Wearing books to become the group favorite of bigwigs
Chapter 89 Appearance
The car drove all the way to a white building, and the door covered with green leaves slowly opened.
There was a person who looked like a butler standing at the door: "Please follow me."
Lin Xi and Gao Jin got out of the car and followed.
Lin Xi and Gao Jin followed the pace of the butler, and entered inside, it was very empty, but very courtly.
"You are here."
"Ah."
"Come and sit here."
"Mr. Di Mai, this is a residence, right?"
"Yes, but I usually don't live here, and this is only the annual family banquet where people come."
Lin Xi went straight to the point: "That's right, I also found this surprising thing when I got home."
Take out a box wrapped in cloth in your bag.
"what is this?"
"The red velvet box where the brooch was placed."
Before Lin Xi opened it in front of Di Mai, he was shocked by the ruby inside.
"How is this going."
"I felt something was wrong when we parted from you in the vintage shop yesterday, so I took out this box at home and looked at it carefully. After that, I made a small opening in the box, and there was a small hidden compartment inside, and I found this."
"Amazing this."
"Mr. Di Mai, don't you know about this?"
"Yes, I don't know. After my mother's accident, the brooch has been kept by my father himself. Why did he do it?"
Lin Xi didn't know either.
"Mrs. Gao, thank you for being willing to tell me the whereabouts of this ruby."
"We are here this time to return the gem to you."
"This is what you guys discovered, and it's yours." Di Mai didn't rush to go back, but instead gave the ruby to Lin Xi.
"That's not good!"
"It's okay, now. My father must have his reasons for what he wants to do. He probably doesn't want me to pursue it anymore."
"But this is something from your family, is it really okay to give it to me like this?"
"Haha, it belongs to the family, but the real owner of this brooch, our family, has nothing to do with the family."
Lin Xi looked at the beautifully cut gems on the box: "I'll keep it first, and if you regret it someday, you can take it back."
"Don't worry, I will send you off as soon as I send you off, and I won't ask for it back."
Gao Jin watched Di Mai from the side: "Mr. Di Mai, thank you for your generosity, but this gem is too dangerous. I'm afraid we won't be able to keep it properly, so you should take it back."
Lin Xi agreed: "Yes."
It's hard for Di Mai to evade: "You two insist, so I'll take it back."
"Mr. Di Mai, we came here to return this, and now that the object has been returned, we have to leave." Gao Jin didn't plan to stay here for long.
"I'll ask the housekeeper to send you off."
Lin Xi declined politely, "Don't bother."
Leaving Di Mai's house, Lin Xi saw that it was still early and he still had time to go to the studio. Liu Rui's affairs had not been dealt with, and he was still piled up with work, so there would be no vacation this weekend.
"Send me to the studio, I still have work to do, the backlog is too many days."
"I'll pick you up tonight."
"OK."
Gao Jin turned around at the intersection ahead and sent Lin Xi to the studio.
Lin Xi got out of the car, greeted Gao Jin and left.
In the coffee shop across the road, there was a man in a top hat sitting in front of the window and observing Lin Xi's studio.
"Mila, you are finally willing to come to work, you thought you were on strike again."
"Oh, my little baby, how can I give up your hard work."
Aile didn't like Lin Xi's set: "Hurry up and deal with your work, it will soon pile up into a hill."
"OK, I'll go now."
I opened the door of my studio. Fortunately, someone cleaned it for me, so that there was no excess dust in my studio.
Gao Jin's face was frighteningly dark in a certain office building at this time: "Who made this report."
"The report sent by the financial department in country Z."
"Deal with it, send it to my office in 10 minutes."
After a brief meeting ended, Gao Jin sent Lin Xi a message to remind her to remember to eat lunch.
Lin Xi didn't have time to sort out Gao Jin's information, and she still had a few design drafts to draw, and various fabric surveys that she needed to know by herself.
