Genius Girlfriend - v4 Chapter 168
Jiang Yubai turned on the hands-free function.
Lin Zhixia heard Duan Qiyan’s voice and immediately said, “We are also going to go back. What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll take it for you by the way.”
“I had dinner, oyster omelette and fish porridge.” Duan Qiyan answered in detail.
Duan Qiyan was lying on the big hotel bed, his head was full of mess. He and Jiang Yubai chatted casually and hung up the phone.
He put his arms on the back of his head, closed his eyes, and took a nap, both physically and mentally floating in a dream.
The light in the room became fuzzy and groggy. He looked out the window and saw the red building, weeping willow, ancient pine, lake view and tower shadow on the campus of Peking University. Linhuxuan’s bamboo is covered with winter snow, but the ash tree in front of the gymnasium is covered with autumn frost. Forsythia flowers on the east side of the audio-visual building are blowing in the wind in the bright spring, and the road leading to the south gate is covered with In the shade of midsummer, he couldn’t distinguish spring, summer, autumn and winter, day and night, and he didn’t know where he was or where he was going.
He heard someone calling him: “Are you full at night?”
Duan Qiyan woke up from his sleep.
Tang Tingting stretched out a hand to him. She probed his forehead, and pressed her cheek to him: “You didn’t bring an umbrella, and you got caught in the rain. Do you have a fever?”
Duan Qiyan asked her back: “You just came back?”
Tang Tingting hooked his shoulder: “I came back with Lin Zhixia and the others. They booked a table for dinner at the hotel, and Jiang Yubai treated him. Let’s go, you and I will have something to eat.”
Duan Qiyan put on his coat and followed Tang Tingting out.
The two were silent all the way, and no one spoke.
There is a deep red carpet in the hotel corridor. Tang Tingting is wearing high heels, walking quietly and slowly. She turned her head and glanced at Duan Qiyan, he stopped suddenly, supporting the wall with one hand, and trapped Tang Tingting into the corner.
Tang Tingting was a little surprised: “You are really good enough, you have learned how to wallow.”
On this rainy night, water and mist filled the bustling streets, and the sound of the wind knocked on the windows. Duan Qiyan rarely fell into a strange mood. He said to himself: “I just returned to the provincial capital for a month, the best job I found was a high school teacher… I was very busy as a teacher. I went to class during the day, changed my homework at night, and gave lectures to the students during the next semester. , The school arranged for me to be the head teacher…”
He didn’t organize the language and disclosed some information indiscriminately.
Tang Tingting helped him adjust his collar: “I was about to tell you that we were splitting up tonight, thinking that you were with another group of people. I was strolling around the roadside stall and thinking about shopping for you. “
She stared at him: “You are good at work and good people.”
Duan Qiyan was still awkward: “Come on, don’t coax me with such scenes.”
Tang Tingting chuckled. She took Duan Qiyan’s arm: “How great you are, smart, hardworking, responsible, and you can eat and sleep well.”
This sound of praise reached the bottom of Duan Qiyan’s heart. He wiped his pants pockets with both hands, and compared it with Lin Zhixia: “Can Lin Zhixia eat and sleep?”
“No,” Tang Tingting explained truthfully, “She has a small appetite.”
Tang Tingting and Duan Qiyan talked as they walked, and both stopped in front of the restaurant’s main entrance. Tang Tingting gripped Duan Qiyan’s sleeves and suddenly said, “Be confident, Xiao Duan, I have always regarded you as the’first God of War’.”
Duan Qiyan pretended to be modest: “The’First God of War’ was a matter of many years ago, and heroes don’t mention the courage of the year.”
Lin Zhixia’s voice came from behind him: “When you were young, you were the number one God of War in the Primary School Attached to the Normal University. When you grow up, you are an excellent teacher in the Provincial No. 1 Middle School, Teacher Duan.”
Lin Zhixia was standing just under a chandelier, and the light source converged on her, shining brightly on her. The wall on the side of the corridor is covered with landscape paintings. Mountains and waters, dawn and cloud shadows all become her foil.
She stood one meter away, Jiang Yubai and Luo Ying both stood behind her-Luo Ying was present tonight in full dress. She wore a pure black dress with exquisite makeup, with a crescent-shaped hairpin pinned to her ears, her temperament was cold, mysterious and otherworldly, and she derives a sharp beauty like a blade out of a sheath.
The atmosphere in the restaurant is extraordinary.
