4 Chapter 4
The blind date arrangement was quickly finalized.
The time is on Saturday, and the venue is at the famous Diaoyutai Hotel in Beijing.
The main building of the hotel is a cultural relics protection unit, in the center of the city, but there is a courtyard landscape comparable to a park, coupled with strict security measures, it is the first choice for the rich in Beijing to have a banquet and gathering.
Chi Qingtai has been here a few times before for socializing, and he is quite familiar with it. It's just that he doesn't have a car license, so he can only let the driver wait outside the door and walk in alone.
First use a text message to pass through the heavily secured gate, then through the security check through the small gate, and finally enter the inside of the fishing platform.
The courtyard is exquisite, and there is not a single figure.
Chi Qingtai crossed a stone bridge, walked around the lake for more than ten minutes, and finally arrived at the agreed box.
It was already the appointed time, but Xie Shuyan hadn't come yet, and there was only an old housekeeper in the private room, who greeted him with an apologetic face.
Chi Qingtai was not surprised, if the person on the plane was really Xie Shuyan, with his rejection of the blind date, it is estimated that he would release his pigeon directly.
So he brought a computer and worked while waiting.
By the time the pool cleared all the work, it was already two hours later.
The sky outside the window is getting dark, and there is a faint tendency to rain, Chi Qingtai looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, and thought calmly, it seems that this blind date is not a success.
In the evening, he also made an appointment with a client, and he couldn't wait. Chi Qingtai put the computer into his handbag, and suddenly came across a hard box, which was the pen that the guest on the plane entrusted him to hand.
Chi Qingtai got up to leave, and the housekeeper insisted on sending him to the hotel gate, but Chi Qingtai politely refused, just asking the other party to borrow him an umbrella. It's gloomy today, and it's probably going to rain.
Sure enough, as soon as he walked out of the box, there was a sudden "boom" above his head.
The rain was falling.
*
At the same time, the main entrance of the fishing platform.
The silver lifting pillar slowly descended, and a red supercar broke through the rain curtain and drove into a secluded Chinese courtyard.
"Brother, I heard that the family found you a man on a blind date this time?" Xie Yan sat in the co-pilot, with a gossip expression on his face.
"I don't know, I'm not involved." Xie Shulazy turned the steering wheel and slowed down after entering the internal road.
The supercar has excellent performance, even at speeds below 20 mph, it does not give people a sense of blockage.
"Brother," Xie Yan couldn't help but say, "I'm going to participate in a racing race on the weekend, can you lend me this car to drive?" ”
Xie Shuyun: "Like it? Send you. ”
He still has more than a dozen of these supercars in his garage, and it doesn't matter how many they send out.
"Holy? It's true?! Xie Yan couldn't believe it.
This is a new model that has just been sent back to China, and his brother has not touched it a few times.
"If you don't want it, you won't send it." Xie Shuyi changed his words.
"Hey, don't, don't, you want it!" Xie Yan hurriedly said, "Thank you, brother!" You're my brother!! ”
"Don't let your family hear this," Xie Shu said lightly, "If they know that you are fooling around with me, they will be angry again." ”
"What's wrong with that? I'm happy to play with you, if you hadn't saved me from that murderer, I'd have died by now. Thinking of the family's attitude towards Xie Shu, Xie Yan was indignant, "But what about them, just based on that report, they concluded that you were ...... It's ......"
Xie Yan stopped talking, he couldn't say that word anyway.
Xie Shuyi chuckled: "Say I'm a pervert? ”
"Brother, you're obviously not!" Xie Yan frowned, and really felt that it was not worth it for him, "They only know that you have a problem with your head, why can't they see you going to Africa to be a doctor without borders?" You can go to such a dangerous place......"
"Enough blowing," Xie Shu smiled lazily, "If you blow it any longer, you will have to award me a Nobel Prize. Flat. Prized. ”
"It's not impossible," Xie Yan snorted, "If I were someone from the organizing committee, I would award the award to you immediately." ”
"It's here," Xie Shuyun parked the car at the door of the banquet hall, "Let's go." ”
Xie Yan opened the door and got out of the car to wait, but the latter had no intention of following.
