There is only crispy noodles in the circle [entertainment circle]

Cheng Lingyun didn't care about other things, so he hurried to find Zhong Qin, just as Zhong Qin was preparing for the second live broadcast, the small study was full of potato chips, Zhong Qin lay on it and asked Xiao Shengsheng to take pictures of her for publicity.

"What are you doing?"

Cheng Lingyun saw that there was a mobile phone on the side, so he walked over and blocked the camera with his hands.

"We are being followed, don't expose information on the Internet."

"what?"

Zhong Qin got up from a pile of potato chip bags: "Who? We are being followed by who?"

"A person who practices Japanese Yin and Yang Dao may be a ghost car, or he may be a subordinate of a ghost car."

"So fast?" Zhong Qin's expression suddenly became serious: "We were discovered? How did we get discovered?"

"We are in the light, and the ghost car is in the dark. The incident in the old house is such a big mess. The ghost car has a heart, and we will definitely be able to find clues."

Cheng Lingyun glanced at the mobile phone next to the pile of potato chips: "I still don't know whether what happened last night was only aimed at me or all of us. Just in case, Zhong Qin, please don't reveal your whereabouts recently. Let's think about it first." A way to prevent the ghost car from finding you."

Xiao Shengsheng asked: "What happened last night? What happened? Didn't you go home yesterday?"

"Later I went to the July [-]th Bookstore. After returning home, my father told me that someone had put Maofu on me. I didn't pay attention at the time. I thought it was Ming Rong's trick again, so I ran to find Ming Rong. , in front of her house, I found a very strange lamp—”

Cheng Lingyun didn't want to tell others about what happened in the middle, so he skipped it: "I was like being bewitched, and my whole body was unconscious. I didn't feel something was wrong until I got hurt. Later Mingrong also told me , It’s not a lamp in front of the bookstore, it should be something hiding in front of the bookstore to watch me, as for the mao talisman on my body, it doesn’t come from him, but a talisman from the Yin-Yang Taoist school.”

Xiao Shengsheng was a little scared: "What you said...is it a ghost, is it a ghost following you?"

Zhong Qin shook his head: "It's not a ghost, it should be a shikigami, but such big eyes, I don't know what it was refined from, and—"

And even Cheng Lingyun couldn't find out.

She and Cheng Lingyun looked at each other, and they both chose to shut up.Xiao Shengsheng is an ordinary person, and these dangers hidden in the dark may affect her life.

Zhong Qin dismissed Xiao Shengsheng on the pretext of wanting to eat.

"Can you go see Hikaru Tanaka? We can only start with him now. If he has nothing to do with the ghost car, we can find other clues as soon as possible."

Cheng Lingyun was also thinking about meeting Tanaka Hikaru for a while, she said: "I'll make arrangements, just try to meet him in these two days, before we find out the situation, you and Xiao Shengsheng must pay attention to safety, especially Xiao Shengsheng. Shengsheng, you must protect her."

"I know."

Zhong Qin asked Cheng Lingyun to leave a seal on the door of the house: "We try not to go out or see outsiders these two days, and I will tell Tong Qiuming later to make him be as careful as possible."

Cheng Lingyun acted very quickly. After returning to the company, he immediately sent a letter to the transferor's C City Village Committee in the name of the company, hoping to organize an inspection meeting and invite several developers who are interested in the land of the ancient house to attend.

Due to the mistaken status of Lingtian Real Estate, the suggestion of this inspection meeting soon became a reality. Officials from City C personally came forward and invited all developers to participate.

Hikaru Tanaka is also among them, listed in the column of foreign businessmen.

When he received the invitation letter, Hikaru Tanaka hesitated. He was not familiar with City C, and mainly carried out business activities through investment companies. Logically speaking, coming here should pay homage to a big boss like Cheng Lingyun, but Cheng Lingyun It's a bit special, he tries not to meet her face to face.

After thinking about it, he made a phone call.

