Chapter 135 Her Substitute

Qin Yue was taken aback, and wanted to ask him what he meant, but at this moment, he changed the topic, and when he finally said goodbye, he said something meaningful: "A lot of things need to wait, wait for the best one. opportunity."

After he left, Qin Yue closed the door, poured out the cold tea in the pot, looked at the residue left in it, and smiled.

Naturally, Qizhen cannot be fully trusted, but from the perspective of Ye Chuxiao and Lu Zhengnan's matter, they can stand on the same front.

After all, what she wants is Lu Zhengnan, and what he loves is Ye Chuxiao. Breaking up this relationship is a good thing for both of them.

However, private affairs are private affairs, and public affairs are public affairs. Qin Yue still spared no effort when grabbing Jinsheng's list.

She went to see Ji Xue again, because she no longer fought against hunger strike, Ji Xue's spirit and complexion improved a lot, and when she saw her again, she felt more fresh and pleasant, except for those cold and sharp eyes.But it is precisely because of those eyes that she has characteristics that are obviously different from others.

This girl is really a good seedling.Qin Yue secretly sighed that she had a good vision, talked to the leader, and took Ji Xue away.

Buying clothes, cutting hair, eating, from beginning to end, Ji Xue cooperated but remained silent.

Qin Yue didn't talk to her much except for what happened at night. The relationship between them is just a business transaction. Even if there is compassion, it has already been expressed in money, so there is no need to say too much.

Finally, as night fell, Ji Xue was sitting in Qin Yue's car, looking at the sunset outside the window, it was going out inch by inch, and the light in her eyes seemed to be going out inch by inch, the hands clasped on her knees, the nails of one hand, Deep into the tiger's mouth with the other hand, pinching out deep blood marks.

When he entered the reserved box, Mr. Zhao's eyes lit up when he saw Ji Xue.

Qin Yue knew that she had chosen the right person, and pulled Ji Xue to him with a smile: "Xiaoxue, this is Mr. Zhao."

Ji Xue yelled "Mr. Zhao" in a low voice, and said nothing else. Qin Yue turned her head and winked at Mr. Zhao: "Look at this girl, how shy she is."

Mr. Zhao and her looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

When it was time to sing, Mr. Zhao's hand fell on Ji Xue's shoulder intentionally or unintentionally, insisting that she sing a duet with his lover.

He is older than her father, Ji Xue looked at that oily face and felt nauseous, but at this moment, she saw Qin Yue sitting opposite, winked at her, and gritted her teeth , she finally picked up the microphone and sang that vulgar song with him.

Her voice is good, although she is reluctant, but the effect of singing is still good, Mr. Zhao is very satisfied, the hand on her shoulder also began to move irregularly, and gradually reached her waist.

Ji Xue tried her best to move to the side, trying to get rid of that hand, but she moved a lot, but was warned by Qin Yue's eyes, so she had to sit still, the knuckles of the hand holding the microphone were already turning white.

Seeing Mr. Zhao's scale getting bigger and bigger, Qin Yue knew it was time to turn the scene, and stood up: "I have booked a suite at the Maohua Hotel next door, Mr. Zhao, you are going to be tired, so go and rest .”

This move was exactly what he wanted, and he praised Qin Yue's thoughtful arrangement: "I'm indeed tired, and I drank a little too much, Xiaoxue, can you accompany me there?" I touched it.

At that moment, Ji Xue almost wanted to pick up the microphone and smash it directly on his head, but in her mind, her younger brother curled up on the bed, weak and haggard, and finally resisted the impulse forcefully.

The three of them left immediately. When they were in the corridor, Mr. Zhao hugged Ji Xue tightly, his face was almost pressed against her face, and his mouth deliberately rubbed against her neck from time to time.

When he came to the corner, he even pretended to stagger, and squeezed Ji Xue against the wall, pressing her body ambiguously against the wall.

Ji Xue was so humiliated and angry that she could hardly bear it any longer, and wanted to push him away, but at this moment, the door of the private room next to her suddenly opened, and the first person to come out was Qi Zhen.

With a flash of light, he saw Mr. Zhao clearly, and at the same time saw Ji Xue in Mr. Zhao's arms, those stubborn black eyes burning with anger.

Suddenly startled in his heart, at that moment, he remembered another scene, another person.

And at this time, Qin Yue also recognized him. After all, the two companies were robbing the same business. It was a bit embarrassing to meet him in this situation. She nodded to him with a smirk, and planned to take him away. .

But at this moment, Qi Zhen suddenly said, but not to her: "Mr. Zhao, I haven't seen you for a while, what a coincidence today."

