Chapter 6: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
The moment he saw Chen Xi in the banquet hall of the auction, Gao Zhexing recognized her.
And her eyes obviously remembered herself, and the rest of the matter was logical.
He admits that he is unscrupulous, as long as he finds the weakness of the other party, he will make good use of it, but he also has to marvel at how God really treats him, every time he meets her, he can always use it to break the predicament.
Thinking of this, Gao Zhexing had a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, but soon the mobile phone that was set aside buzzed, and he looked at the call, his deep eyes filled all emotions.
After connecting the phone, there were a lot of words over there, and Gao Zhexing said: "Zhong Jiahui doesn't have the ability to set up a game to kill me, you check if it's the one from Southeast Asia who came back." ”
...
Chen Xi stayed in the hospital for five days, and after a whole body checkup, there was no problem, and her family was relieved to let her be discharged.
In the past few days in the hospital, she was very afraid of meeting the person who embarrassed her back then, but she was relieved that the person did not show up until she was discharged from the hospital.
On the day she was discharged from the hospital, she first went back to the company to explain her work, and then went to the elderly rehabilitation hospital non-stop to deliver paintings.
In the hospital room, her aunt looked at the lost oil painting and burst into tears.
This is a realistic oil painting of the figure painted by her husband, Mr. Zhuo, but more than 30 years ago, this painting disappeared with her husband, and she has not given up looking for him all these years, but has never found anything.
Until recently, oil paintings suddenly reappeared in auction houses, so it was important to get them back.
But the old man was weak, and before she could say a few more words to Chen Xi, she fainted due to myocardial infarction due to excessive emotion, and it took a lot of rescue to settle down.
After more than ten days like this, Chen Xi went to Tokyo on a business trip again, and as soon as he returned to Pengcheng, he was called by his friend to go to sea.
Chen Xi's friend is called He Chengcheng, the two are junior high school classmates, and Chen Xi partnered with her to open a company related to medical beauty.
He Chengcheng had just returned from a vacation in Hawaii, the two hadn't seen each other for a while, and they had some work to talk about, so Chen Xi went to Yacht Bay by appointment.
In the shallow water, Chen Xi came out of the cabin and saw He Chengcheng, who was standing at the stern, waving to another luxury business yacht 50 meters away.
She walked behind He Chengcheng and asked, "Met an acquaintance?" ”
"Hmm." He Chengcheng turned his head to her and raised his eyebrows and said, "There are friends partying over there, let's go over and have fun." ”
Chen Xi was familiar with He Chengcheng's gameplay in their circle, she was not interested in that kind of extravagant party, picked up the fishing rod on the deck and smiled back, "I'm fishing, you go hang little fresh meat!" ”
"This time it's different!" He Chengcheng pressed her fishing rod and curled the corners of her mouth, "There is no fresh meat, but there are many attractive men!" ”
Friends for many years, Chen Xi immediately smelled the deep meaning in her words, and raised her eyebrows, "What do you have in mind?" ”
He Chengcheng smiled slyly and didn't answer, turned around and waved to the yacht that had sailed behind them.
Chen Xi turned his head to look, and a man wearing sunglasses came out of the cabin, and he greeted He Chengcheng. He Chengcheng stepped down the gangway and stepped into the deck of the bottom of the other party's yacht, and seeing that Chen Xi did not follow, he looked back at Chen Xi and said a lip word,
"Give me face!"
The leisure vacation time was interrupted by a sudden social interaction, and Chen Xi's good mood was discounted.
The man in sunglasses took them to the second-floor cabin.
The cabins of luxury yachts are decorated with the highest quality, understated and luxurious.
It's just that before he entered, Chen Xi heard the sound of mahjong colliding inside, behind the bar, four men sat in front of a mahjong table, and there were several young people standing and watching, both men and women.
At a glance, the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, but the one who sat with his back to her couldn't see his face clearly, but when the man reached out to touch the card, the bright light of the jewel on the cuff just pierced her eyes, and she couldn't help but look at him twice.
The man was wearing a light blue shirt, the fingers touching the cards were slender and distinct, the shirt at the shoulder blades was slightly tightened with his movements, and the outline of the back and shoulders under the shirt was perfectly outlined.
Chen Xi is engaged in a beauty career, and with accumulated experience, he doesn't need to look at the front, just by looking at this back, he knows that the hormones emanating from this person can fascinate a girl.
He Chengcheng next to her stepped forward to greet her acquaintance, she put her hand on the back of a man's chair in beach pants, and quipped: "Young Master Su, your hand is not very good!" ”
The man who was called Young Master Su smiled helplessly, "Today's luck is very bad, and I am about to lose a yacht!" ”
The man with rimless glasses next to him glanced at He Chengcheng, who was dressed bewitchingly, and joked: "Ask this beauty to help you touch a card for transfer." ”
Young Master Su smiled and looked at He Chengcheng and made a casual gesture.
"Su Shao, you also know that I will lose every time I gamble, but..."He Chengcheng immediately changed his words, "I have a friend who has always had good luck, and she also came over, let her touch one for you?" As she spoke, she beckoned to Chen Xi.
Young Master Su looked in the direction of He Chengcheng, and the moment he saw Chen Xi, who was young and beautiful and had an outstanding temperament, He Chengcheng obviously saw the word interest in his eyes.
He nodded in agreement.
At this time, if Chen Xi still didn't understand what He Chengcheng was planning, she would have lived for 26 years in vain.
