Gao Fei pursed his lips into a straight line and paused for two seconds.
"Five million."
Five million?!
This number is indeed not worth mentioning to Jiang Jingchu.
But he knew very well what it meant to Qin Huan, who had lost her father when she was young, whose mother was away from home all year round, and who was raised by a grandmother who set up a fortune-telling stall outside.
Jiang Jingchu suddenly had an idea: Could it be that Qin Huan was with Wen Li because Wen Li helped her mother pay off her gambling debts?
But this idea was quickly overturned by herself. If Qin Huan was with Wen Li for money, then he was much richer than Wen Li, so why should she go far away to seek someone who was close to her?
Jiang Jingchu frowned.
"Have you found out how the last payment was made?"
Gao Fei shook his head.
"We haven't found out yet, but not long after the old lady passed away, Miss Qin left the country. After that, Miss Qin's mother and the group of people who were collecting the debt also disappeared."
I don’t know if the money has been repaid yet, and the debt collector has disappeared inexplicably.
The more Jiang Jingchu listened, the more confused he felt.
Just as he was resting his chin on his hand in deep thought, the second assistant knocked on the door and came in, saying that a package for Jiang Jingchu was left at the front desk, and asked Jiang Jingchu if he wanted to send someone to pick it up.
Jiang Jingchu glanced at the second assistant suspiciously.
"What kind of delivery?"
"The front desk said it was something like a picture frame."
Jiang Jingchu's dark eyes suddenly lit up.
"Gao Fei, go down and get it."
Gao Fei was quite confused. He didn't know what kind of extraordinary thing it was, and why President Jiang asked him to go down and get it in person.
When he walked towards Jiang Jingchu's office with the express in his hand, he was very careful, fearing that something might go wrong.
Jiang Jingchu guessed it was the painting in Qin Huan's office.
When I opened it, it turned out to be true.
He immediately felt much happier and told Gao Fei to find a conspicuous place to hang it on the wall.
Gao Fei took the painting, looked left and right, and really didn't know where to put it.
The key point is that the painting style is too childish, which is completely inconsistent with the black, white and gray, high-tech decoration style of General Manager Jiang’s office.
Just as I was hesitating, not knowing what to do, I heard Jiang Jingchu's voice on the phone.
"at work?"
"I received the painting. Thank you for your kindness."
"Can't I call you if there's nothing else?"
"Tsk, then let me ask, when will the first version of the renderings of Jinghe Bay be released?"
"Okay, I get it. Just do it as soon as possible. I'll wait and see. It's pretty urgent."
As Jiang Jingchu hung up the phone, Gao Fei had a rough idea in his mind. The painting was a gift from Qin Huan, no wonder she treasured it like a treasure.
Without hesitation, he moved it to the most eye-catching place on the wall.
That’s it. When President Jiang is working, he can see it by looking up. There is no mistake about it.
…
Here, Ji Jingya and Yuan Mei were having dinner in the restaurant.
Ji Jingya had something to do last night and was unable to keep her appointment with Yuan Mei, so she changed the time to today.
Yuan Mei looked at Ji Jingya, who was as calm as water opposite him, and went straight to the point.
"Jingya, I heard that you knew that Xiaochu didn't want to get married for the time being, and you agreed?"
Ji Jingya put her hair away and raised a faint smile at the corner of her lips.
"Yes, Auntie."
Yuan Mei frowned.
"Hey kid, he's not in a hurry, you can't be stupid, you have to urge him when you need to."
Ji Jingya lowered her eyes slightly,
"He doesn't want to get married, but I can't put a knife to his neck."
"Besides, I might go abroad to study for a while, so it's really not a good time to get married now."
"You're going abroad?"
Yuan Mei's eyes were filled with shock.
"Jingya, do you know what it means for you to go abroad at this time? Let me say something that I shouldn't say. Your relationship with Xiaochu is already weak. If another woman takes advantage of this opportunity, then you..."
When Ji Jingya heard this, the smile on her face could no longer be maintained.
Yuan Mei grabbed Ji Jingya's hand.
"Tell me honestly, did Xiaochu bully you?"
Ji Jingya shook her head, her eyes filled with disappointment.
