After Transmigrating Into A Cannon Fodder Scum A… Eh? ABO - Chapter 73

“I’m going out to my internship.” After applying her makeup, Qi Mian walked to the bed and spoke to the person still nestled in the covers. Not wanting to smudge her lipstick, she simply tapped their forehead with her finger and gently stroked their cheek. “Remember to eat after you get up.”

After receiving a seemingly absentminded response, Qi Mian felt an inexplicable urge to earn money to support her “kept” lover, and turned to go to work.

Because of their unrestrained passion last night, the ventilation system remained on, and the sandalwood scent in the room lingered for about two hours before gradually dissipating. Only then did Fu Nanxuan finally wake up. Just then, her secretary called, and she answered, hearing the secretary report that the car had arrived.

“Understood.” Her still-unclear voice was not as sharp as usual, and it carried a strong after-sex tone.

Hearing her boss speak like this for the first time, the second secretary’s ears went numb, and she hung up the phone in fear and trepidation.

Fu Nanxuan’s visit this time, in addition to the matters of Yufeng and the engagement, also intended to prepare an office in H City. However, the establishment of the office was still in the planning stage and had not yet been finalized. So she asked her second secretary to inquire about suitable locations first.

However, her secretary had always been very efficient. Last night, she told her that she had found several offices with good locations and asked if she wanted to arrange a visit.

Fu Nanxuan asked the secretary to arrange a car to pick her up at this address, and directly arranged to meet at the destination, so that the second secretary didn’t need to make another trip.

Forty-five minutes later, Fu Nanxuan got into the car. As soon as she opened the door, the faint car perfume made her frown. However, the scent similar to sandalwood made her barely able to tolerate it, so she said nothing. She glanced at the driver in the rearview mirror and then withdrew her gaze. When traveling on business trips in other places, she would ask the security company to find local cooperative partners and choose trustworthy drivers. The only common point was that they needed to remain quiet according to her requirements and not try to start a conversation. So after closing the car door, the driver silently pressed the central locking button and started driving. The bodyguards behind them drove after them.

“Qi Mian, are you free now?” The sister next door called her.

“Yes, what do you need me to do?” Qi Mian readily agreed. The other party, holding a stack of documents, asked her to organize them in Excel.

“These old receipts only need to enter the year, date, invoice number, product content, amount, and supplier. This matter is not difficult, but it is very tedious, I’m sorry to trouble you.” The sister had a bit of a headache. “For the M&F investment case, we are now auditing the purchase receipts. Next, we will also have to check whether the application and purchase process complies with internal controls.” She showed a headache expression and forwarded the internal email, sending the form to her.

Hearing M&F, Qi Mian unconsciously curved the corners of her mouth, and when the other party looked over, she had already returned to normal. She took the receipts and flipped through them. “I’ll give it to you before I get off work.”

“You can give it to me tomorrow, thank you, Xiao Mian. By the way, this is for you to eat.” She turned around and took out a caramel pudding from the refrigerator and placed it on the information.

Qi Mian’s eyes widened in surprise. “It’s this pudding from that shop.”

“Don’t you like this shop? I happened to pass by yesterday and there weren’t many people, so I went in and bought a few.” The colleague next door got along well with Qi Mian, so she had always taken care of her.

“Thank you, sister.” Her smile was too sweet, making people say they wanted to hug her and give her a kiss. She smiled and dodged, saying she was afraid that her other half would be jealous, so she had to refuse her sister’s hug, and took three steps and two steps back to her position. After opening the attached form in the email, she flipped through the receipts and confirmed the data that needed to be filled in the form. After roughly having an idea, she started working.

The work was indeed not difficult, but it was complicated and time-consuming. She didn’t have time to look at her phone. It wasn’t until the lunch break that she sorted out one-third of it. Her colleague next door asked her to take a break and go to dinner together. She agreed, but in her heart she was thinking that she was too focused on work and forgot about Fu Nanxuan. She picked up her phone and took a look, her expression instantly became very gloomy.

“Sister… I have something urgent, I won’t eat with you. Can you please help me ask for leave? I have to leave now.” Qi Mian barely smiled and said to her colleague next door.

