Chapter 110: Temptation
After leaving the contract with her, Chen Jiayan sat down in the study with the safe.
She laid the contract flat on her desk and stared silently at the word "Bamboo Field" on the contract.
Two simple words, but as if there was some kind of ulterior magic, firmly attracted her attention.
The Zhutian version of the hardcover Dream of Red Mansions in the study was also taken out of the bookshelf by her and placed next to the contract.
Looking at the word "Zhutian" on the book and the contract, Chen Jiayan became more and more convinced that Zhang Hao mentioned by his father must have an inextricable relationship with the writer Zhutian, and even he is Mr. Zhutian himself.
Although she repeatedly reminded herself not to bother Mr. Takeda rashly, it was difficult for her to suppress her curiosity.
Chen Jiayan thought to herself: "Dad knows almost nothing about Mr. Zhutian and Zhang Hao, maybe I should ask Li He." ”
Thinking of this, she quickly took out her mobile phone, clicked on Li He's avatar, and prepared to send him a message to ask about the situation.
But halfway through the text editing, she suddenly shook her head and frowned and deleted all the text.
When it came to the end, Chen Jiayan couldn't help but feel a sense of gain and loss.
She had a bad premonition that Zhang Hao would not reveal the news related to Zhutian.
After all, Mr. Takeda had never replied to the letters she sent, and this time he would probably remain silent.
Or, if it's really just a coincidence, wouldn't it be embarrassing for everyone?
really wants her to give up asking, but she is really unwilling.
She gritted her teeth, tapped her phone's screen again, and began editing new messages.
But after a while, she deleted some of the text.
After several attempts in a row, Chen Jiayan still couldn't edit a single piece of information that satisfied her.
She always felt that there was something wrong with her wording.
What she didn't know was that it was actually the shyness in her heart that was at work.
After another failed attempt, Chen Jiayan put down her phone, rubbed her temples in distress, and finally made a "bold" decision.
She wanted to take out the "elder" shelf, call Li He directly, and ask him to inquire about Mr. Takeda's news.
After making up her mind, Chen Jiayan opened the address book and pressed Li He's mobile phone number fiercely.
In the box of the bar, Zhang Yuanda was gently patting Li He's right cheek:
"Li He, Li He, be sober, your phone is ringing!"
"Ring, let's drink!" Li He, who was drunk on the sofa, said in a daze, "Come,... Cheers! ”
Zhang Yuanda looked at the notes on the caller ID, and pushed Li He hard: "Wake up, it's your aunt's call!" ”
"Ah, that's even more unacceptable." Li He was confused, but his thoughts were very clear, "I have drunk so much, and now I will definitely be scolded when I answer the phone call from the elders in the family..
I'm asleep, I'm already asleep, I'll call back tomorrow! ”
Zhang Yuanda shrugged, as if he felt that what Li He said made sense, so he turned his mobile phone to silent and said, "Then you don't answer it first, if your aunt calls me again, I'll call you." ”
Li He nodded carelessly and rested his head on a young lady's lap.
Zhang Yuanda said with an unhappy face: "Hey, this kid is really underbeaten!" ”
"I think he's overexcited today, and he probably won't be able to go back at night." Zhang Hao said, "Help him book a room in a nearby hotel." ”
"No problem, Brother Hao, I'll decide right away." Zhang Yuanda nodded and said, "I won't go back today, just watch him in the hotel." ”
...
In the study, Chen Jiayan put down her mobile phone with some disappointment.
Li He didn't answer her call, I don't know if he was already resting.
She sat silently in the study and waited for a while, and saw that Li He never called back, so she had to send him a WeChat message:
"Slept? Call me back tomorrow. ”
She then put the contract in the safe, carefully put the book back on the shelf, and then returned to the living room.
Chen Qing looked at his daughter and asked with a somewhat strange face, "Jiajia, do you have something on your mind?" ”。 (More exciting on the next page!) )
"No, Dad!" Chen Jiayan hurriedly covered up, "Why do you say that? ”
"When I came back, I felt that your look was a little unnatural." Chen Qing said, "If there is anything, you have to communicate with me or your mother in time, okay?" ”
Chen Jiayan paused and smiled: "I'm really fine, thank you Dad." ”
She had the heart to ask Chen Qing about Zhang Hao, but considering that her father shouldn't know much about Zhang Hao, she simply gave up.
In the nightclub, two waiters drove Li He and sent him to Zhang Hao's Bentayga.
Zhang Hao nodded to the two waiters and said, "Excuse me, let's play again next time." ”
The waiter who showed him the skills of using high-end lighters last time bowed and said: "You're welcome, Brother Hao, you are welcome to come at any time!" ”
"Okay."
Zhang Hao smiled and sat in the back seat of the car.
After coming to the hotel and helping Li He into the room with Zhang Yuanda, Zhang Hao asked Fang Fan to send him back to the villa.
...
In the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Hao received a call from Li He. Error-free updates @
He teased, "How's it going, now you're refreshed?" ”
"Haha, Brother Hao, I bothered you yesterday." Li He said with a smile, "I called you today, I have something I want to ask you." ”
Zhang Hao said: "What's the matter?" ”
"Hey, little things." Li He said, "Brother Hao, isn't your company called Zhutian Art Trading Company?" Your friend who wrote Dream of Red Mansions also has the pen name of Takeda, I would like to ask if there is any connection between your company name and his pen name? ”
"It's not a connection, it's just a coincidence." Zhang Hao thought for a while and said, "Why did you suddenly ask this?" ”
He didn't want too many people to know that he had "written" the book, because to do so would inevitably lead to endless trouble.
Now just Shen Weiwei and Bai Zhou ask him from time to time if he has any follow-up creative plans, which makes him feel quite a headache.
"Ah, nothing, nothing, I'm just asking." Thinking of Chen Jiayan's advice, Li He hurriedly said, "Eh, Brother Hao, I'm very interested in this book, can you invite Zhutian out another day, let's have a meal together and chat?" ”
"Not for the time being, others are not in the country." Zhang Hao changed the topic and said, "No, you don't even know how many chapters there are in that book, and you are still interested in this book?" ”
Li He scratched his head and said, "Eh, Brother Hao, have you heard the story of Wuxia Ameng?" ”
Zhang Hao smiled: "Okay, just because of your performance last night, I have already been impressed by you." ”
Li He said with a haha: "Ahaha, don't mention the past again!" ”
The two of them, each with a ghost, invariably changed the topic.
