Episode 2 'Threads Penetrate'—I want to see her eyes again
Chapter 440
early morning.
Sunlight pours into the room.
The man on the bed groaned, turned over, and slowly opened his sleepy eyes.
The faint scent of grass from the garden flows into the room through the window, and the air is so fresh.
Qiao Si, who was wearing a white suspender nightgown, stood up, looked at the sunshine outside, and stretched out comfortably.
Suddenly realizing something, she immediately picked up the alarm clock on the bedside table and looked at it. She was startled and jumped off the bed quickly.
After getting acquainted, she hurriedly rushed out of the room and came to the first floor before she had time to change out of her pajamas.
Rachel has already had breakfast, and her mother is carrying her schoolbag for her at the moment.
"sweetheart……"
Qiao Si called out, Rachel turned around and smiled, "Mommy..."
Qiao Si ran to her daughter and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, sweetheart, just wait for Mommy. Mommy will go change clothes and then send you to kindergarten..."
Rachel shook her head, stretched out her arms and hugged Qiao Si, "No, Mommy, I asked Grandma Pa to set your alarm clock. I know you work very hard every day, and I want you to sleep a little longer."
Qiao Si said seriously, "No, Mommy promised to send you to kindergarten in person today..."
"But I want Mommy to sleep a little longer. Mommy works so hard every day."
The child's words warmed Qiao Si's heart.
Qiao Si hugged Rachel tightly and spat out sourly, "Mommy promises you that when the company goes public, Mommy will definitely spend more time with you."
Rachel nodded happily and kissed Qiao Si on the cheek.
Qiao Si also kissed Rachel and said lovingly, "Mommy will definitely do what she promised you."
Rachel waved to Qiao Si, "Mommy, go get some sleep...I'm going to the kindergarten."
There were tears in Qiao Si's eyes, "Go!"
…
Back on the second floor, Qiao Si changed her clothes.
This year, I have always worn a white shirt with a black skirt.
The simplest OL outfit, but less feminine and more tough.
She rarely looked in the mirror this year, but today, she stood in front of the mirror and took a look at herself.
In one year, it seems that the tenderness and youthfulness in her body have faded away...
Nowadays, she exudes the aura of a mature woman all over her body, and the strength in her every frown and smile makes people unable to associate her with her a year ago.
She stood in front of the mirror for a while, then walked out of the room.
…
Carrying the briefcase to the first floor, vague noises reached her ears.
It was my mother who was scolding a servant.
Mom: "I told you not to put these newspapers together with magazines. Miss doesn't like to read newspapers, only magazines. Didn't you hear what I told you?"
The young maid was scolded so hard that she lowered her head, and a mosquito-like voice came out, "I'm sorry, Mom, I'm new here, I forgot..."
Mom said seriously, "If you make such a mistake again in the future, don't work in Qiao's family again."
"yes."
Mom angrily turned around to walk to the restaurant, but didn't want to see Qiao Si who had just come downstairs.
Mom was stunned for a moment and called respectfully, "Miss."
The young maid also lowered her head and called out, "Miss."
Qiao Si walked up to her mother and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
The newspaper in Mom's hand couldn't help but shrink back at this moment, her voice stuttered, "No...it's okay..."
Qiao Si noticed the newspaper in her mother's hand, frowned slightly and said, "Didn't you say that the post office moved, so no one delivered the newspaper? Why is there a newspaper today?"
Mom became nervous, "Uh...I..."
The young maid looked up at her mother in shock, expressing some confusion. The newspaper was delivered on time every day, but her mother always told them to put the newspaper away so that Qiao Si wouldn't see it. They thought it was Qiao Si.
I don’t like newspapers, but I don’t want my mother to take matters into her own hands.
Qiao Si walked up to her mother, her frown deepening, "What's wrong?"
Mom shook her head repeatedly.
Joss wondered, "Then why do you put the newspapers away every day?"
Mom looked at Qiao Si in embarrassment.
Qiao Si took the newspaper from her mother's hand. She just glanced at it casually, but her eyes were fixed on the newspaper for a second.
The CEO of "QCS" stayed overnight at the boudoir of a supermodel in New York, and seems to have a new love affair!
Qiao Si looked away calmly, only to see that her mother's face had turned white.
Qiao Si said calmly, "Don't force the servant to put away the newspaper. Sometimes I can also read the newspaper to pass the time."
The mother's voice was hoarse, "Miss, I... I just don't want you to see these news." Since the CEO behind "QCS" was exposed, there has been no end to gossip about him. News like this is published in newspapers almost every day.
