Chapter 7 Chapter VII Evasion Policy

What happened later that night, Zhang Ai didn't know at all, and didn't want to know.All she knew was that Xu Xinran rushed back just after she got home and asked, "Why didn't you notify me when you came back?" Zhang Ai looked at Weibo on the bed, and said lightly: "I didn't see you, why, why are you coming back in such a hurry?" Xu Xinran asked carefully, "Honey, what's the matter with you?" Zhang Ai said calmly: "I forgot to tell you, I'm going to Europe to hold an industry conference tomorrow, and I'll take a look at the child by the way, how are you, do you want to go together?"

"Why haven't I heard that you have this arrangement?" Xu Xinran looked surprised. Zhang Ai looked at the iPad and said quietly, "Sorry, I forgot to mention it." In fact, on the way back just now, Zhang Ai really wanted to call Zeng Xiangliang and tell him that he wanted to have sex with him.However, she was unable to make the call.First of all, she didn't know what Zeng Xiangliang was busy with now; secondly, she also doubted whether she would have the courage to say this to Zeng Xiangliang. Zhang Ai is like this, he will think wildly when he is angry, but he will never act.More often than not, she even blamed herself for her absurd ideas.

This time, she was really pissed off by Xu Xinran.So, on the way home, she had made a decision.First, to go out and see Tengda's sales network in Europe; second, to see the children; third, to teach Xu Xinran a lesson. Xu Xinran probably knew why Zhang Ai was so indifferent to him, so he went to the bathroom to wash up hastily, and climbed onto the bed with a shy face.Zhang Ai didn't give him a good face, got up and got out of bed, went to sleep in another room, completely ignoring Xu Xinran.Xu Xinran wanted to talk to Zhang Ai at first, but seeing her expression, he stood at the door of the room for a while, then silently went back to the master room.

Seeing Xu Xinran's pitiful appearance, Zhang Ai softened his heart for a moment, and really wanted to call him back to give him a lesson, and then make up.However, Zhang Ai's stomach swells when he thinks that he and the actress have disappeared for so long without knowing what bad things they did.It seems that a Shanxi native who sells vinegar smashed his warehouse in his stomach.So she said nothing. Because it was a temporary decision, she began to use the iPad to enter Tengda's office system and arrange the main work for a period of time in the future.Tengda's management system is very complete, even if Zhang Ai is abroad, it will not affect the domestic work.However, she still has some major work scheduled.

Zeng Rou asked her on MSN which airline to book.Zhang Ai replied, as long as it is not a domestic airline, he added that he must book first class. Zeng Rou immediately made a surprised expression. Every time Zhang Ai goes abroad, he usually takes the economy class, and only occasionally books the business class. What's the matter today? Zhang Ai really wanted to tell Zeng Rou that women should treat themselves well, and don't save themselves every day and then make other women cheaper.However, after thinking about it, she still didn't say anything, just said, you just do it. However, when Zeng Rou told her that she had already booked a flight ticket from Hong Kong to London via Singapore, she still couldn't help asking why?Zeng Rou told her that there are two advantages to booking this way: first, the non-stop flight takes about 14 hours, and people are relatively tired, and being able to make a short transit in Singapore can make people relax; second, the most important thing is to travel from Singapore to This part of London is the Airbus A380, the largest aircraft in the world at present, it is very good to experience it.The most important thing is that the A380 has luxury suites, which are higher than first class.

Zhang Ai was also very satisfied after hearing Zeng Rou's explanation. Zeng Rou is such a good secretary, and you are impeccable in everything you consider.Zhang Ai flew directly to Heathrow in Hong Kong before, and he was a little tired.She just complained to Zeng Rou casually, but unexpectedly, she remembered it.If Zeng Xiangliang was still his secretary, would he be so careful?Obviously not.Alas, why did you think of going to Zeng Xiangliang's place again? Zhang Ai couldn't help shaking his head, said something casually to Zeng Rou, and then turned off the iPad.However, lying on the bed, Zhang Ai couldn't sleep at all, his mind was like a flash flood, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and roaring water.

During a brief transit in Singapore, Zhang Ai suddenly received a call from Ding Siyan, and she asked, "Why did I suddenly hear that you went abroad? Why didn't I hear from you last night?" Zhang Ai replied: "I wanted to tell you, but you have been very busy, so I didn't have time." Ding Siyan paused for a while, and asked, "Did you have any thoughts about me because of the matter between Xi Huanzhang and Li Jiawei?" Zhang Ai beat her waist because she didn't sleep well last night. She was sleeping on the Boeing 777 from Hong Kong to Singapore just now. Maybe it was because she slept for a long time and her waist was a little sore. She replied: "Why? If I treat you If you have an idea, I won’t tell you those words, I think, it must be Xi Huanzhang’s own idea.”

Ding Siyan's voice was a little hoarse, it seemed that she didn't have a good rest last night, she said: "I'll explain some things to you when you come back, I know what the hell they are doing, I just pretend I don't know, just want to see Let's see what tricks they can come up with. Li Jiawei thinks she is smart, I think she will smash her own foot." "By the way, Governor Liu and the others left?" Zhang Ai asked. Ding Siyan replied: "Let's go, at noon." Zhang Ai hesitated for a moment and asked, "How did you arrange last night?"

Ding Siyan snorted: "How else can we arrange it? Cai Yao will accompany him and arrange a double flight for that surnamed Ju. Don't mention it, he always chats with Wu Yinru, Cai Yao almost left, and then I After a good persuasion with Director Lin, Cai Yao was allowed to stay. By the way, the last two expenses of Cai Yao have to be charged from you, is it okay?" "No problem, I'll ask the chief financial officer to arrange it. When will it be used?" Zhang Ai replied. "Tomorrow." Ding Siyan said.However, she suddenly sighed: "However, I'm going to fight Wu Yinru head-to-head."

"What's going on?" Zhang Ai asked. "Oh, it's hard to say. It's not convenient for me to speak now. Let's talk later when you arrive in London." Although separated by the phone, Zhang Ai still heard that Ding Siyan was very helpless. Yes, what can Ding Siyan do now?She has done a lot for Liu Lijun. Liu Lijun has many important projects in his hands. If others want to get these projects, they must find Ding Siyan and do Ding Siyan's work.The consulting fee that Ding Siyan can get every year on this issue is astronomical, so she cannot do without Liu Lijun, and Liu Lijun also cannot do without her.A person like Liu Lijun would not personally collect other people's money, nor would he directly express his opinion to the face, let alone ask his driver or secretary to do so, he would not be that stupid.

