Y left Taipei on the third day after the news broke.
As the plane took off, Huang Zihe deliberately sent a message to Autumn Wind, saying, "Next time I come to Taipei, I will come to see you for him!" The double entendre made Huang Zihe smile.
He then took a serious look at Autumn Wind's Number, memorizing it as if it were his own identification number.
When Autumn Wind received Huang Zihe's farewell message, she was sitting in a car, rushing to HK. After careful consideration, she ultimately decided to join HK.
Leaning against the comfortable leather seat of the car, she squinted at a passenger plane that flew overhead, thinking that Huang Zihe must be on that flight!
Huang Zihe's message naturally reminded her of Li Gu. To this day, she was still full of curiosity about Li Gu and wondered why he treated Shaolan that way.
The murderer of Qiu Mowen had not yet been found. In the past, Liu Jian would go to the police station to urge them on this matter, but now that she and Liu Jian had become like this, Liu Jian must have long forgotten about Qiu Mowen…
As for Qiu Ruolan, like Autumn Wind, she had never dared to face this issue directly; neither of them dared to ask the police about it.
Whenever reporters inquired about the matter, she would put away her smile and wear a serious expression.
After more than an hour of driving, they arrived at HK Building. Unlike last time, as soon as Autumn Wind's car came to a stop, security personnel lined up to welcome her. Wen Zhibing even enthusiastically opened the car door for her.
Stepping onto the Red Carpet, Autumn Wind looked up and saw Qiu Hai and Liu Jian standing in front of her, smiling at her.
"Welcome, Sister Qiufeng officially joins us at HK!" Qiu Hai stepped forward and gently embraced Autumn Wind before stepping aside to signal Liu Jian to greet her.
Liu Jian's body stiffened for a moment before he stepped forward and also hugged Autumn Wind. His voice trembled slightly as he said, "Welcome!"
Autumn Wind embraced Liu Jian but felt a lack of familiarity compared to before.
After a simple welcoming ceremony, Autumn Wind was guided by Qiu Hai to her office. Liu Jian, unsure if he had real matters to attend to or was simply avoiding awkwardness, did not follow Autumn Wind into her office.
Autumn Wind glanced at the door, noting her position: Public Relations Manager.
She wondered if the title would hold up.
The furniture was all new. As Autumn Wind sat in the chair and spun around a few times, she casually flipped through some documents on the desk and was surprised to find Yao Yao's real name: Huang Yiyao in the employee roster.
"Is Yao Yao also in HK?" Autumn Wind asked quietly.
"Yao Yao?" Qiu Hai frowned slightly as he moved behind Autumn Wind, his arm sliding across her back and resting on the desk, enveloping her in his broad embrace.
He glanced at Autumn Wind's delicate fingers. "Huang Yiyao? Isn't she called Luna?"
Autumn Wind remained silent, realizing this must be Yao Yao's alias. She continued flipping through the documents, her mouth agape as she recognized so many familiar names—models, shgirls, and several well-known entertainers, including one from a beauty pageant she had previously worked for.
"Are they all working here?" Autumn Wind turned to ask Qiu Hai, her forehead accidentally pressing against his chin.
"Mr. Qiu, you..." Realizing she was leaning against Qiu Hai, Autumn Wind exclaimed and quickly stood up. "Please show some respect!"
"Is this not respectful enough? Sister Qiu, your standards are a bit too narrow!" Qiu Hai dismissed her concern with ease.
Autumn Wind was taken aback by his words, biting her lower lip, unsure how to respond.
"Alright, it's nothing much. Now, let's continue. Do you have any more questions?" Seeing Autumn Wind's aggrieved expression, Qiu Hai helplessly shrugged his shoulders and opened his arms, indicating for Autumn Wind to relax.
"Nothing much. I just want to know what I'm supposed to do next!" The voice was so low it was almost inaudible.
"Ah ha, it seems like Sister Qiu hasn't dealt with this kind of work before. Jaes arranging this for you is really putting you in a tough spot!" Qiu Hai raised an eyebrow. "How about this? I'll take care of it for you for a while!"
"Pleasure working together!" After finishing his words, Qiu Hai's tone became more restrained as he extended his hand seriously towards Autumn Wind.
"Mm!" Autumn Wind did not take Qiu Hai's hand, lowering her head and giving a brief response.
Qiu Hai felt quite awkward because of Autumn Wind's reaction. After a few moments of silence, he left with the remark, "I'll arrange for you to meet everyone from the Public Relations Department tonight," and exited Autumn Wind's office.
After Qiu Hai left, Autumn Wind called her assistant through the internal line, a girl with an ordinary appearance.
"Sister Qiu, is there anything you need me to do?" Cautiously looked at Autumn Wind. She had read many reports about Autumn Wind in the Newspaper, describing her as charming and deep-minded; today, she seemed no different.
"Um, I want to know who was in charge of our department before!" Autumn Wind stared at the employee handbook filled with numerous female artists, intending to inquire about the specifics. Could those names just be a coincidence?
"This used to be managed by General Manager James! Originally it was Manager Qiu, but later Manager Qiu went to handle the mainland market, so General Manager James took over!"
Autumn Wind naturally knew that Manager Qiu referred to Qiu Mowen. Had Qiu Mowen worked in this Public Relations Department before?
"Which office did Manager Qiu have?" Autumn Wind asked.
Cautiously's eyes darted around as she surveyed the office and said, "It's this one. After Manager Qiu left, James didn't let anyone move in here until the new chairman came and renovated it!"
