In the Duolan Cafe.
Josephine Liang, wearing sunglasses, sat in the corner and raised her hand to check her watch from time to time.
There was a melodious piano piece in the cafe, but she was not in the mood to appreciate it. Her heart was even more irritated.
Perhaps because she had been waiting for a long time, her lips with a brick- red lipstick on were pursed into a line.
She had already finished her coffee. She had had three cups of coffee successively, and she's not gonna have another one.
It was half-past three. She had been sitting here for two hours, but the person she was waiting for had not come yet.
She had already run out of patience, so she picked up the phone and dialed a phone number.
After a while, the phone was connected. She asked in a hurry, "Didn't we make an appointment at 2 O'clock? Why haven't you come yet?"
The person on the other end of the phone answered casually, "I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. I can't come today."
"What? You can't come?"

"What's there to be unclear about? I know that you're worried, Big Star Josephine, but don't worry. I won't delay what I should do."
"Well, with your words, I'm relieved."
The woman at the other end of the phone seemed to be too lazy to talk nonsense with her and impatiently said, "Well, that's it."
Josephine changed her mind and said in a hurry, "Kole, although our last plan didn't succeed, you have to know that we are in this together."
"I see. Go ahead and do whatever you want."
After hanging up the phone, Josephine threw the phone into the sofa chair angrily. "Margot Wang, you b*tch!"
She grabbed her handbag and was about to leave when the cell phone rang.
She picked it up and saw that it was August Liang. She picked it up irritably. "Dad, what's it... What? I'll be right there!"

She pushed open the door of the chairman's office, and rushed in. "Dad, what's going on?"
August Liang was pacing back and forth restlessly, a half-smoked cigarette in his hand, the anxiety and tension on his face evident.
Though Josephine had been admonished by him the previous two days, she was his own daughter. Now, as soon as he saw Josephine, his face brightened a little, he said, "Josephine, here you
