Solstice Secrets

Brown Tang stretched out one of his fur paws at the servant, with earnest eyes, "One look. Just one look."

"No," the servant guarded in front of the cat's litter, staring fiercely at the brown sugar that was about to move and the little gray figure behind the brown sugar, "the mother and the child need to rest,"

Brown Tang endured it, and continued to lower his figure, "Let's sneak in and never let Cherry find out."

"That doesn't work either," the servant heard a thin cry from the cat's nest behind him, the soft and waxy voice tickled his heart.It wanted to watch it by itself, but was distracted to stop these ones, so it couldn't help becoming irritable, "Where is it cool and where to hide, why are you so anxious for the wife to have a baby?!"

Brown Tang was angry, "Just take a look, and you won't lose a piece of meat! I'll give you jerky for nothing!"

The servant took two steps in front of the cat's nest, turned his head and quickly glanced at the situation in the cat's nest, then pretended to wave his paws at the three idlers who were waiting to watch, "It's gone, it's gone, Let’s talk tomorrow!”

Brown Tang was about to rush over angrily, but was stopped by Xiao Wanger.Xiao Guang'er discussed with it with a playful smile, "You are watching from the side, we will leave after a quick look."

Xiao Hui also chimed in, "Oh, master, let us take a look at the little babies. Let's watch them quietly, so we won't disturb them. Really."

The servant squatted in front of the cat's nest and refused to budge.

Brown Sugar's claws were sharpened viciously on the ground, "You live here in my house, eat my food, and sleep in my bed. I want to see your family and I won't let you! You won't let me Get over it, and I won’t make it easy for you either! You spit out everything I ate from you..."

Lingdong solstice can't laugh or cry.He watched the excitement for a long time and couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurried over to act as a peacemaker.First, I touched the fried brown sugar head twice, and then discussed with the servants, "I'll pinch its neck and let them take a sneak peek before avoiding it, okay?"

The servant hesitated for a moment, then nodded reluctantly.

Brown Tang was suddenly excited, and when he pressed his paws on the ground, he was about to run over, but was caught by Ling Dongzhi with quick eyesight and quick hands.Brown Tang had no choice but to hold back his temper and sneak over to take a look.The cat's litter was placed in the storage room, and the light was already dim, but He Qing put a blanket on top of the cat's litter, making it even darker.Brown Tang's eyes widened, but he could only see a bunch of small things wriggling there. He was dragged back by Ling Dongzhi without seeing its head or feet.As soon as they vacated the space, Xiao Hui and Xiao Xiang'er immediately filled it up, and the two cats gathered together and carefully looked in.

Brown Sugar was dissatisfied, "They took longer to watch than me!"

Ling Dongzhi rubbed its ears, "Cherry is feeling very uncomfortable right now, and it won't be able to rest well if you keep squeezing it there. If it doesn't rest well, there will be no milk, and the cubs will be hungry."

"That's it..." Brown Tang tilted his head and thought for a while, if this is the case, it seems that it is not unforgivable for the servant to stop them desperately.

Ling Dongzhi called Xiao Hui and Xiao Yang back, and closed the door of the storage room.He Qing said that Cherry can only feel safe in a remote and dimly lit corner.It needs a good rest.

Satisfied with their curiosity, the few big hairy balls gathered together and muttered contentedly.Ling Dongzhi took the mobile phone and read the text messages sent by Murong Xiaoqi several times, wondering what this person meant.

"Winter Solstice, let's have dinner together tonight. At 06:30, I will wait for you in Room 901 on the third floor of Xinghai Hotel."

Ling Dongzhi felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.He felt that he and Brother Murong should not be regarded as outsiders. If Murong Xiaoqi really had something to do, why couldn't he just say it on the phone, and instead put on a... a posture to deal with outsiders?In Ling Dongzhi's impression, only when there is something to ask for someone who is not familiar with him, he will treat guests with wine, and then take advantage of the good atmosphere after the wine to make a request.

Ling Dongzhi didn't want to imagine Murong Xiaoqi treating himself as an outsider.Then there is only one possibility, what Murong Xiaoqi is going to ask him is a very serious matter, or something very, very important to him.It was so important that Murong Xiaoqi didn't dare to be careless.

Ling Dongzhi hesitated for a moment, and replied a text message: OK, see you tonight.

When Ling Dongzhi arrived at the hotel, Murong Xiaoqi had already arrived one step ahead.Sitting on the sofa in the private room, watching TV boredly, his straight eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if he was worried.Hearing the sound of the door, he turned his head subconsciously, and his slightly distracted vision became clear instantly after meeting Ling Dongzhi.

"Winter Solstice, you are here."

Ling Dongzhi turned his gaze, "Where is Xiao Liu?"

"He's on duty in the store." Murong Qing stood up and made a "please" gesture, signaling him to come to the table.A few exquisite cold dishes were already placed on the large round table with a glass countertop, and a three or four inch high wine bottle stood beside it. There was no label on it, so it was impossible to tell what kind of wine it was.

"This is the wine I brought from my hometown," Murong said with a light smile, "You must have never tasted it."

Ling Dongzhi now somewhat believes what Qingshu said, Murong Qing really has a kind of sophistication and ease in dealing with people that he can't see through.This is something that Ling Dongzhi has never been able to learn, perhaps because he grew up in a too tolerant environment, so he doesn't need to cover everything.But Murong Xiaoqi is different...

He is indeed different from himself.