Liu Lijun needs a firewall like Ding Siyan. Once there is a problem, he can push everything to Ding Siyan, saying that everything is Ding Siyan's personal behavior, so as to protect himself to the maximum extent. There is such an unspeakable relationship between Ding Siyan and Liu Lijun.Zhang Ai has never believed that Liu Lijun will really sleep with Ding Siyan, and Ding Siyan has never admitted that she has that kind of relationship with Liu Lijun, otherwise, she would not have arranged Cai Yao and Zhou Li and the crew of "Jinling Fengyue" The actress has such a relationship with Liu Lijun.However, their relationship is so special, Ding Siyan will be jealous, and jealous; if the two of them don't have that kind of relationship, why is she so jealous?Especially when facing Wu Yinru. After calling the Chief Financial Officer, Zhang Ai checked that he still had time, so he called Mao Yinghua. Mao Yinghua said that he was fishing with Zheng Yiqun.Zhang Ai understood what he was doing, so he told him his London phone number, and went through the formalities with the person sent by the club.The club attaches great importance to the travel of members. In addition to arranging air tickets, it also has special services for members' itineraries in various places.So, when Zhang Ai and Zeng Rou sat in the first-class lounge of Singapore Airlines at Changi Airport after all the transit procedures were completed, Zeng Rou couldn't help sighing: " It seems that the membership fee paid to the club every year is worth the money.” Zhang Ai nodded: "Of course. The most important task of the club is not only to ensure that the guests enjoy top-notch services, but also to maintain top-notch confidentiality. Whether it's the party last night or our trip today, have you noticed that Is there a paparazzi figure?" "For example, Wang Guangyu of Kangmei Electric was originally a shareholder member. Will he be eligible to rejoin the club after he is released from prison?" Zeng Rou asked. Zhang Ai shook his head: "It's absolutely impossible. After his accident, the club's disciplinary committee has canceled his membership, and the management committee has also transferred his shares. You know, those who want to join the club now have to queue up for five years In the future, and there is no misdemeanor, a person with a criminal record like him will no longer be eligible to enter this club." Zeng Rou sighed, "What a pity." Zhang Ai said: "We are in the UK, no matter what the request is, as long as it is within a reasonable range, the club will do it." Zeng Rou smiled and said, "Then I want to have dinner with the Queen of England, can I?" Zhang Ai smiled "hehe": "The queen probably can't do it, but if you ask members of the royal family with lower status to have dinner with you, they can arrange it." Finally boarded the plane and entered the first class cabin, Zhang Ai and Zeng Rou couldn't help but looked at each other in surprise. The A380 is a two-story aircraft, the first class cabin is on the first floor, and there are twelve rooms in total.The flight attendants enthusiastically introduced the procedures for using various equipment and delivered evening supplies, including pajamas, a set of brand-name skin care products, slippers, quilts, etc.There is everything to eat and drink. Zhang Ai was very interested in the Singapore Airlines flight attendant's blue-and-floral clothes, full of Malaysian style. Zeng Rou smiled and said, "Why, do you want to buy one?" Zhang Ai said: "We have to stop in Singapore on the way back, I will definitely take a good look around." Zhang Ai was impressed by the thick bulkhead of the A380.Looking out through the window and seeing a British Airways Boeing 747 next to it, I immediately had a feeling: the 747 is actually not that big. Before the plane took off, the flight attendant took Zhang Ai and Zeng Rou to the stairs on the second floor, where there was a small bar that provided various famous wines, appetizers and snacks.Zhang Ai looked at the round sofa and said to Zeng Rou: "Maybe you will have an affair here after a while." Who knows, the flight attendant said solemnly: "Although the two seats in the middle of the first-class cabin of Singapore Airlines' Airbus A380 can be turned into a double bed, passengers cannot enjoy the joy of clouds and rain in the air. Passengers on the plane follow the rules not to do things that offend other passengers and crew. This rule applies to first-class passengers." Zhang Ai wanted to laugh, but he didn't know why he couldn't.She looked at Zeng Rou, and Zeng Rou suppressed her smile. Zhang Ai asked Zeng Rou in a low voice: "Shall we change the bed to a big bed?" Zeng Rou said sarcastically: "You have the potential to be lesbian, but I'm not in the mood to break my back." Zhang Ai said: "The female secretary usually provides sexual services to the boss." Zeng Rou said harshly: "I think, after you arrive in London, you should ask the club to arrange a handsome British nobleman for you." The flight attendant came to close the door after takeoff.Because Zhang Ai slept on the plane when he came here, he didn't feel sleepy.So, she stood up, went out and opened the door of