captured by your prey

"Thank you very much today, Miss Zhou."

Before leaving get off work, Xie Xiyuan called Zhou Sheng who was about to leave.

She took out a bag of exquisitely packaged chocolates from her pocket, smiled and reached out to Zhou Sheng. "What's the matter, don't you like chocolate?" Seeing that Zhou Sheng didn't respond immediately, she asked apologetically.

"I like it, I ate it." Zhou Sheng reached out to take the thing in Xie Xiyuan's hand, took it over and looked at it, it was a chocolate cube melted on a small wooden spoon, it really looked like a gift that Xie Xiyuan would give.She looked at the girl standing in front of her, smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."

Xie Xiyuan is just an insignificant employee in the company, doing some simple work, while Zhou Sheng is one of the main persons in charge of the company's management.It stands to reason that they shouldn't have an intersection, but Zhou Sheng is still responsible for his duties outside of work. Occasionally, after reviewing and verifying, he will guide other matters when he has free time. Xie Xiyuan only had a few brief conversations with her. comminicate.

Although Zhou Sheng doesn't talk much at ordinary times, he also looks like he is not good at communicating except for business affairs. He is not a very likable type standing in the crowd, and he looks a bit boring most of the time.But Xie Xiyuan liked her a lot, at least he didn't think she was bad.

Seeing that Zhou Sheng accepted it readily, Xie Xiyuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, heaved a sigh of relief and grinned, "It's great that you like it, but I was worried that you would reject it because you didn't like it. "

"No, I like it very much, thank you."

When Zhou Sheng spoke, Xie Xiyuan knew that it was not because of indifference or anything else, it was just that this person was like this, and he would hold back his emotions.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Xiyuan saw a figure standing outside the door not far behind Zhou Sheng. Lin Rui is Zhou Sheng's boyfriend, and he is an executive of a nearby company. He is more able to talk to Zhou Sheng at work. Let's talk a little bit.Xie Xiyuan knew about the relationship between the two of them. "He's looking at you, is that your boyfriend?"

"Yeah." Zhou Sheng nodded.

"Okay, then I'll go back first." Xie Xiyuan hesitated for a while, and finally maintained her light posture, smiled and waved goodbye.

Maybe it was because of Xie Xiyuan's always smiling face that Zhou Sheng paid attention to her from time to time.In that office area, Xie Xiyuan looked like he had just walked out of college—he hadn't entered the social life from the carefree campus, and he still had the childishness of teenagers on him .

It seems that he doesn't worry about anything, and thinks that there is nothing scary about the road ahead and the whole body. When Zhou Sheng sees Xie Xiyuan like this, he always thinks of himself at that age, and the chaos that is coming.

Xie Xiyuan's family lived on the edge between the city center and the suburbs. After returning home, she washed and rested for a while, then put on her coat again and went out.It takes only a few minutes to drive from where she lives to her destination, and she can walk there by walking, but now she puts a lot of snacks and drinks she just purchased on the back seat of the car, so she just drove over.

On the street outside, it seems that there are some ordinary small shops on both sides, some of which are rather dilapidated, with some ugly neon lights hanging outside, and this side already belongs to the suburbs.Xie Xiyuan walked into a small alley next to a bar, and walked in sideways with a large box. After walking more than ten meters inside, he saw a staircase outside the building. Xie Xiyuan walked up, Shouted in front of the door on the second floor.

"Susu, come and help me carry this." Seeing the girl who came to open the door, Xie Xiyuan handed her the things in his hand, put his back against the door and raised his hands to wipe his face, while ordering to open the box. Things are put on the shelves.

There were a few girls sitting scattered in the room inside the door, and when Xie Xiyuan brought up all the remaining things in the car, she rolled up her sleeves and went to say hello to each other.

"A Yuan, you are here!" Chen Xinyi lay on the door frame and smiled playfully at her, causing Xie Xiyuan to reach out and mess up her hair, but she didn't care, and continued to use a coquettish tone towards Xie Xiyuan Said: "A Yuan, what delicious food did you buy for us?"

