Chapter 79
Not only her, many people saw this news.
She also called Joe many times, but none of her calls went through.
An ominous premonition kept emerging in her mind.
Until a phone call came in.
She shuddered and hurriedly picked up the phone, thinking it was Qiao Ye calling back.
When I saw the note above was "Xue Xiaochen", a feeling of sadness came over me.
But she still cheered up and answered the call.
After all, calling her at this time must be about something important.
"Pei Qing, are you okay?" A woman's slightly worried voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I'm fine, Mr. Xue. Is there anything wrong?" Pei Qing took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound less sad.
"I saw what happened on the news just now, so I called to see what was going on with you."
"Then... why can't I get through to Qiao Ye's phone..." Her voice finally couldn't hide the pain.
"..." The woman on the other end of the phone opened her mouth, and finally, as if she had made up her mind, she said, "You should stay in China for now. No matter what you hear in the news later, don't act rashly."
The amount of information she gave him made Pei Qing feel as if he saw hope. "So, do you know her current situation? Then can you ask her to report her safety to me? You know, Country M is in a state of chaos lately..."
Her words were already somewhat incoherent, and she spoke almost whatever came to her mind.
But before he could finish his words, Xue Xiaochen interrupted him, "Pei Qing, your top priority right now is to calm down. Qiao is fine, but she can't show up in public right now. If she shows up, all her previous efforts will be wasted. So, don't ask me about this anymore."
Hearing this, Pei Qing paused for a moment while holding the phone, then slowly put it down. She softly replied, "I understand. Sorry to trouble you."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
She looked at her surroundings blankly, and for the first time, she felt that she really didn't understand Qiao Ye very well.
In her impression, Qiao has always been that elegant person, who remains unmoved even when faced with a huge crisis. She can always find a perfect solution to any problem.
Therefore, she subconsciously believed that there was nothing in the world that Joe could not solve.
But now, she doesn't think so.
She got a lot of information from Xue Xiaochen's words just now.
1. I am afraid that Joe is also involved in the unrest in Country M this time.
Second, Qiao is also unable to show up. Either her current situation is extremely dangerous, or...
Another point is that Xue Xiaochen doesn't allow her to go abroad, which indirectly shows that she knows where Qiao Ye is now.
More likely, she also has a way to contact Qiao Ye individually.
Well, as long as she doesn't have to worry about food at school, she actually has nothing to worry about.
But she still couldn't let it go and wanted to ask for it herself.
Without even bothering to take a shower, Pei Qing picked up her bag, took a taxi and returned to the company.
It was lunchtime at noon, so the company was very quiet. Most people were resting, and quite a few were quietly working overtime.
She took the elevator directly to Xue Xiaochen's office.
Fortunately, there were still people inside.
"Come in."
The woman who was signing the contract looked up when she heard the voice and was not surprised to see that it was her.
Pei Qing sat in front of her and asked anxiously, "Mr. Xue, do you know something?"
Xue Xiaochen looked at her and didn't answer her question directly. Instead, he said, "I can only tell you that she's fine now. There's no need for me to lie to you about this, right? As for the rest, you should wait until the matter is resolved and she tells you in person. Instead of hearing the truth from an outsider like me."
Pei Qing felt very familiar with her words, as if she had heard them somewhere before.
"But you didn't tell me..."
"Pei Qing, don't worry. She has her own considerations, so you don't have to worry too much. Also, you'll be returning to the Kang family the day after tomorrow. Have you prepared your things? If you can't handle things well the day after tomorrow, I think our labor contract should be terminated."
"..." Pei Qing was silent for a moment, then stood up: "I understand. Then, thank you for troubling Mr. Xue."
"Yeah. Remember to close the door before you leave."
Pei Qing closed the door.
He returned to his workstation in a daze.
The midday news at this time was still broadcasting the latest news.
And official reporters have arrived at the front lines to bring them the latest reports.
Pei Qing stared at the screen on TV, trying to get some information about Qiao Ye from the official video footage.
But obviously, she failed.
The response from Country M was: "The cause of the accident is under investigation."
There is no useful information at all.
*
Only after Pei Qing left did Xue Xiaochen raise her head. She put down the pen in her hand and looked at the door thoughtfully.
"Do you think she will listen to me?" she asked suddenly.
I thought no one would speak, but a young man came out from the lounge inside.
If Pei Qing were here at this moment, he would definitely recognize that this person was none other than He Shanyi, who had been starting a business with Qiao Ye in Country M.
