Chapter 182 Next time it’s your turn to call, then you’ll know if you’re thirsty or not
The crisp sound of whiskey being poured into an ice ball could be heard from the other end of the line. The sound of Huo Beiyan's Adam's apple rolling as he swallowed the liquor was clearly audible: "What if Lu Shiman finds out that you're investigating her brother behind her back?"
"Not check." Ji Linshen corrected.
"I'll give you a hand. By the time you get to the top on your own, the grass on my grave will probably be three meters high." Huo Beiyan teased.
"That's really troublesome for you, Mr. Huo. Do you want me to make a banner and send it to your office?"
"No need for the banner, but I'll send you the check."
"Remember to raise your pillow when you sleep at night." Ji Linshen chuckled, "There are all kinds of dreams."
Huo Beiyan didn't want to listen to him and hung up the phone directly.
The information was sent immediately after the call ended.
When Ji Linshen opened the encrypted email, his knuckles tapped unconsciously on the edge of the mahogany table.
The blue light reflected on his lenses, and the scroll bar continued to sink, cutting the screen into light and dark blocks.
The "Howard Johnson Group" logo is flashing on the first line of the document, and the cursor is pinned to the project proposal of the "Western Suburb Eco-City Development Project."
The cursor stopped at the project document of the "Green Building Demonstration Zone". This original industrial polluted land was tampered with into residential land.
The appraisal report was falsified, replacing the actual inspection results with data from adjacent plots from ten years ago.
In addition to these, there are also capital arbitrage and yin-yang contract chains.
Every part fits perfectly and is linked to each other. This is obviously a carefully planned conspiracy against the Lu family company.
Ji Lin looked at the document deeply, rubbing his knuckles with his fingertips, as if thinking about something.
Lu Yannan was able to bring Howard Johnson Group to its current position, it is impossible for him to be manipulated so easily.
A large-scale project was exploited so easily. I'm afraid there must be a traitor.
No wonder Huo Beiyan is so confident, this is indeed a powerful weapon to please his brother-in-law.
I looked up at the clock and saw the hands slowly moving towards two o'clock in the morning.
Ji Linshen closed his computer and planned to go to Lu Yannan Company again tomorrow.
The night is thick as ink.
Lu Shiman was woken up by thirst in the middle of the night, but found that Ji Linshen was not around.
I woke up half asleep and just as I reached the bedroom door, I saw it was opened.
"Why did you wake up?"
"I'm thirsty. Where have you been?" Lu Shiman walked to the table, picked up the cup, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it in a few gulps.
"Take care of some work." Ji Linshen walked up to her and took the cup away: "Go to bed, I'll pour you a glass of water and put it on the bedside."
Lu Shiman nodded obediently and walked towards the bedroom. After taking two steps, she stopped and turned around, looking at Ji Linshen: "Next time, prepare water by the bed in advance."
After saying that, he gave Ji Lin a deep look: "You don't need to drink, and you don't shout, so why should I shout?"
"Next time it's your turn to scream, then you'll know if you're thirsty or not." Lu Shiman said, hummed softly, and returned to bed.
In the living room, Ji Linshen's hands trembled as he poured water.
The sun shines through the clouds, it's a rare good day.
Qin Jiaojiao called Lu Shiman early in the morning and asked her to come to her house to play.
Ji Linshen had two meetings in the morning and a round of golf in the afternoon.
After going twice, she lost interest.
Sitting on the bed, Lu Shiman stared at the sunlight outside the window in a daze.
Ji Linshen came out of the shower and was a little surprised to see her awake.
Hearing the noise, Lu Shiman retracted his gaze and looked at Ji Linshen: "I'm going to Jiaojiao's house today."
"Okay, let the driver take you there." Ji Linshen didn't know when he stopped restricting her and let her follow him at any time.
Maybe he knew that even if she left, she would come back to him.
"What do you want to eat tonight? Tell the kitchen to make it in advance. I have a dinner party tonight, so you don't have to wait for me." Ji Linshen walked to the bed, picked her up from the bed, and walked towards the bathroom.
Lu Shiman stared at him: "Don't you really feel like a single father taking care of a mentally retarded daughter?"
Ji Linshen felt a little helpless, and what he wanted to say finally turned into a sigh.
"How about I call you Dad Ji from now on? Dad Ji, look at this room. Isn't it big? It's just like your..."
Her lips were pinched by slender fingers, and Lu Shiman's microphone was manually muted.
After breakfast, the cars were ready. One driver took Ji Linshen to the company, and another driver took Lu Shiman to Qin Jiaojiao.
Lu Shiman was a little reluctant and held Ji Linshen for a long time before turning around and getting in the car.
Before getting in the car, Lu Shiman paused and stared at the bodyguard who opened the car door for a long time.
Chu Qi closed the car door for Ji Linshen and was about to get in the car when he saw his wife and the bodyguard looking at each other affectionately.
Ji Linshen also saw it, and half-lowered the car window to give Chu Qi a look.
Chu Qi gave instructions and trotted up to the two of them.
The bodyguard felt a little uneasy when Lu Shiman stared at him, and he stammered, "Husband..."
Before he could even utter the word "ren", he suddenly remembered that Brother Chu said that he couldn't call her "Madam" in front of the Madam. After all, their young master was still just a lover.
"Ms. Lu...Miss Lu, is there something on my face?" The bodyguard was nervous and began to review the situation. Was it because he used his left hand to open the car door just now that the lady didn't like it?
Or, did you secretly pick your nose and your wife saw you, and she was disgusted with you?
What should I do? Is this the end of my career as a security guard, no, a bodyguard?
Chu Qi walked up to the two of them and winked at the bodyguard to leave.
"Miss Lu, there is..."
When Lu Shiman saw the bodyguard was about to leave, he immediately stopped him: "Stop."
The bodyguard squatted down, almost crying. Last night, when he was hiding in the quilt reading the novel "Mrs. Gu is Hot", he complained that whose CEO's bodyguard was fired by the young lady with just a glance.
So, novels come from reality?
Is he going to become a part of the play in the rich family's love affair?
"Did you throw away or eat the wheel cakes you queued up to buy yesterday?" When Lu Shiman saw him, he remembered that he had asked him and another bodyguard to queue up to buy cakes yesterday.
The bodyguard turned around, his head full of questions.
"You won't throw it away, will you?"
"I ate it." The bodyguard answered honestly.
They ate the cakes while they were still hot before calling Brother Chu.
"Is it tasty?"
The bodyguard nodded: "Delicious."
"Then you guys go line up again today, buy a few more flavors, and send them to Huo Beiyan's villa." Lu Shiman couldn't fall asleep after lying down after drinking water in the middle of the night last night.
My mind was full of the wheel cake that I asked the bodyguard to queue up for during the day.
I was unwilling to accept that I didn’t get to eat it.
Chu Qi: “…”
"Okay, sure, I'll be there in a minute." The bodyguard was delighted. Not only was he not fired, but he could also eat cake again.
Lu Shiman got into the car and looked at Chu Qi: "What are you doing here? Do you want to eat wheel cakes too?"
Chu Qi pursed his lips: "I don't want to eat, I'll come..."
Just as he was thinking of a reason, he saw the bodyguard about to close the car door. He took a step back calmly, put his hands at his sides and pulled the bodyguard aside.
"Come and close the car door for Miss Lu." He took over the bodyguard's position, closed the car door, and watched the car drive away with a smile on his face.
The bodyguard stood there, looking at Chu Qi in shock.
Chu Qi turned around and glanced at the bodyguard: "Why are you looking at me?"
The bodyguard curled his lips and said, "Brother Chu, can I buy you a wheel cake?"
