Chapter 19
Xu Xingxing looked up at the man, a pair of round eyes slightly sullen. She opened her lips, as if to say something cruel. However, in the end, he just glared at him and said something in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"I disagree."
This sentence is said as if the ice pick fell into the hot water, and it was melted with a splash of water, which is really not lethal.
Under the sun, the man's brows furrowed, but the smile on his lips deepened.
Appreciation of tea art is a domestic thing, and it needs a translator from IO to introduce it to the people who come from TIE. In addition, Yan Jialin and Xu Xingxing are mainly responsible for translating what the other party said into Chinese to the staff of the company.
After the tea appreciation was over, the group stepped into the main topic and went to the conference room to discuss work. In fact, the cooperation with TIE Group has already been negotiated and signed a contract on a large scale, and only some small aspects need to be re-polished. Originally, the business department could handle it, but Huai Jing came in person.
Although Huaijing came, the chairperson of the meeting was still Minister Yang of the Business Department. Huai Jing sat in the lead position, leaning back lazily on the back of the chair, her light brown eyes stared at the document in her hand lightly, and she casually flipped through her fingers.
His tie was firmly and neatly tied, his suit and shirt were well-cut, and his temperament was gentle and cool. He didn't speak during the whole meeting, he just sat there, calm and restrained, extraordinarily provocative. It can be seen at a glance that in this meeting, he is the final decision maker.
When Xu Xingxing was recording, the end of his eyes would occasionally catch him, and every so often, Xu Xingxing would remember what he said in the tea art room.
Xu Xingxing was not threatened. After all, the relationship between the two was mutual sexual partners, and it was not simply that he took care of her. Therefore, if the two have sex, they also need her consent.
The domineering of the man became more and more prominent in the relationship between the two, and Xu Xingxing could clearly feel that her will had become very weak under the action of the man. This was not her original intention, after all, they both got what they wanted from the beginning. But now, it seems to be asking for anything.
She was on a business trip to work, not to go on vacation with him.
Thinking of this, Xu Xingxing gradually gained some confidence.
However, Huaijing really seemed to be on vacation.
After the meeting, it was time for dinner. After dinner, everyone disbanded, and Xu Xingxing returned to the room first.
After returning to the room, Xu Xingxing packed her things and went to the soup restaurant in Maobai Hot Spring. Before she came to Wencheng, she had booked a separate small hot spring in advance.
The size of the small hot spring is limited to three people. Xu Xingxing soaks it by himself, which is not only spacious, but also avoids the embarrassment of being seen by others with the bite marks on his body.
The entire building of Maobai Hot Spring is in the shape of a triangle, with the hotel, business and leisure area, and soup hall at the three intersections of the triangle. The soup hall is at the deepest intersection of Maobai Mountain. The three places are connected by a long corridor. Xu Xingxing walked through the long corridor from the hotel area to the soup hall. Later, the waiter guided her to the small hot spring private room she had reserved.
At the door of the private room, Xu Xingxing opened the door with the room card. As soon as the door opened, hot air rushed in, Xu Xingxing was covered in water vapor, and his face was slightly red from the smoke. She pushed open the door and walked in, and saw the interior of the small hot spring private room.
The room of the hot spring private room is not big, only about ten square meters. Entering the door is the locker, and in the center is a round hot spring pool stacked with stones. There is a clear water shower in the hot spring pool, and the drunk sleep in the room is the window.
The hot spring water in the small hot spring is living water, which is connected to the house through a bamboo tube. The bamboo tube is inserted from the window, and the hot spring water is drained in the bamboo tube.
At the same time as the new hot spring water is drained, the old hot spring water in the hot spring pool is also drained out.
This design is simple, clean and convenient.
Xu Xingxing took off all his clothes in his own room. The temperature of the hot spring water was above 40 degrees, and the room was filled with hot steam, like a sauna, and Xu Xingxing was already sweating.
After taking off his clothes, Xu Xingxing first put his feet into the hot spring pool. The water temperature in the hot spring pool is higher than the body temperature and a little hot. The foot that Xu Xingxing had just stretched back retracted, and after moving his toes, he stretched it in again.
After the body slowly got used to the current temperature, Xu Xingxing soaked his entire body in the hot spring water and breathed a sigh of relief.
The inside of the hot spring pool is made of stones, and so is the bottom of the hot spring pool, which not only increases the beauty, but also maintains the water temperature. Xu Xingxing's body just came in, his balance was not well controlled, and he sat down under the hot spring pool. The hot stone made Xu Xingxing tremble, and she quickly got up. However, just now, although it was hot, it was very comfortable. After Xu Xingxing soaked for a while, after getting used to the temperature, he simply sat at the bottom of the hot spring pool and never got up again.
The comfort and comfort brought by the hot springs can easily make people dazed.
