The city of Beijing, which had been gloomy for a few days, did not see any heavy snow, but instead the weather cleared up.
At 10:30 in the morning, Meng Sheng had just finished a meeting and walked out of the conference room when his cell phone suddenly rang with a pleasant sound.
The caller ID showed "Weiwei".
She paused, and the light in her eyes slowly dimmed.
Ever since the incident between her and Ning Weiwei over the acrylic board at the exhibition, an invisible barrier had been created between them, and they chatted less frequently on WeChat.
Most of the time she was just too lazy to waste time. It was too tiring to act even through the phone screen.
So, let alone making a phone call.
When the ringing was almost over, Meng Sheng answered the call, his voice as gentle as ever, "Weiwei, what's the matter?"
"Shengsheng, are you busy?"
Ning Weiwei's voice on the other end of the phone was even softer than hers, and light and graceful. Just by hearing this voice, one could imagine her pitiful look.
Meng Sheng smiled and said, "I just came out of the conference room."
"I was worried that you weren't in the museum." Ning Weiwei seemed to be relieved and said, "Shengsheng, could you please help me find the keychain in the right drawer of my workstation?
That thing is very important to me, but something happened unexpectedly last time and I forgot to take it when I left."
Keychain?
"You're already at the art museum? Why don't you just come up and get it?"
"I... it's not very convenient." Ning Weiwei hesitated for a moment, "Please, Shengsheng, help me get it."
"Okay, I'll help you get it." Meng Sheng paused and asked, "Is there anything else you want to get?"
"Not yet. I'll be waiting for you in the parking lot."
"Okay, wait a moment then."
After Ning Weiwei left her job, no one touched anything at her workstation, and no one occupied her workstation.
Meng Sheng walked over and opened the drawer she mentioned. He saw the key chain at a glance. There was a dark blue dolphin pendant on the ring.
This is not...
Something that was important to her.
Is this the pendant you bought when you went out on a date with Shang Boyu?
She sneered, her eyes were indifferent and cold, and she threw the keychain in her hand ruthlessly on the table, "Yun Jia."
Yun Jia was promoted to the position of team leader of Group A by Meng Sheng from Group B after Ning Weiwei stepped down from the position.
Hearing Meng Sheng calling her, Yun Jia immediately responded and walked to her side, "Director."
"Didn't the Human Resources Department say they were going to recruit people? There are not many people in your Group A. When they recruit people, they will give priority to your group.
Go to the Administration Department and ask for two desks and computers, so that when people come, they won’t have nowhere to work.”
Meng Sheng glanced at Ning Weiwei's workstation again and said calmly, "By the way, clean up the things on this workstation and throw away what needs to be thrown away."
Yunjia was very surprised and asked uncertainly, "Those personal belongings..."
"Throw them all away, no need to keep them."
"yes."
Yun Jia looked at her back as she turned and left, then looked at the key chain on the table, and was distracted for a moment.
It was said that he was suspended with pay, but it turned out that the director had no intention of letting Ning Weiwei come back.
When Meng Sheng walked to the entrance of the parking lot, he saw Ning Weiwei's thin and weakened figure.
It seemed as if any gust of wind could blow her down.
She took a deep breath and just as she was managing her expression, Ning Weiwei, who was wearing a mask, suddenly turned around and looked at her, her eyebrows curved, "Shengsheng."
"I'm sorry, Weiwei, your keychain seems to be missing. After you left, many people had to check things on your computer at your workstation because there was no handover.
So for a while, we couldn’t find out who took the keychain or how it was lost.”
"Gone?" Ning looked at her in surprise, "How could it be..."
Meng Sheng said softly, "Don't worry, I've asked Qiao Na to check the surveillance footage from the past few days and I'll definitely help you get the keychain back."
Ning opened his mouth slightly, his throat feeling a little dry.
She really liked the dolphin pendant on the keychain, and when she found out it was gone, she couldn't help feeling regretful and annoyed.
The people in the art gallery actually touched her things!
She gritted her teeth and suppressed the emotions in her heart. The keychain was just an excuse. This was not the purpose of her coming here today.
"That's the only way." Ning Weiwei's eyes were filled with worry, but she still smiled and said, "Thank you, Shengsheng."
"Why should we thank each other..." She paused, her eyes showing just the right amount of surprise and worry, "Weiwei, is the injury on your face serious? Didn't you go to the hospital?"
