The lotus-colored curtains were half-hidden, the lights were not turned on in the room, and a dark shadow hung down abruptly, covering the gloom of half the room.

Tan Houhua leaned on the sofa, his legs covered with a thin blanket of ancient lotus color.

Others hid in the shadow of the curtains, quietly looking out the window at the sycamore leaves dancing in the wind. The slightly frowning brow seemed to tell the unspeakable sorrow of his master, but there was a resolute light in his eyes.

The tartary buckwheat tea in his hand was already cold, and a cold breath came through the wall of the glass. Tan Houhua glanced down, the yellowish tea face reflected a serious face, and a trace of silver hair on his sideburns loomed.

I guess I read it wrong. Thinking so, Tan Houhua put the glass back on the coffee table, and raised his hand to pull the blanket on his leg.

Summer is coming, but the cold is so cold. A gust of wind blew, and Tan Houhua couldn't help coughing a few times. He hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief to avoid any more cold winds.

There was a soft knock on the door.

"Come in."

"Chairman!" Secretary Huang pushed the door in, nodded to Tan Houhua's back, turned around and closed the door, and then continued: "This quarter's report form has been sorted out, please take a look." With that, he handed a thick folder to the desk in the room.

"Hmm." Tan Houhua did not withdraw his gaze from the window, he still looked serious.

"In addition," Secretary Huang took a step forward, as if he was afraid that he would disturb the chairman's purity, and the volume was still very low, "I have already found out about the girl mentioned by Dr. Zhang last time." She is the new writer of "Flowering Period", with the pen name 'Yiye Shuang', and is one of the writers that Tan Tian is now in charge of. ”

Tan Houhua listened quietly and nodded slightly.

"But," Secretary Huang continued, "in the process of investigating the identity of this writer, I found a very strange thing-"

Tan Houhua turned his face slightly sideways when he heard this.

Secretary Huang hurriedly said: "Her real name is Luo Yiyi, and she graduated from the Art Department of Wenda University. However, her file only has records from the time she entered the university to the present, and the previous ten years were completely blank. ”

Tan Houhua frowned and said, "Go on." ”

"Her file seems to have been altered. All information about the family is hidden, and even the resume from the university period only records the academic performance, and does not involve personal aspects. ”

"What do you think?"

"I just wonder how she, a recent college graduate, has no connections and no power, how can she do such a complicated thing as modifying her archives? But if her file was just lost by accident, it would be too much of a coincidence, but no record was left at all. Otherwise, her background is very bad. ”

"How long has she known Tan Tian?"

"It's a contract signed with Tianyu in September, if they haven't met before, they should have known each other for more than seven months."

Tan Houhua pondered for a while, and then said, "Does Tan Tian still go to her residence often recently?" ”

"Yes, Luo Yiyi lives in a simple house and rarely goes out. Tan Tian is more like taking care of her, not to mention, her apartment is next to Tianyu Building. ”

"What about Tan Tian's situation?"

"It is reported that not long ago, because of a work by Yiye Shuang, Tan Tian had a dispute with the editor-in-chief Gao Ye. Editor-in-Chief Takano reported that "Editor Tan has become more and more motivated recently, not as passive as before, not only has the courage to give direct advice, but also learns to flexibly solve interpersonal problems." ”

"Yes." Tan Houhua seemed to be muttering to himself, and he turned his head to look out the window again, "Then let's do it first." What about the company? ”

Secretary Huang responded, opened another folder in his hand, looked up, and said: "Several veterans of the board of directors proposed to hold a high-level internal cocktail party next week, on the one hand, to celebrate the perfect sales in the spring, and on the other hand, to welcome several new senior leaders to join. He also said that he would like you to be able to attend. ”

"Got it, go get ready."

Secretary Huang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and stopped talking.

'Knock', 'knock'.

Two polite knocks sounded, and Secretary Huang knew that it was his wife who came to deliver medicine to the chairman, so he hurriedly turned around and opened the door.

Tan Houhua's wife, Lin Ling, was wearing a light gray shirt, and the sunset shone on her, reflecting a warm golden yellow. She held a delicate small plate in her hand, which contained a pair of small purple clay pots and cups, as well as a glass glass of water, and a glass saucer containing a few pills.

"Are you still talking about business?" Lin Ling asked with a smile.

"Oh, no," Secretary Huang hurriedly made a way, "We're done talking, please come in!" He turned his head to Tan Houhua and said, "Chairman, if there is nothing else, I will go back to the company first?" ”

Seeing Tan Houhua nodded, Secretary Huang nodded to Lin Ling, turned around and closed the door and left.

Seeing that there was still more than half a cup of tartary buckwheat tea left on the table, Lin Ling sighed unconsciously: "What are you thinking about one afternoon, look, the tea is cold again." ”

"It's time to take medicine again." Tan Houhua frowned, turned the sofa, watched Lin Ling put down the tray, and handed him the glass and pills.

"If you don't like to take medicine, don't blow the wind everywhere anymore." Lin Ling complained, got up to close the window, and opened the curtains.

The room lit up all of a sudden, Tan Houhua blinked slightly uncomfortably, swallowed the medicine with his back to the light, and drank the warm water in the glass in one go.

"Xiao Yu said that the United States is ready, and we can go over at any time." Lin Ling poured out a small cup of honey water from the purple clay pot and handed it to Tan Houhua, while taking the empty cup in his hand.

"I can't go yet." In fact, Tan Houhua doesn't like honey water, but he likes to see his wife use a purple clay pot.

Because every time Lin Ling poured honey water for Tan Houhua, he was as elegant as a lady in an oil painting.

"Why?" The lady raised her eyebrows and said, she was a little angry, "It's always delayed again and again, this time I have to hurry up no matter what!" ”

"Wait another week," it's so sweet, Tan Houhua couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I must go next Monday." ”

"Really?!"

"Really."

"Then I'll tell Sister Wu to hurry up and prepare!" Lin Ling was overjoyed, it was the first time that Tan Houhua had agreed to go to the United States for medical treatment so readily.

"Don't worry, before that, there is one more thing to do."

"What could be more important than going to the United States to see your doctor?!"

"Next week, the company will hold an internal high-level cocktail party, and we will attend." Tan Houhua said, and couldn't help coughing twice.

"Drinking party?! You're crazy, at a time like this-" Lin Ling doesn't understand, what else is more important than life?!

"Just because it's a time like this, cough cough cough," Tan Houhua simply covered his mouth with a handkerchief, "I have to attend." ”

Lin Ling wanted to refute, but he finally paused and tentatively suggested: "Otherwise, call Xiaotian-"

"No need, that kid never liked this kind of occasion, you know."
