Chapter 36: Pretending to be stupid

As soon as Shi Rujin arrived in the second row and sat down, he saw Qiu Yuting in front of him get up and leave his seat and walk towards the backstage.

At this time, on the stage, Huo Wei and the guests raised their red wine glasses.

Shi Rujin knew that this was the climax of the opening ceremony, and the next step was the signing ceremony, which was Qiu Yuting's business, Huo Wei's task was successfully completed today, and he had to say that he was now at ease on this occasion.

Shi Rujin had nothing to do, so he looked around.

The old Veken Plaza was built at the end of the last century, and it was once a landmark building in Rongcheng, and it was once a glory in the local business district, but with the changes of the years, it lost its luster in the end.

With many years of experience in commercial operations, the Bosheng Group has completely transformed its hardware after taking control of Veken Plaza, and at this moment, the glass hollow design at the top of the square, the circular corridor on all sides, and the dazzling giant chandelier pouring down like a waterfall no longer have the previous sense of heaviness.

Shi Rujin admired it for a long time, and from the perspective of the guests, he felt that the environment here was very good, the atmosphere was good, but the price was a little too good.

Qiu Yuting positioned the target customers of Bosheng Veken Plaza in the high-income consumer group, and most of the brands entering the market are international first-line, although Shi Rujin has a good income, he is only middle-class, far from reaching the consumption threshold here.

"Wait a while, let's go shopping on it together?" someone in the front row turned around and said to Shi Rujin.

Shi Rujin found out that Huo Wei had come down.

"What do you need to buy?" Shi Rujin subconsciously asked, usually Huo Wei would give her a list of what he wanted to buy, the young master used to like to buy cars, and now most of his living expenses are used to support the team, and when he is the chairman, he only takes a symbolic monthly salary of tens of thousands of yuan, Huo Wei's car is no longer bought, and there is no other luxury consumption, and the matter of shopping is a little far away from him.

"Is there anything you like?" Huo Wei asked as he stared at Shi Rujin.

Shi Rujin shook her head, Shi Rujin will leave in a few days, she has to bear her brother's expenses in the United States, at this time, she will never throw the money out casually because she "likes".

Suddenly remembering Shi Chenchen, Shi Rujin's heart couldn't help but move, she noticed last time that the sneakers Shi Chenchen was wearing had been worn out to the point that Shi Rujin bought for him two years ago, the brand was good, and Shi Chenchen, who was a little vain, was very happy.

Shi Rujin thought about buying two pairs of shoes for Shi Chen, but he was so busy during this time that he forgot about it, maybe he could go back and have a look at it.

Although the things here are a little more expensive, who teaches Shi Rujin to like to spoil his younger brother!

"Look in the direction of you at 9 o'clock!" Huo Wei seemed to see something.

Shi Rujin didn't know why, and looked at Huo Wei's line of sight.

It turned out that Qiu Yuting and Guo Jialin came out from behind the stage, and at this time, Su Yuheng walked opposite the two.

"Isn't that Mrs. Qiu?" Huo Wei pointed over there and asked Shi Rujin.

Shi Rujin was also a little surprised, he saw Su Yuheng go upstairs just now, but he didn't expect to come down again so soon.

"Lao Qiu is a little interesting!" Huo Wei laughed.

Shi Rujin's eyes kept falling over there, and noticed that Su Yuheng first shook hands with Guo Jialin, and then pressed the range of turning his head, Su Yuheng should have glanced at Qiu Yuting.

Su Yuheng seemed to say something, Guo Jialin's expression was a little surprised, and then patted Qiu Yuting on the back, Shi Rujin felt that Su Yuheng should be introducing her husband and wife relationship with Qiu Yuting.

Qiu Yuting's face happened to face Shi Rujin's side, his expression was very flat, he almost didn't say anything, he stood next to him with his hands behind his back, as if he was listening to Su Yuheng and Guo Jialin talking, but his eyes looked at the ground.

