Wildfire

Qi Man knew that Li Yanzhi would occasionally shame, but that was second only to the bedclothes. They often hugged and took a bath together after doing it. When they came back, Li Yanzhi started working hard again, and she would kick her shoulders: "You just Isn't it the last time?"

The person would look up from her, with a puzzled expression: "Is there?"

With such a serious and innocent expression, she couldn't laugh or cry, so she simply followed her, and finally came again and again. Qi Man thought it was just a ‘small problem’ on her bed, but she didn’t expect that she still had a problem at work.

Such a rigorous, unambiguous person in official business, raised his eyes slightly at the moment, and asked her indifferently: "What pen?"

Qi Man choked speechlessly. She opened her lips and did not speak. There was movement at the door. Lou Ya returned with Zhang Ling's seal. The two talked and laughed. After entering the door, Qi Man stepped back and opened up with Li Yanzhi. distance.

"Mr. Li, it's all right." Lou Ya was respectful, and Zhang Ling said afterwards: "Mr. Li, then we won't bother you."

In fact, she still wants to have lunch with Li Yanzhi, but she will rush to Haoye after the talks are made here. The highlight is over there. She doesn't want to relax her guard before it is completely settled. Li Yanzhi's face is indifferent. : "Secretary Lou, send Manager Zhang and Miss Qi downstairs."

Lou Ya stood straight: "Please, please."

Before Zhang Ling left, she didn't want to look at Li Yanzhi, but there was joy in her eyes. The two-year project, Li Yanzhi's project, was finally signed by her in a different way! How does this make her not excited! If it wasn't for Rongtian now, she had already called friends from all walks of life!

Her excitement made Qi Man calmer. Zhang Ling looked at her before getting into the car. It was estimated that she was upset. Qi Man's unhappiness completely pleased Zhang Ling. Even the facial features that had never been pleasing to his eyes felt okay today. , So when she got to Jinrong, she let Qi Man get out of the car, don't follow her, she had to go out with her friends after signing Haoye, there was really no time to greet Qi Man.

Qi Man didn't shy away, got out of the car with a cold expression, and stepped on the stilettos without turning back to Jinrong. Zhang Ling was busy calling her friends.

"Yes, it's done, see you at noon, I have to go to Haoye."

"Who are you talking about? Qi Man? She's just clever and can make tricks. She can't do the plan. If I didn't modify it for her, could she get through it now?"

"That is, Li Yanzhi still praised me today." Zhang Ling said here with eyes full of smiles, with a look of honor: "She is really perfect."

"When I finish this project and take the position of manager, I see how Qi Man is still tossing."

She sneered at the phone and turned her head to look at Jin Rong. From a young age, she thought it was her own company and would never be snatched away by outsiders, even Qi Man!

Qi Man returned to the office and everyone looked at each other. Zhang Ling had announced the news in the small group half an hour ago, and she had cooperated with Rongtian. Her words were full of excitement. Of course the members of the second group were happy and screamed in the department. Extremely, and then I was educated.

"What are you happy about? The other people's plan that Qi Man does not eat or drink is for you."

"It feels like this department is about to become one-sense again."

"It's a bit disgusting. I have asked a friend to ask if there are other companies."

When the excitement of one group fell to the bottom, everyone looked at each other. Yes, this plan is not Zhang Ling's, but Qi Man's. They are sprinkling salt on Qi Man's wound, so Qi Man felt it when he returned to the office. In the weird atmosphere, Ding Su took the initiative: "Sister Man, are you done talking?"

"It's finished." Qi Man sat at the desk. Before he could stop breathing, she heard the sound of the phone. She took it out of her bag and saw that it was Tang Yun's news.

——Not here today?

Qi Man pursed his lips and smiled back to her: No, I have something to do today, Manager Zhang passed by.

——It's a pity, I can't get in the car today.

Qi Man stared at the screen for a few seconds and turned to look at the car key on the table. She picked it up and played with it in the palm of her hand, looking at Tang Yun's news, her eyes darkened.

