Chapter 284 Finale
Qiao Susu listened to all the men's careful instructions and various worrying statements on the first floor, and they let her go more than an hour later.

She hurried upstairs to comfort him.

'Tuk-tuk.'

There was a cautious knock on the door.

Zong Fang just came to his senses and realized that he had been sitting on the sofa for an unknown amount of time.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and a small head appeared in the doorway.

He saw the person coming, turned his eyes away calmly, stood up, walked to the laboratory table, and used tweezers to clean the glass fragments on his palm.

At this moment, the glass shards have embedded into the flesh and the blood has solidified on the hands.

He felt someone behind him approaching slowly, hesitating and not saying anything.

The man ignored her and looked down at his hands, but suddenly forgot what he was about to do.

"Mongfang."

A weak voice sounded, and Munakata held the tweezers in his hand, his back facing her, his jaw clenched.

Qiao Susu hugged his waist from behind, and seeing that he didn't react, she tightened her grip a little more.

"Are you angry?"

The man still didn't speak.

Qiao Susu's hands began to pinch him restlessly, poking his hard abdominal muscles and touching his strong pectoral muscles.

Zong Fang grabbed her dishonest hand, his chest heaving, and gritted his teeth and said, "It's fun, right? You come when you want, and leave when you want. You think you are very cool, right?"

He pulled her arms apart, grabbed the back of her neck, dragged her to the mirror, and forced her head to look at it.

She didn't know when he had the cold scalpel in his hand, and it was now against her cheek.

There was a cold look in Zongfang's narrow eyes.

"Want to go out? Sure, let me shave your face first, so no other man will have improper thoughts about you!"

Qiao Susu knew he wouldn't really do that. They had been through so much together, and no one understood his weaknesses better than her.

But she didn't say anything. She just gently placed her hand on the back of the man's hand, raised her face slightly, and responded to his movements.

The sharp blade was about to cut her skin, and Zongfang's hand trembled, and he immediately moved the scalpel away a little.

"you"

He gnashed his teeth in hatred, but there was nothing he could do.

Qiao Susu turned around, hugged his neck, and kissed his white neck again and again.

"I have to do my own things. I can't just sit here and let you guys pamper me, eat and drink all day. It's comfortable in the short term, but over time, people will become numb."

Zongfang was silent, and his slightly relaxed expression was reflected in the mirror.

"Besides, isn't it better now than before when I never came back? This is a disguised way of being together forever."

Hearing the second half of the sentence, the man's hand unconsciously wrapped around her waist, he lowered his eyes, and his nose turned a little red.

"But I don't want to be separated from you, not even for a second."

Qiao Suisui smiled and pecked his lips hard, "I don't want to either. When my business fails, I will come back to be a hermit crab, lying on you every day and never work again."

Zong Fang was amused by her words, and the coldness around him gradually melted away. He said, "You don't have to wait for failure, you can do it anytime you want." Then he added, "Don't worry about failure, do your best, no matter what the result is, it's a gain. And I will always, always, always be your retreat."

The two looked at each other and smiled slowly.

Zongfang hugged her waist tightly with both hands and lowered his head to kiss her.

"Jojo, I love you."

Time flies and more than half a month has passed.

After returning to the mainland, Qiao Suisui and Ye Xi have been splitting one day into two days for the past half month. They wish they had three heads and six arms.

They first registered their own company, and the office at the beginning was the living room of the apartment rented by Qiao Sui Sui. Lin Xixi would occasionally help them out. The two of them worked all night to make roadshow PPTs, prepare for projects, apply for game licenses, etc. Sometimes Ye Xi didn't even go home and slept on the sofa in the living room.

This lasted for two weeks, and then she asked Guan Weizhi to help organize a party. After a few meals, Ye Xi's alcohol tolerance was improved. Qiao Suisui was not the kind of person who would refuse. Since she had decided to do this, she would accept many of the industry's rules. However, whenever Guan Weizhi was present, she never gave him a chance to drink.

Fortunately, after a lot of hard work, the angel investment from Zhonghe Fund arrived.

The two of them looked for cost-effective office buildings and spent half a month setting up the studio, recruiting people and forming a team of 20 people.

Small but complete.

Ye Xi mainly focused on technology and product research, while Qiao Suisui was in charge of human resources, operations, publicity, and sales. The two were very busy.

Every time Qiao Jiming called her, the line was either busy or no one answered. So he started to prepare three dishes and a soup every day, put them in a thermos box and bring them to her company, watching her eat before leaving. He didn't say much every time, just came to supervise her eating.

Every time the girls in the team see him, they will let out a sharp cry: "What a handsome brother, ahhhhh, why can't I get the chance to be with this kind of puppy!"

On the contrary, Guan Weizhi has been contacting Qiao Susu very frequently recently, more frequently than before.

