Xia Nuan hurriedly stood up and said, "This is my guest." ”

Huo Beixiao's eyebrows stood and he wanted to attack, but because outsiders were present, he just glared at Xia Nuanxin fiercely.

Lin Jiao was still a little afraid of Huo Beixiao, and when she saw this, she hurriedly stood up and said goodbye to Xia Nuan: "I'm full, I'll see you another day." ”

After that, without waiting for Xia Nuanxin to answer, he hurriedly left the office.

Xia Nuanxin failed to keep him, and after the person left, he glared at Huo Beixiao fiercely: "What's the matter, I can't have a meal with my friends in the office now?" ”

Huo Beixiao looked at the closed door, his eyebrows thoughtful. But as soon as he turned around, his expression suddenly changed, and he said with a smile: "Okay, okay...... But...... If you give me food to someone else, where will I eat? ”

Xia Nuan was dumbfounded: "Didn't you go out to socialize with customers?" ”

Huo Beixiao waved his hand irritably, picked up the dishes and chopsticks that Xia Nuanxin had eaten, and didn't mind taking a pair of chopsticks and sending them to his mouth: "Talking about business with those bigwigs with oily hair and noodles, where can I eat?" ”

Xia Nuanxin silently took a pair of clean dishes and chopsticks from the side, and was about to eat some more food, Huo Beixiao suddenly raised his head, stared at Xia Nuanxin with a serious expression, and said, "Don't get too close to Lin Jiao." ”

Xia Nuan was stunned, bit her lip and didn't speak.

She knew what Huo Beixiao meant. If she were five years ago, she might have to argue for Lin Jiao immediately without thinking about it.

But in the past five years, even in a relatively peaceful pasture, she has seen a lot of intrigues for power and profit, not to mention the turbulent real estate industry.

At this time, in the pantry, Lin Jiao looked at no one on the left and right, and hurriedly closed the door of the pantry.

"How?" Huo Jingchen Shi Ran stood by the bar with a cup of coffee.

Lin Jiao took a few steps forward and said softly, "I don't dare to ask too obviously." But Xia Nuanxin said that the signing is today, the construction will start the day after tomorrow, and the delivery will be ...... It should be tomorrow. ”

"Tomorrow?" Huo Jingchen raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, "...... tomorrow" The corners of his mouth gradually showed a smile.

"But...... What do you ask me to ask this for? Lin Jiao asked.

Huo Jingchen smiled: "It's nothing, just ask." After all, I am also a member of the Huo family, so it is understandable to know the progress of the project. ”

The corners of Lin Jiao's mouth hooked, and she smiled: "Brother Huo, do you still treat me as an outsider?" Or when I'm Xia Nuanxin, the pure girl who doesn't know the world? If you're still hiding it like that, don't come to me next time. ”

Without saying a word, Huo Jingchen strode forward and put Lin Jiao on the bar.

Lin Jiao didn't struggle, and looked straight into Huo Jingchen's eyes.

She has seen a lot of this kind of powerful and ambitious people, and the softer you are, the more people don't look at you. Lin Yao let her come into contact with a variety of people, and Lin Jiao gradually figured out different ways to deal with people with different personalities.

Huo Jingchen looked at Lin Jiaorou's weak little girl, who was blocked in this pantry by a big man like him, and he was not afraid at all, and a trace of appreciation suddenly rose in his heart: "Why should I trust you?" ”

Lin Jiao raised her slender chin high, put her head slightly to Huo Jingchen's ear, and whispered: "Just because I hate Xia Nuanxin, I don't want her to have a good time." The reason for this...... Is it enough? ”

Huo Jingchen's rough eyebrows moved, and there was suddenly a trace of ill will in his eyes, his palm was clasped around Lin Jiao's slender waist, gradually tightened, and his tone was full of threats: "Sure enough...... The war between women is the most terrible. ”

After getting off work that evening, Huo Jingchen hurried to a park to make an appointment with someone, and the person who went to the appointment was Sun Qiang, who he had seen in the Blue Mountains Cafe that day.

Sun Qiang put his hands in his pockets, sat on the park bench and shivered, saw Huo Jingchen's car stopped, and hurriedly trotted two steps forward and said, "Huo Dashao." ”

Huo Jingchen didn't even get out of the car, just sat in the cab, and looked at the rearview mirror from time to time with a shrewd gaze.

"I heard you know a lot of people in the timber business?"

Sun Qiang immediately said loudly: "Of course, otherwise how dare I play that package ticket with you?" You just ask the whole province for that price, and you can't get it. ”

"I didn't mean this...... Huo Beixiao said in a deep voice, "There is something I need you to do." ”

Sun Qiang's expression immediately became solemn, and he nodded hurriedly.

That night, Xia Nuanxin greeted Xia Luocheng after dinner, and the two were sitting in the living room watching TV.

The weather forecast says that from tonight to tomorrow, there will be heavy to extremely heavy rain, accompanied by strong winds of 9 to 10, so residents should pay attention to travel safety.

Xia Luocheng asked Xia Nuanxin while eating cantaloupe: "Mom, can I not go to kindergarten tomorrow when the rain is so heavy?" ”

Xia Nuan didn't squint: "No, you took Uncle Liu's car to go, and I couldn't get you." ”

The little thought was broken by Xia Nuanxin's words, and Xia Luocheng hung his head in frustration.

