Don't meet me in your next life.

Chapter 73

"I see." Uncle Zhou hesitated for a moment. "But won't this affect the shop?"

"No, it's winter now. In this kind of weather, as long as the renovation is done properly, it'll be fine."

After hearing this, Uncle Zhou hesitated for a moment, but still nodded in agreement.

"Alright, miss, if you need anything, just tell me and I'll arrange it right away. Please get your clothes ready first."

"Okay." Xiang Yi nodded.

After Uncle Zhou left, Xiang Yi called Gu Ruochu again to tell her what had happened at the store.

"Yi Yi, don't worry, I've already had someone investigate. Someone is definitely behind this. Let's stay calm and find out who it is. I'll handle this."

"Thank you." Xiang Yi said gratefully, "Ruochu, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid they would have destroyed me long ago."

"What are you saying? Between us, saying thank you is too formal."

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Yi felt a little calmer.

She was too careless this time, and someone actually took advantage of her.

She has only escaped this calamity temporarily.

As she thought about it, she tidied up the clothes in the shop and changed into them again.

This shop is her greatest achievement, and she is determined to make it a great success, so as not to let down Gu Ruochu and Lin Chengyuan's hard work.

......

"This incident has caused enormous losses to our company. Not only that, the company's stock has also fallen, and I think it will be very difficult for us to recover this time."

"We will definitely investigate this incident thoroughly and find out exactly what happened."

"Chairman, please don't worry," the secretary quickly reassured him, seeing his troubled expression. "Look, nothing bad happened this time, and we didn't suffer any losses."

"We didn't suffer any major losses, but..."

"Chairman, you must be tired. Rest today, and we'll talk again when you're refreshed."

The chairman sighed, "We really suffered a loss this time."

The chairman's secretary was also somewhat unwilling to give up, saying, "I think this is most likely an attempt by certain people to take advantage of the situation and make their move."

“You’re right.” A cold glint flashed in the chairman’s eyes. “But regardless of whether someone took advantage of the situation to break in, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. We cannot leave any trace that would allow them to succeed.”

The chairman's voice was low, revealing his anger.

"Yes, I will get it done as soon as possible." The secretary nodded immediately.

When Xiang Yi came out of the shop, it was already past lunchtime.

She jogged all the way to the hospital, and as soon as she arrived at the entrance, she saw a familiar person leaning against the wall smoking.

Xiang Yi was taken aback.

Isn't this man the owner of the wedding photography studio she just fired?

Why is he here?

Didn't he leave? How come he's here again?

“Sir…” Xiang Yi called out to him, “May I ask who you are…?”

"Miss, my surname is Qin."

Your surname is Qin?

"Oh, Mr. Qin, what are you doing here? Are you still looking for a job?"

Mr. Qin shook his head. "I'm not looking for a job; I'm here to find someone."

"Looking for someone?" Xiang Yi frowned.

Who is he looking for?

"Miss, I'd like to talk to you."

"Talk?" Xiang Yi pointed to herself, somewhat surprised.

Could this Mr. Qin be looking for her?

Is he trying to get compensation from her for his losses?

"My clothes..."

“No need to pay compensation.” Before Xiang Yiyi could finish speaking, Mr. Qin interrupted her.

Is this person out of their mind?

Can he afford to compensate for the shop's losses?

"Yes." Mr. Qin nodded. "I know these clothes are quite expensive, but as you know, my family isn't wealthy. So I just wanted to talk to you; our two families are still friends."

Xiang Yi was taken aback; what this gentleman said did make sense.

But......

“I’m sorry, I don’t know you,” Xiang Yi shook her head and refused.

“Miss, you don’t know me, but I know you,” Mr. Qin said with a smile. “My name is Qin Yu Fan. Qin Yu Fan, you should remember me, right?”

"Hmm, Qin Yufan..." Xiang Yi murmured, "Qin Yufan?"

He spoke his name very slowly, as if afraid of frightening her.

Xiang Yi felt that the name sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before.

"Hello, my name is Xiang Yiyi." Xiang Yiyi politely extended her hand.

Mr. Qin grasped her hand. "Miss Xiang, I'd like to make a deal with you."

"Make a deal? What kind of deal?" Xiang Yi asked in confusion.

Mr. Qin smiled. "This is my phone number. You can contact me anytime if you'd like."

He handed Xiang Yi a piece of paper with his phone number written on it.

Xiang Yi stared at the numbers for a long time, then asked, "Mr. Qin, are you joking?"

"I'm not joking."

“I refuse!” Xiang Yi said firmly. “I cannot accept your gift. This money is too much for me to bear.”

"Why can't you afford it?" Mr. Qin asked, puzzled. "I genuinely want to do business with you."

Xiang Yi shook her head. "I really can't accept it."

“Miss, have you thought this through?” Qin Yufan said. “I’ll give you five million, enough for you to live a life of comfort and ease. Why won’t you accept?”

five million!

Xiang Yi's eyes widened in disbelief.

Did she hear it correctly?

This man actually offered her such a tempting price of five million!

She never imagined she would earn so much money one day!

But... she really can't accept such a large sum of money!

"I'm sorry, I really can't accept this." Xiang Yi shook her head and turned to run away.

"Wait," Qin Yufan called out to her, "Aren't you going to reconsider?"

"I..." Xiang Yi hesitated for a moment, "Mr. Qin, please forgive my intrusion, but have we met somewhere before?"

Qin Yufan smiled slightly, not answering directly, but saying, "I think we've probably seen each other on TV or online."

On the internet?

Xiang Yi thought about it carefully.

She seemed to have actually seen Mr. Qin's photo online, and not just a photo, but also an interview report.

He is the only son of the chairman of Qin's International. He went into business because of the family business, and later entered the clothing industry, where he created a wedding photography shop called "Deep Love".

However, the news at the time only mentioned that he was the second young master of the Qin family, without providing any further details about his specific identity.

She thought it was a publicity stunt, but it turned out to be true.

"I'm sorry, I don't think we're likely to know each other." Xiang Yi shook her head and continued walking forward.

She didn't want to have anything to do with anyone from the Qin family.

"Miss," Qin Yufan called out to her, "you still haven't told me your name."

Xiang Yi ignored him and continued walking forward.

Qin Yufan caught up with her again and blocked her way.
