Beijing-Hong Kong Confession

Uncle Cai's real name was Cai Chen.

He was very careful in his work. He sent Zhu Xia to the reception room and arranged for the girl in the secretary's office to serve coffee and prepare afternoon tea snacks.

Although it is already evening, it should be called evening tea.

"The young master is still in a meeting, which is expected to end in ten minutes." Cai Chen said to Zhu Xia in a humble tone, "I have other work to do. Doctor Zhu, please feel free to do as you please. If you need anything, you can find the secretary at the door."

"Sorry for the trouble." Zhu Xia bowed.

When Cai Chen came out of the reception room, he bumped head-on into Jiang Anyu, who was delivering the documents himself.

Cai Chen greeted: "Lawyer Jiang."

"Uncle Cai."

Jiang Anyu was tall and slender, wearing a white suit, looking like a pure and elegant gentleman. His eyes were sharp and clear under his gold-rimmed glasses. He looked into the reception room, was silent for a moment, and said, "Is that Doctor Zhu?"

When working in a powerful family, the most important thing is to know the limits.

They are all very sensible people.

Cai Chen did not take the initiative to ask Zhu Xia to wait in the office. Firstly, he did not have He Lianzhou's permission, and secondly, there were many confidential documents in the office.

He follows the rules and puts the interests of the He family first.

Jiang Anyu is not gossipy and only cares about He Lianzhou and the He family.

His question was not a doubt, but a search for verbal evidence.

Cai Chen smiled slightly and had the right to remain silent.

Jiang Anyu said: "I haven't seen Dr. Zhu for a long time. Let's go say hello to her."

"Lawyer Jiang." Cai Chen stopped Jiang Anyu with a solemn and gentle expression, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to meet the young master's guest."

Cai Chen is extremely loyal to He Lianzhou. Apart from old man He Jihua and He Lianzhou, he does not listen to anyone else's arrangements and is not afraid of anyone.

Cai Chen's attitude indirectly told Jiang Anyu about Zhu Xia's specialness.

"Pity."

Jiang Anyu showed a look of regret, and said politely, "I was thinking of asking Dr. Zhu for advice on how she made our boss He buy out the Hong Kong media without saying a word and kill the news before it became popular."

Cai Chen just smiled and said nothing.

At this moment, in the reception room.

The aroma of coffee filled the air on the table. Zhu Xia sat on the leather sofa, with a white shopping bag containing He Lianzhou's suit jacket placed next to her.

The reception room is like a large glass box, with a floor-to-ceiling glass window on one side, and the rest of the walls are hung with priceless cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings. Behind the sofa is a bookshelf filled with a wide variety of classical books... It has the scent of books, yet is still efficient and neat in the workplace.

It's really good for entertaining guests.

Zhu Xia stood up, walked around the bookshelf to the glass window, and overlooked the entire city.

The port area is full of high-rise buildings, and the steel buildings are like countless dazzling chess pieces, scattered in an orderly manner on the huge chessboard, shining brightly.

Zhu Xia was looking at the prosperous and magnificent scene, when she suddenly heard some noise at the door and turned around to look.

The girl from the secretary's office led a visitor in, served tea, and then left respectfully.

The guest was not at all shy, he sat down with ease, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Zhu Xia looked at the tall and broad back of the man, pondered for a few seconds, and then walked out.

The man sitting on another sofa looked to be in his fifties, and his every move exuded elegance, nobility and deterrence.

The identity must not be simple.

Probably He Lianzhou's guest.

She was here to return her clothes, there was no need to wait that long.

Zhu Xia walked to the sofa where she had just sat.

The man looked at her sharply, and Zhu Xia responded with a polite smile.

The other person's sharp gaze swept over her roughly, obviously not taking the girl who appeared out of nowhere seriously.

Zhu Xia picked up her bag, turned and walked towards the door. Just after taking two steps, the door opened and a tall figure appeared in her field of vision.

She was stunned and stopped.

He Lianzhou twirled his bow tie with his slender fingers and loosened it slowly. This ordinary action exuded an inexplicable elegance and casualness from him.

Zhu Xia looked at him quickly. The man was wearing a well-tailored white shirt, black trousers wrapped around a pair of long legs, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and an upright figure. His eyes stayed on her for three seconds and then moved back.

"Finally I have seen it."

The voice was deep, magnetic, and contained a hint of anger.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xia turned his head to look at the middle-aged man standing in front of the leather sofa. He looked at his face clearly and found that his facial features were somewhat similar to those of He Lianzhou and He Chuyin.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, an idea popped into her mind. Could it be... She looked at He Lianzhou.

He Lianzhou looked distracted and almost indifferent. He was as calm and composed as usual, with no sign of anything unusual.

Although neither the father nor the son spoke, Zhu Xia noticed that the air was getting thinner and the atmosphere was getting serious.

The He family's affairs were not something she could sit in on.

"Excuse me." Zhu Xia pointed in a direction and said to He Lianzhou, "The clothes are in the bag and have been washed."

After saying that, she tactfully left, but was stopped by He Lianzhou.

"No need to go, wait for me to get off." He Lianzhou said.

Zhu Xia looked at him, then at He Yanting.

Both the father and the son have the restrained and calm temperament of a superior, so they probably wouldn't smash things and hurt an innocent girl.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xia relaxed and turned into a transparent person standing silently by the side.

Seeing that she was quiet, He Lianzhou said to He Yanting calmly, "If you have anything to say, please finish within two minutes."

"Two minutes, good job." He Yanting's voice was cold in anger, "Is that how you talk to your father?"

"If it weren't for Grandpa, you wouldn't even have these two minutes."

He Lianzhou's calm tone revealed a cold and ruthless tone.

He Yanting's breathing became slightly heavier. After a while, he calmed down and said, "What do you think of the original matter? Or do you have any conditions?"

"Impossible." He Lianzhou's expression was calm and he answered straightforwardly, "There are no conditions."

"Where's the time?"

"forever."

"Lianzhou." A pleading look appeared on He Yanting's face.

Zhu Xia was surprised.

Neither He Lianzhou nor He Yanting are the type to ask for help from others. What on earth happened that made He Yanting change his usual behavior?

"No need to say more." He Lianzhou raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. His cold tone did not allow for discussion. "No matter who you look for, the answer will not change."

Even Grandpa He Jihua couldn't convince He Lianzhou, let alone He Yanting.

The room suddenly fell into endless silence.

It was so quiet that Zhu Xia could almost hear her own breathing. Her eyelids drooped, and all she could see was He Lianzhou's trouser legs.

The silent waves hit the reception room, the waves were surging, sweeping away the peace and comfort, leaving only a lot of weirdness.

After a long time, the waves receded.

He Yanting snorted coldly, but his momentum did not diminish. He strode away with his head held high and passed by He Lianzhou.

Zhu Xia looked at He Yanting's broad and majestic back, and after a moment, she retracted her gaze and looked at He Lianzhou.

The man's eyes were calm and his expression was calm, as if he was not the one who had just disrespected his biological father and had a firm attitude.

Zhu Xia blinked her eyelashes slowly, and her clear eyes reflected his appearance.

"Do you want to check your clothes?"
