The next morning, Meng Tao woke up and found herself alone. Shen Yu had already left.

She picked up her watch and looked at it. It was past nine o'clock. She got up, washed, and took out the ingredients from the space to make a simple, fresh and nutritious breakfast. After eating, she sat in front of the dressing mirror to dress up - it was only ten o'clock now, and Shen Yu would not be back at noon. It would be boring for her to stay alone, so she might as well go out for a walk. Anyway, she was here to play.

First, she put on makeup to cover it up as Shen Yu said. She didn't need to be on guard against anyone in Hong Kong City, except for the father and daughter Murong Shengjie and Mu Wenlan. Even if she wanted them to recognize her, now was not the time.

Meng Tao tied her hair into a bun, with a thick layer of foundation on her face, a pair of delicate and slender willow-leaf eyebrows, thick eye shadow, curled false eyelashes, and big oily red lips... Then she wore a full set of ruby ​​jewelry, hairpins, earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings, and finally chose a loose cashmere coat, paired with a black tweed skirt, deerskin boots, and an exquisite diamond-studded bag on her wrist. She looked so adorned and shining.

Meng Tao turned around in front of the dressing mirror: Not bad, a typical nouveau riche, she couldn't even recognize herself.

When I went downstairs, I saw Dou Nannan sitting in the lounge downstairs reading a newspaper. She was not wearing a long wavy wig today. Her short hair was refreshing and pretty, her makeup was light and elegant, and she was wearing a dark suit, short skirt, stockings and high heels, looking like a capable white-collar worker in the workplace.

Meng Tao did not disturb Dou Nannan and went out the door on her own.

Dou Nannan happened to look up and saw the back of a woman with a high bun and fashionable clothes. She couldn't help but squint: She has been in the office for a few days. The appearance characteristics of the five women here are clear. Who else can this woman in front of her be other than Meng Tao? Dou Nannan threw the newspaper on the sofa, stood up and chased out, stopping Meng Tao at the door: "What do you want to do?"

Meng Tao shook her off, looked around, and rolled her eyes at her: "What do you want to do when I ask you? Are you afraid of not attracting other people's attention by tugging and tugging here?"

After saying that, Meng Tao walked quickly to the sidewalk on the left. Dou Nannan paused, looked around, and then quickly caught up with her. When she came to Meng Tao, she asked, "Where do you want to go?"

"Just wander around and go wherever is fun,"

"Look at this big belly. Can't you just stay still?"

"My belly is mine, what's it to you? I didn't ask you to come with me, so don't follow me."

"you……"

Dou Nannan choked and her face turned red. Usually, others gave in to her and she could be proud and willful and do whatever she wanted. She didn't expect to meet such an unyielding woman today. She was almost mad at her.

But he couldn't not follow. He had to complete the task after accepting it. Shen Yu was a narrow-minded man. He was really blind to like him. Isn't it normal for women to have some quarrels? He also has to intervene!

This time when she came to Hong Kong City, she was supposed to be a data clerk and could have accompanied him to the front-line negotiations, but Shen Yu suppressed her and forced her to stay behind to accompany and protect his wife. He also said that if his wife got hurt, he would transfer her away and she would never stay in the department again, even if her grandparents begged for mercy! Dou Nannan was so angry that she cried, but she still had to follow Shen Yu's instructions.

There was no way. She couldn't leave this unit. It had nothing to do with Shen Yu. She was extremely disappointed with that heartless man. There were so many good men in the world. Who would not live without him? Compared with men, she loved her job more. She was full of passion every day in this position. She believed that her ability would become stronger and stronger. One day she would sit in Shen Yu's position, or even higher than him! Dou Nannan fantasized about the future in her heart. When she came to her senses, she found that the suicidal woman was walking so fast and distanced herself from him. She hurried to chase her again.

"Meng Taohua!"

"My current name is Meng Tao."

Dou Nannan: “…” Even if you change your name, you are still a country girl and a bumpkin.

Dou Nannan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With someone to accompany her, she didn't have to worry so much.

After all, the situation here is not as peaceful and stable as back home. There are all kinds of gangster forces, and this woman seems to be quite capable. If she gets into trouble and can't handle it by herself, she won't be able to explain herself later.

Taking a closer look at Meng Tao's outfit, which looked like a moving jewelry box, Dou Nannan looked disdainful and asked, "Is it necessary to dress like this? Are these things on you real or fake?"

Could the jewelry given by Boss Tang be fake?

Meng Tao knew that Dou Nannan did it on purpose. As a noble lady in Beijing, she was naturally knowledgeable. The Dou family was as wealthy as the Xu family. Although nothing was revealed in public at this stage, they lived a privileged life in private and had everything they should have. How could she not tell whether the jewelry was real or fake? Meng Tao was too lazy to pay attention to her and walked to the side of the road to hail a taxi.

Dou Nannan: "What are you going to do?"

"I'm tired of walking, so I'll call a taxi."

"Just walk around here. Why are you calling a taxi? Where do you want to go?"

"If you want to follow me, be quiet. As an assistant and secretary, I don't want you to talk too much."

“…”

Dou Nannan was angry again, but there was nothing she could do. She couldn't just let a pregnant woman hail a taxi and get in it herself, so she had to walk to the front, stand in front of Meng Tao, and raise her hand to hail a taxi.

The two got in the car, and the driver asked where they were going. Meng Tao said two places and told the driver to take them anywhere. The driver enthusiastically told her that he had just taken two young ladies to Central, saying that a new store was opening in the mall today and there would be a lot of activities. Would they like to go there first? Meng Tao nodded and agreed. The driver couldn't keep quiet, probably because he thought this young lady was easy to talk to, so he chatted with Meng Tao about the local news and gossip about movie stars. Meng Tao occasionally agreed with him or asked a question, and the driver couldn't stop talking.

Dou Nannan was listening nearby and looked at Meng Tao with complicated eyes. She thought that this woman was really good at pretending. She sounded nonchalant yet had substance to her words, as if she was very familiar with the port city.

However, she was quite capable to be so pretentious. After all, she had made a point to get an in-depth understanding of Hong Kong before coming here. But the gossip that Meng Tao and the driver were talking about just now was basically unheard of by her, and she couldn't even get a word in.

When they arrived at the destination, Meng Tao paid the fare and gave a tip, which made the driver very happy.

Walking into the modern shopping mall with splendid decoration and a dazzling array of high-end goods, Dou Nannan, who considered himself a man who had seen the world, was overwhelmed and dazzled. Then he looked at Meng Tao beside him, who seemed calm and composed as if nothing was wrong, which made him seem shallow. He couldn't help but pout, feeling extremely unconvinced, thinking to himself, "Just pretend if you can, you hypocritical woman."

Seeing people coming and going, Meng Tao kept moving forward fearlessly. Dou Nannan couldn't stop her. If she said too much, the two of them would start a quarrel, and she couldn't afford to lose face in public, so she had to follow closely with great caution, always on guard to prevent anyone from squeezing Meng Tao's stomach.