With her hair tied behind her head in a pencil, she made a video call with Liu Rui and Zhang Yuan: "You guys made a mysterious mistake at work. You signed a contract with someone without my approval. You can make such a big work omission. If there are more of these problems, my studio will be lost.”
"Mila, I'm sorry it was my negligence this time." Zhang Yuan couldn't refute, after all, it was a mistake at work, and it was the most basic mistake.
Liu Rui didn't dare to refute, and silently followed Lin Xi's reprimand.
"Well, the contract was signed after you have completed the investigation, so there is no excessive risk of loss. Do you have any objections to deducting your salary for this month and next month?"
"No." Zhang Yuan and Liu Rui had no choice but to accept their fate.
Lin Xi ordered Liu Rui again: "Liu Rui, remember to go home and accompany your master."
"understood."
After hanging up the video call, Lin Xi hurried to the cafe opposite to pack some sandwiches and salad.
The man in the top hat who had been sitting by the window stared at Lin Xi.
When Lin Xi was about to leave, the man in the top hat followed him and pretended to bump into Lin Xi, causing a box to fall out of his pocket.
"gentlemen."
Lin Xi wanted to call him to stop him, but he walked away without looking back. When he picked it up, the man in the top hat had disappeared.
At the door, Lin Xi couldn't believe his eyes when he opened the brooch in the box.
It was the brooch that was stolen.
"OMG."
He returned to his office with the brooch, and there was a note in the box: "Get ready for the real eye of God."
This is not a good thing. I just returned the real gem today, and the brooch came out like this again. This is a bad trip.
Put the box away as your own bag, and prepare to go home after get off work. Since that person can wait for so long, it shouldn't be too late to send it to me today.
Inventory the latest new fabrics in the warehouse, and analyze whether the materials meet the latest requirements.
"Mila, someone is looking for you."
Lin Xi put down his things and went out to have a look. It was Li Xinian.
"Long time no see!" Li Xinian greeted himself now.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Lin Xi didn't expect that Li Xinian would find him here.
Take him to his office.
"Why are you in Country Y?"
"Actually, I was in country D before I went. Recently, I came here for a business trip because of work."
"I've seen a person who looks like you in country D before. I don't know if it's you."
"It may not be a new thing to meet me, after all, my major needs to travel around."
"Are you still in your old job?"
"Well, I came here this time because I received an invitation to participate in some academic discussions."
"It seems very powerful, so you came to me because you want to customize clothes."
"Yes, would you like to take my order?"
"Of course, but it may take half a month to get the clothes. Can you wait in time?"
"No problem, the symposium will be held at the end of the month, don't worry."
"Hmm, it's not that I don't need to worry, you have to come again when the time comes."
"It's okay, as long as it's convenient for you."
"Then I'll have someone take you to measure."
"it is good."
After Lin Xi made arrangements for Li Xinian, he went back to the warehouse to pick up things, and the phone received a message: My patience is not good.
This person seems to have figured out all the anxious life.
Since this is the case, I went back to the office, took out the brooch in my bag and gestured in front of the window. If I am not an expert, I really can't see where the problem is.
After Li Xi Nian finished measuring, he said hello to Lin Xi and left.
Lin Xi sent a message to Mr. Di Mai: Maybe the matter is not over yet.
When Di Mai received the news from Lin Xi, his eyes narrowed slightly and he gave a dangerous look.
I made a mysterious phone call and asked someone to investigate.
By the way, I sent a message back to Lin Xi: Just rest assured.
After receiving Di Mai's message, Lin Xi felt that he knew this person.
After get off work, Gao came to pick up Lin Xi: "Maybe there is another big trouble outside."
"What do you mean?"
"I got this."
Lin Xi took out the things in the bag again.
Gao Jin took it and opened it.
"When did you receive it?"
"I bought lunch at noon, time. A man in a black trench coat and top hat fell to my feet."
"Mr. Di Mai knows?"
