Yuan Xiaoqi was very serious and said: "I also predicted that he has a big happy event recently, and joy falls from the sky." Believe it or not, remember what I say first, and see if the time is fulfilled. ”

Song Daqing and Chen Yan stood there and looked at this side, not knowing what mysterious things they were talking about here. Zhu Huaijing had no choice but to say, "Okay, I remember your words." But you also remember what I have said, and you can only say it to me, and not to any other man, nor to either of them. Do you promise? It's a matter of the image of the leader. ”

Yuan Xiaoqi said okay, and the two broke up. Zhu Huaijing always thought about it along the way, but he didn't know if Mayor Pi was happy tonight. Yuan Xiaoqi deliberately disagreed with Mayor Pi's east wind, and finally deliberately let Mayor Pi make a tie, which was a bit too much, and he had the taste of being self-assured. Mayor Pi is obviously sensitive, as if he feels that he is being led by the nose and played. Zhu Huaijing noticed the faint gloom on Mayor Pi's well-maintained face. He thought that if he really made Mayor Pi unhappy and spent so much effort to introduce Yuan Xiaoqi, he would be self-defeating and clever.

Yuqin went to bed early. Zhu Huaijing went into the bathroom to wash his face, still a little relieved, and dialed Fang Mingyuan's mobile phone: "Mingyuan, yes, yes, it's me." Have you rested? Excuse me. Did Mayor Pi say anything on the road? ”

Fang Mingyuan said: "Mayor Pi is very happy and very interested in Yuan Xiaoqi. ”

Zhu Huaijing said: "Oh, it's good to be happy." Let me tell you, after we broke up, Yuan Xiaoqi dragged me aside and said to me mysteriously that Mayor Pi had a big happy event recently, and what kind of joy fell from the sky. ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Fang Mingyuan said.

Zhu Huaijing said: "I have already explained to him, and I won't let him say this to anyone again." He agreed, and I'm sure he could do it. ”

I heard that Mayor Pi was really happy tonight, so Zhu Huaijing was relieved to go to bed.

Zhu Huaijing has been back to work in the office for a few days, and he doesn't seem to be used to it, and he wants to doze off after sitting for a while. The "** Work Report" was sent to solicit opinions, and there was not much to do in the past few days. He casually browsed the "Reference News" and saw a strange story on it, saying that there was a couple abroad, the man had a strong radiation on his body, and the woman had a large current on his body. The couple walked into the mall, and all the appliances inside would burn out. They were unable to function normally and were isolated in a research facility. After reading this report, Zhu Huaijing naturally remembered Yuan Xiaoqi, maybe this person does have special functions. Playing mahjong that night, Yuan Xiaoqi was really godly. If it was hearsay, he probably wouldn't believe it.

Liu Zhongxia came in with a smile and gently closed the door. Zhu Huaijing guessed that Liu Zhongxia must have something mysterious to tell him, so he politely invited him to sit. Liu Zhongxia sat across the table opposite him, leaned forward as much as possible, and said softly: "Huaijing, Director Pei of the Personnel Department just now, they came to me mainly to understand your situation. ”

When Liu Zhongxia said this, he paused and looked at Zhu Huaijing meaningfully. Zhu Huaijing guessed what was going on, and his heart couldn't help but be happy, and his back was hot. But he couldn't say anything, just smiled oh oh oh, and waited for Liu Zhongxia to continue. While opening the drawer again, he took out a cigarette, handed one to Liu Zhongxia, and took one himself.

Liu Zhongxia lit the cigarette, took a few deep breaths, and said, "Why did you smoke it too?" Zhu Huaijing smiled and said, "It's just an occasional draw." Liu Zhongxia then got to the point: "Huaijing, I know and admire you very well in the past few years of working with you." Director Pei, they know very well, and I have a comprehensive and objective introduction to your situation. ”

Zhu Huaijing looked sincere and said, "Thank you very much, Director Liu!" Seriously, these last few years have been the most enjoyable for me to work, mainly because of you. He privately thought that he had been living like a year in the past few years!

Liu Zhongxia said a few words modestly, and said implicitly: "Don't forget your brothers in the future!" ”

Liu Zhongxia didn't say anything, and Zhu Huaijing had to pretend to be confused, and said vaguely: "We will always be brothers." ”

Liu Zhongxia smiled and said, "Of course, of course. The two avoided this topic for the time being, and talked about it from all over the world. As he was pulling, the phone rang. As soon as Zhu Huaijing took it, it was Li Mingxi, he scolded with a smile and said, "You madman, I haven't heard from you for so long, I thought you were missing!" Went to Beijing? Oh, back? What do you think? ”

Li Mingxi looked very happy and said, "Very good, good harvest." Do you have time to stop by? I don't want to go to you. ”

Liu Zhongxia saw that his phone call couldn't be finished for a while, so he raised his hand and said goodbye. Zhu Huaijing also raised his hand, and then said into the phone: "You are such a big shelf!" Okay, I'll come over after work. You have to remember that I will come, and don't run away again. Zhu Huaijing felt that Li Mingxi was confused all day long.

