Chapter 8

It was already the end of the year when Xu Zhi saw Fei Nanzhou again. Fei Nanzhou was going to Hong Kong to handle a big case, and she happened to be there on a business trip. Something happened to the French translator he brought with him and he couldn't be there as scheduled, so Hua Rui contacted her.

During this week of being stranded in Hong Kong, Xu Zhi only saw him once in private.

However, something actually happened during the day that day, which caused them to have a deeper intersection.

The reason was that when she and Shen Di came back from dinner, they passed by the curved Western food area and happened to hear someone talking about him.

"Is it true? You can call two female stars with just one phone call? It's a lot of fun."

"It's absolutely true. There are famous people in the industry. One of them is recently acting in the movie "The Romance of the Qing Dynasty" "It 's quite popular."

Xu Zhi couldn't stand it anymore: "How can you talk so much about what you heard? Do you know him? Why would you ruin other people's reputation by talking like this?"

Hu Hao was chatting for fun, but he was startled when he heard the rebuttal. He thought he had met someone close to Fei Nanzhou. When he looked closely, he saw that it was her, Huakang's little guy, and he suddenly felt worried.

One person said sarcastically: "You are so eager to defend others, do you think you are interested in them?"

Another person said: "I'm afraid they don't think highly of you. The young masters from the capital have a very good vision. And to be honest, they are like this Do you really think that you are so polite on the outside? Zhi Zhi, you are still young and need more experience. People who have nothing to do with you don't need to defend yourself like this."

Xu Zhi was trembling with anger.

For a moment, she really wanted to rush forward and beat them up even if she didn't want this job anymore.

At this time, a voice came in from behind, probably with a smile: "What are you talking about, so lively?"

The voice was low and magnetic, like aged wine, and there seemed to be a hint of intoxicating fragrance in the breeze. However, it would be terrifying to sound it on such an occasion, and the horror effect is at full level.

Turning back, I saw Fei Nanzhou in a white shirt walking slowly from behind them, with a suit hanging on his arm. When he glanced at them, a smile line appeared on the side of his nose and lips, and then Cai and another partner walked past them while laughing and talking.

Several people's backs were a little stiff, including Xu Zhi, who stood up for him, and his face was burning like needles.

After they were far away, the partner smiled and teased him: "You won't pursue it?"

Fei Nanzhou smiled and continued: "You have to take care of everything, are you busy?"

"Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation?"

"This is a bit of a peach. What reputation can be ruined by scandal? Besides, you don’t know what my reputation is outside?" He snorted with a hint of laughter.

The partner laughed loudly. He had heard about Fei Nanzhou's bad reputation in the early years. It was said that he was a former military academy student and that I was a big shot in the capital. With his father, he was domineering in Nanjing and no one dared to mess with him. He thought he was an arrogant and domineering second generation ancestor, but when he met him, it was completely different from what he imagined, so he felt that the rumors were not credible.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Zhou Xing from Huarui found her and photographed a document in front of her.

Xu Zhi took it and looked at it, and found that some professional business terms were circled. She was not sure, so she apologized and came to knock on his door.

At night, the corridor on the top floor was very quiet. The floor was covered with thick sound-absorbing carpets, and there were only a few dim downlights separated by a few steps.

Xu Zhi stood there with her head lowered, her feet, which were not used to wearing high heels, being squeezed a little uncomfortable.

My mind was racing with thoughts of the day's events, and I couldn't help but feel anxious. I leaned against the wall and took a breath.

The door opened and Fei Nanzhou stood at the door.

He had already washed himself, there were still wet marks on his temples, and he had also changed his shirt.

He glanced at her as if confirming, then looked away without stopping.

"Come in." He turned and entered the door.

Only then did Xu Zhi go in anxiously.

I thought he lived in a presidential suite, but it turned out that the specifications were similar to the one she lived in. The only difference was that he lived alone and they lived alone.

Xu Zhi looked around for a moment and found that he was still in the habit of drinking some wine at night as before. There were two extinguished cigarette butts in the ashtray next to a stack of documents. The air purifier was always on and there was a lot of water in the room. It has no taste, just a light fragrance.

A cool scent, not like a perfume.

If you smell it carefully, it smells a bit like ink.

"He smokes and drinks." Xu Zhi couldn't help blurting out.

Fei Nanzhou was stunned for a moment and found it funny.

