Chapter 47

He Lingling waved a sign at Zhou Peng. Her black short-sleeved lace-trimmed

shirt revealed her fair skin, radiating youthful energy, while her black skinny jeans and black high-heeled sandals

added a touch of urban sexiness. Excitedly, He Lingling jumped and shouted, "

Brother Peng, over here, over here..."

Zhou Peng walked up to He Lingling, looked her up and down, and said with displeasure, "Why did you come to pick me up?

Don't you have ?"

"Ugh, so boring! It's the same old routine. I'm tired of it after so many days of practice, so I found an excuse to run

away ." He Lingling's bright pink lips drooped slightly as she said ingratiatingly, "You're going to scold me even if it's like this."

"Let's go, my beautiful lady. If we keep talking like this here, I'll get beaten up by all the men around us."

Zhou Peng glanced at the men staring at them, then raised his fist at the people taking pictures with their phones.

He shoved his backpack into He Lingling's arms and led the way outside.

He Lingling chuckled, following behind Zhou Peng like an obedient child. The two exited the airport and got into

a taxi. He Lingling fanned her flushed face and asked, "Shall we go to the hotel first?"

Zhou Peng froze, then saw the driver winking at him in the rearview mirror and making a strange, muffled laugh.

Zhou Peng wished he could dig a hole under the car and crawl out. Seeing Zhou Peng's embarrassed expression and the driver's malicious

smile, He Lingling realized the ambiguity in her words. Her already slightly flushed face turned even

redder , and she stammered, "...No, no...not a hotel, a guesthouse...not a guesthouse

...I won't say anymore..." She then hid her face between her legs, her long, black hair, which had been tied in a bun, now hanging down to

completely obscure her profile.

The driver laughed heartily, turned to Zhou Peng, and said, "Dude, your girlfriend is really interesting and beautiful

. You have good taste."

Zhou Peng smiled and shook his head, brushing He Lingling's long hair aside, and teased, "Girlfriend, I want

to go to the company first, then we'll go to a hotel tonight. I wonder if you'll scold me for being insensitive?"

He Lingling mumbled the address of the future company, then slapped Zhou Peng lightly without

looking .

The taxi driver was quite skilled, driving at full speed even in areas without cameras. He Lingling returned to

normal and started chatting and laughing with Zhou Peng again, constantly telling him about the recent events. Zhou Peng also

learned about the basic preparations for the model competition.

"The semi-finals start tonight. You should go back first, otherwise, knowing

me, President Song will definitely think I tricked you into going to a hotel since you haven't come back for so long." Zhou Peng grinned mischievously, then lowered his voice and

asked , "President Song didn't harass you, did he?"

Hearing the first half of Zhou Peng's sentence, He Lingling wanted to hit him, but the second half

puzzled her. She asked in confusion, "President Song? He's very nice, but maybe it's because I'm not easy to get along with, and I always have a long

face, that he rarely talks to me. Xiao Ai is much better. I think the way President Song looks at her..."

He Lingling's voice trailed off at the end, after all, it was just a guess, and she couldn't just blurt it out.

Although this competition was called a model contest, it actually had little to do with modeling. It was just a promotional event held to promote several real estate projects under

the Spring Group. Therefore, there were no

strict requirements regarding the contestants' figures. For example, Tong Xiaoai was only 1.6 meters tall, which would

have . However, she had outstanding looks and a soft, sweet voice.

He Lingling could clearly feel President Song's ardent feelings for Tong Xiaoai. Several other

girls who made it to the semi-finals were also quite voluptuous. If she won first place, she could sign with the Spring Group and

become the face of the real estate projects, resulting in a significant leap in salary and public attention. However, He Lingling

didn't care about any of that. If it weren't for her contract with the advertising company, she would have withdrawn from the competition. Therefore

, she hadn't put much effort into the runway walks and fittings these past few days. Because she had no specific purpose in the competition, she

unexpectedly gained popularity among the other girls. Picking up Zhou Peng today was a fait accompli

.

