Chapter 234
The night is as thick as ink that cannot be dissolved, and so intricate that it makes people intoxicated.
In Heihuomian's bedroom, on the bed, Bai Shuiru suddenly woke up, sat up, and gasped.
She put her hands into her thick hair, buried her head between her knees and trembled, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath:
Just now in my dream, Muxian suddenly found me, and then turned into a thorny vine and tied me up, making me bleed all over.
very scary!
When she gradually calmed down, she woke up without waking up Hei Huomian beside her, and turned her head to look:
Hei Huomian is not here?
Baishui subconsciously looked through the screen towards the bathroom, which was dark.
The bedding next to me felt cold to the touch, and it seemed that the other person had been up for some time.
Bai Shuiru used the dim light of the scented candles to discover Hei Huomian's nightgown among the clothes scattered on the ground. She blushed and muttered:
"You were busy working in the middle of the night and didn't even bother to put on some clothes. Now you caught a cold and you need me to coax you and feed you medicine~!" She got out of bed, put on her nightgown, picked up Heihuo Mian's nightgown and went to the study to find him.
Bai Shuiru yawned while paying attention to the duty status of the secret guards.
As expected, with her efforts, the secret guards' rest periods were guaranteed; she could only sense that there were two secret guards guarding the two entrances and exits on the third floor.
Bai Shuiru saw from afar a beam of light coming through the crack of the study door and fell in front of him. He took two quick steps forward and was about to knock on the door when he heard Jing Churan's worried voice from inside the study:
"Are you really going to do this? Are you sure you don't want to tell Shui Ru?"
Bai Shui subconsciously withdrew his hand that was about to knock on the door, held his breath and listened attentively to the movements in the room.
Half a minute later, Hei Huo Mian's clear and firm answer came:
"This is always a betrayal to her in some sense. She would be happier if she knew less."
Bai Shuiru couldn't help but tighten her grip on the nightgown in her hands. The soft, close-fitting fabric suddenly began to wrinkle, spreading from her fingertips to the bottom of her heart, and then quietly broke apart.
So, Hei Huo Mian is hiding something from me, and it is something that is disadvantageous to me? !
"Who?!" Heihuo Mian suddenly asked.
"I guess you're busy at work, so I'll get you some clothes." Bai Shuiru pushed open the study door and handed over the nightgown in her hand. "I heard you talking just now, so I didn't dare to disturb you."
"Shui Ru, you finally woke up." Hei Huo Mian happily walked over and hugged her in his arms, then held her face and looked at her carefully, "That's great. It's okay, we've finished talking."
"The night is too short! I won't disturb you then." Jing Churan nodded to Bai Shuiru, and waved goodbye to Hei Huomian as he walked towards the study door.
"You're so nice to me. You're even worried that I might catch a cold." Hei Huo Mian smiled gently, and took the robe and covered Bai Shui Ru Su's hand. "Why is it so cold?" He quickly put his robe on her and held her sideways. "Go back to the room quickly, don't catch a cold."
Before Bai Shuiru could struggle, she was teleported to the bedroom by the man.
What on earth were Hei Huomian and Jing Churan talking about about me just now?
What is it that Hei Huo Mian is hiding from me? !
Hei Huomian noticed that the person in his arms had a solemn expression and his posture was stiff and resistant. He couldn't help but frowned and asked softly:
"Are you feeling unwell? I'll call Jing Churan back right away."
Bai Shuiru paused for a moment before slowly shaking her head:
“…I’m fine.”
"Are you really okay?" Hei Huomian was worried and put his palm on Bai Shuiru's forehead to check her temperature. He then quickly pulled her into the bed, covered her with the quilt and turned around to get the thermometer. When he looked at her again, she had fallen into a deep sleep.
Hei Huomian carefully placed the thermometer needle under Bai Shuiru's armpit and tucked the quilt in for her.
