Chapter 2044: Coincidence

While waiting for the programmer to give her the code, Ye Qingqiu’s phone rang.

It was a message from Luo Luo.

“Sorry, sorry. I just finished filming. The wedding gown is so beautiful! I like it just by looking at the photo. I want to see it with my own eyes…”

Luoluo’s reaction exposed a girl’s thoughts.

Ye Qingqiu was naturally happy that other girls liked her wedding gown.

“Sure, come and take a look.”

“I can’t do it today. I don’t have any scenes tomorrow night! How about tomorrow night? [Star Eyes] [Rubbing hands] [Praying]”

There were several expressions.

Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow and said, “Tomorrow is Friday… Alright, let’s watch it after dinner.”

“Ahhh, okay!! Love you!!”

“Okay. You may leave.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Ever since her career had improved, Luoluo had become more confident and lively.

The two of them became more and more familiar with each other.

His grandfather and father’s news fell on deaf ears.

Ye Qingqiu was used to it. Didn’t older people like to reply text messages?

She put away her phone and looked at the computer screen.

“Are you almost done?”

“Give me another two minutes, Madam.”

“Oh.” She propped her chin and sighed in boredom. “Have you programmers written about viruses before? For example, planting a virus on a hard drive, destroying someone’s system, or hacking someone’s computer remotely to steal trade secrets?”

“The virus can be written, but it’s a targeted program. There are very few of them. We usually accept software development requests or help them upgrade the software and strengthen the firewall. Regarding remote control of other people’s computers and stealing confidential information, computers with commercial secrets won’t let us break through easily. Just like the computers in everyone’s hands now, our firewall was specially written by a top engineer from overseas. We also have protection and reinforcement. There won’t be any problems.”

Ye Qingqiu replied, “Oh, so if you really want to steal the company’s secrets, there can only be a spy in our company?”

“That’s true, but this is a commercial crime. No one will do such a thing.”

“Oh.”

“It’s done, Madam.”

“Yes?”

Ye Qingqiu looked at the computer screen and saw a cartoon character in a suit. He had long eyebrows and black eyes. His brows were slightly furrowed. His Q-shaped image was clearly cute, but no matter how she looked at it, his face was cold. His arrogant and serious look was indeed like Li Tingshen’s.

She couldn’t help but laugh. “So Li Tingshen is like this in your eyes.”

The programmer sat up straight and said, “President Li is wise and powerful, and has the demeanor of a leader. Madam, please show mercy.”

Ye Qingqiu laughed until tears flowed out. “…Get up and let me take a look.”

The programmer gave up his seat and told Ye Qingqiu a few game buttons.

Ye Qingqiu made a move. When she swung her fist, there were sounds of punches and bruises on her face.

In an instant, Ye Qingqiu burst into laughter.

She couldn’t imagine how Li Tingshen would look like in reality.

For such a simple game, Ye Qingqiu played it for more than half an hour. If Li Tingshen hadn’t returned to the office and couldn’t find her, he would have guessed that she would have come to the engineering department to harm these people and bring her up.

The entire office was filled with her giggles.

The programmer, who had been standing beside Ye Qingqiu, saw Li Tingshen suddenly charging over with a dark expression. Then, he looked at the screen where CEO Li’s version of “Warrior” was being beaten up crazily. He was so frightened that his legs went limp.

“Madam…”

Ye Qingqiu was having fun and ignored him.

“CEO… CEO Li…”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of typing in the office had stopped, making Ye Qingqiu’s computer sound even more ear-piercing.

Ye Qingqiu also realized that something was amiss. Then, she sensed a gust of cold air behind her.

She turned her head instinctively and met Li Tingshen’s dark and terrifying eyes.

The impact was too great. She couldn’t help but blink.

Li Tingshen glanced at the computer screen with a cold expression. “Is it fun?”

“It’s fun.”

“Is it satisfying?”

“… It’s alright.”

Li Tingshen laughed, but it sounded terrifying.

“Do I have to thank you for raising your spirits in advance?”

Ye Qingqiu was speechless.

This man was actually talking dirty in public!

Li Tingshen bent down and grabbed her arm, lifting her up. “Let’s continue when we get home.”

Continue what? Continue!

“No need. I’ve had enough fun. I don’t want to play anymore.”

He pulled her into his embrace and pressed his palm against her skin. His body suddenly felt weak.

“It’s rare to see you so happy. I should work harder.”

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Ye Qingqiu was forcefully abducted by Li Tingshen.

Everyone in the engineering department heaved a sigh of relief.

Oh my god!

*

After getting into the car, Ye Qingqiu distanced herself from Li Tingshen.

“I’m just playing a game. Don’t always find excuses to bully me.”

Seeing Ye Qingqiu shrink into a ball, Xiao Chu couldn’t help but smile. She started the car and allowed the two of them to bicker.

