Chapter 893 Where does the hostility come from?
When I suddenly heard my own name, my scalp went numb.
If someone stabbed me in the chest right now, I would definitely not die because my heart would be in my throat!
Not only me, Luo Yong also became nervous.
"Yes, I know her. We are in the same department. Do you know Xia Yimeng? Well, she comes from a wealthy family and her boyfriend is rich. It's not surprising that you know her." Fang Dongmei said it very naturally, with a bit of innocence in her tone.
"Are you very familiar with her?" Lu Yuanqing continued to ask.
Without waiting for Fang Dongmei to answer, the elevator dinged and arrived at the twelfth floor. I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that I could finally get out of the elevator.
"Mr. Lu, I'm here." Fang Dongmei nodded politely at him and walked out of the elevator.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yuanqing followed her out, and Luo Yong and I became nervous again.
"Mr. Lu, this is the twelfth floor, not the top floor." Fang Dongmei's voice was a little unnatural.
"Oh, I was just wandering around, and I happened to have something to talk to your director about.
"By the way, are you familiar with Xia Yimeng?" Lu Yuanqing continued to ask.
"Well, not too well. She comes from a well-off family and lives in a double room. The people she usually hangs out with are all from well-off families.
I live in a six-person dormitory, and we're not in the same building, so we don't interact much except for classes."
Lu Yuanqing seemed a little disappointed. "Does the school also divide families into small groups based on their financial situation?"
"That's right." Fang Dongmei curled her lips, her tone somewhat helpless, "School is also a microcosm of society.
It's impossible to get into their circle without money.
There was a department event once, and they pooled their money to go to a Michelin restaurant for dinner, while those in our dormitory could only eat spicy hot pot at the school gate.
Lu Yuanqing chuckled: "It seems that you don't have a good impression of Xia Yimeng?"
"Not really." Fang Dongmei shrugged. "They're just from two different worlds. I heard they started a company together before they even graduated. Rich people just think differently from us."
Luo Yong and I watched them nervously as they walked to the door of Zheng Guanqian's office. Lu Yuanqing suddenly turned around, looking at her with a slight smile on his lips, "Work hard, and you'll have the chance to become rich too."
"Thank you for your encouragement, Mr. Lu. I will work hard!" Fang Dongmei quickly expressed her determination, and then watched Lu Yuanqing push the door in before she sat back at her workstation.
Only then did I let out a long breath.
"Xiao Xia, do you have any grudge against Lu Yuanqing?" Luo Yong looked at me with a frown.
I thought about it carefully and replied, "No, I've met him a few times. His attitude towards me was a little strange, but I definitely don't have any grudges against him."
After hesitating for a moment, he continued, "Why do you think I have a grudge against him?"
Luo Yong hesitated and said, "I'm not sure, but when he mentioned you, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his orbicularis oculi muscles tightened. It felt like he had obvious hostility towards you."
"Are you looking so carefully? I didn't notice anything at all." I was a little confused. Why was he hostile to me?
Is it because you were angry and embarrassed because you failed to penetrate my kidneys?
Is this also something that cannot be obtained?
But with Fang Dongmei as his target, there is no reason for him to still be obsessed with me.
I said hesitantly, "Could it be that he's been trying to get me wrong a few times and failed, so he's become obsessed with it?
Otherwise, why would he still be hostile to me if he already had Fang Dongmei as his target?"
Luo Yong thought about it for a while, but he still didn't understand. "Hmm~ Maybe in his eyes, people like you are just commodities. Of course, the more popular commodities, the better."
Zhuque ordered takeout at noon. Compared with the fast food that cost more than ten yuan per portion in the past two days, today's lunch was obviously of a higher quality.
Looking at the several exquisite food boxes on the dining table, Luo Yong's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to open the one in front of him.
"What day is it today?" Luo Yong smiled. "Braised lion's head, steamed sea bass, braised prawns... and a fruit platter and yogurt?
Good fellow! Are we not going to live like this anymore?"
Zhuque arranged the lunch boxes one by one, gave me a meaningful look, and said with a smile, "The leader specifically instructed us to increase everyone's food standards, saying that our consultant Xiao Xia has been working hard recently."
Luo Yong had already started eating. "Is this an increase 'a little'? The meal price has more than doubled."
As he was speaking, Wen Congwu pushed the door open and came in. Seeing the dishes on the table, he raised his eyebrows: "Wow, the food is pretty good today."
"Captain Wen, thanks to Xiaoxia." Zhuque handed over the chopsticks with a smile, "Boss Xiao has raised the standard of our meal."
Wen Congwu took the chopsticks and glanced at me cheerfully, "Xiao Xia, Lao Xiao really cares about you. But..." He changed the subject, "The conditions in our operations center are indeed a bit shabby. I'm sorry to have put you in such a difficult position. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, just let me know!"
I complained in my heart, as if he would change if I mentioned it, and it was my husband Xiao who paid for it.
But I still said politely, "No, no, it's actually pretty good here. Everyone is very nice. I'm very happy here."
Before he could finish his words, there was a knock on the door and everyone looked towards it.
"Who will come?" Zhuque muttered. He was sitting closest to the door, so he stood up first and walked towards the door.
Suzaku leaned over to take a look through the cat's eye, "Xiao Hong?"
As he spoke, he opened the door. Xiaoyan and Azhi were outside. Azhi was carrying a large cardboard box, which almost blocked his view. He tilted his head and poked it out from behind the box, and then I saw it was him.
Xiaoyan was also holding a few cardboard boxes in her hands, one of which looked quite heavy.
"Mengmeng, President Xiao asked us to deliver the things you asked for." Xiao Yan wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Captain Wen, when you're looking for a safe house next time, can't you ask the bureau to move to a house with an elevator?
It’s so tiring to carry things up the stairs!”
"Huh, you've only been away from the police force for a few days, and your physical fitness has declined so much? Why don't you come back? You're almost becoming a spoiled young lady." Captain Wen said while subconsciously glancing at me.
I think he is implying something about me, but I have no evidence.
I walked towards Xiaoyan with a wry smile, "Sister Xiaoyan, Lao Xiao is really something. Why didn't he just send it to me by courier? He made you two make a special trip."
"This is a safe house. We can't just let couriers come in casually. It would be bad if someone finds anything unusual." Xiaoyan explained.
Then, after she put down her things, she began to accuse Azhi, "Come on, Azhi, help me pack them up."
Luo Yong stopped eating and put down his chopsticks to watch the fun. "What are all these big and small boxes sent to you?"