Bai Shuiru was full of thoughts and tossed and turned in a daze. She seemed to feel a warm hand gently wiping the sweat from her forehead, and then raising a hand to comb her hair.
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Shuiru was disturbed by whispers. She held her heavy head and hummed softly. Then she heard familiar footsteps and greetings:
"Are you awake? How do you feel?"
Hei Huomian quickly walked to the bedside, and took Bai Shuiru into his arms and hugged her tightly. After almost half a minute, he said in a gentle voice:
"You just fainted for several days, and I couldn't wake you up. The hospital did all kinds of tests on you but couldn't find the cause. I brought Jing Churan over, but he just said you were tired and needed sleep, so I felt relieved."
"I'm really afraid you'll leave me like this!"
"How many days was I unconscious? I don't remember." Bai Shuiru stretched lazily to cover up and began to ask questions:
"I just had a dream. It seemed like you were talking about grain and oil, or some merger or acquisition?"
Hei Huomian smiled without saying anything, opened the two copies of the agreement and handed them forward.
Bai Shuiru saw that the Party A in the title of the agreement was actually "Shenta Zhongding Grain and Agriculture Group Co., Ltd." She looked up at the other party in surprise, and listened to the man's explanation while flipping through the agreement:
“You watched the news with me some time ago. Qi Chu’s forces secretly manipulated foreign-invested corn and soybeans, trying to monopolize domestic production areas.
In order to ensure the stability of the country's grain and oil, and to continue to invest in scientific research to study higher-quality and higher-yielding varieties, Mingxin invested in the country's agricultural research fund, assisted the government in negotiating the import of soybeans and corn, and strictly prevented the loss of high-quality seeds overseas. "
"Before, there were several shareholders of Ming Xin, including He Ting, who had been blocking my plan. After dealing with them, I struck while the iron was hot and brought in Zhongding Grain and Agriculture and Nongji to discuss cooperation."
"While you were unconscious, the board of directors elected me as acting executive director to negotiate on behalf of Zhongding Grain and Agriculture to fully acquire and merge dozens of large and medium-sized agricultural companies in China that are controlled by foreign capital, in order to cooperate with the country to fight against the monopoly of major foreign grain exporters, ensure reasonable pricing, and also ensure national food security."
"Now 70% of Biluo's grain-producing areas are promoting the mixed planting of soybeans and corn, which not only improves land utilization and unit yield per mu, but is also conducive to the long-term sustainable development of the land."
Bai Shuiru didn't bother to put down the contract in his hand, and embraced Hei Huomian, thanking him sincerely:
"I thank you on behalf of my father and all of us at Zhongding Grain and Agriculture. Keeping our jobs firmly in our own hands is the overall national security concept advocated by the country."
"Since you trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to sell your shares?" Hei Huomian received the praise from his sweetheart, and with a full smile, he took the initiative to kiss her and ask for a reward. Then he moved the small table and exchanged the agreement for a bowl of steaming ginseng, black chicken, donkey-hide gelatin and turtle soup.
Bai Shuiru took the turtle soup, scooped two mouthfuls of soup with a spoon, and replied calmly:
"All your Mingxin stocks are mine. To put it bluntly, you are just working for me."
"Yes, my boss's wife. So what gift should a worker give to her husband to please her boss's wife?"
"So, Hei Huomian, all the funds under your group are invested in environmental protection, agriculture, animal protection, etc., so you don't actually have much cash on hand? Then what should I do if I want to buy a whole set of jewelry and a villa castle?"
"You saw through me. I'm focusing on both environmental protection and development. This is a long-term investment."
The man approached Bai Shuiru like a large dog, rubbing her ears, and his tone was a little more aggrieved, "You won't stop loving me because of this, will you?"
Bai Shuiru smiled a little more, rubbed the man's thick medium-length hair, and suddenly jumped up and ran away, "Humph, I won't tell you~!"
Bai Shuiru looked solemn:
I was in a coma for a few days...
Why don't I have any impression?
