The day before the auction began, the owner of the gold shop received a letter from Huang's mother, saying that he wanted to invite him to a meal, after all, he had some friendship, so he agreed.

When they arrived at the agreed place, waiting at the door were Shang Muli and Liu Duchao. Liu Duchao saw him first, and immediately walked over to greet him: "You are here, Mr. Wang." "The owner of the gold shop is surnamed Wang, and he is a shrewd person.

He looked left and right and didn't see Huang Ma's shadow, and then saw the two people who were waiting here early, and suddenly realized. "What is the relationship between you and Huang's mother?" Boss Wang asked the two of them directly.

Shang Muli smiled and replied, "Mama Huang is like a relative to me, and I am also very grateful to her, knowing that you know her, she helped us make an appointment with you." ”

"Oh, she's really kind and nice to everyone. Under the guidance of Liu Duchao, several of them went to the private room to eat.

Before the meal began, Boss Wang had actually guessed a lot, the two of them suddenly found a relationship to ask him to dinner, it must not be so simple, there was just one day before his auction was about to start, and it was very likely that they had taken a fancy to this auction. The table was full of good food and wine, and they showed their sincerity.

"In the past, Huang Ma was a servant who took care of me, she was very kind to me, just like my mother, and now she also helps me take care of my younger brother, never caring about the pay. "Since Boss Wang is familiar with Huang Ma, it should be best for them to open the conversation box from Huang Ma.

Sure enough, when it came to her, Boss Wang came to nature and recalled the hard times in the past. "At that time, I was very young, and there were many brothers and sisters in the family, and I couldn't even wear a pair of shoes in winter, and the shoes that Huang's mother made for me were the warmest shoes I had ever worn. When he spoke, his eyes were filled with tears, and it seemed that he was indeed grateful to Huang Ma a lot.

In the past, there was a big gap between the rich and the poor, maybe Shang Muli didn't feel much, but Boss Wang improved his quality of life through his own efforts to the current point, and Shang Muli had a personal understanding. For the development of the glass jade store, the efforts she has made are still fresh in her memory. Every step of the effort is for a better life in the future, for the sake of my brother and my own goals.

"And how is Mama Huang now?" he asked again.

"Don't worry, she is in good health now, and the children in the family are also filial, and she is taking care of my brother for the sake of her old love. Shang Muli talked about Shang Mujun again, which can be regarded as playing the emotional card. Unexpectedly, she started her own business and opened a jade shop at a young age, and she also needed to take care of a sick younger brother, and she didn't have the support of her parents, which reminded him of his former self.

Shang Muli has been pouring him wine, and he is easy to talk about at the dinner table. Shang Muli saw that he was in a better and better mood, so he said: "Boss Wang, I will definitely participate in tomorrow's shop auction, the location of the shop you sell is very good, my jade shop needs to be expanded, in order to make the road longer in the future, I must do my best to pave the way." ”

She meant that the shop at the auction tomorrow, he was determined to win. The dining room was quiet for a while, and Shang Muli continued: "I think if Boss Wang is me, I will do the same, sometimes not only because I am greedy for a while and hope that my store will get better and better, but also for the people I want to take care of, I also want to do my best." "Tomorrow's auction is obviously a pit, if the person who fills this hole may be her, but Boss Wang should be able to understand Shang Muli's mood very well, and they are still people who have a relationship with Huang Ma, although she didn't say it openly, the meaning is obvious, it is nothing more than hoping that his subordinates will show mercy.

"But tomorrow there will be the Shang Mu family competing, I will definitely be willing to pay enough money for good things, and Boss Wang can rest assured of this. She said firmly.

"Boss Li is also a heroine among women, let me really admire it, come and toast you!" Boss Wang didn't discuss the matter about the store and sent him back.

Liu Duchao and her have been silent on the road, and the auction will be held tomorrow, but the two of them have no bottom in their hearts. "I've done my best, and if it doesn't work, I'll try it too. Shang Muli said that he would try the opportunity from Shang Mu Sijue, but he would not necessarily buy the store, when the price was really higher than the estimated cost.

"Don't think about it so much, it's come to this, we've done what needs to be done. Liu Duchao looked at the people coming and going and said, her efforts are in the eyes of all of them, and what she has done now is already admirable.

In the evening, the boss of the division came from Shanghai, and Liu Duchao arranged a place for her to live in advance. After inquiring about the progress of the two of them, Si Yue was also a little worried, after all, Boss Wang did not have the attitude of preparation.

"Don't be discouraged, you have shown us the effort. On her body, Si Yue sometimes saw the shadow of her own body, and she patted the back of her hand and said. Shang Muli nodded, she wouldn't really give up until the last second.

......

In the study, Shang Mu Sijue sat there and reconciled back and forth, and the people sent out had already returned, and his disgraced appearance seemed to indicate the result of failure.

The subordinate knelt on the ground and trembled, "Boss, Boss Li, she rejected your proposal." ”

Shang Mu Sijue held the brush in his hand tightly, and looked at his subordinates with eyes like torches, he should have been able to expect that everyone is a businessman, Shang Mu Li has a unique vision and a strong personality, how can he give up lightly when he likes the store.

"Did she say anything?" he put down his work.

"No, Boss Li didn't say anything. He whispered.

didn't say anything, just let him leave, what Shang Mu Sijue asked to do was only in consideration of her personally, even the people under him, Shang Mu Li didn't want to know anything.

His expression was even more solemn, and the auction was about to take place, but he didn't expect her attitude to be so grim. Let the subordinates go out, and Shang Mu Sijue stayed here alone to ponder.

Opening the door, Ling Ling'er was standing at the door, holding a pot of tea in her hand. Standing outside, he had been waiting for a while before waiting for him to come out, "This is chrysanthemum tea, which has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying." ”

"Chrysanthemum tea?" Shang Mu Sijue's eyebrows frowned unhappily: "Do you think I'm easy to get angry?"

"No, that's not what Ling'er meant. She said cautiously, just afraid that he would be bored with herself, and she had been hiding in the backyard and not daring to come out. If it weren't for the maid urging her to go out, she might have waited a little longer. Now, she should stick to her opinion and wait a little longer to come out.

She was kind-hearted, so Shang Mu Sijue did not continue to investigate. "Your father has asked me to inform you to go back. "A lady who has lived in a man's house for so long, what will others think when it spreads?

"Go back, but ......" Ling Ling'er bit her lip, she finally moved in here, is she going back with her father now? After living in Shangmu Mansion for so long, she didn't greet her father, and this time she would definitely go back without his scolding.

His face changed, and he thought for a long time before he said, "I already remembered the drunkenness that day, and nothing happened between us. When he was drunk, he was weak and didn't have any thoughts, except for chanting Shang Muli's name, he didn't do anything.

Ling Ling'er stood there in a daze, she didn't know if he had really thought of what had happened before, but nothing had happened between them. In the blur, the name he shouted out of his mouth was really chilling.

"However, I am grateful that you took care of me, but Shangmu Mansion is not a place for you to stay. His desperate eyes were permeated with coldness.

Ling Ling'er lowered her head sadly, this time she didn't cry, and the unwillingness in her heart stabilized. She turned and walked away slowly, leaving behind a regretful back.

She went out, and the housekeeper was called over by Shang Mu Sijue. "Miss Ling is back, you send someone to follow her, but you don't let her find out. "Their current relationship, it's best not to break the thread. He knew that the use of her before had hurt her too much, and now that he was going to break it, he would break it completely, and seeing that he was not at ease and sent someone to secretly send him back, she would definitely think about it.
