Gao Qi lay motionless beside the bathtub, exhausted physically and mentally. She didn't even have the strength to reach out for the red wine glass. The hoarseness and forgetfulness just now emptied all her strength.褤
Her smooth back was exposed to the air, a big hand left her body, and then there was the sound of running water.
Ye Haoran stood up from the bathtub energetically, and stepped out of the bathtub gracefully with drops of water.
Gao Qi didn't even look at him, fluttering her eyelashes and continuing to rest, but she could see that she was uneasy inside.
After all, the way is higher than the devil.
"Ding dong"
The doorbell rang. Seeing that Gao Qi had no reaction, Ye Haoran put on a towel and walked out of the bathroom to open the door.
As soon as I opened the door, a large bouquet of flowers appeared in front of me. A voice came from behind the flowers: "Mr. Gao, what do you think of the flowers sent by Mr. Ying?"
"threw!"
Ye Haoran replied with a smile.
The person holding the flowers was obviously stunned for a moment, then immediately put down the flowers and looked over, and found that it was a man he had never seen before, and this man was wearing a bath towel...
I was stunned for a long time.
Ye Haoran held the door open and asked, "Is there anything good to see? Tell me and let me see it too."
"Ah! Oh, I'm sorry, I'm Mr. Gao's assistant, I don't know..."
Ye Haoran kept smiling and touched the fresh flowers, shook his head and said, "It's a pity that such beautiful flowers should be thrown away."
After saying that, he closed the door and shut Gao Qi's assistant out.
The assistant was left alone in a daze.
Ye Haoran returned to the bathroom. At this time, Gao Qi had recovered some strength and was about to turn over and enjoy the comfort brought by the jacuzzi. Seeing Ye Haoran just rolled his eyes, she didn't want to talk to this donkey.
But things were not as simple as she imagined.
Just as he turned around, before he could react, Ye Haoran stretched out his hands and fished Gao Qi out of the bathtub.
"Ah! What are you doing!"
Ye Haoran smiled evilly: "Huh! Mr. Gao, I think we should communicate again."
Gao Qi didn't notice Ye Haoran's title. The emphasis was entirely on the word "communication".
His body shook unnaturally twice, and he immediately began to struggle. He said angrily: "Beast, I am a human being and made of flesh, not a machine. You will only be happy if I die!"
Gao Qi has dated countless men, but she has never seen a man like Ye Haoran. He is shameless and deadly. Coupled with his abnormal physical strength, he is simply a natural killer of women.
No matter how hard Gao Qi struggled, he couldn't get rid of Ye Haoran's control, so he was carried naked to the living room by Ye Haoran.
Amidst Gao Qi's yelling and cursing, he was thrown directly onto the sofa by Ye Haoran.
After leaving Ye Haoran, Gao Qi quickly pulled two pillows to cover himself, and looked at Ye Haoran with angry eyes, but in his heart he was lamenting what to do next.
As a result, Ye Haoran did not pounce on her like a hungry wolf, but sat on the other side of the sofa and looked directly at her.褤
Now Gao Qi was confused. What happened?
Not knowing what he meant, Ye Haoran slowly said, "Mr. Gao, your assistant just sent a bouquet of flowers. They looked pretty good, but I threw them away."
Hearing what Ye Haoran said, Gao Qi suddenly realized.
He rolled his eyes and smiled charmingly: "Hey! Mr. Ye is not jealous..."
She thought Ye Haoran was obsessed with her, so she felt unhappy. Just when she was about to take advantage of Ye Haoran, Ye Haoran smiled and shook his head: "No, no, no, you misunderstood, I won't be jealous, I don't care who you were before, But from today onwards, any transgression will be unforgivable."
Looking at Ye Haoran with a gentle smile on his face, Gao Qi's face began to stiffen.
Just listen to Ye Haoran continue to say: "For example, in some aspects, you can have friends, but once you cross the red line, haha, I'm worried that you will have a car accident or accidentally fall into the Huangpu River. Listen to me
It's also for your own good, right? ”
The gentle smile looked like a demon crawling out of hell in Gao Qi's eyes.
But her strong character did not allow her to give in, so she could only say stubbornly: "This is a society governed by law, so don't try to scare me."
A group of people who are tough on the outside but weak on the inside.
