Chapter 34(1/2)
As one of Mr. Chi Jiang's business partners in Qiantang, Mr. Sun has been in close contact with Mrs. Chi Jiang in recent months because of project cooperation, so he was invited to attend Mrs. Chi Jiang's birthday party. The head of the technical department and Lin Yan were also accompanied by Zhan Xi.
Dong Cheng said that Mr. Chi Jiang was very grateful to Zhan Xi for making the bridge and finally implementing his ideas, and sincerely hoped that Zhan Xi could come together.
Zhan Xi had never attended such a banquet, and she didn't even have a decent dress. She still asked Luo Xinran to borrow the dress on her body.
Luo Xinran has attended some entertainment parties and her dressing style is relatively open. This moon-white long dress has a deep V-neck. Zhan Xi is similar in height and figure, and she is dressed quite well. The collar is too low, so she can only wear a white strapless breast inside. It is a bit ugly, so she feels at least.
She knew that she might meet Luo Jingyu, so she came early. Seeing Luo Jingyu walking out without looking back, Zhan Xi didn't shout, carrying a bag in her left hand, lifting her skirt with her right hand and chasing her.
Zhong Peng, Mo Yang and Xiao Li both saw this scene. Xiao Li knew nothing and wanted to follow Luo Jingyu out, but was grabbed by Zhong Peng.
Mo Yang typed it to him: [Brother Li, let’s go and rest first, wait for Senior Brother Luo.]
Xiao Li was so excited: "That was his girlfriend just now?"
Zhong Peng smiled very terrifiedly, and Mo Yang also pursed his lips and smiled, typing: [Maybe.]
Xiao Li looked envious: "His girlfriend is so beautiful!"
Mo Yang gave him a blank look: [Is Senior Brother Luo not handsome?]
Xiao Li put on Zhong Peng's shoulder: "Shirtless! Let's find a place to sit for a while. I'm so tired today."
Outside the banquet hall is an empty seating area. Outside a long row of floor-to-ceiling glass windows, you can see a lake view. The sunset is setting, and the lake is shimmering, and the scenery is beautiful and pleasant.
Luo Jingyu walked quickly in the light and shadow of the setting sun, but she did not take pleasure in it because she ran away. When someone grabbed her arm from behind, Luo Jingyu's heart was sinking, and she closed her eyes tightly, and she didn't dare to look back at all.
He didn't know that she would chase her out, what would she do? She said it very clearly. He was not illiterate and could recognize words! He understood the meaning! He lived in simplicity these days, wasn't he doing it properly? What else should he do?
Luo Jingyu really didn't know that, she stood up straight, but her head was lowered, and she gritted her teeth and didn't look back.
Zhan Xi stood behind him, grabbed his left arm tightly with his right hand, refusing to let go, for fear that he would run away again as soon as she let go.
Is he... still angry?
Zhan Xi shook his arm, Luo Jingyu did not move. Zhan Xi shook again, shook again, pouted, and shook it one after another. The two of them were in a stalemate, and neither of them wanted to move their positions, so it depends on who would compromise first.
A waiter pushed the dining cart and looked at them strangely. Luo Jingyu touched his gaze, sighed, and finally turned around to accept his fate.
He was wearing a black work suit, and he bought one for each of Zhong Peng, Mo Yang and Xiao Li. He was dressed like a team and could give people a more professional feeling.
Luo Jingyu has wide shoulders and long legs, and is even more heroic in work clothes. Zhan Xi let go of her hands and looked up at him. He was also looking at her with helpless expression.
Okay, if you continue to be stalemate, it depends on who speaks first.
This time, the one who lost is Zhan Xi. Who gave the person in front of him an innate advantage?
She shook her lips: "Little Fish, thank you, thank you for taking photos, taking care of the gift, I..."
She took out a square box from her bag and handed it to him, "Give it to you, shoulder and neck, massager." She gestured around her neck, "You always lower your head and work, it's better to use this comparison."
Zhan Xi didn't stutter on purpose, but the rest area was much colder than in the banquet hall. Although there was air conditioning, it was February day after all. She was wearing only a close-fitting single skirt. After standing for a long time, she couldn't help but her teeth were trembling with cold.
Luo Jingyu read her lips and saw that she was thin and had a large area of snow-white skin on her chest. She couldn't help but frown and took out her cell phone to type and asked: [Your clothes?]
"Are you coat?" Zhan Xi pointed to the banquet hall, "It's inside, it's hot inside and it's taken off."
