When You’re Gone

Chapter 108: Puzzle

Cheng Geling didn't expect Lu Jinsheng to come over.

This apartment was bought by Lu Jinsheng. Cheng Geling didn't know how much it cost, but her assistants and agents who knew about it all thought Lu Jinsheng was generous.

Lu Jinsheng didn't come here much.

So when Cheng Geling opened the door and saw Lu Jinsheng, she was extremely shocked.

In addition to shock, his face was full of joy.

"Jin...Jin Sheng."

Lu Jinsheng's eyes were dark, he took a deep look at her, and walked in with his foot raised.

Cheng Geling was a little cautious, because she always remembered from time to time that the night she had just been injured, she couldn't stand the pain of a sharp needle passing through the skin and flesh.

The pain at that time was really painful.

But she became obsessed with Lu Jinsheng and couldn't get rid of it no matter how painful she was.

Although the stitches hurt, the wound on the leg healed quickly. It is estimated that the stitches can be removed soon. Now, walking short distances is basically not a problem, but I can’t stand for a long time.

She and Lu Jinsheng walked all the way to the living room. Cheng Geling looked up at the man's upright back. Even though the distance between the two was so close, Cheng Geling could feel the deep sense of alienation in him.

Seeing Lu Jinsheng staring at the fruit plate on the coffee table, Cheng Geling asked, "Jinsheng, would you like to eat watermelon?"

Lu Jinsheng glanced down at the melon, there was snow outside, and she was very comfortable in this room.

He didn't answer Cheng Geling, but leaned over and picked up a piece of watermelon and took a bite in his mouth. The texture was sandy.

After taking a faint bite, Lu Jinsheng threw the watermelon in his hand onto the plate. The red flesh of the melon touched the metal fork and made a sound.

This voice really frightened Cheng Geling, but her shoulders shook and her neck shook, "No... isn't it delicious?"

Lu Jinsheng turned around.

Looking down at Cheng Geling's face quietly.

This is the time again.

Cheng Geling knew that he had better not talk at this time and don't disturb him.

So she just stood quietly and let him watch.

Five minutes passed and ten minutes passed.

She couldn't stand on her feet for a long time, and the clear and obvious soreness came straight from the wound on her leg to her brain. Cheng Geling pressed her lips tightly and looked up at him.

For a long time, Lu Jinsheng sat down on the single sofa here, and motioned Cheng Geling to sit down.

He looked at the wound on her leg, where the white gauze was still wrapped, and Lu Jinsheng asked, "Lingling, does the wound still hurt?"

Cheng Geling shook her head first, then looked at him and nodded. Thinking of the call just now, she said, "My leg injury is inconvenient, so I shouldn’t be able to shoot the recent scenes. The director just called to express my condolences. Let me go back to the set..."

Of course, Lu Jinsheng said, "It's just a period of delinquency, and the Lu family can afford it."

Cheng Geling stretched out her hand to press around her wound, but her heart slowly filled with warmth. She looked at his coat, "It's hot in the room, do you want to take off your coat?"

Lu Jinsheng didn't look at her.

No one knew what he was thinking.

...

Cheng Geling sat on the sofa with Lu Jinsheng from less than ten o'clock in the evening until around eleven o'clock.

In this short period of one hour, both of them were in peace.

Cheng Geling talked to him one after another. He either smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, or occasionally responded with a few words.

Except, he couldn't leave his hand the whole time.

When I came there was a strong smell of smoke on my body, and I smoked on the sofa for another hour. The whole space was filled with the smell of smoke.

But Cheng Geling really likes the way he smokes.

His facial features were profound and three-dimensional, his eyes were extremely black, and blue-white smoke rose from around his thin lips, fascinated by his face, followed by Cheng Geling's eyes.

Such a man, he fights hard in the business world, most of the time he makes his opponents frightened, but he also captured the hearts of many women invisibly.

For Yu Cheng Geling, she was lucky.

In the eyes of outsiders, Lu Jinsheng spoils her extremely, and occasionally takes her to various business dinners. When entering the venue, she very intimately pulls Lu Jinsheng's arms, and welcomes the envy of many people in the eyes of all eyes.

