"Hermann, I'm a step too late to keep you waiting." Michiko bowed to Xiao Huai, her voice soft.

She completely ignored Lin Li and recounted the content of the conversation: "The CEO of Postal Bank was more humorous than I expected, and offered to cooperate with us. ”

Xiao Huai responded: "I'll talk about work later, I want to introduce Lin Li to you." ”

Michiko glanced at Lin Li, a subtle expression on her face.

"Lin Li's elders and my elders are world friends, and she herself is an excellent emergency doctor, and the private hospital she works for is second to none in the industry." Xiao Huai paused when he said this, "But I don't look like a doctor." ”

"What does that look like?" Lin Li was curious.

Xiao Huai smiled and continued to introduce: "Michiko used to be a senior manager in the Mergers and Acquisitions Department of Chase Bank in Japan, and later gave up her position as an independent director of a listed company to serve as my personal assistant, and she is also my indispensable helper. ”

Lin Li just wanted to praise a few words, but Michiko changed the topic and said, "Hermann, let's go have a drink after the exhibition and talk about the next work arrangement?" The senior management of the head office urged us to draw up a draft acquisition before Christmas. ”

Xiao Huai did not reply immediately.

Michiko said coldly to Lin Li, "If Dr. Lin is free, he can also go along." ”

Lin Li excused himself with interest: "I will return to China in a few days, and I want to stay outside for a while and see the night view of Munich." I heard that there was a restaurant where the clams and seafood chowder were delicious, so I was going to try it. ”

Xiao Huai glanced at the thin dress and long skirt on her body, and stopped talking.

At this time, another financial person came to greet her, Lin Li politely backed down, Michiko turned to greet her, and the arched taiko knot behind the kimono pushed Lin Li, separating her from Xiao Huai.

Coincidentally, there were several German women with Yan Thin Ring Fat and all kinds of charms, all of whom gathered around Xiao Huai. With the addition of women, men's conversations are no longer limited to finance, but have become much more interesting, and the witty remarks are often amusing the ladies.

Lin Li looked at the time, and in half an hour, the exhibition was about to close.

She walked away silently and looked at the painting alone. The more I appreciate it, the more I feel that Simon's painting style is realistic, and the frozen emotions in the picture are also very infectious.

For example, the painting "Nude Woman Smoking a Pipe" in front of you. The woman's eyes are closed, and a young face is intoxicated by the smoke, revealing a series of complex and real feelings of pride, dissoluteness, sinking, and confusion.

Lin Li couldn't help but think of the few dynamic sketches Simon had drawn for her, if the woman smoking the pipe was herself, what kind of expression would her face show?

She shook her head and smiled, and walked into another room, where she saw the work Simon had mentioned: "Oak Trees in the Snow."

It was originally a tall and stout oak tree. The trees were covered with a thick layer of snow, and the trunks were overwhelmed and fractured in a V-shape.

The oak tree is the national tree of Germany and symbolizes the indomitable spirit and great glory. The oak tree in the painting emphasizes a deep sense of powerlessness and hints of imminent death, especially the sharp and sharp trunk fracture, revealing the meaning of cruelty and slaughter.

Whoever sees such a painting at first glance will feel uncomfortable.

"Honey, I've been looking for you for a long time." Simon's voice suddenly appeared behind him, with a smile, "You like this painting?" ”

Lin Li didn't say anything right away, her attention was still focused on the painting. Even if the oak tree breaks in two, it still struggles to stretch its branches in the winter sun. It is a symbol of life.

"The organizers said that this painting was the worst work I have ever made, deliberately rendering death, and there was no artistic charm at all." Simon put a smile away and said in a melancholy tone, "I thought you'd like it, but I didn't expect you to like it either." ”

Seeing that he was so disappointed, Lin Li said, "Don't be depressed, I like it." ”

Simon narrowed his eyes: "If you like it, buy it, only 20,000 euros." ”

Lin Li: "......"

"So, you give me a sincere hug, this painting doesn't take a penny, OK?"

Without waiting for Lin Li to answer, Simon smiled and spread his arms, making a gesture to hug. Instinctively, she ducked back, only to bump into a tall young woman.

Lin Li hurriedly apologized, looked up and saw the other party's appearance clearly, and his expression stiffened.

The woman stared at Lin Li, and was stunned.

"Why are you here? What are you doing in Germany? The woman spoke abruptly, with a domineering attitude.

Simon pulled Lin Li to his side: "Beauty, please control your voice, don't make noise." ”

Seeing that he was tall and handsome, the woman smiled coldly: "You are Lin Li's new boyfriend?" ”

Simon raised an eyebrow: "Uh-huh." ”

"I kindly remind you that a woman like Lin Li can sleep a few times, and marrying her is free. She is a murderer, and she does things like murder for money in minutes. ”

Simon was stunned, but at the same time, Lin Li was no longer silent: "Miss Ji, please stop the meaningless slander." ”

The woman retorted: "Isn't what I said the truth?" ”

Lin Li didn't want to have any more quarrels and turned to leave.

Simon caught up: "Honey, do you need to call the police?" ”

"No, I don't." She pursed her lips and spoke much faster than usual, "Excuse me, can you allow me to be alone for a while?" ”

Simon stopped his steps and looked at Lin Li's back.

Her voice was unusually tense, and she walked so fast that she never looked back at him, as if she couldn't wait to get out of here.

Simon was embarrassed to stop him, and sent a message to Xiao Huai on his mobile phone.

"Dear cousin, you are optimistic about Lin Li. After I finished the curtain call, we went back to the castle together. ”

*

When Xiao Huai received Simon's message, he was looking for Lin Li. Almost at the same moment, he received another WeChat message from her: "I have already said hello to Simon, go first." ”

There are only a few words, and the tone is extraordinarily indifferent.

He looked at it again, and at the end he sighed lightly, and did not reply to Lin Li, but only replied to Simon: "She has her own arrangements, and it is inconvenient for me to interfere." ”

After the exhibition, Xiao Huai and Michiko left the Municipal Museum together. Not long after the car drove out, Simon's phone chased after him: "Cousin, I didn't understand what you mean, what about Lin Li?" ”

At this time, Xiao Huai remembered that Lin Li only said that he would go to see the night scene, but did not say where he would go specifically.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask where she is." He hung up the phone, and almost at the same time a new WeChat message popped up.

Lin: "I forgot to bring a phone charger. Don't blame it in case it shuts down. ”

Xiao Huai immediately dialed over, but Lin Li's mobile phone had been turned off, so he had to call Simon's phone again.

Simon picked up the phone and said, "Cousin, will Lin Li not be able to think about it?" ”

At this time, the car had just arrived at the beer hall selected by Michiko, and Xiao Huai sat in the car without moving: "What do you mean?" ”

Simon recounted in detail the episode that took place at the center of the exhibition, and then asked, "Cousin, what do you think?" ”

There was eerily silence on the other end of the phone.

In the next second, Xiao Huai's deep voice sounded, and he said in an unobtrusive tone: "I'm turning back the way I came, you list the names of all the restaurants that deal in clam and seafood chowder, and tell me after sorting by distance." ”

"Huh?" Simon didn't understand why he suddenly said something to eat.

"I'll go find her."

Before the words fell, a short prompt tone was heard, and the phone was hung up.