He Lingling glanced furtively at Zhou Peng, who was chatting with the driver, secretly praying that the people at the practice area wouldn't notice

her disappearance. Her phone rang, startling her. She looked at the number and felt a

chill run down her spine: "Hello, Xiao Ai."

"You're doomed! President Song just asked me where you went!"

"Ah…you have to cover for me…" He Lingling turned to look out the window, protecting the bottom edge of the phone and her

mouth to prevent her voice from escaping.

"Hmph, I told you you went to Lantian to get the documents. Lawyer Luo sent President Song to get them yesterday, but I

guess he forgot. Go to Lantian and bring the documents over."

"Phew..." He Lingling breathed a sigh of relief and said with a grin, "Xiao Ai, you're so nice. I'll treat you

to authentic Xinjiang roasted lamb skewers tonight."

"Don't disgust me. Who told us not to eat this stuff made with rat meat the other day? It made me throw up

several times. You heartless person."

"Alright, alright, I'll go back and do whatever you say, okay? I'll hang up now." He Lingling hung up the phone and hurriedly

said to the driver, "Driver, please go to Jinchang Building first." Then she said to Zhou Peng, "I'm going to Lantian Law

Firm to get some documents from Lawyer Luo. You wait for me in the car."

"Never mind, I'll go with you. I want to go out for a smoke."

The taxi quickly arrived at Jinchang Building, where Lantian Law Firm was located. He Lingling carried Zhou Peng's backpack, and

Zhou Peng pulled his suitcase. The two took the elevator directly to the firm's floor. Standing in front of the firm's gleaming gold sign

, Zhou Peng stopped in his tracks, somewhat dazed. He Lingling tugged at his sleeve and whispered,

"Brother Peng, what's wrong? Let's go inside. Standing here feels really strange."

Zhou Peng, looking somewhat depressed, pointed to the sign for the waiting room and said, "I'll wait for you inside. You go find that

lawyer ."

He Lingling nodded in agreement, then glanced back at the blue sky sign, wondering

what was so unusual about it.

The pretty receptionist made tea for Zhou Peng and then left. Zhou Peng lit a cigarette but didn't smoke it.

The words "Beijing" and "lawyer," along with the name of the woman he dreamed of in the middle of the night, swirled in his mind. Zhou Peng suddenly longed to

see Hai Qiong, not a reunion like lovers separated for many years, but a chance for them to sit down and have a calm conversation

... But could they really have a calm conversation? In the past, Zhou Peng would have had so many questions to ask,

but now... it all seemed meaningless. Had Hai Qiong really fallen for someone else? Or was it just a series of misunderstandings? He had no

motivation to investigate. Even if they did sit down, what would they say? Zhou Peng smiled bitterly and stubbed out his cigarette. He remembered how

he had boasted that he would go to Beijing with Hai Qiong. So many years had passed; was she doing well? Although he avoided

paying attention to Hai Qiong's news, Zhou Peng still knew that she had gone abroad for further studies. Thinking of Hai Qiong

's hidden wildness, Zhou Peng couldn't help but laugh out loud. He took out his phone, found Zhuo Na's number, and dialed it.

The phone was answered after only a few seconds of ringing.

"..."

There was no response from the other end. Zhou Peng grinned and said, "Are you planning to just stay silent like this?"

"..."

"If you don't say anything, I'm hanging up." Zhou Peng hadn't expected Zhuo Na to become so mischievous, so he decided to

tease her with some suggestive remarks.

"Hahaha, Lao Zhou, are you going to hang up or say something vulgar to tease Sister Na?"

Jiang Qin burst out laughing without a care in the world.

Zhou Peng's face turned half green, and he was glad he hadn't said anything too outrageous: "How did you get the phone?"

"Hmph, how could your little tricks escape my sharp eyes? Today I tricked Sister Na into

giving me her phone by saying I was going to play games. I've been waiting anxiously for you. I thought I was wrong, but oh dear,

how could be so useless, with so many ulterior motives..." Jiang Qin chattered on and on,

describing Zhou Peng as the reincarnation of Chen Shimei (a notorious figure in Chinese folklore known for abandoning his wife).

