Chapter 42: A Misunderstanding
Sui Yan simply put the luggage on the desk and made a simple handover with Li Sijun's other assistant, "If you don't understand anything, please call at any time, and you can deal with the rest when I come back." ”
The assistant nodded yes, "By the way, Secretary Sui, the ticket has been picked up, and I will be on the plane at half past three this afternoon." ”
The ticket was handed to Sui Yan by the assistant, and the destination on it was a small coastal city with a reputation for a well-developed tourism industry and chaotic law and order.
As soon as the assistant left, there was another knock on the half-open door.
"You're going to go there in person?" Seeing that the door of the office was open, Li Mi knocked meaningfully, looking at Sui Yan, who had changed into his regular clothes, and felt a little unaccustomed.
"Yes, Mr. Li also attaches great importance to this matter, and I have lived in Bincheng for a period of time, so I am very familiar with the situation over there." Sui Yan put on a black jacket, took out a piece of paper with an address somewhere in Bincheng written on it from a drawer and handed it to Li Mi, "You asked me to check the people Bai Ling contacted before his debut a month ago, is it just for today?" ”
As early as a month ago, before Li Mi and Jian Mingxi went to the film and television base, they had secretly entrusted Sui Yan to help inquire about Bai Ling's origin.
In the memory of Li Mi's previous life, he only had a shallow impression of what happened to Bai Ling.
But in the repeated dreams, I saw a lot of information that I didn't know whether it was true or false.
The indecent photos of Bai Ling that are now circulating all over the Internet have never been seen by Li Mi, who was only in elementary school in his previous life, but the photo in his dream has appeared more than once.
What Li Mi remembers most clearly is the school uniform that was put aside, which proves that Bai Ling's so-called chaotic private life is likely to have been hurt when she was a student, so she asked Sui Yan to check the people Bai Ling contacted before her debut.
The first to bear the brunt of nature are the loved ones.
It wasn't until this life, when the nude photos door broke out a few years in advance, that Li Mi saw the photo with her own eyes and knew that her dreams were more than just dreams.
Sui Yan's ability also far exceeded his expectations.
Bai Ling's stepfather suddenly left the city where he had lived for many years three months ago and went to Ben Cheng without telling any relatives or friends, including his wife and Bai Ling's mother.
Sui Yan was able to easily track his stepfather's whereabouts, even to the neighborhood and house number where he lives now.
"Of course, I don't have the ability to predict the future, but I'm just a little worried about Bai Ling." Li Mi's face was embarrassed, "I'm sorry, the specific reason is related to Bai Ling's privacy, and I can't disclose it." But this time it's really thanks to you. ”
As always, Sui Yan is always kind to the Li family, and no longer asks anything else, "I know." You can rest assured that he won't have a chance to play missing until he is arraigned. ”
Carrying his suitcase, Sui Yan took the elevator downstairs, and was called by someone as soon as he opened the door.
"Sui... Sui Yan, are you going on a business trip? Li Mai trotted over, still holding two tickets in his hand, "I still want to invite you to see the musical...... When are you coming back? ”
The moment he saw Li Mai, Sui Yan's originally cold and hard eyes softened, he took out one of the tickets and looked at the time, "Next Saturday, I should be able to catch up." Is it related to your dissertation? ”
Recently, Li Mai has been busy with her graduation thesis, soaking in the library all day long, and after Sui Yan learned about this, she helped consult a lot of professional materials, and she also knew a little about her thesis topic.
"Huh? Thesis? Oh, yes, yes, it has something to do with the paper. You've checked so much information for me before, and I want to read it with you and hear your opinions. Li Mai was stunned for a moment, then nodded and admitted, his gaze wandering a little, "If you're busy, forget it, I can find someone else to ......."
"Wait until I get back." Sui Yan interrupted Li Mai's words, and at this time, there was a wind in front of him, he turned sideways to block Li Mai's side, and when he looked down, he could see Li Mai's long eyelashes, "Don't bother the two masters, right?" ”
Li Mai felt his breath approaching, subconsciously lowered his head, and mumbled vaguely.
When Sui Yan's car was far away, he patted his bangs, pinched the remaining ticket in his hand, and walked towards the gate with a smile.
"Wheat, long time no see." In the hall, Sheng Hong sat on the sofa and put down the magazine in his hand, walked up to Li Mai, and his eyes fell on the musical ticket in her hand, "This is the play you said you were looking forward to before?" I've been so busy lately that I haven't even noticed that tickets have been sold, so I wonder if I'm honored to go with you? ”
After the finals of the division, Li Mai was almost soaked in school, except for receiving a celebratory bouquet sent by Sheng Hong, the two never saw each other again.