Zhang Ling still left her original plan this time. I don’t know what Li Yanzhi and Tang Yun said. This time Zhang Ling went to talk very smoothly. Perhaps Tang Yun and Zhang Ling have known each other before. This wave of money delivery operations She accepted it with a smile. The two negotiated the plan within three days. Then Zhang Ling went to Li Yanzhi. The one signed was not so much for the record as for the cooperation guarantee. After all, there must be a reason for nothing. Shao Tian is not a fool to be slaughtered by anyone.

Shao Tian is not a fool, then Zhang Ling can only be this fool.

Qi Man put down the car key and the phone rang, it was Zhang Chunshan's call.

"Manman, come back to my office for a visit to the company."

Qi Man got up and said, "I'm in the sales department. I'm coming up now."

"You didn't go to Haoye?" Zhang Chunshan was surprised, and then it became clear: "Alright, you can come up."

Qi Man passed by her colleague generously. Just after she walked, there were constant discussions, mostly regretting her. Ding Su looked at the computer screen. In the small group, Zhang Ling was excited about signing a contract with Haoye. She only felt uncomfortable. Also feels more distressed for Qi Man.

After Qi Man went up to the top floor, the secretary took her directly to see Zhang Chunshan. The man was sitting on the sofa with a neat suit. Because of his age, he had a hunched back, white hair on the temples, and wrinkles on his forehead. When he raised his eyes, he was full. It was a gully. He saw Qi Man come and waved: "Man Man, come and sit down."

Zhang Chunshan patted the position next to him, Qi Man walked over and sat beside him, Zhang Chunshan poured her a cup of tea personally: "Man Man, do you remember your mother?"

Her mother? Qi Man stiffened for a few seconds, then slowly shook his head: "I don't remember."

She was only three years old when the accident happened, and she couldn't think of what her mother was like in the memory search, only remembered the endless quarrel, and Zhou Fu's heartbreaking cry, finally turned into despair, and led her into the sea.

"Your mother is very nice, but a bit stubborn. You look like her." Zhang Chunshan took a photo frame from the coffee table and handed it to Qi Man: "This is a photo of your mother. Do you still have an impression?"

The person in the photo wears a light blue embroidered cheongsam, with a slender figure, soft facial features, and a closer look. Qi Man and her are somewhat similar. Zhang Chunshan said: "My mother and I are in free love. At that time, I was busy at work. , She just got married and couldn't take care of her, she started to think about her, and came to my company several times to make trouble."

"I was busy with the company and taking care of her. I was exhausted. One day I made a mistake when I was drunk."

"Manman, I told you this not to make you forgive me. I am old. Sooner or later this company will belong to you two children. I know that you have not been home for so many years and have no deep feelings for me, but you are me. The flesh and blood of Chunshan, the blood of Zhang Chunshan shed in your body, we are the closest relationship, and there is no hatred that we can't live with."

Qi Man raised his eyes: "Mr. Zhang, there is no hatred between us."

Zhang Chunshan dissatisfied: "Then you can't call me Dad in private?"

Qi Man didn’t come back. It was his heart disease. When he came back, it was his heart disease. This child was not close to him. Although he hadn’t been around for so many years, it was a bit unaccustomed to ask her to get close after returning, but he still wanted to see Qi Man has changed a little. Don't be so cold anymore. This makes him feel very insecure and dare not delegate power to Qi Man.

For the 480 project, he knew that Zhang Ling wanted to take Qi Man’s plan. He still acquiesced. He thought that Qi Man would cry to himself and would come to him. Then he would give him another word of comfort and return the project to Qi Man, so that he could get closer. Their father-daughter relationship.

But no.

Qi Man didn’t feel like his father. He didn’t ask him to complain, didn’t ask him to be fair, and didn’t even take the initiative to contact him. Zhang Chunshan didn’t like this kind of relationship. He wanted a sensible and clever daughter. I hope to get closer to myself.

Qi Man was silent for a few seconds.

Dad, since she remembered, she hadn't called this title. These two words were the same as the others and had no special meaning, but now--Qi Man looked embarrassed.

