300 “AV Shooting Guide” Chapter 299

282: Holding hands under the conference table

Qiao Qiao tiptoed open the door and slipped out of the suite.

She herself didn’t expect to be able to successfully ‘escape’ from under the noses of two men. In fact, Qin Ruicheng was easy to handle. He loved to sleep in and would not get up until three o’clock in the morning.It was Zhou Yuanchuan who was more troublesome. He had a regular schedule and was strict with himself. He always got up at five or six o’clock. Qiao Qiao thought of several options and was about to give up. However, when he went downstairs for breakfast, he unexpectedly met Ed, whom he had met at the banquet. Ed was very willing to help and promised to help her hold off Zhou Yuanchuan for the whole morning.

Qiao Qiao had always had a bad impression of him, but when he was ill, he sought medical treatment and found the right person.

Although Ed said he would ask her for remuneration… well, he would ask Director Song to reimburse him when the time comes, so it can barely be considered a public expense, right?

She carried a small bag and left the hotel alone.

The homework was done last night. Thanks to an online translation software, she was able to understand the complex bus route map and roughly identify the direction. Qiao Qiao headed to her first stop confidently.

After walking less than twenty meters, the phone suddenly rang. The caller ID was Zhou Yuanchuan.

Qiao Qiao hesitated for two seconds before answering, and deliberately lowered his voice, pretending to have just woken up.

Zhou Yuanchuan: “Xiao Qiao, where are you?”

Qiao Qiao: “Well…I’m sleeping.”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while: “You have left the hotel.”

Qiao Qiao: “No! I’m sleeping. Mr. Zhou, are you wrong?”

Zhou Yuanchuan said in a helpless tone: “Xiao Qiao, there are people of mine outside the hotel.”

Qiao Qiao looked around. Although she found nothing, she knew that her every move was being transmitted to Zhou Yuanchuan in real time.

Zhou Yuanchuan: “Where are you going?”

Qiao Qiao told the truth: “I want to find Director Song.”

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and after a while he said, “Come back, I’ll take you there.”

Qiao Qiao obediently turned back, and when he was passing by the parking lot, he saw a car swerving out of the way, and the car window rolled down, revealing Zhou Yuanchuan’s face.

“Come up.”

Qiao Qiao sat in the back seat, as quiet as a chicken.

The man wore sunglasses and looked at her from the rear view window: “Did you ask Ed to hold me back?”

“Yeah.” He looked around wildly.

“Did you exchange contact information that day?”

“No, no.” Qiao Qiao hurriedly denied, “I met him when I went to the restaurant for dinner this morning. He said he also lives here.”

“Ed doesn’t live here at all.” Zhou Yuanchuan said lightly, “He came here for you.”

“Me?”

Zhou Yuanchuan refused to say any more, and only whispered: “Stay away from him.”

Qiao Qiao thought that even if you didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t get involved, and I’m not familiar with you.

Private cars are faster than buses, and the originally planned one-hour journey took only twenty minutes.

“Go.” Zhou Yuanchuan smiled, “I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning.”

Qiao Qiao was stunned: “Aren’t you coming with me?”

Zhou Yuanchuan shook his head: “Don’t worry about Qin Ruicheng, I will convince him.”

After that, he drove back.

Qiao Qiao stood there blankly for a while before stepping into the building where Director Song was located.

There were very few people in the lobby, and the front desk spoke to her enthusiastically, but Qiao Qiao couldn’t understand. Fortunately, she had prepared a handwritten note last night, which read crookedly in Chinese B: “I’m looking for Mr. Song Qiyan. I don’t have an appointment, but he knows me. Please let me know.”

The receptionist smiled helplessly and shook his head meaning no.

Qiao Qiao became anxious and pulled out the second note: “I have his contact information. I really am someone he knows. I have something very important to ask him for.”

The receptionist still shook his head and gestured to Qiao Qiao to leave.

Okay, I knew it would be like this.

Qiao Qiao took out his cell phone and used the ultimate trick: call Director Song.

Although it would ruin the sense of surprise, the first purpose was to meet. If she didn’t make this call, she would be kicked out.

The man answered quickly: “Hello?”

Qiao Qiao: “I’m at the front desk of your building, but they won’t let me go up.”

There was a moment of silence on the phone: “Wait a minute.”

Almost at the same time as he hung up, the phone at the front desk rang.The receptionist’s expression changed after hearing a few words. She glanced at Qiao Qiao secretly and whispered into the microphone a few times, which meant she understood.

Qiao Qiao went up to the 20th floor without any obstruction.

When the elevator opened, she saw Song Qiyan who had just come out of the conference room. The man was not wearing a jacket. When he saw her, he smiled and opened his arms.

Qiao Qiao only heard a buzzing sound in her brain, and by the time she reacted, she had already plunged into Song Qiyan’s arms.

The man had the pleasant smell of marine male fragrance, and the familiar strength and embrace of the man holding her. Qiao Qiao took a deep breath, and the longing for the past few days burst out, as if the dry river bed had finally received a heavy rain.

Director Song’s waist is so thin.

Woohoo, it feels so comfortable to hold, I don’t want to let go.

“How did you find this place?” Song Qiyan asked in a low voice.

“I won’t tell you.” Qiao Qiao chuckled, “Mr. Zhou said he would pick me up in the morning.”