Xu Xingxing's mind gradually became lazy, and she looked up at the ceiling.
On the ceiling, there is a lamp made of a hibiscus painting. From time to time, black shadows swayed past the lamp, like koi playing in the Hibiscus Pond.
When go back from this business trip, won't have such a relaxing time a few years ago. After signing the contract, the milk tea shop began to decorate, and after the decoration was completed, employees were recruited. Training and operation, a set of hundreds of thousands.
Not to mention profit, Xu Xingxing didn't even count the return period of the store. If in the future, the store does not pay back, and she returns to Huai City, then this investment will be a waste of money.
Thinking of this, Xu Xingxing thought of a question.
How long will she stay in Xiacheng?
Her current life in Xiacheng is like a comfort zone on a cliff, comfortable and satisfying, but full of uncertainty. She could fall at any time. When she fell, it was when she returned to Huai City.
Xu Xingxing didn't want to go back to Huai City from the bottom of her heart. The more prosperous she was in Xiacheng, the more she could feel the feudal and conservative rotten atmosphere of Huai City, which made her breathless.
But Huaicheng has her closest mother and younger brother, but Xiacheng does not.
The water temperature of the hot spring water was too high, and Xu Xingxing felt a little dry in a short while, but the sleepiness and fatigue in his body disappeared a lot. Although the water temperature is very high, Xu Xingxing still likes to soak in it. It seems that she is really old.
Looking down at his body, the place where he was soaked was so red that it even covered up the man's bite marks. If you soak it again, your skin will burn.
Xu Xingxing took a clean shower, changed his clothes and left the soup restaurant. There are still many people in the soup hall, Xu Xingxing raised his wrist and glanced at the time, it was only eight o'clock in the evening.
Now that you are out, just relax, Xu Xingkong is not in a hurry to go back. After finding the schematic diagram of Maobai Hot Spring, Xu Xingxing saw an ancient street. The introduction that followed was to sell some special products and gadgets. She became interested and went to the ancient street.
Compared with the daytime, the night of Maobai Hot Spring has a more antique charm. When the lanterns are turned on, the soft light covers the hall of the ancient building, which is particularly artistic.
At the end of the hall, there are two open hollow windows and wooden doors. Xu Xingxing raised his legs and stepped out. There was a long street outside the wooden door, and he could not see the end at a glance.
The ancient streets are connected by some large and small shops. The decoration of the shops also follows the ancient method. The facades of ancient wood, the signboards of Jingbu, and two lanterns hanging on the left and right of each shop.
Drinking with Chen Wanwan that night, Chen Wanwan mentioned that her son misses her. This time, she should go to see Kangkang when she goes back, so she should just buy the gift here.
There are a lot of gadgets here, and Xu Xingxing took a fancy to straw weaving. Just as he was about to walk to the straw weaving booth, Xu Xingxing moved his nose and smelled a sweet smell.
She turned around and saw that at the booth behind her, a woman was drawing a sugar man with a spoon of boiled sugar syrup.
Xu Xingxing is addicted to sweets, so he usually buys candy for himself when he goes to the supermarket. She walked to the sugar painting man, glanced at the pattern, picked a butterfly, and said to the woman in the booth with a smile.
"Draw me this."
The candy man finished quickly, and Xu Xingxing took the butterfly candy over after paying. The sugar syrup of the sugar man is brownish-yellow, and it is transparent under the light, which is very beautiful.
Xu Xingxing put the butterfly candy to his mouth, licked it lightly, and the corners of his eyes curved.
so sweet.
When Xu Xingxing was eating candy, the phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was Yan Jialin calling.
"Miss Jialin."
"Lin Weiyu is here, you can do her translation and follow the scene." Yan Jialin arranged.
Xu Xingxing made his tongue numb, but he reacted immediately and said, "Okay, where is it?"
"In the piano art room, Mr. Huai and Felix are there. Mr. Huai came here this time mainly to confirm the jewelry spokesperson with TIE." Yan Jialin briefly explained.
Huaijing came this time to be a spokesperson.
She thought he was here on vacation, but the company executives were not as leisurely as she thought.
"Okay, I'll go there right away." Xu Xingxing replied.
She remembered that when she was watching the tea ceremony in the tea art room, she could occasionally hear the sound of the guzheng playing twice. The piano art room seemed to be next to the tea art room.
"Lin Weiyu is the designated spokesperson for the Huai family, you should be cautious when you speak and do things." Yan Jialin warned at last.
Xu Xingxing understood what Yan Jialin meant. Lin Weiyu was the default spokesperson of the Huai's Group, so it must have something to do with the senior management of the Huai's Group. She is just a small translator in the Huai's Group's sub-group, and she doesn't dare to be sloppy in her treatment of Lin Weiyu.
