The next day, Zhao Zhao walked around the house.

No matter how quaint the house is, the kitchen is the most modern. Shen Ce knew that she liked cakes, so she specially placed a refrigerator in the corner with rows of small cakes. The staff in the house can eat it casually. If they are empty every day, they can always ensure that they will have the freshest replenishment the next day.

Holding a plate, Zhaozhao was digging chestnut cakes when he happened to meet someone from Shen Ce and his team coming to have tea.

This was the first time she saw him with the team. Today's Shen Ce is different from yesterday's. Although he didn't see any foreigners, he didn't wear a suit, and he used casual trousers and short sleeves to deal with his subordinates, but it gave people a sense of shock and awe that ten thousand troops were pressing down on the territory and holding on to their troops. He has always been stern in the workplace, but these subordinates are not afraid of him. No wonder Shen Ce said that his team is a bunch of radicals, just like him.

Always wear the least business and casual clothes and fight the most fierce professional fights. Everyone came from different places, and there were many disputes. They all learned the native language of their colleagues, just to have a good time. "I can only hear a lot of languages, and even some can only listen and not speak, all of which came out of their quarrels." Shen Ce introduced his subordinates in this way.

And at this moment, these workaholics were all quiet and silent, staring at her.

Shen Ce's "disappearance" in the past few years has been explained by the simplest "being trapped by love", so Zhaozhao has become an internal legend before he shows up... Trapped such a fierce man with love, let him let go of everything What should a girl whose career evaporated from the world be like? This mystery has shrouded the team for five years—

"My girlfriend, Shen Zhaozhao," he said.

Zhaozhao sipped the cake that was mixed with milky white and chocolate color, and was watched by a dozen pairs of eyes... She held the right hand of the spoon, and slowly and slowly swayed it towards everyone.

Everyone is silent, thinking, why the boss is so lucky...

She stood still and asked Shen Ce with her eyes: Am I a mouthful of chocolate?

Shen Ce calmly glanced outside the door: Of course.

Zhaozhao understood, immediately took out a tissue, covered his mouth, and smiled at everyone, "I'm sorry, I know there are guests, I won't eat cake with chocolate sauce. You continue."

She left on the front foot, and a group of people behind her became arrogant, and immediately asked the boss about the marriage.

"It's hard to say," he said behind her. "Several marriage proposals were unsuccessful."

……nonsense. As she walked away, she returned silently.

Immediately someone said, it can be seen that the boss has been wearing the ring, and the girlfriend's hands are clean. At a glance, you can tell who is chained, and who is still undecided.

Someone else said, don't be fooled, the boss is very bad, even his girlfriend is calculated, knowing that they are not far away, can hear it, obviously using everyone's mouth to force marriage.

Seeing that everyone was getting farther and farther from the truth under Shen Ce's misdirection, she couldn't help but turn around and glared at him quietly.

Shen Ce guessed that she would turn back eventually, and was always at the door of the restaurant, across the long corridor, looking at her and smiling. Zhaozhao's complaints were dissipated, and he was still a little embarrassed because he thought that there were still a group of people watching by his side.

She went to Shuixie to read the materials for two or three hours, and the smile still lingered.

"This, is Zhao Zhao?"

When she turned around, she saw a middle-aged man standing beside Shen Ce, in his early forties, but with white hair. The color of the hair is extremely uniform, and it looks like after having white hair, it is simply dyed completely white.

Zhaozhao stood up with his hands on the table: "Hello." She asked Shen Ce.

"This is Shao Xiaowan's flawless gentleman." Shen Ce introduced the middle-aged man in a relaxed tone.

She woke up: "Hello, uncle."

Shen Ce mentioned that He Zhengting, the man his mother remarried, was young. When he was young, he fell in love with Shao Xiaowan at first sight. He had just returned to China after graduation, and he didn't dare to pursue it. He just tried to appear in any place Shao Xiaowan liked to go, such as charity banquets, racetracks, etc. Shao Xiaowan refused several times, but he persevered. Two years later, he finally transitioned to the stage of boyfriend and girlfriend. Shao Xiaowan didn't want to remarry, and no longer wanted children, and wanted to leave everything to Shen Ce. The man agreed immediately and made a ligation to show his attitude, which caused anger in the family. He insisted on his own opinion and established his own business. This relationship lasted for more than ten years, until the financial crisis, the man's accumulated assets for many years became negative, and he proposed to break up. Shao Xiaowan knew that getting married at this time was more like charity. Two years later, he made a comeback, and when he showed up again, he was a young man with white hair. When he proposed marriage, Shao Xiaowan agreed immediately, and let the Shao family take the initiative to propose a marriage, rebuilding the relationship between the man and the family.

When he got married, he asked a lawyer to draw up a prenuptial agreement. No matter how powerful the Shao family was, Shen Ce belonged to him, and had nothing to do with him. For this alone, keep the promise for a lifetime.

Shen Ce said at the time: "If you have a chance to meet this person, you will know that he is more serious and mature than my father, but my mother thinks he is good everywhere. What I didn't like about my father in the past, when it comes to him, it is all successful. advantage."

Therefore, where there are no shortcomings, they are all in their own eyes.

Comparing the two parents, she secretly rejoiced that she and Shen Ce met early, and even though they were separated, they were considered to be taken care of by God.

...

"Uncle, sit down." As long as someone treats Shen Ce well, Zhaozhao can't wait to give it back ten times better, especially when this person made great efforts in the years when Shen Ce was sick. She cleared the low table full of her documents and piled it on the floor, "What do you want to drink, uncle? Or what to eat? You sit, I'll get it."