Before Song Qiyan had time to speak, another person came out of the conference room, also with a Chinese face. He was startled when he saw Qiao Qiao.

The assistant reassured him: “Mr. Song, the meeting is about to start. You’d better go in quickly.”

His eyes wandered around Qiao Qiao, but he couldn’t ask directly, so he said politely: “I’m sorry, please leave for those who are not involved.”

Qiao Qiao let go of Song Qiyan’s hand when he came out, so from the assistant’s point of view, within a few minutes of Mr. Song coming out, there was a Chinese girl next to him for no reason, and she looked suspicious.

Song Qiyan: “It’s okay, she came to see me.”

After saying that, he took Qiao Qiao’s hand and entered the conference room.

The slightly restless noise in the conference room also fell silent instantly after Song Qiyan entered. A dozen pairs of eyes fell on Qiao Qiao, with surprise, confusion and inquiry.

A female voice sounded: “Qi Yan, this is…”

By reputation, Qiao Qiao is a slightly older woman, but her grace has not diminished with age. She wears a suit and exudes the charm of a mature woman.

Looks familiar?

Oh, by the way, it was the woman he had met at Director Song’s house. She should have been Director Song’s former boss. The reason why Qiao Qiao was deeply impressed by her was because there were not many people who could call Song Qiyan by his first name.

It turns out that Director Song came to country B for a meeting this time with her.

Out of a woman’s intuition, Qiao Qiao didn’t like her very much.

Song Qiyan: “Go on.”

There was absolutely no intention of explaining Qiao Qiao’s identity.

The people in the conference room are all smart people. The boss doesn’t want to talk, so naturally no one will talk too much.The assistant pulled up a new chair, and Song Qiyan motioned for Qiao Qiao to sit on his left, the only person in the audience who could sit next to him.

The meeting continued, and Qiao Qiao seemed to be listening to a bunch of numbers and percentages. She couldn’t stand it after ten minutes. It was more difficult than high school math class.

The man seemed to be aware of her anxiety. He quietly stretched out his fingers under the table and gently clasped her hand.

With the dry and warm palms and the slender fingers with clear joints, Qiao Qiao immediately no longer felt that the meeting was boring. On the contrary, she hoped that the meeting would last longer.

The assistant who was reviewing yesterday’s negotiations hesitated, stopped talking, and asked, “Miss, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?”

The red spread on her body at a speed visible to the naked eye, climbing up from her neck to her entire face, turning her into a steamed shrimp, which was particularly conspicuous.

Qiao Qiao whispered: “I’m fine.”

The assistant coughed slightly and continued talking.After the review was completed, Song Qiyan said calmly: “Xiao Manyu, what do you think?”

The woman said calmly: “It didn’t meet my expectations. Yesterday’s negotiation could obviously make them retreat even more. But this is your decision, and I will accept any result.”

It turns out her name is Xiao Manyu.

“But,” Xiao Manyu changed the topic, “Qi Yan, you have to give us an explanation, right?”

Song Qiyan: “Okay, I will give you a report tomorrow.”

Xiao Manyu’s expression suddenly changed, and she bit her lower lip: “Qi Yan, you know that’s not what I meant. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t question your decision.”

Qiao Qiao thought, wasn’t she Director Song’s former boss?Why do you feel like it’s the other way around now?

The assistant tentatively asked, “Then let’s move on to the next step?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Qiao’s stomach growled at the right time, and it was very loud. The conference room was already quiet, and the expressions of the few people sitting at the bottom suddenly became a little subtle.

Song Qiyan: “Are you hungry?”

Qiao Qiao was embarrassed: “Yes, a little.”

Song Qiyan: “Then let’s get here first today.”

Assistant: “Mr. Song, you will report to the headquarters in the afternoon, but the plan is to -”

The man frowned: “Call back to the headquarters and report back tomorrow morning.”

The assistant looked like he was about to cry, but he accepted it dejectedly.

Everyone dispersed, but Xiao Manyu came over: “Qi Yan, let’s have a meal together at noon. I need to discuss some things with you.”

Song Qiyan: “Are there any good restaurants nearby?”

Xiao Manyu thought he agreed, and introduced with a smile: “A friend of mine in country B recommended several niche but well-reputed stores, which are only known by the locals. Which one would you choose?”

“No, let her choose.” The man motioned to Qiao Qiao to take a look, “Choose what you like to eat.”

Qiao Qiao said happily: “Okay.”

Xiao Manyu was stunned for a moment, but she quickly adjusted: “Qi Yan, everything I want to discuss with you involves confidentiality…”

Song Qiyan: “We’ll talk about it when we get back.”

He looked at Qiao Qiao: “Have you picked it yet?”

Qiao Qiao frowned: “I want to eat everything I look at, so it’s hard to choose.”

Song Qiyan: “It’s okay, just choose one to eat first and have the rest ordered and delivered.”

“Then let’s go to this one.”

The man glanced at the address: “Okay, let’s go.”

Only then did Xiao Manyu realize that Song Qiyan never wanted to eat with her from the beginning to the end. She would have misunderstood it from the beginning!

But after all, she was not a young and energetic girl. Even so, her face did not change at all. She still maintained a perfect smile and even said considerately: “Then I will contact the driver.”

Song Qiyan put on his coat and held Qiao Qiao’s little hand: “No, I’ll drive myself.”
