Xia Zhifang put his arms on the armrests and said with some anxiety: "Lai Qianxiu may be dismissed from his position as general manager, and may also be prohibited from handling personal property."
Xiao Long said angrily, "Lai Qianxiu is the backbone of the store, and it is all thanks to her that the store is what it is today. They have no reason to get rid of Lai Qianxiu!"
"However, the store is joint-stock. Lai Qianxiu spent a lot of money to support you, so she must be suspected of abusing her power. Besides, she did not clearly separate the company's money and her personal money."
"Whose idea was this?" Xiao Long suddenly stood up from his chair.
"You'd better pay attention to the purchasing secretary over there."
"Is it Shangcun?"
"Yes, Shang Cun, he is from Lai Qianxiu's husband's faction, you'd better be cautious."
"That old man didn't dare to raise his head when he saw Lai Qianxiu."
"No matter how useless he is, if he has a counselor, it will be a different matter."
Listening to Xia Zhifang's words, Xiao Long gradually became restless. As he said, Xiao Long felt inexplicably disgusted when he saw Shang Cun. Even if they met in the store, he would never say hello properly, but the other party was extremely polite to him. Xiao Long once heard Lai Qianxiu mention that Shangcun was a very capable person. If he was really smart, he would probably secretly advise Lai Qianxiu's husband like Xia Zhifang said.
Xiao Long came out of Xia Zhifang's house and carefully placed the tea bowl on the passenger seat.
Xiao Long did not dare to take Xia Zhifang's words lightly. So far, his words have basically come true. He is really an unpredictable man. He is just thirty-five years old, but at first glance he looks like he is over forty: his hair is sparse and mixed with white hair, bald, wide forehead, high nose bridge, and thick lips , The chin is pointed and the wrinkles are deep.
When he walked out of the entrance just now, Xia Zhifang specially sent Xiao Long out and asked: "How is Longzhu?" He rarely asked with a smile like this. After Xiao Long answered truthfully, Xia Zhifang showed a mocking expression.
While driving, Xiao Long kept thinking about what Xia Zhifang said. If he continued to be confused like this, he might lose an important way to make money. He must tell Lai Qianxiu quickly.
After stopping the car, he called Lai Qianxiu's store. She was not there. He called her home again and did not return. When he put down the phone, Long Zhu's name suddenly flashed in Xiao Long's mind.
Long Zhu sounded in a good mood yesterday, which inspired Xiao Long to call her again. It is stupid to call a woman every day. If you keep calling her for several days, then suddenly there is no news at all. I guess you will call her when she thinks of you. According to the psychology of ordinary women, the calls you receive every day will be suddenly interrupted. On the contrary, Xiao Long will become more concerned about this, and Xiao Long happily uses this phone tactic, and the effect is very obvious.
Xiao Long called the phone and was informed as usual that Long Zhu was not in the store. However, this time, Xiao Long noticed that the other party's voice was not the female apprentice who answered the phone in the past, and the other party did not seem to recognize Xiao Long's voice.
"Hello, I'm Jiming. I asked you to make a design here a few days ago, and I suddenly want to change it. If I contact the landlady, I want to tell her immediately. Where is she?" Xiao Long pretended to be a customer. Call up.
"I said I went to the beauty salon."
"Really? Then about what time will she come back?"
"Maybe I'll be back in two hours."
"Thank you." Xiao Long looked at his watch: four o'clock. Long Zhu will return to the store at six o'clock, and Xiao Long writes down the time.
After returning home, Xiao Long put the antique tea bowl on his display shelf and admired it repeatedly. It was an unexpected good thing. Among all his collections so far, it was the best. Xiao Long was very satisfied.
Xiao Long stared at the tea bowl, and the image of the dragon ball appeared in his mind. The clerk said he would have to wait for two hours, but Xiao Long didn't have to wait like that. Long Zhu often went to a regular beauty salon, and Xiao Long had occasionally heard her say before that it was a high-end beauty salon located in a commercial street. Returning to the dean's office, Xiao Long checked his phone address book and dialed the number of the beauty salon.
