The streetlights came on.

Wen Man leaned weakly against the back of her chair. Thinking about how they had ignored their children because of what they were doing, she felt a flush of heat rise in her cheeks.

Ho Shaoting occasionally glances at her.

Wen Man's flushed face is so beautiful.

The phone in the cupboard rang softly, and he picked it up.

It was Liu, Lu Qian's secretary, who called.

Ms. Liu greeted and quickly got to the point: "Shaoting, Miss Ding, I don't know where she got the news, but she found out about Mr. Lu and is trying to find a way to meet him!"

Ho Shao-ting held his phone, asking, "What did your uncle say"

Ms. Liu smiled and said, “Mr. Lu means to wait and see. These coal bosses in the southwest have some things on their hands. We can only get evidence by going deep inside and uprooting them all… Otherwise, it's just a slap on the wrist and they won't be affected.”

Though he spoke with a smile, Huo Shaoting could still sense the venom behind those words between master and servant.

Lu Qian does things without leaving any trace.

He nodded. "Then, I'll trouble Uncle! ...Shuo Shuo, alright, tomorrow I'll have Wen Man bring it over."

Ho Shaoting hung up the phone.

He didn't mention Ding Cheng, because he was really not a person worth mentioning.

He only said, "Uncle misses Shuo Shuo very much. Take him to the hotel tomorrow."

Wen Man softly hummed in agreement.

Huo Shaoting looked at her a few more times, then cleared his throat and said, "Are you still angry"

Wen Man uncomfortably turned her face away.

Ho Shao-ting didn't force her to speak, he just gently held her hand and then asked her very softly: "Wen Man, today you seem especially different, is it because you had some alcohol or because you were at the apartment"

If it's an apartment, then they'll go there afterward.

Wen Man was a little embarrassed.

Ho Shao-ting chuckled lightly. ...

He thought, it should have been easy for his past self to fall in love with Wen Man.

She's quite prone to throwing tantrums.

……

Dingcheng had gone through several rounds of introductions before finally getting in touch with Mr. Lu from City C.

I had to knock many times before I could speak with Mr. Lu's secretary. Ding Cheng said anxiously, "Secretary Liu, would you please ask Mr. Lu if he has time to see me"

Ms. Liu smiled.

He's very good at modulating his tone, "Mr. Lu is on private business today and unavailable."

Ding Cheng really went all out.

She's actually pretty good-looking. In her early 30s, she's young and has potential. She leaned against Liu's secretary, hinting that if they were successful, she was willing to spend some time with him.

Secretary Liu had seen such a scene many times.

He gently took Dingcheng's arm and said in a very affectionate tone, "Little Ding, this principled mistake, I absolutely can't make."

He thought for a moment, then said: "Actually, we're sort of hometown people, aren't we Old Zhou's business is my business too. So, I'll take you in later. Just ask Mr. Lu for whatever you need."

Dingcheng is very grateful.

She followed Secretary Liu to the door of a suite.