He Shanyi had clearly returned, but Qiao hadn't.
"I think so." The man shrugged. "Pei Qing is different from those of us who weigh 100 kilograms and are considered rebellious at 99 kilograms. She is very obedient."
"It seems like you know her better than Aye?" Xue Xiaochen said knowingly.
"Hey, I suggest you don't say that. After all, I don't want to be torn into pieces by that woman."
"Well, what's the situation over there?"
Xue Xiaochen did not lie to Pei Qing. She really did not know Qiao Ye's current situation. All her information came from He Shanyi.
"You know, Country M will have a change of leadership next year, and these people want to eliminate the biggest hidden danger right now, so unrest is the best protection."
"But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with us."
"Oh, listen to me first. Summer's development is too rapid, and even that country to the north is involved. This is a bit uncomfortable for some people. If there are strikes caused by the change of leadership, do you think that faction still has a chance of turning things around?"
"Tsk, so your Summer still isn't on the market?"
"That's right."
“How pathetic.”
"But what's more important now is that the things that Ah Ye deliberately provoked in Country M seem to have been noticed by some smart people. This is the most difficult thing to deal with right now."
Speaking of this, even He Shanyi couldn't help but reveal some sadness on his face.
"Huh? I thought that when we did it, Ah Ye had already figured out how to deal with the subsequent emergencies."
"The incident happened suddenly, so they left a lot of clues. So their main goal now is to prevent Summer from going public. After all, a logistics company that can transport weapons and other things is not a normal logistics company."
"But aren't you responsible for this aspect?"
"Hmm. I'm here before you unscathed, aren't I? So who do you think is in charge of this business in Country M now?"
Xue Xiaochen was silent for a moment, then cursed: "You are such a deserter."
"Hey, my dear Miss Xue, you can't say that. I'm just not taking responsibility for the time being."
"Then what are you doing back here?"
"Because I'm afraid you'll worry." He Shanyi said as a matter of course.
"...Shit." Xue Xiaochen was silent for a while, then spat out two words.
"Haha... just kidding." He Shan smiled. "It's nothing, actually. I came back because the fewer people left in Country M, the better it would be for Qiao Ye. That's why I came back. As for the rest, I'm afraid we'll have to wait for the results from her side before we can say anything."
"Do you have a one-way way to contact Ah Ye?"
"Yes." The young man nodded without hesitation.
But before Xue Xiaochen could say anything, he heard him continue, "Even if you ask me to contact her now, I can't. After all, I'm not a capable person. At this point in time, even if a Daluo Immortal came, he wouldn't be able to contact her. I said so."
“…”
This sentence made Xue Xiaochen swallow back what he was about to say.
"But as the saying goes, good people don't live long, but evil people leave a lasting legacy. That guy is a real evil, and he's going to live a long time."
"Is it true that once this incident is over, Summer will be able to go public?" Xue Xiaochen pondered.
If Summer can go public, then the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for her. At least she will have enough confidence to face the problems of Kang Group.
"You can say that. But on the contrary, if we can't make it through, then we may need to start all over again." He Shanyi shrugged.
"What did Mr. He say?"
"Hmm? What else could he say? He just asked me when I was going to get married. He said I'm not young anymore and wanted me to go back and inherit the family business..."
Xue Xiaochen was so annoyed by his constant barrage that he couldn't help but raise his voice: "He Shanyi - you know what I'm talking about -"
"Okay, okay. You really have no sense of humor." He Shanyi muttered.
Xue Xiaochen laughed angrily, "Do you think what you just said is humorous?"
"Isn't it funny?"
Seeing the other person's eyes, He Shan realized that if he continued to be so careless, he would probably be kicked out. He quickly added: "Ah, the old man said at the time that he would not give me any help, so even if I want to ask him for help now, theoretically it is possible. After all, I am his grandson after all..."
Xue Xiaochen now understood that "theoretically yes" meant "not practically".
"...Okay, okay, get out of here. I don't want to see you." She waved her hand with some disgust.
"I don't have a home anymore. Apart from you, few people know that I'm back this time..."
"Can you please go to the inner room? Don't disturb me while I'm working."
"Okay. I'll be leaving now. Bye."
Although I have long been accustomed to this person jumping around from time to time, it is still a bit unbearable when I really encounter him.
Xue Xiaochen rubbed his eyebrows and couldn't help thinking.
