My husband disappeared after a flash marriage, but I am pregnant with his child

Chapter 220 A spy appears in the studio

After Qiao Qin returned home, her nervous mood was gradually melted away by the warm family atmosphere.

She looked at her familiar home and a warm feeling surged in her heart. Family photos were placed in the living room. The sunlight shone through the windows onto the photos, as if casting a layer of golden glow on those beautiful memories.

Huo Siqian's laughter echoed in the room, like the sound of a clear silver bell. Qiao Qin looked in the direction of the sound and saw Huo Siqian holding a storybook, laughing happily on the sofa, his little face filled with childlike joy.

She walked over and gently touched Huo Siqian's head, her eyes full of love.

At this time, Huo Siqian put down the storybook, his eyes sparkling with anticipation, and said to Qiao Qin: "Mom, there is a parents' meeting tomorrow, can you and Dad come together?"

After saying that, a hint of worry appeared in his eyes again, "I know you are all very busy, but I really hope you can come."

Qiao Qin looked at her son's expectant face, her heart softened, and she agreed without hesitation: "Don't worry, baby, I won't miss your important day no matter how busy I am."

After hearing this, Huo Siqian was so happy that he danced with joy, his little face full of excitement.

The next morning, the sunlight poured into the room through the gaps in the curtains, bringing a hint of warmth to the whole house.

Qiao Qin got up early and carefully selected a set of appropriate clothes. Huo Siqian also excitedly got up from the bed, put on his favorite clothes, and kept urging Qiao Qin and Huo Yan to hurry up.

Qiao Qin looked at her son's anxious look and said with a smile, "Don't worry, baby, we will definitely arrive on time."

After the family of three had packed up, they went out to school together. Along the way, Huo Siqian kept talking about interesting things at school, while Qiao Qin and Huo Yan listened with a smile, their eyes full of doting.

When they arrived at the school, the campus was already bustling with activity. Parents brought their children into the classroom one after another. Huo Siqian held Qiao Qin and Huo Yan's hands tightly, with a proud smile on his face.

They walked into the classroom, found their seats and sat down, waiting for the parent-teacher meeting to begin. The classroom was warmly and tidyly decorated, and the walls were covered with children's works. Every painting was full of innocence and imagination.

A moment later, the parent-teacher meeting began.

The teacher first introduced the overall situation of the class and the children's learning progress, and then began to praise some children with outstanding performance. When Huo Siqian's name was mentioned, Qiao Qin and Huo Yan showed proud smiles on their faces.

"Huo Siqian is doing very well in school. First of all, he is very hardworking in his studies. He always listens attentively in class and actively answers questions. Moreover, he is very helpful. In class, he always takes the initiative to help students who are in trouble.

In addition, Huo Siqian is also very active in various activities at school. Whether it is fighting hard in sports games or performing brilliantly in art performances, he can give full play to his talents and win honors for the class. His positive attitude has also infected every student around him. "The teacher's words are full of praise.

Qiao Qin's eyes were full of pride. She raised her head, looked at the teacher on the stage, and then looked at Huo Yan beside her. Huo Yan was also looking at her with a smile. Their eyes met, and they saw the relief and pride in each other's eyes.

After the parents' meeting, they walked home together. Huo Siqian skipped ahead, his eyes sparkling with excitement and joy.

"Mom and Dad, the teacher praised me today! I'm so happy!"

Qiao Qin looked at her son with a smile and encouraged him, "Siqian is awesome! Keep up the hard work!"

Huo Siqian nodded vigorously, "I definitely will. I want to be a good role model for my brothers and sisters."

The family of three continued walking. The sunlight shone on them, casting long shadows. The flowers on the roadside swayed gently in the breeze. Huo Siqian stopped from time to time, pointing at a small flower or a small insect on the roadside and excitedly introduced them to his parents.

Qiao Qin and Huo Yan listened to his explanation patiently, with smiles on their faces all the time.

"Mom and Dad, look, this flower is so beautiful!" Huo Siqian pointed at a small pink flower, his eyes full of surprise.

Qiao Qin walked over, squatted down, and looked at the little flower. "It's really beautiful, Siqian, do you know what kind of flower this is?"

Huo Siqian shook his head, "I don't know, Mom, tell me."

Qiao Qin smiled and said, "This is morning glory. It is shaped like a small trumpet and is very cute."

Huo Siqian laughed happily after hearing this. "Morning glory, what an interesting name." He looked at Qiao Qin again. "Mom, do you know what other flowers there are?"

