C59 One's heart must be guarded against people
Lin Qing was perturbed. Now, how was she going to escape?
His toes touched the ground bit by bit, his face was tense, he placed his hands by his side, felt that something was wrong, and withdrew to his lower abdomen.
"Old Master Du, the joke has been played out. Shouldn't you get down to business?"
Her tone also turned cold.
"Miss Lin, since you're married, please take care of yourself. Don't get too close to my son …" Du Yue extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray and coughed lightly as he held onto the seat handle with both hands.
He tried his best to ignore the extremely conflicted expression on Lin Qing's face as she continued to speak. "Although I don't mind my son spreading the rumor, if news of this affair with a married woman spread, it wouldn't sound good in the end."
gritted his teeth as he heard the deprecation.
"Don't worry, I'm only interviewing him and am not the least bit selfish. From now on, I definitely won't get too close with Du Yuming."
"If you didn't have your own selfish thoughts, would you accept his gift?" Du Yue threw a disdainful look over, accompanied by a cold snort.
After choking to the point where he had no words to say, Lin Qing's eyes dimmed, but she could not refute him.
He really wanted to throw out that piece of paper, but there was a picture that she had taken with great difficulty, so he could only suppress his anger and say: "You misunderstand, this was borrowed by President Du for me to use, after borrowing it, I will return it."
"Do you think our Du Family needs you to pay back for a mere camera? If you were to take back the items that have already been taken out, do you think that the Du Clan would be in such a miserable state? "
It was obvious that she had drawn a strange circle. No matter how she spun, she could not escape.
Lin Qing was really tired of being toyed with by this kind of cat and mouse, and said with a straight face: "Chairman Du, I have finished saying what I should have said, but please clarify as to what it is, please enlighten me. I absolutely cannot give you the information. I hope you won't make things difficult for me again. You, as the dignified chairman of the Yuepin, with your great numbers and wise decisions, naturally wouldn't intentionally make things difficult for a small reporter like me. "
A double entendre, both flattering him and protecting himself.
Seeing her neither humble nor haughty look, Du Yue liked it so much that the roots of her teeth started to itch. Unfortunately, there was already someone who beat her to it, so she couldn't be his daughter-in-law anymore.
He stared at her for a long time. Finally, two words came out from between his teeth, "Let's go!"
Lin Qing trembled, suspecting that she had heard wrongly.
"Don't wait for me to change my mind." Du Yue suppressed his anger and turned around.
Although his heart was beating fiercely, Lin Qing still got off the car steadily.
Under the gaze of the two sunglasses wearing men, she walked steadily and upright, not flustered nor anxious, as if she had just gotten out of a car that she knew well without the slightest embarrassment.
With her current appearance, how could it be possible that she had just experienced a catastrophe?
Du Yue locked onto this tiny figure, and leisurely walked further and further away from his field of vision, sighing deeply.
"Chairman, are you just going to let her go? It's too easy on her. " The man who had been kicked into his lair was unable to calm down and asked unwillingly.
"Drive. Let's go." Du Yue ignored him and coldly ordered.
When he turned his head back, the carriage had already disappeared. Lin Qing wiped away her forehead, her hand dripping with cold sweat.
Could it be that she was a model who was focused on walking and did not even notice where they were? In any case, if there was a road beneath their feet, they could just continue forward, no matter where it led.
Just as he was looking around, he could faintly see the leaves of the planters behind the glass door as well as the lively and jumping music fountain in front of the door. All of these were extremely familiar — they were exactly beneath the Merchant Road office building!
He really didn't understand, what kind of strange habit was this Chairman Du to kidnap her and send her to the office building?
Fortunately, this information and the photos were still there.
Touching his beating heart, Lin Qing entered the café and drank a few cups of coffee before calming himself down.
Her drinking attitude made the waiter stare stupidly. He had never seen anyone drink coffee like this, as if it were white water. In comparison, those who were enjoying the coffee were too much of a loser.
Lin Qing did not care about how others viewed him, she drank her own coffee and let them see.
He paid the bill, wiped his mouth and left.
Even though she had gone through a series of ups and downs, she had finally gotten her hands on the information. It was enough for her to be proud and arrogant.