Zeng Rou's room. Zeng Rou was watching a movie when she saw Zhang Ai standing at the door, pointed to the monitor and said, "Didn't you watch the movie? The new 'Silver Blade World' entertainment system on the A380 has hundreds of wonderful movies for you to choose from. Fast forward or reverse." Zhang Ai said: "Let's go to the bar after eating." Zeng Rou nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that you really want to have an affair." Zhang Ai returned to his suite, only to see that there were two windows inside, which was the best cabin in the cabin.There is no one else next to the seat, and the stairs on the left are sealed off. After closing the door, no one should be able to see yourself from the outside. It is really a perfect self-space.Moreover, there is a small seat inside, where you can invite another guest to have a meal together.The flight attendant came over and asked Zhang Ai when he would like to start dinner.Zhang Ai thought for a while, and told him to invite Zeng Rou over. The flight attendant spread the tablecloth on the table, and the two of them began to eat.Singapore Airlines' red wine and champagne are free to drink, so the two ordered red wine and chatted while eating.The appetizer is a skewer called satay. Although the taste is not as good as that of the club, it is quite good. "Tell me honestly, why do you suddenly want to go to England?" Zeng Rou asked suddenly. From last night to now, plus this journey, Zeng Rou has never asked Zhang Ai this question, and now she asks, maybe she feels that Zhang Ai is in a better mood.After Zhang Ai drank the red wine, he told Zeng Rou the exact reason why he came to England. Zeng Rou frowned and listened, and finally, she asked in puzzlement: "Mr. Xu can't pick girls in front of you, can he? I think there should be something wrong with him, why don't you have a good talk with him?" Zhang Ai was very surprised, and asked back: "You think he has something to do? But why did he touch that girl's face?" Zeng Rou drank her red wine and shook her head: "I didn't see this scene, so I don't know what's going on. However, you may be dizzy and have some misunderstandings." Zhang Ai sneered: "Didn't you accept Xu Xinran's benefits?" Zeng Rou was not polite: "I think you are making trouble for nothing. Based on what I know about Mr. Xu, he is a bit flirtatious, but he will never be flirtatious in front of you. If that is the case, he is not Mr. Xu. Let me ask you , When did Mr. Xu not give you enough face in public, and not quietly hide behind you, letting you enjoy the flashlight, while he hides himself?" When Zeng Rou said this, his eyes were full of contempt. Zhang Ai was a little dazed, she didn't expect Zeng Rou to see things in this way.She asked Zeng Rou expectantly: "Then why didn't he explain it to me?" Zeng Rou sneered and said, "Don't even think about it, I know you didn't give him a chance. He doesn't know why you are angry, how can he explain it to you?" Zhang Ai was a little unconfident, frowning, as if talking to himself: "Could it be like this?" The flight attendant brought dessert, and Zeng Rou looked at the exquisite plate: "I can't eat anymore. How about it, let's have a toast and punish yourself here to reflect on yourself. I'm going to watch a movie." As she said that, she asked the flight attendant to fill the glasses for the two of them, and then drank it all in one gulp. Zhang Ai thought about it and drank the cup too. Then, she got up and went to the bathroom, and when she came back, the flight attendant had cleared the dining table. Maybe because of being trained by Zeng Rou just now, Zhang Ai's mood improved unexpectedly.Zeng Rou is such a secretary. She is not always obedient to the boss, and sometimes quarrels with herself, and every time such a quarrel, there is a feeling that makes Zhang Ai know herself again or figure out something. role. At this time, she suddenly wanted to make a call to Xu Xinran, but Singapore Airlines, which has been saying that it will provide telephone service and Internet service on the plane, is still in progress, and currently this flight does not have such services. Looking out of the window, it was dark and she couldn't see anything, so she closed the curtain of the private room, found an American blockbuster, and watched it with relish. At Heathrow Airport, Zhang Ai met Xu Qi, his child who was studying in Cambridge. He was tall and tall, with a height of 1.9 meters. Feel.However, Xu Qi was not very close to Zhang Ai when he saw Zhang Ai. He gave Zhang Ai a gentle hug and asked, "Is my mother Zhang healthy?" It was Mrs. Zhang, who had been taking care of her son when she first arrived in Pengcheng. At that time, Zhang Ai was also busy, and Xu Xinran didn't care much about the children. Therefore, Xu Qi and Mrs. Zhang were very close to Zhang Ai. polite. As for him and Xu Xinran, they were like strangers.It is said that it is generally difficult to establish a good relationship between father and son. However, Zhang Ai has not figured out why Xu Qi and Xu Xinran have made the relationship so rigid. Cao Ying - said nothing.Zhang Ai also asked Xu Xinran where he offended Xu Qi, but Xu Xinran