Heart Stealer

Deng Minghui spent a wonderful weekend at her cousin's house.

On Monday morning, she hurriedly washed up and walked into the living room, ready to say goodbye to her cousin and his wife and return to work.

Deng Minghui suddenly felt dizzy and almost fainted.

Seeing this, Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue immediately stepped forward to help Deng Minghui sit down on the sofa.

Xiao Tuobang asked with concern. "Cousin, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Deng Minghui shook her head, trying to stay awake. "Cousin, I'm fine. I've been trying to lose weight recently, so I might have hypoglycemia."

After hearing this, Qiu Xue quickly went to the kitchen and got some candy for Deng Minghui to eat. "Eat some candy first to calm down."

After eating the candy, Deng Minghui felt a little better, but she still insisted on going to work.

"I can't ask for leave. I've already asked for two days off. I'm afraid I won't be allowed to ask for more leave now."

Qiu Xue sat and looked at Deng Minghui's weak appearance, her face full of worry.

She couldn't help but say, "Cousin, since you can't take leave from your company, why don't you resign and come work for us? We have plenty of good positions for you to choose from."

Deng Minghui lowered her head and was silent for a moment. She raised her head, looked at Qiu Xue and Xiao Tuobang, and said, "Cousin, cousin, I've just started working at the company. I really like this job and I don't want to quit so soon. When the day comes that I can no longer stay in the company, I will come to you."

Deng Minghui wanted to go to work even though she was so sick. Qiu Xue admired her but also felt sorry for her. "But how can you go to work when you're like this?"

Xiao Tuobang was also very worried when he saw Deng Minghui's weak appearance.

He thought for a moment and said, "Qiuxue, how about this? You stay home and take care of your cousin, and I'll go to her company and ask for leave for her."

Qiu Xue was afraid that Xiao Tuobang couldn't handle it alone, so she said, "Tuobang, I'll go with you."

Xiao Tuobang looked at Qiu Xue's determined eyes and nodded, "Okay, let's go together."

Before the two of them were about to leave, Xiao Tuobang told Sister Zhen to take good care of Deng Minghui, "Sister Zhen, please take good care of my cousin. We'll go to the company and ask for leave for her."

Sister Zhen nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master, Miss. I will take good care of Miss Deng Minghui."

Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue hurried out of the door. Xiao Tuobang got into the car skillfully, started the engine, and the car sped away like an arrow.

Along the way, Xiao Tuobang drove the car with full concentration, speeding through the streets of the city, and soon arrived outside the headquarters building of Ye Group.

Qiu Xue raised her head and looked straight at the skyscraper in front of her that was soaring into the clouds and seemed to pierce the sky.

The sunlight shines on the glass curtain wall of the building, reflecting a dazzling light that is dazzling.

Qiu Xue couldn't help but exclaim in amazement: "Wow! Ye's Group is truly magnificent. With such a magnificent building, it's no wonder your cousin is reluctant to leave here."

Hearing Qiu Xue's words, Xiao Tuobang frowned slightly, with an expression of indifference on his face, and said casually,

"Wife, this is nothing special. When our company's headquarters building is completed, I bet it will be even more luxurious and grand than the Ye Group and become a new landmark in this city!"

A flash of surprise flashed across Qiu Xue's eyes. She turned around and looked at Xiao Tuobang expectantly, asking softly, "Honey, is everything you said true? Can our company's headquarters building really be built that beautifully?"

Xiao Tuobang smiled confidently. He reached out and gently touched Qiu Xue's hair, then replied softly, "Dear, how could I lie to you? Believe in my ability, and I will definitely open your eyes."

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out to unbuckle his seat belt, then turned his head and said to Qiu Xue in an extremely gentle manner,

"Honey, it's windy outside. Please stay in the car and rest for a while. I'll go upstairs to do something and will be back to find you soon."

Qiu Xue nodded obediently and responded with a smile: "Okay, husband, please go and come back soon."

Xiao Tuobang opened the car door and walked towards the Ye Group headquarters with firm and powerful steps...

Qiu Xue sat quietly in the car, her eyes closely following Xiao Tuobang's departing back, watching him walk towards the gate of Ye Group.

The gate of the Ye Group headquarters is heavily guarded, and every visitor must fill out a detailed visitor record in the security room before entering.

When the security guards learned that Xiao Tuobang was going to the Finance Department, they judged from his expensive clothes that he might be an important client of the company.

They enthusiastically gave Xiao Tuobang directions and told him how to get to the floor where the Finance Department was located.

