Ma Jinshan was surprised by Li Zhen's ruthlessness. He was a little depressed, but more importantly, he was frustrated at losing a capable general.

For the sake of his career future, he didn't mind bowing his head. He put down the phone and went downstairs to find Li Zhen.

It was a long distance from the publishing house to the station. Li Zhen walked slowly and Ma Jinshan walked long. They would definitely be able to stop Li Zhen before he reached the station.

But what did he see? Li Zhen is standing with the city leaders talking? !

"Director Yue..." Ma Jinshan quickly walked a few steps closer and greeted Yue Wenshan first.

Yue Wenshan was interviewed by Ma Jinshan and nodded in response.

Li Zhen thought that Ma Jinshan was the air, and silently allowed the two of them to chat.

"Do you two know each other?" Li Zhen ignored him, while he ignored Li Zhen. Ma Jinshan asked Yue Wenshan with a smile.

"Yes, I have some personal matters that I want to trouble Comrade Li."

Yuewen Mountain was flat and open, and Ma Jinshan immediately climbed up the pole.

"It's too cold outside, why don't you come to my place to talk?" Ma Jinshan was afraid that Li Zhen would be stubborn again, so he said, "My small conference room is empty, which is very convenient."

Yue Wenshan looked at Li Zhen, "Is that okay? Comrade Li..."

Li Zhen, can you say no?

The three of them walked back to the publishing house. Ma Jinshan opened the small conference room on the same floor as his office and invited Yue Wenshan and Li Zhen in. He then hurriedly went to the tea room to boil water and make tea himself.

After taking a seat, Yue Wenshan got straight to the point.

"Comrade Li's painting skills are amazing. I wonder if you can help me paint a portrait of an old friend. You can pay for it."

Along the way, Li Zhen thought about what kind of things Yue Wenshan, whom she had never met, might ask her for help. After thinking about it, it turned out to be her extraordinary character sketch.

After listening to Yue Wenshan's words, Li Zhen said, "To be honest, the cheapest I can do for a character sketch is fifty. The higher the difficulty, the higher the cost. Please tell me your requirements and actual situation first." "

Ma Jinshan came in with tea and couldn't help but feel the veins popping up on his forehead when he heard that Li Zhen walked over him to negotiate the price with Yue Wenshan without any scruples.

Yue Wenshan didn't know the relationship between Ma Jinshan and Li Zhen. When he saw Ma Jinshan coming in to deliver tea, he tapped his finger on the table to express his thanks.

Li Zhen glanced at Ma Jinshan, who was forcing a smile on his face, and suddenly felt aggrieved. She had been sucked by this guy in two lives. If Ma Jinshan hadn't been forced to take out the money this time, she wouldn't have known it. Such a person should be given to him. It would be nice to learn a lesson.

"Actually, it's better to go to Editor Ma than to me for this matter. Editor Ma knows a lot of people, and there are many people who are better at drawing than me, right, Editor Ma."

Li Zhen asked Ma Jinshan with a smile. The indifference in his eyes made Ma Jinshan feel in a daze, as if he had never known Li Zhen before.

Yue Wenshan looked at Ma Jinshan after hearing this. His professional acumen made him immediately aware of the undercurrent between Li Zhen and Ma Jinshan.

Ma Jinshan felt a chill running down his spine when he was stared at by Yue Wenshan's sharp eyes. He reluctantly swallowed his saliva and said with a smile.

"Comrade Li is too modest... I invited Comrade Li here this time because the designs he provided for our company have been well received over the years and he has made great contributions to the development of our company. Therefore, I specially express my gratitude to Comrade Li to the company. Apply for bonus.”

Hearing this, Yue Wenshan looked at Ma Jinshan with interest.

Li Zhen did take over private work from Ma Jinshan and often drew illustrations and cover designs for publishing houses, but she knew exactly how the bonus came from, and she knew even more clearly that Ma Jinshan wanted her to take over Yue Wenshan unconditionally. live.

Ma Jinshan wanted to please the boss for her future, but she, Li Zhen, had no desire and was strong-willed. There was no need to help others make wedding clothes.

Li Zhen said, "Have you applied for the bonus?"

As long as you have a plan, it's easy to say, Ma Jinshan said, "The application has been submitted. I'll keep it here. Wait a moment."

When Ma Jinshan went out, he immediately asked his deputy to go to the bank to withdraw money, while he went back to the office and put all the seven documents returned by Li Zhen into a document bag.

In the small conference room, Yue Wenshan waited for Ma Jinshan to leave and talked to Li Zhen.

"I only believe in you. If it's inconvenient, forget it."

Li Zhen looked at Yue Wenshan. She hated coming into contact with secrets, especially the secrets of people with sensitive identities like Yue Wenshan.

When the words of rejection came to his lips, Yue Wenshan suddenly stopped Li Zhen with a voice.

"It's about my lover... If I can't find out the truth, I won't rest in peace."

Yue Wenshan put his hand on his forehead dejectedly and spoke weakly.

"I don't mean to threaten you, it's just that my intuition tells me that you can be trusted."

Li Zhen didn't know why Yue Wenshan was so persistent in expressing his trust in her, but he saw in Yue Wenshan his helpless self in the previous life...

The desire for someone to help her became a source of despair. Her silent pleas were ignored, but at this moment, she could help Yue Wenshan in front of her.

"What do you think."

She doesn't need to please Yue Wenshan, or she can refuse to help him, but she is willing to listen to Yue Wenshan's reasons. She is not a bad person who will interfere regardless of the consequences after empathizing.

Yue Wenshan's eyes fell on the closed door and said.

"I witnessed her death with my own eyes, but I didn't believe she was dead. Everyone thought I was overly sad, but I knew very well that I was not..."

Li Zhen has also felt this way. In her last life, when everyone gave up the search and rescue and told her that her daughter had no way to survive, she thought the same thing. But death is death. The rapid river, the daughter who can't swim, two Putting the conditions together, the chances of my daughter surviving were almost zero.

"So, have you seen her body?" Li Zhen asked.

Yue Wenshan nodded, "I personally sent her into the incinerator."

Li Zhen was speechless.

"I don't force you to agree with my persistence, but can you please help me draw a portrait of her, not at the age when she left, but as she lived until now."

To be honest, Li Zhen has experienced a lot of this kind of life. In fact, human life is very fragile. "Betting on books makes the fragrance of tea disappear. At that time, I just said it was ordinary." It is not just Nalan Rongruo's regret. There are too many in this world. People long to see what the person left in time will look like when they are old enough to share their lives with him or her.

"can."

She knew the feeling of longing all too well, so Li Zhen agreed and only asked Yue Wenshan.

"You said you believed me because of her special situation?"

At this time, the identity background is still relatively sensitive. For example, her father is a professor, and she was subject to extremely strict scrutiny when she married Qi Yihan. Yue Wenshan is a civil servant, so he will naturally pay more attention to this aspect.

Yue Wenshan hummed, "We will discuss it in detail at Chengyun Tea Room at 9:30 tomorrow morning. As for the remuneration, I will give you one hundred first, and you can quote the rest afterwards."

After saying that, Ma Jinshan came in carrying a document bag...

Hearing the sound, Yue Wenshan and Li Zhen both stopped talking and turned their heads.

Ma Jinshan was stared at by two pairs of eyes at the same time, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to be a handyman here, serving tea and water.

Li Zhen, be more confident and get rid of the appearance.

Li Zhen took the document bag from Ma Jinshan's hand and squeezed it. The bulging bag contained more than just money.