Zhu Huaijing was inconvenient to ask the car to go, so he had to trouble Yuqin. Yuqin promised to pick him up when he got off work later. Zhu Huaijing looked at his watch and saw that there was still half an hour before he got off work, so he panicked. He hadn't seen Yuqin in days. Since the day he returned from the Jingyuan Hotel, he has never been to Yuqin again. In the early hours of that morning, they woke up early and never fell asleep again. Yuqin knew that he was going back, and she was not in a good mood. He didn't know how to comfort her, he just hugged her and kissed her non-stop. Yuqin's arms and legs wrapped tightly around him, and tears flowed down her face. He kept licking her face, not letting the tears wet her face. The sky gradually brightened, and Yuqin slowly calmed down. She bit his ear and said softly, "It's not that I didn't know there would be this moment, I think I'll be strong." But I really couldn't stand it just now. I burst into tears for a while, my body relaxed, and my brain cleared up. With the mirror, there is no need for us to avoid reality. You and I should both know that our love is abnormal, and it is impossible to live like a normal person. This is the saddest thing for me, but it is also unavoidable. In fact, I have already figured out that since I insist on loving you, I should let you come and go freely. As long as you really have me in your heart, even if you are gone, I am satisfied. When Zhu Huaijing heard these words, he couldn't tell whether he was hateful, regretful or ashamed, but he only felt that his internal organs were mixed together and painful. Seeing that it was not early, he got up and left. He wanted to make it easier for him and make a smile. Still in her pajamas, she escorted him to the door. Zhu Huaijing was reluctant to open the door immediately, hugged Yuqin and kissed again. Yuqin unbuttoned his shirt as she kissed and kissed deeply on his chest. Her lips were warm, and she told him to disperse. Yuqin kissed for a while, then reached out and touched his chest. Her whole body seemed to float, her expression was a little dazed, and she said, "You put me in here." The world is too noisy, and this house is too lonely. I will only be at peace if I think that I am in your place. Zhu Huaijing hugged her head and pressed it to her chest, as if he really wanted to stuff her into his chest. He said, "You are in there, always in it." He went out and felt tears in his eyes. He hurriedly wiped it and straightened his back. Downstairs, the cold wind blew, and everything seemed to be real.

The phone rang, it turned out to be Yuqin, and she was already waiting outside. Zhu Huaijing's chest couldn't stop jumping, and he laughed at himself in his heart. Maybe Yuqin always makes him so excited. He straightened his hair, pulled the door open, and came out. Walking out of the office building, I saw Yuqin's car parked not far away. He beckoned, and faintly saw Yuqin beckoning to him inside.

Yuqin opened the car door from the inside. As soon as he lowered his head, he saw the smiling Yuqin, and he couldn't help but feel hot. He turned his head to look at Yuqin, and saw that her face was more ruddy than usual today, and he wanted to pinch it, but he was afraid that others would see it. Yuqin just smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, so I don't know each other?" Looking at people so fiercely? ”

Zhu Huaijing pursed his lips and smiled, reached out to touch Yuqin's hand below, and said, "I really miss you." ”

Yuqin didn't say anything, just smiled, pulled out her hand and drove the car. When the car left the compound, Zhu Huaijing said, "Find a place to eat." My friend is a madman, and if we don't eat by ourselves, we might go hungry. ”

Yuqin had never seen Li Mingxi before, so she felt strange when she heard it, so she asked, "I only heard you say that he is a genius in painting." Are all artists like this? ”

Zhu Huaijing smiled: "That's not necessarily. But there are always things that are unusual in all artists, and they are very understandable. ”

Yuqin said playfully: "I'm an ordinary person, I must not understand your friend." ”

Zhu Huaijing saw a fast-food restaurant on the side of the road, so he said, "Dear ordinary people, let's fill our stomachs first." ”

Yuqin stopped the car and thought it was fun for Zhu Huaijing to tease her as an ordinary person, so she leaned over and asked him to kiss her, saying, "Okay, two ordinary people are going to eat." ”

The two of them ate something casually. Zhu Huaijing ate quickly, and looked at Yuqin after eating. Yuqin glanced at him with a smile and said, "What do you have to look good about when people eat!" ”

