Early the next morning, when Qin Nan was waiting for the bus at the bus stop as usual, a Mercedes-Benz suddenly stopped in front of her. She took a closer look and saw that it was the family car. Qin Nan didn't want to get in the car, but the car stopped.
At the bus station, if he didn't drive away, it would affect the bus's arrival, so Qin Nan had no choice but to open the door and get on the bus.
"Didn't I say you won't be allowed to take the bus?" Qin Bei, wearing a sports T-shirt, said as he drove away from the bus stop.
"It's very unethical for you to park your car here." Qin Nan felt that bad habits must be spoken out, no matter who the other party is.
"I apologize for this." Qin Bei glanced at her and said lightly.
"If you don't let me take the bus, are you going to make me walk to school all day?" Qin Nan tried to reason with Qin Bei, but she thought this request was ridiculous.
Qin Bei pondered for a moment, "Okay, at least you are not allowed to ride within my sight. You don't care when I can't see you, but it's best not to let me see you." This was the biggest concession he could make.
Qin Nan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that freedom had returned to him. "If you drive me, how can dad get to work?" This is a real problem, and Qin Nan doesn't want to cause any inconvenience to his family because of himself.
"After sending you to school, I will come back and send him to work." Qin Bei said nonchalantly.
Qin Nan stuck out his tongue secretly, feeling that he was really flattered when his brother came back and his treatment was improved.
Originally planning to go to tutoring in the evening, Qin Nan has been delaying classes for others since he came back from Qinbei. Qin Nan decided to go there today. Who would have thought that as soon as he came out of the library in the evening, he saw the Mercedes-Benz and the car leaning lazily against it?
Qin Bei and Qin Nan were sitting in the car, feeling that she might have completely lost her freedom.
"Let's go." Qin Bei saw her straighten up and spit out two words.
"Where to go? I have something to do later..." Qin Nan decided to stick to it this time.
"Go to dinner, don't you have a tutor? Get in the car." After Qin Bei finished speaking, he looked at Qin Nan whose eyes were wide open in surprise. He secretly felt funny in his heart, turned around and opened the door and got in the car. Qin Nan was surprised and thought he would object.
Or he found an excuse to drag her home. Unexpectedly, she was here to pick him up for tutoring. After getting in the car, he looked at Qin Bei and hesitated to speak.
"What's the matter, just say it?" Qin Bei seemed to have a pair of eyes next to her, and her expression didn't let go at all.
"Well, can you keep it a secret for me? ...I mean to my parents, I don't want them to worry." Qin Nan finally said what he was worried about.
Qin Bei looked at her: "Afraid of worrying others, why do you still do it?" Qin Nan didn't say anything.
"I know." Qin Bei said as he started the car. Qin Nan breathed a sigh of relief, "But you have to be obedient." Qin Bei said.
From that day on, Qin Bei sent Qin Nan to school every morning, sent her to tutoring on time in the evening, and took her home two hours later. Qin Nan felt very sorry, and he was not used to having an extra driver out of thin air.
You have to accept the visual courtesy of the classmates around you. Although it is a holiday, there are still many people in the school who are not going home. Moreover, the start of school is approaching, and people are already returning to school one after another. There is a Mercedes Benz parked in front of the library every day. I don’t want to attract anyone’s attention.
Paying attention is hard.
Qin Nan gets into the car almost at the speed of light every day, and also guiltily checks to see if any acquaintances have seen her. She is worried that everyone will regard her as the kind of person who is being kept. After all, when night falls, there are many cars coming in on campus.
They all picked them up. Fortunately, autumn is about to enter, which means the start of school is approaching, so that I can go back to the dormitory openly and live without these worries.
As for Qin Bei, he worked until late at night every day after coming back, preparing lesson plans. At the same time, Qin Benru intended to hand over the company completely to him, regardless of his other work. He nominated him at the board of directors the day after he came back.
