HLnovel Chapter 160 Storeroom
Chapter 160 Storeroom
The atmosphere in the private room was harmonious.
Secretary Zou is nearly sixty years old, with a square face and slightly overweight, giving him the appearance of a very approachable elder.
However, judging from his tone of voice, he is not as down-to-earth as he appears on the surface.
The group barely touched their food during the meal; the discussion about the land's fate and reserve price was enough to kill their appetites.
Secretary Zou took a sip of lukewarm tea, looked at Bai Xiao in front of him with a smile, his face full of admiration, "Young people these days are really different. Your President Shen really doesn't want to suffer any loss."
Bai Xiao acted like an elite, after all, the person in front of him was an official-level figure. He showed a fake, polite smile, his handsome face full of the words "young talent".
"No, we are sincere. We should be able to finalize the deal when he gets back."
"Haha, that's good."
They had just discussed the city's future planning and development at the dinner party. After a somewhat tense and exciting conversation, most of the issues have now been settled.
Official news about the airport construction will be released soon, at which point land prices will skyrocket. In the future, real estate developers will directly transfer land to the government instead of reselling it at a high price or holding public auctions.
As a benefit, their company's real estate business would receive some preferential treatment in various procedures afterward.
Of course, the price offered by the government is not low, but it is within a reasonable range, making it a win-win situation.
Secretary Zou's assistant was a man in his thirties with slightly dark skin. He glanced down at his watch and said in a low voice, "It's been twenty minutes. Why hasn't President Shen returned yet?"
The assistant whispered something in Secretary Zou's ear, and Secretary Zou nodded. "Go and see. It shouldn't take this long to go to the restroom. See if there's anything wrong."
Upon hearing this, the assistant got up and left.
Bai Xiao didn't know why his eyelids kept twitching. He secretly sent a message to Shen Yan under the table to ask about it, but Shen Yan's phone buzzed twice on the white silk tablecloth of the dining table.
He didn't bring his phone.
Meanwhile, the assistant also found the restroom.
Soft music played in the bathroom, and incense burned, but it was completely empty.
He stepped back out, intending to go back and report to his superior, when he suddenly heard some noise coming from the corner of the corridor.
The assistant stopped and turned to look. It was just a storage room, used by the cleaning staff to store their tools. It looked particularly inconspicuous in the luxurious hotel.
However, having worked alongside Secretary Zou for many years, he was more meticulous and perceptive than many others, so after hesitating for a moment, he came over.
Footsteps, like a death knell, came from behind a door, getting closer and closer.
The small storage room was dark and quiet. Xie Yan didn't dare to breathe. She sat on the floor without any regard for her image, covering the mouth of the person next to her with one hand, afraid that he would make a sound and be discovered.
The room had no windows and was extremely stuffy and cramped. Two people sat in the small space, their bodies almost touching, Xie Yan's soft breath spraying onto the man's neck.
He struggled slightly, and the force of the struggle made Xie Yan's muscles tense and her body drenched in sweat.
The footsteps outside the door disappeared, and the person who had come had stopped at the door and was trying to press the doorknob.
Xie Yan's heart was practically in her throat.
She was right; the cane belonged to Shen Yan, and he was right here.
Shen Yan may be having an attack and cannot be seen by anyone.
Fortunately, at that moment, an elderly woman's voice came from outside; it was a cleaning lady.
"Sir, have you come to the wrong place? This is our tool shed. Where would you like to go? I can take you there."
The man outside paused. "Excuse me, how many restrooms are on this floor?"
"Five."
Five...
The assistant paused for a moment, wondering if Mr. Shen had gone to another restroom?
"Then please take me there."
As soon as the words were spoken, the two footsteps gradually faded into the distance and disappeared.
Xie Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if she had just come back to life, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in her palm and almost cried out!
I rely on!
Shen Yan bit her!
