She booked a flight abroad without stopping. When her assistant came to report, Qiao Yiyang looked at the time and guessed that Qiao Yiming had probably already boarded the plane...
Open your contacts and pause your finger where you would dial a number.
"The head of the family?..."
He repeated it to himself in a low voice, then turned off the screen.
The assistant stood aside, watching his boss in a daze, before he finally spoke, "Continue. Once Yiming arrives in S country, he'll probably go back to the villa he was staying at before. Just have the butler report back after he arrives safely."
She looked at him with some disbelief. Almost everyone in the company knew that Qiao Yiyang managed Qiao Yiming in a way that could be described as strict as a father. If it were before, she might have gone out and intercepted him.
Noticing his assistant looking at him with surprise, he asked, "Are you that surprised?"
The assistant quickly concealed the surprise in her eyes and returned to her normal work state.
This only made Qiao Yiyang more convinced that she was an overabundance of paternalism.
Only after his assistant left the office did he hesitantly press the number on the screen.
"Hello, this is Qiao Yiyang."
The voice on the other end of the phone sounded like they had returned to their initial boss-employee relationship.
"You don't need to work for now. Yiming went abroad after filming today, and it's uncertain when he'll be back."
Anna hesitated a little when she received Qiao Yiyang's call.
It wasn't until she heard the man's deep, helpless voice that she realized he hadn't come to declare that he had changed his mind.
Realizing her tone was a bit stiff and awkward, Qiao Yiyang softened her tone, "...Rest at home for a few more days. I'll contact you when she gets back."
Anna felt a little lost when her direct supervisor called to assign work, and could only reply curtly, "Okay, I understand."
There was a long silence on both ends of the phone after that sentence.
Both of them are usually eloquent and articulate in their respective fields, yet they encountered this situation.
"If there's nothing..."
"Thank you, Qiao Yiyang, thank you."
Qiao Yiyang was interrupted by her and blurted out, "What are you thanking me for..." but the corners of her mouth still couldn't help but turn up.
Anyway, thank you.
Before he could respond, Anna said goodbye and hung up the phone. The words she wanted to say were replaced by the rapid beating of her heart.
I thank him for helping me prove my innocence, and I also thank him for helping me when I was most vulnerable.
I finally had the chance to say thank you, something I should have said a long time ago.
After landing, Qiao Yiming turned on his phone and found that there were no missed calls. His information with Qiao Yiyang was still stuck on their last call.
I really don't know if this is the prelude to a storm.
Oh well, since I'm already out here, I called the villa's housekeeper and asked her to send someone to pick me up. A little while later, she said the person had arrived.
This made Qiao Yiming suspect that the driver had arrived early at all.
After picking her up, the housekeeper sent a message to the boss on the other end of the phone: "Miss has been safely picked up."
Qiao Yiming closed his eyes to rest in the car, completely unaware of the familiar figure emerging from the arrival area behind him.
"Mr. Bai, it's great to finally pick you up. The schedule for the next few days has been arranged. What do you think?"
Bai Xiujin handed over the luggage, glanced at the contents of the itinerary, and said, "Let's go to the branch office first and finish as soon as possible. I want to get back early."
In a few days it will be Bai's mother's birthday banquet. We originally said we wouldn't have a big celebration, just a family meal, but since it's her 50th birthday, we'll make it a bit more lively.
"Yes, this way please."
In recent years, Bai Xiujin has been learning about business from his father, and has injected fresh blood into almost all the family businesses in Jiangcheng.
He also wanted to take over as soon as possible so that his father and mother could retire and enjoy their old age.
He's here to familiarize himself with the expansion of overseas business lines in Country S.
Unlike the season in Jiangcheng, this place already feels like early winter. Unlike the bustling city in China, once you leave the brightly lit office districts, it becomes desolate, with the countryside stretching out everywhere...
In the study of the Sige Manor, Gu Mai listened to the man's report, his sword-like eyebrows cold and his thin lips slightly pursed. He looked out the window, while the man behind him skillfully took out a report from a box.
"Master, the test results are in. The drug is non-toxic. It's a nerve stabilizer, usually used to stabilize and consolidate the effects of psychiatric treatment."
“Neurological treatment?” He raised an eyebrow and glanced back.
Since suspecting that the food had been spiked, Gu Mai has not eaten anything that Lauren brought him.
She also noticed that Lauren started bringing her tea every few days, and to avoid arousing his suspicion, she would drink a few sips and then induce vomiting.
Perhaps it was because he was no longer taking the medication that Gu Mai had more and more nightmares while sleeping, but it was always the same scene: a strange woman and a few words going back and forth.
The dark circles under her eyes completely betrayed her exhaustion.
The man noticed that the man's face had become noticeably thinner and spoke up, "Master, I see that you are not in very good condition. Perhaps you can continue taking your medication. This medication is legal and effective in current psychiatric treatments. As long as you take it as prescribed, it will not cause any other harm to your body."
"Heh." The cold laugh was as sinister as a ghost in the night, and the tone was somewhat indifferent. "The fact that he's been feeding me medicine every day just proves that he doesn't want me to remember something, doesn't it? Go and investigate secretly, and while you're at it, find a famous hypnotist. What the old man wants to erase, I'll make sure he sees the light of day again."
A cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth, carrying a hint of danger.
"yes."
Gu Mai tidied himself up and hurried to the agreed-upon place. Stepping into the royal palace, he was greeted by someone.
"Sir, please wait a moment. The prince is still inside receiving other guests. I will take you in shortly."
The man led Gu Mai to a resting place nearby.
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, Gu Mai roughly guessed the purpose of the royal family's meeting with him today.
The increasingly unstable maritime transport issue is no longer just a matter for the Scott family; the royal family has long been quite critical of it.
Many other small families also tried to expand rapidly and gain a foothold in S country by taking advantage of these ups and downs. Unfortunately, the foundations of the Sige and Orland families were too solid, and they restrained each other, which left them not much room to maneuver.
But if one of them makes a mistake, wouldn't that be the opportunity?
Just as he was thinking about how to deal with the royal family's questions, he discovered that it was Zhuo Wen who came out of the reception room.
Their eyes met; although the latter still had a smile on his face, the coldness in his eyes was impossible to ignore.
After a polite nod and a greeting, someone led Gu Mai inside.
Standing at the door, he turned around and caught Zhuo Wen's chilling aura and murderous intent as Zhuo Wen turned around at the same time.
Even from a great distance, Gu Mai could still sense the nameless hatred in his eyes.
He rarely showed a hint of confusion.
