Chapter 190 Sweet Visit
Chapter 190 Sweet Visit
On the day he left, Ni Jia thought that all these koi might eventually die.
She felt quite pity for him at that time, just like when "Sanhua" left.
I didn't expect that five years later, they were still in this small fish pond, alive and free.
But there was still something different. Ni Jia discovered it the moment he stepped into the garden.
There are spotlights, oxygenation equipment, and heating rods on the edge of the pond. In addition to these, there is also an iron box next to it.
"what is that?"
"Water quality testing equipment." The housekeeper subconsciously glanced at the surveillance camera on the top of the right side.
As he looked, Ni Jia also looked in the direction he was looking and discovered that surveillance cameras were installed in the front and back corners of the garden. He was immediately surprised.
But just three fish died, and Li Yucheng made such a big fuss about it.
"This..." She pointed at the camera above and asked, "Will he watch it?"
"Both surveillance cameras are connected to Mr. Li's phone, so they can be viewed in real time."
Ni Jia's heart skipped a beat, and she felt panic as if her little action had been discovered, but she quickly realized that Li Yucheng was in a meeting at that moment and had no time to check the surveillance.
It would be better to make a quick decision. He instructed the butler to throw the fish in the bag into the pond, but the butler seemed a little hesitant.
"what happened?"
Isn't it because he's afraid that something might happen to the treasure in the pond... The housekeeper asked tentatively: "How about I make a phone call and ask the breeder to come back first?"
They were just a few new fish, they were so lively and energetic, what could go wrong? Ni Jia took the bag and threw all the fish in.
She guessed that the breeder should report directly to Li Yucheng or Li Xinghe every day.
Then wouldn't it be exposed immediately if she came here this time? She also wanted to give Li Yucheng a surprise in the evening.
Watching several new fish pouring into the pond one after another, the housekeeper's face became stiff and worried, fearing that something might go wrong.
Seeing that he was really worried, Ni Jia comforted him, "Don't worry about them, the store has already fed them."
It's because of not caring that things get into trouble. The butler's mouth twitched, and he looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he didn't dare to say anything.
"Keep it a secret!" Ni Jia warned, and the housekeeper nodded reluctantly.
Due to the surveillance, Ni Jia did not dare to stay here for long. He left immediately after placing the fish.
The company's renovation is nearing completion and it will be a big change in two or three months. We are cleaning it up these days, and it's a good time to ventilate the space during the New Year period.
Ni Jia stood in his office, opened the map, searched the distance from here to Li's Building, and took a screenshot.
On a whim, she sent it to Li Yucheng. Although Jiami was far inferior to Li's, this was her confidence.
She hoped that the company would grow steadily, allowing her to be closer to Li Yucheng.
She didn't have this wish before, but now she does.
Li Yucheng must be busy and didn't reply immediately. After Ni Jia took a round of inspection, he bought some water for the cleaners and workers before leaving.
It's a little after three o'clock now. She finished early here. We have to go back to Taiping together anyway, so I might as well go to the company and wait for her.
She bought coffee downstairs. The front desk clerk on the first floor didn't stop her, but smiled a little strangely. Ni Jia was in a good mood today and didn't think much about it. Instead, she smiled back.
It was not until she reached the top floor and got out of the elevator that she realized something was wrong when Li Xinghe saw her and hurried towards her as if he had seen a ghost.
"Madam, there are guests in Mr. Li's office."
It's normal to have guests, why are you so panicked?
Ni Jia appeared calm on the surface, but the first person that popped into his mind was Shen Chuyao. Could it be that after what happened last night, that woman still hadn't given up?
"What guest?" This was the first time she asked more questions about Li Yucheng's work.
Li Xinghe obviously didn't expect this. He drooped his eyelashes and fluttered, as if he was reluctant to answer, but had to answer.
"Mr. Cheng."
"Cheng Wenbai?"
"Yes."
Thinking he would run into someone important, Ni Jia felt relieved and looked a little speechless.
"Then why do you have that expression?"
Originally, Li Xinghe wanted to take Ni Jia to another place to rest and avoid meeting Cheng Wenbo, but he didn't expect the other party to ask directly.
It’s over, he thought, if these two people meet, President Li will be in a bad mood again, and then he will be in trouble again.
"How about I take you to the lounge to wait?"
"Forget it, give this to him, I'm leaving first." Ni Jia handed the coffee to Li Xinghe and turned to press the elevator button.
It was too embarrassing. It wasn't appropriate for her and Cheng Wenbo to meet now. Just thinking about it would cost her a lot to buy a one-bedroom, three-living-room apartment.
From what Cheng Kangsheng said yesterday, he should be here to discuss work. Since she had nothing to do anyway, she might as well go for a walk around the neighborhood to kill time.
"Wait." Li Xinghe stopped her and smiled flatteringly: "I'd better go and report it."
I think the young lady had made a wasted trip, and Mr. Li would be angry when he knew about it. Since he is angry on both sides, it doesn't matter how I bear it.
"No, I'm fine."
When Ni Jia was about to step into the elevator, Li Xinghe boldly grabbed her, his brows fell and he looked pleading.
This would make it difficult for her to leave, and she didn't want to make things difficult for a secretary.
She sat down at Li Xinghe's office, held her chin and waved her hand, signaling him to leave quickly and come back soon.
Her idea now was very simple: if Li Yucheng wanted to see her, then he should go in.
If Li Yucheng doesn't want her to see Cheng Wenbo, then forget it. She's in a good mood anyway, so anything is fine.
The screen in front of him went out. Ni Jia saw the wound on his mouth through the computer and couldn't help but think of the kiss last night. His mouth suddenly felt dry and he licked his lips.
Li Xinghe knocked on the door and went in. He glanced at Cheng Wenbai on the other side of the sofa, walked to Li Yucheng, bent down and whispered softly.
"The young lady is here."
When he wanted to make arrangements, the person was not available. Now he has given up and the person is here again.
Li Yucheng raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised, "Bring her over here."
"Come to the office?" Li Xinghe asked uncertainly.
Li Yucheng picked up the coffee and looked at him sideways: "What else?"
Li Xinghe understood the victory and felt relieved by the smug look in his eyes. He just stood up and bent down again when he saw the cup of coffee.
"The young lady brought you coffee."
Li Yucheng paused, brought the cup to his lips, and put it back.
There was nothing good about this cup of coffee; the beans were a bit bitter, he suddenly felt.
"Is Mr. Li satisfied with the price offered by Cheng?"
Cheng Wenbo sat on the sofa opposite, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and smiling gently, like a very gentle businessman.
And it just so happened that what Li Yucheng hated the most was this kind of smile, which was fake, artificial, always like wearing a mask, and insincere.
A man who has just been rejected for marriage should not be able to laugh.
He crossed his legs, tapped his knees with his fingertips, and silently counted down the time until Ni Jia would appear.
"I can't say I'm satisfied. After all, your prices don't have much of an advantage."
"Cheng's has already reduced the profit to the lowest level," Cheng Wenbo smiled, "I wonder what price Bona will offer?"
Li Xinghe went out without closing the door, and the footsteps were now obvious. Li Yucheng stopped tapping his fingers and looked towards the source of the sound.
A smile appeared on his face, but the provocation continued: "I can't reveal this, but I can quietly remind Mr. Cheng that there is still a long way to go."
