When the front desk called and said that a gentleman named Qiao Ren came to me, I was stunned for a few seconds, I didn't think who Qiao Ren was, and when I came to the living room in a daze, I saw eyebrows and eyes that were somewhat similar to Qiao Yi, and then I thought that this was Qiao Ren, Qiao Yi's brother.

"Qiao Shaoxian, come to me on business?" I brought him a bottle of water and handed it over, "Or is it a private matter?" ”

"My sister hasn't been home since she went to Xishan that day, and I haven't been able to contact her for the past few days, it's been three days. I've understood, and they all said that you talked to her that day, and I wanted to ask her if she said anything, like where to go. Qiao Ren was polite and said to me very gently.

"As we all know, Miss Qiao and I are not in harmony, the two of us have always been just getting by on face, since Fang Jianguo's accident, it has become incompatible, and she went to Xishan that day to smash the field. We opened a new store, I really can't afford to lose this person, so I invited her into a private room, delicious food, drink and hospitality, until our opening ceremony was completed Miss Qiao left, as for the specific place I don't know, Miss Qiao came in her own car. I looked at Qiao Ren, thought for a while, and said, "By the way, there is a surveillance at the entrance of our store, why don't you call it out and see which direction she is heading." ”

"I'm sorry for you." Qiao Ren said.

I really didn't expect him to say yes, and from the moment he said Joey, I assumed he was looking for trouble. However, now that he has to watch this kind of meaningless surveillance, I kind of believe in my heart that Joey hasn't been home for three days.

I asked He Liancheng for a leave, and then took Qiao Ren straight to Xishan.

The monitoring resolution at the door of the store is very high, and on the day of the opening, I sat in front of the computer with Qiao Ren and watched it for a while, and I clicked fast forward without Qiao Yi's content in the middle, and soon saw Qiao Yi driving away in a huff. Judging by the direction she left, she should have returned to the city.

Qiao Ren obviously understood it very clearly, and when the monitoring was over, he frowned slightly: "Thank you, Miss Cheng." ”

I smiled and sent him out.

In the parking lot, he took a deep breath and said to me: "My sister is willful, she must have caused a lot of trouble to Miss Cheng, I apologize to you on her behalf, if you know any news from her, please notify me in time." I'm sorry! He even bent down slightly at me.

Qiao Ren's performance finally convinced me that Qiao Yi ran away from home.

Watching his car drive out, I called Shen Mo to tell me about it, and at the same time reminded: "Do you think something will happen to Joey?" ”

"You're worried about her?" Shen Mo asked.

"It's not a worry, it's just that I'm afraid of pulling our store in." I'm a little apprehensive.

"It's okay, I see." Shen Mo paused and asked me, "What did you say just now?" ”

I was a little puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Cheng Zi, you said let." A smile appeared in Shen Mo's tone, "You're finally willing to put me in your camp?" Happy. ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone, leaving me alone with a confused expression. I shook my head and prepared to go to the store to check today's account, and then left, as soon as I entered the store, I saw my face in the glass reflection, the corners of my mouth were a rare smile, and my eyebrows and eyes softened a lot.

I was stunned, I really didn't expect that I would have such a little woman's posture.

When I rushed home, Shen Mo had already prepared a table of dishes, and he proudly said that he had cooked it himself. To be honest, compared with the chef in the store, Shen Mo's skills are average, but for some reason, the food he cooks has a kind of comfort that the chef can't imitate.

"Cheng Zi, open the meal." Shen Mo smiled and gave me a bowl of rice and handed it to me personally.

It seems that we have returned to the time when we first returned to China, getting along harmoniously, politely and politely, like brothers, like family, like friends.

I took the bowl and thanked him, and was ready to talk about Joey while eating, but before I could open my mouth, he said, "Eat well, talk about unhappy things during the meal and affect your appetite." You don't have to worry about Qiao Yi no matter what happens, no matter how strange Qiao Ren is, he can't blame you. ”

Under normal circumstances, he would talk to me about the day's events, big and small, but today was very different, just thoughtfully adding food and soup to me, and the warmth in his eyes was almost overflowing.

I was puzzled, but I didn't want to ask anything, after all, he had always been like this, but today he was a little too warm. You must know that Shen Mo is not the kind of man who is emotionally outgoing, under normal circumstances, if he says that I miss you, or that it is a great grace to that person to eat well.

"You're weird today." I finally couldn't help asking.

"What's weird?" He asked, his eyes still soft.

"I can't tell, it seems to have lost its edges and corners." I say.

"I've figured out something, just don't worry about it." Shen Mo didn't elaborate, I cleaned up the kitchen after dinner, and when I came out, I found that he had a bunch of things on the coffee table, all of which were documents and contracts, and even the house deed, and some mortgage certificates.

"What is this? Do you want to take stock of your property? I asked, getting ready to go into my room. Seeing the situation in front of him, Shen Mo moved out of the house.

