There was a strange sound coming from the bushes behind her. Song Yu kept calm, and the phone in her hand kept vibrating to remind her that there was a new message. She moved her fingers, ignored the accusatory message sent by Lan Lin, and turned the phone to silent mode. She thought to herself, how can I say this to someone's face?
Xu Qiao looked down at the man with a slight smile on his face, "I see, I thought you were traveling to a place with bad signal again."
"No." Song Yu smiled awkwardly, then pretended to read the message carefully and looked down at the message sent by Xu Qiao. "Actually, you don't have to send me messages every time. I believe you. Yaya has made great progress."
"Will you renew your contract with me next semester?"
"Next semester?" Song Yu was stunned. It seemed that they had only agreed on one semester.
Yaya will be a senior in the next semester. In this situation, changing teachers will require re-adjustment. However, given that she had already wanted to explain this situation clearly to Xu Qiao, she had already begun to ask Yaya whether she wanted to change to a more professional teacher. Now Xu Qiao asked her directly in the face, and her lips trembled a few times for a moment, but she could not easily say it.
".....Well...it's possible...but it still depends on Yaya's opinion. They will be in their senior year next semester and will already be under a lot of academic pressure. I also have to ask her if she is willing to take time off to attend classes." Song Yu struggled to organize his words.
Xu Qiao blinked and said, "Okay, that's okay. I should definitely ask Yaya's opinion."
"Yeah." Song Yu agreed, then said stubbornly, "That's fine, I'll leave first."
"Wait a minute." She turned around and saw Xu Qiao with a hint of apology in her eyes. "Is it because I have too many messages that you set it to do not disturb? I'm sorry, I won't send so many messages next time. It's because I can't contact you and I'm worried that something might happen to you. Can you turn off do not disturb now?"
"..." If possible, Song Yu felt so guilty that she wanted to slap herself. What kind of immoral thing had she done? It was just a message, and she wouldn't die if she replied. So, she turned off the Do Not Disturb function right under Xu Qiao's nose and even gave him her contact number. "Okay, if I don't reply to your message again, don't call me on WeChat. Call me directly on my mobile number."
"I won't call you very often."
Song Yu waved his hand proudly, "It's okay, call as much as you want, I will call you back even if I can't answer."
Xu Qiao curled his eyes and said, "Well, that's great."
Lan Lin stood up from the bushes in silence. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't describe the scene with her current knowledge. How did it come to this?
Song Yu knew how speechless Lan Lin's expression was without turning around. She said to Xu Qiao, "I've already released you. I'll discuss the contract renewal with Yaya. I'll be leaving now."
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry. You guys can discuss it slowly."
Looking at Song Yu's departing figure and Lan Lin's repeated attempts to speak but being coldly interrupted by Song Yu, Xu Qiao curled his lips. He saved Song Yu's phone number and sent her a message, "Is this the number?"
There was a quick and brief reply of "yes".
Xu Qiao looked at it for a while and replied, "OK, thank you."
He swiped up the chat messages, and green accounted for the vast majority. He put away his phone. Sure enough, the person she was looking for was Fang Qingtong?
Was he not doing well enough? Or did someone else say something to her? Xu Qiao's expression darkened, and then he turned and left.
Fang Qingtong looked at the man sitting at the other end of the table. He was surprised when he received this strange call. He was even more surprised when he heard the man on the phone say that he wanted to talk to him. After all, he thought there was nothing to talk about with this person.
He picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip of water. "I remember you were Song Yu's classmate? What do you want to talk to me about?"
“How often will you be in England?”
Fang Qingtong's hand trembled. He was indeed there that day. Some water splashed onto the table. He picked up the paper towel beside him to wipe it dry and looked up. "Does this have anything to do with you?"
"Yes, your presence is an eyesore."
Fang Qingtong stared at the expressionless man in front of her. His behavior was completely different from that day. Suddenly, a smile spread across his face and he spread his hands. "So, you want me to be responsible for your dislike of me?"
"Have you been in contact with Song Yu during this period?"
Being interrogated word by word like a criminal, Fang Qingtong frowned, "What on earth are you going to do?"
