Chapter 148 Lurking
Chapter 148 Lurking
Hei Huo Mian picked up a raspberry and put it into the little girl's mouth, then asked with a smile:
"What details about the wedding? Have you chosen your wedding dress or honeymoon destination?"
"Be serious!" The girl blushed and reached out to twist the soft flesh on the man's waist.
The man was being manipulated by the girl. When he fell on the sofa, he did not forget to hold her in his arms and lean on her. He kissed her cheeks and lips several times, then he put his hands behind his head and replied lazily:
"Okay, okay, I'm serious now, now it's your turn to be serious."
"Hmph!" The girl punched the man lightly, struggled to get up from his arms, and pulled up the man who was still lying on the sofa. "Didn't you say that many people are submitting resumes to Ming Xin? Then expand the competition to include people outside the group. Wouldn't that help the group recruit talents in a targeted manner?"
Hei Huomian asked back after hearing this: "Are you sure you want me to do this?"
Bai Shuiru gently tugged at the man's tie again and pouted, "What's wrong? I'm very confident, or do you have no confidence in me?"
The man sat up without saying a word, kissed the corner of the girl's lips, and praised:
"My Shui Ru is the best! If you wish, I will certainly do it."
Hei Huomian called back Li You who was feasting in the cafeteria and arranged some work for him in front of Bai Shuiru:
"You can spread some news about the upcoming competition, and then make the official announcement next Monday morning."
"Are you satisfied now?" Hei Huomian stretched his cheek towards the little girl. After waiting for a long time without getting the reward he wanted, he saw her blushing as she quickly devoured the last food on the plate. He then glared at Li You.
Li You, who was implicated, stepped back hastily. In his panic, he tripped over his left foot and almost had to do a tap dance on the spot before he could get out of the office.
Hei Huo Mian later kept the little girl in the lounge for the whole afternoon, using many excuses such as giving Bai Shuiru suggestions on her entry and asking her to give suggestions on the competition's promotional posters.
Bai Shuiru was released by the chairman three minutes before work started and quickly returned to the chairman's office.
Based on the recent "vomiting and diarrhea" incident at the group headquarters and Liu Ruru's "rainy night butcher" incident, rumors spread throughout Mingxin that Bai Shuiru was protected by heaven, and anyone who hurt her would be punished by heaven, no matter who they were.
Although some people still scoffed at the authenticity of the "divine punishment", they were indeed wary of Hei Huomian's real power and his open love for Bai Shuiru. Moreover, when Bai Shuiru invited all the employees of the headquarters to have afternoon tea a few days later, everyone took the opportunity to apologize and show goodwill, but they still couldn't stop occasionally ridiculing them behind his back.
Bai Shuiru knew it very well, but he still kept his distance from the matter and focused on his work.
"Have you heard? The chairman asked to arrange a skills competition to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the group's establishment. All employees of the group can participate across departments."
"I just saw the draft plan from Secretary Zhang. The champion of a single event can be transferred across companies and departments."
"Haven't you always been jealous of that pancake guy in the PR department? This time, as long as you participate in the competition and win, you can be transferred to a nearby position!"
Bai Shuiru was typing away on the keyboard, but her ears were perked up to listen to the gossip of her colleagues at nearby workstations.
Huo Mian is so well behaved, he finally let out the wind!
Then it won’t count as cheating on my part, so hurry up and sketch it out!
The young girl rolled up the cuffs of her silk shirt with great enthusiasm, picked up the thermos and gulped down half a cup of green tea, quickly typed on the keyboard to finish her work, printed and organized it, stood up and handed it to her boss, and then, when no one was paying attention, she slacked off and drew her own design draft.
Before leaving get off work, Bai Shuiru received a call from Hei Huomian, who said that he had to go underground to deal with some matters and would be back later, so he asked her to eat and sleep on time and not to stay up late.
The girl ended the call with a tone that was three parts complaining, three parts reluctant, and four parts urging, then jumped up, packed her bag, and was ready to leave work.
Haha~! I can definitely work overtime this time!
