Chapter Twenty-Six: Unbalanced Troubles

Running around for more than half a month made the energetic Zhu Daolin feel that every day was very fulfilling, even if he used the lunch break to quietly start a passionate and crazy struggle with Song Shaojun in the twenty-five-story office, he could still devote himself to his busy work with good spirits.

After more than half a month of hard work, Zhu Daolin has bought all the items that should have been bought, and he has bought a lot of things that should not be bought, and the last five pieces of Song and Yuan porcelain on the bookcase and the two blue and white porcelain from the Yongle period were also delivered to the trusted Song Shaojun at noon today, and within two days, there will be no less than 30 million yuan of huge money transferred to his newly opened Great Wall card.

The rest of the ancient jade was given as a gift to his mother who liked jade bracelets after dinner not long ago, leaving only a small and delicate jade pendant, which was also the most important and favorite of the five ancient jades, and was lying quietly in his pocket at the moment, and he had been hesitating whether to give it away.

The night was dark, Zhu Daolin drove the car back to the villa garage and parked it, sat quietly in the car and lit a cigarette, Uncle Xuanqing's expectant eyes and the smiling face of the shopkeeper Ying came to his mind again, and in a trance, there seemed to be a distant and vague voice hovering in his ears: "Come back......"

Zhu Daolin shook his head slightly, glanced at the white Audi A4 hatchback in front of the car that had been parked in the garage after it was bought, extinguished the cigarette butt and opened the door to get out of the car.

Zhu Daolin put away the key and entered the gate of the villa, and saw Chu Mei in a white silk robe standing at the top of the stairs, obviously coming down to wait for him after hearing the movement.

Chu Mei greeted him and reported in a low voice: "Uncle Zhang, who is on vigil at the company, just called and said that after you drove away from the company half an hour ago, he entered the abandoned warehouse next door from the gap in the demolished wall and began to inspect, and found that the five four-wheeled carriages that were originally parked under the plane tree were missing, and asked me if you sent someone to pick them up?" ”

Zhu Daolin subconsciously glanced at the diamond ring on his left wrist, smiled and explained apologetically: "That's right, I let people take it away, I forgot to say hello, and I worked hard for his old man." ”

Chu Mei finally put her mind at ease: "During this time, the villa was full of large and small wooden boxes and cardboard boxes, and when I came back from work in the evening, I saw that they were all gone, and I knew that you let them be transported away, so when I received a call from Uncle Zhang just now, I asked him not to worry, okay, I'll go up." ”

"Let's go up together, I still need your opinion."

After Zhu Daolin finished speaking, he took the lead upstairs, entered the study and put the car keys, returned to the desk and sat down to open the drawer, and took out the plan he wrote some time ago and flipped through it again.

Chu Mei quickly brought the tea tray and silently poured a cup of hot tea for Zhu Daolin.

"Sit down, you take a look first, do it when you have time, and don't have time to take it back to the company for others to do." Zhu Daolin handed the plan to Chu Mei, picked up the teacup and waited patiently.

Chu Mei quickly finished reading the two-page plan, and asked Zhu Daolin curiously: "The list of novels listed in the first three items of the plan is selected from "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", there is no problem in compiling and printing, "Dream of Red Mansions" is simpler, you can find the original book and scan it and re-edit and typeset, but the author has changed from Pu Songling to 'Duobao Daoren' It's a bit funny, but you are the boss, you have the final say." ”

"Only the fourth item is more tricky, to write the Ming and Qing Dynasty style on the basis of the Hong Kong movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", it is not easy, although it is a popular novel, it still requires a certain amount of literary skills, I am worried that I will not be able to write well."

Zhu Daolin smiled with satisfaction: "I believe you must be able to do it, your professional level is worthy of my trust, I have seen more than a dozen character design sketches created by you, and the rich classical style makes me feel very good, which is very suitable for the painting creation of classical novels and mythological stories, so I handed over this plan to you, and not included it in the plan I handed over to Liang Cheng." ”

"This plan is divided into two steps, the first is to compile and print the stories included in the plan into a traditional Chinese script in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and finish making comic books on the basis of traditional Chinese scripts, and the printing quantity of each book and each set of comic books is in the remarks column, how to do it, you can get ideas for me, you are the most professional."

Chu Mei, who was praised, was sweet in her heart: "Okay, I took it, and I can also make my life more fulfilling, so that I won't have nothing to do after work, but in the end, it must be handed over to the company for printing." Through the printing of the two sets of albums "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Golden Vase Plum", the company has added more than 2.6 million yuan of profits to its books, and the confidence and enthusiasm of the company's employees have been raised at once. ”

Zhu Daolin is also very satisfied with this: "If it weren't for Liang Cheng's repeated refusal, saying that he wouldn't let me spend money in vain, the company's profits from these two sets of albums should have doubled." ”

Chu Mei Zhengse said: "I support Mr. Liang and his sister-in-law on this point, you should know that the company's printing of these two sets of albums is pure piracy, no need to pay royalties, no need to pay value-added tax, income tax, business tax and various additional taxes, and the use of old equipment that the company is ready to eliminate, the entire production cycle is only twenty-five days, the cost has been compressed to the lowest point, but the profit has reached the highest point." ”

"Therefore, the company's high profit of more than 2.6 million yuan has been satisfied, not to mention that you are still the second largest shareholder of the company, and if I can complete all the tasks in your plan within two months, I can at least earn back more than five million profits for the company."