He knew that it was not so easy, Xie Yan's heart suddenly sank, and he said cautiously: "Brother, today is my uncle's birthday, are you really not coming?" ”
"Let me in and ruin the dinner?" Xie Shu chuckled lightly and said lazily, "I'll drive back the car first, and you can get it from me tomorrow." ”
Seeing that the other party insisted, Xie Yan was not easy to force, and waved his hand to send people away.
He actually came today with a mission.
The Xie family wanted to repair the relationship, but they tore their faces again at the beginning, and they had to ask him to come forward and ask Xie to come over.
Xie Yan didn't dare to mention it directly, just went to the hospital to wait for Xie Shuyun, and asked him to send him over, and then invited him at the door.
Unexpectedly, Xie Shuyun and the others arrived at the door, but they were still reluctant to go in.
The sports car drove away from the banquet hall in the heavy rain, looking at the resolute back, a thought suddenly popped up in Xie Yan's heart:
Back then, maybe it was the people of the Xie family who drove Xie Shuyun away, but now, it was Xie Shuyun who took the initiative to choose and no longer accept the Xie family.
*
The rain came quickly, and in just a few minutes, it became a torrent, enveloping the entire fishing platform in smoke and rain.
Chi Qingtai walked out quickly with an umbrella, but even if there was an umbrella to cover it, the rain drifted obliquely under the umbrella, wetting his trouser legs.
There was a sound of cars behind him, and Chi Qingtai walked to the side of the road to avoid it.
The sound of the engine got closer and closer, and finally stopped abruptly beside him.
Ji Qingtai raised his eyes, and a red supercar appeared in his eyes. The windows were lowered, revealing a familiar face.
"Where?" The man poked his head out of the car, "It's raining so hard, I'll give you a ride." ”
Chi Qingtai didn't move, and glanced down at the man.
Xie Shuyun was on a big night shift last night, had another operation today, and rescued a patient who was in a car accident in the afternoon. I didn't take a shower for a day and a night, and the stubble on my chin came out.
He had been busy all day, but he was not embarrassed, and his eyes were still clear and bright.
It's hard to imagine that such a person can fly/leaf/child, make people have abortions, and even like to abuse bed partners......
Seeing that Chi Qingtai was not moving, Xie Shuyu vaguely remembered something, took out a bottle of disinfectant out of nowhere, sprayed the interior of the car, and then raised his head and said, "Come on, I've disinfected." ”
"No," Chi Qingtai retracted his gaze with a cold expression, "The driver is waiting for me outside the door." ”
Xie Shuyan: "Then I'll take you to the door." ”
Chi Qingtai didn't answer anymore, and walked forward alone with an umbrella.
He was wearing a black coat and walking in the rain with a black bone umbrella in his hand.
Xie Shuxian turned the speed of the car to the lowest and followed behind him little by little.
Today is Xie Wande's birthday banquet, the whole fishing trolley is coming and going, and some people don't have time to slow down, and a large area of stagnant water splashes when passing through the puddle. Chi Qingtai had to dodge from time to time, and he was embarrassed.
Xie Shuyan couldn't stand it, so he drove the car to the side of Chi Qingtai to block the water for him.
Finally, there was no water splashing over, and it was all blocked by the extremely expensive supercar.
"Who are you dating here?" Xie Shuyun asked him, "Why don't you even give you a temporary car license?" It's also a long way to let you go out. ”
He was just chatting, but he didn't expect the man on the side to suddenly stop.
A pair of Qing Lingling's eyes looked over, half covered by a black umbrella, as beautiful as a landscape painting.
Xie Shuyan was about to say something, but the man opposite had already spoken: "You don't know? ”
Xie Shuyan: "What do I know?" ”
Chi Qingtai: "I'm Chi Qingtai. ”
Xie Shu thought for two seconds, and faintly realized that something was wrong.