couldn't tell. Sometimes, Zhang Ai thinks, although he is not very successful in the business world, but it can be considered passable, why is he such a failure in educating children? Accompanying Xu Qi to pick up Zhang Ai was Luo Xiaodan, head of Tengda's European and Western Europe sales area, a girl who showed two canine teeth when she spoke.She drove by herself today, and seeing that Zhang Ai and Zeng Rou only brought a small amount of luggage, she asked, "Why do you carry so little luggage?" Zhang Ai replied indifferently: "These are just a change of clothes for the past two days in London. In two days, Secretary Zeng and I will take the train to Paris. When we get there, we will buy a few more." Zhang Ai looked at Xu Qi in the passenger seat and asked, "Are you going to live with me today?" Xu Qi shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can only accompany you to have dinner, and then I have to rush back to Oxford, I have an important class tomorrow." When Xu Qi said this, Zhang Ai couldn't say anything more, but she felt that Xu Qi might be alienating her intentionally. Luo Xiaodan drove the car straight to a place not far from the Dorchester Hotel, where Tengda bought a house as a residence for some of Tengda's sales staff in Western Europe.The office building is arranged in the Mayfair area.The narrow street, watching the old houses pass by one by one, Zhang Ai can't imagine that this is the so-called rich area.Compared with the so-called wealthy areas in China, it even looks a bit shabby at first glance.However, if you take a closer look at the buildings on both sides of the street, you will fully feel their ancient solidity, elegance and cleanliness. When Zhang Ai came to London to buy a house before, Luo Xiaodan told her that in London, the distinction between rich and poor areas is mainly based on the houses on both sides of the local street. The rich live in detached villas, while the poor live in densely populated areas. Townhouse.In fact, it mainly depends on the people. The streets are full of Indians and blacks. Such areas are usually dirty.Of course, there is no absolute security. There are also thefts and robberies in wealthy areas. It’s just that you live cleaner, have friendly neighbors, good community services, and fewer people waiting in line for medical treatment. Looking at the street scene, Zeng Rou sighed: "It was said that housing prices in London are the highest in the world, but now it seems that housing prices in many cities in China are catching up with London." Zhang Ai asked Xu Qi: "How is the housing price in Oxford Town now?" Ten thousand pounds bought a townhouse in Oxford Town for Xu Qi to live in.After Xu Qi entered school, he sub-let the house to several other students, and he also earned a good monthly income. In his words, the tuition and living expenses were enough. Xu Qi listened to Zhang Ai's question and didn't look back: "It's okay, it's about the same as before. However, many houses have been bought by the Chinese, and now Chinese people buy houses like buying cabbage." After thinking about it, he said : "By the way, Mom. I was on the road just now, and I heard from Sister Luo that she was going to fly to Italy tomorrow, and there is no one here in the office. You and Aunt Zeng can go around the UK and go to Scotland, where the scenery is good .” Zhang Ai replied: "It can be considered." Luo Xiaodan turned the car into a villa, which was a detached villa, ancient and elegant. When I bought it, the real estate agent said that this house was the residence of a shipping company owner in the 19th century.Today, the British economy is in decline, and the shipping company no longer exists, and the descendants of the boss have to sell the house. This detached villa in Zhangai has a 24-hour concierge service, an indoor swimming pool, an independent gym and a home theater. According to Luo Xiaodan, there is no need to lock the door at all.The villa has eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms.The master bedroom also has two attached dressing rooms and ensuite bathroom facilities.The home theater takes up most of the second floor, which houses an additional bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchenette. Xu Xinran was very unhappy when he wanted to buy this villa, thinking it was too expensive.However, Zhang Ai made an account for him. Tengda has two offices in Europe, one in the UK and the other in Germany.The United Kingdom is more important, and there are more people coming and going. After a year, the cost of some receptions is very high. If it is a hotel in London, the cost of the year is also staggering.Bought this villa, it looks like it cost a lot, but it actually saves more. Tengda's reception is often not just for business reception, but more for domestic officials and their families who come to the UK for tourism.Luo Xiaodan told Zhang Ai that just two days ago, a mayor from the north came here with his wife and children.Luo Xiaodan told Zhang Ai that the mayor's wife bought a few clothes and jewelry casually, and there were more than 800,000 pounds at the checkout.Zhang Ai kept shaking his head and sighed, these