Chapter 202: The Stumbling Block
Shu Hua had to go to the store to guard in the afternoon, and after lunch, everyone separated. Zhou He originally wanted to take the little guy to play, but the little guy had the habit of taking a nap and had to sleep after a while, so he had to give up.
They all came out, she and Cheng Wei were not in a hurry to go back to the house, the two went to the bookstore and then went to the nearby supermarket to buy some daily necessities. After putting the things in the car one by one, Cheng Wei took her to a nearby café for afternoon tea, and then walked along the small alley with gray tiles and white walls next to the café.
The alley is an old alley, with a small market of its own, with handicrafts and other knick-knacks and some snacks.
Zhou He watched as he walked, and when he came across something he liked, he would buy it.
There were acrobats in the alley, and she watched it with great interest for a long time.
She and Cheng Wei have almost never been so leisurely shopping, and she cherishes the time at this moment. It wasn't until the sun went down and the vendors closed their stalls that they reluctantly left.
My aunt went back to Kyoto in the afternoon, and when they went back, the yard was empty, and there was no light in the house. Zhou He was tired after shopping all afternoon, and he was going to cook again, but Cheng Wei didn't let her, let her rest for a while, and just eat noodles tonight. He'll do it.
Zhou He didn't bother to move again, so he responded.
After an afternoon of walking, she went upstairs to take a shower and change her clothes, and then went downstairs.
Cheng Wei had already started cooking noodles in the kitchen, took out the watermelon that the two of them bought on the way back, inserted a fork and put it on the small table, and gave Zhou He a snack.
Zhou He went to the kitchen door after drying his hair, and when he saw him boiling water, he asked if there was anything he needed her help with.
Cheng Wei smiled and said no, let her go outside to rest. He can do it alone.
Zhou Rong didn't insist, went back to the living room, and looked out the book he had just bought from the bookstore today. The light in the kitchen was dim yellow, and there were watermelons and several fruits on the clean and tidy small table, Zhou He flipped through the book and looked at it, and he stopped somehow and looked at the kitchen. The originally deserted yard suddenly seemed to smell of fireworks.
It was already twilight outside, and the dim yellow street lamps were lit up one after another. The whole alley with the smell of fireworks is shrouded in peace and tranquility.
The weather is hot, and the noodles are too hot to eat. Cheng Wei made cold noodles, made the noodles, put seasonings and shredded vegetables on them after cold water, and then brought them out and put them on the dining table after mixing.
Zhou He had been in a daze, and only then did he come back to his senses when he heard him call for dinner, put down the book of the first sect, walked over, and sat down at the dining table.
Cheng Wei went into the kitchen and got chopsticks out, pulled out a chair and sat down, and then asked, "What were you thinking just now?"
Zhou He shook his head and said, "I didn't think about anything." ”
Cheng Wei didn't chase after asking, and pushed the noodles in front of Zhou He after mixing, and said, "How about trying it?" ”
The noodles are drizzled with sesame oil and crystal clear cucumber shreds, which looks quite appetizing.
Zhou He hummed, took the chopsticks, and picked up the interview. He also added old vinegar to his face, which was quite appetizing.
Zhou He took a bite and said, "It's delicious." ”
Cheng Wei was very confident now, the corners of his lips hooked, and he also mixed the noodles in the bowl, and said: "Of course, I don't see who made it." ”
This is not even boasting, and the tail is about to rise to the sky. Zhou He rolled his eyes, but he didn't hit him.
The noodles taste good, but they're a little too simple. Cheng Wei ate a few bites and said, "After eating, if you are hungry later, we will call for supper." ”
He was worried that Zhou He would not have enough to eat. Zhou He said no, and said that he could eat enough if he had enough.
Her diet at school is not as exquisite as coming back, which is quite simple for Cheng Wei, but for her, it is commonplace.
Cheng Wei didn't insist. After eating a few bites, he got up and poured two glasses of water, one of which was pushed in front of Zhou He.
He was not comfortable with such thoughtfulness, and said, "I'll just come by myself." ”
Cheng Wei raised his eyebrows, noncommittal, and talked about some other topics.
The meal was very warm, Zhou He's snacks were a little too much, a bowl of noodles was very supportive, and after eating, he nested motionless on the sofa.
It's still early to go to bed, and Cheng Wei didn't pull her out to eat. After putting away the dishes and chopsticks, he also went to the sofa and sat down, turned on the TV for Zhou He, and opened the notebook next to her and started working.
Zhou He knew that he had very little time to rest, and when he saw him start working, he asked, "Are you going to the company tomorrow?"
Cheng Wei is running at both ends of Yucheng, Kyoto, and she doesn't know which side is more important now.