Luo Jingyu really wanted to take off her coat and put it on her, but she felt it was not suitable, so Zhan Xi sent the box in front of him: "Take it."
He had no choice but to take it, thank her with his thumb, then took out the gray scarf from his bag and handed it to her, and made an action draped over his shoulders. Zhan Xi took it with a red face, obediently surrounding her shoulders, covering the large area of naked skin on her chest.
She also pointed at Luo Jingyu with a thumbs up, and he shook his hand and typed: [It's okay? I'm going to have dinner with them, I'm having very little lunch, I'm hungry.]
Are you impatient? What else do you have?
It was indeed nothing, so Zhan Xi prepared a gift to thank him. He didn't think of other words. He wrote several drafts in his mind, and after seeing him, he forgot all of them.
Luo Jingyu saw her standing stupidly, frowning tighter, and typed: [You go in, it's cold here.]
"Oh..." Zhan Xi asked, "Will you come back later?"
Luo Jingyu nodded and typed: [Come back after the end, tear down the tree.]
"Do you have to wait for the banquet to end?" Zhan Xixiang was disappointed, "Okay, then, when will that scarf be returned to you?"
Actually, I can pay it back now! But she just doesn't want to pay it back.
Luo Jingyu smiled bitterly, but she didn't know what Huanhuan was thinking. They lived up and downstairs and could do it any time, but it would be fine if they touched the elevator entrance.
He simply shook his hand, pointed at Zhanxi, and pointed at the banquet hall, meaning that she would go in quickly.
Zhan Xi had no reason to stay any longer, so he could only turn around and walk back.
Luo Jingyu looked at her back. This was the first time he saw Zhan Xi wearing a skirt and a slim long skirt. Her waist looked so thin, but she was too thin. Why didn’t she gain weight after a whole year? Luo Xiaomei had gained 5 kilograms.
At this time, Zhan Xi suddenly turned around and Luo Jingyu was startled, as if he was being caught in a voyeuristic manner. He could only stand still with a stern face, which looked very cool.
Zhan Xi smiled at him, and her whole body was bathed in the golden sunset, as if it was glowing hazy. She put on exquisite makeup, bright eyes and white teeth, which were really beautiful.
Dong Cheng gave Luo Jingyu four hotel buffet coupons. Four men in black went to the restaurant for dinner. The two children were hungry and excited. They walked around with their plates and drooled and took a lot of food.
Luo Jingyu was also very hungry, but because she was in a complicated mood when she saw Zhan Xi, she lost interest in food for a while, so she took a plate of food and ate it slowly.
The box of shoulder and neck massager was placed on the table. Luo Jingyu looked at it and thought, why did Huanhuan give him something again? Just because he took care of the gift? Did she think he was meddling in other people's business? So giving him something means not to owe him favors?
Maybe this is the reason...it seems that he did not do it properly enough.
In the banquet hall, Zhan Xi finally met Mrs. Chi Jiang, an elegant middle-aged woman, not tall, with a gentle smile, wearing a delicate light pink kimono and a dignified bun.
Mr. Chi Jiang gave her a birthday gift of a cherry blossom diamond hair comb. Under the cherry blossom tree, he gently put his hair comb on his wife's bun, and the guests applauded.
Dong Cheng held the microphone and told everyone a little story. Mr. Chi Jiang was a poor boy when he was young, but Mrs. Chi Jiang was a wealthy lady. She came with Mr. Chi Jiang despite her parents' opposition. Their first date was to enjoy the cherry blossoms.
Moreover, Mrs. Chijiang's single name is "Sakura". Therefore, for the two, cherry blossoms are not only the memory of their hometown, but also represent their long-lasting relationship.
Mrs. Chi Jiang burst into tears in emotion. Only Zhan Xi and Dong Cheng knew that the Yae Sakura on the hair comb was made by Mr. Chi Jiang himself.
Zhan Xi imagined that scene, a business man in his fifties wearing reading glasses, clumsyly cut flowers, dyed them with a brush pen, and held a perm... It is really enviable that Mrs. Chi Jiang was treated with such sincere treatment.
The banquet is a buffet. After a simple ceremony, everyone has free meals. Business masters gathered together to have a happy conversation, saying it was a birthday party, which can also be regarded as a social opportunity for everyone.
