"Talk about something? Lord, what do you want to talk about?" she asked curiously.
"While you go, Mommy is packing the biscuits for Aunt Zhang. If you want to know something, ask your dad when he comes later."
She was still being mysterious, what on earth were they doing behind her back?
"By the way, aren't you at work at this time? Why did you come to the store in your spare time?" Ignoring her suspicious look, Xia's mother changed the subject.
Rolling his eyes speechlessly, Xia Baoer ignored his mother's second question.
"Girl! Don't run away, tell me! Why are you here during working hours?"
There was no way to escape. She picked up the hot milk tea on the side and took a sip. She announced with a smile: "What else can I do? I'm resigning."
"Resign...what's going on? Didn't you get a good job?" Xia's mother widened her eyes in surprise and asked her puzzledly: "Why did you resign just because you ignored it? It's not that the company's treatment is good, it's a person who
A big company?" I just went home to have dinner with my boss, why did I say I was resigning today?
Something weird——
The person who was being questioned calmly spread her hands and said, "It's nothing. I don't think it's suitable and I don't want to do it." She said easily, not wanting to worry her.
"Don't beat around the bush! Tell me, what happened? Were you bullied by someone from their company?" Xia's mother asked aggressively, not allowing her daughter to be perfunctory.
If her daughter suffers a loss, she doesn't care about any big company, she must go and settle the accounts! Humph——
"No, don't worry, mother!" Seeing her mother's nervous look, she quickly explained with a smile: "My friend doesn't want me to work hard. He said he wants to support me, so I won't go to work."
"That's it?" Xia's mother frowned and looked at her daughter suspiciously, "And are you sure your boyfriend really wants to support you? Didn't you say you don't like to have free time and want to be independent? How can you be so easily taken into your boyfriend's pocket?
Destroyed?"
"Um...did I say that?" She didn't answer, pretending to be dumbfounded and trying to get away with it.
"You fell out of me, so stop pretending to be stupid with me. Tell me, what is going on?"
Seeing her mother like this, Xia Baoer sighed helplessly: "Didn't I tell my mother? Do you think there is anything else you can do?"
"Did your boyfriend ask you to resign because he knew your boss was interested in you? Isn't that right?"
After being stunned for a moment, Xia Baoer then said with a look of admiration: "Hey, my mother is so annoying that you can definitely become a private detective."
"Don't do this to me. I'm not your father. Don't talk nonsense!" Xia's mother glared at her daughter and blocked her with words.
A certain little face had a look of embarrassment, it seemed that my mother was really annoying.
She sat down next to her mother with a playful smile and hugged her shoulders coquettishly: "My dear mother, your daughter has someone to take care of her, so she doesn't have to endure hardships outside. Isn't that nice?"
"Of course we are the happiest when you can enjoy happiness. However, you are not married, which will form a dependence in the long run. If one day they don't want you, it will be very difficult for you to reintegrate into this competitive society.
It’s difficult.” She warned her dumbfounded daughter thoughtfully, Xia’s mother was serious.
Unexpectedly, his good intentions would lead to a disapproving curl of his lips, "Humph, if this happens, it's because I don't want him, okay?"
"Go, look at you, you're so proud. Why are you so sure of winning this family? You can't continue like this." Looking sideways at his daughter, Xia Yuguo was very serious.
"Hey, it's okay." Xia Baoer smiled evilly like a little fox. Xia Baoer squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Don't worry about me. I have my own sense of discretion when it comes to doing things."
She poked her daughter's forehead angrily, and Xia's mother snorted, "If you weren't my daughter, I wouldn't worry about it."
"No matter what, I will buy a stake in your store from now on, learn how to make cookies with you, and help you take care of it."
"Forget it, you are so rough, don't destroy my sign." Mother Xia looked disgusted.
Hearing this, the little man suddenly widened his black eyes and protested in disbelief, "Well, mother, you are so annoying. How could you say such a thing about your own daughter?"
Xia's mother glared at her: "This is a fact, but you still have to learn what you should learn. If you don't go to work, you can just learn more about cooking at home."
"No, I don't want to." She curled her lips. She wouldn't do it if she was asked to stay at home and serve a man three meals a day.