"Well, I messaged him, but it looks like he knows who did it. Reassure me."
Gao Jin was still driving, so it was inconvenient to chat more. When he got home, Gao Jin arranged a lot of people inside and out to watch out for any suspicious people around his home.
"It's a bit of a hassle, but it's a lot of fun."
"You are not allowed to act without authorization."
"I can't listen to your command every time."
"If you want me to lock you up again."
"If you want to challenge my bottom line."
Lin Xi didn't admit defeat, after all, this was his own territory, and if he wanted to do something about him, he had to see if he liked it or not.
Lin Xi was too lazy to reason with Gao Jin, why did she try to fall in love with him, but she felt that she and him were like relatives, and there was no taste of love at all.
Lin Xi hasn't called Lin Heng for a long time, and he probably hasn't woken up yet after making a call.
Send him a message: Brother, Xixi misses you, but Gao Jin restricts my freedom.
After posting, Lin Xi jumped to the refrigerator to look for ice cream.
Open the door of the refrigerated freezer and eat that.
Still searching, Gao Jin came in: "Want to eat ice cream?" He closed the refrigerator door.
"What are you doing?"
"It's time for dinner."
"Then you do it."
"You help me wash the dishes."
"I do not know."
"I can teach you."
"I don't want to learn."
"Ice cream confiscated."
"If it's confiscated, it's confiscated. I won't buy it myself?"
"uh-huh."
After Lin Xi talked back, he went upstairs. Gao Jin was cooking dinner by himself. Tonight's dinner is Chinese food, which should be made with less portion and more variety.
After washing all the necessary ingredients neatly, Gao Jin was very satisfied with the quick and crisp sound of cutting vegetables on the chopping board.
Tonight's menu includes braised pork, steamed eggplant with minced meat, stir-fried squid with bell pepper, and a plate of boiled vegetables.
The process of braised pork is relatively complicated. Gao Jin is still preparing the ingredients. Prepare all the auxiliary materials, put them in the pot under cold water, add 2 slices of ginger, 2 sections of green onion, and 2 spoons to finish. After boiling, use a spoon to avoid the foam on the surface Take it out, find the cooking pot, and pour oil directly into it.
Put the pork belly directly and fry over low heat until both sides are golden, add 6 pieces of rock sugar and stir fry until the rock sugar is completely melted.Then add all kinds of auxiliary ingredients and stir fry together, and boil the pot. Lin Xi just came down at this time.
"It smells good."
"like?"
"Nonsense, no one can resist the smell of meat."
"Do you want ice cream?"
"Dessert is fine, what else do you want to do, I can help you, it seems that cooking is not very difficult."
Gao Jin pointed at the vegetables that were still lying in the basket: "And this."
"How to do this?"
"Boil in water, remove and drizzle with soy sauce."
"So simple?"
"You can try it."
Lin Xi followed Gao Jin's steps, first filled a pot with about the same amount of water, and then brought it to a boil.
Boiling is a process that feels like a long time.
"Why is it still not good?"
"You only waited for 2 minutes."
"Why does it feel like it's been a long time?"
"Cooking is as patient as making clothes."
"alright."
After a few minutes, the water boiled, and the bubbling water made Lin Xi hesitate to pour the vegetables into it, and tried one by one.
"Xi Xi, the other vegetables you planted like this are getting old."
"I dare not."
"I'll help you." Gao Jin took Lin Xi's hand behind her and poured down the vegetables directly.
"It doesn't seem so scary."
"Ah."
When it is almost cooked, scoop up the vegetables with a ladle to get rid of excess water.
"It's better for you to come, this is not suitable for me."
Lin Xi gave up resolutely, after all, it should really not be the case directly.
There was a person who looked like a butler standing at the door: "Please follow me."
Lin Xi and Gao Jin got out of the car and followed.
Lin Xi and Gao Jin followed the pace of the butler, and entered inside, it was very empty, but very courtly.