At the banquet, Lu Jinsheng exchanged cups with people wherever Cheng Geling's eyes could be. He gestured like a leader.

In the self-service food area, Cheng Geling is holding a plate to choose the food she likes, but when she chooses her eyes, she is not consciously attracted by Lu Jinsheng, so this look is terrible. She has forgotten that she just came to look for food when she was hungry. Up.

A fellow Gui's wife was also holding the plate and holding the tongs to clamp the food. Seeing Cheng Geling looked obsessed, the Gui wife pursed her lips and smiled, and then gently touched Cheng Geling's with her arm. Arm, "Mrs. Lu."

Cheng Geling was interrupted, and she turned her head.

At this time, she could clearly hear the words "Mrs. Lu" shouted by the noble lady.

Cheng Geling shook his head and said, "I..."

Mrs. Gui looked at Cheng Geling happily, glanced over there, and then said, "Miss Cheng, don't be too modest. A peerless man like President Lu will never miss it. He has a good appearance and a good body. The key is to pet people."

After a pause, Mrs. Gui put food on her plate, "As we all know in the circle, it's only a matter of time before you become Mrs. Lu."

It was this night that gave Cheng Geling an illusion.

For three years, Lu Jinsheng has never been stingy with him.

And besides her, no other woman had ever appeared beside him.

So Cheng Geling felt that she was special.

People like Lu Jinsheng don't easily say love, but Cheng Geling thinks he should love her.

So she dared to propose to him, but she ended up like that.

So Cheng Geling was scared.

She only occasionally played a petty temper with him when she was headstrong, or brought up the failure of a marriage proposal when she was emotionally out of order.

Later she thought, as long as there is no one else around him, she doesn't have to force so much.

Lu Jinsheng has too much darkness embedded in his bones, and he often looks like a calm and restrained madman.

As long as Cheng Geling needs to maintain his current state, he doesn't have to demand so much.

But this night, Lu Jinsheng said to her, "Lingling, how about I announce the marriage news tomorrow?"

At that time, Lu Jinsheng was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The night outside the window made his figure long. He was still holding a cigarette between his fingertips, and a cigarette was almost burning to the end.

When Cheng Geling heard this, she was sitting on the sofa drowsy.

...

On January 18th, Yucheng.

At ten o'clock in the morning, news about the engagement of Lu Jinsheng, the head of the Lu Group, reached the ears of the general public through major media.

This was a shock to the Yucheng business community.

Cheng Geling got bored when she received the blessing call this day.

The first to see the news was her agent.

"Ge'er, I just exploded when I saw this news! It was shocked, do you know?"

"Mr. Lu...what..., hey, why didn't you tell me in advance, which made me panic the past few days. The crew didn't dare to put pressure on you, so they kept calling me , I vomited those people to death."

"But it's all right now. You are about to be engaged to Mr. Lu soon. That's great, great."

After stopping, the agent was too excited, "This news is too hot, and it has reached the top of the real-time hot search list in just 20 minutes. I have to add up with the public relations team, and it can't affect your future play."

At this point, the agent finally gave Cheng Geling the opportunity to speak.

"Don't get excited." Cheng Geling said softly.

"How can I not get excited? When the news came out, a lot of people in the company came and asked me that other agents were almost envious," the agent continued, "Although the news of marriage broke out to celebrities There will be some influence on the occasion, but you are different. The one who announced the news was Mr. Lu from the Lu's Xinyao Group."

"Are you still afraid that you don't have a good development opportunity from now on? I don't know how many people in the circle taunted us overtly and secretly. Your relationship with Mr. Lu has been slow and uncertain. Those jealous people will inevitably break their mouths. Tsk..."

Then, the agent changed the conversation, "However, did you see the specific engagement date written in the official letter of Lu's?"

Cheng Geling didn't bother to listen to the agent's eloquence, and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Then this day, she answered a lot of phone calls.

On the same day, dignitaries from all walks of life received the invitation letter from the Lu family first. There was no engagement partner, only the date, which was:

January 27th.