Zhu Huaijing said: "I appreciate your appearance." ”

Yuqin said: "What's so good about eating? Besides, I'm just an ordinary person! ”

Zhu Huaijing said: "No matter what posture you have, what kind of mood you have, I like to watch it." ”

Yuqin gave him another blank look, ignored him no more, and only buried her head in eating. Zhu Huaijing couldn't help laughing. Yuqin suddenly raised her head and asked, "What nerves do you have?" Am I looking ugly? I'm just a normal person! ”

After Yuqin finished eating, Zhu Huaijing said, "Ordinary people, let's go?" ”

Yuqin also said: "Go, ordinary people." ”

After driving the car, Yuqin asked again, "What were you laughing at just now?" ”

Zhu Huaijing smiled again and said, "You're eating, so it's not easy for me to talk about it." Seriously, I love watching you in any posture or modality. I just thought, even if it's your urinating position, I like to watch it! ”

Yuqin blushed, slapped him on the leg, and said angrily, "You are so bad! Okay, tomorrow I'll eat some soda, pull his stomach for a few days, let you serve me every day, so that you can see your fill! ”

Zhu Huaijing said: "I can't wait! ”

The two joked all the way, you call me an ordinary person, I call you an ordinary person, I think it's funny. Actually, it's not very humorous, but it's always fun for the two to be together today.

After a while, I arrived at the Academy of Fine Arts, and the car was parked under Li Mingxi's single building. The two went upstairs, knocked on the door, and Li Mingxi, who had messy hair, opened the door and came out. Seeing that it was Zhu Huaijing, he smiled. Yuqin looked at Zhu Huaijing, and it was hard to say anything. Zhu Huaijing understood that Yuqin was strange about Li Mingxi's smiling face, because his smile was almost terrifying. Zhu Huaijing said: "Yuqin, this is Mr. Li Mingxi, a famous painter I have told you many times. Mingxi, this is Yuqin, my friend. Yuqin said hello to Li Mingxi and stretched out her hand. Li Mingxi only nodded, without meaning to shake hands. Yuqin's face immediately turned red. Zhu Huaijing hurriedly smiled: "Yuqin, don't shake hands with him." His hands are dirty, don't defile your jade hands! He, in this life, has no consciousness of shaking hands with others at all. As soon as Zhu Huaijing joked like this, Yuqin was no longer embarrassed, and only smiled quietly. Li Mingxi looked at his hand and smiled.

Li Mingxi didn't ask anyone to sit, so Zhu Huaijing said: "Yuqin, you can find a slightly cleaner place to sit by yourself, he won't invite you to sit." He hadn't learned it yet. Yuqin looked left and right, but couldn't find a place to sit, so she said it didn't matter, and still stood beside Zhu Huaijing.

Li Mingxi said: "This time I went to Beijing, almost all the people I should have seen have seen. As he spoke, he took out some calligraphy and painted them, all of which were given to him by today's famous Chinese painters, and there were some words of praise or encouragement to Li Mingxi. Zhu Huaijing knew that these were treasures, and he couldn't help but sigh. After Zhu Huaijing admired it for a while, Li Mingxi took another painting and said, "This is a painting that Mr. Wu Juyi was very kind to invite me to collaborate on, and gave it to me again." ”

I heard that Wu Juyi, Zhu Huaijing sighed. Wu Juyi is the most famous name in today's Chinese painting world! His paintings are sky-high in the market, and they are still difficult to obtain. See Li Mingxi's unfolded painting entitled "Cold Forest Picture". The painting is of a cold forest with fallen leaves, and near the forest, some of the trees are straight like pagodas, some are curved like dragons, and some are reclining like drunks. Or three or five trees are clustered, or two or three trees are relative to idlers, or a lonely one stands against the forest, showing its pride. The vista is as clear as ink, reaching to the sky. Although the painting is a cold forest, it does not look gloomy or lonely. There is an inscription by Mr. Wu Juyi next to it: There are good trees in the cold forest, trees and bones, and the branches are cold and steep. The later born Ming Xijun has an outstanding painting style, a strange temperament, and a cute and simple appearance. The old man is curious, invite to entertain with the same work on this cold forest map! There are a few words of Li Mingxi on the side: Mr. Wu of Xuemo.