"Ugh, you old hag, you crazy woman, acting like a female hooligan." "

I'm a perfect match for Old Zhou, be content! A womanizer like you, leaving a trail of white marks after flirting with women

, having a pure and lovely girl like me to save you is the good karma you accumulated in ten lifetimes."

Zhou Peng felt his thoughts were a bit out of sync, and it took him a while to realize what "a trail of white marks" meant

. Jiang Qin across from him had already rattled off a whole string of words.

"...Let me tell you, don't you dare follow in the footsteps of that scumbag Wen Zhang's foot! Don't let me

get pregnant by you and you still be out there having affairs, oh, no, I mean, leaving your semen everywhere..."

"Shut up." Zhou Peng looked around, thankfully he was alone in the guest room. "If you keep babbling,

I'll kick you out when we get back!"

"...Honey, I just gave you my first orgasm last night, you can't be so

heartless ..." Jiang Qin's tone quickly turned coquettish, and she continued sweetly, "I felt

my breasts were swollen last night, so it really works. I despise those women who think they're confident just because they have big breasts, but

it's not bad to be two or three cup sizes bigger. If I had Sister Na's size, don't you think

I'd be even more perfect?"

Zhou Peng took a deep breath: "Those two mounds of flesh would be perfect breasts on Zhuo Na, but on you

they're just tumors, the kind that need to be cut off right now. Go to hell, you damn Jiang Qin..."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then a high-pitched scream erupted: "You damned Zhou, you damned Zhou Peng, I

'll fuck your grandma, I curse you to be an anus, I curse you to be impotent, you lowlife bastard!!! You didn't even

call me first, but called Sister Na first, I'll fuck your ancestors!!!"

Zhou Peng laughed without regard for his image, laughing until his stomach hurt.

"I'll definitely bite you to death... I definitely... Na, Sister Na!... Hehe, Zhou Peng's calling, he's looking for you

, I'm leaving now..."

There was a lot of noise on the other end of the phone, and after a while, Zhuo Na's soft voice came through.

"What did you and Xiao Qin talk about? I saw her throwing things and jumping around from afar..."

Zhou Peng told him while laughing.

"You guys... are really disgusting, actually using someone's... area as a topic." Zhuo Na blushed

.

"Where?" Zhou Peng couldn't help but make a suggestive remark.

"You pervert..."

"Okay, I just called to let you know I've arrived." Zhou Peng stopped laughing and

said , suddenly feeling a sense of relief. The sigh that had welled up with thoughts of Hai Qiong had been completely

overwhelmed by Jiang Qin's rambling, and hearing Zhuo Na's soft voice made him feel even more relaxed.

"I'm not anyone to you, why are you telling me this?" Zhuo Na on the other end of the phone realized the vulgarity in her words

and stuck out her tongue.

"You shouldn't have hired Jiang Qin. I'm really

worried ."

"Hehe, I'm not talking to you anymore. I saw Jiang Qin eavesdropping on our conversation, I'm hanging up now."

"Okay, keep an eye on that crazy woman and Xiao Jie for me."

"Xiao Jie didn't come to work today."

"That brat! He skips work as soon as I leave! He really doesn't give me any face. At least come and report in before skipping work

! I'm calling him." Zhou Peng rubbed his forehead, complaining helplessly.

"How can you talk like that?" Zhuo Na said slightly, "Don't talk to him. Anyway,

I'm not , so don't call him. He told me a few days ago that the school will have soccer practice, and I approved

it."

"Your sister-in-law is really something else." Zhou Peng laughed.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'm ignoring you... Why is it so quiet on your end?"

"I'm at the law firm, picking up a document, waiting for my lawyer."

"Oh..."

Zhou Peng waited for a while without Zhuo Na saying anything, knowing she wouldn't hang up first, he joked a few times and then

hung up . Looking at his phone, he realized half an hour had passed. Zhou Peng left the waiting room and went to

the front desk, asking, "Hello, excuse me, your... I think it's Attorney Luo, could you tell me how to get to his office

?"