A smile appeared on the corner of Cheng Wei's lips, he reached out and patted her head gently, and said, "Don't you go, didn't I tell you to take a few days off?" He was not in a hurry to work, so he simply put his notebook aside and asked, "Is there any place you want to go to play, I'll go with you." ”
Zhou He yawned, shook his head and said, "No." She thought for a moment and said, "Let the workers come over tomorrow." ”
It just so happened that she was idle during this time, and she did everything she had to do, saving her a lot of work in the future.
Cheng Wei responded.
The two didn't talk anymore when they said this, and Cheng Wei picked up the computer and started working. Zhou He looked at the TV. She hadn't watched TV for a long time, and the boring soap operas were bloody, probably because she was too idle, she actually watched them quite energetically.
Her stomach was obviously very full, and looking at the fruit on the small table, she couldn't help but pick it up and eat it slowly.
The latter was so full that he restrained himself from stopping and focused all his attention on the TV.
After a day of shopping, she curled up on the sofa and fell asleep before she finished watching TV. Cheng Wei knew that she had a light sleep, so he didn't rush to carry her to bed, but took a thin blanket on the side to cover her.
Zhou He's eyelashes moved, but he still didn't wake up. Cheng Wei took the remote control on the side again and turned down the sound of the TV.
It was already past ten o'clock when he finished processing the mail, and Zhou He was still sleeping soundly.
He turned off the computer and TV, and instead of calling her, he picked her up and went upstairs.
Zhou He rarely slept deeply, and she didn't wake up all the way, but she woke up in a daze when Cheng Wei put her on the bed.
There was only light from the street lamp outside in the room, her mind cleared up a little, and asked Cheng Wei, "What time is it?"
Cheng Wei looked at the time and said, "It's half past ten, sleep well, I'll go wash up, and I'll come in a while." ”
His voice was very gentle.
Zhou He hadn't fully woken up yet, so he mumbled and closed his eyes.
Cheng Wei let her sleep first to let her store her strength early, and when she went to bed, he began to get restless. Zhou He's mind slowly cleared up under his attack.
Cheng Wei's energy was very good, but he still tossed until midnight, and then fell asleep.
Cheng Wei was very good at doing things, and when Zhou He got up the next day, there were already workers coming. is talking with Cheng Wei in the courtyard.
The two of them had already talked about it, and when they saw Zhou He coming out, Cheng Wei woke up after saying a word, and then said: "Breakfast is still warm, the masters will start construction today, and after eating, tidy up the things and take them to the yard next door." ”
I had something to do with my thoughts, nodded my head in response, and politely asked the workers in the yard if they had eaten breakfast, and then went to the kitchen.
Breakfast is soy milk and buns and fritters, I should have bought them for a while, the fritters are no longer crispy, and the buns are still warm.
Zhou He quickly ate his breakfast, and then went upstairs to pack his things.
Cheng Wei didn't take long to come up and help her pack her things. The workers in the yard began to discuss what they were going to do today.
said that it was to clean up things, and Zhou He only had to clean up. Everything was moved to the house next door by Cheng Wei alone. The good thing is that there aren't a lot of things.
When Zhou He packed up her things and went to the house next door, she found that this yard was completely different from when she left.
When I entered the courtyard, I realized that everything here was exquisite. Even the flowers and plants raised are not ordinary varieties raised by Zhou He.
The small garden floor is paved with pebbles of similar size, and there is a small rockery and flowing water in the corner of the very edge. A few lotus plants were also transplanted into the small pool.
Zhou He entered the courtyard and began to look around, and after a while he entered the house.
The house has also been renovated, and the style of decoration is the pastoral style that Zhou He likes very much. The curtains are a thin gauze that swings when the wind blows.
I have to say that Cheng Wei has always been very good at enjoying it, and when he comes into the house to rest, he seems to be a little less tired.
He put the packed things into the storage room, and when he came out, he saw Zhou He still looking at it, and asked, "Do you like it?"
Zhou He nodded and said, "It's beautiful." ”
It's not at all as simple and cold as his usual style.
Cheng Wei took her to the courtyard now, and put two reclining chairs under the eaves on the side. He walked over, smiled and said, "You can come here to bask in the sun and read books in the future." In a few days, several kinds of flowers will bloom in the yard. ”
This courtyard is pleasing to the eye just by looking at it, and Zhou He sighed.
The refrigerator here is much larger than the yard next door, and it is full of vegetables and fruits. You don't have to buy groceries for a short time.
I have to move the things I have to move over, and I don't have to clean them up. After a simple tidying up, Cheng Wei asked Zhou He to go to the recliner to rest and read, while he himself cut the fruit and took the snacks and put them aside.