Xiao Tuobang took the elevator to the 20th floor smoothly. Following the security guard's instructions, he walked along the corridor for a while and saw the door to the Finance Department.

Xiao Tuobang walked slowly towards the door of the Finance Department with a faint smile on his face.

Just as he was about to reach the door, a woman suddenly walked out.

The woman had short hair and looked to be in her thirties. Her face was covered in acne marks and her skin looked dark.

Seeing this, Xiao Tuobang hurried forward, still maintaining that polite and humble smile on his face, and asked softly, "Hello, is Manager Liu from your Finance Department here?"

When the woman saw Xiao Tuobang's handsome and charming face and his exquisite and sophisticated clothes, her attitude immediately changed 180 degrees.

Her originally serious face instantly broke into a bright smile, and she politely responded, "I am the Manager Liu you are looking for. May I ask which company you are from?"

Xiao Tuobang smiled apologetically and said, "I'm so sorry, Manager Liu. I'm not a client or partner of your company. I'm here to handle some personal matters.

My cousin is an employee in your finance department. She has been ill recently and is in very poor health, so I came here to ask for leave on her behalf."

After listening to Xiao Tuobang's explanation, Manager Liu's face instantly turned cold, as if she had been splashed with a basin of cold water.

Her originally enthusiastic tone disappeared without a trace, replaced by a cold and stiff tone: "Oh, so that's how it is. What's your cousin's name?"

"Deng Minghui."

"What do you mean, her again? She just took two days off last week. Why is she taking another day off today? Our company doesn't want to keep idle people. If it really doesn't work out, have your cousin come over immediately to handle the resignation procedures."

Manager Liu said this indifferently, then turned and walked back to her office.

"Hey, Manager Liu, can you be a little more reasonable? My cousin is really sick."

No matter how Xiao Tuobang shouted behind him, Manager Liu turned a deaf ear and didn't even turn his head.

This action attracted the attention of the finance department staff, and they all cast sympathetic glances towards Xiao Tuobang...

Qiu Xue sat in the car, staring at the Ye Group headquarters outside the window.

Her fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel, counting the time silently. Xiao Tuobang had been up there for a long time, why hadn't he come down yet?

Qiu Xue anxiously called Xiao Tuobang, but there was always a busy tone on the other end of the phone.

Her brows were furrowed tightly, and the doubts in her heart surged like a tide.

The waiting time seemed to become particularly long, and Qiu Xue's heartbeat became more and more rapid.

She fidgeted, clutching her phone tightly in both hands, as all sorts of possible bad scenarios kept appearing in her mind.

Qiu Xue took a deep breath, resolutely pushed open the car door, and walked towards the gate of Ye Group headquarters with a slightly staggering step.

When she reached the door, she found it tightly shut, like an insurmountable wall.

Qiu Xue stopped and stared at the closed door, feeling more and more uneasy.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage, raised her hand and gently knocked on the door.

However, there was no echo from inside, only the dull knocking sound echoing in the air.

Qiu Xue's heart sank instantly, and an ominous premonition hung over her like a shadow.

Her eyes revealed despair and helplessness, as if the whole world was collapsing at this moment.

Just then, a security guard slowly walked in from the small door next to him, his eyes looking at Qiu Xue vigilantly.

"What do you want?" The security guard's voice was cold, with a hint of unquestionable majesty.

Qiu Xue's voice trembled a little. She tried to remain calm and said, "I'm here to look for my husband. He's been in there for a long time."

The security guard shook his head and said firmly, "Company regulations do not allow outsiders to enter unless they have special permission."

A trace of despair flashed in Qiu Xue's eyes. She tried to persuade the security guard: "Brother, please, let me in. I'm really worried about him."

The security guard remained unmoved, his expression still cold: "No, this is the rule, I can't break it."

Qiu Xue sighed helplessly, her eyes filled with helplessness and loss.

She turned around slowly, walked back to the car with heavy steps, and sat quietly in the driver's seat, her eyes still fixed on the building of Ye's Group headquarters.

Qiu Xue's anxiety grew day by day.

She kept calling Xiao Tuobang, and every busy tone made her feel heavier.

Her hands trembled slightly, and worry and uneasiness surged into her heart like a tide.

After a while, she tried calling Xiao Tuobang again, and this time the call was connected.

Qiu Xue suppressed her anger and asked, "Tuobang, why isn't your phone turned on? Why haven't you come down for so long? Are you mesmerized by this beautiful woman?"

Xiao Tuobang's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of helplessness and complaint.

"Sorry, honey, I forgot to turn on my phone. There are no beauties here, only tigresses. She's very fierce and doesn't approve of my cousin's fakes at all."
