Chapter 38 Dawn - Undercurrent
Chapter 38 Dawn-Undercurrent
When Aunt Niu sent the message, Jiang Limei was in a meeting with suppliers.
It was a simple lunch at the restaurant bar downstairs of the company. The main thing was to confirm the details. The meal was just a way to eat because the supplier was also introduced by a friend, so I didn’t want to make it too formal. There is no one-time business, only eternal partners. This is
Wu Yusi’s business creed.
Jiang Limei's mobile phone was at hand. As the WeChat messages popped up one by one, the purple-pink Disney Castle wallpaper kept flashing. The supplier smiled at her:
"Is there something urgent? You deal with it first."
"I'm sorry." Jiang Limei picked up her phone and unlocked it. A string of Aunt Niu's voices rushed in, each one lasting more than fifty seconds.
Jiang Limei stood up and smiled: "You guys chat, I'm going to the bathroom."
In fact, it was nothing serious. Jiang Limei felt that Aunt Niu was frustrated because she usually had no one to talk to. She happened to be a big fan.
Aunt Niu told her in the voice message that Linlin was dating Ren Yu. The two had an appointment at a Thai restaurant in the mall, and they might go shopping together later.
Linlin is Aunt Niu's daughter.
The water in the sink was flowing loudly. Jiang Limei turned off the faucet, pulled a piece of paper to wipe her hands, and then replied: [Is it progressing so fast?]
Ren Yu had a rare weekend off today. This was Jiang Limei's first thought.
The second thought is, dog man.
Jiang Limei's mind came up with these three words out of nowhere, and she was startled.
Ren Yu is free to date who he wants, does he have anything to do with her?
Aunt Niu replied quickly, but this time it was a text message;
[It was I who tricked Dr. Ren out of here.]
Jiang Limei wondered, could this be deceived? How could it be deceived?
Immediately afterwards, Aunt Niu sent a photo. Jiang Limei clicked on the big picture and saw Ren Yu in the center of the photo at a glance.
Although it's just a back view.
The restaurant environment is nice and exotic, with red plaid tablecloths and clear light coming from the crystal lamps on the ceiling. Before the food is served, there is a pot of lemongrass water on the table.
Ren Yu wore a black shirt, and his back was as straight and straight as ever. The beautiful woman sitting opposite him looked carefully dressed, with exquisite makeup and a gentle smile.
The two seemed to be chatting happily, but the angle of the photo was a bit strange.
Jiang Limei zoomed in carefully and understood:
[Aunt Niu, are you filming secretly? Why did you go with your daughter on her date?]
Aunt Niu replied with a laughing expression:
[I'm not worried, so I came to see them. Seeing that they were chatting with each other made me feel relieved, and I'll leave right away.]
Jiang Limei gave a thumbs up, turned off her phone, and twitched her lips in front of the bathroom mirror, but couldn't smile for some reason.
She attributed this to a greasy lunch.
How can fast food and smoked salmon sandwiches be greasy? Jiang Limei's mind wandered away and she even thought of the restaurant in the photo just now. Thai food must be very refreshing.
She also knew that store. It was a newly opened Internet celebrity store upstairs in a nearby shopping mall. Lemongrass grilled chicken and egg yolk quicksand shrimp were the signatures.
Ren Yu is pretty good at picking places.
Back at the dinner table, the supplier saw at a glance that Jiang Limei had touched up her makeup, and her mottled lipstick was now shining again. The man's gaze on the woman, even Party A and Party B, couldn't hide his admiration. He politely praised Jiang Limei and Wu
Yu Si, young and promising, will not give in to women.
Jiang Limei ordered a glass of American style and sipped it in small sips, just for digestion, and smiled back at the supplier:
"It would be great if your compliments could cover the project budget."
The curatorial company signed an all-inclusive contract with Jiang Limei, which required Jiang Limei to have full control over product design and production, and finally deliver the finished product. This meant that Jiang Limei and Wu Yusi had to find reliable suppliers in person.
The price quoted by this company is actually not low, but thanks to a friend's recommendation, a lot of trouble can be saved. Jiang Limei is busy with museum projects recently and has no time to spare. She doesn't want to get entangled with three melons and two dates.
The supplier laughed and said, "This is the first time we cooperate, and I can apply for a discount next time we cooperate. Mr. Jiang will not make a one-time deal with us."
