The old man with a lame left leg? Liu Chen learned all he could from the magician's mouth, and he no longer embarrassed others, but he suddenly remembered, how could that old man know that he would appear at this banquet and that there would be a magic show? Could it be someone inside Hongyu?

"By the way, let me ask you again, when did that old man give you this envelope?" Liu Chen turned around and asked.

The magician replied recalling, "Last night, at about half past two, I was returning home from work. ”

Liu Chen nodded, turned around and ran out, the lottery was already going on at the banquet, Liu Chen glanced at the audience, it seemed that everyone was suspicious, but there was not enough reason.

Of course, there may be no inner ghost at all, maybe the old man used a trick to get the news, or try not to judge among his own people.

Liu Chen picked up the phone and called Ouyang Lan, it seemed that Ouyang Lan was still very busy, and the phone rang for more than half a minute before it was answered.

"Hey, it's me, you're busy?"

Ouyang Lan heard Liu Chen's voice and said with a smile: "Yes, I have been under a lot of pressure at work recently, and you don't care about me." ”

Liu Chen touched his forehead, almost didn't sweat, this Ouyang Lan always said some ambiguous things, which made Liu Chen so embarrassed, after all, he was a person with a girlfriend, and this Ouyang Lan also knew.

"The police flower of the city bureau, there is still a lack of care?" Liu Chen teased.

"I don't lack people to care, but I don't care about you, haha. Ouyang Lan's laughter was loud, as if he had opened a voice.

Liu Chen was too lazy to talk to her boringly, and said, "Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you, let's get down to business, let me ask you, have you done an investigation on the twin brother of the military and civilians?"

Ouyang Lan saw that Liu Chen had become serious, and he also put away his ridiculous heart, and replied seriously: "We have sent people to investigate, but there are no clues yet, and after investigating the case materials in various places in the past few years, we have not found any criminals suspected of being soldiers." ”

Liu Chen asked again: "Did Yu Junmin mention that his brother's left foot was lame?"

"Is your left foot lame? I haven't heard him talk about it, have you found something?" Ouyang Lan was very interested in the clues provided by Liu Chen, hoping to get more information about Yu Junmin and his brother from him.

Liu Chen explained: "That's right, someone sent me a threatening letter to leave the river, and it is said that the person is an old man with a lame left foot, so I came to ask you." ”

"You say, that lame old man who intimidated you is Yu Junmin's twin brother?"

"It's just a suspicion, there is no evidence at the moment, you should pay attention to this detail when you investigate him. Liu Chen wasn't sure about anything at the moment, he was afraid that the wrong information would bring unnecessary trouble to Ouyang Lan's investigation, in case those information were deliberately created by Yu Junmin and his brother.

Ouyang Lan understood what Liu Chen meant, she had always attached great importance to the clues provided by Liu Chen, "Okay, this detail is very important, we will definitely pay attention to it." ”

Hung up the phone, Liu Chen felt very puzzled, Yu Junmin's twin brother, so far he didn't find any clues, he once wondered if Yu Junmin deliberately made it up, but he felt that this person existed again, whether he was Yu Junmin's twin brother or not, but at least he had a close relationship with Yu Junmin, this person was like a ghost, invisible, couldn't be found, but was always around them watching their every move.

Liu Chen doesn't believe in ghosts, gods and ghosts, he believes that he can definitely find out this person, because as long as it is a person, there will be flaws.

Back at the banquet, the lottery was coming to an end, and the lucky winners stood in a row and took a group photo with Sun Quan, everyone with a bright smile on their faces.

Liu Chen walked to the seat and sat down, bowed his head and said to Zhu Min on the side: "The amount of this bonus is quite large, it is so thick." ”

Zhu Min said with a smile: "There are a total of special prizes and first, second and third prizes in this lottery, with a special prize of 50,000 yuan, a first prize of 30,000 yuan, a second prize of 20,000 yuan, and a third prize of 10,000 yuan." Her face flashed with incomparable pride and rarity, and it seemed that she should have planned it from Sun Quan.

Liu Chen exclaimed: "Awesome, amazing!" and gave a thumbs up, but he was actually a little unhappy in his heart, not that he treated employees badly, but on another issue. Sun Quan kept saying that now is a difficult time for Hongyu, but he can give bonuses to employees so generously, which shows that what Sun Quan and Liu Chen said is just an excuse.

Liu Chen didn't say anything anymore, took out his mobile phone to read the news and chat, not caring about the lively scene on the stage. was chatting with Li Rongfei, when suddenly Zhu Min patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Liu, someone called you over there." ”

As soon as Liu Chen looked up, he found that a beautiful woman not far away was looking at him, and he didn't remember who it was at first, until the other party said, "Hi, Mr. Liu!"

This voice is very recognizable, Liu Chen remembered that it was Hong Xiaoqing of Hong's construction, and he had met once before. Liu Chen immediately got up and walked over to greet her: "Hi, Mr. Hong, hello!"

"You two go and wait for me in the car first. Hong Xiaoqing said to a man and a woman behind him, then turned his head and asked, "Mr. Liu, are you also participating in the banquet of Hongyu Group?"

