The lounge is in the corridor behind the banquet hall, and the security work has been obviously strengthened here. There are several hotel security guards standing at the entrance of the corridor. When they saw Zhou Jing and me coming, the two security guards immediately came up to meet them.
Zhou Jing took a look at me, and took out a golden invitation card. The expressions of the two security guards were several times more respectful, and then they welcomed us into the corridor.
There are small lounges here. Obviously, if Zhou Jing hadn't brought me in, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to enter this place! Because I saw an obvious area division outside the corridor: the VIP area.
Obviously Zhou Jing belongs to the category of VIP, but I am not. We were able to come in only because of the golden invitation card in his hand.
We asked for a separate small lounge, which was temporarily converted from a small private room in a hotel, but it was well-equipped, with a small wine cabinet and a soft sofa.
Entering the lounge, the door was closed immediately, Zhou Jing sat down on the single sofa casually, then took out a cigar from his arms and threw it to me: "Kohiba, Century 5. You can smoke this brand Are you used to it?"
I took a look at it in my hand, then lightly threw it back to him, and said with a faint smile: "I still don't smoke this, I'm used to smoking, the smell of cigars is too strong, I'm not used to it."
A complex smile appeared on Zhou Jing's face, as if he was thinking: "Young people, you should actually be brave enough to try new things..."
"I've tried it before, but I really don't like it, so there's no need to force yourself." I smiled and took out the cigarette case in my coat pocket.
Zhou Jing didn't say anything, just found a cigar cutter from the wine cabinet, took out a lighter and lit it.
The Cohiba Century No. 5 he smokes is a very expensive cigar, originally made in Cuba, and costs more than 200 RMB per stick. I have seen this kind of cigar in Jinbi Brilliance before. Zhou Jing was undoubtedly a real cigar smoker, with an expression of enjoyment on his face, and then pointed to another sofa beside him: "Sit down."
I don't like being passive all the time, so I just said first: "Mr. Zhou, you asked me to come in together, you must have something to tell me?"
"Well, you are very direct, and I like direct people." Zhou Jing's eyes were hidden behind the blue smoke, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "That's right, Chen Yang, I hope you can do me a favor."
"What?"
Holding a cigar in one hand, Zhou Jing patted the sofa arm twice with the other, and said slowly, "It's about Miss Fang. Frankly speaking, I have a crush on her. So I want to ask you a favor."
I shook my head: "Mr. Zhou, I'm afraid I can't help you. I'm just Miss Fang's subordinate."
"My request is very simple." Zhou Jing puffed out a puff of smoke slowly, smiling confidently: "I just want to know one thing, tonight, Miss Fang will come to this charity gala, and at the auction later, Does she have any auction items she wants?"
My eyes lit up, and I pretended to cough to cover it up, and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Zhou...you mean, you want to please her?"
"There are a lot of precious jewels in tonight's auction... Women like jewelry, don't they?" Zhou Jing smiled confidently: "I think you are her assistant, she must have read the brochure of tonight's auction before coming here , did she pay attention to anything in particular?"
This guy is really hardworking!
I already know his plan, he probably wants to take pictures of what Fang Nan wants in public, and then solemnly give it to Fang Nan... Such a move is a good way to win the favor of women.
Of course, it is also a typical way for rich men to chase women.
Thinking of this, I suddenly had a thought in my heart...
"Is this..." I made a troubled expression on my face.
"I never let others do anything for me for nothing." Zhou Jing smiled, then took out a checkbook from her arms, tore off a checkbook, and pushed it to the table in front of me: "You just need Just do me a small favor. One hundred thousand, buy an information, this price should be very fair."
Damn, after all, he is a rich man with deep pockets, and in order to please a woman, he throws out 100,000 yuan before anything happens!
Zhou Jing looked into my eyes and said slowly, "How is it? I know that since Ms. Fang came to participate in this auction tonight, she must have taken a fancy to something."
Needless to say, he guessed right.
Because when I saw the brochure in the car during the day, I did see one of the items listed in the brochure, which was circled by Fang Nan with a pen.
It was a diamond brooch, worth about two hundred thousand. Probably Fang Nan is going to take this thing back tonight.
"Mr. Zhou." I deliberately showed a bit of trouble on my face: "You make me very embarrassed... I am Miss Fang's subordinate, and I don't want to disclose her affairs, especially those involving personal aspects. "
Zhou Jing smiled, his expression wasn't even the slightest bit dissatisfied, he was still smiling happily, and then quickly spit out a few words: "Two hundred thousand."
