Chapter 1008: A Gentleman Doesn't Stand Under a Dangerous Wall!
Avril poured Qiao Zhi a cup of tea, Qiao Zhi took a sip, and his taste buds began to decipher the ingredients, and soon came to the answer, it should be the top herbal tea.
With the luxurious decoration of the study, it has a retro charm.
Herbal tea in the West is like herbal tea in China, and has long played an important role in the formulation of folk medicine. It was not until the last two or three hundred years that the French gradually developed flower tea as a leisure drink in addition to the mainstream of medicinal use.
This wind also spread to Europe, the United States, island countries, etc., and even spread to the treasure island.
"Are you used to drinking?" Avril was a little curious when she saw Qiao Zhi drinking slowly.
"I'm not taboo, as long as it's not poison, I can try it. Qiao Zhi smiled, "As a chef, you must have the courage to accept a variety of taste experiences. ”
"You're not afraid I'm going to poison you?" Avril joked deliberately.
"Poisoning, killing me, what's the benefit to you?" Qiao Zhi smiled, "The tea we drank came from a teapot, could it be that you took an antidote in advance in order to poison me?"
"Poisoning doesn't have to kill or hurt people, it can also be fascinating. Avril smiled lightly.
Qiao Zhi sighed softly, "You really know how to joke, I still have self-knowledge, you don't bother to charm me with three indiscriminate tricks." Of course, I'm an upright person, and no one can disturb me except my wife, even if I use external means. ”
Avril couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are still so young, why do you want to suppress your true heart? I can see that your partner likes you very much, and you are also interested in her.
Qiao Zhi smiled faintly, "I didn't expect you to be a mouth king!"
Qiao Zhi added the Chinese word "口hi" to English.
"What?" Avril looked at Qiao Zhi suspiciously.
"The meaning of the king of the mouth is that you are only good at saying some strange and shocking things with your mouth, but if you practice it yourself, you will reveal your true colors. Qiao Zhi shook his head and sighed, "You are in your twenties this year, no accident, you haven't been in love before!"
Avril's face turned cold, and the answer was plausible, "I have a boyfriend!"
There is a difference between having a boyfriend and being in a relationship.
Qiao Zhi sighed and said: "The boyfriend of the heir of the Wallis family must be the right one, but do you have a deep relationship? You probably haven't seen him a few times so far, have you experienced it?"
"You!" Avril didn't expect to be angry, restraining her anger, and a relaxed smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "You are very powerful, and you have successfully caused my anger." That's right, I haven't experienced complicated trivial matters between men and women, and in my opinion, male and female love is ridiculous and low-level, the most primitive desire hidden in human beings, ugly and low-level. ”
Qiao Zhi sighed softly, "I haven't experienced it, don't say I don't love it." Take cooking, for example, if you have just experienced it for yourself, it must have changed. As for the affairs of men and women, although the happiness is very short-lived, it is still quite pleasant. ”
Avril only felt a hot breath floating on her face, but she didn't expect to have a shy reaction.
"What? are you going to let me feel it for myself?"
Qiao Zhi was stunned.
I didn't expect a little chick to dare to be so arrogant with himself.
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in you. You're too ugly to be my type. Qiao Zhi decided to use the attack to defuse the opponent's offensive. "I'm ugly, do you have a problem with your eyes?" Avril was depressed, and it was the first time she had heard someone say anything about her appearance.
"How can there be something wrong with my eyes? I look at every part of your body very carefully. I think it's because you have a problem with your mind, you are in a closed environment all day long, everyone says that you are beautiful, flattering you, and as a result, you believe it and feel that you are a fairy beauty. Qiao Zhi said nonsense.
Avril is not so easy to fool, "I do have a lot of people around me who flatter me, but I still have a basic aesthetic, and the people who pursue me, each one is better than you, and they will not deliberately flatter me." Your current state of mind is like that of a hungry fox who sees that ripe grapes can't reach them, and can only denigrate them as sour. ”
Qiao Zhi was slightly stunned.
Unexpectedly, Avril explained the fable of not being able to eat grapes and saying that grapes are sour in English.
It shows that this little fox is anxious.
"Others are pursuing you, not because of how good you are, but because you are the heir of the Wallis family, and you can get great benefits after chasing you. And I'm not interested in the Wallis family, and I don't mean to please you in any way, so I'm more direct and truthful......"
"You ......"
Avril was speechless.
When did the Wallis family become a burden and a burden?
Qiao Zhi often saw the comments of netizens on the Internet, and pondered why he couldn't scold others.
In the end, it was concluded that netizens adopted the trick of moral kidnapping.
For example, questioning Qiao Zhi's cooking skills, no professional evaluation is required, as long as Qiao Zhi's mother-in-law is the chairman of Huaixiang Group, which can attract a lot of hatred.