"Is there?"
"Yes, so what?" Fang Qingtong asked back, "I say again, none of this has anything to do with you."
"How does it feel to be ordered around by your two classmates?" Xu Qiao opened his phone and handed it to Fang Qingtong. It contained an interview invitation document with the name column left blank. When Fang Qingtong saw the title and position of the interview invitation, his expression became obviously excited. This was a core position in the Xu Group, and normally it was only recruited internally.
"What do you mean?"
"Delete Song Yu's contact information, fill in your information, and come for the interview in three days." He said coldly, "I will be the main interviewer who makes the final decision in that interview. Do you understand?"
"If you don't want to, forget it." Xu Qiao stared at the silent person in front of him for a few seconds, then reached out to take his phone back. Suddenly, a hand pressed his phone, then picked it up and quickly filled in the message.
Fang Qingtong deleted all of Song Yu's contact information, her face flushed with heat and redness from the rapid fluctuations of emotions. "Is it okay now? I've deleted everything."
Xu Qiao took a quick look, then stood up and said, "Three days later at 10 a.m., don't forget." Then he left.
The whole process was so clean and neat, it was over before I could even react.
Fang Qingtong looked at the man's back as he left, and after staring at his phone for a long time, his shoulders suddenly deflated. He didn't have that ability, and he couldn't blame anyone else.

Three days later, in the conference room where a round of interviews was completed, the information of three qualified interviewees was spread out on the table, but only one would be admitted in the end.
"What are your opinions?" the department head asked, tapping the candidate on the far left. "I think he's good. He has a lot of experience. He answered questions fluently and seemed confident and generous during the interview."
"No," the HR representative said flatly. "We've discussed this with him beforehand, and he's asking for twice the salary we're offering."
The person in charge remained calm and said, "We can discuss this. It's not a big deal."
"We've discussed this beforehand, and this person is very determined."
"Then who do you want to choose?" The person in charge was a little annoyed.
The HR didn't say anything, and there was silence at the table. The two people's eyes were secretly focused on a certain direction. Since that person didn't say anything, it was useless for them to choose.
He stood up and tapped the table with his finger, "Choose the one in the middle." Then he walked out of the meeting room without staying any longer.
The two exchanged glances. The middle candidate indeed met their requirements and was their second choice. The main interviewer chose him, and the two were not surprised. However—
"Why is he suddenly participating in our department's recruitment?" The department head looked apprehensive. He asked HR for information. "Is he going to parachute into our department? Tell me the lowdown so I can be mentally prepared."
The HR was sorting through the documents in his hands. He glanced at him and lowered his head, saying indifferently, "I haven't heard of it. Why are you scaring yourself?"
"I scared myself. But who was it that scared me so much that I called me out for a drink in the middle of the night when I first knew he was going to be the interviewer?" said the department head indignantly.
"Maybe it's just a spur of the moment thing."
"On a whim, Mr. Xu actually agreed? He's not afraid..." The two looked at each other, and no one continued speaking. The HR took the folder in his hand and said, "Be careful what you say and do, this is the company." After that, he turned and left.
The department head paused, recalling the tall, straight man sitting in the main seat, his demeanor calm and composed. He looked completely different from the naive and optimistic child who had played hide-and-seek in the building. He sighed, "It's been years since I last saw you. You've all grown up."
Xu Qiao went out, turned a corridor, and took the elevator directly to the top floor.
The originally quiet floors immediately became lively the moment they saw the elevator up sign. As soon as the news of this person coming to the company was released, everyone started to eat melons. The news in the various silent groups within the company exceeded the previous news limit for several days in a row.
Some newcomers who didn't know the truth asked excitedly and confusedly in the group who the handsome guy was. The information explaining the situation came to her instantly. If information could kill people, she would have been taken to the hospital several times.
Only some employees who are senior enough did not express any opinions. The new changes are likely to mean a change in the company's decision-making, and it is not certain whether this change is good or bad for these employees.
"Ding Dong, we've arrived at the 33rd floor." A pair of long legs stepped out of the elevator car slowly. The layout of this office was similar to that of the previous office in the house. He slowly walked to the huge desk and stopped when he was about a meter away. "Uncle."
