Human Greed - Chapter 74

Xu Ruoxing played with Mr. Zhao for half an hour. Mr. Zhao said, “You are young, but your body is much better than ours.”

After he finished speaking, the secretary brought him water and towels, and also prepared one for Xu Ruoxing, Xu Ruoxing smiled: “Thank you.”

After talking, I looked around inside, but I didn’t find Su Yi. I was puzzled, and Mr. Zhao asked: “What do you think about the cooperation below?”

Xu Ruoxing had no choice but to concentrate, and said to Mr. Zhao: “I have some ideas, Mr. Zhao, why don’t we talk next to each other?”

Mr. Zhao is also tired from playing, and wants to sit down and rest. This venue is very large, and the back row is full of seats. It used to be a stadium, and it was used for competitions. Now it can’t be used as a venue for competitions. It can only be used as an arena. Xu Ruoxing and Zhao After the president sat down, President Zhao said, “You know Zhao San, who has been persuading me to cooperate with Huaihai.”

It’s not that he hasn’t cooperated with Huaihai before, but for any small company that Zhao San goes to, or has never cooperated with, he has to give some face, and it is impossible to refuse outright, but Huaihai, he really doesn’t want to cooperate.

Huaihai relies on the company’s big brand, not to mention the defaults everywhere, and is also picky about the quality of materials. Every time he wants to accept a low price, and it is the lowest price, which almost prevents him from making profits. In the first few years when he first started, He was not less angry with Huaihai, and when he became bigger, he also declined several times. Now he and Qu are friendly in face, but they hate each other in private.

It was because Xu Ruoxing knew this that he had the confidence to continue spending time with Mr. Zhao.

She said: “Mr. Zhao, don’t worry, we accepted the love of the Zhao family before, and you took good care of us. The price, I know, you must have given us the best nod. Xu Ruoxing was not very flattering. But what she said was much more comfortable than flattering people.

Xu Ruoxing continued: “Now that we don’t have the relationship with the Zhao family, we have to show some sincerity.”

After she finished speaking, she took out the documents in the briefcase and handed them to Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao pinched the towel, looked at Xu Ruoxing, and smiled: “Mr. Xu, has anyone said that you are good at doing business?”

Xu Ruoxing said, “No.”

She poked fun at herself: “We’re all making art.”

Mr. Zhao laughed at what she said: “What a work of art, then I am honored to be able to add bricks and tiles to Mr. Xu’s work of art?”

Xu Ruoxing smiled, knowing that Mr. Zhao is very satisfied with her new contract. Seeing Mr. Zhao let the secretary take the pen, she looked around again. Mr. Zhao saw it and said, “What? Are you looking for Mrs. Xu?”

Being pointed out by Mr. Zhao, Xu Ruoxing said: “She has never been here before, so she is not familiar with it.”

After speaking, General Secretary Zhao said: “Mrs. Xu just went out.” He said to President Zhao: “She asked me to tell you.”

Xu Ruoxing frowned: “Going out?”

In front of Mr. Zhao, she couldn’t react too much, she just asked, “Where did you go?”

The secretary said, “I didn’t say that.”

Xu Ruoxing nodded, a little absent-minded, Mr. Zhao looked up at her, Xu Ruoxing squeezed the edge of the towel, smiled at Mr. Zhao, and finally couldn’t help it, said: “Mr. Zhao, I’ll make a call.”

Mr. Zhao said: “It’s young people after all.”

In this sentence, I don’t know if it’s unpleasant or not. It’s very inappropriate to make a phone call, but Su Yi isn’t here, so it’s hard for her to feel at ease.

The phone beeped a few times and kept ringing, but no one answered, Xu Ruoxing pressed his head, where did Su Yi go? She hurriedly walked up and down the resting place.

The secretary at the side saw that Mr. Zhao hadn’t signed and closed his pen again, and was puzzled: “Mr. Zhao?”

Mr. Zhao didn’t say a word, just looked at Xu Ruoxing. Xu Ruoxing made three phone calls but no one answered her. Her palms were sweating. Seeing Mr. Zhao looking over, she walked over with an unnatural smile. Mr. Zhao said, “It seems that Mr. Xu A little busy today?”

Xu Ruoxing put his hands behind his back and said, “It’s nothing.”

“Since Mr. Xu is busy, I won’t waste your time.” Mr. Zhao wanted to get up, and the secretary also looked over. Xu Ruoxing held the phone tightly and said, “Mr. Zhao…”

The phone buzzes and vibrates. Su Yi stood downstairs, followed by the property owner. When she arrived, she remembered that the phone was still in the car, and went back to get the phone. The property owner was standing not far away. She said apologetically, “I’m sorry.”

The property owner was a young man in his twenties, with a cropped cut and a security uniform. He saw Su Yi and said, “We received a call more than an hour ago and sent our colleagues over to check.”

Su Yi nodded: “What’s the problem?”

“I don’t know yet, you didn’t come, we just turned off the water valve outside, and we won’t know what’s wrong until we go in.”

Su Yi snorted and looked at the phone. There were three missed calls, all of which were Xu Ruoxing. She immediately called back. Xu Ruoxing asked anxiously, “Where are you?”

The question was urgent, Su Yi was taken aback for a while: “I, I’m outside.”

“What are you doing outside?” Realizing that his voice was a little loud, Xu Ruoxing slowed down: “When are you coming back?”

“I’m at your house.” Su Yi said, “There’s a water leak in your house. The property manager called. I’m going to go up and see what’s going on.”

