for Advance Chapter
The next day at eight o'clock, I was woken up by the alarm on my cell phone. I sat up in bed, sleepy-eyed. I had chatted with Sister Inina Ellie for over an hour last night, and then fell asleep. I vaguely remember listening to her nagging about her recent work arrangements. She had just finished her tour and was about to start endorsing three fashion brands.
After listening to Inina Ellie's nagging, I hurriedly comforted her and told her that I would go back to Country M to accompany her on a sea trip for a few days. It took a long time to coax her into working with peace of mind.
Then, Inina. Ellie asked me to tell her in detail about my recent situation, and I didn't hide the fact that I had settled in Anhai City, Xia Country. I told her that I hadn't found my biological parents yet, and I talked to her about living in Qin Xinmei's house and working as a secretary in the company.
However, after Sister Inina Ellie finished listening to me, I was so sleepy that I lay on the bed and forced myself to listen to her reply. Finally, I heard her vaguely that she seemed to have heard something about endorsing three fashion brands and giving me a surprise. Then I was so sleepy that I fell asleep.
"Later, as I was about to fall asleep, Sister Inina and Ellie said something; I can't quite remember." I sat on the bed, yawning. I patted my cheeks, got out of bed, opened the closet, and pulled out a black suit to put on. After getting dressed in front of the mirror, I hurried downstairs to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and washed my face. With my hands on the sink, I stared at the mirror, my mind unconsciously returning to what happened in the study last night. This was the first time Qin Xinmei had hit me since entering her home.
Before, Qin Xinmei didn't beat me even though I did something out of line to her. But this time, just because I entered Chen Siting's room, she hit me twice with a clothes hanger.
I turned on the faucet, rinsed my face with cold water, took a towel from the hook on the wall to wipe the water off my face, shook my head, and walked out of the bathroom without thinking any more.
When I walked into the hall, I was a little surprised. Qin Xinmei and Nalan Xi were sitting on chairs next to the long dining table, while Chen Siting, who rarely got up early, unexpectedly got up early today to have breakfast.
Qin Xinmei held the white porcelain bowl in her jade hands. When she saw me, she glared at me and said, "Chen Qing, hurry up and have breakfast. It's already 8:20 and you're still dawdling."
"Yeah, brother, the sun is shining on your butt. Did you steal last night? You got up so late." Chen Siting giggled, then turned to look at Nalan Xi, raising her white chin.
Nalan Xi picked up a piece of vegetable and put it in the bowl, then rolled her eyes at Chen Siting. She didn't take the provocative look of the Korean beauty into consideration, but her charming face showed some helplessness.
Last night I told Chen Siting that she couldn't like Chen Qing, but she refused to listen. This innocent-looking girl bit back at me, asking why she couldn't like Chen Qing and what the freedom of love had to do with her. Nalan Xi was so choked that she didn't know what to say.
At that time, Nalan Xi really wanted to tell the secret code that Chen Qing was your brother, and that you two were destined not to be in love, but this secret had to be told by Qin Xinmei, and it was not her turn to intervene anyway.
"Sister, you got up so early today. Have you been possessed?" I sat down at the dining table. Qin Xinmei poured me a bowl of porridge and placed it on the table. I picked up the porridge and blew on the steam, feeling a little confused. Chen Siting's behavior towards Nalan Xi just now seemed provocative. Aren't they usually on good terms? I took a sip of the porridge and looked at Nalan Xi. She held the white porcelain bowl to her lips with her two delicate hands, blowing on the steam from the porridge while staring at me with a cold look.
Nalan Xi didn't say anything, just glared at me, then ate the porridge in small sips with a small spoon. I rolled my eyes at Nalan Xi, muttering to myself that there was something wrong with her. She had clearly accepted my silver necklace, but she still treated me the same way.
"I have to go to the driving school today to sign up for driving lessons. I've also dragged a classmate along, so I have to get up early." Chen Siting put down her chopsticks, stood up, and said with a smile, "We have a car at home anyway, brother. Once I get my license, I'll take you for a ride."
Without waiting for my reply, Chen Siting hurriedly ran to the entrance of the villa in her slippers, changed into a pair of white shoes, waved to us, and then ran out of the villa anxiously.
I looked away and wolfed down two bowls of porridge. Qin Xinmei and Nalan Xi had already eaten their fill and were waiting for me to clean up the dishes.
Fifteen minutes later, after packing up, Qin Xinmei, Nalan Xi, and I walked towards the villa entrance. I stood between the two super beauties, smelling the two different fragrances emanating from them, feeling a little mesmerized.
