In the next two days, Luo Xi was busy preparing and planning for the opening of the center, and his feet did not touch the ground.

Si Junxian's side was very quiet, except for signing a prenuptial agreement with her, he never appeared again.

The content of the prenuptial agreement was consistent with the consensus reached by the two on the yacht, Luo Xi carefully read them one by one, and finally signed them happily.

Si Junxian didn't urge her to get the certificate, of course she wouldn't take the initiative to ask.

In the busy, Luoxi ushered in the UAC research team.

As expected, it was really her old rival Celine who led the team, a group of four.

Don't look at the fact that there are not many people, but they all perform their duties, they are all veterans, which shows the degree of attention.

The position of UAC Asia-Pacific director was stared at by many people at the beginning, and Celine was the most competitive and promising.

But at the final decision-making moment, the original candidate turned out to be Luo Xi, which inevitably caused criticism.

UAC is a century-old art business founded by the Medici family, now run by the Younis couple, who are managed by professional managers.

After Celine saw Luo Xi, she first had a greeting that pretended to be intimate but was actually hidden in the needle.

"Luo Xi, take the lead alone, you've worked hard!How is it, are you still used to life?"

Luo Xi smiled just right, not too affectionate and not cold, and said: "Compared with you, where can I talk about hard work? Obviously I can do the work at the headquarters, but I have to come here in person, so far away." ”

"Hehe, that's what I'm talking about, you, you, why are you so careless, and you can still be complained by customers. "Celine doesn't fall behind.

Luo Xi picked up the coffee cup and took a sip comfortably, "When you first arrive, you will inevitably touch some local interests, and it is a good thing that someone targets us and shows that we are strong enough." This truth was taught to me by Celine. ”

When Luo Xi first entered the UAC, she was not obvious, but later she let go of her hands and feet and made achievements, and gradually became a thorn in the side of some small groups and individuals.

If you are not strong enough, no one will target you, at most you will pinch and knead it as a bun to play, but if others treat you as a threat, then it means that you really have strength.

When Celine heard this, she smiled and said, "That's what I said." Let's save some time, and we'll talk when we're done with work, and then let's get to work, shall we?"

"No problem. Luo Xi called two subordinates to cooperate with Celine in the investigation and evidence collection, and then she said to everyone: "You are busy, I will go to the venue of the center to have a look." ”

Celine wanted to follow, but as soon as she said that she was busy with work, she couldn't speak again.

Luo Xi smiled at her, closed the door and left.

She turned back to the office to get her bag, and when she opened the door, she saw a person sitting on the sofa in the hospitality area, with his back to her.

walked over and found that it was Si Junxian.

"Mr. Si, why didn't you say hello in advance?" Luo Xi walked to the sofa opposite him and sat down, and asked casually.

"Your assistant said you went to receive the research team?" Si Junxian didn't answer Luo Xi's question, and it was not necessary.

"Well, it's routine. Why, did you come to care about me?" Luo Xi was in a good mood and made a joke.

Si Junxian's gaze fell on her face, and her dark eyes made Luo Xi suddenly think of the sea at night.

Calm, vast, profound.

"It's not. The other party directly denied it.

I thought I could say something nice, but this answer was too incomprehensible. Luo Xi shook his head in his heart.

Si Junxian didn't like Luo Xi's frivolous appearance when she was sober, but when she wore this invisible mask, she was also very charming.

He picked up an invitation letter that had just been placed on the coffee table, "This is sent by Changfeng to invite you to the birthday banquet of Mr. Han's 80th birthday." ”

"Invite me?" Luo Xi opened it with some confusion, and sure enough, it was her name.

"Well, to be precise, an invitation to us. Si Junxian said.

"Oh, then I borrowed your light, right?" Luo Xi remembered the clip from the drinking party before the autumn auction began.

The world is unpredictable, at that time, she was still thinking about how to find a springboard to get close to Han Jingting and Lu Xingyun, but she didn't think that this springboard would be tied to herself now.

"Now that you know, help me prepare a birthday gift. Si Junxian said effortlessly and extremely lightly.

