"I...I just found out that the eldest young master's study door is unlocked, so..."
"Oh." Although this reason seemed far-fetched even to Aunt Gui herself, the smart Axiang didn't say anything. Instead, she said with a normal expression: "The eldest lady asked you to prepare some preserves and send them to the back garden."
After hearing this, Aunt Gui quickly responded as if she was being pardoned: "Okay, I'll go right away! Then here..."
"I'll stay here. When you prepare the preserves, go to the eldest lady and get the key to the study."
After sending Aunt Gui away with a few words, Axiang stayed at the door and did not dare to leave, as if she was afraid that someone would suddenly break in again.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Jinyun quickly said anxiously: "It's not possible to continue like this, we have to think of a way..."
"Why, you see that the situation is not right and you are going to retreat?"
Cheng Jinyun glanced at the lighter that was tightly held by Mingtai, and said with a half-smile: "Of course, now that you have got the thing, then naturally you have to find a way to escape!"
As soon as these words came out, Mingtai couldn't help but be stunned. Then before he could react, Cheng Jinyun took the initiative to hug him and turned him out from behind the curtain.
Immediately afterwards, Axiang who was outside the door came in to check, and happened to see the two of them kissing passionately. His face quickly turned red, and he covered his eyes and shouted: "Young Master, you... you are so annoying.
.”
Mingtai quickly blushed and said anxiously: "Axiang, we are not... not what you think, we are just... just..."
"It's just that my earrings fell off. Master Ming is helping me find them, right?"
"Yes, yes, that's it. Why are you so careless?" Mingtai responded while pretending to look for him.
Axiang curled her lips and thought to herself: If you are intimate, just be intimate. How can anyone hug each other and run around looking for earrings? Who are you kidding? Humph!
But even so, Axiang still helped to find it. Not to mention, I actually found an earring on the carpet.
"Miss Cheng, do you think this is the earring you dropped?" Axiang asked as she leaned over to pick up the earring.
"Yes, that's this earring. Thank you, Axiang."
After saying this, Cheng Jinyun took the earrings and left the study as if running away.
Mingtai followed closely behind, and even told her not to complain to her elder brother when passing by Axiang. After receiving a positive reply from Axiang, she came to the living room with confidence and boldness.
At this time, Ming Jing and Mrs. Su had returned from the back garden and were chatting in the living room.
"I'm so sorry, Mrs. Su. I was too busy talking to sister Jinyun and didn't even come to say hello to you." As soon as he arrived at the entrance, Mingtai greeted Mrs. Su in a sweet and sensible manner.
Mrs. Su said with a smile: "You're welcome, Master Ming. From now on, just call me cousin!"
As soon as these words came out, Mingtai was stunned for a moment, and then reluctantly responded. Ming Jing nearby couldn't help but glance at him secretly, and quickly smoothed things over: "My little brother is so shy!"
"It's because I have a good tutor and Master Ming is sensible!"
These words of praise made even Mingtai feel a little embarrassed, and he quickly said diligently: "Cousin, you have tea!"
"Okay, okay!" Mrs. Su said "ok" three times in a row. She was obviously very satisfied with Mingtai as her sister-in-law. After taking a sip of tea, she turned to Ming Jing and said, "By the way, I'll find someone to settle the matter."
, there are a few good days for getting engaged this fall, why not just schedule their engagement ceremony in autumn, what do you think?"
As soon as Mingtai's marriage was mentioned, Ming Jing immediately became energetic and discussed it with Mrs. Su very seriously.
Taking advantage of this moment, Cheng Jinyun carefully approached Mingtai's ear and whispered: "Bring it here!"
Mingtai looked confused, "What are you bringing?"
"Of course it's what's in your lighter!"
Mingtai was a little surprised when he heard this, but then he simply turned his head to one side and said angrily: "Please understand, this is my lighter, why should I give it to you?"
"Do you understand what sharing of income means? Since I helped you solve the problem, I naturally have the right to get a share of the pie!"
At this point, Mingtai almost laughed out of anger, "Don't you really think that I can't escape without you?"
"Stop being so verbose! Do you want to give it to me?"
