Chapter 149: Looking Up at the Starry Sky (Part II)

"There is something unique about that award-winning work, and it's an honor for me to be close to you. "Angle, you are not only good at appreciating jewelry, but it seems that your observation of people is not inferior to your appreciation of jewelry."www.biquge.info

Zhang Qiao's eyes showed a hint of joy, knowing that Angle Chen was going to help him change the topic to the key point. On the surface, he is just intimate and considerate of the confidant next to him.

"That's because you were more honest with me, and after knowing that you had won my favor, you still honestly said that you only came to see me, and for another purpose. Actually, which of those people here doesn't have another purpose? I just want to help others, and I have to pick one that I look good to. Angle Chen secretly withdrew his hand, intentionally or unintentionally stroking the diamond ring of the little finger in his right hand.

Yin Rongyu watched her actions, thoughtful. Then he clapped his hands lightly, "Angle, I didn't expect you to be such an interesting and understanding person." I suddenly wanted to change my purpose. Mr. Zhang, now I know why you have such a girlfriend, and many people are envious of it. ”

Zhang Qiao smiled and glanced at Angle Chen sweetly, "That's it, she is the woman I admire the most in my life." Between us, like fish and water, indispensable. I don't know what Mr. Yin was worried about? Zhang Qiao was impatient to keep things going away, and tried to get the topic back to Yin Rongyu's "purpose". Zhang Qiao generally speaks Chinese, but from time to time a few sentences of English will pop up, with a strange tone, non-American and non-British.

Yin Rongyu didn't hear it, just stared at Angle Chen, with a hint of sourness in his eyes. "I heard that Angle Chen was helped by Mr. Zhang to go to Italy to study jewelry design, and only people with such a discerning eye can be worthy of Angle. In my opinion, Angle studied jewelry design, and the gifts that Mr. Zhang gives every year have nothing to do with jewelry, right? ”

"That's nature." Zhang Qiao swallowed a slice of tuna dipped in sauce and casually swept over the jewelry Angle Chen was wearing, from necklaces to earrings and the diamond ring. "This is not only for her pleasure, but also for her to learn. A talent like Rong Shao also gives a lot of jewelry to his favorite lady every year, right? ”

"I'm not a young and promising person like Mr. Zhang, I'm just a relatively idle guy at home, just shopping around, not as financially free as Mr. Zhang, and sometimes I can't help myself if I want to buy anything to please the woman I like." Yin Rongyu frowned slightly.

"Is Rong Shao too humble? How to say that he is also the vice president of Wancheng Construction Company, this Wancheng Company is a latecomer, one of the top construction companies in Hong Kong, and I heard that it is jointly controlled by the Yu family in Hong Kong and a boss of the Yin family in the mainland. Rong Shao, you have the surname Yin again, this ...... Ha ha. Zhang Qiao said that in the end, he pretended to pick up a piece of tender duck liver that was fried just right.

Yin Rongyu's identity at this time was the vice president of Wancheng Company, which was just a title temporarily assigned to him by Yin Wanda. Wancheng Company is indeed jointly controlled by Hong Kong's Yu Group and Yin Wanda, Zhang Qiao thought that Yin Rongyu was Yin Wanda or the Yin family who could speak, but he didn't know that this India was not the other Yin.

A sneer crossed Yin Rongyu's heart.

"In my house, this Wancheng is only for me to play with." Yin Rongyu also said casually.

Zhang Qiao quietly pricked up his ears.

"However, the eldest brother in the family always thinks that my idleness is too much of an eyesore, so I recently went to find a project to do on my own, such as to see if I can negotiate an infrastructure deal in the Middle East? You say it's not that easy, but you have to put on a show. Yin Rongyu looked at Zhang Qiao, who was cold on the surface, "I heard that Mr. Zhang is more familiar with the royal family in the Middle East, so he doesn't expect a big deal, if you can introduce it, let me have a few meals with some Arab royal family, even if it can't be negotiated, I can use this experience to deal with my boss." As he spoke, he smiled and looked coquettish without any ambition.

Angle Chen was surprisingly silent at this moment, stirring the tomato soup in front of him, not eating or drinking, only bowing his head and listening quietly, the diamond ring on his little finger glowing in the light.

Yin Rongyu felt that her neck was very beautiful, long and white, slightly lowered, with a sense of softness like water, like a white swan waiting to be killed.

The Chinese beauty jewelry designer at the luncheon is just a famous style, and the beauty is beautiful, only businesslike, not close to people.

Angle Chen, who was with her boyfriend Zhang Qiao at dinner, was so gentle and considerate, and completely became a virtuous helper, what to say and what not to say, just right, and the posture of sitting and listening was particularly soft and moving.

Zhang Qiao is not as charming as Yin Rongyu and this charming reverie, "What's so difficult about having a few meals with the royal family?" Before coming to Hong Kong, I used to meet with some Arab royalty in Dubai. Zhang Qiao said in a tone that seemed very ordinary.

