Chapter III
Now that the final exam is over, Yunxi should also pack up and go home for the New Year.
In previous years, the people in the family could only get together on Chinese New Year's Eve thirty, and the old man is good now that he has retired, but her father, who looks extremely elegant, is the one who is busier and busier at the end of the year, not to mention that at the end of the year, Zhang Cui will go to Shanghai to sit in the company, and it has never been when others are on vacation, and these two in her family are so busy that they don't even have time to sleep.
However, this year, because of the company's affairs, my mother has gone through a life-and-death journey in the hospital, and the old man and father are extremely cautious, and they have pushed everything that can be pushed off as soon as possible, and even the grandparents in Yunxi, Shanghai, have taken it over together, ready to have a lively festival.
When Yunxi went home, he saw Sister-in-law Li sticking big red happy words inside and out.
Several men who looked like benchmarks stood aside and obeyed the "instructions" very much, these people were tall and sharp-eyed, and when they saw her walk in, they were all slightly stunned, and then saw Uncle Li who was following her, and saluted quickly.
Yunxi understood who these people were. For a while, he couldn't help but sigh and kill the chicken with a knife. These are the pillars of the country, the elite of the elite.
"Miss, you're back. Hurry up and see, what else is needed, tell sΓΉ sister-in-law Li, sister-in-law Li will help you prepare. It's not been a few days, and it's about to be the New Year, but this year is different from usual, and in the afternoon, Mrs. herself went to the mall to buy New Year's goods. If you want me to say, the New Year, it should be like this, the family gets together in a reunion, and then there is the joy of the New Year, don't you say? "Sister-in-law Li is not very beautiful, but she has a pair of big eyes, and her pupils always seem to look straight at each other, and her slightly wrinkled face shows a little ruddy, and she smiles slightly, revealing two dimples, which are straightforward but can't take your eyes off.
Yunxi walked over and took down the scissors in her hand: "Sister-in-law Li, you've been busy for so many days, and you're tired enough, hurry up and rest, if you tell me anything, I'll do the same." β
"How does this work?" Sister-in-law Li blushed and wanted to take back the scissors, "That window flower is my exclusive craft, and it is not passed on, you don't want to steal the teacher so easily." β
As soon as the words fell, the few non-commissioned officers who stood like pine trees couldn't help but smile.
Sister-in-law Li has been following Uncle Li north from the countryside, and for so many years, although she has seen all dignitaries in the mansion, she has always retained a kind of appreciative simplicity. It's not that she really works hard and can't be idle, but for Yunxi, a child who has grown up since childhood, she has always been guarded as her own daughter, and her heart hurts baby, when Zhang Cui was busy before, she almost became half of Yunxi's mother. To be honest, there are many things that Zhang Cui doesn't know, but she knows everything about it.
"I think the house is so big, the places that should be pasted are almost pasted, and there is no need to cut paper. I want to buy a few pots of potted flowers and plants to suit the occasion and look comfortable, or why don't we go out and visit the flower market? Yunxi put the scissors in the center of the table, and no matter how Sister-in-law Li reacted, she took her hand and left.
In everyone's kind smiles, Uncle Li shook his head helplessly and followed, but there was a touch of happiness on his face that could not be concealed.
From noon to night, the three of them visited almost half of the flower market, turning around the flowers and plants that looked more suitable for the scene inside and out, and when they went home, they could barely fit the Jeep car they were carrying.
As soon as Old Man Leng entered the door, he was startled to see so many flowers.
"Why is this suddenly happening this year? I've never seen you love these things so much before, have you? The old man touched the kumquat tree at the door, and looked at Yunxi with some surprise.
"There are so many people this year, I bought it and put it away, just looking at it." Yunxi changed his shoes, drank tea on the sofa, his eyes sometimes moved from this pot of spider plants to that pot of chime plum, and finally had a feeling of the New Year in his heart.
The old man glanced at her, and didn't bother to say anything, so he directly took the tea made by Sister-in-law Li and moistened his throat: "What is Mr. Zhang looking for you for?" β
Yunxi raised the corner of his eyes, but he didn't expect the old man to come back for this: "Grandpa, I'm a little curious, how did you and that Mr. Zhang meet?" Every time she saw Mr. Zhang's calm face, even the years could not leave obvious marks in the corners of his eyes, and she always felt a little weird in her heart.
Subconsciously, she felt that he was somewhat like a hibernating creature.
Like a snake, dangerous, cold-blooded, and extremely aggressive.
It's just that at the moment, he doesn't show his fangs, so it looks like he is just an ordinary Hong Kong entertainment bigwig.
