Conquest - Chapter 47

He Lingling waved a sign at Zhou Peng. Her black short-sleeved lace-trimmed shirt revealed her fair skin, which radiated youthful energy, while her black skinny capri jeans and black high-heeled sandals gave her a sexy, urban vibe. He Lingling jumped and danced excitedly, shouting without any regard for her image, "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 we have rehearsals today?"
"Ugh, so boring! It's all the same old stuff. I'm tired of practicing it for so many days, so I just found an excuse to come out." He Lingling's bright pink lips drooped as she said ingratiatingly, "You're not going to scold me for this, are you?"
"Let's go, my beautiful lady. If we keep talking like this, I'll get beaten up by all the men around us." Zhou Peng glanced at the men staring at him, then raised his fist at the people taking pictures with their phones. He stuffed 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 for a moment, then saw the driver winking at him in the rearview mirror and making strange, muffled laughs. Zhou Peng wished he could dig a hole under the car and crawl out. He Lingling, seeing Zhou Peng's embarrassed look and the driver's malicious smile, realized the ambiguity in her words. Her already slightly flushed face turned even redder, and she stammered, "...No, no...not a hotel, it's a guesthouse...not a guesthouse...I won't say anymore..." Then she hid her face behind her legs, her long, black hair, which had been tied up in a tuft, hanging down to cover her entire profile.
The driver laughed and turned to Zhou Peng, saying, "Dude, your girlfriend is really interesting and beautiful. You have good taste."
Zhou Peng chuckled and shook his head, brushing He Lingling's long hair aside with his hand. He teased, "Girlfriend, I'd like to go to the company first, and then we'll go to a hotel tonight. I wonder if you'll scold me for being insensitive?"
He Lingling muttered the address of Future Company, then reached out and slapped Zhou Peng, but didn't look up.
The taxi driver was quite skilled, driving at maximum speed even in areas without cameras. He Lingling also returned to normal and started chatting and laughing with Zhou Peng again, constantly telling him about the situation that had been going on recently. Zhou Peng also learned about some of the basic preparations for the model competition.
"The semi-finals start tonight. You should head back first, otherwise, knowing me as he does, President Song will definitely think I've taken you 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 bother you, did he?"
Upon hearing the first half of Zhou Peng's sentence, He Lingling initially 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, as 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 made her ineligible for a pure model position. 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, silently 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 hold on for me..." He Lingling turned her head to look out of the car, protecting the bottom edge of her phone and her mouth to prevent her voice from leaking out.
"Hmph, I was saying you went to Lantian to get the documents. Lawyer Luo asked President Song to pick them up 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 kind. I'll treat you to authentic Xinjiang roasted lamb skewers tonight."
"Don't disgust me. Who was it that told us not to eat this stuff made with rat meat a few days ago? It made me throw up several times. You heartless bastard."
"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'll go to Lantian Law Firm first to get some documents from Lawyer Luo. You wait for me in the car."
"Fine, I'll go with you. I want to go out for a smoke."
The taxi quickly arrived at the Jinchang Building, where the Blue Sky Law Firm was located. He Lingling carried Zhou Peng's backpack, while 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, feeling somewhat dazed. He Lingling tugged at Zhou Peng's sleeve and whispered, "Brother Peng, what's wrong? Let's go inside. Standing here feels really strange."
Zhou Peng looked somewhat depressed and pointed to the sign for the waiting room, saying, "I'll wait for you inside. You should go find that lawyer first."
He Lingling nodded in agreement, then looked back at the Blue Sky sign with a puzzled expression, wondering what was different 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 stay silent like this forever?"
"..."
"If you don't say anything, I'm hanging up." Zhou Peng didn't expect Zhuo Na to become more and more mischievous, so he decided to say a few lewd things to tease her.
"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, inwardly relieved that he hadn't said anything too offensive: "How did you get the phone?"
