the same private room. I'll wait for you there."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Muzhen picked up his coat. He was not sure why Qiao Guanli was looking for him, but he must be very angry when he thought about it. He had just rejected his daughter in front of him a few days ago, and today he and his daughter
Photos of people hugging each other in the street began to circulate. I was afraid that he would think of himself as a scoundrel who didn't want to take responsibility and just wanted to have fun.
********* *********
Following his memory from last time, he quickly found the restaurant Qiao Guanli mentioned. There were two bodyguards standing at the door of the restaurant, and there were no customers inside. Apparently Qiao Guanli had booked the entire restaurant, and he just didn't want to be
People disturb.
The waiter took him to the box. Qin Muzhen opened the door and unexpectedly saw Qiao Guanli, who was sitting as the chief. He put one hand on the table with a smile on his face, which was somewhat kind. But the muscle lines under it were...
Very tight.
He pointed to the seat opposite: "Mr. Qin, please sit down."
As soon as Qin Muxie sat down, he threw a newspaper over: "Mr. Qin, can I ask you to explain?"
It was what he had just seen this morning...
Qiao Guanli said: "I don't know why this kind of photo was circulated, but it did have a great impact on our Qiao family. Rao Rao has been pressed hard by reporters in the past two days because of the photo." He
After a pause: "Can I ask, what is Mr. Qin's attitude towards Rao Rao?"
"Do you really like her, or do you just want to have fun, or do you want to use her status as the only daughter of the Qiao family to develop your imperial ascension?"
"I'm sorry." Qin Muzhen said, "I personally don't want such photos to be circulated. I'm sorry if it hurts Rao Rao."
Qiao Guanli waited quietly for his words.
"What happened that day was just an accident. I never thought of taking advantage of Rao Rao, let alone playing with her..."
"Does that mean you like her?" Qiao Guanli said: "If it's neither taking advantage of her nor playing for fun, how could she hug her in the street without being able to help herself?"
"I..." Qin Muzhen was about to say, when the door of the box suddenly opened and a girl walked in angrily.
"Daddy! I knew you were here to find Mu Zhen!" It was Qiao Raoruo who spoke.
The two bodyguards standing at the door lowered their heads because they had neglected their duty: "I'm sorry, Chairman Qiao, it's the young lady who forced her way in..."
"I know, you go down." Qiao Guanli stood up and his tone softened obviously: "Why are you here?"