Firstly, it was because of their business dealings, and since he was an investor, he was familiar with all kinds of consulting services, so when Qiao Sui Sui had a lot of questions that she was unsure about, she would always ask him for advice. Secondly, Guan Weizhi was starting to close the net.

That day, he drove downstairs and asked them to go for dinner. When he came down, only Qiao Susu was there.

Guan Weizhi received Ye Xi's text message two minutes ago, but he still asked Qiao Suisui: "Ye Xi doesn't want to eat?"

"She's in a meeting with R&D." "Oh, then let's go to that Japanese restaurant we went to last time."

As soon as Qiao Susu got in the car, she started looking at the documents. After hearing it, she didn't think about it and said okay.

I came to this quiet Japanese garden again and was greeted by the enthusiastic woman in kimono.

But when she saw Qiao Suisui, she couldn't help but be surprised, "Why has Miss Qiao changed so much?"

Qiao Susu blinked and looked down at herself. She was wearing a Chanel-style suit because she had a talk with someone today. It was more professional, and she thought the other party was talking about the big change in her outfit.

But the woman in kimono said, "The temperament is different too."

She remembered very clearly that the last time Mr. Guan brought this girl here, she looked like a pure student who had not yet left the ivory tower, and her behavior was still a little restrained. But when she saw her again today, she had transformed into a very intellectual and dazzling person, with a sense of confidence that came from her every move, and it was courage.

Guan Weizi smiled, with a look of pride that his child was praised.

"It's still the same old rule, fresh food comes first, and dessert comes last."

"Okay Mr. Guan."

The two sat down. The cherry blossom season had passed. Qiao Susu looked out the window and suddenly felt as if everything was a lifetime ago.

Guan Weizi poured her a cup of hot tea, then followed her gaze towards the cherry trees in the yard.

"I know you're special, from the first moment I saw you."

His voice was gentle and his tone was as natural as if old friends were chatting.

"Sui Sui, maybe you have just met me not long ago, but in fact I have known you for a long time."

Qiao Susu turned her head and looked at him in surprise.

"The first time I saw you was on a rainy day. You were hiding from the rain outside the school, and I asked Old Tang to bring you an umbrella."

Qiao Suisui was slightly surprised and said, "It was you that day."

Guan Weizhi nodded, with sincerity in his eyes: "I have never officially told you that I hope you will be my girlfriend."

In fact, there is a second half to the sentence that he didn't say - he also hopes to marry her and make her Mrs. Guan.

It's just that he was afraid of putting too much pressure on her and scaring her away.

Qiao Susu smiled, she was more calm than ever before.

"Teacher Guan, I'm sorry, I already have someone I like."

A straightforward refusal, without any excuses or "nice guy cards" or any hesitation.

Today, Qiao Susu is already able to stand on equal footing with Guan Weizi.

Guan Weizi frowned slightly and went through all the opposite sex around her in his mind. He had been on high alert over the years and had not given any other man the chance to approach her.

He was silent for a moment, then asked, "Is it Qiao Jiming?"

After picking her up at the airport last time, he sent someone to check and found out that there was indeed no blood relationship between them.

Qiao Suisui shook her head, "He's just a family member."

A ridiculous thought suddenly flashed through Guan Weizi's mind.

"You're not talking about the game."

Qiao Suisui knew that this sounded ridiculous, so she smiled and said, "Yes."

Guan Weizhi held his forehead with his hand, "That's all fiction, I thought you understood it all."

She slowly put down the teacup and smiled, "I'm in this business now, and no one understands it better than me."

"Then you return it?"

“Isn’t love also fictional?”

Guan Weizi was stunned.

Qiao Suisui said calmly: "Since it's all fictional, then it seems there's nothing wrong with me giving fictional love to a fictional object?"

Love is just a kind of self-satisfaction. No matter it is a game or reality, as long as it can make people feel fulfilled, powerful and seen from the bottom of their hearts, the meaning of love has been fulfilled.

The others are just additional.

Relationships, marriages, and having children are all extensions of love.

Her goal is happiness, and getting married or not getting married is just a formality. If getting married can make her happy, she will get married. If not getting married can make her happy, then she will not get married.

After all, as long as she has the ability and confidence to survive and live on her own, all the paths in the world are just a choice she can make.

Guan Weizhi did not continue to discuss this topic with her, but only told her to eat more because she had lost weight recently. But Qiao Suisui knew that he had not given up, but she was not worried, because this man was smart in that he would stop at the right time.

After dinner, the two took a walk and talked about the project.

Qiao Susu looked up and stretched out her hands to cover her face. The sun was shining brightly at this time, making her body feel warm.

Everything is a new beginning.

She knew that she was also a brand new her.