officials are too rich.The so-called rich people like Zhang Ai and Ding Siyan are absolutely reluctant to spend money like this. Luo Xiaodan arranged for Zhang Ai to live in the master bedroom, and Zeng Rou lived next door to her.This master bedroom is understated but regal.The big bed was used by the owner of the shipping company back then. The wooden floor was covered with a Persian carpet, with simple and elegant patterns and exquisite workmanship. It is said that it took ten master weavers two years to make it.The furniture is all products of the nineteenth century, simple and exquisite.There is a balcony in the room. Standing on the balcony and looking forward, the greenery is green, and you can vaguely see the neighbor's villa. Luo Xiaodan told Zhang Ai that it was just bought by a Russian rich man, and it turned out to be the residence of a jazz. Zhang Ai took a shower, then went downstairs, saw Xu Qi talking on the phone with someone, saw her come down, and said in a low voice: "Okay, I'm hanging up." Zhang Ai asked casually, "Who are you calling?" Xu Qi replied lazily: "Mr. Zhang, this is the UK, you should learn to respect personal privacy." Zhang Ai was so choked by him that he didn't recover for a long time, and wanted to scold him a few words, but he was afraid of making him anxious, so he turned back to Oxford without even having dinner. She sat down, just as Luo Xiaodan also came from the next room, holding a few faxes in his hand, explaining something to her British assistant in a low voice. The blond Welsh woman nodded and stepped aside.Zhang Ai asked: "What shall we have for dinner?" Luo Xiaodan looked at Xu Qi and asked, "What do you want to eat?" Xu Qi still looked lazy: "As long as it's not British food and Chinese food other than Chinatown, anything is fine." Zhang Ai was very strange and asked Xu Qi, "What do you mean?" Xu Qi said in a contemptuous tone: "British food is fried fish and chips, but even their copycat version, American fried chicken and French fries, know to put more than a dozen spices in them, this British guy is too stupid , don’t put anything, even if you eat steak, you fry the steak and put the seasoning on the table. As for the Chinese food outside Chinatown, it’s called Western-style Chinese food, and every fried diced meat is wrapped in flour and deep-fried.” Zhang Ai smiled: "You are purely resistant to British food, they call it authentic." Xu Qi quickly raised his hand: "I declare that you can eat French, Spanish, Mexican or even Italian food, but I don't eat British food. If you want to eat British food, I will go back to Oxford." Zhang Ai snorted and asked, "Are you threatening?" Xu Qi looked cynical: "Mr. Zhang, the British all advocate freedom. You'd better not bring the domestic style here. I have the right not to attend your dinner. If you choose dishes that I don't like if." Xu Qi's words made Zhang Ai so angry that she really wanted to scold him, but then she thought, don't quarrel with her son as soon as she comes, it's better to communicate slowly.It's just that she is a little worried now. Could it be that her son's state is not enough emotional intelligence and lacks the ability to communicate with other people? "Well, tell me, what kind of food do you want to eat?" Zhang Ai looked at Xu Qi with a half-smile. Xu Qi squeezed his mouth and nose together, and made a "tsk" sound: "If you want to have a good relationship with your son, you'd better cook a meal by yourself." Zhang Ai asked, "What do you mean?" Xu Qi shrugged: "Mr. Zhang, can you stop being a strong woman and be a good mother? When a mother meets her son, she invites her son to a big meal? This seems like a commercial act, right?" Zhang Ai's heart skipped a beat, that's right, I went to have a big meal when I met him, always thinking that this was love for him, but unexpectedly, his thoughts turned out to be like this. So, Zhang Ai said a little apologetically, "Well, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you." Xu Qi said: "You can just make some dumplings for me. The last time I ate dumplings was when I went back to Pengcheng during the winter vacation. Mama Zhang made them for me." Zhang Ai asked Luo Xiaodan: "Can you make dumplings here?" Luo Xiaodan said: "I have all the ingredients, but I don't have anything to roll the dumpling wrappers. I rarely go to Chinatown, and I don't buy a rolling pin." Zhang Ai smiled: "This is easy to handle, just find me two beer bottles. We used to roll dumpling wrappers like this in college." Luo Xiaodan shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not easy to handle. British beer bottles are rarely so smooth." Who knows, Xu Qi said on the sidelines: "You are here to make flour and dumpling stuffing, I will find a way." Xu Qi drove out, Zhang Ai called Zeng Rou down, and the three of them began to prepare. The dough must be made by Zhang Ai himself. Luo Xiaodan and Zeng Rou are from the south, so this can’t be done well, but they can cut meat, but Luo Xiaodan There is only beef here, so they made two kinds of stuffing: beef with carrots and beef with celery.Zhang Ai adjusts the stuffing himself, adding minced green onion, ginger, oil, salt