Chapter 4

◎Are you so afraid of me? (Revision) ◎

The second floor of the club is different from the lobby. It has the same membership system, with higher thresholds, strict conditions, and a limit on the number of people. Only senior members will withdraw, and new places will be filled.

Shen Lie came back a few minutes after Jiang Da, with almost no expression on his face. He took the powdered billiard cue handed by the waiter and leaned over to tee off. It was no different from when he usually went out to answer the phone and smoked. After a few minutes, What he can do is not necessarily special care for that woman. Jiang Da looked at his expression and told what happened just now in a joking tone. He did not mention Shen Lie, which was not someone he could talk about.

As for Shen Lie, he didn't react and just played ball on his own.

"Chen Jing'an? Qin Er's precious girlfriend?"

Jiang Da laughed and said, "She's good-looking and has a temperament. If it were me, I'd be precious too."

It's a pity that she's very arrogant and won't get into trouble.

The insider held the club and pointedly said: "That girl is different from the one next to you. This girl is a serious girlfriend. It took Qin Er more than half a year to catch up with her. If you make friends with someone, you What do Qin Er think?"

This sentence made the tall girl next to Jiang Da unhappy. She asked half angrily and half strangely: "Why is it different? What am I?"

Jiang Dal was happy and held her shoulders and rubbed them. : "You, you are an improper girlfriend."

"Disgusting!"

Everyone laughed.

"Qin Er is serious this time. According to Qin Yuanming, his younger brother has the idea of ​​​​taking her back. He is thinking of getting married." "

Hey, do you like him more than that little painter?"

Everyone here knows more or less about this past incident. A few years ago, Qin Yinian almost broke up with his family because of this little painter. In the end, the little painter was sent away. Qin Yinian, who was cut off from his financial source, did not last long. I came back from the ground and became much more honest from now on.

"It's hard to say, but it seems that after the little painter, he is the most attentive one."

"First love always means something different."

"What's the difference? Do you still remember the name of your first love?"

Miao was asked Smiling, thinking: "Which one are you asking?"

"?"

"Everyone is first love."

"Damn it, you are still shameless."

"..."

"What's your name?" Low voice A cold voice suddenly sounded.

Jiang Da's face was red, and he stopped when he heard the voice while he was still boasting. He turned to look at Shen Lie. He leaned down deeply, spread and curved his fingers, and slowly adjusted the angle of the club against his tight jawline.

The people in the room looked at each other, wondering who he was asking, but one of the smarter ones took the lead and tentatively asked: "That little painter?"

There was no response, no yes, no no.

So he boldly answered: "Xu Ruoqing."

Shen Lie didn't say anything, just looked calm, and hit the ball. The cue ball hit the edge of the table first, drew a small acute angle, changed its route, hit the black ball, and the black ball hit the yellow ball. The ball bones rolled, and with a soft and crisp sound, the two balls fell into the net one after another.

A crisp hook.

"Okay!"

The audience clapped and cheered.

—It

was already late when I left the club. The night outside the car window looked like a damp ink painting. The street was damp, and the orange light projected had irregular edges.

Assistant Ji Hong reported tomorrow's schedule. The work schedule was full, just like other times. Shen Lie didn't have a girlfriend, and his living time and working time were not clear. After the report, Shen Lie suddenly raised his eyes and asked about Qin Yuanming. Qin Yuanming, the eldest son of Qin, wanted to treat Shen Lie to a meal not just in a day or two, but it took too long, so the assistant didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, the boss took the initiative to bring it up, and Ji Hong reacted and asked if he wanted to make arrangements.

"Yes."

Shen Lie leaned on the back of the chair, Qing Jun's face hidden in the shadows, and his facial features became more three-dimensional.

Qin Yuanming had always wanted to get in touch with the Shen family, but he had been searching for a long time without any news. Unexpectedly, he suddenly got a response, saying that he had time for dinner and that he would arrange the location.