Jiang Yubai and Luo Ying sat on the left and right sides of Lin Zhixia, but Lin Zeqiu’s seat was actually close to Jiang Yubai. Jiang Yubai and Lin Zeqiu talked a few words, and the two no longer confronted each other, and they could live in harmony.
Lin Zhixia was very pleased.
On the table are delicious delicacies with all colors and fragrances, steaming like smoke and mist. Lin Zhixia stretched out his chopsticks and gently picked up a tender fish ball. The fish ball slipped out of her hand, fell into the soup plate, and splashed with water.
Luo Ying picked up the spoon and scooped two fish **** into Lin Zhixia’s bowl.
Lin Zhixia was very polite: “Thank you.”
“Don’t be polite to me,” Luo Ying replied, “I happen to be sitting next to you, so I can help.”
Lin Zhixia asked her casually: “Do you like fish balls?”
Luo Ying picked up the wine glass and drank a sip of red wine: “I prefer to be a vegetarian.” She lowered the rim of the glass and clinked glasses with Lin Zhixia.
Lin Zhixia turned around and asked the waiter: “Hello, can you give me a strawberry-flavored drink?”
Jiang Yubai answered, “I ordered freshly squeezed strawberry juice. The kitchen is making it, but it hasn’t served it yet.”
Luo Ying said: “The degree of strawberry wine is not high, and rose wine is also good. I recommend you to try it.”
Jiang Yubai declined: “She doesn’t drink often, and she has little contact.”
Luo Ying put down her chopsticks.
Jiang Yubai picked up a shrimp dumpling and delivered it to Lin Zhixia’s bowl, just covering the fish ball. He seemed to ask her unintentionally, “Does the shrimp dumpling suit your taste?”
Lin Zhixia took a small bite, savored it carefully, and said, “It’s delicious.”
In fact, this evening, Lin Zhixia had already tasted Hong Kong’s roadside food on a street in the night market. She is not hungry now, about five points full, so she eats very slowly. And Luo Ying added a piece of sea cucumber to her rice bowl and placed it firmly on top of the shrimp dumplings.
Jiang Yubai took a glass of juice from the waiter and handed it to Lin Zhixia: “Your freshly squeezed strawberry juice.”
“I may not finish drinking,” Lin Zhixia said honestly, “I am a little full.”
Luo Ying’s tone was very natural: “Let’s divide it up a bit, and pour me what you can’t finish drinking.”
Holding a goblet with her two fingers, she poured a three-point full of red wine into the glass, and Lin Zhixia added some strawberry juice to her. She shook the cup lightly, her nails seemed to be shiny, as if stained with the color of rose and red wine.
She tasted the wine in silence, without moving her chopsticks.
Several other people were immersed in eating, and Lin Zeqiu had an appetite. He scooped a scoop of beef brisket stewed radish, buckled it on the rice, and took two mouthfuls of rice. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Yubai’s elegant dining style. He unconsciously sat up straight and began to chew slowly.
The atmosphere in the restaurant is surprisingly quiet, and Lin Zeqiu casually found a topic: “The chef’s craftsmanship is good.”
“Yes.” Lin Zhixia echoed.
At this time, Luo Ying pushed a glass of red wine mixed with strawberry juice, and Lin Zhixia suffocated the wine in one breath. The mellow wine and the sweet strawberry blend perfectly together, making her memorable. She couldn’t help drinking another half of a cup, and Lin Zeqiu said straightly, “Drink less, you drink so little.”
“It’s okay,” Lin Zhixia said wildly, “I’ve never been drunk.”
Jiang Yubai questioned her: “Really?”
Lin Zhixia raised her hand and patted Jiang Yubai on the shoulder, like a partner in his company. After that, she got up from her seat, and everyone looked up at her, but she said: “Everyone eat and drink, listen to my talk while eating. I want to summarize the results of our work…”
The clashing sound of the surrounding dishes became lighter.
Lin Zhixia stepped back two steps, behind her hands, she said with a slight seriousness: “Today is the first day of our business trip. We have reached an intent to cooperate with a local university in Hong Kong. This is something I did not expect before. It went smoother than I thought. I am going to set up a branch in Hong Kong, complete the listing plan in 2019, and solve the chip problem by 2021.”
In fact, Lin Zhixia was very drunk.
But her expression was calm and calm, her tone was firm and determined, and her pace was calm and solemn. Everyone present thought that Lin Zhixia was making generous speeches and making a heartfelt remark.
Duan Qiyan raised his hand and asked: “Your team will start a new company and go public in Hong Kong within a few years of its establishment. Can you be busy?”