“What kind of place is the engineering department? They work overtime every day to catch up on their progress. If you go there, it will delay their time to play games for you.”

Ye Qingqiu couldn’t refute him. “That’s because I’m trying to understand the situation of the people. That’s why I realized that it’s really hard on them. You should consider increasing their salary.”

“I should have done as much as I paid you. Now that I have to serve you every day, I should indeed increase my salary.”

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and said, “It’s mainly because you bullied them. They’re just taking responsibility for you. You deserve the raise.”

“I bullied you?” Li Tingshen glanced at her and pulled her over. He held the back of her neck and smiled faintly.

“How did I bully you, huh?”

Ye Qingqiu held her breath and said, “Did you know that Gao Gong skipped work today?”

He was obviously changing the topic.

Li Tingshen narrowed his eyes. “Does it have anything to do with you?”

“I’m reminding you to care about your subordinates.”

Glancing at her indifferently, Li Tingshen turned his head and glanced at the gradually stopping traffic in front of him. He said to Xiao Chu, “Call him.”

“Okay.”

It was a red light.

Xiao Chu immediately dialed the number.

The phone rang for more than ten seconds before it was picked up.

“Hello… Hello… Special Assistant Xiao?”

The high-level worker sounded a little nervous. Xiao Chu asked, “What’s wrong with him?”

“No… something cropped up at the last minute, so I didn’t have time to apply for leave… Are you here to interrogate CEO Li…”

Xiao Chu said calmly, “No, CEO Li is beside me. Tell him yourself.”

“Ah, CEO Li… CEO Li is here…”

“No matter how urgent the matter is, you don’t even have a minute to call and apply for leave?” Li Tingshen’s deep and cold voice sounded. Ye Qingqiu was used to it, but her voice trembled even more.

“I’m sorry, CEO Li. I won’t do it again… It’s just that… I might not be able to make it back in the next two days. I want to take this opportunity to apply for a few more days of leave from CEO Li…”

“Friday tomorrow, followed by the weekend. You won’t be back in three days?”

“Three days… Three days is enough. Thank you, CEO Li.”

“Yeah.”

After hanging up, Ye Qingqiu leaned against the cushion and said lazily,

“That high-level worker is more than a round older than you, right? What kind of living King of Hell are you? How can you scare someone like that with a phone call? You’re stuttering and trembling. You sound like you’re about to cry.”

“I’m the one who gave him a high salary. He angered his parents and lost his job. He probably has nowhere to cry.”

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and looked out of the window. There were two or three girls walking side by side with ice cream.

Yes, she could have ice cream with Luo Luo tomorrow.

Tomorrow, Luo Luo.

“Oh right, I won’t be having dinner with you tomorrow night. I’m meeting Luoluo to play.”

“What time will you be back?”

“I’m not sure. Luoluo rarely comes out. Let’s have a meal, watch a movie, or go somewhere? Anyway, I’ll definitely be back before midnight.”

“Ten at the latest. Otherwise, don’t go out.”

Ye Qingqiu said, “Am I not worthy of living overnight?”

“Is the nightlife I gave you not enough to satisfy you?”

“Cough… Cough, cough…”

Xiao Chu, who was driving seriously, choked.

Damn.

He didn’t expect CEO Li to be like this.

Ye Qingqiu’s face looked as though it had been boiled.

Being a hooligan was more shameless than being a hooligan.

*

Ye Qingqiu had booked a restaurant in advance. It was the restaurant Li Tingshen had brought Liang Xuer to on the day she was discharged.

Luo Luo’s evaluation was naturally the highest.

After dinner, the two of them made an appointment for a movie. They went out to buy two ice creams and ate them as they strolled.

Summer nights were the busiest.

There were many people in the square, and the two of them chatted the most about Ye Qingqiu’s wedding.

Now they were talking about the best man and bridesmaid.

“As for the bridesmaid, you. As for the best man… Ye Ze is definitely included.”

“Shouldn’t the best man look at CEO Li’s arrangements?”

“Oh… the more the merrier! If not, let Ye Ze join my bridesmaid team.”

Luoluo was amused. “Let him wear female clothes?”

“I’m just afraid that if I really say that, he will still do it.”

“Wow, I dote on you so much.”

Ye Qingqiu replied, “It’s your first time knowing?”

In the cinema, there was a promotional board in the hall. Super clear electronic posters of celebrities appeared one after another.

Luoluo was more or less famous now. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she wore a hat.

There were many people in the waiting area. Two of them took their tickets and scanned the celebrities on the electronic posters.

Several of them were artists under C&P.

“Oh right, I saw Liang Xuer in the movie. Let’s change the venue today. Her production team is coming to our place.” Perhaps the celebrity on the poster had triggered Luo Luo’s memory.

