Chapter 97 Your sister is in love
She walked away, making sure Shen Yu couldn't hear her, before answering the phone that had been ringing for half a minute.
She held the phone up with both hands and just as she put it to her ear, she heard He Tingzhou's dull voice from the other side: "What did I say?"
Shuang Xu remembered his three requests and scratched his hair in annoyance: "You must answer the phone."
"So that's why you hung up on me just now."
"My brother and I are having dinner, so it's not convenient for me to answer the phone," she explained.
"Let's eat." He Tingzhou said slowly, "Then please say hello to him for me."
If I say hello for him, Shen Yu will know that the call was from him. How is it different from turning himself in?
"You have his number, just call him yourself." Shuang Xu didn't want to waste any more words. "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
"I'm going to Hong Kong." said He Tingzhou.
Why should I tell her about going to Hong Kong?
The background sound was empty and noisy, and the roar of the airplane engine proved that He Tingzhou was already at the airport. Shuang Xu asked, "Are you going on a business trip?"
He Tingzhou said: "Go and retake Taiwan."
...What are you talking about?
Shuang Xu said speechlessly: "Then you do your best."
There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Are you upset to hear that I'm leaving?"
A little bit, maybe. When he's not around, I don't have to sleep with him, and I don't have to worry about being discovered.
Just like a full-time housewife who gets up at five o'clock and works all morning to finally send her child to kindergarten, it is hard not to feel relieved at that moment.
But Shuang Xu didn't dare to say it, and fooled him: "I didn't. How did you hear that I was happy?"
He Tingzhou sneered: "From your heart."
“…”
He then asked, "Why don't you ask me how many days I'll be gone?"
Shuang Xu cooperated and asked, "How many days will you be gone?"
"Four days."
Shuang Xu: "Oh."
There was silence for a few seconds. The Crown Prince was obviously not satisfied with her perfunctory response and spoke slower: "Song Shuangxu, I'll give you one more chance. Say it again."
What to say again?
She tried: "Are you careful on the road?"
The cabin door closed, and the background noise disappeared. He Tingzhou said in a gloomy voice: "Why, are you going to use a cannon to attack me?"
"Is your sister in love?" Lawyer Zhao suddenly asked while cutting steak.
Shu Yang, who was trying to secretly drink some wine while Shuang Xu was away, almost choked.
Shen Yu raised his eyes and looked at Shuang Xu who was talking on the phone with his back to them in the distance. His expression was calm and he said, "Why do you ask that?"
"She looked a little nervous," said Zhao, smiling. "My daughter was like that when she fell in love early."
Is this the insight of a lawyer? Shu Yang swallowed the wine and said with a smile, "Shuang Xu is already 22 years old, it's not considered premature love, there's nothing to be nervous about."
Shen Yu didn't say anything. Shuang Xu's reactions when he answered the phone twice were indeed a bit abnormal.
Shuang Xu turned around and glanced at the dining table, and found that Shen Yu was looking at her across half the restaurant.
Even though he couldn't hear her, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
She quickly replied to He Tingzhou: "Then come back early?"
In fact, she thought this was nonsense. She couldn't control the work schedule. He was going to be away for four days, so there must be something that required four days to do.
But this sentence is indeed the correct answer. He Tingzhou's voice finally sounded less sinister: "Come back early after you finish your work."
Shuang Xu breathed a sigh of relief and finally hung up the phone.
When returning to the table, Shen Yu's eyes fell on her.
Shu Yang winked at her from the other side. Before she understood, she heard Shen Yu ask, "Who's calling?"
"...Tingting." Shuang Xu secretly rejoiced in his heart that he had changed the note before coming back.
"Tingting?"
Shen Yu knew her circle of friends very well. Among the people she knew, there was no one named Tingting. Normally, people with whom she had close relationships would not use nicknames that had overlapping characters.
"Made new friends?"
"Yeah." Shuang Xu tried his best to hide his expression, "I know him at work."
Shu Yang on the other side naturally took over the conversation: "The beautiful lady who came to give you something last time, right? She was quite pretty."
"right."
The two of them talked back and forth and worked together to fool the matter.
After the topic was revealed, Shuang Xu gave Shu Yang a grateful look, and Shu Yang blinked at her.
When she and Shu Yang returned to the company in the afternoon, as soon as they entered the door, fireworks rang out and confetti flew everywhere.
The stereo plays celebratory music: "Today is a good day~ whatever you wish for can come true~"
Everyone had a festive smile on their face. Lao Li hung a wreath around Shu Yang's neck and said, "Let us congratulate Mr. Shu for defeating that scumbag and winning!"
Shu Yang stood in the middle of the crowd with a look of emotion on his face, holding a microphone that someone had passed to him: "Thank you everyone, thank you CCTV... Of course, the one I want to thank the most is our President Song, you are really my lucky star!"
Xiao Liao immediately rushed to the frost and threw a bunch of petals: "Great!"
Shuang Xu laughed and brushed the petals off her hair: "I'm happy today, let's give everyone a day off this afternoon. Those who want to go home and rest can go home and rest, and those who want to go out and relax, choose a place, Mr. Shu will treat you today!"
"It's my treat. Mr. Song, please settle the bill." Shu Yang said, pushing away Xiao Liao who was kindly helping her to remove the colored paper from her hair. "Please stop using your useless eyesight. You even knocked my wig off."
"Look at our corporate culture!" a new employee said with emotion, "I know I'm in the right place."
In the afternoon, the whole company went out to celebrate. After dinner, they went to KTV to sing. Xiao Liao shouted in an off-tune voice: "I posted it on WeChat Moments, boss, give me a like."
Shuang Xu opened his Moments, liked all the colleagues who had just posted, and scrolled down.
Pause on a post.
Mu Yanshu posted a set of photos. The night view of Victoria Harbour was prosperous and romantic, with skyscrapers standing in the bright lights.
The beautiful photo of the beauty attracted many likes. A young man who often played with Yue Zifeng and them commented below: [Yo, did you go to Hong Kong with them? ]
Mu Yanshu replied ambiguously: [I came here to play]
Another young man asked: [When will Master Zhou come back?]
Mu Yanshu: [How many days will you stay?]
Shuang Xu slid his fingers upwards.
Three days later, it was time for Cloud Shield’s regular meeting.
Director Fan called at short notice and postponed the meeting originally scheduled for the morning to the afternoon, saying that he had something to do in the morning and could not make it back.
In the afternoon, Shuang Xu and his team arrived at Yundun Group on time. The time and plan for the drone test flight had been determined, and the plan was confirmed and discussed for the final time at the meeting.
When the meeting was over and the door of the conference room opened, Xu Zhen was standing outside.
"Mr. Song, Mr. He just came back from Hong Kong and wanted to update you on the results of the meeting just now."
Director Fan rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "I can just report this to President He. Why bother President Song to go there in person?"
Xu Zhen glanced at him, with an unchanging smile on his face, and said in a steady tone: "Director Fan, do you have any questions about President He's arrangements?"
Director Fan's smile suddenly turned into an embarrassed one: "No, no, I'm just afraid of delaying President Song's future work."
Xu Zhen passed him by and looked at Shuang Xu: "Does President Song have any other plans?"
The four words "available at any time" are really a tight curse.
Shuang Xu stood up: "It's more important to report to General He."
