Chapter 43 The so-called mask

Chapter 39 The So-Called Mask

After hanging up the phone, I let out a long sigh of relief, opened the door, and went in again.

Lucy was staring straight at the Kobe beef tenderloin that was sizzling on the iron plate, but when she heard the door open, she turned to look at me: "You are really busy."

I smiled, said nothing, and sat back in my seat.

"Didn't you say one day off?"

I spread my hands: "There is no way, the capitalists exploit our working people, you have to take it easy."

There was a sushi platter on the corner of the table. I took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of cuttlefish sushi, dipped it in wasabi, and ate it in my mouth. It was spicy and spicy.

"Go shopping again in the afternoon?" Lucy ate to the fullest, tilted her head, rested her chin, and looked at me.

I ate beef tenderloin just out of the oven and shook my head as I ate it.

She pouted, "What a disappointment."

I cut a piece of steak and stuffed it in her mouth, watching her chew, I had time to continue to satisfy my hungry stomach.

After eating and drinking, I wiped the corners of my mouth, carried my bag, and patted Lucy who was still on the seat: "Let's go."

"Where are you going?" Knowing that I won't be shopping around with her in the afternoon, she obviously lost interest.

"Take me to your brother's place."

"Uh?"

"Take the dress." I said lightly, pulling up Lucy who was still on the seat.

"He told you to go get it now? He's already back?" She seemed a little surprised, staring at me questioningly.

I look at my watch.

At this time, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon.

Yao Qianmo is a busy person. When he called, he was still on his way home from the airport.

But he said on the phone that he asked Lucy to take me directly to the place where he lives, or if I am free someday, I can go there to pick it up at any time.

***********
I don't know Yao Qianmo's address, but it doesn't matter, Lucy must know.

But when I saw where Lucy parked the car, I was still confused.

Looking out through the car window, in front of you is the towering hotel building.

Strange, I live in Yao Qianmo's house, but Yao Qianmo wants to come to live in a hotel?
Moreover, was this hotel I stayed in when I first returned to China?
It is too strange.

"He lives here?"

I buckled the car window, pointed to the shadow of the hotel building on the car window, and asked Lucy in the driver's seat.

Lucy nodded, and she didn't seem to be very surprised, "He had a stalemate with his father, and because of his marriage, he was talked about by that dead old woman. He couldn't bear it, so he moved out of the house and lived here."

"When did it happen?" After hearing Lucy's explanation, I was even more puzzled.

"Probably, less than a week before you returned to China, he moved to the hotel to stay permanently."

I was dumbfounded, he actually... lived here earlier than me?
"Why doesn't he live in his house?" Instead, give it to me?

Lucy turned her head and thought for a while, "I'm afraid of hurting the scene." At the end, she added a word that sounds very ambiguous: "Maybe."

Forget it...

I didn't want to worry too much about it, so I got out of the car, followed Lucy into the hotel, and took the elevator.

Lucy opened the door with the secondary card.

We entered the suite successively.

Thinking about it at this time, I have not lived in a hotel for a long time, but stayed in the so-called "home", and I am a little unfamiliar with the special incense materials of the hotel.

The suite is quite large and has a wide view. I stayed in the outer hall.

Although Yao Qianmo said that the dress was in the closet in his bedroom.However, the due etiquette does not allow me to enter a stranger's room by myself.

Lucy is very casual, went to the refrigerator, got a drink, and asked me: "What do you want to drink?"

I'm not surprised by this, since Lucy has a secondary card for this room, she should come here often.

Seeing me sitting on the sofa, Lucy yelled, "Go in, put on those clothes, come out and let me see!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and pointed to the room.

****************
The box of the dress is easy to find. When you open the closet, you can see that the box is as luxurious as any handicraft.

Pull the royal blue ribbon tied on the box and open the lid.

I lifted the short skirt.

Compare in front of the full-length mirror.

This time, it was all he was thinking about.I saw it in the window at the time, but now I wear it, the skirt looks very different.

Dark flowers spread evenly on the skirt.The very casual large pleated tube top is wrapped around the waist, and the belt is tightly buckled, which highlights the female curve very much. I think the waist is slender enough, but I am still a little out of breath.

A woman's love for fine clothes is like a man's love for beautiful women. I can't put it down. The dress, the back, and a broken diamond chain hanging behind me. I want to buckle the chain into the clasp on the waist, but I can't reach it. .

With my back to the mirror, I tried several times, but it still didn't work.

At this time, I heard the slight sound of the door being pushed open.

It should be that Lucy can't wait outside, so come in and take a look.

I was too lazy to turn my head to look at it, and while continuing to yell at the buckle, I raised my voice and said to Lucy, "Help me fasten the back."

Lucy didn't answer me.

I waited for a while, but I still didn't see Lucy stepping forward to help. I was discouraged, and I simply gathered up my skirt, held up the corners of the clothes under the armpit, and turned my head.

I was about to walk towards Lucy, but when I turned around and saw the people behind me clearly, I was stunned.

Yao Qianmo also seemed to be taken aback, but he quickly recovered and walked towards me unhurriedly.

