On the strip was a line of elegant pencil writing:

  Tomorrow at 10 am, Gangtou Teahouse, about your loan, come alone, no see no scatter.

  After reading the note, Xiang Tianliang suddenly remembered that he had borrowed money from Li Yajuan to join his brother-in-law's shoe factory. It seemed that Li Yajuan had asked Jiang Yuqing for help, and as a bank leader, 200,000 yuan was a trivial matter.

  But there was one sentence that made Xiang Tianliang's thoughts wander.

  One person comes, no meeting is missed.

  It's really interesting, borrowing money is not a shameful thing, why did you have to get rid of the "middleman" Li Yajuan?

  As soon as Jiang Yuying looked at him with her own eyes, Xiang Tianliang understood what was going on. That woman must have taken him for a pretty boy.

  It's really true, facing the mirror in the morning, I took a look at myself and indeed looked a bit pale.

  "Slap." He slapped himself in the face.

  This slap also shocked Li Yajuan awake.

  Two people had breakfast and arrived at the People's Bank of the city just before work started.

  The car stopped in front of the bank gate. Towards dawn, he handed over the things he had taken yesterday to Li Yajuan and let her go up alone.

  "Are you not going up?" Li Yajuan asked curiously.

  "Towards Tianliang smiled and said: 'It's safe now, you can go alone.'"

  Li Yajuan was still worried, "Xiao Xiang, since they will all guess that we put the things in the bank, aren't we jumping into the net ourselves?"

  She didn't understand why Tian Liang insisted on doing so.

  "Hehe, don't worry, Sister Li. They're the most daring, but they wouldn't dare to steal things from a bank's safe deposit box. Trust me, huh?"

  He smiled mysteriously and deeply towards the sky, this time he decided to deceive everyone including his closest "comrade" Li Ya Juan.

  Li Yajuan couldn't help but laugh when she saw Xiang Tianliang chatting enthusiastically with a street cleaner, thinking to herself that he was indeed a country bumpkin who had nothing better to do.

  "Xiao Xiang, put things back."

  Xiang Tianliang nodded and slowly walked back to the car, asking enthusiastically: "Sister Li, today is New Year's Day, how do you plan to spend it?"

  "You said so, then it's settled." Li Yajuan smiled slyly.

  Thinking of Jiang Yuying's appointment on the note, in order to deceive Li Ayuan, I have to come up with a plausible excuse.

  "I want to return Liu Jie's car."

  Li Ya Juan's expression was somewhat downcast as she headed towards the car in the bright daylight, but was stopped by Liu Qingqing, "You, you're not going back to my place?"

  "How is that possible?" Tian Liang sat in the driver's seat, closed the door, started the car and said, "Sister Li, I've arranged it like this: first, I'll return the car, then have lunch at Teacher Liu's house. After lunch, I'll go back to your place and take a nap to make up for last night's sleep. Tonight, I want to eat Sister Li's braised pork and sweet and sour fish, and if there's wine, that would be even better..."

  "Alright, it's settled then."

  Before dawn broke, Li Yajuan smiled and agreed. She hadn't had a man accompany her on New Year's Day for two years now, and to her, this was a happy life.

  When did I learn how to lie? Facing the dawn, he couldn't help but ask himself, it should be after entering the organization.

  Send Li Yajuan back home, Xiang Tianliang drove the car and headed straight for Gangtou Teahouse.

  The Gangtou Wharf is located near the wharf in Qinghe City. Although this place is also a part of the city, it's not as bustling and lively as other areas. At first glance, except for the docked ships and cranes, the wharf looks particularly deserted during holidays.

  A strong sea wind blew in, bringing with it coldness and a salty smell.

  Toward the bright sky, I don't understand why the elegant and refined Jiang Yuying would choose this place to meet with me.

  This answer was soon told by Jiang Yuying herself to Xiang Tianliang.

  Jiang Yuying arrived earlier than Xiang Tianliang, and as soon as she saw him, she warmly welcomed him.

  "Xiao Xiang, you're quite punctual."

  "Director Chiang, you're still early."

  Jiang Yuying's face turned stern, "What did you just call me? Have you forgotten the agreement we made when we first met?"

  "Jiang sister, hello."

  "Hmm... Is this right?"

  Jiang Yuying walked in as if nobody was there, grabbed Xiang Tianliang's arm and pulled him inside, completely ignoring the gaze of the waiters.

  His face turned bright red towards the sky, which made him feel quite embarrassed, after all, it was a public place.

  After sitting down in the private room, Jiang Yuying smiled and said: "Xiao Xiang, this is my parents' tea house, just like our own home, you don't have to be nervous."

  Suddenly enlightened towards the bright sky, a long sigh of relief in her heart.

  "My father used to be the logistics director of the harbour authority, and only after he retired did he open this teahouse. I grew up on the docks from a young age, so I'm familiar with and like everything here, including the strong smell of salt in the sea breeze."

  Xiang Tianliang replied: "I also like the ocean, our home is less than ten miles from the sea, and when I was a kid, I often went to play by the sea."

  "Hmm... so it seems we still have some common ground after all."

  Jiang Yuying smiled and stood up, taking off her coat. Instead of sitting back in her original seat, she sat down beside Xiang Tianliang.

  He had mentally prepared himself for a long time to face the dawn, and being disturbed was inevitable. It's just that he didn't expect Jiang Yuying to be so direct and come at him with such force.

  Before he could adjust his sitting position, Jiang Yuying had already pressed the stethoscope against her body. Nowadays, women have a common virtue: they want elegance but not warmth. On such a cold winter day, she was wearing something so thin that as soon as Jiang Yuying touched her, Xiang Tianliang could unmistakably feel that under her thin woolen sweater, there was only the coveted bra.

  "Jiang Jie, you said...you said about the loan, is it possible to finalize it?" Let's talk business first.

  "Is it going to be 200,000?"

  Jiang Yuying took over from Tian Liang, on the one hand discussing matters and on the other "handling" matters, a true professional woman, using her heart in two ways without neglecting either.

  "Uh-huh, just borrow 200,000." It's "borrow", not "want", with a clear tone.

  "Does this 200,000 mean anything to you?"

  "No, it's like this..."

  Toward Tian Liang explained the purpose of the loan.

  Jiang Yuying smiled and flirted, constantly using her body to squeeze against the space towards dawn, without any signs of retreat.

  Finally, Xiang Tianliang retreated without being able to retreat anymore.

  Jiang Yuying took advantage of the moment when he was hesitating, lifted her buttocks and skillfully sat on his knees, stretched out a pair of jade arms, and familiarly hooked around his neck.

  A whiff of fragrance wafts up, a dizzying array towards the sky, what an enticing aroma.

  Jiang Yuying's small movements were continuous, one jade hand quickly changed places, slid to Xiang Tianliang, grasped his already impatient big fellow, and softly praised him.

  "My goodness, what a huge sum of money!"

  Tian Liang's whole body shook, and he felt his entire body burning hot, with boiling blood that wouldn't stop.

  "Slap."

  The door of the private room was suddenly pushed open.
