MTL - Little Madman’s Guide to Acting Good-Chapter 22
When Zhang Yazhi came in, she heard that Chen Qizhao had photographed a jade necklace for her, she was happy and distressed, "It will cost more to shoot this thing, don't get such an expensive thing next time, keep your own money Do business next time."
Chen Qizhao thought that this thing cost a lot, but the value of the thing is also high.
This jewelry looks ordinary, but it is actually a valuable item passed down by a big family in City B. It was only lost in the turbulent early years and turned to Mr. Xu Ziyun. . Chen Qizhao didn't know about this at first, but when he wanted to attack Lin Shizhong later in his last life, someone he knew at the time reminded him of one thing, which was related to this 'exquisite and full green'.
Lin Shizhong got a piece of jade jewelry at auction in his early years, which he has collected for a long time. Later, he invited the person from City B to visit the collection at home, and the person saw this jade jewelry unexpectedly. He mentioned that his grandmother lost a similar necklace in his early years, and that necklace is a very important token of love between grandmother and grandfather. Lin Shizhong gave the necklace to that person after learning about this, so he got on the boat of the boss, and the business expanded in City B with smooth sailing.
Chen Qizhao spent many years to bring down Lin Shizhong, among which a lot of time and energy was wasted because of the relationship between the boss. reasons included. If he hadn't come to participate in this auction, he still wouldn't know that the good talk between Lin Shizhong and the big boss circulating in the business field turned out to be a deliberate plan by Lin Shizhong.
Zhang Yazhi talked for a while and asked Chen Qizhao to meet her other uncles and aunts. Chen Qizhao was a little tired, and after rejecting her, went to rest and drink with Yan Kailin, and waited for the end of the party to go home to sleep.
Chen Qizhao's peripheral vision swept the field, and the two people who had just competed with him were no longer in their original positions... It's not hard to guess, with Lin Shizhong's sanctimonious temperament, it is impossible to compete with the juniors in person A piece of jade jewelry. If he had planned it long ago, it would be even less likely that he would photograph this collection too obviously, it would be too easy to reveal his purpose for this piece of jewelry, so it is very likely to be photographed by someone else's hands.
"Aren't you going to continue watching?" Yan Kailin had just seen a wave, and he wanted to go to his brother Yan Kaiqi to get a cool brand, but he was bombarded back after a while, "I Look at the jewelry necklace on the back."
Cheng Rong, Liu Kai and others also came.
Just after the incident, many people's eyes fell on Chen Qizhao, and they seemed to be curious about him, but observation returned to observation, seeing a group of rich second-generation gathered here, also Did not come up to climb nearly.
The chatting wine drank quickly, and the glasses of champagne on the table quickly ran out.
Cheng Rong got up and planned to go to the wine pool to get wine, when he happened to see the waiter near their table and waved.
There are few people sitting on the sofa, most of them are still at the charity auction in front, waiters with trays are waiting around, seeing Cheng Rong beckoning and coming over immediately, will be ready placed the champagne tray on the table and removed the empty glass from the table.
"But there are so many people here tonight, I just saw a few acquaintances." Liu Kai took the wine and said in a relaxed tone: "But those people have nothing to do with us, we can't play. Come together. Oh, by the way, I also saw your cousin."
"What does my cousin have to do with me?" Chen Qizhao has no feelings for other relatives of the Chen family. , I usually enjoy the convenience of relying on the Chen family tree, but when something really happens, none of it comes in handy.
In addition to visiting during the New Years, I usually ask for something when I come to my house.
To be an exaggeration, Chen Qizhao doesn't even remember the name of his cousin.
The waiter removed the empty glass in front of Chen Qizhao and put a glass of champagne in front of him.
Liu Kai suddenly said: "Oh yes! Lin Zi, I just saw that person!"
Yan Kailin: "Which one? Don't play dumb."
Chen Qizhao kept his eyes on the champagne glass in front of him, then glanced at the waiter, and the other side withdrew his hand.
He frowned slightly, picked up the champagne and shook it, and suddenly heard Liu Kai's voice next to him.
Liu Kai took a sip of wine and cleared his throat: "Who else is there! It's just Brother Shen, who you borrowed before! I just saw him in the garden, he was chatting with Shen Xuelan ."
Chen Qizhao caught a glimpse of Liu Kai's drinking action and took his eyes off the waiter.
He thought about it too much, and now it's not his last life, so he doesn't need to be defensive everywhere.