Yao Yao, who was working at the workstation behind Bai Shuiru, heard it, tilted her head slightly, looked back at her working, and raised the corner of her lips in a calculating smile.
After Hei Huomian and Li Youli's soul left their bodies to summon Jiao Cheng, they returned to Ming Xin's office to continue reviewing the documents.
When passing and receiving the documents, Hei Huo Mian noticed that Li You was distracted by his worries, so he looked up at him and asked, "Do you have any questions?"
"My subordinates dare not."
While signing, Hei Huomian took a moment to look at his phone and replied to his secretary to set the time and place for the next negotiation meeting. "You are worried that I promised her that no matter whether the matter succeeds or not, the Jiao family will regain the hereditary position of "Hei Wuchang", and she will slack off and will not try her best to help me succeed."
Li You was worried after hearing what was said. He hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
Hei Huomian closed his eyes and shook his head gently, "You have never been in love, so you don't understand women's hearts."
Li You was stunned for a moment, then he made a bitter face and laughed it off, but in his heart he was looking at the tall figure who stood up and walked away, complaining:
You say that you understand women's hearts very well, but in fact, haven't you always been with Shui Ru?
Bai Shuiru worked on the design draft in the studio until after eleven o'clock. After eating the midnight snack brought by Uncle Nan, she licked the ketchup on her fingertips, leaned back in the chair, put her long legs on the workbench and stretched lazily.
Hmm~! Take a break, finish a little finishing work and then take a shower and go to bed.
By the way, why not take a look at where Hei Huomian is busy.
Bai Shuiru pursed her lips and chuckled, flicking her bow finger towards her right middle finger.
Sure enough, the ink line spread out gracefully like a drop of ink dropped into clear water, forming a beautiful trajectory and turning into a map of somewhere.
Bai Shuiru, who was leaning on a chair with her hands as a pillow, glanced down lazily, stood up in surprise, but suddenly fell on her back with a "ouch" as the chair fell to the ground.
Uncle Nan knocked on the door immediately. "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
"No, I'm fine." Bai Shuiru climbed up and responded:
"I just kicked over the chair by accident."
Bai Shuiru sat on the ground, looking at the map that was descending to the level of his eye and becoming increasingly detailed and enlarged.
etc!
Isn’t this the underworld?
Bai Shuiru rushed forward, grabbed the ink-line map, crumpled it into a ball, and pressed it on the middle finger of his right hand.
I'd better not watch it. If any signal reaches Mu Xian, I'll be completely finished! !
Before Hei Huo Mian finished the regular meeting in the group in the afternoon, Hei Huo Wan's class teacher urgently notified him to go to the kindergarten for a meeting. After leaving the kindergarten, he immediately rushed back to the underworld to attend the monthly meeting. It was already past three in the morning of the next day when he returned to Sucong Manor after reviewing the documents.
As soon as Hei Huomian got in the car, he sat back in the back seat completely relaxed, untied his tie, took off his sunglasses, closed his eyes and pinched his brows, just about to rest his mind, when suddenly Li Youbian teleported to the seat next to him.
"Emperor Ming, I think you would be interested in reading the latest news."
"Please pour me a glass of ice water." Hei Huomian kept his eyes closed, took the cup of water handed to him and drank two sips, then responded slowly:
"Qi Chu is moving forward with the operation so quickly?"
"Yes." Li Youyi turned on the in-car TV and slightly raised the volume to respond to his boss's question:
"…Many countries suspect that in order to reduce the economic cost of dealing with sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide, J country directly releases these three harmful gases into the atmosphere, which has caused great dissatisfaction and opposition among its own people. Strong condemnation from international public opinion in many countries has failed to change the minds of the J government and the leaders of the Dongluo Group."
"It will gradually seriously pollute the global air through atmospheric circulation. Twenty minutes ago, the head of the Dongluo Group was found dead on the rooftop due to poisoning. His skin and mucous membranes were cherry red, which is an obvious symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning..."
"…According to the end of our news report, the Dongluo Group has urgently stopped the emission of polluting gases. We will continue to follow up and report further…"
Hei Huomian's lips slightly turned upwards, "It's better to act quickly, to warn those things that wantonly pollute the earth without regard for future generations."