Lin Zhixia nodded and expressed his approval: “This question is very good.”
Duan Qiyan raised a glass to her.
Lin Zhixia circled the round table slowly, quite like a president. She said: “Quantum computing is getting hotter and fiercer, and the competition is getting more and more fierce. In this field, I hope that we can lead the industry and become the world’s first. IBM wants to build quantum computers in Germany, and Google is preparing to be by 2023. Developed the world’s most complex quantum processor. There are a total of 12 artificial intelligence and quantum research institutes in the United States, and Europe has implemented the quantum flagship program. And our company has formed a brand effect and completed the original accumulation. At this stage… “
All the listeners, including Jiang Yubai, stopped eating. Their eyes focused on Lin Zhixia, who turned the hotel party into a company meeting. She bent down slightly, supported the edge of the table with both hands, still talking: “Everyone, you are all core members of our team…”
Duan Qiyan turned his face to look away, and Lin Zhixia added: “And the families of the core members.”
Duan Qiyan turned his face back.
Lin Zhixia said with enthusiasm: “The number of customers is increasing. What we need is global influence, occupy the market as soon as possible, and achieve technological upgrades. No matter how busy and tired, I will not delay the development of the company.”
She remembered the kind of product promotion program she had watched on TV as a child. She imitated the host’s tone and said meaningfully: “Bigger and stronger brand can recruit talents and keep a long run. The success of my own is single-handed, and the success of our team is thousands of troops. From the company’s macro view From a perspective, every step must be steady and steady-this does not mean that we must pursue conservatism. Expanding partners and recruiting more talents are the focus of this year’s work.”
“Okay!” Tang Tingting was the first to applaud, “Ms. Lin said it well, I support with both hands and feet!”
Tang Tingting glanced at Duan Qiyan.
Duan Qiyan muttered “Marry a chicken, marry a dog and a dog” in his heart, and applauded. But Lin Zeqiu’s gaze was a little complicated, Luo Ying’s lips had a faint smile, only Jiang Yubai knew that Lin Zhixia was drunk.
Jiang Yubai helped Lin Zhixia round the scene.
He briefly analyzed the company’s advantages and disadvantages-the quantum programming system and quantum cloud computing platform created by Lin Zhixia represent the current advanced level of world technology. However, any material published by Lin Zhixia and his team members may open up the two lines of the competitor’s supervisor, allowing Lin Zhixia to face cruel and fierce industry competition in the near future.
“Really?” Lin Zhixia was dubious.
Jiang Yubai’s attitude on business matters: “I have a meeting today and talked about related issues. You can look at the meeting minutes.”
“Then I will go back to the room with you now.” Lin Zhixia walked behind Jiang Yubai.
This is exactly what Jiang Yubai wanted. He spent a lot of talk and finally led the development of the situation. He took Lin Zhixia’s wrist, greeted his friends, and calmly took Lin Zhixia away.
Luo Ying lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head. She glanced at Lin Zhixia’s rice bowl and saw that she was left with half a fish ball and a small section of sea cucumber.
There was a hint of strawberry sweetness remaining in the surrounding air. That kind of scent is invading the soul and bones, making people uneasy. Luo Ying has never had a similar feeling. Such a novel experience is both soothing and torture. She seemed to be split in half, half full of chaotic emotions, and the other half full of sensible echoes-reason told Luo Ying that love should be two-way, and she did not have deep feelings for Lin Zhixia. She just likes her beauty, cuteness, optimism, and admiration that she has reached the pinnacle of the industry at a young age.
Luo Ying tried to convince herself with this argument. But she bit her tongue inadvertently, the tip of her tongue bleeds, the smell of blood fills her mouth, and the sourness fills her throat.
She was still thinking about Lin Zhixia.
She has never suffered since she was a child, but this time, what did she fight for? What qualifications do you have to fight?
She only felt that the heart was fitted with a watch, and the second hand ticked around, recording countless sleepless days and nights, and the rotating needle cut out a circular hole…Time was like an arrow, she was a bullseye.
The night rain was pattering, and the street lamps in the rain and mist were faint and scattered into fuzzy spots. The apricot tree in the front courtyard of the hotel was hit by wind and rain. Lin Zhixia leaned against a floor-to-ceiling window and said with emotion: ” No, Xianhua falls silent and listens silently[1].”
Jiang Yubai was standing beside her with a cup of tea. She bent over to drink tea from his cup, and he whispered to her: “Mr. Lin.”
