Chapter 13: Is She Nuoxi?
"Because I'm also... There weren't many people to ask for help with, and my dad was arrested halfway through college, and his former glory days were gone. Although I have been bullying you in the past, you are not the kind of person who cares, this time I really need your help, otherwise I would not have come to see you in private so late, only then would I not be monitored. Ji Yuan said very carefully.
"Yo, this is not like you, you were so majestic in the past, but now you can't see it. Dream really smiled maliciously.
"I can't help it, believe me I've really grown up, not as naΓ―ve as I used to be. β
"Then let me ask you, what does your company do, and why do you want to do it to Nuoxi?"
Ji Yuan paused, blinked quickly and replied: "This is all confidential I can't say, but the result is that taking down Nuoxi will be of great benefit to us, I heard that Nuoxi has a big boss, and the leader wants to get close to this person by taking down Nuoxi." β
"That's not right, why did you drug Nuoxi, what are your intentions? Mengzhen's eyes widened and he retorted.
Ji Yuan sighed, he really wanted to explain things clearly, but many things must be something that Meng Zhen didn't understand, even if he explained it, he didn't understand, and these were all trade secrets.
"Okay, don't follow me, I'm going home first, I solved the problem about Nuoxi by myself, it has nothing to do with you, and your growth or something has nothing to do with me. β
In the face of Mengzhen's resolute attitude, Ji Yuan couldn't say anything, but said to him when Mengzhen left: "If you see Nuo Xi tomorrow, you can also help me apologize to her." β
After Mengzhen returned home, his heart became more and more uneasy, tomorrow he had to see what Nuo Xi had become, so that Ji Yuan could ask for help like this, and at the same time, he felt that there was a story behind this.
At nine o'clock the next morning, he arrived at Ewell and explained the situation to the staff, and one of them immediately took him to the office, but as soon as the office door opened, Mengzhen was taken aback.
It was actually Ji Yuan who was sitting in the office, he waved his hand to signal the person to leave, and then only the two of them were left in the office.
"Sit down, don't be so inhibited. Ji Yuan pointed to the chair next to him.
"You're the manager here?"
"I lead the company in many directions, from high-intelligence design to tourism development, there are developments in all directions, and the hotel is just one of them, and I have just been transferred here for less than half a year, of course, because of the leader's trust in me. β
"So you arranged today's dinner as well?" Meng Zhen questioned.
"No, it was arranged by the leader, but I didn't expect the customer to be Nuoxi, our old classmate, so I chose a familiar place, but you came quite early, I thought you would arrive in the afternoon." After speaking, Ji Yuan took a sip of tea.
And Mengzhen felt as if he had been deceived, and he was becoming more and more confused about the current situation, so he asked a little uncalmly: "Let's put aside other factors first, you came up with the drug, right?" β
Ji Yuan nodded.
"I'm looking for me to have a back, right, after all, you lead the company so widely, if something happens, it will be a chain reaction, so you need to find a pure outsider to do insurance. β
Hearing this, Ji Yuan objected: "I really want to help you when I look for you." β
"Don't help me, I know what you mean, take money to perfunctory me, although I do need to earn money now, but I don't wade into your troubled waters, I just want to see Nuoxi's recent state, don't think too much. β
"I understand. Speaking of this, Ji Yuan sneered.
Meng Zhen grasped this detail and immediately asked, "You know the cause and effect of this incident, right? That laugh just now has exposed you." β
"I've already said this, and as a trade secret, I really can't tell you. β
"Do you know that I will definitely come here?" You also know about Nuo Xi's situation, but you pretend not to know, just to get my attention!" Meng Zhen suddenly reacted, Ji Yuan's abnormal state yesterday was to leave a foreshadowing for this moment, thinking of this, he asked even more uneasily: "Did you also calculate that I would definitely be drugged? What happened to Nuo Xi to make you plan this kind of thing so much?"
