Falling tonight

Chapter 43 Two Homes

On the way to the restaurant, Han Zihao sent him the address of the bar where his birthday party would be held four days later, along with a love emoticon.

Zhao Rou glanced at it casually and then exited WeChat.

While waiting for the traffic light to turn green, she suddenly remembered the video Su Ran sent her when she first returned to China. She scrolled down and couldn't find it.

She thought that if she wanted to reject the marriage, she could only break off the engagement safely if the evidence that Han Zihao and Su Ran were together was made public.

Since the video Su Ran posted is gone, why not take advantage of Han Zihao's birthday party to collect evidence of their hanging out?
Thinking of this, Zhao Rou pressed her phone to return to the chat interface with Han Zihao and sent him a voice message: Definitely arriving.

At the dining table, Bai Zhenghe held a knife and fork and looked at Zhao Rou with his eyes bent, "Sister Zhao Rou, this time there are only two of us."

Zhao Rou put a mouthful of food into her mouth and looked up at Han Zihao. He was wearing a gray shirt today and his sleeves were rolled up casually on his arms. He looked more mature.

Zhao Rou smiled, "These words make your sister Yingying very sad. If she knew about it, she would think you dislike her."

"I don't mind being my sister's friend, but I like to be alone with my sister."

These words made Zhao Rou feel strange again. Before she had time to think about it, Bai Zhenghe asked again, "Is sister really going to get engaged? In fact, yesterday I observed your boyfriend and the girl he brought. I feel like they have an unusual relationship. I saw them..."

Bai Zhenghe stopped here and looked at Zhao Rou, as if waiting for her to take the initiative to ask.

Zhao Rou wiped the corners of her mouth, her movements slow and slow, "Su Ran is a good friend of Han Zihao and I abroad. It's normal for our relationship to be close."

She had another purpose for coming today. She didn't want to continue this topic, so she went straight to the topic and said, "Last time I went to Wei County with Tian Yingying. I wanted to meet her cousins ​​by the way, but I haven't contacted her for a long time. You have relatives in Wei County." , he should be familiar with it there, I wonder if I can ask someone to ask for information."

Bai Zhenghe's expression remained unchanged, and he asked with a faint smile: "No problem, what's your name? I'll have someone look for it."

Zhao Rou stared at him and said word by word, "Ma Youguan."

Bai Zhenghe's eyes flashed and he nodded immediately, "Okay, Sister Zhao Rou, wait for my good news."

Zhao Rou didn't expect Bai Zhenghe to agree so quickly, "Oh, are you sure?"

"Sister, I don't allow you to question my strength as a man." Bai Zhenghe said seriously, with a cunning look in his eyes.

Zhao Rou choked, she had always regarded him as a younger brother, but at first she didn't react when she heard the word "man".

Bai Zhenghe took a few bites, put down his knife and fork, put his hands on the table, and had a serious expression on his face.

"Sister, Xiyue Group has just established a jewelry company. I would like to invite you to come to Xiyue Group as the design director. Are you interested?"

Zhao Rou was a little surprised, "Design director?"

Bai Zhenghe nodded, "Except for you, I can't think of anyone else who can do the job."

Zhao Rou wanted to develop in Asia. She originally wanted to use the Xiyue Group's annual meeting to expand her network last night, but Mu Zhou interrupted her and hurried home before she even started socializing. Bai Zhenghe's proposal at the moment suited her perfectly. Mind.

If you go to Xiyue Group, you can not only do your job, but its platform is not small. It will be a matter of time to gain a foothold in the Asian market.

However, Mu Zhou's words asking her to stay away from Bai Zhenghe rang in her ears, and Zhao Rou did not agree on the spot, "Thank you for the invitation, I will think about it."

"No rush, sister, if you want to come, I welcome you anytime."

The meal was enjoyable, and Zhao Rou suddenly wondered if Mu Zhou had misunderstood Bai Zhenghe.

One thing that makes Zhao Rou comfortable when getting along with Bai Zhenghe is a sense of relaxation. Bai Zhenghe does not have the strong posture of a superior like Mu Zhou, nor is he pretentious and hypocritical like Han Zihao.He is like the big boy next door who can talk easily and without any pressure.