Zhu Daolin secretly praised Chu Mei's character, laughed and suddenly had a rather narcissistic idea, he pointed to the plan in Chu Mei's hand, and made a request without blushing:

"I almost forgot to remind you, when you created "A Chinese Ghost Story", it was best to draw the Taoist priest named Yan Chixia like me, the Yan Chixia played by Wu Ma in the movie is too ugly, Wu Ma's acting skills are good, but his crooked appearance is not only sorry for the audience, but also a kind of damage to my Taoist image, it must be changed, this is very important, don't forget!"

Chu Mei was surprised, and quickly covered her mouth so happily that she laughed for a long time before stopping: "Okay, your image is also quite powerful, but I need to paint you with a beard, otherwise you are too young to be good enough, poof......"

"Don't laugh, okay? Why should I print books at my own expense and buy them myself? ”

Zhu Daolin, who was full of words, saw that Chu Mei was still laughing, so he had to stop his futile defense depressedly, put his hand into the suit pocket and hesitated for a long time, took a deep breath and took out the things, grabbed Chu Mei's hand and put it on his palm, said "Give you a birthday gift in advance" and got up and left and walked to the bedroom.

Chu Mei's laughter stopped, staring blankly at the jade pendant in her palm, until Zhu Daolin's figure disappeared at the bathroom door at the end of the bedroom, she came to her senses, stared at the bathroom door that had been closed for a long time, and a layer of mist gradually floated in her beautiful eyes.

There was a sound of "banging" water in the bathroom, and Chu Mei, who wanted to thank her, suddenly turned crimson, and in a panic, she held the jade pendant tightly, quickly picked up the plan on the table, and trotted towards the door of the study like a thief who exposed her whereabouts.

Zhu Daolin, who changed into a black warm autumn coat, dried his long hair and walked out of the bathroom, opened the wardrobe, took out the silver-gray Taoist robe with black embroidery trim and put it on skillfully, took out a beautiful antique pocket watch from the inner pocket of the hanging suit and looked at the time, and casually stuffed it into the personal pocket in the robe, but when he turned around, he found that the slim Chu Mei was standing quietly next to the Bogu shelf between the bedroom and the study.

Zhu Daolin paused slightly and walked over: "Haven't slept late at night?" ”

"I sprained my foot." Chu Chu's moving Chu Mei lowered her head.

Zhu Daolin squatted down to take a closer look, and sure enough, he saw Chu Mei's white and tender left ankle slightly swollen and purple, and immediately stood up and held her arm: "I don't have any medicine or wine, fortunately, I didn't hurt my bones, let's send you back to the room to lie down first, and I'll go to the kitchen to get you some ice cubes to put on it." ”

"Hmmm......"

Zhu Daolin quickly brought the ice cubes in the crisper bag, entered Chu Mei's room and applied them to her ankles, and then gently massaged her calves to relieve the pain: "Why are you so careless?" ”

How dare Chu Mei say that because she was too happy and excited, after returning to the room, her slippers slipped and sprained when she threw herself on the bed, and she blushed for a long time before she asked timidly, "Are you going to leave again?" ”

Zhu Daolin took the cushion and put it at Chu Mei's feet, and felt Chu Mei twist her legs uneasily and immediately stopped: "Don't move!" A pillow will reduce blood backflow, and I'll massage you in a few minutes, and you'll feel better tomorrow morning. ”

"You haven't answered me yet...... Actually, you look good in this robe. Chu Meishui's eyes kept looking at Zhu Daolin, who was concentrating on massaging him.

Zhu Daolin, who seemed to look normal on the edge of the bed, complained bitterly in his heart, and an irrational little comrade under the robe began to shake his head and misbehave, so that Zhu Daolin did not dare to adjust his sitting posture during the treatment of more than ten minutes.

What's even worse is that it will be midnight in another hour, if you can't let the beautiful woman in front of you who is so tender that people want to take a bite of it fall asleep before that, you can only give up the action in order to cover her ears and eyes, so I am afraid that it will be delayed for another day.

"Stop talking, close your eyes and rest...... I'll be back around the winter solstice, you pay more attention to your body when I'm away, don't stay up late too often, and don't stay in front of the computer for too long......"

"Speaking of computers, I regret a little, I shouldn't let you move the whole set of professional computers home, the work is not finished, you need to combine work and rest, and you should pay attention to safety when you go to the driving school to practice driving, fortunately, there are two company guys who sign up with you to learn together, otherwise I really don't ......feel at ease."

"Don't be ashamed if you're greedy, you don't know the way to my house, my dad has good skills, he and my mom like you very much, if you go to eat mixed rice, you must be more popular than me......"

Chu Mei, who closed her eyes quietly, felt extremely happy, Zhu Daolin's long-winded words and moderate leg massage seemed to have a magical magic, which made her relax after a short period of shyness, and felt extremely enjoyable, as if bathed in bursts of sweet and warm warm currents, unconsciously emitting an even and long breathing sound.

Zhu Daolin looked at Chu Mei who was sleeping sweetly with a crimson face rather apologetically, carefully covered her with a quilt, walked to the door and turned the light to the weakest, and gently closed the door, then stood at the door and let out a long breath, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, and returned to his bedroom with a complicated mood to close the door.

The Polaris wall clock ticking on the wall pointed to eleven forty o'clock in the middle of the night, Zhu Daolin finally checked the tidy bedroom, turned off all the lights and turned into the study, sat cross-legged in the center, and soon entered the ethereal world of things and me.