I still shook my head: "I really can't say."
I said this sentence on purpose. I said "I can't tell", but I didn't say "I don't know", I just hinted to the other party that I do know Fang Nan's goal tonight!
Zhou Jing sighed, stared into my eyes, as if casually, and said lightly: "Young man, you can't be too greedy. Let's do this, three hundred thousand, such a price to buy a piece of information is simply more expensive than the CIA. "
He wrote another check casually and pushed it in front of me.
This time I really laughed, picked up the check calmly, flicked it lightly in my hand, and put it in my arms.
"Miss Fang has two goals for tonight." I smiled and said, "The first is a diamond brooch produced by the French jewelry family, and it's Lot No. 3 tonight."
Zhou Jing nodded: "Well, I know, Cangyu seems to be very interested in that thing too. It's worth 200,000 yuan, which is really good." Then he glanced at me again: "What about the other target?"
"Lot No. 5." With a calm face, I said slowly in a calm tone, "That is a ring, shaped like double rings of diamonds, and it was donated by Mr. Herod, the European shipping magnate."
Zhou Jing thought for a while, then frowned and said, "That ring? That ring doesn't seem to be suitable for women... But it's not a problem."
Then there was a smile on his face: "Okay, thank you for the news." Then he took out a business card from his arms and handed it to me: "This is my phone number, young man, I hope we can contact more often, I may still I will ask you for help."
After finishing speaking, he had already stood up, tidied his clothes, and took a deep look at me: "Working with a beautiful woman like Fang Nan, you must be very happy, right?" Then he stared into my eyes: " You'd better forget about our conversation just now, and I don't want you to mention Miss Fang."
I immediately put on a smile: "Please don't worry."
Zhou Jing nodded, then casually pressed the cigar out in the ashtray, then turned and walked out of the lounge.
I looked at the time, less than five minutes had passed.
Sighing, I took a deep breath on the cigarette, glanced at the cigar I had just smoked in the ashtray, and shook my head with a wry smile: "Prodigal! Cohiba Century 5, more than two hundred yuan a stick, two puffs is enough Throw it away... huh."
Want to soak up Fang Nan? Hmph, think about it slowly!
I've started thinking about another thing.
That ring, if I rely on myself, there is absolutely no hope that I can buy it tonight. But now that Zhou Jing is being taken advantage of, let him pay for the auction, no matter how much he spends for the auction, he will give it to Fang Nan in the end...
As long as the ring is in Fang Nan's hands, at least the ring will be within my sight from now on. The difficulty will also be reduced a lot in the future...
Anyway, Fang Nan may not like this ring. I will find a way to let her transfer it to me in the future. It is not hopeless.
The most urgent task is to prevent the ring from falling into the hands of others!
There's only so much I can do now.
Zhou Jing... I think your surname should not be Zhou, but Yuan! Change the name to be wronged!
I laughed happily for a while, and after I finished smoking a cigarette, I walked out of the lounge.
"Sir, do you need anything else?" A man in uniform greeted him immediately.
"No more." I thought for a while and sighed: "Please ask someone to bring me a glass of warm water."
Back at the banquet hall, Zhou Jing didn't know where to go, and I walked to the seat alone, holding a glass of warm water in my hand.
Cang Yu was talking to Fang Nan, Cang Yu seemed to be asking Fang Nan some questions, Fang Nan's expression was a little unnatural, and he just shook his head, but did not speak. Cangyu sighed, seemingly helpless. Seeing me coming, he frowned and said, "Why are you back? Where is Mr. Zhou?"
I shrugged my shoulders: "I'm not used to smoking cigars, Mr. Zhou probably went to chat with other guests." Then I handed Fang Nan the glass of warm water.
Fang Nan looked up at me, his eyes were gentle, and he smiled and said, "Thank you."
I nodded: "It's nothing, I'm your assistant, and it's my duty to take care of you." As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly felt that my leg under the table was kicked. Cangyu looked at me and said with a smile: "Chen Yang , dance with me."
Before I could speak, she had already turned her head to look at Fang Nan: "You won't be reluctant to lend me your assistant for a few minutes?"
Fang Nan's face turned red, and his expression was a little awkward, and he gave her a sideways glance: "What nonsense! You want to dance, just ask him yourself."
I quickly stood up, stretched out my hand and made an invitation: "Miss Cangyu, please."
