Qin Huan didn't dare to imagine that scene and quickly pressed the answer button.
The first sentence is.
"It's late, you should go back and get some rest."
Jiang Jingchu sneered and looked up at Qin Huan's window.
"How do you know I didn't go back? Why, were you hiding behind the curtains and watching me secretly?"
At this moment, Qin Huan was standing behind the window, lifting a corner of the curtain and silently looking out: ...
"I'm not as free as you think."
"Of course you're not idle. You were kissing your ex-boyfriend last night, and now you're bringing your new love home to spend the night."
Qin Huan didn't know why Jiang Jingchu was so jealous.
"It's not normal for adults to play around. You forcefully kissed me last night, and I made you responsible?"
Play around? That's pretty open.
The veins in Jiang Jingchu's temples were throbbing.
He gritted his teeth, trying hard not to let his anger burst out.
"I'll give you two minutes to let him come downstairs, and then I'll leave. Otherwise, I'll go up right away."
Qin Huan frowned and glanced at Cheng Feng who was sitting on the sofa with an expression that said, "Look, I'll tell you what."
"If you dare come up here, I'll report you to the police for harassment."
"Report it."
Jiang Jingchu laughed indifferently, his voice as if tempered with ice, causing Qin Huanqing to shudder involuntarily through the receiver.
"You try and see whether the police can respond faster or I can go upstairs faster."
Two minutes, Jiang Jingchu counted the time on his wrist.
In the last three seconds, the door of the apartment building was opened, and a man in a windbreaker came out with his hands in his pockets. When he passed by his car, he gave him a playful look through Jiang Jingchu's open window.
Jiang Jingchu looked at him coldly, with a cold light reflected in his eyes, containing a hint of sneer, mixed with disdain and contempt.
When Cheng Feng walked to his car, he stepped on the accelerator suddenly. With a "boom", a gust of wind blew past Cheng Feng's clothes.
Cheng Feng: ...
He said that Qin Huan was trying to kill him.
…
In the middle of the night, Jiang Jingchu tossed and turned in bed, getting angrier and angrier the more he thought about it.
He has never been to Qin Huan's house so far, so why did the man in the windbreaker get in?
Thinking of this, he picked up his phone irritably and called Qin Huan.
"Hello…"
Qin Huan's soft voice reached Jiang Jingchu's ears through the receiver.
He snorted coldly.
"You slept soundly."
Qin Huan was half asleep, and only later realized that it was Jiang Jingchu's voice. She took away her phone, checked the time, and frowned in annoyance.
"Jiang Jingchu, are you sick? Do you know it's two in the morning?"
"I know."
Jiang Jingchu's voice was deep and mixed with a hint of roguery.
"I have something to talk to you about. Hurry up and get up. I suddenly remembered something that needs to be changed on the first floor. Take out your notebook and write it down."
Qin Huan: ...
"You're toxic, right? Who's up in the middle of the night taking notes?"
"If you don't take notes, are you sure you can remember it when you wake up tomorrow?"
Qin Huan: "Isn't it okay if you just remember it? If you have anything to say, can we talk tomorrow during my working hours?"
Jiang Jingchu refused to compromise at all.
"Of course not. Do you want me to repeat it to you? As Party A, I have the right to discuss work-related details with Party B, that is, you, at any time and any place."
Qin Huan had the urge to beat Jiang Jingchu up for a moment, but the next second, she rubbed her face vigorously, turned over and got out of bed.
"Okay, I got it. Wait for me. I'll grab a notebook and start right away."
…
Qin Huan was enslaved by Jiang Jingchu in the middle of the night and was not allowed to sleep until four in the morning.
I didn't get enough rest at all. When I arrived at the company in the morning, I felt like a frost-bitten eggplant.
Despite this, she still felt that her colleagues looked at her slightly differently.
No longer full of hostility like the day before, but respectful with a hint of curiosity.
Qin Huan didn't think much and went straight into the office.
As I was opening my notebook, there was a gentle knock on the office door and my colleague Xiao A peeked in with a cup of coffee in his hand.
"Team Leader Qin, I'm here to bring you coffee."
Xiao A is a clever girl, hardworking and likable. Qin Huan talks to her relatively frequently among all the people in the company.
"So nice, bringing me coffee so early in the morning?"
Little A chuckled and stood playfully opposite Qin Huan's desk with his hands behind his back.
"I just saw you look listless when you came into the company. Did you stay up late working last night?"
Qin Huan curled her lips and smiled, then picked up the coffee and took a sip. It was the sweetness she usually drank, and her smile deepened.
"That's right. There's an urgent order that can't be completed without working overtime."
Little A pretended to sigh.
"Oh, now I finally understand what it means that people who are better than us work harder than us!"
After saying this, Little A winked at Qin Huan.
"You were out on a business trip yesterday and didn't know it, but headquarters sent an email to our company yesterday. Now everyone knows that Team Leader Qin has won so many design awards before.