"Didn't your mother say that you spoil your sister and refuse to let her do things?" He Zhengting asked Shen Ce.

"She's pretending," Shen Ce pressed Zhaozhao's shoulder and asked her to sit honestly, "We had a drink before we came over."

All three sat down with their knees crossed.

"My wife said that you are not as beautiful as a real person, and Shen Ce is not worthy of it," the man said seriously, "She said it's not good to tell you directly, like the future mother-in-law's intentional ingratiating. For me to see you for the first time, I must Paraphrase."

Her face was hot: "Thank you uncle."

"She also said that you have a great vision. You helped Mrs. Shen Yan buy a property and earned an apartment in Tsim Sha Tsui in two years." After finishing speaking, he said to Shen Ce, "You know how many of my friends went bankrupt by flipping properties. As soon as the property market falls, it is when the economy of that region collapses. It is too difficult to rise back to the high point. When Tokyo’s economy was good, those who speculated in properties to the high point did not rise again after the collapse. Vision is very important.”

She blushed at the praise.

"She also said..." He Zhengting asked her with a smile, "Do you still want to hear it?"

"Uncle, if you praise me again, I will be praised badly." She joked and waved her hand to refuse.

"Okay, the last sentence," the man nodded, "my wife said, thank you."

"Thank you for taking care of my brother, too," she said instead.

The middle-aged man smiled and said to Shen Ce, "She regards herself as your closest person, and she wants to thank me."

This time, the man came to send the antiquities of the Shao family and the He family.

Shen Ce wanted to accompany him to send the antiquities to a private museum, and asked Zhaozhao to come back until dinner time. Seeing that Shen Ce was not there, she wanted to go back to Shen's house first and talk to her cousin.

At about five o'clock, she walked back to Shen's house. As soon as she entered the gate, she was greeted and said, "There is a media from Hong Kong. Go and have a look."

Unlike his cousin, Shen Ce did not invite the media to follow up on his ancestor worship this time. There was only a group of charitable donations that day, and they were all arranged in a hotel near the town, not here. However, my grandfather and several cousins ​​never refused to be interviewed. The Shen family often entertained such guests and did not feel any inappropriateness, so they directly arranged to have tea at the first entrance.

Zhaozhao walked in and shook hands with a man wearing glasses. The other party handed out a business card and introduced himself. He heard that the voice was indeed from Hong Kong and Macau. "We came in a hurry this time, Miss Shen, forgive me," the other party asked politely, "I don't know where the museum is, is it convenient to see it today?"

"It is always open to the media, and the museum will be locked after 10 o'clock," she said. "I just want to go there and arrange for another car to go with me."

"That's great." The other party thanked him deeply.

Because he was from Shen Ce's birthplace, he had a sense of intimacy. While arranging the car, she found the first batch of written materials of the antiquities from the Shen residence, and showed them to the reporter at the hotel in the evening.

The other party has a deep understanding of antiquities, and Zhaozhao chatted about the Shen family's collection building in Macau. The Shen family has never been open to the public, only entertaining friends from the world, so the media in Hong Kong and Macau are very interested in this donation. "Can we chat first?" The reporter wearing glasses took out a recording pen, "Being able to draw materials from the descendants of the Shen family is more excavating than reading written materials."

Zhaozhao readily agreed.

This time, she was going to help Shen Ce, and she knew a lot more.

After about ten minutes, the two of them chatted happily, and the car arrived. The reporter got into the car with her, the remaining two assistants and the photojournalist were in the latter car.

When left the Shen mansion, the sun was setting and the lanterns by the water were beginning to come on.

When the car drove out of town, the reporter looked at the rearview mirror and said, "It's really lively here."

"Normally it's not so lively," she smiled and looked at the rearview mirror. There were more than a dozen cars behind, and some wanted to drive out and some wanted to go in. "The Shen family also pays homage to their ancestors once every ten years."

Zhaozhao and the two cars continued to move forward.

"The two weapons in the Shen family town house have never been seen before. Will they also appear at the donation ceremony this time?"

"The sword will be there. If the sword is to be repaired, it will not be delivered." This is what Shen Ce told her.

The other party's question came to an end.

From the town to the private museum, there is no highway, and it takes about an hour to drive.

Zhaozhao opened the thermos cup and took a sip of water to moisten his throat.

Holding the water glass, she was attracted by the sunset outside the window, and was still thinking about the uncle she saw today. The back of her hand was suddenly pushed away, hot water spilled from the thermos cup, and for a second, she was scalded, and a cloth was covered in front of her nose. One hand pressed her nose and mouth, and pressed her person to the back of the chair—

This was her last consciousness.

...

No light, no sound of rain, and no fan blowing. The wooden door was opened, and there was even the sound of water waves.

Her senses slowly recovered.

The breath she exhaled hit the black cloth in front of her, her heart was beating so hard, and every blow made her ears ringing. She didn't dare to move rashly, she couldn't see the outside world, and all she felt was that her hands and feet were all tied. She moved her lips slightly and closed her eyes, trying to make herself able to resist the fear and calm down as soon as possible. It was kidnapping, that's all she knew.

There were people walking around, speaking Thai. She can understand part of it, and she has learned it in the past six months.

It's all men, talking about the rain here, talking about this water cabin.

"What do you... want?" Her voice was dry, unable to restrain the trembling of her voice, "What do you want?"

The voice fell silent for a moment.
