Chapter 122: Dream
Gilt tossed and turned, didn't fall asleep all night, and came to the hotel in Yunxi the next day with obvious dark circles. When I arrived, Yunxi was swimming in the morning, and the outdoor swimming pool was shining in the morning light, and the water waves were indescribably clear.
The slender figure splits the waves in the water, and the exquisite figure is unobstructed, as if God has blurred a circle of light on her, making people feel that their eyes linger everywhere, all of which are exquisite.
After a night of troubles, at this moment, gilt found that it was no longer a problem.
Yunxi never hesitated to reveal her feelings in front of her and Situ, not because she had nowhere to vent, on the contrary, if she really wanted to find someone to confide in, there was no one in the Leng family who would not stand up for her. She is too calm, too self-contained, and treats her family like this, and even more so with herself. She doesn't want others to worry about her, so no matter how many scars and difficulties she faces, she just laughs it off. But what is hidden behind this laugh, no one can unravel.
Perhaps, at the beginning, Zhan Wenlan once opened a gap, but it was destroyed by his own hands, and moreover, her precautions against ordinary people became more and more rigorous. Yesterday, she was willing to reveal a hint of affection, just because she completely regarded her as an unsuspecting friend.
Friend.......
Gild thought bitterly.
Except for Situ Bai and her, Yunxi, or rarely be able to include others in the circle of her heart.
To outsiders, she seems to be a high-ranking daughter, a business strongman, and a red aristocrat, but what is she thinking in her heart. The gilt lowered his eyes slightly, perhaps, no one knew.
"Huh? Why don't you say anything when you come? Yunxi came out of the pool, wearing a white robe, and when she saw Gilt standing there alone in a quiet daze, she touched her cheek with her hand a little funny.
The gilt was startled, and the whole person came back to his senses: "You scared me to death!" "I was still in a trance, and suddenly a person ran out from behind, a normal person who was scared to the point of cardiac arrest. Gilded patted his chest, and his face turned pale: "By the way, what about the strange guy who called you 'boss sister-in-law'?" Why did it stop after that? β
There are some things, since Yunxi has let it pass, and now to talk about it is only to add to the troubles. Gilt suddenly remembered that when Yunxi left yesterday, the back flashed slightly, and when he raised his face again, he was already calm.
"You came to me just to ask that person? So leisurely, don't you have to socialize today? Yunxi guessed that she hadn't slept well last night, and her lips were still slightly pale and lacked blood, but she didn't break it, just smiled and followed her words.
"Come less. Well, we're going to meet that strange German jeweler today, and if you don't go, I won't be able to do it alone. "Yesterday I was able to meet the female jeweler with such an amiable temper is definitely an explosion of character, the German businessman is known all over the world for being cautious and strict, boring in his work, and the kind of person from the old jewelry family, she makes her scalp tingle just thinking about it.
"Well, I remember that this German is fifty years old, and he can be our father's age, why are you afraid of him?" Yunxi couldn't help but tease when she saw her entangled expression. She herself has never been the one with vigorous vitality, even if gilt has always belonged to the character of the person who takes care of her in the bedroom, and she is much more mature than Situ Bai, but when they are together, it can still make people obviously feel that gilt is more vigorous than her. And she always gives people a maturity beyond their years. Perhaps, the experience is different, the mood is different, this is the real reason. Therefore, every time I see Gilt and Situ Bai showing distressed looks, I always feel that it is just right to be reborn once.
"It's because of our age that we eat more salt than we eat rice, so it's hard to deal with." Seeing that she was about to sleep on the recliner under the parasol, Gilt quickly pulled her wrist: "I said Miss, it's not early, there is still half an hour to the appointed time, why aren't you in a hurry." Hurry up and change your clothes. It would take at least ten minutes to drive from the agreed place, and she almost had the urge to cry without tears when she looked at Yunxi's swimsuit.
Yunxi was dragged back to the room by her, and couldn't help but smile softly, "Okay, you wait a minute, I'll be fine right away." Fortunately, the person I met was not a local, and he didn't need to wear a robe, so Yunxi casually took out a set of casual clothes from the cupboard and changed into it when he entered the locker room.
