"What's going on, Director Yun?"
Yun Ruolin, who was in a daze, was brought back to her senses. She turned around and saw that it was Zhou Kai, and she visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
When Zhou Kai saw the things on the ground, he gasped and hurriedly picked up the brocade box and pearl hairpin, his movements quick yet careful.
The hair clip and brocade box were as if they were fragile glass items, yet also precious and important objects, so precious that he would quickly pull out a tissue to wipe them as soon as he placed them on the table with both hands.
They wiped it carefully and meticulously.
His face was filled with panic and tension, cold sweat poured down his forehead, and even his shoulders trembled as he quickly wiped them.
This was the first time Yun Ruolin had been ignored by Secretary Zhou, and the first time she had seen Secretary Zhou so flustered.
She explained in a normal tone, "Mr. Xiao's clothes fell down just now. When I picked them up and hung them back up, they fell out. Is this thing very important to Mr. Xiao?"
"It's more than just important!"
Secretary Zhou kept glancing back at the doorway as he wiped the door, turning back dozens of times in less than a minute.
"If President Xiao finds out that the pearl hair clip was knocked off, we're finished!"
When Secretary Zhou was wiping the pearl hair clip, she didn't dare to hold it directly with her hands. Instead, she pulled out a tissue and held the hair clip through the tissue.
He wiped with his other hand, his five fingers trembling.
Before Yun Ruolin could ask, Secretary Zhou, terrified, warned, "Director Yun, if you see this hair clip in the future, you'd better stay as far away as possible, and absolutely, absolutely do not touch it!"
Yun Ruolin clenched her fingers: "Why?"
"If Mr. Xiao sees you touching this hair clip, you won't be able to stay at the Xiao Group."
When Zhou Kai came in, he had obviously already seen what Yun Ruolin had done.
Based solely on my liking for her, I selectively ignored it and subtly reminded her: "Annie resigned last month because she touched this hair clip, and President Xiao saw it and fired her."
Yun Ruolin dug her fingertips into her palm: "Why didn't President Xiao keep such an important thing safe?"
Zhou Kai thought Yun Ruolin was standing up for Annie, so he shook his head and explained, "The hair clip is something President Xiao always carries with him. He takes it out to look at it occasionally after arriving at the company."
"When there's a meeting, I just put it in the drawer, but Mr. Xiao always closes the drawer before each meeting."
"Perhaps he left in a hurry that day. There was still a small gap after the drawer was closed. President Xiao didn't notice it and went to the meeting. When Annie brought in the weekly report, she saw the hair clip and couldn't help but open the drawer to take it out and take a look. However, President Xiao, who had just returned from the meeting, saw it and fired her on the spot."
"President Xiao doesn't like others touching his things, especially this pearl hair clip," Zhou Kai emphasized.
Finally, the brocade box was cleaned inside and out, and the pearl hair clips were thoroughly wiped clean.
Carefully placing it back into the brocade box, she held it with both hands and strode steadily and quickly put it back into Xiao Cheng's coat pocket.
Just as he withdrew his hand, Xiao Cheng returned.
Zhou Kai reacted quickly, taking off his coat and handing it to Xiao Cheng: "The important work that required your attendance recently has been completed. The rest can be done remotely from home. I have already organized the work that needs to be organized. Now I can take you home to rest before you start working."
Working from home is what the stay-at-home guy loves to do most.
Perhaps Xiao Cheng didn't have this idea when he first came in, but after hearing Zhou Kai's words, his expressionless face showed emotion, and he put on his coat, put his hands in his pockets, and went home.
Yun Ruolin was completely ignored.
He doesn't look well.
From shock to tension, and finally, as always, reluctance, yet still having to say goodbye.
Xiao Cheng left without hesitation, showing no attachment to the company; he was definitely going back to be with that holographic projection woman!
I really don't understand what's so appealing about a virtual character that could make the CEO of the prestigious Xiao Group so infatuated and eager to return home.
Perhaps it was her sixth sense, but Bai Lu could sense without guessing that Yun Ruolin had the same idea as her.
Xiao Cheng was possessed.
Who is that woman?
Yun Ruolin and Bai Lu both wanted to know, but Xiao Cheng's family had a super Transformer that could crush a person into a meat pie with one kick and blast a person into dust with one shot.
Yun Ruolin couldn't get in.
Even the White Dew cannot enter.
The mystery of whether the hairpin with seven stars surrounding the moon or the holographic projection of the woman is more important or related remains to be solved, and we can only wait for the next opportunity.
Yun Ruolin had to put aside what she wanted to ask Secretary Zhou.
As soon as I got home, I started rummaging through the drawers.
Before long, Bai Lu finally understood why Yun Ruolin had secretly reached into Xiao Cheng's coat pocket, and why she had looked so shocked after opening the brocade box.
The reason was that Yun Ruolin, through the photo she was clutching in her hand, confirmed that the hair clip belonged to Bai Lu.
The group photo is a junior high school graduation photo with Bai Lu among the participants.
The other two photos are a primary school graduation photo and a high school graduation photo.
Bai Lu only has a middle school graduation photo, in which she wears a pearl hair clip with seven stars and the moon in her hair; the other two photos don't show this.
A fine of 45.8 billion yuan, the closure of 6 detective agencies, and the closure of 7 paparazzi companies were all for nothing but these three meaningless photos.
Yun Ruolin was so angry that she threw the drawer.
In hindsight, it was worth it.
Seeing Yun Ruolin's increasingly jealous and hateful expression, Bai Lu knew without even thinking what Yun Ruolin was planning to do.
Take out your phone.
dial.
"Beep—beep—beep—"
No one answered the phone.
Yun Ruolin called several more times, but no one answered.
Feng may have already spent the five million on a lavish lifestyle, or perhaps he's dedicated to his job and used it to do bad things.
Whether it was the pearl hair clip or the holographic projection of the woman in Xiao Cheng's house, Yun Ruolin felt a sense of crisis and began to take the initiative to attack.
However, the situation does not seem very optimistic.
He invited her to dinner, but she declined because she was busy with work.
I asked him to go to the movies, but he declined because he was too busy with work.
He invited me to play golf, but I declined because I was busy with work.