Zhang Chunshan saw that her expression fluctuated and said, "Man Man, if you blame your dad because of the past, dad is willing to accept it, you can beat me and scold me!"

He took Qi Man's hand, his palm was rough, Qi Man looked down, his face was strained, and Zhang Chunshan said, "Can you call me Dad?"

"I—" I could still scream before, but now being so driven by words, Qi Man suddenly had his tongue cut off. He opened his mouth several times, but couldn't scream out.

Zhang Chunshan patted the back of her hand when he saw it: "It's okay, take your time, it's okay, if you can't call it out today, tomorrow, Dad will wait for you."

Qi Man pursed his lips.

"Let's have dinner together at noon?" Zhang Chunshan said, "I will let the secretary book the hotel."

"No need." Qi Man declined: "I'm going to the factory at noon."

"What are you going to do to the factory?" Zhang Chunshan said: "I heard Lingling say that the 480 project has been fully set?"

Qi Man nodded: "Yeah."

"Just make it." Zhang Chunshan said: "You have done your best for this project. Let Dad treat you well at noon."

"But I decided a time with the factory at noon."

Qi Man looked career-oriented, Zhang Chunshan smiled helplessly: "Okay, Dad listens to you."

His petting look always made Qi Man feel uncomfortable. She was unwilling to stay longer and stood up and said, "Then I will go out first."

"Manman." Zhang Chunshan said: "Go and see your mother. It's been more than 20 years. She must miss you."

Qi Man's figure paused for a few seconds, then opened his lips: "Where is she?"

Zhang Chunshan gave her the address of the cemetery. Qi Man squeezed it in his hand and walked out as usual. Instead of returning to the sales department, he went directly to the bathroom.

The small note included the address of her mother who had been lying down for more than 20 years. Qi Man thought she had no feeling for Zhou Fu, but when she saw Zhou Fu’s photos, scattered memories still followed. She was in a daze of the scene of Zhou Fu holding her to read. The unreality that seemed to be lying in her mother's arms enveloped Qi Man, making her unable to face it with a normal heart for a while.

She leaned against the wall of the bathroom with tiles on her back. A cold feeling hit her and stimulated all her nerves. Qi Man took two deep breaths. She stuffed the note in her pocket, washed her face with cold water, and returned to the sales department. .

As lunch time approached, after Qi Man went back, everyone invited her to eat together. She carried her bag and said, "I want to go to the factory. You can eat by yourself."

Ding Su followed her out of the sales department: "Sister Man, let me accompany you."

Qi Man: "No, you can go back to work."

She went to play in the factory and wanted to go to the cemetery. It was not convenient for someone to follow her. Ding Su's eyes were dim. She said, "Sister Man, don't be uncomfortable secretly."

Qi Man was amused: "What am I upset about?"

"Only 480 items—"

"It's okay." Qi Man said: "Everyone does the same project. If you don't talk about it, I will leave first."

It's not that she doesn't believe in Ding Su, it's just that her plan is not used to sharing it with outsiders. Ding Su treats her well, but she is not so easy to believe in others.

Qi Man, who walked out of the company, looked up at the blazing sun, like a fire. After standing in the sun for a while, she could notice a burning sensation and pain in her skin. She rubbed her arms and walked quickly to the parking lot near the company.

The red car crosses the road, forming a beautiful landscape.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Li Yanzhi retracted his gaze, and Lou Ya reported the situation behind him and asked: "Mr. Li, what do you mean?"

G State Automobile Technology Conference, Li Yanzhi has always been a special guest on occasions like this. Many people went to her. In the past years, Li Yanzhi would go there. Lou Ya's questioning was just a routine question. How much does Li Yanzhi think Seconds: "When?"

"The day after tomorrow, in Jiangping City, the organizer has already booked a hotel for you."

Li Yanzhi nodded slightly.

Lou Ya understood, and ticked the itinerary. Li Yanzhi's cell phone rang in the quiet office. She glanced at Lou Ya: "Go out first."

There was a kick of high heels, the door closed gently, and Li Yanzhi answered the phone: "Aunt Tang."

