Chapter Ninety-Five: The Town
"What time is it?" Ji Qingling quietly leaned on Fu Zijun's shoulder, and after a long while, he yawned and asked.
"It's just past six o'clock."
"I'm going to be late that night!" She woke up suddenly, jumped out of bed and hurriedly changed her clothes.
"Don't worry." He squeezed her hand, "We've been on an international flight for so long, it's normal to adjust the time difference, it's okay to be late for a while." ”
"That's your friend and collaborator, the first time we met, I can't be so rude." As she spoke, she grabbed a piece of clothing from her closet and hurried to the bathroom.
"Actually, it's okay......" Looking at her panicked appearance, he couldn't help laughing, how long has it been since he had seen her so real? It seems that the trip was worth it.
"This is my wife, Ji Qingling." Fu Zijun took Ji Qingling to his seat and introduced it in English very intimately.
Although the other two people present were young, they were also human spirits, and they instantly understood that Ji Qingling could not understand German, and Fu Zijun loved his wife very much, so in order to take care of her affection, he would give up the German they used in the negotiation before and use English instead, so he also introduced himself in English in a good manner.
"My brother is being taken care of by Miss Ji in China." Leo said very politely, his attitude was gentle and kind, not at all like the cold and ruthless brother in Li Dahai.
"Where, Director Li is a very good person." Ji Qingling felt that Leo would not be happy to know that his brother had gone to teach her French, so she had to say something vaguely, and as soon as the words came out, she saw a mocking smile on his face.
"Miss Ji doesn't have to cover up for him, he has always been unreliable, he doesn't care about a bunch of official things, he has to run to teach French, such an unobtrusive person, I've always been worried that he is out in trouble." Leo's English does not have a trace of French, but has the same noble and indifferent Oxford accent as Fu Zijun.
It can't be your snitch, right? Ji Qingling looked at Fu Zijun suspiciously.
He looked innocent, "I'm not that boring, Leo is very concerned about this brother's situation." ”
It seems that Li Dahai's every move in the country is under the control of his brother, she inexplicably thought of Fang Zhongnan, who was also controlled by her brother, no wonder the two became good friends.
Knowing that the three men had something to talk about, Ji Qingling looked very low-key from beginning to end.
"It's boring at night, isn't it?" Fu Zijun took her hand apologetically, "Next time I come out to play, I will definitely plan well and accompany you wholeheartedly." ”
"That's what you said." Her eyes lit up.
"I promise!" He raised his hand and swore, "Today the matter has been roughly finalized, and the next things will be handled by someone else, so get a good night's sleep, and tomorrow we will walk around this town, and the day after tomorrow we will go to France, okay?" ”
"Okay, do you come here often?" She looked around curiously.
"It's quite frequent." Part of Fu's business is to do luxury agents, when Fu's ups and downs, most of the domestic business was encroached by Ji's, Cui's led by several companies, only the luxury agency has a solid foundation, no one can shake, so Fu's and Europe are very closely linked, Fu Zijun every time he goes on a business trip to this area, in the eyes of others novel scenery, in his opinion has been a little tired.
"Looks like you're going to be a good tour guide." She winked with a smile.
"It's definitely not worse than Fang Zhongnan." He uttered a vague sentence.
"Where is this?" She couldn't cry or laugh, the last time he used her words, knowing that Fang Zhongnan often took her out to play when she was in the UK, her heart was so sour that she couldn't do it, and she complained about a sour sentence every now and then.
Probably because he had been thinking about going out to play, Ji Qingling woke up early the next day, and Fu Zijun beside him was still sleeping quietly.
She looked at his sleeping face carefully, he was so strong, he was so childish when he was asleep, his hands were folded above his lower abdomen in a regular manner, and he slept like his life, meticulous, but the faint shadow under his eyes revealed his exhaustion.
She sighed softly in her heart, when she returned to the room last night, he asked her to go to rest first, he sat in front of the computer to deal with business, and then she fell asleep in a daze, and she didn't even know when he slept.
Since that day, he seems to be afraid of hurting her again, and he always carefully restrains himself, even if two people sleep in the same bed, he will never take half a step beyond the thunder pool.
He made her feel relieved and guilty.
She reached out in distress to touch his face, so soft as if a breeze was blowing, and he opened his eyes alertly and grabbed her hand with unmistakable precision.