Property, house leaking?

Xu Ruoxing’s mind buzzed, and she said, “Su Yi, Su Yi, is there anyone around you now?”

Su Yi said: “Yes, there is a property.”

She was nervous by Xu Ruoxing’s attitude, her voice was tense, Xu Ruoxing didn’t dare to scare her, and said softly, “Don’t go up, stay away from that property.”

Su Yi’s heart beat instantly, and she heard Xu Ruoxing say: “Listen to me, you go to the security room now, don’t worry, I’ll be right over.”

Mr. Zhao and his secretary were still looking at her. Xu Ruoxing’s palms were sweaty, and finally he smiled apologetically at Mr. Zhao: “Mr. Zhao…”

“Mr. Xu, if you are busy, go first.” Mr. Zhao looked at her, and said lightly, Xu Ruoxing knew that he was breaking a taboo in the workplace, but she couldn’t care so much about Su Yi’s safety, so she had to bow her head: “Mr. Zhao, I’m sorry, I’ll apologize in person.”

Mr. Zhao just handed her the unsigned contract, and Xu Ruoxing stretched out his hand, stuffed the contract back, and said, “I will do it next time.”

Her eyes were determined and serious, Mr. Zhao smacked his heart, but he really didn’t speak, Xu Ruoxing said sorry again and left the arena with his bag.

Su Yi hung up the phone, the property manager looked at her and asked, “Aren’t you going up?”

She opened her mouth looking at the property owner’s expression, thinking of Xu Ruoxing’s phone call, she said, “I have something in the car, I’ll go back and get it first.”

The property owner said, “Miss, you are so forgetful.”

The joking tone shocked Su Yi into a cold sweat. She thought it must be because of Xu Ruoxing’s phone call just now, so she bit the bullet and said, “I’ve always been very forgetful.”

The property owner nodded: “Then why don’t I go up first, I’ll go in and see what the problem is, the people downstairs must be waiting anxiously.”

After speaking, a person came out of the door, it was a man, she saw the property and Su Yi frowned, stepped forward and asked: “Is it Miss Xu? Your house is leaking, and my house is leaking. Just now, my baby’s mother took me The children have all returned to their natal family, come here, come here, come to my house to have a look!”

The man’s voice sounded like the one on the phone, Su Yi was in trouble for a while, and she said, “Wait a little longer.”

“What are you waiting for!” The man was very dissatisfied: “Can you wait, can my family wait? You have to calculate it for me and pay me back!”

The property owner also said: “Well, I’ll go up first, and I’ll see what’s wrong. Aren’t you going to get things from the car? Come over after you’re done.”

The man urged: “Hurry up, hurry up, there are many things to do!”

Su Yi had no choice but to hand over the key to the property manager. Seeing the two of them go upstairs, Su Yi let out a sigh of relief and called Xu Ruoxing. The call was connected quickly. Xu Ruoxing asked, “Where are you?”

“I’ll be in the security room soon.” Su Yi asked, “What’s the matter?”

Xu Ruoxing’s heart was a little more stable. Although she didn’t know whether the guess was true or not, she was afraid of all the coincidences. She said, “It’s Li Chen’s aunt.”

Su Yi asked: “What happened to her aunt?”

Xu Ruoxing said: “Her aunt is investigating a bombing case recently, and she lives with me.”

Su Yi suddenly understood: “They…” Xu Ruoxing said: “I’m also guessing, maybe I’m overthinking, I’ll be there in a while, don’t run around, just wait for me in the security room.”

Su Yi groaned, nodded, and saw the pavilion of the security room from a distance. There was a person standing inside, also wearing a uniform. She felt a little strange looking at the uniform, but she couldn’t tell why it was so strange. She just walked in, and the security guard immediately opened the door for her. He opened the door and asked, “What’s the matter?”

She said, “My friend is coming, can I wait for her here?”

The security guard nodded: “Yes.”

After speaking, he poured her a cup of tea, Su Yi took it and said, “Thank you.”

The security guard smiled, and continued to stand by the window. Su Yi didn’t drink but held the cup, looked at his uniform and suddenly remembered to ask: “Is the uniform of your property and the security guard the same?”

The security guard hurriedly explained after hearing her words: “It’s different, the property is blue.”

Su Yi’s heart skipped a beat. She clearly wore this security uniform at the property just now, and her heart suddenly hung up. In such a high temperature, she felt cold all over her body. The security guard asked her, “Miss, why do you ask that?”

“No, it’s okay.” Su Yi heard the word Miss, and conditioned reflex to think of the property just now. She shook her hand, and the water in the cup splashed on her body. The security guard took a tissue, and Su Yi said, “No need.”

She took two steps back: “No, thank you.”

After finishing speaking, he looked at the security guard and said, “I’ll go out first.”

The security guard looked at her inexplicably and didn’t say much. He nodded, Su Yi walked out of the security booth, took a deep breath, and put his hands on his forehead, covered with cold sweat. She threw away the cup and saw the car parked not far away. She came to this community The number of times is small, so the car did not drive to the parking area of ​​the building, but parked at the door. Now that she saw her car, she felt a little bit more secure. She took the car key and walked towards the car, approaching the car When I heard someone shouting from behind: “Su Yi.”

It was Xu Ruoxing’s voice. She turned around and saw Xu Ruoxing walking quickly towards this side. Just as she was about to go up to meet her, she heard a loud ‘bang’ behind her!

The fragments brushed past her with flames, cutting a smear of blood red, and the eardrums of the shock buzzed.
