Chapter 83
The bright light cast on the two of them, and gently knocked the shadows onto the woven rattan coffee table beside them.
Two shadows, one straight and one bowed.
Crooked on the coffee table, in the current office environment, it is a bit outrageous to blend and intertwine.
The door of the small room was not closed, so Xu Jinman could see straight outside as long as he raised his head slightly.
Shen Shu's shirt was buttoned three times, and the material was not too transparent, so she didn't need to wear suspenders inside.
Snow white, embroidered with simple lace on the edge.
Xu Jinman had seen this underwear on the balcony.
Xu Jinman felt that the lace pierced her face, and it was not too much to set aside a little two centimeters.
Like a soft balloon with a red stamp under the stamp.
There is a sweet milky fragrance, and you can even smell the smell of vanilla... Xu Jinman couldn't help but take a deep breath, she thought that after applying the sealant, she would never smell this smell again.
She suddenly remembered that the slow-release sealant would not block all the pheromones so quickly, and she could still feel the fluctuations of pheromones instinctively.
However, it has weakened a lot, but this level will not stimulate the attack of stress disorder.
At that moment, Xu Jinman felt that he was becoming greedy.
It's not that she is not afraid, she is afraid that one day in the future she will not be able to smell Shen Shu's pheromone smell.
"Forehead--"
Shen Shu originally supported Xu Jinman's shoulders, and the moment she poked down forcefully like a stamp, her hands unconsciously fell on Xu Jinman's head.
Two seconds later, Xu Jinman raised his eyes, his eyes were so deep that they could almost suck people in.
Xu Jinman clicked his tongue lightly, not very satisfied: "The color is really light."
Shen Shu heard the words, her cheeks were slightly red and she looked at the mark.
It's a matte lipstick, not like a lip gloss, only the shape of a lip can be vaguely seen.
Shen Shu's clear voice was slightly hoarse: "But the color of lipstick on your mouth is still very dark."
Xu Jinman: "Really?"
"Ah."
Shen Shu's eyes fell on Xu Jinman's lips, she touched the red lips with her thumb, and slid slightly to the side, the color of the lipstick slipped out of the corner of her mouth, from dark to light.
Like a layer of graffiti.
Xu Jinman raised her head slightly, her eyes were half-closed because of the light, and she seemed a little blurred in the depth.
"What are you doing?"
"Try it."
"try what?"
Shen Shu pressed her index finger on Xu Jinman's lower lip again, and drew down in the same way. The lip was pressed down, and then gently bounced back.
Inexplicable sentimentality.
Xu Jinman: "..."
Trying to wipe her lipstick all over her mouth?
"I'm leaving." Shen Shu withdrew her hand when she heard the phone message on the table.
There was very little time to hesitate, and she almost pulled away to leave. Xu Jinman's eyes dimmed, and she grabbed the person back. Because of her quick movements, Shen Shu sat on her single leg.
Xu Jinman didn't speak for a few seconds. She felt that the position above her knees seemed to be stuffy in the steamy and seawater climate of the Hawaiian coast.
The phone was buzzing and vibrating, Shen Shu was really late.
She got up quickly, took the mobile phone on the table and went out.
"The clothes are not buttoned." Xu Jinman reminded from behind.
Shen Shu pursed her lips, stood at the door and said, "It's all your fault."
Xu Jinman didn't accept it, raised his eyebrows and retorted with a smile: "Why do you blame me for asking me to change places?"
Shen Shu glanced back, Xu Jinman changed her words and said, "Okay, blame me."
When the people left, Xu Jinman lowered his eyes, moved his eyes from his knees up, silent for a few seconds, and then lay down again.
She can still smell Shen Shu's pheromones, and she can also feel for Shen Shu's pheromones.
But maybe in a few years, a few months, or even a shorter period of time, she will slowly lose this taste.
Thinking of this, Xu Jinman turned his face to the side and looked at the world outside the glass window.
A peaceful and unchanging world.
It seemed that the mood became quieter for a moment.
