C7 32 Stars of Sunken Wood

"Mr. Zhang, take a look at what we were talking about. If you think there are no problems with the content, sign here." Zhao Chuchu arranged a document from beginning to end and placed it in front of Zhang Shan.

Zhang Shan only skimmed through it briefly before signing his name at the end of the document. "I know you are very serious about your work."

Zhao Chuchu just looked at him blankly. Until now, she still did not react.

Zhang Shan was indeed the biggest philanthropist in the city. Therefore, the assets under his name were definitely not few. Generally, people like him would divide the property and real estate in his hands into several sections and hand them over to different companies to manage separately. But now, Zhang Shan had handed over all his assets to her because of the first time they met. She had signed such an important event. No wonder the manager didn't bother with her asking for leave.

"Miss Zhao?" Zhang Shan looked at the time and said to Zhao Chuchu, "It is almost noon. Shall we have lunch together?"

Zhao Chuchu recovered from her surprise. She hesitated for a while before nodding. She stretched out her right hand and revealed a professional smile, "I wish us a happy cooperation."

Zhang Shan's fingers were very warm. He and Zhao Chuchu only lightly shook hands before letting go. He made an inviting gesture to Zhao Chuchu. Zhao Chuchu walked slightly closer to the front. She moved her finger and gently shook her head. It must be because of the weather. That was why Zhang Shan's fingers were so cold in the warm mourning hall.

They ate lunch in a restaurant that Zhang Shan introduced. The environment here was simple and clean. The price of meals was very cheap. They had a very pleasant meal. Mr. Zhang was both humorous and talkative. He was already middle-aged, so he had a lot of knowledge. His behavior was also very gentlemanly. He even sent Zhao Chuchu back to the company's entrance after lunch before leaving.

Zhao Chuchu looked at Zhang Shan's back and rubbed her arms. She smiled.

Actually, Zhang Shan was not bad. His tutoring was very strict. He was truly loving.

Zhao Chuchu overturned her thoughts about Zhang Shan when they first met. She placed Zhang Shan in the position of an ordinary client.

"Do you know Zhang Shan?"

Zhao Chuchu had just fastened her seatbelt when she heard Lu Hsinggui's question. She was stunned for a while, then narrowed her eyes and stared at him. "You even sent people to the company to monitor me?"

It was currently the peak period after work. Not long after Lu Hsinggui drove the car out of the garage, it was blocked and parked. He turned his head and looked at Zhao Chuchu, who had an unfriendly look in her eyes. "I told you. In the following period of time, we will enter and leave together."

This was indeed what Lu Hsinggui had said. But Zhao Chuchu did not expect that she would even report her work to Lu Hsinggui. She snorted coldly. "Do you want me to tell you what kind of contract I signed with Mr. Zhang today and what we said? Maybe the words that I and Zhang Shan have said are on your desk. Those documents are more detailed than what I told you. "

Lu Hsinggui did not care about Zhao Chuchu's sarcasm. He only glanced at Zhao Chuchu and said, "Zhang Shan is not simple."

"Yes. He is not simple. He's my accomplice. Today, under the name of signing the contract, he transferred a sum of money to me privately." Zhao Chuchu continued to snort. Compared to Zhang Shan's gentlemanly demeanor, Lu Hsinggui was simply like an unreasonable child. She laughed twice and said, "That's not right. Didn't Zhang Shan and I give you a chance to find evidence?"

As expected, Lu Hsinggui shut his mouth. He drove off.

For the next few days, Zhang Shan did not cross the border. He only occasionally called to ask about the flow of his assets and the recent financial management policies and products.

He started from scratch and founded the Shangshan Shoe Retailer. He had experienced many setbacks, but he still had his own position in the economic circle. He had his own understanding of finance. His occasional thoughts were all good experiences for Zhao Chuchu. After a while, on the contrary, Zhao Chuchu had more contact with Zhang Shan. Zhang Shan was not stingy at all. He was willing to share his experience with Zhao Chuchu. The relationship between him and Zhao Chuchu was like master and disciple, but also like friends.

That afternoon, Zhao Chuchu finished reporting on the recent financial situation in the coffee shop that Zhang Shan had booked. She drank a mouthful of coffee and prepared to take her leave.

However, Zhang Shan stopped her. He took out a file from his folder.

"Chuchu, don't worry. Take a look at this."

Zhao Chuchu was stunned for a moment before she sat back into the chair. She did not directly reach out to receive the documents. She asked doubtfully, "What is this?"

Zhang Shan was a little embarrassed. He smiled and said, "This is the main style of the Shangshan Shoe Retailer for the next season."

Zhao Chuchu raised her eyebrows. She did not understand what Zhang Shan meant. This information could be considered a trade secret. Why did Zhang Shan bring this information over for her to see?

"I've always liked to design high heels. When I created the Shangshan Shoe Retailer, I hoped that my mother would one day wear the high heels that I personally designed." Zhang Shan shook his head. Zhao Chuchu did not continue asking. She had checked Zhang Shan's information. It was said that Zhang Shan's biological mother passed away two months before the establishment of Shangshan Shoe Retailer. Her death was very sudden. This was a pity.

He pointed at the document bag and said: "These are some of the most satisfactory works I've designed over the years. I want you to help me take a look "

"Mr. Zhang, I am a layman."

