Heng Heng's childish and handsome face was expressionless, without a word, as he stared at me coldly.
I could no longer smile at him. Putting down my blade and fork, I asked him seriously, "Heng Heng, do you know what you're saying?"
I gasped, shocked and angry at the same time.
When I saw Lou Shaotang walking towards us, I quickly adjusted my emotions and forced my tears that were almost coming out back into my stomach. I suppressed the bitterness in my heart and smiled brightly.
Lou Shaotang sat back down on his seat and looked at my plate. Seeing that there was still as much steak as before, he asked with concern, "Why aren't you eating?
"No, I was chatting with Heng Heng just now."
Lou Shaotang was surprised to hear that, "Oh? What are you talking about? "
Because it was a temporary lie, I didn't know how I should reply to that. Unexpectedly, Heng Heng interrupted me: "Auntie said that she has matters to attend to later and isn't going to fish with us."
"What's the matter?" Lou Shaotang was surprised.
I was also a little taken aback.
The meaning behind Heng Heng's words was very clear: he doesn't want to be with me anymore. Because his mood had been disturbed by what had just happened, he decided that this was good as well. Rather than forcing a smile to accompany him, it was better to not go and let himself breathe.
So I said, "Well, the manager called me just now and said something had happened in the store and I'm going over to take care of it."
"What's the situation, is it serious?" Lou Shaotang's worry was completely exposed.
"It's just a small matter. It doesn't matter." and looked at Heng Heng. Heng Heng raised the corner of his mouth into a winning smile.
I sighed to myself. It was a long way to go before I could get along with him, and it was harder than I had expected.
But I won't be discouraged, and I won't give up. I believe that one day, he will resolve his hatred towards me.
After dinner, Lou Shaotang and Heng Heng went fishing in the park. I had nowhere to go, so I wandered aimlessly on the streets. When he passed by a luxury goods store, he suddenly remembered that it would be Shu Qiao's birthday in a few days, and decided to buy a bag for her.
As soon as I entered the shop, the clerk greeted me warmly and asked me if I needed anything. I smiled and said I'd take a look around and went straight to the box area.
In front of the mirror, a woman was holding two bags. Since my attention was on the bags, I looked up and was surprised to see her face.
"Which one do you think is better?" Mina looked in the mirror and asked the man beside her in his usual sweet, greasy voice.
I looked at the man and was surprised once again. It was Wang Gongzi from the Qian Da Group.
Wang Gongzi was famous for being a network red, young model harvester, with three thousand beauties in the harem. He had been dating with the same woman for no longer than three months. However, even though he knew that he was just playing, his looks and figure were still hilarious.
But the women were still eager to be played. The reason is not just the word "money" because sleeping with him for three months is better than 30 years of hard work for others.
He was in the same circle as Ji Tang and Zhong Ruoqing's brother Zhong Haojie, but what was different about him was that although he was dissolute, he did not lose out in terms of business, and he had a good sense of business acumen. Even though he was only the Vice President of Qian Da Corporation now, he would definitely inherit the company in the future.
Besides, he was the only one in their group who hadn't teased me. So I had a fair impression of him.
When it comes to Zhong Haojie, I have to mention once again, I just heard from Lou Shaotang not long ago that the one who crippled him was him. I was particularly shocked to learn of it, and I remember hating him for his indifference. I blame him why didn't he say it earlier. Lou Shaotang just smiled and did not explain. Actually, I know that he never liked to talk about his kindness and devotion to me.
Ever since he became a cripple, Zhong Haojie had played around even more fiercely than before, probably because he wanted revenge. He did not take women to be human, and played with fake things, and had played with her a few times until she was sent to the hospital. Zhong Ruoqing not only had to busy himself with "Liz", he also had to busy himself with cleaning up his butt every two or three days. Having such a little brother could be considered her 'good fortune'.
"Why pick? I want both."
Wang Gongzi said heroically, he turned and caught a glimpse of me, and his expression was startled for a moment, and then he walked towards me.
Seeing the big and small shopping bags in his hands, he couldn't help but think of the joke number that the entertainment company had given him, "Buy Tee".
I smiled to myself. This is indeed a well-deserved reputation.
"What a coincidence, Lou Taitai." He came up to me and greeted me. His tone was formal and polite, but his smile was casual.
I smiled at him politely. "Coincidence." Look at Mina.
After a few days of not seeing her, she had changed into a different person. She was covered in famous brands all over her body, and her status had improved by quite a bit.
I sneered in my heart, looks like I'm hooked on Wang Gongzi.
He had just watched the news yesterday and said that Wang Gongzi had recently broken up with his popular girlfriend "Jiejie" for a little boy model. He didn't expect it to be her.
