Chapter 89: Playing with Death
"You're a real mother-in-law." Xia Sheng was a little helpless, and turned the brim of his hat in a different direction, "I don't have any change for you." β
"I've got you." Qin Ke said generously, "It should be regarded as a token of our love." It was like giving someone a diamond the size of a carat.
Xia Sheng was used to his crazy words, so he didn't pay much attention to it, touched the brim of his hat and smiled: "What a token of courtesy and affection." β
The two walked into the Thai restaurant together, and they were a little excited, thinking that they would see a whole row of flowery ladyboys standing in the lobby to greet them, but there was nothing, only a handsome waitress came over to take a seat.
Qin Ke was slightly disappointed, but he also looked at the waiter twice, Xia Sheng knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but smile.
The style of this restaurant is quite elegant, with a lot of green potted plants and strong wall paintings, which is full of exotic atmosphere.
The two sat by the window and ordered, and after the waiter left, Qin Ke couldn't help complaining: "Damn, what about the ladyboy waiter, the master was actually cheated." β
Xia Sheng was not interested in this, he didn't have any resentment, but felt that the environment here was quite comfortable and pleasant, so he smiled and said: "You are here to eat, as long as the food is delicious." β
Qin Ke took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, skillfully pulled out one and put it in his mouth, but as if he suddenly thought of something, he looked up at Xia Sheng.
Xia Sheng raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile without waiting for him to speak: "I'm not a lady, you don't have to ask me specifically, but it's okay if you insist on asking, I don't mind, you please." β
Qin Ke raised the corners of his lips, and there was a smile in his eyes: "I just want to say that I forgot to bring a lighter, do you have it on you." β
Xia Sheng also smiled, took out a delicate lighter from his trouser pocket, and pushed it over.
Qin Ke lit a cigarette, took a puff, raised his head and spit out several round smoke rings like bubbles, looked at Xia Sheng triumphantly and asked with a smile: "How is it, I have been practicing for a long time." β
"Yo, it's wonderful." Xia Sheng laughed, this kid is naΓ―ve enough.
Qin Ke was wearing a very ordinary T-shirt today, but the color was not ordinary, it was a big red that was difficult for boys to control, and a cool skull was printed on his chest, which made his lips red and his teeth white, and he was beaming. The lower body is paired with a pair of cropped jeans, there are no holes, that is, there are several strings of silver chains hanging on the pants, and when you move slightly, there is a string of subtle metal collision sounds.
It feels like a bad student who doesn't know which school to skip class from and run out of the wilderness.
Qin Ke knocked the ash into the ashtray, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Xia Sheng with a smile and said, "Little monk, let's make it clear before serving the food, otherwise I won't dare to move the chopsticks in a minute." You invited me to dinner for no reason, it wasn't for the sake of connection, I guess, it had something to do with the five million? β
Xia Sheng was a little surprised, he thought that this kid had no heart and no lungs, and he didn't have any brains, but now it seems that this is not the case.
It's better that he's looking for a partner of equal ability, not a puppet doll.
Xia Sheng pondered the words for a while, and then spoke slowly: "Five million is not a small amount, I can't say that I can borrow it, and I don't ask for any benefits." β
Qin Ke nodded, he just liked Xia Sheng to be so straightforward, there is one to say, there is two to say, spread out everything and say everything, list the pros and cons of gains and losses, and if you don't agree, you will disperse, and don't play scheming.
"Brother doesn't want to take advantage of you in vain, you can tell me about your conditions." Qin Ke is also a straightforward person who doesn't like to beat around the bush.
Xia Sheng put his left foot on his right leg, leaned forward slightly, looked at Qin Ke, and slightly hooked the corners of his lips: "Then I'll just say it, are you interested in cooperating with me?" β
Qin Ke had actually vaguely guessed Xia Sheng's purpose, and now that he heard him say this, it was really similar to what he expected, and he smiled at the moment: "I am really flattered that such a big company as the Xia family wants to cooperate with me, an unknown little studio." "I'm afraid that it's not cooperation, it's annexation.
Xia Sheng knew that he must have misunderstood, the news that the eldest son of the Xia family was an adopted son was not new, but few people knew that his name as president was hanging, everyone was just thinking and guessing in secret, and he still had to buy his account on the surface, and politely called him Mr. Xia.
Just as Xia Sheng checked the information of the jackfruit and dried fruit studio, Qin Ke must have also touched the bottom of the Xia family, but unfortunately Qin Ke touched the wrong direction this time.
"It's not about cooperating with Xia, it's cooperating with me." The sunlight fell on the floor-to-ceiling glass, and through a layer of white curtains, only a thin warm light penetrated into Xia Sheng's handsome face, making the smile on his lips even more warm.
"What's the difference?" Qin Ke's gaze swept around the other party's face, and finally landed on the corner of his slightly upturned lips, paused for a few seconds, and then quickly staggered away, looking away.
Xia Sheng frowned suspiciously: "You are such a smart person, how can you not think of the difference between the two?" "Young Master Xia, who has left the Xia family, is just an ordinary person without a backer, so there is no concern about big fish eating small fish.
Qin Ke was not unexpected, but distracted.
Gathering his mind at the moment, he thought carefully about Xia Sheng's proposal, and fell into deep thought.