"If I don't give it, what can you do to me?" Mingtai said humbly.
"Then don't regret it!"
"If you have any more tricks, just come over here. If I..."
However, at this moment, Ming Jing suddenly turned around and asked: "What are you talking about?"
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Jinyun immediately made a small report to Mingjing, "Sister, I want to confiscate Mingtai's lighter."
As soon as these words came out, Mingtai's expression suddenly changed, and then he subconsciously reached for his pocket.
"Okay!" Ming Jing nodded and agreed to Cheng Jinyun's proposal almost without thinking, and then said to Mingtai in a commanding tone, "Why are you staring? Why don't you hand over the lighter to me quickly?"
When Ming Jing spoke, Ming Tai naturally didn't dare not listen, so even though he was extremely reluctant, he reluctantly took out the lighter and handed it into Cheng Jinyun's hand.
"It seems that you are much more cunning than I thought." Mingtai said angrily.
"That's not a good word."
Mingtai snorted, "I don't have so many good words for a little thief who only steals results!"
Cheng Jinyun didn't care, "Don't worry, I'm different from you. I'll share your share with you, but I'll have to wait until I finish reading it!"
…
After everyone chatted for a while, Mrs. Su took Cheng Jinyun and stood up to say goodbye. Ming Jing and Ming Tai enthusiastically walked the two of them to the gate.
Aunt Gui watched everyone go out, then looked towards the kitchen to see that Axiang was busy, then turned around and went straight to Mingtai's room, her steps were light but very fast.
Outside the mansion, Mingtai was standing next to Mingjing, watching Mrs. Su and Cheng Jinyun leave.
Aunt Gui in the mansion was like a headless fly, rummaging around for all the "evidence" that was unfavorable to the Ming family. However, when she skillfully pried open a locked drawer on Mingtai's desk, she found a few...
I found a hand-drawn building plan at the bottom of the test paper, and then I found a rental contract on Firework Street in a foreign novel.
These two things made Aunt Gui, who was suffering from the lack of progress in her task, feel like she had found a treasure. However, before she could take a closer look, she heard a rush of footsteps running towards them, so she immediately moved all the things as fast as possible.
He returned to his original position, and then pretended to be arranging fruits and waiting for people to come.
Soon, Mingtai opened the door and walked in.
Upon seeing this, Aunt Gui immediately put down the fruit plate in her hand and explained: "Young Master, there are a lot of fruits left in the kitchen, so I will bring them to you."
Mingtai pretended to be calm and said as calmly as possible: "Thank you Aunt Gui, you can just put it on the table."
"Okay." Aunt Gui said as she put the fruit plate down.
However, just as she was about to leave, Mingtai stopped her again: "Aunt Gui! In the future, when I'm not in the room, please don't go in and out of my room at will." Mingtai said coldly, obviously to Aunt Gui.
I felt very angry that I broke into my room without permission.
Aunt Gui was a little embarrassed: "Young Master, I..."
"Okay, it's okay, go down!"
Aunt Gui was speechless and walked out with her head lowered.
Mingtai immediately locked the door, then quickly walked to the desk, opened the locked drawer and checked it carefully. At first, he found nothing unusual, but when he saw the building plan and the rental contract
When signing the contract, even though I was a little confused, I was still shocked and broke out in a cold sweat!
However, just when Mingtai was about to burn those two things completely, Li Qiang's voice suddenly rang out, startling him severely.
"If I were you, I wouldn't destroy them so easily."
"Brother A Qiang, do you know that scary people can scare people to death?" Mingtai, who was still in shock, patted his chest and said to Li Qiang, who was squatting on the window sill, "So you are at home? I thought
You really went to Brother Mingtang’s place!”
As he spoke, Mingtai picked up the floor plan and the rental contract again, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Brother Aqiang, if I guess correctly, these should all be your masterpieces, right?"
"Not bad!" Li Qiang admitted unabashedly.
"What's the reason?"
"Isn't it obvious? Naturally, I want to use you as bait to lure the 'lone wolf' to the bait! Didn't you see how excited Aunt Gui was just now? Her eyes started to glow green!"
However, Mingtai was very dissatisfied, "How can it be so troublesome to deal with a mere lone wolf?"