Qi Zhen is now considered a figure in the circle of the ancient city. Although Mr. Zhao wants to leave now, he can't pretend not to see him, so he has to let go of Ji Xue and come over to greet him: "Yes, everyone is busy."

"Since we met, it must be fate." Qi Zhen smiled and introduced the person behind him: "This is from Shanghai NC Company, and I'm in the same business as you. It just so happens that we have to change places to drink, otherwise, Together?"

NC is a big crocodile in the industry, so it is good to get to know him. Although Mr. Zhao is currently beautiful, he can still tell the difference between the serious and the serious.What's more, Ji Xue is the fresh fruit that Qin Yue took the initiative to bring to his mouth, even if he doesn't eat it today, he still won't be able to escape another day, so there is no need to be in a hurry.

After weighing it, he turned his head and greeted Qin Yue: "Manager Qin, thank you for your hospitality today, let's find a time to get together another day."

Qin Yue was depressed, but she dared not speak out, so she had to apologize, and took Ji Xue away first.

Qi Zhen looked at Ji Xue's back, his eyes focused slightly, then turned away, and continued to chat and laugh with Mr. Zhao...

The next morning, when Qin Yue came out of the house and met Qi Zhen, he thought of what was about to be done last night, but he snatched it halfway, feeling extremely unhappy, and walked past him with a cold face, loving ignore.

But he was not angry, he followed her into the elevator, and talked to her with a smile: "Is it because of Mr. Zhao's matter that made you unhappy?"

"How dare you?" Qin Yue sneered: "In business, everyone relies on their means, how can there be any joy or displeasure?"

"Let's do this." Qi Zhen pondered for a while: "Jin Sheng's list is not small, but I don't have to, I am also friends with you, and I don't want to ruin the relationship because of such a trivial matter. My name is Chen Jianqi Come down, this order is up to you."

Qin Yue was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, but he couldn't help but be skeptical. This order is not a small amount. Based on their relationship alone, it is a bit too generous.

Qi Zhen looked at her expression, and smiled again: "There is one more thing, I would like to ask you for a favor."

"What?" Qin Yue asked with a flash of eyes.She is used to exchanging benefits, and she will feel more secure when the other party asks her for help.

"Do you know the girl who was with Mr. Zhao last night?" Qi Zhen asked knowingly.

Qin Yue narrowed her eyes and smiled suddenly: "I know you, why, Mr. Qi, are you also interested in her?"

Qi Zhen rubbed his chin, chuckled twice, and didn't say much.

Qin Yue is a person who understands current affairs, since Qi Zhen opened his mouth, she will naturally not refuse, not to mention he just sold her such a favor.Then she told him Ji Xue's contact information.

At this time, the elevator had already reached the first floor, Qi Zhen came out, said "thank you" to her, and left straight away.

Qin Yue playedfully turned the car key in her hand, shrugged and said: Men, they are all the same in essence.

And that day, Chen Jian really called and expressed his intention to withdraw tactfully, and Qin Yue also tactfully expressed his gratitude to him and Qi Zhen.

Now that the other side has withdrawn, Mr. Zhao has no room to play with them as much as before, not to mention that Qin Yue has given him a lot of benefits. The only thing he still remembers is Ji Xue.

But thinking about what Qi Zhen said in the morning, Qin Yue was also afraid of flattering the two sides, but in the end they offended them, and lied that Ji Xue's younger brother was suddenly seriously ill and hospitalized, so she rushed back to her hometown.

Although Mr. Zhao is not happy, he can't say much, so let's forget it for the time being.

On the other side, Ji Xue received a call from Qi Zhen.

This phone was assigned to her by Qin Yue yesterday, and no one else knew the number, so when the strange number was displayed on the screen, her first reaction was that it was from the old man yesterday. With a wretched appearance, I felt nauseated again and again, and didn't want to pick it up at all.

The bell rang once and then finally stopped.She breathed a sigh of relief.

But half an hour later, the phone rang again, still with the same number.

Now that he has come to this point, sooner or later he cannot escape.She was heartbroken and finally picked up.

"Is it Ji Xue?" The voice from the other end was low and pleasant, she was taken aback for a moment, it didn't sound like Mr. Zhao's voice.

"It's me, who are you?" She asked back.

The other party paused: "Qi Zhen."

He didn't say his identity, he just said his name so simply.Ji Xue was even more puzzled, and replied bluntly: "I don't know you."

"Your number was given to me by Qin Yue." He finally added simply.