When the two went out, the business car booked by the hotel in advance had been parked outside the door, and at the moment when the driver got out of the car and opened the rear door, a pair of bronze hands suddenly blocked in front of the driver: "Don't bother you, I have your car." With that, he took out a wad of cash and handed it to the driver.
Gilded eyes widened, and he looked at the smiling man in front of him in disbelief: "What are you doing?" "Sent the driver away, and they drove themselves? Isn't this self-inflicted? She and Yunxi didn't know the road to Cairo.
"Tomorrow the boss will be back, and then I won't be able to go out casually. Sister-in-law, for the sake of my rare trip to Cairo, let me come out and take a look. Yu Yi looked at Yunxi with a pleased expression, and there was a clear smile in those handsome eyes.
The driver looked at the wad of banknotes hesitantly, and his eyes also looked at Yunxi.
"Yes, okay." She tilted her head sideways, and in a look of disbelief on her face, she agreed to Woo-yeon's request.
The driver cheered, took the banknote, and handed the key to Yu Yi: "I wish you a happy holiday." "I can earn a lot of money without having to work, and the driver with children is already thinking about bringing some fresh and delicious fruit home today.
"Where are you going?" As soon as Yu Yi got into the car, he immediately dutifully played the role of "coachman", gilded and speechless looking at the sky, thinking that this guy was like a young master, and his whole body was a famous brand, how could Gongzi have such subordinates?
"Central Square." Yunxi reported the place he had agreed in advance, sat on the leather seat, and closed his eyes slightly. With the windows open, mingled with the cries of many peddlers, the whole city woke up. There was a faint fragrance in the air, and I couldn't tell whether it was a spice or a woman's perfume, but the mood was not better, and all the miscellaneous things yesterday were all away from her at once.
Seeing that she was in a good mood, Jin Jin couldn't help but be a little happy, and he was a little pleasing to the eye when he looked at this Yu Yi.
I don't know if it was equipped with navigation, and it only took seven minutes for the car to drive to the destination, and it even arrived at the agreed restaurant ahead of schedule. But gilt looked around, there was no instrument on the car at all, when driving, this person did not use his mobile phone to locate the car, can so accurately understand the driving route, is this person really the first time to come to Cairo?
"Won't you get out of the car?" Yu Yi met his gaze with gilt in the mirror, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Could it be that the location has been changed temporarily?" β
"Nope." Gilt embarrassedly pulled Yunxi out of the car, and when he saw him go to find a place to park, he couldn't help but mutter: "Yunxi, do you know what Gongzi Qiao does?" I don't think this person under him is mysterious, as if he is not an ordinary person. "It's okay just to look like a little kid with red lips and white teeth, the key thing is that this person is a little incomprehensible.
Yunxi patted her palm: "Don't think nonsense, if you don't go in again, it's not good to let others wait for us." "With Qiao Zimo's kind of character, if the person who stays is a simple ordinary person, then there is a problem. There is a reason to do things, and it seems to be a fool, but in fact, he has a clear mind and a keen feeling. If she didn't guess wrong, this person was by no means a public official in an ordinary department, but seemed to have a bit of Uncle Li's feelings. Thinking of Uncle Li, who appeared by his father's side anytime and anywhere in the family, and recalled his identity experience, Yunxi couldn't help but have a headache. Qiao Zimo, did this really leave her a bodyguard, or did she deliberately let her follow the vine to touch the melon.......
When the two entered the restaurant, they saw that there was no one inside. The waiter walked over, obviously a little surprised that someone would arrive at the restaurant so early: "Excuse me, what do you two order?" β
Yunxi ordered some of the most ordinary juices and sandwiches, and the gilt asked for a cup of coffee, and the two sat by the window, waiting for each other's arrival.
At nine o'clock, as the most sophisticated and rigorous German character in legend, no more, no less, the jeweler opened the door of the restaurant and walked up to them.
βwangοΌβ He glanced at the two people sitting on the window sofa and called out her English name to Yunxi very accurately.
