"I see, but the gentleman just now..."

"This is a gallery for people with destiny. The gentleman just now is obviously not a destined person for the gallery, but you, Miss, are different."

What a smooth talker! It's true that like boss, like employees; Zhao Yingying complained in her heart.

five minutes later

"Miss, this is your membership card. Please keep it safe. Floors 1 to 3 of our gallery are open to members. Floors 4 and 5 are the owner's private places. Please do not try to break in."

The female receptionist handed the membership card to Zhao Yingying and reminded her.

"Okay, I'd like to ask, your gallery's criteria for judging who is destined to be with you are not decided by the security guard at the door, right?"

Zhao Yingying couldn't help but ask.

"Haha, of course not. There is actually artificial intelligence at the door. It is the terminal that determines the destined person."

"Then what is it judged on?"

"I'm not sure about that. It's probably because of appearance. Our gallery members are all handsome men and beautiful women. Anyone whose appearance is unworthy of the public has paid 500 million yuan in annual fees."

The female receptionist whispered.

"Your boss is really willful. Can he make money by doing business like this?"

Seeing that the girl at the front desk appeared quiet but was actually a chatterbox, Zhao Yingying continued to ask questions.

"Anyway, we will definitely not lose money. Last year, the total turnover of paintings sold in our gallery was 3 million..."

"Oh, that's pretty impressive. Your boss is quite smart."

Zhao Yingying complimented with a smile.

"Our boss is not only smart, he is also very handsome, very pleasing to the eye."

…………

Ling Chengfeng, who was in the office on the fifth floor, had no idea that a woman with ulterior motives was about to approach him, and the receptionist he hired was gossipy and spread news about him everywhere.

But even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care too much, because he was entertaining an unexpected guest at the moment.

"Coffee or grapefruit tea?"

"Yuzu tea, besides me, do you also like to drink yuzu tea?"

Fang Guoxi asked with a little restraint.

"No, I drank it myself. By the way, why did you think of coming here to find me? Is your husband feeling better?"

Ling Chengfeng was really surprised that his old lover, who had not seen him for almost ten years, suddenly came to him, especially when he saw the medical examination report of her husband yesterday.

"My sister told me. I met her yesterday. Xing Tian is out of danger..."

Fang Guoxi took the teacup handed to him by Ling Chengfeng and spoke in a low voice.

"Well, you should meet your sister more often. She is a typical example of a woman with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She has been paying attention to your affairs over the past two years."

awkward

The two people who met again after a long separation didn't know what to say to each other.

"Well, the doctor at the nursing home actually reported to me about your husband's physical condition. He seemed to have suffered a serious injury more than ten years ago. Did you know about this?"

Forget it, I'll take the initiative, Ling Chengfeng asked with gritted teeth.

"Yes, I know; we were on a mission together at that time, and he was injured trying to save me."

"What about your daughter Xing Feng?"

"We adopted him from an orphanage."

After hesitating for a long time, Fang Guoxi finally said it.

"Since you know his situation, why did you marry him back then? Was it because he saved you? You can tell me so I can help you compensate him?"

Ling Chengfeng seldom loses his temper with his woman, but somehow, he was still irritated by the woman in front of him.

“Why weren’t you angry at all when I said I wanted to leave you and marry another man?

What did you do when my sister scolded me and even wanted to hit me?

In your heart, is Fang Guoxi so dispensable? "

Facing Fang Guoxi's questioning, Ling Chengfeng realized that a man's magnanimity can sometimes indeed become a kind of harm to a woman.

"At that time, we...your sister...I thought you were not willing to follow me..."

Only now did Ling Chengfeng realize how wrong he had been back then.

"Humph"

This arrogant expression, this hypocritical face, Ling Chengfeng was reminded of that sunny afternoon many years ago; the woman in front of him seemed to be seducing him in the same way.

"You...what do you want to do?"

"Explore. First climb the hills, then explore the ocean... You won't forget it, right? I'll help you recall it."

Ling Chengfeng naturally gave her a princess hug.

"A scoundrel of gentlemanly virtue..."

Fang Guoxi's red cheeks and her arms tightly wrapped around Ling Chengfeng's neck clearly show what passionate love is.

...............

5pm

"Xiao Hui, didn't you say that your CEO Ling was at work today? He hasn't come down yet. Does a big boss like him also need to work overtime?"

From the afternoon till now, Zhao Yingying has become completely close friends with the girl at the front desk.

"Hey, today is really strange. Usually, Mr. Ling either doesn't come or leaves at 5:. Today, it's already past o'clock, why hasn't he come down yet?"

Fu Xiaohui at the front desk also felt it was quite strange.

"Maybe he's gone, but we just didn't notice it?"

"It's possible. Oh, by the way, there is a special elevator for Mr. Ling on the fifth floor, which goes directly to the parking lot. He might have gone there. Ah, hello, Mr. Ling..."

While the two were talking, Ling Chengfeng walked down the stairs in the hall.