Shen Shu returned to the filming crew and took a break two hours later. Tong Jia put the fruit cake in front of her and said, "Boss Xu brought it back this afternoon, do you want to eat it?"
Shen Shu took a look, and still took a small fork and took two bites into her mouth: "I weighed up a little in the morning, so let's control it recently."
"How much has it increased?"
"One or two."
Tong Jia: "?"
Tong Jia: "As expected of you, I suddenly feel that my manager is really unworthy."
Artists are stricter than her.
"Boss Xu gave you an extra meal because he saw that you were eating too little." Tong Jia took a big bite and said, "But it is indeed a bit sweet, or it may be that the dog food you sprinkled is too sweet."
Listening to her serious words, Shen Shu bent her lower lip.
While talking, she looked up and saw Xia Chun walking over with the script.
Looking at the smile on Shen Shu's face, Xia Chun was slightly absent-minded, but quickly recovered, stepped forward and said with a smile, "I wonder if you can check with me, I think there seems to be another line for the next scene. different intonations to try."
Since the last time she called Shen Shu in the middle of the night, her mind has calmed down a lot.
She could hear the voice on the phone that day, and she could guess what Shen Shu and Xu Jinman were doing.
She thought for a long time, is she really better than Xu Jinman?
How many times of hesitation has become an important factor in hurting Shen Shu.
If she didn't go abroad at that time, if at that time she knew that Shen Shu's grandmother passed away, and knew how much Shen Shu needed her, if at that time she didn't obey the arrangement of the brokerage company and admit that she was single... If she saw the perverted woman that day When silhouetted, she should be more cautious, not so lucky, even if she reminded Shen Shu to be careful...
If she can be more decisive at those times.
Will it be different?
It's a pity that things in this world don't have a chance to come back.
Shen Shu likes Xu Jinman, it's not that she can't see it, but she has been unwilling to accept it, insisting on taking it as Shen Shu's acting.
In fact...it was just her unwillingness.
Hey.
After accepting all her flaws, she suddenly felt that she was not as good as Xu Jinman.
At least Xu Jinman can protect Shen Shu when Shen Shu needs it.
Of course, she is still not reconciled now, but she no longer wants to force it. Emotions cannot be controlled. She can't control Shen Shu, nor can she control herself.
She loves Shen Shu, but Shen Shu no longer loves her.
Xia Chun's heart was bitter, but more of it was relief, and there was a trace of regret.
What I did to Xu Jinman earlier was very wrong now. If Xu Jinman is really that kind of heinous person, wouldn't Shen Shu also suffer if she didn't care about targeting Xu Jinman?
"Okay." Shen Shu picked up the script on the side, Tong Jia moved a chair for Xia Chun, and the two sat sideways with a distance of one person.
The picture is very harmonious.
10 minute later.
Shen Shu put down the script: "I think the second one is better. If your character becomes tough, I should also have a tough attitude from the beginning..."
After she finished speaking, she finally asked, "What does Teacher Xia think?"
Xia Chun nodded: "I'm relieved when you say that. I'm afraid that my subjective consciousness is too strong. In fact, I also think so. I'll go and tell Director Zhang."
Shen Shu said yes.
When closing the script, it accidentally slipped from her hand, Xia Chun leaned over to catch it for her, and the two almost collided.
Not far away, Tan Jie looked at the scene of two people approaching, her eyes full of inquiry.
"Do you think there is something wrong with these two people?"
The assistant next to him was puzzled: "Are Shen Shu and Teacher Xia? It seems that the relationship is relatively good. Is Shen Shu okay, but Teacher Xia, I feel that I appreciate Shen Shu."
Tan Jie smiled: "Appreciation? Between Alpha and Omega, is there pure appreciation?"
mid-November.
On this day, Xu Jinman waited for the news that Xu Tao used 15% of the shares to guarantee the smooth progress of the Y1 project.
Y1 is Xu's largest project so far.
Xu Tao will put most of his energy on it.
In business, it is not uncommon to use shares for conversion investment.
Xu Tao is taking 15% of the guarantee for the time being, but wait until the North District and the previous project are completed, and then slowly fill up the money.