It took a long time for the phone to be connected, and a shrill and old voice rang out: "Who is there?"

"Teacher, it's me." Hikaru Tanaka's Chinese is not good, he spoke slowly and with a very respectful attitude, "Teacher, I have received an invitation letter, inviting me to attend the inspection meeting of the land of the ancient house. But I inquired about it, and it seems that this inspection meeting was organized behind the scenes by Cheng Lingyun, the young general manager of Lingtian Real Estate. Take a look, what should I do?"

"It's up to you how to deal with Cheng Lingyun. I'm just giving you some suggestions... If you do what I say, and she doesn't come to you so quickly, what are you doing?"

old fox.Hikaru Tanaka cursed inwardly, but his tone was still respectful on the surface; "I didn't do anything, I just followed her to see what she was doing... It took me a lot of effort, she is difficult to deal with."

"Then what has she been doing lately?"

"She often goes to a July [-]th bookstore. The proprietress of that bookstore has a lot of knowledge and often buys and sells some penis."

"I know that place, Wang Jinfeng used to deal with that woman a lot."

The person called the teacher let out a few sarcastic laughs on the other end of the phone.

"So you followed her for a few days and found out about this? It took a lot of effort. You should know the Wang Jinfeng I just mentioned, right? Do you know how he died—it was because he was too curious about the ancient house , and didn’t listen to my advice, took the living soul raised to the old house, and kept messing with the owner of the July [-]th Bookstore, and finally caused these disasters. Is he able to touch the things in the old house? If you don't listen to me, you will lose your soul in the end..."

The man mocked and sneered, Tian Zhongguang was angry, but he could only bear it, and said in a low voice that he was wrong, and he must listen to the teacher's advice next time.

"You can trust me, that's the best. When I get the land, I will give you more suggestions, including what you want——Okay, let's go back to Cheng Lingyun."

"What do you suggest?"

"When will that visit be?"

"Five days later."

"You promise to come down first, and we'll talk about whether you will go or not when the time comes."

Tian Zhongguang said: "But Cheng Lingyun... If she doesn't go, will she come to her door by herself? It will be very difficult to deal with."

The man said: "Cheng Lingyun has always been meddling in my own business. Instead of avoiding her, it's better to let her have no time to meddle in these meddling matters—the proprietress of the July [-] Bookstore is Sima Mingrong. With the surname Sima, you are so interested in witchcraft." Interesting, it’s impossible not to have heard of this surname, right?”

Tian Zhongguang said: "Sima...is he a descendant of that witchcraft family?"

The man said: "The Sima family respects women, especially there is a kind of woman who keeps chastity//cleanness all her life. This kind of woman is the most honored and powerful in the family. The Sima family and the Cheng family have old grievances. Holding Cheng Lingyun back is naturally creating an enemy for her."

Hikaru Tanaka suddenly realized: "Teacher, you are so wise!"

The man coughed a few times: "Don't flatter me, these are useless... As long as you follow my advice, it will definitely benefit you."

Hikaru Tanaka asked: "Then teacher... can you tell me what is in the old house? My grandfather died here, and my grandmother told me that before leaving Japan, he only said that there is a very powerful thing here. , I don’t know exactly what it is.”

The man's tone suddenly turned cold: "You will know when you get the land. Well, I'm tired, let's talk."

Before Tanaka could ask any more questions, he hung up the phone. When Tanaka heard a beep from the other side, he was so angry that he smashed the phone.

"Don't tell me? If you don't tell me, I'll check it myself!"

"Open the door, it's me."

On the second day after leaving the July [-]th Bookstore, Cheng Lingyun came to apologize as promised.Yesterday Mingrong was angry all day, didn't eat well or sleep well, got up late today, when Cheng Lingyun came to knock on the door, Mingrong was still awake, Cheng Lingyun was worried that something happened to her, so he asked his subordinates to pry the door open, I went in and took a look, only to find that Ming Rong was still sleeping.