Ye Haoran ignored Gao Qi's strong-willed appearance, shook his finger with a smile and said, "You don't understand me. When you truly understand me, you will understand whether I am trying to scare you or not."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Haoran, who had been gentle and warm just now, suddenly pulled the pillow in Gao Qi's arms, held Gao Qi down and said in a low voice: "Gao Qi, you and I are destined, and you brought me Some different experiences, and I really need your abilities. I really don’t want your body to float on the Huangpu River one day and slowly become white and swollen.”
Gao Qi's face was pale and bloodless.
She has been abroad for twenty years, and even if she has never seen it with her own eyes, she has heard about it a lot, and even seen it on the news. But when this kind of thing happens to her, she can truly feel it. bring fear.褤
She left here twenty years ago for some reasons, and today she came back here twenty years later because of the financial tsunami. She also thinks about her unfulfilled wishes and debts day and night.
For a moment, the emotion of regret began to spread all over Gao Qi's heart. She regretted that she did not take men seriously and thought that she could deal with any man. Until she discovered that there is a kind of man in this world who is not under the control of women at all, but for now It's too late.
She even regretted agreeing to the invitation of student Jiaxin, and regretted that she went to meet Ye Haoran out of boredom, which caused her to fall into an invisible cage.
One hand slowly pinched Gao Qi's chin, making Gao Qi tremble all over in shock.
Ye Haoran's big hand slowly crossed the long neck and asked softly: "Do you understand?"
Gao Qi didn't reply, just stared at Ye Haoran. If she could, she would want to eat this man alive and let him disappear from this world forever. Unfortunately, she could only think about it.
A tear crossed the corner of his eye and fell on the sofa along his face.褤
Only then did Ye Haoran let her go and smiled to himself: "It seems you understand."
As Ye Haoran stood up and left, Gao Qi slowly picked up the pillow that Ye Haoran had just thrown away, and put it in his arms again to cover Miaoman's figure. Maybe this could give her some comfort.
After a while, Ye Haoran came back with a bottle of mineral water in his hand.
"Oh, I almost forgot, that's not what I want to say at all, but that your assistant calls you "Mr. Gao". Should I explain that? "
When in the coffee shop, Gao Qi introduced himself very simply, just some foreign investment experience and successful cases, and did not say that he still had a job.
Ye Haoran didn't want to recruit a half-hearted person to help him manage the most important department.
Gao Qi hesitated for a few seconds before speaking. It was useless for her to hide now. She had always been the only one who controlled men, but now she was controlled by a man. It was useless to continue struggling. She must recognize the facts. Gao Qi said bluntly:
"I am now one of the executive directors of a US-owned company in the Asia-Pacific region, responsible for investment projects."
Ye Haoran curled his lips and smiled, and said with a look of disdain on his face: "It sounds nice, and the name is quite resounding. Unfortunately, it's just a high-level salesman, playing tricks to swindle capital."
Gao Qi on the other side was unhappy. She had worked hard for so many years, so how could she agree with Ye Haoran's slander.
He couldn't help but tighten his hand on the pillow and said, "You don't know the strength of American capital. Even if you look down on me, there is no need to slander my work."
Ye Haoran laughed: "Gao Qi, you won't be brainwashed by capital, right? What kind of executive director, do you have shares? In the competition in the capital market, you are not even a pawn. To put it bluntly, your status You're just a backup scapegoat, don't take yourself too seriously."
What Ye Haoran said is absolutely correct. During the financial tsunami, many foreign capital focused on the country.
They hope to transfer their losses by sharing risks equally, and at the same time, they can also hit the domestic financial system.
The method is too simple. Send a few people over, give them a seemingly high-level identity, and then fool the rich people in the country. At this time, many rich people in the country are nouveau riche. Because of the time when the market is open, many people I didn’t understand the operating rules of the capital market and made many mistakes.褤
But not all people in the country are fools. The official restriction on the export of funds has solved most of the problems. The soundness of financial laws is equivalent to putting a rope on capital, which has prevented too many losses in the financial wave.
Gao Qi is in the position of being a liar. He usually uses overseas listings and international projects as excuses to attract investment, and then transfers funds to resist financial risks.
In foreign countries, this is nothing, just investment, but in China it is different, this is called fraud...
Once there is a thunderstorm, Gao Qi is the one who bears the thunder.
