22. Sky-high red wine
After Xia Qing started to work these days, she didn't seem to be in a very good mood, and I didn't ask much when she didn't speak.
For the goddess Xia Qing, I actually don't think too much, compared to Xia Qing, who is a bit of a domineering president, I faintly feel in my heart that maybe Feng Yasong is more suitable for living.
In fact, since I was a child, I didn't have any lofty ideals, it was enough to find a stable job, have a gentle and beautiful girlfriend, and have a small home in the big city of Longcheng.
However, since I got the bracelet, I have found that my thoughts and plans have changed somewhat in addition to my body.
"Where are we going?" I asked after I got in the car in the summer.
"Know where to eat?" Xia Qing asked.
I've never been a foodie, and I used to eat at very few restaurants on a tight 9-to-5 day.
When I was thinking about it, Xia Qing spoke: "Yes, let's go to a private restaurant opened by my friend." β
Xia Qing said the address, closed her eyes, and stopped talking.
While driving the car, I secretly looked at Xia Qing, who was sitting in the passenger seat and closed his eyes. Xia Qing is the kind of woman who will never get tired of looking at it no matter how many times you look at it, especially those two long legs wearing black silk, which are enough to like people YY for a long time.
"Concentrate on driving!" Xia Qing seemed to feel the burning gaze that fell on her face.
"Oh." I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and replied awkwardly.
"You seem to enjoy working part-time, don't you?" Xia Qing opened her eyes and stared at me.
I didn't know how to answer, so I just nodded and mumbled.
Since I was hired by her as her boyfriend, we haven't talked much between us, except for the occasional few jokes.
She's right, I do enjoy driving Xia Qing, accompanying her to and from work, and pretending to be her boyfriend.
To be honest, this job is also very easy, Xia Qing has been away from Dragon City for nearly ten years, and there are not many friends and deceased people, and there doesn't seem to be much entertainment in the position of Mingyuan Group.
"Don't you have any plans?" Xia Qing asked as if she had suddenly become interested in me.
"Uh~~ I'm waiting for you to pay me a salary, and then I'll treat you to a big meal." I said with a smile.
"You don't seem to be short of money? Don't you say you don't have any savings? "Summer sunshine.
"If I say I won five million, would you believe me?" I said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
"Cut!" Xia Qingjiao laughed and said, "Seriously, you really don't have a plan for yourself?" β
"Yes." I honestly replied, "What do you think of MOTI stock?" β
βMOTIοΌβ Xia Qing was confused by my answer, staring again and again, but seeing that I didn't feel like I was joking.
I gave her a brief introduction to MOTI and asked her to determine if the stock was risky if it was to get in. Also, if you want to do U.S. stocks, what should you do?
Xia Qing listened carefully to what I said, her eyes were a little brighter, and then she picked up the phone and chatted with the person on the other end of the phone in English for a few minutes.
Seeing that I was blindsided, Xia Qing explained that she asked a friend from the United States Investment Bank to help analyze the company, and said: "Speculation is luck, investment is science, understand?" β
I nodded half-understandingly, you are beautiful, you have the final say.
Seeing that I was still blindfolded, Xia Qing said: "Don't worry, if the analysis results come out, I will give you a copy." And the IP investment you just mentioned is quite interesting, I suggest you can take a serious look at it. β
I let out an "oh" and continued to look confused, people just wanted to ask how to invest in U.S. stocks, and how to talk about cultural industry investment all of a sudden.
Xia Qing didn't seem to notice my expression, and made several phone calls one after another, all in English, and I couldn't understand a word.
Soon, we arrived at the private restaurant that Xia Qing said, but I was embarrassed after entering the door. Coincidentally, Wu Zihao and Lin Manxi were bumped into at the door.
"Miss Xia! It's really you! It's so rare! Wu Zihao saw Xia Qing and me coming in front and back, and shouted repeatedly, as if he didn't notice me standing next to Xia Qing.
It was also during this time that in order to cooperate with Xia Qing to attend various tall occasions, I was still dragged by her to buy a few sets of very high-end clothes, and during this time, my body became stronger because of the blessing of the bracelet, and I insisted on exercising every day and even had six-pack abs.
"Who is this......?" Wu Zihao said hello to Xia Qing and stared at me in sunglasses standing next to her with a smile on his face.
"This is my boyfriend, Gao Chao." Xia Qing said lightly, she didn't seem to be interested in the Wu Zihao in front of her.
"The nobles are forgetful, Brother Hao will forget me?" I smiled and took off my glasses and stared at the oily-haired man in front of me.