"As long as you have a lot to do, go and see for yourself."

The other party stuck out her tongue, Xie Xiyuan ignored her and walked along the aisle.Outside the door she just entered was a dark and opaque narrow alley, but inside the door was a comfortable scene.Winter is coming these few days, the heating is turned on in the house, and the aisles and rooms are also very spacious. Although I wouldn’t use luxury to describe the decoration here, it’s just a simple layout that makes people feel clean and comfortable.

"Agaki."

"Are you busy today?" Walking to a room, she asked a woman holding a cup by the door.

"Same as usual, a guest just called and said he would bring a friend or two with him later today." "He's a guarantor?" "Of course, I made it clear on the phone." "Oh, yes Ah, did he name anyone?" "He still wants Xinxi, but isn't Xinxi going out today? I'll call and ask later. The other two friends are here for the first time, so I didn't say anything." Name someone."

"Okay, you can see what they mean and make arrangements. If you need anything, you can come to me anytime." After Xie Xiyuan finished speaking, he continued to walk in, and finally came to a room at the end of the corridor.She went in and changed her plain coat, and when she came out again, she was wearing a slightly elegant formal suit.

But it's not as strict as she usually is in the company, but rather lazy and casual.

"Xiaogaki, you're here, I'll go up first."

"Agaki, you're here—"

The girls passing by the door all smiled and greeted Xie Xiyuan, each of them was wearing heavy or light makeup, looking very pleasing to the eye. "Xiao Yuan, there is a customer downstairs right now, and An He is still busy upstairs." "I'll go down with you." Saying that, Xie Xiyuan followed An Zhi, and the two went to the stairwell together I went, and when I got down to the first floor, An Zhi took a quick step forward to meet a man, and greeted him with a soft voice.

"Mr. Lin has worked hard today. Would you like to pour you a glass of red wine later? It's newly bought by Anzhi himself. I want to taste it with Mr. Lin."

"Don't worry, we have a lot of time today!" The man seemed to like An Zhi very much, and he moved closer to her and hugged her.An Zhi went up to him and smiled: "Everyone is very busy today, our boss will come and bring you the project list in person."

After An Zhi finished speaking, he raised his eyes, but saw Xie Xiyuan abruptly stopped the footsteps coming towards this end, and then went straight to the work room next to him.

Immediately, An Zhi saw Xianqing being pushed out of the room, the man pointed at Xianqing and asked, "Is this the boss?"

Xian Qing was sent out by Xie Xiyuan in a daze, but after seeing the scene outside the door, she knew roughly what to do.She twirled her fingers around the hair on the side of her face, walked up to greet the man with a smile. "Mr. Lin is a regular customer. I have always thanked you for your patronage. Are you satisfied with your rest here?"

Seeing that Xianqing led Lin Rui upstairs, An Zhicai poked his head into the work room: "Xiao Yuan, is that someone you know?"

"Uh, no..." Xie Xiyuan had a slightly stiff expression: "But I know him. He is one of the directors of our company's latest cooperation. He passed by and met a few times during the meeting."

"Oh - he comes here often, he seems to like me quite a bit." An Zhi thought about it.

Xie Xiyuan touched his face: "But she is my boss' boyfriend who has been dating for a while..."

That's why Xie Xiyuan didn't know what to do to respond well. The first floor of this place is a bar, the second floor is a lounge and storage room, and the third floor is a separate room that is not open to the public.Push the door through the staff passage on the first floor, and you will find that there is actually a passenger elevator leading to the third floor, but you need a key card, so people usually lead you up.

It is also a hidden illegal surname trading place.

Whether it's Anzhi or Xianqing who just went up, including the girls Xie Xiyuan met when he first came in, they are all people who make money here.

——that is, remember women.

And the person who has been running and managing this place is Xie Xiyuan.

