Chapter 504: Chapter 504: Tang Xiaoli’s Kinks
On the other end of the phone, it was Ji Ming’s voice.
Tang Li imdiately asked, “Where is Mr. Song?”
“The gentleman is still in a eting.” Ji Ming seed concerned that Tang Li might be upset, and specifically explained, “It’s a rather important internal eting, and the gentleman did not bring his cellphone with him.”
He answered the call also to prevent Tang Li from worrying.
Tang Li was not a troubleso person. Hearing what Ji Ming said, she only asked if she could co over now. She didn’t need to enter; she would just leave after delivering sothing.
Ji Ming looked at his watch: “It’s the highest-level decision-making eting, which may take another three or four hours.”
After ending the call, Ji Ming went to the situation room.
He waited outside for about 20 minutes, the eting room door opened, and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff ca out, planning to go to the restroom. After the person left, Ji Ming knocked on the door. Song Baiyan, who was standing beside the main seat drinking water, heard the knock, looked up, saw Ji Ming at the door, and nodded to signal him to co in.
At this mont, the eting was at a mid-point break.
Ji Ming walked over to Song Baiyan, and in a low voice, inford him, “Miss Tang made a call.”
Upon hearing this, Song Baiyan turned to glance at him.
“It’s nothing urgent.” Ji Ming said truthfully, “Miss Tang is just coming to deliver sothing, she probably called in advance to let us know.”
Song Baiyan closed the lid of his teacup and placed the cup back on the conference table: “Once she arrives, go down and receive her.”
Ji Ming nodded in response, then left the situation room.
Tang Li arrived at National Square, walked around a large half-circle to the periter of Tan Palace, called Ji Ming, and Ji Ming ca down quickly, took the box of biscuits, and also let Tang Li follow him inside.
Song Baiyan’s office was on the first floor of Tan Palace.
Coming down from the second floor, Tang Li suddenly started a conversation with Ji Ming: “Now there are rumors outside that we are a couple.”
“…No matter what the rumors say, Miss Tang is not my type.”
Tang Li: “…”
In the office, after Ji Ming left, Tang Li did not touch anything indiscriminately. She sat on the sofa with the biscuits, noticed the rose garden outside the window, got up and went over. The last ti she was here was at night, and she had not looked closely at the scenery outside. It was the season of bloom, with diverse red roses amid the deep green leaves and branches.
Suddenly, she rembered the pair of rings she had bought.
Tang Li opened her backpack, took out the small velvet box, then opened the door on the east side of the office, and went straight to the rose garden outside.
She plucked a few rose buds that were about to bloom and then returned to the office.
On the second floor of Tan Palace, Xiao Minglan stood on the east side balcony, watching the “flower thief” below, sighing silently. Aunt Min beside her couldn’t help but laugh, “It reminds of a line of poetry, ‘When flowers bloom, they must be plucked at once, do not wait until there are no flowers and pluck only branches, one must not hesitate when it’s ti to pluck.’
Xiao Minglan glared jokingly at Aunt Min: “She only picks the good-looking ones to take, and you’re still speaking for her.”
“Even if taken, they are for soone in Tan Palace.”
Aunt Min: “It’s like the saying ‘offer Buddha the borrowed flowers.’
Xiao Minglan turned and walked back inside, Aunt Min followed her into the living room: “Would you like to go down for a bit? The gentleman seems to be in a eting, and right now, it’s just her alone.”
Eventually, Xiao Minglan did not go to the first floor but had the servants send down so fruits and pastries.
Three hours later, Song Baiyan finished the eting and returned.
He opened the office door, did not see Tang Li in the sofa area, just her backpack and that light yellow paper box. He walked into the office, turned around to close the door, sothing prodded his lower back, followed by a hushed threat: “If you value your life, raise your hands.”