Leaving the ancient street, Xu Xingxing walked towards the piano art room. Afraid of delaying the translation work and neglecting Lin Weiyu, she trotted all the way over. When he reached the door of the piano art room, Xu Xingxing calmed his breath, pushed open the door and walked in.
As soon as she arrived at the entrance, she heard the sound of Ling Ling pipa coming from the piano room. There is a screen between the entrance and the piano art room, and behind the screen someone is talking in German. The sound was very small, and was quickly involved in the sound of the lute.
There is a kind of aroma of musical instruments in the piano art room, the kind of heavy ancient wood aroma, light and pleasant, and soothing.
The ancients are indeed elegant.
Xu Xingxing walked through the entrance and walked in.
The layout of the piano art room and the tea art room are similar, but the performance stage is larger than that of the tea art room. Now on the stage, a woman in Hanfu is playing the pipa. Pipa covered half of her face, and she could only see her twinkling almond eyes, soft and affectionate, gentle and charming.
As soon as Xu Xingxing entered the door, Huaijing seemed to be half-sensed, his body did not move, but his eyes slanted over. She seemed to be running over, her breasts undulating slightly, and her skin was pale and red.
The woman is looking at the stage, her profile is pretty and gentle, and she is holding a candy man in her hand. Sugar Man casts a shadow in the light, and a black outline emerges, a butterfly missing a small wing.
The missing piece was obviously eaten by her.
"Like candy?" Huai Jing asked softly, looking at the candy man in her hand.
After recovering from the sound of the pipa, Xu Xingxing lowered his head and glanced at the sugar man in his hand, panicked in his eyes, said sorry in a low voice, then walked to the trash can at the entrance and threw the sugar man away.
After throwing the candy man back and the performance on the stand ended, Xu Xingxing bowed his head and said something to Huai Jing.
"I'll pick up Miss Lin from the dressing room."
There is a separate dressing room in the backstage. Xu Xingxing stood at the door and knocked on the door. Lin Weiyu's assistant opened the door.
Xu Xingxing smiled politely with his assistant, and then introduced himself: "Hello, I'm from the translation department of IO Group, and I'm here to translate for Miss Lin."
The assistant looked up at her, and said lightly, "Understood, just wait outside the door."
When he was done, he closed the door.
Since the other party asked to wait, Xu Xingkong did not urge. After all, Lin Weiyu is a star, so she still has to carry it.
Lin Weiyu was born in the draft.
She participated in a national audition program for a TV drama and won the fifth place in the country. That TV series was very popular back then, and she played the female No. 3 in it.
The character of the female No. 3 is quite in line with her own, plus the characters are lovable, Lin Weiyu is a little popular.
However, after this drama, she received several scripts but no popularity, and now she is in
Entertainment
, Lin Weiyu's coffee position is barely second-tier.
Tonight Yan Jialin said that Lin Weiyu was coming, but Xu Xingxing was stunned for a moment and quickly reacted. This is because Lin Weiyu is going to be the joint jewelry spokesperson of IO and TIE, and it has been spread before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
At that time, there was a lot of gossip in the company, saying that Lin Weiyu and Huaijing were related. Said that in order to support her, Huaijing gave her this second-tier starlet the opportunity to bring her popularity to the world.
At that time, Xu Xingxing and Huaijing had already established a bed partner relationship. When Chen Wanwan told her this gossip, she told Chen Wanwan that she didn't believe it. Chen Wanwan knew that she never paid attention to gossip, but she suddenly became interested in this matter and asked her if she knew the inside story.
Xu Xingxing naturally didn't know the inside story, but Huaijing picked her up for the night almost every day, and he struggled for a long time every night, so he probably didn't have the energy to have anything to do with Lin Weiyu.
Thinking of this, Xu Xingxing's face became slightly hot.
At this time, the dressing room door opened, Xu Xingxing heard the door open, got up and looked at Lin Weiyu, and smiled at her.
Lin Weiyu had already changed out of the Hanfu for the performance and only wore a long black dress. Jewelry from IO and ITE is worn on the neck, ears and wrists.
Her temperament is pure and her facial features are pure, while the joint jewelry of IO and TIE is more luxurious. She wears such a set, although it is a bit inconsistent, but also has a unique flavor. IO's people are not stupid, even though it was set by the White's, but if they smashed the signboard, they wouldn't use it.
Seeing Xu Xingxing, Lin Weiyu smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry for making you wait so long."
Xu Xingxing smiled lightly, walked to the front and said, "Miss Lin, please, Mr. Huai and the others are still waiting for you."
When Lin Weiyu was talking to her, he leaned closer to her, and Xu Xingxing could smell the smell of cigarettes on her body. Very light, overwhelmed by perfume smell.
Lin Weiyu took the character of a pure and beautiful girl, but she did not expect to smoke. But the stars in the entertainment industry are under a lot of pressure. Smoking and decompression are trivial things, as well as drug addiction.