Ji Yuan stood up and walked in front of Mengzhen and said helplessly: "Maybe one day you will understand after standing at my height, the workplace is a battlefield without gunpowder, and you are the only one, no companions, no support, everything has to rely on yourself, although I quickly climbed to this height, but I don't want to say the hardships I suffered." β
"yes, it's almost impossible for a manager as young as you to have. β
"I've been in contact with this company since I was in college, earlier than many people started, and it was these things that made me understand a lot of things, I really can't tell you about Nuoxi, and I don't know much, everything will have to wait until after tonight's dinner. By the way, the girl who is with you is the daughter of the boss of An's Jewelry Group, named An Xiran, right? β
Mengzhen gasped and didn't speak.
"You don't have to panic, it's useless to panic, but you're also quite powerful, you can catch the daughter of this kind of company, I said that when I went there yesterday, I felt that the woman was a little familiar. β
"You have an idea for her?"
"I'm interested in her deeds, after all, she earned 200,000 a month by her own ability at that time. β
Mengzhen rolled his eyes, then changed the subject and asked, "Let's not talk about this for now, how can I get in touch with Nuoxi?"
"It's easy to do, when she arrives here in the evening, you just put on the waiter's clothes, help her open the door, lead the way in front of her, and then deliver the food to the private room, and you have a lot of opportunities to meet her during this time. β
"Since I'm going to wait until the evening, I'll come back in the afternoon, there are some other things in the store. β
"No problem, just say hello to me when you come over. Ji Yuan replied very politely.
Meng Zhen left here with some heavy steps, he began to regret it, regretted why he came here, but every time he thought of Nuo Xi's situation, he was very curious, in the end, he blamed Ji Yuan for why he found him, if it wasn't for his arrival, it wouldn't have caused the current situation.
Coming to the Dream House, Mengzhen stood at the door and watched An Xiran in the room looking at the computer intently, and sighed after entering: "The disaster star is working hard again." β
"Well, I'm thinking about how to do better publicity on the Internet, by the way, why did you get here so late. β
"I went to Aiwei to meet with Ji Yuan, he turned out to be the manager there, I felt as if I had been arranged, and I slowly approached his trap but I didn't know it. β
"What kind of trap?" An Xiran asked casually.
"It's just revealing some information to me about Nuoxi, and then not saying it all, just hooking my curiosity, hey, are these business people like this?" Mengzhen asked helplessly.
An Xiran didn't explain anything, but asked shallowly: "It seems that you care about this Nuo Xi very much, did you also have some thoughts about other people at the beginning?"
"I... They are all classmates who haven't seen each other for many years, and what is about to happen is very dangerous to Nuoxi, can you not be curious?"
"But you have 200,000 yuan on your back, and if they pay you after you help them, I don't have anything to say. β
"I'm not going to ask for this money. Meng Zhen said firmly, "It's worth wasting a little time, at least I can figure out these things." β
An Xiran helplessly covered half of his face and replied: "If people didn't come to you, there wouldn't be these things, this person is really, why did he suddenly find you?"
"It's not just me, he also knows you better, oh yes, I heard that your performance was very good, and you earned 200,000 a month. β
"What did your classmate tell you?" she asked, frowning.
"Isn't it at your level that it's easy to know a person's identity, and don't people like me have no privacy in front of you?" asked Mengzhen with a tense face.
"How can there be such a god, when you stand at this height, you will naturally understand. β
"Forget it, if the matter of Nuoxi is solved today, you can start work, it will be the Spring Festival in a month, you are really miserable, you have to go abroad during the Spring Festival." Mengzhen teased with a smile on his face.
"Don't be complacent, think more about yourself, if you can't make money, you won't even have a place to celebrate the New Year. β
Looking at An Xiran's anxious state, Mengzhen also sighed with emotion, for an orphan like him, it makes no difference if he can't survive the New Year, after all, he is the only one.