"Do you think that Lao Qiu doesn't understand the amorous feelings," Huo Wei commented: "My wife sent it to the door by herself, and he was actually like a stick there!"

Shi Rujin held his cheeks and observed carefully, Huo Wei described it appropriately, the coldness of this couple is too obvious, even if Su Yuheng is still active, there is obviously a trace of estrangement.

Probably finally getting impatient, Qiu Yuting nodded at Guo Jialin, and walked towards the seat.

"They won't quarrel, will they?" Huo Wei asked Shi Rujin sideways.

"I don't know," Shi Rujin replied, and felt that it was his duty to remind Huo Wei, lest his big mouth make people unable to come to the stage: "Other people's private affairs, you'd better not ask nonsense!"

Huo Wei "cut": "I don't believe it, you're not curious at all!"

"Mr. Qiu is here, shut up!" Shi Rujin lowered his voice and reprimanded.

As a result, as soon as Qiu Yuting came over and sat down, Huo Wei patted him on the shoulder: "Why don't you bring Mrs. Qiu over?"

Shi Rujin glared at Huo Wei angrily, Huo Wei turned his head and squeezed his eyes at Shi Rujin, obviously with a little intention.

Qiu Yuting was a little stunned, shook his head with a smile, and sat down next to Huo Wei.

Seeing this, Shi Rujin hurriedly explained: "We met Mrs. Qiu when we were in Rongcheng, in fact, I met her just now, and after chatting, I found out that it was her company that wanted to sign Mr. Guo." ”

"When you meet Mrs. Qiu, why don't you tell me?" Huo Wei blamed Shi Rujin.

Shi Rujin pretended not to hear Huo Wei's words, and smiled at Su Yuheng, who was looking over.

"Lao Qiu, is it the thread you pulled for Boss Guo?" Huo Wei inquired with Qiu Yuting.

Qiu Yuting said lightly: "It has nothing to do with me. ”

After that, Qiu Yuting took the flow chart on the seat, lowered his head and read it, until Guo Jialin came over, and then raised his head.

As for Su Yuheng, he had already walked away at this time.

"Mr. Qiu, I didn't expect that Miss Su is your wife. Guo Jialin was obviously still surprised.

Qiu Yuting smiled at Guo Jialin, but was speechless.

Huo Wei looked at Qiu Yuting for a while, then turned his head to look at Shi Rujin.

Shi Rujin immediately gave her a look, Huo Wei shrugged at her, and then made a zipper gesture on the side of his mouth.

After slanting a glance at Huo Wei, Shi Rujin was amused in the end.

At the end of the signing ceremony, the general manager of Bosheng Veken Plaza accompanied Huo Wei and the guests to visit each floor, Shi Rujin followed a few steps at the end of the team, and saw that there was a direct elevator not far away, so he walked over.

In a trendy shoe store in the sports area on the fifth floor, Shi Rujin picked for a long time, not sure if his baby brother's taste had improved in the past two years, and looked at the time, Shi Chenchen should have left class a long time ago, so he launched a video connection invitation.

"Sister, don't bring this," Shi Chenchen complained as soon as he showed his face: "I just arrived at the door of the car shop, and your phone chased me!"

"I caught it now, and I ran to play again?" Shi Rujin laughed.

"Didn't you say that you should play once a week?" Shi Chen was anxious: "My quota this week is useless, sister, you are an adult, you have to talk about it, or your nose will become longer!"

"Shi Chen, you have the courage to be fat, Liang Jingru gave you the courage to dare to talk to me like this!" Shi Rujin reprimanded the other end of the phone.

"I can choose three good students now, I live a boring life every day, except for classes, I just go home to sleep, and I go to the car hall to relax in a week, and this time my classmates must come to see," Shi Chenchen suddenly lowered his voice: "Sister, don't chase after me today, save me some face!"

"What classmate?" Shi Rujin immediately asked.

"That ......" Shi Chen hesitated for a moment, rolled his eyes, and then said: "Tell you, don't tell your mother." ”

"Who is it to tell me?" Shi Rujin saw that Shi was sneaky, and urged loudly.