Luo Xi immediately guessed, "Okay, but you have to pay for the mounting." ”

Si Jun glanced at her with disgust, "You also care about this money?"

"One yard is one yard, if you don't contribute, how can you count it as a gift from you? I didn't ask you for money to write, it's already very righteous. "Luo Xi is reasonable.

"Good. Si Junxian didn't make a pointless dispute, got up and prepared to leave, and reminded: "The dinner is the night after tomorrow." ”

"Well, I can't delay. Luo Xi picked up the bag and followed Si Junxian out of the door.

"You want to go out?" After Si Junxian noticed it, he turned around and asked Luo Xi.

"yes, go to the center and see how it's going. Are you interested? You're a great hero. Luo Xi sincerely invited.

Si Junxian thought for a while, "No, I made an appointment." I will definitely be there at the opening and send you a flower basket. ”

"Haha, yes. Luo Xi said happily.

She began to feel that Si Junxian was quite good when he was relaxed, but when he was serious, he was a little oppressive.

Luo Xi stayed in the center until six o'clock in the evening, and Ye Man called her to ask her for dinner.

"Don't you think I'm bothering you now?" Luo Xi quipped.

"No, no, my aunt is coming soon, she wants to eat meat! Hurry up and accompany me to shabu-shabu!" Ye Man always couldn't hide her excitement when she mentioned eating, and she didn't have the momentum of a female elite in the workplace.

However, this is also in front of Luo Xi, and her "atypical schizophrenia" will be manifested.

"Okay, then you wait for me, I'm in the east of the city. Luo Xi said.

"What are you doing there?" Ye Man asked casually.

"It's a long story, let's meet and talk. ”

"Good. ”

After explaining the work, Luo Xi left and rushed to the hotel.

Coincidentally, the two met, and when they walked to the door holding their arms, the welcome lady apologized to inform them that due to a sudden line failure, it had been closed for three hours that day, and it was not clear when it would be repaired.

"Huh?" Ye Man's disappointed expression hung on his face.

Luo Xi shrugged, "That can't be helped, let's change it." ”

"But I'm too hungry to walk...... I worked overtime at noon and didn't eat. Ye Man said with a sad face.

"Is there a private restaurant around here? I remember that his sweet and sour short ribs are particularly delicious, and is there any?" Luo Xi looked left and right, and was awakened by the name on the street sign.

Ye Man's eyes lit up, "Go and see!"

Since Gu Xi's "death", she has not set foot in many places, and this is one of them.

The first is that she didn't meet such a good friend and looked around for food with her, and the second is that she was afraid of touching the scene and thinking of her friends.

With memory, Luo Xi and Ye Man quickly found the old shop.

The name has not changed, but the store has been renovated, and the antique small gate courtyard is a building of its own, which is very charming.

"Hello, do you have an appointment?" the proprietress smiled kindly.

"No, I'm sorry, we ...... I came here on a temporary basis. I haven't been here for years. Luo Xi said.

As soon as she heard that it was a regular customer, the proprietress became happy: "It's hard for you to remember here, it just happened that there were tables of guests who canceled temporarily, what a coincidence." ”

Luo Xi and Ye Man looked at each other and smiled, and happily followed the guidance of the proprietress to take a seat.

As soon as he sat down, the sharp-eyed Ye Man discovered something terrible.

"Look at it, look at it, isn't that, my male god?!" she quickly gave Luo Xi a look and asked her to look back.

The space of the private restaurant is not very large, and the private rooms are mainly private rooms, so there are only four tables in the hall.

Si Junxian was in the innermost position by the window, while Ye Man and Luo Xi's position was closer to the entrance.

Luo Xi shook her head and said not to look, she immediately realized who the male god Ye Man was talking about.

She whispered, "Don't look at it! It's not good to be found in such a big place! Eat quickly, I have something important to tell you after eating." ”

With Si Junxian's marriage to such a big matter, Luo Xi felt that he had to let his friends know in advance, after all, it was not easy to hide.

The public may be able to, but Ye Man is too close to hide it.

I wanted to talk to Ye Man while eating, who would have guessed that I met the person here!

Ye Man retracted his gaze and asked secretly, "How important?"

