"The ghost is still there, and has no good intentions."

After Qu Tao muttered softly, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

It was understandable that Xi Mozhou came back earlier than him, but how did he know that he would come to the coffee shop?

"I assigned you to investigate the traitor. Have you found any?"

Qu Tao looked at Assistant Wang who was walking towards him and asked casually, but he actually already had the answer in his mind.

However, his mind was still a little confused. Assistant Wang was the one he joined when his foreign company was just established.

Assistant Wang has made an indelible contribution to the company's current size. Qu Tao really can't figure out why he did that.

When Assistant Wang heard him ask about this again, he felt a flash of discomfort.

"Mr. Qu, you've been away for the past two days, and the company has been busy so I haven't been able to take care of it. But don't worry, we're already checking."

"Really? Give me the results as soon as possible."

Qu Tao walked into the coffee shop. Xi Mozhou glanced at Assistant Wang with an unclear expression and followed him in.

"Mr. Qu, I closed the coffee shop and came over to ask you for a cup of coffee. Do you mind?"

"I mind it very much, but I'm poor and can't afford it."

After Qu Tao scanned the first floor, he walked to the second floor. Xi Mozhou followed him and continued.

"Then I can buy it, right?"

Qu Tao felt unhappy when he thought about how he acted two-faced in front of others and behind their backs.

"Mr. Xi, if you want to drink, just buy it. You don't need to report to me."

After the coffee shop next door closed, the business in the store did improve a lot. Qu Tao walked around upstairs and downstairs, then turned and walked out.

Xi Mozhou chased out with a packed iced American coffee.

"Mr. Qu, are you leaving right after arriving?"

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

Before Xi Mozhou could say something, Qu Tao opened the car door, turned him away, and drove away.

Because Xi Mozhou and Qu Tao didn't eat much at the banquet, now it was past mealtime and they were extremely hungry.

He checked the time and drove to the noodle shop he often went to when he was in college.

This noodle shop is very close to their school. When they were in school, he and Han Feng often came here to eat noodles.

He remembered that he first met Xi Mozhou in this noodle shop, but the two of them had no interaction at that time.

"Boss, give me a bowl of beef noodles, with an extra portion of beef and some kimchi and radish."

It was past mealtime and there were not many people eating in the restaurant. After Qu Tao shouted to the boss, he found a secluded corner and sat down.

"You... are Qu Tao?"

The man at the next table stared at him for a long time and asked tentatively. Qu Tao looked at him and found that their eyebrows and eyes were extremely similar.

"Do we know each other?"

"I don't know you," the man said with a gentle smile, "but I know you. After all, we're classmates."

The man was fair-skinned, with a handsome face that exuded a scholarly air. If he was an alumnus, Qu Tao would have been impressed by his appearance and temperament.

"You said we were alumni?"

"Yes, but you may not know me. I am two years older than you, and I went to Country M during my sophomore year."

They have similar eyebrows and eyes. When Qu Tao went to Country M in his sophomore year, he seemed to know who he was, and Xi Mozhou, who came in not long after, further confirmed his idea.

"Yi Chen?"

Xi Mozhou looked slightly surprised, and Shen Yichen stood up from the table with a smile.

"You came."

Qu Tao glanced at the two people standing and talking, and quietly walked towards the kitchen.

I came here on a whim, but ended up causing myself so much trouble.

"Boss, take away the beef noodles I just ordered."

"The noodles will clump easily if I take them home. I'd rather eat them in the restaurant."

When Shen Yichen heard his voice, he turned around and kindly reminded him. Qu Tao took the noodles packed by the boss and smiled at him.

"It's okay, take your time eating, I won't disturb you."

When Qu Tao returned to the apartment, he became more and more angry. Looking at the noodles that were soggy after being packed, he ate up all the meat and threw the noodles into the trash can.

He hated himself for forgetting about Shen Yichen after returning to China.

After tossing and turning until midnight, Qu Tao took out his cell phone and tried to enter the two names in the search bar.

Shen Yichen is currently working at a university. Apart from the fact that Xi Mozhou has allocated a lot of money to his school, no ambiguous news about him has been found on the Internet.

Qu Tao made a rough calculation and found that in the past three years, Xi Mozhou had allocated at least 20 million yuan to his school, and he had allocated another 1 million yuan just a few days ago.

Qu Tao was already worried and couldn't sleep, and after reading the message, he lost all desire to sleep.

A few days ago, in order to get a one million contract, he tried hard to please Xi Mozhou and even accidentally got himself involved. As a result, the other party gave him one million just for the person he liked.

Qu Tao fell asleep at dawn. At noon, he heard urgent knocks on the door and the doorbell ringing incessantly.

Qu Tao reluctantly got up from the bed and saw Assistant Wang standing anxiously at the door, leaning lazily against the door frame.

"What? Is the sky falling? Or is this my trick?"

"Mr. Qu, did I disturb your sleep?"

"Nonsense, what do you want to talk to me about? If you have something to say, just say it quickly."

What Qu Tao disliked most was his habit of procrastinating and speaking only at the last minute.

"Mr. Qu is like this. I had a contract to sign this morning, and I called you all morning, but your phone was always turned off."

"and then?"

Qu Tao turned around and walked into the living room and lay down on the sofa. Assistant Wang closed the door and followed him in.

"I was worried that Difeng would snatch it away again, so I discussed with them and changed the time to the afternoon."

Are they planning to repeat the old plan and have him go to Difeng again to hold Xi Mozhou back?

Qu Tao didn't say anything. Assistant Wang saw him yawning several times and quickly made his intention clear.

"Mr. Qu, how about we go to Erdifeng this afternoon if I can excuse you?"

"Don't go."

"That contract..."

"If Di Feng wants to rob it, just give it to him. If you have nothing else to do, leave quickly and don't disturb my sleep."

"But if this continues, I'm afraid our company will be finished."

"It's over now. It's just time to go on a blind date."

"Blind date?"

Assistant Wang was startled. Qu Tao stood up from the sofa and pushed him towards the door.

"Yes, Assistant Wang is free now. Remember to find a way out for yourself. Also, help me list the company and sell it at a low price."

After sending Assistant Wang away, Qu Tao returned to the bedroom. Since Xi Mozhou was still pestering his company, he might as well just give up.

After staying at home for a few days, Qu Tao went to the company. When Assistant Wang saw him, he hurried to report the good news to him.

"Mr. Qu, you're finally here. Our company has signed several contracts these days, and the procedures have been completed. The payment has also been transferred."

"Really? Difeng didn't rob it?"

“I did, but I didn’t get a few contracts.”

Qu Tao did not show much joy, but called him into his office.

"Assistant Wang, have you found any results on the spy I asked you to investigate?"

"I've already found out, but you haven't been here these few days, so I haven't had time to report."

"Who?"

"Zhang Hua, it was he who secretly leaked the information to Difeng, causing the contracts to be snatched away again and again. He hasn't been asked to take on any important work in the past few days, so we were lucky enough to sign several contracts."

"The Zhang Hua you're talking about is Secretary Zhang from the secretariat?"

"Correct."
