Chapter 74: The Man in the Painting

In order to develop Liu's Group, Liu Hanyan not only needs internal Douhongwei, but also needs new products and new markets, and the source of all this is indispensable for financial support. Once Chen Youliang withdraws his capital, the capital chain will be interrupted, and Jiang Tao, who is at the forefront of the Liu Group, will face the point of running out of ammunition.

As the chairman, she knows the situation of the group very well, and she will not tell Jiang Tao, the director of operations, the news that she has no money, but just let her do it freely. As for preventing Chen Youliang from withdrawing his capital, and even striving for financing, he handed it over to Subei to handle, which was her only way out.

The interest group represented by Hong Wei, how many people are waiting to see Liu Hanyan make jokes, and she can only endure it, at this time she has imperceptibly accepted the changes brought by Subei to the company.

Su Bei called Zhou Man out in the hotel conference room, explaining that he had something to do the day after tomorrow, and if you want to move, you can only rush this afternoon.

"What did the chairman tell you to do?"

"Well, this time it's a private matter, something happened at a friend's house of mine, I went over to take a look, and I have asked the chairman for leave. ”

Zhou Man looked at him suspiciously, she was very careful, she had always doubted whether Su Bei really had friends in Jianghai, as long as he wanted to do something to hide from himself, he would pull out his friend as a back, very suspicious.

Su Bei saw her doubts, and said in her heart What am I doing really has anything to do with you, if it weren't for the fact that you are active and serious in your work and loyal to me and the chairman, how can you have the leisure to help you move.

Zhou Man's feeling to Su Bei is that there is a lot of pressure, and this girl's carefulness makes Su Bei sometimes let her go in the office like a thief, for fear that she will see her relationship with Liu Hanyan.

The first time I went to Zhou Man's home, it was the same as what Subei imagined, the place where I lived was very small, the bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, or bedroom with its own bathroom and kitchen, because there was only a small single room of more than 20 square meters, but it was surprisingly clean.

And what surprised Subei was that the layout of Zhou Man's room, the tables, chairs, benches and pots and pans themselves were not much, because Zhou Man was very good at living, Liu Hanyan used the meal card and subsidy to the secretary as a welfare, so that she could often take home the meals of the Liu Group, and the leftovers from the first day could be used as breakfast the next day.

However, there are a lot of pen and paper and books on painting and sketching, and there are even many kinds of sketch boards alone, and there are two sketches hanging on the wall, as well as a few watercolors and oil paintings, and even Chinese paintings have not been framed, and when they are satisfied, they are hung on the wall.

"Secretary Zhou, I really can't see that you are still an artistic young man?" Su Bei looked at these paintings while re-examining this woman with a thinner heart, the inner world of a white-collar worker can be so rich, on Zhou Man's white ash wall, there are even wall paintings and graffiti that she carefully designed for herself.

Zhou Man smiled lightly: "My family conditions are not very good, otherwise I would have applied for the art student examination." My parents are also stubborn, and they feel that painting can't be eaten. ”

Su Bei smiled and didn't say anything, and continued to look at these paintings, at this time he somewhat understood why Zhou Man was so introverted and careful, but how many people in this world are doing what they like, she can rely on her own efforts to become Liu Hanyan's secretary, although it can't be said that one person is above ten thousand people, at least in the company, even Hong Wei is afraid to call her Secretary Zhou.

When Zhou Man contacted her new listing, Subei helped her put away the sundries.

Hung up the phone, Zhou Man came over and the two cleaned up together, and in the chat, Su Bei gradually learned that Zhou Man did not find a suitable job after graduating from university, and worked as a greeter in a hotel. Coincidentally, once the Liu Group held a drinking party in that hotel, when Liu Hanyan entered the elevator, the evening dress was caught by the elevator door, and the skirt tore a big hole.

How embarrassing Liu Hanyan was at that time, Subei could imagine. Fortunately, Zhou Man, who was at the elevator door, saw it and asked her to follow her to the changing room, and used a meticulous needle and thread to quickly mend the opening, and the mended skirt was actually as if it was not broken.

Afterwards, Liu Hanyan changed the broken evening dress in the hotel and forgot about it, until one day, Zhou Man carried a bag and personally sent her back to the company. Liu Hanyan saw that Zhou Man was very careful, so he asked her if she could come to work in the Liu Group, so she was transferred to the secretary team.

Liu Hanyan himself is a big grinning person, and his ability to take care of himself is extremely poor, even zero. Zhou Man is responsible for the hygiene of the chairman's office and the handing of tea and water in the secretary team, and over time, Liu Hanyan's dependence on her has become more and more dependent, and Zhou Man feels uncomfortable not coming to work for a day.