"Very, very, very, special, important. Luo Xi sold Guan Zidao.

"Okay, then hurry up and order. Ye Man's gossip soul was hooked up by Luo Xi again.

She beckoned the waitress to come over and gave a few names for the dishes.

The waiter wrote them down one by one, and when he got to the last one, he said, "I'm sorry miss, because our raw materials are purchased on the same day to ensure freshness, and the short ribs used to make sweet and sour short ribs have just run out, and the last one has been ordered by the guests at that table." ”

Coincidentally, the waiter pointed to the seat where Si Junxian was.

The place is not big and quiet, and the sound of the waiter just now can also fall on the other party's ears.

Luo Xi looked back and collided with Si Junxian and Jiang Mengxi's gaze.

How...... It's her?

When Luo Xi saw Jiang Mengxi, he naturally thought of his experience in the mall two days ago......

At that time, the two didn't seem to know each other at all, why did they sit down to eat together a day apart?

Luo Xi is incredible, this pace is too fast, right?

"Hey, Xiaoxi, hey!"

Ye Man looked at Luo Xi's head that didn't turn back for a long time, and was so anxious that she tapped the back of her hand with the head of her chopsticks, and waved her hand at Si Junxian very obediently, which was regarded as a greeting.

She thought to herself, this woman, she said she didn't look at it just now, why can't she take it back now?

Luo Xi retracted his gaze under Ye Man's reminder.

"I said, is it possible that you also like my male god? Are you jealous? I don't have as much reaction as you. Ye Man pretended to be disgusted.

Luo Xi had no choice but to use his mobile phone to send a message to Ye Man, so as not to have ears across the table.

She didn't say anything about the yacht, only what happened to her at the mall yesterday.

Sure enough, Ye Man's focus was not at all on how Si Junxian and Jiang Mengxi met, but why did Luo Xi go to the mall with Si Junxian?

Luo Xi felt that this was a good opportunity for herself to practice her writing skills.

After describing it, she tried to explain the ins and outs as concisely as possible.

Ye Man looked at his phone, his mouth opened wider and wider, and his unbelievable expression was written on his face.

Luo Xi added, "Manman, please keep it a little, be dignified and steady, and show your momentum in the auction hall, okay?"

Ye Man coughed lightly, realizing that he had lost his temper.

But this news is too exciting, my good friend is actually going to marry an unattainable male god?! This is not just as simple as it seems on the surface, it is intricate, and it makes people think about it.

"Hello two young ladies, the lady at that table said that this plate of sweet and sour short ribs is for you, she doesn't like sweet. The waiter served the dish and smiled.

Luo Xi inevitably thought of trying on clothes in the mall.

But she is not a scheming person, since people are kind, she will take it.

Ye Man also saw that this dish had not been touched at all, and it was brought directly from the back kitchen, presumably the other party had ordered it after hearing the waiter and them say that there was no such dish.

"How do you get it, do you have to go over and say thank you?" Ye Man asked Luo Xi.

"Yes. "That's what I said, but I really don't want to lift my legs.

"If you don't send it back, it looks like we're hungry. Ye Man also felt awkward, "What is this? Do you think she is holding a grudge?"

Luo Xi lowered his eyes, stared at the plate of sweet and sour chops for a while, and called the waiter.

"To thank the lady at that table, help me order a steamed sea bass to be delivered. Thank you. ”

Ye Man listened, and a smile bloomed on his face, "It's really yours." ”

"Come and don't be rude. Luo Xi said with a smile.

After the fish was sent over, Luo Xi and Ye Man got up and came to Si Junxian's table.

"Thank you Si Zong and your friends for your generous gift, this should be our thank you gift. Luo Xi took the initiative to say.

Si Junxian lifted his eyelids, his eyes were faint, and he couldn't see a few meanings.

On the contrary, Jiang Mengxi became enthusiastic, looked at Luo Xi and said, "We have met before! ”

"Well, I remember. Luo Xi didn't want to talk deeply, "I won't disturb your meal." ”

However, she noticed that the other party's address to Si Junxian seemed to be very invisible. Got acquainted so quickly?

