Qiao Jiusheng glanced at her but did not say a word.
“Forget it, let’s not talk about this.”
“Yeah.”
She stayed in the hospital for three days before being discharged. She started work immediately after being discharged.
The moment Dongli Shenghua saw her, he said, “You’ve lost weight. Why? Did you not enjoy the New Year?”
“I caught a cold this year. It would be strange if I became fat.”
Dongli Shenghua said, “You have a cold? Why didn’t you tell me?”
Beauty Wu sneered and asked, “Why would I tell you?”
“I can come and take care of you.”
“I can’t bear for you to do so.”
Dongli Shenghua continued to talk to her about this topic and they went to the company. On the way, Dongli Shenghua took out three red packets, one for the chauffeur, one for Beauty Wu and one for Pan Jie.
“A red packet for the new business year,” he explained concisely.
Beauty Wu took the red packet and opened it. There was actually 8,000 yuan.
How generous.
It was her first day at work, and she had nothing to do.
The secretary entered the office and nodded at Beauty Wu. She greeted her before walking to Dongli Shenghua’s desk. She said, “Boss, the 15th of April is the third art festival of our company. In the past years, the art festival has always been a talent show. This year, the planning department has provided a few new ideas. There are talent shows and other competitions. Please take a look.”
Dongli Shenghua flipped open the proposal.
He looked at it seriously for a moment before saying, “Every year, it’s a singing and painting performance. I’m tired of it… How about this? Let’s have a cake making competition…”
Dongli Shenghua made the decision. Without waiting for the secretary to elaborate, he said, “Every participant has to make a cake on the spot. The one with the most votes will be the first. The winner will receive a portion of top fashion resources and a first-tier cosmetics brand’s one-year spokesperson rights.”
The secretary was surprised. “The reward is so tempting?”
“Yeah.”
“There will definitely be many people participating.”
After the secretary left, Dongli Shenghua thought for a while. He suddenly tilted his head and asked Beauty Wu, “Miss Wu can participate too. Do you want to participate?”
Beauty Wu asked him, “Mr. Dongli, do you think I can become a celebrity? If I can, I’ll go.”
Of course she would be popular.
But he did not allow her to become one.
“You’d better be my bodyguard.”
When he got off work that day, Dongli Shenghua received a call. From the voice, he could tell that the other party was a woman. Her voice was quite charming and she spoke in English. She was probably telling Dongli Shenghua that she missed him very much and asking when he was free to meet her.
Dongli Shenghua said in Chinese, “I’ve recently turned good. I have to be clean.”
As he spoke, Dongli Shenghua even glanced at Beauty Wu.
She did not know what the other party said, but the call ended very quickly.
When they reached home, the moment Beauty Wu left, Dongli Shenghua went to take a shower. He entered the study room and turned on his computer to work for a moment. Suddenly, he received a video call request. He hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
In the video, there was a woman in a white deep V-neck shirt.
Her eyes were deep, and her skin was the color of wheat. Her body was a little thin, but her figure was really good. Even when she sat on the sofa, she was curvaceous and exquisite.
Namu was a person from the Golden Triangle at the border of Country Y. Due to the influence of World War II, many women there had children with the soldiers of America. Now, many of their descendants more or less had mixed-blood characteristics. Namu was of mixed-blood. She was very beautiful, just like the foreign female celebrities on television.
However, this was only her appearance.
No one dared to believe that this slender beauty was actually a famous drug lord.
She was an old friend of Dongli Shenghua. The two of them had worked together for many years. All these years, Dongli Shenghua’s private life had been unrestrained. He had also had a few intimate instances with this beauty.
Dongli Shenghua stared at her.
“Mr. Dongli, have you turned over a new leaf?” The woman spoke in Chinese.
When she heard Dongli Shenghua say on the phone that he was going to be a good man, Namu was quite surprised.
She was surprised for more than an hour. In the end, she could not help but give him a video call.
Dongli Shenghua smiled faintly. His gaze swept across Numu’s charming body. Although his eyes were bold, they were no longer as lustful as before. Seeing his expression, Numu immediately understood that he was telling the truth.
Namu felt a flash of anger, but she quickly suppressed it.
“Yeah,” Dongli Shenghua said.
Namu asked, “Which beauty stole Mr. Dongli’s heart?”
“Ha.”
Dongli Shenghua did not say it.
Beauty Wu did not steal his heart, but for her, he was willing to end his carefree life.
She had the same face as that person. When he was with such a person, Dongli Shenghua could not be half-hearted and a two-timer. He felt like he was betraying Nabing.
“It’s like this.” Namu changed the subject. When she saw Dongli Shenghua look up at her, she said, “The goods you want are ready. My men will find a way into the country.” She threw him a wink, her charming voice hiding a hint of arrogance. “It depends on your arrangement.”
Dongli Shenghua gave her the exact timeframe.
She even described the exact delivery process.