and soy sauce, egg white and starch, so that the stuffing is smooth and palatable, and then adds chopped or chopped carrots and celery. After a while, Xu Qi came back, and saw that he bought two kinds of rum and a few straight glasses, and he put those things on the desk: "That's all, you can use it." Zhang Ai tried it, and found that the cup was easier to use, so she rolled out the skin, Zeng Rou and Luo Xiaodan wrapped it. Because Zeng Rou often went to Zhang Ai's house, she learned a lot from Mrs. Zhang, so she wrapped it decently, and Luo Xiaodan made it So-so, but basically decent. After more than an hour of tossing, the dumplings were cooked and brought to the restaurant.Zhang Ai prepared a soy sauce dish for Xu Qi, added sesame oil, chili, old mature vinegar, and a little minced raw garlic, and handed it to him.Xu Qi took a bite, then buried his head and devoured it hungrily.Zhang Ai asked: "How is it?" Xu Qi muttered: "I'm busy, I can't take care of it. It's delicious, delicious, and the dumplings made by hand are the best! This is the real dumpling However, it is still not as good as Mama Zhang's craftsmanship." Zhang Ai looked at Zeng Rou and Luo Xiaodan, they both secretly smiled, Zhang Ai was suddenly filled with a sense of happiness, she felt that the distance between her son and her was getting closer.However, he mentioned that Mrs. Zhang's craftsmanship is better than his own, which made Zhang Ai's heart move. This Xu Qi is also too close to Mrs. Zhang, right? Unexpectedly, after eating the dumplings, Xu Qi asked Luo Xiaodan for a plastic box, packed all the dumplings on the table that Zhang Ai and the others hadn't eaten, and said to Zhang Ai: "You guys make more, I'm back to Oxford, I have something to do .” Then, he picked up his backpack and turned to leave.Luo Xiaodan said, "I'll see you off." Xu Qi said, "No need, I'll take the subway." Then, he opened the door and left without even explaining to Zhang Ai.Zhang Ai was a little embarrassed, looking at Luo Xiaodan and Zeng Rou: "I'm sorry, I've neglected to educate this Xu Qi, and I made you laugh." Luo Xiaodan shook his head: "Don't say that, this kid is usually very polite, maybe it's because you're here, he's acting like a spoiled child." Luo Xiaodan's words made Zhang Ai's face even more uncomfortable. She looked at the empty plates on the table and said a little embarrassedly: "Look, we haven't eaten yet, and he took away everything, what should we do?" Luo Xiaodan thought for a while: "Why don't we go out to eat." Zhang Ai shook her head: "Forget it, I made Xu Qi lose the mood, and besides, Zeng Rou and I have jet lag, so we won't go out. We can eat whatever is in the refrigerator." Luo Xiaodan looked into the kitchen and came back and said, "There are only steak and eggs. We were going to Italy tomorrow. I thought you were going to eat outside when you came today, so I didn't prepare anything." Zhang Ai said: "Then you can show us your skills." Luo Xiaodan went into the kitchen, and Zeng Rou went to help.Suddenly, the phone in the next room rang, and Zhang Ai went to answer it. To her surprise, the call was from Mao Yinghua.Mao Yinghua told her that he had already discussed with Zheng Yiqun the conditions for his entry, which were basically the same as what he had said in advance.Zhang Ai replied, if there is no problem, you can sign with him.However, Mao Yinghua also said that Zheng Yiqun introduced American Luo Meng to provide listing counseling.Zhang Ai said "hmm" and said: "This Luo Meng is a big investment bank, and it is good to have a strategic cooperation with them. You can talk to them." Mao Yinghua replied: "Okay, I will meet with them as soon as possible. I have an appointment with Mayor Ju tomorrow. I will go to the provincial capital early in the morning. Do you see anything that needs my attention?" Zhang Ai smiled, and said slowly: "You can decide these matters, and you don't have to report everything to me." There are differences between people, and it is these differences that ultimately determine their positions. For example, Mao Yinghua, Zhang Ai feels that he is born to be a master operator who can handle many things in parallel. Luo Xiaodan's steak was fried very well, tender and juicy, but it was an English steak, and Zhang Ai was still a little unaccustomed to eating it.However, she couldn't show it in front of Luo Xiaodan, she kept praising Luo Xiaodan's craftsmanship, and said that the original British steak was very good.When dealing with subordinates, in many cases, praising the other party is a good way to quickly get closer to them. After dinner, Luo Xiaodan handed over a stack of materials to Zhang Ai, saying that these were some recent business materials, because tomorrow she was going to Italy with a few people, and hoped that Zhang Ai could read them.Zhang Ai smiled: "I've read everything about you on the company's network, and you've done a great job. This time I'm mainly here for vacation, so what should you be busy with? I'm just in the UK with Zeng Rou Just turn around." Luo Xiaodan was a little surprised. She probably made preparations for the arrival of Zhang Ai and Zeng Rou. She didn't expect Zhang