Chapter 15
The location of the dinner notified by the manager is not far from the company, just by the river. Mu Hanxia has never been there, and I heard that it is a very high-end club.
In the evening, Mu Hanxia arrived. The riverbank is lit up, and the branches of the trees in the courtyard of the club are winding, elegant and silent.
Mu Hanxia thought that he was the first to arrive, and gently pushed open the door of the private room. Unexpectedly, there was already a person sitting inside.
Meng Gang was sitting by the window, smoking. He is wearing a white polo shirt and black trousers today, and his silhouette is simple and tough. He looked at her, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Mu Hanxia's heart jumped, but he smiled on his face: "Mr. Meng is good." β
"Hmm."
Mu Hanxia found a chair and sat down. The room was a little quiet, Meng Gang was smoking silently, and Mu Hanxia was looking at his nose and nose.
"How's your work going?" He asked.
"It's good." Mu Hanxia smiled lightly, "The work is going well, I have read a lot of materials and learned a lot of things." β
"That's good."
It was quiet again.
After a while, Mu Hanxia asked, "Has Mr. Meng been resting well lately?" How's the body? β
"It's fine. I am not a man who will affect my work and life because of my personal feelings. β
Mu Hanxia didn't dare to answer, bowed his head and pretended to be stupid.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door and came in, it was Meng Gang's assistant Xiao Chen. He glanced at the two silent people in the room, smiled unchanged and said, "Mr. Meng, the guests will be here soon." β
ββ
Meng Gang's banquet today was a group of people from the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce. He and the deputy director sat at the top, and the others accompanied them, with Mu Hanxia and Xiao Chen at the bottom, adding tea and pouring wine. During the greetings, Meng Gang only briefly mentioned: "This is the cold summer of our marketing department." Immediately, someone quipped: "Oh, Mr. Meng's subordinates are full of talents, and they bring beautiful girls out every time." β
Everyone laughed, and Meng Gang also had a faint smile in his eyes, and said: "Nonsense, I have followed a Xiao Chen by my side all these years, when did I bring a girl to drink with you?" In the cold summer, pour him first and punish him with three glasses of wine. β
"Hey." Mu Hanxia also smiled and went over to pour wine.
The staggered selection of the guests and the host are happy.
It was the first time Mu Hanxia had come to this kind of occasion, she didn't dare to say much, and she was not the kind of girl who took the opportunity to come. But it's well-behaved and sweet enough, so it's quite harmonious. However, soon someone asked her for a drink.
"Beauty, Mr. Meng brought you here today, why do you have to drink one with us?"
"yes." Others heckled.
Mu Hanxia had never drunk white, so he hurriedly smiled and looked at Meng Gang.
Meng Gang had already drunk a lot, lit a cigarette, and leaned back in his chair. His face was slightly red, and his eyes were heavy and bright.
"You just have a drink and show your heart."
"Okay, Mr. Meng." Mu Hanxia picked up a glass of wine and someone.
"Yo, listen to Mr. Meng like this?" Someone laughed.
Mu Hanxia's heart trembled slightly, and he replied with a smile: "Of course you have to listen to the leader." β
Meng Gang smiled lightly as usual.
After Mu Hanxia sat down, he only felt that his throat and stomach were hot, and his head seemed to be a little dizzy.
I'm sure I'm going to make the other party drink hard today. During this period, Meng Gang went to the bathroom and vomited twice. Once, it was Mu Hanxia who helped him go. When the door was closed, he lay down in front of the sink, spitting silently. It was the first time Mu Hanxia had seen him like this, and he was silent for a few seconds, then stepped forward and patted him on the back.
He didn't move, letting her pat him. The back is wide and stiff.
After a while, he turned on the faucet, washed his face, rinsed his mouth again, and looked up at her.
Mu Hanxia put down his hand.
The lights in the bathroom were a little dim, his eyes were bloodshot, and his body was full of alcohol.
Suddenly, he grabbed her hand.
Mu Hanxia's whole person tensed, and he lowered his voice: "Mr. Meng......"
He didn't do anything, just stared at her, his gaze pressing.
Mu Hanxia lowered his head.
After a while, he let go of his hand: "Let's go in." β
"Hmm."
He pushed the door open, and the crowd was full, drunk.
ββ
The banquet ended at 10 p.m. Meng Gang had already drunk too much, leaning on the sofa in the private room, unconscious. Mu Hanxia accompanied Xiao Chen and sent the guests downstairs.
Xiao Chen said: "You go up first, take care of Mr. Meng, and I'll go get the car." β
Mu Hanxia hesitated, but Xiao Chen was resolute: "Go quickly, don't let anything happen to the leader." β
Mu Hanxia had to go upstairs.
The night was dark, and the cups and plates in the room had been removed. The windows were open, and the river breeze blew the smell of tobacco and alcohol in the room.
Meng Gang closed his eyes, put his hand on his forehead, and remained motionless. Mu Hanxia stood far away from him.
"Mu Hanxia?" He muttered, his voice hoarse.
"Hey, it's me." Mu Hanxia walked over and poured him a cup of hot water, "Mr. Meng, you can drink some hot water." β
Meng Gang didn't answer. Mu Hanxia put down the water, and just wanted to leave, but suddenly his waist was grabbed and he fell on his lap.
Mu Hanxia's whole body trembled slightly, and his heart beat faster. His hands were clenched tightly and he held her in his arms, their faces close together and their breaths mingling.
