please don't believe me

Shen Yuyao stayed at home for seven days in a row, and was so bored that she almost started smashing things.Okay, don't let yourself go out, let others come in and operate the head office under your nose, right?Anyway, she finally got her brother to let her little friend in.

The Zhang family has not stood in line yet, Henry Zhang is destined not to appear, but Du Bai is the opposite, he will definitely come.

What Du Bai really wanted to see was Shen Ximing.It's not because he thought "the most dangerous place is the safest place", but Shen Ximing doesn't seem easy to fool, and Du Bai has some doubts about the recent so-called "assassination" incident.If you want to understand Shen Ximing's true thoughts, perhaps you can only tell when you see him in person.

However, even Shen Yuyao couldn't see her elder brother every day.Not only was it hard to see, she didn't really want to see it either.My elder brother seems to be depressed recently, and if I ask a question, I will answer it abruptly, and if I say one more sentence, it will be like spying on military secrets, which can make people stare to death.

Therefore, when the two stood together on the balcony and heard Du Bai casually ask if they would see Colonel Shen today, Shen Yuyao replied extremely quickly: "Probably not, he is not here now. Even if he comes back later, he will not deliberately Come and see us in the game room..."

Shen Yuyao is also very uncertain about the latter sentence, while Du Bai thinks that Shen Ximing is likely to come.After all, under the assumptions that "Shen Ximing is the opponent's host" and "he is suspicious of the relationship network of the people around him", Shen Yuyao has a friend who comes to the house, and Shen Ximing probably tends to take a look at it more or less.

Speaking of her own elder brother, Shen Yuyao suddenly remembered another piece of interesting news.She looked at the little friends in the room, and confirmed that everyone's attention seemed to be not here—at least on the surface—then she picked up the book and pretended to ask Du Bai a question, but whispered something else Question: "Did you ever go to a club called... er, the Arc de Triomphe?"

Du Bai's heart moved, and he looked at Shen Yuyao: "Why do you..."

"Hey, my brother told me last time that he saw you there." Shen Yuyao said angrily, "I just remembered it suddenly, it doesn't mean anything... Sigh, I really don't know why my brother told you I!"

In order to test whether you and I are in the same group.Du Bai thought to himself: But in the end, he just sold me some useful news for nothing.

"It's okay. But you can tell me about this kind of thing, don't go around talking about the 'Arc of Triumph'." Du Bai suddenly coughed twice, and he took out a handkerchief from his pocket, "Miss Shijia always hangs on With the name of the club, beware of gossip."

"I know. But my brother..." Shen Yuyao originally wanted to look into Du Bai's eyes, but as she spoke, her gaze involuntarily focused on the handkerchief with black dots on the green background.

Du Bai wiped his mouth, and was not in a hurry to take back the handkerchief, he just asked, "Let's talk about something else. Shen Yuyao, where did you order this dress today?"

Shen Yuyao replied: "Cai Yunxuan."

Du Bai asked again: "Which master's craftsmanship?"

Shen Yuyao replied, "Feng Ruolan."

"Okay, got it." Du Bai squeezed the handkerchief away, and stuffed it back into his pocket as if nothing had happened.Shen Yuyao blinked, as if she had just woken up from a daze, she naturally looked into Du Bai's eyes.

"That's right." Du Bai put one hand in his pocket, and raised the other hand to stroke, "I didn't have time to say, you look very good today, you look like the famous ladies in France."

"Oh?" Miss Shen folded her arms on her chest, turned her body sideways and raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Men also know fashion?"

Du Bai touched his chin: "Cai Yunxuan?"

Shen Yuyao opened her eyes wide: "Huh?"

Du Bai lifted his chin, swiped his index finger and said with a smile: "Master Feng's craftsmanship."

"...Wow." Shen Yuyao was a little stunned, and couldn't help laughing with surprise and admiration, "How do you know?"

"Secret. But I thought I would guess wrong, but fortunately I was right." Du Bai smiled, "Go in, let's stop standing outside."

Du Bai's wish to meet Shen Ximing did not come true, but a few days later, his relationship with Zhou Chunli was presented on Shen Xiuyuan's desk.

Zhou Chunli's interpersonal communication is as complicated as one can imagine, and she will get some attention if she appears in front of Shen Xiuyuan at this juncture.Even though she is still far from being "Shen Ximing's close person", judging from the situation that the boss of the Arc de Triomphe Lin has guaranteed her, there are still many opportunities to contact her in the future.

It's routine to check her.The recording of her interaction with Du Bai was by accident.

It's nothing new for a kid from a rich family to date a showgirl.What's more, Zhou Chunli can influence the Arc de Triomphe, and Du Bai, as a prospective young owner of a wealthy family business, may not be beneficial to befriend her.

Zhou Chunli is a butterfly in the first place, and it is not surprising that she walks with any decent person.She spends a lot of time in and out of sensual places with other big bosses, and getting along with Du Bai is a bit like a young man playing ambiguously. When she goes out, she walks the street for a long time, and then goes back where she came out.

Shen Xiuyuan could imagine Zhou Chunli moving his fingers, and he could seduce young masters and buddies who don't know much about the world to spend a lot of money for her.However, Du Bai looked quite stable and decent, so he was actually fascinated by this singer, which was somewhat regrettable.

