CHAPTER IX WORK AT THE PARTY
"I'm sorry, I'll be missing for a while." Zhao Xin felt a slight vibration from the bag she was holding in her hand. She stepped back to the glass wall beside her, quietly glanced at the text message inside her phone, and a strange smile appeared on her face. Then she pressed the forwarding button and forwarded the message to four numbers.
Zhao Xin returned to the woman before, as if nothing had happened, and continued to talk and laugh with her, but didn't say anything, but just looked at her chin from time to time.
Li Mu looked at Zhao Xin and the woman talking and laughing from afar, but there was no such thing as he imagined that the woman's face changed drastically. After chatting happily for a while, the two of them went to talk to other friends separately.
Li Mu noticed a detail. After the woman and Zhao Xin separated, he chatted with a man for a while, and then joked with two other women. When these three people chatted with the woman, they paid attention to the woman's chin from time to time, and the woman's chin was where Li Mu saw the problem.
After chatting with the other two women, the woman seemed to have less smiles and was a little absent-minded. After they parted, they hurried towards the other woman.
After chatting with another woman for a while, the woman's face finally changed, and she didn't seem to be able to keep a smile like before.
After watching for a long time, Li Mu finally understood what Zhao Xin wanted to do. He secretly admired Zhao Xin's method in his heart that was really powerful.
"Yalan, we are good sisters. If you have anything you can't say to me directly?" Liu Jiayi said to Xu Yalan in a low voice.
"It's nothing." Xu Yalan's eyes dodged a little, and she seemed to be unable to help but glance at Liu Jiayi's chin.
"Yalan, we have been in love for more than ten years. If you don't say anything, you really won't treat me as a sister." Liu Jiayi was suspicious. After Aimei had an operation by that Korean doctor, she was quite confident in her chin and should not be seen by anyone. However, she was stared at her chin intently and unintentionally by several people, which made her heart suddenly become panicked. She wanted to find Xu Yalan, who was a good friend with her, and wanted to find out if her chin was really seen by someone.
"Oh, sisters, I'll just say it straight. Jiayi, your chin should go back and get it. This is a bit too obvious." Xu Yalan hesitated for a while before whispering in Liu Jiayi's ear.
"I thought it was something, but there was nothing wrong with my chin. You were too worried." Liu Jiayi smiled a little reluctantly.
But in the distance, Zhao Xin, who saw Liu Jiayi's expression now, showed a happy expression on her face, picked up the wine glass and slowly drank the remaining wine.
Li Wu sat in the banquet for a while and received a text message from Zhao Xin.
"Well done, go back first, there will be a reward tomorrow." Seeing the text message, Li Mu relaxed and slowly left the banquet hall on the top floor. He walked into the elevator amid the waiter's sweet and polite farewell.
After leaving the elevator, Li Mu let out a long sigh. That kind of banquet was indeed not his place, and he felt very depressed.
"Li Mu, why are you here?" Li Mu just walked out of the hotel gate, but heard a familiar voice coming from behind.
"Xiaoxiao, why are you here?" Li Mu turned around and saw Xiaoxiao and a man in a formal dress walking out of the hotel. He couldn't help but frown slightly and asked almost the same words.
"I'm here to attend my colleague's wedding, why are you here?" Xiaoxiao looked at Li Mu. Li Mu today seemed a little different from before, but she couldn't tell what was different.
"I'm here to work." Li Mu said truthfully.
"I heard that you left your previous company and the fire broke out again. I was a little worried. I didn't expect you to find a new job so soon, so I feel relieved." Xiaoxiao said softly. Seeing Li Mu's dress, she thought Li Mu was working as a waiter for the foreman in this hotel.
"Thank you." Li Mulan explained, and was unwilling to explain anything.
"Xiaoxiao, this is your friend, why don't you introduce it to me?" The man beside Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
"This is Li Mu, this is our colleague Zhao Chengbin." Xiaoxiao introduced to the two.
"Xinyue Media's account manager, please take care of any business in the future." Zhao Chengbin sent his business card, saying politely, but in fact it was a bit showing off.
In fact, Zhao Chengbin knew that Li Mu was Xiaoxiao's former boyfriend, and he had been pursuing Xiaoxiao. Today, he happened to meet Li Mu who had just lost his job and ran to a hotel to work. Naturally, he wanted to have a comparison so that Xiaoxiao could see who is an excellent man.
"Li Mu, there is no business card." Li Mu accepted Zhao Chengbin's business card and sighed in his heart.
"Li Mu, have you driven? If you don't drive, we will take you a ride." Zhao Chengbin said cheerfully, and before Li Mu answered, the person had already walked towards the parking lot.
Li Mu and Xiaoxiao stood face to face, not knowing what to say. After a while, Xiaoxiao spoke, "Are you okay now?"
