Chapter 87

Qi Zhao walked into the elevator and pressed the button on the top floor like she had done countless times before, but this time, she saw her trembling index finger in sight.

There was an annoying buzzing in my ears, and my vision seemed to have sunk to the bottom of the sea, wrapped in pressure, and I couldn't notice the movement around me.

All ordinary and small sounds seemed to have been pressed on the mute button in her world, and Qi Zhao's hearing became much slower than her vision.

Only when the elevator door opened and the scenery in front of him brightened did Qi Zhao realize that he had reached his destination.

She walked into the office relying on her body's subconscious reaction.

The office door was open, and a familiar voice entered my eardrums. Qi Zhao didn't know what was wrong, and couldn't think about the meaning of that sentence for the time being.

It seems that there is a problem with the thinking process. Qi Zhao is like those with dyslexia. He only knows that what he sees in front of him is words, but he cannot reflect the meaning of the connected words.

"Mr. Gu, the investment in public opinion by these three companies this time exceeds the sum of previous years. The investment of these companies that manipulated the crew is also surprisingly generous..."

Ye, who had just sorted out the investigation documents and was reporting After Zhiyuan noticed a hint of smile in Gu Ci's eyes as he looked at the door, he stopped talking and turned his head to look over.

Discovering that the person coming was Qi Zhao, Ye Zhiyuan took another look at the document, thought for two seconds, and decided to exit first to leave some room for romance with his boss.

After Ye Zhiyuan left, he thoughtfully closed the door behind him, so that they could communicate more comfortably.

Gu Ci was overjoyed and shocked when he saw Qi Zhao suddenly appearing. The originally serious and cold lines on his facial features softened a lot at this moment, and his voice was soft when he spoke: "Why are you here?"

Qi Zhao seemed to be the opposite of Gu Ci.

She seemed to have lifted a breath that was trapped in her chest for a long time. After being quiet for a long time, she asked from her slightly swollen throat: "...What's going on?"

Qi Zhao's tone sounded strange, but Gu Ci said There's something wrong with not coming up.

After hearing Qi Zhao's words, Gu Ci reacted for two seconds. When he lowered his eyes and saw the document in his hand, he thought she was asking about what Ye Zhiyuan had just reported to him.

Gu Ci turned the document on the table back to the first page and explained to Qi Zhao: "This is the list compiled by Ye Zhiyuan. It mainly records who participated in the hunting plan and The cost of investment from all parties."

Qi Zhao frowned: "Hunting plan?"

Gu Ci nodded, not realizing anything was wrong, and said in a normal tone, "This is the last step in the whole plan."

"Wait until they take action. Wei Lie Film and Television Department Linchuan can close the network."

Qi Zhao suddenly laughed after hearing this, and he didn't know whether it was self-deprecation or sarcasm: "I really didn't expect that such a small film and television department could bring so many people. People put so much thought and energy into it."

Gu Ci was not very sensitive to people's emotional changes, so he couldn't hear Qi Zhao's true meaning in these confused words.

He just thought that Qi Zhao was stating the facts and thought carefully before responding: "This time all forces will take action as expected in the hunting plan, but the progress is much more optimistic than originally imagined."

Gu Ci reviewed it in his mind, and gave his answer as if he was discussing a problem: "Probably Qi Yin released Sanhe Bay to speed up the process."

Qi Zhao heard that Gu Ci was in control of the situation calmly. Her tone sounded like she had suddenly thought of something, she suppressed a smile and lowered her eyebrows, looking at him steadily, and said in a deep voice: "...That banquet was also part of your plan?"

Anger mixed with disbelief.

"No, Mr. Xu's speech was unexpected..."

Gu Ci answered subconsciously before realizing something was wrong with Qi Zhao.

Gu Ci met Qi Zhao's eyes and finally noticed something strange.

He could really feel Qi Zhao's anger at this moment.

But he didn't know if it was because he had an emotional barrier to others, but Gu Ci somehow saw a trace of sadness in those eyes.

After realizing this, Gu Ci quickly stood up. He didn't know why Qi Zhao was in such a mood. He seemed to have encountered a problem that he couldn't solve, and his eyes were a little at a loss.

Qi Zhao didn't give Gu Ci a chance to speak. He stared into his eyes and asked, "Then what do you mean by what you said to me before?"

Qi Zhao's tone of voice unconsciously rose and he continued to question Gu Ci: " What did you mean when you said that if something goes wrong in the film and television department, let me tell you?"

What Gu Ci noticed first was Qi Zhao's eyes and expression.

He had never seen Qi Zhao like this before, and he rarely noticed this kind of emotion in other people.

Gu Ci didn't know why when he faced Qi Zhao, his sensitivity to emotion reception and discrimination suddenly increased exponentially.

Maybe it was because he suddenly became enlightened, or maybe the emotion in Qi Zhao was so obvious that someone as slow as him could immediately pick it up.

Apart from the previous anger and a bit of sadness, Gu Ci also saw a hint of disappointment in Qi Zhao.

But he had no clue.

He didn't know why Qi Zhao suddenly showed such feelings.

Gu Ci had never comforted or been comforted by anyone, and he didn't know what he should do in this situation.

He couldn't help but feel a little panic, and his brain shut down for a while before he opened his mouth awkwardly and said: "...Qi Zhao, what happened?"

"Isn't Mr. Gu the best to know what happened?"

No less cautious than Gu Ci, Qi Zhao's tone was unabashedly aggressive.