Yunxi and Liujin were stunned for a moment, then stood up and shook hands with him: "We've met before?" β
"No, but the Count and I are good friends." The German in his fifties wore a pair of glasses, and when he didn't smile, he gave people an old-fashioned and stern appearance, but at this moment, he looked at Yunxi but smiled lightly, and his eyes were slightly relaxed: "He heard that you made an appointment with me today, and he was going to come over, but it seems that something has stumbled, so I must not bully you." β
Speaking of which, it is inevitable that young people will be harassed and mean when they meet their fellow elders, Yunxi and Gilt were also prepared to be sent away by the other party coldly at first, but they didn't expect that Grantham had prepared them in advance.
"I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence." Gild happily beckoned the waiter: "Please send some more fruit." β
The German smiled: "I only heard him say a few days ago that he is also a shareholder of 'Gu Yuxuan' and has always been very interested in jadeite, but I didn't expect that the largest shareholder of 'Gu Yuxuan' is a girl." β
Yunxi's face was gentle, "I also ran the 'Gu Yuxuan' by chance, compared with your jewelry brand, it is not worth mentioning in terms of scale or brand history, so I want to take the opportunity of this diamond design competition to learn from your predecessors." β
The other party's attitude was completely beyond the expectations of Gilt and Yunxi, and the jeweler, who had thought that he was the most difficult to deal with, actually spoke the most humorously and sincerely. Whether it is from industry analysis or brand development prospects, almost all of them share their experience with them without reservation.
When they walked out of the restaurant, Gilded wondered if Egypt was their blessed land. If the development continues at this rate, even if the talents of the Academy of Fine Arts can't get much success this time, they will soon be able to open up the popularity of "Gu Yuxuan" among this group of fine jewelers.
But when it comes to the Academy of Fine Arts, ...... talented.
"Xiaobai got up last night and said that her head was still a little dizzy, and the genius of the Academy of Fine Arts seemed to accompany her to the hospital to hang water today, and I don't know how it is now." Xiaobai's body immunity is really embarrassing, but it's just a small cold, and it hasn't gotten better yet.
Yunxi glanced at his watch, it was only eleven o'clock, and it was still early, "Do you want to go to the hospital to have a look?" β
"You wait, I'll call them first to ask about the situation, if they have already gone back, it's better to run in vain." The gilt dialed the number, but Situ Bai never answered the phone, and no one answered it, so he couldn't help frowning and changed the number of the genius of the Academy of Fine Arts.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the phone to ring this time, and the other party answered, "Hey? β
"It's me, gild, is Situ Bai with you, didn't you go to the hospital? Why doesn't she answer the phone? Is something wrong? She was a little worried, and even spoke a little incoherently. In many cases, seemingly small problems can lead to serious consequences. If it wasn't a cold, but a lack of adaptation, it was very likely that things weren't as simple as she imagined.
Yu Yi happened to drive the car over at this time, and seeing the worried expression on his face, he couldn't help but look at Yunxi, could it be that something happened?
"Well, it's not." The genius of the Academy of Fine Arts was stunned for a moment, and found the eagerness in the gilded voice, and immediately explained: "I have seen the doctor, it is not a big deal, it is just a common cold, and I prescribed medicine, saying that it will be fine in the next two days at the latest." She just seemed to have run into an acquaintance, and the phone was lost in her bag, and it was with me. I was afraid that it would not be good to answer her phone casually, so I never took it out. Prepare to sue her when she returns. β
"Oh." The gilt finally came down in one breath. But after thinking about it, I felt very strange: "Acquaintance? You said she met an acquaintance at the hospital? Who is it? "How is that possible? The people of the Situ family have always kept a low profile, almost staying in Jiangnan and rarely wandering around other places. Moreover, Xiaobai has never been to Egypt before, how can he meet an acquaintance in the hospital?
