Chapter 523 I only have you now

Seemingly seeing Cao Zhiqiang put down the coffee cup after taking only a sip, Hao Shuwen couldn't help but ask: "Why, doesn't the coffee taste good? Is it too bitter? Do you want to add sugar? Or milk?"

"No need." Cao Zhiqiang chuckled, "It's good, but it's too hot. It's not too late to cool it down before drinking."

"Oh." Hao Shuwen nodded, then sat down and lowered her head, gently stirring the coffee spoon in her coffee cup with her hand, without saying a word, but she looked very worried.

Seeing her like this, Cao Zhiqiang did not speak, but wordlessly picked up the coffee cup and continued to take a sip.

Well, the so-called balancing of public and private matters is actually just a nice name that makes sense. Basically, Cao Zhiqiang came here in a hurry this time just to resolve private matters, or to appease Hao Shuwen.

How should I put it? In the final analysis, regarding Hao Shuwen, Cao Zhiqiang misjudged human nature and the sensibility of women.

In fact, Cao Zhiqiang's return to China this time was a relatively hasty operation. The original purpose was just to safely deliver the "special rewards" for signing in to the system.

After it was delivered safely, because the prize was too special, it alarmed the top officials of the country, so Cao Zhiqiang had to be brought back to the capital.

The purpose of bringing Cao Zhiqiang back to the capital was not to interrogate him, but to better protect him and to have further contact with the "secret organization" abroad.

For this reason, not only did the actual leader personally and secretly meet with Cao Zhiqiang, but he also set up a secret team with a high level of confidentiality, led by Uncle Lin, to form a secret trading channel around Cao Zhiqiang himself, specifically responsible for dealing with that "secret"

organization" to conduct secret transactions.

After the secret team was established, Uncle Lin also gave Cao Zhiqiang's fictional foreign secret organization a special code name, called "Mist", which means an organization in a fog.

As for Cao Zhiqiang, he also has a code name called "Fog Deng", which means moving forward through the fog, while Uncle Lin's own code name is "Signal Tower", which means receiving signals.

Originally, Uncle Lin wanted to give Cao Zhiqiang some special agent training, but later he thought that Cao Zhiqiang had never experienced such training before, and the temporary training might not be effective, and might even arouse the other party's vigilance.

Therefore, Uncle Lin simply talked about some basic precautions and told Cao Zhiqiang to do whatever he wanted to do. He kept the usual behavior of an ordinary person, so that things would be less likely to happen.

Of course, this does not mean that Cao Zhiqiang should be ignored, but that professional matters should be left to professionals.

After all, Anping and Xu Chun, two professionals, will follow Cao Zhiqiang for a long time in the future, so with these two professionals, Cao Zhiqiang does not need special training.

Because agent training is not that simple. It doesn't mean that an ordinary person can just teach you a few times along the way. In that case, it will be easy for someone to show their flaws.

Therefore, it is better not to teach in depth, but to just talk about some precautions and let Cao Zhiqiang continue to maintain a normal mind, which will attract less attention.

Letting Cao Zhiqiang go home to visit and reunite with his relatives is also a way for Cao Zhiqiang to relax and maintain a normal mind. It also makes Cao Zhiqiang's return to China seem more normal, so that even if he is investigated by interested parties, he will not feel there is a problem.

Of course, in order to make Cao Zhiqiang's behavior appear normal, some necessary corrections were made. For example, Cao Zhiqiang's route from Shenzhen to Guangzhou, and then from Guangzhou to Beijing, was modified by the relevant departments.

In other words, if there is an external force investigating Cao Zhiqiang's whereabouts back home, they can only find out that Cao Zhiqiang first went to Hong Kong, then from Hong Kong to Shenzhen, then took a long-distance bus from Shenzhen to Guangzhou, and today took a flight from Guangzhou back to the capital, and

It’s not a helicopter ride or a connecting flight back to Beijing.

The entire series of itineraries has evidence and traces left behind. It doesn’t matter if no one checks it. As long as someone checks it, they will definitely be able to find these normal tracks that can be seen.

Precisely because Cao Zhiqiang's confidentiality level is so high, ordinary people don't know the specific situation of Cao Zhiqiang at all, even high-ranking cadres like Hao Shuwen.

