Dressed As a Cannon Fodder Substitute For a Beautiful President - Chapter 117
It was the first time for Qi Zheng to come here, and he didn’t expect to meet an acquaintance. During those days at the villa, she actually spent more time with Aunt Xin than Shen Zhibing. In these years in the United States, she often thought of the care she received at the villa.
“Aunt Xin, are you okay?” Qi Zheng gave her a sincere smile as before.
Shen Zhibing was turning around and preparing to explain something, when he suddenly saw Qi Zheng’s smile, he was stunned.
It was a little sad, because during this time she found that although Qi Zheng did not resist contact with her, it still seemed to be wrapped in a layer of film, separated by an invisible distance. But she was also a little happy. The way she treated Aunt Xin just now seemed to be seeing her a few years ago.
“Aunt Xin, I just finished playing ball with Qi Zheng. She will stay here for dinner today. Let the kitchen prepare it.” After speaking, Shen Zhibing looked at Qi Zheng, “Come with me.”
Shen Zhibing took her to the bathroom of the guest bedroom. Although it is usually not used, it is cleaned by a special person every day, and the sanitary condition is very good. It is indeed more comfortable than the clubhouse.
“Any other needs?”
Qi Zheng smiled and shook his head: “It’s already very good.”
Shen Zhibing waited for Qi Zheng to enter the bathroom before returning to his room. When she came out after washing, she saw that Qi Zheng had changed into a suit and was talking to Aunt Xin. Standing not far away, she looked at Qi Zheng, who was dressed in casual clothes and was tall and was blending in with the surrounding environment in a very relaxed state.
Such a picture gave her a lot of expectations, hoping to see it often in the near future, and hoping that Qi Zheng would accept it.
“Miss Qi, I heard Miss San said that you worked hard to start a business in the United States. You must not have eaten well. Fortunately, you didn’t lose too much weight.”
Qi Zheng touched his cheek: “Although it’s not as authentic as Haicheng’s food, there are also many restaurants with good taste, so it’s no problem to satisfy your cravings.”
Aunt Xin was very happy about Qi Zheng’s reappearance. She knew that Qi Zheng had returned to China, but she didn’t know what happened between Miss San and her.
When Qi Zheng just left the villa, Aunt Xin wasn’t sure yet. After so long, she already had the answer in her heart. Although she knew that it was not easy for Miss San to choose such a relationship, when she thought that the other party was Miss Qi, she couldn’t help but become selfish, hoping that they would have a good outcome.
“Have the tastes changed in foreign countries over the years?”
Qi Zheng glanced at the food that had been put on the table one after another: “I’m still the same.”
Aunt Xin smiled even deeper, looked at Shen Zhibing who was standing not far away, and said with a smile, “Miss Qi is indeed a dedicated person.”
Qi Zheng loves to eat those kinds of food when he comes and goes, and he doesn’t seem to get tired of it. He has been complained by Li Yunshan and Zhuang Muqing several times. She doesn’t think there is any problem. It’s not bad to choose and stick to what she likes.
Some people like freshness, and naturally some people like repetition.
When all the dishes were ready, Qi Zheng realized that almost all of them were her favorites. She raised her head and thanked Aunt Xin: “Aunt Xin has a heart, and I still remember it after so long.”
Aunt Xin was not greedy for merit. She quietly glanced at Shen Zhibing and said frankly, “Not only do I remember it, but Miss San also remembers it. Stir-fried shredded pork with lettuce was specially reminded by her just now, saying that it would be better to eat something refreshing after playing football.”
Qi Zheng was a little surprised, and when he thought of the small wonton shop before, he couldn’t help but feel a burst of emotion.
She looked at Shen Zhibing, but was snatched at the moment she was about to speak: “Don’t thank me deliberately, I just want to eat it too.”
After Shen Zhibing finished speaking, she was about to move her chopsticks, but Qi Zheng didn’t miss her reddish ears.
She melted the word “thank you” into her mouth, pursed her lips and held back a smile for a while, then said, “I’ll invite you next time.”
