Chapter 17: Long Island Iced Tea

But after thinking about it, Chen Xi was also relieved.

A man like Gao Zhexing, regardless of his status and status, that face alone can attract countless women.

How can such a man be dedicated! Everything last night was just a person in a foreign country to relieve loneliness, just like that year in Japan, but I thought too much.

She didn't get away with the food anymore, and ate everything on her plate, although she couldn't remember what she had eaten in the end.

When Chen Xi left the restaurant, he looked at the table again, and the two of them had long since disappeared.

After Wei Xiangnan received Chen Xi, he found that she was not in a high mood, pinched her face, and asked, "With a dish, didn't you meet yesterday to talk to?" ”

Chen Xi pulled away his hand and glanced at him, "Boring." ”

Wei Xiangnan saw that she kept bowing her head to reply to the email processing work, and while waiting for the traffic light, he half-jokingly said: "Xixi, it's right to love work, but it's not cute to be a strong woman!" ”

After Chen Xi replied to a message, he looked at Wei Xiangnan with his chin propped up, "What kind of girl do you think is cute?" Like your Fang Rui? ”

Wei Xiangnan curled the corners of his lips, "It's pretty cute." ”

Chen Xi teased him, "Then it seems that you are reconciled!" ”

"Don't underestimate your brother!"

"How dare you!"

was interrupted by Wei Xiangnan, and Chen Xi's mood seemed to be a lot better. In fact, she doesn't want to be a strong woman, but she doesn't seem to know who said that if you don't have a lot of love, it's not bad to make a lot of money.

...

Gao stayed in Zurich until Sunday before returning to Pengcheng.

As soon as he got off the plane, he received a call from his grandmother, telling him to go back.

Huayang Group was founded by his grandfather Mak Huayang 50 years ago, and 15 years ago, Mak Huayang died and was taken over by his wife Ye Anlan, who is currently the chairman and president of Huayang Group.

Mai Huayang and Ye Anlan had two daughters, Zhong Jiahui is the daughter of the eldest daughter Mai Xin, but Mai Xin died many years ago, and Gao Zhexing is the son of the little woman Mai Xuan, Mai Xuan did not work in Huayang Group, and has been living in the imperial capital with her husband Gao Jingshen, who is in an important position.

The outside world knows that the huge Huayang Group industry will be inherited by these two grandsons in the future, but people who are familiar with the inside story guess that after Ye Anlan a hundred years later, there is a high probability that the person in charge of Huayang Group will be Gao Zhexing.

Ye Anlan lives in Yantian District, west of Pengcheng, which is far away from the downtown area, with beautiful mountains and rivers, and many villas, and the Lanyuan where she lives is in the best location.

From the airport to Arashien, it takes more than an hour to take the highway. Gao Zhexing often travels around the world, and jet lag is commonplace for him, resting for a few hours on the plane and working as soon as he gets off the plane.

When he arrived at Lanyuan, he ended a video conference.

He handed his coat to the butler who had come up to pick him up and asked, "Where is Grandma?" ”

The housekeeper pointed to the flower room in the courtyard, "Master Liao sent a lot of flowers today, and the old lady stayed there for more than an hour." ”

Gao Zhexing walked to the flower room, and through the transparent glass, he saw the old lady arranging flowers over there from a distance.

Gao Zhe walked into the flower room, and before he could say hello, he heard the old lady say, "I'm back." ”

With that, she turned her head with a kind smile on her face.

The old lady is seventy years old, but she is well-maintained, and her whole person is in good condition, although she is already a gray hair, but her well-groomed hair and makeup reveal full elegance and delicacy.

Gao Zhexing stepped forward and grabbed her shoulder, "Grandma." ”

The old lady put the last flower in the place of the guest branch, and when she was done, she asked him, "How is my little Hara-ryu?" ”

Gao Zhexing took a look, "Every angle is staggered, there are shortcomings, and there are flows, which can form different levels of appreciation experience, which is very good." ”

The old lady raised her eyebrows, "You still know flowers?" ”

"I don't understand, but the aesthetics are still there."

The old lady nodded, "This time I went to Switzerland, did you encounter problems at work?" ”

Gao Zhexing did not hide it from her, "The project has encountered a bottleneck and the progress is slow. ”

Huayang Group invested in a resort there a year ago, and Zhong Jiahui was in charge of it before, but after Zhong Jiahui's previous series of investment failures, the board of directors voted, and the project was in the hands of Gao Zhexing, but the Swiss side was full of Zhong Jiahui's people, and his takeover was not smooth.