Tang Yun leaned on the office chair: "The contract is signed."

Li Yanzhi smiled slightly: "Thank you Aunt Tang for your help."

"Thank me for what I did." Tang Yun said, "You don't have to thank me for the business that gave me money."

Li Yanzhi didn't say a word, and Tang Yun said again: "By the way, how did Jin Rong change the person in charge? Wasn't it still Qi Man before?"

"Mr. Zhang changed it." Li Yanzhi said nothing: "Qi Man has other projects."

"That's it." Tang Yun said, "This project is complete. When will you come out to have a meal with Auntie?"

Li Yanzhi thought for a few seconds: "Aunt Tang is attending a science and technology conference?"

"You said that the automobile science and technology meeting?" Tang Yun said: "I received the invitation letter, are you going too?"

Li Yanzhi laughed: "Well, see you then."

Tang Yun has a gentle voice: "See you then, the day after tomorrow, right? It's a pity, I was planning to see your parents the day after tomorrow."

Li Yanzhi suppressed a smile.

The day after tomorrow is the death day of her parents.

After she hung up the phone, she pressed the inside line to let Lou Ya prepare two bunches of flowers.

The sunlight came in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and it became more and more sultry.

Today is not suitable for any outdoor activities. Qi Man originally planned to go to the cemetery after she came out of the factory. After seeing the weather for a while, she went to the supermarket next door to buy two cones. She got in the car, turned on the air conditioner and music, and tried to relax herself. Unfolding to make her emotionally comfortable, but she failed. The cone slowly melted and she didn't eat a bite. Finally, she threw it into a nearby trash can. Qi Man sat in the car for half an hour and then navigated to the cemetery.

She hadn’t been here in 25 years. Even when Zhou Fu didn’t exist, she had only one mother, her adoptive mother. She always thought that she thought so, but when she was going to see Zhou Fu, she still couldn’t help it. Uncomfortable, an inexplicable emotion locked in her chest, difficult to digest.

Qi Man and Navigator swayed to the cemetery on the outskirts. There was a large parking lot at the door, but there were few cars. It was hot. She wanted to park the car in the shade of the trees and searched for a circle before she found it. In a location near a tree, after getting off the car, she searched around and found a flower seller. The flowers were not fresh, and they lost their moisture in the hot sun. The clerk asked her to buy a bunch of fake flowers. Qi Man shook his head. , After choosing for a long time, I chose a bunch of Bai Baihe.

She carried the flowers into the cemetery. There was an uncle at the door. He smiled when he saw Qi Man, and Qi Man smiled back. She walked forward, and according to the reminder on the sticky note, the fifth in the third row.

Qi Man had never been here before, and she had a bad sense of direction. She couldn't find it after two rounds. The uncle couldn't go over and shouted, "Girl, where do you look for?"

Qi Man stood still and said: "I'm looking for Zhang Chunshan's wife, Zhou Fu."

"From Mr. Zhang's family, did you see that trail? Go in from there." The uncle pointed to the direction, Qi Man nodded slightly, and went in the direction of his finger. There is no cave inside, and the tombstones are all white and white jade, and the outside is a little messy. It's different. There is a sense of solemnity here. About the rich, they like to be different.

Qi Man glanced around and didn't find Zhou Fu's tombstone, but saw one person first.

There was movement behind Li Yanzhi, and her bodyguard said, "Ms. Li, Miss Qi is here."

Miss Qi?

Qi Man?

Why is she here?

Li Yanzhi turned his head for two seconds, and saw Qi Man standing not far away holding a lily, his eyes facing each other, Qi Man only felt embarrassed.

"Ms. Li's parents are here?" After Qi Man asked, he found out that she was talking nonsense. Almost all here are'celebrities' in the city. It's not surprising that Li Yanzhi's parents are here. She looks at the tombstone to ease the embarrassment. Two photos were posted on his tombstone, both young, Li Yanzhi whispered: "Why are you here?"

"Look at me—" Qi Man pursed his lips: "Look at my mother."

This sound is easier for mom to call out than dad.

Li Yanzhi nodded slightly.

