On the rewards for successfully defeating a boss

"But speaking of which, Qian, when will you return to China?" Yu Wangxi suddenly asked.

This question was asked so suddenly that Chen Qian didn't have a suitable answer for a moment.

He thought of what Chi Mu said when he said goodbye: Wait for me to take you home...

After pondering for a few seconds, he replied calmly: "Let's see what's planned next. We may not have time yet."

……

Time always passes quickly. Before people realize it, it takes a long stride and in the blink of an eye it is April again.

On April 1st, Chen Qianru found a box at the door when she returned home as usual.

The box was wrapped with a layer of kraft paper and tied with a beautiful knot with a hemp rope. A note was stuck under the knot. There was nothing written on it, only two handwritten words - Chen Qian.

The font was unfamiliar, so Chen Qian couldn't tell its author, but he could vaguely guess the origin of the box.

He just didn't expect it to appear so suddenly. The last time it was sent by logistics and left downstairs, but this time, someone brought it into the locked apartment building and it was just thrown at his doorstep.

Chen Qian picked up the box and went into the house, placing it on the coffee table along with the other items on his body.

The knot was a slipknot, easily undone with a gentle tug. Without the restraint of the hemp rope, the neatly bound kraft paper quickly unraveled, revealing a gray paper box.

Chen Qian opened the box.

Not surprisingly, there was another photo frame inside.

It was upside down on the bottom of the box, and the color of the border looked familiar.

Chen Qian took out the photo frame, and the picture surprised him - it was Chi Mu's family portrait.

The yellowing marks on the edge of the photo reminded him that this photo was the one that Chi Mu had preserved very well, and not a copy.

This item is very precious to Chi Mu, and now, it has been delivered to him by Yuanyang.

Chen Qian stood there in a daze, unable to figure out the reason for this, with a myriad of feelings in his heart that were difficult to describe.

The slender fingers turned off the faucet of the sink, and the sound of water stopped suddenly.

Chen Qian brushed back his wet hair that was stuck to his forehead, revealing his entire face.

The person in the mirror was dizzy from the heat, his face flushed and rosy, but his eyes were unfocused, unable to focus on one thing. It looked as if his soul had been sucked out of him.

The cell phone, which was placed in a dry place, buzzed twice in the quiet air, awakening the sleeping thoughts and focusing the dull eyes.

Chen Qian quickly picked up the phone and opened it.

It’s Sun Cheng’s message.

The joy between his brows suddenly faded.

Sun Cheng—Chen Qian, please help me persuade Brother Wu.

Chen Qian—What happened?

Sun Cheng - he doesn't want to be the boss of the studio, but these days he has to quit and become the director of the general manager's office for senior Chi Mu.

Chen Qian was stunned by these words. He felt that he could not keep up with the pace of people in China recently.

He tapped out four words with his fingers and sent them.

Chen Qian—What does that mean?

Sun Cheng—? ? Senior Chi Mu started a new company last month

Sun Cheng—What’s going on with you guys? Haven’t you contacted your senior recently?

Chen Qian—……

Chen Qian jumped out of the chat page. There was a long list of WeChat chats, but the red dot at the top hadn't shown for a long time.

The last message was last month, when Chen Qian ate at a delicious bakery and subconsciously took a photo and sent it to someone else.

The chat with Sun Cheng did not end, but Chen Qian's mind was wandering and could not settle down.

His condition was strange, and Sun Cheng could sense this abnormality just by looking at the text he sent.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally didn't send the message "What happened to you two?" or "Is your relationship not going well recently?"

The time in China was much earlier, and Sun Cheng said goodbye to Chen Qian, saying that it was too late and he needed to rest.

He immediately turned around and called a group call with Lin Xixi and Yu Wangxi...