Ai to say this. She froze for a moment and asked, "Do I need to arrange a travel agency?" Zhang Ai shook her head: "You are busy with your work, I am here arranged by the club, so you can rest assured." Zhang Ai's words made sense, although she told Xu Xinran that she came to the UK this time for work, in fact, she Just an escape.As for what to avoid, even she herself couldn't tell. Thinking of Xu Xinran and what Zeng Rou said to her on the plane, she really wanted to call Xu Xinran immediately, but because she still had some doubts in her heart, she gave up this idea for the time being. Back in the room, Zhang Ai sat on a calfskin sofa beside the bed for a long time, not wanting to sleep, let alone drink anything.She opened the curtains of the room, the west slanting sunlight diffused in the room, and everything in the room was coated with a layer of dark yellow light.Zhang Ai turned on the TV, which was broadcasting a news program, and the anchor was criticizing the prime minister.Zhang Ai was very emotional. If this anchor was so outspoken in China, he would be laid off immediately. She suddenly thought of Liu Lijun. If such an official were in the UK, would he dare to sleep with so many actresses?And that Liu Zihui, his property is public, can he give Gu Meimei that much money?Thinking of myself again, my sales abroad is to open up the market, and I just need to pay taxes according to the law, and I don’t need those officials in public relations.However, in China, it is unimaginable to do business without dealing with officials. After watching TV for a while, Zhang Ai felt a little sleepy, so she undressed and went to bed. The bed was soft, and soon she fell asleep. She was falling asleep when the phone on the bedside table vibrated suddenly, she picked it up in a daze, but it was Liu Zihui who asked, "Is Mr. Zhang at work?" Zhang Ai had a severe headache. She sat up and leaned against the back of the bed, her ears were ringing. She rubbed her temples and looked out the window. It was pitch black.She replied: "Excuse me, I'm on a business trip abroad." "Oh? When did you leave? We were together the night before yesterday, so I didn't hear what you said." Liu Zihui seemed surprised. Zhang Ai felt a little thirsty, turned on the bed lamp, there was a bottle of mineral water there, she took a sip, and then replied: "Sorry, it was a temporary decision." Liu Zihui suddenly fell silent.Zhang Ai asked: "Minister Liu, are you there?" "Ah, ah, here, it's okay, just make a random call and ask. You are busy, you are busy." Liu Zihui put the phone down. Liu Zihui didn't call casually, he must have something to do, but why is he hesitating?Is it because of Zhonghong Culture Company? Zhang Ai sat there in a daze for a while, her head still hurting, this is a normal reaction of jet lag.She lay down again and tried hard to fall asleep, but couldn't.折腾了一会儿，她不得不爬起来，打开iPad进入腾大的网络开始处理一些事情。其实，腾大的事情目前已经进入了正轨，有些事情都有各自的人员负责，章艾也就是负责一些大的事情而已。 有人在MSN上跟她说话，是财务总监，他告诉章艾，蔡瑶的事情他已经通过关联公司搞定了。章艾问他是派谁去的，财务总监回答是叫章艾的司机去的。这个安排叫章艾很满意，如果安排别人去她还真的有点不放心。 财务总监小心翼翼地问：“你知不知道影视基地那里最近财务有些问题？” 章艾回答：“我知道，是富有集团有些应收账款没有收回来。” 财务总监打出了一个无奈的表情，回复道：“恐怕还有别的原因，这两天我调查调查再跟你汇报。” 财务总监的话叫章艾忽然有了某种担忧，富有集团怎么啦？他们的财务真出了问题？如果那样的话，影视基地这边会受波及吗？ 章艾对这个消息总是有点半信半疑，富有集团财务会有问题？富有的设备制造业务是赢利的，酒店那边也正常，几个其他项目也没有太大的投资，怎么会出现财务问题？别的不说，仅仅是每年丁思妍替刘励骏处理那些关系所能拿到的咨询费就是个很庞大的数字，怎么会出现财务问题？ 可是，那天在丁思妍办公室，她分明看到了那么多催款的人，这又让她不得不相信。看着iPad上财务总监最后那段话，章艾纠结了很久。她很想打个电话给丁思妍，但是，又不愿意听她向自己控诉吴茵茹的种种不是。两个人都是自己的朋友，她们现在有了嫌隙，自己夹在中间真的很难受。 人之间的感情就像织毛衣，建立的时候一针一线，小心而漫长，拆除的时候却只需轻轻一拉。 章艾忽然意识到，自己来英国，其实不光是跟徐欣然有关系，潜意识里可能也有远离丁思妍与吴茵茹的矛盾的意思。她俩这次的投标会有怎样的结果呢？刘励骏到底是怎么个意思？章艾不由得担心起来。 听到楼下有响动，章艾走下去，发现罗晓丹正跟两个销售人员准备出门。见章艾下来，罗晓丹有些不好意思地说：“章总，你看，我们不小心，打扰你了。” 章艾看看表，伦敦时间四点多，就问：“你们怎么这么早？” 罗晓丹回答：“不好意思，我们约好了意大利的客户中午一起吃饭，下了飞机还要开一个多小时的车，因此要提前走。” 章艾问：“为什么不提前一个晚上去？” 罗晓丹解释道：“提前去就要多付一个晚上的酒店钱。你要知道，我们三个人，代表腾大，又不能住太差的地方，所以，能省就省一点吧。” 章艾心里一阵感动，想到自己这次跟曾柔来居然是坐头等舱，心里不禁有些内疚。于是，她点点头：“辛苦了，你们回来的时候，我要是不走，就请你们办事处全体吃大餐。” 罗晓丹笑笑：“好啊。”然后带着两个销售人员风风火火地走了。 章艾在楼下坐了一会儿，发现一缕晨曦已经溜进房间，于是，边开门边走到了外面，外面空气清新得叫她几乎有些陶醉。在国内，何时会有这样好的空气？就说鹏城吧，一年到头什么时候有这样的天空。 她在院子里走了一圈，发现周围的邻居家里都是静悄悄的，人家大概都在熟睡吧？全世界的人们很少像中国人这样辛辛苦苦的，人家都会享受生活。中国人为什么不能学会享受生活呢？章艾自己也说不明白。 一轮红日渐渐地从树的缝隙间露出头来，林间开始有小鸟儿的低鸣，即便是章艾在鹏城住在高尔夫球场旁边，鸟鸣对于她来说也是许久没有听到了。中国人，只要是发现了鸟儿的存在，很快就会想办法将它们变成自己的盘中餐，而这些行为对于外国人来说，简直是不可想象的。 她手里的电话又响了，这次居然是李佳薇，这让她很奇怪，李佳薇为什么打电话给自己？她犹豫了一下，把手机放在一边。可是，李佳薇却一直不屈不挠地打过来。 章艾接起来，装成很疲惫地问：“谁啊？” 听到章艾的声音，李佳薇反倒不好意思起来：“不好意思，听说你在英国，这边都中午了，你那边还没天亮吧？是不是打扰你休息了？” 章艾“嗯”了一声：“时差还没倒过来。怎么，有事啊？” 李佳薇显得很小心：“你看，咱们之间好像有个误会。” 章艾一下子明白了刚才刘子辉打电话给自己是什么意思，恐怕还是跟中宏文化公司有关系。于是，她故意打了个哈欠，问：“李总客气了，咱们之间能有什么误会的？”章艾就是不提中宏文化公司的事情。 李佳薇接着道：“你看，章总，你心胸大，就别跟我一般见识了。我那么做也是好心。” 章艾笑道：“你说什么呢，我怎么不明白啊？” 李佳薇似乎很为难：“章总，你知道我在说什么，你就别难为我了。” 章艾又打了个哈欠：“你说那事啊，现在已经闹大了，我不好参与了。这事你还是自己处理吧，你路子广，应该会处理好的。” 李佳薇想了半天，显得很无奈：“既然章总这么说，我知道怎么办了。对了，还有个事情，你看，我表妹在国内目标挺大的，你能不能让她去你那里待一阵子？费用你不用担心，全部由我来负责。你知道，我这么多年的业务主要在国内，国外我不熟的。” 章艾很想拒绝，但是，觉得这个要求可能不是李佳薇的意思，而是刘子辉的，不然，刚才他不会那么闪烁其词的。如果贸然拒绝，可能会彻底得罪刘子辉，于是，她回答：“这个倒是没问题，只是，我这里是个办事处，国内的人经常人来人往的，会不会走漏消息？” 李佳薇想了想：“这个应该问题不大，如果她在英国不化妆，一般人也不会想到就是她吧？我想了一下，让她自己租房子，她要是耐不住寂寞，可能会生事，在你那里有人能说说话，慢慢她可能就会适应过来。住一阵子，这阵风也就渐渐过去了，到时候再叫她回来。” 章艾“嗯”了一声：“这个没问题，只要她能在这里住得习惯，无所谓费用不费用的。咱们朋友之间还在乎这个嘛。” “那好，咱们就这么说定了，回头看看她什么时候去，我事先通知你。”李佳薇似乎松了一口气。 “行，这几天我都在英国，如果我要走的话，我就安排给办事处这边的人接待。”章艾回答。 