Qin Xinmei was wearing a French-style five-point short-sleeved white V-neck shirt and a brown skirt. The hem of the skirt covered her slender white feet. Her perfect waist was wrapped between the white V-neck shirt and the brown skirt, and her feet were wearing 6-centimeter-high golden hollow high heels. This outfit looked fashionable and fresh, and her temperament was calm and elegant, but her cold and perfect face made people only dare to look at her from a distance and not dare to approach.
Nalan Xi wore a purple collared shirt with black wide-leg trousers, which made her look capable and outstanding, especially her fair and charming face that made people unable to take their eyes off her. Her long hair was scattered on her shoulders in waves, and her black wide-leg trousers were wrapped around her two long and straight legs. Her two beautiful feet were wearing 5 cm high black stilettos, revealing her fair and delicate insteps.
But if you look closely at the two super beauties, Qin Xinmei is taller than Nalan Xi.
"Wait for me." I suddenly remembered something and immediately ran towards the bonsai tree at the door. I saw only empty cicada shells left on the trunk of the tree.
Qin Xinmei stopped, her tall figure supported by a pair of golden hollow high heels. She glared at me unhappily, then saw the empty cicada shell in my hand, covered her red lips with her jade hand and smiled faintly.
Nalan Xi also stopped and looked at me, his eyes full of confusion.
I clutched the empty cicada shell, almost crying, "Qin Xinmei, where's the cicada? It's gone." Qin Xinmei, her golden, hollowed-out high-heeled feet, walked towards me. Her delicate hand tugged at my ear, gently twisting it before releasing it. She said unhappily, "Come on, last night I told you to go up to the attic and cover it with an old mosquito net, but you didn't listen. It's waiting for you to catch it if it doesn't fly away. Hurry up and get in the car. You're going to be late."
"I forgot for a moment." I tossed the empty cicada shell into the mud around the bonsai and headed for the garage, feeling somewhat deflated. But then, remembering Qin Xinmei's promise to take me to her hometown sometime soon, I felt a surge of anticipation. Nalan Xi muttered something about how childish it was for someone her age to still be catching cicadas for fun, and joined the group, staring at me with a complicated gaze that left me perplexed.
At this time, Qin Xinmei slowly walked to the electronic gate of the villa and stood there, waiting for me and Nalan Xi.
I opened the car door, stopped, looked at Nalan Xi and couldn't help asking, "Sister Xi, it's a little creepy for you to look at me like that. What's the matter? Tell me."
Just now, at the dinner table, Nalan Xi stared at me coldly, her eyes almost murderous. Standing next to her white Lamborghini, Nalan Xi frowned and asked, "Do you like Chen Siting?" "Yeah, I do. She's my sister. There's no reason not to like her." I blinked, vaguely understanding what Nalan Xi was trying to say.
Chen Siting inherited Qin Xinmei's perfect genes, with a pretty face of pure first love, whoever sees her will fall in love with her; but my answer is that we are siblings, and it is normal for a family to love each other. It is precisely because of this that I dare to say it without scruples.
"Bang!"
A sound.
Nalan Xi didn't say anything. She opened the car door, slammed it shut, started the car and drove out of the garage. I looked at Nalan Xi's white Lamborghini and seemed to remember something. The last time she drove a white Porsche, the same model as Qin Xinmei.
This time, Nalan Xi drove a Lamborghini, and I remember that when she first came to Qin Xinmei's house, she drove this white Lamborghini.
The last time I went to Nalan Xi's house, she gave me the keys to her Porsche. I thought she just wanted a car and didn't pay attention or think about it at the time.
Half an hour later, we arrived at the company and took the elevator with Qin Xinmei, Nalan Xi and I. The two beauties were talking about the cotton material of underwear, with a bit of joy on their faces.
I guessed that the problem of underwear cotton material was solved. After going up to the 30th floor, Nalan Xi got out of the elevator and hurried to his office.
Qin Xinmei and I went up to the 35th floor. When we entered the office, I went to the floor-to-ceiling window to open the curtains as usual. When we walked to the other side, we suddenly saw a strange scene.
In the open space downstairs of the company, many executives and male and female employees were setting up a scaffolding, and two trucks were parked next to them. Employees were moving stools, long tables, and a number of barbecue grills one after another.
I turned my head to look at Qin Xinmei who was sitting in the boss chair, and saw her delicate and cold face, full of comfort.
"Qin Xinmei, is there any company event today?"
I walked over to the stool next to Qin Xinmei and sat down. Beneath the spacious desk, her long, beautiful legs were drawn together in a brown skirt, revealing two white bare feet. Her golden hollow high heels were incredibly alluring. Qin Xinmei leaned back against the leather chair, her hands resting flat on her flat stomach. A smile played on her lips. "Yes, we're having an event tonight."