When Qin Yue was mentioned, Ji Xue's heart sank. Could it be another "business" she introduced?
"It's an agreement." Ji Xue was angry: "She can't keep her words!"

The other party was slightly taken aback, then chuckled: "I'm not like Mr. Zhao, come out, let's meet."

Even though his voice didn't sound like a bad person, Ji Xue was still full of guard and kept silent.

"Come out, I'll help you with Mr. Zhao's matter." His words moved her heart, and she asked softly, hesitantly, "Can you help me solve it?"

"Well, let's meet and talk." He immediately reported the time and address of the meeting, then hung up the phone directly, without any further persuasion, it was all up to her to decide.

Ji Xue hugged her knees, stared blankly at the narrow skylight on the roof for a long time, and finally smiled shyly.

Just go, it's not like that, she is miserable enough anyway, how can she be miserable.

She immediately changed her clothes and went out, only saying that Qin Yue asked her to go.She came back early last night. Obviously, things didn't work out. The foreman was afraid that the later payment would not arrive, so naturally he didn't dare to stop her now.

Ji Xue is not familiar with this city. She searched for the place Qi Zhen mentioned for a long time, but finally got lost.

Anyway, he wanted to see her, so she simply called and said that she couldn't find her way.

Surprised, he finally told her to wait at the intersection and pick her up by himself.

When the dark gray car slowly stopped beside her and the window slid down, when she saw him, she was startled for a moment.

He looks... good-looking.

But that doesn't mean he must be a good guy.She then added in her heart, still erecting her whole body on guard, watching him silently.

She is like that little hedgehog back then.In Qi Zhen's heart, a faint sigh sounded.

Since the glimpse yesterday, he felt that she was like Ye Chuxiao from before.Not the looks, but the stubbornness.

"Come on," he said softly.

She pursed her lips tightly, walked around to the other side and got into the car, but still didn't say a word.

He didn't speak, and the car was silent.

When he got there, he got down first and went to open the car door for her.

She was a little surprised by such a courteous reception, but she was even more nervous, not knowing what the next step would be.

"This is a coffee shop, not a hotel." He smiled: "Let's go."

She followed him upstairs, he didn't choose a private box, but chose a place by the window in the hall, it was very bright, and there were people around, she relaxed a little, and sat opposite him.

"What would you like to drink?" he asked her.

"Whatever." She spit out two words, then pursed her lips again.

"I want a cup of Nanshan, give her...a cup of milk." Before he finished speaking, she protested: "I don't drink milk."

Qi Zhen smiled: "Children can only drink milk."

Dissatisfaction was written in Ji Xue's bright eyes, but in the end she turned her head and looked out the window without saying anything.

It's so much like her back then.In Qi Zhen's eyes, unconsciously, there was a bit of pampering: "Okay, let's eat some more, and see how thin you are."

Such a tone made her feel uncomfortable. She grabbed the edge of the cushion and asked coldly, "What do you want from me?"

"Why did you agree to Qin Yue..." He thought about his words: "Go to an occasion like yesterday?"

"Didn't she tell you?" Ji Xue laughed at herself: "I took her money, of course I have to help her."

"Are you short of money?" Qi Zhen stared at her.

His gaze, for some reason, made her nose sore, but she still nodded indifferently: "That's right."

"How much do you need?" He asked bluntly.

"What are you going to do?" Ji Xue asked warily.

"I'll lend it to you." He used the word "borrow", which made Ji Xue feel indescribable, at least, not as humiliating as Qin Yue and Mr. Zhao gave her before.

"But why did you help me?" Her words made him startled slightly, as if he was also asking himself: "Yeah, why should I help you?"

"How about this..." He was silent for a while, and then said again: "My company is currently recruiting clerks. If you can do it, it will be regarded as an advance salary."

He is willing to work for her?Ji Xue couldn't believe her ears.

She was at the age of college, but her father died suddenly unexpectedly, and her younger brother was seriously ill and hospitalized. She had no choice but to drop out of school and go home. Instead, she came here to find a job to make money, but was tricked into going to the nightclub by a black intermediary.Now this person said that he could give her a legitimate job and advance her salary, if it was true...

"It's true." Qi Zhen saw through her thoughts, took out a business card and handed it to her.

She looked at the title above, then looked up at him, and compared it twice in a row, he couldn't help laughing: "Do you believe it? Why don't you call 114 and ask?"

Ji Xue lowered her eyelids and stopped looking at him, she just rubbed the business card repeatedly with her fingertips.

"Okay, I'll take you to the company later this afternoon." Qi Zhen pushed the milk brought by the waiter in front of her: "Drink it soon."