The genius of the Academy of Fine Arts groaned for a while, just now he only saw Situ Bai chasing after seeing a person's back, but he didn't see the front, I really don't know who it is. He was hesitating how to answer, but when he saw Situ Bai walking over with a strange look, he immediately said to the gild: "It's just right, she's back, I'll let her answer the phone." β
As soon as Situ Bai raised his head, before he could speak, there was an extra mobile phone in his hand, and when he looked at the call reminder, it turned out to be gilded, and his face suddenly changed.
"Xiaobai, who have you met?" Liujin knew that she was fine, and made an OK gesture to Yunxi, although she was a little curious about who the "acquaintance" was, her movements had already relaxed, and she followed Yunxi into the car: "Hey, we talked about things very smoothly today, you are still in the hospital, why don't we pick you up?" β
"No, no." Situ Bai immediately vetoed it, and the refusal was so categorical that Gilt immediately heard the strangeness in her voice.
"What's wrong?"
"Just now, I did meet an acquaintance." Seeing that he couldn't hide it, he really didn't want Yunxi to come to the hospital, so he had to confess: "I just saw Xiao Ran." β
The gilt suddenly quieted, and saw that Yunxi was looking out of the car window, and did not listen carefully to their call, so he was relieved. Seriously, when Situ Bai and Qi Zhan almost got married, she really had lingering feelings about Xiao Ran. Every time she thought that Zhang Han was the secret chess he had arranged in Jinmao International so many years in advance, she felt creepy when she thought about it. Of course, it is a business myth, this person's mind is too deep, and it is impossible to understand the edge at all. After Zhan Wenlan's topic yesterday, she really didn't want to let Yunxi and Xiao Ran be implicated anymore. I don't know why, subconsciously, she obviously knows that Qiao Zimo is not simple, but she always feels that the other party will never do anything to hurt Yunxi.
Obviously, Situ Bai also had the same mind as her. At the beginning, with the energy bidding, Yunxi made some limelight in B City, and even entered the Chamber of Commerce, but every time he met with the Xiao family, it was thrilling, and the gambling game German poker stud was also fresh in people's memories.
She covered her phone and smiled at Yunxi: "This little confused, I just went to the bathroom and didn't hear the phone ring." She said she was almost at the hotel so we didn't have to go to the hospital. β
Yunxi nodded and asked Yu Yi to drive to Situ Bai's hotel.
"Do you know why he went to the hospital?" The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he still asked.
"It doesn't look like he's in good health." Situ Bai frowned, "I don't know, the doctor who just saw the outpatient clinic seems to have a bad attitude, the people around Xiao Ran are almost about to turn their faces, and they almost beat people, causing the crowd to be noisy, I happened to pass by, and I saw it." "It's a little different from the spirit and elegance I saw in the Centennial Lecture Hall, Xiao Ran's face is a little pale today. As a former idol, the biggest motivation for learning business, she couldn't help but walk into the crowd and take a look, who knew that the person was so sensitive, and found her at once, and led her aside to ask a question that surprised her a little now.
"Lao Jin, Xiao Dashen just asked me a question." Situ Bai frowned, half-leaning against the wall, not noticing that when the talented man of the Academy of Fine Arts who stayed on the side heard the word "Xiao Ran", his brows were also knotted.
"What's the problem?"
He asked, how is Yunxi doing?" Situ Bai bit his lip, thinking of Xiao Ran, who had just stood in front of him with a tired face, with a warm temperature in his eyes, when he mentioned the word "Yunxi", the tenderness on his lips became more and more bottomless. "Say, what does he mean by that?" It can't be what she thinks, right?
If it weren't for Chen Hao, this person would almost have been unable to get off the stage at the banquet held by the Chamber of Commerce. Why is the current attitude so ambiguous?
"How did you answer?" Actually, I vaguely guessed it. How could Xiao Ran appear for no reason. He didn't know Xiaobai very well, so what else could he stop her for. It's just that sometimes, the more you don't want to be complicated, the more things are going in the most complicated direction. She was suddenly startled, remembering the old incident of Xiao Ran's suppression of Jinfeng Group, perhaps, not only to acquire such a company, but more importantly, Qi Zhan used to be Yunxi's boyfriend?
This is also why, Zhang Handu had already taken the matter into his hands at the beginning, and when he saw that Jin Feng was about to change hands, he stopped in the end?
