Chapter 144: Is My Character That Bad?
What's going on?
Lawyer Ding's reaction was too great, which not only made Liu Qingli scratch her head, but even Qu Cenxue's other colleagues were confused.
"Come, let me introduce you, this is me...... No, it's the nobles of our entire law firm. ”
Seeing this, Lawyer Ding hurriedly explained: "Do you remember, last year, I took on a case with a remuneration of 1.5 million, and Mr. Shen was not only the introducer, but also provided key evidence for the case. ”
When everyone heard this, they all got up and greeted warmly: "Mr. Shen, come in and sit!" ”
"It turns out that you are Mr. Shen, you are really young and promising!"
"Mr. Shen, I'm ......"
Several people rushed to introduce themselves, as if they had seen an idol, and their faces were fanatical, which made the beautiful rich woman look a little stunned.
"I said you, have you forgotten who is the protagonist today?"
Qu Cen Xue feigned anger, she couldn't be more familiar with Shen Duan, and she didn't need to be as polite as others.
"Hot girl, you're really not polite at all."
Shen Du responded enthusiastically to everyone while expressing his dissatisfaction to Qu Cen Xue.
"How did you become their nobleman?" Liu Qingli stepped forward, and before she could sit down, she couldn't wait to ask.
"I'll talk about it."
Although Qu Cengxue did not personally participate in that case, she had already learned all the details from Lawyer Ding, and gave a detailed explanation for the beautiful rich woman.
Liu Qingli listened very carefully, and she had the feeling of listening to suspenseful stories, but she quickly turned her curiosity into emotion, and her heart was occupied by sweetness and warmth.
With her wisdom, of course, she understands that this case is the key to Shen Du's friendship with Qi Hao, in the final analysis, it is all to help her snatch control of the Liuli Group.
"Cen Xue, who is this one?"
Several lawyer colleagues in the firm had already noticed Liu Qingli, and when she sat down, they hurriedly asked. Especially several male colleagues, their eyes were already a little straight, and they were all surprised by her super good looks.
"She's my classmate!"
Qu Cen Xue thought about it, and did not introduce that Liu Qingli was the president of Liuli Group, that kind of identity is too high, if you really want to say it directly, it will make everyone feel a sense of distance.
"Wait, this big beauty has another and more important identity."
Shen Du interjected, and after attracting everyone's attention, he said as if declaring sovereignty: "She is my wife!" ”
Huo, I've been doing it for a long time.
Sure enough, a flash of disappointment flashed in the eyes of several men at the table, and they immediately disappeared, and sighed: "It turned out to be Mrs. Shen!" ”
They are all convinced, and only an excellent man like Mr. Shen is worthy of such a peerless beauty, and there are even people who make up a lot of plots, such as [The Story of the Domineering President's Favorite Wife], [Urban Beauty and Her Prince Charming] and so on.
The birthday party of this year is still very normal, and there is no messy program of young people in later generations.
Even Shen Duan, a middle-aged soul, enjoyed this feeling very much, watching everyone get together and talk about life and their dreams, it was easy to fit in.
“happy birthday to you…… Happy birthday to you......"
At eight o'clock in the evening, everyone lit the candles together, the birthday song was sung, Qu Cen Xue wore a birthday hat on her head, and in the blessing song, under the reflection of the candlelight, the candle was blown out.
"Cen Xue, happy birthday!"
At the same time as the applause, everyone gave birthday gifts in turn.
Among the dozen or so people in the box, Shen Duan was the only one who did not prepare gifts, but he did not feel embarrassed at all, and watched with great interest as everyone took out various items.
What Liu Qingli sent was a crystal necklace worth more than 100,000 yuan, and she has always been generous, not to mention the friendship between her and Qu Cen Xue, it is not too much to give anything.
Fortunately, the lights in the box were dim, and a group of lawyers did not find the true value of the necklace, avoiding trouble and embarrassment.
"Yo, isn't this thing all sent between lovers, you look like this, it's easy to misunderstand."
Shen Du pretended to be gossipy, his eyes looked at the necklace, but what he thought in his heart was: I don't seem to have given anything valuable to a beautiful rich woman.
But what should I give?
Liu Qingli doesn't seem to lack anything, even if she gives her millions worth of jewelry, it's nothing new.
"What do you see, your gift?"
Qu Cen Xue was worried that he had no chance to blackmail him, and he didn't expect this guy to send it to the door by himself.
Shen Dui secretly scolded himself for being stupid, why should he still move forward at this time, he should have quietly hid in a corner and ate cake. Even Liu Qingli was anxious for him, of course she knew that Shen Du was not prepared.
However, this small scene obviously did not bother him.
Shen Dui's face was serious: "My gift is quite special, I can't bring it here." ”
Qu Cen Xue didn't believe his nonsense: "Even if you can't bring it, you can always tell me what the gift is first, right?" ”
"That's a reasonable request!"
