苏玉燕一口也没吃.
而沈明则正高兴地品尝着一片竹笋,就在顾风面前."嗯,这真的很好.味道挥之不去.来,尝尝,苏尚锦.
"哦,呃,好吧,"苏尚锦结结巴巴地说道,看到顾风脸上已经暗淡下来的表情.
他不敢再多说什么,悄悄地挑着他的食物.
苏宁从酒窖回来,手里拿着一瓶她积攒多年的珍贵红酒."这瓶酒是余燕十八岁生日时保存下来的.我已经保留了很多年.今天,我开放给大家试试.
苏尚锦觉得现在是问道的最佳时机,"我来得对吗?家里有什么好消息吗?
苏宁今天心情出奇的好."是的,确实如此.沈明刚刚成功地在公司获得了她的第一个案件.让我们庆祝吧!沈明,今晚喝一杯.
沈明向仆人挥手,要了一杯,笑了笑."当然,我会为此干杯."
苏尚锦对这个案子略有耳诫."哦,是华一案吗?我听我哥哥说过这件事.哇,沈明,你太棒了!你刚加入就已经登陆了.
沈明漫不经心地看了顾风一眼,才回答道."是的,我明白了."
一直在悄悄地挑她的食物的顾风,似乎明显受到了震动.她的手在拿起筷子时微微颤抖.她的脸上充满了难以置信.这怎么可能呢?
"妈,华艺房产的底价不是漏了吗?怎么可能...对方的价格更高,不是吗?如果它比我们的高,那就没什么好吹嘘的.
"哦,不对,这是沈明最初报的价格.华艺开发项目的第一阶段存在施工问题,沈明利用她收集到的信息作为杠杆.华毅接受了她的提议.所以,诉讼成功了.沈明,你的第一步很强.我向你举杯.
这几个简短的句子比它们看起来的意义要大得多.就连苏玉燕也举起了酒杯."你设法为华一案削减了 5% 的成本.这真是令人印象深刻.我会为此干杯.
沈明笑着举起了她的酒杯."这只是个开始.即将到来的案件将更具挑战性.你们最好别再奉承我了.
苏玉燕嘲笑她那卑微的,"小胜"的态度.笑着,苏尚锦似乎也抓住了这种情绪.
很快,他向沈明举起了酒杯."我也要给你喝一杯.虽然我不确定细节,但你听起来做得很好.加油,沈明!你会变得更好.
苏玉燕的笑容让顾风眼中闪过怒火.
沈明和苏尚锦碰杯后,沈明抬起了目光."小凤,怎么了?"你看起来很不高兴.你不打算祝贺我吗?
在桌子的头上,苏宁的眼睛也转向了她.
顾枫勉强笑了笑,举起了她的酒杯."恭喜."
她喝了,沈明一口气把剩下的酒都喝光了.她喝得这么快,连苏宁都忍不住警告她."慢点.没有人能和你竞争.
没人参加比赛?
顾风听到这话,感到一阵沮丧.她的手藏在桌子下面,不自觉地抠了抠她新做的指甲,导致它们开裂.
苏宁注意到她的不安,理解她的反应.毕竟,这种情况自然会让她情绪低落.
"小凤,你得再努力点.你哥哥已经为你安排了一个新项目.等你吃完了,我再给你开一瓶.
顾风抬起头,勉强露出一个训练有素的笑容,看起来完美无瑕."当然,妈妈."
就连沈明也不得不承认,看到她如此坚忍,在她这个年纪,不可能那样做.
"苏夫人,至于新项目,我觉得我们应该找其他人.大哥,你觉得怎么样?
At this, everyone paused in their actions.
Su Ning's gaze tightened, and she put down her wine glass. "Shen Ming, why do you say that?"
Shen Ming took a calm bite of her steak before answering, "Su Madam, you might not know this, but the night Xiao Wu got into trouble, the surveillance cameras in the parking lot at the event were broken. However, the dashcam in my car was still running."
Gu Feng's face immediately changed, and her demeanor became tense. Shen Ming continued, speaking slowly, "Unfortunately, the dashcam in my car happened to break during those few days. Such bad luck…"
She sighed as she chewed on her steak, taking her time to savor it.
Su Yuyan, sitting across from her, noticed her casual, almost teasing demeanor and set down his fork and knife. He looked at Su Ning and said, "The footage from the dashcam has been repaired, and the evidence has been submitted to the police."
Before anyone could say anything further, Su Yuyan cut in again, not giving anyone the chance to ruffle the mood. Shen Ming rolled her eyes at him, but he didn't seem to care. He then turned to Su Ning.
"The suspicion that Xiao Wu leaked the pricing information has mostly been cleared. From the dashcam footage, we saw that it was Xiao Feng's assistant, Xiao Liu, who provided the information to Assistant Lu Fan. Lu Fan's side had initially refused to cooperate, but after the footage came out, they confirmed that it was indeed Xiao Liu, the person wearing a mask."
Gu Feng's composure began to break down. Her expression shifted from confusion to panic. "Brother, how could it be Xiao Liu? He's my assistant! I never imagined he would do something like that. I have to call him right now."
Su Ning stopped her. "Calm down. Let your brother finish speaking."
Su Yuyan's words were brief and to the point. "The company has dismissed Xiao Liu, and he will never be rehired. With a criminal record, he's no longer suitable to be your assistant. As for why he did this, the police will explain after the interrogation."
Both Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu had been handpicked by Su Ning.
"What is this nonsense?" Su Ning demanded, her tone sharp. "The Hua Yi case has caused so much trouble. Xiao Feng, does this have anything to do with you?"
Gu Feng, overwhelmed by emotion, burst into tears. Tears streamed down her face as she wiped them away frantically with the back of her hand.
Su Shangjin, sitting beside her, immediately rushed to grab her some tissues.
"Mom, just because Xiao Liu is my assistant, you suspect me? Xiao Wu was Shen Ming's assistant, and when Lu Fan's side accused Xiao Wu, I didn't hear any suspicions about Shen Ming. I don't understand why these two incidents are being connected. Is it because I'm not your biological daughter, so you can just suspect me like this—"
"Little Feng!" Su Ning shouted in anger.
The dinner ended in discord. Gu Feng, still crying, left the table. Su Ning followed her to comfort her.
Throughout the entire scene, only Su Shangjin was left utterly confused.
He glanced at Shen Ming, who was still calmly eating her steak, and then at Su Yuyan, who was wiping his mouth and preparing to leave the table.
"Wait, what just happened?"
Shen Ming, taking a sip of her wine, looked at him and said, "Fourth Young Master, some things are best left alone. Don't get involved, or you might get burned."
Su Yuyan, sitting across from her, shot her a look.
The issue wasn't over yet. Shen Ming raised an eyebrow and continued, "As the saying goes, the crying child gets the candy. Not long ago, Gu Feng mocked me for the leak by my assistant. Now, shouldn't I get an explanation?"