This meal was chosen in the most luxurious area of ​​the capital. Qin Yuanming was very sincere and knew that Shen Lie had never seen anything before, so he delved into his preferences and knew that Shen Lie had his own taste in food, so the ingredients were airlifted that day. Ensure freshness, minimalist cooking methods, and maintain the original flavor of the ingredients as much as possible. Of course, choose the best vintage and the right time to sober up the wine.

Qin Yuanming is not bad in ability and has the ability to assess the situation. When he mentioned the current development of the Qin family, he did not brag arrogantly or show excessive self-effacing hypocrisy. He brought the topic to cooperation at the right time. The Qin family was good, but they lacked funds. In time, it would be another time. What a scene... He talked a lot, but Shen Lie rarely followed the conversation. His attention was on the ingredients and wine.

"The one from 1995 smells of roses and leather, with a delicate and gentle front note and a strong and full base note." Qin Yuanming did his homework on this area.

"Mr. Qin has studied wine?"

"It's just a matter of following one's preferences. It's embarrassing in front of Mr. Shen."

The two looked at each other and smiled. Shen Lie put down his wine glass, wiped his lips slowly, and mentioned In Optoelectronic Technology, Qin Yuanming also knew that Shen Lie had purchased 80% of its shares with a large sum. From then on, he would firmly control the upstream and downstream core links of new energy and semiconductors, affecting the national situation. The Qin family did not have the ability to share a piece of the cake, but if Shen Lie is willing that as long as a small piece leaks out from between his fingers, it will be enough to rewrite the future development of the Qin family.

Thinking of this, Qin Yuanming's heart surged.

When they got to the crux of the conversation, Shen Lie changed his tone and the topic changed to Qin Yinian: "I saw Qin Er a few days ago. You two brothers don't look much alike."

This sentence was very sudden, even for Qin Yuanming. Unable to react, he was stunned for a while before agreeing with a smile and saying that his younger brother was not very lively. He and Shen Lie were obviously the same age, but their results were completely different. He was still a child at heart, and it was a headache to have no certainty about his love for fun: "I don't know when my parents and I will be able to worry less?"

Shen Lie did not answer directly and took a sip of wine. The fragrant aroma lingered on his lips and teeth for a long time. The wine was indeed good. He tilted the pomegranate and gently shook it. Colorful wine, long hanging cup, wine slowly flowing back.

After a long time, he said:

"You're not young anymore."

It's time to go out and sharpen yourself and make some achievements of your own.

-

Chen Jing'an had already taken a shower when Qin Yinian called. His hair was not completely dry, and it was half wet on his shoulders. His plain face had clear pupils.

She didn't tell anyone what happened in the club that day, and nothing happened afterwards, so she gradually put the incident behind her.

At this moment, she applied facial cream against herself on the screen of her mobile phone. Qin Yinian looked at it quietly for a long time. With a smile on his lips, he stretched out his finger and tapped the screen: "My wife is so beautiful."

Chen Jing'an stopped and his cheeks were lightly pink. Meaning: "Don't scream."

"Are you urging me, are you anxious about waiting?" Qin Yinian smiled disapprovingly.

"I didn't."

Chen Jing'an was a little helpless.

Qin Yinian followed with a few words of teasing, then suddenly paused and looked melancholy: "My eldest brother talked to me the day before yesterday and wanted me to take over a brand new project."

Chen Jing'an closed her cream and looked at him: "What's wrong? It's not very good. ?"

"It's very good, but this project is not in this city. If I take over, I will go to other cities."

"Where?"

"Bincheng, Jing'an, I really don't want to be separated from you."

The same goes for Chen Jing'an , she opened the map software. It was a coastal city 1,200 kilometers away. After going there, she couldn't meet as she pleased. But no matter how reluctant she was, she still hoped that he could do something as he wished: "Well, it doesn't matter. I have time. I'll come and see you."

"Let me do it. Master Chen just needs to practice with peace of mind." Qin Yinian even imagined the future with some excitement, "This project is not small. If I can do it well, my parents and eldest brother will be happy. When they are happy, they can talk about anything. When I come back, we will meet my parents. They will definitely like you if you are so kind. "

" Then we will get married and have as many children as you want..."