However, when she returned to her office, she opened the door very low-key. Seeing Sun Yuanyuan staring at the computer screen in a daze, bored out of her mind, she quietly went back to her seat to organize the information.
With the ticking time bomb by her side, Sun Yuanyuan did not allow her to show off, so she had to be careful.
"Some people really don't know how to take care of themselves when they say that their little brother was in a car accident. They came here especially for you, was their conscience eaten by a dog?"
She ignored Sun Yuanyuan, but Sun Yuanyuan did not plan on letting her go. After holding back for a long time, she turned her head back and fiercely threw a supercilious look at her.
Pausing to organize his thoughts, the corner of Lin Qing's mouth twitched. Crap, the moment I left Yuepin, I was kidnapped, I really forgot about Lu Ziqing's accident.
He took out his phone and made a few calls, but he couldn't get through.
Looking at the crack on the wall, Zhang Xuan thought that it was an external injury. Seems like it had also been broken.
Lin Qing picked up her phone and dialed Lu Ziqing's number: "Xiao Lu, aiya, it's Sister Lin. I'm back, how's the situation over at your side?"
"Sister Lin, was the interview going smoothly over there?"
"Mm, not bad." He intentionally left his words unfilled.
"Sister Lin, don't worry. We went to the hospital to check on that person, and only lost a bit of money.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Qing calmed herself down and continued to process the information.
By the time Lu Ziqing and the photographer returned to the magazine, it was already noon. At this time, Lin Qing was still busy sitting in her seat, frowning and staring at the computer screen as if she was flying.
Bang, a fast food box fell in front of her. Lin Qing suddenly raised his head and bent over to place his elbow on the desk. He rested his chin on his hands and smiled at her.
"Ah, you're back. Are you alright? Everything's fine, how did you get into a car accident? We, the chauffeurs, are veteran chauffeurs. We've never had an accident …"
It was unknown how long he had been staring at her, nor did he know when he came in. Lin Qing's face was a little hot, and she was not used to being stared at like this either, so she stood up from her seat.
Lu Ziqing winked his eyes, and pointed to the fast food box: "Sister Lin, I knew you were working hard, you must still have not eaten, quickly eat your lunch, your health is more important. The matter of the morning is over, don't worry about it. "
Looking at the box, Lin Qing felt extremely embarrassed.
"Little Lu, it's rare for you to be so attentive, and to rush back this morning. If it wasn't for Sun Yuanyuan's sarcastic remarks, saying that you were in a car accident, I would have forgotten about it …"
She was so careless, how could she match Lu Ziqing's carefulness? He still remembered to bring her lunch. Lin Qing blushed.
Lu Ziqing stopped smiling, stood up, and said while frowning: "Strange, we didn't call the unit, even your phone was hung up in a hurry, how did Sun Yuanyuan know about this?"
"Huh?"
Lin Qing raised her eyebrows, feeling that this was a little strange.
Lu Ziqing's face was gloomy, looking towards the empty seats, he saw that Lin Qing's expression was not right, so he took the initiative to open the snack box, and carefully pulled the outer shell of the chopsticks into her hands, his face once again flushed with happiness: "Forget it, she's a person who only fears the chaos in the world, ignore her. "Hurry up and eat. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
The color of the dish was obviously not bad. Lin Qing chewed on it with relish, then suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and hooked her fingers at Lu Ziqing.
"Little Lu, our interview is a success today. For this, don't talk about it. No one can talk about it. Only the two of us know about it. We'll talk about it in the morning …" You can't let your guard down, understand? " Her eyes glanced at Sun Yuanyuan's position.
Lu Ziqing nodded heavily. "Don't worry Sister Lin, I know what I'm doing."
After half a day, Lin Qing was so tired that her eyes were blurry.
Her physical exhaustion from the kidnapping this morning was the reason why she had drunk so many cups of coffee in one go. If it wasn't for the coffee, she probably wouldn't be able to last this long.
Looking at the printout in his hands and the newly designed picture on the cover, he felt a sense of accomplishment.
In order to speed up the process and keep it confidential, she had taken over the work of the design department.
After all, today was the deadline set by the editors. They had finally decided everything on the final day, and the meeting tomorrow morning would finally be over.