Yunxi must have done something that made him have to let go.
Gilt sat there, only to feel as if he was walking in the ice and snow all of a sudden, and all of a sudden he was roasting on the oven, and the whole person suddenly looked ugly.
"Would you like to go to my side and get some rest?" Seeing that her expression was not quite right, Yunxi was about to let Yu Yi drive back.
"No need, it seems that I just ate some fruit and drank some coffee, hot and cold stimulation, my stomach is a little uncomfortable, and it will be fine all of a sudden." Gilded smiled and hung up the phone. Now, what she wants to know most is what Xiao Ran is planning to do. chased all the way from country Z to Egypt, and he would never let go so easily.
The most troublesome thing is that Qiao Zimo happened to have something to do in the past two days.
Hey, my hair is going to turn gray.
Seeing that she insisted on going back, Yu Yi sped up the car.
The distance from the central square to the hotel is longer than the distance back from the hospital, when they arrived, Situ Bai had already walked around the room twice, looking tormented, seeing Yunxi coming together, he almost didn't dare to look at her eyes, for fear of being discovered by her, and after saying the doctor's diagnosis to her, he excused himself to sleep and let Yunxi go back first.
Yunxi saw that there were only two boxes of cold medicine on her table, and it was estimated that it was not too heavy, so she told her to rest well, and went back directly.
As soon as she left, Jin Jin hurriedly pulled Situ Bai into the room, locked the door, and talked about the details of meeting Xiao Ran in the hospital.
The genius of the Academy of Fine Arts stared at the locked door for a full two minutes, then got up, walked to the next room, and dialed the phone.
"Brother Kui, I just heard about something very strange."
"What?" Liao Zheng, who was working overtime at the desk, pushed open the file folder in front of him, got up slightly, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and slowly took off the flat mirror on the bridge of his nose.
"I don't know why, Xiao Ran came to Cairo to find Leng Yunxi." After he softly spat out the words, he unexpectedly heard a silence on the other side.
I don't know why, but suddenly I felt the urge to sigh.
"Got it." Xie Zheng was slightly relieved, and quickly recovered to his original state, "You should pay attention in Egypt, it is naturally good to win the championship, don't force it if it doesn't work, after all, this is not your specialty." β
"It's rare to hear you say something like that." He smiled lightly, knowing that he was a premature baby, and his health had not been good since he was a child, and the people around him would not be too demanding of him, but this time, I don't know why he was motivated to win, so he recently asked Xie Zheng to help spread some foreign information about diamond design, but he didn't expect that he asked him to help take care of Yunxi. At first, he thought that it was just because Yunxi was Zhang Bo's closed disciple, and now he wanted to come...... Shaking his head slightly: "Don't talk about it, this week is the group stage, and I have to meet with the players in the same group in the afternoon, and I will call you when I have time." β
"Hmm." Xie Zheng turned off the phone, looked at the gorgeous and prosperous Wall Street under his feet, and made the world's financial circles dream, his eyes were deep: "Xiao Ran? ββ¦β¦γ
When Yunxi returned to the hotel, he obviously found that there was something unusual in the hall.
There seem to be a lot fewer people coming and going than usual.
Yu Yi went to the garage to park, she didn't have to rush back, so she simply went to the front desk, ready to have someone deliver food to the room. But I heard a pleasant piano sound.
It is a dream song by the German composer Schumann - "Scenes from Childhood".
She stood still, silent for a moment, then slowly turned around and looked at the corner surrounded by the crowd.
There is a white piano there, and the pianist who usually invites the hotel has changed today.
Half of the face of the person playing the piano drooped, and he could only faintly see the outline, but the music was very clear. One can clearly perceive the rhythm of the poetic progression, but with some subtle changes.
Yunxi remembers that this music was written in a single-theme trilogy style. Those slender and powerful hands dance silently on the black and white keys, light and affectionate, like the warmest, far-reaching and sweet song in the world, as if narrating people's beautiful childhood dreams, so that everyone who listens to the heart of the pursuit and hope of life, love, fantasy and the rhythm of the music.