Qin Yinian described. The future is too smooth and beautiful, Chen Jing'an smiled lightly.

Ruan Ling came out of the shower, her hair still wrapped in a dry towel. When she heard the news that the two were about to live in a different place, she reminded him: "Long-distance relationships are very dangerous. Have you two really considered it?"

Chen Jing'an held her chin and tilted her head. Looking at Ruan Ling, she hadn't thought about it yet, so she subconsciously said that she believed in Qin Yinian.

Qin Yinian could also hear it, and he looked like he suddenly realized something and began to think deeply. After a while, his tone was pretending to be serious: "Then please ask Miss Ruan to take some time to make the Yingying Yanyan around Jing'an calm down, and wait for me and Jing'an For the wedding, you sit at the main table."

"..."

"Yes." Ruan Ling made a salute and said, "I promise to complete the task." Chen Jing'an

raised her head and laughed at the two singing together, chatting for a while before hanging up the phone.

Ruan Ling dried her hair and returned to the dormitory. She also wanted to talk to Chen Jing'an about long-distance relationships. Qin Yinian was rich and beautiful, and he was popular everywhere. She was worried that something would happen if the two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time. Chen Jing'an Still saying that, she trusted Qin Yinian. In other words, if Qin Yinian couldn't do this, he couldn't be trusted.

"You can be open-minded." Ruan Ling shrugged. Yes, Chen Jing'an has good conditions, so she naturally has the confidence. Her boyfriend is considerate and has a good family background, and she is protected by industry leaders in her career. She has unlimited future. She is envious from the bottom of her heart. .

"By the way, how is Professor Zhou's health?"

"Not very good."

Chen Jing'an shook his head. Zhou Zhengqing has been suffering from heart palpitations recently, and in severe cases, he has difficulty breathing. However, the teacher still insists on not performing the surgery. He does not want to delay the teaching progress and plans to postpone it until the summer vacation. .

"As I get older, I always have some physical problems. Professor Zhou is still working so hard now. I don't know whether it is good or bad."

Chen Jing'an is also worried.

She received a call from the hospital at night a few weeks later. The nurse told her that Zhou Zhengqing was ill and was hospitalized. Zhou Zhengqing has no children. His teacher's wife died of illness a few years ago, so he lives alone. He has been teaching for decades and has always treated his students as his own children. Chen Jing'an didn't even think about it, and immediately packed up and rushed to the hospital. .

Zhou Zhengqing had a heart problem, coronary heart disease, and needed coronary artery bypass surgery. It was a major operation that took a lot of time, so Zhou Zhengqing repeatedly postponed the operation.

Chen Jing'an informed the brothers and sisters in the group about the situation. Some of the brothers and sisters were in other places and some were abroad and could not come back. She could only entrust Chen Jing'an to take good care of her teacher and must persuade the teacher to perform surgery. If the teacher still insisted, They crowded together on the bedside of the ward and used the extraordinary method of bombardment with a sea of ​​people.

This time the incident happened so suddenly that she didn't have time to prepare many things. She only had time to buy a fruit basket from the fruit shop near the hospital. She planned to go downstairs to buy all daily necessities after seeing the teacher. She hurried over there and before she entered the ward, she heard Conversation inside.

The male voice was deep, as if he had heard it somewhere.

"It's really troublesome for you this time."

"You're welcome. My father always told me to be careful on the way. If I show any slightest care, I won't have to come back to this house."

Zhou Zhengqing smiled.

Chen Jing'an didn't expect that there were other people, but at this time he pushed open the door of the ward without thinking. The teacher had already put on hospital clothes and was sitting on the bed. , she was startled for a moment.

Zhou Zhengqing's face was thin and pale. He smiled and waved to her. He didn't know that the two of them had met before. He was the first to introduce: "Jing'an, I came here to meet Mr. Shen. Shen Lie, the son of an old friend of mine."