It is also the 30th of the Lunar New Year.

So as soon as the news came out, netizens joked, saying: Outsiders eat New Year’s Eve dinner to watch the Spring Festival Gala and scan hot searches, while insiders participate in engagement ceremonies to greet the New Year.

...

At ten o'clock in the evening on January 16.

Shi Qing and Gu Hansheng just finished a social gathering that night.

At the Caiqian conference table, his own boss talked like words, and he was able to argue without hindrance. He managed to put a guilao talking and almost couldn’t lift his head in front of everyone. However, in terms of the contract, Gu Hansheng’s profit was pressured again and again by Gu Hansheng. It’s a five percent point.

Both parties signed and sealed the contract, and after the decision was made, the transaction amount was hundreds of millions.

Needless to say, how big a five percent profit is.

During the coffee break, the financial tycoons in the financial sector of Shengton City stepped forward to toast. Gu Hansheng took the wine, but he did not take a sip. He turned around and handed it to Shi Qing.

As for what these people said, Gu Hansheng didn't know, only Shi Qing knew.

Others may think that as a businessman, Gu Hansheng is too arrogant.

But he has arrogant capital.

Shi Qing drank the wine on behalf of the boss, with a smile on his face, and explained to everyone: Mr. Gu is not strong enough to drink today...

At ten o'clock in the night, the hustle and bustle ended.

Gu Hansheng did not take the car, but drove slowly along the street.

Shi Qing followed him with a bodyguard.

She was about two meters behind Gu Hansheng, because she had drunk some wine at the meeting, and she was a little bit drunk just now. At this moment, she felt a lot more sober after being blown by the cold wind.

They walked all the way along the Meridian axis, which is the administrative office in the north and the Shengton City Monument in the south.

It can be seen that Gu Hansheng likes this city, otherwise he would not abandon the car and walk.

Shi Qing looked up at the city, and suddenly understood a little bit in his heart.

The city of Washington is different from Yucheng. The streets are like checkerboards, and the divisions are orderly. There are neither tall buildings towering into the sky, nor neon lights showing off. Most of the street buildings are flat and radiate in a grid pattern. It's quite like several famous ancient capitals in China.

The boss wanders in the feasting Vanity Fair from time to time, but he has an Enron City in his heart.

Shi Qing knows that facing competitors tonight, the boss is eloquently, every word, he is different from the usual smile of hiding a knife and boiling frogs in warm water. Tonight, he is squeezing the time at the negotiating table with extremely fast time.

This is a sign of his bad mood, and he is not even willing to leave the other party with the surface calm, and the knife is almost cruel.

The boss' mood is only related to Mrs. Gu in China.

Shi Qing couldn't help thinking in his heart that a person who is in a difficult situation, even if this person is Gu Hansheng, can't avoid it.

She thought, this little Mrs. Gu is quite capable and can bring out the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy of Mr. Gu.

It's a quarter past ten.

Shi Qing followed Gu Hansheng slowly along the streets of Washington, which was full of majesty and historical vicissitudes. The man was not walking fast, and he wanted to appreciate the cultural landscape of the city.

Shi Qing took out his mobile phone, ready to watch the news.

Two minutes...

It was the sudden sound of a metal object falling to the ground.

Shi Qing's phone dropped, and the sound caused the slow man in front of him to turn his head. The faint shadow between his eyebrows and eyebrows had not disappeared, so he stared at Shi Qing quietly, half sideways.

Bensan's older single woman has a successful career and is the leader of Zhizhen Group.

But when even a strong woman has a nymphomaniac, it's just that Shi Qing is more sensible than other people who have no brain chasing stars. In other words, she appreciates Lu Jinsheng more.

Just now, Shi Qing saw a push message popped up from his mobile phone, all English newsletters.

The above content is not difficult to understand, and translated into Chinese is only a short sentence: Lu Jinsheng, the head of the Lu Group, announced a good day for engagement.

With the moment the phone fell to the ground, Shi Qing felt that her heart...broken.