Shi Rujin has actually been a little worried, Shi Chenchen is a brainless child at this age, it is not too easy to learn badly, if she goes to the United States, she knows someone with bad conduct, and then she has a good way to bury her future, that is, she has done bad things with good intentions, but for the sake of Shi Chenchen's future, she can't help but let him go out, it's really tangled to think about it.

The mobile phone screen suddenly turned, and the backs of the two petite girls fell into Shi Rujin's eyes.

"What do you mean...... Is it them?" Shi Rujin laughed directly, originally she thought she was helping a stinky boy, but it turned out to be a little girl, and there were two of them.

"That's it!" In the voiceover, Shi Chen was still a little proud: "There is one in it, you have a good impression of me!"

Shi Rujin couldn't help laughing: "Shi Chen, have you grown your skills?"

Speaking of this, Shi Rujin simply inquired about his brother's gossip: "Tell me, which one do you like?"

"You adults just don't think purely. Shi Chen's face appeared on Shi Rujin's mobile phone screen again, and he smiled happily.

"Okay, your sister with a long nose and a non-pure mind, originally wanted to buy two pairs of sneakers for you in a trendy brand store, but I was afraid that you wouldn't like it, so I deliberately connected to the video to let you see the real thing, but now because I was despised by my brother, I was discouraged and decided to save the money. Shi Rujin pretended to be unhappy.

Shi Chenzheng laughed so hard that the camera of his mobile phone shook, and then he slammed and asked, "Ah...... Trendy brand?"

Shi Rujincheng wanted to hang Shi Chen's appetite, and said, "Forget it, I'm hanging!"

"Sister, show me, I wanted to change my shoes for a long time, I have saved up my pocket money for several months, but it is not enough, is it the brand I like, what style, or I will come over now, by the way, where are you?" Shi Chen said loudly, probably regardless of whether he would lose face in front of the girl.

"Take the girl out to play, I ran away halfway, I don't want this kind of boy!" Shi Rujin complained funny.

"Shi Chen, what are you called?" a short-haired girl's palm-sized face squeezed next to Shi Chen.

"Hello, I'm Chen's sister!" Shi Rujin took the initiative to wave his hand at the other party, wondering if this girl was the one Shi Chenchen liked.

The girl was obviously a little surprised, but soon waved her hand at Shi Rujin and called sweetly: "Hello Sister Shi, my name is Yuanyuan." ”

Shi Rujin paid attention to the two youthful faces in the opposite camera, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Shi Chen, who thought that he would never grow up, saw that he was about to have a girlfriend, is it really the years that make people old?

Instead, Shi Chen turned the camera, faced another girl, and said with a smile: "Xiaobai, and you, say hello to my sister!"

What Shi Rujin saw now was another long-haired girl who had been standing outside the camera, the girl had a pair of big watery eyes, and she looked a little shy.

"Hello," Shi Rujin nodded at the other party, and said in a parent's tone: "I'm going to play go-kart with my family today, right?

"Don't pay attention to my sister, she is sometimes very verbose!" Shi Chen spoke, obviously having an idea, and said: "Sister, I won't go to your place, you take a few photos, I'll pick slowly!"

"I don't have time to wait for you, I'll take you to the store tomorrow and try it on the spot!" Shi Rujin said, as a phone call seemed to come in.

"Okay then!" Shi Chen agreed happily, so happy that as soon as he finished speaking, he directly pinched the video connection.

Shi Rujin didn't know what Shi was anxious about, so he looked at his phone and picked up the phone.

"Where did you run again?" Huo Wei's voice came from the other side.

"On the fifth floor, I'm going to buy shoes for my brother," Shi Rujin replied, and then looked at his watch: "There is no arrangement for the next two hours, I will ask Xiao Chen to send you back to rest first, and the reception at half past six in the evening will be at the Haoting Hotel on the podium of Bosheng Vico Plaza, and Xiao Chen will be outside your door at ten o'clock at six o'clock." ”

"Who said I want to rest," Huo Wei coughed and said, "The shoes are bought, take the elevator to the first floor!"