Ding ling ling — The landline on the desk rang.
Lin Qing's first reaction was mostly to be an editor, so she picked it up: "Hello?"
"Why did you turn off your phone?" The low, cold male voice slowly spilled out, carrying a deep sense of dissatisfaction.
Lin Qing's heart tensed up, she glanced at his phone which was on strike, and smiled helplessly: "My phone is broken."
This was the only excuse he could use to get away with this. Mu Xichen, who was on the other side of the phone, hummed in a low voice and no longer pursued the details. He only urged: "Come down, I'm downstairs."
Lin Qing put down the microphone and ran over to the window to have a look. Sure enough, she saw that familiar Maserati.
"I'll be right down!"
Putting the manuscript in a drawer, locking it, making sure everything was all right, she hurried downstairs, hugged the man and gave him a big kiss as soon as she got in the car.
Mu Xichen's eyes lit up when she was suddenly kissed, and his eyes drooped down as he observed her expression.
"I've done everything today. We need to hurry and help CEO Mu with all our might!" She was in an extremely good mood as she laughed heartily, jumping about like a child. However, she did not mention anything about the accident that Chairman Du had created today.
She decided to keep it in her stomach.
Mu Xichen's expression remained calm as he started the car. He glanced at her and asked, "What did you learn from this?"
Lin Qing blinked his eyes. She didn't understand what he meant, and after that, she rolled his eyes and said enlightenment: "If I encounter any difficulties in the future, I will definitely ask for my husband's help."
These words were said by the extremely proud and arrogant Ye Ci with a hint of flattery.
However, the man driving the car did not appreciate her kindness and faintly said, "It's not thorough enough."
Summing up the whole idea was her forte, but this time, Lin Qing racked his brains and couldn't find the right words to say.
"You have to learn to squash your husband's value to your heart's content."
It was completely not Mu Xichen's style to say such frank words.
Lin Qing's face turned red and her heart started beating faster. Her pair of small hands were kneading the air, not knowing where to place it.
"You remembered it?" However, the man still asked angrily.
"Yes." Her face was red as she nodded, completely confused.
The car was not very fast originally, but a black Jaguar suddenly appeared from the side of the car and flew past it.
Mu Xichen squinted his eyes, he glanced at the lady in the front passenger seat who was frowning in pain, his heart sinking: "What's wrong?"
Lin Qing held onto her knees, gritting her teeth as she shook her head: "Nothing, nothing."
Mu Xichen pushed her hand away without saying a word and carefully rolled up the pants from the bottom to the top. He saw a large bruise on her knee with traces of blood on it.
He rolled up the other trouser leg, and the same went for him.
"To be injured like this, you dare say that it's fine?"
His toes touched the ground bit by bit, his face was tense, he placed his hands by his side, felt that something was wrong, and withdrew to his lower abdomen.
"Old Master Du, the joke has been played out. Shouldn't you get down to business?"
Her tone also turned cold.
"Miss Lin, since you're married, please take care of yourself. Don't get too close to my son …" Du Yue extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray and coughed lightly as he held onto the seat handle with both hands.
He tried his best to ignore the extremely conflicted expression on Lin Qing's face as she continued to speak. "Although I don't mind my son spreading the rumor, if news of this affair with a married woman spread, it wouldn't sound good in the end."
gritted his teeth as he heard the deprecation.
"Don't worry, I'm only interviewing him and am not the least bit selfish. From now on, I definitely won't get too close with Du Yuming."
"If you didn't have your own selfish thoughts, would you accept his gift?" Du Yue threw a disdainful look over, accompanied by a cold snort.
After choking to the point where he had no words to say, Lin Qing's eyes dimmed, but she could not refute him.
He really wanted to throw out that piece of paper, but there was a picture that she had taken with great difficulty, so he could only suppress his anger and say: "You misunderstand, this was borrowed by President Du for me to use, after borrowing it, I will return it."
"Do you think our Du Family needs you to pay back for a mere camera? If you were to take back the items that have already been taken out, do you think that the Du Clan would be in such a miserable state? "
It was obvious that she had drawn a strange circle. No matter how she spun, she could not escape.