But if the characters in the entertainment industry can have such momentum casually, then there is really no hairpin family in this world.
is the tea he brought to entertain him, which is not something that ordinary dignitaries can see in this plot of Beijing, not to mention that none of the people around him are simple people. The driver who can park the car in front of her house without leaving a trace under Chen Hao's nose is not something ordinary people can afford. What's more, the driver like this and the agent who dialed Xiaoyun are all so loyal that she can't ignore them.
"You're a ghost!" Old man Leng took a sip of tea, looked at the tea leaves in the white porcelain teacup, and sighed for a long time: "This person is actually also from the army, and there was a direct line of his family among the founding generals in the early years, but later after the reform and opening up, he gradually disappeared, and no one in Beijing got him." Later, there were rumors that he had immigrated to the United States, but that was what he said. The foundation of his family is to put it in Zhongnanhai now, and I am afraid that it can also be ranked. β
Yunxi chuckled in his heart, he had expected this person to come from an amazing way, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
If he was able to let go of fame, fortune and power in his early years and hide in Hong Kong, now he suddenly returned to Beijing and became famous, what is it for?
It's just that he made a movie, and the attention of various media almost made him lose his former **.
Just for the sake of the popular confinement?
Even if she had a bad brain, she wouldn't believe such a thing.
"I'm suing you for this, it's to make you feel a little bottom. Mr. Zhang is indeed a Manchu magnate, and he abandoned the army to engage in business, but his wrists have not been softened at all. You are a junior, and there are some things to know about trade-offs. β
"I see." Yunxi nodded, understanding that this was the old man nodding himself, and showed a very pleasant smile very obediently.
"I'm old, and my spirit is just worse, so I'll go up and take a rest, and call me at dinner."
Yunxi answered, and saw the old man go upstairs.
That's when the phone rang suddenly.
She looked at the call reminder and was slightly stunned.
"I'm going back, I won't let you send it this time, I'll give you an early birthday first." Yunxi just shook his head, as if that warm face appeared in front of him, and at this moment, he was afraid that he was opening an angle called a cold smile. A thick exhaustion radiated from his tired brows and eyes, lingering like silk threads.
She suddenly remembered that on the day of the banquet, Qi Zhan had a surprised expression when she saw Chen Hao protecting her, and she was a little unspeakable in her heart, and she was a little helpless.
When he looked up again, he returned to normal, "I will often go to Shanghai when I have time, don't forget, my own company is also over there, you just go home, don't make it look like life and death." It's about to be the New Year, and your tone is a little wrong. β
"Yunxi ......." Qi Zhan listened to her slightly brisk tone, paused, and then continued to speak: "At that time, I said that I would slowly let go of my feelings for you, not an empty word. It's just that I'm not quite ready right now, so sometimes, even if you don't want to embarrass me, you don't have to think too softly. Qi Zhan adjusted his tone, and there was slowly a little more clarity in his voice: "It's a shrewd person like you, don't ask for hardship, it's best not to have anything to do with Xiao Ran and Chen Hao in the future." The whole business world knows that they are really life-threatening friendships, and you should always be on guard. β
Is it a lifelong friendship?
I once saved their lives by speeding on the street, and I thought it was a friendship with them. The result?
A shadow flew past Yunxi's eyes, half bright and half cold. The long, well-groomed hair was like a curtain, hiding the look in her eyes deeper and deeper.
For a while, the qiΔ around him seemed to become extraordinarily clear, and the continuous breathing, and the moonlight in his eyes slowly precipitated, instantly pulling people's intuition apart. Several non-commissioned officers cast surprised glances at her, as if they were amazed, how could such a proud woman of heaven have such a .......
"Forget it, you can do whatever you want." I don't know how many times it is, I was blocked outside by her thick diaphragm, I couldn't get close, and I couldn't bear it, so I could only consume it like this, dragging, and stiffening, no matter what I did, it seemed that there was no way to make her regain the warm smile she had before. Qi Zhan clenched his fists, and finally slowly let go: "I'm going to board the plane, call me anytime if you have anything." β
"Good! Have a safe trip! Yunxi's gaze turned slightly, facing the festive paper-cut on the window. The lovely boy with two pigtails was happily lighting firecrackers, and he looked like he was happy, which made people feel envious when they looked at it.
Putting down the phone, she opened the call log and glanced at Xiaoyun's agent's number.
If this person is really Mr. Zhang's reassuring subordinate, then what kind of role is Xiaoyun who is arranged to continue starring in the next movie?
At the banquet, she suddenly appeared on her knees and wagged her tail to beg for mercy, was it another play that Mr. Zhang had prepared earlier?
Looking at Zhang Cui, who was coming back with cheerful steps outside the door, Yunxi lightly lifted the corners of his lips.
In the past few years, scandals, wars, and shootings have continued, but nothing has attracted her attention more than the big drama in front of her.
The heirs of the hairpin family, what is the purpose of returning to Beijing this time?
She's really waiting to see a good show.