Now, he can barely be considered her prospective boss, she reluctantly picked it up and drank half of the glass.

"Drink all." He ordered again, and her rebellion came up again: "I don't like milk."

"You have to drink if you don't like it." He raised his hand and patted her on the head: "Be obedient."

His actions and words were too intimate, and she felt a little strange in her heart. She drank the whole glass of milk in silence, then put down the glass, and stared out of the window again in a daze.

He lit a cigarette, and looked at her in a daze through the gray smoke, as if he saw the distant old time through her...

After lunch, he went back to the nightclub with her first, gave some money to the leader in private, and then took her away after collecting the things.

She couldn't explain why, so she followed him obediently, as if he was more trustworthy than anyone else in the city.

Then, Qi Zhen took her to the company.

Looking at the orderly environment around her, she trusted him two more points. When she arrived at his office, she looked at the sign on the door and muttered in a low voice: "Are you really the boss?"

"What do you think?" He asked back with a smile, and Chen Jian, who followed him, was stunned secretly when he saw his expression. He had never seen Qi Zhen treat his subordinates so kindly, and he was still such a little girl.

After entering, Qi Zhen asked her to sit down, and then explained to Chen Jian: "Ji Xue is young and has no work experience, you take her first."

He actually asked him to bring it himself. I really don't know why. Chen Jian responded carefully: "Understood, Mr. Qi."

"Then you go out first." Qi Zhen then chased them away, and Chen Jian withdrew wisely, before leaving, he quietly took a look at Ji Xue.

There was no one else in the room, so Qi Zhen asked her, "Where do you live?"

"I don't know." Ji Xue frowned.After coming out of the nightclub, she has nowhere to go.

"Then...stay with me." Qi Zhen's next suggestion made Ji Xue jump up from the chair.

There was an angry look on her face again. She originally thought that she was different from others, but she didn't know that she was still the same.

Qi Zhen's eyes flicked across her chest, and he raised his eyebrows: "I haven't reached... the point where I'm so hungry."

He was laughing at her bad figure?Ji Xue couldn't speak, and her face was even redder with anger.

"Okay, there is more than one room in my place, and I won't make too many demands on you, don't worry." Qi Zhen's smile was gentle, and Ji Xue unconsciously put away the thorns on her body gradually with such a smile, calm down.

Qi Zhen looked at her with her hair lowered in a daze, and thought of the past again.

This is probably why he helped her.She can make him occasionally feel in a trance that he has returned to the past that he can't go back to.

Even if you know it's fake.

In the evening, after a brief meal outside, he took her back to Nanhu Garden.

Seeing that there was indeed more than one room, Ji Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Zhen pushed open the door of the guest room: "Just stay in this room. After a hard day, you should be tired too. Go to bed early."

After speaking, he turned and left, and went into the study next door.

Ji Xue stood at the door in a daze for a while, went in with her own things, closed the door, thought for a while, and locked the hidden lock, then lay down on the bed relaxedly, looking at the white ceiling with blank eyes.

She didn't understand why this man was so nice to her.

She didn't know what the road ahead would be like.

But now, she can only take one step and watch one step, there is no other better choice.

Falling into a deep sleep, she had not slept so peacefully for a long time, until the next morning, when the knock on the door sounded, she woke up in a daze, looking around, unable to realize where she was.

"Get up, it's time to go to work." Qi Zhen's voice came from outside the door.

She stared blankly, and finally came to her senses, promised, got up and got out of bed.

After washing and washing, breakfast was already set on the table, and there was milk again... She frowned.

"Hurry up and go, you're only officially at work on the first day, don't be late." He beckoned her to come over, and pushed the milk in front of her.

She could only pick it up to drink, he looked at her depressed expression, and asked with a smile; "Can you cook?"

"A little bit." When her father was still there, she was a delicate girl who had nothing to worry about, but after her father passed away, many things... she had to learn.

At this moment, Qi Zhen saw the sadness in her eyes, and raised his hand to touch her head: "We will send money to your home at noon later."

She lowered her eyelids and said "thank you" in a low voice.

Regardless of whether he is a good person or not, at least at this moment, he is good to her.

After breakfast, she took the initiative to clean up. He didn't say anything, but just stood quietly and watched her busy.

Many years ago, he and another her also lived such a life, but it was a pity that later, he left, and in the end...she also left.

Ji Xue turned around by chance, and suddenly found that his eyes were so lonely, she froze for a moment, and asked hesitantly, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." He came back to his senses: "Clean up first, I'll go to the study to get things, and I'll leave in a while."