Cheng Lingyun was a little embarrassed, and even more embarrassed than Cheng Lingyun was her subordinates, who faltered and said "I'm waiting outside", and then quickly slipped out.

Cheng Lingyun stopped him.

"Fix the door."

Cheng Lingyun said this as if she didn't decide to pry the door open.

"Be quiet and find a reliable locksmith." Cheng Lingyun pulled the soft chair and decided to sit down and wait for Mingrong to get up.

This waited until two o'clock in the afternoon.Mingrong was still a little confused when he opened the door of the room, but when Cheng Lingyun yelled, he was shocked, and ran back to the room to close the door without saying a word.

She took the shawl from the hanger and put it on, and said angrily towards the door: "Cheng Lingyun, how did you come in!"

Cheng Lingyun remained silent outside the door.

Ming Rong hastily combed his hair and washed his face.She is a woman who loves beauty very much, and she will never let others see her disheveled clothes, messy hair, no make-up, and no face wash, especially a bright and charming beauty like Cheng Lingyun.

When she finished grooming and went out, there was another large table of breakfast on the table.This time it was Cantonese-style morning tea, and the steamer was still steaming, so it looked like it had just been delivered.

However, the delicious food didn't move Ming Rong's heart. She asked Cheng Lingyun, "How did you get in here?"

Cheng Lingyun didn't want to talk about this topic at all, she arranged the bowls and chopsticks for Mingrong as usual, and pulled the stool for her to sit down.

"Let's eat first, and we'll talk after we finish."

Mingrong folded his arms and looked at her coldly.

Cheng Lingyun said, "He broke in through the door."

"????"

Cheng Lingyun was so calm, without any sense of shame, Ming Rong thought he had heard wrong.

"Can you say that again??"

"Break the door and come in."

Seeing that Mingrong was not moving, Cheng Lingyun took the initiative to grab a shrimp dumpling for her: "This shrimp dumpling is pretty good, it's all freshly made, it's different from the frozen ones outside—"

"Cheng Lingyun, you are breaking into a private house!"

Ming Rongcai didn't care how delicious the Shrimp Dumpling King was, stepped on her slippers and walked towards the door. As expected, she saw the scene that made her extremely angry-the vase decoration carefully arranged in her entrance was moved to the ground, and the beloved carpet was also hung up. At the edge of the small fish pond, several locksmiths were knocking around the door, and one person was studying the lock while shaking his head: "Your requirements are too high. This door was repaired yesterday, and the mimeograph on the lock is still there." It’s too embarrassing for us to repair it intact above.”

Cheng Lingyun's subordinates were still encouraging them: "Master, we all know that you are the most powerful locksmiths in this city. Feel free to ask for any tools you want, and the price is not a problem. Mr. Cheng means that you must make this locksmith fix it."

"You don't need to fix it."

Mingrong was already in a bad mood, but seeing the door he just repaired yesterday was broken again, his mood got even worse.

"Let's go!"

She unceremoniously issued the eviction order, and Cheng Lingyun's subordinates saw her get angry, so they had to ask a few locksmiths to leave, Cheng Lingyun came out and asked, "What's going on?"

"You go too!"

Mingrong said angrily: "I told you yesterday, I asked you to think about how to apologize before you come again, but you are better off, if you don't apologize, you don't say anything, and if you don't say anything, you smash my door again! What do you think of me! You have Never respected me!"

"Sorry, it is my fault."

When Cheng Lingyun said this, her subordinates were dumbfounded.

Cheng Lingyun is the proud daughter of the sky. She has been blessed since she was a child, and has had a smooth journey from school to career. She has never bowed her head to others, and now she is so humbly apologetic.

The one who was apologized didn't buy it at all, and wanted to rush Cheng Lingyun out.

"Then I'm leaving, you eat well, I'll leave you a phone number, call this number after you finish eating, and someone will come to clean up."

