Was Aquaman’s ex-husband cremated today?

Tong Xiao stood on the street in Shanghai, his brows furrowed, his mood as gloomy as the winter sky.

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, a batch of goods had to be delivered to Shanghai, and she was sent here by Guo Chifeng again.

It seemed that Zhou Xixiang had taken care of her once before, so the general manager of the client was very polite to her when he saw her. This made Tong Xiao feel uncomfortable, but at the same time, she felt very happy.

After staying at Hanting for two days, the client company directly upgraded its accommodation standard to Orange Hotel.

She thought that it would be a waste if she didn't take advantage of the opportunity.

Tong Xiao never expected that the client company was so nice to her because they wanted something for her.

That day, she got up late, dressed up beautifully in her room and was about to go out to find something to eat when she happened to receive a call from the client's secretary, asking her to rush to the club at No. xxx, xxx Road.

The client's secretary sounded anxious, so Tong Xiao went over without thinking much. When he arrived at the club, he found that there were luxury cars parked outside the club and there were many bodyguards at the door.

When she aimlessly went up to the second floor of the club and saw Zhou Xixiang sitting there, Tong Xiao's little heart exploded instantly and blood flowed like a river.

what's the situation?

The fat manager called her over because...

It seems that the clients have been so nice to her these days just to use her at this moment?

Tong Xiao wanted to roll up his sleeves and strangle the fat man to death at that moment.

At most, she and Zhou Xixiang had met a few times and were not very familiar with each other, so what was the point of asking her to come?

Since he was here, he might as well make the best of it. Tong Xiao could only smile and greet people: "Hi, Mr. Zhou is also in Shanghai on a business trip?"

Zhou Xixiang nodded slightly. As always, he was dressed in a well-ironed suit and had shiny leather shoes. Every detail he made while holding the teacup showed his identity and status.

Apart from a few seconds of surprise when he saw her, there was no major emotional change.

The fat general manager had a face full of flesh and smiled and said, "Miss Tong happened to be on a business trip in Shanghai. I have been taking care of her these past few days. Don't you two know each other? I thought that since Mr. Zhou is coming today, I would also like to invite Miss Tong to chat with us."

Tong Xiao sat obediently next to the fat manager, watching him perform.

The waiter brought the bowl and chopsticks. Tong Xiao was hungry, so after sitting for a while, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

The other two people were busy talking without picking up their chopsticks. They would occasionally glance at her, but Tong Xiao would avoid their gazes and was too lazy to pay attention to any of them.

But she probably understood that the real estate company wanted to continue lending to Huayu, but Huayu was unwilling to take the risk of continuing to lend because the real estate company still had funds to recover.

In addition, the real estate industry is currently subject to government regulation and the overall situation is not optimistic, so Zhou Xixiang has never given in.

The fat manager couldn't make the attack after a long time and kept glancing towards Tong Xiao.

Tong Xiao really didn't know how to help, so she looked at Zhou Xixiang and said, "Mr. Zhou, this pigeon meat is good, you should try it too."

Zhou Xixiang glanced at her with an ambiguous look in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he elegantly picked up the chopsticks and tasted this delicious dish.

The fat manager continued to flirt with Tong Xiao, but Tong Xiao was too embarrassed to look at him again. She decided to go back to Hanting.

In the end, Zhou Xixiang still did not give any convenience and the loan from the real estate company was not negotiated.

After sending Zhou Xixiang away, the fat manager's face darkened and he asked Tong Xiao, "Did you break up?"

Tong Xiao: “…Ah.”

Fat manager: "Don't pretend, I can see it, he is being indifferent to you, not as good as last time! What is your relationship?"

What kind of relationship? Tong Xiao feels that the closest relationship is: "He is the elder brother of my best friend's husband."

The fat manager thought he was hallucinating and said with a look of hatred, "What kind of relationship is this?! I thought you two had slept together. Okay, okay, no wonder Zhou Xixiang had no reaction when he saw you and didn't give in at all. I was wrong!"

Tong Xiao felt very uncomfortable when he heard this. What did it mean to have slept together? He wanted to get angry but suppressed it.