"That pork ribs, there is no other meaning, my friend didn't speak well that day, please don't take it to heart. Jiang Mengxi's generosity is remarkable.

"How so? Luo Xi turned around and wanted to leave.

"Since we're here, let's eat together. Si Junxian suddenly opened his mouth, and Luo Xi and Ye Man looked at each other at the same time.

Which tendon is wrong?

Jiang Mengxi also felt stunned, but instead of showing it, he smiled: "That's right, why didn't I think of it!"

"No need, right, we'll have to ...... later" Ye Man looked at Luo Xi and hesitated to refuse.

Although the male god is a male god, when it is close in front of him, it is easy to make people nervous.

Si Junxian raised his eyes and looked at Ye Man, as if he was listening to her carefully, but Ye Man closed his mouth as soon as he met those eyes.

It's obviously an expression of "what do you have to say?"

The table was for four people, and the space was spacious enough, and the waiter quickly brought Luo Xi's dishes over.

In contrast, one side is light, and the other is ...... Not very healthy.

Jiang Mengxi is an independent artist. It's a pleasure to meet you guys. Jiang Mengxi generously introduced himself.

Luo Xi, an employee of UAC. Luo Xi made her title big and small, but she had heard of Jiang Mengxi's name.

A rising star, born in a professional class, with a deep foundation and a bright future, among young artists, there is a lot of potential for appreciation.

In the world of collecting, collectors judge young artists on whether they have potential and whether they are worth investing in, usually based on their academic qualifications, experience and qualifications, as well as the spirituality of their works.

"Ye Man, the general manager's employee. Ye Man was by the side of the male god, only caring about peeking at the boss's appearance, and he had no distractions.

She was not too obvious, staring at the dishes on the table most of the time, and staring at Si Junxian's hand.

The hand is beautiful, too!

Ye Man's performance made Luo Xi sigh silently on the side.

Si Junxian seemed to be completely out of the matter, eating slowly and methodically.

In order not to be cold, Luo Xi had to chat and eat with Jiang Mengxi.

"UAC is a great art center, and I've been to your headquarters and seen a few exhibitions. Jiang Mengxi behaved very modestly and talked happily with Luo Xi.

Luo Xiwan smiled: "Miss Jiang is also very powerful, if you are interested in cooperation, you can negotiate." Do you sign a contract with the gallery?"

"Not yet, I really have to think about it. Jiang Mengxi expressed interest.

Luo Xi turned his head to look at Si Junxian, and felt that the atmosphere was a little cold when he didn't speak, so he joked: "Mr. Si, you won't blame me for robbing people with you, right?"

After all, there is overlap between some of the two businesses.

"If you can snatch it, it means that I don't want it. Si Junxian said in a deep voice.

Ye Man felt that her ears were going to be pregnant.

Jiang Mengxi smiled awkwardly, "Let's stop talking about business." Junxian, thank you for your hospitality, I understand what you mean, I will tell my mother and not trouble you. ”

What he said made others scratch their heads.

Si Junxian was very satisfied with Jiang Mengxi's general performance, and her smile was a plus, so she didn't hate her as much as she hated other blind dates.

"You can talk about business matters, but you can talk about private matters privately. Si Junxian said, his left hand on the back of Luo Xi's right hand, his eyes were indifferent but faintly gentle, "Actually, I haven't made it public to my mother, Luo Xi, she is my girlfriend." ”

As soon as the words came out, the three women at the same table were all silent.

Ye Man stared at the hands of the two lying on top of each other, although she had been mentally prepared, Si Junxian's initiative to admit love still surprised her.

If Luo Xi hadn't explained to her that Si Junxian was a comrade and that the marriage was just to deal with the family, she would definitely think that Si Junxian was coming for real.

acted so realistically, looks so good, it's a pity not to go to the showbiz.

And Luo Xi didn't expect Si Junxian to make this move, but she knew Si Junxian's purpose very well, so she showed a faint embarrassed smile to Jiang Mengxi.

Jiang Mengxi didn't express too much surprise, and in the eyes of others, it could even be said that he was a little too calm.

