C74 The Man in the Picture

If Liu Hanyan wanted to develop his Liu Group, not only did she need Hong Wei for her internal battle, she also needed a new market for her new products. The moment Chen Yuvliang withdrew his funds, the funds would be cut off, and Jiang Tao, who was in the forefront of the Liu Group, would face a situation where her ammunition was completely depleted.

As the chairman, she knew the situation of the corporation very well. She would not tell Jiang Tao, the Director of Operations, about her lack of money, but told her to go ahead and do what she wanted. As for preventing Chen Yuvliang from withdrawing her funds, or even getting some funds, she would hand it over to Su Bei. This was her only way out.

In the interest group represented by Hong Wei, how many people were waiting for Liu Hanyan to make a joke out of herself, and she could only endure it. At this time, she had already silently accepted the change that Su Bei had brought to the company.

Su Bei called Zhou Mann out from the meeting room of the hotel. It meant that she had matters to attend to the day after tomorrow, if she wanted to move, he could only do it in the afternoon.

"What does the chairman want you to do?"

Uh, it's a personal matter. A friend of mine had a family problem. I'm going over to take a look. He's already taken a leave of absence from the chairman.

She was extremely careful, she had always suspected that Su Bei really did have a friend in the Jianghai. As long as he did something that was hidden from her, she would pull his friend out to be her scapegoat, which was extremely suspicious.

Su Bei saw her doubt and thought, "Does what I do have anything to do with you?" If it wasn't for you being so serious in your work and being so loyal to me and the chairman, I wouldn't even have the heart to help you move house.

The feeling Zhou Mann got from her was like a pressure mountain. This girl was careful to the point that Su Bei would sometimes treat her like a thief in her office, afraid that she would notice the relationship between him and Liu Hanyan.

The first time he came to Zhou Mann's house, it was exactly as Su Bei imagined. The place was very small, with a washroom, kitchen, bedroom or even a bedroom with its own bathroom and kitchen. This was because there was only a single room that was over twenty meters wide, but it was surprisingly clean inside.

What surprised Su Bei the most was the arrangement of his room. There weren't many tables, chairs, pots and pans, as such, Zhou Mann knew how to live very well, and as a benefit for her secretary, Liu Hanyan gave her a meal card, allowing her to bring home Liu Group's meals frequently. The leftovers from the first day could be used as breakfast for the second.

However, there were a lot of papers, pens, and magazines about drawing and drawing. There were even many types of sketches on the walls. There were also a few watercolors and oil paintings, and even a satisfactory painting was hung on the wall.

"Secretary Zhou, you really can't tell that you're an artistic youth?" As Su Bei looked at these paintings, he started to re-examine this woman's heart that was as thin as a needle. The inner world of a white-collar worker could actually be this rich?

Zhou Mann laughed lightly: "My family's condition is not too good, otherwise I would have applied for the art student exam. My parents are also stubborn, and they feel that painting can't be eaten as a meal. "

Su Bei laughed and did not say anything, he continued to look at the paintings and at this time, he understood why Zhou Mann was so introverted and attentive, but how many people in this world were doing things that she liked? She was able to rely on her own hard work to become Liu Hanyan's secretary, although it could not be said that she was above tens of thousands of people by herself, at the very least, in the company, even Hong Wei would have to call her Secretary Zhou.

When Zhou Mann contacted her new room source, Su Bei helped her arrange all the miscellaneous things.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Mann walked over to the two and packed the things up. While chatting, Su Bei gradually understood that after graduating from university, Zhou Mann could not find a suitable job as a guest at a hotel. Coincidentally, there was one time when the Liu Group held a drinking party at that hotel. When Liu Hanyan entered the elevator, her evening dress was pinched against the elevator door, and a large hole was ripped open the hem of it.

At that time, Su Bei could only imagine how embarrassed he was. Fortunately, Zhou Mann saw it when she was in front of the elevator. She let her follow him to the changing room.

Afterwards, Liu Hanyan changed the evening dress into the hotel and forgot about this until one day, she carried a bag with him and personally sent it back to her company. Seeing that Zhou Mann was being very careful, Liu Hanyan asked her if she could come to the Liu Group, thus he transferred her to the secretary group.

Liu Hanyan was a very carefree person, her ability to manage his own life was extremely poor, to the point that it was nil. Zhou Mann was in charge of cleaning the chairman's office in the secretary's office as well as serving tea and other chores. As time passed by, Liu Hanyan became more and more dependent on her, and even Zhou Mann felt uncomfortable when she did not come to work for the entire day.

