Chapter 81: Lipstick (1)
Paganini Violin International Competition, the shortlist of the domestic division.
Soon the committee staff sent it to Xu Shen's mailbox - after all, Jiang Lu was the sponsor who "spent a lot of money".
After receiving the documents, Xu Shen sorted out and printed them into a book as soon as possible, personally sent them to the office, and put them on Jiang Lu's desk.
"Mr. Jiang, this is the list of all the finalists." Xu Shen put the document in his hand on the table and specially added, "This time, there are more than 600 people who have signed up, and there are 19 finalists, and my wife ranks first with a score of 99 points, which is amazing!" ”
"Of course!"
There was undisguised pride in Jiang Lu's tone.
"99 points is nothing, a few years ago, we unfortunately got a full score."
What do we regret?
Xu Shen smiled secretly.
Look at you!
Stretching out his hand to take the information, Jiang Lu looked at it carefully.
The shortlist is printed in order of results, the first place is Ning Xi, and the second place is Chu Jinchen.
Seeing Chu Jinchen's name, the man's eyebrows furrowed unhappily.
The Chu family is really haunted.
"I don't have any urgent work in the afternoon, do you want me to arrange a restaurant for you?" Xu Shen took the initiative to suggest, "Anyway, my wife is the first place, so I should celebrate it." ”
Although this is only a play-in tournament, it is not an official competition.
But among the hundreds of registered players, defeating everyone and getting such results is enough to show Ning Xi's strength.
"No, you don't."
Jiang Lu raised his face and glanced at Xu Shen remindingly.
"Don't let my wife know that I'm the sponsor of this competition."
Until now, Ning Xi hadn't told him about participating in the competition.
If he helped her celebrate, wouldn't he have to wear a goof?
If Ning Xi asked, how did he know her grades, and how would he explain?
"Got it." Xu Shen's tone was a little unwilling, "Mr. Jiang, I really don't understand, you sponsor the competition and don't let your wife know, what are you trying to do?" ”
In the past acquisition of top 500 companies, Xu Shen did not see Jiang Lu put so much effort into it.
A man spends money to please his wife, and he can understand.
But what is Jiang Lu?
Tossed for a long time and didn't let the other party know, he really couldn't figure out what his boss thought.
Jiang Lu leaned back in his chair, his dark eyes deep.
"If you want to change jobs, just say it."
Xu Shen: ......
He's obviously well-intentioned, okay?
In order not to lose this rare high-paying job, Xu Shen obediently shut up and left the office.
He didn't listen to Xu Shen's words, but there was one sentence, Xu Shen was not wrong.
This is something to celebrate!
After staring at the list in his hand for a moment, Jiang Lu stood up, grabbed the coat from the shelf and walked out of the office.
Drive to the supermarket and buy some ingredients.
Coming out of the supermarket and seeing the jewelry store poster at the entrance of the supermarket, Jiang Lu stopped.
The poster shows the new jewelry from the jewelry store, with a decorative chain in the middle.
On the thin chain, small tassels, inlaid with several blue gemstones.
Looking at the photo on the poster, Jiang Lu couldn't help but think of Ning Xi.
I'd rather have cold white skin, if she wears it, she must look better than a model.
Jiang Lu turned around and walked into the jewelry store, pointing to the poster.
"I want that one."
"That's our new anklet, it's the latest one of the year, and you're looking for it."
The salesman was busy taking out an anklet and putting it on the counter.
Anklet?
Jiang Lu was stunned.
At first glance, I thought it was a bracelet, but ......
Thinking of the slender ankles that the two of them were intimate with, and the way they didn't hold them in the palm of his hand, the corners of Jiang Lu's lips curved.
"Okay, wrap it up for me."
After paying, carrying the ingredients and a small paper bag, Jiang Lu returned to Shangpin Huating.
Fu Jinxi, who was waiting in front of the door of the unit, saw him and immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Brother Jiang Lu!"
Jiang Lu was a little surprised, "How do you know that I live here?" ”
"Of course my brother told me." Fu Jinxi stretched out his palm and wanted to take the shopping bag in his hand, "Come, I'll help you." ”
"No need." Jiang Lu avoided her palm, "Something?" ”
"What, I'm going to come and see you and Ning Xi?" Fu Jinxi smiled and raised his right hand, "I was embarrassed last night, so ...... I made a chocolate delivery and wanted to apologize to Ning Xi. ”
"Jinxi." Jiang Lu coughed lightly, "In the past, I hope you don't misunderstand, in my eyes, I have always regarded you as my own sister." ”
"I know, you're married now." Fu Jinxi raised his face and looked at him pitifully, "Could it be...... Can't we even be friends? ”
Looking at the face in front of him that was similar to Ning Xi, Jiang Lu's heart was soft.
