Chapter 38: Long time no see
Wen Yan came out of Sheng Yu's office with a pale face, and when she walked out of the building designed by Sheng Shi, she looked up at the sky.
The sky in early autumn is as blue as a wash, and I haven't seen such a beautiful blue sky for a long time. She hadn't really looked at the sky in years. She remembered someone telling her that after nightfall, the sun rose as usual. So, when you can't hold on, hold on a little longer.
The sun fell on her face, and her pale face was dyed a little warm.
She looked ahead, her gaze resolute.
What doesn't kill you will make you stronger.
When Wen Yan returned home, Wen Yue was busy in the kitchen with Aunt Zhou.
"Sister, you're back. Wen Yue's voice was crisp and sweet, like a lark.
Wen Yan looked at her lively appearance, and felt quite comforted in her heart.
"Sister, what's wrong with your face?" Wen Yue noticed the redness and swelling on her face.
"I accidentally hit the door," once raw and twice cooked, with a warm expression, and quickly changed the topic, "What kind of dishes did you make, it smells very good." ”
Wen Yue didn't doubt that he was there, so she sighed and told her about the dishes at noon.
During the meal, Wen Yue said that she wanted to go back to school to continue her studies and ask Wen Yan's opinion.
Because of the operation, Wen Yan helped Wen Yue ask for a month's leave from school. The doctor also said that you can go to school normally after two weeks of recuperation, and be careful not to participate in strenuous sports.
Wen Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, but you must be careful not to run, and don't walk too fast......
"Sister, I'm not that fragile. Wen Yue said coquettishly, "I'm 20 years old, I'm not a child anymore, you don't have to worry." ”
Wen Yan nodded, suddenly thought of something, and added, "If anyone you don't know is looking for you, call me as soon as possible." ”
Wen Yue nodded like pounded garlic: "Mmmm!"
After getting along with her sister for less than two days and separating again, Wen Yan was a little depressed, but thinking about what she was going to do next, she felt that it might be best to let Wen Yue go back to school.
*
The loan for the Nanhua villa project was quickly approved, and then I had to go to the site to do the project planning.
Xiao He, as the person in charge of the project, naturally took the lead.
Nanlin City is a city with ancient cultural heritage in the south, although it is only a second-tier city, but because of its special historical and cultural background, this city is worth every inch of land, and the housing price is close to the first-tier city.
Xiao He and his team got off the plane and went directly to the hotel by car.
After a brief rest, he took the team to the villa area for on-site inspection.
This land is surrounded by mountains and seas, and the geographical location is excellent, but there is a problem, most of the real estate of Yuncheng Group is in the style of modern commercial housing, and it is not good at the architectural style of the city with a deep cultural background in the south. Even if Xiao He himself is a high-achieving student who graduated from the Department of Architecture, he will have limitations in design for the style he is not good at.
After discussion, the team finally suggested that the design be outsourced.
The question is, to whom?
Manager Chen, the project manager, mentioned a family of architects in the south, the Mu family.
Mu Changxiang, the first generation of the Mu family's architect, has participated in the design of national architectural and cultural projects several times, his works are very artistic, he himself is also famous, well-known at home and abroad, Mu Lao has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son and the youngest daughter are inherited his endowment, quite successful in architecture. In particular, his young daughter Mu Yiyan is even more talented, and her design works have won many awards during her college years. It's a pity that Mu Yiyan and her husband had an accident more than 20 years ago, and both husband and wife died in the accident.
This incident was a huge blow to Mu Changxiang, and after that, the old man basically retired and stopped writing.
The Mu family is now in charge of Mu Changxiang's eldest son Mu Yirui, Mu Yirui is close to the age of sixtieth, he focuses on design, and is not very good at the company's affairs, so it is mainly his eldest son Mu Yunchen who is in charge of the company. Mu Yunchen is far superior to his father in terms of artistic attainments, and some people even say that he has obtained the true inheritance of his grandfather and is a well-deserved heir of the Mu family. Not only that, but he is also proficient in business management, serving as the president of the Mujia family business.
As for Mu Changxiang's second son Mu Yirong, although he has not achieved great success in architectural design, he is shrewd and capable, and he takes care of half of the Mu family's business.
Manager Chen mentioned the Mu family, and the team was not surprised. But the problem is that Mujia has always focused on the design of architectural and cultural projects, and rarely accepts projects from real estate companies. If you want to cooperate with the Mu family, I'm afraid it's not easy.
Xiao He himself is an architectural designer, and he naturally knows about the Mu family, an architectural family.
It's just that he doesn't know the people of the Mu family.
How can I get on this line?
On the way back to the hotel, he received a call from Secretary Lin, saying that Xiao Dong had arranged a design team good at classical garden style to come and assist him, and arrived at the hotel an hour later.