"Hey, you don't understand this! This is just the first step in a series of plans that I am going to implement next, and the fun has just begun!"
"So you are only responsible for watching the show, and I have to be responsible for being framed, right?"
"That's right, if it were someone else, the effect would be greatly reduced!" At this point, Li Qiang saw that Mingtai was hesitant to speak, so he said to him, "What, you have an opinion? Although I am you
Your boss’s boss, but in this family I’m also your brother, so you can say whatever you want!”
"Can I curse?"
"Can't!"
"Then I have nothing to say."
…
A few days later, Uncle Li held an umbrella and walked on the bluestone road with few pedestrians in the drizzle. He couldn't help but recall that when he left home, it was the same weather, but the drizzle was still the same, but things had changed.
.
Uncle Li was walking aimlessly like this, but it seemed that there was God's will in the dark. He felt as if he was being pulled by an invisible force. In the cold wind and drizzle, his steps were getting faster and faster. Waiting for him
When he came back to his senses, he found that he was already standing outside the gate of Ming Mansion.
Looking at the warm lights in Ming Mansion, Uncle Li had an inexplicable urge to ring the doorbell. Just when his finger had touched the doorbell button, a melodious piano sound came from inside the mansion.
The sound came and went straight into his ears, causing him to wake up suddenly, but then the long-lost tears finally came out of his eyes and flowed down uncontrollably.
Because it was his wife's favorite song. Once upon a time, he thought he would never hear such a heart-beating voice again. Unexpectedly, God was wise, and not only did he find the news about his wife and son, but he also found out the news about his wife and son.
I compensated myself in this way.
The more Uncle Li thought about it, the more excited he became, but he still tried his best to control his emotions. He knew that he had to rein in his horse and tighten the reins. He was afraid that he would make a crazy move and create an uncontrollable situation.
In the end, driven by his strong will, Uncle Li turned around and left rationally. However, at this time, his heart was no longer confused, and even his steps became much lighter...
The next day was the day when Mingtai took over the flour mill. For this reason, Mingtai specially asked Cheng to prepare a grand reopening ceremony. The atmosphere was so lively.
At this point, Guo Qiyun and Yu Manli's public names for Mingtai were officially changed from "Lin Shao" to "Director", and Guo Qiyun changed even more, from a photographer at an East China studio to a
The deputy director of the flour mill, Manli, also worked as an office secretary. As for the radio station, it was logical and logical to secretly move it from the photo studio to the flour mill.
Even though the combined work experience of these three people is not as good as that of the youngest apprentice in the factory, the efficiency of the factory has not been reduced because of the arrival of these three laymen. On the contrary, it has increased a lot. And after this
As a result, Mingtai also understood the secret to making a steady profit in doing business, which is to "find a buyer first." As long as there is a buyer, you don't have to worry about selling things. As long as you can sell things, you will definitely make money.
After living in peace for a period of time, Guo Qiyun received another "ferry" message: "Pier 3, two cargoes, the price remains unchanged, you are responsible for the ferry."
But when Guo Qiyun and Yu Manli arrived at Pier 3 as scheduled, they found that Mingtai was already waiting there, and he couldn't help but feel a little "thump" in his heart.
In fact, not only him, but also Yu Manli became nervous unconsciously.
"Adjutant Guo, why didn't you inform me about the ferry tonight?" Mingtai asked with a dark face.
"Do it as usual, I think..."
"What do you think?" Mingtai suddenly cut off Guo Qiyun's words and snorted angrily, "You think I'm just a decoration, don't you?"
After saying that, Mingtai took a strong drag on the cigarette in his hand, and then blew a puff of smoke into Guo Qiyun's face.
Guo Qiyun immediately panicked, because even if he just smelled the smell of cigarettes, he already knew the brand of the cigarette, so he quickly lowered his head and said respectfully: "I don't dare!"
However, Mingtai still just snorted, then knocked Guo Qiyun away and walked straight to the warehouse.
Upon seeing this, Guo Qiyun quickly winked at Yu Manli, and then followed Mingtai in. Yu Manli immediately understood and carefully closed the door of the warehouse before following in...
