Chapter 7 Marriage
Chapter 7
Just one glance.
Mu Jia was so busy that she couldn't confirm whether Xie Siyan was taking advantage of her.
He regained his indifferent and clear look, returned his gaze to the document, and pointed out the mistakes to her one by one.
Mu Jia listened attentively and took notes from time to time with a pen.
It has to be said that as an enlightenment teacher, Xie Siyan's rank is indeed a bit higher than hers.
He explained her problem clearly in just a few words.
Then he closed the file and handed it back to her.
"Go back and revise it. I want to see it before this Wednesday."
Mu Jia thought of Song Mingxi's popular science, saying that the next generation of the Teng family could not compare to Xie Siyan.
Considering his performance just now, she now felt that he did have the ability to convince people.
No wonder Teng Zhi treated her like this.
Catching Xie Siyan, the wealthy son-in-law, would also be beneficial to the Teng family.
Mu Jia lamented that he was born at the wrong time and was involved in the affair between the engaged couple.
She was walking out of the top-floor office with documents in her arms and a heavy heart when she accidentally bumped into someone.
"sorry."
Mu Jia hurriedly apologized.
A teasing voice came to my ears.
"I said Xie Siyan wouldn't be so heartless, little sister. We meet again so soon."
Mu Jia looked up.
What caught my eye was Zhou Xu's smiling face.
He was dressed casually in a flowered shirt and casual pants. He didn't look like he was here on business, but rather like he was looking for someone to drink with.
Thinking back to that day in the car, Xie Siyan didn't care about the other party and asked her in front of him if it was her first time. She felt like she was seen through and still felt awkward.
Mu Jia could only smile at him.
Zhou Xu was very familiar with her. He didn't realize that he was being rejected. Instead, he asked her in a familiar tone, "Is Si Yan in there?"
Mu Jia nodded.
Zhou Xu's eyes fell on the document in her hand, "He asked you to deliver this?"
Mu Jia didn't understand.
This document is necessary for listing and is considered project information; Xie Siyan is not her superior, but belongs to her client.
But Zhou Xu might not understand the inner relationship, and she didn't know how to explain it, so she could only acquiesce.
Zhou Xu didn't mean to make things difficult for her any further, and quickly turned around and walked inside.
-
When Zhou Xu pushed the door open, Xie Siyan was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding an unlit cigarette between his slender fingers.
Outside the window is the most prosperous area of Beijing, with bright neon lights and heavy traffic. The glass curtain walls of high-rise buildings reflect the lights of the city, like a never-ending feast.
And he stood on a high place, overlooking it all.
The light and shadow outside the floor-to-ceiling window outlined the figure into a cold outline, as if there was an invisible barrier separating it from the noisy world.
Behind Zhou Xu was Xie Siyan's assistant, who was wearing a neat suit and had a respectful look on his face. He was holding a silver tray with two glasses of amber whiskey on it. The ice cubes were swaying slightly in the whiskey, reflecting tiny bits of light.
Zhou Xu picked up a cup casually and gestured to hand the other cup to Xie Siyan.
"I heard your old man met Teng Zhi a few days ago?" He shook his wine glass, and the ice cubes hit the wall of the glass, making a crisp sound. He asked casually, "So, is the marriage plan settled?"
Xie Siyan took the wine glass, but did not drink it. He just lowered his eyes and looked at the wine in the glass with an indifferent expression.
"You are well-informed."
Zhou Xu chuckled softly, his eyes behind the glasses full of meaning and a hint of teasing: "Everyone in Beijing knows about your private life. I can already grasp half of it just by listening to the gossips of the beautiful women."
That's true.
Xie Siyan comes from a prominent family and has good character and appearance. Compared with Zhou Xu and other cynical young men, he is far from being playful.
Apart from Cheng Yu'an, he is the only good man in this circle.
Thinking of Xie Siyan's sister who had just gotten married, Zhou Xu congratulated him casually, his tone frivolous: "It seems that we will see double happiness in your family soon."
Xie Siyan finally lit the cigarette.
The flame of the lighter popped up, illuminating his deep eyebrows and eyes. The bluish-white smoke swirled between the two of them, blurring the emotions in his eyes.
"But I'm afraid your little beauty will be sad," Zhou Xu suddenly teased, his tone ambiguous, "I just saw her outside, that cheongsam, wow, it was so sexy."
The air suddenly froze.
Xie Siyan dusted off his cigarette ash and said in a calm voice, with no emotion to be found: "That's it."
"Just like that?"
Thinking that this guy had already taken someone to bed, Zhou Xu suddenly leaned in closer, lowered his voice, and said with a hint of mischief, "That night must have been exciting for you, right?"
——Yu Mujia’s figure, even Zhou Xu, who is knowledgeable, can feel that it is top-notch just by looking at it.
"I can't remember."
Xie Siyan put out his cigarette in a crystal ashtray, the spark instantly extinguished. He closed his folder and slowly adjusted his cufflinks, saying nonchalantly, "I'll record it for you next time."
Zhou Xu's glass nearly dropped from his hand, nearly spilling the amber liquid. "Next time we record... can we still do this?"
Xie Siyan raised his eyebrows, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
The words just now sounded like an answer, but also like a casual perfunctory response.
-
Mu Jia came out of the Xie Group Building.
Just as she reached the side of the road, she heard someone calling her, "Mu Jia?"
I turned around and saw that it was a colleague from the investment banking department.
The man looked her up and down, his gaze lingering on the file bag in her hand for a second. "Come to discuss the project?"
Mu Jia nodded.
Before he could answer, he heard the other party lower his voice and ask mysteriously, "Have you seen Xie Siyan?"
Mu Jia was startled, his fingers unconsciously tightening around the file bag.
"I heard he's personally in charge of this listing," the female colleague's eyes gleamed with gossip. "The Xie family's Crown Prince, usually so elusive, is actually personally in charge this time."
June rain comes suddenly.
Mu Jia didn't bring an umbrella, so he had to quickly say goodbye to his colleagues and go to a building next to the Financial Street to shelter from the rain.
She stood under the eaves, watching the rain fall like beads that had broken off the string.
Suddenly, a male voice sounded beside him, talking on the phone, "I have another operation to perform. I'm in the operating room now. I won't say anymore."
The woman on the other end seemed to want to say something, but the man had already hung up the phone.
Mu Jia turned his head and saw a new face that looked somewhat familiar.
The man also looked in her direction.
After a while, the other party gently curled his lips at her and greeted her: "Hello again."
Mu Jia was confused.
"That day in the hospital..."
Mu Jia suddenly recalled something, and the embarrassing scene at that time emerged in his mind.
She was a little embarrassed, "Doctor Liu."
Liu Heng put away his phone and asked her casually, "Do you work nearby?"
"yes."
Mu Jia answered honestly.
Liu Heng couldn't help but look at her twice more.
There are many large institutions near the Financial Street, and most of the people working here are high-paid white-collar workers.
"Do you want me to take you there? My car is in the basement."
It’s hard to get a taxi on rainy days.
As soon as she entered the building, she called Didi.
But now the driver showed no sign of coming and was stuck in the red area three kilometers away on the map.
"Then thank you for your help."