「哼哼哼，你那点小心思怎么能逃得过老娘的法眼，今天我就说要玩游戏把娜姐的手机给骗过来了，我可等得望眼欲穿了，原本以为猜错了，哎呀呀，你怎么就这么不争气呢，花花肠子这么多……」江勤喋喋不休的夸夸其谈，直把周鹏描述得是陈世美转世。
「咳，老娘老娘的，你一个疯婆子疯丫头，搞的自己像个女流氓似的。」
「老娘配老周，刚好合适，知足吧你，像你这种花丛飘过留下白茫茫一片的种马，有我这样清纯可爱的美少女来拯救你，是你十辈子做猪做狗积下的阴德。」
周鹏觉得自己的思维有点跟不上节奏，好容易才反应过来「白茫茫」指的是什么，对面的江勤已经噼里啪啦说了一大串了。
「……我告诉你啊，文章这种贱男人你他妈的别学他啊，别以后老娘我被你搞大肚子了你还在外面胡乱留情，哦，不对，是胡乱留精……」
「闭嘴。」周鹏看了看周围，还好待客室只有自己一个人，「再罗哩罗嗦，回去就把你给赶出去！」
「……老公啊，昨晚人家才把人生的第一次高潮献给你，你不能这么无情无义啊……」江勤的语调迅速变得嗲嗲地，娇滴滴地继续说着，「我晚上就觉得胸部涨涨的，原来真的有效果，我很鄙视那些自以为胸脯大就很自信的女人，但是自己能再变大两三个罩杯还是不错的，你说我有娜姐那个尺寸，你觉不觉得完美的我更加出色那么一点点呢……」
周鹏深呼吸一口：「那两团肉长在卓娜身上是完美的胸部，长在你的身上就是肉瘤，而且是马上要割掉的那种，你去死吧，死江勤……」
电话那边安静了一会儿，马上飙出高八度的尖叫声：「死老周，死周鹏，我日你奶奶，我诅咒你没屁眼，我诅咒你阳痿，你这个下三滥的混蛋！！！居然不先跟我打电话，反而先打给娜姐，我日你祖宗！！！」
周鹏不顾形象的哈哈大笑，笑得肚子都疼了。
「我一定要咬死你……我一定……娜，娜姐！……嘿嘿，周鹏的电话，找你的，我先走了……」
电话那边一阵嘈杂地声音，等了一下，卓娜那轻柔的声音就飘了过来。
「你和小勤说了什么，我大老远就看见她又是摔东西，又是蹦蹦跳跳地……」
周鹏一边笑着一边把事情说了。
「你们……真是太恶心了，居然拿人家的……那里来说事。」卓娜闹了个大红脸。
「哪里？」周鹏忍不住口花花。
「流氓……」
「好了，我打电话只是和你说一下，我到了。」周鹏收起笑声，很认真地说道，心中忽然有种解脱感，因为想到海琼而涌出的唏嘘心情被江勤一通胡侃给冲击得不复存在，而此时听到卓娜软软的细语，更是让心情放松下来。
「我又不是你什么人，跟我说个屁啊。」电话那头的卓娜惊觉自己词语里面的不雅词，吐了吐舌头。
「你呀，就不该把江勤招进公司里来，再让你们两个人待在一起，我真是担心你被她给带坏了。」
「咯咯咯，不和你说了，我看见江勤好像在偷听我们说话，我先挂了。」
「嗯，帮我看着点疯婆子，还有小杰。」
「小杰今天没来上班呢。」
「这个臭小子，我一走就旷工啊，真是不给我面子，好歹你来报个到再翘班啊，我打他电话。」周鹏摸摸额头，无奈地抱怨。
「有你这么说话的吗？」卓娜微微嗔道，「你别说他了，反正这段时间没什么忙得，你就别打了，他前几天就和我说过了，学校会有足球练习，我都批准他了。」
「你这个大嫂真是没话说。」周鹏笑了起来。
「你再胡说，我不理你了……你那边怎么这么安静？」
「我在律师事务所呢，来拿一份文件，在等律师。」
「哦……」
周鹏等了半天都不见卓娜开腔，知道卓娜不会主动挂电话，调笑了几句就把电话挂了。看看手机上面的时间居然已经过了半小时了，周鹏走出待客室，到了前台问道：「你好，请问一下，你们的……好像是罗律师，请问他的办公室怎么走？」
前台小姐抬手看了看腕表，微笑着回答：「不好意思，先生，罗律师正在开会，可能还要十分钟左右，需要为您换杯茶吗？或者您去罗律师办公室等她？」
「不用了，那么我随便看看可以吗？」
「没关系，请您自便。」前台小姐做了个请的手势。
周鹏颇为无聊的边走边看，暗叹着律师这个行业的竞争也是非常激烈，因为在事务所里面的人都是行色匆匆，不时还有几个人互相争辩着，周鹏哑然失笑，心想如果是海琼一定会喜欢这种氛围，她可是以巾帼英雄来自居的女汉子，只是太多的人被她柔弱美丽的外表给欺骗。周鹏离开那个大办公室，一转头忽然被一个办公室门牌上的名字给惊住了。
「苏浩」！他怎么会在这里！同名？还是世界太小？苏浩搂着海琼进入宾馆的画面仿佛烧红的铁手紧紧揪住了周鹏的心脏，周鹏呼吸困难，一手扶在走廊边的大柱子上，原来所谓的忘记只是自欺欺人的掩饰罢了，周鹏难受地捂着脸，同学会上遇见孙博，周鹏就感觉到自己没有彻底放开过去的种种，这次真正撞见让自己无法直视的「主角」，没想到是如此痛苦的情绪。周鹏匪夷所思地在这个时候想到了江勤，如果是江勤看见自己这种模样，她会怎么做，周鹏能够想像得到江勤一定随手拿起身边的东西就来砸自己的头，而如果是李老师在这里，她一定会紧紧搂着自己，不让自己倒下去，如果是卓娜呢？这个骨子里也是如此倔强的女子，她会怎么做，她会轻视自己这样纠结于过去情感的犹犹豫豫的男人吗？周鹏慢慢清醒过来，自己何德何能身边有这样无怨无悔的女人陪伴，如果再不能振作的去做事，就太辜负她们对自己的期许了。
周鹏走到苏浩的办公室前面，看着牌子上「苏浩」那粗体字，摇头笑笑，刚要离开，门忽然被打开。
苏浩那英俊的脸一下凝固了，眼镜后的眼睛明显睁大，很快就眯了起来，口气试探地问道：「周鹏？」
周鹏洒脱地笑着伸出手：「苏浩，好久不见。」
「好久不见，你来找……」苏浩收口没有继续说话。
「哦，不是，有个同事过来找罗律师拿文件，我在等她，所以随便转转，没想到居然在这里遇见你，咱们真是有缘啊，哈哈……」
「罗律师？」苏浩眼睛习惯性地朝走廊里面看了看，手上用力回握着周鹏，「哈哈，难得咱们同学在燕京还能见面，怎么样？进来喝杯茶再走？」
「不用了，我想我同事也该拿到资料了。」
「同事？男的女的？」苏浩说道，露出一个男人都懂的笑容。
「唉，我也想说是男的，不过还真是是女的，特漂亮那种，哈哈。」
「现在在哪里做事，我听以前同学说，你好像在东海的一家广告公司？怎么来燕京了，跳槽了吗？」
「还是在那里，不过会在燕京待一段时间，『未来』，刚刚起来的公司，我过来搭个架子，忙过前面几个月就得回东海。」
苏浩脸色一变，掩饰地咳嗽了几下：「唉，燕京的空气就是差，都咳了好几天了都没好。」
这时走廊内侧罗海琼的办公室门一下打开了，苏浩的心一下子被提到了嗓子眼，一个身材修长的黑衣女子一边回头说着话，一边走了出来，站在门口朝门内继续说着。
周鹏也注意到了何玲玲，距离有些远，无法很仔细地听清说什么，就没有过去打招呼。
「谢谢罗律师，你别送了，我看你还好多事情呢，我先走了，拜拜。」何玲玲双手推了一下门内的人，回头见周鹏正看着自己，夹着文件盒就跑了过来，站到周鹏面前，才看见半个身子在门口的苏浩。
「苏律师？」
「哈，玲玲，原来你和周鹏是同事啊。」苏浩见罗海琼的办公室门关上，心也彻底放了下来，「我送你们出去。」
三个人边走边说，很快弯过了过道。
"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 realized she had said the wrong thing. She often heard her colleagues gossiping at the company and knew that Zhou Peng was very sensitive about people asking him about his university days. She had vaguely heard that Zhou Peng had been expelled from university.