It's a very pleasant day, and you just need to cook and water the flowers every day. The project with Cheng Wei next door does not need to be supervised by Zhou He. She spends most of her day lying on a recliner under the eaves reading a book and dozing off.
Such days didn't last a few days, and on the third day of moving to this yard to help, Zhou He was cooking soup in the kitchen, and Cheng Wei's mobile phone rang.
He was sitting on a small stool and choosing vegetables, but then he rushed and walked outside to answer the phone.
He didn't receive the call for long, but he was back in five or six minutes. Zhou He looked sideways at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Cheng Wei sighed, said nothing, and said: "There is something going on in the company, I have to go back tomorrow." ”
He went out to answer the phone Zhou He was a little uneasy, and asked, "What's the matter?" She was inexplicably a little uneasy, paused, and then said: "You said that you would let me know everything in the future." ”
Cheng Wei stretched out his hand and patted her head, chuckled, and said, "Can I understand that Xiao Ahe cares about me very much?"
He was trying to divert the subject.
Zhou He didn't fall for him, looked at him and waited for him to speak.
In the end, Cheng Wei sighed low and said, "Why are you so suspicious?" he said and hugged Zhou He from behind, but he still didn't hide it from him anymore, and said: "There are a few more cases involved in Kyoto, and I'll go back to cooperate with the investigation." ”
He knew that Zhou He was worried, and then said: "The matter on Hehuan Street is so involved that it won't be dealt with for a while. Don't worry, nothing will happen. "And as long as anyone has something to do with him, he will be called over to cooperate with the investigation. Not only did he have to cooperate with the investigation, but even the people under him had to go along.
He asked not to worry, but how could Zhou He not worry, and asked, "Have you already bought the ticket?"
Cheng Wei kissed her lightly on the cheek and said, "I've asked the assistant to help with it." ”
Zhou He couldn't rest assured, he went over there to be investigated, and it was difficult for her to stay here. Then he made a quick decision and said, "I'll go with you." ”
She hadn't been back for long.
Cheng Wei originally asked her to stay here, but knowing that she should feel more at ease with the past, he nodded yes, and then called the assistant to order a check for her.
The comfort and calm of the past few days have been broken, although Cheng Wei has behaved as if nothing happened. But Zhou He was still worried, and he couldn't fall asleep in bed at night. Thinking that I would have to get up early tomorrow to go to the airport, I forced myself to close my eyes and then fell asleep in the early hours of the morning.
She woke up early the next day, she didn't have anything with her, just a change of clothes. Cheng Wei also didn't have much to bring, and a small suitcase filled all the things.
The driver was waiting outside early, and when the two went out, he stepped forward and respectfully opened the door.
Zhou He didn't want to worry Li Ying, so he didn't call her when he went back this time.
Cheng Wei had to go over immediately to cooperate with the investigation, and the two were separated at the airport. Li actually drove over to pick him up, and Zhou He was sent back to his residence by the driver.
This past investigation didn't worry Zhou He much, and he came back in the past two hours. Zhou He hoped that this matter would end quickly, but he knew that things were not so quick and forced himself to calm down. After Cheng Wei came back, he had lunch, and then asked, "What did you want to cooperate with the investigation this time?"
It's torturous to not play like this.
Cheng Wei didn't seem to feel tortured at all, hugged Zhou He on his lap, and said: "There is a wanted criminal who has been arrested, and he is involved in selling those messy things." ”
His eyes were slightly dark, but Zhou He couldn't see it.
He was asked so often to cooperate with the investigation, because someone wanted to dig something out of him. So they summoned him in everything, trying to get some loopholes out of his mouth.
Cheng Wei didn't want to continue on this topic, so he said something to let Zhou He not worry, and then said, "I saw your little uncle over there today." ”
Zhou He couldn't help but be stunned at this moment, and looked at him sideways.
Cheng Wei took advantage of the situation to touch her lips lightly and said, "He should be going to take over this case." Your little uncle is capable, and it shouldn't be long before he takes over and will be able to find out everything that should be checked. ”
Zhou He nodded at this time.
Although her little uncle is selfless, he has to breathe a sigh of relief when he takes over the matter of Zhou He. At least the nerves don't have to be so tight all the time.
Cheng Wei didn't want to continue on this topic, so it didn't take long to open the topic. He knew that it was boring for Zhou He to stay here, so he thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to call Aunt Li and tell her that you are here?"
After Zhou He returned to the He family's villa, the time for the two to meet would definitely be reduced, although he was reluctant. But I don't want her to be bored here alone.
His vacation is over, and he has to go to the company. In addition, I have to cooperate with the investigation from time to time, so I may not have time to accompany her during this time.
