CHAPTER XXIII
"What? I'm used to eating Xu Zitang's high-end food, is it no longer delicious? Lin Qi looked at Bertram across the dinner table with an obviously absent-minded look.
"No, I always feel uneasy today." Bertram didn't know what was wrong with him, but he always wondered what was going to happen to Lance. When he woke up this morning, Lance and Xu Zitang were gone. He was inexplicably desolate, as if they would never come back.
"What, I'm afraid that Xu Zitang is gone and won't come back?"
"No, I think something is going to happen to Lance."
Lin Qi frowned, why would Bertram say that, did he know what Lance was going to do? Lance only told her that there was a party tonight, but he didn't say what it was.
"Do you know where he went today?" Lin Qi tried his best to make his tone sound casual.
"I don't know, it's because he didn't tell me today, where he went, so I'm uneasy. He used to sue me no matter where he went. ”
Hearing this, Lin Qi was so jealous, she didn't know Lance's itinerary so clearly, but after thinking about it, what kind of jealousy she ate with a boy, it is estimated that Lance was afraid of Bertram's crankiness, and the deeper the contact, the more Lin Qi found that Bertram was easily insecure, and Lance was often coaxing him.
Moreover, I'm not Lance's girlfriend, ah!! The more I think about it, the more sad I become, the relationship between him and himself has always been very clear, and he is making himself amorous.
"Lin, let's go find Lance!"
Hearing Bertram's words, the spoon in Lin Qi's hand fell on the table, isn't this a bit too much of a fuss, just went out to socialize and didn't say where to go, so he had to look for it all over the street?
"But we don't know where he is?"
"I have a way!" Bertram said proudly, like a little fox who has succeeded in his scheme.
When Bertram logged in to his account with Lance's password on the pad and synchronized the text messages and call logs, Lin Qi felt for the first time that the development of science and technology was such a blessing to mankind! But she really wanted to know the password!
Bertram quickly found the address of the hotel in Lance's latest text message on the map, and then took a taxi with Lin Qi to the hotel called Star.
"Bertram, wouldn't Lance be upset if they found out?" Lin Qi is a bit of an infringement like this.
"No, I'll take the responsibility."
"Okay," the two of them stood in the huge crystal hall like village girls entering the city, looking at the four service desks that were exactly the same, "which one is?" ”
"I guess it's the one in the middle."
"Why?"
"Because of that sister, she looks kinder."
Although Lin Qi felt that this reason was very low, she couldn't see anything famous, "Okay." ”
The two of them casually walked to the only dark gilt service desk, "Hello, may I ask if there is a guest named F.Bnce here today?" ”
The beautiful and touching lady at the front desk smiled, "Miss, I'm sorry, this is the VIP service desk, please go over there for ordinary guests to consult." ”
Lin Qi and Bertram blushed, and pretended to be calm and walked to the service desk on the other side.
"Hello, is there a guest from G.Bnce? We are his family. ”
"Sorry, no." The front desk lady said after checking the computer records.
"Is it VIP?"
"If it's a VIP, please show your VIP ID and check over there." The young lady kindly pointed to the service desk just now.
"Thank you."
The two returned in vain, sitting in a taxi, constantly complaining.
"A broken hotel, so many service desks."
"That is, I still have a VIP certificate, if I had it, I would have gone straight up a long time ago."
"I really don't know who designed the service desk, you can distinguish between VIP and ordinary a little clearer!"
"That's it!"
"Maybe they're already home!"
"Yes, let's go home. Uncle Driver. Please hurry up! ”
When I got home, I found that Lance was already at home, and Xu Zitang was also at home.
"He fell asleep and I met him at the hotel and drank too much. Let him rest. ”
"Oh." Bertram's love is visibly a little low.
"You go to sleep too." Lin Qi patted Bertram's shoulder.
After Bertram left, Xu Zitang and Lin Qi came to the rooftop of the roof.
"You guys are so coincidental today, you bumped into each other?" Lin Qi felt a little strange.
"It's a coincidence, but"
"What's wrong?"
Xu Zitang roughly talked about what happened, ignoring the sensitive information, "Do you know that Lance knows those people?" ”
"I don't know." Lin Qi shook his head. She had never heard of Lance at the company helping him.
"Maybe it's just a deal, as he said. You don't have to think about it, and besides, I'm leaving in a few days. ”
"Let's go? So fast! ”
"I'm here to do the mission, and it's done. Why are you still here? ”
"Then Bertram has a body."
"Lin Qi, I have lived with him for so long, and I find that his problems are very complicated and very strict. His condition, Lance has something to hide from us. ”
"Perhaps, it's not a good thing, I don't want to mention it."
"No, my instincts tell me that Lance is deliberately hiding something."