Shen Zhibing accepted it readily, and Qi Zhengken took the initiative to ask her out, which gave him another chance to contact her.
After the meal, Shen Zhibing left Qi Zheng for another cup of tea, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. The decoration style of Yunlu Garden is simple, the materials are exquisite, and the furniture is expensive, but it is not the same as the villa style.
The breath of life here is stronger, Qi Zheng took a look at it secretly.
“Do you need a driver to take you?” Shen Zhibing glanced at the time and knew that Qi Zheng should go back.
“I have to go to Moon’s workshop. She has an exhibition at the end of next month and is still rushing to work.”
Shen Zhibing accompanies her downstairs. Hearing what she said, he froze for a moment, and the smile on the corner of his mouth faded.
She remembered that when Qi Zheng answered a phone call just now, it didn’t sound like it was official business. The other end of the phone was probably asking her for help. Qi Zheng didn’t say no, but he could see hesitant, and finally agreed.
Now that I think about it, it should be Zhuang Muqing’s phone number.
“Then let the driver take you there, don’t waste time on the road.”
Qi Zheng thought about it too, and she hurried back to sort out the materials. If it wasn’t for Zhuang Muqing’s fascination with creation, she wouldn’t have made a special visit so late.
When Shen Zhibing returned home, Aunt Xin saw that she seemed to be lower than when she went out, and thought she was having trouble with Qi Zheng.
“Miss Qi is back?”
Shen Zhibing hummed and continued to sit on the sofa, wondering what she was thinking.
Aunt Xin instructed the servants to tidy up and secretly observed Shen Zhibing’s reaction, but hesitated several times.
Finally, she tentatively asked: “Do you need to clean up the villa over there?”
When Qi Zheng first left, Aunt Xin basically stayed at the villa. Later, she started to start a business in the United States. Shen Zhibing expected that she would not come back in the short term, so she asked Aunt Xin to take care of both ends and never let go of the villa.
“Let’s keep it as it is.”
What Shen Zhibing thought was that if he could really get along with Qi Zheng, Yunlu Garden might be more suitable for life.
**
When Qi Zheng arrived at the creative workshop specially prepared for Zhuang Muqing by the University of the Arts, it was almost nine o’clock in the evening, the lights were still bright, and there were still many people.
Zhuang Muqing and her assistant were both busy. She was wearing suspender jeans when she saw Qi Zheng coming, so she stopped her work.
“I’m so sorry to have you here so late.”
Qi Zheng smiled and handed over the things in his hand: “You spend all day in the workshop, are you not afraid that you will become a sculpture?”
“I’m very enjoyable, it’s a very happy thing to be fully committed, and I like the process.”
The solo exhibition at the end of next month, most of which are her past works, have already arrived from the United States. But the University of the Arts hopes that she can create some new products, preferably related to the city of Haicheng or Shanghai-style culture, so her team is rushing to work.
“Although I know it’s enjoyable, I hope you take care of yourself.”
When Zhuang Muqing first arrived, she had the symptoms of jet lag and even acclimatization, and lost a few pounds all of a sudden. She was already thinner and looked more vulnerable.
“So thank you for recommending the flatbread and rice cakes.”
Just now, Zhuang Muqing had a sudden increase in inspiration and was very greedy, so she begged Qi Zheng to buy one for her. And it had to be the one they visited the store last time. She didn’t remember the exact address and name, so she could only pin her hopes on Qi Zheng.
“Are you interested in seeing my work?”
For Qi Zheng, Zhuang Muqing is quite generous and doesn’t mind showing off her semi-finished products.
“I don’t know much about this, so let’s wait until the exhibition is over.”
Zhuang Muqing didn’t force her to go out after chatting with her for a while.
Shen Zhibing’s driver was still there, Qi Zheng didn’t expect that the other party didn’t leave, saying that President Shen wanted to take her home because she was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to call a car at night.
After Qi Zheng left, Zhuang Muqing returned to the workshop and continued to work on the semi-finished sculpture in front of her, to be precise, a face.