"roll!"

Mingrong didn't give Cheng Lingyun any good looks, and turned back to the room.

Cheng Lingyun sighed, with a look of helplessness on his face.

She doesn't know how to apologize...

In addition to thinking about how to lure Tanaka Hikaru and how to solve the troublesome things in the company, she also seriously considered how to apologize to Mingrong.Cheng Lingyun also knew how extreme what she did last night, even if she was bewitched, she must bear the price she should pay for this matter.But just like what Zhong Qin said, Mingrong seems to have nothing lacking. She is rich, beautiful, and capable. Apart from defeating her own wish, she probably has no other ideas.

Cheng Lingyun would never abolish the talisman inherited from the Cheng family just because of Ming Rong's words, he only wanted to eat and chat with his little girlfriend as he used to coax his little girlfriend.Sometimes she also thinks that it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy. If Mingrong is not so hostile to her, if she can have some bottom line in doing things, they will probably become good partners.

When Cheng Lingyun was about to leave, he went out of the window to have a look. Inside the shutters, Ming Rong was already seated, eating the meal she had prepared, and felt that his thoughts might be right.No matter if it is a little girlfriend or a woman like Mingrong who has followed the way of heaven, she always hopes that someone will accompany her and take care of her. Mingrong is just too proud, and today she cares a lot. She smashed Mingrong's door, and she got angry. .

Cheng Lingyun is going to change the way - she won't come in person tomorrow, after coming here several times to meet Mingrong, she finds that Mingrong seems to be upside down day and night, with no regularity in her daily life.She thought it was probably because Mingrong didn't go to work and there was no one at home to cook, so she asked the hotel to arrange dinner and afternoon tea every morning, noon and evening, and deliver them for Mingrong.

Of course, she is also ready to apologize - she copied the daily recipes by hand, she practiced good handwriting, and used Piaoyin's card to copy them neatly, and sent them to July [-]th together with these delicacies Japanese Bookstore.Every morning, she still didn't forget to send a bouquet of flowers. She saw that Ming Rong loved flowers, and the vase at the entrance was replaced with the freshest flowers every day.

Cheng Lingyun's subordinates didn't understand. Cheng Lingyun's apology was like chasing someone. It was full of flowers and delicious food. He didn't know what happened between the two, but it seemed that Mingrong didn't forgive so easily. Cheng Lingyun.

Too bad he guessed wrong.

Three days later, Mingrong called and told Cheng Lingyun not to send anything there.

"I forgive you." These flowers and delicacies made Mingrong a little annoyed. She was used to living a free and undisciplined life. She could do whatever she wanted every day, when she woke up and when she ate, she could do whatever she wanted. Every morning, she is woken up by flowers and delicacies on time, and she eats on time at noon and night. Even in the first night, she will start to guess what flowers will be received the next day, and what dishes will be delivered by the restaurant.

"Ah."

Cheng Lingyun didn't say much, Mingrong said again: "I forgive you, I don't really forgive you, I just hate that someone interferes in my life by apologizing to me."

Cheng Lingyun said: "I did not interfere with your life, I sincerely apologize to you."

Mingrong said: "Then I'll ask you something, you answer me yes or no, if you are sincere, then tell me."

Cheng Lingyun asked: "What's the matter?"

She thought that Mingrong wanted to ask about the ancient house, but she didn't expect Mingrong to say: "At seven o'clock tonight, in Muqing courtyard, I'll treat you and have an interview."

Cheng Lingyun hesitated for a moment, then agreed: "That's it."

She asked her secretary to postpone the evening dinner party to prepare for the appointment, but she didn't expect Zhong Qin to call when she was about to leave work.

"The big thing is bad!" Zhong Qin was a little anxious on the phone, "Do you still remember the designer I met in the film and television city who practiced Luban script?"

"I know, what's wrong?"