"Hey, that was a long time ago. Besides, I was just an expelled student. It's a painful memory. Don't talk about it." Zhou Peng said pitifully.
He Lingling was puzzled by Zhou Peng's nonchalant and self-deprecating attitude, which didn't seem angry at all. He Lingling looked closely into Zhou Peng's eyes and felt that something was different, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"By the way, Lingling," Su Hao's words interrupted He Lingling's thoughtful gaze, "We have a case that's a bit troublesome in our firm. Attorney Luo's work might need some adjustments. I'll be following up on things at 'Future' from now on."
"Hehe..." He Lingling said with a smile, "Will President Ding adjust Lawyer Luo's work?" During this training period, a large group of women would use their breaks to gossip about their respective companies' internal gossip. The most attention-grabbing story was about the future company boss pursuing a female lawyer, and He Lingling naturally knew about these things.
Su Hao smiled and said dismissively, "I really don't need to bother with people who like to mix up 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, then obediently linked arms with Zhou Peng without saying a word.
Zhou Peng struggled slightly, but seeing that he couldn't let go, he stopped moving, glared at He Lingling, and turned to Su Hao, saying, "I'm leaving. I'll be staying here for a few months anyway. I'll find you for tea sometime."
"Why are you drinking tea? You look 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 him on the 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 gave me a heart attack. I had to see off several clients. What about you?"
"Oh, I dropped a document I was giving to Lingling. I need to go after her and give it to her. Didn't you see her?"
"I see it. I'm going out right away. I'll take it to you."
"Aren't you afraid you'll fight with Zixuan again?"
Seeing Haiqiong's ambiguous smile, Su Hao chuckled and said, "I'm not a child anymore, give it to me."
Haiqiong handed the documents to Su Hao and walked back, saying to him, "Zixuan said that a manager-level person is reporting to his company today. I need to make time to go and see him. I'm afraid he'll dump all his work on others while he's out partying every night."
Su Hao was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "So you knew? Looks like I don't need to be a snitch."
Haiqiong sighed softly, "I often go there, and lots of bored women come to talk to me. Even if I close my ears, some of their chatter will still get in."
"A Dou is hopeless; don't act like his sister is in charge."
"I suggested he start the company, and I always felt a sense of responsibility."
"Don't carry these things on your mind. Whether Ding Zixuan's company does well or not, it has nothing to do with you," Su Hao said seriously as he stood at the door of Hai Qiong's office.
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.