"How are you!" Wu Zihao's face was clouded, and his eyes widened, as if he didn't believe everything he saw.
Lin Manxi, who was standing next to her, also looked at me with a stunned face, and then looked at Xia Qing, who had an elegant temperament, she must have been thinking about how I could find a goddess-level boyfriend like Xia Qing with such a fishing line.
This is not scientific!
But this is the truth, even if I am just Xia Qing's fake boyfriend, but at this moment I still feel a bad breath in my heart!
Looking at Lin Manxi and Wu Zihao's expressions of confusion and surprise, I couldn't have forgotten how happy it was! Don't you Wu Zihao like beautiful women? Compared with the noble and elegant summer, Lin Manxi is like an ugly duckling with a vulgar fat powder.
And after a few days, Lin Manxi's face has actually changed, his double eyelids have widened, and his nose and chin seem to be more upright, is it because he went to Smecta Country?
Doesn't Lin Manxi like to post the rich and handsome upside down? But in Dragon City, even a rich man like Zhao Zihao is a drop in the bucket compared to the Xia Qing family's industry.
"You know?" Xia Qing asked, looking at the expressions between me and the two.
"Don't know!" I gritted my teeth hatefully and said, even Xia Qing could see that my face was wrong.
This private dining space is not large, although it is not very cramped, but it only looks like there are three or four tables. It seems that this was originally a place for friends to meet in private, and there was not even a signboard.
After Xia Qing and I sat down, a beautiful young woman came over to greet her, and Xia Qing seemed to be very familiar with each other.
Listening to Xia Qing chatting with each other, the young woman's surname is Zeng, and Xia Qing calls her Sister Zeng.
Sister Zeng looks like that kind of lady with a graceful temperament, and this private dish must just be her idle hobby.
After a brief chat, Xia Qing sat down in front of the window very casually, teasing a folded cat nesting on the sofa and sleeping lazily, looking up at me from time to time, and then smiling slightly.
Wu Zihao and Lin Manxi, who were sitting next to us, seemed to have very unnatural expressions, and after seeing the two of them bow their heads and whisper a few words, Wu Zihao took a glass of red wine and walked forward with a malicious smile.
"You kid haven't seen you for a few days, you jumped fast enough, and you got on the high branch so quickly?" After Wu Zihao finished speaking, he sat on Xia Qing's side, wanting to be close to Xia Qing, but Xia Qing didn't seem to bother to pay attention to him.
I didn't speak, I just wanted to sit and wait for the food to be served, finish it quickly, and then leave.
I don't like this awkward atmosphere, especially with my ex-girlfriend Lin Manxi and this arrogant-looking Wu Zihao.
"Poor ghosts, most of them are eating soft rice with them, right?" Wu Zihao saw that Xia Qing ignored him, so he immediately walked back and pretended to say loudly to Lin Manxi.
"Hehe, who did you say ate soft rice?" I finally couldn't hold back the anger in my heart, and stood up with a bang on the table and said loudly.
"Roar~~ This is angry? Don't you eat soft rice? Pay today! Do you know what this place is? Any idea how much a meal costs? Wu Zihao insinuated that he knew that I had just resigned, and he probably also learned from Lin Manxi that my economic situation was not good.
"Wu Zihao, what do you mean?" Xia Qing finally couldn't help it, put down the short-eared cat in her arms, stared at Wu Zihao and said.
"Tianqing, this kid is a poor fishing wire! What are you playing with him? I can't afford to eat a single meal! If you want a boyfriend, my brother will introduce you! Wu Zihao stared at Xia Qing with a smile, his face full of obscenity.
"Thank you, this girl is willing!" Xia Qing said lightly, but her mood was obviously affected.
"Tianqing, I'll invite you today!" I said.
"Shout~~ The weather is fine, people want to have a treat, but they have to eat something good. Sister Zeng~~ Come to two bottles of your best red wine here, there are local tyrants and treats today! Wu Zihao said loudly.
Xia Qing still looked at Wu Zihao who was performing there with an indifferent expression, while Lin Manxi stared at Xia Qing, with a faint schadenfreude on her face.
"Wu Gongzi is so generous today? OKAY, WE'VE GOT A 67-YEAR-OLD LAFFIE HERE, AND I OPENED IT FOR YOU? Sister Zeng walked over with a smile.
"Open! It must be opened! After Wu Zihao finished speaking, he looked at our table like a demonstration.
I looked at Xia Qing, she nodded and said, "It's good, Sister Zeng's wine here is really good, I'm sorry to trouble Sister Zeng." β
After a while, Sister Zeng came over with two bottles of wine and showed them to Wu Zihao and our table, only to see that the labels of these two bottles of wine were a little wrinkled, and the bottles were covered with a layer of hoarfrost, which looked very old.