His father had mentioned this matter to him before he left, and Xiao He didn't ask much about his father's arrangements at that time.
Now it seems that my father should have known about the problems of the Nanhua villa area, and the problems he might face.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that my father has already seen everything and is strategizing?
Xiao He instructed the hotel to prepare a banquet and prepare to receive the upcoming design team.
An hour later, Xiao He and his entourage stepped into the private room of the hotel's banquet hall.
When he saw the woman in a black dress in front of him, he was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, his thin lips pursed slightly, and his dark eyes looked at the woman standing in the middle of several people.
It's funny.
The light smile on Wen Yan's face has been hanging since Fang Cai, and when he saw Xiao When, the smile deepened a little.
She took the initiative to step forward, her green fingers stretched out, and she looked at the man opposite with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, long time no see." ”
I haven't seen you for a long time? Didn't I just see it the day before yesterday? This woman's ability to open her eyes and tell nonsense is really getting stronger and stronger.
Xiao He glanced at her expressionlessly, stretched out his hand and touched her fingers: "Miss Wen, don't come to harm." ”
The two people exchanged a few pleasantries, and the two teams sat down separately.
While eating and chatting about the design plan of the project, Xiao He unexpectedly found that Wen Yan had studied the style of classical gardens.
He couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Wen Yan didn't seem to notice it, and was still discussing it with Xiao He's team.
Naturally, drinking was inevitable at the banquet, and Manager Chen seemed to appreciate Wen Yan, chatted with her for a long time, and touched glasses with her a few times.
Wen Yan seemed to be inconvenient to refuse, but those who came did not refuse, and drank it all.
After a meal, she drank several glasses, and two blushes flew on her fair cheeks, adding a bit of charm and gentleness.
When the meal was over, the people dispersed and went back to their rooms.
Wen Yan also got up, and staggered when she stood up, Manager Chen's eyes were quick, and he held her wrist very gentlemanly.
Wen Yan quickly stood firm, smiled gratefully at him, and said thank you.
"You're welcome, did Manager Wen drink too much, it's okay, do you need me to send you back to your room?" Manager Chen said this purely with good intentions, but somehow, as soon as the words came out, it seemed to change the taste.
Wen Yan smiled and shook his head: "Manager Chen is too polite, I'm fine." She glanced sideways at Xiao He, who was getting up, "Mr. Xiao, please wait, there is something I want to ask you." ”
Manager Chen saw that Wen Yan had something to do with his boss, so he didn't say anything more, nodded at her and Xiao He, walked out, and closed the door very intimately.
The huge banquet hall fell silent all of a sudden, the bright lights fell down in white, and Wen Yan clearly saw Xiao He's slightly twisted eyebrows, just as Xiao He clearly saw her rippling eyes.
Wen Yan was wearing eight or nine centimeter-high heels, stepping on the soft burgundy carpet, and walked in front of Xiao He step by step.
She hugged his waist affectionately, looked up at him, and pouted slightly: "Why are you walking so fast, you don't want to see me?"
Xiao He stared at her with heavy eyebrows.
She had already gotten the bidding plan for the Science and Technology Innovation Park that he deliberately left her, and he believed that the people behind her must have realized his intentions, but why did she still appear in front of him so blatantly, pretending to be nothing?
Wen Yan drank a little too much just now, which will make her stamina rise and make her a little dizzy.
She frowned unconsciously, rubbed her temples, leaned on his shoulder, closed her eyes and slowed down.
Xiao He's hand was on her shoulder, as if he wanted to push her away.
Wen Yan seemed to have already noticed it, and opened his mouth before he started: "I have a headache, let me lean on for a while." ”
His hand rested on her shoulder for three seconds, then finally dropped.
He snorted coldly, "Didn't you drink quite a little just now?"
Wen Yan closed his eyes, not quite understanding what he meant.
She did have a headache, relieved for a while, and then changed the topic: "I heard Manager Chen say, you plan to go to Musheng Design tomorrow?"
Musheng Design is the architectural design company of the Mu family.
Xiao He frowned, he didn't expect Manager Chen to tell Wen Yan about it.
"I'll go with you," Wen Yan raised his head from his neck, looked at him with beautiful eyes, and slowly hooked his lips and smiled, "I took the money, I can't just take the money and not do things." ”
Xiao He looked at her deeply.
She was reminding him that this was a business and that he shouldn't refuse.
Xiao He's palm moved up, raised her chin, and her dark eyes fell on her face.
His thumb rubbed against her skin, and after a while, his thin lips raised slightly, and he whispered, "Okay." ”
Deep eyes, deep voice, warm heart, skipping a beat.