Su Bei suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Liu Hanyan had such a huge opinion of Zhou Mann. Even when she was angry, he had only said that he wanted to expel her, but had never taken action.

"The house I started living in was smaller. You know the capsule room? Even the landlord had broken the room into a dozen small rooms. The bathroom and kitchen were all public, and only the bedroom had its own door. If you went in, you would sleep, and if you didn't have the air-conditioning, you would complain. Fortunately, not even two years had passed. The Chairman had assigned me to her office, and my salary had also doubled. She knew that I was living a difficult life, and from time to time, she would even give me some subsidies … There are also some clothes and shoes that she is tired of wearing. "

After hearing all this, Su Bei still felt sad. However, living in such a large modern city, the pressure in life still wouldn't be small. Zhou Mann was already considered lucky. There were more than a hundred people in the chairman's secretary team, and every girl looked bright and beautiful. However, how many people returned home to find such a small house?

In a short while, the moving company's car came, the first time was when Su Bei followed them. The house was not bad, and in a modern district, it was a high-rise bachelor apartment.

On the way back, Zhou Mann told him that her ultimate goal was to buy a small house with one room for one room and one room for two rooms at Jianghai. There was no need to even think about it, one room for one room would probably cost close to a million.

Zhou Mann went over herself and asked Su Bei to wait here for a while. All that was left were some bedding and mattresses, which Su Bei could use to pull over.

Watching Zhou Mann leave, Su Bei drank a mouthful of running water from the thermos that Zhou Mann had used and heaved a sigh of relief. He laid on her bed, looks like the Secretary Zhou only had this set of quilts, and it was even covered with cotton during the summer.

Su Bei took out his phone and looked for the location of the Sanda Center on the map, it was not far from the city center, but the consumption level here was not low. Without using his student card, it would cost him a hundred dollars for an hour.

Suddenly, his hand slipped and the phone fell into the mattress. Su Bei reached out and grabbed the phone, expanding the gap, and the phone dropped under the bed with a crash.

Su Bei sat up from the bed and opened up the blanket and mattress, wanting to take out the phone. He immediately realized that there was something wrapped in a layer of bedsheet under the mattress, it was a pile of drawing paper. Logically, a meticulous woman like Zhou Mann should not have forgotten to take out the drawing paper.

As he unrolled the bedspread, a few paintings of different colors and speech lines appeared before his eyes. Su Bei didn't know if it was due to his curiosity or some other reason, but the action of his hand bowing had affected many things that happened afterwards.

The first painting was a drawing of a person's head. To his surprise, the sketch was of himself. Flipping down, it was an oil painting. It was still painting the suit Liu Hanyan bought that day. When he saw the last card, Su Bei's face immediately turned red. This was a painting, and it looked like Su Bei was not wearing any clothes on. Of course, Zhou Mann had never seen himself naked, it was obvious that this painting was one that Zhou Mann had fantasized about.

Su Bei did not know much about art, but he could tell that Zhou Mann's artistic skills were very strong. Every single detail was extremely lifelike, but if the person in the picture was him, she would feel that it was even weirder.

Seeing this, Su Bei's heart skipped a beat. It couldn't be that Liu Hanyan had spoken correctly, right? Secretary Zhou really had another kind of feeling toward him. Perhaps it was because she was working in an office, but Su Bei had always thought that Zhou Mann's way of bringing people was due to her work attitude. However, if it was not because she was interested in him, why would she draw these paintings, and even put them on without clothes.

Of course, Su Bei would not think that Zhou Mann was some random girl. He could imagine that after work every day, in this room that did not even have a television, Zhou Mann could only kill time by painting. As she recalled her own appearance, or even her own fantasies, she drew these paintings. If she hadn't happened to uncover this mattress, she probably would never have discovered this secret.

Su Bei panicked a little, and when he thought back to Zhou Mann's meticulous attitude towards him, he was sure without a doubt that he was secretly in love with him.

Hearing the sound of high heels, Su Bei immediately put away his drawing paper and hid it under the mattress again. After calming himself down, he opened the door and went out as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

He even hummed a classic television series theme song as he raised his head to look at Su Bei. He smiled and said: "There is still one last trip, tonight I will cook at my new home, I just went to the supermarket to buy a carp. According to the rules of my hometown, you have to eat carp before moving into my new home."

"Don't be busy, why don't we go back to the hotel to eat. The company has booked a table for us in the past few days anyway, so we don't need to spend money to eat a big meal." Su Bei smiled guiltily.

"Haha, you can save money any day, but not today. Go downstairs and leave first, I've already returned the key to the landlord, packed some bedding and you can leave."
