At three o'clock in the afternoon, the weather was still unbearably hot, so Shen Qiaowei took a taxi to Haoyu Company. After getting out of the taxi, she looked up at the Imperial Capital Building of Haoyu Company that went straight into the clouds. The sun pierced her eyes and made her feel dizzy. , the skin outside the sleeveless skirt felt as if it was being burned. Without thinking about it, she hurried towards the half-moon-shaped gate of Haoyu under the scorching sun.

Only fifty meters away from the gate, Shen Qiaowei was already dripping with sweat. Her white dress clung uncomfortably to her back. She glanced at the coolness reflected by the tall buildings in the yard. Shen Qiaowei ignored her feet. He started running with high heels on.

When she came downstairs, Shen Qiaowei seemed to be able to feel the cool comfort of the air conditioner in the glass revolving door. She took a deep breath and walked into the hall and walked towards the front desk.

"Hello, I'm looking for your president Zhou Chen."

The lady at the front desk raised her head and looked at Shen Qiao Wei. There were too many people coming to see the CEO every day, including some girls with ulterior motives. Is the girl in front of me dressed like a student also looking for the CEO?

She asked in a professional manner: "Do you have an appointment from the CEO?"

"I", this not fluent answer already let the front desk lady know that she didn't make an appointment. She raised her head and looked at Shen Qiaowei again and said, "I'm sorry, our president Zhou is very busy. You can make an appointment first and then see the president." Bar. "

"reserve?"

She, Shen Qiaowei, came today to break off the engagement. She couldn't drag this matter out any longer. She had to see Zhou Chen today no matter what. So she said with anticipation in her eyes: "You can call me now and say, It’s Shen Qiaowei, the eldest daughter of the Shen family."

The Shen family seems familiar, but the girl in front of me is very unfamiliar. The lady at the front desk is thinking: Could it be that she is here to apply for a job?

"I'm sorry, Miss, if you want to see our Mr. Zhou, you must make an appointment."

It seemed that she wouldn't be able to see Zhou Chen if she went in without force today. So before the front desk lady could finish her words, she started walking towards the stairwell. Seeing Shen Qiaowei's appearance, the front desk lady hurriedly chased after her. At this time, Shen Qiaowei had strode to the elevator. She had already found out that Zhou Chen's office was on the 38th floor. When she pressed the elevator, the elevator door opened automatically, and Shen Qiaowei stepped inside.

There were three young people standing in the elevator, all wearing white short-sleeved shirts. One of them saw Shen Qiaowei and asked:

"Which department are you in? Don't you know this is the president's special elevator?"

The president's special elevator? In other words, one of the three people in the elevator is Zhou Chen? Shen Qiaowei raised her head and glanced at the three people in the elevator. The one standing in the middle was particularly cold and magnetic. Shen Qiaowei guessed that he was Zhou Chen is here.

Looking at this man again, he was tall and heroic. At this time, he was standing in the elevator, giving the atmosphere of the space a compelling feeling. At this time, Zhou Chen also glanced at Shen Qiaowei, and immediately turned his attention to the person who had just spoken. Person: "The work of the human resources department must be stricter. New college students must learn the company's rules and regulations before joining the company."

After saying this, he took steps to leave the elevator.

"Wait! I'm Shen Qiaowei, Shen Qiucheng's daughter. I'm here today to have a personal matter with President Zhou Chen. I'm not a new employee of your company, so I don't know the system here."

When the tall and handsome man turned his eyes to Shen Qiaowei again, his eyes were full of coldness and arrogance. "Are you Shen Qiucheng's daughter? I don't have time to see you now, but if you wait, you will be in my office in two hours." See! "

He must have known about the Shen family's marriage proposal. He was deliberately neglecting her. Shen Qiaowei didn't care about this. She looked up at the expressionless Zhou Chen and said, "Okay, I'll wait here for you to come back today."

Zhou Chen looked back at the nervous front desk lady next to the elevator and said, "Ms. Shen, please go to the reception room and wait!"

The front desk lady quickly agreed. Watching Yan Jinghong and Liu Zhuo leave to hail the car outside, Zhou Chen left with steady steps. She said to Shen Qiaowei very politely:

"Miss Shen! Please go to the 38th floor. I'll call the president's secretary and ask her to take you to the reception room to wait."

"Thanks!"

Shen Qiaowei glanced at the front desk lady and followed the elevator up to the 38th floor.

Zhou Chen's secretary Xiao Xu stood up quickly when he saw Shen Qiaowei, stretched out his hand and said to Shen Qiaowei: "I am Mr. Zhou's secretary Xiao Xu, please come this way!"

Shen Qiaowei nodded to Xiaoxu and said, "My name is Shen Qiaowei. Your president promised to meet me here in two hours. You go and do your work. I will wait for him here."

When Xiao Xu heard what Shen Qiaowei said, he said to Shen Qiaowei very politely: "Then you can sit down wherever you want, I'll go and get busy first."

After Xiao Xu left, Shen Qiaowei sat down on the sofa. She took out her mobile phone and checked the time. It was half past five in two hours. If she waited for these two hours, she would be questioned by her father if she didn't go home. .