For some reason, Sheng Hong, who was still gentle and friendly in front of him, made Li Mai feel a little strange.
She noticed that Sheng Hong's dress seemed to have changed a lot.
In the finals, she bought a haute couture dress out of her own pocket, and Li Mi took the opportunity to give Li Mai science relevant fashion information, so as not to make her rich and expensive people in the world unstable.
Therefore, Li Mai could see at a glance that although Sheng Hong's dressing style had not changed much, he was almost a big name from head to toe, and the watch on his right wrist was even more expensive.
"Brother Sheng Hong, I'm sorry, I asked someone else to watch it together." Li Mai declined Sheng Hong's invitation with a little apology, "It's a good thing that you're busy with work, haven't you always pursued a successful career?" ”
"It's a good thing, it's just that I have a lot less time to spend with you." Sheng Hong glanced at the watch as if unintentionally, but the dial was facing the direction of Li Mai, "There will be entertainment in a while." It's okay, I don't necessarily have time lately, but this is the second time Wheat has rejected me, and this time it's also because I'm with my sister? ”
"No, it's with someone else." Li Mai smiled, took half a step back and widened the distance between the two, "Then I'll go up first, so I won't delay your time." ”
As soon as I walked to the elevator, the elevator door opened, and Li Mai and Li Mi collided.
Li Mai was still muttering in her heart, is today a good day for chance encounters, but before she stepped forward to paste it with her sister, she was poked on the door of her head by her sister's finger.
"Were you talking to Sheng Hong just now?" Li Mi looked at Sheng Hong, who was still staying in the hall, and the fire in his heart rose three feet high.
"I just happened to bump into it, Xiaomi, you hurt me." Li Mai knew that the relationship between the two was not good, so he explained, and pushed Li Mi's hand away aggrievedly.
Li Mi remembered that she had just received the message from Sui Yan, and looked at her mother, who was just right in her youth and died in her previous life, and rarely confided in her heart, "Sister, can you not like him?" He's not a good guy. ”
"How do you know I have someone I like??" Li Mai was startled, but he didn't hide his inner thoughts, he covered his mouth in hindsight, and was a little anxious to confess.
"I'm just, a little bit like, not like. Besides, Sui Yan is not a good person, he is careful and personable, and he has helped me a lot......"
"Wait." Li Mibi made a pause, and the expression on his face was a little weird, "Who did you just say you like?" ”
"Sui Yan, who else is there?" After Li Mai finished speaking, he sighed again and patted Li Mi, "It's a good feeling, not a liking." ”
"What about him?" Li Mi held Li Mai's head and told her to turn in the direction of Sheng Hong.
Li Mai's eyes widened, "Brother Sheng Hong? I've always only looked at him as a brother, what are you little girl guessing! ”
Although this sentence is somewhat scumbag, the corners of Li Mi's mouth can't help but rise.
It turned out that what I had been worried about didn't happen at all, and my mother didn't like the scumbag, so I didn't have to worry about my mother being sad when I made a move on the scumbag.
"Honey, trouble a cup of coffee, piping hot kind." Li Mi walked to the front desk and smiled and took the coffee at the right temperature from the young lady at the front desk.
In Li Mai's puzzled eyes, Li Mi walked in the direction of Sheng Hong with the coffee, and when he was only a few steps away, he suddenly stumbled, and the hot coffee was splashed on Sheng Hong's body accurately, and most of it was spilled on the expensive watch.
Sheng Hong didn't even care about the hot red hands, but took off the watch as soon as possible, and kept shaking the coffee juice.
"I'm sorry, Senior Shenghong, my foot slipped." Li Mi's voice was horizontal and vertical, and he didn't hear the slightest apology, "Your watch is not cheap, how much is it, I'll pay you?" ”
"Li Mi, you ......" Sheng Hong raised his head, it was rare that he didn't suppress his anger, and at the same time saw Li Mai walking towards this side, and forced out the next sentence, "It's okay, you walk carefully in the future, don't stumble." ”
"Xiaomi, did you get it? Let me see. Li Mai grabbed Li Mi's wrist first, and then said, "Brother Sheng Hong, are you okay?" There is a medical kit at the front desk, I'll help you deal with it first. ”
This time, Li Mi watched Li Mai personally help Sheng Hong deal with the burns on his hands, and he didn't make waves anymore, only the refreshment of taking a bad breath for Bai Ling.
On the mobile phone with the screen not turned off in her pocket, the latest news sent to her by Sui Yan was displayed.
"The list you asked me to check, as well as Sheng Hong's dealings with them, have come to fruition."
Among them, there is a piece of information marked in red, one of the first media to break the news of the Bai Ling incident, which is on the list, and this media is also one of the so-called resources that Sheng Hong has recently contacted.