The old lady should have guessed the reason, "It is inevitable that the project will hit a bottleneck for a while, and you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself." ”

Gao Zhexing: "Yes. ”

The old lady sprinkled some water on the other flowers, and said, "Jiahui came to see me two days ago, and her body is almost recuperated, and she wants to go back to work." ”

When the old lady's words fell, Gao Zhexing knew the purpose of her calling herself.

Zhong Jiahui previously claimed that she was unwell and on vacation, but in fact, the board of directors asked her to delegate power, but with the old lady supporting her, it was only a matter of time before she returned, and Gao Zhexing also gave her steps in due course.

"Since my cousin is in good health, it's a good thing to come back and share the affairs of the group."

The old lady did not favor one over the other, and gave Gao Zhexing a promise, "I will help you coordinate the matter of Switzerland when I go back." ”

Gao Zhexing smiled, noncommittal.

Ye Anlan sighed in her heart, she knew that the two grandsons fought hard, but the back of her hands and palms were all meat.

Seeing that Gao Zhexing didn't want to talk deeply, she asked: "Don't be busy with work all day long, and take into account your personal emotional life." ”

Gao Zhexing laughed: "Grandma, this is urging marriage? ”

"I've been looking forward to holding my great-grandson." Speaking of this topic, the old lady looked forward to it like all the elders, "I don't have to worry about starting a family and starting a business." But you have to put the matter of starting a family on the agenda. ”

Seeing that Gao Zhexing was indifferent, she finally complained, "In the past year, you have pushed away all the blind dates arranged for you." ”

"It's too much trouble, I don't have time to wait." Gao Zhexing jokingly said, "Now that science and technology are developed, if you want to hug your great-grandson, I will go back and give you two back." ”

"Nonsense." The old lady glared at him, but at the end, she sighed, "I want to see that you have love and affection, and you are not lonely in your heart." ”

The previous Jiang Yan, although Gao Zhexing didn't bring it to her, she also knew that she was not very satisfied, but she also hoped that her grandson would have someone by her side who knew the warmth and coldness.

Gao Zhexing: "Let's talk about it." ”

Gao Zhexing had dinner with the old lady before leaving Lanyuan.

On the way home, he received a call from Shen Jiayang, who was looking for him over there, and he said to the driver: "Go to the night bar." ”

...

Chen Xi has been busy since he returned from Zurich.

On Sunday, I only had a meal with my family at noon, and I went back to the company in the afternoon to work overtime until I received a call from He Jiaqi (Holiday) in the evening.

Holiday came to Pengcheng from Gangcheng and asked Chen Xi out for dinner.

The two haven't seen each other for almost half a year, and Chen Xi almost doesn't recognize Holiday.

Holiday has short haircuts, a height of 170cm, thin, and a small face with smooth contours, which is the most popular neutral beauty in recent years.

Seeing Chen Xi, whose mouth was open enough to stuff eggs, Holiday laughed and said, "I'm so handsome?" ”

Chen Xi nodded and said half-jokingly: "I used to think that my orientation was fine, but when I saw you now, I began to doubt that you are too handsome." ”

Holiday knocked her on, "Come less!" ”

Chen Xi held his chin and stared at her, "Why did you think about changing your look?" ”

"I was investigating a news before, something happened, and I was followed for a month, and the boss asked me to cut my hair."

She said it lightly, but Chen Xi was terrified when she heard it.

Holiday was originally an entertainment reporter, but then I don't know why I became an investigative reporter, and sometimes I have to take a lot of risks in order to work.

Seeing Chen Xi's concern, Holiday quickly changed the subject, "The last time you asked me to inquire about the Japanese named Bowen who appeared in the Lanting Club, I found some eyebrows. ”

Chen Xi: "What eyebrows?" ”

"That Bowen, whose name in Japan is Kasuke Sato, is the only son of the president of the Sato Group. If you go to Tokyo a lot, the Sato Group should be no stranger. ”

Chen Xi knows that Sato Group is mainly engaged in supermarket business, and there are many super-markets in Japan.

