Zhang Xiaofen began to realize that she seemed to have said something wrong: "Shengxia...well, Qin Ge only mentioned it to me once or twice. He didn't want you to leave at first, but..."
Through the car window, Shengxia saw Qin Ge walking out of the bank door from afar, picking up the car keys and preparing to drive.
"Stop the car! Zhang Xiaofen! Stop the car!" Shengxia shouted loudly.
Before Zhang Xiaofen's car stopped, Shengxia had already hurriedly opened the door and got out. Qin Ge was about to return Shengxia's call, but the next second, he was hit by a schoolbag thrown by the angry Shengxia.
"Qin Ge! How many things are you going to lie to me about?"
Shengxia felt extremely upset. "The school knows I'm going abroad, Feng Caiwei knows, you know, Zhang Xiaofen knows, but I'm the only one who knows nothing! I didn't even know you were leaving Hai City for Beijing! Qin Ge, what are you going to do?"
Zhang Xiaofen rushed over to pull him back, but she couldn't stop him at all. She just stared at Qin Ge and said, "I'm telling you, I'm not going to study abroad no matter what!"
Qin Ge picked up the schoolbag that Shengxia had dropped on the ground and said calmly, "Shengxia, don't be willful. You must go abroad to study. The school just called me. Tomorrow I will ask Xiao Liu to go to Qingshui Town to pick up grandma and Sheng Jianguo, and go to the school together for your political review..."
"Don't you understand me?" Sheng Xia's eyes were red. "Qin Ge, do you know that once I go there, I will have to stay in that country for several years? You let me go alone? You leave me alone in a country a hundred thousand miles away from you! Aren't you afraid that I will die there alone?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Qin Ge couldn't bear to see Sheng Xia cry, no matter how hard his heart was. He opened the car door and took out a tissue to wipe Sheng Xia's tears: "I won't abandon you. When you get to Germany, I will come to see you. Believe me."
"Don't lie to me!" Shengxia's tears fell. She waved her hand to block Qin Ge's hand and squatted down to cry: "You are going to Beijing... You didn't even tell me such a big thing as going to Beijing. You never planned to take me with you from the beginning, Qin Ge. It was all planned by you! You just wanted to abandon me!"
Seeing Shengxia crying so sadly, Zhang Xiaofen couldn't help but say to Qin Ge, "Qin Ge, can't you just talk to her nicely?"
But Qin Ge never showed any anger from beginning to end, so how could he talk to her nicely?
Qin Ge did not refute. He silently picked up Shengxia, who was squatting on the ground crying. He put one arm around Shengxia's back, picked her up and carried her into the car.
"The last 50 million is here." He pressed the thick stack of loan documents into Zhang Xiaofen's hands, took Shengxia and drove away.
Shengxia was sent back home by Qin Ge. She cried all the way. The panting in her thin chest was like a pulled bellows, which made people feel distressed. Qin Ge had just settled her down when the phone rang again urgently. It seemed that it could not stop ringing recently. Qin Ge answered a call outside and left in a hurry again.
Shengxia barely stopped crying and reached out to hold him: "Where are you going? Qin Ge, I can't blame you for not telling me that you went to Beijing. I don't blame you, okay? But I really don't want to study abroad. I don't want to leave you, Qin Ge. I want to go to Beijing with you. I don't understand you. You know I can't leave you, why do you have to drive me away..."
The phone in Qin Ge's pocket rang again, desperately. He had so much on his plate lately, it was overwhelming. Everyone was waiting for him, and he had so little time...
"Be good and lie down and rest for a while. I'll come back and explain it to you slowly."
After Qin Ge said this, he didn't come back the whole night. Shengxia cried all night. She really couldn't understand what was going on.
The next day, her grandmother called her and said that Qin Ge sent a car to pick her up at school. Her dear was actually selected by the country to study in Germany. Although her grandmother didn't know what a doctorate or master's degree was, she was so happy that she cried on the phone. But Shengxia on the other end of the phone couldn't even laugh.
Zhang Xiaofen was worried, so she brought over some of Shengxia's favorite seafood in the afternoon. As soon as she entered the door, she saw that the food Qin Ge had sent was on the table and had not been touched.
Zhang Xiaofen sighed, took the food and went upstairs to call Shengxia.
Shengxia was curled up on the bed, still wearing the clothes from last night without even taking them off. When she saw Zhang Xiaofen coming, she ignored her, so Zhang Xiaofen had to put down the meal.
"Shengxia, what are you making a fuss about? It's a blessing to be able to stay in an ivory tower. I'm just not good at studying. If I had your opportunity, who would still want to stay in the business world? You don't know how difficult those old men are to deal with. I would have flown to the other side of the ocean long ago..."
Shengxia didn't say anything. She didn't even turn over, leaving only her back to Zhang Xiaofen. The series of news in just one day was a huge blow to her.
Zhang Xiaofen was helpless: "I know you want to find Qin Ge, but you also have to understand Qin Ge. He is really in a mess now. Do you think that the big house you live in, the food and clothes you eat, and the money you earn are easy? Tianyu is an old state-owned enterprise with complicated factions. It took Qin Ge several years to make up for the losses in various places, but how many people saw that Tianyu made so much money, and they were staring at his position with red eyes, wanting to pull him down. Although he now has his own company, it is not so easy to get out of here..."
"How did Qin Ge get all those projects over the years? Who can guarantee that they're clean and can withstand scrutiny? Those people are ruthless. Did you know that Qin Ge was summoned for questioning a while ago? If he continues to stay here, he'll be killed by them!"
Shengxia finally showed some reaction. She turned around and said in a hoarse voice, "Being summoned for an interview?"
Zhang Xiaofen nodded. "Because he gave his employees a bonus of 100,000 yuan, even if you don't know, you've probably heard how grueling the demolition project on that plaza was. Those employees toiled tirelessly for over a year, and the project brought the company tens of millions in profit. But just because of that 100,000 yuan, someone reported him for violating regulations and exceeding his authority by approving the bonus without even going through the company's application. But because of Yang Fengrong's connections, the matter was ultimately resolved with a public notice of criticism from above..."
Zhang Xiaofen continued, "But Shengxia, do you understand? Qin Ge has to leave."
Shengxia lowered her eyes: "But why does he insist on me going abroad? Can't he take me to Beijing with him?"
Zhang Xiaofen sighed, "Shengxia, sometimes I really don't understand what you're thinking. Between the great opportunity of studying abroad at a prestigious German university on a government scholarship and going to Beijing to accompany Qin Ge on an unknown road, anyone would know which of these two choices is better."