Zhang Shan, on the other hand, was very tough. He pushed the document bag in front of Zhao Chuchu and said, "Miss Zhao, I will not hide it from you. The reason why I took out these works was because of your feet. I am a high heels designer. I often deal with other people's feet. I rarely see people with legs as beautiful as yours. I hope you can help me try and choose the most satisfied pair of high heels as the main pair. This will make my mother rest in peace."

Zhao Chuchu was very puzzled. Why did he think so? Why was this matter related to his biological mother? If she didn't accept the document envelope, would Zhang Shan say something even more filial?

She smiled a little forcefully and took the document bag to open it. There were more than thirty pictures inside. All of them were women's high heels. There were more than 30 pairs of beautiful high heels with different styles. The date was marked on the back of each pair of high heels. The time was very uneven. The earliest pair of thanks was actually designed before the establishment of the Shangshan Shoe Retailer.

Zhang Shan saw Zhao Chuchu holding the picture and said very nostalgic, "This is the first pair of high heels I designed for my mother. But it's a pity."

Zhang Shan did not continue. Zhao Chuchu thought about his mother's death. She quickly changed the map.

"Mr. Zhang, you are very talented." The more Zhao Chuchu looked, the more stunned she became. These shoes were indeed beautiful. No wonder Zhang Shan kept these shoes for a long time. She could already predict how high the Shangshan Shoe Retailer would be able to reach after this batch of works was released.

"Thank you."

Zhao Chuchu lifted her head and praised Zhang Shan, then she continued to watch. But when she saw the next picture, she was very shocked. She took a deep breath and almost pinched the paper.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this picture?"

"No. It's just that this design draft makes me too excited." Zhao Chuchu placed all the documents on the table. Her slightly trembling hands were placed on the table at the same time. She used the table to stabilize her emotions.

She smiled at Zhang Shan and said, "It's very beautiful."

Zhang Shan looked at the picture and smiled. He was very satisfied with his work. "This pair of high heels is called Thirty-two Stars of Sunken Wood. You can take a look at the next pair of high heels. I think it suits you very well. "

Suitable for me?

Zhao Chuchu was very shocked. She smiled and took out the last picture.

"This pair is called King Chu's Three Trigrams."

Zhao Chuchu did not even have time to look at the picture before her phone on the table vibrated.

She looked at the phone and smiled at Zhang Shan. She stood up and picked up the phone. "Yes. Are you in a hurry? Then I'll come over now. "

Zhang Shan heard some of her words. He only put away his design drafts. He asked Zhao Chuchu, "Do you need me to give you a gift?"

Zhao Chuchu hesitated for a moment before nodding her head. She asked Zhang Shan to send her back to the company. After Zhang Shan left, Zhao Chuchu hurriedly ran out. She called a taxi and went straight to the police station.

Zhao Chuchu only showed her complete fear after sitting in the car. She shuddered violently. She only took Lu Hsingnuan's phone out with trembling hands. She opened the album and flipped through it a few times before stopping abruptly. This was a photo of Lu Hsingnuan's feet. There was also a little peach heart printed on the picture by Lu Hsingnuan. The pair of high heels called Thirty-two Stars of Sunken Wood were called the theme of the next season's high heels. It was currently worn on Lu Hsingnuan's feet!

Zhao Chuchu took a deep breath. She did not even dare to think about it. Was this a coincidence? Those were the shoes Lu Hsingnuan had worn. The name of the pair of shoes was Thirty-two Stars of Sunken Wood.

If Officer Lin had not suddenly called, Zhao Chuchu would not have known how she would have continued to hide in front of Zhang Shan.

Officer Lin had already waited in the reception room for a while. Zhao Chuchu knocked on the door and took a cup of hot water from Officer Lin. After that, she slightly calmed down from her fear.

"Miss Zhao, I'm sorry that we suddenly called you and called you over."

Officer Lin sat opposite Zhao Chuchu. Zhao Chuchu kept looking at him. Now she had calmed down. She had gotten rid of the fear of guessing and regained her reason. She took a sip of water and said in a low voice, "This is the second time."

This was the second time he had taken her away from Zhang Shan.

Zhao Chuchu put down the cup. She straightened up and asked Officer Lin, "Did you suspect Zhang Shan a long time ago?"

Officer Lin asked in surprise, "Miss Zhao, why do you say that? Did you discover something?"

"Yes. Zhang Shan was showing me the drawings of the high heels that he had personally designed for the next season. Nuan once wore a pair of high heels that he called Thirty-two Stars of Sunken Wood." Zhao Chuchu took out the photo and showed it to Officer Lin. Officer Lin was slightly surprised that she had a warm phone. But he was quickly attracted by the picture.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure," Zhao Chuchu nodded. She pointed out the details of the high heels to Officer Lin. She said in fear, "Nuan's legs were chopped off when she was killed. How could things be so coincidental?"

Officer Lin did not interrupt. He just looked at Zhao Chuchu. Zhao Chuchu muttered, "Which pair of shoes did Nuan wear when her legs were cut off?"

This was also what Officer Lin was puzzled about previously. Lu Hsingnuan's luggage was found in the hotel. But according to their investigation and evidence, all her shoes were in the hotel. But now, this doubt seemed to have been solved.

"Even if Zhang Shan isn't the murderer, he must be related to this matter!" Zhao Chuchu slammed her palm on the table. Her eyes quickly turned red. She felt more and more heartache for Lu Hsingnuan. This was more serious than her previous worries.