Although she said it so casually, not working is only temporary. She will find a job again, but she must first fix someone's thoughts.
"You little girl, what do you know about movies? If you want to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach..."
Xia Baoer wailed in her heart. She was most afraid of hearing this kind of traditional theory!
The superiors seemed to hear her thoughts, and after a while, Xia's father came to the store.
"My lord, you are here!" As if seeing a savior, a certain bird hurriedly evacuated its mother who was chanting sutras and went towards her father.
"Eh? Girl, why are you here?" Xia's father asked in slight surprise, holding his daughter in his arms.
Xia's mother on the side was not angry and told him roughly what happened, not forgetting to say a few words.
"If you don't want to do it, just do it. It's no big deal." Xia's father was very open-minded.
Anyway, his daughter is his treasure, and he can't bear to let her work overtime so late every day.
"See, the Lord understands me best." He happily kissed his father hard, and he really got an advantage and behaved well.
"By the way, the Lord just went to talk to someone about something. What was it?"
Father Xia smiled and said, "Nothing, it's an old friend. He wants to set up a fish farm in the suburbs and asked me if I am interested."
"My lord, do you also want to invest?"
Father Xia nodded: "Anyway, there's nothing to do when I'm free at home, and I don't need much money at home, so I quite like it."
"I support you." Someone raised his hand and supported unconditionally.
She knew clearly in her heart that after her father retired, his life would be comfortable but boring, so it would be okay to find something to do. With a roll of her eyes, she suddenly raised her voice and said: "I think the Lord is too busy for me alone, so why don't you let me do it?"
How about joining too?"
Father Xia thought for a while and said happily: "This is a good idea." He couldn't wish for his daughter to be with him every day. "Firstly, it can kill time, and secondly, I can earn you some dowry money."
Xia Baoer nodded repeatedly, turned around and asked, "So, mother, what do you mean?"
Pretending to be interested, Xia's mother said coolly: "You two, father and daughter, are having such a great time discussing it, why do you still need to ask me for my opinion?"
Seeing this, the father and daughter immediately walked over, one to the left and the other to the right, and said flatteringly: "Of course, you are the head of the family."
After giving them an angry and funny look, Xia's mother said, "Okay, then let's go see it as a family sometime."
***……
In a secret box, there were several people waiting, some of whom had Western faces with blue eyes and blond hair.
"Excuse me, when will your police officer come?" A foreign man who spoke not standard Chinese came over and asked softly.
"Please wait a moment, he still has some things to deal with and will be here soon."
While everyone was talking, the door to the box was pushed open, and a tall and handsome figure walked in.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long." As soon as he entered the door, Gu Xiangdong apologized to the people present and shook hands with people from abroad one by one to express his apology.
The two parties exchanged polite greetings, and after he sat down, they immediately got down to business.
"Everyone, do you have any news?"
"Our police have determined that Anderu has colluded with criminals in your country and intends to conduct illegal transactions in this city."
"Follow the clues provided by the undercover lurking next to him. Andelu will attend a foundation opening ceremony when he enters the country in the near future."
Listening to their reports carefully, Gu Xiangdong looked calm and asked seriously: "Have you found the specific time?"
"I'm not sure yet. The drug lord is very wary. Even the caring people around him may not be completely trusted by him. He is very difficult to deal with."
"Does he have any weaknesses?" Another detective who didn't know Anderu very well asked.
"Yes, Andelu is greedy for money and lustful. These two things are his weaknesses." Gu Xiangdong nodded and said in a deep voice. With a frown, he broke the silence again, "But, Andelu is very cunning.
The woman he wants will be taken away only after making sure everything is safe, and the money will not be handed over to him personally, so his whereabouts are very mysterious."
"disguise?"
"Should we use a honey trap to deal with him?"
The police officer from Germany agreed: "Based on this assumption, finding a woman to be an undercover agent might lower his guard. I heard that he is very interested in Oriental women."
"Here? Who should be sent?"
For a moment, everyone looked at each other and couldn't think of a suitable candidate. After all, it was a very dangerous task, and it couldn't be completed by just sending just one person. Moreover, the opponent was still such a big boss, so it couldn't be easily dealt with.
