I took a taxi to the Shangri-La Hotel. As soon as I entered the lobby, I ran into Min Rou.
Min Rou was still dressed in a business suit, but unlike the business suit she wore yesterday, she was wearing trousers instead of a pencil skirt. The left side of her hair was pinned behind her ear by a delicate and cute metal hairpin, revealing only half of her charming face. When she bumped into me, she was holding a stack of documents in her arms.
“The young and rich Mr. Chu actually came here by taxi, aren’t you afraid of being seen by the Shu family?” When Min Rou saw me, her face darkened and she immediately stopped smiling.
I looked at the tea table where she got up, then at the bright glass windows, “Oh, I see, you sat there just to peep at me.” I said with a smile.
“Bah,” Min Rou’s face flushed red, and she denied angrily, “Why would I peep at you? I was… I was…”
Maybe it was because she was teased by me yesterday, Min Rou was very nervous. She was obviously sitting there waiting for me, but after instinctively denying it, she couldn’t think of any other excuses. She was hired to do those things to me after all, I shouldn’t give her a hard time. Thinking that what I did to her was indeed a bit too much, I smiled and said, “Dealing business documents? Are you very busy?”
Min Rou was dazed and then hurriedly said, “Yes, it’s business documents. Do you think I’m as free as you? Went missing without telling anyone since morning, who knows what you have been doing this whole morning.”
I asked playfully, “Is it you who want to know where I went this morning or the Third Lady?”
Min Rou could hear the dissatisfaction in my tone, she turned her face and said with disdain, “None of us wants to know about it.”
But I still said, “I was fooling around with other women.”
Curiosity seemed to be innate in women, Min Rou couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Which woman? Cheng Liusu or Shu Tong?”
I couldn’t help but frown. Was she really bad at acting, or she really didn’t know about it?
“Xue Ziyuan.”
Min Rou’s expression froze for a second, then she smiled stiffly, “You found out?”
I smiled coldly and asked, “What do you think?”
“You don’t need to test me. When the Third Lady instructed me, she only told me not to tell you everything. She didn’t ask me to hide everything from you.” Min Rou walked to the elevator and said, “Yes, Miss Xue was arranged to work in Fengchang Corporate Group by her.”
Although I wanted to ask her why she would do something like this, I knew she wouldn’t tell me.
But one thing I could be sure of now was that Min Rou was working for the Third Lady.
Seeing that I was calm and didn’t seem to want to ask her any questions, Min Rou murmured with surprise, “You are a man that is really difficult to understand.”
Seeing that I no longer asked her any questions about the Third Lady, Min Rou also did not take the initiative to mention it. It could be seen that this young woman not only obeyed the Third Lady, but she was also very smart. She would never allow herself to accidentally reveal some information to me.
After we walked into the elevator, she suddenly said, “By the way, there is one thing that you probably don’t know, Miss Shu and Miss Cheng didn’t come to the hotel today, and Shu Tong’s family members went out this morning. They only came back half an hour ago…”
As soon as she mentioned this, I felt very heavy-hearted. I nodded and no longer had any interest in talking to her. But soon, I noticed that Min Rou kept staring at me without saying anything. Feeling very uncomfortable by her stare, I couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you staring at me?”
“Huh? Oh, nothing…”
For a girl to keep staring at a man, it was indeed a very embarrassing thing. Min Rou quickly looked away, and the atmosphere in the elevator immediately became very awkward. Only after a while did Min Rou say, “When you showed your sentimental side, you weren’t that bad.”
I couldn’t help but chuckle, “I’m not that bad? Little girl, all men are bad.”
Min Rou sneered teasingly, “You are a man? I’m sorry, you don’t look like a man to me.”
She definitely still held a grudge against me for touching her thigh yesterday. I smiled evilly while reaching out my hand to pinch her chin, and said teasingly, “I think you not only know that I am a man, but you also know that I am a very dangerous man. Otherwise, why don’t you wear a skirt today?”
“You…” Seeing that her thoughts had been seen through by me, Min Rou stepped back and stood close to the wall, putting on a self-defense fighting posture, “I’m afraid of the cold!”
