Chapter 39 Fang Li is here
Han Xi remained silent.
After a long silence, he suddenly asked, "How is she?"
This abrupt question caught Lin Mo off guard: "Her?"
Which "she"?
His mind raced, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him as he realized who his boss was asking about.
"Then... I'll go ask later?"
Han Xi raised his eyes and coldly swept them over.
Lin Mo: "I'll go ask right now!"
He hurriedly went out, and as soon as he stepped outside, he took out his phone and called Fang Li.
About ten minutes later, Lin Mo came back in.
His boss remained in the same posture he had left in, seemingly looking down at the documents in his hand. He glanced at them discreetly and saw that they were still on the same page.
Lin Mo coughed lightly as a reminder.
"Boss, my wife didn't answer my call."
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw his boss frown.
Lin Mo quickly said, "However, I just had someone check Madam's schedule and found..."
He looked at Han Xi cautiously, hesitant to speak.
Han Xi paused in his flipping through the documents, as if asking casually, "What did you find?"
Lin Mo swallowed hard and said, "Madam arrived in Beijing the day before yesterday, and she's been staying at the Haihuang International Hotel up ahead for the past two days."
Han Xi suddenly looked up, his gaze icy: "Where do you think she is?"
Lin Mo said in a panic, "In...in the capital."
呲la.
The sound of a chair rubbing together.
Before Lin Mo could react, he saw his boss stand up, grab a coat from the side, and stride out while putting it on.
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, then quickly chased after him.
"Boss, wait a minute!"
Han Xi had already entered the elevator, and he quickly slipped in: "I've found out that Madam is in Beijing this time to open some kind of studio. She's been looking for a location these past two days, and she seems to have dinner appointments tonight, so she shouldn't be at the hotel right now."
Lin Mo finished speaking in one breath.
The elevator happened to arrive at the underground parking garage.
"address."
Han Xi kept walking, his face gloomy, looking as if he was about to hit someone.
Lin Mo felt a chill run down his spine for Fang Li.
He quickly went over, opened the car door, and watched Han Xi get in before nervously saying, "Jin Ding Zhai."
The car started and quickly drove out of Han's underground parking garage.
Lin Mo gripped the steering wheel, his eyes constantly glancing furtively at the silent man in the rearview mirror.
The atmosphere in the company was already tense enough lately, and now...
He straightened his back, hoping that his wife would be more alert after seeing the messages he had sent earlier and prepare in advance.
……
Jin Ding Zhai.
Fang Li had been busy all day and finally found a small building that she was fairly satisfied with. She planned to go back to the hotel to rest, but Wen Yang said that the friend she had arranged to meet earlier had returned from a business trip.
With no other choice, she dragged her tired body and hurriedly went to keep the appointment with Wen Yang.
"I know you're tired, but this roast duck is especially delicious. Many locals love to come here. I went to great lengths to reserve a private room. You must try it later."
The two went inside, and Wen Yang easily pushed open the door to a private room. Inside, a mature and beautiful woman was already sitting, making a phone call.
Judging from the conversation, it was about work. As they were talking, the two people came in, and they quickly ended the call and put away their phones.
As soon as Wen Yang entered the door, she rushed towards the other person: "Niannian, it's been so long! Did you miss me?"
The woman was suddenly embraced tightly, staggered back several steps, and was forced to hug her back: "What do you think?"
She feigned anger and pushed Wen Yang away: "Why would I leave the capital so easily? Why would I miss you?"
"Sister Nian, I have my reasons, you know them and you're still deliberately angry with me."
The woman sighed and replied, "That's why I'm angry with you. I heard your brother is getting married. Is that why you came back?"
Wen Yang's smile froze. "No, I'm on a business trip for the company."
"It better be this way."
"Oh, alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Wen Yang put away her awkwardness and pulled Fang Li next to her, saying, "Let me introduce you. This is my college classmate and best friend, Xu Fangli, whom I told you about."
Fang Li smiled and said, "Hello."
The woman smiled and extended her hand to Fang Li: "I am Liu Nian, Wen Yang's former neighbor."
"Neighbor?"
The round table was quite large, but the three of them only sat on half of it.
The waiter poured tea for everyone, and Wen Yang excitedly introduced: "To be precise, Sister Nian and I were neighbors for less than three years. Later, her father was transferred to a job in the Dongcheng District, but that still didn't stop me from visiting her often."
Liu Nian smiled, seemingly recalling the past: "You also said that back then she would often sneak out alone in the middle of the night. When she had nowhere to go, she would only come to me. My house was almost her palace. Half of the things in my room belonged to her."
As Fang Li listened to the two reminiscing about the past, she felt as if she were seeing Wen Yang as a child.
In her memory, Wen Yang was already a cool and aloof goddess during her university years. Although she has discovered over the years that Wen Yang is actually delicate and affectionate in private, she never expected that she was so rebellious when she was a child.
Fang Li didn't know much about Wen Yang's family.
All I know is that her mother is a Chinese language teacher at a public elementary school, her father is a junior staff member at the district grain bureau, and she has an older brother who is about two years younger than Xu Fangye and is said to be a department manager at a large company.
Soon after, the dishes began to be served one after another.
As they chatted, they finally got to the main topic.
It was only then that Fang Li learned that Liu Nian actually worked for the Han family.
Wen Yang said, "Nianjie studied business administration in college, and after graduation she went directly to Han's Group. Now she is the director of human resources at Han's Group."
"The Han family?"
Seeing Fang Li's expression, Wen Yang chuckled: "You don't know about the Han family in the capital, do you?"
Fang Li: "......."
When she fell silent, the two people opposite her looked at her with strange expressions.
Fang Li chuckled: "How could that be?"
Although the Han family's headquarters are located in the capital, its related hotels, jewelry brands, supermarkets, and even energy industries have long been spread all over the world.
Even if Fang Li wanted to cover it up, she couldn't possibly pretend that even the Han family didn't know.
Moreover, since their parting in Hangzhou, he has seemed to have vanished without a trace, except for sending a message the day he sent someone to deliver a gift to his grandfather, and then there has been no further contact.
Especially when she woke up that morning, she actually saw a video call with Han Xi on her phone.
Although it was Han Xi who called, she actually answered, and they chatted for almost three minutes.
Fang Li immediately replied to the message, wanting to ask him if he had said anything inappropriate.
As a result, I haven't received a reply to that message yet.
Fang Li didn't believe he hadn't seen it, so there was only one possibility: she might have said something that angered him.
Fang Li thought about it for several days, from Haicheng to Beijing, racking her brains, but still couldn't remember anything.
She dared not think about what they talked about in those three minutes.
This inexplicable coldness, reminiscent of the Cold War, has left Fang Li somewhat neurasthenic these past two days.
They didn't notice anything wrong with Fang Li.
The two resumed their lively conversation. Fang Li listened quietly for a while, then stood up and said, "You two continue chatting, I'm going to the restroom."