.
Qiao Si smiled and said calmly, "Mom, the news in these newspapers has nothing to do with us, why should we care?"
Mom looked at Qiao Si blankly.
Qiao Si had already patted her mother gently, carried her briefcase and walked out of the villa with a smile.
Mom shouted, "Miss, you don't need breakfast?"
"No."

----------------------------------------------
At ten o'clock in the morning, a black Lexus business car stopped in front of a high-end private club.
The driver got out of the car first and opened the rear seat door.
Qiao Si got out of the car and looked up at the towering building.
Andy, who was holding a briefcase, stood beside Qiao Si and said, "Ms. Qiao, this place is so high-end!"
This is the most exclusive private club in New York. Even a person of Qiao Si's status cannot enter or leave here without the club's VIP card.
Qiao Si took the lead and said, "Let's go!"
…
As soon as we entered the club, there was a waiter leading the way.
As the elevator went straight to the top floor of the club, Qiao Si remained calm.
The elevator dinged and opened, and the waiter led Qiao Si to the box.
When the two hotel waiters outside the box door saw Qiao Si, they respectfully opened the two heavy box doors for Qiao Si.
Andy was a little nervous and followed closely behind Qiao Si.
Qiao Si's footsteps suddenly stopped, and in the corner of her left eye, he was sitting on the sofa.
He looked at her, with a faint smile on his lips, and a glass of red wine in his hand.
Qiao Si turned around and met his bottomless eyes.
He was sitting lazily on the sofa, his eyes were shrewd and wise, and the look on his face was not strange.
Andy had only seen Qiao Che on TV. Now when he saw the real CEO behind "qcs", his mouth was slightly open. He was shocked that Qiao Che was younger and more handsome than he appeared on TV, and his face couldn't help but blush.
Qiao Che's secretary walked up to Qiao Si and said with a smile, "Miss Qiao, Mr. Qiao has been waiting for you for a while."
Seeing Qiao Che's secretary, Andy's stupid face suddenly dimmed again. How could the appearance of the male mystery book be so far behind her?
Qiao Si nodded lightly and walked over.
"Sit down!"
He smiled, gentlemanly and elegant.
Qiao Si sat down on the sofa opposite Qiao Che and said calmly, "I wonder what kind of business you want to discuss with me, Mr. Qiao, when you flew all the way from New York to Paris?"
Qiao Che's secretary was already pouring wine for Qiao Si.
The aroma of red wine made the atmosphere a little hazy.
Qiao Si's heart was stable and calm.
Qiao Che's secretary handed the wine to Qiao Si and said with a smile, "Ms. Qiao, this is the Fluente that the president specially brought from New York."
Qiao Si politely took the red wine, but didn't drink it. She just put it on the table.
Qiao Che said with a smile, "Miss Qiao, you don't seem to appreciate it."
Qiao Si calmly said, "Mr. Qiao, you are overthinking it. I just want to wait for this wine to sober up." After saying this, Qiao Si held the wine, clasped the cup and smelled the aroma of the wine, and then took a sip. , and then smiled at Qiao Che.
Qiao Che smiled faintly.
Qiao Si said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qiao, there are still many things in the company waiting for me to deal with... let's get to the point!"
Qiao Che nodded, put down his wine glass, and said slowly, "Miss Qiao, you are so smart, you should know the reason why I came to Paris this time."
Qiao Si said calmly, "I'm not as smart as Mr. Qiao. I hope Mr. Qiao will make it clear."
Qiao Che's face darkened slightly, and his voice was full of the innate strength of a king, "I want to put an end to Edward's matter."
Qiao Si smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qiao, I don't understand what you mean by settling the matter?"
Qiao Che leaned on the sofa, adjusted his sitting posture, and looked at her with interest, "My men have come over to talk to you a few days ago. I hope you will take back the lawyer's letter accusing Edward." o Making false accounts, Devouring my company's funds and causing my company to suffer heavy financial losses, this will only cause huge damage to 'Tengqiao', which is about to be listed... If I don't sue Edward, how can I make up for my company's funding gap? "
Qiao Che chuckled lightly, "Miss Qiao, you don't have to be so nervous. I invited you here today just because I want to talk to you about this matter... To be honest, 'qcs' recently took over a project launched by the German government. For the construction project, the construction part of the project was undertaken by "Guanshi", and our company was responsible for the exterior design of the project building. At that time, the agreement we signed with the German government aa stated that Edward would be the chief architect, but Edward If we get into an official dispute now, it will make us breach the contract with the German government. I think Miss Qiao, you should know that breach of contract will damage our company's reputation and the financial losses will be huge."
