Chapter 177: Becoming Jane Austen
"I slept in a daze. He Zhen pulled someone to sit on the small sofa next to him, and poured her a glass of water from the table, "Winter rain usually doesn't thunder, or are you afraid of thunder?"
Teng Shuyue hurriedly shook her head and denied that she was not so squeamish.
Retracted his gaze at this simple study, but only those few glances had completely seen through the entire study. The large dark oak-coloured desk in the center is very large, with many intricate documents, two computers and a laptop, and the modern eye-protecting table lamp, which won the Red Dot Design Award the year before, stands in a prominent position on the table, emitting a modest light.
Occupying both walls are bookshelves, and the various books on them are arranged according to the same column, maybe Chinese on one side, foreign languages or others on the other, she doesn't look carefully, but at a glance she can see the striking 24 Shi and Zizhi Tongjian books; and there are Shakespeare literature and Jane Austen's novels, which are too classic.
"Do you like Jane Austen too?"
He Zhen knew that she was not afraid of thunder, and he was a little relieved, and walked to the bookshelf and took down one of the books in that row to show her, "Who doesn't want to be Jane Austen? ”
"Do you also love "Sense and Sensibility" the most?" Teng Shuyue glanced at the title of the book, she had read this book, she had read it when she was in school, "In the movies directed by Ang Lee, this is what I love the most." ”
"'Sense and Sensibility' and 'Pride and Prejudice' are all good, and you can't go wrong with talking about this with the British, and no one doesn't love Jane Austen, you say?"
He Zhen smiled and handed her the book in his hand, "Ang Lee's films are of high quality, including those early films, I mean I watched a few before he went to Hollywood. ”
I agree with that, and it was our homework at the time, and I did watch a lot of it back then, but "Sense and Sensibility" is really still one of my favorites, Eleanor and Edward's love twists and turns, there is a kind of sad but happy ending that is different from Shakespeare, and I like this. ”
"Oh, by what you said, I think we should watch this movie together after dinner tomorrow, what do you think?" He Zhen blinked and smiled, "I'm okay with that, do you have time?"
"I've been spending a lot of time lately and I don't want to go out. Teng Shuyue's big eyes stared at him without blinking, which was enough to make him sink deep and not dare to look more, "So, can I stay with you for a few more days?"
"Of course, you can, you can be here all the time. But I want to say in advance, I am tentatively scheduled to go to Beihai to see a project in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, and I may not be able to stay for you to cook. He Zhen glanced at the itinerary on the tablet screen, "Of course, if you want, we can also go together." ”
"Are you going to Beihai Fishing Village?" Teng Shuyue wondered, "Are you sure it's not Wall Street but Beihai?"
"Fishing village development project, the project people said that the local urgent development of tourism, planning to go over to investigate, but before that we need to know whether it will be requisitioned by the state to do docks and the like, but also to see whether the geographical location is worth developing, after all, the development is not just to see a scenic spot, from the traffic, housing and natural flow of people to reconsider, and also to book whether to make a boutique or a thorough and comprehensive development, all fishermen can participate, but also a deeper level of view, but it is really suitable to go together. He Zhen looked at her and asked seriously, "How is it?"
There is interest, but she doesn't know whether she should go or not, on the one hand, she wants to escape all the things she doesn't want to face, and on the other hand, she feels that going on a business trip with He Zhen is not the right decision, and even wonders if having her join will affect his work schedule.
"Are you an inspection group?" Teng Shuyue thought for a while and asked, "How many days are you going to stay over there?"
Teng Shuyue glanced at the arranged itinerary and frowned slightly, "It was originally scheduled to be a two-day trip, and then the arrangement was to go to the provincial capital city to see a rare metal company in He's, more than ten years ago, my mother led the management and development of non-ferrous metal companies, and it has also been successfully listed in recent years, but even if the metal plate has continued to rise in recent years, the market value has not come up, and there are fewer and fewer veins that can be developed, so I don't know if it is the right choice to stay here...... I haven't been involved much in the past few years, but I should check it out. ”
"Do you still want to inspect the company? Then there is still time to check ......" She wanted to say, can she still have time to go to the beach? If she really wants to visit, it is to go to the original fishing village and the seaside, not to see some non-ferrous metals or something.
He Zhen obviously saw her concerns, but she couldn't help laughing, and said in a soft voice, "If you don't want to go with me, we can go over first, and have a good time in the fishing village first, without anyone else, save ourselves, just take a vacation." ”
"Is that so?" To be honest, compared to Jane Austen's films, she felt that the wet and salty sea breeze and quiet and peaceful fishing villages were more suitable for her, and the North Sea was not cold at all in this season, and the temperature and climate were also very suitable, even if there was a little chill, it would be at least at night, and she was not afraid at all!
"You can think about it, if we leave early, we will leave without the team first, and then we will read it ourselves, we will go to the city together, I will go to the company for a meeting, you can choose to come back early by yourself, or stay in the hotel to rest. He Zhen thought for a while and said, "I remember that there are a lot of things worth seeing in their provincial capital, there is a very famous twilight exhibition hall to see, a modern art exhibition hall with a sense of design, we can go and see together, whether it is the new generation of various types of paintings, or the designers of pottery lacquerware are very thoughtful." ”
"You like these?" Teng Shuyue tilted his head to look at him.
He Zhen held her head and straightened it, the movement was very natural, and then shook his head seriously, "I thought you would like it." ”
"No, I don't feel their soul in these artworks, I just like to keep my feet on the ground. ”
"Farming, farmers?" He Zhen couldn't laugh, and thought she was telling a bad joke or a joke on the Internet, "You are a glamorous female star, you told me that your favorite is farming?"
Teng Shuyue's gaze was a little cold, but because of the angle, He Zhen didn't notice this, but continued to ask: "Then what do you say you like to plant, rice, soybeans or peanuts and corn?"
Teng Shuyue stood up suddenly, and then pushed his arm away with a gentle movement, looking at him calmly and said, "Mr. He, let's continue to work, I'm sleepy." ”
He Zhen's half-vacated fingers stiffened, still hanging in the air in embarrassment, thinking that this was provoked by the sentence just now, and he was a little more annoyed for a while, but he didn't rashly explain.
At this time, he spoke again, only to draw more and more black, and even added more misunderstandings than worth the loss, it was better to say later that he was not that intention, he just instinctively felt that the contrast was a little big.
"Besides, I'm not used to having someone next to me when I sleep, why don't you consider letting me go in the master bedroom?" Teng Shuyue turned his back and walked out, chuckling: "After all, you are a very competent and good master, thank you very much!"