"Should I ask, then?"
"Lin Qi, this is your own business, you have to decide for yourself. I watched Bertram for the past few days, and I found that he actually had a big mental problem. ”
"What?!" Lin Qi understood what Xu Zitang meant, which means that bertram is likely to have a mental illness.
"I think it's a dual personality." Xu Zitang's eyes were very serious and strict, and Lin Qi couldn't find the slightest meaning of joking.
Lin Qi couldn't accept that such a lovely child had such a strict illness, "You can't be mistaken." ”
"Absolutely. I'm not a professional psychiatrist, so I say I'm skeptical. ”
Lin Qi knew that Xu Zitang would not suspect it casually, since she suspected it, then it was true.
"I once saw Bertram get up in the middle of the night and kill a wild cat barking outside the house. Then, the next day, he came back from school and told me that he didn't know who was so cruel and killed the cat. ”
Lin Qi was a little shocked, she didn't know what to do? I don't know if Lance knows about Bertram, and if she doesn't, then how she's going to sue him.
"Don't worry about yourself, I said this in the hope that you will pay more attention to him, not to make yourself nervous."
"I see."
Xu Zitang is really like poop, coming and going in a hurry. Three days later, she set out on her return journey. Lin Qi went to the airport to see her off.
Before leaving, Xu Zitang and Lance met in a café, of course, in a secret meeting that only the two of them knew. Xu Zitang discussed with him what happened at the hotel that day, and also talked to him about Bertram's condition. As she expected, he had known that Bertram had a dual personality.
"That's it, there is an old Chinese saying that it is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, and you can solve your own affairs. Lin Qi likes you so much, it's not that I can make her leave willingly with a word. ”
"Well, I wish you a nice trip."
"Goodbye, I hope you can find the perfect way to reject her."
Lance shook his head with a wry smile.
Xu Zitang looked at the clouds in front of him outside the plane window, wondering why people always pursue this kind of thing that looks beautiful, but is actually just water vapor?
After a dissatisfied, Lin Qi finally got the promotion opportunity she dreamed of in a crisis management. She was officially promoted from an assistant to an assistant agent, although she is still a prefix assistant, but she can now independently watch the shooting and arrange the artist's itinerary. Of course, the decision of all artists is still in the hands of independent agents.
But in a short period of time, she has risen several times in a row, and she has already gained a foothold in CAA. When everyone talked about the little Chinese girl, most of them still praised her, and of course some people talked about her behind her back and climbed into the bed on the upper floor.
Today in the elevator, Lin Qi and Lance met by chance, and it happened that there were two few people in the elevator.
"You say, the taste of this high-level is really heavy now? No breasts and no ass, you can also look at it. ”
"Yes, but I guess it won't be crazy for long, after all, porridge is only occasionally drunk."
"I think so."
Lin Qi was calm and didn't intend to pay attention to it, after all, this was really nothing compared to the sarcasm when she was a temporary worker.
However, Lance frowned again and again, his current relationship with Lin Qi was not as simple as an ordinary friend, Lin Qi was only sincere to him, and he naturally treated Lin Qi as a good friend. Now someone is slandering his good friend in front of him.
"Ha, it turns out that the company's recruitment standards have been lowered so much now, lin!" Lance is a gentleman, so naturally he won't go up and reason with the two little girls.
Of course, Lin Qi knew that Lance was helping her, but she didn't want to respond, but if she didn't answer this now, or if she didn't answer it beautifully, it wouldn't be good for her authority in the future.
Lin Qi smiled slightly, "Normally, when there is not enough manpower, I will find some temporary employees, and when I am done with this time, I will all clean them up." ”
"Oh, that's good, otherwise it was seen by a big partner, and I thought that our CAA did not have proper etiquette training for employees."
"By the way, I forgot to spray perfume today, do you have any strange smell when you are close to me?" Lin Qi knows that Europeans, especially European women, are born with a strong body odor, which is one of the biggest reasons why they wear perfume every day.
"No, the soap on your body smells very good, what brand is it?" You know, the smell of European women is not something that can be masked by a faint smell of soap.
"I don't know, I didn't wash the clothes. But why do I smell something strange, is it you? ”
"No, I don't believe you, but I've heard recently that when people talk a lot, their sweat glands are abnormally developed."
"Really? Then I'm going to talk less and do more things in the future!"
"Yes, people who work hard are the most beautiful!"
It wasn't until Lance and Lin Qi got out of the elevator that the two women stomped their feet fiercely, and then tentatively sniffed each other's clothes, but there was nothing but the smell of perfume.
"Humph!"
"Humph!"