"We were very friendly before, but it is obvious that Mr. Zhou believes today that I am working with you to blackmail him. He thinks we are birds of a feather."

That's probably why he turned a blind eye to her and ignored her coldly.

The fat manager was too lazy to talk to her and waved Tong Xiao away.

Tong Xiao returned to the Orange Hotel, packed up his things and went straight back to Hanting.

Fortunately, the real estate company did not touch the Chifeng project, did not cause trouble for Chifeng, and continued to invest in security equipment for Chifeng construction.

Tong Xiao was busy licking clients and supervising the site during the day. When he returned to the hotel at night, he tossed and turned in bed, frequently clicking on Zhou Xixiang's message box.

She wanted to explain that she was kept in the dark about what happened during the day and she was not cheating anyone outside. But then she thought again and wondered if she thought too highly of herself and Zhou Xixiang might not have thought much about it.

Seeing that Zhou Xixiang had not received the 5,000 yuan that he had given out last time and that the money had been automatically returned, Tong Xiao could only take this as an opportunity to transfer another 5,000 yuan to Zhou Xixiang.

Tong Xiao kept checking Weibo while waiting until after one in the middle of the night, when the five thousand yuan was finally received. He got nervous and sat up from the bed.

Five minutes passed and there was no news.

Just collect the money?

No way, not only did we lose the lady, but we also lost our army.

Tong Xiao was unwilling to give up and took the initiative to explain: [Um, Mr. Zhou, I didn’t know you were there during the day, really]

Zhou Xixiang replied indifferently with a "hmm", and there was no more news.

You could say he is indifferent, but he is such a busy man yet he still replies to messages. You could say he is not indifferent, but he only replies with one word, it would be better if he didn't send the message at all.

Tong Xiao thought for a long time and replied: [Then we are still friends, right? ]

Tong Xiao felt that if she could make a friend like Zhou Xixiang, who could guide her in her career and help her make money, she would be close to becoming rich.

Zhou Xixiang did not respond.

It seems that even if you try to be clever and push your luck, you still won't be able to get it.

Tong Xiao sighed. Was her trap so obvious? Most people would just reply: Of course.

After spending a week in Shanghai, Tong Xiao was exhausted. She returned to Licheng and saw her name on the New Year's duty roster from New Year's Eve to the sixth day of the New Year.

Tong Xiao was so furious.

Like a rocket that had been set on fire, he called Guo Chifeng directly and cried and cursed to get three days of rest.

Feeling depressed, Tong Xiao called Li Qingwen to arrange a drink at the bar, but a man answered the phone: "Don't you have any other friends? Don't go to my wife for a drink."

Before Tong Xiao could scold Zhou Yongan for answering the phone casually, the call was hung up.

Without even a drinking partner, Tong Xiao came to the bar alone, silently drank two cocktails, and then saw Zhou Yongan's long-time follower - Yu Zijing.

Yu Zijing was dressed casually, looking relaxed. When he saw Tong Xiao, he walked over and said hello: "Miss Tong, are you here to drink alone too?"

Tong Xiao looked up at him and said calmly, "Can you control your brother? He monopolizes my best friend every day. Can you give me some time?"

Yu Zijing: "Don't say anything, they haven't had a good time recently. There are rumors in the circle that they are going to divorce. If someone sees my sister-in-law drinking alone outside now, I don't know how to make a story."

Tong Xiao: "Divorce? What kind of circle are you guys in? Your reaction time is too long. You only start spreading rumors after they've reconciled."

Seeing that she was still in the dark, Yu Zijing told her about the recent Huayu Annual Meeting and said that the old lady had embarrassed her grandson's wife in front of many people.

"Poverty alleviation?!!!" Tong Xiao drank two glasses of cocktails after hearing this. "This damn old woman, she must be over 80 years old, right? Don't let me see her, otherwise I will definitely..."

Yu Zijing asked timidly: "What else do you want?"

Tong Xiao: "Ask her what she eats for three meals a day. How come she is so healthy and long-lived."

Yu Zijing: ...