Ling Dongzhi suddenly felt a little soft-hearted, and the little grudge against Murong Xiaoqi disappeared.If you think about it differently, maybe only by following Xiao Qi's familiar way of doing things, he will feel safe and secure, and feel that all developments are under his control.

Ling Dongzhi sighed secretly in his heart, sat down and picked up the menu.Looking at Murong Qing's posture, he must be waiting for him to order.Sure enough, seeing him pick up the menu, Murong Xiaoqi's brows unconsciously twitched.Ling Dongzhi ordered a few dishes, asked the waiter to drink wine, and then pretended not to care and asked him, "What have you been up to these days?"

Murong Qing is a very smart person, he has learned to read words and expressions from a very young age.With just one sentence, he already understood that what he was doing today was not suitable for him.Murong smiled self-deprecatingly, reached out to take the wine bottle and poured it for both of them.

"Dong Zhi, don't worry about it." He pushed the wine glass in front of Ling Dong Zhi, and looked at him slightly apologetically, "I know you don't treat our brothers as outsiders. But I didn't invite you out today because I want cigarettes and alcohol Open the way, but this matter is difficult to handle, I need a quiet and undisturbed environment to have a good talk with you and ask you for an idea."

The expression between Ling Dongzhi's brows and eyes softened, "Say it."

Murong Qing's long and slender fingers tapped lightly on the table twice, as if it was a bit difficult to say.

Ling Dongzhi sighed, "Say it straight. If I can help, I will definitely help."

Murong twitched the corner of his mouth lightly, revealing the dimples on his cheeks, and then disappeared again.Ling Dongzhi had the illusion of being dazzled, and said with a straight face: "Don't laugh! Don't try to seduce!"

Murong was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.

The slightly awkward atmosphere between the two people also became harmonious because of this small episode.Murong sat up straight, looked straight at Ling Dongzhi and said earnestly: "Dongzhi, I plan to open a shop in Antique Street."

"Antique Street?" Ling Dongzhi was stunned for a moment, did Xiao Qi learn the skills of the Murong family?

Murong nodded lightly, "Buying and selling antiques."

Ling Dongzhi pondered for a while, "If you apply according to the amount of the business loan..."

"It's not about the money." Murong Qing quickly interrupted him, "I've already prepared the funds. But I lack a solid background. You also know my background. If I open a store outside at this time , the Murong family will not let me go. I don't want to cause trouble - the Murong family also has property here, and the news is very well-informed."

Ling Dongzhi immediately understood, "You want to put your store under someone else's name?"

Murong nodded lightly.

This matter sounds very risky.The money was taken out, but all the supporting documents in the store were in someone else's name.If something really happened, he would have nothing to reason with.But it is even more dangerous to use his own identity to open a store. Young people from other places, with such a big deal, will inevitably not be targeted by those who want to.

"I understand what you mean." Ling Dongzhi also felt that this matter was very difficult, "but I can't. My parents can check it out. And I just used my own funds to set up a fund some time ago. , Many people know it. If I spend money to open a store at this juncture, a fool will know that there is a problem."

Murong listened to him lightly, and knew that he didn't try to evade intentionally, so he was a little embarrassed for a while, "Then what should we do?"

Ling Dongzhi went through the people he trusted one by one in his mind.Zhuang Zhou is the No. 1 choice. His family background is there, and I am an executive of the Zhuang Group, and I have some overseas investment business in my hand.It is reasonable to say that a sum of money is used to do antique business.But the only problem is that everyone around Zhuang Zhou knows that he is not interested in antiques, and he never goes to auctions.He suddenly changed his temper and wanted to open an antique shop. Those who are familiar with him will inevitably feel a little weird.

The second candidate in Ling Dongzhi's mind is Cheng Anni.She has been managing the fund from the very beginning, and Ling Dongzhi trusts her very much.She is the wife of the president of the Zhuang family, her status should not be underestimated, and women seem to be naturally obsessed with things like jewelry and jade. If it is said that she likes antiques, it makes sense.The only problem is that the relationship between her and Murong Qing is too far away, they are complete strangers, there is no reason for them to take risks for someone they don't know.

Ling Dongzhi thought about it, went through the rich and powerful acquaintances he knew one by one in his mind, and felt that many of them were suitable, but after careful consideration, he felt that everyone had hidden dangers of one kind or another.Murong Qing himself said that he was on guard against people from the Murong family, and if people from this big family came to cause trouble, I'm afraid ordinary people really couldn't solve it.

Ling Dongzhi thought about it, and was quite hesitant for a while.

Murong Qing didn't rush him, but just took the serving chopsticks to help him pick up the food.

Ling Dongzhi watched him put a chopstick of sea cucumber into his plate, and suddenly there was a ding in his mind, and a person who loved to eat sea cucumber and was very suitable to help him jumped out.

Ling Dongzhi grabbed Murong Qing's wrist and squeezed it, and said excitedly: "I've thought of a suitable person. But I can't tell if he will help you now. Give me a few days and I'll go find out. "

Murong Qing also became happy, "What kind of person?"

"With a family background and a background," Ling Dongzhi said with a smile: "You are not afraid of trouble, and you will not covet someone with a family like yours."

Murong Qing became more and more curious, "Who?"

"Let me keep it a secret first." Ling Dongzhi patted his arm emotionally, "I hope I can convince him to really help you."

Murong smiled lightly, "Okay, then I will thank you first."
