Mr. Zhang, the host today, said with a smile: "This is a friend of mine, Miss Xue. Like Mr. Lin, she also came back from the United States to start a business. Today's meeting, I invited her too."
Then Miss Xue stood up and extended her hand to Lin Mochen: "Mr. Lin, hello, I'm Xue Ning. You can call me Serena."
Lin Mochen smiled lightly and shook hands with her: "Hello Serena."
Xue Ning smiled lightly: "I've heard your name in America, Jason."
Mr. Zhang, who was on the side, interjected: "Oh? Miss Xue graduated from Cornell University in the United States. Is it a coincidence that you two are alumni?"
Lin Mochen replied, "I graduated from Columbia University."
Someone next to him said with a smile: "They are all foreign famous college students, amazing!"
Xue Ning smiled lightly, and then extended her hand to Mu Hanxia: "Manager Mu, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Even at the first sight of her, she was amazed by the outstanding appearance of her sitting alone. At this moment, the official face-to-face, Mu Hanxia was still slightly startled.
Xue Ning is so beautiful. Black hair and jade face, clear eyes and red lips. It is the kind of dignified and elegant beauty that is rare. Looking at her clothes, you can't see the brand, but the texture is very good and the style is exquisite. And her temperament is very good, those eyes are like warm black gems, staring at you, makes your heart move. Mu Hanxia held her hand like a piece of nephrite.
Touching her soft gaze, Mu Hanxia's heart trembled silently, and said with a smile, "Hello Serena."
"President Lin, Miss Xue, please take your seat." President Zhang said.
Xue Ning raised her head and glanced at Lin Mochen, he bowed slightly and motioned for the lady to go first. Xue Ning smiled and lowered her eyes, but this one was already glittering. The two walked over and sat down together.
Mu Hanxia's heart slid through a strong thought: These two people seem to be such a good match!
Gongchou staggered, laughing loudly.
From Mu Hanxia's point of view, Lin Mochen, who was slightly blushing after drinking alcohol, was even more handsome and dignified when he was sitting among the businessmen. He would occasionally laugh with Xue Ning next to him. The two of them didn't know what to say, Xue Ning's face was also red, and her eyes were full of brilliance.
Then Mr. Xie toasted a circle of wine, and also toasted to Xue Ning. Xue Ning waved her hand to indicate that she would not drink a drop of alcohol, but then Mr. Xie refused and had to persuade him again. Xue Ning frowned slightly, and President Zhang stopped her: "Xie Lin, why don't you have a good eye for it?" Lin Mochen smiled slightly at this moment, and raised his glass to smooth the game: "Mr. Xie is too partial, and only talks to beautiful ladies. Drink, why don't you have a few more drinks with my partner?"
Xie Lin snorted and fucked Lin Mochen, and this little episode was over. Xue Ning poured a cup of hot tea with her own hands, handed it to Lin Mochen, and asked in a low voice, "Jason, are you okay?"
Lin Mochen smiled lightly: "It's fine." Xue Ning reached out and gently squeezed his arm, signaling him not to drink any more. Lin Mochen glanced at her hand, smiled and nodded.
Mu Hanxia was always smiling and socializing with the people next to her. It was just that the surroundings were so lively, she suddenly felt a little dazed. My heart is like a bottle of bitter water that has been knocked over. It is light, astringent, and silently flowing. Only a few times, she felt Lin Mochen's eyes fall on her.
Somehow, during the dinner, they talked about the two people's study experience in the United States. Suddenly someone asked, "Manager Mu is so young and promising, he must have graduated from a famous school, right?" So everyone looked at Mu Hanxia.
Mu Hanxia was stunned for a moment, then said, "I didn't…"
Lin Mochen suddenly interrupted her: "I can invite talents like Manager Mu to help me, but it's not something that doesn't matter such as education."
Everyone was startled, then smiled and said yes. This topic was taken away.
Mu Hanxia stopped talking, looked up, and Lin Mochen happened to be looking at her. The two looked at each other and then separated.
After the dinner was over, everyone went downstairs, and President Zhang sent a car to take Lin Mochen and Mu Hanxia to the hotel where they were staying. Xue Ning also had a full-time driver waiting, and it turned out to be a Bentley.
Everyone asked the lady to go first, Xue Ning walked to the car, but turned around: "Jason, about what you said just now, about the preferential policies for local business start-ups in Lin City..."
Lin Mochen walked over and continued to chat with her.
Mu Hanxia stood there, looking up at the crystal curtain-like fountain at the entrance of the hotel, as well as the neon flowing light and shadow, a little distracted.
After a while, Lin Mochen came back, and Bentley also drove away. He glanced at Mu Hanxia: "Let's go."