Qiao Si didn't seem to be moved by Qiao Che's explanation. She said calmly, "Mr. Qiao means that compared with your company's losses, my company's losses are not worth mentioning at all, so I shouldn't sue Edward." ?”
Qiao Che's deep eyes narrowed into a thin line, and he smiled vaguely and said, "What I mean is that as long as Miss Qiao is willing to keep this matter private, I am willing to compensate Edward for the damage he caused to 'Teng Qiao' loss, and there is still room for negotiation.
Qiao Si stood up and said coldly to Qiao Che, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qiao, I behave in a manner worthy of social conscience. I don't know if Mr. Qiao wants to protect Edward for the sake of profit, but for me, bringing Edward to justice is the most important thing."
The law is what I want to do to this society, and I am not greedy, I only want what I have."
Qiao Che looked at Qiao Si's firm eyes and smiled.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qiao, I think we've already finished what we need to talk about... I still have something to do at the company, so I'll leave first." Qiao Si turned around coldly and stepped forward.
Andy followed Qiao Si silently, with cold sweat on his forehead.
Suddenly, "Sisi——"
A familiar magnetic deep male voice came.
Qiao Si's back straightened up and she was slightly startled.
Andy was stunned.
Qiao Che's tall figure had already moved in front of Qiao Si, gazing at her tenderly, his voice slightly gravelly, "Shouldn't we be talking about something else?"
Andy covered his mouth and looked at the male god who was close at hand, confused by the way the male god looked at Qiao Si.
At this time, Qiao Che waved his hand.
Two bodyguards appeared out of nowhere and took Andy out of the box.
Suddenly, only Qiao Si and Qiao Che were left in the large and spacious box.
Qiao Che raised his hand and wanted to stroke her hair as before, but his movement stopped in mid-air. He whispered, "Why do you have short hair?"
The girl in front of her no longer had the long, straight black hair that was as beautiful as seaweed a year ago. She cut her hair very short and looked neat and clean, but she no longer looked as young and immature as she did a year ago.
She seems to be a person who is deeply involved in the world and sees the world very clearly and thoroughly.
Her outfit today is more plain...
With typical ol attire and makeup that emphasizes maturity, she looks like a strong and mature woman, without any weakness at all.
My favorite Chanel eau de toilette has now become a mature Dior perfume.
she……
She was a completely different person, not the Joss he once knew.
If there's anything that hasn't changed, it's her eyes.
They were still clear, beautiful, and as smooth as water, but there was no warmth in her eyes, and they no longer had the passion they had before.
She was as calm as a spring in a mountain stream, flowing but without any warmth at all.
Unless she is really just a stranger, it is inevitable that she will think of him in the past after seeing him now.
Now he is wearing a gray suit that is tailored to fit his body perfectly, and his hair is carefully taken care of. Compared with him a year ago, except for his hair style, his appearance has not changed much.
, but the temperament is completely different.
If the biggest impression he gave people when he went out before was his peaceful and elegant temperament as a doctor, now he is a complete businessman.
After peeling off the doctor's shell, his innate coldness and strength burst out. His wisdom was written in his eyes, his shrewdness was displayed on his confident and handsome face, and his every move exuded a strategizing spirit.
, high-spirited, even though he has a similar face and the same name as the once world-famous "Dr. Qiao", but with his status at the top of the world's pyramid, who dares to compare him with a dead person?
Are they connected together? In this world, I am afraid no one dares to mention that he looks like that person, right? What's more, he is not very similar to him before. I don't know if it is because of the change in hairstyle, but he has become more different than before.
His youthfulness and handsomeness are far beyond the comparison of Dr. Qiao in the past...
After just stopping her gaze for a second, Qiao Si frowned and looked at Qiao Che in confusion, "Mr. Qiao, do you know that I used to have long hair?"
Qiao Si's flat voice made Qiao Che frown.
Qiao Si smiled slightly, "It's my honor to meet Mr. Qiao. Although I failed to give Mr. Qiao a satisfactory answer in dealing with Edward, I still hope that there will be opportunities to cooperate with Mr. Qiao in the future...
...Goodbye, Mr. Qiao."
Passing by Qiao Che, Qiao Si left with a smile, as if she was really dealing with a strange business person whom she had never met before.
