Crazy
The president's office located on the top floor of the Star Building has been shrouded in a lingering low pressure recently. Everyone wants to stay away from it for fear of being affected.
Those who really want to go in and suffer this hardship will be nervous all the time and hold their breath, for fear that a loud breathing will make the big Buddha unhappy.
Qi Feng is the one who really wants to go in.
"Boss Lin, Hengxing's sales have plummeted in the past few days. The internet is flooded with reports of you cheating on multiple people during your marriage, and it's topped the trending search list for a long time."
In the president's office, Qi Feng reported his work to Lin Shanglu in a serious manner.
Lin Shanglu's face darkened as he heard the string of bad news. The sales report on his desk made his face as black as the bottom of a pot. He threw the sales report out of the desk.
"Where's the PR department? Are all of them just there to do the work?! They can't even handle this little thing, are they really that bad? If you can't do this, resign now. Get out!"
An unexpected disaster.
Qi Feng leaned over with the document in hand, defended his colleague who had tried but to no avail, and then relayed the message his colleague had entrusted him with:
"Mr. Lin, the PR department released a statement as soon as the media reports emerged, but it didn't have much effect. So, they want you to bring your wife to the press conference to personally clarify the matter."
"Mrs?"
This sentence hit Lin Shanglu's sore spot again, and he threw the pen away this time:
"Why would they bother with all this if I could find my wife?!"
“…”
So whose fault is it that my wife is missing?!
Qi Feng was speechless, but as he was speechless, his anger spread to him.
"Assistant Qi, you can't just be passive and lazy just because you're about to leave. You asked about my wife, and I also wanted to ask you about my wife. It's been a week, a whole week, and I haven't found a single hair of my wife! You haven't found a single clue!"
A typical case of innocent people being affected by a fire in the city gate. Qi Feng quietly stepped back a few steps. He was also troubled by the problem of Chen Nanxing's missing whereabouts. If he had a solution, he would not have no solution at all now.
"Mr. Lin, my wife's communication equipment can't detect any signal fluctuations, but she seems to be at Zhaofeng. In the past two weeks, there has been no record of her traveling to the high-speed rail station, the train station, or the airport. I have arranged for someone to go to Zhaofeng to look for her."
After searching for so long and still not finding the reason, Lin Shanglu tapped the table with his fingertips in frustration:
"Can't you find some hackers to hack into Zhaofeng's surveillance and find out where your wife is?!"
He has been in a high position for many years, and his way of solving problems is only based on the principle of efficiency. He has thrown everything else out of his mind, such as the law.
However, he didn't understand the law, but Qi Feng did, so Qi Feng started a small legal education class.
"General Lin, hiring hackers to attack road surveillance systems is a high-voltage line that absolutely cannot be crossed. According to Chinese law, anyone who intrudes into computer information systems related to national affairs, national defense, or cutting-edge science and technology is subject to imprisonment of up to three years or criminal detention. Those who obtain data stored, processed, or transmitted in computer information systems, or who illegally control computer information systems, are subject to imprisonment of up to three years or criminal detention and a fine or a fine alone, if the circumstances are serious. In especially serious cases, the maximum sentence is 15 years in prison and a fine."
It was a perfect legal education class, but he obviously overlooked one point: Lin Shanglu's legal awareness was quite weak.
"If you do it secretly, who will know?"
“…”
The moment their eyes met, Qi Feng chose to divert Lin Shanglu's attention with a bombshell piece of news.
"Mr. Lin, Miss Su and your mother are downstairs at the company and want to see you."
Too many things have happened recently. Lin Shanglu is now upset because he is trapped in this office building and has no time to look for Chen Nanxing. Su Qiao cries every time she comes, and Lin Shanglu has completely lost his patience. For so long, he would rather sleep in the company than set foot in Su Qiao's residence again.
Now it has evolved into Lin Shanglu frowning when he hears Su Qiao's name:
"Why is Su Qiao running here every day instead of taking good care of her baby? Doesn't she know how many media outlets are watching this Hengxing building? No! No! Let them all go."
This was indeed very effective. Qi Feng bent down to pick up the things that Lin Shanglu threw on the ground, sorted them out and placed them on Lin Shanglu's desk, and was about to retire.
Lin Shanglu suddenly remembered something and called Qi Feng again:
"Wait, Assistant Qi, have your driver, Xiao Wang, take Su Qiao away secretly, and then arrange for someone to take my mother back. Stagger the time so they don't leave together."
Lin Shanglu had put a lot of thought into this arrangement. Both of them were difficult to deal with. Lin's mother was getting old and had become obsessed with having a grandson, while Su Qiao was becoming increasingly crazy in wanting to take the throne by taking advantage of her pregnancy.
One wanted to hold his grandson, and the other wanted to use the child to take Mrs. Lin's position. If these two got together, it was guaranteed that Lin Shanglu would not have a moment's peace and quiet, and he might even get divorced.
Qi Feng thought about it for a moment and came up with this idea. With a thought, a plan took shape in his mind.
If he remembered correctly, the reason why the B&B owner who came last time had a conflict with his boss was because she was helping his wife get a divorce, so perhaps getting Lin Shanglu and Chen Nanxing to divorce could serve as a token of his loyalty to become the assistant of Qin Dengchao, the ninth daughter of the Qin family.