The weather in June changes all the time. The sun is still shining brightly at noon, but in the afternoon it is cloudy. Shen Qiaowei walks to the window and sees black clouds rolling in the sky, and lightning is rolling in the distance to see what the weather is like. It was going to rain. Shen Qiaowei felt anxious and looked at the weather forecast on her phone. There was a storm in City A tonight. Just when she wanted to call her father for help, her phone ran out of battery. She looked at it. The phone screen went black, and she had to retreat to the sofa alone because she was particularly afraid of thunder.

Every time there was thunder, it felt like the universe was about to explode. When her mother was around, she would hide in her arms to feel safe. After her mother died, her father would comfort her every time there was thunder. But today, her father He no longer cared about her and forced her to get married. The fear in his heart became even stronger with the arrival of the lightning bolt.

As bursts of thunder tore apart, Shen Qiaowei huddled on the sofa and did not dare to get up. She wanted to call Zhou Chen's secretary to come over to embolden her, but she was afraid that others would laugh at her pretentiousness, so she hugged her with both arms. She tried her best to plug her ears with her hands, but the thunder still penetrated her eardrums, making her unable to dodge.

Half an hour later, the thunder stopped roaring after the heavy rain came. Shen Qiaowei's tense nerves relaxed. She curled up on the sofa and fell asleep because her consciousness relaxed.

I don't know how long it took, but when Shen Qiaowei woke up, it was already dark. It was still raining outside, and the living room was dark. "Is it because there is no one here anymore?"

She stood up and timidly shouted: "Is anyone there?"

No one answered. She groped her way to the door of the room, but found that the door was not moving but was locked. The rain pounded on the window and made some strange noises. Shen Qiaowei was scared but was helpless.

She continued to shout at the door for a while. The door of the reception room seemed to be very well insulated. She held the door and became sad. This was the 38th floor. If no one came up, she would have to stay here all night. She thought of this place at night. It was going to be dark, and Shen Qiaowei huddled on the sofa and cried sadly.

"Mr. Zhou, go back to Ziwei Garden or Zhou Mansion?"

In the heavy rain, Zhou Chen's driver Liang Liang looked at the rain wiper pushing away the rainwater that fell on the car glass, and asked Zhou Chen behind him.

"Go back to Ziwei Garden!"

When the driver turned around and took Zhou Chen to Ziwei Garden where he lived, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

After getting off the car, Zhou Chen remembered the appointment with Shen Qiaowei in the afternoon and wanted to call and ask Xiao Xu, but at this point, Shen Qiaowei should have left long ago. Thinking about Shen Qiucheng, Zhou Chen felt that this afternoon He didn't feel the slightest apology for breaking the promise. This afternoon he met with two important clients to discuss the construction of a subway project in City A, and he really ignored Shen Qiaowei waiting for him.

Zhou Chen took the umbrella handed over by ** Liang and entered the room. He opened the door of the living room and saw that Wu's mother was not there. He knew that she had fallen asleep. Usually Wu's mother stayed here alone to take care of him. Zhou Chen It was Wu’s mother who raised her, so after buying this house, he only brought Wu’s mother over from the Zhou family. He likes to be clean, and Wu’s mother is a taciturn old man. Usually Zhou Chen doesn’t come back for dinner. At that time, she always went to bed early. Tonight, he did not call Wu Ma to tell her that he was coming back, so Wu Ma naturally would not wait for him. Thinking of this, Zhou Chen also went to the second floor to wash up and go to bed.

When Zhou Chen took off his shirt, his cell phone rang. Seeing that it was his grandma, Zhou Chen hurriedly answered the call: "Grandma, it's raining tonight. I'm staying at Ziwei Garden. I'll go home tomorrow night." Stay with your old man."

Old Mrs. Zhou on the phone opposite heard that her grandson was hiding in her residence again, and knew that he deliberately did not return to Zhou's house because he was urging the marriage. But thinking that it was raining tonight, she had to ask him on the phone: "Achen , how are you thinking about marrying Shen Qiucheng's eldest daughter? Is grandma waiting to have a great-grandson? "

When he heard grandma mention Shen Qiaowei, Zhou Chen frowned. What happened to grandma recently? She must force herself to get married. Thinking of Shen Qiaowei, Zhou Chen thought it would be better to call and ask Mrs. Zhou. After coaxing him to end the call, Zhou Chen dialed Xiaoxu's phone number.

"Xiao Xu, when did Miss Shen leave the reception room this afternoon?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxu, who was sitting on the sofa at home, started to "play" and then remembered that Shen Qiaowei was still in the living room. Zhou Chen was not there in the afternoon, so she went to the coffee shop downstairs with a client and spent the whole afternoon. Shen Qiaowei completely forgot about everything in the reception room.

Because Zhou Chen couldn't return to the company after making phone calls in the afternoon, Xiao Xu went home directly after chatting with the client.

According to the company's regulations, the office building will cut off power after get off work on rainy days. This is great. If Shen Qiaowei was still there, I wonder how anxious she would be?

Xiao Xu did not dare to hide it from Zhou Chen, so she had to tell him the situation in detail, and said that she would go to the company immediately to see if Shen Qiaowei had left. After ending the call with Zhou Chen, Xiao Xu picked up her umbrella and left the house.
