Chapter 47 When will it be someone else’s turn to protect his woman?
Outside the bathroom.
Qiao Xuan'an had a dark face and started questioning as soon as he opened his mouth.
"What's going on?"
"What's going on?"
Qu Ge looked innocent.
Seeing that she still dared to play dumb, Qiao Xu'an was furious.
"Shouldn't you explain this to me, Assistant Qu?"
"Oh, you mean this."
Qu Ge responded indifferently, as if he didn't think it was a very important matter.
"Didn't I tell you this morning that I was going to school to ask Sister Wen Jing about an internship? She was the one who recommended me for an interview at the Black Orchid Group. I also just found out that Gus is meeting you tonight."
"that's all?"
"Yeah, what else?"
Qu Ge spread his hands and met Qiao Xuan's gaze without dodging.
There wasn't a single word of falsehood in her explanation just now, so there was no need for her to feel guilty.
But Qiao Xian didn't believe it.
He stared at her with a frown, his eyes filled with cold questioning.
"You know I hate it most when people lie to me."
"If you don't believe me, you can always call Sister Wenjing and ask. Besides, you've always had people watching me, right?"
Just like last time, Qu Ge clearly didn't tell Qiao Xuan that she was going to the hospital, but he still knew it.
She couldn't even imagine how many pairs of his "eyes" were around her.
Hearing her words, Qiao Xu'an was stunned.
It is undeniable that he did send people to follow her every day.
But he did it only because he was afraid.
He was afraid that she would suddenly disappear from his side like last time...
"I did this to protect you, that's why..."
"I know, I don't blame you." Qu Ge interrupted him and threw the words back, "We've been together for three years. I believe that everything you do is for my own good and will not hurt me. What about you? Why don't you believe me?"
Faced with Qu Ge's questioning, Qiao Xuan was speechless for a moment.
If he were to ask himself honestly, he didn't deserve her trust at all.
She said she trusted him not to hurt her.
But to this day, she still has scars on her back from the last time he whipped her...
In just this short month, she had suffered countless injuries because of him!
Even so, she was still willing to trust him and stay with him.
What about him?
What did he do again?
At this moment, he was still doubting her and questioning her...
Qu Ge's words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing Qiao Xuan's anger.
He softened his tone: "Xiaoge, of course I believe you. I'm just worried that you will be taken advantage of."
"You mean, Gus is using me?"
"Qiao is now interested in cooperating with the Black Orchid Group. I've been in contact with Gus for some time. You saw it at the last dinner. He was arrogant towards Qiao and deliberately made things difficult for my people when we met several times."
"But since he's also interested in cooperating with Qiao's, why is he putting on such a show?"
Qu Ge pretended to be surprised, making Qiao Xuan think that she was completely out of the situation.
But in fact, she knew better than anyone that the reason why Gus kept changing his mind and refused to sign the contract was because of Rong Zhoubai's instructions.
All domestic affairs of the Heilan Group are under the full control of Rong Zhoubai.
If Rong Zhubai didn't nod, Gus would have no right to act on his own.
Qu Ge understood all these connections as soon as he saw Rong Zhoubai today.
But Qiao Xian was kept in the dark.
"Maybe he thinks the conditions offered by Qiao's company are not good enough and wants to make more money from it. I came to meet him in person today just to find out his intentions."
"Anyway, I don't want you to be involved in these things."
"You're just a college student who hasn't even graduated yet, but Gus wants you to be his assistant. He must have noticed our relationship and wants to use you to test my cards."
There was a hint of displeasure between Qiao Xuan's brows, obviously feeling that Qu Ge's appearance tonight had disrupted his plans.
He has always disliked this kind of unexpected changes.
Without waiting for Qu Ge to speak, he said in a deep voice: "Xiao Ge, if you need an internship opportunity, I can arrange for you to join Qiao's at any time. As for Hei Lan, just quit."
Qiao Xuan was not discussing with Qu Ge at all, but giving an unquestionable order.
This kind of thing has happened countless times in the past three years.
During his sophomore year, Qu Ge joined the student union.
Because she often had dinner and activities with other members, which made Qiao Xuan unhappy, he took the initiative to have someone help her submit an application to withdraw from the club.
Later, Qiao Xuan said that he didn't like Qu Ge's part-time job at an off-campus bookstore.
He simply bought the bookstore where she worked part-time, so she wouldn't have to go there anymore...
He has always been so arbitrary and made decisions for her without asking her opinion.
"Xiaoge, you should know that I'm doing this for your own good."
If that were the case, Qu Ge would have already gotten tired of hearing it.
She was not his appendage.
She should never let him control her life!
"I'm not going to quit."
"What?"
Qiao Xuan thought he had misheard.
Qu Ge repeated without hesitation: "I said, I will not resign, I want to stay in Helan."
"Xiao Ge, didn't you understand what I just said?"
