The two chatted for a while, but Niu Xiaoqiang did not fall asleep as before. Yu Simei couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoqiang, didn't I press it well today?"

Niu Xiaoqiang looked at Yu Simei in surprise: "Why do you say that? I think you press it quite comfortably." ”

Yu Simei hesitated: "Since I pressed it very comfortably, why didn't you fall asleep like before?"

Why didn't Niu Xiaoqiang fall asleep? Mainly because Yu Simei's chest was always rubbing on his head, which made him a little uneasy.

Niu Xiaoqiang was embarrassed to say this reason, and he snorted: "I'm not as tired as before today, so I don't have any sleep." ”

He hurriedly closed his eyes as he spoke, not daring to look at Yu Simei's swaying chest.

Yu Simei believed it and happily continued to chat with Niu Xiaoqiang.

At six o'clock in the evening, Niu Xiaoqiang returned to the cave factory. Since he focused his work on the Asian Machinery Factory, he rarely came to the cave factory to work, only every day when he went home, he would stop by to check the vault, and talk to Wang Xiaoshuang by the way.

The relationship between the two seems to be a little cold, but no one really thinks so, but they all feel that there is a trace of indescribable true feelings in the blandness.

Wang Xiaoshuang was sitting at the table eating dinner, and when she saw Niu Xiaoqiang walking in, she smiled slightly: "Xiaoqiang, you are here." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang hummed as usual and sat next to Wang Xiaoshuang: "Xiaoshuang, seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, do you want to go to the city with me to buy a few new clothes?"

Wang Xiaoshuang smiled bitterly: "I'm settling the accounts here, and I'm going to check the account details of the Asia Machinery Factory, do you think I have time to go to the city to buy clothes?"

She said here and asked, "Xiaoqiang, are you going to the city to run errands?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "Well, I'm going to pay respects to my acquaintances, and by the way, I'll take a boat to set off early tomorrow morning, and Sister Yu will also go with me, she thinks it's not good for the two of us to go out together, and I want to call you, I plan to do the same, Xiaoshuang, you've been tired for a year, you should go out to relax and relax, or you put aside the work at hand first, and then do it when you come back." ”

Wang Xiaoshuang originally felt that Niu Xiaoqiang and Yu Simei were a little tired, but when she heard that Yu Simei and Niu Xiaoqiang both meant to avoid suspicion, she was not very worried, but she smiled: "If you go out, go out, what is there to avoid suspicion, I really can't leave, why don't you take me out to play next time you have time?"

Niu Xiaoqiang scratched his head: "Okay, that's the only way." ”

Then the two sat and chatted for a while, and when Wang Xiaoshuang finished eating, Niu Xiaoqiang left.

Early the next morning, Niu Xiaoqiang and Yu Simei came to the dock together. There were a lot of people on the dock, and many of them knew Niu Xiaoqiang and greeted him one after another.

As for Yu Simei, there are not many people who know her, and even if someone knows her, they are very interested in not coming forward to talk. Because they all know Yu Simei's character, they may be bored if they talk rashly.

After the passenger ferry arrived in Qingjiang, Niu Xiaoqiang first took Yu Simei to the market: "Sister Yu, there are a lot of clothes here, there are all kinds of styles, you can pick any one, just tell me which one you like, and I will pay the bill." ”

Yu Simei is also a rich person, where does she care about the money for buying clothes? She hurriedly shook her head: "I'm very happy that you can go shopping with me, how can I let you pay the bills? Besides, I'm not without money." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang insisted on a few words, but Yu Simei just disagreed, and finally he had to nod: "Okay, I won't fight with you." ”

Yu Simei went shopping with a smile, and the most things she bought were not clothes, but various decorations.

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but ask: "Sister Yu, didn't you say that you came to buy clothes, why are you buying so many decorations?"

Yu Simei replied with a smile: "My clothes are enough to wear, and there are several sets of new clothes in the wardrobe, as for buying these decorations, the main reason is to decorate the home well, since it is the New Year, there must be a new atmosphere, Xiaoqiang, don't look at it, help me choose it." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang had no choice but to nod and help Yu Simei choose the decorations.

The two of them walked around until four o'clock in the afternoon, Niu Xiaoqiang carried a lot of large bags and small bags in his hands, and rushed to Zhang Guangmao's villa with Yu Simei.

When the two arrived at the villa, it was already half past five in the afternoon, Niu Xiaoqiang took out the key to open the door, and instructed Simei: "Sister Yu, you go to rest first, I'll call Xiaoxue over, and you will rest in the villa with her later, and I will visit Zhou Hongbao." ”

This matter had already been said on the way to the city by boat, and Yu Simei nodded in agreement.

Niu Xiaoqiang turned around and came to the warehouse not too far from the villa, and to his surprise, Wang Xiaoxue didn't work in the warehouse. He looked at the locked warehouse door and thought to himself: Why did Wang Xiaoxue go? Could it be that she was absent from work without permission?

In order to find out Wang Xiaoxue's whereabouts, Niu Xiaoqiang found a commissary and dialed Li Yu's phone number.

Li Yu has his own office in the provincial capital, in which a telephone is installed.

"Hello, I'm Li Yu from the Four Seasons Flower Dew Water Plant, who are you?"

"Minister Li, it's me. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Secretary Niu, you have something to do with me?"

"I came to the city today to run errands and wanted to settle down in the villa, but I found that Xiaoxue was not there, do you know why she went?"

"She just asked for leave with me this afternoon to go back to Aoshan to see her sister, and you just missed it. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang sighed: "I see, I have nothing else to do, hang up." ”

"Okay. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang paid the phone bill and returned to the villa.

Yu Simei sat on the sofa watching TV in an orderly manner, and found that Niu Xiaoqiang came back alone, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why did you come back alone, Xiaoxue?"

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled bitterly: "She took a boat back to Aoshan to visit Xiaoshuang in the afternoon, and she happened to miss the time with us, do you say it's a coincidence?"

Yu Simei asked, "Then what should we do?"

Niu Xiaoqiang thought for a while and replied: "You can cook and eat by yourself, it's okay to go out and buy food, I'm going to visit Zhou Hongbao, it's inconvenient to take you with me." ”

Yu Simei nodded: "Then you pay attention to safety." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't say anything more, said goodbye to Simei, went to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought some good cigarettes and wine, and stopped a taxi to rush to the meeting place.

Niu Xiaoqiang called Zhou Hongbao yesterday afternoon, and the meeting place agreed between the two was a small restaurant in the city.

This is not to say that Niu Xiaoqiang is reluctant to spend money to entertain Zhou Hongbao in a good place, but Zhou Hongbao took the initiative to ask for it. He was worried that if he met an acquaintance, it would not affect him well.
