She explained the rest of the matter to Qiao Na, then picked up her bag and prepared to leave. When she reached the elevator door, she met Ning Weiwei who was coming up with a pile of documents.
Ning Weiwei looked at her carrying the bag and was a little surprised, "Shengsheng, are you off work now?"
"I have to go to a business in the afternoon."
"What are you going to do at the merchant's?"
"My mother-in-law asked me to go over and have afternoon tea with her and chat."
"You have an easy job as a curator. You can come when you want and leave when you want." Ning Weiwei teased in a joking tone, "I really envy you."
Meng Sheng smiled and said, "Then I'll go first."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
"Um."
Ning smiled slightly and watched her enter the elevator. When the elevator door closed, the smile on her face disappeared. She looked at the documents in her hand, her eyes full of annoyance and impatience.
Meng Sheng walked to the parking lot on the first floor underground, and the phone in his bag rang with a text message alert again: [The old house of the merchant will be out of power for fifteen minutes and twenty-five seconds at 3:19 pm. ]
power failure?
That is to say, during those twelve minutes, the surveillance cameras in the corridor will not be powered.
It is now a little after 2:08, and it takes about half an hour to drive from the art museum.
There's still time.
When the car arrived at the old merchant house, Butler Zhou came forward and nodded, "Madam Third Young Master. Good afternoon."
"Well, Uncle Zhou, good afternoon." Meng Sheng asked, "Where's my mother?"
"The Second Madam is waiting for you in the side building."
Meng Sheng nodded, carrying her bag and going directly to the side building.
In the flower hall, Yu Qionghua brewed two pots of the best scented tea, and placed six exquisite and delicious-looking pastries on the table. She was holding a tablet in her hand and looking at the new clothes that had just been put in a brand store.
"mom."
"Hey, Shengsheng is here." Yu Qionghua smiled and waved, "Come here, help me take a look at this dress. How do you like it? Does it suit me?"
Meng Sheng walked over to take a look. It was a beige cashmere coat from Crosin with detachable pure fox fur on both sleeves.
The price is 136,000.
Ever since Yueqifang was investigated and closed down, Yu Qionghua's mood has never been affected.
Still eating, drinking and having fun.
The tax of more than 7 million is actually nothing to her, but as a rich person, who would complain about having too much money?
She thought about it carefully and said, "This coat is very suitable for the cheongsam you made some time ago."
Yu Qionghua was once known as the cheongsam beauty, and she loved wearing cheongsam.
Because of this, Shang Yizheng specially hired a top cheongsam designer to make cheongsams just for her.
"Yeah. I think so too. Let's buy it then." Yu Qionghua added it to the shopping cart and pointed to the chair next to her. "Don't stand. Come sit down. I just saw a sweater. Do you like it? If you like it, I'll order it together with you."
It is a cardigan, simple grey style, priced at over 30,000 yuan.
Meng Sheng didn't feel awkward or hesitant, he raised his eyebrows and said, "If mom buys it for me, I will definitely like it."
"Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you. I'll buy it all for you!"
Yu Qionghua added the cardigan to the shopping cart and said, "I'll also give you a pair of casual pants so you can wear them in the spring."
After the purchase, she put the tablet down and asked, "How are the preparations for the solo exhibition on the 6th at the art museum going? Is it going well?"
"Yeah, it went pretty smoothly."
"As long as it goes well." Yu Qionghua nodded. "What kind of tea would you like to drink?"
"Mom's peony tea is always the best."
"Well, you're the only one who knows how to drink." Yu Qionghua asked the servant to make a pot of scented tea.
Meng Sheng had just picked up a piece of cake when Yu Qionghua asked in a tone of sudden recollection, "Oh, by the way, Shengsheng, do you know Pei Sui?"
She paused.
After so much preparation, we are finally getting to the point.
I knew she wouldn't call her back for no reason.
Meng Sheng looked at her blankly, "Well, we know each other. We've had dinner together."
"How do you know him?"
"It was also a coincidence. I accidentally rear-ended his car last month and he didn't take my money, so I said I'd treat him to a meal. At that time, I didn't know his identity very well until later."
Yu Qionghua's eyes were shining with a faint light, and she glanced at Meng Sheng for a long time, as if she was judging the truth in her words.
Meng Sheng just let her watch. This reason was naturally nonsense.
But since she is still testing it, it means she hasn't found anything.
Otherwise, there would be no need to test it like this.
"Is it serious? Is he okay?" Yu Qionghua asked with concern, "Why didn't I tell you about such a serious matter?"
"It's okay, it's okay. It's just that his car light was broken, and I felt bad about it, but I didn't want to owe him a favor, so I treated him to a meal."
"It's good that he's okay. When something like this happens, it's only right to treat him to a meal." Yu Qionghua, "Do you know? He was the one who reported the tax affairs of Yueqifang."
"What?"
Meng Sheng’s surprise was really not an act.
She was truly unbelievable.
How...how did he become Pei Sui?
Shouldn't it be her?
She remembered that Pei Sui said that day that he had done some tricks, which might cause some misunderstandings.
Could it be... that's what it means?
Meng Sheng asked in confusion, "Why did he report it? Does he have any grudge against us Yueqifang? What benefit will it bring to him?"
Yu Qionghua had been observing her expression and could tell that she really didn't know.
She felt a little relieved and sneered, "He has no grudge against us Yueqifang, but Jialan Beauty Salon has a grudge against us. The director of Jialan is Pei Sui's aunt, and he is also Jialan's legal advisor."
Meng Sheng really didn't know this.
She only knew that Jialan Beauty Salon had been open in Hongsheng Commercial Street for seven years and business had always been good, but the emergence of Yueqifang had taken away a lot of Jialan's business.
The two stores are in competition with each other, so naturally they can't get along harmoniously.
Since Yueqifang opened, the two beauty salons have had many disputes. Jialan's director, like the merchant's wife Guan Rong, looks down on Yu Qionghua's behavior.
"So that's how it is. Now that Yueqifang has closed down, Jialan is indeed the beneficiary." Meng Sheng pretended to be angry, "This is too despicable."
Yu Qionghua laughed and said, "You are still too young and have not experienced these things. This is nothing. It is also because I did not know people well that I have this handle."
As he was talking, the lights in the room suddenly dimmed.
It's cloudy today, and this place isn't as bright as the floor-to-ceiling windows, so the lights are usually on during the day.
Meng Sheng paused and looked at the time on his phone.
Three nineteen.
There really is a power outage.
Yu Qionghua called the servant over, "What's going on?"
"Madam, the power is out."
As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Sheng "accidentally" knocked over the teacup. She screamed, quickly stood up, and caught the cup that almost rolled to the ground.
"Ouch, are you okay? Shengsheng." Yu Qionghua hurriedly asked the servant to bring a towel and scolded, "How can you be so honest, kid? The cup was hit, so it was hit. Fortunately, the tea is not that hot, otherwise, would you still want to keep this hand?"
Meng Sheng smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I remember that Mom really liked this set of teacups. It would be such a shame if I beat them up."
“You.”
Yu Qionghua sighed helplessly and urged, "Come on, I'll go upstairs with you to change clothes."