"What about Li Mu, Jiang Ning, Chen Zhao and the others?" I rested my elbows on the table, holding my chin in thought. The issue of the underwear material has been resolved, but I wonder if these people will also be punished?
Qin Xinmei didn't answer, but suddenly reminded me: "Go make some coffee, I'm thirsty."
I suddenly remembered that I hadn't made any coffee, so I ran to the coffee shop with a chuckle, made two cups of coffee with less sugar and milk, and brought them to my desk.
"Vice President Nalan sent the video to Qi Qianli's Italian headquarters yesterday afternoon, and then Li Mu was taken away by their headquarters for investigation that evening. I don't know how they'll deal with him, but Chen Qing, it's a little like what you suspected before. This time, the price of underwear cotton has been cut in half. For the next five years, regardless of whether the price of cotton increases, we will be supplied at the lowest price."
Qin Xinmei sat in the boss chair, holding a cup of coffee in one hand and tapping the table lightly with one finger. She stared at the distant scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window without blinking, as if she was thinking about something.
I followed Qin Xinmei's gaze and saw that not far away there were a dozen buildings with more than a hundred stories and three buildings with several hundred stories high. There were also high-rise buildings being built around them, so I couldn't see the scenery farther away.
Qin Xinmei retracted her gaze, took a sip of coffee, and continued, "As for Jiang Ning and Shen Zhao, they've been taken in by the police for investigation. No matter what the outcome, they're bound to go to jail."
"So let's celebrate today?" I blinked and saw a strand of Qin Xinmei's hair hanging by her ear. Then I stood up and walked behind the boss's chair.
Qin Xinmei turned to look at me in confusion: "What are you doing?"
"Let me help you tidy up your hair." I giggled and said nothing. I gently lifted the hair hanging by Qin Xinmei's ears with my hands, then took off the black hairpin and clipped it on the corner of her clothes. With one hand, I gently held the long hair that was soft and smelled of jasmine, and then began to skillfully tie the long hair into a knot.
Qin Xinmei's delicate body trembled slightly. In the reflection of the black computer screen, she saw that I didn't move. She closed her beautiful eyes and leaned back in the boss chair with a look of comfort. She said in a tone of surprise, "Chen Qing, I didn't expect you to be able to tie hair knots. You're comparable to those hair stylists."
"Of course I will. When Inina Ellie was home, I was the one who washed and blow-dried her hair. It took me a long time to learn how to tie a knot."
I smiled slightly, stood behind Qin Xinmei, and crossed the long hair on her delicate head, tied it together with the hairpins in a slightly fluffy shape, and then clamped it tightly with a black hairpin.
Qin Xinmei placed her two delicate hands on her flat belly, her two long beautiful legs entangled together in her brown skirt, her head resting on the chair, her eyes closed and she said nothing.
After I tied Qin Xinmei's hair, I walked to the chair next to her and sat down. I wanted to take credit for my craftsmanship, but unexpectedly, before I could open my mouth, Qin Xinmei suddenly opened her eyes.
Qin Xinmei moved her chair closer to the desk, resting her hand on her delicate white chin, and asked doubtfully, "When was the last time you and Inina Ellie contacted each other?"
I didn't know why Qin Xinmei asked this. Looking at the cold and perfect face in front of me, I blinked honestly and said, "I just contacted her before going to bed last night. What's wrong?"
"Really?" Qin Xinmei straightened up, suddenly stretched out her hand, and said with a smile, "Let me see your phone." I immediately felt a sense of crisis. I knew what Qin Xinmei wanted to do with my phone. She must want to look through its contents. It just so happened that the sexy photos that Inina and Ellie sent me last night were still there. What would happen if I was discovered?
"Qin Xinmei, what's so good about your phone? I don't think I charged it last night. It's out of battery."
I touched my nose, my hand subconsciously covering the phone in my trouser pocket, pressing the power button and immediately turning it off. Qin Xinmei stood up suddenly, stretched out her white and delicate hand and said coldly, "Chen Qing, stop talking nonsense and give me your phone. I can tell whether it has battery or not at a glance."
"There's nothing good to see here. My battery is really out of power." I stood up from the chair and suddenly went behind the desk. I would never give my phone to Qin Xinmei.
Seeing that I was being stubborn, Qin Xinmei realized that I had something to hide when she saw me like this. She immediately chased after me with her long legs, and I had to hide around the desk.
"Chen Qing, stop right there. Don't run."
"I won't run unless you chase me."
I sprinted around the desk five times, and Qin Xinmei, in her high heels, did the same. When she couldn't catch me, her cold face gnashed with anger. Suddenly, a mixture of shame and rage, she snatched up a copy of Economic Weekly and hurled it at me. I quickly snatched it up, cautiously saying, "There's really nothing secret on my phone." I cursed myself inwardly, wishing I hadn't told Qin Xinmei about my conversation with Inina and Sister Ellie. Qin Xinmei remained silent, staring coldly at me from across the table.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Suddenly there were three knocks on the door.