The cold beauties in the financial world are still stunned by wild boars who don't know.

Shi Qing felt sorry.

But at this moment, God did not give her time to regret, because the boss was staring at her in the front.

Gu Hansheng lowered his eyes to look up to the ground. On the brick and stone floor, the screen of his mobile phone was a series of English plus an ambiguous picture. Of course, Gu Hansheng couldn't see the content of the text or who was in the picture.

So he squinted his eyes and asked, "The Secretary drank too much tonight?"

After all, they are nothing compared to the wine they drank a few days ago.

And they ended early today, it is impossible for Shi Qing to get drunk.

Asking her this way, Gu Hansheng's style of asking rightly.

Shi Qing leaned over and picked up the phone on the ground. Looking at Gu Hansheng, he shook his head again, "It's okay," after a pause, Shi Qing added, "Not too much."

Gu Hansheng turned around and dropped a few understatements, "The phone is not stable, it's weird."

"..."

When he turned around, Shi Qing's face became a little frustrated.

She continued to take out her phone and started to scan the hot spot.

At this moment, Shi Qing especially wanted to know who the man who was engaged to Lu Jinsheng was, but after looking around, there was no answer.

In fact, the answer is yes.

At least on the Internet, all media releases are female stars under Lu's Media Company, whose name is Cheng Geling.

But when she was sensible, she followed Gu Hansheng and Ji Shen all the way to the business world. She only believed in the truth in many things.

Of course, Shiqin may also be jealous.

She was jealous of the female star who could become Lu Jinsheng's wife in the future, so she didn't want to believe it in her own heart.

The last time Shi Qing saw Lu Jinsheng was at Taijing Villa.

unfortunately--

It's a pity that Gao Lingzhihua, who doesn't lose to her boss, doesn't even bother to shake her hand.

At the Taijing Villa cooperation dinner, the dark tide between Gu Hansheng and Lu Jinsheng was surging, Shi Qing made a mistake on this day, because Gu and Lu did not usually cooperate with each other. Regarding the Lu family’s affairs, Shi Qing Little is known.

So that night, because of Shi Qing's work mistakes, she let her boss be at a disadvantage.

Right now, she and Gu Hansheng are far away in Shengdun City, and Gu Hansheng naturally did not know that domestic public opinion had exploded.

Shi Qing felt that it was necessary to talk to Gu Hansheng about this hot news event in Yucheng that was enough to upset the sky.

She calmed down and kept up with the boss in two steps. First, she yelled "Mr. Gu" in a warm voice. Gu Hansheng paused slightly, which was an instruction for Shi Qing to continue talking.

"Lu Jinsheng, the head of the Lu Group, announced the engagement date today."

"What day?" Gu Hansheng asked.

"The 30th year of the old calendar."

"It's going to be tossing." Gu Hansheng dropped a few words lightly.

Shi Qing pondered for a moment, and asked him, "If you want to tell me if you want Gu," he paused, and Shi Qing continued, "Gu and Lu do not have much business dealings. The two are in a state where the well water does not interfere with the river water. , But there are always some people in Yucheng who are willing to spread rumors that the two giants Gu and Lu are at odds. We can take this opportunity to dispel the rumors."

This is true.

But Gu Hansheng was silent.

Sometimes I don’t know something.

For example, Gu Hansheng has no affection for the Lu family.

Especially Lu Zi'an, the son of Lu's family.

But Shi Qing's words are right. The business community says that it is not big or small. It is a world where you can't see and see up, and some things have to be maintained.

So Gu Hansheng said, "Leave this to Ji Shen to take care of."

Continue to stroll along the streets of Washington.

Shi Qing didn't understand what Gu Hansheng meant, so he could only follow along.

...

The night on Bessen Road was extremely cold.

Liang Shu hardly sells sleep at night.

It was ten o'clock when she woke up in the morning, and she vaguely heard Aunt Mei cursing outside in the room. When she got up and cleaned up, Aunt Mei didn't know how many conversations had changed.

At the door, Aunt Mei was chatting with the person next door.