Shen Du bowed slightly: "I have long planned to introduce you to a boyfriend, but unfortunately the other party is on a business trip today and can't come to the scene, don't worry, I will arrange a time for you to meet when I go back." ”
The crowd did not suspect him, and immediately began to coax.
What is surprising is that after hearing Shen Duan's statement, Qu Cen Xue's reaction was a little strange.
Half an hour later, the birthday banquet ended, everyone said goodbye to the birthday star one after another, and when it was Liu Qingli's turn, they were grabbed by Qu Cen Xue and drove Shen Du away, and they wanted to whisper.
"What did the hot girl tell you to make so mysterious?"
On the way home, Shen Du turned his head and asked the beautiful rich woman sitting in the passenger seat.
Liu Qingli frowned slightly, obviously thinking about something, and then spoke: "Cen Xue told me that the family has been urging marriage in the past two years. ”
Shen Du nodded: "What else?" ”
Even if the beautiful and rich woman doesn't say it, he can think that a twenty-six or seven-year-old woman, it's strange that the elders don't urge marriage, if it is placed in the countryside, maybe the baby is in elementary school.
But if it's just this little thing, Qu Cen Xue doesn't need to avoid him, she has to tell her best friend secretly.
"Cen Xue and her mother introduced her to a partner, the person is in the magic capital, it is said that the conditions are not bad, and the two have not met yet."
Now that she has spoken, Liu Qingli no longer hides it: "Cen Xue doesn't know whether to go or not, she asked my opinion." ”
Shen Du suddenly realized, no wonder he said that when he introduced his boyfriend to the hot girl, the latter's expression was extremely unnatural.
"How did you answer her?"
"I've never experienced this kind of thing, so how can I give her any advice, I let her make her own decisions."
"yes, you're sure you haven't experienced anything like this?"
"Of course not!"
"And how did we meet?"
"You...... You still say? ”
"Hahaha!"
……
The next day, it began to rain lightly in the sky, and the season was pretty good, but the gloomy weather was the worst when it was the rainy season.
Not long after Shen Duan arrived at the company, he received a call from Qi Hao.
"What has Brother Twilight been up to lately?"
"Nothing particularly busy, old as usual."
"My dad said he hadn't seen you for a long time, so let me invite you to the house for dinner."
"When?"
"Tonight!"
"No problem."
"By the way, you can bring your sister-in-law with you!"
Hanging up the phone, Shen Du thought for a moment, he felt that Qi Mingzhi must have something to do with him, it was not as simple as not seeing him for a long time, but he couldn't think of the result after thinking about it for a long time, so he simply didn't think about it anymore, and he would naturally know after meeting.
Shang Jing was already busy with the first round of financing of Dusk Su.com, but Shen Du didn't bother and convened a small meeting with the leaders of various departments.
The content of the meeting was simple: to prepare for the third overseas branch quickly.
As for the location of the branch, it was chosen a long time ago - Paris, Europe.
Paris is known as the capital of fashion, art and romance, and its geographical location is in the middle of several developed countries, and it receives a large number of tourists from all over the world every day.
If you have only one branch in Europe, Paris is the first choice.
Westerners pay attention to petty bourgeoisie, and they are more curious than domestic people, and after the homestay over there is built, it is likely to be more popular than hotels.
Therefore, both Shen Du and the managers of various departments are full of confidence in the overseas branches, and as soon as the boss's order is delivered, they are ready with great anticipation.
At noon, the sky cleared.
"Mr. Ji, haven't you rested so late?"
Shen Du was eating lunch when he received a call from Ji Man, at this point in time, it should still be midnight over there.
"I'm so tired when I'm done!"
Ji Man's voice revealed a trace of exhaustion, but it also contained a sense of relief: "Mr. Shen, the New York branch has stabilized, and I will be able to return to China next month." ”
"Mr. Ji has worked hard!"
Shen Du said with some embarrassment: "You may not be able to return to China in the short term, the company has arranged for you to go to Paris next month, and the branch over there needs you to take charge." ”
"I ......"
Ji Man was obviously stunned: "Mr. Shen, can you open the Paris branch a little later, can you let me take a breath?" ”
Shen Du hurriedly enlightened: "Mr. Ji, you also know that we are preparing for the first round of financing, so the opening of the Paris branch cannot be delayed.
"Don't worry, when you're done with this matter, you'll be able to take a good vacation!"
Hearing this, Ji Man was silent for a while before he spoke: "I don't expect to take a vacation, I'm worried that after the Paris branch is busy, you will let me go to the London branch and the Berlin ......branch."
Shen Du smiled dumbly: "When did my impression in your mind become Zhou Papi?"