In the scorching sun, the two stood next to each other in front of the tombstone. Qi Man felt the atmosphere froze. She said, "Then I won't bother Mr. Li, let's go."

Li Yanzhi looked at her turned back, stretched very long, slender, and straight by the sun. She stood behind Qi Man, her lips moved, and shouted, "Qi Man."

Qi Man froze, without turning his head, Li Yanzhi said, "Say hello to my aunt for me."

She was close at hand, but she wanted someone to speak, Qi Man raised her head and chest, her voice clear: "Thank you."

She stepped on stiletto heels and quickly walked out of Li Yanzhi. The third row was at the forefront. The closer Qi Man was, the faster her heartbeat. When she saw the word Zhou Fu on the tombstone not far away, she slowed down. Go over it lightly.

Before bending down to put down the flower, I heard a faint voice beside him: "Sister, is there any water?"

Qi Man was taken aback for a moment. All the sad emotions that had been brewing were almost taken off by the sound. She turned her head to see that a girl in a white dress was lying next to the tombstone a few meters away, looking weak, Qi Man put down the flowers and walked over. Seeing the girl's face flushed and dry lips, she seemed to be about to have heat stroke, the girl saw her walking over and shouted: "Sister, is there any water?"

"In the car." Qi Man said: "Did you have heat stroke? I will help you out?"

"My legs are soft." The girl was about to cry: "I'm still dizzy."

Qi Man touched her arm, it was very hot, and her face was more ruddy. She touched her hand, the temperature was too high, Qi Man said: "I will take you to the car."

After she finished talking, she was about to lift up the girl. She supported it and found that it was a bit heavy and it was high temperature. The two of them were sweating, and the skin they touched became red within a few seconds. This would not work. Qi Man thought that Li Yanzhi was not far away. She said: "You wait for a few seconds, I'll call someone."

After she finished speaking, the hem of her clothes was held by someone. Qi Man looked down. The girl's white hands were completely red and she was very weak, but she was very weak. She seemed afraid that she would not return as soon as she left. Qi Man's heart was touched. She helped the girl sit in the shade behind the tombstone and said, "Wait for a few seconds."

He Ci's hand was released. She looked up. Qi Man was tall, thin and weak. The few minutes she had just helped her, her face was sweaty, her cheeks were flushed, but her eyes were unusually bright, and her red lips moved. It seemed to say something, but He Ci couldn't hear a little buzzing in her ears. She just felt numb all over and couldn't stand up.

There is an illusion of dying here.

Why did she want to cry without tears, she was just going to come to her mother to cry, and go back to her father to settle the account, who knows that the temperature was too high today, she was crying and crying, and she fainted due to heatstroke, and when she woke up, she felt sick She wanted to go out but found her legs were weak, she couldn’t call someone, she didn’t have the strength to call, her hands were shaking and numb, and her heart was still aching. When she was about to despair, there was the sound of high heels next to her. She looked up. Saw Qi Man.

"This, this, this!" The voice that had just left came back again, as if it was stuck in Heci's ear: "Here!"

He Ci raised her eyes and saw Qi Man trot over, her forehead was covered with fine sweat, her chest was soaked, revealing a very beautiful swan neck, He Ci was hugged by someone before she could speak, and walked outside. go with.

Qi Man and Li Yanzhi followed closely behind him.

Li Yanzhi paused when he saw the girl's pretty face.

Qi Man surpassed her, and the group of people walked formidable in the direction of the parking lot. Qi Man's car was parked in the shade. She asked her bodyguard to put Heci in her car, and then brought her mineral water, He Ci suddenly poured half a bottle into it, finally feeling alive again.

"Are you okay?" Qi Man said: "Should I take you to the hospital?"

He Ci raised her head, Qi Man looked very nervous. From time to time, he stretched out his hand to probe her forehead. He was relieved to see the temperature obviously drop. He Ci's heart moved, and she said, "Sister, I'm fine, it's heat stroke."

Fortunately, the time is short, otherwise it's time to meet with Yan Wangye now.

