321 Heart for Gossip (1/2)
There was not that many ways to bowl, and the best result was a strike, and that was something most could do with a little practice. Therefore, Sister Shuang did not have the chance to shine—the most she could do was show off her textbook posture. Without a dominating result, the other people's gaze would not stop on a girl for long.
”Mr. Luo, I heard you was full shooting a movie in Feng Yuan City lately, so I assumed your schedule will be tight. That's why I didn't extended an invitation.” Mrs. Huang's attention was on Luo Mingxin. As for Ye Shuang, who followed along, she barely gave her a glance. ”I'm surprised that we met here today. How do you have the time to come bowling?”
”There are some problems with the film crew, so we're taking a break for a few days.” Luo Mingxin smiled. ”Since I have nothing else to do, my schedule has been relatively open.”
”Ah, I understand it now.” Mrs. Huang nodded but did not show any curiosity about the problem faced by the crew. ”Then if you are free, Mr. Luo, when don't you come to the ball on the evening after tomorrow.”
Luo Mingxin was planning to reject with a polite smile. ”Mrs. Huang, you have put me in a tough spot. I have no idea when the crew will resume work, and if the time overlaps, then I will placed in a tough spot. Temporarily, it's hard for me to find a suitable date, so… Tsk! Cough, cough, I mean, of course, there's no problem, how could I reject your invitation?”
Mrs. Huang looked at Luo Mingxin with confusion, but she did not question his sudden change of mind. ”Okay then, later, I'll have someone send the invitation to your assistant. He still uses the same phone number, doesn't he?”
After ironing out the details of the ball, Mrs. Huang stood up and walked to her lane to play while Luo Mingxin stayed behind to look at Ye Shuang, who sat next to him with a bitter smile. ”Xiao Shuang, you want to go to Mrs. Huang's ball, huh?”
Ye Shuang took a sip of the fruit juice before admitting, ”Yes, it's to do with work, but you looked you were about to reject it. In the urgency of the moment, I pinched you, sorry about that.”
”…How come you don't look sorry at all?” Luo Mingxin sighed. ”Next time, just give me a look. Girls shouldn't act so brashly.”
Ye Shuang flashed a fake smile. ”Who told you to refuse to meet my eyes? Even though Mrs. Huang's age is quite advanced, she kept up a good appearance. Other than the lines at the corner of her eyes, her skin is glowing, and her figure… tsk tsk.”
”…” Luo Mingxin was silent for a long time before saying in a serious tone, ”Xiao Shuang, do you know how many small celebrities have come onto me to ask me for some favors?”
”So, did you do it?” Ye Shuang looked at Luo Mingxin like he was human trash.
”Of course not, but that's not the point!” Luo Mingxin held his forehead and sighed. ”I mean, if your Brother Luo wants to find a lady companion, there's no need for me to go after another man's wife and someone who is as old as…”
Ye Shuang suddenly looked behind Luo Mingxin and exclaimed, ”Oh, Mrs. Huang!”
”Eh!” Luo Mingxin turned around with a shocked expression, and he saw Mrs. Huang still standing several meters away at her lane. She scored a strike.
”Wonderful hit, Mrs. Huang. She must have been doing this for a long time already…” Ye Shuang finished her sentence before turning back to ask Luo Mingxin, ”Brother Luo, what did you want to say earlier?”
This person sure is horrible. There is no way to play with her happily!
…
After that, they went back to their own place separately. As Luo Mingxin's date, Ye Shuang easily got the invitation to the ball. However, entering the ball did not mean gaining access to the Yong An Organization's internal information. The issue of whether CEO Huang had any voice inside the organization aside, even if he did, there was no reason for him to share it with Ye Shuang, an outsider.
”I think you should get to know the employees in the Yong An Organization first.” Han Chu gave Ye Shuang a large stack of documents. ”Currently, we cannot say for sure that there is anything wrong with the Yong An Organization, but if there is, then the spy there must be caught in a tricky situation.”
After the agent for the Asian countries disappeared, Xu He could not be the only one panicking. What Xu He represented might be the situation of all the sub-agents within China. Even if Feng Yuan City's spy had another contact method or perhaps their status was higher and could connect to the organization without going through the agent, most of the bases other than Feng Yuan City and Jing Hu City had been destroyed, so there was no way for these remaining spies to not feel pressured!
If they were pressured, then the rest would be easy. The more they panicked, the easier they would expose their weakness.
”If you're afraid of making an erroneous speculation, you can try to focus on how the other people react to the Yong An Organization,” Han Chu said. ”Just like how Yao Zhixing's group looks down on the Xi Hwa Organization in the background, sometimes, if there's a problem with a company, it is really hard to tell when you're working at the company, but outsiders will have a clear view of all the fake accounts and be able to follow the company's actual recent development.”
How was their relationship with their partners? Did they expand their scale? Did their share rise or drop? Had the relationship with the other strengthened or weakened? How powerful was their partner? Had they done anything worth noticing lately?
