Translator: Udeze Editor: Udeze
The harsh winter had passed, but the air in the night was still full of chill. Under the dim illumination of the streetlights, a few sparrows were fluttering and flying, braving the chill to seek food to alleviate their hunger.
Right as his cigarette burned out, a black Mercedes Benz drove fast and quickly stopped in front of Tang Xiu’s car. A sturdy man came out and opened the rear door, as Chen Zixue came out and tightened his black windproof overcoat while carrying a roll of papers and going toward Tang Xiu’s car.
“Hello, Mr. Tang.”
Chen Zixue realized that Tang Xiu did not have the intention to get off the car, thus he had no choice but to bow and say.
Tang Xiu wore an expressionless expression. He threw the cigarette butt from the window and saw Chen Zixue’s face slightly change, then said indifferently, “If you have something to say, then say it quickly. The weather is cold, and sleeping on the bed is much more comfortable than outside.”
For a moment, Chen Zixue was silent. He suddenly let out a smile and said, “I’m very sorry for disturbing you this late at night, Mr. Tang. The chief purpose why I did that is concerning the construction project of your company that is about to be held. There’s also a saying that Mr. Tang may have heard as well, that delicate works require time and slow labor. And due to your company only giving a short period of time, I personally took charge of the architect team to draw the blueprint design. We could only finish 60% of it. Please have a look at it.”
Tang Xiu casually glanced at him, then took the rolled design. His vision immediately focused as he opened it and observed it a few times.
The design was exquisitely done and showed excellent skills followed the main design given by Tang Xiu. It had been carefully well divided and segmented, either the floor height, the distribution of buildings, the use of architectural design and space… all of them were well designed and simply excellent. Despite having only a shallow knowledge of modern architectural design, Tang Xiu still felt astounded.
Unfortunately, it was an unfinished, or rather, a semi-finished product!!
Tang Xiu observed the other dozens of design drawings and then rolled them up again, handed it over to Chen Zixue, and said, “It’s too cold here. Let’s find someplace else to chat.”
A glint suffused in Chen Zixue’s eyes as he returned to his car without hesitation. The two cars drove for less than 10 minutes as they finally stopped at the entrance of a 24 hours convenience store on a nearby street.
“Welcome.”
The young and beautiful female clerk raised her head and greeted them. This 24-hour convenience store had two male and one female clerks, and all three of them were very young. However, when the female clerk in the counter saw Tang Xiu, she lightly blanked for a moment before she said with amazement, “Tang Xiu?”
Tang Xiu, who just entered the store, did not pay attention to the female clerk. When he heard her calling his name, he glanced at her from the distance. What he did not expect was that the female clerk turned out to be Yi Lianyan.
“Why are you here?”
Seeing Tang Xiu was a pleasant surprise to Yi Lianyan. Looking a bit embarrassed, she said, “I’m short on money, so I’m working to earn my living expenses. What about you? … How come you are out late at night like this?”
“I just came out to discuss some things with a friend of mine. Never thought I would meet you here,” said Tang Xu. “If anything, just tell me if you are short on money, as long as it is less than 7 digits I promise you can work for me later.”
Yi Lianyan couldn’t help laughing. “Do you want to pay my salary in advance, by chance?”
“Yup!” Confirmed Tang Xiu.
“Nah, if a gentleman cannot eat from charity, so am I as a woman.” Yi Lianyan slightly shook her head. “Pay me my salary when I officially work for you!”
The nearby male clerks curled their lips and shot contemptuous looks.
Seven digits?
What a bull! Pretending to be some rich redneck! If you want to support and take Yi Lianyan as your mistress, just say it directly. Why the empty words to deceive her?
HYPOCRITE!
The duo directly labeled Tang Xiu inwardly.
Tang Xiu turned his head to look at Chen Zixue, who wore a smiling face without speaking behind his back. He pointed to a table placed by the window and said, “Yi Lianyan, give us an Oden serving each and two bottles of water.”
“Got it. Please wait a bit.” Yi Lianyan smiled and left.
Tang Xiu and Chen Zixue came to the window and sat at the table. Then, Tang Xiu straightly spoke, “I have seen the design drawn by your company and they are indeed excellent. But there’s something I don’t get. Why did you still dare to come to Shanghai while you have yet to complete it? More so that you even dared to find me so late at night like this?”