So normally speaking, when Cao Zhiqiang returns to Beijing, as long as he does not take the initiative to contact Hao Shuwen, Hao Shuwen should not know that he has returned to China.

But the problem is that Cao Zhiqiang ignores the persistence of a woman, or in other words, ignores the persistence of a woman who has just been divorced, lost custody of her children, had a falling out with her family, is depressed, but is still in love.

This matter is a bit long to talk about.

At first, because of Cao Zhiqiang's full support, Hao Shuwen had just successfully divorced her ex-husband.

However, the joy of a successful divorce did not last long as her son's custody rights were taken away by her ex-husband.

The superficial reason is, of course, that Hao Shuwen's current job is unstable and her income is not as high as that of her ex-husband. But the actual reason is that Hao Shuwen's ex-husband has greater energy.

Originally, when they were divorced, the child was indeed brought up by Hao Shuwen, but at that time the child had been staying at her grandparents' house, and Hao Shuwen was busy practicing her voice and piano and making records, and did not have much time to take care of the child.

As for Hao Shuwen's ex-husband, he first went back to Shenzhen during that time, clarified the company's situation, settled the mistress, and then resolutely returned to the capital. With the support of his son's grandparents, he found Hao Shuwen again and treated her.

Coercion and inducement were used.

The superficial reason for wanting to get back the custody of the child is that Hao Shuwen has no time to take care of the child and is not a qualified mother, so she wants to get back the custody of the child.

It just so happened that some time ago, Hao Shuwen often held parties with people in the courtyard house bought by Cao Zhiqiang. Some of them were persuaded by Hao Shuwen's ex-husband, and they also supported her, accusing Hao Shuwen of living a corrupt life and having a bad style.

Then Hao Shuwen's ex-husband threatened Hao Shuwen that if she did not agree to give him custody of the child, he would go to court to sue her.

When the time comes, if a witness points out that her lifestyle is bad and she secretly holds parties at home, she might even go to jail, not to mention not being able to get custody rights!

And if Hao Shuwen was willing to give in and give the child to him, then he would agree to give Hao Shuwen two thousand yuan at a time and then cancel everything in one go.

Because there were witnesses of people at the party and some secretly taken photos of the party, which clearly showed Hao Shuwen dancing, Hao Shuwen compromised.

In the end, Hao Shuwen agreed to transfer the child custody rights to her ex-husband and wrote a formal contract, while her ex-husband returned the film and photos secretly taken to her, which was considered a favor.

From then on, the two of them lived apart and had no contact with each other.

At that time, Cao Zhiqiang happened to be on a business trip in Japan. Hao Shuwen's parents and brothers didn't care about her at all. She was yelling at the sky and the earth. Only then did she realize that she was so weak and helpless when she was alone.

, her past glory has little to do with herself, it all depends on the prestige of her parents and her husband's family.

Now that she no longer has the support of her family and her husband's family, she can't even protect her own child, and is easily manipulated.

Although there are also Hao Shuwen's own problems, in the final analysis, Hao Shuwen has lost her backer.

Fortunately, the matter between Hao Shuwen and Cao Zhiqiang was too secretive and no one knew about their relationship. Otherwise, I am afraid that it would not be so easy to pass the test and the child custody rights would only be taken away.

After all, Hao Shuwen's ex-husband can cheat during marriage, but he will never allow his wife to have an affair with another man before the divorce, and he will never allow himself to be a cuckold.

You may think this is too overbearing, but in this world, it is natural.

In short, during that time, Hao Shuwen was particularly helpless, and the more helpless she became, the more she missed Cao Zhiqiang.

So Hao Shuwen often went to Cao Zhiqiang's workplace, hotel and other places to inquire about Cao Zhiqiang, hoping to meet Cao Zhiqiang as soon as possible.

Hao Shuwen had a falling out with her family. It was only a private matter and no outsiders would know about it.

Therefore, when facing outsiders, Hao Shuwen can still act like a fox and a tiger.

Therefore, whether it is Chen Jiabang or Cao Jiajia from Hongguang Publishing House, or the front desk manager of Jianguo Hotel, they have all met Hao Shuwen and received requests from her to notify her as soon as Cao Zhiqiang returns.

Hao Shuwen is an officially signed singer of the record company. She has already released a hit record before. In addition, Hao Shuwen is Cao Zhiqiang's god-sister, so if she comes to Cao Zhiqiang for urgent matters, no one will suspect that there is something wrong, so everyone agrees.