It was the first time she heard Qi Mian ask for leave early. Seeing that her face was not good, her colleague next door knew that it was probably an urgent matter, and nodded to let her go quickly.

“Thank you.” Qi Mian casually threw things into her bag, not bothering to arrange them neatly. After zipping it up, she carried her bag and left quickly. She held her phone tightly until she walked out of the Linghang gate, waiting for someone by the roadside.

The second secretary waited at the destination early. Calculating that Fu Nanxuan had been out for thirty minutes, she should arrive in another quarter of an hour. She once again reviewed the organized office comparison, so that she could provide answers at any time when Fu Nanxuan asked her. When the phone rang, the second secretary was still holding the documents in her hand. Her right hand hurriedly took out her phone from her pocket and answered it. She thought it was to inform her that the CEO was about to arrive, so that she could prepare in advance, but the first sentence the other party said made her face turn pale instantly.

“Ms. Fu’s car disappeared fifteen minutes ago, and the tracker can’t see Ms. Fu’s location.” The bodyguard captain called her. “There is a problem with the driver who sent Ms. Fu. The car disappeared after making a turn at a traffic light. Our people are searching separately, and also notified the headquarters to urgently contact local partners for assistance. If you see Ms. Fu, or get any news about her, please tell us immediately.”

“Disappeared? How did it disappear? How do you people do things?” The second secretary lost control for the first time since working with Fu Nanxuan for so long, and questioned sharply. “Didn’t you investigate the background? Our company signs the most expensive cooperation plan with you every year, and now Ms. Fu is missing…” The second secretary was only angry that she didn’t pick up the person this morning because of her boss’s thoughtfulness. If something happened to Fu Nanxuan, she would not be able to forgive herself.

Due to the urgent situation at hand, the bodyguard captain couldn’t explain too much, and could only assure her: “We will definitely bring Ms. Fu back safely.”

“Assure… what do you take to assure?” The second secretary took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down: “How many people have you sent?”

“There are three cars now…” The bodyguard captain’s voice drifted away.

As soon as he finished speaking, the second secretary couldn’t restrain her anger. “It’s been fifteen minutes since she disappeared, and you only have three cars to look for people. Do you understand the situation? Now it’s the CEO of M&F who disappeared under your protection. If the news spreads, I don’t know if your company’s business will plummet from now on, but M&F’s lawyers will definitely sue you until you are bankrupt, and you and everyone in your team don’t even think about doing this business again in your life. Do you understand now? If you understand, let your headquarters send people over immediately.”

After the second secretary hung up the phone, she immediately called Qi Mian, but the other party didn’t answer. She immediately sent a message to inform her of Fu Nanxuan’s situation, and asked her to be sure to tell her if she received any news.

After notifying Qi Mian, she contacted the chief secretary again. It was almost late at night overseas, and when the chief secretary received the call, she immediately got out of her lover’s bed with a pale face and changed her clothes. “Don’t tell the other executives yet. Have you informed Ms. Qi?”

“I’ve already contacted Ms. Qi, but she hasn’t replied. She went to her internship today, and I’ll go find her later.”

“I’ll contact the security company now and have them immediately send more people. I’ll also contact Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu… You’re the only one there now, calm down, the CEO needs you. We’ll keep in touch.” The chief secretary’s voice was calm on the phone, but god knows she was trembling with nervousness.

“Ms. Qi.” After getting out of the car, the second secretary saw Qi Mian standing at the entrance of Linghang from a distance, and she ran over all the way.

Qi Mian turned her head and saw her runningover. “Anne, I saw your message.” Taking a deep breath to suppress her negative emotions, she told herself that this wasn’t anyone’s fault, and calmly solving the problem was more important than blaming someone. “Do you know what car Nanxuan got into? The license plate, model, driver’s name, if you have it, tell me quickly.”

The second secretary immediately sent her all the information. After receiving it, Qi Mian copied it to her chat box with Xiang Hailan, and then called her. The call was connected as soon as it rang.

“Hailan, you… haven’t you recently met a sister with a more complicated background and a wide network of contacts? Can you ask her to help me check this license plate? My girlfriend is missing.”