However, the most important thing is to wait until the Y1 project is formally invested in manpower, and the relevant cooperation will be carried out slowly before the cost can be paid back.
This is a long-term investment.
But Xu Jinman knew that the Y1 project would soon press the pause button, that is to say, Xu Tao's 15% could not be returned.
And if there is another problem with Xu Li in the North District.
Xu's capital chain will become very tight. Under the vicious circle, Xu Tao has to take more shares or real estate as collateral.
But now she has a lot of working capital, even more than the outside world knows.
This is Xu Jinman's plan.
However, she had calculated thousands of times, but she failed to calculate that things would change at this time.
He was on his way home from get off work when he received the news that Xu Tao was seriously ill.
The call was made by Lu Yun.
Lu Yun's voice was very calm, unprecedentedly calm, and the content was very simple, Xu Tao had a myocardial infarction and was being rescued in the hospital.
Xu Jinman's first reaction was surprise.
Xu Tao is tall, slightly fat, and usually looks very strong.
She sent a message to Shen Shu saying that she would be home late tonight, and then turned around to head towards the hospital.
The hospital where Professor Qin works.
But this is not a place where Xu Tao often comes.
After arriving at the hospital, Lu Yun and Xu Li were already waiting outside the emergency room.When Xu Li saw that she was silent, Lu Yun pulled her aside.
"I don't know where Xu Li got the news, but it came so soon." Lu Yun whispered, "Manman, what are you going to do next? You already have 14% of the shares in your hand, and it's Xu's Your second shareholder, you have to plan early. Just in case Xu Tao..."
Xu Jinman was still thinking, but when he heard Lu Yun's words, his palms felt a little cold.
When I received the call just now, I felt that something was wrong. Xu Tao was too sick... After thinking about it for a while, it made people think of even more terrifying possibilities.
Xu Jinman looked at Lu Yun and responded, his thoughts disappeared in a flash.
At the same time, she noticed the cold gaze, turned her head, and met Xu Li's eyes.
Xu Li's gaze at this time was like a cold snake.
...
After half an hour.
The two doors of the rescue room were pushed open.
The attending doctor came out first: "The operation was a success."
It may be a bit cold-blooded to say it is a human life, but Xu Jinman didn't feel any disturbance in his heart.
to be honest.
This guy is pretty darn good.
It's just this moment... Xu Jinman glanced at Lu Yun, and the regret in her eyes was obviously much deeper.
When she got close, she heard Lu Yun say in a dazed voice: "It's a pity."
Lu Yun hated Xu Tao even more than she did.
Xu Tao entered the intensive care unit and will be supervised by nurses for these two days.
outside the ward.
But just ten minutes later, Xu's major shareholders came to hear the news one by one.
"Where did you know that?!" Lu Yun asked coldly.
A shareholder stepped forward: "Mrs. Lu, now is not the time to talk about this. What is the condition of Xu Dong's illness? You have to give us some advice?"
"Yeah, such a big company, but you can count on him to support it. If something happens, what will the company do?"
Talking all over the place.
Because the voice was too loud, the doctor stepped forward to persuade him twice.
Looking at such a scene, Xu Jinman wondered what Xu Tao's expression would be when he saw this scene.Even at this moment, no one really cared whether something was wrong with him.
Lu Yun said coldly: "Why are you panicking?! The company still has me and Manman! Even if something happens, you don't need to worry too much!"
The shareholder said: "That's not right. Although the third lady is developing well now, in our Xu family, only Xu Dong and the second lady are in charge."
"And the company's current major projects are all handed over to the second lady." Another shareholder said: "Mrs. Lu, it is related to Xu's foundation, so it is not easy to say something."
Xu Li stepped forward at the right time, his eyes were red: "Thank you, uncles and aunts. Now I just want my father to wake up quickly. I definitely can't survive alone. Fortunately, my uncles and aunts are taking care of me..."
At this point, Xu Jinman and Lu Yun understood.
These people were all found by Xu Li.