He focused on Liu Kai and asked, "Shen? You mean Shen Yuhuai?"
Shen Yuhuai rarely participates in this kind of activity. For Liu Kai and the others who often hang out on various occasions, the people in the circle have also met a lot. The Shen family is also the object of attention of many people in S City, but the Shen family is relatively low-key, and the most topical topic is Shen Xuelan, the outstanding strong woman of the Shen family. There is very little discussion about Shen Yuhuai.
Shen Yuhuai himself is not a character that likes lively occasions. He is deeply involved in academic research, and there is not much discussion about matters related to him. It should be the family's request.
Liu Kai said: "Yes, yes, doesn't he rarely participate in activities in S City? I was surprised when I saw him! Now I don't know where I went, but I will definitely not admit my mistake. people!"
"Isn't it?" Yan Kailin looked at it, stood up and looked for someone: "I'm going?! My brother didn't tell me about it, and he didn't go to the lab this week?"
A lot of people came to the party, and it was difficult to find someone in the crowd. Chen Qizhao's eyes swept in the direction of Huayuankou, and he didn't see Shen Yuhuai. He was about to withdraw his gaze, but suddenly saw a single figure standing by another window. He was startled for a moment, only to see that the man turned his head, and the eyes of the two suddenly met.
Shen Yuhuai seemed to notice him and nodded at him from the air.
Chen Qizhao paused for a while, then lowered his head to drink champagne, then raised his head again after a while.
And Shen Yuhuai's eyes have already fallen out of the window.
Yan Kailin didn't find anyone, just sat down and saw Chen Qizhao stand up.
Chen Qizhao said: "You guys play."
Others: "?"
Everyone didn't know, so they watched Chen Qizhao get up and crossed them and walked into the wine pool. When passing by the waiter, he put down the champagne in his hand, took a glass of orange juice from the other party's tray, and then went straight to a certain Go in one direction.
In Chen Qizhao's memory, Shen Yuhuai did not come to such occasions very often.
The Shen family's business in S City is not small, and it is also very important in S City, but even so, Shen Yuhuai rarely comes out. Not to mention that the public institution kept it secret, and it took a lot of effort to even meet him.
It may also be because of this that he, who was arrogant and playful in his early years, would never remember Shen Yuhuai who seldom showed up and never knew him.
When he met Shen Yuhuai and became friends later, he also regretted not getting to know him earlier.
Chen Qizhao took back his short thoughts and walked towards Shen Yuhuai.
As a friend, it seems that it is not too abrupt to meet Shen Yuhuai directly.
The distance is not that far. When Chen Qizhao arrived, he saw a familiar elder.
He restrained his bad temper, tried his best to appear polite, and greeted the other party.
Father Shen just came over to talk to his son, and before he said a word, he saw the youngest son of the Chen family coming over and greeted him.
He looked at each other in surprise, smiled and said, "Is it Qi Zhao?"
Chen Qizhao: "Hello, Uncle."
The Chen family has a good relationship with the Shen family. This relationship was made by Chen Jianhong and the Shen family in the early years. The number of encounters in the business field was not large, so until the Chen family went bankrupt, Chen Qizhao was not so impressed with the Shen family.
In addition to the mischievous Lin family, the Shen family who helped the Chen family the most in the past life.
Chen Qizhao still remembers Uncle Shen who was wearing a black suit at his father's funeral. When other people smiled at him with the attitude of watching the fun, only Uncle Shen came to him and said something.
He said that now the Chen family can only rely on you, and you cannot retreat or fall.
At that time, Chen Qizhao did not understand the meaning of this sentence, and he only regarded the other party as being polite and sympathetic at the funeral. He did not have a deep memory of the Shen family, even if Uncle Shen showed kindness, he later He was more inclined to the Lin family, whom he had always been friends with, and even was bewitched by Lin Shizhong when the Shen family extended a helping hand, and rejected an elder who was willing to provide real help.
But even so, the Shen family finally helped him when he needed help the most.
Father Shen cares about the younger generation. After chatting with Chen Qizhao, Yu Guang glanced at Shen Yuhuai and said, "Are you here to find Xiaohuai?"
Chen Qizhao: "I just saw Brother Huai here, come and say hello."
"Then uncle will not disturb you young people chatting." Father Shen patted Chen Qizhao on the shoulder, looked at Chen Jianhong in the distance, and smiled: "My father and I are also I haven't seen you for a long time, go and talk to him."
