Chapter 41: The Hidden Secret
Xia Mingzhu was stunned and felt something was wrong.
However, Zhou Ziyan quickly returned to normal, but his tone was relatively indifferent: "Actually, I am an orphan. I have never seen my father since I was born. When I was seventeen, my mother died of illness. I was in my second year of high school at that time. My mother saved me a sum of money to support me in school, high school, college, and when I was studying abroad, I received a scholarship. I have been alone for so many years and I have been used to it."
Xia Mingzhu still felt a little bit of sympathy. Her family was poor since childhood, but better than Zhou Ziyan, her parents were both healthy and had no illness or disaster. She was the only daughter. Although her parents loved and favored her, due to her ability, she knew since she was a child that she had to rely on her to break out her world.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Ziyan's life experience is so miserable, but Xia Mingzhu also admires Zhou Ziyan's ability. As for his current status and savings, at least he did it himself. To be honest, how many people at this age like Zhou Ziyan can buy a car and a house as easy as him? How many are they still living by their parents?
"I'm sorry..." Xia Mingzhu said apologetically after stopping.
"It's okay, I'm used to it." Zhou Ziyan waved his hand indifferently and replied.
When Xia Mingzhu looked at him again, she naturally felt that her relationship was closer. Of course, it was not "feelings", but she felt that she and Zhou Ziyan were "same" and people who were sympathetic. However, she was sure that she would not have feelings for Zhou Ziyan, because she and Zhou Ziyan were the same, and their ideals might be the same, so love could not be developed.
Seeing Xia Mingzhu tilting her head and thinking heavy expression, Zhou Ziyan smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, do you like climbing mountains?"
When Zhou Ziyan suddenly asked this question, Xia Mingzhu pondered for a while before answering: "It's not that I like it or not, I rarely do such things. When I have time, I just exercise and climb a mountaineering. I have had it when I was in junior high school and high school before, but I have never done such activities after going to college. Actually, I am looking forward to it!"
Zhou Ziyan smiled. Xia Mingzhu was not looking forward to climbing a mountain, but to the opportunity to be with Jiang Haoran.
Xia Mingzhu pondered, nothing happened to her and Jiang Haoran that night. After Jiang Haoran sent her to her place to live, she left without stopping. Although she was still a little disappointed, Jiang Haoran was at least much closer to her than before, which was also a kind of improvement. If there were more opportunities to contact her in the future, maybe Jiang Haoran would fall in love with her and she would not be able to live without her.
He looked up at Zhou Ziyan secretly, and saw him half lying on the sofa and pondering. Suddenly, he felt a vague feeling. Zhou Ziyan had a secret hidden in his body that he could not tell.
Zhou Ziyan took a mint chewing gum from the small plate on the coffee table and put it in his mouth. A cool breath penetrated from his throat and into his mind, and he suddenly felt extremely awake.
She looked up at Xia Mingzhu, and she also happened to look at him. The two of them looked at each other. Xia Mingzhu smiled and said, "Manager Zhou, I always feel like you have some secret..."
Zhou Ziyan trembled, and his face flashed with surprise. Then he pretended to be a smile and said, "As I, of course there are secrets. I think everyone has secrets. For example, some people secretly saved up private money, some did things against their worries, and some did good things. Maybe they all hid these secrets in their hearts and didn't tell anyone, "Ah, I, haha, I actually have quite a lot of secrets..."
"Yes." Xia Mingzhu also agreed with Zhou Ziyan's statement. The idea of having a secret to Zhou Ziyan was just a moment of feeling, and then it passed away with the wind. What if there is a secret, it doesn't matter to her. As he said, anyone has no secret of his own, she also has it, that is, she wants to become a real wealthy family, and naturally she will not tell anyone this secret.
It was almost time for He Xiaolin to get off work. On the other side, He Xiaolin happened to come over quickly and said with a embarrassed look when she came to the two of them, "Sister Mingzhu, Brother Zhou, I'm so embarrassed. My brother just called and said to me that he had something to do and said that he couldn't go to dinner with you later. This... I'm so embarrassed that you have been waiting for so long..."
Xia Mingzhu said "Oh" and stood up and said, "It's okay, then find time to have dinner together in the future."
Zhou Ziyan also shook his head and smiled at He Xiaolin, saying, "It's okay, then you can do it."
He Xiaolin was embarrassed to send them out of the store until she saw Xia Mingzhu leaving in the car.
Xia Mingzhu drove the car and glanced at the time and said to Zhou Ziyan: "If Xiaolin doesn't go, I think we will do our own things as well. Time is tight. I'll do some beauty care. I'll talk about camping preparations when I arrive at the company tomorrow."
Zhou Ziyan was so happy that she didn't accompany her to have dinner, and nodded with a smile.
Xia Mingzhu said again: "Where do you live? I'll give it to you."
"Milan Spring." Zhou Ziyan did not refuse. She had to take a taxi if she didn't let her take a taxi if she didn't let her take a taxi. If someone gave her, she would not have to stop a taxi while standing by the side of the road and sweating profusely.
