Chapter 0071: Mrs. L's Invitation
To be honest, it's really my fault, I don't deny it.
Fang Yao is indeed qualified to be angry with me and angry at me.
But I just didn't like her, especially when I thought about what happened to me with her last night.
I smiled nonchalantly, completely oblivious to her feelings.
"Are you a dog? Why is the nose so smart? ”
I said this quite viciously, and I regretted it a little bit after saying it.
But I was still angry, so I didn't care so much.
Fang Yao was obviously even more angry, she glared at me angrily, and her eyes seemed as if she wanted to rush up and bite me.
I glanced at her with my peripheral vision, and when I saw her face turned blue, I felt a glimmer of happiness rise in my heart.
Seeing that she didn't say anything for a long time, I continued to add fuel to the fire.
"Who told you to lend me the car? If you don't tell me clearly what you can't do in the car, then of course I'm so happy~"
I watched Fang Yao's chest rise and fall violently a few times, and then she glared at me angrily and said two words through gritted teeth.
"Scum!"
This kind of vocabulary can't do me any harm at all.
I didn't care at all, and responded directly with a hippie smile: "You care about me? ”
After that, I deliberately whistled twice, and then turned up the music louder and hummed to the rhythm.
I guess Fang Yao might have been about to be angry with me, so I turned my head and glanced at her.
She was still staring at me, her face was extremely cold, and her originally charming eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of frost.
I suddenly realized that this woman even looked angry and made my heart move.
I quickly scolded myself in my heart, and then I didn't care about her anymore.
Fang Yao was silent all the time, and she didn't know what she was thinking, maybe in her heart, I had been killed a hundred times, right?
After a while, she probably couldn't stand my disgust, so she reached out and turned down the volume of the music.
I laughed a little, followed by turning the music up louder, and deliberately louder than before.
I watched Fang Yao close my eyes and take a deep breath, as if I was forcibly suppressing the anger in my heart.
I thought it was interesting and continued to hum along to the music.
Fang Yao finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Can you stop humming?"
I pouted and said, "No one is forcing you, you can choose not to listen." ”
Fang Yao didn't speak, and directly shut down the player.
The carriage was instantly quieter.
I frowned and said with disdain, "Why are you so domineering?" I can't listen to songs, it's really boring. ”
"Are you finished?"
Fang Yao said coldly, his voice was not loud, but there was a chilling desperation.
I knew she was almost at her limit and I couldn't continue to be angry with her, so I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Then I won't speak, okay?" ”
Fang Yao was silent for a long time, and then said, "Shen Zhaoyang, let me tell you, I put up with you because you still have the value of being worthy of my endurance. But if one day you make me find out that you have lost this value, then I'm sorry, I won't spare you easily. ”
In the face of her red fruit threat, I didn't have much turmoil in my heart.
Even though she still has the handle on me, I know it. As long as I continue to create benefits for her, it won't have any real impact on me.
I nodded, pretended to be cowardly, and said, "Yes, I know." ”
Fang Yao didn't speak again for a long time, she kept looking out the window, her eyes were indifferent, as if she was thinking about something.
Every now and then I would look at her.
She was wearing a black tight-fitting hip skirt today, with black stockings and high heels, and she exuded a ripe femininity all over her body.
Although Fang Yao is a mean and unkind woman, and she always makes me feel very unhappy. But I still have to admit that she is really eye-catching and moving.
"This Saturday we're going to Rui/Leigh."
After a long time, Fang Yao spoke lightly.
Her mood seemed to be better, but her tone was still cold.
"When the time comes, Mr. Ye will join us over there, and he will also fund to gamble with us. You prepare well, this time we will play big. ”
I don't know why, but after hearing the news, I felt a little flustered inexplicably. However, I didn't show it, and I didn't say anything, I just nodded and told Fang Yao that I knew.
When I arrived downstairs at the company, I parked the car, returned the car key to Fang Yao, and went upstairs.
At this time, the colleagues in the company were basically in place, so no one found out that I was driving Fang Yao's car with her.
When I entered the office area, I simply said hello to Zhang Kexin and Wang Lipeng, and then started the day's work.
It may be that I have always remembered what Fang Yao told me in the morning, so I have always been a little absent-minded.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Zhang Kexin was called to the office by Fang Yao.
When she came back, she pressed the partition and whispered to me, and it was several times before I came back to my senses and looked at her.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Kexinnu's mouth seemed to be a little curious.
"What are you thinking? I think so fascinated. ”
I smiled awkwardly and replied casually, "No, it's just a simple daze." ”
"Really?"
Zhang Kexin squinted his eyes and looked at me, as if he wanted to find some clues from my demeanor.
I smiled and nodded, and said to her again, "Why am I lying to you?" ”
"Okay~"
Zhang Kexin didn't ask me again this time, she blinked her bright peach blossom eyes, leaned closer to me, and said, "Mr. Peng went to Manager Fang's office just now, guess I accidentally overheard something?" ”
I looked at her quirky appearance and thought it was very cute.
