give me years of peace

Chapter 85

The elevator was a little dim, Xiao Qingqing's face was dull under the pale light, even heavy makeup couldn't conceal the sallowness and exhaustion on her face.Xiao Qingqing was wearing an emerald green dress with slanted shoulders, covered with a white fur. She looked like she had just returned from a certain dance.

She was still holding an unfinished cigarette in her hand, and she was leaning against the electronic door outside the elevator like that, her eyes were full of aloofness and bewilderment.

I haven't seen Xiao Qingqing in the past few months. When Du Anran saw her, she was still stunned. She couldn't believe her eyes. This... is really Xiao Qingqing, the secretary who used to be by her side every day?

Du Anran's face was a bit embarrassed, she didn't know what to say to Xiao Qingqing, this woman betrayed her with the man she loved the most, probably, she would be extremely embarrassed every time she faced the two of them.

"Du Anran." Ever since Shihe ceased to exist, Xiao Qingqing has always called Du Anran by his first name, "He...was hospitalized?"

Du Anran understood who the "he" she was talking about, and nodded, "Well, it's nothing serious, and I'll be back in two days."

Xiao Qingqing looked around, and then his gaze fell on Du Anran again: "He never lets people he doesn't trust use this elevator, of course, except for occasional drama."

"Isn't it just an elevator?" Du Anran's face was noncommittal, she remembered that she had used it before, and if she remembered correctly, Xiao Qingqing had used it too.

Xiao Qingqing glanced at Du Anran again and said, "Is it very satisfying to sit in an office with him every day?"

Du Anran frowned: "How did you know..." Xiao Qingqing actually knew something that even Xin's mother and Chi Xue didn't know, Du Anran was a bit unbelievable.

Xiao Qingqing didn't seem to hear Du Anran's question, and seemed to be talking to herself: "I don't know how many women want to stay with him, Mr. Xin, but unfortunately, he still chose to turn around, heh. I really don't know if you have Which is better."

"You came to see me for something?" Du Anran said impatiently, not wanting to hear her say this.

"I can't talk to you if I have nothing to do?" Xiao Qingqing folded her arms and took a puff of cigarette.

"I'm quite busy." Du Anran smiled apologetically, turned around and was about to walk into the elevator.

In fact, Du Anran didn't understand how Xiao Qingqing knew the password of the electronic door outside the elevator, maybe Xin Zimo forgot to change it.

"Busy? No matter how busy you are, the monthly salary of 50 yuan is worth it." Xiao Qingqing stepped forward and was very close to Du Anran. Du Anran could smell the strong scent of perfume on her body.

"Who told you?" Du Anran turned around with a look of disbelief.

Xiao Qingqing took another puff of cigarette, appreciating Du Anran's changing expression, and said calmly after a long time: "I said Xin Zimo told me, do you believe it?"

Du Anran didn't know how to answer her, did she believe it?

"Don't look at me like that, I really came here today to talk to you, such as how are you doing recently..." The corners of Xiao Qingqing's lips rose, unable to hide her pride and sarcasm.

"Actually, you don't need to lie to me. I'm not doing well, and you're also having a bad time." Du Anran also smiled at her, "Look at your current state. You are not human, ghost or ghost."

"You!" Xiao Qingqing didn't expect Du Anran to have the courage to speak in front of her, but the sullenness on her face turned into a smile after a while, "Are you really going to ask me to sit up? Maybe, I can Tell you some secrets you want to hear..."

Ever since Shihe went bankrupt, Du Anran never believed in Xiao Qingqing again.She shook her head: "I don't want to hear it. Besides, if I let an irrelevant outsider into the office, Xin will always scold me for dereliction of duty."

"Do you think you are not an outsider?" Xiao Qingqing admitted that she was hurt by Du Anran's words of "an irrelevant outsider". It turned out that she had done so much for Xin Zimo, but in the end she was still an outsider, not even a friend.

"I never regarded myself as an outsider." Du Anran said calmly.

"Du Anran, if others don't understand you, how can I not understand?" Xiao Qingqing sneered, "The calmer your face is, the more you tell me that you are not balanced in your heart. For example, right now, when I stand by you In front of you, you clearly wanted to scold me, but you pretended to be indifferent."

Du Anran frowned: "If you finish speaking, please leave."

"You don't have to drive me away in such a hurry, you will regret it." Xiao Qingqing leaned against the wall, looking at Du Anran leisurely, "By the way, do you want to know who the main character in the video of Xin's Building was?"

"If you don't leave, I'll call the security guard!" Du Anran yelled at Xiao Qingqing.

"You don't dare to shout." Xiao Qingqing smiled. "If you shouted, wouldn't everyone know that you were hidden by Xin Zimo's golden house? What would others think of you? Little San? Or a lover?"

"Get out! Get out!" Du Anran was completely irritated by Xiao Qingqing's tone and attitude, she pushed Xiao Qingqing out of the elevator room, and quickly closed the electronic door.

For some reason, she was a little afraid of others mentioning the video that day, as if, she was afraid of something in her heart, she was afraid that they would break with a "bang"...

On the contrary, Xiao Qingqing shaved her hair after being driven out by Du Anran, and sneered at the electronic door.

"If it's hard for me, don't think about it for you either." At the dim entrance, Xiao Qingqing showed a strange expression on his face.

It was a long time before Du Anran regained her composure and walked to the 36th floor. She really did not expect to meet Xiao Qingqing in Xin's.She hadn't seen her for several months, and she didn't know where Xiao Qingqing went or what kind of life she lived.