Lin Zhixia was almost choked by tea. She coughed, stood up straight again, adjusted her collar, and said, “Is it a role-playing game for the secretary of the president? I am the president and you are the secretary.”
“Yes.” Jiang Yubai readily agreed to her.
“Secretary Jiang,” Lin Zhixia said into the play, “You come with me.”
They walked into the bedroom together.
The white gauze curtains were closed on both sides of the window. Lin Zhixia lowered the curtains, and the phone screen just turned on—she received Luo Ying’s WeChat message.
This evening, Lin Zhixia picked a pair of strawberry pendant earrings in a street jewelry store. She and Luo Ying checked out together, and the earrings were also in Luo Ying’s purse. Luo Ying sent her WeChat and mentioned the pair of earrings. Lin Zhixia said: “I’ll go find you, and I will pay you back by the way.”
Luo Ying replied in seconds: “I am waiting for you.”
Lin Zhixia sent a love heart smoothly.
When Lin Zhixia chats with all her female friends, the most commonly used expression is love. This habit was developed in college. At that time, her roommate Deng Shasha had a red light and needed counseling. Lin Zhixia volunteered to become Deng Shasha’s tuition teacher.
Deng Shasha often confessed to Lin Zhixia. On WeChat, she was enthusiastic and enthusiastic: “Teacher Xiaolin, I love you so much! Life cannot be without you, my life. Light, you must give me papers before the exam! Your meal card, I have contracted !” The end of this sentence is often accompanied by a bright red, beating heart.
However, this method of making friends does not work for Senior Sister Luo Ying.
The senior sister saw Aixin and stopped talking.
“She is not in the right state today,” Lin Zhixia thoughtfully, “I will go and see.”
The indoor lighting was dim and the shadows intertwined. Standing at the junction of the bedroom and the living room, Jiang Yubai blocked Lin Zhixia’s way: “It’s half past nine in the evening. It’s time to go to bed. You can go again tomorrow.”
Lin Zhixia explained: “It’s okay, I’ll go back quickly, the senior sister said she is waiting for me.”
Jiang Yubai was quiet for a while, but said, “Waiting for you?”
“What’s wrong?” Lin Zhixia asked him back, “You are not the same as usual today. Is there anything you are hiding from me?”
Jiang Yubai untied his tie, took off his watch, and put it on the cabinet. Before he sat down at a desk, he turned on the laptop. He used an electronic pen to sign an important document, and at the same time said to Lin Zhixia: “It’s nothing, you go. I will sleep when you come back.”
Jiang Yubai and Duan Qiyan discussed the issue of “how to run a family”. Duan Qiyan pointed out that the most important thing between husband and wife is trust, free space, and emotional maintenance-this sentence does make sense.
Jiang Yubai is a giant in action. He implemented the three major guidelines of “how to run a family”, that is, “trust each other, give freedom, and maintain emotion.”
Lin Zhixia grabbed his arm and said, “When I come back, I want to listen to your heart.” She whispered in his ear: “Let’s go to bed and talk.”
Jiang Yubai paused in his handwriting.
Lin Zhixia hugged his neck and kissed him a few times before ran out of the study.
The rain stopped outside the corridor, the dark clouds dissipated, the moon dimmed, and a few solitary stars hung in the night sky.
Lin Zhixia knocked on Luo Ying’s door.
Luo Ying is wearing a women’s suit. She did not change her pajamas or remove her makeup. She was neatly dressed, her face was calm, and she asked softly, “Would you like to drink something?”
“No, thank you,” Lin Zhixia said honestly, “I ate too much today.”
Luo Ying nodded slightly.
The floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room were opened, and the cool breeze after the rain poured into the room, and there was a light fragrance mixed with roses—it was because there was a scented candle beside the window.
The candle was surrounded by a layer of glass, and the top was opened, and the flame swayed in the wind, swaying endlessly.
Lin Zhixia was attracted by the candle, and Luo Ying had found the pair of earrings. She handed the earrings to Lin Zhixia, and said, “The things are not expensive, so you don’t need to pay me back, just treat it as I gave you.”
However, Lin Zhixia put together a whole and directly transferred the funds through WeChat: “It costs hundreds of yuan to convert into RMB.”
Luo Ying smiled and asked, “Are you not accepting gifts from others?”
“I don’t know why,” Lin Zhixia put the phone behind her back, “I…”
Luo Ying held up a long glass stick and stirred the wick of the candle, the fire illuminating her face, reflected on the rain-stained glass window. She didn’t even look at Lin Zhixia, but Lin Zhixia said frankly: “I’m not too embarrassed to accept your gift. Maybe it’s because I sold a software back then and you don’t need a penny. From then on, I always Think I owe you a favor.”
