unruly

A long night.

The next day was sunny, and it was indeed hotter than yesterday. The sun came out early in the morning, and the leaves of the trees on both sides of the street were curled and drooping.The financial city became extremely busy around seven o'clock, and the nearby roads were blocked by long queues. The office workers rushed here early in the morning, and everyone was in a hurry.

M&F Studio currently has two stores. The large store is located at the East Street of the commercial center. It is mainly used for exhibitions and business operations. It has a large area and high-grade decoration. The old store is located across the street. An old store handed down from the Ming family, a small three-storey bungalow with architectural characteristics of the 90s, mainly used for design and backup work, not far from Yulin Garden, less than 10 minutes by car.

Ming Shu often went to the old store, and stayed there for most of the day.

She woke up late this morning, and she went out with a stack of design drawings at mid-morning, and it was almost ten o'clock when she arrived at the store.

The first floor of the old store is the display and rest area, which is used for daily reception of customers. The second and third floors are the working areas. Mingshu's office is located on the west side of the third floor. The interior is spacious and grand, taking up half a floor.

The size of the studio is not too big, but there are dozens of designers and employees in various departments. When they saw her coming, everyone cheered up to work and shouted "Boss" and "Hello, Boss" .

The assistant and secretary were already waiting upstairs, and as soon as Mingshu arrived at the office, they went in one after another to report the task summary and submit various materials to her.

Ming Shu has always been clear about it, and she puts her heart into it when she comes, and will not bring her personal emotions to the studio.

The secretary handed over a few documents for signing, brought a cup of coffee on the table, and informed the day's arrangements in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, including going to Tianhe West Road to meet a partner later, and having a meeting in the afternoon, etc.

"Mr. Pei from Tianyun Fashion wants to meet with you. He called in the morning and said that the time can be set here. Look..."

Ming Shu turned a page, "I don't have time, find a reason to push it down."

The secretary changed his words immediately: "I'll deal with it right away."

"The next time you have something like this, just refuse it directly, don't waste time, come to me after screening." Ming Shu said, a little coldly.

The secretary paused, knowing that this was not done well, and was criticized in disguise.

Mingshu took a pen from the table and signed in the lower left corner of the document, "In the next week, focus on Jiahe's movements, make preparations for contacts, serve snacks, and leave unimportant work to Xiao Jiang."

The secretary nodded, "Yes."

The morning is the most tiring. There are employees coming and going in and out of the office, and it's noon after finishing the work in one breath.

Ming Shu went out for a trip, and he left for three or four hours. When he came back, it was the hottest time in the second half of the day. The sun shone directly on the glass, making people's eyes hurt.

Fan Chuyu arrived at the old store, stopped by to have a look, carelessly carried a paper bag up to the third floor, and headed straight for the office.She is a partner of the studio and an old friend of Mingshu. She has known her for more than ten years. She is usually in charge of the management of the big store. She is only 34 years old this year, but her family is rich and she can earn a lot of money. rich woman.

I don't know what good things happened to me, Mr. Fan is in a good mood today, he smiles when he sees everyone, and even greets the employees, not to mention how friendly he is.She opened the door and entered the office without knocking, put the paper bag in front of Mingshu, sat comfortably on the chair, and said, "You're welcome."

Ming Shu only glanced at it, "What is it?"

"For food, handmade sesame candy." Fan Chuyu said, "Our family made it with Guoer, so I must bring you a copy."

Guo'er, Fan Chuyu's little niece.

Ming Shu put away the materials, deliberately not giving face, "No need, you keep it for yourself."

"Don't," Fan Chuyu said hastily, "I came here specially to deliver candies this time, and you are too heartless."

Ming Shu glanced at her.

Fan Chuyu was thick-skinned, and pushed the paper bag forward without eyesight, "Try it quickly."

Ming Shu was still indifferent, "Speak directly if you have something to say."

Fan Chuyu laughed: "It's okay."

Ming Shu opened the paper bag and gave her a contract, "Look at this."

The other party is serious now, restrain yourself a little.

"What's the matter, what's the problem?" Fan Chuyu asked, flipping through it casually.

"Not yet," Mingshu said, "check it for me when you have time, and sign it later."

Fan Chuyu raised his eyebrows, "It's so serious, I thought it was wrong."

Mingshu didn't answer, and picked up the paper bag and put it on the corner of the table, "Is there no business on East Street?"

"Yes, Amin and the others are taking care of it."

"Did Mr. Zhou contact you?"

"It's all done, don't worry."

When we meet, we talk about the store, which is the usual opening. These are the most common things we talk about when we meet, after all, it is a cooperative relationship.

The two are in charge of two stores, so they have to match the progress of both sides.

Fan Chuyu is more reliable, she loves to chatter, she is meticulous in her actions, she has already taken care of all aspects, so there is no need to worry at all.

When the chat was almost over, Fan Chuyu suddenly asked, "How is AURORA going?"

Ming Shu said softly: "It's not good, there's no progress."

The other party intentionally or unintentionally asked: "Did Zhuang Qinian look for you alone?"

Ming Shu did not deny it.

Fan Chuyu asked again: "What are the conditions?"