“It was much colder yesterday, alright.” I couldn’t help but laugh, “Since you are afraid of me, why bother to come over? Are you not afraid that I will take advantage of you again?”
“I wouldn’t come if I was afraid!” Min Rou’s voice was very loud, but there was no confidence in her voice. “Don’t you dare think that you can scare me away. The Third Lady said that you are just bluffing, and as long as I don’t do anything to make you angry, you wouldn’t do anything to me. Besides, even if you did something to me, I would not regret it. After all, this kind of thing is very common in the business world.”
Money and lust are indeed the two most common means of communication, especially in the business world. The combination of these two interests is bound to lead to some dirty unspoken rules. How many men aren’t lustful? Even women are also the same…
But it was obvious that Min Rou had only heard of it but never actually experienced it before. Otherwise, why was she so nervous? She was right. At best, I would just pretend to take advantage of her. Even if she made me angry, I would not really do anything to her.
“You always say the Third Lady this and the Third Lady that, you make it sound like she knows me very well.”
Seeing that I had no intention to keep ‘touching’ her, Min Rou was relieved. After all, there were only two of us in this small space. If I really wanted to do something, she would not be able to do anything. Letting out a sigh, she said, “Of course, she is a very wise person. But she also said that you are the first man she can’t understand. That’s why she is very interested in you…”
“Oh?” I calmly said, “Has she ever dealt with me personally before?”
“Hee hee, Mr. Chu, this trick of yours is useless to me,” Min Rou blinked her big eyes and said proudly, “If you think that I would fall for this trick, the Third Lady wouldn’t have assigned this task to me.”
As I expected, this kind of trick would not work on her. I smiled helplessly and shook my head. I was not surprised nor discouraged.
Min Rou looked at me thoughtfully. After the elevator door opened, she sighed, “Now I kind of understand why the Third Lady treats you differently, Mr. Chu, maybe you are really a little man, but you really don’t look like a little man… I’m not saying that you could clearly use this opportunity to take advantage of me, but you didn’t. After all, a hypocrite would also do something similar. Maybe you are just a coward, and you are actually scared of the consequences…”
Damn this woman, she really had a sharp tongue. Although she was beautiful, it did not mean that I had to do something to her, right? She really had too much confidence in herself. And she actually said I was a coward? Who did she think she was? Mo Fei? I was simply not interested in her!
Min Rou didn’t seem to see my unhappy expression. She continued, “I admire some other aspects of you, such as… I know that the Third Lady’s every move makes you feel strange, and you feel very uneasy, but you didn’t show it on your face. I know you have a lot of things to ask me, but because you know that I would not tell you, so you didn’t ask me…
“The Third Lady said to me a long time ago that calmness under absolute disadvantage is 100% a pretense, and the only difference between extraordinary people and ordinary people is who can make this pretense look more convincing. I’ve known the Third Lady for a very long time, and dealt with many kinds of people for her, but only until now I was able to truly understand what the Third Lady meant when she said that to me.”
I didn’t understand why she would say this, but I wouldn’t tell her that it was just my habit, “You have overestimated me, I’m not an extraordinary person.”
Min Rou shook her head and said with some envy, “She will make you an extraordinary person.”
I looked at Min Rou coldly, “So this is her purpose?”
“I don’t know what purpose she has. that’s not something I should ask,” Min Rou smiled, “But I know that she does owe you favors, and she never likes to owe others things, so I believe that she has no malicious intentions, and… She is a bit weird, but she is really not a bad person. So Mr. Chu, you shouldn’t worry too much about her.”
She was not a bad person? From the fact that she used Ziyuan, I really couldn’t agree with her.
Then Min Rou smiled, revealing two dimples, and said, “Mr. Chu, or, let’s make an agreement? If you swear not to bully me in the future, I will assure you that if the Third Lady really wants to give you a hard time, I will intercede for you. How does that sound? It may not look like it, but I’m actually one of the few people who can persuade the Third Lady.”
I took a taxi to the Shangri-La Hotel. As soon as I entered the lobby, I ran into Min Rou.
Min Rou was still dressed in a business suit, but unlike the business suit she wore yesterday, she was wearing trousers instead of a pencil skirt.