As CEO, what is annoying is that the board of directors voted unanimously, so Qin Bei is now the CEO of Qin's Industrial Group.
In the past, Qin Benru, the chairman of the board, had concurrently served as CEO. In recent years, as Qin Benru grew older, he became increasingly unable to do his job, and the modern corporate system increasingly tended to separate management rights and ownership, and it was necessary to find someone to replace Qin Benru to be responsible for the management of the company.
Management has always been a concern for Qin Benru.
He was worried about leaving it to others. He had considered Qin Nan, but Qin Nan University had not graduated yet. Even if he graduated, he would still need time to practice, so he kept holding on. Qin Bei's sudden return to China made him feel that he was facing
As soon as the light came on, all the problems seemed to be solved. It was perfect for a son to inherit his father's legacy. Otherwise, what else would he do to raise a son?
Who would have thought that this son would have found a job before returning to China, but how could he, Qin Benru, give in so easily? What kind of father would he be if he couldn't compete with his son?
In fact, Qin Bei is a very responsible and filial son. It is not easy to run a company, and it is something he is extremely reluctant to do. However, he understands that there is no suitable person who can take on this important task except himself. Everyone knows him.
After eight years in the United States, he obtained a doctorate in literature, but no one knew that he also obtained an MBA, which he deliberately concealed.
He has thought about letting Qin Nan take over his class in the future so that he can concentrate on being his professor, but the first step is to pave the way for her. After all, Qin's operation is not as good as it seems from the outside.
, that's why Qin Benru thought of marrying with the Wu family. This was a last resort. In short, he had to put in several times the effort to revive his family.
Xiaoqing comes several times a week. As long as she comes, Qin Nan feels uncomfortable and wants to start school early and escape from this place of right and wrong.
In fact, Qin Nan's life is very simple. She goes to the library to study during the day and reads online in her room at night. She has a plan in mind and is seizing the time to work hard. She will be a senior at the beginning of the school year. It is time to think about her future.
She made up her mind and would not change the direction easily. She was just a little worried that the Qin couple would object and that she would not be able to satisfy them. However, this was her own future after all, and Qin Nan felt that she should be selfish for a while.
Already.
When the whole family gathered together for dinner the night before school started, Qin Nan finally said, "Dad, Mom, I plan to go back to the dormitory when school starts."
"You are a senior at the beginning of school. You don't have any classes, right?" Yuan Jingshu spoke first. Qin Bei, who was eating, looked up at Qin Nan and said nothing.
"Well, half of last semester was an off-campus internship." Qin Nan was not prepared to hide it.
"Then why don't you just go to Qin's for an internship? Where else would you live?" To be honest, Yuan Jingshu is a little afraid of loneliness. Although Qin Bei currently lives at home, he leaves early and comes back late, so it is difficult to see him in person.
"I'm about to graduate. There are a lot of things at school. Living at home, I'm afraid I'll miss a lot of information." Qin Nan was thinking of a reason to convince them to let him go out to live.
"Just let her go back to school to live. There is not much time left in school, and there will be no chance for her to live there in the future." Qin Bei suddenly intervened and said calmly.
"That's it. Your mother and I feel that the school conditions are not good and we have wronged you. In this case, let's go back. However, I have to go home on the weekend." Qin Benru came to the conclusion. Qin Nan breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, dad.
Mom." After saying that, she looked at Qin Bei gratefully. She expected to meet his eyes, but he was expressionless and ignored her. He continued to eat with his head down, as if he had something on his mind.
After dinner, Qin Nan hid in his room as usual, but couldn't do anything. From time to time, he thought of Qin Bei's expression at the dinner table. He could go back to school tomorrow, and he wouldn't have to be his driver anymore despite his busy schedule every day. Xiao Xiao
Qing could go upstairs without any worries. Going by himself would actually bring him a lot of convenience, but thinking about his expression, thinking about how he was busy until late at night with the lights still on, and thinking that he might have been there for several days.
Even when he couldn't see him, Qin Nan was still a little depressed.