Jiang Limei raised her eyebrows: "It's hard to say, I value money the most."
"Really? It's not like that. I'm very good at judging people. Mr. Jiang's family background is very good. I wonder where your father-in-law can get a good job?"
Jiang Limei couldn't bear to hear such honorifics. We were all eating at the same table, so why didn't we talk to each other? She shook her head: "I am not only obsessed with money, but also rebellious. I have severed ties with my parents since I was a child. They don't recognize me."
In fact, everyone could tell that it was a joke, but Jiang Limei said it in an extremely serious manner, which made the supplier feel embarrassed for a while and did not dare to answer the question.
Wu Yusi pinched Jiang Limei's thigh under the table and glared at her again.
Jiang Limei understood clearly in that look, telling her to take a break and stop talking so much.
.
After the meal was over and the suppliers were sent away, Jiang Limei's stomach was still greasy. She made a fan with her palms to fan herself and walked to the company.
Wu Yusi checked the navigation on her mobile phone and said to Jiang Limei: "I won't go back to the company in the afternoon. I will go to the mall. The shoes I bought have arrived, and the counter sister asked me to pick them up."
Jiang Limei stopped: "Which one is closest?"
"Yes, haven't I been shopping there?"
The afternoon sun was shining brightly, and when it fell on her skin, it was a bit steamy and burning. Just standing at the door for a while, a piece of skin on Jiang Limei's chest was baked and turned slightly red.
She lowered her head and stared at her toes, rubbing the tips of her shoes against the curb:
"I'll go with you."
Wu Yusi asked: "Are you going too? What are you doing? Shopping?"
"It's too hot and I'm tired of eating. I'm going to buy a cup of milk tea to digest it."
Wu Yusi didn't understand Jiang Limei's brain circuit. There were so many milk tea shops downstairs in the company. What made her even more confused was that Jiang Limei, who had never liked buying things in offline stores, had a seizure today.
Not a small desire to shop.
First, I accompanied her to get some shoes from the counter on the first floor of the shopping mall, and then went to Star Daddy to buy a cup of iced lemon tea.
There were a lot of people in the mall on weekends. They passed by the perfume counter and smelled the faint scent of lily of the valley and amber in the air. Wu Yusi noticed that Jiang Limei seemed to be very excited, so she pulled her up the escalator and listened to her talk about recent times.
Wherever there is a discount, points must be redeemed quickly. It would be a pity if they expire.
The background music of the mall happened to be playing a Cantonese song. Wu Yusi listened to a few words and asked casually: "What song is this?"
"Undercurrent."
Jiang Limei seemed to just answer casually, not looking at her, but staring at the other side.
Go up and down the escalator and walk towards each other.
At this time, there were more people going upstairs. Wu Yusi saw a man and a woman on the opposite side walking down the stairs, with the girl in front. She turned around and looked up at the man and said something.
The man seemed a little absent-minded, but his eyes passed over her and Jiang Limei who were walking up, and his expression was obviously startled. Then, as if he had swallowed a magnet, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Limei, and he did not relax for a moment.
The moment the escalators crossed each other, Wu Yusi thought she had heard wrongly, and Jiang Limei seemed to have a cold snort coming out of her throat.
Looking at her expression, she was impeccable. Jiang Limei held her head high and remained calm throughout the whole process. She held the escalator with one hand, while the lemon tea in the other hand swayed, and the ice cubes rubbed against each other, making a clattering sound.
"Do you know me?"
Wu Yusi saw that the man was tall and handsome. Even as the elevator went down, he was still looking back.
"I don't know."
"Oh, I thought it was one of your bad peach blossoms again." Wu Yusi came back to his senses and asked Jiang Limei: "What was the name of that song you just said?"
"Undercurrent."
Faye Wong's voice is ethereal and psychedelic.
I am afraid that tragedy will happen again. My destiny is that the more beautiful things are, the more I cannot touch them.
In fact, what's the use of me cherishing you again? Isn't it possible that my hugging you tightly this time will be in vain?
"Let's go, we're back."
Wu Yusi stared: "Aren't you going shopping?"
"No more shopping, my digestion is ready."
Jiang Limei sat on the bench in the rest area upstairs and drank up the lemon tea bit by bit.
The last mouthful was crushed ice and lemon slices. She chewed it expressionlessly and threw the empty cup into the trash can with a thud.