Xiao Long and Long Zhu came to a club. The setting sun shone on the windows, and the branches of the cedar trees swayed gently in the wind.
"Miss Longzhu," Xiao Long said during the dance, "have you thought about what I mentioned to you last time?" Xiao Long was referring to the proposal.
Long Zhu didn't answer immediately, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he still shook his body slightly and moved his steps.
"I can't wait any longer. It's really painful to keep waiting like this." Xiao Long hugged her and turned his face away. Opposite him, a tall foreigner was bending hard and pressing his face against the woman's cheek. Jumping intoxicated.
"Don't be so anxious, this is a big deal for me." Although Long Zhu said this, he did not become serious.
Longzhu's eyes are extremely charming, the bridge of his nose is high, and his lips are slightly open. As the lights on the dance floor change, the amorous feelings on her face are constantly changing.
"That's true. But I've been waiting for a long time." Xiao Long said.
"No," she retorted with a very dignified air, "How can I answer you directly? Xia Zhifang told me about this, right? If you don't tell Xia Zhifang first, you shouldn't do it." She said brightly. Smile, showing white teeth.
"Having said that, I want to hear the answer with my own ears as soon as possible. Xia Zhifang didn't say anything to me."
"That's because I haven't said anything to him yet!" She answered Xiao Long while moving her steps.
"But it's been a long time, and Ms. Longzhu's mind hasn't changed at all?"
"Yes, he is more determined than before." Longzhu replied playfully.
"Can we go out and talk?" Xiao Long asked half-jokingly.
"You're so annoying. This song isn't finished yet. Although I'm more determined, I still want to get to know you better."
These words gave Xiao Long hope. Perhaps, she has begun to seriously consider Xiao Long's proposal, but before agreeing, she still needs to examine Xiao Long carefully. If you want to investigate someone, you usually hire a private detective. Has Lai Qianxiu’s story been exposed? Wu Chen should not be found, otherwise he would be in big trouble. The matter with Lai Qianxiu is nothing, so there is no need to worry too much. Xiao Long is already middle-aged. If he doesn't have any feelings between men and women of the opposite sex, no one will believe him. He has full confidence in convincing Long Zhu about his relationship with Lai Qianxiu.
The dance ended. Xiao Long helped Long Zhu pull out the chair and asked her to sit down. Then he returned to his seat. Perhaps because of the dance just now, there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead, which glistened under the light. She took out a handkerchief from her handbag and gently wiped her forehead. The handkerchief exuded a faint scent of high-end perfume.
"Would you like another drink?" Xiao Long asked,
"No, I can't drink anymore." She winked at Xiao Long and smiled happily.
Xiao Long understood what she meant and couldn't help but feel a little excited. "It's okay, just have another drink. You'll be fine if you drink it. If anything happens, I'll take care of you."
"Really?" Long Zhu glanced at the cup and agreed to Xiao Long's proposal.
Before Xiao Long ordered a drink, a male waiter in a white uniform walked over quickly.
"Two more glasses of light wine." The waiter carefully wrote it down in his book, then walked around Xiao Long and whispered something into Long Zhu's ear. Xiao Long didn't pay much attention at first, thinking he was introducing the dishes here to her. After the waiter left, Long Zhu solemnly said to Xiao Long: "I'm sorry, I saw an acquaintance. I'll go say hello." She looked up at Xiao Long as if begging for his forgiveness. This was something she always liked to show off. Out of coquettishness.
Xiao Long looked at the figure on the dance floor and nodded slightly. He could only respond like this now. After all, she was not his woman yet, and he had no right to interfere with her freedom. Besides, he didn't want Long Zhu to think he was narrow-minded.
"Then I'll excuse you now." Long Zhu pushed away the chair and stood up, walking past Xiao Long without carrying his handbag.
Xiao Long wanted to see where she had gone, but couldn't do that right away. He forced himself to look at the stage. But he still couldn't help it. After a while, he turned around and quietly searched for Long Zhu.
There were many guests here. Under the dim light, Xiao Long could not find the dragon ball for a while. Finally, he found the dragon ball at the table in the left corner.