Ye Qingqiu didn’t have much of a reaction. “After all, it’s the largest film studio in Ping Cheng City and we’re both actors. It’s not surprising to see it.”

Luo Luo nodded and said, “I saw their costumes and crew today. They’re rich! It’s obvious that they’re top-notch.”

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and said, “Since he agreed to help, he won’t be ordinary. However, I didn’t expect it to be a top-notch production.”

“After all, it’s a favor. President Li, you have to be magnanimous.”

Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow. “That’s true.”

“But I also saw a noble lady on set today. I heard that she’s visiting Liang Xuer. Liang Xuer has a scene tonight and she should be resting on Saturday… Forget it, forget it. Let’s not mention her. We’re about to announce the wedding to the world. There’s no need to think too much. Let’s go and find a seat.”

Ye Qingqiu could guess who the lady was, but she didn’t want to mention Liang Xuer. She nodded and was pulled away by Luo Luo.

The movie ended at nine.

Ye Qingqiu called Ye Ze, so they got into the car after leaving the cinema.

“To the Li Corporation.”

“Yes.”

*

During the weekend, the entire building was empty.

Ye Qingqiu often entered the Li Corporation, so she naturally had a pass.

She brought Luo Luo into the elevator and went straight to Li Tingshen’s office.

Luo Luo was a little surprised. “Aren’t you bringing me to see the wedding gown? Why did you bring me to CEO Li’s company?”

“Of course I’m here to bring you to see the wedding gown. Who knows why he would think of bringing it to the company?”

Although she said that, Ye Qingqiu felt that this man probably wanted to torture her in the lounge.

After entering Li Tingshen’s office, she switched on the lights and it was instantly brightly lit.

This was the first time Luo Luo had entered this place. Even if her master wasn’t around, she couldn’t help but feel nervous.

No matter how one looked at the decor of the office, it exuded a grand and solemn aura.

Of course, if one didn’t look at the small table beside the big desk.

It was filled with small items that belonged to girls. There was a doll pillow on the chair and the table cushion was filled with pink cartoon characters.

At the thought of Ye Qingqiu staying at this place, she couldn’t help but laugh.

“What are you laughing at!”

“I find it funny when I think of you working beside him. But are you really working? I can’t imagine you working. I just thought of how bored you were sitting there playing cards.”

Ye Qingqiu pouted and said, “The Li Corporation’s matters have nothing to do with me. Why would I not play cards?”

“Pfft, that’s true.”

Tears welled up in Luo Luo’s eyes.

Ye Qingqiu picked up the pillow on the chair and threw it at her. “What are you laughing at? Come at me if you can.”

Luoluo waved her hands frantically. “No, no, no. I’m not capable. Alright, alright, let me see the wedding gown.”

Ye Qingqiu snorted and walked to the hidden door of the lounge.

Her face stiffened suddenly.

“In here? Why don’t you go in…”

Luo Luo couldn’t wait and squeezed in from the side, but her words stopped abruptly.

After a while, she turned around and winked at Ye Qingqiu.

“Did the two of you do something bad this afternoon?”

The bed was in a mess and the battle was intense.

Ye Qingqiu’s ears turned red.

Seeing her expression, Luo Luo knew that she was right. She took two steps forward and turned the corner of the cabinet. Suddenly, she gasped.

“Oh my god…”

She covered her mouth in surprise and ran to the wedding dress in the middle of the lounge.

The lights in the lounge were on. This was even more beautiful than the afternoon.

“Are these all diamonds? My eyes are getting dizzy.”

“The sleeves are so beautiful.”

“The veil is so long.”

“It’s actually embroidered with silver thread.”

“The model is also extremely beautiful.”

“Which designer is so capable? I’m so envious.”

This wedding gown was stunning and Luo Luo’s reaction was definitely not exaggerated.

Ye Qingqiu snorted and raised her chin. “How can my wedding gown be bad? Only you have the chance to see it before the wedding.”

Luo Luo nodded and took a few more photos.

“Oh my god, I can’t wait to see you wear it at the wedding. You’ll definitely be beautiful!”

Ye Qingqiu snorted arrogantly. “Don’t spread the photo. Wear it on the wedding day.”

“Okay! You spent a lot of effort to repay her with such a beautiful wedding gown, right?”

Ye Qingqiu glared at her. “Are you done? Let’s go.”

Luoluo shook her head and refused to leave. “I haven’t finished looking. I can’t get enough of it tonight.”

“Continue watching then. I’m leaving.”

“Hey, wait for me…”

Although she couldn’t bear to leave, she couldn’t stay the entire night.

“You’re in such a hurry to leave…”

“I’m going to be late!” Ye Qingqiu picked up the bag on the sofa and said angrily.