He was actually taught a lesson by a little girl. Moreover, because her tone was too natural and familiar, he did not refute her immediately, so he missed the opportunity and had no choice but to give up.

He leaned over and emptied the cigarette butts in the ashtray and replaced them with new crystal mud.

Xu Zhi said: "Documents."

He pulled out one from the bottom, pressed it in front of her with his portable lighter, and tapped it lightly with his slender fingers.

Xu Zhi walked over naturally and stared at him for a while. When he raised his head, he realized that the two of them were very close.

His handsome face was close at hand, with handsome eyebrows and deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and a pair of slightly drooped phoenix eyes, forming a slender and shallow fold.

To be fair, he looks like a very gentle and well-educated type. Only those who are familiar with him know how terrifying he can be when he gets angry.

When she was a child, he didn't come to pick her up after school because she had something to do, so he asked Han Ping to pick her up. However, when Han Ping met an acquaintance, he forgot to look at her, and she disappeared when he turned around. Fei Nanzhou was so angry that he hung Han Ping up with a telephone cord and whipped him. Later, she called him back and said in a coquettish voice that she was eating popsicles at Aunt Liu's house, so the matter was dropped.

Xu Zhi was a little afraid of him when she was a child. She was most afraid of failing the exam after the exam. He would ask her in detail about her homework, why she only got such a small score, and what she had been doing recently... This was worse than scolding her. It's scary, like putting her in a vat and slowly cooking her.

But she couldn't argue with him. If she did, he could calmly educate you for two hours without stopping.

Xu Zhi lowered his head silently, corrected everything he pointed out, checked it for him, and apologized: "I'll print a new copy for you later."

Fei Nanzhou nodded and leaned on the sofa. Closed his eyes.

Xu Zhi waited for a while and saw that he had nothing else to ask, so she said, "Then I'm leaving."

When he was about to go out, he thought of something, stopped again, and finally warned him, "Smoking and alcohol are harmful to the body."

He finally He opened his eyes and glanced at her.

In fact, this glance does not contain any special meaning, only a touch of exploration.

But his naturally long and narrow eyes are sharp and upward. When he stares at a person, he is sharp, dark, majestic, and always has a kind of thoughtfulness.

Xu Zhi felt like her heart was pounding, as if she had fallen into a bottomless well, and even her breathing was somewhat sluggish.

Not sure if he saw something or sensed something, Xu Zhi was about to leave.

Fei Nanzhou spoke at this time, his voice clear and pleasant: "Why do you want to speak for me?"

Xu Zhi's footsteps stopped abruptly.

She didn't look back, her back stiff.

He didn't rush to ask, and looked at her quietly from a distance, but Xu Zhi's aura of being in a position of power for a long time still made Xu Zhi panic.

What's even more alarming is that he accidentally revealed the secret hidden in his heart.

He was dormant in the backlight, and the light was so dark that Xu Zhi could not clearly see the expression on his face at that moment, but she could feel his deep gaze wandering around her face like an inquiring one.

For a moment, her heart wanted to jump out of her chest, she was so nervous as she had never been before.

Fortunately, Shen Qian knocked on the door and came in, handing him a special plane: "Mr. Fei, your phone number."

This phone call should be very important. Fei Nanzhou only glanced at it and went to the balcony with his phone. Xu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and ran away quickly.

-Xu

Zhi didn’t have any important work after that, and just stayed in the company doing routine things.

A few days ago, it snowed again in Sanhuan, and the white snow particles floated in the air like salt.

Mu Yao asked her to go skiing, but Xu Zhi was a little hesitant. She poked her head at the window and looked outside: "I can't skate, and it's so cold-" As soon as she stretched out her hand, she caught the dripping water from her head. A drop of snow water quickly shrank back.

"Come on! Can't you learn?" So he dragged her away the next day.

We went to a ski resort in Changping. On the top of the mountain, it covers a large area and has ten ski trails. The glass room on the top of the mountain was filled with heat and snow particles were flying outside the window.

"So you and Senior Shang are brothers and sisters? Then why did you become a translator before?" At the dinner table, among the groups of people who unexpectedly gathered together was Hang Jiaze. From the moment they met, his eyes were glued to her. Never came down, like a pug.

Xu Zhi smiled and spoke concisely: "I'm not good at academics and can't do very professional technical work."