I didn't guess, and asked her directly: "What do you hear, hurry up and share it." ”
Zhang Kexin smiled and said, "I didn't hear it too clearly, but it seems that Mr. Liu from Jiahe was beaten, and then Mr. Peng asked Manager Fang what was going on." ”
My heart fluctuated slightly, but I still tried to pretend to be curious and asked, "What did the manager say?" ”
Zhang Kexin shook his head and said, "I only heard Manager Fang say that she didn't know, and I didn't hear what they said later." ”
Although I knew that Fang Yao would definitely not poke me out, after learning the news, I still felt quite delicate in my heart. I nodded, pretending to be indifferent, and said, "It's okay with us anyway." ”
Zhang Kexin agreed, but her gossip spirit was still a little heavier than mine.
"Why did you say that Mr. Liu was beaten? Could it be that he was beaten because he refused to cooperate with us? She chuckled quietly and continued, "Although I know it's unlikely, it still feels like a coincidence, you said that if he agreed to cooperate with our company, would he not have been beaten?" ”
This guy's imagination is quite rich, I smiled, and said casually: "Who knows, maybe someone knows that we worked very that plan, so they helped us do it for Tianxing." ”
"It's a roar~"
Zhang Kexin nodded vigorously, and seemed to agree with my point of view.
"By the way, Manager Fang called you over and assigned you some tasks?"
I asked her.
Her little face quickly collapsed, like a little bitter melon, and said, "She asked me to count the sales performance of each store in May, and then make a report and give it to her." ”
As soon as I heard it, I knew that Fang Yao was doing it on purpose, but I didn't want to say anything, so I could only sigh sympathetically: "It's so miserable." ”
"That's it!"
Zhang Kexin puffed up her cute little cheeks, and then looked at me with a pitiful look, and said, "Uncle, are you willing to help me?" ”
Of course, I couldn't refuse this kind of thing, so I said, "Okay, remember to invite me to dinner." ”
Zhang Kexin smiled happily and said, "No problem! ”
After that, because I had some work to deal with, I only helped her with a part of the statistics. I told her to wait until all the data was counted, and then I would teach her how to make the report.
We had lunch together at noon, and then in the afternoon we continued to repeat what happened in the morning.
In the evening, before the end of the day, the two of us finally counted all the data.
Originally, I thought about helping her get the report in one go, but Zhang Kexin said that he wanted to try it himself.
I said to her, "Okay, then you'll send it to me first." ”
She gestured to me ok and said, "Thank you for today, uncle." ”
I laughed a little and I said, "No thanks, I'm here to eat." ”
Zhang Kexin smiled very happily and said, "Don't worry, you can choose what you want to eat when the time comes." ”
I said, "I will." ”
When I got out of the company, I rode the battery bike home.
I didn't deliberately stay with Zhang Kexin to work overtime, mainly because I was worried that I would not be able to control my emotions if I stayed with her for too long. Although this choice makes me feel a little upset, it is also a way to do it. After all, I am not a person of the same world as her now, and I really shouldn't go to Gaopan.
When I was about to get home, my phone rang suddenly.
I thought Zhang Kexin was in trouble, so I parked on the side of the road on a battery car, and then took out my mobile phone to answer the call.
At this time, I suddenly realized that the person who called was not Zhang Kexin, but an unfamiliar number.
I subconsciously frowned, feeling a little strange in my heart.
Although it is very common to be harassed by strange phone calls in today's society, I don't know why, but I have a strong premonition.
It was as if there was a thread connecting me, and I didn't know who was on the other end of the thread.
I stared at the screen for a few seconds, then pressed the answer button and put the phone next to my ear.
Instead of speaking first, I chose to wait for the other person to speak first.
There was silence in the earpiece, and this silence lasted for a short while, and then a woman's voice came.
"Mr. Shen, do you remember me?"
This woman's voice is a very soft royal sister voice, which is very nice and recognizable.
I was slightly stunned, and instantly realized the identity of the other party.
I said, "Are you Mrs. L?" ”
Mrs. L seemed pleased with my answer, and she said, "It's me, are you free now?" Let's have a meal together. ”
She spoke in a very gentle tone, and she also had that intellectual feeling.
But for some reason, I always felt like she wasn't asking me questions, but sending me a message that she was going to have dinner with me tonight.
I was a little confused, and I didn't understand why she came to me for dinner so suddenly.
Thinking of what she said to He Yongqiang last time, I guess she may still want to ask me to help her gamble on stones.
If that's the case, then what should I do?
Actually, I'm quite curious about Mrs. L, but I don't know if this curiosity will kill me.
I thought for a moment, then said two words, "Where?" ”
A little over forty minutes later, I met Mrs. L at a fancy restaurant.
She is still so beautiful, holding a classical court bun and wearing a white backless dress, which invisibly exudes a noble lady's temperament exclusive to her.
The design of this skirt is very bold, with only a bow tie at the back of the neck on the bodice and a high slit at the hem. Two long, slender legs overlapped under the table, as if to guide me to spy on her secrets.
I didn't dare to look at her too much, so I pulled out a chair and sat down across from her.
She didn't choose a box, but a window seat.