Before you returned to China, we also studied some successful design and renovation cases you had handled."
No wonder Qin Huan felt that everyone looked at her strangely, it turned out to be because of this.
Qin Huan lowered her eyes, her face expressionless.
“No one said my award was fake this time?”
Little A shook his head.
"Who dares to question the authenticity of an email sent directly by headquarters?"
"Besides, the news that President Jiang personally asked you to design it yesterday has spread throughout the company. I guess now, except for Song Yali, no one dares to disobey you."
Qin Huan was not very interested in these things.
"It's not about submission or dissatisfaction. We just have different jobs and do our own duties."
"You think so, but Song Yali doesn't think so."
After Xiao A finished speaking, he glanced outside the door and lowered his voice,
"You don't know, Song Yali has been working extra hard these past two days, trying to find clients everywhere, trying her best to outdo you."
After hearing this, Qin Huan didn't even bother to raise her head.
"Let her do whatever she wants. She's so energetic, it would be great if she could get more business for the company."
She looked up at the graffiti on the wall and her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
…
Jiang Jingchu also stayed up late last night, but he was obviously in much better spirits than Qin Huan.
I attended a high-level meeting early in the morning and criticized everyone harshly.
When they came out, they all had their heads hung low and were sweating profusely.
Someone who was close to Gao Fei quietly pulled him aside.
"Assistant Gao, why didn't you tell me in advance that President Jiang was in a bad mood?"
Gao Fei pointed at his blue eyelids, feeling miserable.
"Vice President Li, do you think I have time to inform you?"
Just to investigate Qin Huan's hometown, he personally drove to Mingxi Mountain and back yesterday.
I rushed back to North City at seven in the morning and came to the company at eight, but I haven't even seen Jiang Jingchu yet.
As he spoke, Jiang Jingchu walked out of the conference room with a sullen face. Gao Fei gritted his teeth and went to meet him.
"Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Jingchu glanced at him coldly.
"Are you back?"
Gao Fei nodded and followed Jiang Jingchu to the office.
"Tell me, what did you find out?"
Jiang Jingchu loosened the collar of his shirt, sat down on the office chair, and looked at Gao Fei with raised eyebrows.
Gao Fei respectfully placed the information he had found in front of Jiang Jingchu, then took a step back and stood still.
"Five years ago, Miss Qin's grandmother suffered a sudden myocardial infarction and died despite failed attempts to save her at the local central hospital."
"I went to Miss Qin's hometown to ask around. I heard that the old lady had always been in good health. The day before the accident, Miss Qin's mother had gone back.
Neighbors heard a heated argument at home, and the elderly man passed away that afternoon. He was rushed to the hospital and spent the night in emergency treatment, but ultimately died.
Jiang Jingchu was flipping through the information in his hand while listening to Gao Fei's speech. When he heard this, he paused in turning the pages.
He had asked Qin Huan before how his grandmother, who was so strong, could die suddenly, but Qin Huan's answer at that time was that she was old and had many illnesses, so she could not go on.
Now it sounds like that is not the case at all. Then why did Qin Huan hide it from him?
Moreover, this time point happened to be the time when Qin Huan was most upset about breaking up with him.
At that time, they quarreled every day, and Qin Huan said she wanted to go back to Mingxi Mountain to calm down for a while.
She had been away for more than ten days. Jiang Jingchu called her several times and said he would pick her up, but she kept refusing and never mentioned her grandmother's death from beginning to end.
Later, Qin Huan returned to North City. Within a few days, she started getting involved with Wen Li. Then, they completely broke up, and Qin Huan went abroad...
The more Jiang Jingchu thought about it, the more confused he felt. It felt like something flashed through his mind so fast that he couldn't catch it at all.
"Have you found out why Qin Huan's mother went to our house to make trouble?"
Gao Fei nodded, feeling a little embarrassed to speak.
"We've checked, and it seems Miss Qin's mother has a gambling habit. She lost a large sum of money gambling that month, and the debt collectors came to Miss Qin's grandmother's house. I don't know if this was the cause of the quarrel."
Is Qin's mother addicted to gambling?
This was the first time Jiang Jingchu heard of this.
He only knew that Qin Huan's mother had never taken much care of her since she was a child, and had been away from home all year round, so the relationship between mother and daughter was very weak.
Jiang Jingchu had met her mother once. At that time, Qin Huan was a junior in college. Her mother came to the school gate to wait for Qin Huan and asked her for money. The two had a big fight over this.
Later, after Jiang Jingchu learned about this, he secretly asked Qin Huan's mother out alone and gave her some money.
Qin Huan found out about this and got very angry with him.
Jiang Jingchu always thought that it was Qin Huan's self-esteem that was at work and she was unwilling to accept his financial help.
Now that I hear what Gao Fei said, there must be something else going on.
Jiang Jingchu narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze deep,
"You said her mother lost a large sum of money. How much exactly?"