What else did Lu Yun want to say, but Xu Jinman held her back slightly: "I was too anxious to explain clearly. My dad is out of danger and will return to the company after a while of recuperation. Don't worry."
"After a while of recuperation, the company has to be managed by someone recently. I think it's better to push out an acting director first, so as to avoid confusion among the people underneath."
As soon as this was said, almost everyone nodded in agreement.
The shareholder said: "If Mrs. Lu and Miss San have any objections, why don't we arrange a shareholders' meeting and vote with a show of hands."
Lu Yun's face was livid, but she still remained calm.
Lu Yun said coldly: "Then let's do this."
After all, the shares in Xu Jinman's hands now have enough right to speak in the Xu family, and this is what she was waiting for.
Standing beside Lu Yun, Xu Jinman looked like an obedient daughter who only listened to Lu Yun talking to shareholders.Xu Jinman, on the other hand, was still observing Xu Li's expression.
Perhaps if he felt something, Xu Li glanced at her.
A cold but determined smile.
It was twelve o'clock at night, and the shareholders left one after another, leaving only the 'mother and daughter' Lu Yun and Xu Jinman in the aisle.
"Manman, go back and rest. I'll watch over here, but you must think about how to deal with Xu Li. She is so determined. I suspect she has something else in her hands besides winning over the shareholders."
Xu Jinman thought for a few seconds, she actually had doubts, but there was another thing that made her more concerned.
She tentatively said as if nothing had happened: "The doctor said it was a sudden myocardial infarction, but I remember that he has always been in good health. Is there anything wrong with him at home recently?"
Lu Yun's expression was normal, her eyelashes were pressed down imperceptibly, but the words blurted out: "It's all about being strong outside, that body has been ruined long ago."
Lu Yun paused after speaking, and then said, "Manman, as long as your heart is firm enough, no matter what the shareholders make trouble, mom will help you."
Do you help me or help yourself.
Xu Jinman smiled at her and nodded yes.
Leaving the hospital, the autumn wind is cool, and the night sky at 12 o'clock in the morning has a blue tone.The wind blew the long dark green skirt on her body slightly, and it swayed like a lonely boat on the deep sea.
When I got in the car, my phone vibrated.
Xu Jinman glanced at Shen Shu's WeChat phone number.
The smell of disinfectant in the hospital, the empty corridors, the noisy quarrels, and the dark and unpredictable people's hearts all seemed to be blown away by some force in an instant.
Only the faint sweet fragrance remains.
"Hey?"
"No reply?" Shen Shu's voice was a little colder than usual through the electric current.
Xu Jinman said: "Ah, I didn't see it, I just came out of the hospital."
She slowed down: "don't wait for me, go to sleep."
While speaking, Xu Jinman quickly started the black Porsche and drove out of the hospital parking lot.
In the closed car, the sound of Shen Shu flipping through papers could be heard occasionally.
Nobody spoke.
Xu Jinman just listened, and after a while, he realized that Shen Shu hadn't turned the pages of the book for half a minute, but there were other movements.
He said softly, "What are you doing?"
"Respond to Cai Ying's message."
"Ah."
At the time of the traffic light, Xu Jinman stopped the car.
Shen Shu's voice came from the other end of the phone: "She will go abroad to study with the people in the company for a week in a few days, and she said that she will find time to come over in these two days."
Xu Jinman pursed her lips and said, "Okay."
Shen Shu's birthday is on the 21st, and Cai Ying told her during the day that she would celebrate Shen Shu's birthday in advance.
There was no car at night, so Xu Jinman's speed increased slightly, and he stopped at Xingcheng Apartment [-] minutes later.
As soon as the car stopped, she saw Shen Shu standing by the steps outside the apartment building, wrapped in a striped shawl.
Xu Jinman paused for two seconds, and quickly stepped forward: "Don't come down so late by yourself in the future, and it's so cold."
Shen Shu: "Didn't you come back?"
Although the voice was as light as ever, the words were as warm as a little sun.
So much so that Xu Jinman almost forgot the smell of disinfectant in the hospital just now.
Tell Shen Shu about the hospital.
