老攻身患绝症[穿书]

Chapter 16

In M Country, Qiu Xing was sitting on the sofa in front of the window of his hotel room wearing a dressing gown. His face was hidden in shadows and his expression couldn’t be clearly seen.” 

On the small table next to him was a laptop. The computer screen showed the long blackened image of Xie Yang that a marketing account had enlarged. A photo of Xie Yang’s blank face staring into the air in a dazed manner occupied most of the screen.

“Boss.” He Jun stood three steps away from Qiu Xing and hesitated. “Do I need to contact the public relations team?”

“No need.” Qiu Xing raised a hand to his forehead, voice unexpectedly calm, so calm that it was strange. “Who is he to me? Why should I rush to help him solve the trouble?”

He Jun tried not to look at the cup that Qiu Xing had just smashed onto the carpet and spoke euphemistically. “Sir, after all, there is a cooperation with you. If he is caught by the negative news then you—” 

“Cooperation?” Qiu Xing smiled strangely. His tone was light and he showed a perfunctory remark like he had lost interest. “He is just a funny plaything. Does anyone know about my cooperation with him? How much influence can his energy have on me? Okay, you go and get some rest.”

He Jun couldn’t tell if this person was speaking the truth or angry words. He Jun guessed according to the previous habits and didn’t dare say anything more. He bent down to pick up the broken glass on the ground and left.

The door closed and the room became quiet.

The coldness on Qiu Xing’s face quickly faded. He lowered his hand and glanced at the computer screen. His eyes were fixed on Xie Yang’s dazed face for three minutes before reaching out and shutting the lid. “Aren’t you very good? Why show such a stupid face? Doesn’t your team have money to suppress this? So inexperienced yet not asking people for help? You will just be bullied like this?”

He took out his mobile phone and opened the chat box with Xie Yang. There was still the one yuan red envelope received but no new messages.

“Weren’t you very skilled before? Why aren’t you saying anything this time?!”

After the anger, he raised a hand to press against his slightly dizzy head. He suddenly laughed at himself and let himself sink into the soft sofa with closed eyes.

“I don’t have that much energy…” He placed his hand on the armrest of the sofa, his exhaustion and sickness slowly coming up and fingers gradually relaxing. “If you don’t ask me then I won’t help you.” 

There was a muffled noise and the phone slipped onto the carpet.

The next second, there was a ding and the phone screen lit up. A new message had arrived.

***

The day after IUD’s heat soared, Wenyi sent a notice to Hu Biao, asking him to bring all of IUD’s members to the company for a meeting at the set time. 

Hu Biao sent a text message informing everyone about the message. Then he rushed to join Xie Yang and set out for Wenyi with Xie Yang.

On the way, Xie Yang took out his phone and sent out a WeChat message to Qiu Xing. After sending it, he thought about jet lag, turned off WeChat and started to use Weibo instead. He thought he wouldn't receive a reply from Qiu Xing for at least few hours. Unexpectedly, Qiu Xing returned the message within half a minute.
