Liuxiang

As soon as the door opened and closed, Yi Baitang walked into the manager's office.

The office inside the aquatic product center is not too big or small. In addition to the sofas, desks, and bookshelves found in ordinary offices, there is also an aquarium embedded directly behind the desk and occupying an entire wall.

Every time he came here, Yi Baitang couldn't help but stop and admire for a while, studying what strange ingredients were added to the aquarium.

The owner of the office was standing in front of the aquarium with his back facing Yi Baitang. The carefully prepared live fish food was bouncing back and forth in the basket in the owner's hand, and was immediately grabbed by the owner and spilled all over the aquarium with the lid off.

The plain hand with the floating jade bracelet is in stark contrast to the various insects and shrimps struggling in the palm. Yi Baitang glanced at it and thought: It's the same as her in the past.

Little Sapling also said that she was trapped by love, would this kind of strong woman also be trapped by love?

The master has turned around by this time.

She is well-dressed, although she is close to forty, she still looks as young and beautiful as she was just in her early thirties, but her eyebrows are a bit sharp, and her chin is slightly raised, so that when people first look at her, they can't help but pay attention to her identity first, not her face.

When facing Yi Baitang, she was quite easy-going, and said with a smile: "Baitang is here, sit down quickly, I haven't seen you for a long time, what's the matter today?"

"Aunt Zhou." Yi Baitang yelled, sat down opposite the other party, and said directly, "I want to come over to get a batch of ingredients recently."

As he said that, he handed over the list he had prepared long ago to the other party, which listed all the ingredients he needed every month.

Manager Zhou took Yi Baitang's list and glanced at it.

Topping the list is truffles, followed by Kobe beef - with working capital on hand.

Ranked third are all kinds of rare and fresh seafood—hmph, kid.

In the end, there is an additional condition. Once various new ingredients appear, Yi Baitang must be contacted; once various magical ingredients appear, Yi Baitang must also be contacted—there are quite a lot of requests!

She folded the list in half again, neither saying it was good nor saying it was bad, first she asked kindly: "Baitang, have you bought a hotel recently?"

"That's right." Yi Baitang said.

"Are you working with people?"

"Yes."

"Is the person you're working with a man or a woman, and what age is it?"

"..."

"Oh——" Manager Zhou looked at his words and smiled slightly, "Why, is there anything you can't say to Auntie? This kid, once he grows up, he will forget who used to come to give advice when he has no connections. Where can he get really good ingredients."

The corner of Yi Baitang's mouth twitched.

Because of this woman sitting here.

He sometimes, really, doesn't like to come to this place very much.

"I'm working with a good friend of mine, and he's a man." Yi Baitang was reluctant to speak, and emphasized, "He is a very good friend of mine. Well, don't talk about this, Aunt Zhou, What do you think of my list?"

It turned out to be a man.

Manager Zhou's curiosity dropped a lot, she looked at Yi Baitang again, and secretly thought: Forget it, anyway, such a cute child is not short of women's favorites, that person entrusted me with the matter... don't worry too much.

She accepted the elder's thoughts and turned to business affairs: "I have read your list, and there are generally no problems, but some of them are also reserved by others. You have to bid freely, and the highest bidder wins."

Yi Baitang hummed: "When will the other party come?"

Manager Zhou was a little absent-minded: "This afternoon or tomorrow... I forgot, wait until I check the schedule."

Before... It seems that I have never heard her say that she forgot anything at work.

The other party is a woman who can even remember the real-time price changes of every fish in the aquatic product industry.

Yi Baitang felt strange.

He took a closer look at the woman sitting opposite him, and finally found that although she was smiling, she was also looking down at the record, but she seemed to be a little absent-minded, and even touched the crystal ornaments on the table to the edge of the table for a long distance. , did not notice.

Maybe the other party is just a little tired during this time.

Maybe……

Putting his hands in his pockets, Yi Baitang suddenly asked, "Aunt Zhou, have you been in a bad mood lately?"

Manager Zhou was startled suddenly, his arms swung, and the crystal ornaments that were already close to the edge were knocked off the table!

Outside the corridor of the office, Shang Huaiyan hung up the phone but did not immediately follow Yi Baitang.

He walked back to the pool where the Pisces were kept, watching groups of fish leisurely coming and going in the water, and poked one of them, wanting to find its mate, but found that all the fish in the pool followed his movements. Confused, he couldn't help touching his nose, and then walked to the office.

After going back and forth, Shang Huaiyan, who returned to the corridor, suddenly found a person squatting in front of the office, and the closed door was gently pushed open a gap, and the person squatting there was sticking his ear to the gap...