Ming Shu didn't hide anything, "Let me take someone with me."

After a moment of silence, Fan Chuyu said, "His niece?"

Ming Shu was quite calm, "You can sign as a part-time model."

As soon as he heard it, he understood what was going on, and Fan Chuyu pointed it out directly: "So I want you to be a bad person and help his family discipline the children."

"Twenty, not young, and studying in a local university." Ming Shu got up, and poured a cup of tea for him, "It's not a discipline, it's not in that position."

Fan Chuyu leaned on the backrest and turned around, "Aren't they all the same, there is no difference."

"That's all he asks, otherwise he won't let go."

"Nonsense, you still believe it."

Ming Shu didn't explain, and passed the tea over.

Fan Chuyu didn't raise his hand, just sat still, "Do you understand that child?"

"Only the information." Ming Shu said.

"I've seen her a few times. She is tall, thin, and really pretty. She is a good candidate for a model, but she has a real personality..." Fan Chuyu continued after deliberation, and paused for a moment, "It's too aggressive, it's hard to serve. "

Ming Shu didn't particularly care, "We'll see when the time comes."

Fan Chuyu said: "Do you still remember what happened at the Xijing company dinner a year ago?

Ming Shu hummed, everything was clear.

"You can't cure it." Fan Chuyu said slowly.

The two have different views and have their own concerns.

Ming Shu didn't argue and listened, but he didn't agree.

Knowing that she has made up her mind and will not change it easily, Fan Chuyu just persuades her a few words and will not force her to change her mind.

About to leave, Fan Chuyu changed the subject and said, "Lao Cao and the others have a party tonight, are you going?"

Ming Shu nodded, "Go."

"The old place, nine o'clock."

"Okay, be there on time."

Fan Chuyu won't be too wordy, so I'll accept it here, "See you tonight."

Mingshu watched her go out.

The rest of the time was relatively easy, with the sun slanting towards the west day by day, the afterglow fell into the window sill, and drew a blurred line on the ground.

On the three floors of the bungalow, employees are constantly coming in and out, the boss is still there, and the atmosphere is sombre near the end of get off work. No one is lazy or ready to leave in advance, and they all stay at their posts honestly and work hard.

Ming Shu went around the second floor and told Assistant Shen to call and make an appointment for a high-end restaurant, which will be needed later.

Assistant Shen moved quickly, and finished the matter while she was downstairs, and drove this person back later.

It was only five or six o'clock, and there were not many people in Yulin Garden, and there were only security guards in the underground parking lot.

Mingshu entered the elevator alone, and pressed the button for the eighteenth floor.

She was the only one who entered from the underground parking lot. The elevator door closed, and it went up slowly, stopping before the speed increased.

"Ding--"

The door opened.

There are still people waiting on the first floor.

Mingshu raised her eyes subconsciously, and saw the person outside at a glance.

She is a thin girl, tall, with curly hair and shoulder-length hair. She is dressed in a cool and casual style. She wears a pure black tube top and loose blue suspender jeans. The left shoulder strap is down, and she is slender. The waist is exposed, and a pair of long legs are straight, rustic and familiar.The girl was carrying a cyan crossbody bag, dark green earphones around her neck, and a peaked cap and a mask. The brim of the hat was pressed down so low that she couldn't see her original appearance, only her eye sockets were quite deep. The eyebrows are more three-dimensional.

It's a hot day, this outfit is too strange, Ming Shu couldn't help but look at it more.

The girl was fiddling with her mobile phone, all her thoughts were on the screen, she stepped in without turning her head to look at the people in the elevator, and without pressing the floor button.She was playing a game, and her slender and distinct fingers moved quickly.

Thinking it was a resident of another floor, Ming Shu kindly wanted to help, and asked softly, "Which floor?"

As if she didn't hear it, the girl didn't say a word, she still lowered her head to operate the phone interface, as if she was addicted to it and couldn't extricate herself.

The elevator doors closed again and began to ascend.

Ming Shu turned his head to look over, and asked again: "Which floor is it?"

Only then did the girl react, but she only took a second or two out of the game, raised her eyelids to look at the display screen, and then looked away.

Too alienated and indifferent to be with each other.

Being completely ignored, Ming Shu didn't talk too much anymore, and didn't care.

Some people are just like this, they just ignore each other, there is no need to get close.

No one came up halfway, and the numbers on the display changed rapidly.

7, 8, 9...

When you reach the No.15 floor, the game on your phone is over.

The curly-haired girl said in a low voice, "The 18th floor."

Ming Shu tilted his head to look at her, a little surprised.

The girl put away her mobile phone, casually threw it into her messenger bag, met Shang Mingshu's gaze, and said indifferently, "I was not free just now."

"Ding--"

When we reached the eighteenth floor, the elevator opened automatically.

Without waiting for a response, the girl went out as soon as she raised her long legs, and said as she walked, "Thank you."

The gates of the two houses are facing each other, and when they get out of the elevator, they go to each other.

Ming Shu also went out, reached the door, and glanced back.

It was still a bit slower, with a soft bang, the girl had already entered the room, and she couldn't even see her back.