At this moment, I just felt extremely embarrassed, he stood still in front of me, seeing that I didn't move, he went around directly behind me.

My already cold back was accidentally touched by Yao Qianmo's cold fingertips, and I froze intuitively.

Through the mirror, I saw that Yao Qianmo gently twisted the diamond chain hanging behind my waist, looped it around my back, and fastened the clasp.

My whole body was stiff, and all my nerves were concentrated in my back.

There, Yao Qianmo's finger, if there is nothing, gently swipe across.

"Thank you."

I turned around, thanked me, and tried to put on a distant but respectable smile.

But after a while, my smile froze.

too close.

Yao Qianmo's face was magnified in front of my eyes.Although I was wearing high heels, he was still half a head taller than me. At this moment, the two of them, his lips, were facing my eyebrows.

I instinctively backed away, but unfortunately, there was a wardrobe behind me.

There is no going back.

For some reason, Yao Qianmo seemed to be in a good mood suddenly, and he had a serious expression just now, and there was even a smile in his eyes.

He didn't move, just looked at this short distance, and said to me with a smile: "Go out, Lucy's coffee is ready."

After speaking, Yao Qianmo took a step back.

The distance between each other is no longer so close, I resume my breathing rhythm, look at myself in the mirror, and then look at him: "Can you go out first? I will change clothes."

Yao Qianmo smiled and nodded, expressing his understanding.

After he went out, I quickly changed back into my clothes, trimmed my hair, and then went out.

The strong aroma of coffee wafted over, but I didn't care about it, so I just picked up my bag and left.

"Stop sitting for a while?" Lucy seemed reluctant, "I've made the coffee for you!"

I smiled and couldn't help but glance at Yao Qianmo.

This man's smile is too paradoxical. If this kind of person is not related to his wealth and interests, it is best not to have any intersection with him.

"The company has something to do, and I'm busy again."

I made an excuse and left.

Before leaving, Yao Qianmo called me, "Don't forget..." As he spoke, he tapped his chin on the clothes box in my hand.

I nodded curtly.

"I'll pick you up then."

"Okay." After speaking, he opened the door and went out.

I went home and the contract was emailed to me.

I looked at the terms one by one, and sure enough, the conditions are very favorable, but unfortunately, I am the boss behind this scene, no matter how good the conditions are, it will not help.

However, if Li Huize couldn't bear his father's pressure and really sold the land to Hu Qianyu, I would lose a lot.I bet, I bet that Li Huize is not willing to be inferior to Li Zhaojia forever.

Destroy email.

Then go to Hengsheng.

When we arrived at the staff restaurant, it was exactly 3 pm, the closing time of the market.

I sat by the window, ordered a cup of coffee, and after that, waited.

Not long after, Li Muchen appeared in the restaurant, naturally, accompanied by his colleagues in the finance department.

Seeing me, Li Muchen seemed rather surprised.

Of course he would be surprised, because not only did I appear in front of him, but I was also sitting in his usual seat.

***********************
I don't know what Li Muchen was thinking, he asked for coffee, but he stopped avoiding me and sat straight across from me.

"Good afternoon." I said.

He replied: "Well, good afternoon."

It's afternoon tea time in the finance department. I've been in the finance department for so long. Although I'm not familiar with these colleagues, I can still count as friendship.

And now, what I need to know from them is whether their finance department has done any investment liquidation on this day.

If Hu Qianyu really wanted to join forces with Li Zhaojia, he would definitely ask the Hengsheng Planning Department to issue a cooperation agreement, and the formulation of the planning agreement required the Finance Department to calculate the process funds.

As an old colleague, I asked about each other's current situation.

Someone naturally mentioned: "I heard that you went to Hong Kong for business with Mr. Hu?"

I smiled: "Yes, I just came back this morning."

Li Muchen's complexion was not good.What I did before completely broke the self-esteem of this proud man.Maybe, she thought I got him into the applause.

For this, I can only say sorry in my heart.

I know how painful it can be to have your pride trampled on.It's a pity, how much self-esteem is there in the face of interests.Everyone should understand the principle that the winner is king. This is the law of survival for us people.

"What about Mr. Hu, are you back?"

The women here seem to be very interested in this. The person who asked this question, I remember, Zhang Xizhi.

"Mr. Hu is going to Switzerland for vacation." I took a sip of coffee and temporarily enjoyed the leisure time in the afternoon.

"No way, you didn't forget to call back and tell us when you're on vacation..."

"What?" I asked lightly, but my heart was anxious.

Zhang Xizhi laughed and stopped talking.

Li Muchen spoke up instead: "It's nothing, just ask us to assist the planning department to make a process and capital statement."

When he said that, I had to raise my eyebrows to look at him.He was very leisurely, drinking his tea and looking out the window.The afternoon sun shone on his face with faint shadows.

I oh, and said to the smiling Zhang Xizhi, "You guys are so busy."

Zhang Xizhi seemed a little embarrassed: "I have a low position in the ministry, such a big case doesn't require my efforts at all."

I thought about what she said, and then asked, "No, aren't you always in charge of contacting the other party's middle management?"