Although the usual affairs in the store are handled by others, she comes over almost every day after get off work, but basically stays in her office on the second floor.Unless there is a temporary incident or the staff is too busy, she will go to help as a waiter. Even if someone sees her occasionally, they think she is just a waiter here.

Xie Xiyuan is just a small employee in the company, and she doesn't have many chances to meet Zhou Sheng, let alone Lin Rui.

After that, when Zhou Sheng appeared occasionally, she still remembered it, and then hesitated whether to tell Zhou Sheng—Zhou Sheng is Xie Xiyuan's boss, this person is not very sociable, but she is very serious about her work He is always very patient with his subordinates when teaching and directing official affairs. He usually looks like a very monotonous life.

Generally speaking, people are very nice.

Xie Xiyuan held his chin and looked at Zhou Sheng who was passing by with a glass of water outside the glass door. She had been concerned about this issue for a long time, and the more she cared, the more she would pay attention to Zhou Sheng.If her identity was just a small employee in Zhou Sheng's company, then of course she could go over and tell her.

But she happens to be the boss who runs the "Record Academy", so she can't touch this kind of thing no matter what.

That day happened to be the weekend, and the colleagues in the company left early, Xie Xiyuan finished the last bit of work before packing up and preparing to leave.When she walked to the door, she realized that it was raining, and she didn't bring an umbrella anyway, so she had to wait for a while.

"Don't you have an umbrella?"

Someone stood beside him, Xie Xiyuan turned his head and saw that it was Zhou Sheng, and nodded his head in a muffled voice.The other party opened his umbrella and said to her, "Would you go to the opposite side and take the bus back? I'll take you there."

Xie Xiyuan nodded again and said thank you.

"The weather has been very good since last night. Remember to bring an umbrella when you go out. Don't get caught in the rain. It's easy to catch a cold." Zhou Sheng said as he walked, his voice was unhurried.

Xie Xiyuan followed Zhou Sheng, lowering her body as much as possible, because she realized that she was taller than Zhou Sheng when they walked side by side, and it was always inconvenient for Zhou Sheng to hold an umbrella. "Let me do it." She simply reached out to take the umbrella, Zhou Sheng paused, thinking that he had let her get wet, so he let her hold the umbrella.

Xie Xiyuan remembered that when she went to the tea room this morning, she happened to bump into Zhou Sheng who was on the phone. She guessed that the person on the other end of the phone was Lin Rui. From Zhou Sheng's words, she seemed to want to ask Lin Rui to have dinner together this weekend.It was already dinner time, and Zhou Sheng was alone again, so he knew that Lin Rui had rejected her.

I guess it's because Lin Rui made an appointment with Anzhi a few days ago, and today is Friday again, so it's normal for him not to miss this time.

Xie Xiyuan paid attention to Zhou Sheng beside him from the corner of his eye, wondering what he was thinking.When Zhou Sheng turned his head, he realized that the coat on Xie Xiyuan's other shoulder was almost wet. They walked under the eaves, and Zhou Sheng reached out and touched Xie Xiyuan's shoulder. "Why don't you take care of your umbrella, it's cold now, clothes are not so easy to dry."

Xie Xiyuan didn't react immediately, she just followed her own habit.He opened his mouth and just said it was okay, then Zhou Sheng continued: "You don't think it's because you are still young, but in a few years you will know that you need to pay attention to your body."

"I'm really fine, don't worry about me." Xie Xiyuan smiled at her, then casually patted the rainwater on his shoulder.

"Then be careful not to catch a cold on the way back." Zhou Sheng put away his umbrella.

"By the way—" Xie Xiyuan called Zhou Sheng who was about to leave, and when Zhou Sheng turned around and looked at her, she couldn't say anything for a while.

Zhou Sheng stood there, Xie Xiyuan pondered for a moment, and finally spoke intermittently.

"I want... I want to have dinner near here. Do you have any recommended restaurants, can you take me there?"