Although He Changhui is approachable and treats her well. But it wasn't her home after all. Zhou He was not very comfortable staying there, so he said, "Don't use it for now, let's talk about it in a few days." She knew that he was busy, and said, "You are busy, don't worry about me, I'm bored and I'll go out for a walk." ”
Cheng Wei didn't insist, hummed, thought for a while, and said, "You can ask Zhu Jian to accompany you to go shopping." ”
Zhou He is in Kyoto, and his only friend is Zhu Key.
Zhou He nodded in response.
Cheng Wei didn't go out that night, but he had to go to the company early the next day. Zhou He sat idle, and when he got up to wash, he also got up to make him a sandwich, fried eggs, and hot milk. These are the easiest and can be done quickly.
Cheng Wei was reluctant to let her get up so early, and said: "I don't have to get up so early in the future, I will buy breakfast myself when I go to the company." After taking a break, this time is going to work, so take a good rest. In the future, I will ask my aunt to come over on time to cook the meal. ”
He ate breakfast quickly, and it didn't take long for him to finish and go out. Zhou He sent him to the elevator, he got into the elevator, and then went back to the house.
When Cheng Wei went down, Li was already waiting in the parking lot, and when he saw him coming over, he called Mr. Cheng, and then opened the car door.
When he got into the car and started the car, Cheng Wei asked, "Did you find it?"
Li Jing nodded and said, "I found it." It should be the one surnamed Shen who is doing ghost in it. The contract that was given to Mr. Xiao last time for their company, wasn't there a small company that came to you at that time? The boss of that small company was the son surnamed Shen. ”
That Shen Gongzi is oily-haired and powdery, and he doesn't do things well, but the cow is quite good at blowing. He has never been to see such a person, not even to see him. Who knows, they will be hated.
He hasn't done anything hurtful, but in a place like Hehuan Street, there is no shortage of side balls. It's impossible to be completely clean. And these things, once someone specifically targets them, it will be bad for him.
Cheng Wei took out a cigarette and lit it, didn't nod or speak.
Li was a little confused about his thoughts, hesitated slightly, and said, "Look, do you want to ask that Shen Gongzi out for a meal?"
Cheng Wei still didn't speak, and only after a while did he dust off the cigarette ash in his hand, and said lightly: "Since he is deliberately targeting, it is not appropriate to ask him out at this time." ”
If the heart is so small, either the lion wants to open his mouth wide, or he has to dig deeper.
And neither of these results is what he wants to see.
Li actually looked at him in the rearview mirror and asked, "Do you want someone to investigate secretly?"
Since the contract can't be signed, it will be a stumbling block behind the scenes, so this kind of thing must be done. As long as you go on a business trip, you will definitely find out something.
Cheng Wei said no, and snuffed out the cigarette in his hand. Then he looked sideways out the window.
He didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't speak. When Li was about to hold it back, he said lightly: "Li ...... The police officer's side quietly handed over some gossip about the surname Shen. ”
Li Peiyuan is not the same as those people, as long as he hears gossip, he will definitely investigate secretly. As long as the surname Shen has a fox tail, it will definitely be dug up.
And now he has to cooperate with the investigation from time to time, which is not suitable for these things. If you don't do it well at this juncture, you will be burned.
Li actually responded with a good word. This matter can be regarded as calculating Li Peiyuan, he hesitated a little, and said, "Miss Zhou's ...... there"
Cheng Wei said lazily in his narrow eyes: "This is Officer Li's business, can't I just toast him in the future and make amends?"
It's just that people don't necessarily want to drink his toast.
His cheeks have never been ordinarily thick. Li couldn't find anything to say for a while, so he didn't say anything and drove the car seriously.
Cheng Wei in the back seat has always been a little lazy, looked sideways out of the window for a while, and asked about several ongoing projects in the company recently.
Li has always been clear about these things, and now he will talk about the progress one by one. Knowing that there were people watching outside, he said that he would watch it himself.
Cheng Wei nodded now, and this time he vaguely informed Mr. Xiao about it.
It was a good answer.
Along the way, he talked about the company intermittently, and when he got off the car in the parking lot, Cheng Wei took the lead in the elevator.
When he got upstairs, an assistant was already waiting and began to report to him about his trip for the day.
Cheng Wei listened, and after the assistant finished speaking, he looked at him, thought for a while, and said, "Order some desserts and snacks to send to me later." ”
Fruit aunts will buy them, but snacks won't.
The assistant couldn't help but be stunned and responded with a good word.
Obviously, he just said that he wanted to order something, but who knew that Cheng Wei changed his mind in the blink of an eye, turned around at the door of the office, and said, "You don't need to send it over first, just take it to me." ”