"Qi Chu is really quick! He persuaded the Three Realms Committee to vote so quickly, and has already implemented the punishment." Li You snorted, "It's obvious that he is trying to improve his performance before the election so that he can compete with you and run for election!"
"Isn't this obvious?" Hei Huomian sneered. "If I hadn't been evasive, or even used the excuse of being in love, how could I have allowed him to seize the opportunity? No, it was a loophole for him to elevate his own public opinion and become the dark horse candidate for the next Hades Emperor?"
Li You couldn't help but worry, "What do you want to do, Emperor Ming?"
Who wants Hei Huomian to put on his sunglasses again, "It's time to get off work, no need to talk about business."
Li You was slightly startled, turned his head and stared at his boss, forced his slightly open lips closed, then nodded silently and teleported away.
Hei Huomian finally relaxed completely and raised his hand to press a small treasure bag behind his pocket.
Fortunately, I collect Shu Ru's fallen hair every day, braid it into a braid and carry it with me to give her courage.
Hei Huomian took two sips of Taiping Houkui tea and rubbed his temples, trying to relieve his dizziness.
In half an hour at most, I could see the small brush.
The man looked at his watch.
At this time, she must have fallen asleep.
Hei Huomian couldn't help but curl his lips and smile, and he couldn't help but look at the middle finger of his right hand.
Why is it still so quiet?
Isn’t she worried about me? Isn’t she afraid that I will mess around outside?
Or does she not take me seriously at all? !
Hei Huomian clenched his fists in panic, causing wrinkles on his ironed trousers.
He quickly pointed with his left middle finger.
The ink line took a long time to stand up and stretch lazily. After understanding its owner's meaning, it rolled up its sleeves and took a horse stance. Suddenly, it turned into an ink firework and exploded. When it fell, it became the map of the underworld that Bai Shuiru had viewed before. However, as it was enlarged and detailed, it suddenly gathered into an ink line again, and quickly wrapped around Hei Huomian's fingers and disappeared without a trace.
Hei Huomian felt relieved when he saw this:
Although Xiaomaobiao only looked at half of my positioning map, it showed that she was nervous about me and wanted to know my whereabouts, and then she stopped positioning me because she trusted me. "
What a lovely and good brush!
"Lao He, drive faster." Hei Huomian ordered, and took out a ziplock plastic bag wrapped in a paper bag from the inside pocket of his suit. He opened it and sniffed the faint salty and sweet aroma of meat coming from it.
I actually found the beef noodle restaurant that Shuiru used to like the most.
In the past, water was like a pen, which could be smelled but not eaten; now that we are human, we can always enjoy the delicious taste of this geographical indication product!
As soon as Hei Huomian drove into the Sucong Manor, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong. Without waiting for the car to stop, he teleported back to the bedroom and immediately recognized three different breathing sounds coming from the direction of the bed.
How dare such a big dog climb onto my little brush's bed?!
The man raised his eyebrows and swung out a soul-binding rope to pull Bai Shuiru away from danger. The other two ropes attacked the two balls beside her and at her feet.
Almost at the same time, the two groups also rushed towards Heihuo Mian with a gust of wind, but were tied up tightly by Heihuo Mian with a soul-binding rope and teleported to the corridor.
Hei Huomian immediately ordered the other secret guards to surround Bai Shuiru. He frowned and glanced at the two captured people, and asked in a deep voice:
"When did you come back? Who let you two sleep here?!"
"Mianmian, why are you here? I thought you were a bad boy..." Hei Huowan had already seen clearly that it was his elder brother who broke into the bedroom. He smiled and stretched out his chubby arms to ask for a kiss, a hug and a lift up high. However, the man dodged her and gave her two glares.
When had Nuo Tuanzi ever been treated so coldly by his elder brother? He immediately pouted and complained:
"Mianmian, you are bad. You don't play with me, nor with sister-in-law Ruru."
Hei Huomian caught the point and asked:
"Who do you think I am? Do you think I am going to harm your sister-in-law?"