"Xu Li is so confident, does he have something important in his hand, such as... a will?" Shen Shu guessed.
Although she is not in the mall now, she has seen many things in the past.
The more powerful the family is, the more they care about these funeral arrangements, and many people will make a will in advance.
Xu Jinman also thought about this possibility, and she thought that this might also be what Lu Yun was worried about, so she told her to act quickly.
She pulled him into the elevator and said, "Even so, it's okay, Xu Li can't afford this mess."
Xu Tao now has to devote all his energy to deal with those three major projects, let alone Xu Li?Since meeting Xu Li at the construction site last time, she has also paid attention to Xu Li's recent movements. Although this person is very smart, his skills are considered above average among his peers.
It's a pity that there is still a little less city.
Xu Tao gave Xu Li a lot of opportunities, but too few big projects. After all, Xu Li didn't practice enough.
In the end, she still managed to get the Xu family from Xu Li.
Just as the two opened the door and entered, Xu Jinman's cell phone vibrated again.
After returning home, and receiving a call at this time, Xu Jinman subconsciously felt a sense of tension.
Li Lan.
Shen Shu was also at the door, and was slightly startled when she saw the name of the caller.
If there is no situation, Li Lan will not contact at this point.
Li Lan is simple and clear: "You come to the special management office. Now."
Originally, she thought that Shen Shu's status was inconvenient, so she went alone, but finally seeing Shen Shu's silent state, she still had a soft heart and led her out.
Only before leaving, I took a thicker coat and a mask.
North City Special Administrative Office.
It was still Li Lan's office, Li Lan brought her a cup of cappuccino as usual, then turned to ask Shen Shu, "What do you want to drink?"
"Boiling water is fine, thank you." Shen Shu said.
Li Lan responded calmly, put the water in front of Shen Shu, and looked at the person from top to bottom.
Although it was a very natural and generous look, perhaps because of the environment and the uniform on Li Lan's body, it made people feel a little strange.
Li Lan was keenly aware and said: "I'm sorry, I just heard Xu Yincheng mention you, so I'm a little curious about you."
Shen Shu shook her head.
Xu Jinman: "My brother? Are you in contact?"
Li Lan leaned back in the chair: "Don't be jealous, I just got in touch by chance, 30 seconds on the phone. 28 seconds on you and your wife."
Xu Jinman: "...What did you say?"
Li Lan looked at the two of them, but did not answer Xu Jinman's words.
His eyes rested on the laptop on the table, and he clicked the mouse: "Stop talking nonsense, let's get down to business."
Xu Jinman didn't have any intention of joking, so he took a sip of the coffee, which was very fragrant. This time is not suitable for liking coffee.
After thinking for a while, I suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the computer, followed by a familiar voice.
"Unfortunately, Xu Tao didn't die, what a pity."
Xu Li's voice was very abrupt in the silent office.
Xu Jinman was slightly surprised.
This was actually what Xu Li said. In her impression, Xu Li hated the original body not only to get the family property, but also to get the father's attention.
Especially Xu Tao treats Xu Li kindly, she has seen it with her own eyes.
That's true father-daughter love.
The recording was still going on, and the other person who was talking to Xu Li didn't need to guess.
Zhou Pei's voice sounded in the computer: "A Li, don't worry, I said I will help you."
"You help me? How did you help me? For half a month, I wanted to ask you about Xu Jinman's situation, but it was nothing more than trouble! I had to change my phone number to contact you. You are so timid, and I can count on you What?"
Zhou Pei sighed and explained: "I'm also careful. Xu Jinman is a deep-minded person. I always feel that she suspects something, and it's not like she hasn't done monitoring in the past... That's why I changed the number."
Xu Jinman glanced at Li Lan, no wonder Li Lan monitored the phone, there was nothing abnormal before.
This Zhou Pei's level of vigilance is simply frighteningly high.
Xu Li's tone slowed down: "I've been in a mess recently, but today Xu Tao's accident gave me a great opportunity... When I get Xu Shi, Xu Tao, Xu Jinman, and that bitch Lu Yun , I won’t let go of any of them.”
