Shanghai Embroidery Lady

Chapter 138
Zhao Zhimei raised her elbow slightly, and walked towards Liao Yuanfeng and Liao Yuanfeng with a red wine glass.The lights are dim, the clothes are fragrant and the temples are shadowed. The beauty with bright eyes and white teeth smiles like a flower. When she smiles, her eyes are slightly curved, like a charming peach blossom.

Zhao Zhimei pretended to pass by the two of them, and Zeng Jiyou beside Liao Yuanfeng looked straight at them, but Zhao Zhimei didn't even look at the two of them, and went straight to the seat not far away and sat down, enjoying the singing and dancing Slowly sip the red wine in the glass.

Sure enough, not long after, Liao Yuanfeng came to Zhao Zhimei at the behest of Zeng Jiyou. After explaining his intention, Zhao Zhimei pretended to decline. Mae dances with Zeng Jiyou.

When Liao Yuanfeng brought Zhao Zhimei to Zeng Jiyou, Zeng Jiyou was overjoyed and couldn't wait to invite Zhao Zhimei to the dance floor.

The new music was played again, and the lingering melody added a bit of ambiguity under the colorful lights.Ye Zijin saw that Zhao Zhimei was already dancing with that old pervert, and Liao Yuanfeng had been paying close attention to everything on the dance floor. At this time, Xiao Wu's approaching Zeng Jiyou would definitely arouse his suspicion.

Ye Zijin thought for a while, then decisively picked up the wine glass and walked towards Liao Yuanfeng.Zhao Zhimei also saw her, and deliberately led Zeng Jiyou to the edge of the dance floor where the light was dim.Xiao Wu was already standing nearby with the silver tray on the sidelines, waiting for Ye Zijin to push Liao Yuanfeng away before he started to act.

"Oh." With a low cry, seeing that most of the glass of red wine had been spilled, Ye Zijin pretended to be surprised and took out a handkerchief to wipe it, and kept saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"Miss Ye?" Liao Yuanfeng was also a little surprised, as if it was unreasonable to see Ye Zijin here.

Ye Zijin looked up in astonishment, paused for a moment, and said, "It turned out to be Section Chief Liao. What a coincidence, you also came to Paramount to watch singing and dancing?" Ye Zijin deliberately emphasized the words "watching singing and dancing".

Liao Yuanfeng smiled awkwardly, waved his hands and said, "No, I'm here with a friend, why is Ms. Ye here?"

Ye Zijin knew that Liao Yuanfeng was an extremely cautious person, and if there were any flaws in his reasons, he would be suspicious of him, so she simply took what the gossip said, and pretended to be sad: "Why, you men are only allowed to come here for entertainment, and you are not allowed to come here for entertainment. Do we women come here to drink away our sorrows?"

Liao Yuanfeng saw that there seemed to be resentment in Ye Zijin's words, and said with a smile: "I only heard that Boss Meng is obedient to Miss Ye, why would you come here alone to drink away your worries?"

Ye Zijin sighed softly, and said: "Section Chief Liao, you really only know one thing and don't know the other. Who knows what you men are thinking in your heart. Since you are obedient, why is he still refusing to marry me? Today After saying these words, I’m not afraid of Section Chief Liao’s jokes, anyway, I’m just in a bad mood, so I come here to distract myself, isn’t that okay?”

Liao Yuanfeng had also heard some gossip about Meng Haoxiang, and now he believed what Ye Zijin said. Seeing that Ye Zijin was so unhappy, he persuaded him: "Boss Meng is busy with work, and this ignores Miss Ye's feelings. It really shouldn't be, but it takes a long time, I, Liao, am waiting to drink your wedding wine, Miss Ye must be patient."

Out of the corner of Ye Zijin's eyes, Xiao Wu saw that Xiao Wu was already walking towards Zhao Zhimei and Zeng Jiyou with a tray, and turned to Liao Yuanfeng, "I didn't dare to let go of drinking just now, but now that Section Chief Liao is here, I am not afraid of meeting any bad guys." Yes. Let me drink to my heart's content today, if you don't mind, how about having a drink or two with me, I wonder if Section Chief Liao will give me face as a weak woman?"

