Dressed As a Cannon Fodder Substitute For a Beautiful President - Chapter 99
Qi Zheng hung up the phone, feeling a little complicated. Jiang Youyou didn’t know what was going on, the meal seemed to be bought by Shen Zhibing, and she went around to comfort her before hanging up the phone.
“Qi Zheng, Mr. Shen is so beautiful, capable and rich, everyone likes it. So… even if she rejects you, she is still a good boss. You see how much she cares about you.”
Qi Zheng was dumbfounded, and couldn’t explain too much.
She temporarily changed her plan to go to the library and walked back with coffee. She remembered that President Shen seemed to have said before that there is a famous “old man tree” here.
She searched for a while, but couldn’t find it, and was embarrassed to ask the classmates who passed by. Zhuang Muqing called her not far away, and Qi Zheng realized that Zhuang Muqing had also studied here in the early days of her undergraduate degree.
“I’m here today to talk about the exhibition and have lunch together?”
Zhuang Muqing is going to hold a small personal photography exhibition in University B. Most of the materials are related to University B. It is more suitable for the theme to be held here.
Qi Zheng nodded indifferently, Li Yunshan has something to do today, so it’s okay to change the meal.
“Shouldn’t you be in the library?” Zhuang Muqing remembered that Qi Zheng usually spent time in the library after class, or doing homework. Why is it boring to take a walk here today, and still want to be alone.
Qi Zheng was embarrassed, but after all, she was familiar with Zhuang Muqing: “I heard that there is a famous tree here, so I wanted to come and see.”
Zhuang Muqing was stunned for a moment, then laughed: “So you came to look for the ‘Old Man Tree’ too, I’ll take you there.”
Seeing someone leading the way, Qi Zheng followed without hesitation.
Zhuang Muqing asked her, “How could you know this?”
Qi Zheng asked back, “Isn’t this very famous?”
Zhuang Muqing smiled deeper and explained: “This is not actually a well-known scenic spot in B University, it is only famous in a small area, and most of them are more attractive to Asian students. I didn’t understand it when I first entered the school. The sisters will only know after they say it.”
Qi Zheng was even more ignorant of this. As Zhuang Muqing spoke, she listened quietly.
Soon they arrived under the tree they were looking for. The shape was indeed a bit unique, big enough, tall enough, and vicissitudes. It’s just next to it that seems to be missing something.
Qi Zheng observed it carefully, and felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.
“This tree wasn’t so lonely before, but the trees around it died one after another or were struck by lightning. It’s weird, only it survived.”
Zhuang Muqing looked at it with the eyes of an artist, and it was indeed a good creative material.
Qi Zheng, however, imagined whether Shen Zhibing would be like her now when she was studying here, standing here and looking at this towering tree that can only live alone after years of changes.
Seeing that Qi Zheng was silent for a long time, Zhuang Muqing turned to look at her. Qi Zheng raised his head, as if looking through the branches and leaves to see the past that has no traces, there is an indescribable beauty of desolation and compassion, which is heart-warming.
She took out her mobile phone without hesitation and quickly recorded the scene that touched her greatly. Inspiration is fleeting, she must stay for the first time.
Qi Zheng’s profile is perfect, too suitable to be used as a prototype for sculpture. It’s just that the appearance is not enough, the beauty of sculpture lies in the inner soul.
Zhuang Muqing felt that she had captured the deep sadness and entanglement in Qi Zheng’s heart, which is the source of beautiful art.
After she took the photo, Qi Zheng turned to look at her, as if she didn’t like being photographed secretly.
“I just think the moment just now was beautiful and there was no malice.” Zhuang Muqing put her phone in front of her and showed her work calmly. “If it makes you feel uncomfortable, I will delete it immediately, sorry.”
Qi Zheng looked down at the screen. On the screen, her profile was hidden in the dim light and shadow, which was indeed somewhat artistic.
“I don’t care, just don’t use me for the exhibition.”
Zhuang Muqing hesitated for a moment, then said frankly, “Actually, I have been thinking of new sculptures recently. Your appearance just now gave me a lot of inspiration.”
Qi Zheng looked at her, as if waiting for her to continue.
“So I thought, please be my model.”
Qi Zheng was startled, then shook his head: “I don’t understand this, I’m afraid I can’t help you.”
Zhuang Muqing explained: “It’s not the kind you understand, you just need to sit there quietly.”
When they are engaged in creation, they often encounter people who have misunderstandings about sculpture models. When many people hear that they want to be a model, their first reaction is to be like David.
After listening to the explanation, Qi Zheng still shook his head: “I’m not used to this, sorry, I can’t help you.”
Seeing her like this, Zhuang Muqing no longer reluctantly. The two stayed here for a while, Qi Zheng took out his mobile phone and took a few pictures of the big tree, and then walked out of the school.
“Are you still interested in going to that store last time?”
What Zhuang Muqing suggested was the Xiaolongbao shop an hour away by car. The taste was good, but it wasn’t delicious enough to make a special trip.
“Actually, I’d rather have a hamburger.”
The hamburger restaurant at the back door tastes really good and is very convenient.
Zhuang Muqing felt a little regretful, but she was glad to go with her. The shop is indeed very popular among students, and she used to queue up when she was studying.
“I heard from my uncle that the cooperation with Shen’s has been successfully completed. He also told me that you are a potential employee of Shen’s.”
