Chapter 233: They Looked Very Alike
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
After having dinner at Qiao Liang’s home, Tang Xi went to her studio. The renovation of the studio would take some time, so Tang Xi told Li Manyan and Jin Han not to come to work for now. The company wouldn’t formally start operation until she recruited some more employees. Seeing her so serious about her studio, Qiao Liang smiled. “It’s still early for your company to start operation. Take it easy. Let me send you home, okay?”
Tang Xi shook her head and looked through the design drawings of her studio as she said, “Although the studio has been renovated except that Floor one and Floor Three should be re-renovated, I want to add my favorite elements into the design. Then I’ll feel great when the company officially starts to operate.”
Qiao Liang didn’t say anything more. When they arrived at the Queen, Tang Xi put on the mask and hat and went into the office building to check the progress of the renovation. The workers had been working round the clock, so there were many workers still present when she entered. Tang Xi looked at those who were working hard, and said loudly, “You’re doing a great job! Thank you.”
The workers all looked up at Tang Xi. From her appearance, they could guess she was probably the owner of the company, so they laughed and said, “Never mind. It’s our job.”
Tang Xi smiled. “Thank you. I’ll treat you to a snack tonight.”
Upon hearing her words, the workers worked more energetically and even the young worker handling the cement ran faster.
Tang Xi came out after seeing the Third Floor. Her shoes were covered with dust. Qiao Liang stood in front of the car and looked at her. Tang Xi walked over and said with a smile, “Where did you find these workers? They work really fast, and the design is perfect! I have nothing bad to say about them.”
She thought she would be unsatisfied with their work and there would be a lot that she was unsatisfied with, but after she saw the whole office building, she found her previous worries unnecessary. The workers were really good.
Qiao Liang reached out to rub her hair, and opened the car door for her. After Tang Xi jumped into the car, Qiao Liang went around the front and got in the car from the other side, saying, “I had Little Five find these workers. He is… really good at finding workers.”
If this girl knew these “workers” in her eyes were actually world-cla.s.s engineers, she would be stunned, or from what he knew of her, she might stay here overnight and follow these engineers just to learn some experience from them…
Qiao Liang drove Tang Xi to Xiao Hongyi’s villa. Tang Xi said goodbye to him and got out of the car. Seeing Tang Xi leave without any hesitation, Qiao Liang frowned and with a straight face, he watched her enter the villa. He waited for a long time but that girl didn’t come out. In the end, he could only pressed hard on the gas and the car sped away.
At this point, Tang Xi was looking at Xiao Yan in front of her and raised her eyebrows. “Brother, what’s up?”
Xiao Yan gazed deeply at Tang Xi, then shook his head and asked in a somewhat casually, “It seems that you came back very late today. Were you detained by the teacher?”
Knowing Xiao Yan was sounding her out, Tang Xi smiled. “Brother, can’t I have some private s.p.a.ce?” Although she was smiling, Tang Xi was thinking, “Did Xiao Yan see Qiao Liang just now? Otherwise why did he ask her this question?”
Xiao Yan didn’t expect Tang Xi to not answer his question but instead ask him one in return. As a business elite, Xiao Yao was rarely so embarra.s.sed. He awkwardly shook his head. “Of course not. You have your private s.p.a.ce, but I don’t want to see you being cheated.”
Tang Xi smiled, straightened up her knapsack straps and looked up at Xiao Yan. “Brother, you worry too much. Although I wasn’t brought up in City A, I’m already twenty-three years old. I’m not that gullible. Besides…” Tang Xi paused and then continued, “Besides, I’m the Miss of the Xiao Family. Who dare cheat on me? If anyone does, I know you will tear him into pieces!”
Xiao Yan didn’t expect she would say this. A smile appeared on his solemn face. He nodded. “Yes, if anyone bullies you, tell me. I’ll kick his a.s.s.”
“Thanks.” Tang Xi smiled, walked round him and entered the living room. She greeted Grandpa Xiao who was watching TV and threw her school bag to Lily who had been following her since she entered the house. “I’m going to see my mom. Put my bag into my room please.”
Lily happily said yes and ran upstairs carrying Tang Xi’s bag. Tang Xi went straight to Lin Ru’s room.
…
In the Empire Garden of the capital, in Tang Zhenhua’s study, Tang Zhenhua was reading the doc.u.ment in his hand and frowned. Tang Zhong looked at his solemn look and said in a low voice, “Master, I think Mr. Qiao is not to blame. He has done everything he can do for Miss. I’ve found out that Mr. Qiao didn’t know this Miss Xiao Rou until he came back from the Pacific. They were together after he came back from the Pacific the second time, which happened more than ten days ago.”
Tang Zhong observed Tang Zhenhua’s look, pursed his lips and continued, “And, Master…”
“Ah Zhong, don’t you think this girl’s eyes are very beautiful?” Before Tang Zhong answered him, he suddenly looked up at Tang Zhong and said, “Don’t you think her eyes were like Suhua’s?”
“Ah?” Tang Zhong looked at his master in surprise. Why was Master so interested in this girl’s eyes? He thought Master would give Miss Xiao and Mr. Qiao a hard time to avenge Miss!
Tang Zhenhua asked, “Was she in a mask in all the photos you got? Do you have any photos showing her full face?”
“Master, you…” Tang Zhong’s heart was pounding hard. Did Master fall for this girl, because her eyes looked like Lady Suhua’s?
d.a.m.n! What am I thinking of!
Tang Zhong hurriedly answered, “Yes, I’ve got one photo showing her full face. I took the photo at the gate of the First High School of City A.” With that, he handed Tang Zhenhua the photo and told her about Xiao Rou’s story.
Upon hearing Tang Zhong’s words, Tang Zhenhua frowned, stared at the girl in the picture and sighed, “What a poor kid.” He then looked up at Tang Zhong. “Give me her detailed information, including that of her family members’.”
Tang Zhong paused and took a look at Tang Zhenhua. When he made sure Master was not joking, he hurriedly said, “Okay,” and left.