She grasped his palm, her slender fingertips slicing lightly across his palm.
Then, he took his hand and put it on his waist. She leaned over and kissed him on the neck.
Xiao He's eyes instantly darkened a little.
Before he could react, Wen Yan stood on tiptoe, his arm hooked the back of his neck, and his soft lips pressed against his slightly cool lips.
Xiao He's body trembled, and the fragrance lingering on her body lingered in her nose.
He glanced down at the woman who was kissing him, put one hand around her waist, the other around her neck, and leaned over to deepen the kiss.
The aroma of wine was intoxicating, and the sweet smell of the woman made his breathing slightly chaotic.
The kiss intensified.
Her hair was scattered, and his breath was messed up.
Knock Knock Knock –
There was a sudden crisp knock at the door.
The two men and women in a hot kiss suddenly stopped moving.
Xiao He lowered his eyes and looked at her deeply and let go of his hand.
The door was then pushed open, and it was the waiter of the hotel, ready to clean up the banquet hall.
Xiao He walked to the door and didn't look at Wen Yan again.
She was not annoyed by being left alone, raised her hand and touched her slightly numb lips, and slowly hooked her lips and smiled.
She returned to her room with a message on her phone.
Xiao He's secretary sent her a message informing her of the time to leave for Mu Sheng tomorrow.
*
At eight o'clock the next morning, Wen Yan went to the cafeteria on the first floor of the hotel for breakfast.
It was still early and there weren't many people eating breakfast.
She entered the dining room, grabbed her food, and prepared to find a seat.
Wandering around, he saw a man sitting in the corner, with a laptop on the table in front of him and a cup of coffee next to him.
She smiled and walked in his direction with her breakfast.
Xiao He was looking at Mu Sheng's previous architectural works, when suddenly, a figure shook next to him.
He turned his face sideways.
Wen Yan smiled sweetly at him: "Early, Mr. Xiao is really a workaholic, he started working so early." ”
With that, he sat down in the seat next to him.
Xiao He's gaze fell on her face. Today she wore a white chiffon shirt with a black A-line skirt, a very common professional attire, but her figure was too bumpy and convex, and this set of clothes was worn on her, which showed her proud figure and was very eye-catching, especially the eyes of men.
No, the eyes of several business men at the next table have been falling on her since Wen Yan came over, and when they saw her sitting next to Xiao He, the eyes of those men all showed a little envy and jealousy.
Xiao He retracted his gaze and still looked at his laptop.
Wen Yan didn't get a response, and she didn't plan to speak again, so she ate slowly.
About a quarter of an hour later, Secretary Lin came.
She was a little surprised when she saw Wen Yan, but her expression quickly returned to normal.
"Good morning, Miss Wen. Secretary Lin greeted her, and then looked at Xiao He, "Mr. Xiao, everything has been arranged." ”
Xiao He nodded: "You go to breakfast first." ”
Secretary Lin said hello, and before he left, Wen Yan suddenly spoke.
"Mr. Xiao is really good to Secretary Lin, and he is really a good boss who sympathizes with his subordinates. ”
She looked at Secretary Lin with a smile and smiled meaningfully.
Secretary Lin's heart skipped a beat, she was neither stupid nor blind, Wen Yan and her boss had a strange atmosphere every time they met, of course she noticed that the two had a great relationship, and when she heard this, she thought that Wen Yan was doubting her relationship with Xiao He.
Secretary Lin waved his hand awkwardly: "Miss Wen, Mr. Xiao ......"
Xiao He raised his head, interrupted her words, and also solved her dilemma: "You go and get busy." ”
Secretary Lin exhaled, nodded to the two, and then hurriedly turned to leave.
Wen Yan stared at him with disgust, and his tone was quiet: "Mr. Xiao is such a precious secretary Lin?"
Xiao He raised his eyes to look at her, and his voice was faint: "Don't tease her, Xiao Lin can't talk about you." ”
Wen Yan hooked his lips and smiled, stretched out his hand from under the table, touched the palm he put on his lap, pinched his tail finger, and said in a soft voice: "Mr. Xiao said that I am like a tigress." ”
She pouted in dissatisfaction and glared at him with disgust, but there was a smug smile on her lips.
Beauty is coquettish, and naturally it is also good-looking.
"Tigress," Xiao He repeated in a low voice, his eyes flashing slightly, and he smiled slightly, "It's appropriate." ”
Wen Yan: "......"
Her eyes widened and she pinched his fingertips heavily, "That's bad!"
Her fingertips were pinched a little by her, and he controlled her hand and let it go as soon as he held it, with a warning in his cold eyes.
Wen Yan stuck out her tongue at him and withdrew her hand.