Suddenly there was a strange feeling in her heart, which was difficult to capture but gave her a different inspiration. This sculpture is the new product she will be exhibiting, and it is also the work she has devoted the most effort to create this year.
The industry has begun to blow air, and they are looking forward to and paying attention to this exhibition.
Although busy with creation, Zhuang Muqing immediately agreed to the invitation when she received Shen Zhibing’s call.
The location is a private restaurant that is not well-known on the Internet, but both the interior decoration and the quality of the dishes are first-class.
“I originally said that I should invite you, but I still rubbed your meal.”
Shen Zhibing wore a casual pullover, and the aura of a professional strong woman has retreated a lot, adding to the charm of life.
“I heard Qi Zheng say that you have been busy with exhibitions recently, and I am worried that it will disturb you today.”
“Senior sister, you’re welcome. I’m very happy to have dinner with you. I won’t disturb you at all.”
Zhuang Muqing is an outgoing person who does not deliberately hide her emotions. Shen Zhibing looked at her with a smile and curved eyes, her body exuding a bright and cheerful aura, she couldn’t help being a little stunned.
This is probably the taste of youth. She has been so young before, but it seems that she has never been so reckless.
Most of Zhuang Muqing’s curiosity about her came from the introduction in the school magazine or word of mouth from other seniors. On the contrary, the uncle who really did business with Shen Zhibing laughed every time and refused to reveal too much.
Shen Zhibing took those exaggerated claims lightly and never took them seriously.
“Sister, you are too modest. I have seen your award-winning photos and works before, and you really crushed others. But I am curious, why do you keep studying business?”
Obviously, Shen Zhibing’s talent and attainments in art are not bad.
“Not everything can be chosen, and many times only the relatively important one can be chosen.”
Zhuang Muqing understood but did not agree with this statement: “But life is yours, and you are not the only savior of the world. Will you really be happy if you let yourself live the life arranged by others?”
Shen Zhibing shook his head gently: “I’m not happy, but I still say that, there are some things I can’t choose.”
She swayed the wine in the glass, thinking of many past events, those she had experienced or given up.
“But now I will keep what I care about most, it may be difficult, but I will try my best.”
Zhuang Muqing’s Chinese proficiency is not good enough to understand the other meanings in this sentence at once, she can’t help but sigh: “Sometimes I feel that you and Qi Zheng are both very tired.”
Hearing the mention of Qi Zheng, Shen Zhibing’s eyes flashed, but his expression remained calm.
“why?”
“When I first met Qi Zheng, her aura was gloomy and gloomy. It was the first time that my uncle asked me to take care of someone, the kind that really needs to be taken care of, do you understand?”
Zhuang Muqing gestured as she spoke, and Shen Zhibing nodded to show her understanding.
Then she recalled: “It seems that she has gradually changed since she decided to start a business. But she worked too hard, thinking about work almost every day. However, when I have inspiration, I also spend time in the studio continuously, So I can understand her input.”
Shen Zhibing was very interested in the past that she had not been able to participate in. Although she learned about it from Zhuang Muqing, she wanted to know more about Qi Zheng.
“But it always makes me think she’s missing something.” Zhuang Muqing held her cheek with one hand. She hadn’t found the answer before, but recently she seems to understand.
Seeing that she stopped talking, Shen Zhibing was a little anxious, but said casually: “What’s missing?”
“Soul.” Zhuang Muqing did not notice the change in Shen Zhibing’s mood, “I think she became more complete after returning to Haicheng. Although she has a successful career in the United States and is full of energy every day, she is a little unreal outside of work. “
She described it very abstractly, but Shen Zhibing understood it all at once.
She was like that a few years ago.
She seems to have nothing but work.
Zhuang Muqing is more interested in the current Qi Zheng. Speaking of what happened after returning to Haicheng, the smile on the corner of her mouth finally showed, and even her tone jumped brightly: “I didn’t think it was much different, but when I heard her talk about the city The story, even the sycamore tree on the side of the road was told by her that she felt romantic, and I knew that this was her home.”
Shen Zhibing imagined the changes in Qizheng over the years, and felt sad and itchy.