Hearing this, Ning Weiwei's eyes immediately turned red. She hesitated and took off her mask, revealing a red and swollen face, with even faint marks from the slap visible.
One can imagine how hard Xiao Jing slapped him yesterday.
After all, we were outside the fence yesterday, and because of the distance, we couldn't see it clearly.
Now seeing her scarred face, the little bit of disappointment that came over me after being disturbed by the police yesterday was instantly soothed.
But his face still showed the pain and anxiety that made no one find any flaws. "What happened? Who hit you?"
Ning Weiwei observed her carefully for a few seconds, but could not see any clues. She pursed her lips and choked up, "It's hard to explain it in a few words, Shengsheng..."
"Go to my office."
"No, I don't want the people in the museum to see it... I would just make a fool of myself for them."
"Then let's go to the coffee shop across the street to chat." Meng Sheng thought for two seconds.
The two crossed the street and sat down in a corner on the second floor of the cafe.
Ning Weiwei told her about the incident of someone coming to her house yesterday and how she went to the police station to file a case afterwards.
"This person has gone too far!" Meng Sheng pretended to be angry after hearing this, "We must not let her go so easily, we must make her spend the rest of her life in prison!"
While Ning Weiwei was describing what happened, she was also observing Meng Sheng's reaction.
But there was still no sign of anything unusual.
Could it be... that Xiao Jing was really not instructed by her?
Does she really not know about her and Shang Boyu?
Who could that be?
Who could be the person behind Tao Qian?
She suppressed the doubts that had been lingering for days, took a sip of coffee, and smiled bitterly, "I don't know who I have offended, but I have to face such a big disaster."
"Once the police have thoroughly investigated, these rumors will be dispelled. Don't worry too much. The most important thing now is to heal the wound on your face."
Meng Sheng looked at the slap mark on her face and asked, "Did you hit that person back?"
Ning smiled slightly and said, "Of course, how could I be the kind of person who would suffer a loss?"
The two chatted for a while, and her tense body slowly relaxed. She remembered to ask, "How are you and Shang Boyu doing recently? Is he spending time with you?"
Meng Sheng paused with his grip on the cup.
Here it comes.
Here comes the point.
She seemed to suddenly understand why she had suddenly come to the art museum to find her today.
It was to find out about Shang Boyu indirectly.
Shang Boyu has now unilaterally cut off contact with her, and coupled with what happened yesterday afternoon, Ning Weiwei must be panicked.
She raised her eyelids, a sweet and happy smile on her face, and began to show off "inadvertently".
"Yes, after I came back from a business trip two days ago, he would pick me up on time every afternoon and cook all kinds of food for me. He paid special attention to me and the children. He originally said he wanted to take me to Switzerland for a trip.
But the art museum was busy and I couldn't leave. Besides, the baby in my belly was not stable yet. Aunt Ren said that the first three months are the most likely to cause miscarriage, so she told me to wait three months before going out to play. "
Do you pick up Meng Sheng every afternoon?
Does Shang Boyu want to break up with me again?
But...why?
It was clear that before he left the hotel that morning, he hugged her and talked to her sweetheart, and he couldn't help himself and pulled her to water the flowers again.
She was puzzled, flexed her stiff fingers, lowered her eyelids, and smiled, "That's good, you are pregnant now, you need more people to accompany you."
The two chatted in the cafe for more than an hour, and then had lunch together in a nearby restaurant before parting.
Meng Sheng withdrew his gaze from her back and turned to walk towards the art museum.
While waiting for the traffic light, she stopped and let the warm sunshine wrap around her.
bite!
The text message alert on the cell phone suddenly rang.
[Ning Weiwei will wait for Shang Boyu outside the construction company in the afternoon, and use her pitiful appearance to win Shang Boyu's sympathy and soften his heart again. The two will start to contact each other again.]
Meng Sheng looked at the line of words and suddenly laughed out loud.
It's only been two days.
So, what does Shang Boyu’s promise really mean?
Well, as the saying goes, a dog will always eat shit.
That’s absolutely right.
A hint of sarcasm flashed through her eyes. After thinking for more than ten years, she dragged Pei Sui's chat box from WeChat: [Lawyer Pei, can I trouble you for a favor? ]