Qi Feng gave a very standard professional smile, and the lenses completely hid the calculation in his eyes.
"Okay, Mr. Lin."
Lin Shanglu never imagined that Chen Nanxing, whom he had been looking for all over the world, was living in a small mountain village in Zhaofeng, G City.
Unlike Ji Chuan's blind search, Chen Nanxing actually discussed the specific location of this small mountain village with Lin Shanglu.
At this time, Chen Nanxing, who was in a remote mountainous area, heard footsteps outside the door. With Lihua resting her head on her legs, she turned her wheelchair towards the entrance of the yard. Lan Mei poked her head out from behind the door and lifted the basket in her hand.
"Sister, my grandma said these dishes are for you."
Huang Guihua said she wanted to give it as a gift, but if Chen Nanxing didn't give the money, there would definitely be more pinch marks on Lanmei's body the next day.
Chen Nanxing would not watch Lanmei get beaten for a few dollars, so he would definitely give her the money. Huang Guihua saw this and asked Lanmei to come and earn money from Chen Nanxing in the name of delivering food.
Chen Nanxing guessed that Lanmei would come to deliver food today, so he put a five-yuan bill in his shirt pocket.
"Thanks."
The dishes were placed on the table and the money was transferred to Lanmei's hands.
Lanmei's palms were sweating, and the five-yuan note she was holding was also sweaty. She took a few steps towards the door, then returned and lowered her head to look at the compacted ground under her feet. Her eyes flickered, as if she was thinking about a difficult decision.
Chen Nanxing was trying to identify what kind of flowers Lanmei had brought along with her food delivery today. After trying for a long time and failing to figure it out, she gave up. She turned her wheelchair around and suddenly saw Lanmei. She was so scared that she almost jumped out of her wheelchair.
"Lan Mei?"
In the past, Lan Mei would leave after putting her things away, but Chen Nanxing did not expect that she would still be here today.
Lan Mei hesitated for a long time and seemed to have finally made a decision. She knelt down in front of Chen Nanxing and began to kowtow:
"Sister, can you help me? I want to study. I don't want to get married. I want to go back to school."
Chen Nanxing was caught off guard. In a panic, he didn't know whether to let Lanmei get up or tell her to stop knocking. He just quickly jumped up from the wheelchair holding Lihua. This was the scene that Ji Chuan saw when he came back from outside holding a bunch of vegetables.
"What's going on?"
Chen Nanxing didn't understand why Lanmei was making such a fuss, so she and Ji Chuan each took one hand to help Lanmei up from the ground.
"If you have something to say, sit down and talk it over. Stop it, get up quickly."
Ji Chuan also followed and advised: "Yes, sit down and talk."
Lanmei was asked to sit on a stool for eating. Chen Nanxing thought about what she had just said and decided to find out more about the situation.
"What grade are you in?"
She couldn't stop crying, and she looked particularly pitiful as she sobbed.
"Third grade."
Ji Chuan had also put the dishes away by this time and walked out of the kitchen waving his hands:
"Yeah, then the high school entrance exam is this summer, right?"
Lan Mei quickly raised her eyes to glance at Ji Chuan, then lowered her head and said "hmm" in a low voice.
Chen Nanxing was also surprised that Lanmei was actually in the third year of junior high school. She thought that Lanmei would at most graduate from elementary school and stop studying. She never expected that she was actually in junior high school, and in the third year at that. So it was extremely important to find out why she suddenly dropped out of the third year class.
"I see you live in a red brick house and you can go to the third grade of junior high school. Your family conditions are pretty good in this village. Why are you suddenly not allowed to study?"
What Chen Nanxing said made sense. Lan Mei seemed unwilling to answer this question. She bit her lips and refused to say anything. Chen Nanxing and Ji Chuan did not urge her.
After a while, Lan Mei realized that this was a question that had to be answered, so she lowered her voice and said:
"...My dad was arrested, and my mom and brother are missing..."
"What happened to your father?"
Although Chen Nanxing asked this, he already had a guess in his mind that was extremely close to the truth. Lan Mei's tears flew onto Chen Nanxing due to the movement of shaking her head.
"I don't know. They say my dad trafficked women..."
She knew it was shameful, but for her own sake she mustered up the courage to finish her words:
"My grandma wants to sell me to raise money for my dad so that he can get out earlier. Sister, I don't want to be sold to someone else as a wife. I want to continue studying. I want to go to the county high school. I want to go to college. Sister, please help me!"
After hearing that Lanmei's father was imprisoned for trafficking women, Chen Nanxing's expression remained cold:
"How do you want me to help you?"
Ji Chuan looked at Chen Nanxing weakly: "...Nanxing..."
Lan Mei buried her head deeply, and her tears as big as beans dripped onto her gray pants, splashing a stain. Chen Nanxing stopped Ji Chuan's actions with his eyes and sat quietly waiting for her to say the next words herself.
Lan Mei shook her head like a rattle:
"Sister, I don't know. I just want to continue studying..."
Chen Nanxing had already stood up holding Lihua. She was standing against the sunlight. Lanmei couldn't see her expression clearly, she only heard Chen Nanxing say.
"I need to think about this matter. You go back first."
Lan Mei's eyes dimmed, she picked up the bamboo basket on the ground and left. Just from her back, Chen Nanxing and Ji Chuan could feel her lost mood.