“Too late for what?”

“He wants me to go back at ten.”

Luoluo asked, “Is the security so tight?”

Ye Qingqiu sighed. Did he think she was willing?

“The two of us didn’t do anything bad. Even if we went back a little later, would CEO Li really eat you? At most, he would go back and wheedle. At most, he would sacrifice his looks. How simple is that?”

Ye Qingqiu opened the office door and said, “I hope that when you find a boyfriend in the future, you can often sacrifice yourself to coax him.”

Luoluo was speechless.

The two of them walked to the elevator. Ye Qingqiu was about to press the button when her hand stopped in mid-air.

She frowned as she stared at the display on the elevator button.

Luo Luo reached out and pressed the button. “What’s wrong?”

The elevator stopped on the top floor and it opened immediately. Luo Luo urged her, “Let’s go.”

Ye Qingqiu frowned and walked in thoughtfully.

Luo Luo pressed the button for the first floor before taking out a small mirror and powder to touch up her makeup.

After what she had said, she planned to drag Ye Qingqiu to the bar.

The elevator door closed and the elevator started running. When they were about to reach the 15th floor, Ye Qingqiu suddenly pressed the button for the 12th floor.

The elevator stopped in less than two seconds.

The elevator door opened and Ye Qingqiu walked out. When the elevator door was about to close, Luo Luo closed the mirror and saw Ye Qingqiu’s back.

“This is the twelfth floor!”

“Wait for me downstairs.”

The elevator door closed completely. It was unknown if Luoluo had heard her.

The 12th floor was probably the place she was most familiar with other than Li Tingshen’s office.

Engineering Department.

When she went upstairs just now, she clearly remembered that all three elevators were parked on the first floor.

She and Luo Luo took an elevator to the top floor. The other two should still be on the first floor, but why did one stop on the twelfth floor?

Li Tingshen had been preparing for the Li Corporation’s biggest project for two years…

The software was currently in its final stages. If it was leaked or maliciously destroyed, it would be a fatal blow to the Li Corporation.

There was no room for mistakes.

If someone had left something behind, it was good to come back so late.

Or someone who had nothing better to do and was a workaholic…

Ye Qingqiu found it ridiculous just thinking about it.

Was there really such an employee in the world?

If there was, why didn’t the engineering department turn on any lights?

After passing through the waiting hall and corridor, Ye Qingqiu walked softly to the entrance of the engineering department’s office. The light of a phone and flashlight flashed through the glass door. She stood in a blind spot and watched as the person searched for something.

Her sneaky behavior made Ye Qingqiu’s heart tighten.

It shouldn’t be someone from the company.

But who was it and why did she have a pass to enter the company?

‘Where’s your office?’

The man seemed nervous, his deep voice laced with anger and anxiety.

It was only then that Ye Qingqiu noticed the bluetooth earpiece on the man’s ear, which occasionally flashed blue.

Was he… talking to someone in the company?

‘Office?’

In the engineering department, only high-level workers had an independent office.

Recalling the high-ranking worker’s nervous and trembling voice on the phone that afternoon, she suddenly understood something.

This way, there would be an explanation for the access card in his hand.

The man must have said something to him as he walked towards his office.

“Gao Ming, I’m warning you. The file path you gave me had better not be wrong. If you dare to trick me, you can wait to collect your son’s corpse.”

That voice…

Ye Qingqiu frowned. This voice had appeared in her memory before.

It was… Qin Jiao?!

In her mind, Qin Jianjia’s face suddenly overlapped with the pair of eyes she had seen behind Liang Xuer’s door when she was discharged from the hospital. Ye Qingqiu’s eyebrows suddenly twitched.

All the information was strung together in his mind.

Xu Wenxuan said that Qin Hao had dropped out of school and sold his property. It was unknown if he was making a comeback or doing something extreme. Clearly, he had chosen the latter.

It wasn’t that he didn’t have time to call and apply for leave, but he was threatened by Qin Hao using his son’s life.

Back then, Qin Jiao had said that she wanted Li Tingshen to pay the price. So that was her intention.

Li Tingshen’s software development was not a secret in the company. If Qin Jianjia wanted to know, she would definitely know the significance of this software development to the Li Corporation.

Therefore, he chose to take the program away or destroy it when he was about to complete it.

Then, all the efforts of the Li Corporation and Li Tingshen would be in vain.

He was actually waiting here.

The current Qin Hao was obviously no different from an outlaw.

Naturally, she wouldn’t be stupid enough to bump into him alone.

She took out her phone to send a message to Ye Ze, but her phone suddenly rang.

The ringing of the phone was especially loud in the empty office. One could even hear the echo.

Ye Qingqiu was stunned.

A blinding light suddenly hit her face. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She raised her hand to block the light and answered the call.