Now Qiao Zhi has borrowed this trick.
It doesn't matter if Avril is good-looking or not, using the key word of the Wallis family, you can be morally kidnapped, and you will fall into passivity when you quarrel.
In short, you are a chaebol and you are guilty!
Seeing that Avril was so angry that her facial muscles twitched, Qiao Zhi was a little unbearable, but now he is also your partner, and he is angry and has a heart attack, which is not good.
"I'm kidding you, why take it so seriously. Qiao Zhi smiled, "I admit that you still conform to most people's aesthetics, but I'm already married, so don't joke with a married man, that's testing my moral integrity." ”
Avril snorted, "Well, I'll admit, you're loyal to your marriage. But you're a nasty person......"
"It's an ability that can make you feel disgusted, and that's also an ability. Qiao Zhi continued.
Avril was silent.
What Qiao Zhi said is not unreasonable, has she hated anyone before?
No!
Even when Fabregas colluded with Wilson to try to harm herself, she laughed it off.
Of course, Avril's dislike for Qiao Zhi is not pure hatred, but with some grievances.
I am so proud that I feel wronged, which shows that the man in front of me has the ability to affect his emotions.
Avril has studied many psychological monographs, and she interprets her state of mind thoroughly in an instant and comes to a conclusion.
Could it be that he has a heart for Qiao Zhi?
The so-called motivation is the starting point of love.
Being tempted doesn't mean that you fall in love with Qiao Zhi, but if you start a fire, you must put it out, otherwise it will easily cause a monstrous fire, let yourself lose control and lose your mind.
Although Qiao Zhi is a leader among his peers, in Avril's eyes, he is at most a new nouveau riche who has not accepted the precipitation of a wealthy family.
But, why was he able to make ripples in his calm heart?
Could it be that he "drugged" the food he cooked?
Even when drugged, these pills are elements that bring warmth.
Despite the constant verbal war with Qiao Zhi, Avril Lavril likes this feeling for some reason.
Maybe it's because I'm a little masochistic.
"Let's talk about how the island plan should be implemented, especially the model island, what infrastructure and functions should it have?"
"Many people go to the island for a holiday in the hope of being in a strange place and emptying their souls. In addition to infrastructure, we need to conduct research to understand the needs of high-end people at the moment, and then carry out customized design!"
"High-end crowd?"
"That's right, in the early stage, we still have to serve high-end people. When the islands are developed enough in the later stage, some of the islands can be targeted at the middle and low-end income groups. ”
Avril's mind flashed through a survey about Qiao Zhi.
A label written in his personality column - "Don't pit the poor"!
The flip side of not pit the poor is to only do the business of the rich.
"We're done talking. There's something you need to work with!"
"What are you doing with you?" Qiao Zhi said strangely.
"This is my second visit to Yanjing, the capital of China, and I want to take a good look at the city. Can you be my guide?"
"Liar! If you want to find a guide, just find someone at random, such as Xu Bo, the housekeeper of your manor, he must know Yanjing better. I'm sure you have other ideas, I'm not that easy to fool. ”
“......”
Avril almost didn't choke to death.
Qiao Zhi is a dead straight man, shouldn't he feel honored to be a normal person and receive an invitation to go shopping with beautiful women?
Not to mention her own invitation, she is the heir of the Wallis family.
The dream lover of a lot of good men.
Qiao Zhi felt that there was a mystery hidden in it.
"I want to get closer to you, after all, we are partners, and it is good for both of us to be closer. ”
Qiao Zhi frowned and shook his head, "No, it's not for this reason. Partners come for profit, and it has nothing to do with the quality of the relationship. Repeat the reason!"
Avril stared at Qiao Zhi in a daze, and couldn't help laughing, "You're really a cautious guy." ”
Avril beckoned to Qiao Zhi, and after Qiao Zhi approached, Avril whispered a few words.
Qiao Zhi's eyes showed a look of sudden realization, "This reason is reasonable! However, I don't want to cooperate with you." ”
"Why?"
"There is a saying in Huaxia that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. A gentleman is a gentleman in your Western culture, which means that a person of high morals will not put himself in danger......"
Moral integrity......
Avril took a deep breath and said, "You are willing to cooperate with me, and I will give you one percent more of the shares of the island company!"
Qiao Zhi sneered.
"Two percent!"
Qiao Zhi hesitated for a moment, but remained silent.
"Three percent?"
Qiao Zhi finally spoke.
"I figured it out, as a partner, you still have to sacrifice once in a while. I'm definitely not giving me an extra three percent of the shares for you......"
“......”
Avril clearly underestimated Qiao Zhi's shamelessness......