When he saw her pestering Lou Shaotang and saying that she wouldn't mind her reputation and wanted to be his mistress, he thought that she really liked Lou Shaotang. But now it looked like it was all an act, a different tactic to make Lou Shaotang sleep with her, and support her further.
Hehe, I was indeed a bit careful with the machine. My understanding of her brainlessness has improved, and my understanding of her shamelessness has deepened.
"Lou Taitai."
When she saw me looking at her, Mina greeted me respectfully. Her expression didn't look as frightened as before, but there was still a trace of fear in her eyes.
I curled my lips contemptuously in response.
"I heard from the marketing department that you intend to open an experience store at our 'Kendall' department store?" Wang Gongzi asked me as he placed one hand in his pocket and the other hand's shopping bag on the sofa.
He was talking about my new plan for the "Ya Yan". I am going to open a few products experience shop, specially for the consumer beauty care, the nature of the similar beauty salon. But the difference was, the products used were all "Ya Yan", and each person only had one experience per set of products.
This idea was proposed by Lou Shaotang's father on the day of his death last time, when we were discussing the "Ya Yan" development strategy on the road. He said that this was to promote the sale of products, and to open up a test for the future "Ya Yan" professional SPA museum.
It had to be said that Lou Shaotang kept his business world open for a long time. Others could only think of 3 steps, he could think of 10 steps after that. If he lost the battle with Qiao Chenfei this time, it would be an enormous loss to "Tianyue".
But I firmly believe that he won't lose!
"Yes, you're well-informed."
I mailed the plan to their marketing department last night, and he found out so quickly. His dedication to his work and the importance he attaches to his career were evident.
I couldn't help but admire him.
"I've read the proposal and it's written very well." Wang Gongzi praised me generously too.
Of course! Lou Shaotang wrote 70% of the proposal, how could it not be good?
However, the reason why Lou Shaotang helped me write them was not because he was worried that I was not proficient enough, but because he wanted to "set up a bed" with me. However, my movements were slow, and I couldn't finish writing even after 10 o'clock. It took me at least half an hour to finish writing what I needed to do for at least three hours.
I gave him two words: "Ox Fork!"
Then he turned into a runaway horse and galloped.
"What are you laughing at?"
Wang Gongzi's question pulled me back to reality. Only now did I realize that the corner of my mouth had unknowingly curved into a sweet smile.
"Since you think it's good, does it mean that I can enter?" I asked tentatively, putting my smile away.
Although it was said to be a middle tier department store, the brands inside were all well-known, and Wang Gongzi wanted to upgrade it to the "Tianyue Center" level. As a result, the requirements for the brand name had been much more strict compared to before. That's why I've been so serious this time about writing plans and submitting them to them.
"Tomorrow afternoon?" I went over the schedule in my head. "Okay, what time?"
"Say it, it's convenient for you."
Wang Gongzi released the hand that was holding onto the shopping bag and put it into his pocket.
I glanced at the shopping bags lying on the sofa. A few clothes and bags were strewn across the floor.
"How about three?"
"Alright, then I won't disturb you guys, take your time."
I turned around and saw Mina, who had been standing in front of the mirror foolishly, staring at me. The fear in her eyes didn't subside and there were a few mixed emotions, one which seemed to be jealousy, one which was admiration, one which seemed to be indignation, and one which seemed to be adoration.
I smiled coldly, straightened my back, and walked out of the shop proudly and confidently.
Just as I was about to enter a shopping mall to take a stroll, I received a call from Lou Shaotang, saying that they had recovered and asked where I was.
"So fast?" I was surprised, thinking that they would need at least two more hours.
"It's going to rain soon, so it should be done earlier."
"Is it going to rain?" I looked up at the glass ceiling. The sky that had been so clear was now completely dark.
I'm not surprised, this is how Seagull's summer is, like a child's face that changes when you say so.
"Where are you now?" Lou Shaotang asked me again.
I told him that I was to wait for him here and that he was to come to pick me up and bring me back to Garden with him.
I went back outside the store and stood by the glass door, waiting. Before long, bean-sized drops of rain began to fall.
Even though it was outside the mall, there was a large glass edge on the roof. Passersby all rushed here to take shelter from the rain.
He saw two more people running towards him. They were a man and a woman, their arms intertwined and their other hands covering their heads to block the rain.
Soon they were at my side. I ignored it, still watching the rain get heavier and heavier ahead of me.
"I already told you to bring an umbrella when it rains, so I won't listen." "Look, they've made a spotted dog out of her new dress."
When I heard the woman's voice, I was slightly surprised and turned to look at her.
It really was her!
I couldn't help but laugh. What day was it today? Why did I meet people I knew everywhere?