Yin Rongyu seemed to look at Angle Chen in a daze, "I found that Angle, your hands are also very beautiful." "A diamond ring on the slender ring finger stands out, with a slender white gold background surrounded by a larger diamond.

"I think after staying with you for a long time, the man next to you must have become very precise in his eye for jewelry. Do you have any experience with the taste of femdom men? Yin Rongyu seemed to have forgotten the existence of Zhang Qiao, and only stared at Angle Chen stupidly.

Zhang Qiao showed an uncomfortable expression.

Angle Chen looked up at him suddenly, only for a moment, his smile suddenly returned, and he leaned on Zhang Qiao with coquettishness, "You ask him." ”

"The so-called close to Zhu Zhechi, I just saw that I thought it was suitable, so I bought it for her." Zhang Qiao said perfunctorily, thinking about how to arouse Yin Rongyu's attention to the topic of Arab royalty again.

No more verifying anything. The sneer in Yin Rongyu's heart became louder, and he lowered his head and ceremoniously ate two bites of salmon, thinking about how to get out.

I felt a palpitation in my heart, and the knife and fork in my hand were unstable, and they fell to the ground with a clatter, which sounded particularly harsh in the quiet atmosphere of the restaurant.

Ignoring the sideways glances of the other people in the restaurant, Yin Rongyu's face turned white in an instant.

Yu Youjia.

"Are you alright, sir?" A beautiful public relations woman from the restaurant trotted over elegantly, expressing professional concern for Yin Rongyu, whose face changed suddenly.

Yin Rongyu's eyes were empty, he couldn't notice anyone else, his heart was pounding, he looked up in confusion, and only saw a bustling night scene with a bit of desolate and cold endless starry sky.

**************************

In the shining darkness of the city that never sleeps, how many people still remember looking up at the starry sky?

Whether there are or not, or how many of them, Chenxing is at least one of them.

A unit in a residential building in Tseung Kwan O, Hong Kong.

After Chenxing watered the flowers and plants on his closed balcony, he put down the bucket and stared blankly at the night sky outside the glass window. Ever since he spotted this faint star, he had been looking at it unconsciously, hoping that it would be brighter and more shining.

"Old man, Xingzai, it's time to drink beautiful soup. Is Ah Yuan still online? Chen's mother came out with a pot of red dates and white fungus nourishing soup and greeted the family.

Chen Xing was born in an ordinary middle-class family in Hong Kong, and there are two older sisters and one younger sister at home, and he is an only son. Chen's father ran the auto parts industry in his early years, opened a small factory, and was rich for a while, but later went bankrupt, and the high-end community housing where the family lived was sold and not enough to pay off the debt. is meeting the Chenxing entrance examination, the eldest sister and the second sister are going to college, although they also work, but the family is too expensive, Chen's father and mother are re-operating the auto repair shop after the money earned every month to pay off the debt. If Chenxing continues to study for high school preparatory and then goes to university, Chen's mother can only consider applying for CSSA issued by the Social Welfare Department (the concept of CSSA is similar to that of low-income households in the mainland), and the two older sisters also plan to interrupt their studies and work full-time first to supplement the family and support her younger brother in school.

Chen Xing, who has always had excellent grades, gave up the secondary school entrance examination without telling his parents, and went to find a full-time job by himself at the age of 16, and later persuaded his parents to wait for this difficult period at home to pass before re-taking the examination. Chenxing worked as a pizza restaurant delivery clerk for a period of time, enduring the work of repetitive monotony and dealing with countless customers every day, after all, it was a young youth, and he couldn't help but feel depressed, and then on the way to deliver pizza, he happened to see Dongming TV's dance artist class enrollment, and the remuneration was very generous, he usually liked to sing and dance, he did not hesitate to sign up, and finally stood out among more than 1000 applicants and became one of the lucky 10 new artists. After that, he was favored by the TV station and acted in two juvenile youth dramas, and then because of the contract with Dongming TV, he was poached to Taiwan by a discerning brokerage company, sang, and released an album at the age of 19,...... So it went all the way to the present. Chenxing himself knew that he could never go back to the past.

Because Chenxing dropped out of school and was admitted to the dance artist class of Dongming TV Station, which seemed to have a lot of income at the time, the burden on his family was greatly reduced. The two older sisters can also continue their studies at the university and independently support the tuition fees only by their part-time job expenses. Chenxing is frugal, and all the remuneration is given to Chen's mother, and he has become the breadwinner of the family when many of his peers are still enjoying the favor of their parents as a matter of course. After Chenxing became popular in Taiwan, his income increased greatly, and Chen's father's debts were paid off. Chenxing worked harder and harder, cooperated with any arrangements of the brokerage company, and finally bought a house in Tseung Kwan O that was much better than the old residential house originally rented in Mong Kok.