“You don’t owe me,” Luo Ying whispered softly, “You taught me how to program and guide me to get started.”
Lin Zhixia looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said: “After you graduate from your Ph.D., you can get a better job, but you choose to join our startup company. You come to work at 8 o’clock every day, and you get the best at night. Late, the results of the performance appraisal are the best. This year’s’Excellent Staff Special Award’ must be you, senior sister.”
Luo Ying found an excuse: “The company that you and Jiang Yubai started in partnership has a 100% probability of going public. I work overtime to get more stocks. I came here to make money… without you thinking. So simple.”
Lin Zhixia was a little surprised. She turned her head and stared at Luo Ying quietly.
“Senior Sister,” Lin Zhixia said softly, “I always think…”
Luo Ying stared at her, and she commented: “You are soft on the outside and strong on the inside. The decision you make is hard to be shaken by others.” After a pause, she said: “I finished my undergraduate course in three years. In the last year of undergraduate, we often took classes, formed teams, and did homework together. That experience was for me…”
Luo Ying closed her eyes for two seconds and opened her eyes. Her emotional ups and downs were severe, but her facial expressions were slight. Lin Zhixia always calls her “Senior Sister, Senior Sister”, she is trying her best to play the role of a close sister all the time, and she is about to form a habit, and she is unaware of it.
Lin Zhixia observed her look, her palms were warm. She keenly caught the inexplicable change in Luo Ying’s body, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. Lin Zhixia spoke quickly: “For me, it is a memory worth cherishing.”
“How is Jiang Yubai treating you?” Luo Ying changed the subject, “I always think men are unreliable.”
She took off the rubber band tied to her wrist and **** her long hair, revealing a beautiful neck like a white swan.
Lin Zhixia also put her hair behind her ears, and replied seriously: “Jiang Yubai is very good to me. He is a very interesting person. However, no one is always reliable, from a certain perspective. Say, I’m not reliable either.”
She seems to be conveying euphemistic hints.
Luo Ying touched the cold window sill. She didn’t say a word, and secretly said: That’s right, Lin Zhixia Bingxue is smart and has a very high IQ. She is a genius among geniuses, a well-deserved son of heaven, and it is not difficult to guess what she is thinking.
Luo Ying’s hands were nowhere to be placed, and her thinking was still a mess. She was implicitly exposed by Lin Zhixia and could only weigh her words repeatedly. Lin Zhixia claimed to be “unreliable”, the deep meaning of this cannot be more obvious-Lin Zhixia probably gave Luo Ying a hand before she fell into the quagmire, and now it is the right time to take action, because Luo Ying’s heart has just emerged. It’s like an ancient well that has been silent for many years is suddenly poured into a stream of living water, and a small fish is raised at the bottom of the well. The waves are rippling and chaotic, and it is turned upside down by the tail of the fish.
Before that, Luo Ying had rejected many boys with excellent qualifications. A certain boy asked her straightforwardly: “Are you gay?”
She was so excited that she blurted out: “I am not gay. I am heterosexual.”
However, a series of chemical reactions triggered by Lin Zhixia confirmed the boy’s judgment. Luo Ying was upset and could do nothing. She wrapped the satin cloth strips of the curtains around her wrists, and said in a low voice: “What you said just now is correct. There is no perfect person, and there is no perfect life… what many people desire for this life Can’t reach.”
Lin Zhixia took a step back, and the reflections on the glass windows overlapped.
Luo Ying said incoherently: “I am, in fact I…”
Lin Zhixia comforted her: “Life is divided into several stages, and what you want in each stage is different. The local optimum does not equal the global optimum… Not getting it is not necessarily a bad thing.”
Luo Ying sighed lightly.
Lin Zhixia gave an example: “When I was young, I wanted a basket of strawberry candies. If my dream that year can come true, I will definitely have a tooth decay now.”
Luo Ying was amused by her and responded: “It’s almost ten o’clock, go back to your room, and there will be a meeting tomorrow morning.”
“Okay, I’m leaving now,” Lin Zhixia said goodbye to her, “you rest early and see you tomorrow morning.”
Luo Ying stayed in place.
There was a slight closing sound from the living room, and Lin Zhixia’s footsteps drifted away.
Luo Ying slowly lowered the curtains. The candle in front of the window has a weak light, the candlelight is dim, dripping wax into flowers.