Liao Yuanfeng said with a distressed expression: "Miss Ye, I'm really sorry, Mr. Liao still has work to do later, I'm afraid I can't drink with Miss Ye, but I can take you home by the way."

Ye Zijin knew that Liao Yuanfeng was going to send Zeng Jiyou back, and he must know that Zeng Jiyou had that important code book on him.Ye Zijin raised his wine glass to Liao Yuanfeng, deliberately attracting his attention, at this time Xiao Wu was ready to strike.

While dancing happily, Zhao Zhimei saw Xiao Wu coming, and suddenly turned around and fell into Zeng Jiyou's arms. Zeng Jiyou quickly came to his senses, and stretched out his arms to wrap Zhao Zhimei's slender waist.As Zhao Zhimei lay down, Zeng Jiyou bumped into Xiao Wu who was passing by. The wine in the glass spilled out, and Xiao Wu bowed and apologized repeatedly.

"Go down, go down, you have nothing to do here." Zeng Jiyou said to Xiao Wu impatiently, his face was very displeased, obviously he was complaining that Xiao Wu had disturbed his good business.

Zhao Zhimei put her arms around Zeng Jiyou's neck and said with a smile, "Let's continue dancing. I didn't expect Mr. Zeng to dance so well. He is the most gentlemanly and stable man I have ever seen."

Zeng Jiyou was overjoyed by Zhao Zhimei's praise, and his arms around Zhao Zhimei's waist couldn't help sliding down.Zhao Zhimei was stunned for a moment, she smiled without saying a word, watching Xiao Wu's leaving back, her heart was still tightly held together.At this moment, Zhao Jinnian is waiting for Xiao Wu to send the code book to take pictures in the background, and Xiao Wu will return the code book later without being noticed by Zeng Jiyou. This is indeed a great risk.

Ye Zijin caught a glimpse of Xiao Wu going backstage, she raised her head and drank a glass of red wine in one gulp, waved to the waiter in two steps, and said, "I want another glass..."

Seeing Ye Zijin's rosy complexion, Liao Yuanfeng was slightly drunk, so he quickly helped Ye Zijin, who was about to lose his footing, and sat down on a nearby chair, and said, "I'm going to call Boss Meng and ask him to pick you up. Miss, you have to tie the bell to untie the bell, if you have any misunderstanding with Boss Meng, it’s better to talk about it face to face.”

Ye Zijin pretended to be confused, took Liao Yuanfeng's hand with one hand, and said angrily: "I don't want to see him, so Section Chief Liao only recognizes Boss Meng as a friend, and doesn't look down on me, a little girl, does he?"

Liao Yuanfeng quickly explained: "Where is Miss Ye, you and Boss Meng are friends of my Liao, how can I look down on Miss Ye."

"Then sit down and have a drink. Is Section Chief Liao waiting for your friend? Why don't you call me over together..." Ye Zijin smiled while shaking the empty cup.

At this time the waiter came over, Ye Zijin saw that it was Xiao Wu, she was slightly surprised, but she immediately calmed down, still looking at Liao Yuanfeng with a half-smile.But she was thinking about the purpose of Xiao Wu's coming here. If Xiao Wu came into contact with Zeng Jiyou by accident twice, it would definitely make Zeng Jiyou, the old fox, suspicious. Could it be that Xiao Wu also considered this before seeking her help?
I saw Xiao Wu respectfully said: "What do you want, Miss?"

Ye Zijin did not point directly, but said to Liao Yuanfeng: "Where is that friend of Section Chief Liao? I asked the waiter to invite him over. To be a friend of Section Chief Liao must have a lot of background, Liao Ke." Sir, can you introduce me to me?"

Liao Yuanfeng politely refused: "My friend is still dancing with Miss Zhao, in my opinion it's better not to bother them."

Ye Zijin put the empty wine glass on the tray that Xiao Wu was holding, and said with a smile: "In that case, I won't bother them, but since I'm a friend of Section Chief Liao, I happened to meet Liao again tonight." Section Chief, then I’ll treat your friend to a drink.” After finishing speaking, Xiao Wu waved his hand, and moved closer to Ye Zijin’s side, and said, “Madam, what’s your order?”