The receptionist glanced at her watch and smiled, replying, "Excuse me, sir, Attorney Luo is currently seeing..."

"Yes, it might take about ten minutes. Would you like a fresh cup of tea? Or would you like to wait for her in Attorney Luo's office?"

"No need, may I just look around?"

"No problem, please make yourself at home." The receptionist gestured for him to enter.

Zhou Peng strolled around, somewhat bored, secretly marveling at the fierce competition in the legal profession.

Everyone in the firm seemed to be rushing about, and occasionally a few people would argue amongst themselves. Zhou Peng chuckled to himself,

thinking that Hai Qiong would definitely enjoy this atmosphere. She was a self-proclaimed heroine, a strong woman, but

too many people were deceived by her delicate and beautiful appearance. As Zhou Peng left the large office, he turned around and was suddenly startled by a name on

an office door sign.

"Su Hao!" How could he be here! A coincidence of names? Or is the world just too small? The image of Su Hao leading Hai Qiong into the hotel

gripped Zhou Peng's heart like a red-hot iron hand. Zhou Peng struggled to breathe, one hand

on a large pillar in the corridor. He realized that his so-called forgetting was just self-deception. He covered his face in anguish. Meeting Sun Bo at

the class reunion had made him realize he hadn't truly let go of the past. Now, truly encountering

the "protagonist" he couldn't bear to look at brought him such agonizing emotions. Inexplicably, Zhou Peng thought of Jiang Qin at this

moment . If Jiang Qin saw him like this, what would she do? He could imagine

her grabbing whatever was nearby and smashing it over his head. If it were Teacher Li, she would

hold him tightly, preventing him from collapsing. And what about Zhuo Na? This

woman, so stubborn at heart, what would she do? Would she look down on a man like him, so hesitant and conflicted about past emotions?

Zhou Peng slowly came to his senses. What had he done to deserve such selfless women by his side? If he couldn't

pull himself together and get back to work, he would be letting them down.

Zhou Peng walked to Su Hao's office, looked at the bold "Su Hao" on the sign, shook his head and smiled. Just as he

was about to leave, the door suddenly opened.

Su Hao's handsome face froze instantly, his eyes behind his glasses widening noticeably before narrowing again

. He asked tentatively, "Zhou Peng?"

Zhou Peng smiled casually and extended his hand, "Su Hao, long time no see."

"Long time no see, you came to see..." Su Hao stopped talking.

"Oh, no, a colleague came to get some documents from Lawyer Luo. I was waiting for her, so I was just wandering around. I didn't

expect to run into you here. What a coincidence, haha..."

"Lawyer Luo?" Su Hao's eyes glanced habitually into the corridor, and he gripped Zhou Peng's hand tightly.

"Haha, it's rare for us classmates to meet in Yanjing. How about coming in for a cup of tea before you leave?"

"No need, I think my colleague should have received the documents by now."

"Colleague? Male or female?" Su Hao asked, revealing a knowing smile that every man understands.

"Sigh, I was going to say it was a man, but it really is a woman, a really pretty one, haha."

"Where are you working now? I heard from a former classmate that you were working at an advertising company in Donghai? Why

are you in Yanjing? Did you switch jobs?"

"Still there, but I'll be staying in Yanjing for a while. 'Future,' a newly established company. I'm

here to set up the framework. After the first few months, I have to go back to Donghai."

Su Hao's expression changed, and he coughed a few times to cover it up: "Sigh, the air in Yanjing is terrible. I've been coughing

for days and it's still not better."

At this moment, the door to Luo Haiqiong's office on the inside of the corridor suddenly opened. Su Hao's heart jumped into his throat

. A tall, slender woman in black walked out while turning around and talking, and continued talking into the room from the doorway

.

Zhou Peng also noticed He Lingling, but she was a bit far away and he couldn't hear what she was saying clearly, so he didn't

go over to greet her.

"Thank you, Attorney Luo. Don't bother seeing me out. I see you have a lot to do. I'll be going now, bye-bye."

