The sun was setting. In the spacious CEO office, it was so quiet that only Lin Qian's breathing could be heard.
She looked up again, only to see Li Zhicheng sitting behind the desk, still reading the documents of various departments, expressionless.
He had been sitting there for an hour, ever since he received the bid results.
It was time to get off work, and the top floor was almost empty. Lin Qian was not in the mood to work, holding her chin with one hand, while the other hand played with the leaves of the small green plant on the desk, once, and again …
Finally, Li Zhicheng stood up. Lin Qian immediately sat up, putting on a very peaceful and natural expression, looking in his direction. She saw him turn off the computer, put on his coat, and walk out the door.
Lin Qian immediately stood up, "CEO."
Li Zhicheng looked up at her. His dark eyebrows looked like they had been dyed with ink, especially clear and quiet under the light.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Tomorrow morning at ten o 'clock, call all the executives for a meeting."
"Okay," Lin Qian answered quickly, then asked, "What's the topic?"
"The next development plan of the group." His voice was still deep and powerful.
Lin Qian was stunned, then smiled, "Okay, I'll inform them first thing in the morning."
Li Zhicheng nodded, turned around and walked out.
Lin Qian asked, "Are you going home now?"
Li Zhicheng raised the collar of his coat, his side profile indifferent, "No. I'm going out for a walk. "
Lin Qian stood there, watching him walk away, into the elevator, and the door slowly closed. She sat down, staring at the dark brown paulownia door of the CEO's office in front of her, and let out a long sigh. Then she slumped on the desk, listlessly.
The sky was not completely dark yet, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the entire industrial park. Li Zhicheng walked out of the building, looked up, then put his hands in his pockets, passed by the scattered workers, and walked to the rows of factories in the back.
Since he took office, he often walked around the industrial park. Because he rarely showed his face, and he always walked with his head down, not many people recognized him.
In the security booth next to the factory, a group of people were sitting and chatting. Until Li Zhicheng walked away, Gao Lang, who was a bit stunned, quietly withdrew his gaze.
At this moment, a forklift driver in his early thirties whispered, "I heard that the Ming something project fell through. Is that true?"
The other security guard immediately replied, "It's true. Don't you know? It had already spread this morning! My sister-in-law is in the administrative department. She said it's all over! "
Gao Lang frowned and asked, "Then what about Aida?"
Everyone let out a long sigh.
As dusk fell, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians in the park. Gao Lang sat among the noisy workers and security guards, but he was exceptionally quiet. His hair had been pulled into a chicken's nest by himself. He was worried about Li Zhicheng, but he didn't know what to do.
At this moment, another security guard stared at the factory in front of him and said, "Hey, what's that for?"
Gao Lang followed his line of sight and saw that the other security guards had already stood up with puzzled expressions.
Under the curtain of the night, dozens of workers in blue uniforms walked in the direction of the office building with sullen faces.
When Lin Qian stepped out of the office building, the sky was almost completely dark. It was a little noisy, but she was still thinking about other things and didn't care. When she walked to the middle of the parking lot in front of the building, she suddenly felt something was wrong behind her.
She turned around and suddenly widened her eyes.
A large group of workers in blue uniforms was coming from not far away, rushing toward the office building. Lin Qian's eyes were sharp. She even saw a few people mixed in with them, holding what looked like iron rods in their hands. What was more eye-catching was that a few security guards were rushing over from the side. The one leading the group was the fastest. It was none other than Gao Lang!
They stopped in front of the group of workers. Gao Lang said in a low voice, "What do you want? Where are you going? "
The workers in the lead were all tall men in their thirties, with fierce faces. One of them yelled, "You little security guards, get out of the way! We're going to talk to the company's leaders! Justice is in our hearts! They're delaying our wages, colluding with outsiders to bring down Aida. They don't care about us old employees! We want an explanation! "
As soon as he finished speaking, a few people in the group shouted in response. The others also started to make a ruckus.
The security guards were all young men. They were all stunned and didn't know what to do. Only Gao Lang straightened his neck and said loudly, "You're making trouble! There's no such thing! Go back! "
When she heard the words of the leader of the workers, the first thought that came to Lin Qian's mind was:
Is it New Bori or SMQ?
Her heart began to beat faster. She turned around and walked to a safer place. At the same time, she took out her phone to call Li Zhicheng. Before the call went through, she suddenly heard a chaotic noise on the other end. Someone shouted angrily, "Fight! This guy is also one of them. He's here to bring down Aida! "
Lin Qian's heart sank. She quickly turned around and saw that the men in blue uniforms and dark gray security uniforms were already in a mess. Punches, kicks, besieging, twisting, ferocious, panic-stricken faces, all of them intertwined together. It was a real fight! In the darkness of the night, someone raised the iron rod in his hand high up and then dropped it heavily. She didn't know who it hit or the ground, but there was a dull sound.