She has an outstanding appearance and a clean temperament. Her small cheeks are as clear as jade in the sunlight, and no flaws can be seen.

When you laugh, it seems that you can forget all the troubles in the world.

When I first saw her, I felt that she was unparalleled in beauty. At first glance, she looked very beautiful, but upon closer inspection, it was like looking at flowers through fog, unable to see clearly. Her every frown and smile could be either happy or angry. His eyes are affectionate when he looks at a dog, and his casual smile feels like he is smiling at himself, which makes people's breathing stop.

Hang Jiaze was stunned for a while, and it wasn't until someone shook him that he came back to his senses and said hurriedly: "You are too humble. I have seen the business show you translated. The translation is really good, and the temperament and image are better. Of course, I am better than It’s much better to watch on TV.”

“It’s just a small event, nothing like that...”

There is a cafe on the top of the mountain for rest.

There is no one near the corner. It has been vacant all year round. The separate private room seems to be always prepared for someone.

Today there are guests.

"Sorry, I'm late. The roads are blocked by heavy snow, and the Third Ring Road area is extremely congested." Shang Xiuping walked in, smiled apologetically at him, stretched out the chair opposite and sat down.

Fei Nanzhou didn't even raise his head. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "Full calculation, 27 minutes and 5 seconds."

Shang Xiuping was startled and realized that he was talking about his late time. He couldn't help laughing and said, "That's not mine."

There is a pot of brewed tea on the table. After brewing for a long time, the leaves stretch and the tea soup becomes dark in color, rising and falling on the surface of the pot.

Shen Qian leaned over and filled the cup for the two of them. He shared a cup first and gave it to Shang Xiuping: "Mr. Shang, please."

It was just a small talk, and his interest was somewhat waning. Fei Nanzhou took a sip of tea boredly, raised his eyebrows, and looked down the mountain casually.

There were people coming and going on the pure white snow path, not only skiers but also snowball fights. A small fiery red figure stood out. She was obviously wearing thick ski clothes. Even from such a distance, Fei Nanzhou recognized her at a glance. .

He found it incredible at the time, but when he thought about it later, he realized that she was probably too stupid.

Look at all the people in this place, who is like her, taking three steps and falling once every two steps, as clumsy as a little penguin.

-Skiing

was much more difficult than Xu Zhi imagined, and she made a lot of jokes.

After falling too many times, she didn't dare to slip anymore. She stood aside tremblingly, looking at her companions from time to time. Everyone was having a great time and no one paid any attention to her.

Perhaps her clumsy appearance was really out of place and attracted a lot of attention. And the pretty but clumsy little girl was always looking for people.

Several young people passed by her on skateboards. Some whistled at her, while others circled around her with smiles.

Xu Zhi didn't want to talk to them and turned to leave, but a group of people cooperated and surrounded her.

"Bang -" A snowball hit her and exploded at her feet.

Xu Zhi backed away in shock and sat down on the snow.

Several people burst into laughter.

Another snowball formed a parabola in the air and hit her directly.

Xu Zhi closed her eyes in fear.

The snowball missed her. When she was still two meters away, she was accurately hit by another snowball thrown halfway, and exploded in mid-air.

It was just a joke, and I didn't want to make a big deal out of it. A few young people chatted and ran away in a hurry.

Xu Zhi turned around and saw Fei Nanzhou standing on the hillside not far away. He was too far away, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly. The cold wind carried white snow particles and sprinkled them on his broad and majestic shoulders.

At that moment, she couldn't explain what she felt in her heart, but she felt inexplicably safe.

She suddenly remembered that many years ago, he gently held her hand through the alleys to buy candy, and the fragrance of gardenias wafted in the wind.

His hands were warm and firm, and he lowered his head and asked her with a smile: "You eat so much candy, your teeth will rot."

"Then you will buy it for me?" She raised her face proudly, "Be careful, I will report it to my mother. You are so ignorant, you are the main culprit! I am an accomplice at most!"

He laughed angrily, and it was clearly written in his eyes: Okay, the instigator even threatened him.

She raised her hand to thank him, but she didn't know what gesture to express it with, so in desperation, she made a love gesture with her hands in front of her chest.

Fei Nanzhou paused as he was about to leave.

Beside him, Shen Qian held back a smile: "Miss Xu is really cute sometimes."