Zhong Qin said: "She was also attacked... the matter is a bit complicated, she is fine, there is nothing serious, but there are other things that need to be resolved, Xiao Shengsheng and I are preparing to go there, you can go together, more people Multiple ideas."

Cheng Lingyun suddenly raised his heart. Tomorrow is the inspection meeting, and Tian Zhongguang also agreed to attend the appointment. Who would have thought that something would happen the day before that.

"I'll be right there, let's find a place to meet up. You and Xiao Shengsheng keep a low profile and don't attract other people's attention."

"I know."

The situation was urgent, and Cheng Lingyun couldn't go to the appointment, and she didn't have Mingrong's phone number, so she asked her secretary to go to the appointment instead, apologizing to Mingrong.

After getting off work, the secretary went to see Mingrong with an apology gift from Cheng Lingyun, but he didn't see Mingrong when he arrived at Muqing's courtyard.

The foreman asked: "Are you looking for Miss Mingrong? Miss Mingrong left 10 minutes ago."

The secretary asked: "Leaving? Did she say what to do?"

The foreman said: "I don't know, she just left, but the private room is still there, why don't you wait?"

The secretary had no choice but to wait for Ming Rong in the private room. The waiter came in several times and asked him if he wanted to serve food. Unfortunately, the secretary still didn't wait for Ming Rong until the store was about to close.

He had to report the situation to Cheng Lingyun.

Mingrong has a big temper, and it's not impossible to not want to see him temporarily. Cheng Lingyun originally wanted the secretary to go to the July [-] Bookstore, but then he thought about the last time he was worried about her accident and smashed the door, so he decided to Give up this idea.

Mingrong is not an ordinary person, she has enough ability to protect herself.

But she didn't expect that Ming Rong had a weakness.

This weakness was born in her bones, and she couldn't get rid of it for the rest of her life. It also made her leave her hometown and come to this strange city, entangled with the owner of this name for a lifetime.Today, she actually arrived at Mu Qing's courtyard early. She originally planned to take advantage of Cheng Lingyun's shame and ask Cheng Lingyun to help her make a big deal, but she received a call from Cheng Lingyun.

She was also curious as to why Cheng Lingyun had his own phone.But that voice was clearly Cheng Lingyun.

"I have something to do temporarily." Cheng Lingyun's tone today was not as unapproachable as usual, "Find a place closer to the company."

Mingrong said angrily, "I'm the one who treats you to dinner, why are you picking and choosing?"

"Sorry, I didn't expect to be so busy at work today."

The other party seemed to be sure that Mingrong liked to hear Cheng Lingyun apologize, and kept saying "I'm sorry", which made Mingrong unable to lose his temper.

"I ordered a table of dishes." Mingrong snorted coldly, "Let me come near your company? Yes, I will come, but after you finish working overtime, you still want to eat this table of dishes. I don't want to owe you favors, this The dishes on the table are considered to be repaying the favor you gave me a few days ago."

Cheng Lingyun readily agreed: "Then you come."

She reported the address of a coffee shop, and it was indeed near the Lingtian Real Estate Building. Mingrong didn't intend to check out the room, so he took his bag and left.

There are always many petty bourgeois coffee shops in the city center. They are hidden from the world. Although they are in the core business district of the city, it is difficult to find them.After Mingrong got off the car, he found this coffee shop named Smile after wasting some time.

When she opened the door, she found it was pitch black inside.

"What are you doing, you don't turn on the lights for business?"

While she was fumbling for the lights on the wall, a light under her feet suddenly turned on.

One, two, countless flames suddenly sprang up from the ground and spread to the depths of the coffee shop.

She took a closer look, but found that those flames turned out to look like stars in the sky.

Astrology is one of Mingrong's specialties, and it was these stars that accompanied her through the long nights in those lonely years when she was young.She was touched in her heart for a moment, but her mouth was not forgiving.

"Cheng Lingyun, don't think I'll forgive you for playing tricks on you."