Lin Qi was the first to take over the new female model patty, who looks sweet, a little childish, 180 tall, Russian, the little girl is very simple, it is said that she will play big if she drinks too much. However, Lin Qi felt that being an artist was indispensable, so she told Patty that if someone poured her wine, she would drink two glasses and start pretending to be drunk, and then let her do the rest.
Patty is a newcomer, and has only appeared in some magazines a few times, and has good reviews in the industry. But who came out to mix, who didn't come for money, there is no exposure, the industry is sure, there is a fart. Lin Qi began to help her design what route to take day and night, how to negotiate what conditions with advertisers, and as soon as the days were full, the number of meetings with Lance decreased, but she still tried to go to Bertram to cook a meal for him on weekends every week, and she usually ran into Lance.
But Lin Qi obviously felt that Lance was better to her than before, maybe she chased her too tightly before, which made the family feel scared, Lin Qi thought so.
At the dinner table, Bertram's complexion was obviously much better than before, and when Xu Zitang left, he left a recipe for dietary therapy, and Lance specially found an Asian chef to take care of Bertram's life every day.
"Haven't you been busy lately? The first time to bring an artist alone. Lance asked.
"yes, those advertisers are really hard to talk about, I think they just bullied us into being newcomers, that's why they pushed the price so low." Lin Qi's tone was a little complaining.
"Yes, it's all like this, I also took more photos than anyone else at the beginning, and the money was less than anyone else, and in the end, I didn't necessarily give a straight face in the publication."
"Popularity is the key, and it must be in a short period of time to increase patty's exposure. Otherwise, it would be too expensive to shoot such a cheap advertisement! ”
"You want to help her stir up the scandal?" Lance blurted out, because such things are too common, find a rich second generation, introduce people to the past, and within a few months, everyone will take what they need. It's the fastest, but it's also the most old-fashioned.
"Of course not!" Lin Qi never thought of relying on that kind of unpopular news to make his artists popular.
"And what do you want to do?"
"I don't know the specifics yet, but I'll definitely find a way."
"Yes, Lin is the smartest Chinese girl!"
"Of course!"
The two men talked happily, not noticing Bertram's somewhat gloomy eyes.
On the flight from Los Angeles to Beijing, China, Lu Wen was a little distracted, and his mind always appeared what the man said to him and the scene of that day.
"You obviously don't like women, you see I guessed right." The man's bewitching eyes looked at him directly, and the blood stains on the corners of his mouth added to the charm.
"Damn it!" Lu Wen pinched his thigh fiercely.
After getting off the plane, Lu Wen went straight to Xu's house, but was told that Xu Zitang did not go home at all. He wanted to find out the details of that man, but relying on the Lu family's background and connections in City A, he couldn't find it at all. However, the Xu family's intelligence system is different, or Xu Zitang's intelligence sources are relatively extensive, and he made a special trip to her for help, but her eldest lady didn't go home at all.
Lu Wen went home to rest for a few days, and kept asking about Xu Zitang's whereabouts without interruption, and finally found out the whereabouts of her old man, this aunt and grandmother actually ran to Africa!
Xu Zitang's road doesn't work, he has to find another way, Situ Rin is the son of his godfather, he can't use his connections after graduating from his godfather, it won't work, the Rong family's business doesn't involve overseas, it won't work, then he can only go to the fifth child of the Shangguan family, he is the son of the Shangguan family, and the son of the Xu family, the connections of the two families add up, and they can always find something.
Just when the fifth child of the Shangguan family had not sent back any news, Lu Wen received a call from Xu Zitang across the ocean.
"Dude, I heard you're looking for a man all over the street?"
Lu Wen black line, what is it called looking all over the street, he is obviously secretly investigating, "Yes, eldest lady, what are you doing in the place where birds don't in Africa?" ”
"Look at the elephants."
"Huh, huh? You reported the big smuggler to Interpol and fled, right? Lu Wen also found out before leaving the United States that someone had reported rhubarb to Interpol.
After they got the things that day, they quickly evacuated, and Lin Qi also took away the old Wang, the half-dead male pet, by the way.
"Yes, I'm afraid he'll seek revenge on me." Xu Zitang's tone was as plain as saying that I ate an egg today, and when I heard it, I didn't pay attention to it at all.
"Hehe, when are you coming back?"
"I don't know, it depends on my mood."
"Hang up." Look at her mood, her old man's mood is more inaccurate than the weather forecast, and she can still be expected to come back to do things like finding someone?!
"Hey, hey, why are you like this, I told you that you owe me an adult this time, and I remember it for you."
"Didn't you say in the hotel, it's a trivial matter?"
"What's wrong with the little things, it's also a debt of affection. Don't worry, I won't want you, the debt of human affection. Alright, I'm going to hang, bye-bye. ”
"You"
