Chapter 15: Meeting

Before He Manzhou could come up with a reason, the elevator had already reached the third floor.

With the sound of the elevator dripping, the merged electronic door quickly opened. Dong Nan deserves to be a special assistant, and he usually goes out with the leader at first glance, and does many small details quite meticulously. He blocked the elevator door with his hand, and waited until He Manzhou went down before he followed from behind.

The layout of the hall on the third floor is very different from that on the first floor, there are not many exhibits on this floor, except for the large antiques that look quite luxurious in the hall, there are almost no objects for sale, and there are more rooms that are opened up separately, conference halls, tea rooms, and multi-functional halls.

Presumably, except for the office of the person in charge, the rest is the venue for member activities.

He Manzhou looked around, and at a glance saw the bright and dangling sign - the general manager's office, she was about to walk over, but Dong Nan stretched out her hand to stop it, and said, "Miss He, it's not over there." ”

"Hey, isn't it written on the sign that the general manager's office, and Bai Yi has never been in that office?"

"Mr. Bai's office is that good, however, he doesn't like outsiders to go over, he never receives guests over there, and few employees in Bai Yulou are qualified to enter, just wait in the living room. ”

He Manzhou said in his heart, are you boss Bai the head of the spy joint? Usually, Shenlong sees the head but does not see the end, and he can't catch anyone by inertia when he drives a huge antique city, so it's not easy to meet, and it's still so mysterious, is it necessary?

But after all, it is in other people's territory, and she was also brought up by Dong Nan, a kind-hearted person, even if she gave He Manzhou a few more dares, she didn't have a reason to find others unhappy in public.

These words turned between her lips and teeth, and she was stunned that she had swallowed them as they were, and He Manzhou was even in the mood to clean up her emotions, bending her big eyes and smiling: "Okay, then I'll go to the living room and wait, I'm sorry for you, Dong Tezhu." ”

"It's okay, it's not a problem. Dong Nan replied casually, he took He Manzhou to the living room, skillfully prepared the tea, and filled the small tea cup in front of her.

He Manzhou sat on the sofa, probably to maintain her image, her face has always had a unique and decent smile when the leader inspected the work, from the hair to the fingernails, revealing the calmness of "Sister, I am a person who has seen the world", cocking her slender fingers, smacking the tea in the cup unhurriedly, as if she would comment a few words in the next second.

But what is inversely proportional to elegance is her fingertips that are burned to the point that they tremble slightly.

He Manzhou said in his heart, what kind of broken teacup is this, Bai Yicong has no money and no place to spend it, so he spends money to find guilt. Everyone knows that Boss Bai's family has a big business, and antiquities and cultural toys are as if they don't need money, but these antique objects are good to be provided in the display case, this thing is indeed valuable and good-looking, but is it practical to have a celadon cup?"

Dong Nan followed Bai Yicong's side, what kind of characters have you not seen?

At this moment, of course, he saw He Manzhou's "pretentious posture", but he didn't say anything, but felt that this girl who was smart on the surface and playful in her heart was very cute, especially the heroic and righteous righteousness on her face, I really didn't know that this was not a meeting with the big guys, what kind of strength did she compare with the teacup.

Thinking like this, the corners of Dong Nan's lips floated a little curvature very vaguely, and he reminded him very truthfully: "Before the rain, Longjing brews with boiling water to be more mellow, this set is a green jade teacup, and the carved outer wall is not insulated, Miss He, don't worry, you can wait for a while before drinking." ”

"Ah, hahahaha, I know. ”

He Manzhou laughed dryly, and said in his heart that I was in a hurry, I was acting friendly...... If it weren't for the sake of giving your Bai family's hospitality a little face, why should I?

These inner dramas only stayed in He Manzhou's mind, and her performance was still quite calm.

"I'm cold, what's that...... In winter, it's too cold, I warm my hands. ”

Dong Nan tried very hard not to laugh on the spot, and he didn't break it knowingly, let's just think that the little girl was really cold, and woke up again without hurry.

Since He Manzhou entered the gate of Baiyulou today, Dong Nan noticed her.

Recently, Bai Yicong suddenly began to investigate the Tianwentang Museum, and collected a lot of information about He Manzhou. Although I don't know what Boss Bai's purpose is, since his own boss has spoken, Dong Nan of course completes the task with due diligence, and pays more attention to the heir of the Tianwentang Museum.

Yesterday's incident confirmed Dong Nan's judgment, and today I just saw He Manzhou coming, and the siege was just a push boat.

As for whether Bai Yicong wants to see it or not, it's not his business.

"Miss He, please wait here for a while, I'll inform Mr. Bai. ”

After explaining this, Dong Nan closed the door and left.

As soon as the special assistant went out on the front foot, someone who was pretending to be on the shelf finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her aroused curiosity finally couldn't help it, and began to look around.

This meeting room is a private living room specially used by Bai Yicong to receive important guests on weekdays, and the overall decoration style of Bai Yulou is the same, and it is all in the traditional Chinese decoration style. However, under the unified style, this parlor is obviously much more sophisticated.

Even if he doesn't understand the mystical things of design and feng shui, He Manzhou can still see that the interior decoration of this room is quite rigorous and elegant, with a classical atmosphere and antique atmosphere, and exquisite details everywhere.