Liu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, people invited me to come to the party, and you are also here to eat tonight?"

"Talk to a friend in business. ”

"Looks like the company has been doing well lately, haha. ”

Hong Xiaoqing said modestly: "It's okay, by the way, are you interested in cooperating with us, I have considered this matter before, I think there are many places where we can cooperate, really." Her expectant look was like an emphasis to prove that she wasn't lying.

In fact, in private, she has really been waiting for the opportunity to cooperate with Liu Chen, because Liu Chen's Xingchen Sand Field, the business scope has rapidly expanded to the entire Jiangxia City, and is also trying to seek external expansion, I believe that in the near future, Xingchen Sand Field will become one of the most competitive construction companies in Shuangjiang Province, and the gap with their Hong's construction will be wider and wider, so Hong Xiaoqing hopes to seize this opportunity to cooperate with Xingchen.

Liu Chen is not surprised by Hong Xiaoqing's desire to cooperate, in the business field, what he is chasing is interests, and only by strong cooperation can he monopolize the market and maximize his own interests.

"Hehe, is it? Do business, as long as you can make money, of course you can cooperate, eh, it's not convenient today, let's make an appointment to talk in detail another day, what do you think?" Liu Chen hopes to have the opportunity to talk in detail, after all, in Jiangxia City, Hong is more familiar with the unspoken rules of the market.

Hong Xiaoqing nodded, took out a business card from his bag and handed it to Liu Chen: "Okay, this is my business card, you can contact me at any time after you think about it, then I won't disturb you to eat first, bye." ”

"Bye-bye. ”

Liu Chen took the business card and waved to her, when she walked out of the hotel, Liu Chen glanced at the business card, which was written with the words "President", it seemed that she was the successor of the Hong family.

After the banquet, Liu Chen left the family under the pretext that he had left in advance, and did not continue to go to the carnival with them.

Back at Tianyi Mansion, Li Rongfei was home alone, Liu Chen walked into the house, only a dim light in the bedroom was shining, and Li Rongfei was preparing for class.

Liu Chen changed his shoes, walked to the sofa and picked up a blanket, walked into the bedroom, and draped Li Rongfei.

"Why haven't you watched a TV series tonight?" asked Liu Chen with a smile.

Li Rongfei concentrated on making notes with a pen, and replied without raising her head: "Today is Friday, there is no TV series." ”

"Oh, hehe, I said, why did you, a Korean drama maniac, suddenly work so hard, it turns out that there is no Korean drama tonight, it's good, you can finally watch the football game with me, there is the Champions League tonight. After Liu Chen finished speaking, he didn't forget to applaud.

"Cut, it's up to you to see it yourself, I won't accompany you, you won't accompany me to watch Korean dramas, hum~" Although Li Rongfei didn't look up from beginning to end, she was able to deal with Liu Chen's words comfortably, and her dual-purpose skills were good.

"It's such a cold day, why don't you turn on the air conditioner?" Liu Chen picked up the remote control of the air conditioner on the table and was about to turn on the air conditioner, but was snatched by Li Rongfei.

Li Rongfei put the remote control of the air conditioner in front of him and said, "You don't know that it costs a lot of electricity to turn on the air conditioner." ”

Liu Chen leaned over to get the remote control and said, "How much electricity does it cost to turn on an air conditioner, and I will pay for the electricity." ”

"By the way, I live here every day, and I haven't asked you to collect the rent. Li Rongfei put down the pen and closed the book, finally stood up, held the remote control tightly behind her, and must not give it to Liu Chen.

Liu Chen was irrefutable by Li Rongfei, this family is still the biggest wife, he smiled and made amends: "Wife, it's my fault, thank you for taking me in, I'll accompany you to watch Korean dramas every day in the future, okay?"

Liu Chen's stupid and indecent appearance made Li Rongfei cry and laugh, she pretended to be very serious and "criticized": "At a glance, I know that your apology is not sincere, where is there a Korean drama every day, isn't there no today?" After speaking, he turned his head to the side, with an arrogant expression, Liu Chen knew that he was destined to be eaten by her in this life, but wasn't this what he wanted?

"Okay, okay, in the future, I will accompany you to watch Korean dramas every day except Friday, how about it?" Liu Chen continued to coax Li Rongfei, but his method of coaxing girls was too clumsy, and he was really not good at it.

In the evening, the two hugged each other tightly and chatted about each other's hearts. Li Rongfei is Liu Chen's first girlfriend and his first love, although Liu Chen has been in contact with too many beautiful women who are either pure or sexy or intellectual or mature, but Li Rongfei is the only one who makes him excited. He once heard Zhang Zhiming say that a man, especially a successful man, will rarely end up with a woman, because there are too many temptations around a successful man, and it is difficult for a man to resist the temptation of beauty.

Liu Chen was lying on the bed, holding the warm Li Rongfei in his arms, quietly thinking about Zhang Zhiming's so-called experience of the past, can he escape this terrible curse?