When Shi Rujin arrived on the first floor, Huo Wei was standing in the elevator room, saw Shi Rujin empty-handed, and asked, "Didn't you buy shoes?"

"I'll bring him over and let him pick it himself. Shi Rujin asked casually.

"Don't run by yourself if it's okay in the future. Huo Wei reprimanded Shi Rujin thoughtlessly, turned around and left.

Feeling that Huo Wei was a little weird today, Shi Rujin followed behind and asked, "If you don't go back to rest, where are you going to go?"

"Drink coffee!" Huo Wei didn't look back.

Shi Rujin raised his heels and went up, Huo Wei was interested, but he was going to drink two small coffees?

In the café on the first floor, Huo Wei walked in, picked a window seat and sat down, raised his eyes to look at Shi Rujin who came up, and said, "Let's talk!"

When Shi Rujin sat down opposite him, Huo Wei was not in a hurry to speak, called the waiter, ordered two cups of coffee, thought about it, asked people to take the menu, looked at it for a long time, and ordered a strawberry chocolate madeleine.

Shi Rujin looked at Huo Wei busy working there, but her mind was thinking about the gossip that Mrs. Ma sent her, Huo Wei checked her file, and now she wants to talk to her, it is impossible to be promoted, it is rare to really fire him?

Of course...... No way.

Huo Wei didn't open his mouth until the coffee and dessert were served: "What day is today?"

This question is clueless again, Shi Rujin looked up at the ceiling, and said: "Today, October 29th, Thursday, Bosheng Vico Plaza opens, and in a week, my brother will take a plane abroad." ”

"It's useless to say something, besides!" Huo Wei seemed to be prompting, but he frowned, obviously not satisfied with Shi Rujin's answer.

"Is it to remind me that it's time to throw money at the team again?" Shi Rujin couldn't help laughing when he said this, and then felt that he was taking this opportunity to chat with Huo Wei.

Huo Wei looked disgusted: "Are you pretending to be stupid with me, or are you really stupid?"

"I don't know who is stupid," Shi Rujin laughed, and then said: "Remember when I mentioned the team to you before, I still think that it is necessary to conduct a financial ......?"

"What are you worried about?" Huo Wei shook his head: "Before Lao Ma followed me, he was an accountant, and in this part of the business, his experience is enough to manage the team well, isn't there only a few dozen people!"

Shi Rujin felt that Huo Wei trusted Lao Ma too much, and couldn't help but want to persuade him: "Although it is said that there is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no use in suspecting people, but the authority you are giving to Lao Ma now is too great, and there is a lack of effective supervision, can you really guarantee it, there is no problem?"

"Why do you suddenly have so many opinions about Lao Ma?" Huo Wei wondered.

Shi Rujin said with a serious expression: "The last time I was in the car shop, I heard some employees' private discussions, of course, those are just one-sided statements, and they still need to be verified, but even if Myerskey is just a small business in your eyes, as a funder, as the owner of the car shop, you still have the responsibility to understand its true business situation, I don't make any judgment on Lao Ma now, I just want to find the truth." ”

Huo Wei: "......"

Shi Rujin waited patiently, and Huo Wei looked out the window at this time, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Today is your birthday, I wanted to make you happy, but it turned out to be ......" Huo Wei finally opened his mouth, and then stood up: "I really admire you, my interest has been disturbed." ”

"Birthday ......" Shi Rujin was stunned.

Huo Wei was obviously impatient to listen to what Shi Rujin said, and walked quickly towards the outside of the café.

Shi Rujin sat in his seat, wondering if Huo Wei was angry, but why did he leave?

At this time, Huo Wei had already stood outside the glass window on Shi Rujin's side, looking at Shi Rujin inside, one hand in his trouser pocket, and the other hand pointing towards the atrium.