The driver in the car is Mr. Zhang's person, so naturally the two of them don't talk much. Lin Mochen closed his eyes all the way, while Mu Hanxia looked at the night view of Lin City outside the window. After arriving at the hotel, Mu Hanxia went to check in first, and then the two took the elevator upstairs.
There was no one else in the elevator, it seemed quiet and empty. Lin Mochen said, "Go to bed early, there are still many things to do tomorrow."
Mu Hanxia: "Yes."
Seeing her extremely silent appearance, Lin Mochen stopped talking.
"Ding—" At the door of the elevator, the two walked out and entered the room each.
The hotel was previously ordered by Lin Mochen, and it was a five-star hotel. Mu Hanxia had never stayed in such a good hotel in his life, it was resplendent, clean and elegant. But she was lying on the bed, tossing and turning but couldn't sleep. After a while, I realized that I was hungry. Where can I eat well at the kind of dinner just now
She got up and got out of bed and left the room.
After Lin Mochen returned to his room, he took a shower, lay on the bed, and picked up his phone. The first thing I saw was the phone number that Xue Ning had just left him. Xue Ning's beautiful and generous appearance appeared in his mind. Although her background is still unclear, but to be respectfully treated as a guest by President Zhang and others, this woman's background is definitely not small. What is rare is that she is also a very comfortable woman.
After a moment of silence, his eyes appeared again, Mu Hanxia was extremely quiet but absent-minded at the banquet today. He threw away his cell phone, picked up the intercom phone in the room, and dialed the number in the next room. Before the connection was reached, a habitual smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
But no one answered.
—
There is a small street not far from the hotel. At this time, when the lanterns were just on, all kinds of late-night snack stalls were set up, and the fragrance pierced into people's noses. Mu Hanxia felt cordial when she saw it, so she found a cleaner stall and sat down. I ordered kebabs and beer, and I was doing homework with the boss, leaving all those messes behind, so I was so happy.
Who would have thought that after eating half of it, I received a text message from Lin Mochen: "Where are you?"
Mu Hanxia watched for a while and replied, "I'm having a late night snack."
"address?"
She sends him the location.
Not long after, I saw him walking over from the street. Mu Hanxia bit a potato and looked at him through the gray sky. He changed out of his suit and wore a dark blue casual jacket, looking unexpectedly handsome and clear.
Mu Hanxia didn't want to watch more.
He walked over to her table, glanced around, and finally sat down.
"Is something wrong?" Mu Hanxia asked.
He looked at her coldly: "In the middle of the night, in an unfamiliar city, you are running alone. Who is responsible for the accident?"
Mu Hanxia smiled and said, "I'm sorry. I think it's quite close to the hotel, and there are a lot of people here. According to my rich experience in eating supper, it's fine. Then... do you want to eat some?"
"No need."
Mu Hanxia no longer persuaded him, but ordered another eggplant that he liked. After a while, it was baked and served. She took off the pair of chopsticks, grinded it carefully, and handed it to him: "Try it? This one tastes pretty good."
He glanced at her, reached out to take it, and took a sip.
The two just ate supper, and no one mentioned anything about tonight or Xue Ning. Under the soft street lights, the smoke of the barbecue rose up. Someone riding a bicycle lightly passed by them, Mu Hanxia raised his head and smiled at him from time to time, eating deliciously and contentedly.
Lin Mochen originally came quietly, but he didn't expect that it would be so natural in the end, like a young man, accompany her to eat barbecue on the street. And in his heart, there was a calm like a light.
After eating, Mu Hanxia asked for money, but Lin Mochen paid for the order. The two walked along the lighted path, all the way to the quiet road in the dead of night, and then to the underside of the brightly lit hotel building. Mu Hanxia suddenly remembered the night the two of them last saw each other in Jiangcheng, and it was the same, walking quietly all the way. Then he stabbed her mercilessly.
If this man doesn't speak, you will never see his heart.
At the door of Mu Hanxia's room, she smiled and looked up at him: "Good night, Jason."
Lin Mochen looked at her, his eyes as dark as night.
"Good night, Summer."
The author has something to say:
I didn't expect that I would mention the stalk of 32b for the third time. The thing is, you all know that the heroine of this story has a prototype? Yesterday, she came to me and just left a light word: The prototype clearly has 34D! Me: … I’m sorry, the plot needs it. In addition, a reader left a message yesterday saying that if you don't like Brother Lin like this, it's not good for the heroine. What I want to say is that he is really real in my heart. A successful man in the business, Li Zhicheng's background in the military is considered an anomaly, Lin Mochen is the real thing, how can they give their sincerity so easily. As an author, I don't think I can mislead you, in case you get on a man's pirate ship in the future, right? Help you see their true colors! ! Of course... Brother Lin is actually the best one among them. I love his shrewdness and cares, and I hope you love him too.