As soon as Father Shen left, only Shen Yuhuai and Chen Qizhao were left.
Shen Yuhuai glanced at the orange juice in Chen Qizhao's glass, and politely praised: "I just noticed you, this suit suits you very well."
Chen Qizhao paused: "Brother Huai too, it's the first time I see you in a suit."
Shen Yuhuai's body is tall and straight, and when she wears a black suit and glasses, she gives a completely different look.
Chen Qizhao paused for a moment before realizing what Shen Yuhuai was congratulating.
He said thank you, and he began to quickly think about whether there was any sudden performance in his mind. Fortunately, when he met Zhang Yazhi today, he calmed down a little, and at most he acted in front of Lin Shizhong once.
There were so many people at the scene that Shen Yuhuai might not be able to notice him, and it shouldn't be too bad.
A little bit arrogant at the time of the auction...? But also okay.
"Do you like jade?" Shen Yuhuai asked casually.
Chen Qizhao said: "No, I took it for my mother."
The two stood by the window, away from the lively crowd, Chen Qizhao took a sip of orange juice and thought absently about the next topic. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw Shen Yuhuai reaching out to him, grabbing his shoulder a little, and taking him two steps forward.
A passing lady accidentally slapped her foot, and the champagne in her hand spilled on Chen Qizhao's feet.
If it was not sunk by Huai La just now, the champagne would be Chen Qizhao.
"I'm so sorry," the lady said.
Chen Qizhao said nothing, and the other party left quickly, seemingly going to the bathroom to clean up his appearance.
This interruption, Chen Qizhao got a little closer to Shen Yuhuai, and smelled Shen Yuhuai.
—Still familiar with mint.
Because he often goes in and out of the laboratory to remove various chemical agents, the most important thing on Shen Yuhuai's body is the smell of disinfectant, followed by this mint fragrance, perhaps it should be said that it is a mint deodorant , sometimes used to cover up the abrupt smell of medicine on the body.
He felt calm.
In my last life, it could be said that I had no friends at first.
There was almost no one around him. At that time, there was no object of complaint around him. Even Yan Kailin, who had a better relationship, was driven back abroad and cut off contact because of trouble. During the darkest period, he was bombarded by the shareholders of the group every day. Families repressing quarrels, swearing from all directions, pressure from never-ending trash talk.
At that time, he still retained the last trace of innocence until he was pushed to the door.
Welcome to the light of the media and ushered in the darkest day of his life. From then on, his life was out of control until he met Shen Yuhuai.
When he was about to be engulfed by the darkness, Shen Yuhuai stretched out his hand to him, and the tide-like emotions found a breakthrough.
So he likes to chat with Shen Yuhuai very much, even if he just said one or two meaningless words, the other party will not care about his nonsense, but seriously reply to his every nonsense message.
Chen Qizhao didn't think that he liked the taste of mint before, and even couldn't feel the freshness brought by mint in his early years. It was not until after Shen Yuhuai's death that he subtly noticed a change in this feeling. He replaced his shower gel with the scent of mint, in an attempt to use a scent to numb himself and seek a moment of tranquility.
Suddenly, all kinds of pictures appeared in Chen Qizhao's mind, and the strange cold seemed to climb from the soles of his feet.
No...nothing, a certain image on the wine table flashed in his mind, the waiter who kept avoiding his gaze.
Shen Yuhuai caught a glimpse of the lady walking away, and when he retracted his gaze, he happened to see Yan Kailin and others who were looking at this side secretly not far away. He just wanted to remind Chen Qizhao that someone seemed to be there. When he waited for him, he noticed that Chen Qizhao, who was standing in front of him, lowered his head, and the skin on the side of his ears was a strange red.
Drinking too much?
Shen Yuhuai frowned slightly and asked, "Are you uncomfortable?"
Chen Qizhao suddenly grabbed his wrist, he blinked and looked down at the patterned floor tiles on the ground, like a kaleidoscope layered upon layers, and suddenly he seemed to see a wide-open fang , his ears were filled with unhindered abuse, and he smelled the smell of rotten and disgusting rotten eggs.
Shen Yuhuai noticed the difference, his expression changed instantly, he said solemnly: "Chen Qizhao, can you hear me?"
The layers of fantasies in Chen Qizhao's eyes stimulated his brain, and some scenes overlapped with the previous life too realistically.
He tried his best to remain calm, ignoring the tinnitus, and expressed his appeal to Shen Yuhuai: "help me find a quiet place, I drank the wrong thing."