Zhu Huaijing gasped while watching, and said it was amazing. Li Mingxi was also a little proud, and said: "I happened to be happy to meet Mr. Wu, otherwise I am afraid that I won't be able to see his back." I was born stupid, no matter how much I play in this life, I can't compare with Mr. Wu! I don't want to, but I'm lucky enough to make a painting with him. ”

When Zhu Huaijing saw his attitude, he teased: "Mingxijun, looking at your proud appearance, it can be seen that Mr. Wu Juyi is mistaken about you." You say it modestly, but in fact you get carried away. The old gentleman thinks that you are a tree in this cold forest, and you are natural by nature, but in fact you are also a layman. ”

Yuqin didn't know that the two of them were always like this, you said me, I said yours, so she secretly pinched Zhu Huaijing. Zhu Huaijing said: "Don't worry, we have always talked like this." You don't know, he's a sleepwalker all day long, and I'm only awake if I talk about him. Otherwise, maybe one day he will be really ignorant. ”

When Zhu Huaijing said this, Yuqin blushed. Li Mingxi just laughed and didn't return Zhu Huaijing's mouth. The two talked about the exhibition next, and Zhu Huaijing seemed to be better than Li Mingxi, and said a set of planning opinions. Li Mingxi just nodded indifferently. Zhu Huaijing suddenly asked, "How is the painting you made for Secretary General Liu?" ”

Li Mingxi said that he had it done, so he took it. Unfold it and look at it, it is a landscape. Zhu Huaijing didn't look at the painting first, but vaguely felt that this painting was smaller than the one given to Liu Zhongxia, so he asked Li Mingxi. Li Mingxi was always confused, thought about it, and said, "The one that I gave Liu Zhongxia seems to be bigger." ”

Zhu Huaijing said: "The painting you sent to Liu Zhongxia is bigger than the painting you sent to Secretary-General Liu, this is not good." ”

When Li Mingxi heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he didn't know whether he was angry or surprised, and said, "I said that you are a layman, but you don't admit it!" I don't even know how high or low I can appreciate a painting, I just look at the size of the painting. ”

Zhu Huaijing smiled: "You are so right. I am a layman to appreciate painting, but you are a layman to deal with officialdom. How do ordinary people know how good your painting is? Just look at the size of the frame. Secretary-General Liu has obviously seen the painting you gave Liu Zhongxia, but seeing that the painting you gave him is still smaller, he must be uncomfortable. ”

Li Mingxi couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "The bigger the official, the bigger the painting will be, so go up in turn and send it to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, don't send ten pieces of rice paper?" When it was sent to the Jade Emperor, he had to use the canopy to paint. It's so funny, I'm never going to give paintings to officials again. ”

Zhu Huaijing said solemnly: "Don't worry about it in the future, let's send it this time first." It's not good to drag it on for too long, do you have a ready-made one, and if you have a ready-made one, just pick one at will. ”

Li Mingxi looked helpless and said, "No way, it's come to this point." My old works were all framed by Mr. Bu, and some of them have been framed, and I took them. Come, it's up to you. So he went to the corner cabinet and picked up a bunch of them. Zhu Huaijing didn't ask what to do, he only picked a few larger paintings, unfolded them and considered them for a while, and chose one, which was also a landscape. Li Mingxi took a pen and inscribed on it: Please Secretary General Liu Yazheng Yunyun. After putting down the question, Li Mingxi said with a smile: "Choose a painting and only recognize the big one, you are a dog eating cow, only a lot!" ”

Zhu Huaijing ignored him and only said, "Tomorrow at eight o'clock in the evening, you come to my office, and we will go and deliver this painting together." ”

Li Mingxi didn't want to go, and said, "You can go alone." ”

Zhu Huaijing said: "Don't look like this! Do you know that I'm doing something for you? If you don't go, people say that they will hold an art exhibition for you, but they don't even see your face, and they say that you have a big shelf! What qualifications do you have? You have to go. Also, if you get your hair cut tomorrow, I can pay for it. You can't go to the leader like this! ”

Li Mingxi smiled horribly and agreed with great embarrassment. Zhu Huaijing got up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he remembered something, and said: "The original painting was also given to him, anyway, you inscribed it to him." ”

Li Mingxi said: "Now the person surnamed Liu doesn't make money?" ”

Zhu Huaijing snorted and said, "Don't be stinky and beautiful, do you think your paintings are very valuable?" What do people earn? It's just a dirty piece of paper. ”

Zhu Huaijing and Yuqin came out and went downstairs, Li Mingxi only stood upstairs and smiled at them, and he didn't know how to move his hand. Yuqin said: "Your friend is really interesting, I really can't stand it if I don't adapt to him." Although he said that he did not understand the world, I think it must be safe to deal with such people. ”

Zhu Huaijing was very touched and said: "Yes, such a frank and lovely person is really rare now." ”