After hearing this, Namu was quite surprised.
“How bold are you this time?”
“Unexpected. Not even that group of cops could have guessed.”
“I love you more and more.” Namu seemed to be joking, but Dongli Shenghua could hear the seriousness in her voice.
He pretended not to know anything and replied jokingly, “Don’t love me. I won’t love you.”
Knowing that his heart still had Nabing, Namu stopped talking about this topic.
They chatted about some other topics before ending the video.
After the video call ended, Dongli Shenghua fell into deep thought.
Namu was a true ruthless woman. All these years, the rise of Dongli Shenghua was inextricably linked to her help. She was not a plaything like Xingchen and the rest. It was not easy to get rid of her and he didn’t want to provoke her. Dongli Shenghua was a little vexed.
In fact, after Namu hung up the video call, the smile on her face dissipated.
After so many years.
She could not do anything about the dead Nabing, but she would not allow another woman to get Dongli!
The friend who opened the bar with Beauty Wu was called Qin Zhu. After the Spring Festival, she went to Japan for a vacation.
Her Moments had been updated especially frequently these few days, and most of them were what she had seen and heard on the streets.
Every night, she would open Wei Shuyi’s WeChat and check his status. This was something Beauty Wu had to do no matter what. When she entered Wei Shuyi’s photo album that night, she realized that he still hadn’t updated his status.
Beauty Wu felt terrible.
She missed him very much and wanted to know what he was doing, whether he was doing well, and whether he was settling in.
After being in a daze for a while, Beauty Wu entered her circle of friends again. She saw that her friend, Qin Zhu, had updated many posts over the past few days. Looking at the pictures she posted, Beauty Wu realized that she had gone to Japan for a vacation, so she left her circle of friends and privately messaged her.
Alluring Beauty: [Zhu Zhu, you went to Japan?]
Qin Zhu: [Yes, I’m soaking in the hot spring.]
As she replied, she sent her a photo of a hot spring shower for ladies.
Alluring Beauty: [I envy you.]
Qin Zhu: [Is there anything I can bring? I’ll mail it to you.]
After thinking about it, Beauty really asked her to buy some things.
Qin Zhu: [Is the address your house or company?]
Alluring Beauty: [My house.]
Qin Zhu: [Okay.]
After chatting with Qin Zhu for a while, Beauty Wu went to take a shower.
The next morning, the first thing she did when she woke up was to open WeChat and check Wei Shuyi’s status.
As usual, he did not update his status.
After washing up, Beauty Wu went downstairs and rode her motorcycle to work. As she passed by a breakfast shop, she thought about it and decided to buy something. The breakfast at the Dongli Shenghua house was very sumptuous, but Beauty Wu was actually not used to eating things that were too exquisite and sumptuous.
She wanted to eat fried dough sticks, drink soy milk, and eat meat buns.
After buying a Shaanxi Province roujiamo, Beauty Wu smelled a familiar fragrance. She turned her head and saw the lady boss of the breakfast shop next door packing steamed dumplings for her customer. As Beauty Wu looked at the steamed dumplings, some scenes flashed across her mind, and her eyes became a little bitter.
She forced herself to turn her head and took a big bite of the roujiamo.
There was quite a lot of meat. Logically speaking, she should like it very much, but she felt that it was bland.
After taking two bites and smelling the fragrance of the steamed dumplings, Beauty Wu could not help but scold, “You deserve it!”
She wanted to do something big, but she couldn’t bear to let Wei Shuyi go. She deserved to have both ways in this world!
She was too greedy.
Beauty Wu swallowed the roujiamo in a few bites and rode to Dongli Shenghua’s house.
As soon as she reached his house and walked into the hall, she heard Dongli Ao’s voice coming from the dining room.
“Miss Wu, come and eat breakfast.” Dongli Ao stammered. He was probably eating something.
Beauty Wu said in a muffled voice, “I’ve eaten.”
“What did you eat?” As he spoke, Dongli Ao stuffed another mouthful of candied eggs into his mouth.
As she walked to the dining room, Beauty Wu answered, “Roujiamo.”
Dongli Ao thought for a moment and asked, “Is it the kind of roujiamo at the entrance of our neighborhood?”
“Yeah.”
Dongli Ao glanced at Dongli Shenghua, who was sitting opposite him. He told Beauty Wu sternly, “Miss Wu, roujiamo is unhealthy. It’s not suitable to eat too much. You have to eat nutritious breakfast in the morning, or you won’t grow tall.”
Beauty Wu sneered. “I’m 1.7 meters tall.”
Dongli Ao said, “You have to be 1.8 meters tall to be considered tall.”
1.8 meters.
Beauty Wu thought about how she would look if she was 1.8 meters tall.
She could not help but overthink it.
If she was 1.8 meters tall, then Brother Wei would have to tiptoe if she did that with Brother Wei…
Beauty Wu felt terrible.
She could not be bothered to talk to Dongli Ao.