I DON'T REALLY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WINE, BUT I'VE HEARD THAT THIS LAFFIE IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE OF ALL RED WINES.
Soon, the meal was also served, Australian boned veal steak, five ripe, the taste was really good.
Xia Qing and I chatted while eating, and didn't pay attention to Wu Zihao, who had been staring at us next to him.
Soon, I was full of wine and food, and although I didn't understand red wine, I could still feel the good taste of the wine.
"Sister Zeng, pay the bill!" Xia Qing shouted, about to take out her wallet.
"Say yes, I'll invite you." I hurriedly stopped it, then pulled the card out of my bag and handed it over.
Wu Zihao looked at us with a smug face, and he concluded that because of me, a newly unemployed person, I couldn't afford this meal.
"A total of 99,999 yuan was consumed!" Sister Zeng said with a smile.
"Okay." I nodded, handed the card to Sister Zeng, my heart was still a little painful, a bottle of wine and two steaks, it would be a sky-high price!
Wu Zihao's expected humiliating scene did not appear, he and Lin Manxi stared at our table in a little surprise, saw Sister Zeng swipe the card, saw us get up, and then left.
Xia Qing looked at me in some surprise, but before Wu Zihao's mouth could be closed, I pulled Xia Qing out.
Eating and drinking well is the most important thing, and you can't talk to this kind of person!
After taking Xia Qing out of the house, I felt for the first time: It's so good to be rich!
I ate 100,000 yuan in one meal! I'm drunk too!
Called a substitute driver, Xia Qing didn't talk much along the way, I was a little dazed when I drank, so I was silent.
After arriving home, making tea and sitting down, Xia Qing came out with a sentence: "Do you know that you were a tyrant just now!" β
"Huh?!" I was stunned by the sudden arrival of the summer sunshine.
"I like it, though! I can't see that you're still an invisible tyrant! Tell me how the money came from? β
"Isn't that a? Earnings report? I looked half-jokingly and half-seriously at Xia Qing, who was reclining on the sofa.
After drinking, the summer sunny face is like a peach blossom, and it looks beautiful and beautiful. The summer sunshine at this moment makes people feel the urge to push it down.
"Have you forgotten the agreement we signed?" Xia Qing looked at me with a smile and said.
"Agreements?! Is this part of the agreement? I said.
"Article 3: During the cooperation, all actions are under the command, and where the master points out, you fight...... "Summer Qing has a good memory.
"Would you believe me if I said I bought a lottery ticket and won the jackpot?" I wondered if I should tell her the secret of the bracelet, and if I did, would she think I was crazy?
Who would believe in such a thing?
"Faith!" Xia Qing said, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows still smiling.
"I really won the jackpot, but not 5 million, only 4 million! But I invited you to dinner, and the money was 100,000 less. In other words, will you reimburse you for the money you just treated? I said.
"Reimbursement? You pretend to be a tyrant, why should I reimburse you? Xia Qing said with a smile, but I was just joking with her.
100,000 yuan was a huge amount of money for me in the past, but now although it hurts a little, I think I still have a lot of savings, so I am calm.
Yes, there were princes of the beacon fire show in ancient times, and now there are thousands of gold to buy a smile.
These days, Xia Qing doesn't seem to be very happy, presumably it is the things at home and the company that annoy her.
The two of us seem to have a little tacit understanding, and if she doesn't say it, I won't ask. I don't say it, and she doesn't care too much.
But even though she didn't ask me or say anything, I felt that Xia Qing seemed to know more about me than I knew about her.
Feng Yasong has been living in the school for the past few days and has not returned, it seems that he is trying to avoid suspicion.
We talked for a while, Xia Qing said that she was sleepy, and then got up to go to wash, I wanted to say if I wanted to go together, but the words stopped when I came to my mouth.
Facing the goddess, I always felt a little apprehensive in my heart, and Feng Yasong gave me a different feeling, I felt that there was always a little distance between myself and Xia Qing.
Xia Qing has an innate aura, the aura of a rich lady born in the upper class.
Is there any other way to bridge this sense of distance between me and her than to work hard?
I drank a little too much, and when I was thinking about it, I heard Xia Qing calling my name upstairs, and I was very urgent.
It's been quiet these days, what's going on here?
I rushed to the bathroom, knocked on the door, and asked through the frosted glass door, "What's wrong with you?" β
From the other side of the glass door came Xia Qing's low moan, "Ah, it hurts! Gao Chao, you help me take off my clothes! β