In this way, the day after Cao Zhiqiang returned to Beijing, Hao Shuwen received the news and came to Jianguo Hotel in person, wanting to meet Cao Zhiqiang and relive old dreams with Cao Zhiqiang.

Unfortunately, at that time, Cao Zhiqiang had Wu Qinghong by his side, so it was not convenient to meet Hao Shuwen alone in the room, so he made a new appointment.

This time happens to be the time when Wu Qinghong goes to school, such as this morning.

In other words, early this morning, as soon as Wu Qinghong went to school, Hao Shuwen couldn't wait to come to the hotel to see Cao Zhiqiang, hoping to exchange her feelings with Cao Zhiqiang.

But Cao Zhiqiang, for the sake of personal influence, naturally did not dare to keep Hao Shuwen in the hotel, so he had to take Hao Shuwen to Hao Shuwen's house, which was the courtyard house that Cao Zhiqiang bought in Xihai before.

When she arrived at Hao Shuwen's house, Hao Shuwen calmed down. Instead of being in love with each other or crying, she made coffee for Cao Zhiqiang first, and while making the coffee, she described the recent events in plain words.

His tone spoke clearly.

If Cao Zhiqiang hadn't sneezed three times in a row suddenly, Hao Shuwen would probably have continued to talk about herself.

When Cao Zhiqiang drank half a cup of coffee, Hao Shuwen suddenly raised her head and said, "Zhiqiang, am I stupid?"

"What do you mean?" Cao Zhiqiang asked, putting down his cup.

"I don't know." Hao Shuwen lowered her head, "I just feel like I'm stupid, too stupid."

Then, Hao Shuwen said angrily: "I regarded them as best friends and took them to play together, but they betrayed me. I, I really, I hate myself to death!"

Speaking of this, Hao Shuwen simply covered her face and started crying.

Seeing Hao Shuwen like this, Cao Zhiqiang didn't know what to say.

Indeed, Hao Shuwen's ex-husband took away her children and their custody rights. From Hao Shuwen's point of view, it is indeed unreasonable, but from a third party's point of view, speaking objectively, Cao Zhiqiang thinks this is good.

You know, since Cao Zhiqiang met Hao Shuwen, he has never seen Hao Shuwen take care of the children seriously. He only saw her eating, drinking and having fun.

If you are an ordinary rich second-generation young man, that's fine. But you are a mother and your child is less than two years old. This is a bit too much.

Even if you have no milk after giving birth and cannot breastfeed the child, this is not a reason for you to ignore the child.

If you have to leave your child to your parents because you are busy with work, that's fine.

But obviously not!

To put it bluntly, in Cao Zhiqiang's view, Hao Shuwen was not a qualified mother, so she was taken away from custody. Cao Zhiqiang felt no sympathy from the bottom of his heart.

As for Hao Shuwen's ex-husband, Cao Zhiqiang actually asked someone to inquire about him, and it is said that he has a good reputation.

Although Hao Shuwen's ex-husband did cheat on her during the marriage and was indeed at fault, her attitude towards the children was at least a little better than Hao Shuwen's.

As for whether the child will suffer if his child is taken away, Cao Zhiqiang is not worried about this.

After all, Hao Shuwen's ex-husband is also a big manager, with high power and money, and the child is his own son, so it is estimated that the child's life will not be too bad.

On the contrary, Hao Shuwen, without the burden of children, can actually live a more relaxed life.

Therefore, Hao Shuwen's current sadness and depression may be more due to her lack of face.

Although this is just Cao Zhiqiang's personal idea, he feels that it is very similar.

Of course, Hao Shuwen is his god-sister and his woman. As the saying goes, the butt determines the head, so he must stand on Hao Shuwen's side, at least on the surface.

"Cao Zhiqiang, can you help me?" Hao Shuwen asked, "help me get my child back?"

Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "Sister, I really want to help you, but this matter, I just accept it."

"Why?" Hao Shuwen suddenly raised her voice, looked at Cao Zhiqiang hatefully and said, "He treated me like that and even took my child away. How can I swallow this tone?"

Cao Zhiqiang advised: "If you can't swallow it, you have to swallow it. Who gives you the leverage in the hands of the world?"