"Tsk tusk, have you heard that the children in our house downstairs and the building next door were all educated last night. The teenagers were over ten years old and cried in the snow. I heard they went down to watch. The family’s child downstairs had a tooth knocked out, and the blood was slapped out, oh, that little face is swollen..."

Aunt Mei lowered her head and rubbed her emerald green bracelet, and snorted coldly, "Mostly she is self-inflicted."

"Everyone is guessing, usually too many wicked things are done, this is the retribution, there is no monitoring in this area, I don't think they can find anyone anywhere!"

Liang Shu heard about it last night.

She couldn't get up and blew the cold wind for a while, and not long after lying down, she heard the crying downstairs.

But these things have nothing to do with her.

Living on Bessen Road, you have to be cold-hearted, otherwise you won't live long.

...

I learned that Lu Jinsheng was going to be engaged in the afternoon of the 18th.

In a cafe, the private investigator placed several envelopes in front of her.

Liang Shu was about to stretch out his hand in front of him. The man in the hat stretched his hands and pressed his fingers on it. He stared at Liang Shu, "Miss, although I don't know what you are going to do, you can just relax a little bit. Now, the person in charge of the Lu Group has just announced the news of the engagement. He must be watching closely in all aspects. You may not have a chance to get these things."

Liang Shu frowned, "Lu Jinsheng is getting engaged?"

The man stretched out his finger and hissed twice, "Be low-key."

She reached out and put the three or four thick envelopes in front of her, her eyebrows drooping, "The person I want to move has nothing to do with Lu Jinsheng."

"You think I'm stupid, it's all from the Lu family, how can it be okay to blend in and live together?!"

Seeing Liang Shu opened the A5 size envelope, took out all the photos inside, looking carefully one by one, for a long while, she sneered and commented, "Your photography skills are not as good as mine."

She took pictures of herself and his boudoir when she calculated Gu Hansheng, which was much more beautiful than this.

The man clenched his fist, "I spent a few months doing your order, not because of the good photographing skills, but on my business ability, okay?"

Finally, he added, "Do you think these extremely private photos are easy to take?"

Liang Shu held a photo with his fingers, lowered his eyes, and gently slid his fingertips across the face on the screen. The emotion between her eyebrows and the private investigator's heart suddenly felt a chill.

The opposite man took out the WeChat payment QR code from his bag again and again, while looking at Liang Shu, he said, "I have delivered the goods. You should pay the rest as soon as possible."

And Liang Shu still stared at the person in the photo very intently. The man tweeted, "This man is a cowboy in a certain nightclub in Yucheng," he stretched out his hand and said, "No, but she has been nurturing him for a long time. Now the Cowboy is very careful, but it is not difficult to photograph this with my ability."

In this photo, it is a scene of a woman and a man kissing, of course, some of the content is restricted.

Liang Shu took out his mobile phone and transferred money to him. After checking it, the other party said, "There are detailed information about these people, from work location to home address, and even details to size and duration."

Liang Shu stared at him, "You can go now."

...

In the afternoon, Gu Hansheng received a photo from Yucheng in his mailbox.

In the picture, Liang Shu sits in a quiet and peaceful coffee shop drinking coffee with people.

The background is blurred.

So the picture was so clear that even the rising heat of the coffee cup was clearly visible, of course, as well as the envelope in front of her.

Gu Hansheng called Ji Shen, and it was still at night over there.

Ji Shen made a round and round, "My wife went to see a private investigator this afternoon, talked about it for about 20 minutes, and transferred 200,000 yuan to the other party."

"Is she aware of the person you arranged next to her?"

"It shouldn't be there yet..." Ji Shen said.

Gu Hansheng made a faint statement: "She just used my card to swipe 200,000 at the mall this afternoon. Do you think it can be so coincidental?"

Even, the woman pretended to send him a message: Yesterday, she accidentally smashed a flowerpot in your study room and killed a flower in the zero mansion, which will be paid to you today.

The half-height flowerpot and the flowers planted in it are a bit expensive, but Liang Shu still bought it.

She didn't feel bad, she spent his money anyway.