"But even with the support of shareholders, you only have 1% of the shares in your hand."
"You don't know." Xu Li said: "Xu Tao made a will a few months ago. If something happened to him, I would be the one to inherit the Xu family. That's why I said it's a pity. After something happened, unexpectedly rescued."
"Is Xu Tao also you..."
Perhaps Xu Li didn't hear this sentence, and asked instead: "Is there no news from Xu Jinman? If we can get the handle on Xu Jinman at this time, it will be safe."
Zhou Pei: "No."
The recording was suddenly interrupted for a few seconds. Xu Jinman and Shen Shu thought it was over, but soon, the voice picked up again.
"The battery was out just now." Zhou Pei said: "The monitor that was placed in Xu Jinman's office before was in a potted plant. Who knew she would change it suddenly. Now there are more vio followers, so I didn't put it on again for fear of making a mistake. .and……"
Zhou Pei said: "She also changed her car recently. That Bentley has never been driven. I really don't hear anything. However, I will try my best to find a way."
'clatter--'
Li Lan pressed the mouse with her fingertips, and the recording ended.
"Xu Jinman, I finally know why your brother is so worried about you." Li Lan took a sip of tea: "You are really too humble. Someone put the monitor on the car and didn't even notice."
Xu Jinman: "..."
Xu Jinman didn't speak, Shen Shu said: "My wife is not a professional after all."
In other words, didn't you only find out if you were a professional?
Xu Jinman gave a low cough, squeezed Shen Shu's hand, and grabbed her slightly with his fingertips, similar to a soothing action.
Hearing this, Li Lan glanced at Shen Shu, and then smiled: "It's quite protective. That's fine."
She said: "With this recording, I can arrest people immediately, but..."
Li Lan didn't speak.
Xu Jinman understood this meaning, and it was inconvenient for Li Lan to say the following.
If you catch it now, how long can you lock it up?
Even if they all know that there is a high probability that Xu Li did those things now, but there is no evidence at all, especially the matter of Yin Xue jumping off the building in Rongcheng, and the matter of drugging her... All kinds of things, if they are caught, they refuse to admit it. Things will be closed for a month or two at most.
Xu Li's time will be even less.
Li Lan knew that what Xu Jinman wanted was not as simple as a few months.
Xu Jinman and Shen Shu left the special management office.
She and Li Lan reached a consensus to give them some more time, since Xu Li and Zhou Pei's fox tails have been exposed, there is no rush for this moment.
But how to set a trap for the fox to jump into.
"We can do whatever we want." Shen Shu sat in the co-pilot.
Xu Jinman turned his head, but Shen Shu didn't continue.
Xu Jinman: "Why didn't you say it?"
Shen Shu: "Whore for nothing?"
Why are these words so familiar?Xu Jinman suddenly remembered that when she was teaching Cai Ying in the group, she seemed to have said this too.
Hint at her?
Xu Jinman unbuckled his seat belt and leaned towards Shen Shu: "What does Shu Shu like to be called?"
Under the cold light, the woman's close facial features are extremely deep, especially the eyelashes are distinct, just like a painting.Shen Shu: "What do you think?"
Xu Jinman: "I don't know, tell me, I'll call."
Shen Shu looked at her without speaking.
Seeing this, Xu Jinman was inexplicably teasing, and said softly, "You seem to like me to call you wife during the day, but you seem to like sister more at night... eh."
Shen Shu suddenly lowered her head and bit her mouth.
Punishment meant a lot, so Xu Jinman was a little hurt.
After a while, Shen Shu backed away.
Xu Jinman licked her mouth, which was still a little sore, and she found that Shen Shu sometimes bit people very hard.
Xu Jinman's index finger pinched Shen Shu's ears, and it was already a little hot. When Shen Shu was shy and embarrassed, the ears were the first to get hot.
Xu Jinman also likes Shen Shu's ears the most.
Small and exquisite, cute as hell.
Xu Jinman still maintained the action just now, but forced Shen Shu who raised her head to lower her head again, and then said softly: "Sister, let me listen."