It was getting late today. After Lin Weiyu went out, she briefly met Felix. Felix is not stingy in praising Lin Weiyu. When Xu Xingxing translated those different compliments to Lin Weiyu, Lin Weiyu was embarrassed and modest, and his face didn't even turn red.
Everyone chatted for a while and settled on Lin Weiyu's endorsement of jewelry. As soon as the endorsement was finalized, Lin Weiyu completed the task and was ready to catch up with the next announcement. Felix had a busy day and was ready to rest. Everyone was ready to leave.
After Xu Xingxing said goodbye to Felix and Lin Weiyu, the work was completed. She turned around and was about to leave. After a busy day, it was time for her to go back to rest.
However, as soon as she turned around, Huaijing, who was standing beside Felix, stopped her.
"Let's drop by, together."
Xu Xingxing paused and looked back.
After calling out Xu Xingxing, Huai Jing and Felix exchanged a few words in German. Huaijing and Felix said something about having fun tomorrow and seeing you later. Listening to that, it seemed like they would no longer be with Felix.
Felix was obviously having a good time today, hugged Huaijing and walked with his translator. After they left, Huai Jing walked over and stood beside her.
The tall figure of the man covered her, and Xu Xingxing felt a sense of oppression.
"Let's go."
Thinking that Huaijing came to Wencheng because of the spokesperson's business, Xu Xingxing didn't need to be a soldier. She pursed her lips and followed.
The man has long legs and walks very fast. Xu Xingxing has to jog behind to keep up. The two of them were speechless all the way, but they were really like strangers walking together.
But as he walked, Xu Xingxing noticed something was wrong. The route they are taking now is not the route back to her room. Xu Xingxing hurried two steps, followed Huaijing, and panted, "Mr. Huai, my room is not here..."
While the two were talking, they walked a little further. After hearing Xu Xingkong finish, Huaijing's expression did not change.
Xu Xingxing walked out with him, and the gentle light in her eyes made her breathe.
They reached the ancient street.
Xu Xingxing stood at the gate of the ancient street and looked up, the figure of the man had already arrived in front of the booth where the candy man was painted. The orange light from the lantern faintly sprinkled on him, enveloping him in that tenderness.
He looked down at the booth where the sugar man was painted, and his raised eyes moved with the sugar spoon in the hand of the booth owner. The profile of the side face is exquisite, like a layer of gold edging by the light, the long curled eyelashes tremble slightly, and the semicircular silhouette on the eyelid also moves.
The speed of painting the sugar man was very fast, and the stall owner handed it over after painting the sugar man. After the man thanked him in a deep voice, he took over the sugar man. At this moment, he turned his face away. The eyebrows are high, the peach blossom eyes are raised, the bridge of the nose is straight, and the deep facial features are shattered by the soft light, so charming that Xu Xingxing can't take his eyes away.
When his eyes met Xu Xingxing, the end of the man's eyes twitched, and the coldness in his eyes was neutralized by the gentleness of the light.
This smile made Xu Xingxing, who was standing in the same place, move in his heart. Her heart seemed to be knocked by something, and the sugar slag shattered on the ground, so sweet that she couldn't open her eyes.
When he walked in front of him, Xu Xingxing could clearly see the pattern of the sugar man in his hand, which was the butterfly she threw away in the piano art room. Xu Xingxing's eyes moved slightly, she watched the man hold a tissue and place a wooden stick, the slender knuckles of his fingers were slightly white, and then handed the sugar man to her.
Xu Xingxing took it over, put the sugar man to his mouth, and took it lightly. So sweet, so sweet that Xu Xingxing's heart softened. She was holding the candy man, and her round eyes were clear and translucent.
Huaijing looked down at her and warned, "Eating too much sugar will cause your teeth to hurt."
Speaking of this, Xu Xingxing admitted that she licked the sugar residue on her lips and said helplessly: "I often have a toothache from eating, but I still want to eat it."
Huaijing watched her biting the butterfly wings into pieces like a hamster, and said with a chuckle.
"same as me."
Xu Xingxing looked up at him with sugar.
Facing her gaze, Huai Jing's smile deepened, he said.
"I eat you so sweet that my teeth hurt, but I still want to eat it."
The teeth gnashing on the sugar hissed, Xu Xingxing's ears turned red, her eyes were flustered, she turned and walked towards the hall, saying, "It's time for me to go back to my room."
Xu Xingxing had just taken two steps when Huai Jing stopped her from behind.
"You left something you didn't bring with you."
"Ah" Xu Xingxing looked back blankly. After searching, he looked up at the man and asked, "What did you forget to bring?"
He walked to the woman's side, looked down at her, Huaijing pointed at himself with his index finger, and said, "Forgot to bring me."