Shang Huaiyan walked in calmly and patted the other person's shoulder lightly.

The assistant who was squatting here to eavesdrop was so frightened that he jumped three feet high, and even the nameplate on his chest was knocked crooked by his own arm with this jump.

Shang Huaiyan glanced at the situation, the other party's surname is Huang.

He lowered his voice and laughed, "What are you doing squatting here? You are the assistant of the people inside! Take the opportunity to bring some tea and some snacks in. Why don't you just stay here and listen to their speech?"

Assistant Huang: "..."

For a moment I forgot what I wanted to say...

He calmed down: "Our manager doesn't like assistants doing their own things, and tea and snacks have just been delivered..."

Before the words could be spoken, a crisp sound of "哗啦" came from the office!

Even though there was a wall in between, when this sudden voice came out, it was naturally weakened, but it was still hard to conceal the menacing anger in the ears of Shang Huaiyan and Assistant Huang.

There was a thump in the hearts of the two of them.

Assistant Huang was a little anxious: "Is it because the talk was not good just now, the manager is angry——"

Shang Huaiyan didn't say a word, raised his hand and pushed the door, and glanced across the room, only to see Yi Baitang and the female manager stood up from their seats, separated by a table, as if facing each other.

He came to Yi Baitang with big strides, moved the hand behind his back calmly, and moved the person to his back. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief, and slowly savored a little regret from his heart: Baitang Tang must have talked about his relationship with the woman across from him!

It's also weird, I don't care if I know about it, why did I talk about it with the other party just now?

Behind Shang Huaiyan, Assistant Huang also hurried in and rushed to Manager Zhou: "Manager, what happened? I happened to be outside, and I was taken aback!"

"It's nothing." Manager Zhou took a deep breath, "I just accidentally knocked something off."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Yi Baitang and said in a flat tone, "What else do you need?"

Yi Baitang's expression was also very calm: "It's okay, I'll go first."

He took Shang Huaiyan and left Manager Zhou's office together.

The two did not choose to go back immediately.

Yi Baitang planned to spend more time in this black market, so he first opened a room in the hotel in the village and entered, and asked Shang Huaiyan if he had anything to go back to the company to deal with.

"It's nothing serious." Shang Huaiyan said, "But what did you mention just now...the other party is so angry?"

"I mentioned what you said to me. She is indeed troubled by feelings. Probably because of her husband's relationship. She mentioned to me before that his husband treats her very well, and she is very happy every day..." Yi Bai Tang replied lightly.

"..." It really is my fault.Shang Huaiyan felt a little guilty, sat down next to Yi Baitang, and was thinking about how to please him, when Yi Baitang turned his face away.

The two got very close.

As soon as he turned his head, the tip of his nose touched lightly, Shang Huaiyan's heart skipped a beat, and he was about to raise his hand to take Yi Baitang to the next step, when the person sitting beside him immediately stood up.

"?" Shang Huaiyan was stunned.

"You said..." Yi Baitang took two steps forward, then turned back, thoughtful, "Do men always get something and never cherish it anymore?"

"?!" Shang Huaiyan was shocked!

"Why, why do you think so?" He collected himself, although he admitted what Yi Baitang said in his heart, he still said, "Men only do this to things that are easily obtained..."

Yi Baitang stared at Shang Huaiyan for a moment, then flatly commented:

"No, it's better not to discriminate between men and women. In this kind of thing, you don't look at men and women, but at people."

"..." Suddenly, Shang Huaiyan felt guilty for no reason.

Just at this time, the door of the room was knocked suddenly, Shang Huaiyan was relieved, and Shang Huaiyan quickly said: "I don't know who it is, let me go and see?"

"You don't want to open it." Yi Baitang was careless, not curious about who was standing outside the door, let alone opening the door.

The knock on the door persisted, and a thin voice came from outside: "Chu Yi, I brought you your precious Pisces——"

Shang Huaiyan looked at Yi Baitang.

Yi Baitang was silent for a moment, then stepped forward and opened the door.

Assistant Huang was right outside the door, but his hands were empty, so he didn't bring any Pisces with him.

Yi Baitang was about to close the door, but Assistant Huang squeezed in shortly, without delay, and went straight to the point: "Chu Yi, I need your help with something, you broke the manager's relationship problem today, I would like to ask You help the manager solve her emotional problems! Now you are the only one who can help!"

"..."

Yi Baitang glanced at the person slowly, and refused without reason: "No."