After everyone deliberated for a while, Gu Xiangdong concluded, "This matter must be discussed in the long run. I will go back and sort out the relevant information collected and submit it. We will study together what plan will be given at that time and try to find the most suitable plan."
.”
Everyone also expressed their agreement and ended this Sino-foreign cooperation meeting.
***……
In an exclusive office located in a high-rise building.
Nan Muli sat in a high-backed leather chair, clasping his hands, and stared at the setting sun outside the window. The afterglow fell all over him, and his face was expressionless as if wearing a mask. His steel-like shoulders were tense, and there was no expression on his face.
Listen to every word of the assistant without missing a word.
"Mr. Nan, we have found out what you told us. They came to this city this time to participate in the launch ceremony of the foundation. Secretly, they seem to have other purposes."
Turning his chair, Nan Muli narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the assistant who was reporting. "Continue."
The assistant nodded, "They seemed to be targeting Miss Xia to find something very important from her." In response to his instructions, Yun Xiu conducted an in-depth investigation, but what surprised him was that the Ms. Xia they were investigating had a simple background.
She lives a simple and clean life, but I still can't figure out why she is related to these people?
"What's something important? Have you found out?" Nan Muli frowned in thought, and asked in a deep voice, but seemed to have thought of something else.
"Looking at how anxiously they were looking for it, it must be something very remarkable. However, the last burglary incident alerted the police, which also made those people taboo, so they only dared to secretly monitor every move of Miss Xia's family. You see
Do you want……"
Nan Muli frowned and said in a cold voice: "Ande Lu has been very close to his adoptive father in the past year, so we can't disturb him yet."
"Yes, in addition to these, I also received news that Anderu has now been listed as a surveillance target by Interpol."
Moving so fast? It seems that there are still a few policemen who are not vegetarians.
Nan Muli's face was solemn as he tapped the table with his slender fingers. He knew that Anderu was a drug lord who smuggled and trafficked drugs. Will they have any ulterior conspiracy when they come here this time? Will they talk to their adoptive father?
Is it relevant?
He didn't know the specific details. Although he came from there, he started his own business since independence. In fact, his business had nothing to do with the Black Hell Gate and his adoptive father.
Although the Black Hell Sect started out as a gangster, as the times progressed, it abandoned the old and adopted new ideas and kept up with the legal consciousness, so it was able to stand firmly in both black and white circles. However, the Black Hell Sect has made some unusual moves recently.
It made him suspicious.
"With the intervention of the police, they should not dare to act rashly. Continue to follow closely and find out who is controlling and controlling the Asia-Pacific Foundation." According to his understanding of his adoptive father, he did not think that his adoptive father would do this kind of thing.
Philanthropy is of interest.
Yun Xiu on the other side was surprised, Mr. Nan actually suspected Yan Men?
Although he was confused, as Nan Muli's subordinate, he did not ask any more questions and nodded respectfully: "Yes."
After taking a look at the time, Nan Muli stood up from his chair: "If there is nothing else, let's get here first."
"Is Mr. Nan going back?" Yun Xiu asked rigorously and politely with his legs together and his hands close to his pants.
"No, you go back first, you don't have to follow me today."
"Are you going to pick up Miss Xi?" After following him for many years, Yun Xiu was his most loyal and trustworthy subordinate. He couldn't help but curious and asked more questions, but Nan Muli didn't feel impatient.
Maybe it's because you're in a good mood today?
"Yes." He responded calmly. When Nan Muli thought of a certain face in his mind, his expression showed a rare softness.
It's almost time to get off work, and this is her last day at work.
Thinking of her compromise, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his cold lips with a slightly less obvious arc. She really still cared about him!
He keenly caught the subtle changes on the owner's face and the knowing smile.
Just as he was about to walk out, Nan Muli's cell phone rang at that moment.
Qingyue's music ringtone is also exclusive. You don't need to look at it to know who is calling. He took out his mobile phone and heard a familiar and sweet voice coming from the other end. The curve of Nan Muli's lips widened.
"Mr. Li..." The soft voice called out his name, instantly melting the coldness on his handsome face.
"Well, are you out? I'll be there soon." It was still a concise response, but the voice was unusually soft.