"Come and sit down."
The person next to him snorted coldly, and the sound was very obvious in this empty office. "Brother Xu Qiao, you never came to the company before, why did you come here today?"
"It's a good thing that Xiaoqiao is willing to come to the company. It's time for her to get involved in these business matters." Xu Zhiyan said to Xu Qiao, then gave Xu Yi a warning look.
Xu Yi swallowed his breath and forced a smile, "I know, Dad."
"Then welcome Brother Xu Qiao to join the company. If you have any questions, feel free to come to me and I will tell you everything I know." Xu Yi stretched out his hand towards Xu Qiao and made a gesture for a handshake.
The next second, Xu Yi's fake smile froze on his face. Xu Qiao turned around, brushed past his raised hand, and sat down on the chair. "The candidate has been decided."
"It's all up to you. I'm very happy that you came on your own initiative," Xu Zhiyan said. "During this period, if you have time, come to the company more often and attend all meetings, big and small, to understand the company's operating model and main business. I've already arranged everything."
"Okay, uncle." Xu Qiao stood up. "Then I'll leave first."
After everyone got into the elevator, Xu Yi suddenly reacted and swung his hand, pointing in the direction Xu Qiao left with an angry look on his face, "Dad, what does he mean? I've been so nice to him time and time again, and he actually dared to ignore me???"
Xu Zhiyan gave Xu Yi a reproachful look. "I told you to be nicer to him, so how did you behave just now?"
"...It's his face that makes me angry." Xu Yi said, "Dad, why are you so nice to him? What does he deserve..."
"He has quite a few inherited shares." Xu Yi took a sip of tea and then waved his hand. "Okay, it's no big deal. Just don't mess with him if you have nothing to do, okay?"
"......knew."
Xu Yi walked straight down to the underground garage, cursing profanely as he walked. "Fuck, isn't he just a pathetic wretch living under someone else's roof? He's truly an orphan and uneducated. He's such a jerk, and yet he dares to come to the company? Damn, you son of a dead man, how dare you come and steal my things? If you ever make me angry, I'll send you down there so the three of us can be reunited!"
He was cursing when suddenly a bright light appeared before his eyes. The shining lights of a car shone on him. Xu Yi subconsciously covered the light with his hands and shouted angrily, "Who is it? Are you looking for death?"
The moment his vision returned, he saw Xu Qiao sitting in the driver's seat behind the light with a face as cold as ice. His face turned pale and his pupils constricted. The roar of the engine suddenly reached its limit, and the car suddenly drove towards him like thunder.
Fuck!!!!
A gust of wind flashed and howled past. After a minute of calm, he opened his eyes trembling with fear and felt his whole body. Fortunately, his hands and feet were still there.
At three o'clock in the morning, the quiet swimming pool was stirred up by a violent wave. The edge of the pool was constantly hit by the water. Waves of water were pushed ashore and wet piece of ground. This situation lasted for ten minutes before gradually stopping.
In the quiet room, a long telephone ring sounded, mixed with the man's short and low breathing. The ringing sounded several times in a loop. Just when the call was about to be automatically hung up, a crisp sound was heard, and a vague voice with a sleepy tone came from the microphone, "...Hello"
The channel fell silent for a moment, and the rustling sound of the quilt rubbing against each other could be heard from the other end of the line. She seemed to tilt her head to glance at the phone screen, as if she was still not fully conscious. "...Xu Qiao? What's wrong?"
The moment he heard her sleepy voice, his fingers twitched uncontrollably. His wildly beating heart seemed to be soothed by a gentle soothing, then fell back to a steady, regular beat in his chest. He tilted his head back and slowly exhaled, "It's okay."
"I pressed the button accidentally. Sorry to disturb your rest. I'm hanging up." He waited for a while, but there was no response. He heard even breathing from the other end of the phone. The girl had fallen asleep.
He stopped moving, just quietly listening to the light and slow breath, which rolled gently into his left ear canal, swung to the right, merged into his bones and blood, and finally fell into his left atrium, carrying his heart, thump, thump, one after another, resonating at the same frequency.