Su Bei suddenly realized, no wonder Liu Hanyan had such a big opinion on Zhou Man, but when he was angry, he only said that he would expel her, but he never put it into action.

"I lived in a smaller house at the beginning, do you know the capsule room? That is, the landlord divided the room into a dozen small rooms, the bathroom and kitchen are shared, only the bedroom has its own door, go in and sleep, there is no air conditioning, then the days are miserable. But fortunately, within two years, the chairman assigned me to work in her office, and then my salary doubled, and she knew that I was living in difficulty, and from time to time she would give me some subsidies...... There were also clothes and shoes that she was tired of wearing. ”

After listening to this, Subei still felt quite sad, but living in such a large modern city, no one's life pressure will be small. Zhou Man is already lucky, the chairman's secretary group has hundreds of people, and every girl looks glamorous, but how many people return home is also a small house of more than ten square meters.

After a while, the moving company's car came, the first trip was followed by Subei, the house was not bad, in a modern community for high-rise single apartments, one-bedroom and one-living room structure, furniture and household appliances are complete, several times stronger than Zhou Man's aggrieved small bedroom.

On the way back, Zhou Man told him that her ultimate goal was to buy a small house with one bedroom and one living room in Jianghai, don't plan for two rooms, and the one-room one room may be close to one million.

The next trip is some books and miscellaneous items, Zhou Man went by himself, let Subei wait here, and the rest of the things are some bedding and mattresses, which can be pulled over by Subei's car.

Watching Zhou Man leave, Su Bei took a breath of tap water from the thermos cup used by Zhou Man, breathed a sigh of relief, and lay on her bed, it seems that Secretary Zhou has such a quilt, and it is actually covered with cotton in summer, which is indeed a world of difference compared to Liu Hanyan's living conditions.

Subei took out his mobile phone and found the location of Chen Xuefei's Sanda center from the map, not far from the city center, but the consumption level here is really not low, if you don't run a school card, it will cost 100 yuan an hour to get started, and if you need a sparring partner and a professional straight, you will have to charge an additional fee.

Suddenly, his hand slipped, and the mobile phone fell into the gap of the mattress, Su Bei reached out and fished it out, just enlarging the slit, and the mobile phone fell under the bed with a bang.

Su Bei sat up from the bed, lifted the futon and mattress, and wanted to take out the mobile phone, he found at a glance that there was a layer of sheets wrapped in something under the mattress, which looked like a stack of drawing paper.

Unfold the sheets, and several paintings of different colors and words appear in front of you. Su Bei didn't know if it was because he was curious or for other reasons, because this action of owing affected many things that happened later.

The first painting was a sketch of a person's head, but what he didn't expect was that this sketch was actually himself. Flipping down further, there is an oil painting, still depicting the suit that Liu Hanyan bought that day. Seeing the last one, Su Bei's face turned red all of a sudden, this is a painted picture, and it is Su Bei's appearance without clothes. Of course, Zhou Man has never seen himself without clothes, obviously this painting is painted by Zhou Man's fantasy.

Su Bei doesn't know much art, but he can see that Zhou Man's artistic cells are really strong, and every detail of the painting is vivid and lifelike, but if the person in the painting is himself, it will feel even weird.

Seeing this, Su Bei sighed in his heart, he wouldn't really let Liu Hanyan say it, Secretary Zhou really had another feeling for himself. may be a reason for working in an office, Su Bei has always thought that Zhou Man's way of leading people comes from her work attitude, but if she is not interested in herself, why would she paint these paintings, and there is even a picture without clothes.

Of course, Subei would not think that Zhou Man was a casual girl, it can be imagined that Zhou Man can only rely on painting to kill time in this room where there is not even a TV set after work every day. She paints these paintings while reminiscing about her own appearance, even fantasies, and if she hadn't happened to uncover the mattress, I'm afraid she would never have discovered the secret.

Su Bei was a little panicked all of a sudden, recalling Zhou Man's meticulous attitude towards him, and there was no doubt that Zhou Man was secretly in love with him.

After hearing the sound of high heels in the corridor, Su Bei hurriedly put away the drawing paper, rewrapped it and hid it under the mattress, sorted out his emotions, and then opened the door with a sigh of relief.

Zhou Man's housewarming was very good, he was humming the theme song of a classic TV series, looked up and saw Subei, and said with a smile: "There is one last trip, cooking in my new home at night, I just went to the supermarket to buy a carp, according to the rules of my hometown, it is necessary to eat carp when moving into a new home." ”

"Don't be busy, or let's go back to the hotel to eat, anyway, the company has booked a table these days, and it doesn't cost money to eat a big meal." Su Bei smiled weakly.

"Haha, you can save money any day, but not today, you go downstairs and start the car first, I have returned the key to the landlord, pack the futon and leave here." ”