"Wood Summer...... Look at me. β
Mu Hanxia's temples jumped suddenly, trying to push him away. But this time he was so ruthless that she couldn't break free at all.
"Mr. Meng, you let me go......" she said in a low voice.
Suddenly, Meng Gang's lips had pressed up.
Mu Hanxia's whole body was cold, but his face and hands were hot. The man's lips were thick and warm, and there was a faint smell of tobacco and alcohol. She gritted her teeth, but he sucked skillfully, raising his hand to hold her chin. Mu Hanxia's teeth opened slightly, and his tongue reached in and kissed hard.
Mu Hanxia pushed desperately, but he couldn't push it away, but he was pressed on the sofa and easily clasped his hands.
After kissing her on the mouth for a while, he buried his face and kissed her face and ears.
"How big is your heart, a helpless little girl?" He whispered, "Won't follow me?" β
Mu Hanxia's tears burst out of his eyes.
"Meng Gang, let go!" She roared.
Meng Gang pressed her mouth. He was really drunk, and his eyes were dark.
"Still? Believe it or not, I'm here to do you today? β
There was a momentary blank in Mu Hanxia's mind, some kind of strange fear, like a cold tide that had not covered his body. Seeing that she was no longer struggling, Meng Gang lowered his head and kissed more wantonly.
Mu Hanxia's fingertips trembled slightly, and as soon as he lowered his head suddenly, he bit his arm. This bite was extremely hard, and Mu Hanxia's teeth were full of blood. Meng Gang let out a painful cry and let go of her hand, but it was still pressed against her. The blood in Mu Hanxia's whole body seemed to rush into her brain, she knew that her strength was no match for him, and she quickly grabbed the glass ashtray on the coffee table and smashed it on his chest with all her might.
At this time, Meng Gang was really injured, snorted, and leaned on the sofa with his chest covered. Mu Hanxia got up all of a sudden and ran to the door desperately.
"Stop!" Meng Gang's suppressed roar came from behind him.
Mu Hanxia was willing, opened the door, and escaped.
Outside the door, the courtyard is deep and the lights are still there. Someone was standing at the door of a private room not far away and making a phone call. Everything was calm.
Mu Hanxia's tears were still silently hanging on his face, in a trance, and his heart burned.
She walked out with a hurried pace, but she bumped into the person on the phone.
"What are you doing?" A familiar cool voice.
Mu Hanxia raised his head and saw Lin Mochen.
Under the corridor lamp, he was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and his face was handsome. There is also a faint smell of alcohol on his body, and he is obviously here to socialize.
Mu Hanxia's tears suddenly burst out again, but she held back and whispered, "It's okay." He wanted to leave when he bypassed, but at this time, Meng Gang's voice came from inside the door behind him: "Mu Hanxia!" β
Mu Hanxia's whole body stiffened slightly, and he walked away. Lin Mochen looked at her and grabbed her arm: "Is Meng Gang inside?" β
Mu Hanxia's face was stubborn, and he raised his hand to wipe away his tears: "I'm fine." β
Lin Mochen looked at her for a few seconds, then suddenly took off his suit jacket and draped it on her: "I'll send you out." β
Mu Hanxia was stunned.
The suit also carried his body temperature, enveloping her, and also separating the cold air of the night. His hand rested on her shoulder, and instead of letting go, he gently put his arm around her and walked out.
Mu Hanxia's tears fell all of a sudden, and he lowered his head.
ββ
"I'm going a little bit beforehand, and you guys will continue to accompany you. That's it. Lin Mochen hung up the phone and raised his eyes to look in the rearview mirror.
Mu Hanxia in the back row was about to shrink into a ball, wrapped in his suit, leaned on the corner of the car seat, and whispered, "Thank you, Lin Mochen." β
Lin Mochen didn't speak and started the car.
The car got on the viaduct, and the city was full of lights. Lin Mochen opened the car window, and a gentle wind blew in. Mu Hanxia sat up straight and quietly looked out the window.
"Do you want to call the police?" He asked.
Mu Hanxia was silent for a while, and replied, "No." β
After a while, she added, "He didn't succeed." β
"You're not a stupid woman, why don't you know to protect yourself?" He said.
"It's me who was naΓ―ve." Mu Hanxia replied, "How can there be so much good luck in the world." I'll protect myself in the future, don't talk about it. β
He glanced at her, and along the way, he really didn't speak again.
ββ
Lin Mochen didn't expect Mu Hanxia to live in such a place. He knew that she was not wealthy, but thought that at least she was from a good family.
Ruins, dirt roads, weeds, dirty and old like buildings about to rot. There are no street lights, and there are no human figures in sight.
There is still some distance from the building where Mu Hanxia lives, but the road is very narrow and uneven. Mu Hanxia said: "I'll get off here, it's not easy for you to drive in front." β
Lin Mochen glanced at the road ahead of the black hole and said, "How to go ahead?" Continue straight ahead? β
Mu Hanxia had to answer: "Yes." β
The road was bumpy, the headlights swayed, and I drove downstairs.
Lin Mochen parked the car, his hands still on the steering wheel, and looked at her from the rearview mirror. Mu Hanxia took off his suit, smiled and said, "Thank you." Then I'...... went up. β
"Hmm."
When she walked into the building, Lin Mochen raised his head and saw that some of the floor lights were on, and some were not. And the sound of her footsteps was so clear in the slum in the dead of night that she stopped at the top floor, and he heard her pull out the key to open the door, and finally closed the door.
Lin Mochen watched the lights of her house turn on and slowly reversed and left.