"I'm stupid. Very few men have the patience to accompany a woman to the mall to buy clothes, and I should have guessed yesterday. Jiang Mengxi laughed at herself, but her tone did not mean annoyance at all, but was very relaxed and witty.

Her performance made Luo Xi and others unanimously feel that this was a girl with a high level of cultivation and a very good family education.

Even Si Junxian has no reason to hate her.

"Then I will replace wine with tea and bless you. Jiang Mengxi picked up the teacup and looked at Luo Xi with a smile.

"Thank you, Miss Jiang. Luo Xi did not shirk and strictly abided by the spirit of the contract.

I really didn't expect that her first step as a pretending couple would start like this.

The atmosphere changed subtly, and Jiang Mengxi skillfully led the topic to the art field that the four of them were familiar with, and gradually increased the difficulty and moved closer to the academic direction.

Luo Xi's attainments in academic theory are naturally much weaker than Jiang Mengxi, who is studying for a doctorate, and Ye Man has already yawned three or five times.

Jiang Mengxi constantly asked Si Junxian for advice and discussed some issues, and from time to time expressed his true opinions, completely like a scholar seeking knowledge.

Twenty minutes later, Ye Man and Luo Xi couldn't stay, the two looked at each other, Ye Man said with a needle: "Mr. Si, Miss Jiang, I'm sorry, I have an appointment with Luo Xi about something else, why don't you continue to do your studies, let's withdraw first?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't stop talking about the content of the topic, I'm really embarrassed!" Jiang Mengxi hurriedly apologized, and his tone was sincere.

"No, no, Miss Jiang, don't say that, I have benefited a lot from listening to it. Ye Man didn't listen at all.

It's not that she is not bad at learning, but she thinks that Jiang Mengxi chats very well, and her interests are not the same way.

In the same way, Luo Xi also felt the same, but she saw that Si Junxian listened to it very interestingly, and basically did not say anything unless the other party asked.

Si Junxian's uninterested look, in the eyes of Luo Xi and Ye Man, was like a quiet listener, giving advice from time to time.

After Jiang Mengxi listened to Ye Man's words, he smiled apologetically, and then said to Si Junxian: "I'm also full, why don't you come here today?"

"Hmm. Even if she didn't say it, Si Junxian was ready to leave.

Luo Xi and Ye Man's mood can be regarded as relaxed.

After checking out, the four of them walked out of the restaurant, Jiang Mengxi stopped and faced the three of them: "It's a pleasure to meet everyone, the opening ceremony of my solo exhibition will be in four days, I want to invite you to participate, is it okay?"

"I will definitely go when I have time. Luo Xi and Ye Man made a statement.

Jiang Mengxi looked at Si Junxian expectantly.

"If I have time, I will go with Luo Xi. Si Junxian said.

"Okay, thank you!" Jiang Mengxi laughed happily, his smile clean and sincere.

Luo Xi always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't elaborate on it.

"Then I'll go first. Bye. Jiang Mengxi took the initiative to leave.

She didn't drive, and when her mother told her where to meet, she thought that the other party must have driven the car, so she could take her home after dinner.

Si Junxian didn't make a request to send her, she kept smiling and nodded, turned around and walked to the side of the road to take a taxi.

The moment he turned his back to Luo Xi and the three of them, the smile on Jiang Mengxi's face disappeared.

Last night, when she learned that the person she wanted to see was Si Junxian, her heart beat a little excitedly.

She didn't expect that the brother who "arranged to take care of" her mother was actually the low-key but powerful collector she had admired for a long time.

After the two met today, she tried her best to restrain her inner ecstasy, took the initiative to introduce herself, and then said to Si Junxian: "It's a little rusty to call you Mr. Si, I heard my mother say that they all call you Junxian, can I also call you like that?"

Si Junxian did not object, this name was just a code name for him, and it didn't matter how he called it.

He never felt that whoever called him "Jun Xian" would seem close to him.

Distant and close, he has his own judgment.

Si Junxian's acquiescence made Jiang Mengxi happy for a long time, but Luo Xi's appearance made her lose her qualification to dream before she could start fantasizing.

How could she still laugh?
