Those years, those jokes, those scum

Chapter 257: Brilliant Life, Nothing Can Replace It 32

"You seem to be sleep-deprived lately. Are you guys that busy?"

After lunch, Leng Nuan and Qin Qianqian sat on a bench in the company's sky garden, enjoying the cool breeze, drinking hot coffee and chatting.

She saw that Leng Nuan's dark circles were becoming more and more obvious. Could it be that Qin Shuangjiang had discovered what they had done? So what were they plotting? Otherwise, what would they be busy with? She hadn't heard of any new projects in the company. She couldn't be blamed for starting a conspiracy theory in her mind, because it seemed a little abnormal.

"I am a little sleep-deprived." Leng Nuan replied weakly.

Is it easy for her? She works as a social animal during the day and a slave at night. With such an intensive workload and less than 5 hours of sleep every day, even she can't bear it!

I don't know what cycle principle it is, but the closer it is to the Chinese New Year, the higher the crime rate in society. Not only are there organized crimes, but there are also many revenge crimes. Because the recent cases of newspapers were too shocking and had too little influence, the people in their group were also borrowed to fight crime.

They were already short of manpower, and now the workload has increased instead of decreased. She is now doing the work of 10 people. But the only thing that makes her feel lucky is that she doesn't have to spend too much time investigating and tracking. Her main task is to arrest people.

"Come to think of it, it's been several days. How are things going between you and Mr. Xue?" Qin Qianqian leaned forward slightly and asked curiously.

"We chat occasionally." Leng Nuan answered truthfully. She wanted to get in touch with him more and see if there was any useful information. But unfortunately, she really didn't have the time.

"Could it be that Shuangjiang is deliberately making things difficult for you so that you don't have time to interact with Mr. Xue?"

Qin Qianqian said this not because she took the opportunity to slander Qin Shuangjiang in front of Leng Nuan, but because she saw the two of them going to work and leaving get off work together every day, which gave her the feeling that they were under strict surveillance.

"Hmm? Why?" Leng Nuan knew that the other party was deliberately adding to her workload. But thanks to her, she learned a lot of things. But if she was asked why Qin Shuangjiang did this, she didn't understand.

"To prevent you from getting along well with Mr. Xue?"

"Why do you want to prevent me from making friends with him?" Leng Nuan had just finished asking when she remembered that the Xue family had a grudge against the Qin family. Thinking of this, she expressed her understanding.

Fool, of course she is afraid that you have a strong backer, and she will not be able to compete with you for the family property in the future. Qin Qianqian complained silently in her heart. She heard it from her father. This Mr. Xue is unfathomable and powerful. Even if he wants to curry favor with him, he has to spend a lot of connections to barely get in touch.

"Others want to curry favor with him but they can't. But you are lucky. Mr. Xue took the initiative to find you, but you declined because you were busy with work." Thinking of this, Qin Qianqian sighed and said with emotion: "You are also a fool with good fortune."

“…” Huh? ! She what? Well, not knowing what to say, she shut up.

Leng Nuan finished the remaining one-third of the coffee, threw the cup into the trash can beside him, and said, "Qian Qian, I'm going back first."

"Go ahead, go ahead, while there's still some time. You should get more sleep."

At this time, most people had finished lunch and returned to their posts to rest, so when Leng Nuan went to the secretariat to get a cup of coffee, he saw an unexpected person at the elevator entrance on his way back.

Why is he here? And he just came out of Qin Shuangjiang's office.

"Director Qin." Leng Nuan quickened her pace and walked to his side, greeting him first.

"Haha, Xiao Nuan, there are no outsiders here. Just call me Second Uncle."

"Are you used to working in the company?" Qin Haoming asked kindly.

"I'm used to it, but there's still a lot to learn." Leng Nuan responded obediently.

"I heard that Shuangjiang asked you to work overtime every day. Xiaonuan, don't blame Shuangjiang. She is just strict and has no intention of targeting you. Don't take it to heart."

"She's doing this for your own good. Two sisters shouldn't hold grudges overnight."

"..." What a tea-matching master! This eyeliner is much better than the one drawn by Qin Qianqian, that idiot.

"Really? Second uncle, it's not because she hates me that she deliberately assigned me so much work." Hearing him say this, Leng Nuan looked aggrieved, with tears in her eyes.

"Really not. That child has been like this since he was young. He is too serious and not very likable."

"This guy, after all, is not a real family, so there is still something different."

You really dare to say that. Are you too confident that the door has great sound insulation, or are you sure that Qin Shuangjiang won't suddenly come out and see you?

"Xiao Nuan, Uncle is worried that it will have a bad influence on you in the company, so he hasn't looked for you for such a long time. Xiao Nuan is a sensible and considerate child. You won't blame Uncle for not taking care of you, right?"