When Ye Haoran said it one by one, Gao Qi was surprised that Ye Haoran understood so much and so thoroughly, and even understood many things deeper than she did.
Although Gao Qi was dissatisfied, she was beginning to feel scared in her heart. It wasn't that she didn't understand the ugly face of capital, it was just that she was addicted to the desire for power and money and didn't want to wake up.
Ye Haoran finally said: "Think about your unfulfilled wishes and the people and things you are reluctant to let go of. With one foot in the abyss, what should you choose?"
He stretched out his two hands for comparison, attracting Gao Qi's attention.
Ye Haoran continued: "On one side, you are glamorous on the surface but dead end, and on the other side, you work for me and get everything you want."
Gao Qi stared at Ye Haoran's hands, as if there were really two roads to the future on the two palms, and gradually fell into deep thought.
Ye Haoran didn't bother her. She said everything she needed to say. Life or death was entirely up to her.
The pillows in Gao Qi's arms were crushed by her force, and she was biting her lips and undergoing intense mental activities.
After a long time, Gao Qi raised his head and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "What's the price? What's the price?"
Ye Haoran said slowly: "Everything about you."
Gao Qi suddenly understood that she had fallen into Ye Haoran's design.
Although the identity of the American is very dangerous and is a time bomb, it does not mean that she will definitely explode.
But if she chooses Ye Haoran, although there is no danger, it is equivalent to imprisoning herself. Just when she is in a dilemma and doesn't know how to choose, she suddenly thinks of a figure that often appears in her dreams. She can't see her face clearly, but she thinks about it day by day. Night thoughts.
If...if she really chooses wrong, the person she wants to see every day will disappear from her world forever.
Gao Qi, who suddenly felt motivated, said in a firm tone: "I will resign from my American-owned position, and I can also concentrate on working for you, but I have a condition."
"you say."
Ye Haoran nodded and signaled Gao Qi to continue.褤
Gao Qi said: "If I get into trouble, I want you to help me. Whether it is your personal ability or the company's influence, you must be on my side."
Ye Haoran was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know what trouble Gao Qi was referring to, since she could say it like this, it meant that this trouble would definitely happen, and it would be because of some kind of conflict, and the other party was not an ordinary person.
Seeing that Ye Haoran did not agree immediately, Gao Qi became anxious and quickly added: "It's not about doing bad things or committing crimes, it's about disputes arising from personal relationships. I just want to get back what belongs to me."
Hearing this, Ye Haoran had some understanding, and nodded and said: "Okay, I should help you both emotionally and rationally. As for how to solve it, you just need to tell me what your purpose is."
Gao Qi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slowly, saying that he would tell Ye Haoran if he encountered any trouble.
After relaxing, Gao Qi suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, as if all the shackles on his body had been removed.
The pillow in her arms fell aside unconsciously, but she forgot that Ye Haoran had just fished it out of the bathtub.
At that time, I didn’t even have time to wear anything...
The white, smooth and charming noble temperament all attracted Ye.
Ye Haoran leaned back on the sofa, smiled and asked Gao Qi, "What are you waiting for?"
Gao Qi looked over suspiciously and saw Ye Haoran lying half on the sofa. He glanced at it and then rolled his eyes.
Too prominent and obvious.
Then it sounded to him, and he realized his situation.
Gao Qi, who had let go of his heart, had the support of Ye Haoran's promise. He was no longer as erratic as before. As if he had a goal, he took off his disguise and spat at Ye Haoran.
But he still walked over obediently, sat down on the plush carpet and hugged Ye Haoran's legs.褤
One hand opened the bath towel.
Ye Haoran closed his eyes and lamented that this weekend was really good. While completing one of the goals of the trip, he also had an unexpected gain. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously.
He put a hand on Gao Qi's head and stroked her short hair, patiently helping Gao Qi prevent cervical spondylosis.
Outside the door of a high-end apartment, the assistant stood at the door and looked at the doorbell in confusion, not knowing whether he should ring it or not.
The head office has an emergency situation that needs Gao Qi to handle. Because of the financial tsunami, the head office is under great pressure and requires more external intervention to tide over the difficulties.
But the assistant heard some noises coming from behind the door, and she knew she shouldn't disturb them at this moment.
I was caught in a dilemma for a while.褤