After the muscles on the back of her head exerted force, Qi Zhao tilted her head slightly. She frowned and looked sideways at Gu Ci, asking him word for word: "Gu Ci, you are treating me like a fool." Are you having fun?"

Gu Ci suddenly froze on the spot.

Facing this appearance of Qi Zhao, he was a little at a loss, but after his body was nailed to the spot, his mind became extremely flexible.

Gu Ci thought about it for a few times before coming up with the answer.

But facing this result that was obviously different from his own understanding, Gu Ci was a little unsure.

He hesitated for a few seconds before tentatively asking: "...You don't know about this plan?"

Qi Zhao said nothing, lowered his eyes and took a deep breath.

Gu Ci was a little flustered and confirmed to Qi Zhao: "Didn't we discuss it in the restaurant that day?"

He used Qin Zhuo's matter to confess about using the film and television department. Qi Zhao's reaction at the time told him that she was aware of it. .

After confessing, he didn't hide anything in front of Qi Zhao, but Gu Ci didn't expect that "using the film and television department" in his mouth was not the same thing as "using the film and television department" in Qi Zhao's mind.

Qi Zhao didn't realize until this second that the use he said that day was not just using himself, but using the name of the Film and Television Department.

What Gu Ci said was the use of everything in the film and television department.

Qi Zhao suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

It's ridiculous that I had some feelings for Gu Ci during this period.

She even began to suspect that the night when Gu Ci was drunk and made her heart beat abnormally was part of the whole plan.

Qi Zhao couldn't accept being deceived, let alone being deceived by someone he cared about.

The disappointment in his heart was greater than the anger. Qi Zhao suddenly raised his head after realizing that something was wrong with his emotions.

Gu Ci, who was only one step away from Qi Zhao, saw all the emotional changes on her face.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have done something wrong.

Gu Ci's speaking speed has never been as urgent as now: "The current situation of the Film and Television Department is within the plan. Our purpose is to make them believe that they can take Linchuan by surprise and destroy the Film and Television Department and invest a lot of manpower and material resources. Now As long as we continue in the direction they expected, we can make them relax their vigilance and step into the trap, and then use the backup plan to break the situation."

Gu Ci, who is usually cautious and thoughtful, now confessed all his plans and ideas to Qi Zhao. come out.

Qi Zhao didn't relax at all when she heard these words. After she suppressed the strange emotions in her heart, she asked Gu Ci: "How do you plan to make them believe it and how do you make them relax their vigilance? Isn't their purpose just to bring down the whole family?" Film and television department?"

Gu Ci became surprisingly quiet after hearing this.

He opened his lips and said nothing, but seemed to say everything. Qi Zhao

understood what Gu Ci meant. She laughed and asked him, "Are you planning to give up the film and television department?"

"Or are you planning to give up your current position in Linhe to support your film and television department?"

Qi Zhao's tone suddenly changed. Calm and emotionless.

Gu Ci was even more uneasy than before. He quickly explained: "This is just a temporary move, just a cover-up."

He looked at Qi Zhao for a few seconds, pursed his lips and remained quiet for a few seconds, as if he had made up his mind. As if, he analyzed his true self in front of Qi Zhao: "According to the original plan, the current film and television department should be abandoned directly, but...because you cultivated Linhe, we will consider letting the two film and television departments coexist in the future."

Suddenly The appearance of Qi Zhao was the biggest change in this plan and the most special change, so special that he was willing to change all the processes he had set before.

Qi Zhao was not moved at all.

She was like an invulnerable iron man at the moment, and she didn't want to feel any more emotions.

Qi Zhao stared into Gu Ci's eyes and asked him: "Is this a charity to Linhe? Or a charity to me?"

Gu Ci was stunned on the spot, unable to say a word.

Qi Zhao was quiet for a few seconds, and then suddenly asked again: "When are Linhe going to shut down?"

Although Gu Ci had not yet reacted to what Qi Zhao had just said, but now he heard her ask him the question again. Subconsciously he answered: "Within two or three days."

Qi Zhao nodded, unable to tell what kind of emotion she was feeling now.

She only felt that she was surprisingly calm now, and said to Gu Ci calmly: "If this is also part of the plan, then there is no need for me to appear again as the director of the film and television department."

Gu Ci's head suddenly went blank.

His feet moved after his eyes saw Qi Zhao who was about to leave.

Gu Ci held Qi Zhao's wrist, his eyebrows and expression were reserved. He was thinking a lot in his head, but when he finally spoke, he only said three words dryly.

"...I'm sorry."

Qi Zhao pulled back his hand without looking back: "You shouldn't say sorry to me. You should apologize to the Linhe employees who were used as pawns by you, to Ji Yue who was slandered, and to the people who were targeted. Qin Zhuo apologized. "

Qi Zhao didn't know how he returned to the film and television department, and he didn't know what his expression looked like.

She only remembered that after arriving on the floor of the film and television department, the anxious employees turned their attention to her.

It seems like her situation is more serious than the crisis in the film and television department.

Qi Zhao no longer wasted her employees' time doing useless work. She sent all the busy employees home and left Linchuan herself.

The early flight had been delayed for several hours, and the nearest flight was in an hour.

After Qi Zhao picked up his luggage at home, he changed his ticket and took a taxi to the airport.

The mobile phone in the bag kept vibrating, and the messages all came from the same person.

Qi Zhao blocked Gu Ci's contact information before he got on the plane and was reminded by the staff to turn off his phone.
