20 His Three Secrets 10 (1/2)

Prosper Corp was having a small get-together at the club house. After Su Zhinian made his social round, he excused himself and retreated to the balcony that was relatively quiet. The snow had stopped, and Beijing appeared to have been given a white coat of paint.

Actually, it was not in his itinerary to attend the get-together, but when he heard Song Qingchun tell the taxi driver, ”Please follow that car in front that has the car plate that ends with 00,” he thought about it and decided to come to this club house.

She was the place's VIP, so she must be waiting for him sitting on the lobby's sofa. Suddenly, Su Zhinian wondered, what was that woman up to at this moment?

Su Zhinian swirled the wine glass in his hand and took a small sip of red wine. Then, he focused completely on his hearing. Various sounds drifted into his ears, the sound of car brakes, the underground rails, trains, airplanes, announcements, music… and various conservations.

”It's so cold and snowing, I don't feel like going out. Let's cancel our date tonight and move it to another date…”

”Honey, I am reaching the hotel lobby, where did you say you were waiting for me?”

”I don't want to break up with you, can't you give me one more chance? I really cannot lose you…”

…

Su Zhinian was unable to pick up Song Qingchun's voice from the cacophony. Su Zhinian waited for a while longer but still he did not hear Song Qingchun, however he did hear someone mention the name 'Song Qingchun'.

”CEO Zhang, when I entered the club house, I saw you conversing with a young woman at the entrance. She looks pretty, who is she? Your new lover?”

”No, she's from Song Empire, Song Menghwa's daughter, her name is Song Qingchun.”