The cherry tree was quietly standing in a corner of the venue, with pink and white flowers spreading on the branches in clusters, and the branches were almost impossible to see. You could see the fake and real ones a few meters away. Only when you get very close can you see the fabric pattern on the petals.
There are always people taking photos by the tree, most of which are female guests. Zhan Xi happily concaves the tree, and asked Lin Yan to take several photos for her.
Seeing that she had been wearing a gray scarf, Lin Yan asked, "Do you want to take off the scarf? It will look better."
Zhan Xi touched the scarf, shook his head and said, "No, it's too cold."
While standing by the tree and looking at the photos on the background board, Zhan Xi heard a female voice saying, "What is this? When I came in just now, I thought it was real! I was thinking about how there will be cherry blossoms in this season?"
Zhan Xi turned his head and found that the person who was talking was a blue-clothed woman in her forties. She was asking another female companion. They were both wearing dresses and a lot of jewelry on her body. She reached out to touch the cherry blossom petals, with curious faces.
Zhan Xi quickly went up to answer for them: "Hello, this is made of hot flowering technology. The material is cloth, not ordinary cloth, but special fabric for hot flowering."
"Hot-hot flower craft?" Mrs. Blue probably heard of this term for the first time and didn't understand it very much.
Zhan Xi briefly introduced her to them. She is now Wang Yuyan in the hot flower world. She is definitely not good at getting started. She is the number one in the talks on paper!
Lin Yan stood beside her with his hands behind his back, and heard her speak with great sarcasm.
After hearing this, Mrs. Blue was surprised: "It's not made by a machine? It's purely handmade? It's all?"
Zhan Xi said: "Yes, the trunk was made by a sculpture teacher. All the petals, leaves, including the stems below and the stamens inside you are all made by hand! It's useless at all. This cherry blossom tree is definitely the only one in the world."
Rich wives are very sensitive to "pure handmade" because it symbolizes uniqueness!
"It sounds really good! Is this easy to learn?" asked Mrs. Blue.
"It's easy to get started, and it's difficult to do it well. It takes several years to study it." Zhan Xi said with a smile. "This tree is a relatively rare large work. Usually the hot flower works are not that big. I know this tree-making teacher. He helped me make a pot of ornaments on the table, which are lilies and birds of paradise. They are very realistic and suitable for viewing at home or in the company and can be preserved forever."
Seeing that Mrs. Blue and her companions were not bored and still interested, Zhan Xi swallowed and continued, "There are some smaller ornaments, very delicate ones, suitable for placing them on the bedside table, dining table, entrance cabinet, and larger ones can be placed on the office desk, company front desk, and conference table. In fact, it is more cost-effective than flowers, and the flower arrangement will fade. The potted plants are not good-looking and the flowering period is short."
Mrs. Blue asked: "Can all these be customized?"
"Of course." Zhan Xi pointed to the cherry blossom tree, "Isn't this a custom one?"
She didn't mention the price. Most of the guests who could be here were rich, and they didn't take tens of thousands of dollars seriously at all. They bought a bag for tens of thousands of dollars.
She looked at Mrs. Blue expectantly, and the other party really said the words that made her excited: "Little girl, do you know this teacher? Can you give me a contact information? I also want him to make a flower for me. I especially like peony. Can I do it?"
"Yes! You can do any kind of flowers!" Zhan Xi didn't care about it anymore and brag about it first, "That... this teacher is actually in the hotel now and may be resting outside. Do you need to interview him?"
"Really? That's the best!" Mrs. Blue was very happy, "I like this kind of artist the most!"
"But..." Zhan Xi said with a smile, "He has a little bit of communication difficulties, and he can't hear it. Do you mind?"
Lin Yan who kept listening: "?"
Mrs. Blue was stunned for a moment, looked at her companion, and said hesitantly: "I don't mind, but how can I talk about this?"
Zhan Xi said: "He can read the lips. If you speak slowly, he can understand it. I can convey his meaning to him. If you want to see him, I can call him over now."
Mrs. Blue nodded cheerfully: "Okay, call him here, just be able to help communicate."
Lin Yan heard their conversation. He looked at Zhan Xi's eyes more and more confused, but he didn't interrupt and said anything.
In the hotel lobby bar, Zhong Peng and Mo Yang were already asleep on the sofa. Xiao Li sneaked out to smoke, and Luo Jingyu also leaned on the back of the chair and closed her eyes to rest.
The phone in his pocket vibrated, and he took it out and saw that it was Zhan Xi’s WeChat!