"It's okay." Li Mu's heart felt a little tingling. The two people who used to say nothing can't even find a topic.
"Where do you live now?" Xiaoxiao asked again.
"Living in the staff dormitory." Li Mu answered truthfully.
"Why didn't you live with your girlfriend?" Xiaoxiao asked again in a low voice.
"Girlfriend?" Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately remembered the scene of Xiaoxiao who saw him and Tang Xien that day, so he naturally thought that Tang Xien was his girlfriend.
"I don't have a girlfriend, it was just a misunderstanding that day." Li Mu smiled bitterly.
"Time can really change a person. In the past, you would never lie. You would stammer if you tell a lie. Now you lie but don't even blush your face." Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sarcastic. If you were not your girlfriend in that situation, then there was only one possibility left, a woman who came out to be a woman. However, although Xiaoxiao only saw a back that day and did not see Tang Xien's front, it can be seen from her clothes that she did not look like that kind of woman.
Li Mu wanted to say something, but Zhao Chengbin had already driven the car over and opened the car door and said to the two of them: "Get in the car, it's a little cold outside."
"I'll just fight." Li Mu shook his head slightly.
"Okay, Xiaoxiao's friend is my friend. Since you meet me, why don't you leave you alone? Let's go together. There are people on the road that are not so bored to speak." Zhao Chengbin opened the rear door and strongly invited Li Mu to get in the car.
Li Mu hesitated for a moment and got in the car. He naturally could see that Zhao Chengbin had some thoughts about Xiaoxiao. He didn't know if Xiaoxiao was interested in being with him now. If not, he wouldn't feel at ease with Xiaoxiao who was alone in Zhao Chengbin's car.
Zhao Chengbin was very talkative, Li Mu could only listen aside, and he didn't want to say anything.
"Li Mu, where do you live?" Zhao Chengbin drove for a while before suddenly remembering that he had not asked Li Mu where he lived.
"Just put me down on Xiangyang Road." Li Mu said.
"It's a good place over there, the rent is not cheap, right?" Zhao Chengbin was a little surprised. Xiangyang Road was full of high-end communities, so why did Li Mu rent a house there?
"It's an employee dormitory." Li Mu replied casually.
"It is worthy of being a top hotel, and even the employee dormitories are in such a high-end place." Zhao Chengbin was relieved. It turned out to be an employee dormitories.
Li Mu did not refute, but felt it was a bit funny. Zhao Chengbin actually thought that the hotel staff dormitory would be in that kind of place and was also a talent.
The car had just been driving for a while, and there was a car in front of him that had a tire blown up and leaning against the side of the road. There was also a middle-aged man in his forties standing by the side of the road. Zhao Chengbin saw the man and drove over and stopped next to him.
"Mr. Lu, is the tire blown? Do you have any spare tires? I'll help you replace it?" Zhao Chengbin opened the door and got out of the car and asked.
"What are you doing with a spare tire? I won't change it even if I bring it. I originally planned to call a car to pick me up. You happen to be here, so I'll take me along the way." Mr. Lu smiled.
"There are two friends in the car. If Mr. Lu doesn't dislike him, just squeeze him." Zhao Chengbin was naturally very happy. Mr. Lu is one of the shareholders of Xinyue Media, so it is not easy to have this opportunity.
"Isn't this Xiao Xu from our company? Who is this young friend?" Mr. Lu got into the car and sat in the back row with Li Mu. Mr. Lu looked at Li Mu and spoke very politely.
"It's Xiaoxiao's friend. I happened to meet him, so I'll send him a ride." Zhao Chengbin said in front: "Mr. Lu, where are you going, I'll send you there first."
"No need, I'll send them to you first, I'm not in a hurry." Lu Tao reached out to Li Mu and smiled: "What do you call Lu Tao from Xinyue Media, my friend?"
"Li Mu, now I work with others." Li Mu reached out and shook Lu Tao.
"Young people, it's a good thing to exercise more. I was like you, who worked with others when I was young. Although I was working hard at that time, I lived a fulfilling life..." Lu Tao seemed to have a happy chat with Li Mu, which surprised Zhao Chengbin and Xiaoxiao in front.
They rarely see Lu Tao chatting with a young man so much, and it seems that Lu Tao is looking for topics to talk, and Li Mu is mostly listening.
"Mr. Lu, the space behind my car is a little uncomfortable. Why don't you switch to the front?" Zhao Chengbin drove for a while, feeling that he had no chance to talk to Lu Tao at all. After thinking for a while, he turned around and said with a smile to Lu Tao.
"No need, I'll just sit here and chat with Li Mu, and the road is not so boring." Lu Tao's answer made Zhao Chengbin a little depressed. He didn't know what a boss like Lu Tao had to talk about with a hotel worker.