"How come, as long as you want, later...... I will always take care of you like an older brother. ”
"Thank you, Brother Jiang Lu!" Fu Jinxi stepped forward and hugged his shoulder, "I know...... You won't abandon me! ”
Not far from the driveway, Ning Xi just drove back.
Seeing the men and women "hugging" from afar, she stepped on the brakes.
Jiang Lu turned his back to the driveway and didn't notice Ning Xi.
With something in his hand, he frowned.
"Jinxi, don't do this."
Fu Jinxi had already seen Ning Xi's car, deliberately raised his face, rubbed his lips on the man's collar, and let go of his arm casually.
Just now, other cars came over, saw Ning Xi's car parked on the road, and pressed the horn.
Ning Xi drove the car over and parked beside the two.
Recognizing that it was Ning Xi's car, Jiang Lu turned his face with a smile.
"My wife is back?"
Fu Jinxi also followed him over and helped Ning Xi open the car door.
"I'm sorry, I'm really embarrassed last night, I was a little uncomfortable temporarily, so I went upstairs to rest, and I didn't send you off."
"Oh." Ning Xi smiled and shook his head, "It's okay if you're fine." ”
"Then ......" Fu Jinxi raised his right hand and handed over the box containing the chocolate pie, "This pie is for you, I just baked it, you and Brother Jiang Lu eat it while it's hot, it can be regarded as a sign of my apology." ”
"Thank you!" Ning Xi took the chocolate pie in Fu Jinxi's hand, "That'...... Let's go up and talk, shall we? ”
Fu Jinxi looked at Jiang Lu with a well-behaved childish look.
"Won't it bother you?"
"How so?" Ning Xi took out the keychain from his bag, "Let's go!" ”
Jiang Lu didn't want to say anything, so he had to follow the two girls into the elevator together.
The three of them went upstairs together, and Ning Xi opened the door to let Fu Jinxi into the living room, and took the initiative to pour hot tea for her.
"That'...... You talk first, I'll go clean up the ingredients. ”
Fu Jinxi obviously came for Jiang Lu, and he would rather not stay as a light bulb.
took the initiative to take the food that Jiang Lu bought back and walked into the kitchen.
"This Shen, I'll come, you mention that."
Jiang Lu hurriedly followed, carried the heavy shopping bag from her hand, and followed her into the kitchen.
Fu Jinxi sat on the sofa and looked around.
His eyes fell on the coffee table, and Jiang Lu put down the small bag.
She looked in the direction of the kitchen, took the pouch lightly, reached for the jewelry box inside, and opened the lid.
Seeing the beautiful anklet in the box, Fu Jinxi's eyes flashed with a different color.
Glancing in the direction of the kitchen, she was busy putting things back in their place, pretending to go for tea.
Seeing Ning Xi and Jiang Lu come out again, Fu Jinxi put down the teacup and stood up.
"Speaking of which, I haven't congratulated you yet, I'd rather please!"
"Congratulations?" Ning Xi was stunned, "Congratulations on what?" ”
"Of course, congratulations on being shortlisted for the Paganini domestic preliminary round!" Fu Jinxi smiled, "My teacher David, just happened to be the judge of this competition, and just now he specially praised you to me, saying that you are the most amazing contestant among all the finalists." ”
Jiang Lu stretched out his arm and hugged her shoulder affectionately.
"My wife is so powerful?!"
"It's just a finalist...... "Ning Xi smiled, "It's not an official competition yet." ”
Originally, she planned to tell Jiang Lu tonight, but she didn't expect to be preempted by Fu Jinxi.
"Please, out of 100 points, you got 99 points, which is a very good result, and no other region has so many points." Fu Jinxi took out his mobile phone, "I'll call my brother too, let him come out together, and the four of us will celebrate." ”
Jiang Lu originally planned to celebrate Ning Xi alone, but he was busy stopping it.
"It's not such an exaggeration, Jin Nian is so busy, there must be no time."
"What's the exaggeration?" Fu Jinxi raised his hand and pushed him, "You are still a husband, don't you celebrate such a big thing for your wife?" ”
Ning Xi stood next to him and just smiled faintly.
If it were Fu Jinxi, he would definitely celebrate with a lot of fanfare, right?