Qiao Qin thought for a moment and said, "There are also roses, lilies, tulips...many, many more."

Huo Siqian's eyes were full of curiosity. "Wow, there are so many flowers. What's your favorite flower?"

Qiao Qin was stunned for a moment, and before she could answer, she heard Huo Yan's low and pleasant voice.

"White rose."

Qiao Qin immediately looked up and met a pair of dark and deep eyes, in which her entire figure was reflected.

After walking for a while, Huo Siqian felt a little tired, so Huo Yan picked him up and put him on his shoulders.

Huo Siqian screamed excitedly, "Dad, it's so high! I can see very far away."

Huo Yan's eyes flickered, and he asked with a smile: "What did you see?"

Huo Siqian pointed to a mountain in the distance and shouted excitedly: "I saw a mountain, and there are many trees."

Qiao Qin watched the interaction between the father and son, the corners of her lips slightly raised, with a happy smile on her face.

The sun gradually set in the west, stretching their shadows long, forming a beautiful picture in the afterglow of the sunset.

......

As the days passed, life seemed to be back on track. Qiao Qin gradually forgot the influence of Yan Xuexue and continued to devote herself to her busy work.

until.

On this day, the sun shone through the gaps between the city's tall buildings, casting a faint golden glow on the streets.

As usual, Qiao Qin was wearing a simple and stylish business suit, looking capable and elegant. Her long black hair was neatly tied behind her head, with a few strands of hair fluttering gently in the breeze, as she strode towards the studio.

When she walked into the company's door, a familiar busy atmosphere hit her. Some employees were concentrating on designing drawings in front of the computer, their eyes fixed on the screen, their fingers jumping quickly on the keyboard; some were discussing project plans in a low voice, with serious and focused expressions, gesturing from time to time, trying to find the best solution.

The whole studio is full of energy and creativity, and the air is filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere.

However, this tranquility and busyness was soon broken.

As soon as Qiao Qin walked into the office, she saw Jia Lulu running in in a panic.

Jia Lulu's face was pale, like a piece of white paper, without a trace of blood, and her eyes were full of anxiety and uneasiness, as if she was a lonely boat lost in the vast ocean.

"Sister Qiao, it's bad. Mr. Zhang has cancelled the order."

Her voice trembled, as if these words weighed a thousand pounds, and each word was like a huge rock, hitting Qiao Qin's heart hard.

Qiao Qin's heart tightened, and a hint of doubt and shock flashed in her eyes.

Mr. Zhang is an old client of their design studio. They have always had a very pleasant cooperation and have completed many successful projects together, establishing a deep trust between each other.

And now, Mr. Zhang would rather pay the penalty for breach of contract and cancel the order. What exactly happened?

Qiao Qin quickly calmed herself down, frowned slightly, her eyes became deep and sharp, and she said in a deep voice: "Lulu, don't panic, go get Mr. Zhang's order information, I want to take a closer look."

Jia Lulu turned around quickly, with hurried and flustered steps, and quickly handed Mr. Zhang's order information to Qiao Qin.

Qiao Qin sat at her desk, carefully checking the order information. Her eyes were focused and sharp, not missing any details. However, as time passed, her brows became more and more furrowed.

The design requirements on the order were no different from before, and their studio had been designing according to schedule, so everything seemed normal.

So, why did Mr. Zhang suddenly cancel the order?

Qiao Qin fell into deep confusion. Her fingers tapped the table lightly, the rhythm was like her heartbeat, as she thought about various possible reasons.

Just then, a phone rang suddenly.

When Qiao Qin picked up the phone, her expression instantly became more solemn. Another big customer called and said he wanted to cancel the order.

Soon after, bad news continued to come, and several major customers cancelled their orders one after another. Qiao Qin frowned and fell into deep confusion and anxiety.

This is definitely no coincidence!

What exactly happened?

Qiao Qin's mood became heavy, as if she could feel a mountain pressing down on her heart.

The order returns from these big customers will not only cause financial losses to the studio, but also affect the studio's reputation. Reputation is like a flag, once it falls, it will be very difficult to establish it again.

She must find out what is going on as soon as possible and find a solution to the problem.

In order to find out the truth of the matter, Qiao Qin decided to call those customers first.

However, when she picked up the phone and dialed the customer's numbers one by one, the person on the other end hesitated and said all kinds of polite words, refusing to tell the real reason.

"Mr. Li, we have been working together for a long time. Can you tell me why you suddenly want to cancel the order? Is there a problem with our design? Or is there some other reason?"