"Don't think about it, there are no more plans for the time being, just a Paris branch; Even if there were, I'd arrange for the marketing manager to come over, so it's always okay, right? ”
Ji Man breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Shen, you have to do what you say!" ”
After the call, Shen Du looked suspicious: Is my character really so bad, even the vice president who works hard with me doesn't believe me?
Finally it was time to get off work, and Shen Duan received the beautiful rich woman on time.
Liu Qingli was carrying a gift bag containing high-end cosmetics, which were products of Liuli Group, and she heard that she was going to Qi Mingzhi's house tonight, so she made preparations early.
"How did you think of going to Uncle Qi's house today?"
After getting into the car, Liu Qingli put the makeup in the back row, opened her small bag, and used the mirror above the passenger to touch up the makeup.
"Uncle Qi's warm invitation, I can't refuse."
Shen Du looked at the beautiful rich woman seriously, and said with a smile: "I said, why are you doing makeup when you have grown like this, how can other women live?" ”
The beautiful rich woman gave him a blank look: "I want you to take care of it!" ”
In fact, she was happy in her heart, and Shen Dui's words sounded like a complaint on the surface, but the original intention was praise.
In less than an hour, the magnificent and luxurious villa was already in sight, the air was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers, and a gust of breeze blew, bringing up a few light pink petals, melodiously drifting into the car window.
"It's beautiful!"
Liu Qingli carefully grabbed a petal with her jade fingers like onion roots, and the smile on her face was as bright as a round of sun.
She immediately turned her head to look in the direction of Gucun Park, only to see the satin-like flowers in the distance falling into the world like colorful glow, gilded by the last afterglow of the setting sun.
"Shen Dusk, should we find a weekend to go out?"
Perhaps infected by the beautiful scenery in front of her, Liu Qingli turned her head with an unconcealed expectation in her eyes.
"Where do you want to go, I'll arrange it?"
Of course, Shen Du will not spoil her interest, the two of them have indeed not traveled for too long, and the last time was in the ancient town of Jiangnan in early September last year.
"As long as there is a place to see the cherry blossoms, but you have to hurry, if you wait ten days or eight days, the cherry blossoms will wither."
Liu Qingli tilted her head and thought for a long time, but she didn't find a suitable place to go, so she directly threw the problem to Shen Du and made a request.
"Is it okay to have cherry blossoms?" Shen Du teased her and said, "Okay, when we finish visiting Uncle Qi, I will take you on a night tour of Gucun Park, and the cherry blossoms in it will let you see enough." ”
"Humph!"
Knowing that the other party was joking, Liu Qingli was still so angry that she gritted her teeth.
After a while, the car drove into the villa compound, and Qi Mingzhi and his wife went out to greet them.
"Light glass is here?" Mother Qi greeted warmly, "Shen Dui, come into the house and sit!" ”
"Auntie, where is Qi Hao?"
Shen Du looked left and right, but didn't see Qi Hao's shadow.
"I guess I'm going crazy again, let's eat first, don't worry about him, he should be back later."
When it comes to her son, Qi's mother is angry.
"Auntie, this is what I brought from the company, I hope you don't dislike it."
Liu Qingli gave the gift box, and Qi's mother said yes and smiled.
It's not that she is so rare in cosmetics, but that she has been worried about her son for half her life, Qi Hao is still ignorant and has not received a gift from her juniors.
"Uncle Qi?"
After the two women entered the hall, Shen Du was about to take the opportunity to ask Qi Mingzhi, but was interrupted by the latter: "Don't worry, eat first and talk slowly." ”
The dinner was sumptuous, and everything you could see in the restaurant could be found on the table.
Mother Qi was a little too enthusiastic, and kept serving vegetables to the beautiful rich woman, if she didn't know the situation, she couldn't wait to let Liu Qingli be her daughter-in-law.
"I heard that you asked Yuan Yourong to pay attention to the auction information of the plot, do you have any ideas?"
After the meal, Qi Mingzhi lit a cigarette and finally mentioned the matter, and it could be seen from his expression that he was extremely concerned about this matter.
It stands to reason that the shareholder of Zhumengju Company is his son, and the development of the company has nothing to do with him.
But Qi Hao is a master who doesn't care about things at all, if he doesn't care about it, then he will really shoot the ground, and he, the old man, will have to pay out of his pocket for no reason.
And once the real estate industry invests, there are no small projects, how can Qi Mingzhi not be cautious?
"Well, I do have some ideas!"
Shen Du frowned slightly, he didn't want to discuss this matter in front of Liu Qingli, because the amount of money involved was relatively large, and it would be difficult to explain it if he asked.
"Oh? Did you find a way, or did you have a new idea? ”
Qi Mingzhi's eyes showed a look of anticipation, and he still recognized Shen Dui's mind very much.
Shen Dui was tangled, racking his brains to figure out how to fool the past.
"Twilight, I've found a fun new place......"
At this moment, Qi Hao suddenly opened the door and came in, with excitement on his face that could not be concealed.