He Lingling pushed the person inside the door away with both hands, turned around and saw Zhou Peng looking at her. She ran over with the file box in her hand

, and only when she stood in front of Zhou Peng did she notice Su Hao, half of his body in the doorway.

"Attorney Su?"

"Ha, Lingling, so you and Zhou Peng are colleagues." Su Hao saw that Luo Haiqiong's office door was closed,

and he was completely relieved. "I'll see you out."

The three of them walked and talked, and soon turned the corner of the corridor.

"So Attorney Su and Brother Peng are alumni? What university did you graduate from?" He Lingling

asked with interest, but as soon as the words left her mouth, she knew that she had said the wrong thing. Because she often heard her colleagues gossiping at the company,

she knew that Zhou Peng was very sensitive about people asking about his college days. She vaguely heard that Zhou Peng had been expelled from university.

"Hey, that was a long time ago. Besides, I was an expelled student. It's just a sad story

. Don't talk about it." Zhou Peng pretended to be pitiful.

He Lingling was puzzled by Zhou Peng's nonchalant, self-deprecating attitude, which didn't seem angry at all. She

looked closely into his eyes, sensing something different, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"By the way, Lingling," Su Hao's words interrupted her thoughtful gaze, "We have a

case that Attorney Luo's work might need some adjustments. I'll be following up on things at 'Future' from now on."

"Hehe..." He Lingling chuckled. "President Ding is going to adjust Attorney Luo's work?" During this

training period, the group of women used every break time to gossip about their respective companies' internal gossip.

The story of the future company's CEO pursuing a female lawyer was the most talked-about, and He Lingling naturally knew about it.

Su Hao smiled dismissively, saying, "I really don't need to

bother with people who like to mix work and personal matters. You shouldn't say anything either, lest he take it out on you later."

"Thanks, we're leaving now." He Lingling waved her fair hand, clinging to Zhou Peng's arm and remaining

silent .

Zhou Peng struggled slightly, but seeing he couldn't let go, he stopped moving, glared at He Lingling, and turned to Su Hao,

saying, "I'm leaving. I'll be here for a few months anyway. I'll find you for tea sometime."

"What tea? You're acting like an old man. Next time I'll take you to a bar. The bar culture in Yanjing

is pretty good."

Zhou Peng waved and entered the elevator with He Lingling.

Su Hao stroked his chin, pondering how to get Hai Qiong away from Yanjing, when suddenly someone patted his shoulder.

Luo Haiqiong looked at Su Hao, whose face had turned pale with fright, and found it somewhat amusing: "What are you thinking about? You look like you've seen a

ghost, staring blankly at the elevator door."

Su Hao patted his chest: "You really scared me to death. I have a few clients to see off. What about you?"

"Oh, I dropped a document for Lingling earlier. I have to go downstairs to give it to her. Didn't you see her?"

"Yes, I saw her. I'm going out right away. I'll get it for you."

"Aren't you afraid you'll fight with Zixuan again?"

Looking at Haiqiong's ambiguous smile, Su Hao chuckled, "I'm not a child. Here, take it."

Haiqiong handed the documents to Su Hao and walked back, saying to him, "Zixuan said a manager-level person is

reporting to his company today. I need to make time to go and see. I'm afraid he'll dump all his work on others while he

's partying every night."

Su Hao was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "So you knew? Looks like I don't need to be a snitch."

Haiqiong sighed softly, "I go there often. Lots of bored women come to talk to me. Even if I close

my ears some of it will still get in."

"A son of a bitch can't be helped. Don't act like his sister."

"I suggested he start the company, so I feel some responsibility."

"Don't carry these burdens on your shoulders. Whether Ding Zixuan's company does well or not, it's none of your business." Su

Hao stood at the door of Haiqiong's office and said to her seriously.

Haiqiong smiled, didn't reply, gestured with her chin towards the documents in Su Hao's hand, and went into

her office . Su Hao closed the door for Haiqiong, mentally organized what he wanted to say, and then

walked towards Attorney Huang's office at the end of the corridor.
