Chapter 185: Seven years in the blink of an eye
"Let's try this meat floss dessert, it tastes great!" As he watched the waiter put two plates of fluffy food for unknown food in front of the two of them. Ji Furui glanced at Qin Yangdao on the opposite side with a slightly surprised expression on his face.
Qin Yang used a fork to rip off a small piece of meat floss cake and put it in his mouth! Sure enough, the flavor is unique, and in addition to the aroma of the meat floss, there is also a hint of tenderness and sweetness emanating from the cake! It doesn't have the greasy feeling of being too rich or creamy like the cake you usually eat.
During the meal between the two, there were several times when Qin Yang wanted to take the initiative to ask Ji Furui about the questions he had asked in a text message during the day, but when he saw Ji Furui, who was sitting opposite, was full of enjoyment and relaxation, he quietly swallowed his words back.
"Why, I'm ready to make up for English so early!" When Qin Yang lowered his head to drink his drink, he suddenly heard Ji Furui on the other side ask!
Qin Yang raised his head suddenly, but he was choked on the drink and coughed violently. Gifrey hurriedly handed her a tissue. At this moment, Qin Yang realized that she couldn't even say thank you, she took the tissue handed over by Ji Furui, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the bathroom.
Standing in front of the mirror of the bathroom sink, Qin Yang saw himself with an embarrassed face! I washed my face in front of the sink, washed the placket of the dress stained with the drink juice until the marks were almost invisible, and then blew the placket of the dress dry with the help of a hand dryer before walking slowly to the table.
"You're okay, I'll wait until the flowers are grateful!" Seeing Qin Yang return to the table, Ji Furui beckoned and smiled.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Cao!" Qin Yang politely apologized.
"I'm kidding you, it's such a serious book!" Gifry smiled, two rows of neat teeth on his handsome face.
"By the way, you sent a message during the day saying that you want to ask me a question, what is that question?" Suddenly, Gifrey seemed to remember something.
"I would like to ask Mr. Cao, is there any way to learn spoken English that can help people master it faster?" Originally, he had thought about the question N times, but when he was suddenly brought up by Ji Furui, Qin Yang felt that he didn't know how to organize his language for a while.
"Oh? Are you laying the groundwork for the group's U.S. branch after the National Day in October? ”
"Yes, otherwise I won't be able to communicate with my colleagues normally when I go there, which will bring a lot of inconvenience to everyone!"
"Miss Qin, you see that you have always been so modest, why didn't you cause inconvenience to yourself?" Gifrey asked rhetorically.
"Actually, there are reasons for this! So, I want to learn spoken English a little better now! ”
"I remember that there is an idiom in China called pulling out the seedlings to help them grow, and I don't recommend rushing in the learning of the language. To learn a language well, you still need an interoperable language environment! Now in China, in the environment where everyone speaks Chinese, you can basically only rely on rote memorization! Because, no one communicates with you in a foreign language. ”
"But as far as I know, Mr. Cao, you not only speak English well, but also Chinese very fluently!" Qin Yang's eyes showed a look of envy.
"That's because, when I'm in the UK and the US, my colleagues and I communicate in English during the day! At home, my father and mother and I communicate in Chinese! It's just that my father and mother occasionally use Sichuan to communicate nostalgically. But I don't like Sichuan dialect very much, and only occasionally one or two sentences. As he spoke, Ji Furui actually repeated what he had just said in Sichuan dialect in five tones.
Qin Yang was amused by his move!
"Mr. Cao, you are such an interesting person! So according to Mr. Cao's suggestion, what should I prepare for these two months? Qin Yangshu continued to ask tentatively.
"According to my suggestion, you can use the only time you have in these two months to enjoy the scenery around the city! At the same time, you can also taste all kinds of food in the streets and alleys of the city. Chengdu is not only a leisure city, but also a food capital! Since you are stationed in this city now and don't enjoy it, how can you be worthy of yourself? ”
"Chengdu is indeed as beautiful as Mr. Cao said! I'm afraid I can't, though! "Qin Yang is coloring!
"Why?" Hearing Qin Yang say this, Ji Furui also restrained his joyful expression.
"Because, I'm stationed here, and I have a lot of things to deal with!"
"Hey, you don't have to be so busy, if you can solve the problem on the phone, you don't have to be in person! If you can express the signed contract, you don't need to have it stamped in person! If it's not about burning your eyebrows, give yourself permission to finish the wine in your glass or the food on your plate! ”
"But ......"
"Miss Qin, otherwise, what is the point of our busyness and work? If a person's whole life is just working for the sake of working, it is just a mechanical activity! Then, the person's life will be meaningless. Before Qin Yang could finish speaking, Ji Furui interrupted her.
What is the meaning of life? Qin Yang remembered that on this topic, he had discussed it with his sister Qin Yue on the phone not long ago! She and her sister both feel that the meaning of all working and studying is to strive to earn more money and make their families happier!
