"Why? You don't welcome me?"
Liu Mei smiled sweetly and wanted to go into the room.
She was dressed up carefully, wearing a black pencil skirt with over-the-knee boots, her chestnut brown curly hair elegantly tied up, and her lips full of scarlet.
Sheng Huai frowned and looked down at her from the doorway: "Miss Liu, what's the matter?"
"I can't come to see you if there's nothing wrong!"
Liu Mei smiled innocently: "I am here as the representative of Party B, aren't you surprised at all?"
As she spoke, she twisted her waist and tried to get into the room, but the tall figure at the door did not move at all.
"Mr. Sheng!"
"I'm here to give you the quote out of kindness. I'm also a special designer for this luxury brand and can share a lot of inside information with you."
"Humph! How dare you treat me like this..."
Sheng Huai's eyes darkened.
"Ms. Liu, let's discuss the cooperation at the conference table. I, Sheng Huai, don't need to resort to these shady tactics in the business world!"
Liu Mei's face turned pale, and she felt a little regretful in her heart. She had originally planned to make Sheng Huai owe her a favor.
But she soon smiled again: "President Sheng, don't be so serious."
"Apart from the cooperation, we are still friends. How about we have dinner together after the meeting?"
"Party B wants to invite the boss of the cooperative company to have a meal. It won't be rejected, right?"
Sheng Huai did not comment.
"Ms. Liu, please make yourself at your leisure. See you in the conference room."
Bang!
The hotel door closed again.
Liu Mei stared at the closed door for a few seconds before she reacted. She bit her lip and returned to her room unwillingly.
…
The afternoon meeting went smoothly.
Shengshi Group officially won the agency rights for the high-end luxury brand.
When the lights came on, a dinner dance was held in the most upscale banquet hall.
Reporters who heard the news had already been waiting near the club, with cameras and live broadcasting the entire process online.
Of course Su Yun saw it too.
Her husband Sheng Huai got out of the stretched limousine with an extraordinary dignity. He had a strong and cold aura and remained calm under the numerous flashes of light.
On the red carpet, Liu Mei wore a black off-shoulder fishtail evening gown and stood shoulder to shoulder with Sheng Huai to be interviewed.
They look like a good match.
"You're talking about Mr. Sheng. Of course I admire him very much. This cooperation is really the luckiest thing that happened this year!"
Finally, Liu Mei smiled at the camera with a gentle and sincere expression: "I hope everyone will not treat me as the daughter of the Liu Group. I want to build my own career, and it would be best if..."
She looked shyly at Sheng Huai, who was like an iceberg beside her, before continuing to speak to the camera:
“It’s better to help important people instead of just staying at home and doing nothing every day!”
Su Yun stared at the computer screen, knowing that Liu Mei was talking about her on purpose.
She understood in her heart that the woman's voice on the phone last time should be Liu Mei.
There were some nosy reporters at the scene who made deliberate jokes.
"Who is the important person in Miss Liu's heart?"
"Mr. Sheng?"
Liu Mei's face flushed, and she coquettishly stopped the reporter from talking any further: "Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Sheng has a lovely wife at home, you are not allowed to write nonsense!"
The reporters at the scene wanted to continue gossiping, but Sheng Huai had already walked into the inner hall with an expressionless face and long legs.
Su Yun turned and went to the balcony.
The sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting mottled shadows on the piano.
I haven't played the piano for a long time.
She changed into a long cotton dress that reached the ground, took off the wooden hairpin on her head, and let her long hair fall naturally.
Sitting on the piano stool, I stroked the black and white keys with my slender fingers for a while, and I actually felt a little strange.
After trying a few notes, the song "Destiny" flowed like water in the luxurious and elegant villa.
Su Yun played the piano very attentively with her eyelashes drooping.
Su Mingan sent several messages to his daughter. He also saw Sheng Huai’s scandal in the news and felt angry and upset.
After playing a song, Su Yun called him back.
"Dad, Sheng Huai is negotiating a contract. I know Miss Liu. Please don't misunderstand..."
"It's nothing, just commercial hype, don't worry."
"Me? I have something to do these days. I will go to see you and mom in a few days. By the way...you must keep this news secret from mom. I'm afraid she will think too much."
Su Mingan hung up the phone half-believingly.
The servants in the villa were unusually silent today. They secretly speculated that the master and the mistress were definitely going to have a big fight this time.
But surprisingly, my wife's mood didn't seem to be affected during lunch.
The butler was very respectful.
"Madam, my husband called me before dawn today."
Su Yun didn't even raise her head, concentrating on cutting the steak on the plate.
"Um."
"Don't tell me such things in the future."
Her eyes fell on the newspaper on the dining table, her gaze paused slightly, and she reached out to take it.
The enlarged version of the entertainment headlines is in bold black capital letters.
[The icy president joins hands with the daughter of a wealthy family to open up a new business field! ]
In the photo, Liu Mei smiled charmingly and gracefully, with her shoulder very close to Sheng Huai.
She stared at the newspaper quietly for a while.
The servant looked anxious: "I'm sorry, Madam. I forgot to put it away."
"You... don't forget it."
Put a piece of cut steak into your mouth and take a sip of red wine.
Su Yun smiled calmly.
In fact, it would be a lie if she said that she was not sad at all.
After all, he is the man I have liked since I was young.
But rather than saying that I am sad, it is better to say that I feel a little bitter and regretful.
I regret that my sincerity was wasted.
Sheng Huai didn't try to contact her the whole day.
She didn't remove him from the blacklist either.
Su Yun knew in her heart that President Sheng must be busy now, after all, there was a capable and beautiful woman by his side.
That's fine.
He will no longer focus on himself.
Anyway...
She no longer loves him.
…
In the most upscale western restaurant in S City.
Liu Mei opened her red lips slightly and smiled charmingly at the man opposite her in the ambiguous candlelight.
"Mr. Sheng, don't be so serious. You look so cold and cold that it scares me."
He raised his hand to loosen his tie, his eyes impatient: "Ms. Liu, we will continue to cooperate on this project for a long time in the future. I hope you can put more effort into brand design."
"I know!"
Liu Mei raised her glass and winked at him: "Mr. Sheng, don't you believe me? After all, I am also a fashion designer who graduated from a famous French university."
Sheng Huai finally raised his head and glanced at her.
"France?"
He remembered that Su Yun had also studied in France.
"Yeah... Have I finally found a topic that President Sheng is interested in?"
Liu Mei's eyes lit up, and she started telling Sheng Huai about her experiences abroad: "Do you know, there is a very amazing senior sister in our school, whose works are still hanging on the wall as reference materials. It's a pity that I have never met her, but..."
"Miss Liu!"
Sheng Huai interrupted her lazily: "I'm not interested in your senior sister. I have something else to do tonight. Excuse me!"
After saying this, he bent down, picked up his suit jacket, and strode out of the restaurant.
Liu Mei looked through the glass window at Qingjun's figure walking further and further away, and her fingertips holding the wine glass turned white.
In the car.
Sheng Huai took out his cell phone and looked at the dialog box with a red exclamation mark for a long time.
He frowned and tentatively typed out another line of information.
【Pull me back! 】
As soon as I pressed the send button, the phone suddenly rang!