This is Qiu Mowen's office! After learning this, Autumn Wind scanned every corner of the office, which had been redecorated, and found not a single thing related to Qiu Mowen.
"Can we still find anything belonging to Manager Qiu?" Autumn Wind asked.
"Yes, but it was all taken away by the Chairman yesterday! The Chairman was afraid that Sister Qiu would be upset if she saw it!"
"Oh, you can go now!" Autumn Wind waved her hand, signaling for Wan to leave.
The longing for Qiu Mowen began to spread infinitely in this office where he once worked. She imagined Qiu Mowen standing in front of the huge glass window, overlooking all of Taipei.
Getting up and walking to the glass window, imagining what Qiu Mowen looked like at that time, Autumn Wind pressed her face against the glass and was surprised to find that from this direction, she could see Liu Jian's house.
Another wave of heartache...
Endless gazing into the distance, aimlessly looking around, before she knew it, it was already afternoon.
Autumn Wind stared dreamily into the distance when the office door was pushed open, and a slender figure rushed in.
"Who!" Autumn Wind turned around and shouted loudly.
Standing in front of her was a flushed Jolie. "So you really are here!"
Before Autumn Wind could react, Jolie grabbed her collar. "Didn't you say you would no longer cling to Jaes? Why are you here!"
Jolie roared hysterically.
"Let go of me!" Autumn Wind, with an unexpected surge of strength, grabbed Jolie's hand that was clutching her collar and flung her to the ground.
"Ah! How dare you hit me!" Jolie lay on the ground, cursing like a shrew. "You stole Jaes from me and then hit me. You promised me you would never see him again, and now you come to HK!"
Autumn Wind really wanted to spit salt water in Jolie's face to disinfect her from such shameless and baseless accusations. Did she really think I had amnesia?
But she couldn't do that; this was Qiu Mowen's former office, and she absolutely could not behave like this...
She picked up her phone and dialed Liu Jian's number. "Hello, this is Autumn Wind. Come to my office and take your person back!"
When Liu Jian saw that it was Autumn Wind calling him, he was pleasantly surprised. Qiu Hai was right; this would indeed help restore his relationship with Autumn Wind. However, he didn't expect that as soon as he answered the phone, he would be met with Autumn Wind's roar.
"Which floor is Sister Qiu's office on?" Liu Jian rushed out of his office and approached the secretary's desk to ask.
"Is it Sister Jolie?" asked the busy secretary at the desk.
"It's Autumn Wind, Sister Qiu!"
"Oh... Fifty-third floor! The one that used to belong to Qiu Mowen, Manager Qiu!"
Liu Jian dashed toward the elevator. By the time he reached Autumn Wind's office, a crowd had already gathered outside, eager to watch the commotion. Inside the office, Jolie was pulling Autumn Wind's hair while Autumn Wind stood still, allowing Jolie to throw a tantrum with an air of righteousness.
"Is that enough?" Liu Jian shouted as he pulled Jolie away from Autumn Wind.
With Liu Jian's appearance, Jolie instantly lost her arrogance. She transformed into a wronged wife, crying and wailing, "I just came to ask for clarification; I didn't expect it to turn out like this!"
The floor was covered with hair, mostly black, which was the color of Autumn Wind's hair.
Liu Jian looked disdainfully at Jolie's golden long hair and pointed at the hair on the ground. "Is this how you ask questions?"
He walked in front of Autumn Wind, who stubbornly stared at Liu Jian, her eyes devoid of any color.
In the past, Autumn Wind would have been in tears at this moment, but now her eyes could not produce a single tear; instead, they were filled with anger.
Seeing Liu Jian standing in front of her, she almost enunciated each word: "General Manager, please let her leave this!" Her gaze was full of determination.
Liu Jian dared not continue looking at Autumn Wind and turned to pull Jolie out of the office.
The onlookers dispersed in an uproar as Liu Jian pulled Jolie out.
Autumn Wind moved stiffly to the door, nervously holding a stack of documents as she stood at the entrance.
"Bring me a broom!" Autumn Wind said softly.
Wang did not dare to delay. She placed the documents on her desk and hurried to fetch a broom, handing it to Autumn Wind.
Autumn Wind took the broom and slid it across the floor, large clumps of hair sticking to it. She grabbed some tissues and carefully removed the hair piece by piece, wrapping it in the tissues before tossing it into the trash bin.
Wang looked at Autumn Wind's actions in confusion. "Manager, what are you doing…"
"I'm fine. You can go out first. Don't disturb me unless it's necessary!" Autumn Wind instructed, her face pale like grass that had been frosted.
"Yes..." Wan replied, lowering her head as she exited the office and gently closed the door.
At the moment the door shut, Autumn Wind's tears could no longer be contained. Qiu Mowen, I'm sorry, I shouldn't be crying in front of you, I'm truly sorry!
She had never experienced such humiliation before, and her sobs echoed throughout the office.
She had promised herself to be strong, but today she had still failed...
In the chairman's office, the clear surveillance monitor showed Qiu Hai intently watching Autumn Wind's every move. He observed her asking about Qiu Mowen, saw her standing by the window gazing into the distance, witnessed her being bullied by Jolie, noted how she held back her emotions, and watched as she helplessly tidied up her disheveled hair on the floor.
But when Autumn Wind could no longer control her emotions and collapsed onto the desk in tears, he finally couldn't bear to watch any longer.
He turned off the monitor, and tears rolled down the corners of Qiu Hai's eyes.