"But didn't you forgive me?"

The rattan ball lights on the surrounding walls lit up, allowing Mingrong to barely see the layout of this cafe—there are only six booths in this cafe, and Cheng Lingyun is sitting in the innermost booth, watching with a smile on his face. For her, besides two candlesticks, there are red wine and various cold foods on the table.

"come on."

Cheng Lingyun stood up and stretched out his hand towards Mingrong.She glanced at Mingrong's feet: "Are you wearing high heels?"

Ming Rong frowned: "What shoes do you have to do with you?"

"Of course it has something to do with it. There are so many candlesticks here, it's inconvenient for you to walk over in high heels."

Cheng Lingyun propped his chin: "Do you need me to come and hug you?"

"No, thanks!"

Mingrong lifted up her skirt, stepped on her high heels and nimbly passed through the candlesticks, and walked to the nearest booth.

Cheng Lingyun pulled out a large bouquet of flowers from under his feet like a magic trick.

"It's for you."

In the candlelight, Cheng Lingyun's voice melted softly: "Can you forgive me now?"

Mingrong was stunned for a moment.

She never thought that Cheng Lingyun specially asked her to come here because he wanted to prepare a candlelight dinner to make amends.

But soon, she was relieved. With her chin resting on both hands, Cheng Lingyun showed a charming smile.

"What? Use these college boys to pursue girlfriends to fool me? I am so easy to fool?"

It was obviously a questioning tone, but when it came out of Mingrong's mouth, it was sweet and soft.

"Hey, Mr. Cheng, are you in a good mood?"

Cheng Lingyun poured a glass of wine for Mingrong: "Although these methods are vulgar, countless practices have proved that they are the most effective. Otherwise, you wouldn't have walked in and had dinner with me."

"So, what on earth did you call me here today?"

Ming Rong leaned back on the back of the chair, she took the glass of wine in Cheng Ling Yun's hand, the dark red wine slowly swayed with her movements.

"Have a light meal, if you like, then we have another time."

Ming Rong chuckled lightly.

"I quite like it here."

Mingrong looked around and said, "Actually, I like the night better than the day, probably because I have adapted to this kind of life since I was a child... Speaking of which, Mr. Cheng is really good at capturing people's thoughts. The patterns on the ground, It's really touching... No wonder Mr. Cheng has so many beautiful and lovely ex-girlfriends."

Cheng Lingyun said: "That's all in the past."

She glanced up at Ming Rong and asked, "Since I like it, does that mean I have another time?"

Ming Rong raised his eyebrows: "What do you think?"

Cheng Lingyun said: "It seems that there are."

Mingrong asked: "What do you want? Another candlelight dinner, another flower—"

She picked up the fork, forked a piece of salad in front of her, raised her eyebrows and looked at Cheng Lingyun: "This is, you want to chase me?"

Cheng Lingyun smiled: "It's up to you."

"Let's not talk about that." Ming Rong looked around, "You are really vulgar."

"Tuna salad? Maybe the students like this? Sepak ball lamp? It's something for little girls, this flower is pretty good-it looks like a little thought has been put into it, a petty bourgeoisie cafe, um, barely qualified, after all, this is what you want Atmosphere and setting—to disguise things like—”

Her eyes suddenly became a little sharp, and the fork in her hand turned around and shot towards Cheng Lingyun who was opposite——

"who are you?"

Mingrong and Cheng Lingyun didn't meet many times, but it didn't mean she didn't know Cheng Lingyun.

Even natural enemies, or casual acquaintances, some people knew far more about each other than she could see.

When she was a child, Mingrong's aunt told her that this was a fate in a previous life, and she thought that Cheng Lingyun should have known her well in the previous life, otherwise she wouldn't have gritted her teeth and hated this person the first time they met— This kind of hatred does not come from the responsibility of the family, as if Cheng Lingyun took something away from her in his previous life, and he must repay it in this life.
