The photo was taken at the beach, but in the far corner, there was a very familiar figure.
The woman seemed unaware of the camera's presence, her face turned to the side, a faint smile on her pretty and bright face.
Shen Yanqing's hands trembled uncontrollably. This was... Weiwei, she was really still alive!
Chen Xiaotong looked down and saw that her boss Shen's hands were also trembling. She was a little confused. Could it be that the boss Shen was nervous when he went on stage? That shouldn't be the case.
Just as she was lost in thought, she met Shen Yanqing's deep eyes, which were filled with suppressed emotions: "Where is the fishing village you mentioned? Take me there now."
It must be said that this famous CEO Shen is indeed decisive and efficient.
Chen Xiaotong still felt a little unreal even after boarding Shen Yanqing's private jet.
For the sake of her business plan, President Shen actually made a grand gesture by visiting her small fishing village.
With that level of dedication, no wonder he's a CEO!
She thought that after the plan was proposed, it would take at least a few months to actually start, but she didn't expect that President Shen would make the decision on the spot.
Does that mean she'll get a lot of commission if this project is successful?
As Chen Xiaotong was happily thinking about it, she discovered that the plane had already landed outside the familiar fishing village.
Shen Yanqing took out the printed photo, pointed to the corner, and asked her, "Who is the person in this photo?"
Chen Xiaotong took a closer look, and when she saw who he was pointing at, her gaze towards Shen Yanqing instantly became complicated.
But remembering that this person was her boss, she carefully explained, "This is Sister Qi Yue. I probably took this picture by accident when I was taking photos."
"Surname Qi?"
Shen Yanqing frowned, and after a moment of silence, asked, "Where does she live? Who does she live with?"
Chen Xiaotong was surprised that President Shen paid so much attention to Qi Yue. She was even more astonished. Wasn't President Shen supposed to be indifferent to women? Why did he seem so interested in Sister Qi Yue?
However, the story of the siblings was not a secret in the village.
Chen Xiaotong then briefly explained it to Shen Yanqing.
Qi Yue and her younger brother Qi Yu came here a year ago. They were injured at the time, so they stayed in the village to recuperate. After they recovered, they said they liked the place very much, so they decided to settle down here.
Both of them were very beautiful, especially Qi Yue, whose face was even more beautiful than that of TV stars. Many young men in the village liked her, but Qi Yu protected her like the apple of his eye, and wouldn't even let others look at her twice.
She remembered that when they first arrived here, a local thug harassed Qi Yue and was beaten black and blue by Qi Yu.
Qi Yu looks refined and gentle, but she is quick and ruthless in her attacks, and she fights as if she doesn't care about her life.
From then on, the men in the village dared not provoke Qi Yue again.
Qi Yue is not only beautiful, but also has a great personality. However, she seems to have a bad memory; she often doesn't recognize people she hasn't seen for a few days.
Qi Yu explained that his sister had suffered a serious brain injury, which affected her memory.
Shen Yanqing listened to her story with his eyes lowered, his hand holding the photo slowly tightening. A year ago was the time when Gu Baiwei jumped into the sea.
He paused for two seconds, then said, "Take me to her house."
Chen Xiaotong was a little surprised. Wasn't she here to discuss the resort? Why was she going to find Sister Qi Yue?
But this person was her direct superior, and she couldn't afford to offend him, so she had no choice but to agree.
As they spoke, the two had already arrived at Qi Yu's door.
Chen Xiaotong walked over and knocked on the door: "Sister Qi Yue, are you home?"
I knocked for a long time but no one answered.
"Strange, she should be home at this time. Sister Qi Yue rarely goes out."
Chen Xiaotong was a little puzzled, so she suggested to Shen Yanqing, "President Shen, my home is nearby. Why don't you and this gentleman come to my house for a while?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Big Head, who was wearing sunglasses and looked menacing, next to her.
This guy looks like President Shen's personal bodyguard. He's bald, wearing a black suit and sunglasses. He's tall and strong, and he looks like someone you don't want to mess with.
Big Head noticed her gaze and grinned, revealing a set of big white teeth.
Chen Xiaotong immediately looked away. Was he threatening me? How scary.
"Do you have her phone number? Call her and ask where she is."
Shen Yanqing stood by the door without moving, and spoke calmly, not feeling at all that he was being presumptuous.
Chen Xiaotong didn't dare to say anything more, since the other party was the boss.
"I don't know Sister Qi Yue's phone number. Please wait a moment while I call my mom to ask."
Chen Xiaotong's mother is Chen Xia. Because she lives close to Qi Yue's house, Qi Yu often asks her to take care of Qi Yue when she goes out.
After saying that, she went to the side to call Chen Xia.
Shen Yanqing stood still, calmly observing the house in front of her.
The house looks relatively new; it appears to have been recently painted.
There's a small vegetable garden near the entrance, divided into several sections, where scallions, garlic sprouts, eggplants, cucumbers, and more are grown...
Each area has a small sign with the name of each vegetable and planting instructions written in neat and beautiful handwriting.
Shen Yanqing's gaze swept over them one by one. Just as he saw Xiao Cong, Chen Xiaotong ran back with her phone: "President Shen, I found out. I'll call Sister Qi Yue right away."
As he spoke, he took out his phone to call Qi Yue.
Before he could even dial, he was interrupted by Shen Yanqing's cold voice: "Give me the number."
"ah?"
"I'll do it myself."
How presumptuous of you! Although Sister Qi Yue is very beautiful, Mr. Shen, aren't you going a bit too far?
Chen Xiaotong was so surprised his mouth could have fit an egg. What happened to his aloof and celibate persona? He seems rather impatient...
Just as she was unconsciously imagining a domineering CEO's forced love, Shen Yanqing impatiently urged, "Number."
"Oh? Okay, okay."
What could she say? She could only pray that Sister Qi Yue would have good fortune, since she was just a lowly, pitiful, and weak working-class person.
"Go back and add a bonus."
Shen Yanqing casually mentioned it, and Chen Xiaotong's eyes immediately lit up. She handed him her phone: "Mr. Shen, here's the number."
Her fawning attitude wasn't for the bonus; she simply thought President Shen was a good person, and it would be good for Sister Qi Yue to get to know him.
With just a glance at the number on her phone, Shen Yanqing memorized it perfectly.
He took a deep breath and pressed the numbers one by one. The moment the bell rang, he even calmed his breathing.
The phone rang again and again before a familiar, pleasant female voice finally came from the other end: "Hello!"
“Weiwei…it’s me.”
Shen Yanqing barely managed to control her emotions and spoke.
After he finished speaking, there was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.
Just as he was eagerly awaiting a response, Gu Baiwei hung up the phone without hesitation.
Hearing the dial tone from the phone receiver, Mr. Shen, who was being hung up on for the first time in his life, immediately turned pale.
He had imagined countless scenarios of their reunion, but he never expected this one: she actually hung up on him.