Qin Xinmei's cold face returned to calm. She had to sit back in the chair, but she stared at me and whispered, "Come in."
I didn't dare get close to Qin Xinmei, lest she snatch my phone. Luckily, someone came to the office at that moment, and I thought I had just enough time to delete the photos that Sister Inina and Sister Ellie had sent me.
When Qin Xinmei saw me take out my phone, her expression grew even colder, like a glacier, making my scalp tingle. The office door opened, and the person who came in was none other than Vice President Nalan Xi.
"Lan Xi, quickly grab Chen Qing's cell phone for me." When Qin Xinmei saw that it was Na Lan Xi, she suddenly stood up again and ran towards me wearing a pair of golden hollow high heels.
I had just turned on my phone and looked up at Nalan Xi in a daze. I was stunned and anxious. I was thinking of waiting for an executive to bring in documents for Qin Xinmei to sign and delete the photos in her free time. I didn't expect that it was Nalan Xi who came in.
Nalan Xi came in to discuss tonight's company activities with Qin Xinmei. When she saw President Qin speaking, she immediately sneered, opened her jade hands and walked quickly around me in high heels.
I saw two beauties being forced into a corner like an eagle catching chicks. Qin Xinmei grabbed my arm and tried to grab my cell phone with one hand, but I held it tightly.
"Mr. Qin, let me help you." Nalan Xi sneered and joined the ranks of grabbing the phone. I simply held on to the phone tightly and the three of us immediately fell into chaos.
At this moment, I didn't know whether I was pushed to the floor by Qin Xinmei or Nalan Xi.
"Bang!"
A sound.
I held the phone tightly in my arms and saw four white and tender hands reaching into my arms. Then I felt a pain in my buttocks, and I didn't know who hit me.
"Chen Qing, you would rather die than surrender, right?" Nalan Xi pressed her jade hand on my shoulder, raised her other fair jade hand, and sneered.
Qin Xinmei looked at Nalan Xi deeply, then tickled my waist with her hands. I felt a tingling sensation, and my hands couldn't help but loosen.
Seeing this, Nalan Xi suddenly snatched the phone from my hand and said with a smile, "Okay, Sister Xinmei, I got the phone."
"Give it to me." Qin Xinmei snatched the phone from Nalan Xi's hand and slowly returned to the chair with her long beautiful legs.
Nalan Xi ignored me and walked over to Qin Xinmei. As for why she had snatched my phone, she was a little curious, but she didn't ask. Ever since she had perfectly handled the cotton material incident, the haze in her heart had been swept away, and she smiled more often. The key was that Li Mu no longer had to appear in front of her.
"Is there any justice in the world? You have no right to take my personal belongings." I sat depressed on the sofa, looking at the two super beauties with a look of grief and anger on my face.
Qin Xinmei held her phone in her delicate hand, glanced at me, and flipped through a photo album as she spoke succinctly, "This morning, all departments finished handing over company matters. Then there was a barbecue in the afternoon, and a celebratory cocktail party in the evening. The factory production line is working overtime to ship the goods. This month, everyone's salary will be increased by 20%. After this batch of goods is shipped, we'll have two days of paid leave."
Nalan Xi's eyes were imperceptibly fixed on the phone in Qin Xinmei's hand. A look of shock crossed her charming face, and she clenched her delicate hands. She turned and glared at me coldly, then nodded. "That's the arrangement."
She thought for a moment and said, "Qi Qianli's Italian headquarters just gave us the lowest price and compensation for cotton material, and we're celebrating. I'm afraid this wouldn't be a good idea."
Qin Xinmei placed her phone on the table, tapping it lightly with her delicate hands. Her tone was gentle but chilling, "I just want to tell them loudly why a fool has infiltrated their company. They've monopolized the price of foreign cotton materials since a few years ago. Although they've given us the most favorable prices in the past two years, it's just superficial. These prices are only getting higher. Don't think I don't know. It's a pity that our domestic climate is unstable, and the high-quality cotton we produce can only keep up with the previous quarter."
"With that video, they won't be able to be too arrogant in the next few years anyway." Nalan Xi nodded, then glared at me fiercely and turned to leave the office.
I know why Nalan Xi glared at me. She was staring at the phone in Qin Xinmei's hand just now, and she must have seen the photo of Sister Yinina and Ellie.
"Bang!"
A dull sound was heard.
Qin Xinmei slammed her jade hand on the desk, gnashing her teeth and saying coldly, "Chen Qing, come here."