In the years when Chenxing was popular, he rarely spent any money for himself, and basically handed it over to his parents. If it weren't for Chenxing, this family would have had a much harder time.

Later, the sisters all went to work, and the family's financial situation gradually improved. Chen's mother let Chenxing spend his own money by himself, and opened another account for him to save all the money Chenxing gave them.

Chen's father has rich experience in auto parts, solid technology, although retired, was hired as a technical consultant by a famous car brand 4S store, working no more than 20 hours a week, plus various insurances such as pension insurance for two people, the two old people are more than enough financially, and they don't need their children to subsidize the family for the second elder.

The eldest sister Chen Si now works in one of the four major accounting firms, and is often busy working overtime and socializing, and rarely at home. The second sister, Chen Shu, stayed there to work in finance after studying in Canada. The little sister Chen Yuan has just joined the work for a few years, working as an ordinary clerk in the Social Welfare Department, and is relatively shy and shy.

After Chenxing went home, there were usually only four people at home at this time, Chen's father, Chen's mother, Chenxing and little sister Chenyuan.

Hearing his mother's greeting, Chenxing came to the living room table and helped her serve soup. Chen's father was watching Cantonese opera and was a little fascinated by it. Chenxing brought a bowl to the little sister who was surfing the Internet in the room.

"Fate, it's still red date soup today." Chenxing said to the little sister who was crackling in front of the computer and didn't know what to type.

Chen Yuan snapped off the webpage as if frightened, and Chen Xing didn't see anything, only saw a page of a thousand degrees of Internet post bar.

"Brother, thank you." Tatsuen, whose face is round and cute like an apple, carefully took the soup.

"What for?" Chenxing narrowed his eyebrows, wanting to show some demeanor as an elder brother.

"It's nothing, it's not online dating anyway." Chen Yuan winked at him, and then scooped the soup and said, "Actually, I like to eat red dates, but I know why my mother keeps cooking red date soup these days, not to replenish your blood and qi, when you just came home, he was frightened, thinking that you had some serious illness." Okay, I'll drink it, you go drink more. ”

After being kicked out of the room by the little sister, he didn't take a few steps, and Chenxing heard the conversation between the two elders in the living room.

"Xingzi hasn't been happy lately?" Chen's father saw that Chenxing was not in the living room, and whispered to Chen's mother.

"yes."

"Do you want to persuade him not to be an artist, and then go abroad to relax?"

"You don't talk about it in front of him. Our star boy has his own ideas, just let him figure it out for himself. Chen's mother didn't agree with Chen's father's idea.

"I don't always say on TV, the most important thing is to be happy. I see that our star boy is getting more and more unhappy doing this business, and he is in a daze at home, shouldn't he be persuaded too? ”

"I warn you, you are not to mention it. Don't let Xingzi think that we dislike him, do you understand? Isn't it normal for artists to have low ebb periods? Let's not talk too much at this time, we just need silent support, you know? Chen's mother solemnly declared to Chen's father.

It turned out that my parents were also very worried about themselves.

Chenxing was silent, pretending that he had just come out of his little sister's room and hadn't heard anything, and came out to drink soup as if nothing had happened. That night, he looked at the sky from the balcony in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep.

**************************

Thailand, the best 5 star hotel in downtown Bangkok, Po Island Hotel Bangkok.

Late at night, a black car suddenly drove to the front of the hotel lobby, and before the doorman who was waiting to answer could react, the back door of the car opened, pushing a ball of things down, and drove away quickly.

The young doorman quickly ran over and found it a huddled figure, seemingly trembling. Surprised and frightened, he turned the person over and saw that his face was pale, he was full of alcohol, sweating constantly, and he spit out a little foam in his mouth. The doorman was horrified, which is a typical symptom of pouring that kind of drug pill with wine, which can easily lead to death.

He had the impression that this person was a Chinese customer who had just arrived at the store in the middle of the night yesterday, Mr. Yu, very handsome, but he was in a hurry when he came, and he asked himself to help find a reliable local as a guide. After arriving at the hotel to drop off the luggage, I only rested for a few hours, and left early in the morning with the local guide, how did it become like this in less than a day?

"Mr. Yu?" The doorman shouted in broken Chinese, looked at the man who was wheezing and unconscious, did not dare to delay any longer, and quickly called the local emergency number.

Because of the doorman's movement, something fell out of the man's suit pocket, and the doorman picked it up and saw that it was a passport and a mobile phone.

On the passport, the person in the photo is Mr. Yu, who indicates that he is a Chinese man, Yu Youjia.

Yu Youjia suddenly opened his eyes, but he only looked at the night sky blankly, and no matter how the doorman called, he didn't wake up.

If there was a person who could see the sky through Yu Youjia's eyes at this time, he would definitely scream in horror. Because the night sky in his eyes is like Van Gogh's starry sky, everything is twisted, burning, full of fiery restlessness and blind movement.

Looking up at the starry sky, infinitely confused.
