20. Chapter XX
20Don't be nervous, I'm not a good person
Sending Zhao Zheng away, Jiang Yi returned to work, and the matter of the activity company could not be solved. Even if there is little hope, Jiang Yi still has to work hard to see if it is possible to meet a more experienced construction company that is willing to take on the project when it has the schedule.
It's not that she doesn't trust Zhang Ye and Zhao Zheng, she absolutely believes in the character of these two men, and she has no doubts about their reliability. It's just that there is no preparation of related projects, and there is really a question mark about whether the process can meet the brand requirements.
Back in the office, Nic came up with a gossip face, but was blocked by Jiang Yiyong's failure to solve the problem and his gossip. Nic also knew that Jiang Yi was stingy in sharing private matters, so he didn't ask anymore.
One thing after another, seven o'clock passed in the blink of an eye. Zhao Zheng called, and Jiang Yi noticed the time.
Due to the delay in Amy's report, it was too late for the director to send it to Jiang Yi after a round of reading, and she had just gotten it, and it would take at least half an hour. Coupled with miscellaneous things, she could only talk to Zhao Zheng for another hour. Zhao Zheng said that it didn't matter, and she devoted herself to her work.
The time was estimated very accurately, Jiang Yi closed the computer, and it was exactly eight o'clock. When I went downstairs, I saw Zhao Zheng half-leaning on the car door and talking on the phone.
In the distance, a faint crescent moon hung high in the sky, and the fading night was his background. The lights of the building illuminated his side face, and his slender figure and loose and casual clothes also looked particularly energetic on him. His eyes met her, his thin lips drawing a faint smile, and he held the phone in one hand and opened the car door for her with the other. This scene, simple and good, looks like a shot from a movie, always with a sense of unreality.
Jiang Yi frowned, it seemed that his recent thinking was often easy to be controlled by love, which was really unbelievable.
Sitting in Zhao Zheng's car, the noise outside was isolated from the world. Jiang Yi let himself sink into the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and rubbed his fingers on his acupoints.
"Tired?" Zhao Zheng asked.
"I'm closing my eyes and looking forward to taking care of my body."
Zhao Zheng held the steering wheel with his hand and smiled predictably: "I won't let you down." β
The traffic in the city center is not good on Friday night, and everyone is busy for a week, so they always choose to come out on Friday night to relax and decompress. Land Rover is basically a tortoise in such road conditions. Cross the river tunnel and drive to Pudong New Area.
The biggest symbol of Pudong is the Lujiazui plot, Jinmao, the World Financial Center, the Oriental Pearl, and now the Shanghai Center. When Jiang Yi first came to Shanghai to study at university, the World Financial Center had just been completed, and when he looked at Lujiazui from the Bund, he already felt that it was a dreamlike land, with high-rise buildings and glass curtain walls reflecting golden light, which was modern beyond imagination.
After the completion of the World Financial Center in 12 years, Jiang Yi also bought a ticket to go to the 100-story sightseeing hall. Climbing high and looking into the distance, it always gives people a wrong sense of control, thinking that they can see through all living beings, thinking that they can choke the throat of fate, but in fact they are just making an elevator and standing on a building built by others.
Now she sometimes passes by the Bund or holds an event there, and when she looks at the other side, she no longer marvels, but feels that it is more like an isolated island, and the rows of buildings weigh heavily on it, making people look uncomfortable.
In her industry, because of the high-end positioning of customers, she will be exposed to many luxurious and gorgeous things. The average number of restaurants selected for the event is not less than 300, and sometimes even thousands, and it often goes to high-end venues such as 3 on the Bund and art galleries. If you stay in a hotel on a business trip, you will generally stay in a five-star hotel according to the customer's agreement. Various forums, receptions, shows, opening parties...... All kinds of glamorous occasions, thousands of charming attendees, at the beginning of the inner inferiority complex and freshness made people panic and excited, after a long time, I also learned to put on a variety of postures to cater to the high-end atmosphere, and even thought that I had integrated into the fluttering and practical high-end.
Thinking that integration will come at a cost, it makes people take the money from selling cabbage but develop the consumption habits of capitalists. However, how can those five-star hotels, Michelin-starred restaurants, and Hermès platinum bags placed in the window be easily afforded by an ordinary salaryman?
Jiang Yi is a good public relations for luxury, but this does not mean that the distance between her and luxury goods has really been narrowed. It was just an illusion, and she knew it more and more now.
Pulling away from his thoughts, the car has driven out of the downtown area and into the residential area, more precisely, the villa area. Zhao Zheng was familiar with the road, and when he drove to the entrance of the community, he lowered the window glass and said to the security guard in the pavilion: "I am Zhao Zheng." Go to Building 7 and stay for a few hours. β
When the security guard heard this, he took the walkie-talkie and talked a few words, and after a while, he said, "Park in the underground garage, there is a seat." β
"Okay, thanks."
