Chapter 138 Memories
The next morning.
Ye Qian had just walked a few steps out of the bathroom when she saw two people sneaking towards an empty office in front. Ye Qian felt that she must have seen these two people before, but she just couldn't remember where they were. Out of curiosity, she followed them.
After the two men walked in, Ye Qian leaned against the window and eavesdropped, so that she could also notice if anyone passed by.
Then one of the men said, "When will we act?"
The other man said impatiently, "Why are you so anxious? Stop asking so many questions. What if someone finds out?"
The man said, "My wife is sick in the hospital. I need the money urgently. Can you please come sooner?"
Another man said, "Action will be taken in the next few days. Don't let your own actions implicate others. If you do, the higher-ups won't let you go."
The man immediately nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, yes, I just want to know the exact time. I will be careful not to be discovered."
The other man was a little unhappy: "It's just a matter of two days. Just wait a little longer and I'll let you know when I have news."
The smiling man was the head of the purchasing department. Ye Qian heard Li Yue mention it casually. The head of the purchasing department's wife had been hospitalized for a long time due to illness and her condition had not improved.
The other man is the secretary of the director. Could the person above them be the director?
As soon as the two finished talking, the door was pushed open. The man who opened the door turned around and glanced at the window, took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. Maybe he had seen it wrong. Why did he seem to see someone here just now?
At this time, Ye Qian had already hidden in the space and patted her chest with her small hands. Fortunately, she was almost discovered. Why did these two people walk without making any sound?
Ye Qian didn't see clearly who opened the door, but the man came to open the door almost as soon as she finished speaking. Fortunately, she had some space, otherwise she would have been caught red-handed.
About a quarter of an hour later, Ye Qian came out of the space in fear, fearing that the two people had not left yet, but fortunately, there was no one there.
Ye Qian quickly ran back to the office. Li Manyu asked, "Why did you take so long?"
Ye Qian sat down and replied, "I have diarrhea."
Li Manyu asked with concern: "Are you feeling better? Drink more hot water."
Ye Qian turned her head and glanced at Li Manyu. This sentence was quite hurtful. Ye Qian thought that only people in later generations would say this, but she didn't expect that people in the 1960s would say the same thing. Because people in later generations would always say "drink more hot water" no matter what happened, but hot water could not solve the problem at all.
However, Ye Qian expressed her gratitude for Li Manyu's concern and said, "Okay."
Ye Qian sat in the chair, deep in thought. Today's incident was completely an accident, but now that she knew about it, wouldn't it be better for her to tell Gu Jinyan as soon as possible? After all, based on their evidence, they would take action in two days.
Ye Qian couldn't sit still when she thought about this. She glanced at the time and saw that it was almost time for dinner. After sitting for a while, she went straight upstairs to find Gu Jinyan and wanted to tell him about this.
Now that everyone knows about the two of them, it shouldn't be too strange for me to go find Gu Jinyan.
After going upstairs, Ye Qian knocked on Gu Jinyan's door directly. Although she was a boyfriend, she still had to be careful at work, in case someone inside was covering up something.
Soon, Gu Jinyan's voice was heard: "Please come in."
Ye Qian pushed open the door and walked in. Only Gu Jinyan was there.
Gu Jinyan was also a little surprised when he saw that it was Ye Qian. Ye Qian was very sensible and usually would not look for him during working hours, so his first reaction was to think that something might have happened.
Gu Jinyan asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Ye Qian was stunned: "How do you know I have something to do? It's time for dinner now, can't I just come to eat with you?"
Gu Jinyan pursed her lips and smiled: "Come and have dinner with me." Then she looked up at the time: "It is indeed time for dinner. Wait for me for a while, I will be ready soon."
Ye Qian said: "Hey, I really have something to do."
Gu Jinyan put down the pen in his hand and asked, "What happened?"
Ye Qian walked towards Gu Jinyan's seat. Gu Jinyan turned around and looked at Ye Qian. Then Ye Qian said, "I just went to the bathroom. When I came out, I saw the two people I was talking to last time."
Gu Jinyan immediately became serious after hearing this. Ye Qian then continued, "The two of them sneaked to an empty office, and I followed them. I hid outside and overheard them talking about being sick and having to take action in the next two days, and asked the other person to wait patiently for these words."
Gu Jinyan asked, "Did they find you?"
Ye Qian said proudly, "Of course not. I'm so smart."
Indeed, no, and I didn’t say anything, but if I don’t have the space, then I can’t say for sure.
Gu Jinyan nodded and said, "I understand. Don't worry about it. It's getting late, let's go eat."
As he said that, he picked up the lunch box and took Ye Qian to the cafeteria. The two of them eating together naturally attracted everyone's attention.
Some people couldn't help but say: "Shameless."
Other fans of Ye Qian's books were not happy about this. They said Ye Qian and Gu Jinyan were such a good match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. "Yes, yes, yes, you are so serious. I don't know who was there that pretended to faint and cried 'ouch' before, and even threw himself into someone's arms, and she didn't even look at him. I don't know who was shameless."
Those who said this felt a little embarrassed. Most of them had used this trick before, so they felt a little embarrassed when being said this. After all, they were not as thick-skinned as Ye Qian.
Ye Qian naturally heard it, but she just smiled and said nothing.
After the two finished their meal, Ye Qian and Gu Jinyan sat in a corner. While eating, Ye Qian asked with some malicious intent, "Hey, do you remember the first time we met?"
Gu Jinyan was stunned when he heard Ye Qian's words. After thinking for a while, he replied, "I remember."
Ye Qian was unhappy: "Do you remember why you took so long to answer me?"
Gu Jinyan explained: "I always have to reminisce."
Ye Qian pouted and said unhappily, "What memories? You just don't remember them."
Seeing that Ye Qian was unhappy, Gu Jinyan changed the subject: "You asked why we met for the first time."
Ye Qian immediately came back to her senses: "I don't want to ask why you helped me up when I was about to fall when we first met. You must have seen many people fall. Have you ever helped anyone up?"
Gu Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief when Ye Qian came back to her senses. This really took a while to think about: "Except for you, I have never helped anyone else."
Ye Qian continued to ask: "Then why did you help me? Don't you think I'm the same as those little goblins who all want to jump into your arms?"