Soon the time came in the evening, Mengzhen completed all the preparations with the help of Ji Yuan, and he was also very nervous at this moment, because the red carpet was laid out at the door of Aiwei, and the people here attached so much importance to this moment, which also showed that Nuo Xi's current identity was not ordinary.
The group waited at the door like this, and finally when it was almost half past eight, a group of motorcades drove towards them, and a black Land Rover in the middle was parked on the red carpet impartially, Mengzhen saw Ji Yuan nodded, and then stepped forward to open the door according to the previous design.
The first thing that entered Mengzhen's sight was a long leg that wore a hateful sky, and the weather in January was so exposed to the outside without any warmth measures. At first, I really didn't dare to imagine that this person was Nuo Xi, until Nuo Xi, who was wearing heavy makeup, got out of the car and stood beside him, he couldn't help but drop his jaw in shock.
"Is she Nuoxi?" Meng Zhen muttered in surprise, because she was only wearing a short skirt, her hair was coiled, and she stood straight in place at the same time, even if the cold wind blew, she didn't shiver in any way.
At this time, an assistant put a mink coat on Nuoxi's shoulder, and Nuoxi immediately covered her body with the coat, and it could be seen that she was indeed cold, but she was just persevering.
At the same time, on the other side of the car came a bald head dressed very formally, although there were traces of maintenance, but it still could not hide his age.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but think, "This old man is the so-called big boss." β
This person walked to Nuo Xi's side, and then gently pushed Nuo Xi's back with his hand, and Nuo Xi walked forward a little mechanically, but slowly, in order to let the big boss walk in front of her.
After walking to the door, it was the bigwigs shaking hands and talking, Ji Yuan stood motionless nearby, and after they walked into the hotel, Mengzhen walked to Ji Yuan's side and asked, "It's not a secretary, it's not a lover, it's not a lover, what is the relationship between Nuo Xi and him?"
Ji Yuan coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "The relationship between the godfather and the goddaughter is already somewhat understood by the outside world, so it doesn't hurt to tell you." β
"You're setting up a Hongmen banquet tonight, right? β
Ji Yuan didn't answer, and then walked straight to the hotel.
Mengzhen stood in place, things developed beyond his expectations, especially when Nuo Xi just got out of the car, Nuo Xi became like this in a few years, no wonder Ji Yuan said that Nuo Xi had changed, let him be mentally prepared, but he didn't expect her to change so much.
Then Meng Zhen changed into the clothes of the waiter, and the other waiters followed to send the dishes to the private room, and at the same time he noticed that Nuo Xi sat there as if she was very frightened, even though the big boss next to her was talking and laughing with others, she was still sitting very restrained, the plate in front of her was very clean, and there were some grease stains on the chopsticks.
At this time, the two suddenly glanced at each other, and when Nuo Xi noticed Mengzhen, his eyes suddenly flickered, probably confirming Mengzhen's identity, and Mengzhen tried to calm his heart and put a plate of dishes on the table seriously.
The people around didn't notice the change in Nuo Xi's eyes, and still toasted each other and said some polite words, obviously these were only for others to see, after all, business secrets would not be casually let others hear.
After that, Mengzhen left the private room, came to the sink outside the toilet alone, poured cold water on his face, looked at himself in the mirror, he didn't know what he was facing, and coming here was just a few words from Ji Yuan, but after seeing Nuo Xi, his heart became even heavier, because she could be said to be completely controlled by that person, saying that it was the relationship between the godfather and the goddaughter, I am afraid that there will be some unsavory things behind the scenes.
It didn't take long for the footsteps of high-heeled shoes to come from the corridor, and I believe that this person would not be anyone else except Nuo Xi. Mengzhen stood still, as if he was waiting for her on purpose.
Finally, the footsteps got closer and closer, Nuo Xi also came to the sink, washed his hands briefly, and then said lightly: "After so many years, I didn't expect to meet you here." β
Mengzhen pretended not to care, looked around and asked with a smile, "Miss, may I ask if you are talking about me?"
