Chapter 305 Confirmation Signature (1/2)
Special Assistant Shen holds out his hand. He forcefully shakes hands with Xia Ning, “Director Xia, how do you do? My surname is Shen. My first name is Mo. Nice to meet you. You look very impressive.”
Xia Ning smells the fragrance of chewing gum. She mildly lifts her eyebrows. Seemingly, Special Assistant Shen chews gum before he speaks, “Thank you.”
They greet each other for a while. Special Assistant Shen sits down. Xia Ning turns to Gu Ruoruo, “Ruoruo, get us some tea, please.”
Shen Mo glances at the coffee in front of Xia Ning. He says, “Coffee is fine. It helps to refresh.”
Gu Ruoruo responds and turns around to walk out.
Shen Mo glances around. He looks at Xia Ning and smiles. He frankly says, “Director Xia, I am a frank man. I may say things directly. If I say anything displeasing, please forgive me.”
“Never mind. Special Assistant is frank and doesn’t beat around the bush. I like to talk with you in this way. You may talk with me directly about anything.”
Shen Mo nods, “I am here to confirm some things with you.”
At the time, Gu Ruoruo has got the coffee done. She puts down the coffee and walks out of the office.
“Does Director Xia like cappuccino?”
“Oh. I like sweet coffee. Cappuccino has more milk flavor. So, I like it better. If Special Assistant Shen doesn’t like it. I can ask Ruoruo to prepare another style for you.”
“No, no need.” Special Assistant Shen takes a sip of the coffee, “To be honest, I like Cappuccino, too. Ha, ha. I hope you don’t think I am of womanly taste.”
“Special Assistant Shen likes joking.”
They chat for another while. Shen Mo takes out a file from his file bag and puts it in front of Xia Ning, “I come to C City this time to confirm a document with Director Xia. It is about the sales contract of Yasi Villa, which was signed four years ago.
Xia Ning feels her heart slightly tightened. She received the money four years ago. Why it is mentioned now?
“Well.” Xia Ning takes over the contract, “Is there anything wrong in it?”
Special Assistant Shen shakes his head, “Nothing wrong. I just need to confirm it.”
Xia Ning mildly frowns. She opens the file and reads it carefully, “Special Assistant Shen, actually, this contract was signed by my husband. I am not clear about the details. Do you need to check with my husband?”
“No need.” Special Assistant Shen points at somewhere in the contract, “I only need to confirm whether the money B City government paid for Yasi Villa went directly into your account.”
In the contract, it shows that the money to buy Yasi Villa is to be remitted directly into the account number under Xia Ning’s name.
Xia Ning frowns more seriously, “Special Assistant Shen, I can’t confirm to you now. I may call my husband first to check with him. OK?”
“Director Xia, wait for a second.” Special Assistant Shen takes out a bank slip, “Director Xia, it is mentioned here that the money went directly into your account.”
Xia Ning vaguely feels something wrong.
At that time, the money did go directly into her account. Why they come to her for confirmation after four years?
“Special Assistant Shen, because this contract was signed between my husband and Mayor Yin. If there is anything wrong with it, can you communicate directly with my husband? I have never seen this contract. So, I can’t confirm anything to you.”
Special Assistant Shen blinks his eyes, “OK. I wonder when Commander Yi will be free. Is it convenient for me to visit him at home?”
“I may call him to check.” Xia Ning takes out her phone and dials Yi Yunrui’s number.
Soon, the call gets through, “Ning, I am glad that you call me first. Do you… miss me?”
“…” Xia Ning feels a little embarrassed, “Hum.”
“Ha, ha!” Yi Yunrui laughs, “You silly, I am just kidding. What’s up?”
Xia Ning briefly tells Yi Yunrui that Special Assistant Shen comes to C City for the contract confirmation. She asks, “Rui, is it convenient for you this evening?”
Yi Yunrui thinks for a while, “It is OK. You may invite Special Assistant Shen for dinner at our house.”
Xia Ning blinks her eyes, wondering when Yi Yunrui changes to be so hospitable.
“OK.” Xia Ning responds. She hangs up and turns to Special Assistant Shen, “Special Assistant Shen, my husband said it is OK to meet you this evening. Will you come to our house for a simple dinner?”
At half past five, Yi Yunrui sends Zhang Hai to pick up Xia Ning and Special Assistant Shen back to the military compound. When Xia Ning and Special Assistant Shen come into the house, they smell the delicious flavor of dinner. It stimulates the appetite at once.
“Commander Yi and Director Xia have a very happy life. It is really enviable.” Special Assistant Shen can’t help admiring.
“You are flattering us.” Xia Ning smiles happily. She doesn’t know when Yi Yunrui got home to make the dinner.
They come into the living room. There are six dishes on the table. At the time, Yi Yunrui wears an apron and comes out from the kitchen, “You two may wait for another while. Dinner will be ready soon.”
