Zhou Li's expression was similar to Xu Yingfei's imagination, so cold that it made people tremble.
The faint of heart would be frightened into silence by him.
Xu Yingfei was about to look outside, but Zhou Li pulled her sleeve.
Zhou Li directly dragged Xu Yingfei to the table in the corner of the coffee shop, and the two of them sat down.
——
After Jiang Mingzhu and Qin Mingli came out, they saw Jiang Jin's figure behind the car.
He stood there with a stern expression, looking like a disciplined sentinel.
Jiang Mingzhu had met Jiang Jin several times before, but except for accidentally hearing Xu Yingfei talking to him once at the birthday party, she had never heard Jiang Jin's voice again.
Fu Xiaozhi also said that Jiang Jin usually had no sense of presence. Xu Yingfei would do whatever he asked, and at most he would just nod.
Jiang Mingzhu has been mentally prepared. It will definitely be difficult to communicate with someone like Jiang Jin.
In order to make it easier to talk, Jiang Mingzhu let Qin Mingli go first.
After seeing Qin Mingli off, Jiang Mingzhu walked to Jiang Jin and stopped.
Jiang Jin had no emotional ups and downs after seeing Jiang Mingzhu, and nodded to her respectfully.
This way he acts more like a sentinel, saying nothing.
Jiang Mingzhu: "I have something to talk to you about. Can you find a place to sit for a while?"
She put forward her request straight to the point, and then saw Jiang Jin frown.
He probably didn't expect her to talk to him.
Jiang Jin turned his head and glanced at the door of the coffee shop, and then answered Jiang Mingzhu's question: "I'm waiting for Mr. Xu to come out."
Jiang Mingzhu: "You and Mr. Xu can't be separated for a moment."
She teased with a half-smile, which sounded like a heartless joke, but her eyes never forgot to observe Jiang Jin's expression.
Jiang Jin: "This is my job."
Jiang Mingzhu: "How long have you been working with Mr. Xu? Have you always been so dedicated?"
Jiang Jin: "What does Miss Jiang want from me?"
He asked instead, avoiding the question just now.
Jiang Mingzhu guessed that he didn't want to answer, so she didn't hesitate to continue asking: "I want to talk about your relationship with Mr. Xu."
Jiang Jin said nothing.
Maybe because he has experienced a lot, he has a good mental quality.
Even after hearing such words, he did not show any surprised expression, but his eyes were much sharper than before.
Jiang Mingzhu took a business card from her bag and handed it to Jiang Jin: "Contact me when it's convenient for you. I'll wait for you."
Jiang Jin lowered his eyes and stared at the business card for a few seconds, and finally took it.
——
After saying goodbye to Jiang Jin, Jiang Mingzhu went to the Sesame Foundation to find Fu Xiaozhi.
Fu Xiaozhi just happened to get Xu Yingfei's information, so Jiang Mingzhu went to the office with her to research.
Xu Yingfei is the adopted daughter of the Xu family. Her adoptive father is a well-known Chinese businessman in Detroit who started his career in automobile manufacturing. Later, his business gradually expanded and developed into the medical biotechnology industry.
Xu Yingfei was adopted by her adoptive parents at a very young age and has been raised according to the standards of a biological daughter and heir.
It is said that it was because her adoptive father was infertile.
Originally, everything was going smoothly. Xu Yingfei had excelled in studies since she was a child and had outstanding abilities. She started to be exposed to company business in high school.
But just two years ago, Xu Yingfei's adoptive father appeared out of thin air with an illegitimate son who was thirty years old this year.
Still a business wizard.
Hearing this, Jiang Mingzhu couldn't help but sigh: "What a bastard. Isn't her adoptive father infertile? How could she have a son?"
Fu Xiaozhi: "The infertility may be due to excessive sexual indulgence before, haha, man."
She made a sarcastic comment and then continued: "After having a son, he didn't want to hand over the company to Xu Yingfei. Xu Yingfei also had a lot of conflicts with her brother. It seems that the two had a quarrel on the board of directors before. She was assigned to the branch
. "
After Jiang Mingzhu heard this, she could only sigh at the harshness of the world: "Kill the donkey to kill the grindstone."
Fu Xiaozhi: "Fortunately, her adoptive mother still supports her."
Between an adopted daughter who was raised by oneself and an illegitimate child left behind by her husband's affair, anyone who can distinguish right from wrong will choose the former.
But Mrs. Xu had no right to speak, and in the end she watched Xu Yingfei being "exiled".
"But Xu Yingfei is awesome. The branch office is developing very well under her hands. In a few years, its size may exceed that of the head office." Fu Xiaozhi shared the news she learned with Jiang Mingzhu, "But her... My brother is not well-meaning, and I heard that he is already planning to rob her."
Jiang Mingzhu had guessed it when she heard Fu Xiaozhi say that the branch was developing well.
This is a common drama used by wealthy families to compete for property.
The cooperation between Xu Yingfei and Zhou Li should also have this factor.
Xu Yingfei's adoptive father is such a realistic person and will definitely maximize the value of Xu Yingfei's marriage.
Just as Jiang Mingzhu was thinking this, she heard Fu Xiaozhi say: "She and Zhou Zhou acted as a couple, probably just to cover up. How could a profit-oriented person like her adoptive father see her with a bodyguard?"
After Fu Xiaozhi paused for a moment, he touched his chin and said, "What's going on? I've already imagined a bloody emotional drama."
Jiang Mingzhu's thoughts were similar to Fu Xiaozhi's.
But as for Jiang Jin's feelings for Xu Yingfei, they are still not sure yet.
——
Jiang Mingzhu spent the entire afternoon at the Sesame Foundation.
When she was discussing with Fu Xiaozhi what to eat at night, Zheng Linxu suddenly called.
Fu Xiaozhi happened to see the caller ID on the screen of Jiang Mingzhu's mobile phone.
She turned her head to the side, the smile gradually fading from her face.
Jiang Mingzhu was busy answering the phone and didn't notice this detail.
The phone was connected, and Zheng Linxu's voice came: "Where are you?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "We're in Beicheng. Didn't we just say that that day?"
Zheng Linxu: "I was asking where you were in Beicheng. I didn't see you in the hotel."
Jiang Mingzhu: "...are you really coming to Beicheng?"
When Zhou Yi told her before, she thought he was just looking for something to say.
Unexpectedly, one day later, Zheng Linxu actually came over, "Is Sansan with you?"
Zheng Lin said: "Well, she was taken to play by Mingli."
After a pause, he added, "Come back early and have dinner together in the evening. As soon as Sansan comes over, he wants to see you."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Okay, right away."
After the phone call, Jiang Mingzhu and Fu Xiaozhi shared the news: "Zhizhi, Boss Zheng and Sansan are here. Let's have dinner with them tonight."
Fu Xiaozhi: "I won't go."
Jiang Mingzhu was slightly surprised when she heard this answer.
If it were before, Fu Xiaozhi would definitely agree without hesitation. She really liked playing with Sansan.
Fu Xiaozhi laughed twice after seeing Jiang Mingzhu's surprised look, "Someday, another day, we will take Sansan shopping. I will go home with my brother tonight to check on her. My mother called me just now."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Yeah, okay."
Fu Xiaozhi sent Jiang Mingzhu downstairs to the foundation. After watching her get into the taxi, the smile disappeared again.
She took out her phone and glanced at the message in the WeChat dialog box, her eyes dimming little by little.