"Send two glasses of wine to Ms. Zhao and the man who is dancing with her. They must also order two glasses of champagne after this dance." Ye Zijin looked at Zhao Zhimei and Zeng Jiyou who were very close to each other on the dance floor, She didn't want Zhimei to suffer, so in desperation, she had to come up with this method to recruit Xiao Wu to rescue him. At the same time, she could relieve Xiao Wu's situation.

Xiao Wu nodded, and took the order to go to the wine counter to get the wine.Liao Yuanfeng stood aside and said nothing, looking in the direction of Zeng Jiyou.

"Chief Liao, why do you look a little nervous? Are you afraid that Mrs. Liao will know that you are here? Don't worry, if your wife doubts, I will explain it for you. You are here with a friend, not by yourself Looking for flowers and asking willows, there is no need to do this, let's sit down." Ye Zijin said calmly.

Liao Yuanfeng smiled embarrassingly, and it was hard to refuse, so he sat down and said: "Miss Ye, don't worry, my wife won't have any doubts, what she knows as a country woman is nothing more than playing mahjong at home, how could you So knowledgeable."

Ye Zijin shook his head and sighed: "What's the use of being knowledgeable? A woman who has knowledge can't get promoted and get rich like you men. But I'd rather be a little girl, and I wouldn't get involved in a small business." Trouble, wasn't that Young Master Huang arrested not long ago? He was so romantic and unrestrained in the past, but he became a prisoner in the blink of an eye. It's really unpredictable."

When Liao Yuanfeng heard Ye Zijin talk about Huang Jiajun, he immediately became interested.He knew that Ye Zijin had always been by Meng Haoxiang's side, and that Meng Haoxiang had intersected with many people in the business and political circles. Ye Zijin naturally knew a lot of news. He was an ambitious person, so he naturally didn't want to let go of any useful information for him.

"I've also heard about Young Master Huang. This time, even Governor Huang's old relationship can't keep him. I wonder why he was arrested suddenly, but he was found out to be in the opium business." Liao Yuanfeng's tone sounded as if Unbelievable meaning.

At this time, Xiao Wu had already delivered the wine and came back, and added a glass of red wine to Ye Zijin. When pouring the wine, Xiao Wu nodded slightly to Ye Zijin, Ye Zijin understood, presumably the code book had been sent back.

Ye Zijin picked up the red wine, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Section Chief Liao doesn't know that Young Master Huang's end today is actually because he offended a woman."

"Oh? How do you say that?" Liao Yuanfeng frowned.

Ye Zijin said: "Don't Section Chief Liao know about the incident of capturing the warbler in a double cage at Paramount? Secretary-General Zhu and Huang Jiajun fought because of the warbler, and everyone knew about it. Secretary-General Zhu was also admitted to the hospital last time, presumably the two of them formed a bond at this time."

Liao Yuanfeng smiled and said: "These are just gossip reports. Young Master Huang's background is not small, how could he fall down because of offending a woman, besides, Secretary-General Zhu has a broad mind, and he will never... ..."

"Section Chief Liao obviously looks down on our women by saying this, and women are not easy to mess with. In fact, I just read the news. We women don't know about your men's officialdom." Ye Zijin interrupted.

Liao Yuanfeng explained: "I don't mean to look down on Ms. Ye, Ms. Ye is a hero among women, a strange woman in the business world."

"I don't dare to be that." Ye Zijin smiled faintly.

At this time, a dance song ended, and Zhao Zhimei walked over slowly with Zeng Jiyou on her arm.

"Zijin, are you here too?" Zhao Zhimei smiled charmingly.

Ye Zijin and Liao Yuanfeng went up to meet him, and Ye Zijin greeted Zeng Jiyou naturally, "This must be Section Chief Liao's friend, right? It really is extraordinary."

After the four of them exchanged pleasantries again, Liao Yuanfeng accompanied Zeng Jiyou to leave Paramount. Ye Zijin observed that Zeng Jiyou subconsciously touched the inside pocket of his suit to make sure that the password book was not lost before going out with Liao Yuanfeng. He did not forget it before leaving. After complimenting Zhao Zhimei, she reluctantly let go of the slender and soft hand that she had been holding.