"Chen Jing'an, my beloved disciple ." "

Shen Lie was wearing a suit jacket this time. His broad shoulders supported the fabric, and he was not too thin to look empty. His curved arms vaguely showed muscle lines. The buttons on the collar of the white shirt inside were tight, and the fabric was smooth and unwrinkled. He has deep eyebrows, looks polite and graceful, and has a graceful appearance.

"Hello, Miss Chen."

A friendly, polite smile.

However, Chen Jing'an felt that the blood in his body was flowing backwards, his steps moved slightly, and he got together a little helplessly. The scene that day was indeed not friendly. Why did he appear here? Was it just a coincidence?

"Hello, Mr. Shen."

She said as calmly as possible.

"I told the hospital a long time ago that they don't need to notify you, and it will cost you another trip." Zhou Zhengqing used to be a famous strict teacher. The older he gets, the gentler he becomes. Senior brothers and sisters often lament that they were born at the wrong time. Their little junior sister is The most favored.

Chen Jing'an walked in and placed the fruit basket beside the bedside table. He frowned and said in a complaining tone: "You also said that it is very dangerous for you to faint this time. My brothers and sisters are very worried about you. I must persuade you to move." Surgery."

"It's not that serious. Don't delay the performance." Zhou Zhengqing smiled nonchalantly. "I have agreed to the surgery. It will be done in a week."

"You finally figured it out?" Surprise. It's just that Chen Jing'an behaves more reservedly, and she always feels uncomfortable when outsiders are around.

"It was Shen Lie who helped. He came forward to contact the authoritative experts in this field. It was difficult to schedule the surgery, so I didn't bother."

"I don't dare to claim the credit. Where did I get this face? The other party has been your fan for many years. I knew I was going to perform surgery on you, so I happily agreed." Shen Lie spoke in a timely manner, with a calm tone, and the compliments did not seem false when they came out of his mouth. He coaxed Zhou Zhengqing into submission with a few words.

Chen Jing'an was about to go downstairs to buy daily necessities, but the teacher told her that the items had been bought by Shen Lie's driver, so she had to listen to the two chatting in silence.

Shen Lie had a plan to promote traditional culture and asked Zhou Zhengqing for advice. Zhou Zhengqing had always been interested in the inheritance and development of traditional culture. He talked eloquently and even said with a smile that it could be used by students in their school and that more young people should be given it. Chance.

Chen Jing'an listened and inevitably thought of nothing.

If she hadn't met Shen Lie before, she would have mistakenly thought that he was some kind of humble and courteous gentleman. The more gentle and gentle he behaved, the more incredible she felt. She could see clearly that what lay dormant under the white and pure skin was a green-faced and fanged creature. Jackal.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Zhengqing was also tired.

"It's getting late. Could you please take Jing'an back to school again? It's too late. I don't trust her as a girl."

Chen Jing'an was peeling an apple. Hearing this, his hand holding the fruit knife paused, and the peel broke. He opened it and almost cut his finger. He still looked up calmly and smiled reluctantly: "No, it's still early. I'll take the subway back."

"It's still a long way from the subway. I don't worry about you being alone."

"Teacher..." Chen Jing'an was still thinking about how to refuse without being rude and for the right reasons.

"Mr. Zhou, I think I should look like I can eat people."

There were heavy shadows at the end of Shen Lie's eyes when she smiled. Perhaps it was due to the lighting in the ward or psychological reasons. She always felt that this gentle smile made her shudder.

Chen Jing'an pursed her lips unconsciously.

This is a bit confusing.

Zhou Zhengqing was confused: "Who are you eating?"

"Why else would this classmate Chen be so afraid of me?" He looked away steadily, his dark eyes obscured by drooped eyelids, and his voice was lazy and unfocused.

"She has a calm and reserved temperament, thin skin, and is embarrassed." Zhou Zhengqing looked at Chen Jing'an, "Jing'an, don't be afraid. He happened to be on his way home. I can rest assured that you arrive at school safely."

Now, she refused again, It's like she's really afraid of him.