But except for the man who was sitting with his back to her, everyone else looked over, Chen Xi was not good at losing face in this situation, she walked over, stretched out her hand and touched a card at random.
As soon as he played out, someone knocked down the card, not Young Master Su, but the man next to him who had never seen his face clearly.
Suddenly, the card table was in an uproar, and the man in sunglasses teased He Chengcheng, "Chengcheng, it seems that your friend is more prosperous and high!" ”
He Chengcheng smiled!
Gao Gongzi, who won the card, pulled the corner of his lips lightly, "Thank you!" ”
A somewhat familiar low male voice, Chen Xi looked sideways, and the man's originally drooping eyes suddenly rose up, unexpectedly meeting her eyes.
Chen Xi's calm demeanor suddenly stiffened a little.
Gao Gongzi, Gao Zhexing!
Chen Xi didn't expect to meet Gao Zhexing here, even if she understood that it was just a coincidence, it still made her think of the word narrow road.
Gao Zhexing's face was calm, his peach blossom eyes were clear and deep, and he did not reveal any of his inner emotions.
His gaze met Chen Xi for a second, and then he looked away as plain as water.
Chen Xi staggered his gaze from him, but his heart was not calm.
After this game, everyone stopped playing, except for Young Master Su, the other three people at the table went to the top floor, and the onlookers also dispersed one after another.
It's just that the eyes of those women who looked at Chen Xi before leaving were not very friendly, and one of the women also secretly took a picture of Chen Xi's side face with a camera.
Chen Xi changed into a suspender beach dress before going to sea, and there was no feature in the front, but the back was half exposed, and the unique back line was not only eye-catching, but also made the same sex envious and jealous.
Young Master Su's eyes are vicious, and he can't take his eyes off when he sees the textbook-level butterfly bones and waist sockets, not to mention that his skin is as white as snow, which has already made people salivate.
He surrounded Chen Xi to greet him, clearly showing that he was interested in getting to know each other, He Chengcheng was optimistic about his success, and he didn't know where to go if he left Chen Xi.
After an embarrassing and polite round with Young Master Su, it wasn't until someone came to him that Chen Xi was able to get out.
Chen Xi turned around and went to look for He Chengcheng, and when she saw He Chengcheng flirting with a golden retriever man on the third-floor platform, the irritability in her heart ignited instantly.
Chen Xi went up and pulled He Chengcheng to a place where no one was.
didn't beat around the bush, Chen Xi said directly: "Pimping and pulling all your friends, He Chengcheng, what benefits will the surname Su give you?" ”
"Why! Just make one more friend. He Chengcheng's eyes wandered, avoiding Chen Xi's questioning.
When others say this, Chen Xi may still believe it, but He Chengcheng is no one else.
has been friends with He Chengcheng for many years, although Chen Xi used to disagree with some of He Chengcheng's ways, as long as she didn't get angry, she would turn a blind eye.
But He Chengcheng hit the ghost idea on himself this time, so that's another story!
Chen Xi: "I've been dealing with the surnamed Su for so long, do you think I didn't ask something?" ”
He Chengcheng panicked at this time, and looked at Chen Xi cautiously, "What did he say?" ”
The corners of Chen Xi's mouth hooked up a sneer, "You want the agency of his products." ”
After speaking, Chen Xi also felt extremely cold, and the friendship of more than ten years was not worth mentioning in front of interests.
Seeing this, He Chengcheng had a showdown, "Cici, I am also thinking about the transformation of the company. Su's products have always been selling well in the field of medical cosmetology, and instead of fighting for the agency of the brand in Switzerland, it is better to take the exclusive agent of Su's products, and climbing to Su Gongzi is the fastest way. ”
Chen Xi said mercilessly: "If you want me to sacrifice hue at the expense, He Chengcheng, I advise you to find a partner again." ”
He Chengcheng was so weak by Chen Xi's words that he couldn't speak.
She is much more open than Chen Xi in terms of the relationship between men and women, men love women, as long as you love me, it's OK, knowing that the surname Su recently likes intellectual beauties like Chen Xi, she wants to take a lead and get vested interests.
But now seeing that Chen Xi, who is usually calm, is on the verge of anger, He Chengcheng is frightened, and she doesn't want the friendship to break down.
"Cici, don't be angry...", she procrastinated, her mind racing, playing the sympathy card, "You know that my dad has always been partial to my brothers, I don't just want to make some grades, I..."
He Chengcheng started to partner with Chen Xi to do business because of the nature of playing tickets, but the company is getting better and better, so she wants to make some achievements to prove to her patriarchal father.
It's just that Chen Xi didn't buy it, "For the sake of the end, unscrupulous means, so I sold my friends!" ”
After Chen Xi finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Cici, Cici, wait, ah..." He Chengcheng wanted to catch up, just as the person playing in the sea threw a five-colored ball up and landed at her feet, she stumbled two steps and fell.
Chen Xi ignored her and walked to the gangway, but ran into Gao Zhexing who had just finished making a phone call at the corner.
Gao Zhexing was standing very close to the place where she was talking to He Chengcheng just now, and if she was willing to listen, she could probably hear what they were talking about.
Chen Xi paused for a moment, really a little embarrassed.
Gao Zhexing put away the phone and glanced at her, but the sweep was quite bland, without any meaning.
Chen Xi thought of the matter of his aunt's phone call to ask for an investigation a few days ago, and he didn't plan to ask Gao Zhexing's assistant from near and far, so he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr. Gao, is it convenient to chat?" ”
