Volume 2: Greed Chapter 121: A Very Annoying Thing
The top floor of Ting'an Buildingββ
"Knock, knock, knock. β
A dull and even knock on the door sounded, which brought Bai Zhenting, who was thinking with his eyebrows down, back to his senses, he didn't turn around, but just said one word aloud: "Enter!"
After getting permission, the door of the office opened, and I saw a man in a suit and glasses standing straight outside the door, it was Bai Zhenting's secretary, Xiao He.
After pushing the door open, Xiao He looked at Bai Zhenting's back, with a habitual smile on his face, and said, "Mr. Bai, are you looking for me?"
"Hmm. β
Nodding slightly, Bai Zhenting still turned his back to Xiao He, and said in a deep voice: "A young man will come up in a while, and you will bring him to my office." β
"Huh?"
Hearing Bai Zhenting's order, Xiao He was a little surprised, because Bai Zhenting's itinerary was arranged, and he didn't hear that he would see a young man at night, but since he personally called himself to come over to explain this matter, it seems that this young man's identity must be unusual. Thinking of this, Xiao He had already calmed down, he didn't ask more, and directly responded to the elevator: "Okay, Mr. Bai." β
"Well, go ahead, he should be in the elevator by now. β
Bai Zhenting waved his hand, and just like that, Xiao He took half a step forward, bent down to hold the doorknob, and after gently closing the office door, he strode towards the elevator.
Before Xiao He walked to the elevator entrance, the elevator door on the top floor opened, although the young man was ragged and his face was embarrassed, but he could still clearly distinguish from his facial features that it was Lin Feng who had just fought with the instructor.
At this time, Lin Feng had already stepped out of the elevator, looking at the quiet corridors on the left and right, he was also slightly embarrassed to scratch the back of his head that was still wet, in fact, he didn't know where Bai Zhenting's office was, and he had never been to Ting'an Mansion at all, and it was all his keen observation that he could find the elevator in this building, as for why he went to the top floor, it was because Bai Ruxue once mentioned that she liked to watch the scenery in the office on the top floor of Bai Zhenting Building.
However, Lin Feng didn't dwell on it for too long, and a young man in a suit and leather shoes also walked to the elevator with big strides.
Looking at Lin Feng, who was dressed like a beggar in front of him, he first quietly looked up and down, and then glanced at the elevator with his spare eyes, after making sure that no one came up again, although he felt awkward, but with good professionalism, he still nodded slightly, and asked Lin Feng in a harmonious voice: "Hello, are you here to find our Mr. Bai?"
"Well, yes. β
Of course, Lin Feng noticed Xiao He's strange expression, but after the farce downstairs, he got used to it, and nodded calmly, not much.
Although he had already prepared in his heart, after hearing Lin Feng's confirmation, Xiao He couldn't help frowning, he didn't understand why his boss was doing when he saw this homeless man.
I don't understand it, but Xiao He didn't dare to disobey Bai Zhenting's order, I saw a standard smile on his face, looked at Lin Feng and said, "Okay, please come with me." β
After speaking, he turned around directly, not letting Lin Feng see the disgusted expression on his face, and then walked straight towards Bai Zhenting's office.
Of course, Xiao He's series of small actions couldn't escape Lin Feng's eyes, but he didn't say anything, he just felt a little funny, if it weren't for the urgency of time and the seriousness of the matter, he wouldn't have come over directly without changing his clothes.
Not caring about these details, Lin Feng strode after Xiao He who led the way in front.
Along the way, Xiao He didn't turn around and say a word, the atmosphere was slightly embarrassing, but Lin Feng was happy and relaxed, plus the distance was not too far, the two walked for less than two minutes, only to see Xiao He standing in front of a closed wooden door, then turned around and signaled Lin Feng to wait, then raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door, after hearing Bai Zhenting's voice in the house, Xiao He gently pushed open the door, stood aside and smiled at Lin Feng: "Please come in." β
"Well, trouble. β
After thanking him softly, he didn't care about Xiao He anymore, and Lin Feng walked directly into the room.
In the office, Bai Zhenting had already sat back at his desk, and when he saw Lin Feng coming in, he said with a smile: "Yo, Lin Feng, why are you dressed like this? β
Lin Feng closed the door with his backhand, turned his head, looked at Bai Zhenting quietly with his eyes, and had mixed feelings in his heart, this middle-aged man with a kind face, he thought that he was very familiar with him, but Lin Feng really couldn't imagine that the person he had been checking for so long would be him.
Seeing Lin Feng looking at him, Bai Zhenting touched his face with a smile and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Nope. β
Lin Feng shook his head and said truthfully.
"What are you doing in a daze? Sit down. Bai Zhenting stretched out his finger and pointed to the sofa beside Lin Feng, then stood up, walked quickly to the teatable, set up two teacups, and then picked up the teapot, did not look at Lin Feng, but lowered his head and asked, "What do you want to drink?" Uncle Bai will show you a hand today. β
"Anything. β
Lin Feng looked at Bai Zhenting's generous back, and suddenly found that since he came in, the initiative had been firmly grasped by him, and the words he had prepared before were now useless, thinking of this, Lin Feng looked away, looked at the sofa placed next to him, and sat down directly without hesitation.