She also didn't know if Xin Zimo and Xiao Qingqing had any relationship. If so, what kind of position was Xiao Qingqing in his heart, and what kind of position was Chi Xue...

The cutting is constant, and the reasoning is still chaotic.Du Anran rubbed his forehead and sat down on his own seat, but he was no longer sleepy, just when he was bored, Liu Wanwan called.

"Miss Du, have you woken up yet?" Liu Wanwan's voice was very sweet, especially through the phone.

"I got up early, I'm not like you, big slob!" Du Anran laughed.

"Sister An Ran, I am really wronged. I was lazy when I was a child. Look at me, I have already come to the newspaper office to rush out a press release!"

"So busy!" Du Anran thought he was already early, but Liu Wanwan was earlier than her.

"Yeah, I'm almost exhausted. This President Yang is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. He squeezes us all day long." Liu Wanwan complained.

"Then...do you want to resign?" Du Anran urged her.

"It's fine to resign, and I will be liberated as soon as the president of Jin University comes back!" Liu Wanwan said happily, "Sister An Ran, are you still going to the hospital to see the president today?"

Are you still going?Du Anran hesitated...

Seeing that Du Anran had no voice, Liu Wanwan shouted from the air: "Are you afraid that those two people will bully you? With me here, don't be afraid, let's go to the hospital together at night, okay..."

"I...I have to work overtime at night..." Du Anran lied.

"Really working overtime?" Liu Wanwan doubtfully asked.

"Well, I really have to work overtime."

"Alright then." Liu Wanwan was quite disappointed, and his mood sank.

"Go to the hospital and take good care of him, and say hello for me." Du Anran's voice on the other end of the phone was a little choked up.

"Okay... But you try to come to the hospital tomorrow. President Jin is alone in the hospital and has no relatives to take care of him. He is quite lonely." Liu Wanwan said quietly.

"I'll fight for..." Du Anran responded, but she always had guilt in her heart, a guilt for Jin Shaonan's friendship.

He is kind to her, but she can only repay it by avoiding...

"Okay, that's the deal!" Liu Wanwan hung up the phone with a smile.

After finishing the phone call with Liu Wanwan, Du Anran got busy with work. The last time Xin Zimo showed her a bunch of financial statements, she hadn't read any of them yet.

Finance is the lifeline of a company. Du Anran doesn't know why Xin Zimo trusts her suddenly. She probably thinks she is stupid. Even if she throws important things to her, she can't use them.

Du Anran shook her head. In short, it was impossible for her to guess what Xin Zimo was thinking.Since you can't guess it, why bother to guess.He could "fall in love" with her on a whim, and maybe he could abandon her on a whim, who could tell... She never knew which of his words was true and which was false.

When he was really tired of her, she would leave the country and never come back.

It happened to be around two o'clock in the afternoon when Xin Zimo called. The warm sun shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office and shone on Du Anran's face and body. There was a kind of just-right brightness and warmth.

This kind of weather is very suitable for sleeping. Du Anran knew that Xin Zimo was not around, so she was lazy, and she just couldn't bear to read the report. Therefore, at two o'clock, Du Anran was lying on the table and taking a nap. I had a long, long dream.

"Hello..." Du Anran answered the phone in a daze, without even opening his eyes.

"What are you doing?" There was a very gentle voice on the other end of the phone, although it sounded a little weak.

Upon hearing that it was Xin Zimo, Du Anran immediately rubbed his eyes, and lied again: "I'm reading the report."

"Don't be too tired." Xin Zimo said, "Come and have dinner with me tonight."

Du Anran couldn't believe that this was Xin Zimo, he still yelled at her last night, but today he changed his tone again.She really couldn't guess, if she said "no" in the next second, would he change from tenderness to sullenness...

She had no choice but to say submissively: "I will try my best..."

In fact, she could say "no" confidently, but when she thought about making him unhappy again, she would have to threaten to fire her again.It was more cost-effective for her to follow him than to go against him. After weighing it up, she decided to coax him like other women.Maybe this will make him lose his patience sooner...

Sun Ping came to pick her up when she got off work, but she didn't mention to anyone that Xiao Qingqing had come to Xin's to look for her.In fact, after a whole day, she still couldn't understand why Xiao Qingqing came to Xin's to look for her. Could it be that she just wanted to tell her some so-called secrets?

Secrets... This world seems to be full of secrets since the year when Xin Zimo deliberately approached her. His revenge on her is a secret, and Xiao Qingqing's betrayal of her is also a secret. secret.

It was ridiculous and ridiculous, but she didn't want to know any of them.

"Miss Du, Mr. Xin is in a good mood today, don't make him angry when you pass by later." Sun Ping taught her like a teacher while driving.

"You might as well call me Du Anran directly, at least that way I can understand what you mean better." Du Anran said coolly.Every time Sun Ping was very angry, he would call her by her name directly, but if he called her Miss Du, she would not be able to guess what Sun Ping was thinking.

"I already understand what I mean." Sun Ping was neither salty nor indifferent, and kept looking at the road in front of him.

Du Anran hated the tone of the two people's words every time, she didn't bother to pay attention to Sun Ping, and watched the night scene under the neon lights by herself.

In this city, there are cars coming and going, crowds are surging, and the night is beautiful.But Du Anran always felt that she was a soulless person, walking in this place that once belonged to her.