There was a hint of anger in Qiao Xuan's tone.
His preference for Qu Ge has always been based on her being well-behaved and obedient.
Once she disobeys him and doesn't do what he says, he may take back this "feeling" at any time.
Feeling the coldness in Qiao Xuan's eyes, Qu Ge felt disgusted, but a gentle smile quickly appeared on his face.
"Of course I know what you mean. But I chose to stay to help you."
"help me?"
"Didn't you say that Gus has been making things difficult for Qiao and refused to sign the contract?" Qu Ge said, "Since he wants to use me, why can't you take advantage of him?"
Qu Ge didn't need to explain too much, Qiao Xuan immediately understood what she meant.
Putting her next to Gus is undoubtedly the fastest way to find out the internal information of the Black Orchid Group.
However, he could think of this, and Gus certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to be completely defenseless against his people.
Gus had long known about the relationship between Qu Ge and him.
It is simply impossible for her to gain Gus's complete trust and get Helan's trump card.
unless……
She was willing to take risks and steal the information he wanted!
"No, it's too dangerous for you."
Qiao Xuan immediately rejected Qu Ge's idea.
However, his attitude did not seem very firm, and there was still hesitation in his tone.
Qu Ge had long guessed that he was reluctant to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Saying that he was worried about her being in danger was just polite talk.
She went along with it and acted along with him: "Don't worry, I will definitely protect myself. I know that the Qiao Group is in a very bad situation now. Seeing you so busy every day, I feel bad too. If I can help you by staying in Heilan, I will be very happy too."
Every line of the song is full of true feelings.
She insisted again and again, and Qiao Xuan finally gave in.
"Do you really want to stay in Heilan so much?"
"Well, Sister Wenjing said this opportunity is rare, I want to try it."
"Okay, then let's do as you say."
Qiao Xuan nodded.
However, he didn't completely believe Qu Ge in his heart.
During this period, he had actually thought of many ways to place spies around Gus, but he never succeeded.
And now, Qu Ge became Gus's assistant so easily.
If something is too coincidental, it is no longer a coincidence.
However, Qiao Xuan was not completely sure which side Qu Ge was on at this moment.
As far as he knew, Qu Ge and Gus had no connection at all and had never met before.
She had no reason to help Gus.
Unless, she had another reason to go to Heilan...
Qiao Xun felt uneasy.
He asked Qu Ge to go back to the box first, and then he sent a message to Bai Chuan to check her whereabouts for the whole day.
A few minutes later.
The news conveyed by Baichuan was exactly the same as what Qu Ge said.
"Ms. Qu went to Jiangda early in the morning and met with Professor Hu Wenjing. In the afternoon, she took a taxi to the Black Orchid Building. An hour later, she came out with Gus and went directly to the place you agreed to meet."
"Also, I found out that the Black Orchid Group sent an email to Professor Hu Wenjing a few days ago, hoping to hire her as a financial advisor for their domestic branch."
"Chairman, do you need someone to talk to Professor Hu?"
Watertight.
All the details matched.
Hu Wenjing and Qu Ge have a good relationship, and Qiao Xuan has known this for a long time.
Could it be that this is really just a coincidence?
Through the half-open door, Qiao Xuan'an's eyes fell on Qu Ge's clean and bright face.
This woman whom he once knew very well has now become a mystery that he can never solve!
…
In the private room, the drinking party was halfway through.
Vice President Zhang, who came with Qiao Xu'an, probably had a few too many drinks. He suddenly raised his glass and said to Qu Ge with a smile, "Miss Qu, why haven't you touched a single sip tonight? Come, let me toast you!"
Qu Ge can't drink now.
She picked up the water glass and was about to use water instead of wine, but she saw Gus's wine glass suddenly blocking her way.
"Assistant Qu hasn't been feeling well lately and can't drink. I'll drink this for her."
No one expected Gus to take the initiative to stand up and defend Qu Ge.
The way he protected her behind him immediately stung Qiao Xuan's eyes.
Qiao Xuan's hand, which was about to stop Vice President Zhang, was frozen in mid-air, and he didn't know whether he should move forward.
There was a fierce look in his eyes, and the chill around him almost froze the air in the entire box.
Qu Ge is obviously his woman!
When will it be another man's turn to protect her? !
Moreover, it happened in front of him!
Qiao Xuan regretted it instantly.
He shouldn't have agreed to let Qu Ge continue to stay in Heilan!
Qiao Xuan had a gloomy face until the end of the dinner.
Gus had noticed that something was wrong with his expression, but he said nothing.
A group of people came to the door.
Gus took the initiative to suggest that Qu Ge send Qiao Xuan back.
"Take good care of Chairman Qiao for me."
There was something hidden in his words and his smile was ambiguous.
Qu Ge helped Qiao Xu'an into the car.
Before the driver could close the car door, Qiao Xuan couldn't wait to grab her wrist and pull her into his arms...