At this moment, the dance music has changed back to a soft tune, and Cangyu and I walked into the dance floor hand in hand, and then gently hugged her soft waist with one hand. I felt Cangyu's body stiffen for two seconds, and I suddenly remembered the scene when I hugged her in the bathroom just now, and I couldn't help laughing out loud.
Cangyu has returned to normal, and sighed: "Chen Yang, I'm starting to regret it."
"What do you regret?" I danced slowly with my arms around her, and our bodies were stuck together.
"I regret introducing you to Fang Nan's work." Cang Yu's tone was a bit unfriendly: "I warned you just now, you'd better not get yourself into trouble..." Glaring at me, he said in a low voice: "Fang Nan is not what you should do." The provoking woman, have I made this clear enough?"
I sighed on purpose: "Cangyu, answer me a few questions first... Am I handsome?"
"?" Cangyu looked at me suspiciously, but seeing that I didn't seem to be joking, she smiled and said: "It's not bad, ordinary people are pretty good, but that's all."
I nodded to express my approval of her evaluation, and asked again: "Then let me ask you again, am I rich and powerful?"
"Of course not." Cang Yu replied very simply: "I know almost everything about you."
"Yes, or do you think I'm particularly feminine? Is it that kind of high-level love killer?"
Cang Yu pursed her lips and smiled: "You don't seem to be either."
"That's fine." I sighed: "I'm just an ordinary person, and now I can at most be regarded as a migrant worker with a decent income. I know Fang Nan's identity better than you. A man like me , will she see it? So... don't worry. "
"But… "
"But I look a lot like a man Fang Nan knew before, don't I?" I curled my lips and said with a sneer, "Miss Cangyu, do you think this is a movie? What is resemblance? Super imitation show! My appearance will at most remind her of the past. When this emotion subsides, a smart woman like Fang Nan will easily understand that I am me, not the person in her heart !"
Without waiting for Cangyu to say anything, I quickly said, "Be careful with that guy Zhou Jing, he's trying to trick Fang Nan."
Cang Yu sneered: "Him? He is hopeless. Zhou Jing doesn't know Fang Nan's details. If he finds out about Fang Nan, if he lends him the guts, he won't dare to touch Fang Nan!"
My heart skipped a beat... Does Fang Nan have any powerful background
Cangyu looked at me, and said seriously: "Chen Yang...you'd better be quiet. I found this job for you, and I hope you can work hard, earn money, live a normal life as an ordinary person... this It's also Brother Huan's expectation of you."
I smiled, and looked indifferent: "Don't worry. At least I don't want to provoke Fang Nan now."
Hmph, if I really wanted to play Fang Nan's idea, I would have already succeeded at her house this afternoon.
Of course, this matter cannot be discussed with Cang Yu.
The two of us stopped talking and danced to the music. Cang Yu's dancing skills are very skilled, compared with her, I am not at the same level at all. My mind wasn't on dancing though.
I was thinking in my heart, when Zhou Jing gave Fang Nan the ring, how would I get Fang Nan to accept it? Or, after Fang Nan accepts it, how should I get the ring
And the 300,000 in my arms.
I plan to give it to Fang Nan, and it will be regarded as returning her the compensation for yesterday's accident.
I don't like being in debt to people, especially women.
In fact, I can appreciate Cangyu's kindness. I was willing to live the life of an ordinary person.
But the problem is, after I learned that everything about the ring is true... I hold such a magical ring in my hand... Is it possible for me to continue to live an ordinary life
The answer is obviously: NO!
I was a little distracted, looking around, suddenly, I seemed to see somewhere on the left, a figure flashed by in the distance...
My heart skipped a beat! Surprised, I accidentally took a step slower and stepped on Cangyu's instep. Cangyu frowned, and there was some pain between her brows. I just came back to my senses, and quickly pulled her aside, and said with a wry smile: " Are you OK?"
"It's okay." Cang Yu sighed: "Are you poor at dancing, or are you distracted?"
I smiled: "A little bit."
Then I let go of Cangyu and walked back slowly. Cang Yu followed me, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Be careful Zhou Jing, this person is very difficult to provoke, you'd better not provoke him."
I nod.
Is it hard to mess with? I just killed him mercilessly.
When walking back to the seat, the music suddenly stopped, and then the president of the charity organization walked to the center and announced loudly with a microphone, ten minutes later, the auction will start!
But I couldn't stop searching around, hoping to find the figure I saw just now.
impossible? That person shouldn't appear here... Could it be that I read it wrong