"Come here." Shen Mo beckoned to me.

"What's wrong?" I was a little surprised, I didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"I also have a few stores abroad, and the operation is average, I calculated that in the past few years, it has basically been a flat over there, and the profit is not large, and it involves a lot of energy, and I am ready to go out for more than a month after a period of time, and deal with those stores, so you can help me keep an eye on the imperial capital." Shen Mo motioned for me to sit next to him.

I sat down, picked up a copy of the agreement and looked at it, which said "Sale Document for No. 23 Yard of Xian'er Hutong".

"What is this?" I asked, "Do you need to take these with you when you go out?" ”

"No, these are the properties I have in my hands, and I am going to sell a few eye-catching ones, lest someone will target you in the future and you can't solve it." Shen Mo looked at me with a smile in his eyes.

"Sell? I can't fix it? "I'm a little confused.

"You are my sister, and the dowry in the future is indispensable, so I am going to keep a few small ones for you, in case something happens in the future, there is a way out." Shen Mo received the pile of houses related to a folder, and finally there were only a few accounts for this month left on the table.

He stopped talking to me, looked carefully, and after waiting for about half an hour, he straightened everything out, then looked at me and said: "I'm going to go out to run errands in three days, and it may take a month to a month and a half outside, what about you take a good look at the store, Chen Chengshuo is someone I have used for several years, there will be no problem." Of course, if there is a problem, you have the right to replace him. Nameless residence is my old book, the club and tea house in Xishan are my favorites, you can help me take care of them, it doesn't matter if there are other shops, you can solve anything by yourself. ”

He closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them and smiled again: "Nothing else, your identification is in the drawer of my study." And ......," he thought, pausing for a moment before saying, "Also, if there is anything big you can't find me temporarily, go find Shen Qiu." Although he is not a material for doing business, he has no problem handling some things in the imperial capital. ”

"Shen Mo, don't talk about the aftermath, don't you just go out for more than a month." I think he may have been intimidated by the poisoning of the nameless house, and now he is a bit babbling about everything.

"I didn't get your call because I was afraid of jet lag, and you haven't stared at the store." Shen Mo smiled helplessly, "Opening a store is not as good as opening a company, there are too many aspects that need to be taken care of, you can learn slowly." ”

"Well, I'll call you if I can't get through, I'll call you every few hours." I looked at him, "Don't worry, there's nothing that has to be fixed right away." ”

"That's for the best." Shen Mo was still laughing.

I looked at the time and said, "Okay, I'm going to rest, I'm too tired, I'll talk about it tomorrow, don't you leave in three days, explain slowly." ”

He opened his mouth and said nothing, nodding my head and motioning for me to go back and rest.

As soon as I walked into the room, Hua Yuanshu's phone called, and he said, "Cheng Zi, I want to talk to you." ”

"What are you talking about?" My heart moved.

I was originally determined to win Hua Yuanshu, but not long after the nameless house poisoning incident, I didn't want to cause more trouble to Shen Mo, so I put him down, and I pushed him down several times when he asked me out. Perhaps, the species of men belongs to the regressive type of leading and not walking, I cold him, but he rushes up.

"Nameless has offended people." Hua Yuanshu said, "So now Shen Mo is a little too busy to take care of himself, if you care about him, come out to see me." ”

"Who have you offended?" I immediately became worried.

"Come out, I'll tell you." Hua Yuanshu said on the phone that there was no room for negotiation.

I thought of Shen Mo's performance just now, and suddenly understood what he meant by being weird these days, and he had to go out to dispose of the outside store, it must have happened to a big event. However, looking at the way he looked just now, it was obvious that he was not going to let me know.

"Okay." I answered.

When I opened the door and walked out, Shen Mo was still sitting in the living room, and the floor lamp cast his shadow on the wall, and suddenly there was an indescribable loneliness.

"You're going out?" He heard the door knock and looked back to see my intention to ask.

"Well, go out and have a friend appointment." I say.

"Who?" He asked.

"That, colleague." I mumbled.

"Come back early." He saw that I wasn't telling the truth, but he didn't ask, and he was very considerate to save face for me.

Huayuan tree is not far from the place, from Shen Mo's house out of the walk of ten minutes to a big lake, along both sides of the lake are recently opened cafes and bars, here is not as lively as Houhai, but the style is more than one gear, quiet night, three or two people, the lights and shadows at the door of those slightly flashing low-key luxury cars all show that this will be the new bar street in the imperial capital.

I walked and looked at the words on the door of the store, stopped at the bar called the dark grid, and as soon as I entered, I was surrounded by someone, and when I turned around, I saw Hua Yuanshu.

"Cheng Zi, I miss you." He looked at me steadily, his eyes flashing with a hot light, his lips so close to me that I could feel every breath he had, and my face turned red.