Lingtian Building.

With thousands of lights outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window, Mu Zhou faced the window with a cup of coffee, his face taut and his jaw tense, listening carefully to Gao Songqing's report. "Mr. Mu, we have arranged for the Zhao family's largest supplier to stop supplying next week. At the same time, other suppliers we contacted have priced the silk cloth too high. At that time, we will come forward to provide assistance to the Zhao family. You will You can negotiate terms with Zhao Shijin."

Mu Zhou took a sip of coffee and said in a calm tone, "Make an appointment with Zhao Shijin next week."

"Ok."

Gao Songqing hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but asked curiously, "Are you going to all this trouble just to force Zhao Shijin to break off the engagement?"

He wanted to ask whether Mr. Mu was so resistant to getting engaged to Zhao Fangyi before. Ever since Zhao Rou appeared, Mr. Mu had been looking for opportunities to force Zhao Fangyi to get engaged in various ways.

At first, Mr. Mu used Zhao Fangyi to drug him and asked Zhao Fangyi to take the initiative to break off the engagement. Zhao Fangyi was unwilling, so Mr. Mu thought of using an industrial crisis to force the entire Zhao family to break off the engagement.

"What do you want to ask?" Mr. Mu looked sideways and looked at Gao Songqing with cold eyes.

"Ling Tian has spent a lot of money during this period to deal with these original suppliers of the Zhao family. If he wants to negotiate with Zhao Shijin, he will have to spend too much money on him. This price is quite high..."

Mu Zhou knew Gao Songqing. He knew that Gao Songqing adhered to the principle of putting the company's interests first and did not understand this approach.

Mu Zhou explained briefly, "I owe the Zhao family a favor, and this transaction is not considered a loss."

Mu Zhou didn't say what the specific favor was, and Gao Songqing didn't dare to ask.

But when Mu Zhou said this, Gao Songqing understood that no matter how much money he spent, Mu Zhou would definitely use this opportunity to get the Zhao family to break off the engagement.

Gao Songqing was analyzing in his mind when the person at the floor-to-ceiling window suddenly asked.

"Tell me what Zhao Rou has been up to these days."

Zhao Rou was not an obedient person, and Mu Zhou was vaguely worried because she and Bai Zhenghe still had contact in private.

Moreover, on days when the two of them didn't interact, Zhao Rou almost didn't contact him, which made him a little annoyed.

Gao Songqing was stunned for a moment and replied, "Okay."

He continued, "The Galaxy project in City B was successfully negotiated. The Bai family did not stop it this time. They seemed to be busy with other things. I don't know if it was related to Yizhuang Hospital. Bai Zhenghe appeared in Wei County last time, and our People investigated and found that he was connected to a man named Ma Youguan, the same person who met Zhao Rou and Tian Yingying. But later, that person disappeared."

Gao Songqing sounded a little excited, "Thanks to Zhao Rou and the other two, they went to Wei County and lured Bai Zhenghe out. Now we have a breakthrough in checking Yizhuang Hospital."

"Now that we have some clues, don't alert the enemy. We'll suspend the investigation of the Bai family and Yizhuang Hospital first. Let's wait until the turmoil at Yizhuang Hospital subsides before investigating."

"Okay." Gao Songqing knew that Mu Zhou was very cautious. With the power in B City unstable, dormancy was the best state.

After being busy until almost 12 o'clock, Mu Zhou looked up from the pile of documents on the CEO's desk, his eyes bloodshot.

"go home."

Mu Zhou stood up and loosened his tie.

Gao Songqing put away the documents and computer bag on the table and asked, "Mr. Mu, should I go back to Yuewan Mansion and stay with Miss Zhao?"

Mu Zhou picked up his suit jacket and looked at him sideways, "Why didn't I know I have two families?"

Gao Songqing thought to himself, what you said when you came out of the venue last night was to go back to Zhao Rou's apartment, not Yuewan Mansion.

After getting into the car, Gao Songqing heard Mu Zhou's hoarse voice from the back seat, "Go to her place."
