Chapter 986 Miss Qu won't have discovered your true identity yet, will she?

Starry Sky International Business Center.

Holding the invitation, Qu Qingli passed through layers of security checks and finally entered the inner hall.

Representatives from various countries were engaged in friendly conversation, surrounded by royal guards, creating an unusually solemn atmosphere.

"It seems that Chief Chi hasn't come out yet." The manager spoke cautiously beside Qu Qingli, "There must be people guarding the Chief at all times. It will be difficult for us to get close."

This was his first time attending such a formal occasion, and he was afraid of doing something out of line that might damage the country's image.

"We'll see—"

The manager swallowed hard and said softly, "The governor has never made a public appearance. Even if he stood right in front of us, we wouldn't recognize him."

"..."

Qu Qingli pursed her lips; this was indeed a thorny issue.

I don't know if this governor has something wrong with his head or if he has psychological problems.

After taking office, he made a strong statement that "no media outlet is allowed to photograph his face," and even when he needed to appear in public for important news, he always wore a mask.

To this day, not even half of Chi Yao's face has been found online.

Some people speculate.

It's possible that the kidnapping incident years ago caused his face to be disfigured, making him ashamed to see people.

Let's split up.

Qu Qingli had no time to think about anything else. The bidding meeting started at 3 p.m., and she had to find Chief Chi before it began.

otherwise……

Lot No. 5 is really going to become Luo Zhongjian's crematorium.

"Okay." The manager nodded respectfully. "Ms. Qu, this place is quite big, please be careful."

"Um."

After they parted ways, Qu Qingli placed her bag on a corner seat and walked through the bustling lobby with a thick file folder in her hand.

She was dressed formally and wore a name tag around her neck, so she didn't attract much attention.

It's not in the lobby, it's only in the lounge.

How can I get close to the governor's lounge?

Qu Qingli was in a dilemma.

——

lounge.

Chi Yingzhou, dressed in a sharp suit, leaned back lazily on a comfortable sofa, scrolling through his phone's photo album.

Zhou, the special assistant beside him, was earnestly reporting the upcoming itinerary: "Chief, that's about it."

"?"

Having received no response for a long time, Assistant Zhou immediately looked at Chi Yingzhou and found the man staring intently at the photo album, a slight smile playing on his lips, his eyes unusually gentle.

What are you looking at?

It's obvious without even guessing that it's related to Miss Qu.

“Assistant Zhou.” Chi Yingzhou opened his eyes, his magnetic voice suddenly ringing out.

"Yes, Governor."

Seeing the governor's serious expression, Assistant Zhou immediately stood up straight.

Is there something wrong with the itinerary you reported?

"You have a son and a daughter, right?" Chi Yingzhou asked in a low voice.

"Huh?" When the topic turned to his own children, Assistant Zhou almost didn't react. He quickly nodded, "Yes, Governor, it's a brother and sister."

"Your first child is a daughter, what a blessing." Chi Yingzhou smiled, his eyes revealing a hint of envy.

He couldn't help but ask Dr. Zhao about the baby's gender yesterday.

In large families like the governor's, boys are valued the most.

"boy."

Dr. Zhao answered excitedly, but then heard Chi Yingzhou mutter, "A man? Are you sure there's no mistake? Is there any chance to turn things around?"

Dr. Zhao: "No, there won't be any mistakes!"

The months are so big, everything is clearly visible.

Chi Yingzhou: "How unlucky!"

Dr. Zhao: "?"

...

"Chief Governor, why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Assistant Zhou asked with a puzzled look.

"Which is more well-behaved, a daughter or a son?"

“My daughter is the more well-behaved one.” When talking about his child, Assistant Zhou’s eyes were full of fatherly love: “It may be related to my mother’s personality; my wife is more quiet.”

"Is that so?"

Chi Yingzhou pondered for a moment; Ah Li had a rather volatile temper.

If my daughter is like her...

OK.

Girls need to be a little fierce so they won't be bullied.

"Chief, is Miss Qu carrying a boy or a girl?"

Chi Yingzhou felt his heart was breaking, and said with a long face, "I would prefer a daughter, but a son would be fine too."

Since they were all born to Ali, he liked them all.

"Forehead."

Assistant Zhou's smile was awkward; no wonder the governor's face looked so grim.

"It's okay, we can have another daughter later."

"..."

Chi Yingzhou pursed his lips, his expression solemn.

He had seen Ah Li suffer from morning sickness; pregnant mothers have a tough time.

It will not reproduce.

"How are the preparations for the reception in the hall going?" Chi Yingzhou put down his subordinate, no longer wanting to think about this troublesome matter.

“Everything is ready.” Assistant Zhou glanced at his watch and said respectfully, “Chief, we can almost go out now.”

"Um."

Chi Yingzhou stood up, straightened his suit jacket, and glanced at the television screen as he walked out.

The video above is showing what's happening in the lobby.

"Commander—"

Assistant Zhou opened the door, preparing to report on the first progress item.

"Smack—"

The open door was suddenly pushed shut, and Assistant Zhou was pulled back by Chi Yingzhou.

Assistant Zhou slammed his head on the table with a thud, nearly losing his mind, and stammered, "Governor, what's wrong?"

"Look, isn't that Qu Qingli in the video!"

Chi Yingzhou pulled Assistant Zhou to the TV wall, pointed at the woman in the video wearing a white office lady suit and holding a file bag, and asked her a question.

"?"

Assistant Zhou immediately leaned over, adjusted his glasses, and looked closely: "She really does look a lot like Miss Qu."

wrong.

That's Miss Qu.

Xuanzhou will never find another face like this.

"Why is Ah Li here?" Chi Yingzhou frowned, his expression grave. "West Coast Casino is on the invitation list?"

"It seems not!"

Assistant Zhou thought for a moment, then said, "Reporting to the Governor, are you sure there isn't any?"

As for why Miss Qu suddenly came here, he really didn't know.

Could it be—

Assistant Zhou thought for a moment, then his eyes widened instantly. "Chief, Miss Qu hasn't discovered your true identity, has she?"

"..."

Chi Yingzhou's expression clearly darkened further.

Discover his true identity?

It shouldn't be!

If Ah Li knew this, he might have called him directly and told him to go back home and make things clear face to face.

Although she can be a little temperamental at times, she's not someone who doesn't consider the situation.

"Go and find out what she's doing here."

Chi Yingzhou sat back on the sofa, his head slightly lowered, his expression solemn.

"yes!"

Before closing the door, Assistant Zhou secretly glanced at Chi Yingzhou.

This was the first time he had ever seen the governor so guilty.

If we go out and bump into Miss Qu...

That scene...

Assistant Zhou simply couldn't believe it.

Chi Yingzhou remained motionless in the room, his eyes fixed on the girl in the video.

A few seconds later.

He took out his phone and tried to call the manager.

Unfortunately, the other party's phone was switched off.

Not long after.

Assistant Zhou pushed open the door, panting, and said, "Chief, I've found out."

"What's going on?" Chi Yingzhou immediately stood up.

"People outside say that Miss Qu is inquiring about your whereabouts."

Assistant Zhou answered cautiously.

"?"

Chi Yingzhou swayed in fright, his face turning ashen instantly.

Could we have really been exposed?

There will be more updates.