At this time, the bright light outside flashed, and then, a burst of thunder that covered the sky and the sun smashed down, which frightened Xia Nuan's heart.

"It's going to rain......"

"Mom, did Uncle Huo bring an umbrella?" Charlotte asked immediately.

"How. Do you want to send him an umbrella? ”

Xia Luocheng looked at Xia Nuanxin with burning eyes: "Is it okay?" ”

"Silly boy, your Uncle Huo has a car. Rest assured. ”

At the same time, in a warehouse where the lumber mill is stacked, the staff on duty are taking corresponding measures against the rain.

Because the warehouse was too small, and the volume of goods was too large this time, a lot of timber could not be stacked in the warehouse, so it could only be placed on the terrace in front of the warehouse.

The staff could only cover as many tarps as possible.

A middle-aged man in his forties and fifties held an unlit cigarette in his mouth and greeted his colleagues who were busy not far away: "Xiaolin, who is on duty today?" ”

The colleague named Xiaolin replied from Yaoyao: "It seems to be Zhang Liang." He and Li Ming fell out of class yesterday. ”

"Oh......" the middle-aged man whispered, and he waited where he was for a moment, then suddenly turned and walked towards the outside of the factory.

He walked around the street not far away, and when he came back, he carried a few catties of liquor and five catties of pig's head meat.

Kobayashi, who had greeted him before, had already returned home from work, and the wood on the terrace had been firmly tied together by him, and if it weren't for the typhoon, no matter how heavy the rain was, it wouldn't get wet.

The man looked around, and almost everyone else was off work, except for the light in the duty room. He walked slowly forward, walked around the bundled wood, and then took advantage of the darkness to untie the hook. In this way, as long as the wind is together, all these rainproof cloths will be blown away,

After doing all this, the man checked his surroundings again, and found that no one was paying attention, so he carried wine and meat into the duty room.

In the duty room, there was a middle-aged man in his thirties, who was staring at the TV watching a ball game at the moment.

"It's going to rain in a while, I'm going to go back first, and I'm going to bring food to my daughter. I just bought this by the way, you can keep it and eat it. ”

The man on duty thanked him a thousand times, and while gnawing on the pig's head meat, he watched the ball game with a little wine, not to mention how beautiful it was.

The man looked at it, his face showed a moment of unbearability, and finally as if he thought of something, he gritted his teeth, turned around and went to the warehouse again.

The lights in the warehouse had been turned off, the lights were dark, and all the windows were plugged in. With a flashlight, the man crept under the largest window in the west and secretly pulled up the pin.

After doing all this, he left the warehouse with his hands behind his back and unnoticed.

It was night, lightning and thunder, strong winds, and heavy rain.

Huo Beixiao worked overtime until late at night, and when he drove home, he got out of the car in the yard and went to such a small place at the door, and he was drenched.

Sister-in-law Lin hurriedly stepped forward to get him a clean towel, and Huo Beixiao asked casually, "What about Mrs.?" ”

Sister-in-law Lin pointed upstairs.

Huo Beixiao nodded, thinking that Xia Nuanxin had gone upstairs to rest, and a trace of loneliness passed on his face.

Isn't she worried about him at all?

When he finished washing up and went up to the second floor, and when he turned to the door of the study to send an email overnight, he found that there was a little light in the study.

Huo Beixiao was overjoyed in his heart, and lightly pushed open the door of the study.

I saw that under the dim light, Xia Nuanxin hugged a tablet, covered with an off-white blanket, and fell asleep on the sofa.

At this time, Sister-in-law Lin came up with a supper, looked behind Huo Beixiao and said, "Mrs. asked me to cook wine, and said that I wouldn't tell Mr. ”

Huo Beixiao couldn't cry or laugh, Xia Nuanxin's awkward personality may not be changed.

He didn't wake Xia Nuanxin, and gently carried her back to the bedroom.

And he himself worked overtime in the study until late at night, and finally fell asleep on the sofa with the slight smell of summer warmth.

The next day, Xia Nuanxin fell asleep in a daze, and a noisy bell suddenly sounded in her ears.

She impatiently touched her phone and saw that it was only half past six, who was it so early...... Before she could complain, her fingers had already subconsciously slid on the screen, and the phone was connected.

"Hello?"

On the phone, Qiu Yating's tone was anxious: "Warm-hearted, no, Boss Li from the timber mill called me in the morning and said that the timber ready for today's delivery was drenched in heavy rain!" ”

Timber? Heavy rain? A few words swirled in Xia Nuan's misty mind, and it took a while to become a word that could be recognized by the brain and passed into the nerve center.

Xia Nuanxin sat up from the bed in a hurry, shocked: "What did you say!" ”

After being stuffed by Qiu Yating's news, Xia Nuan's groggy sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and she subconsciously turned her head to look......

Huo Beixiao was not in bed.

When I reached out again, my tentacles were cold.

Not daring to delay any longer, Xia Nuanxin immediately turned over and got out of bed.

By the time she rushed to the company, Qiu Yating was already going crazy, talking to Li Jianmin, the owner of building materials, and the tone of the two was not very good.

"This goods are about to be delivered, Boss Li, it will rain last night and today, don't you all know? Even if you put the wood outside, why is it that the inside of the warehouse is all wet? Qiu Yating asked with an ugly face.

Boss Li's face was not good, and he shook his head again and again: "Yesterday, the staff had obviously taken rainproof measures, and I don't know what's going on!" They had never made such a superficial mistake before! ”