Interlaced like a mountain, the eldest young master has never been in contact with the fashion design industry, I'm afraid I don't have any concept of this. Once the cooperation, it must be his side to contribute money, his own side to contribute, on the surface, complement each other, mutual benefit, but I am worried that the layman who has the right to speak will command indiscriminately, stubbornly for his own use, and finally lead to the breakdown of the cooperative relationship between them.
Qin Ke glanced at Xia Sheng, if the object was him, it should not come to such a bad situation, but there was indeed a certain risk in cooperating with a layman.
"Little monk, you may just want to spend money to play, but I bet on honor and future. Jackfruit Dried Fruit Studio is my life, you know? Qin Ke rarely put away his hippie smile and showed a serious and sincere expression.
"I understand." Xia Sheng finally saw his sincerity, smiled, and knew that he had really found the right person, "I'm not spending money to play, I'm also playing with my life." β
Qin Ke looked over in surprise, his eyes met, and he was immediately burned by the other party's eyes.
The eyes of the noble prince are full of firmness and determination to let go and fight, and behind the lazy and warm smile, there is a lot of gearing and ambition.
When Qin Ke was in college, he began to participate in various fashion design competitions, won large and small awards, and even appeared on the cover of a well-known magazine.
He doesn't have to overcome obstacles, the road to success has been paved under his feet, and many people around him envy, jealousy and hatred him.
Young people are ambitious, they always don't know how to converge, they don't know how to leave a line in everything, and they will see each other in the future.
In the end, I offended people who shouldn't be offended, and I was banned in various ways in the industry, and I couldn't get mixed up anymore.
He didn't return home, but he was forced to flee back with his tail between his legs.
Like a lost dog.
Relatives and friends don't know the inside story, but they still continue to regard him as the promising young man with a bright future.
So, he was determined to make a comeback, fight his way out in the domestic fashion industry, break new ground, and become the king of the fashion circle.
But he has no foundation in China, and there is a certain gap between domestic and overseas aesthetics. Jackfruit & Dried Fruit Studios used to take over hundreds of thousands of dollars in business, but here they can only take on a little chores such as print advertisements and small promotional activities.
The studio buddies are starting to get disappointed.
Negative emotions like the flu can be contagious, and they all get sick together.
Qin Ke didn't know why his studio was favored by Xia Sheng, maybe the noble son didn't find out his unbearable past abroad, and mistakenly thought that he was infinitely beautiful.
Xia Sheng looked at him and asked word by word: "You think about it, think about it seriously, do you want to play, or don't you play?" β
There were two clusters of green flames burning under the eyes of the noble prince, and his smile was calm and calm.
Qin Ke's heart was burned by those two clusters of ice and fire.
Then, the thought of a moth to the fire arose, wanting to burn in his eyes.
"Play, why don't you play?" He laughed, stared at him, and said slowly, "Your and my lives will be in one place from now on." β
β¦β¦
In the afternoon, Xia Sheng drove to Jinzhou.
It's a little over an hour away, and when we arrive at our destination, it's just in time for teatime.
At the entrance of Cuiwei Villa, there was a young man with a straight waist standing in his hands, a black T-shirt and camouflage pants, wild and fierce.
Xia Sheng's car stopped beside him, rolled down the window, took off his sunglasses, and smiled: "Brother Long greeted me personally, I was so flattered." β
A trace of surprise appeared on the young man's resolute and cold face, staring at Xia Sheng's head and asking, "What?" There are so many wild bees and butterflies that you want to self-destruct your image to avoid it? β
"Yes, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, I have been enlightened and escaped into the empty door." Xia Sheng waited for him to get into the passenger seat before slowly driving the car into the manor.
Long Ye sneered and complained unceremoniously: "You, even if you escape into the empty door, you are still a prostitute monk." β
Xia Sheng: "......"
The car drove all the way to the door of the villa, and the housekeeper greeted him and bowed slightly: "Sheng Shao, I haven't seen you for a long time, the old man is waiting on the terrace on the second floor." β
The terrace on the second floor is a half-moon shape that extends out, and a personal artificial pool is built, and a pond of red lotus is planted, and the lotus leaves are He Tiantian, and the koi fish swimming around at the bottom.
Xia Sheng walked a few steps quickly, with a joyful smile on his face, and said loudly: "Handsome old man, I'm here to play chess with you again." β
A shed was built on the terrace, covered with purple cartilos, and it was not yet flowering season, and the eyes were full of greenery.
A white fat old man sat on a rattan chair, looking happy, with a pot of fragrant tea, a few plates of delicate melon and fruit desserts, and a chessboard on the small coffee table in front of him.
"Handsome boy, why don't you come over quickly...... Yo," the old man finally saw Xia Sheng's new image clearly, and after being stunned, he laughed, "Your hairstyle is really good enough to cool off." Come on, come on, sit down and accompany me in the next round. β
Xia Sheng smiled and sat down opposite the old man.
Long Ye leaned over and poured a cup of tea for the old man and Xia Sheng, and then retreated behind the old man, standing in a heroic posture, like a javelin.
A game of chess, played until sunset and dusk, is evenly divided, and it is almost a draw.
"If you don't have anything to do, go to the Three Treasures Palace, let's say, what trouble did you cause this time?"