She nodded, "The owner of the Sato Group is a woman in her fifties, known as Mrs. Sato, and I met her at an event a long time ago. ”

Holiday took over, "You said that Bowen looks like your aunt's missing husband, I specially asked a Japanese friend to check, although there is no information about Mrs. Sato's husband, but everyone in the circle knows that Mrs. Sato and her husband are childhood sweethearts, but her husband has been sick for a long time and has been in a nursing home, and Bowen was indeed born to Mrs. Sato." ”

Chen Xi understood that Bowen should have nothing to do with her aunt's husband Zhuo Cheng, in this case, the clue was broken again.

"There are people in the world who look so similar." Chen Xi sighed, "What are the chances that a person will still be alive if he has been missing for thirty years?" ”

Holiday said, "Is it possible that your aunt's husband is hiding and doesn't want to be found by your aunt?" ”

Chen Xi's first reaction was to deny, "No, their relationship has always been very good." ”

"That's what your aunt said." "You're only 26 years old, and you weren't even born 30 years ago, so you can't see with your own eyes whether they're in a good relationship or not. ”

Chen Xi: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but my aunt is in poor health now, and if she assumes, I'm afraid she won't be able to listen." ”

Holiday seemed to think of something suddenly, "My boss knows a man who does business in Southeast Asia, and I heard that there are a lot of channels, and since your aunt and husband have disappeared over there, I guess I can find out something by asking him for help, but the price of help should be expensive." ”

Chen Xi nodded, "You go back and make a line with your boss, my aunt said in the early years that she would get her husband back if she went bankrupt." ”

"Okay."

"Thank you."

After dinner, Holiday received a message from an informant, and in order to hide people's eyes, she made an appointment to meet at a bar, and she brought Chen Xi with her.

It was a place called Night Bar, and as soon as he entered, Chen Xi was dizzy by the deafening music.

Holiday's informant was a boy, who looked like a student, and shortly after he entered, Holiday followed him onto the dance floor, where he spoke more discreetly.

Chen Xi stayed in the booth and waited for Holiday, and was bored playing with his mobile phone, when he was suddenly stopped.

β€œCici。”

The male voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, and it was full of joy, but Chen Xi's face sank when he heard it.

She looked at the person with a cold expression and did not say anything.

Seeing this, the other party was a little speechless, but still asked: "I heard that you have not been a doctor, how have you been in the past few years?" ”

Chen Xi smiled, it was a sneer, "It has nothing to do with you." ”

The other party was silent, only looked at Chen Xi with a pair of hot eyes, and said for a long time: "Cici, I'm sorry for what happened back then." ”

Chen Xi's heart tingled, and her voice was rarely irritable, "If you feel sorry, get out now!" ”

The other party's mouth moved, and finally he didn't say anything more and left.

Chen Xi was also deflated for a moment, she had forgotten it for a long time, and he mentioned it again.

She grabbed a glass and drank a large glass of water, but the heartburn soon set in, and she realized that it was not the sparkling water she had ordered that she had just drunk, but the cocktail that Holiday had wanted.

Long Island Iced Tea, a famous bar lost wine, has a lot of stamina!

Chen Xi sent a message to Holiday while she was still awake, she left first, and soon walked out of the bar.

She had just come by car, but now she definitely can't drive, so she walked to the side of the road and waited for a taxi.

The night breeze blew her hair, making her already slender and add to her drunken beauty.

The taxi didn't come, but it attracted a tattooed man with a thief's eyebrows.

The tattooed man grabbed Chen Xi's thin arm, "It's not safe for girls to be alone at night, I'll send you back." ”

"No, you don't." Chen Xi smelled a smell of oil, which made her want to vomit, and she broke free from the man's hand.

The tattooed man didn't let her go, "I'll send you, you see you've drunk a lot of alcohol, what if you meet a bad guy?" ”

The drunken dizziness made Chen Xi unable to get rid of the other party's entanglement, and the tattooed man hugged her shaved shoulders and wanted to take them in the car.

It's just that he didn't take two steps, and the tattooed man's hand on Chen Xi's shoulder was torn off, and the heavy force on his wrist made him can't help but curse.

The other party's deep voice was sonorous and powerful, "Let go of her." ”

The tattooed man saw the other party's squinting, and the cold facial features were not easy to mess with, so he scolded a few foul words and walked away.

Chen Xi was groggy, only to see a man, his arm tightened, and he dragged himself to his side.
