Bo Jingzhou almost instinctively raised his hand to press against his temples. He found that whenever he saw Xie Chuyi, he would have an almost reflexive headache, and several times he had encountered her when he was already suffering from a terrible migraine.

He frowned, just about to refuse, when he saw Xie Chuyi's lips move silently, mouthing the words 'plane'.

He suddenly understood what she meant, and turned to Chen Xu: "You and a few directors go ahead first."

Chen Xu glanced at Xie Chu Yi, reminded him with a sentence before leaving: "Boss Bo, we're running out of time."

Bao Jingzhou nodded and took Xie Chuyi to the resting area she had stayed in before. The front desk sent over a fruit platter and pastries, and after asking about her preferences, they even brewed her a cup of sour and sweet fruit tea. Before this, she hadn't received such treatment.

Because she hadn't made an appointment, she could only sit here and wait. The receptionist didn't even offer her anything but a cup of chrysanthemum tea that probably had been steeped countless times. She couldn't help but think, if it were Shen Wanci, the receptionist would never treat her this casually.

"Ms. Xie," Bo Jingzhou raised his voice, looking at the absent-minded woman before him.

Xie Chuyi came to her senses, looking at the people coming and going in the hall, and the receptionist who was always staring at them with a predatory gaze. She leaned forward, lowering her voice and said: "Do we talk here? Someone might hear us. How about we find a more secluded spot? That receptionist keeps looking this way."

"No need," Bo Jingzhou's lips curved slightly.

He actually laughed.

Xi Chuyi's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but curl the corner of her lips. However, this smile was quickly extinguished by Bo Jingzhou's basin of ice water: "She is Wanwan's fan."

He had seen her secretly hiding in the safety passage to watch videos of the late-night competition, and she even messaged her friends frantically recommending it.

Bo Jingzhou quickly changed the subject and asked bluntly, "What time is their flight?"

Xie Chuyi withdrew the stiff smile from her face: "3:10."

The man glanced at his watch. It was half past twelve now.

"Which flight?"

"…" Xie Chuyi remained silent, her gaze holding a multitude of complex emotions that finally coalesced into the resolute determination of a gambler casting all their chips.

Bo Jingzhou was replying to a message and hadn't noticed her silence at first. He put his phone away and looked up, only then noticing that something was wrong with her mood. He reacted immediately, "If you have any additional conditions, just say them."

Xie Chu Yi had previously proposed collaborating with him, on the condition that he help her get rid of her original family and send her abroad to study after it was over. If she wanted to return to develop in the country in the future, he would do his best to find her a satisfactory job.

The woman gripped her hand, her heart beating faster and faster, but after a moment she still shook her head. “Will you go to the airport today?”

Bo Jingzhou glanced at her, suppressing the impatience in his heart: "This is my business, it has nothing to do with you."

"We are partners," Xie Chuyi hesitated, apparently knowing that with her own strength, she couldn't afford these four words: "I can help you."

She wanted to leave a hint, waiting for Bo Jingzhou to take the initiative and ask her, but he just stared at her silently.

Although she tried her best to appear composed, she was still just a college student with little social experience. Facing someone as formidable as Bo Jingzhou, she couldn't help but show signs of nervousness.

“I can help you find him, I can also help you collect evidence of his lawlessness, and I can even help you put him in jail. Shen Wanci can’t do any of that. She only enjoys the comfortable life your identity brings her, and she can’t help you with anything else. Don’t you feel the same way?”

So she didn't even tell him about being sick.

Bao Jingzhou's patience wore thin, his face darkening to a terrifying pallor as he rose. "What you say... what makes you think you can do it? Is it just imagination? How dare you speak with such confidence about someone you've never even seen?"

His sharp tongue was widely recognized. Xie Chuyi wasn't close to him and hadn't had the opportunity to witness this side of him, so she was completely dumbfounded.

Initially, they only agreed that Xie Chuyi would provide information about the other party so he could find them. She didn't need to be involved in anything else.

"I can do it," Xie Chuyi saw that Bo Jingzhou was about to leave, anxiously pulled him back, and looked at him seriously: "I can do it, and I'm willing to do it for you."

"Damn it," the receptionist exploded with anger, frantically complaining to her colleague, "Isn't this woman shameless? She can't even hide her desire to be a mistress. She confessed her feelings to someone in the company! I need to take a picture and send it to the boss's wife, so she can catch them red-handed...I mean, let her tear into this green tea."

Colleague: "You've got ears like those of a long-eared rabbit, you can hear that from so far away?"

"You can't just listen to this, look at that woman, the way she looks at Mr. Bo could draw silk threads."

Seeing her raise her phone to take a picture, her colleague kindly advised: "Don't mess around. Mr. Bao hates employees doing private things during work hours, gossiping, and even more so since you're reporting him. If he finds out, not only will your job be in jeopardy, but you'll likely get kicked out of Kyoto."

She doesn't have to do anything special. As long as she explains the reason for termination when the other company calls to investigate, no one will want her.

Who would dare to keep someone like that, who can't control their mouth, around?

"Since Boss Bao fired me, it proves he's guilty," she said with relief. "Fortunately, I added the boss lady's WeChat last time, even though I was embarrassed to do so."

Colleague: "..."

She had just sent the photo when Bo Jingzhou walked over.

The front desk clerk was so scared that her hand trembled, she smashed her phone onto the table. Unfortunately, it landed face up. She hurriedly reached out to lock the screen, but Bo Jingzhou had already walked in front of her. He lowered his head and saw exactly the picture she had sent.

One of them was of Xie Chuyi pulling his hand.

"Thin... Thin General, I... I this... This is..."

Bo Jingzhou cut him off directly, "Remember to explain that to me."

After finishing his words, he turned and walked away.

Only when the imposing aura around General Bao dissipated did she finally come to her senses. She hadn't been punished after all. Looking back at the reception area, Xie Chiyi was still standing there, looking stunned and defeated.

She pulled open the drawer, grabbed a small hand mirror and rushed over to her: "Miss, this is from Mr. Bo. He said for you to look at it every morning before going out."

When it comes to understanding, women understand women best. The hurt they inflict is truly devastating.

……

When Shen Wanci received the message, she was standing by the window taking a break and sipping milk tea. The third-generation officials were hosting a treat, and the whole department was invited.

Fang Mo was there, and as soon as he arrived, several little girls in the museum crowded around him, chattering like a flock of birds.

Shen Wanci clicked on WeChat and found a strange name. She thought it might be an advertisement, but when she clicked on it, she found that it was a photo of Bo Jingzhou and Xie Chuyi.

Beside her, Fang Mo, thanks to his height advantage, simply lowered his gaze and took in the contents. His gaze swept over the people in the photo, pausing for a moment.