"But I already want the photos and negatives back!" Hao Shuwen said loudly, "He has no evidence!"

Cao Zhiqiang said: "How do you know that he didn't leave a photo to guard against you? And even if there is no photo, there will be witnesses. In the end, it will really make a big fuss. It will not be good for you at all. On the contrary, it will easily ruin your reputation. Have you ever thought about it?

"

"I, I..." Hao Shuwen muttered, then lowered her head in despair.

Cao Zhiqiang sighed and said: "Sister, I have advised you before. Now the situation outside is very strict, and there are crackdowns everywhere... Forget it, let's not talk about it. In short, I have advised you several times to calm down.

Don't hang out with those gangsters all day long, but you won't listen. Now you know the harm, right?"

"Do you think I am willing?" Hao Shuwen suddenly raised her head and said loudly with tears streaming down her face, "But I am alone, my family doesn't care about me, and you are never free. I, I am lonely and scared, and I really want someone to accompany me.

!

Where were you when I needed someone to accompany me?

If you are not with me, I can only find friends to accompany me.

And I’m not bothering anyone, we’re just singing and dancing together at home, and we’re all women. Is this wrong?”

Cao Zhiqiang frowned, but when he saw Hao Shuwen's tears streaming down his face, he softened his heart and said softly: "Yes, personally, I don't think there is anything wrong with you doing this, but you are giving others a chance.

Now it's just your ex-husband who only designs you for the sake of the child, and the purpose is just to get the child back, so the situation is a little better.

If your enemy designs to harm you, given the current situation outside, you will be in great danger.

So sister, listen to me, calm down first, at least before the policy changes, calm down and stop playing around.

Of course, I also know that you are lonely, lonely and bored now. This is indeed because I ignored your feelings and it was my fault.

Well, the album you released before is quite popular now, which means you are now quite famous.

I can take this opportunity to write some new songs for you and take advantage of this momentum to release a new album.

Then, after the album is released, a few more concerts will be arranged to keep you busy and have no time to think about anything else.

In this way, you should not be lonely or bored, what do you think?"

"Really?" Hao Shuwen sobbed.

"Of course it's true." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

"What about my child custody rights?" Hao Shuwen asked again.

Cao Zhiqiang frowned, and then said: "Well, I think we can only wait for the opportunity. And to be honest, sister, I think it is also a good thing for you to leave the child to the other party to raise for the time being.

Otherwise, you will be dragged down by your children and will not be able to accomplish anything.

The so-called public and private affairs cannot be balanced.

If you want to be a housewife who focuses on taking care of your children at home, then it doesn't matter if you find a way to get your children back.

But you are obviously not a housewife, but a strong career woman who loves her career and has her own pursuits.

In this case, why not turn your grief and anger into strength and take the opportunity to get ahead in your singing career?

When you really become famous and become a big star, it won't be too late to fight for custody rights with your ex-husband, don't you think?"

After being persuaded by Cao Zhiqiang, Hao Shuwen wiped her tears and nodded: "That makes sense."

Cao Zhiqiang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right, so always think of the good in everything and don't take advantage of others. When the child returns to your ex-husband, you can just throw away the burden and devote yourself to your career wholeheartedly. This is a good thing."

Hao Shuwen nodded, then suddenly stood up, walked to Cao Zhiqiang, and stared at his face carefully at close range.

Feeling a little uncomfortable being looked at by Hao Shuwen at such a close range, Cao Zhiqiang couldn't help but said: "You, why are you looking at me like that?"

Hao Shuwen's breathing suddenly became a little heavy. After swallowing, she whispered softly: "Zhiqiang, thank you, thank you for enlightening me so much, thank you for being so kind to me.

I only have you now, only you are still willing to stand by my side, only you are still willing to consider me."

Cao Zhiqiang chuckled: "That's right, who of us will follow whom? If I don't think about you, who should I think about?"

Hao Shuwen bit her lip, suddenly pounced on Cao Zhiqiang, hugged Cao Zhiqiang tightly, put her head on his chest and said softly: "Zhiqiang, I want it!"

"Ah?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, "No, I just came this early in the morning, I... ugh..."

Next, Cao Zhiqiang was speechless because his mouth was blocked by Hao Shuwen's.

After that, Cao Zhiqiang won't be able to help him.
