Chen Xu also looked at his boss. What Zhou Minghui said made sense. Although Shen Antu went directly to the president's office from the underground garage every time he came to Ruiqian, Xie Duo did not deliberately hide it. Now almost everyone in the company knew that Xie Duo had a lover whom he doted on very much.
Xie Duo glanced at Zhou Minghui, his face gloomy and obviously not wanting to talk about this matter, so he changed the subject directly: "If you have time to think about this, you might as well think about how to win the bid."
Zhou Minghui cursed himself for being born to worry, and then began to worry about Xie Duo's "state affairs".
After receiving Chen Xu's text message, Jiang Lai always had a bad feeling, so he called Liang Yong from the Marketing Department and Wang Yiyang from the Engineering Department to give him courage. These two people had accompanied Xie Duo to the hospital to "shock" Shen Antu.
When Jiang Lai and the other two came in the afternoon, Shen Antu happened to come down from upstairs to the kitchen to get some water and saw Zhou Minghui welcoming the three people into the house.
Shen Antu had no impression of these people. He was in a bad state that day and only remembered Xie Duo who was talking to him. He avoided Zhou Minghui and smiled and nodded at the three people behind him, looking very polite and gentle.
The moment Jiang Lai saw Shen Antu, he realized that his ominous premonition had come true. Liang Yong and Wang Yiyang could only smile awkwardly and greet him with gritted teeth.
Zhou Minghui couldn't stand Shen Antu's sheep's clothing, so he deliberately walked up to him and snapped his fingers, saying nonchalantly: "Six cups of coffee, add more sugar to my cup."
Jiang Lai and the other two secretly gasped, but Shen Antu replied without any temper: "Okay, do the next three guests have any requests?"
The trio did not dare to make any requests. Just then, Chen Xu came downstairs to greet them. The three hurriedly followed Chen Xu. Only Zhou Minghui did not move. Chen Xu looked at him inquiringly, and Zhou Minghui waved at him: "I'll help serve the coffee, you go up first."
Shen Antu was busy on the island, and Zhou Minghui stood beside him and watched. Shen Antu glanced at him and said, "Are you afraid that I will poison you?"
Zhou Minghui sneered: "What do you think?"
Shen Antu ignored him and slowly made six cups of hand-brewed coffee, added more sugar to one of them, and put them on a tray separately from the other cups and handed them to Zhou Minghui: "You said you would help carry it."
Just as Zhou Minghui was about to explode, Shen Antu lifted up the Band-Aid on his hand and shook it: "My hand is injured. When I woke up this morning, it was Xie Duo who washed my face for me."
Zhou Minghui glared at him ferociously, then climbed up to the second floor with the tray, cursing. When he was almost at the door of the study, he found Shen Antu still following him.
"I've already brought the coffee, why are you still following me?"
Shen Antu crossed his hands in front of his chest and said, "This is my home, why can't I come in?"
"Your home?" Zhou Minghui sneered, "We are discussing company secrets in there. Do you think it's appropriate for a nameless lover like you to go in?"
"What if I insist on going in?" Shen Antu did not give in.
Zhou Minghui's face turned cold: "Don't be ignorant."
Upon hearing this, Shen Antu smiled at him, then strode forward, walked around him, opened the door of the study and shouted:
"Husband, he won't let me into the study!"
Chapter 25 Secret
Xiao Shen tried to test Lao Xie's bottom line, but found that this man had no bottom line at all...
The word "husband" carries too much weight, and it silenced the study. The four people sitting next to Xie Duo all looked out the door at the same time, then quickly turned their eyes back to look at Xie Duo.
Xie Duo coughed twice to clear his throat, his face showing no emotion. He raised his chin to Shen Antu outside the door and said, "Come and sit down."
This obviously means that Shen Antu is allowed to enter the study.
So Shen Antu turned his head to look at Zhou Minghui behind him. The light from the study shone on his side face, while hiding the remaining half of his face in the backlight. He blinked slowly, and the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a sinister and smug expression that only Zhou Minghui could see.
Zhou Minghui gritted his teeth and managed to avoid splashing the coffee in his hand on his face.
The study is very large, with a row of spacious sofas in the triangular position against the wall. Jiang Lai and others were originally sitting with Xie Duo. After Shen Antu came in, they immediately gave up their seats and the four of them squeezed onto the sofa on the other side.
Zhou Minghui arrived late and there was no place for him on the sofa. Chen Xu took the initiative to stand up and make room for him, but Zhou Minghui pressed his shoulders and forced him to sit down, and he sat on the armrest of the sofa next to him.
After saying thank you, Shen Antu sat down cross-legged comfortably next to Xie Duo, leaned on his shoulder intimately, and started playing with his mobile phone.
After the deafening "husband" just now, no one reacted much when they saw him sticking to Xie Duo. The only thing that made people feel uncomfortable was his former reputation as Shen Lin.
Although he was only wearing a loose and comfortable T-shirt and trousers, with his hair loosely draped over his face, and he was sitting quietly and obediently, Jiang Lai and the others still felt an inexplicable pressure. They looked at each other awkwardly, not knowing whether the meeting should continue.
Until Xie Duo said, "Let's continue what we were saying just now."
Jiang Lai then sat forward, pretending that Shen Antu was not there, holding his stack of documents and continuing, "The city hall intends to develop characteristic tourism in that area. The information we have received is that it will move in the direction of green ecology and boost the economy of the suburban rural areas. Of course, the information we can get can also be obtained by other companies, so it is inevitable that everyone's plans will be similar. It depends on who does it better. In this regard, Ruiqian has always been the most qualified, but in recent years, the higher-ups have been interested in developing small and medium-sized enterprises. It is hard to say whether they are willing to accept us... But as for our competitor, Jinsheng..."