Qi Man breathed a sigh of relief when her body temperature had dropped, and she said, "You drink some more water."

He Ci took another big sip, and her heartbeat gradually returned to normal. She seemed to run around from a ghost gate, and finally Qi Man pulled her back, which made He Ci have a different kind of dependence on Qi Man.

Qi Man didn't think so much. When she saw her, she threw the bag at the co-pilot. She was almost exhausted from the run just now.

"Where is your home?" Qi Man said: "Do you want me to take you back?"

Why look at Qi Man, squeeze the mineral water bottle, his nose twitched, he was about to cry, Qi Man frowned, "What's wrong with you?"

He said, "My parents are gone. I'm an orphan. I don't know where to go. I'm looking for a job. People don't want me. I just got kicked out by the landlord. I want to see my parents again. Just let them go... …"

When Li Yanzhi walked to Qi Man's side, he listened to He Ci crying, her brows were tighter than Qi Man, her eyes were staring at He Ci, and her face was full of dissatisfaction.

Qi Man sounded a little uncomfortable, she patted He Shi's back: "Don't worry, don't worry, speak slowly."

"Sister." He Ci raised his head, little pitiful: "I'm sorry..."

"It's okay." Qi Man still patted her on the back. Why did he take the opportunity to throw him into her arms, holding Qi Man tightly with both hands: "Sister, you just saved me, you are my savior, and I can't repay you in this life. You, I'll be a cow and a horse for you in your next life."

Qi Man laughed when he heard this old set of rhetoric: "Little sister, how old are you."

He Ci's eyes flashed, and he cleverly said, "A little bit older than an adult."

After she finished speaking, Qi Man started to sob again. Qi Man had to pat her back. While watching the show for a long time, Li Yanzhi had a dark face and coughed. Hearing how her voice was shrinking in Qi Man's arms, Qi Man hummed, Qi Man comforted her. After the sentence, he said: "You drink some more water to cool down."

He Ci took out the empty bottle: "Nothing."

Qi Man looked around and said, "I'll buy it for you."

He said very obediently: "Thank you sister."

Qi Man patted her forehead and saw that she was so well-behaved to put down her guard, got up and walked out. The small shop was nearby. Qi Man went in and took a few bottles of water and divided them into two bags. She handed the more bag to Li Yanzhi. , Li Yanzhi raised his eyelids to look at her, Qi Man shrugged, and handed it to the bodyguard behind her. The bodyguard was astonished, but did not answer him. He looked at Li Yanzhi, and Li Yanzhi said, "Take it to them."

The bodyguard took it and walked to the parking lot after thanking him.

When the two walked side by side, Qi Man unscrewed a bottle of water, and the cold water entered her throat, and her whole body was clear. She turned her head and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li just now."

After a ‘cooperation’, a lot of subtle feelings faded between them, Qi Man thanked him for being sincere.

"No." Li Yanzhi said indifferently: "What are you going to do with that lady."

Miss?

Qi Man reacted: "You said that little sister just now."

"Sister?" Li Yanzhi turned his head to look at her, seemingly puzzled: "Why is it a younger sister."

Qi Man just swallowed a sip of water and explained: "She is younger than me, she is my sister."

"Is younger sister than you?" Li Yanzhi seemed to be a little unhappy. She frowned and said, "Then why didn't you call me sister before?"

Qi Man:...

Neuropathy, what's so tangled about the title? Besides, it's not that she hadn't called her good sister before, it's really that the pot is not opened and the pot is lifted, and the subtle feeling that just dissipated has returned.

A strange atmosphere spread between the two.

Li Yanzhi knew that she had made a mistake, and she remedied: "Do you know who the lady was just now?"

When Qi Man saw her change the subject, he asked very cooperatively: "Who is that?"

"It's called Heci." Li Yanzhi's eyes were gentle and his tone was calm, but he let out a bomb: "It's the daughter of the provincial secretary."

Qi Man paused for two seconds, the hand holding the mineral water harder, the bottle creaked, twisted and deformed, and a stream of water came out of it and poured it directly on her face!

What little sister! Obviously became a fine little bastard!