He just introduced himself with "I am" instead of "I am". That is, they should have known each other's identities and names a long time ago.
plus Chi Qingtai's rhetorical question just now......
"Sorry, wait a minute."
Xie Shuyun opened WeChat, clicked on the blocked message record, and sure enough, he saw Chi Qingtai's name.
Xie Shuyan: "......"
What's going on......
"Blame me, I haven't read any news." Xie Shulan put down his mobile phone, and for the first time because of the pigeon of the blind date, he felt self-blame.
He opened the car door and extended another invitation: "Just apologize, let me treat you to dinner, right?" ”
Ji Qingtai finally got in the car this time, but refused his request: "I made an appointment with a client tonight, I don't have time." ”
Xie Shuyi: "Then tomorrow?" ”
Chi Qingtai didn't answer and asked: "Mr. Xie has released blind date pigeons many times, does he not want to get married?" ”
"I don't want to." Xie Shuyun was very simple, "Even if Xie Wande stuffs me with a hundred blind dates, I won't get married." ”
Only then did Chi Qingtai realize that the information he had obtained earlier was wrong.
Xie Shuyun is by no means a suitable marriage partner.
He was able to release more than a dozen blind date pigeons in a row, and he would not have agreed to marry someone under pressure.
The supercar stopped outside the main gate of the fishing platform, and Chi Qingtai opened the car door, looking polite and detached: "Thank you for sending me out, I don't have to eat." ”
Xie Shuyi: "Still angry? ”
"No," Chi Qingtai calmed down, "It's just that I want to find someone to marry on a blind date, and Mr. Xie doesn't have this idea, so I won't delay each other's time." ”
Xie Shu raised his head lazily: "Do you think getting along with me is a waste of time?" ”
Chi Qingtai didn't answer this question, he took out a gift box from his briefcase, and said: "This is a thank you gift for saving patients on the plane, he can't find you, ask me to bring you the pen." ”
Xie Shulan didn't answer.
Chi Qingtai put the gift box on the cover of his car, left the umbrella with him, and left alone in the rain.
"Why do you have to get married?" Xie Shu's voice came from behind him.
Ji Qingtai stopped.
The heavy rain crackled against the ground, and Chi Qingtai stood in the rain curtain, with circles of puddles under his feet.
"For personal reasons, no comment."
After saying that, he didn't pause anymore and turned and walked towards his black Mercedes.
The driver had already opened the car door and waited, and when he saw Chi Qingtai in the rain, he hurriedly handed over a dry towel.
Chi Qingtai sat in the back seat, put the towel on top of his head, and ordered the driver to close the door.
However, the next moment, a big hand suddenly inserted into the gap in the car door, and Xie Shuyan's arm muscles bulged, almost blocking the car door strongly.
Chi Qingtai raised his head and crashed into a pair of deep dark eyes.
His eyes were slightly gloomy: "Anything else?" ”
Xie Shu blocked the car door and looked at him with lowered eyes, the emotions in his black eyes were dark and uncertain.
Chi Qingtai waited for a few seconds and didn't wait for an answer, then retracted his gaze and ordered the driver: "Close the door." ”
The doors closed, and the black Mercedes drove off into the distance in the rain.
Xie Shuyun stood in place and watched the vehicle go away until it disappeared.
*
On the other side, Xie Yan was thinking about the supercar, and as soon as the dinner was over, he couldn't wait to go to Xie Shuyun's house.
He carried the packed dinner, typed in the code and opened the door.
Xie Shulan is not used to having people at home, so he did not invite a live-in aunt, only a part-time worker came to the door regularly to do cleaning. In addition, he has irregular working hours, and he doesn't even have a cooking aunt.
At this time, the luxury flat-floor apartment was pitch black, and it was so deserted that there was no trace of popularity. Xie Yan didn't have a smart appliance app installed on his mobile phone, so he walked to the wall in the dark and turned on the lights.
"Didn't you mean at home? Is it out...... it! As soon as Xie Yan turned around, he saw a person sitting on the sofa, dressed in black, looking at him expressionlessly.