"No, no." Leng Nuan waved her hands quickly. The more shy she appeared on the surface, the more numb she was inside.

System, if she is guilty, please give her an electric shock. Why let her go through this!

Leng Nuan didn't know what Qin Haoming's arrival had done to Qin Shuangjiang. But no matter how she looked at it, it was impossible that he came to chat with the younger generation out of kindness.

The sound of the electronic door unlocking startled Qin Shuangjiang. She quickly stuffed the documents and photos in her hand back into the envelope and pushed them into the cabinet.

"I just met my second uncle at the door." Leng Nuan watched Qin Shuangjiang put his things away with sharp eyes. She handed the coffee over and said casually.

"Thank you," Qin Shuangjiang took the coffee and thanked him, his eyes wandering: "Well, he came to confirm a contract with me."

Leng Nuan saw that the other party was lying. She nodded without saying anything more, but quietly noted the cabinet where she put her things.

"You, you can leave work an hour early today."

"Hmm?" Leng Nuan, who was just taking out the recliner to sleep, turned his head and looked at the person who was speaking.

"We've almost finished our recent work. You've worked hard, too. You can go back and rest early." Qin Shuangjiang looked at her with a complicated expression on his face.

Oh, you also know how hard I've been working lately. I was only allowed to leave work an hour early! You are worthy of being in the capital market! With you in the company, it will be evergreen.

But, no matter what, being able to leave work an hour earlier is better than not leaving work at all. She can still make good use of the time and do a few more jobs.

The rainy weather accelerated the arrival of night. Qin Shuangjiang looked out the window. This time she was not deceived by the time. It was only 17:40 in the afternoon.

She looked at the empty space again, not wanting to continue working. She opened the drawer and touched the top file bag, hesitated for a moment, and finally picked it up and put it in her briefcase.

"Miss, are you going back to the apartment or home today?" asked the driver.

"First, let's walk around." She was a little messy now and didn't want to stay in the house.

"…OK."

When Qin Shuangjiang walked outside for a while and calmed down, she returned home and found that the person she thought had finished get off work early and gone to bed had never come back at all.

The roar of motorcycles at midnight attracted people's attention, especially those who were still awake.

He took off his helmet in the early morning, and his neat red hair was very eye-catching in the night. He turned slightly to the side and stretched out his strong arms to help the people behind him get off the car.

"Thank you for sending me back." Leng Nuan said that she was lucky today. She didn't expect to meet this mysterious man after completing the task.

"As a girl, don't hang around outside at night, especially alone." Ling Chen said with a mature look. If he hadn't happened to pass by and rescued her from the gangsters today, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

After thanking him again and watching the other person leave, Leng Nuan walked towards the door in a rare good mood recently.

"There have been a lot of things going on lately. How about finding an excuse to move out?" Leng Nuan took out the key, opened the door, and talked to himself.

After she opened the door and changed into slippers, she hadn't taken a few steps when she saw Qin Shuangjiang sitting upright on the sofa in the living room.

"You haven't slept yet." Leng Nuan was just saying hello, but she didn't expect to get a series of questions.

"Do you know what time it is?"

"Why did you come back with that man?"

"Do you know him? Do you know what he does?"

"You are now the Miss of the Qin family. Can you have some self-awareness? If you make friends with a low-ranking gangster, it will be known to people in the circle. It will be a loss of status. How will others see our Qin family? If you are so careless, how can you support the Qin family?"

It was like he had said all the words he had been holding back for a long time. After Qin Shuangjiang finished speaking, he immediately felt unwell.

"Leng Nuan, I'm not..." She originally just wanted to express her concerns, but she didn't expect that what came out were words of blame.

She hurried forward, wanting to grab her hand and explain. But when she got there, she got scared. What qualifications did she have? Just when she wanted to run away, Leng Nuan grabbed her hand instead.

Qin Shuangjiang looked at her in astonishment, only to see her smile at him and slowly say, "Thank you for worrying about me."

"Why do you say that... I clearly..."

"Although you were angry and your words were very scolding, your eyes were full of anxiety and worry."

Qin Shuangjiang stared blankly at the person in front of her. Her serious look was as pure as the day she said there were stars in her eyes.

The anxious and guilty mood magically calmed down, and at the same time, it seemed as if something had quietly sprouted in my heart.

"But, come to think of it, why are you so persistent in wanting me to take over the Qin family?" She had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

Qin Shuangjiang seemed to be suddenly awakened. It must be an illusion. How could she have any strange thoughts about Leng Nuan? Leng Nuan was just a little more serious and sensible, a little more considerate, a little more beautiful, and a little more innocent... Damn it, how could she be so good at touching people's hearts!