After parking the car, Zhao Zheng led Jiang Yi to Building 7. The green coverage rate of the community is very high, all of them are single-family villas, the trails are spacious, and there is no doubt about the luxury community. Listening to the conversation between Zhao Zheng and the security guard, he is definitely not the owner of the house. Fortunately.
However, Zhao Zheng took her to someone else's house to take care of her health...... Why is this awkward to think about, what mystery is hidden?
Just as he was thinking about it, he arrived at the gate, Zhao Zheng rang the bell, and after a while, the door opened, revealing Wu Haoran's head.
"Brother Zheng, come in, come in! Why are you here so late! I've drunk it for a long time! The door was open, Wu Haoran crossed his waist bare-chested, and pulled Zhao Zheng to enter, Zhao Zheng took a step forward, and Jiang Yi, who was behind him, entered Wu Haoran's line of sight.
"Ahhhh......h
"What's it called! Come in yet! I can't play anymore! β
"Yes! Don't lose, don't dare to come! β
There was a lot of noise, Jiang Yi examined Wu Haoran from head to toe, focusing on the part where he was not wearing a shirt. Otherwise, Korean male stars all have bodies that can be taken off, and it seems that there is really something to do with being a soldier. She really didn't expect that Wu Haoran would be so attractive when she took it off, and this abdominal muscle is still very good.
Wu Haoran noticed Jiang Yi's gaze, turned around and ran in. Zhao Zheng looked at Jiang Yi with a smile: "Are you satisfied?" β
Jiang Yi scoffed: "You know what I really want to see." β
Zhao Zheng entered the house, men's shoes and men's slippers were neatly stacked on both sides, Zhao Zheng took a pair of slightly smaller slippers for Jiang Yi and put them in front of her, and then changed his shoes. "Let's go inside." He said.
In the spacious living room, seven or eight men sat around, three shirtless, six mermaid lines, clothes tossed aside, and in the middle of the table were food, wine, and playing cards. Wu Haoran was still chirping there, and Zhang Ye was about to tell him to talk well, when he saw Jiang Yi and Zhao Zheng walking in together. Jiang Yi and when they met at noon, they even wore a different set of clothes, a vermilion skirt, and swayed slightly when they walked.
Everyone was collectively stunned, Wu Haoran pointed at Jiang Yi and said, "You understand what I mean now!" β
The tiger and Ah Liang looked at each other, and then they understood. The panda, who had never seen Jiang Yi, asked in an uncertain tone, "Wouldn't this be the legendary... Right? β
Wu Haoran nodded vigorously: "It's her, it's her, it's her!" Those who came to my restaurant, went to save people, and the tiger was seen at Brother Zheng's house! β
"Ah~~~" The unknown truth that had only heard of it and did not see its people collectively spoke.
Wu Haoran clapped his palms: "Look! Didn't I make a fuss and reacted normally! β
Everyone got up one after another: "Miss Jiang, I'm glad to meet, I'm an iron wolf." β
"I've heard of you for a long time! Welcome, welcome, welcome. I'm Qian Jiali, they all call me chestnut. β
"Just call me Panda. From now on, it's up to you to cover us. β
Jiang Yi smiled lightly: "I'm Jiang Yi, I'm glad to meet you, I'm sorry to disturb." Her gaze drifted from Wu Haoran to look at the tiger, and then fell on the panda's body, well, it's still good-looking.
"Not at all intrusive!" The panda and the chestnut said in unison, and then threw ambiguous glances at Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zheng looked away, and said to Zhang Ye in a flat tone: "I see that you guys have a good time." β
"I didn't expect you to bring Jiang Yi over." Zhang Ye shrugged, "Then is it better for us to be bigger or smaller?" Do you still have to put on your clothes, after all, it's the first time you see it, and you have a bad impression. β
"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, it's not right for us, get dressed and dressed." Chestnut picks up his shirt from the ground and puts it on his head.
Zhao Zheng looked at the chestnut lightly: "You can't wear clothes, and people can't scream." β
The chestnut was dumb-mouthed, and the clothes were put into the sleeve tube with a glove, and they paused there without embarrassment.
"No shouting! Drink! Ah Liang picked up the beer and stuffed it into the chestnut's hand, "Call a sister!" β
"Don't." Jiang Yi hurriedly waved his hand, "Just call me by my name." β
"Where's that?" Wu Haoran said, "First sister, what do you want to drink?" Brother Ye has it all here. β
"Yes, make room for our first sister and brother." The tiger stood up and said.
Jiang Yi looked at Zhao Zheng a little helplessly, but the latter smiled and said nothing. Jiang Yi looked at the two unopened bottles of beer on the table, reversed one bottle, stuck the caps together, and skillfully opened the upright bottles. Then he said: "For the sake of this first sister, I also have to respect you." I'll finish drinking, everyone is free. β
Jiang Yi raised his head under the stunned eyes of everyone and began to pour wine. Everyone threw out the word "I rely on" in their hearts. is worthy of being a girl who can enter the eyes of her brother, which is also too refreshing.