Nuotuanzi crossed his arms, turned his head away, and stood up for the injustice:
"You don't play with me, nor with Sister-in-law Ru Ru."
Youtiao, whose neck was grabbed by another soul-binding rope, also wagged his tail and whimpered:
“Woof, woof~!”
Hei Huo Mian didn't take it seriously. He raised his hand and tapped his younger brother and You Tiao on the forehead lovingly, and taught:
"Why didn't you tell Mianmian when you came back, and why did you run into your sister-in-law's room? Also, what was that floating thing you were talking about just now?"
Hei Huowan felt wronged, pouted, shook his hands, and kicked his legs to defend himself:
"Wanwan won't say anything. Mianmian is not lovable, and Mianmian doesn't love Wanwan anymore."
The little dog Youtiao also lowered his round black eyes and complained pitifully:
“Woof~! Woo…!”
Hei Huomian was both angry and amused. He teleported again with a little troublemaker in one hand.
As Hei Huomian loosened his hands at the same time, the two little troublemakers fell down with a "Ya/Woof~" sound, followed by a female scream:
"Ah~! Husband!"
Jing Youxi sat up from the bed, and after her husband Hei Zhanze turned on the bedside lamp, she saw who was coming, grabbed a pillow and threw it at her eldest son, cursing:
"You stupid kid! Why are you disturbing your parents' sleep?! Do you have any tutors?!"
"I have been raised by you since I was a child. Do you think I have good manners?" Hei Huomian turned his back and added:
"I know you are 'busy' and you must not have slept yet!" He deliberately emphasized the word "busy" and then teleported back to his bedroom.
Hei Huomian untied his tie, took off his suit jacket and threw them casually on the ground. He sat lightly on the edge of the bed and slowly lay on his side next to Bai Shuiru, who was sleeping in a "big" shape and snoring softly.
He lifted a strand of hair that was tangled between her lips with his long fingers, brought it to his lips and kissed it gently, claiming his sovereignty:
"My little brush can only be accompanied and protected by me."
Bai Shuiru turned over with a groan, and her hands and feet accurately passed through the pillows on the bed, placing them on the man's side and moving towards her.
Hei Huo Mianzhi was full of pride and embraced the warm and soft jade in the bed. He gently patted her back and coaxed her softly:
"Good boy, I am your only hug pillow. Meng Meng will give you a hug."
After taking a shower, Hei Huomian wiped his wet hair and came to the bedside, gazing at the little girl's sweet sleeping face.
He thought of what his younger brother had just mentioned to him, and he stroked the girl's long, thick, black hair with concern. He pulled her into his arms, pulled away his pillow from her arms, leaned over and kissed her forehead, and whispered:
"Good night, little brush. Mengmeng will stay by your side and help you drive away your nightmares."
The next day, Bai Shuiru's cell phone rang on time.
The little girl sat up immediately with a somersault, but just remained there in a daze, waiting for the restart.
Hei Huomian held the pillow with one hand and took her hand with the other, interlocking their fingers and rubbing them gently, "Are you awake? Can you sleep with me for a while longer?"
After five minutes, Bai Shuiru raised their hands and scratched her head in a daze. After scratching a few times, she felt something was wrong. Then she lowered her eyes to look at the long fingers on her left hand, "Well, Mianmian?"
Hei Huo Mian couldn't help it any longer, he sat up and hugged the girl in his arms, kissed her forehead, and smiled:
"Hey, Mianmian is here. Are you awake?"
Bai Shuiru covered her lips, yawned again, and nodded.
Hei Huomian saw that Bai Shuiru was fully awake, so he gently turned her to face him and asked seriously:
"Did you sleep well last night?"
Bai Shuiru yawned again and nodded, "Okay. By the way, when did Wanwan and Youtiao return to their rooms?"
Hearing this, Hei Huo Mian kept his composure and took a small piece of osmanthus chestnut cake and gave it to Ren Er, then asked slowly:
"Have you noticed recently that something is wrong with you when you are alone? Do you hear some noises or see some images?"