Walking to the window, the stars were shining arrogantly. There was not even a cloud in the early autumn night in the north. Who could I turn to for my worries? Gritting my teeth, I picked up a few original books borrowed from him and walked to his room.
After standing at the door for a while, he finally made up his mind and knocked on the door, "Come in." Qin Nan pushed the door open and went in.
Qin Bei was busy in front of the computer, moving his fingers quickly on the keyboard with a very focused expression. Qin Nan's arrival did not divert his attention. He didn't even look at her, as if she was nothing.
Qin Nan stood there, feeling a little hurt, but he still told himself in his heart that he might be busy now and he came at the wrong time, so he tiptoed to the bookcase, put the books in his hand one by one, and added them smoothly.
After tidying up the bookcase, he looked at Qin Bei. He was still busy with his own work. He turned around and walked toward the door. When he reached the door, Qin Bei opened his mouth and said, "Wait a moment."
His hands and eyes still didn't leave the keyboard. Qin Nan was startled for a moment, turned around and stood there for a while. Qin Bei was still busy, and he didn't want to stay or leave, so he went back to the bookcase and pulled out a book.
Stand there and read.
"What do you want from me?" I don't know how long it took, but Qin Bei finally said the second sentence. Qin Nan felt that his legs were stiff. "Oh, it's nothing. I just came to return your book." Qin Nan put the book in his hand.
Put it back in place, turned around and looked at Qin Bei, pointing at the bookcase and saying. Qin Bei stood up from the big armchair, stretched hard, leaned on the desk, and lit a cigarette.
When the smoke rings rose, Qin Nan saw Qin Bei's eyes behind the smoke, which were deep and misty.
She frowned. The brother in her memory could not smoke. The brother in front of her had subverted his image in her mind. If Qin Bei was an innocent boy before, this one could be considered a mature man now.
, Qin Nan ignored one thing, and that was how much eight years could change a person.
"I don't remember you smoking." Qin Nan wasn't used to the smell of cigarettes in the room. "Oh, I've been a little tired lately. I don't usually smoke." Qin Bei's voice was a little hoarse. He didn't know if it was the effect of the cigarette.
Sexy. Qin Nan couldn't help coughing twice, and Qin Bei put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray.
"If I remember correctly, this is the first time you have taken the initiative to find me." Qin Bei crossed his arms and stared at Qin Nan.
"Oh, I'm here to thank you, thank you for your book, and..."
"What else?" Qin Bei's eyes were as bright as fire.
"And you pick me up and drop me off every day, and the kind words you said for me tonight." Qin Nan felt that he must express his gratitude. This is the minimum courtesy.
"That's all? I thought you didn't like me picking you up." There was no emotion in Qin Bei's voice.
"No, it's because I don't want you to work too hard. Please take care of your health in the future." Qin Nan's voice was very low in the last sentence. She noticed that Qin Bei had become thinner recently and the outline of his face became clearer.
The corners of Qin Bei's mouth moved slightly, "I thought you were avoiding me on purpose."
"You think so?" Qin Nan had to look at him. She couldn't ignore these words. Maybe what he said was right.
"Is not it?"
"Then why did you speak for me today?" Qin Nan didn't want to explain, because she didn't know if there was such a reason as he mentioned.
"I'm tired." Qin Bei walked to the big bed and threw his body on the bed, ignoring Qin Nan's face that turned red because of his actions.
"Then you can rest, I'm leaving." It was the first time for a man to lie on the bed in front of him. Qin Nan was about to leave after saying this.
"Nan, just do whatever you want to do now." Qin Bei seemed to be talking to himself while lying on the bed. He actually called her "Nan". Qin Nan hesitated to confirm whether he was talking to her and stood with his back to him.
There was no movement at the door.
"Don't be afraid of anything, I'm here." Qin Bei said softly. Qin Nan didn't look back and walked quickly back to his room. The moment the door was closed from behind, he burst into tears.