She let out an "oh" and watched him leave, only feeling that this person's mind was too unpredictable.

After a while, the two went downstairs, and when the elevator door was about to close, a voice came from a distance: "Wait a minute."

After seeing clearly the person walking over quickly, Ji Xue was stunned, and then her face turned pale.

Why is it Qin Yue, why is she here too?

When Qin Yue saw Ji Xue, she was equally surprised, but she soon understood again. Looking at Qi Zhen, she smiled ambiguously: "Did you bring it back?"

Qi Zhen didn't explain, just nodded slightly.

All the way down, no one in the elevator spoke, and the atmosphere was silent.

Finally reached the first floor, the door opened, Qin Yue said goodbye to them, and hurried out to avoid embarrassment.

In the narrow space, only Qi Zhen and Ji Xue were left, and she couldn't help it anymore, almost growling: "I won't live here anymore."

Qi Zhen looked at her with deep eyes: "If you don't have the courage to face the past, how can you have the courage to face the future?"

Ji Xue was shocked.

"Let's go." Qi Zhen took her hand and walked out.

His palm is very wide, wrapping her hand in it, there is an inexplicable sense of security, she subconsciously followed his footsteps...

And after Qin Yue left that day, the more she thought about it, the more interesting it became. She was trying to be a pimp for Mr. Zhao, but she didn't expect to get Qi Zhen in the end. Hey, she even took her home to live with her. She is really a meritorious deed. immeasurable.

But if Qi Zhen really moved on, then they don't know if their offensive and defensive alliance against Lu Zhengnan and Ye Chuxiao will be solid, this is what she is worried about...

Speaking of Ye Chuxiao, it has been a while since I left last time, but I have never been to the ancient city again.No matter how deep the relationship between the two places is, how long can it last, not to mention that there is another man by her side.

Sometimes Qin Yue really couldn't understand why Lu Zhengnan had to compromise so much.

When she arrived at the company, she saw Lu Zhengnan in the office, so she took the contract signed with Jin Sheng yesterday and went to look for him.

"The record is not bad." Lu Zhengnan flipped through the contract and smiled: "It's the first time you go out and you will succeed right away."

"Where is it, it's not thanks to you." Qin Yue pretended to be modest, and then asked: "Are you free tonight, how about celebrating together?"

"I've been busy these days, let's go back." Lu Zhengnan's answer was within her expectations, but she was still a little disappointed.

But she still concealed it very well: "Okay, then I'll go out first."

She left, Lu Zhengnan sat alone in the office, dealt with business for a while, then called Ye Chuxiao as usual.

Now they usually talk on the phone in the morning. Because Mi Lier was ill before, she was recuperating at home during this period. Last time he didn’t go to Hong Kong to see her, which made her very wronged. Now she has to chat with her on the phone for a while every day to comfort her. little heart.

"Father." Mi Lier picked it up and acted coquettishly: "I'm going to school again, if you don't come, I can't play with you anymore, when will you come?"

This was the most difficult question for Lu Zhengnan to answer, so he had no choice but to coax her with the usual answer: "I'm still very busy recently, let's wait a while."

"Father, you just don't want me." Mi Lier flattened her mouth aggrievedly.He has said this sentence too many times, and she no longer believes it.

"How could it be?" Hearing that her voice was already crying, Lu Zhengnan felt helpless and distressed: "Then you...give the phone to Mom, and I can discuss it with her, okay?"

Seeing that there was hope, Mi Lier hurriedly handed the phone to Ye Chuxiao, with hope in her eyes: "Mom, you must let Dad come."

Ye Chuxiao couldn't say anything, so he held the phone and said "Hello" in a low voice.

"Chu Xiao, otherwise... I'd better come over." Lu Zhengnan sighed: "Just look at you and leave."

She felt pain in her heart when she heard it, but she didn't know that he was also wronged.

Only recently, Eric's overseas store was investigated due to food safety issues, and he is facing lawsuits and penalties, so at this juncture, she can no longer talk to Eric about other things.

At this moment, Mi Li'er tugged at her sleeve and shook it lightly, her eyes full of pitiful pleading.

Caught in a dilemma, she hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Then you... come over before the weekend." Every weekend, even if Eric is not there, Jia Lin will be there around the clock, which is inconvenient after all.

But for being so sneaky and seeing each other like a thief, she really felt sorry for him.

"Okay, then I'll come over on Thursday." He readily agreed, without a trace of gloom in his tone.He also didn't want her to make things difficult. It was a fact that he had been away from her for two years, and it was also a fact that Eric appeared in her life. These were unavoidable and could only be resolved slowly...