You won’t have to take a taxi next week, and it will be much more convenient after you have a car.
Xia Mingzhu is much more familiar with him. She didn't even call the navigation while driving, and didn't ask Zhou Ziyan. She looked for a path and found a way and arrived in about ten minutes.
"There is the parking there." After seeing the community, Zhou Ziyan pointed at the location.
Xia Mingzhu parked the car at the place he pointed to, and Zhou Ziyan waved his hand and thanked him after getting off the car.
The man was beautiful and the car was beautiful. He parked on the side of the road and attracted passers-by to stare. Most people just watched, but there were two people who looked like gangsters who looked very pink and were unscrupulous. One of them even pointed to his mouth and whistled.
In this downtown city in broad daylight, Zhou Ziyan naturally did not worry that Xia Mingzhu would be teased and robbed. He also knew that Xia Mingzhu was not an idle woman, so how could ordinary people take advantage of her?
Xia Mingzhu looked at the two men with interest and said with a smile: "Two handsome guys, how to walk on the road of peace?"
Two guys with greasy heads and pink noodles were stunned. Unexpectedly, this beautiful woman who drove a luxury car took the initiative to ask them about the way.
After being stunned, the whistle responded faster, bent down and lowered his head and said to Xia Mingzhu: "It's a bit difficult to walk on the road of peace. I can't explain it clearly to you all at once. Even if it's clear, I'm afraid you won't remember it clearly."
"Then..." Xia Mingzhu asked with a delicate expression: "Can you ask two handsome guys to get in the car and lead me somewhere?"
"Lead the way?" The man couldn't help laughing. This woman was so easy to fool, so she said that, but she really believed it. Seeing her "please" she quickly answered: "Okay, we are going to have dinner on Heping Road, and I'll take you there by the way."
Xia Mingzhu quickly said, "That's great, you guys get in the car."
The two of them laughed so hard that they couldn't close their mouths. They reached out to pull the door and prepared to get into the car, but the door was locked and neither of them could pull it open.
Xia Mingzhu drove the car slowly forward. The two gangsters couldn't pull the door open, and trotted and followed the car. While bent down and said to her, "Beauty, open the car door, this door is locked and cannot be opened."
"Uh... I'm sorry, I forgot." Xia Mingzhu said suddenly, but the car still did not stop, and she drove slowly, and the two gangsters followed each other.
Xia Mingzhu seemed to have stepped on the wrong brake and stepped on the accelerator. The car roared and rushed forward. The speed suddenly became faster and rushed up to about ten meters before stopping.
The two gangsters heard Xia Mingzhu's "sudder" sound and thought she was not good at skill. They stepped on the accelerator as a brake. They quickly panted and ran forward, ran to the side of the car and bent down to see.
Xia Mingzhu's expression had changed, and she became cold and said two words to the gangster who was leaning on the car window: "Diaosi!"
After saying these two words, Xia Mingzhu stepped on the accelerator without hesitation, and the car accelerated to a speed of 300,000 to 400,000. The two gangsters realized that they were teased by Xia Mingzhu. The gangster who was stalking on the front window was very angry and wanted to reach out to the window to open the door from inside, but Xia Mingzhu pressed the button to lift the window and lifted it up, leaving only a gap less than five centimeters. The man couldn't open the door from inside, but his hand was pinched and he quickly tightened it back.
Xia Mingzhu drove the car five or six meters away, and then slowed down, as if she was intending to wait for the two of them to come forward. The two gangsters caused her to stop and stop several times like this. She was so tired that she was breathing heavily, but she couldn't do anything to Xia Mingzhu and she murmured and cursed in anger.
Xia Mingzhu only stepped on the accelerator and drove away. The two gangsters were blinded to tease her. If they didn't mess with her, they wouldn't know how powerful she was!
Zhou Ziyan, who stopped at the entrance of the community, saw Xia Mingzhu disappearing while driving, leaving behind the two exhausted and panting gangsters shouting and scolding. He couldn't help laughing and turned around to the community.
When she got home, Le Xiaotao had not come back yet. Needless to say, after signing the contract, her task became heavy. This was the first time she was carrying such a big task. How could she not be excited and worked hard?
Zhou Ziyan was really right. After Le Xiaotao and Jin Xiuze returned to the company, she buried her head in the work and prepared to make plans.
Lei Zhiming did not come back, and Kim Soo-se ignored whether he was present and held another meeting. First, he announced Le Xiaotao as the project director of Jinhuyuan, and second, he arranged capable personnel to assist her.
The mobilized design technicians almost drained Lei Zhiming, leaving only two skills and a little stupid. They gave Lei Zhiming half-life hand to him.
At this time, Kim Soo-se was not afraid of breaking up with Lei Zhiming, so he gave him a pot to remove firewood and transferred all his hands to Le Xiaotao, and see if he could make trouble as a commander alone?