At this time, Zhao Zheng took another unopened bottle of wine from Jiang Yi's hand, lifted the cap, and said, "What are you looking at?" To you, one bottle per person, no one should run. β
"Yes, yes, the first sister is so refreshing, brothers, it's done!" Wu Haoran's pride and ambition were ignited all of a sudden, and his speech was surging.
Zhang Ye looked at Zhao Zheng with a deep gaze, this Jiang Yi is not a good stubble. came up to be such a tiger, and Zhao Zheng was protecting him, and no one dared to persuade him to drink after making it clear.
One person and one bottle, the slightest sense of alienation no longer exists. Wu Haoran explained that they were playing Russian turntable just now, throwing 3 to pour wine, 6 to drink half, 9 to drink all, 1 to undress, 8 to designate one person to drink.
"The first sister is here, why don't we change the game." Wu Haoran mentioned yì, after all, you can't let the lady take off her clothes.
"It's fine." Jiang put his head on the back of his hand, and glanced at Zhao Zheng with a wink: "I want to throw 1, Zhao Zheng just take off his clothes." β
"Oh~~~~~" the crowd coaxed.
Twenty minutes later, the people present basically took off, what belts, socks and watches, even Zhang Ye's shirt was taken off, the wine was even faster, and a large box of empty bottles could be stacked on the side.
However, why can't Zhao Zheng's shirt be taken off?! Jiang threw out two ones in a long time, and Zhao Zheng didn't even take off his watch. Just now it was Zhao Zheng's turn, he threw a 2, and he was safe and sound. Jiang Yi covered the dice Gu, the heavenly spirit shook spiritually, Zhao Zheng bent down slightly, and pressed against her sideburns: "You just give up." Jiang Yi elbowed him and was blocked by him.
She put down the dice Gu, lifted her anger, and her face suddenly grew long.
"Ouch, first sister, you're really unlucky. Gotta drink it all. The panda sitting to her right sighed.
"I'll drink." Zhao Zheng reached out to get the cup, but Jiang Yi grabbed it first.
"No, you don't." Jiang was sullen and poured it down.
Zhao Zheng spread his hands helplessly. Last time, Mark talked about how much Jiang Yi drank, so he didn't have much of a problem with her drinking beer now.
Jiang Yi drank it and put down the cup: "It's not interesting at all, change the game." β
"Yes, yes, yes." Today, the panda who is particularly related to 1 has taken off only the old grandfather's big pants, and he was relieved to hear this, "If I take it off again, I will become a hooligan." β
"Why don't you roar?" Wu Haoran mentioned, "Brother Ye has installed a new karaoke system in the basement to experience it." β
"Rat, you're a wheat. Please, don't you sing such a magical song as skateboarding shoes today? β
"I'll go down and open it for you." Zhang Ye put on his shirt and got up, "The billiard table is also ready." Get dressed up. β
Everyone packed up, took their things and went downstairs. Jiang Yi sighed, Zhao Zheng saw her like this, and said with a smile: "It's not that I didn't give you a chance." β
Jiang Yi squinted his eyes and smiled: "Did I say anything?" β
Zhao Zheng stopped answering, and took her hand: "Go down." β
Jiang Yi lowered his eyebrows and cut in his heart. Sister has even seen the popular little fresh meat, and it is not uncommon for you to have this old bacon.
Zhang Ye's basement has been completely renovated into a game hall, with fluorescent lights, KTV equipment, and billiard tables. Wu Haoran had already sung it at this time, and the opening of his voice was "the most dazzling famous style", the pitch was good, and the song selection must be deliberate.
Jiang Yi's singing is mediocre, and he has never learned vocal music, at best, it is not difficult to hear, and he usually listens to others sing. Zhao Zheng didn't know if he could see that she was not interested, and said: "Do you play billiards?" β
Jiang rested one hand on his shoulder, tiptoed slightly, and pressed his lips to his earlobe: "You're going to lose, do I have benefits?" β
She didn't say anything, but he also knew what it meant: "Listen to it." β
"You're so confident? Then give it a try. β
The tiger turned his head to observe the two of them whispering at the billiard table, and then leaned into Ah Liang's ear and whispered: "What is the situation between the two of them now?" It doesn't always feel like it's in the sweet spot. β
"I can't see it yet, these two people are more energetic, we are all cannon fodder and decorations."
"I don't think this Jiang Yi is simple, will Brother Zheng suffer?"
"Can Brother Zheng suffer?" Ah Liang laughed, "It's good that he doesn't eat people." β
Jiang Yi was holding the billiard cue, and Zhao Zheng was swinging the ball at the moment, looking calm and unhurried.
Sure enough, the game is only interesting when you meet your opponent.