"Scared me, brother, why don't you turn on the lights at home?" Xie Yan put the packing box on the coffee table, "I'm afraid you didn't have dinner, so I'll pack you a seafood risotto." ”
Xie Shu was not polite, opened the packing box and began to eat.
He doesn't pick anything to eat at all, he eats what he wants, and he is very good at feeding.
Xie Yan didn't want to mention the car directly, so he sat on the sofa and made some mess with him.
"Brother, uncle also knows that you put the blind date's pigeons."
"He also made a special appointment at the fishing platform, so he planned that you would go on a blind date and take people directly to the dinner next door."
Xie Shu sneered coldly: "He has a good calculation." ”
"Of course, the uncle still can't count you in the end," Xie Yan sighed a little, "But I listened to the uncle, and I was going to introduce you to the blind date again." This time, it seems to be a dance student, very beautiful, and still in college. ”
Xie Shu finished eating, took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, and said indifferently: "You know my blind date so well, otherwise you would go on a blind date for me." ”
"Then I don't dare," Xie Yan waved his hand repeatedly, "My dad will break my leg." ”
"Breath," Xie Shu scolded in a low voice, throwing the car keys over, "Take it and leave quickly." ”
"Hey, thank you, brother! I'll go now, don't bother, you're my eternal God!" ”
Xie Yan left happily, walked to the door, and was suddenly stopped again.
"Wait a minute."
Xie Yan hurriedly turned around: "You command." ”
Xie Shu raised his eyes lazily, and asked unintentionally, "Do you know Chi Qingtai?" ”
Xie Yan reacted instantly: "Just the one you released the pigeon today?" ”
Xie Shuyun: "It seems to be acquaintance." ”
"I can't talk about acquaintance, but a buddy chased him, so I have some understanding." Xie Yan shook his head, "The main thing is that he is too famous, and now his blind date has been released by you, and it has spread in this circle." ”
Xie Shuyi's face sank: "I haven't told outsiders. ”
Xie Yan: "You didn't say it, but you can't stand Chi Qingtai is too famous, and it has already spread." ”
Xie Shuyun: "He's famous? ”
Xie Yan: "It's not the kind of fame you imagined, he is already very powerful, and every move will naturally become news." ”
"But there are indeed a lot of people chasing him, but Chi Qingtai is a kaolin flower, and those people are all closed. This time he finally put down his body and came out on a blind date, but you released the pigeon again, and everyone was watching him laugh. ”
Xie Shu frowned: "I didn't know it was him at the time." ”
Xie Yan laughed: "Do you know that it's him, so you won't release the pigeons?" ”
Xie Shuyun didn't answer, Xie Yan only thought he was talking casually, but he didn't expect Xie Shuyun to ask again soon: "Why did he come out on a blind date?" ”
"Who?" Xie Yan didn't react for a while.
Xie Shuyun: "Chi Qingtai." ”
"It should be a lack of money," Xie Yan has a little spare money on hand, and recently cooperated with friends to make investments, which is half of Chi Qingtai's peers, "I have heard that he is financing in the past few months, but he has not been able to attract people." ”
Speaking of this, Xie Yan sighed with emotion: "He is such a proud person, if he hadn't come to the end of the road, he wouldn't have come out to choose from a blind date." ”
Xie Shuyun suddenly raised his head: "The end of the road? ”
"Yes, he hasn't been doing well lately," Xie Yan nodded, "Chi Qingtai's mother has a rare disease, and there is no treatment on the market, so he set up his own pharmaceutical laboratory." Brother, if you study medicine, you should also know that the research and development of new drugs is a bottomless pit, and the cost is hundreds of millions and billions at every turn. He's invested a lot of money in it over the past few years, and he hasn't seen any return yet. ”
"But brother, what do you ask him for?" After Xie Yan finished speaking, he was a little curious, "Didn't you ignore the blind date before?" ”
"It's nothing," Xie Shu's expression was faint, "just ask." ”
