At Bamboo Tea-house-
The tea fragrance lingers around the bamboos, and the sound of the water is clear and crisp, accompanied by the melodious sound of the piano, which has some ancient classic charm.
In a private box named Peony.
Poppy and a man sit face to face. Her red lips raises a very light sneer smile, and the man opposite looks impatient. "Poppy, right? Do you really have the project planning book of the Green's enterprise?"
"Why would I have to deceive you after asking you out?" Poppy's tone is chilly and her eyes doesn't have any fluctuation, but what she said makes the man glad.
The man immediately pours her a cup of tea. "Let's talk about it!"
Since receiving her phone call, his heart has been uneasy. She said that she has the project planning of the Greens' enterprise. It's very clear for everyone that what this means. If he wants to beat the Greens' enterprise in the next quarter, this project planning will help him a lot.
At first, he didn't believe it. But she was so confident that he decided to gamble for it. That's why they meet here.
"There's nothing more to talk about. We just take what we need." She is indifferent and takes out a brown paper bag from the her bag. "The planning book is here."
After putting the paper bag on the table, she waits for the man's reaction.
The man is very smart. He immediately takes out the check he has prepared. "Here is a million dollars. After I make sure this is true, the check will belong to you."
Poppy takes the check over and says, "go ahead."
There is the official seal of the Greens' enterprise in the planning. And it has all kinds of detailed reports and performance reports. It can't be fake.
When the man gets the paper bag, he immediately opens it for inspection. Poppy takes a sip of the tea. She feels it tastes strange, but she doesn't think much about it, and she slowly drinks it.
After about 10 minutes, the man smiles contentedly. "I checked it. It is exactly what our company needs. Thank you."
Poppy chuckles. "We just takes what we need."
The man is very happy and raises his cup. "If there is a chance, I hope we can cooperate again in the future." He is one of the rivals of the Greens, so naturally he wants to get more information about his rival.
“Sure.” Poppy also raises the cup and drinks all the tea in it.
"May I ask you a question?" The man is still curious about how she got the planning book and why she sells it to him.
Poppy refuses to answer. "Don't ask me where I got it and why I choose your company. I won't answer."
Their purposes are nothing more than trade, and she refuses to answer any questions beyond trade.
The man shows a little embarrassed. He says, "OK."
After goes out of the tea house, Poppy takes a taxi and leaves.
It seems that the bustle of the city every day will never stop. She looks at the traffic crowd outside the window, and thinks about something. A while later, a familiar pain on her stomach makes her frown.
With the spread of the pain, her face gradually turns pale, even her forehead is covered with some sweat.
Holy crap! The stomachache comes to her again!
Her stomach is as painful as being scratched by a knife. She closes her eyes and opens them again. But it can't relieve the pain. And it becomes more and more unbearable.
"Sir, please take me to the center hospital." Poppy says.
The driver looks at her in the rear-view mirror and worried, "what's the matter, Miss?"