After seeing her appearance clearly and meeting her surprised eyes, the vigilance in his eyes turned into gentleness, "Woke up so early?" ”
"Hmm." She replied embarrassedly, if it wasn't for his own trouble, he could sleep a little longer, and he must control his hands next time.
Fu Zijun seems to be a machine person who doesn't need to rest, obviously he hasn't rested for long, but he is still full of energy and energy.
Surrounded by lush trees, the two walked hand in hand in the woods, stepping on the rustling leaves, breathing in the fresh and natural air of a European town, and feeling a heart of peace and tranquility from the inside out.
"Mai Trach is a famous porcelain city, there are many knowledgeable housewives who will drive here from far away to find their favorite porcelain, and later we can go to the antique store to find treasures, by the way, there is also a ceramic museum, a tableware museum is worth seeing......" He introduced all the way, and she nodded frequently.
It is truly a quiet and elegant town, with verdant hillsides and fertile valleys, medieval churches and cobblestone streets, green vines on the walls that blow in the wind, and beautiful rivers running through the city.
People were reading books or hanging out in roadside cafes, without the roar of cars or pedestrians, and it was a completely different style from City A, where they lived, or even London, where she had been there.
"What a beautiful coffee cup!" Ji Qingling looked at the window of the antique store with a blank eye.
"It's all classic porcelain from here over the years, which one do you like?" He asked softly.
"I like them all!" She replied without thinking.
"Ugh." He was stunned, then smiled, "Then buy them all." ”
"Yes, the attitude is very good, it can be regarded as a test of the guò." She laughed out loud and carefully selected a set of coffee sets, "Is it good?" ”
"Not bad." He didn't hesitate to pay the bills.
"It's an antique, I'll take it out and use it when a guest comes." She said beautifully.
"Good things should be kept for one's own enjoyment, why should they be kept for guests?" He scratched her nose, "People, the most untreatable thing is yourself." ”
"You know that, too?" She wrapped her arms around him, "Then why don't you think about it more when you're working?" ”
"Because I only think about you whenever I have time, how can I think about any reason?" Even when he said such things, he still looked serious.
The current Fu Zijun is no less oily than Li Dahai when she talks about sweet words, and she is coaxed to her cheeks crimson every time, which is extremely useful.
"This old church is Villeroy & Boch's headquarters office building." Fu Zijun pointed to the church not far away and said.
"The church is an office building?" Her eyes widened in surprise, she thought it was just a simple old church.
"At that time, the French government confiscated all the property in the church, and the building became a public auction of government assets. ”
"It's hard for us to imagine that this is a religious place after all, and it has been converted into a factory and an office building, just like in our country, temples and Taoist temples have been converted into factories, which always feels strange."
"It's not surprising that our country hasn't had such a change in decades? Do you remember that there used to be a children's palace in our city A, which was built in the temple? Fu Zijun recalled the scene of his childhood, and a smile appeared on his lips, "At that time, my father sent me there every week to learn calligraphy, and I thought that place was weird, different from ordinary buildings, one day I ran to a room that was used as a warehouse, and saw a room full of Buddha statues, just piled up in such a mess." ”
"I remember," she echoed excitedly, "but I lived in the countryside when I was a child, and I didn't have the conditions to go to the Children's Palace, but I just visited it in a casual manner, and I don't know how envious and jealous I hate you rich and handsome people who can afford to go to the Children's Palace." ”
"Are you envious, jealous, hateful? If you were like me and spent your childhood learning calligraphy or piano and violin, you would never have this kind of affection. He scoffed, children are playful, even if he is as calm as he is to be confined to study at home all day, it is definitely not a pleasant thing.
"By the way, that children's palace seems to have become a temple again."
"Yes, the Children's Palace has long since moved away," a look of remembrance appeared in his eyes, "and later said that the temple is a historical building and needs to be well protected." Although the church in front of us is also a historical building, it has been sold to the Baohe Group, and even the government has no right to take it back. However, they also maintain this kind of building very carefully, and after so many years, you can see that the church is still the same as the church from the outside, and there is no trace of industrialization. ”
"That's probably more than 200 years, right?"
"Yes, when Baohe bought this old church, there were only about 100 residents in the town, and now their ceramic factory alone has more than 7,000 employees, and it is a successful enterprise that has led to the prosperity of the whole town, so people will make this place an industrial tourist attraction." Fu Zijun knows a lot about the history of this town. R1152