"No, he doesn't even have time to see me, so how could he have the time to bully me?"
The complaint in these words is self-evident.
Yuan Mei sighed,
"Jingya, even though you're a woman, you still have to take the initiative in some things. Xiaochu has a rather cold personality, and you can't be even colder than him. You have to take the initiative to get closer to him. Visit him at the company when you have nothing to do, ask him out to the movies or something. Wouldn't that give you more opportunities to meet?"
Ji Jingya lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly, without saying anything else.
Something flashed through Yuan Mei's mind.
"Jingya, tell me honestly, are you having a conflict with Xiaochu? When I saw you two decorating your wedding room, weren't you both fine and discussed everything?"
Ji Jingya pursed her lips.
"Rongsheng Huafu is basically the only one I'm worried about right now. Jingchu's mind is on Jinghewan."
"Jinghe Bay?"
Yuan Mei couldn't help but clench his hands.
"Xiaochu hasn't lived in that villa for a long time. What do you mean by him having his mind set on it?"
Ji Jingya pretended to be casual,
"I don't know the details. He didn't tell me. It was the designer in charge of Rongsheng Huafu who told me that he had signed a contract with another designer named Qin in their company to renovate Jinghewan."
"A designer named Qin?"
Yuan Mei murmured,
"The one who competed for your wedding room design last time and was rejected by Xiaochu?"
Ji Jingya nodded,
"Yes, I think it's quite strange. Before, he kept complaining that I wasn't good enough and called me worthless right in front of me. But then I heard that he specifically asked her to design Jinghe Bay."
When Yuan Mei heard this, something strange flashed through his mind, but he remained expressionless.
"So, men's thoughts change from moment to moment, otherwise why would Auntie be so anxious?
You know, in my aunt's heart, I have long decided that you are Xiaochu's wife. You have absolutely no worries on my side.
But right now, the most important thing is to focus on Xiaochu."
After Yuan Mei finished speaking, he felt more and more uneasy and lowered his voice.
"Jingya, Auntie wants to ask you, how far have you and Xiaochu developed?"
When Ji Jingya heard this, her pretty face suddenly turned red.
"Auntie, I..."
"Hey! There's nothing to be shy about."
Yuan Mei thought she was embarrassed and patted the back of her hand.
"Auntie is an experienced person, and I just want to tell you that this is not the feudal era. If you can get closer to Xiaochu sooner, won't things fall into place later?"
Pause,
"Han Xian will be getting married soon. Xiaochu is close to him, so drinking is definitely inevitable. You should seize the opportunity when the time comes."
After Yuan Mei separated from Ji Jingya at the restaurant door, the smile on his face gradually faded.
After getting in the car, I made a phone call.
"Check if there's a designer named Qin at YJ Company and see who she is."
After a while, the phone received a complete message.
When Yuan Mei saw Qin Huan in the photo for the first time, his expression suddenly changed, and a cold light flashed in his shrewd eyes.
No wonder Xiaochu has been acting so abnormally recently. First, he made a big fuss for a woman, causing a whole city uproar.
Later, in order to resist marrying Jingya, he did not hesitate to disobey his father.
It turned out that there were signs of everything already. It was her fault for being careless for a moment, thinking that five years had passed and some things had long become a thing of the past.
Unexpectedly, there were signs of revival of the dead ashes.
Thinking of this, the expression in Yuan Mei's eyes became deep.
The same number was dialed again, and the voice was cold.
"Please arrange a time. I want to see her as soon as possible."
…
Because Jiang Jingchu needed the renderings urgently, Qin Huan was busy in the company all day. She packed up and left work only when everyone in the company was almost gone.
When I walked out of the company gate, I found that it was drizzling outside.
Qin Huan glanced around, held her bag above her head, and prepared to walk to a nearby taxi.
At this time, a shiny black private car slowly stopped in front of her. A man in a suit and tie got out of the driver's seat and walked straight to Qin Huan.
"Miss Qin, our boss wants you to get in the car for a chat."
Qin Huan was alert and glanced at the anti-peep film on the car window.
"Can I ask who your boss is?"
As she finished speaking, the window of the back seat of the car slowly lowered, revealing a dignified and delicate face.
"Miss Qin, how are you?"