顾梅梅要来英国，这是个麻烦，不让她来在面子上过不去；让她来，有点引火烧身的意思。能不能想个办法阻止她来？章艾陷入了沉思。 说来也巧，正在这时，她的电话又响了，是毛英华。毛英华告诉她，自己刚跟鞠市长谈完细节，正在回鹏城的路上。章艾有点奇怪，问：“不是中午了嘛，你怎么不跟鞠市长吃个饭再回去？” 毛英华说：“刚才刘岳平打电话过来，说市委朱书记秘书蔡文昭通知他，叫他陪同朱书记来中海信考察。所以，我要赶回去。” 市委书记朱振瑞要去中海信科技园考察，这说明中海信的模式已经得到了市里的认可，这是件好事。从某种意义上讲，宝山汽车电子产业基地那块地的问题基本也就算定局了。 章艾叮嘱了毛英华几句以后，当她听说晚上毛英华将请刘岳平和他的未婚妻许赛雁吃饭的时候，章艾脑子里忽然有了一个石破天惊的想法。她一直怀疑顾梅梅这件事可能跟刘岳平有关系，为什么不叫毛英华把顾梅梅要来英国的消息透露给刘岳平呢？ 于是，她交代毛英华，要装着不经意地把顾梅梅要出国的事情透露给刘岳平，不要说目的地是英国，这样，即使是这件事别人知道了，也不会有人想到消息是从自己这里传出去的。这样做一箭双雕，既能证明这件事是否与刘岳平有关，又可能阻止顾梅梅来英国。 放下电话，章艾忽然佩服起自己来了，怎么会忽然想到这个办法？这算不算卑鄙？章艾问自己。 太阳已经升上来了，和煦的阳光暖暖地照在章艾的身上，她忽然觉得很舒坦，一阵倦意涌上来，她走回房间，上了床，很快就睡着了。 这一觉睡得是那样沉，当她再一次醒来，已经是将近中午了。她梳洗一下，走下楼，看见曾柔正在打电话。听得出来是在处理公司的一些事务，都是些琐事，章艾也不愿意听，就在一楼转了转。销售人员应该都去上班了，没有什么人。只有一个黑人清洁工在打扫卫生，见到章艾，她打了个招呼，章艾也听不大懂，因为她有浓重的口音，章艾也听不出她是哪里人。 回到客厅，曾柔已经打完了电话。看见章艾就说：“看你的气色不错，怎么，休息得还不错？” 章艾点点头：“还不错，这时差算倒过来了吧，你怎么样？” 曾柔回答：“我年轻，恢复得快。对了，我刚才去了超市，买了些东西回来。你猜怎么样，这号称世界上物价最高的城市，物价居然比国内还要便宜。” “是吗？”章艾感到有点意外。 于是，曾柔开始跟章艾说她刚才买的菜的价格，什么生菜、芦笋、芹菜、口蘑等，折合成人民币都比国内便宜。最贵的是西红柿，八个八十便士，折合人民币一块钱一个，不过，比鹏城的菜价还是便宜。 章艾摇摇头：“这就有点离谱了，普通英国人工资两千多英镑一个月，差不多两万多块人民币，菜价却比国内还低，中国的物价真是到了不可思议的地步了。别的不说，光是汽油费高速公路过路费那就是一大笔开销，你知道为什么咱们公司的物流不自己做，而是请物流公司了吧，就是为了节约开支。” “我每天看公司的报表，这些我知道，而且，我更知道，咱们企业在国内的税赋是远远高于国外的。”曾柔道。 “行了，咱俩别愤青了，做饭，填饱肚子去逛逛。”章艾道。 曾柔笑了：“先别做了，你家徐琦说等一下给你带个神秘嘉宾来。” “神秘嘉宾？”章艾一愣，然后耸耸肩，“他不是说今天有重要的课程吗？这小子不是有女朋友了吧，是中国人还是英国人，不会是黑人吧？” 曾柔笑着：“你紧张什么？人家找什么样的女朋友你只有接受的资格，没有评价的资格，明白吗？” 章艾摇着头：“天天跟我谈自由，这要是在国内，不听我话，我揍他。” “法西斯。”曾柔撇着嘴。 章艾正想反驳，忽然，门铃响了，曾柔冲着章艾道：“神秘嘉宾来了。” 章艾以为是徐琦带着女朋友来了，谁知，跟着徐琦进来的却是徐欣然，这让章艾大吃一惊，她问徐琦：“这就是你说的神秘嘉宾？” 徐琦耸耸肩，摊开手：“这还不神秘？” 徐欣然赔着笑：“老婆，对不起，没跟你打招呼我就跟来了，没敢通知你。” 本来章艾不想跟徐欣然追究什么了，但是，看到他不请自来，心里忽然又觉得不对劲了。他能这样跟着来，心里肯定是有鬼，她这样判断着。 “徐琦，你不是说你今天上午有课吗？怎么，到机场去上课啦？”章艾板着脸问道。 徐琦一本正经地说：“章总，我发现你特没劲。这也是善意的谎言，我要是说徐总也来伦敦了，你能让我去吗？你们夫妻之间有什么矛盾，能不能自己解决？别动不动就逃避，你跑到伦敦来的理由别以为我猜不出来。” “你能猜出来？你瞎猜什么！”章艾黑着脸道。 徐琦“嘁”了一声，用一副见多识广的口吻道：“章总，别以为自己做得很秘密，以前你来伦敦，哪回不是提前好几天就打电话给我，问我缺什么，从鹏城给我带一大堆东西来。这回呢？突然就来了，你以为我不明白你是突然决定的？腾大股份的章总突然来伦敦，业务上没有什么特别的事情，专门看儿子又没准备礼物，那不是逃避行动是什么？堂堂的著名企业家会逃避什么，不是债务就是情感喽。” “那么，你爸爸来伦敦是你一手策划的喽？”章艾看着眼前这个高高大大的儿子，忽然觉得自己以前小看他了。 “那是自然，章总的儿子总不会愚蠢到老娘心里有事都看不出来吧？”徐琦露出一丝得意。 章艾冷冷地看了徐欣然一眼，问：“你怎么跟徐琦说我来伦敦的事情的？” 徐欣然不卑不亢地回答：“这是我们男人之间的事，你就别问了。” 曾柔赶紧打圆场：“先别说这个了，都中午了，徐总坐了那么久的飞机一定饿了，我们出去吃饭吧。”然后，她看看徐琦：“徐大少，你们一家三口好不容易在伦敦见面，你推荐个好吃的地方。” 徐琦看着章艾：“那就要看章总舍不舍得花钱了。” 章艾看看徐欣然：“你请客？” 徐欣然满不在乎地说：“我请就我请！” 徐琦说：“那就去考文特花园的一家餐厅吧。” 章艾问：“贵吗？” 徐琦颇有点不屑地说：“又不是你请客，你问贵不贵干吗？” 章艾心里说，还不是家里的钱。但是，她嘴上却没说什么，她可不想在徐琦面前让他看出什么来。不过，她心里一直犯着嘀咕，不知道徐欣然都跟徐琦说了些什么。 坐在那间挂着许多油画的餐厅里，看着面前的杜松子酒和阿伯丁牛肉，章艾忽然觉得徐琦昨天说英国菜没什么好吃的，的确是在伦敦时间久了的经验之谈。尽管那个善谈的年纪看起来不小了的侍者跟章艾介绍的那份菜单，说这是英国最美味的菜，除了牛肉，这份菜单还包括熏鲑鱼烤土豆什么的，总之，章艾没觉得这份菜单有什么让她感到美味的。 她看着徐琦：“你怎么不领我去个意大利或者法国餐厅去？” 徐琦吃着自己的一份馅饼，“嘿嘿”地笑着：“这里不是贵嘛。” 章艾看着徐欣然，颇有些不满地说：“你看看你儿子！” 徐欣然吃着自己的那份比目鱼，“嘿嘿”地笑着：“嗯，我儿子，缺点都像我。” 曾柔吃着一堆烂糊糊的蚕豆，偷偷地笑着，不做声。 “得了，章总，人家这间餐厅有两百多年的历史，它是一个过去的年代对你美妙的提醒。”徐琦一副城里人看着乡巴佬的表情看着章艾。 “得，我吃不出什么历史来，我没文化。”章艾愤愤地说。想了想，她又补充道：“食物非常昂贵，而且令人非常失望。” 徐琦看着徐欣然，半笑着：“徐总，我说你怎么总在太太面前不能令人满意呢，原来，你太太是个完美主义者。在伦敦最古老的餐厅里，她也不满意，当然，对并不古老的你，她就有更多的要求了，可怜啊。” 章艾忽然愣了，她忽然明白儿子是什么意思了。面前的杜松子酒也许是伦敦的骄傲，自己为什么把它看成一杯平淡的水？斯蒂尔顿沙拉，实际上相当不错，羊肉鞍和牛排，肾布丁也是伦敦美食的代表，自己为什么要挑三拣四？ 于是，她不再批评这里的菜了，只是，她不愿意在徐琦面前承认错误。她又叫了瓶红葡萄酒喝起来，喝到酣处，甚至跟徐欣然碰了几次杯。 酒很醇，她发现，徐欣然开始变得不那么紧张，徐琦看她的眼神也有了变化。 在那个餐厅坐了很久才出来，徐琦开着车，问他们要不要逛逛博物馆什么的，章艾摆着手：“回去吧，我有点晕。” 章艾是有点晕，但是，比较起她在国内经过的那么多应酬，这点酒其实不算什么。只是，她很想回到房间，把自己放在床上，好好地睡一觉。是时差没倒过来吗？of course not. 然而，当徐琦把徐欣然的行李送进她的房间，她也没说什么。关上门，她对徐欣然说：“你冲冲凉，睡一觉吧。”然后，也不管徐欣然有什么表情，自己径自睡了。 当她再醒来，发现徐欣然在身边睡得很沉，看样子他也累了，毕竟自己跟曾柔是在新加坡过境，虽然时间花了二十多个小时，但是毕竟头等舱舒服。而徐欣然是坐经济舱来的，十四个小时，也够辛苦的了。 看着身边这个男人，她心情很复杂。章艾不知道，一直跟徐琦关系很紧张的他，在跟徐琦通电话的时候说了什么，他会跟儿子承认自己抠小妹吗？应该不会，他是怎么解释的？章艾自然不能去问徐琦，作为母亲，她无论如何也要在儿子面前维护他父亲的形象。 手机响了，她赶紧走出房间，走到走廊接起来，是毛英华，他告诉章艾，下午市委书记朱振瑞到中海信科技园参观了，并听取了汇报，对中海信的模式给予了高度的肯定。同时，毛英华告诉章艾，他已经按照她的安排将顾梅梅要出国的消息透露给了刘岳平。 章艾问：“刘岳平有什么特别的反应吗？” 毛英华回答：“他似乎没怎么注意这个消息。” Oh?这倒让章艾有点意外，难道是自己判断错了？ 放下电话，章艾轻轻推开门看徐欣然还在睡，于是，她走到了楼下。徐琦正在一个房间里打游戏，看见章艾，他打了个招呼，继续盯着电脑。章艾很想跟他谈谈，可是，看他似乎一点也没有跟自己谈话的意思，她只好作罢。 走到厨房，她发现曾柔正在准备做菜，于是，她问：“晚上准备做点什么好吃的？” 曾柔笑道：“就这么多材料，家常小菜，凑合着吃吧。” 章艾知道曾柔的手艺不错，也不说什么，就问曾柔有什么需要帮忙的。曾柔说没什么，叫她去看电视。 她正百无聊赖地换着台，想找个中文的电视台，徐琦忽然走过来了，一屁股坐在她身边，问：“徐总还睡着呢？” 章艾很不满地说：“你这孩子怎么回事，不叫爸爸妈妈，总是章总徐总的，脑子没毛病吧！” 徐琦咧嘴笑笑，很神秘地问：“徐总跟你承认错误啦？” “承认错误？承认什么错误？”章艾看着徐琦，心里盘算着：他都知道什么？ 徐琦一撇嘴：“徐总没跟你承认他抠女的事情是犯了大错？” 章艾反问：“他是这么跟你说的？” 徐琦摇摇头：“他那人能跟我承认这个？他就说他得罪你了。我太了解我这个爹了，他一犯错误就是女人的事，我说得没错吧？” 章艾一下子明白了，徐琦这是在诈自己。毕竟是孩子，说着说着就露馅儿。于是，她冷笑着：“你瞎猜什么啊！” 徐琦“哼”了一声：“你们两个用不着瞒我，我什么看不出来啊。” 章艾黑着脸，对徐琦说：“你瞎猜什么啊！让你爸听见，他还不揍你。” 徐琦不屑地“嘁”了一声：“得，我才不管你们的破事，你们就互相打掩护吧，反正我是坏人。得，我回牛津了。”说着，拎起包就走。 章艾喊他：“你不吃饭啦？” 徐琦头也不回：“我不在这里碍你们的事情。” 徐琦这么一走，章艾忽然觉得心里很难受，她只觉得自己的心像被掏空了一样。她不知道自己为什么总跟徐琦沟通不了，她也不明白徐琦心里到底想的是什么。 曾柔走过来，坐在那里开始看iPad，章艾问：“菜都准备好了？” 曾柔“嗯”了一声：“等徐总醒了炒炒就能吃了。” 章艾问：“微博上有什么新鲜事啊？” 曾柔摇摇头：“没啥，好像是关心顾梅梅的人也不多了。” 章艾“嗯”了一声：“看样子丁总和吴总的北京之行还是很有效果的。” 曾柔“嗯”了一声：“中国特色。” “我一直有个问题想不明白，你说这次顾梅梅的事情闹得这么大，只是一个孤立事件？”章艾像自言自语道。 “怎么，你有什么想法？”曾柔问。 于是，章艾就把自己这些天对刘岳平的怀疑说了一下，最后，她对曾柔说：“你帮我分析分析，这些事情仅仅是巧合吗？” 曾柔想了半天：“所有偶然的背后一定有着某种必然。” “别当哲学家了，你说说你是怎么想的？”章艾“哼”了一声。 曾柔在iPad上面用手指点来点去，似乎没有听到章艾的问话。忽然，她惊讶地喊了一声：“天啊，这也太神奇了！” “怎么啦？”章艾问。 曾柔正想回答，只见徐欣然穿着睡衣边打电话边从楼上冲下来：“真的吗？好好。” 章艾有些不满地说：“你下楼小心点，这么大岁数了，摔了谁负责？” 徐欣然伸手拿过曾柔手里的iPad，迅速地看着，边看边摇头：“这怎么可能？” Zhang Ai asked: "What's the matter with you?" 徐欣然把iPad递给章艾：“你自己看吧。” 章艾拿过来一看，只见整个微博正在传一个重要的消息，顾梅梅今天晚上要坐飞机从上海到鹏城，然后取道中国香港去澳大利亚。而且还有人贴出了顾梅梅的航班信息，那是一种航空公司内部的信息，一般人是拿不到的。 章艾心里有点拿不准，她不知道这到底是不是刘岳平做的。按刘岳平他们的能力，就是拿到顾梅梅来伦敦的信息，应该也不是难事吧。这是一个偶然，还是刘岳平故意为之？ 章艾看了看徐欣然，问：“刚才谁打电话给你？”