Qiao Qin tried her best to keep her voice calm and sincere. Her clear voice flowed into Mr. Li's ears like a stream of spring water.

Mr. Li on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then said: "Mr. Qiao, I'm really sorry. We also have our own difficulties. I really can't tell you the specific reasons. However, your studio has always been very good. We can still cooperate if there is a chance in the future." After that, he hung up the phone in a hurry.

Qiao Qin was unwilling to give up and called another client.

"Mr. Wang, I'd like to ask you why you suddenly decided to cancel the order? We have been cooperating very happily. Is there something we did wrong?" There was a hint of urgency in Qiao Qin's voice.

Mr. Wang hesitated for a moment on the other end of the phone and said, "Mr. Qiao, I'm really sorry. I also have my difficulties. I can't tell you the specific reasons, but I believe in the strength of your studio. Let's cooperate again if there is a chance in the future." After that, he also hung up the phone.

......

Qiao Qin put down the phone, feeling confused and uneasy.

She didn't understand why these customers were unwilling to tell the real reason for the chargeback.

Is someone threatening them from behind?

Or is there some other secret that cannot be told?

Qiao Qin had no choice but to find Mr. Zhang and ask her to meet at two o'clock this afternoon.

This restaurant is located in a corner of the city. The environment is elegant, quiet and comfortable, making it very suitable for discussing cooperation.

Qiao Qin arrived at the restaurant early and chose a seat by the window. The sunlight shone on her through the window, bringing her a touch of warmth.

Her fingers tightly grasped the cup in her hand, as if looking for a trace of strength. She looked quietly at the scenery outside the window, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.

Just then, Zhang Ziqi arrived at the restaurant on time. She was wearing a proper business suit, a black suit with a white shirt. Her hair was neatly combed behind her head, revealing her smooth forehead. Her eyes revealed confidence and composure.

Qiao Qin quickly stood up to greet him, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, they sat down.

The waiter came over and brought them the menu. Qiao Qin politely asked Zhang Ziqi to order first. Zhang Ziqi ordered a steak and a cup of coffee, while Qiao Qin ordered a pasta and a glass of juice.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward while waiting for the food to be served.

Qiao Qin didn't know how to start, and her heart was filled with nervousness and anxiety. Zhang Ziqi seemed to see through her thoughts and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I know why you are looking for me."

Qiao Qin took a deep breath and said sincerely, "Mr. Zhang, I know there must be a reason why you canceled the order. I hope you can tell me what went wrong. Our studio has always attached great importance to cooperation with you and has been working hard to provide you with the best design services."

Zhang Ziqi looked at Qiao Qin, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. He was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Qiao Qin, I don't want to cancel the order, but I really have no choice. Two days ago, a well-known foreign design company suddenly contacted me and said that they only wanted half of the design fee. I am also a businessman, so I have to consider the cost issue."

After hearing what Zhang Ziqi said, Qiao Qin suddenly understood.

It turned out that a foreign design company was behind the scenes, but she didn't understand when she had offended them and why they were targeting her.

"Mr. Zhang, thank you for telling me the real reason. I understand your difficulties, but I also hope that you can consider the strength and reputation of our studio. We have always attached great importance to design quality and customer service. I believe we can provide you with better design solutions." Qiao Qin said sincerely with a flash of unwillingness in his eyes.

Zhang Ziqi sighed softly and shook his head: "Qiao Qin, I know the strength and reputation of your studio, but in business, I can't ignore the cost issue. Besides, the design plan of that foreign design studio is really good, and it's hard for me to refuse."

Qiao Qin knew that Zhang Ziqi was telling the truth, and she couldn't force Zhang Ziqi to continue working with them, but she had to find a solution to the problem, otherwise the studio would face a huge crisis.

"Mr. Zhang, can you tell me the name and contact information of that foreign design company? I want to talk to them and see if there is any way to solve the problem." Qiao Qin said.

Zhang Ziqi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Xingchen Design Company. As for the contact information, I can't give it to you, sorry, you can check it online."

After a while.

Qiao Qin sent Zhang Ziqi away, and thinking back to their conversation just now, she felt a chill spreading from the soles of her feet to her entire body.

Obviously, Xingchen Design Company was targeting her and had snatched away so many clients. There was only one possibility: there was a traitor in her studio.

Qiao Qin's eyes darkened, and her hands hanging at her sides unconsciously clenched into fists, her heart filled with worry and anger.
