"He asked me to hack the company, he could operate it, take the company as his own, and then, he and I each held half of the shares." Qi Mengchun said.

I smiled bitterly. This matter was indeed something that Hua Guotian could do.

"Then why did you tell him?"

"I told him to get out of here. I said, you may not know. Even if you don't need your help, I want to take the company as my own. That's a very simple thing, because Mr. Qin has basically given me the company, but I won't do that. I came to this company not for money." Qi Mengchun said with a sip of cigarettes, "He doesn't understand. Ask me for what I'm doing. I told him that you don't have to know, because I said, you won't understand either. We are different from you."

I nodded, "Mengchun, you said it very well. When Lu Yating and I left, I entrusted the company to you. In fact, this is the reason. What we like is not money, but love. Mengchun, don't you think we... are really suitable for being friends?"

Qi Mengchun was stunned for a moment, and didn't say anything, and the cigarette smoke became even more fierce.

Seeing that things seemed to be slowing down, I quickly said, "Mengchun, in fact, I think so. There are many relationships between people. If you like and appreciate someone, you may not have to be that kind of relationship. Being together is considered good. On the contrary, I think that the relationship between friends may be more suitable for long-term relationships. What do you think?"

Qi Mengchun looked at me, vomited a cigarette with disdain and said, "What if Lu Yating said that to you? Can you accept it?"

I was stunned, "But, this... is different."

"Where is different?" Qi Mengchun looked at me aggressively.

I shook my head helplessly, "Mengchun, why bother? This company needs you very much, and I also need a capable career helper."

"But what I need is a lover." Qi Mengchun said.

I"……"

"Mengchun, I ask you, are there no room for maneuver?" I asked.

"Qin Zheng, I want to ask you a question too."

"What?"

"If I tell you that Lu Yating will never come back, will you still not consider me?" Qi Mengchun said, "even if it's just considering."

"Why do you say that?" I asked, "How do you know she will never come back?"

Her expression suddenly looked a little panicked and said, "I... I just said that."

I looked at her suspiciously, "You... don't know anything, do you? What did Lu Yating tell you?"

"What can I know?" Qi Mengchun said, "Even if she has anything, she won't tell me."

I looked at her and thought for a while. It was right. She and Lu Yating had no intersection, so they probably wouldn't know anything.

"Okay, Mengchun, I think that's the case. This resignation report is here first. You can consider it when you go back. After you think about it, if you really want to leave, I won't force it. I will give you everything you should give. If you want to stay, of course it's the most welcome." I said.

"But you haven't answered my question yet," she said.

"I had answered this question that night." I said without hesitation.

I don’t plan to drag on this matter anymore. The more decisive the matter, the more troubles it will be in the future.

Qi Mengchun didn't say anything, turned around and walked out with a dark face.

She didn't talk about her resignation anymore, but she didn't take away the resignation report. Perhaps she won't come to the company recently, so I'll just treat her as she's on vacation. It's better to give her some time to calm down.

...

Mr. Xu made an appointment with Luo Heng’s wife for me, in a cafe not far from my company.

I arranged the company's affairs and drove to the cafe.

When I went, Mr. Xu had already arrived, but Luo Heng's wife had not arrived yet.

Mr. Xu looked at the time and said, "This woman is not punctual. She has agreed that this little thing will not appear yet."

"It's okay," I said, "A woman, it's normal to take some time off if you put on makeup."

"Don't let it go later. I'll tell her that you are the editor-in-chief of our newspaper." Mr. Xu reminded.

"I know. Didn't she look for you again after meeting that day?" I asked.

"No." Mr. Xu said, "She must keep this kind of thing confidential and will not contact me easily. She called me temporarily today and made an appointment with me at the time and place. Moreover, she was not using her previous number."

I nodded, and from her cautious state, it seemed that it was not a trap.

The woman hadn't arrived yet and was bored. Mr. Xu and I had a casual chat.

"I'm very curious, Mr. Xu, why did you want to engage in this at the beginning?" I asked.

"It's shameful to say." Mr. Xu smiled. "When I was young, I loved suspense movies, especially those who were detectives. I always had a dream of being a detective to solve a shocking case. But later I found out that my physical problems were not allowed to be a policeman. I could only settle for the second best and do this."

"Then your main business is also investigating some cases or other?" I asked.

"How is this possible? In criminal cases, where can we interfere in our identities? If we don't do it well, we will interfere with other people's case handling and we will go to jail." Mr. Xu said.

"Then there should be no problem investigating missing people or something?"

"That's all occasional things," he said. "If the general population is missing, it's better to look for the police. Unless the police may not do their best, we will find us. In our industry, the main business is actually to resolve some emotional disputes."

"Emotional dispute?"

Mr. Xu smiled and said, "To put it bluntly, it is to catch a crime, evidence of cheating during marriage, and property investigation."

I nodded thoughtfully, "Is the business volume usually large?"

"It's big. I can't take it at all now and plan to recruit a few more people." He said.

"Is the marriage crisis so serious nowadays?" I asked.

"Of course, it's at least much more serious than you think." Mr. Xu smiled. "There are many couples in the cases I'm acting in. It's a spy war drama. If I tell you, I guess you don't want to get married."

"Is it that exaggerated?" I smiled.

"Of course there is." He said, "I am the one who was affected. I don't believe in love at all now, let alone marriage. In my opinion, there is no love in this world, only the bondage of interests. Anyway, I don't plan to get married."

I would love to hear his story, but at this time, a woman wearing a hat and sunglasses walked into the cafe.

If I was not mistaken, she should be Luo Heng’s wife.