Hearing the slight sound of the sofa being squeezed, a smile rose at the corner of Bai Zhenting's mouth, he lowered his head, looked at the several bags of tea next to the tea table, and after a moment of silence, he reached out and picked up one, and said with a smile: " Since you don't ask for it, then drink this, this is a baby, speaking of this bag of tea, there is a little story, I don't know if you know, Ruxue's biggest wish when she was a child was to travel around the world, I simply gave her this gift at her coming-of-age ceremony, and this bag of tea, when she traveled to England, she made a special trip to pick it for me, I usually don't want to drink it, but ah, in fact, this tea itself is not precious, after all, this is what we passed from China to their foreigners. β
Bai Zhenting said, the movements in his hands did not stop, and after a while, two cups of tea with light smoke were poured, Bai Zhenting first picked up one, came to Lin Feng, and stretched out his hand to signal him, and Lin Feng looked down at the tea with a complicated expression, raised his hand to take it, and did not drink it, but put it on the armrest of the sofa on the side.
Bai Zhenting didn't care about Lin Feng's action, he turned around with a smile, walked to the tea table and sat down, and after taking a sip of the steaming tea, he smacked his lips and said with emotion: "This tea is still delicious when it's hot." β
Then he took out a cigarette case from under the tea table like a trick, and said to Lin Feng with a smile: "No way, Ruxue always raids me, and I rack my brains to hide my cigarettes." As he spoke, he took out two cigarette cases and motioned to Lin Feng, while Lin Feng, who was sitting opposite him, shook his head with a wry smile, and said softly, "I don't want to smoke today." β
"Okay, it's good not to smoke. β
Bai Zhenting didn't persuade much, he stuffed a cigarette back, then lit one for himself, took a deep breath and said: "If you don't smoke, you don't have to worry about it, that's the best." β
"Nope. β
Lin Feng looked at Bai Zhenting, who was swallowing clouds and mist, and said calmly: "I don't smoke today because I want to keep my mind clear, because today I found something that bothers me very much. β
"Oh?"
Listening to Lin Feng's words, Bai Zhenting raised his eyebrows, and the decent face of the Chinese character showed a slightly surprised expression, and asked directly: "What's the trouble, if you don't dislike me as an old guy, you can tell me about it." β
βγγγ β
After the words fell, Lin Feng didn't speak, just looked at Bai Zhenting quietly, and Bai Zhenting didn't shy away, looking at Lin Feng with a smile, for a while, in the entire office, there was only the sound of hot water boiling in the teapot.
After a long time, seeing that Lin Feng still didn't speak, Bai Zhenting first took a puff of cigarette, and then took the lead in breaking the embarrassing atmosphere and said, "How have you been with Ruxue recently?"
βγγγ β
Seeing that Lin Feng didn't reply, Bai Zhenting also smiled disapprerovingly, and then said: "You have to hurry, Ruxue should have told you, a few days ago, Zhang Youmin's guy also brought his baby son to my Bai family, and asked me to take care of him more in the future, the new head of the Zhang family, if it weren't for Ruxue's fast running, I guess they would have mentioned the engagement again, I know I shouldn't have been involved in your affairs, but should you stand up earlier? Man, you can't keep hiding. β
βγγγ β
Lin Feng still didn't speak, Bai Zhenting at this time seemed to be talking to himself, and he didn't look at Lin Feng, turned his head, looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, and then said: "That kid from the Huangfu family doesn't know if it's better now, I have a lot of company affairs recently, and I don't have time to see him, since the driver who caused the accident is dead, I don't know if I can find other clues, but with the ability of the Huangfu family, if you want to check someone, it is estimated that it is also easy to find." β
Hearing Bai Zhenting mention Huangfu Xiaobo, Lin Feng's hands on the sofa suddenly clenched, his eyes looked coldly at Bai Zhenting who was still muttering, and although Bai Zhenting didn't look at Lin Feng, the corner of his eye also captured his movements, but his expression did not change, and even his tone was still so normal, and then said: " I'll have to call Ah Dao in a while and ask him how he is, in the imperial capital, my Bai Zhenting's connections are still relatively wide, if he encounters anything difficult in the investigation, although he doesn't dare to say that I will help him solve it, but say a few words, I Bai Zhenting can still do. β
After Bai Zhenting finished speaking, this time Lin Feng finally couldn't help it, he looked up at Bai Zhenting's side face looking out of the window, and said calmly: "Uncle Bai, if I don't speak, can you sit and keep talking." β
"That's up to you if you want to hear it. β
Hearing Lin Feng speak, Bai Zhenting turned his head, still with a peaceful smile on his face.
After saying that, the whole room fell silent again, and this time, because of the temperature reached, even the sound of water disappeared completely, except for the faint breathing of the two of them, echoing in the spacious office.