He mentioned to Shen Yuyao about Du Bai's trip to the Arc de Triomphe earlier, also in order to test the social circle of this group of young people.Judging from Shen Yuyao's reaction, at least she herself never went, and she didn't know that Du Bai would go, and she was even less clear about the movements of other young people.

Other young people, including Henry Zhang.

He and the Zhang family just had some tacit understanding to test each other, and on the surface, the Northeast local army had a quarrel with him, so it is understandable for the Zhang family to hold back for the time being.And during this period of time, Henry Zhang rarely had a sense of presence in front of the Shen family.Shen Yuyao has a lot of playfulness, people who don't appear in front of her just turn their heads and forget, and now they are still busy preparing to start a magazine, and everything seems to be normal.

Shen Xiuyuan tapped the table with his fingertips, thinking about not paying too much attention to Shen Yuyao's line.

"Brother, are you free?"

Shen Xiuyuan closed the document in front of him and put it aside: "Come in."

The door opened with a click, and Shen Yuyao poked her head, with a bright and bright smile: "Brother!"

Shen Xiuyuan raised his eyes to look at her: "Stand up straight, what does it look like to probe your head?"

Shen Yuyao hurriedly stood into the study room and closed the door with her hands behind her back: "Excuse me?"

"It's okay." Shen Xiuyuan withdrew his momentum, "What's the matter?"

"Cough..." Shen Yuyao had already entered the "position", but "frozen", "It's nothing, I'll see if you're busy."

Both of them knew that this was nonsense, but Shen Xiuyuan was sympathetic to the little girl, and chatted a lot of gossip along with her.When she seemed to have nothing to talk about, she raised a point at the right time: "Is there anything else you want to do with me?"

"Hey, actually there are still." Shen Yuyao walked across the desk, put her hands on the edge of the table, and finally said the main purpose with a heartbeat, "Brother, equip my gun with live ammunition?"

"Your gun?" Shen Xiuyuan frowned for two seconds, finally retrieved this passage from the memory of the original owner, narrowed his eyes, "Colt."

The Shen family is a military family, so it's not surprising that Shen's father gave his youngest daughter Shen Yuyao a small pistol as a gift.However, Shen Yuyao was not very interested in this thing when she was a child, and her family was also afraid of accidents, so the gun was always there, and a single bullet was not worthy.

"That's right!" Shen Yuyao smiled flatteringly, "I searched for a long time and couldn't find it, can my brother help?"

Just as Shen Xiuyuan was about to put this younger sister in the safe range, she added an extremely unstable factor to herself.Even if it was just a weapon for short-range self-defense, it would greatly increase her lethality, how could Shen Xiuyuan easily agree.

However, the gun belonged to Shen Yuyao in the first place, and it's not very safe recently. As "Shen Ximing", I really can't refuse it straight away: "Why do you want that? I can't even shoot it myself."

"Didn't I just learn it? My shooting range isn't too far." Shen Yuyao pulled the chair over and sat opposite Shen Xiuyuan, "Besides, brother, you always feel that I'm not safe around me, can I defend myself?"

Shen Xiuyuan pointed at the table with his fingertips: "How did you think of this?"

"How do you remember... isn't it just that you have learned how to use a gun recently?" Shen Yuyao replied, "I found my gun a long time ago, but I haven't found any bullets. Can my brother match it for me?"

Shen Xiuyuan looked into her eyes: "Whose idea is this?"

Shen Yuyao was taken aback: "Me."

Shen Xiuyuan felt that her expression did not seem to be fake, and thinking of his previous decision, he lowered his eyes, and then raised his eyes again: "I see. Go and call my adjutant, and he will deal with this matter later."

Shen Yuyao probably didn't expect it to be so simple, she stood up abruptly: "Thank you brother!"

The adjutant was called to Shen Xiuyuan's study, but he didn't just come to listen to orders.

Holding a thick file bag, he showed the documents inside to Shen Xiuyuan one by one.The paper recorded in detail the information of some people in the capital and even the entire East China region. These people are all well-known figures in the domestic business circle.At the same time, most of them also have intentions for the Southern Army, at least not the opposing side, so they have the idea of ​​making friends with Shen Ximing.

Shen Xiuyuan's purpose of paying attention to these people is simple-to raise military donations.

Of course, this was not Shen Xiuyuan's impromptu idea, but something that Shen Ximing focused on promoting before his arrival.He wants to be able to support the soldiers in his hand, and military expenditure is a crucial issue.Although you may be promoted when you come back, being appreciated does not mean you can sit back and relax in terms of fees.Now that the situation is chaotic, Shen Ximing understands that the seemingly beautiful superstructure is actually nothing but gold and jade.If you want to really gain a foothold, you have to deal with some businessmen who understand "gold in troubled times".The road ahead has been paved until before returning to Beijing, Shen Xiuyuan is just following the trend.

Time is running out, and Shen Xiuyuan actually doesn't want to take care of this mess, but firstly, the situation is pressing, and secondly, Boss Lin of the Arc de Triomphe is willing to help.President Shen Da was riding a tiger, and always felt that there was a subtle sense of "cowardly" when he flinched at this time, so he had to face the difficulties.

In fact, at the banquet at home earlier, some people had already met each other for the first time, and they had a tacit understanding with each other.When we meet for the second time, we can test the water temperature.

The place is arranged at the Arc de Triomphe.

"Wait." Shen Xiuyuan stopped the adjutant who was about to go out, "Shen Yuyao's gun... only gives her three live ammunition. Before that, check its performance, especially the safety lock."