Qi Zheng took a bite of the hamburger and listened to her with a light smile. Yun Fei had already told her that the acquisition plan was successful, and she was also happy about it.
But there is also an indescribable loss.
Zhuang Muqing was in a good mood, probably because the planning for the exhibition went well, which made her feel even more excited.
“You, Mr. Shen, also graduated from a business school, and you still maintain a lot of records.”
Qi Zheng drank his drink and whispered, “Really? I really don’t know much about it.”
When she came here, she has been busy making up for her shortcomings, trying to adapt to the rhythm and methods of foreign classrooms. It was only recently that she finally had a chance to breathe, allowing her to take a good look at the campus scenery, and a few other things.
“Shen Zhibing’s name was already very famous when I was studying. I remember that many boys in the class called her Bingmeiren and Princess Bingxue. I didn’t expect her name to be forgotten after so many years. , but more legendary.”
After Shen Zhibing graduated, he made donations to B University every year, and a new scholarship was added at the beginning of this year. Her name seems to have a place in the column of outstanding alumni, and the legend about her is still active on campus.
“President Shen is indeed very powerful. Her judgment on trends and timing calculations are very accurate.”
Zhuang Muqing is not proficient in business, but she also appreciates Shen Zhibing’s talents in other areas.
“Her equestrian is also very good. She has participated in competitions on behalf of the school team in the past. Dance is even more unique. At the graduation prom, many people lined up to ask her to dance, but none of them were successful.”
Qi Zheng listened silently, feeling that Shen Zhibing was suddenly far away from her. These are things she never knew, and they belong to President Shen’s past.
Seeing that she didn’t respond much, Zhuang Muqing thought she wasn’t interested in it: “You finally came to study, and I told you a bunch of stories about your boss in front of you. Did it make you more stressed?”
Qi Zheng sighed: “I just feel as if I have never really known her.”
Unfamiliar and familiar, this feeling makes Qi Zheng’s heart difficult to settle.
She didn’t tell Shen Zhibing how long it would take for their relationship to turn around, maybe never. She also didn’t know whether she would have the kind of relationship she expected with President Shen, so she didn’t give any answer.
In fact, she had no idea in her heart, she didn’t know what attitude Shen Zhibing would have. She came to apologize, she came to give gifts, she lowered her posture, whispered softly, and even humbly asked for peace.
Qi Zheng no longer resented what she said that night, but those words were still like a sharp knife, stabbing a big hole in her soft heart. After calming down, what she remembered repeatedly was the fact that Mr. Shen pushed her away without hesitation when faced with the pressure of difficulties.
Qi Zheng thought that it might be more suitable for Mr. Shen to stand by someone stronger than her, who would make her feel safe and rely on her wholeheartedly.
But now she is obviously not.
But when Jiang Youyou told her that President Shen often met her in the cafeteria “unintentionally but frequently”, every time he had to talk to her, Qi Zheng felt that President Shen might not give up.
This was the persistence and initiative that Shen Zhibing never showed when they got along with each other in the past. Qi Zheng even felt that after the separation, she could feel that President Shen cared about her.
At this time, Zhuang Muqing has changed a new topic and asked about Qi Zheng’s future career plans. When Qi Zheng said that she wanted to find opportunities in the United States, she was unexpectedly happy.
“If President Shen knows that you don’t want to go back after you come to the United States to study, she may cancel the program.”
Qi Zheng shook his head: “She must be ready with both hands.”
Zhuang Muqing asked again: “Then what kind of work do you want to try? Is it similar to the one in Shen’s or do you want to change your career?”
Qi Zheng thought about it and said, “I want to start a business and do it myself.”
Zhuang Muqing is not surprised by this. After the rise of the Internet, more and more emerging industries have also been driven. Starting a business is indeed a good choice.
“But the risk of starting a business is even greater. Besides, you are not familiar with the place in the United States, and you are relatively lacking in resources and connections. You still need to consider it carefully.”
These are the realities in front of us, and Qi Zheng is of course very clear. So she did not act rashly, but was collecting and analyzing, hoping to find a suitable segment.
She wanted to find an opportunity in the “small but beautiful” market.
“If you need help, you can tell me.”
“Thank you Moon.”
Qi Zheng didn’t want to take advantage of Zhuang Muqing’s resources. During this period of time, she had taken care of her with the utmost respect and sincerity. How could she still gain an inch.
**
Halfway through the course, with a three-week vacation, Qi Zheng had to go back to Haicheng.
According to the company’s regulations, she needs to go back to Shen Shi to report to the relevant person in charge, and briefly explain the study situation and the next study plan. There will be a formal report only after graduation.
Qi Zheng finished packing his luggage and glanced at his phone. According to Yun Fei, Mr. Shen was very busy this week, and he was almost on business trips, and he might not be able to come back next week.
Her chat record with Shen Zhibing was still four days ago. After talking about work and study, Shen Zhibing finally asked her when she would come back.
After Qi Zheng informed the date, he only received an OK gesture from President Shen, and nothing else.
On the contrary, Jiang Youyou was more excited and shouted to pick her up in person.
Sure enough, before Qi Zheng could feel the familiar taste of Haicheng, he got a bear hug from Jiang Youyou.
“Ah, ah, Qi Zheng, you’re finally back!”
Qi Zheng thought, don’t be so excited, it’s exaggerated, exaggerated.
“If you don’t come back, I will have nothing to answer Mr. Shen’s question!”