In addition to her, the man in the suit was also there.
But he didn't sit down, just stood beside Mrs. L, and didn't speak.
There were many diners in the hall, and everyone seemed to be very good, and the voices of conversation were very quiet.
There is a small stage in the back of the center with a beautiful woman in a dress playing a piano.
The melody of the piano is very beautiful and beautiful, which gradually relaxes my tense nerves a lot.
I guess Mrs. L is just to let me not be too nervous, so I chose this position.
"Let's order first."
Mrs. L smiled and handed over the menu.
Actually, I didn't plan to order the food, but I just took one look and pushed the menu back full of English.
I said, "You can order it, I'll just eat it, that's not the main purpose of my here anyway." ”
Mrs. L smiled faintly.
"It seems that you are a very direct person."
I nodded and responded, "Well, I don't really like wasting time." ”
"Well, so am I."
Mrs. L picked up the menu and slowly flipped through it.
This woman is completely different from the women I have come into contact with before, even a simple action of looking at the menu has a natural elegance. I think this should be the kind of upper-class socialite in the real sense, really, it's not an exaggeration at all, her speech and demeanor are completely different from ordinary people, and she is particularly cultivated.
She ordered some foie gras, truffles, and caviar, steak or something.
Just by listening to the names of those dishes, I knew that this meal was going to cost a lot of money.
Although I have eaten all these things, the feeling that Mrs. L gave me was as if we were ordering soy milk fritters, which was very common, as if she was eating these things every day.
After the waiter left with the menu, Mrs. L picked up the wine glass and shook it gently.
"This is Lafite in '96, I personally think the taste is not bad, try it?"
To be honest, I'm not in the mood for wine tasting right now, but I nodded anyway and raised my glass to her.
"How?"
Mrs. L looked at me with a smile in her eyes.
I smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't know how to drink, but it feels good." ”
"That's fine, at least your instincts are correct."
Mrs. L put down her glass of wine and smiled softly at me.
"By the way, how much money did you get for that stone last time?"
I subconsciously frowned and didn't bother to answer the question.
Mrs. L seemed to anticipate my reaction, and she said calmly: "According to my understanding of He Yongqiang, you should only get back the 50,000 yuan principal, right?" ”
My brow furrowed even more.
Mrs. L continued: "I know that you owe He Yongqiang a lot of money, and you and he are not brothers at all, you are just helping him gamble to pay off his debts." ”
I felt a little irritated inexplicably, and I said, "Have you checked me?" What exactly are you trying to say? You can be direct. ”
Mrs. L was not at all surprised by my reaction, she still looked so calm.
"Mr. Shen."
She smiled and said to me, "I appreciate your abilities, so I want you to work with me." ”
It seems that she is exactly what I expected, and this is exactly what she wants.
Although I knew that her identity was not simple, and I knew that she must be very powerful, I still didn't dare to agree to her rashly.
I said, "You're exalting me too much, I'm not really capable." ”
Mrs. L smiled a little, and she said, "Modesty and lack of confidence are two concepts, which one are you?" ”
I shook my head and said, "I'm neither, I'm just telling the truth." ”
There seemed to be a flash of surprise in Mrs. L's eyes.
At this time, the dishes were served one after another, and she said to me, "Let's try the dishes first, and we will talk while eating." ”
I wasn't in the mood at all, so I ate a few bites casually and then stopped using my chopsticks.
Mrs. L picked up a tissue and wiped her mouth and asked me, "Not to your liking?" ”
I said, "No, it's just not in the mood." ”
Mrs. L nodded, as if she understood me.
"Then let's finish the topic first."
She said lightly, "The way to cooperate with me is very simple, you pay for the stones yourself, I will collect all the money you win or lose, and I only need the stones." ”
I looked at her with some confusion.
To be honest, I didn't expect her to offer such a condition, which is simply beneficial to me. I really wanted to say yes to her right away. It's just that I still have some concerns in my heart, and I said, "What about Brother Qiang?" Does he know that he won't trouble you? ”
I asked this on purpose, I want to know what kind of status He Yongqiang has in Mrs. L's heart. If she's really powerful, then maybe I can get rid of He Yongqiang through her.
"You don't seem to know me yet."
Mrs. L looked at me lightly.
"To put it simply, you don't have to think about it."
Her words made me feel a little more at ease, but it was only one side of her story, and I couldn't fully believe it.
I said, "What about me, will he let me go?" ”
Mrs. L replied lightly: "Isn't there a risk when you gamble on stones?" You just have to figure out how to win. ”
I understood what she meant, she was implying that as long as I wasn't discovered by He Yongqiang, there would be no problem.
But it's still a bit too risky for me, and I'll have to weigh it again.
So I said to her, "Let me think about it." ”
"Yes."
Mrs. L responded with a light smile: "I don't like to force others either, you think about it slowly." ”
Although her words were very plain and gentle, I still clearly felt a heavy pressure.
I grabbed my hair helplessly, and then I was about to say goodbye to her and leave here.
As a result, at this moment, I suddenly saw two familiar figures walking towards me.