The dreamy melodies, delicate musical expressions, rich variations, and fascinating expressive power are full of poetic feelings.
Yunxi never thought that Zhuo Yi, who was crazy about Qiao Zimo in the bar, could play such a good piano.
"She's great, isn't she?" At some point, Joseph was already standing beside her, with a proud face on his face, looking at Zoe sitting in front of the piano and smiling at her quietly.
"It's very good, indeed." Being able to play music like this is already professional. Yunxi was not stingy with her praise, on the contrary, she was more curious about why the brother and sister appeared here. Could it be, suddenly changed hotels.
"She has been obsessed with music since she was a child, and she wants to be a pianist. However, you should have heard others say that our family has actually been in business for generations. The family didn't want her to be a pianist. However, as an older brother, my only hope is that Zoe will be able to choose her future according to her own preferences. β
"You're a good older brother." Yunxi smiled, at home, how could her cousin not be like this to her?
"Unfortunately, she's hit a bottleneck now." Joseph didn't relax, but shook his head helplessly: "You know, on the road of music, it is not that hard work will necessarily be rewarded. As long as you lie down once, you can't stand up, and you want to start over again, it's a dream. I saw that she was too depressed in school, and I took the opportunity of being a judge in this diamond competition to bring her over to relax. Originally, she didn't have much hope, but she heard Mr. Rakmanilov's song in the bar that day, and touched the piano again the day after she returned. β
Yunxi listened to him quietly, and didn't think that he was just looking for her to chat.
"So, I took the liberty to come to the hotel to find you this time, mainly to ask if I could let Mr. Qiao meet Zhuo Yi and let him see what went wrong with her piano playing."
Joseph looked at her with burning eyes, and wanted to hold her hands, but out of politeness, he did not do so, but bent down slightly, and pleaded.
Yunxi glanced at Zhuo Yi sitting in front of the piano and sighed slightly: "It's not a coincidence, Qiao Zimo happened to have something to do, and he wasn't here for the past two days." She is a little pity, although this piece is really amazing at first hearing, but halfway through the interpretation, there is something slightly wrong, obviously the tune and rhythm have not changed, but I just feel that the artistic conception in it has begun to change.
Joseph was stunned, his eyes visibly surprised and disappointed. At this moment, Zhuo Yi also looked over to this side, looking at his brother's expression, and suddenly his fingertips paused, and the music suddenly fell silent.
The whole hall was silent.
Everyone looked at Zoe strangely, as if they didn't understand why she stopped suddenly.
At this moment, a man in a dark suit walked up to Yunxi, looked at the piano, and said lightly: "It's a pity." β
Yunxi looked at Benoit in surprise, this person is elusive, why did he suddenly appear here today?
At the beginning, he had to follow Qiao Zimo and her when she went out, and she thought that this time Qiao Zimo went out, he would definitely follow, but she didn't expect that she was still in the hotel.
"Why are you here?" Yunxi looked at him with surprise on his face.
"It's better to stay in a hotel if you're too lazy to walk around." Benoit saw a stranger standing beside Yunxi, and couldn't help but look up. At this time, Zhuo Yi happened to come over, and when she saw her brother shaking his head at her, she knew that she couldn't see Qiao Zimo, and her face suddenly darkened.
Benoit looked interesting, this person was unusually interested in Qiao Zimo at a glance, didn't Yunxi see it, or, well, didn't regard this person as an opponent at all?
"Let's go upstairs and talk, it's a bit bad to stand here." Looking around, there were already many people staring at their side with burning eyes, Benoit waved his hand, walked to the elevator door in person, pressed the button, and turned back to Yunxi, Joseph, and Zhuo Yi and smiled slightly.
"Okay." Perhaps there was still some hope, and Zoe was the first to say yes.
Joseph's face was full of surprise, and he looked at Yunxi's face with some hesitation.
"Please." No matter how rude he was, he wouldn't push people back, and Yunxi followed Benoit into the elevator.
------Off topic------
There is also a chapter at the back, which is made up at twelve o'clock.