Xiao He's eyes fell on her face. The tip of the red tongue flashed between the bean paste-colored lips, smart and seductive.
Xu was aware of his gaze, she took a sip of coffee, her lips were stained with brown coffee stains, she stuck out her tongue to lick it, and the tip of her tongue slid over the pink lip flap with ulterior motives, dyeing the red bean paste bright orange.
She raised her eyes to him, her crystal eyes sparkling with water, with affection.
Xiao He's eyes flashed slightly, and his eyes were sharp and gloomy.
In public, Wen Yan naturally wouldn't do anything out of the ordinary, but it didn't prevent her from making some small moves.
The knife on the table was knocked off by her elbow, she bent down to pick it up, reached under the tablecloth, and suddenly turned around and touched the thigh of the man in black trousers next to her.
Xiao He was originally sitting upright and leisurely, but his upper body trembled slightly, and his breath was chaotic for a moment.
He almost pulled her out, but there were more and more people in the restaurant, and there were people eating at the next table, and if he pulled people out, it would inevitably attract the attention of others.
He endured it and didn't make a move, knowing that she wouldn't last long.
Sure enough, before ten seconds, Wen Yan straightened up, she held a silver dinner knife in her hand, and leisurely put the dinner knife on the table, her beautiful eyes glanced at him, hooked her lips and smiled defiantly.
Xiao He's eyes fell on her face, making people unable to figure out his emotions at the moment.
"Mr. Xiao, are you ready to go?" Secretary Lin dutifully fulfilled his duties and took the time to come over to ask.
Xiao He's gaze withdrew from Wen Yan's face and nodded.
The car was already waiting in front of the hotel.
The driver got out of the car and opened the door in the back seat.
Xiao He sat in first, and Secretary Lin was very eye-catching, and automatically went around to the co-pilot in front and sat down.
Seeing this, the driver immediately walked to the other side of the back seat and opened the door.
Wen Yan bowed slightly to the driver and sat in the back seat.
It's a half-hour drive to Musheng. After getting in the car, Xiao He was still looking at his laptop.
Wen Yan wanted to tease him a few words, but when her eyes fell on the document on his computer, her attention was immediately attracted.
She knew that the Mu family was a family of architects, and she had seen some of their works, but she didn't know much about the Mu family's family background.
At this moment, the document on Xiao He's computer is a mesh map, from top to bottom, it is the name of everyone in the Mu family, and under their names corresponds to everyone's resume, works, achievements, personality analysis, etc.
The information is very detailed and covers all aspects.
Wen Yan couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this man is really meticulous.
Xiao He didn't seem to care that Wen Yan was looking at his documents, he looked at it for a while, closed the computer, closed his eyes, and frowned slightly.
Wen Yan knew that he was thinking about things, so she didn't bother him very interestingly.
If you don't bother, it doesn't mean that she stays honestly.
She shifted her body and moved closer to him, the distance between the two of them was only a few centimeters, and she was about to leave.
She tilted her head and stared straight at him, the corners of her lips slightly raised, as if admiring something wonderful.
Xiao He closed his eyes and smelled a faint sweet fragrance in the air, which became more and more intense, disturbing his heart.
He opened his eyes, and immediately met a burning gaze.
Wen Yan tilted his head and looked at him with a smile, and the hand on the leather chair slowly moved up.
She smiled ambiguously at him, her pearl-like teeth biting the tip of her tongue lightly, and she looked very mischievous.
Xiao He lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on her hand, and then moved to her face.
His eyes were too sharp, Wen Yan was shocked by his eyes, his heart trembled, but his face was still smiling.
There was a sweet smell of a woman in his nose, and he felt that the air seemed to be getting hot, and he wanted to press her against the back of the chair and kiss her fiercely.
Having been seducing him since breakfast in the morning, this woman is really restless, unscrupulous, and very indebted.
There were drivers and secretaries sitting in front, and Xiao He didn't want to teach her a lesson at this time.
Wen Yan seemed to guess what he was thinking, and deliberately provoked: "Mr. Xiao, how do you plan to get Mu Sheng to agree to cooperate?"
Xiao He looked at her and didn't speak.
The car gradually slowed down, and the driver reminded him that it was almost at its destination.
After a while, the car stopped.
"Mr. Xiao, it's here. Secretary Lin spoke, but did not look back.
Xiao He snorted: "You two get out of the car first." ”
The driver and Secretary Lin didn't ask anything, and got out of the car first.
Watching the car door close, Wen Yan smiled, and just as he wanted to speak, a shadow suddenly pressed over.
In the next moment, she was pressed against the back of her chair, and her lips were heavily gagged.
The man on his body is menacing, conquering the city, savage and fierce......
