Chapter 55: Small Talk

"Hurry up and eat, it's going to be cold!" Qi Shang saw Shen Mengxi the first time he stepped into the restaurant, he got up and walked over and pulled a chair for Shen Mengxi.

"Thank you! Sorry to keep you waiting! Shen Mengxi politely thanked Qi Shang.

"Nothing! I took advantage of this time to take care of some work matters as well! Qi Shang walked around the table and sat down opposite Shen Mengxi.

Four dishes and one soup have been set up on the table, all of which are Shen Mengxi's favorite Sichuan flavors. Shen Mengxi's stomach rang out inappropriately, and she looked down at the dishes in front of her embarrassedly.

Qi Shang held back a smile and said, "Eat quickly, I'm about to go hungry!" As he spoke, he took the lead in picking up the dishes and chopsticks.

Shen Mengxi pretended to smile calmly and nodded, and then moved his index finger and started eating!

The food is silent, Qi Shang and Shen Mengxi are very quiet during the whole dining process, and the table manners of the two of them are also very standardized. After eating and drinking, the two moved to the living room, and Qi Shang still made tea for the two of them.

"How long will it take us to get to Australia?" Shen Mengxi asked.

"If nothing else, it should be there in five days, but if you want to return to China for the Spring Festival, I'm afraid it's too late!"

Yes, if I remember correctly, tomorrow should be Chinese New Year's Eve, and it seems that she will spend the Spring Festival on this vast Pacific Ocean. Shen Mengxi hung her head regretfully, as a Chinese, she had a strong homesickness complex in her bones, and she felt very sad that she couldn't go home during the Spring Festival.

Shen Mengxi's silence was seen by Qi Shang, he felt distressed for Shen Mengxi's sadness, and he also felt a little lonely for her coldness.

"Try this, the authentic big red robe, I got two taels at the auction in Hong Kong this year, and there is not much left!" Qi Shang said as he sent the teacup to Shen Mengxi.

Shen Mengxi took a deep breath, showed a smile at Qi Shang, then picked up the teacup and put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it, a strong tea fragrance entered her nose, instantly flowing through her limbs, making her feel a lot more relaxed and soothed.

"Good tea!" Shen Mengxi couldn't help but praise, "I've always heard people say how good the big red robe is, and I haven't had a chance to experience it in person, but this time I have entrusted you with the authentic big red robe, and it really deserves its reputation!" These two or two red robes must have cost you a lot of money, right? ”

"Scarcity is expensive! Just such a tea tree, there is not much tea that can be picked every year, and even less after it is fried! But it's worth the money to get a thumbs up from you! ”

Shen Mengxi smiled uncomfortably, and changed the topic: "I'm really sorry to delay you for so long this time, I don't know if it will affect your work?" ”

"It's okay! My work is completely under my personal control, most of the time I just communicate with my subordinates, and now that technology is so advanced, I don't need to be a trapeze artist all day, and it's the same at home! It's just that I want to have better control of my own industry, and the people below will be deceived, and I will patrol everywhere if necessary! Qi Shang said while sipping tea.

"Huh! It seems that we are all the type of people who have nothing to do! I could have honestly become a Chinese teacher or writer or something, but I wanted to find excitement and chose the hard, tiring and dangerous job of war correspondent! Alas! Shen Mengxi spread out his hands and shook his head.

"People have dreams and pursuits, and my previous dream was to expand the foundation left by my ancestors, and ...... in the future" Qi Shang looked at Shen Mengxi meaningfully.

Shen Mengxi yawned at the right time, "I'm sorry, maybe I was tired a few days ago, and I always felt like I couldn't wake up!" ”

Qi Shang retracted his gaze and was silent for a moment before saying, "If you are tired, go back to your room to rest!" ”

"Oh well! I'm gone! Shen Mengxi got up and was about to leave.

"Shen Mengxi!" Qi Shang's deep and magnetic voice sounded behind Shen Mengxi, "Do you think escaping can solve the problem?" ”