Chapter 345 This sugar-coated bullet is too obvious

"Well, Xiaohui, if you don't leave by five o'clock, are you planning to cheat me out of overtime pay?"

Fang Guoxi also had to pick up his daughter from school, so the expedition only lasted until 4:30.

How do you explain the other half hour?

Exploration is a strenuous exercise that will make you sweat. If you sweat, don’t you have to take a shower?

"I was just about to leave. Why did Mr. Ling leave work so late today?"

"I dealt with an emergency. Hey, you are the one from a few days ago... Zhao Yingying."

Because the battle ended a little hastily, Ling Chengfeng has been in an excited state. He originally planned to find a psychologist to relieve his emotions, or go across the sea to find a female gambling queen to gamble with. But after seeing Zhao Yingying, he found that he had a better choice.

"Boss Ling is such a busy man. He originally said he would call me, but there has been no news since then."

Zhao Yingying looked like she was a little upset after being stood up.

"It's my fault, it's my fault. I know a pretty good restaurant. I'd like to treat you to a meal to make amends."

Humph, you’ve eaten the meal I treated you to, now wait and see how I eat you.

…………

Long Jingxuan

In Ling Chengfeng's dream world, he once owned this restaurant; and dreams and reality are interconnected, and when conditions permit, he once again made a move to take over this famous Michelin restaurant in Hong Kong.

"Order whatever you want. Just consider it my apology for breaking the promise."

"You didn't actually break the promise. I was just being sentimental. Strictly speaking, I should be the one to apologize to you."

"Oh?"

"Your handsome suit and shirt are not really thrown away, are they?"

"Oh, you mean that. Actually, even if you change into new clothes every day, it won't cost much."

Why did Ling Chengfeng say that? Because he had really thrown away that set of clothes; oh, that’s not right, it should be donated to people in need.

"As expected of the future head of Yixing Group, he lives a luxurious life."

Zhao Yingying joked with a smile.

"Future leader of Yixing? When did I get such a title?"

"You hadn't come that day, but Mr. Kuang mentioned it when he was talking to your sister."

"You mean Uncle Jinlong? He started trying to trick me into going to Yixing two years ago. But I'm not stupid. I'd rather give up my comfortable life and go help him."

Ling Chengfeng characterizes himself as a happy-go-lucky guy and a playboy; well, he is like that, so he doesn't need to act at all.

"Yixing Group's market value is over 6000 billion, are you not tempted at all?"

"It would be a lie to say I'm not tempted, but as long as I have enough money, it's fine. I don't lack it now. Instead of continuing to chase after it, I might as well calm down and enjoy life."

"I didn't realize you had such awareness."

If the same face as her dead boyfriend gave Zhao Yingying a good first impression of Ling Chengfeng, then the conversation just now was another plus.

"Ms. Zhao seems to be more interested in Yixing than in me. Excuse me, what do you do for a living?"

Zhao Yingying's identity can be said to be exposed in front of Ling Chengfeng's eyes.

It seems that revealing her identity directly would not be enough fun, so let's just play with her.

"You're so smart, can't you guess it yourself?"

Zhao Yingying smiled slightly, and it was this smile that made Ling Chengfeng smell the strong scent of tea.

"We met at the Milk Tea King Competition at the Peninsula Hotel. You seemed very interested in what was going on at Yixing. Could it be that you are a reporter?"

Guessing right is not a great skill; what matters is guessing wrong by the slightest amount.

"You guessed wrong. I am actually a policeman. I went to the Peninsula Hotel that day to investigate a case, but I resigned two days ago."

It is better to confess the identity that is destined to be exposed. Zhao Yingying is an undercover agent with some skills.

"Police? Are all the Madams in the police station so good-looking now, or are you just a special case? By the way, what are you going to do after you resign? Are you going to participate in the Miss Hong Kong pageant?"

"Glib?"

There is no woman who doesn't like to be called beautiful, and Zhao Yingying is obviously no exception.

"We were so busy talking that we didn't even order anything. The waiter was getting impatient..."

"You order, this is your home, I'm not a picky eater."

Although she didn't have to pay for it herself, just looking at the prices on the menu made Zhao Yingying feel painful, so she kicked the ball back to Ling Chengfeng.

"Then let me do it. Do you eat seafood?"

"good."

Zhao Yingying's answer was not surprising, it seems that she is really not picky about food.

"Grouper with black bean sauce, abalone in honey sauce, ginseng and sea bream, and dragon belt jade pear. Let's start with these four dishes. For wine, just take the bottle of white wine I have stored here."

"Okay, Mr. Ling."

The waiter is very observant and never delays leaving when it is time to leave.

"It seems that you are really a regular customer of this restaurant."

"I'm fine. By the way, you came to the gallery today just to see me?"

After ordering the food, the two resumed their previous conversation.

"If I say no, will you be disappointed?"

"No, this shows that the two of us are destined."

"What if I say yes?"