Lin Qian's heart skipped a beat. At this time, Li Zhicheng's call went through. It rang again and again, but no one picked up. Lin Qian's mood worsened. She hung up and dialed 110.
At this time, other people around also noticed the situation: staff coming out of the building, workers from the factory behind, security guards at the gate … Some of them rushed forward and shouted for them to stop, but most of them, like Lin Qian, stood outside and didn't dare to move.
At this time, in the scuffle, a leader of the workers suddenly looked in Lin Qian's direction. He pointed at her and shouted, "That woman is from SMQ! Catch her and interrogate her! "
Suddenly, many people looked at Lin Qian.
Lin Qian's heart sank even more. She didn't care about calling the police. Someone would definitely do it. She turned around and ran!
It's SMQ! Without a doubt, it's SMQ!
Since it was a premeditated provocation, it was very likely that some underworld forces were involved. Lin Qian would never stay and "confront" them or "shout" them to stop, because it would be useless.
She ran fast and turned quickly. In the blink of an eye, she was out of the parking lot, leaving the men following her far behind. Unexpectedly, as soon as she jumped down the steps, a few onlookers in front of her suddenly blocked her way.
Lin Qian immediately turned around and ran. Unexpectedly, one of them reacted quickly, grabbing her shoulder and pulling her back. The night was completely dark, the trees were thick, and the street lights were not on. Lin Qian could only see a few tall shadows surrounding her. Then, one of them suddenly raised his hand, and with a "pa" sound, a heavy slap landed on her face.
Lin Qian was dizzy from the slap. A burning pain came from her cheek, and she immediately felt a fishy taste at the corner of her mouth. Only then did those people let go of her and quickly walked toward the gate of the company. Their figures quickly disappeared in the crowd outside the gate.
Lin Qian covered her face and stood where she was. Tears suddenly came out of her eyes, and her legs felt weak. She first stared in the direction of the group of people leaving, then turned around to look at the office building. In the dark of the night, there were more people gathered there, and it was even more chaotic.
She suppressed her tears, took out her phone, and continued to call 110. Just as she pressed two buttons, she suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind her. Her heart suddenly jumped again, and she quickly turned around.
She bumped into a pair of familiar dark eyes.
Li Zhicheng stood behind her, his dark figure tall and straight. His breathing was a little fast, and his eyes firmly and quietly stared at her.
Lin Qian's heart was still beating wildly, but her voice had already calmed down. She looked at him and said clearly, "I'm fine. Hurry up and deal with it. I'll call the police. Be careful. "
Before she finished speaking, the hand that was still covering her face was tightly grasped by him. Lin Qian stared at him in a daze. He moved her hand away, and his eyes stopped on her red and swollen cheek. His eyes were cold. "Who hit you?"
She didn't know why, but his words suddenly made the tears that she had been suppressing suddenly come out again. She quickly sniffled and answered, "I didn't see clearly. He ran away."
Li Zhicheng didn't say anything else.
They stared at each other. His dark eyes were fixed on her, and his hand was still holding her wrist. His fingers were warm and strong.
Being stared at like this, Lin Qian's mind suddenly felt a little empty, and she felt even more uncomfortable.
At this time, two military security guards ran over from behind and stood behind Li Zhicheng.
Li Zhicheng was still looking at her, but he said to the security guards behind him, "Take her away from here. Don't let anyone touch her again. "
"Yes!"
Before Lin Qian could say anything, he had already let go of her hand, turned around, and strode away.
Lin Qian walked out under the protection of a security guard.
After a few steps, she looked back and saw that Li Zhicheng had already stepped into the parking lot, and without looking back, he walked toward the group of troublemakers.
Lin Qian was taken to the detached building where the security department was located.
She stood on the balcony, using the ice pack given by the security guard to apply to her swollen cheek.
It was already completely dark, but the noise in the parking lot in the distance was still indistinguishable. She only saw another group of security guards and workers in blue hurrying over there.
In the panic of the night, Lin Qian was burning with anxiety. She didn't know if Li Zhicheng, Gao Lang, and the others were injured, and how the situation was progressing. Why hadn't the police arrived yet?
Her cheek was still swollen, and the scene of a few men blocking her flashed through her mind. She was afraid and hateful at the same time. She wanted to call Lin Mochen, but her fingers pressed on the keyboard, and then she dismissed the idea.
At this time, the security guard who had accompanied her also walked out from the inner room. He looked into the distance with a worried expression. He looked up at her again, and said hesitantly, "Ms. Lin, is Aida … really going to fail? Are we going to lose our jobs? "
Lin Qian looked at his serious but hopeful expression, and for a moment she couldn't answer him.
Just then, the phone in her hand rang.
It was an unknown number.
She picked it up absentmindedly, "Hello."
It was very noisy on the other end of the line, with the sound of music, people talking, and laughter.
Lin Qian suddenly had a bad feeling.
Then she heard Chen Zheng's familiar, leisurely voice, saying word by word, "Lin Qian, does it hurt to fight with me?"