After seeing Liao Yuanfeng and Zeng Jiyou walking away, Zhao Zhimei took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands, and said disgustedly: "That fat man is really disgusting. Fortunately, I can do it with a dance, otherwise I will continue to be disgusted for a while. The ghost has been laughing for too long, I want to drink a glass of water first to calm down the shock."

"Is everything over?" Ye Zijin asked in a low voice.

Zhao Zhimei nodded and said: "Everything went well, thanks to Xiao Wu this time, he did a good job, the old fox didn't notice it at all."

"Well, that's good, how about the second young master?" Ye Zijin remembered that Zhao Jinnian also came tonight.

Zhao Zhimei glanced at the backstage and said, "Maybe my brother has already left. I heard that the code book is urgently needed to decipher some secret messages."

Ye Zijin and Zhao Zhimei also left Paramount afterward, Ah Yuan was a little surprised to see them coming out at the same time.

Ye Zijin smiled and said to A Yuan: "You are quite punctual, quickly pick up your third lady and go."

Ah Yuan scratched the back of his head embarrassingly, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Boss Ye, I'm incompetent as a driver today, and I can't take you home. I'll call another car for you."

Ye Zijin waved his hand and said, "No, no, you guys go first, I'll call a car myself."

Zhao Zhimei shook Ye Zijin's hand, and said, "Thank you, Zijin, it's thanks to you and Xiao Wu that things went so smoothly tonight."

Ye Zijin smiled and said: "My contribution is not that big, Xiao Wu really contributed a lot, I will consider giving him a bonus, don't worry, let's go, there are too many people here, it is not suitable to stay for a long time." Ye Zijin urged the help Zhao Zhimei got into the rickshaw.

After watching Zhao Zhimei leave, Ye Zijin turned around and faced Xiao Wu's smirking face.

"Hey, boss, this is what you said, you want to give me a bonus." Xiao Wu said triumphantly. At this moment, he has changed his uniform and returned to casual clothes, with his hands in his pockets.

Ye Zijin said unhappily: "When did you learn to eavesdrop behind people's backs? I just said that. As for the bonus, it depends on your performance in Shenji."

Xiao Wu shook his head and sighed: "It's really empty joy, okay, I will behave well and send the boss home."

In the car, Ye Zijin asked about Xiaowu Xiaoyue's situation. Ever since Ah Cheng betrayed Jin'antang, Xiaoyue has been depressed. Although it has been so long, Ye Zijin knows that Xiaoyue still loves Ah Cheng in her heart.

Xiao Wu hated iron and said: "I'm really worried that this younger sister won't be able to get married. You say she has a bad opinion of someone, but she never forgets that traitor. Now that person has become a celebrity in front of Liang Xiaochuan. What kind of fan is she around? Butterfly, why would you think of her as a silly girl."

Ye Zijin felt a little uncomfortable, "Don't always talk about her. Although Xiaoyue is soft-tempered, she is a bit stubborn in this matter. It's not good for you to talk about her too much. She will resist even more and stick to her obsession in her heart." Let's let this matter take its course, as long as Ah Cheng doesn't come to her."

Xiao Wu nodded, and said again: "I've made arrangements for the fair the day after tomorrow. When the four cheongsams are unveiled, we will be able to see our name in the next day's newspaper."

Ye Zijin said calmly: "Don't be too happy, always be cautious in everything, don't leak the news in advance."

"Don't worry, I, Xiao Wu, used to be an idler, but now I'm Shen Ji's manager. I've changed my ways after so many years." Seeing Ye Zijin looking out the window indifferently, he said in frustration, "I said After so much, boss, why don't you praise me a few words..."

Ye Zijin was still thinking about the cheongsam just now, when Xiao Wu asked, she couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "It's much better than before."

Xiao Wu smiled contentedly, and said: "Then next time you write a letter, can you praise me to Master."

Ye Zijin smiled and said, "Okay, after this exposition is over, you and Xiaoyue are allowed to go to Beiping to see Master."