At first glance, you may feel that this room is a little simple and low-key, the color scheme is mainly solid wood and black and white, and there is no grandeur and luxury of gold and purple, as if it is not so eye-catching, as if the cost is not high. But if you look closely, you will find that every knick-knack in this room, whether it is a porcelain vase on the corner of the table or a painting on the wall, is worth a lot of money, and it belongs to the kind of masterpiece that can be called a very high price at auction, and it is definitely priceless.

Out of curiosity about antiques, He Manzhou blinked her eyes and looked around, until she saw the painting hanging on the wall, and finally couldn't help but stand up, and her expression became surprised. Obviously, what can make Miss He, who is above the top, look at it is not the low-key behavior of the local tyrant to show off his wealth, but the landscape painting hanging on the wall.

The painting is delicate and beautiful, and the style is vigorous and strong, which is Wang Shimin's "Peak High Water Distant Map".

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the works of "Jiangzuo Erwang" began in the mid-to-late nineties of the twentieth century, and Wang Shimin's paintings were bullish in the auction market. There are a lot of jade and porcelain in Tianwentang Museum, but the exhibits of famous calligraphy and painting are scarce, Lao He once wanted to play with the painting of "Jiangzuo Two Kings" in the exhibition hall, but the starting price of the passive six-figure upward count was persuaded to retreat.

I didn't expect to be seen by He Manzhou here today.

Probably out of the self-cultivation of art students, seeing that there were no outsiders in the living room, He Manzhou simply walked under the painting and carefully appreciated it. Maybe she was too engaged, and the footsteps outside the door from far and near were automatically blocked by her.

It wasn't until the sound of pushing the door sounded that He Manzhou's thoughts were brought back.

But apparently it was too lateβ€”

So as soon as Bai Yicong entered the door, he stared at the little girl's big clear eyes, looked up at the ancient paintings hanging on the wall, and looked a little bit of the cute look of discovering the New World, which was really real.

After realizing that the main master was coming, He Manzhou's IQ quickly went online.

But her mobility was holding her back. So Bai Yicong watched He Manzhou stagger towards the sofa in three steps and two steps, with a smile on his face that was trying his best to be elegant and want to cover up. The emotion blurted out was full of true feelings, and it just drifted to someone's ear in a twist.

"Tsk, Bai Yicong is really rich......"

He Manzhou: "......."

Bai Yicong: "......."

The scene was very embarrassing for a while, so you can just take it as if I was complimenting you.

He Manzhou closed his eyes in despair and thought so.

Why doesn't this girl look very smart, forget it.

Bai Yi retracted his gaze from the faint and thought.

When He Manzhou, who was in the center of the storm, returned to the sofa, she finally had time to take a closer look at the comer.

Pushing the door in, it was a young man in his twenties, obviously Bai Yicong, he was younger than He Manzhou expected, wearing a black windbreaker, a light gray turtleneck knitted sweater, and the light color scheme blended into the tone of the quaint decoration of the white jade building, just like a blank space in the ink painting, revealing the indescribable lofty.

Bai Yi never shied away from He Manzhou's gaze, but his eyes swept lightly over the face of the girl opposite, biting the cigarette holder and pursing his lips, the half-burned cigarette butt was flickering and extinguishing under the light, making the slightly squinted eyes dim. The convective wind ruffled the hair on his forehead, and the well-defined face was hidden in the backlit shadows of the corridor, sharpening his handsome features like ice sculptures.

"He Manzhou?"

The voice of the voice overflowed from his throat, probably because of smoking, and Bai Yicong sounded slightly hoarse.

He Manzhou has not completely recovered from the embarrassment, so that she is still a little confused at this time, she nodded, the complete self-introduction was stuck, and she held back for a long time before she could hold back a sentence.

"Hello. ”

Bai Yicong bowed slightly, and after briefly confirming the name, he paused slightly as if he was pointing.

In the few seconds of silence between each other, Bai Yi never rushed into the door, but leaned sideways against the edge of the door frame, picked up the cigarette and extinguished it unhurriedly, and then threw it in the trash can.

"Okay, what's the matter with me?"

Before coming, He Manzhou carefully rehearsed several sets of plans, openly and honestly, saluted first and then soldiers, knocked on the side, and led the snake out of the hole...... But she did everything she could, but she underestimated Bai Yicong's aura, she didn't expect him to be so unpredictable.

This man is mysterious and cold, just like the iceberg theory proposed by Vicentia Satya, behind the few expressions and words, it seems that there is a bottomless iceberg hidden, no one knows what he thinks, he can only feel the cold to the bone, but the gaze of the eye has already made He Manzhou fall down.

At such a time, how should we say it, or rather, how can we hold the initiative in our own hands?

The confrontation was going on invisibly, and He Manzhou suddenly felt hesitant.

As for the girl's words and sentences like a great enemy, Bai Yixian was not in a hurry at all, just poured out the tea that was already cold in the cup and added a new cup of tea.

And the moment the boiling water was poured into the cup, He Manzhou raised his eyes and finally opened his mouth.

"I have some personal matters and want to talk to Boss Bai. ”
