At this moment, Lin Zhibai quickly spoke up again, saying, "Brother Qin, this was my mistake, and I am willing to accept the punishment! Whatever the punishment may be, I will have no complaints!"
Qin Shisheng put down his cigarette, stood up, and slowly walked to Lin Zhibai, looking down at him.
"Remember, this is the first time, but there must never be a next time! If we need others to help us deal with our enemies, we won't be able to hold our positions."
"I don't need to explain this simple and easy-to-understand principle, do I?" Qin Shisheng's words struck Lin Zhibai's heart like a heavy hammer.
"Yes, President Qin, I know I was wrong! I will never make the same mistake again!" Lin Zhibai lowered his head deeply, his face full of shame.
"What's the situation with the person who replaced Gangzi?" He frowned slightly and then asked.
“No problem at all!” Lin Zhibai quickly straightened up and replied respectfully.
"Hmm...you make the arrangements. Bring him to see me when you have time."
"Furthermore, you performed poorly this time, so go and receive your punishment!" He was expressionless, his tone so cold it seemed capable of freezing anyone instantly.
Lin Zhibai didn't dare to delay for a moment. He immediately stood up and loudly replied, "Yes, Brother Qin!" Then he prepared to turn around and leave.
However, at that moment, he suddenly said, "Wait, there's something else. Yao Qian said she wants to go back to Yuancheng tomorrow. Arrange for Ye Zimei to go back with her and have Ye Zimei keep a close eye on her."
"Okay, Brother Qin!" Lin Zhibai replied respectfully again, then hurriedly withdrew to begin the process.
The next morning, sunlight shone through the thin clouds and fell softly on the earth.
I remember last night, Qin Shisheng specifically told me in bed to have Ye Zimei take me back to Yuancheng.
I know perfectly well that this is just him having someone keep an eye on my actions; ultimately, it shows he doesn't trust me enough.
Ye Zimei arrived in front of me early in her bright red BMW.
Today, Sister Ye was dressed simply and modestly, wearing a snow-white short-sleeved shirt and a gray long skirt. Despite the ordinary attire, she still exuded a unique charm from her appearance.
As soon as I saw her car slowly come to a stop, I rushed forward like an arrow to greet her: "Sister Ye! Thank you for taking me back to Yuancheng."
"Don't mention it, it's nothing," Sister Ye said with a slight smile.
Then, as if casually, she asked, "How have things been going with you and Master Qin lately?"
Hearing this question, a slight ripple of unease stirred within me, and I answered somewhat hesitantly, "It's alright, I guess!"
"Actually, ever since you finished dancing that day, Master Qin's eyes have been filled with deep affection for you. I'm afraid he won't be able to let you go for a while!" Sister Ye said as she drove smoothly, carefully analyzing the current situation for me.
She asked with great curiosity, "But speaking of which, how come you dance so well?"
“My mother is a folk dance teacher, and I can only capture half of her essence in my dancing,” I said modestly.
"However, I really hate dancing... After all, dancing carries the memories of my deceased mother for me." I lowered my head, my voice growing softer and softer, as if it were coming from underground, as I muttered softly.
Hearing my complaint, Sister Ye turned around, looked at me with sharp eyes, and then comforted me with a warm smile, saying, "In life, there will always be many times when we are helpless, but even when we are in adversity, we must learn to find some comfort for ourselves, right?"
After hearing Sister Ye's words, I could only give a helpless, bitter smile...
I went to the store and picked up the beautiful cake I had ordered in advance for my brother.
When they arrived at their apartment building, Sister Ye did not get out of the car.
"I won't go in. I'll stay at the hotel next door for the night. Don't even think about running away, or you'll get me into trouble..." she reminded me.
"I know!"
She smiled slightly, turned and left.
I slowly pushed open the door and immediately saw my brother sitting on the sofa, his head bowed, looking handsome and dazzling in the sunset.
The older brother slowly raised his head.
Upon seeing me, his previously dull eyes instantly lit up with joy, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up: "Qianqian, you're back."
"Yes!" I replied, carefully placing the cake on the table and gently peeling off the wrapper.
"Yes! Let's light the candles and make a wish." I carefully opened the cake and placed the candles like stars.
The older brother, in his usual gentle tone, softly asked, "Qianqian, is work at the hospital busy?"
However, I did not respond at that moment.
My thoughts have already drifted far away, and I don't know how to answer this question.
So I quickly changed the subject and asked impatiently, "Brother, how's business at your restaurant lately?" As I said this, I tried to make my voice sound relaxed and cheerful.
Hearing my question, my brother was slightly taken aback at first, then turned to me and slowly said, "It's alright! But, little sister, why did you suddenly ask that?"
His eyes revealed a hint of doubt and concern.
I took a deep breath and mustered my courage to suggest, "Brother, how about we go live in the South together? I've heard it's beautiful with clear waters and lush mountains, and the climate is lovely. It must be much better than here!"
After I finished speaking, I looked at my brother with anticipation.