When Qin Yang was alone. She often wonders, what is happiness?
However, she knew that the happiest time in the family was when her father fell ill and died. During that time, all she had on her mind was hoping that her father's illness would get better as soon as possible! Even when she saw her father's deteriorating health and knew that it was almost impossible for a miracle to happen, she still hoped that a miracle would happen and that his father would be as healthy as he had been.
In the blink of an eye, more than seven years have passed! The family's financial situation is getting better little by little! Qin Yang still feels that in addition to the economic pressure is not so great, the happiness of the family is still far away! Especially when she and her sister are away from home all year round, it is difficult for her mother to see each other!
Qin Yang remembered that his mother had said on the phone more than once that the so-called happiness was just barely enough money for the family, and it was enough to stay together peacefully!
"Mr. Cao, you have a very reasonable point!" Qin Yang picked up the goblet in front of him and saluted Ji Furui.
"Where, I hope you can be happy and not too tired!"
"Thank you, Mr. Cao!"
"I'm flying to Guiyang tomorrow morning at half past seven, can you help me wake me up at five :40 in the morning? Although, I know the hotel has a wake-up call! ”
"Okay, no problem, Mr. Cao!" Qin Yang hesitated for a second and replied!
"Does Mr. Cao live in Chengdu and Guiyang now?" Qin Yang then asked.
"And Beijing! I have to fly to Beijing every Wednesday! ”
"Isn't it too busy to fly to Beijing? Why not bring your secretary or assistant? ”
"I don't have a secretary or an assistant, and every Wednesday I have to go to the China International Fashion Campus Design Competition of Capital University of Science and Technology as a judge!"
As soon as he heard Ji Furui's explanation, Qin Yang suddenly felt embarrassed to say the wrong thing! But as soon as he heard the words of the Capital University of Science and Technology International Fashion Design Competition from Ji Furui's mouth, Qin Yang's heart became excited.
It turned out that the girl who looked very similar to himself in Ji Furui's mouth must be his sister Qin Yue! He vaguely remembered that many years ago in Guancheng, Hao Lili, who was still the head of the sales department, had mistakenly recognized his sister Qin Yue as Qin Yang.
However, Qin Yang did not mention it.
"No wonder you're always so busy!" Qin Yang added without words!
As soon as he returned to the hotel room, Qin Yang turned on several alarm clocks on his mobile phone, the earliest was a quarter past five, and then an alarm clock every three to five minutes!
This guy must be malicious, he only needs to spend fifteen yuan more to provide a wake-up service at the hotel front desk, he prefers to let himself help, this is simply malicious!
While setting the alarm on his mobile phone, Qin Yang kept thinking about this problem.
However, I blame myself for agreeing to him too quickly! I have every reason to refuse him! For example, I don't like to wake up so early, or I have a special time in the past two days and need enough rest, etc.! Or, to put it bluntly: I don't want to, isn't it okay for you to ask the waiter to help yourself!
Qin Yang didn't understand why he just took over this chore! A Western meal actually betrayed his good dreams in the morning, it was really not worth it. Qin Yang regretted it to death in his heart, blaming himself for being too good to deserve it!
In order to allow himself to wake up before 5:40 in the morning, this night, Qin Yang also climbed into bed early.
"Dad, are you coming to HKUST today to attend the fashion design competition?" Early on Wednesday morning, Wei Qinghua called his father, Wei Tianhai, to ask.
"Yes, son! You can't go through the formalities to study at the University of London! You can report directly when the school starts in September! Wei Tianhai said happily to his son on the other side.
"Really, thank you Dad, but what I want to talk about is the question of the costume design competition!"
"Son, you're a business student, why do you care about the design competition? You're not competing! ”
"Dad, I want to ask you to vote for the No. 17 player Qin Yue on the field today." Wei Qinghua said earnestly.
"Son, you can't let your father be blind, besides, today's players are very good!" Wei Tianhai is colorful!
"I know Dad, even if my son begs you once, the strength of the No. 17 player is quite good, isn't it?" Wei Qinghua continued!
Each round of the game is broadcast live by the capital's local satellite TV. There will also be subsequent playbacks, recordings, etc. Therefore, the strength of each contestant, as well as the judges' scores, etc., are clear at a glance as long as the audience watches them! Wei Qinghua, it was only when he accidentally saw the live broadcast of the TV station that he confirmed that Qin Yue was the real participant! .
"Your mother used to attend, but this is the first time I've come! So, I don't know the strength of the No. 17 player you mentioned! So, son, don't embarrass your dad just yet! ”
"Dad, my son will only beg you one last time, okay?" Wei Qinghua continued to plead. Then, the bell rang for class.
"Son, is she the girl you like?" As soon as Wei Tianhai's words came out, he found that there was a busy sound on the phone, and the son on the other side had already hung up the phone.
Wei Tianhai raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was half past half in the morning.
