Chapter 81 A Chance for a Hero to Save a Beauty
"Or maybe if I reject you, it won't happen?" Huang Qian seemed unfazed by his words.
This is what she said in the last sentence.
"At least you'll be clean before the baby is born."
…
Looking at the steep Dongyi Mountain, Shi Ye was still wondering if this promotional video would require climbing to the top of the mountain and using a drone to take a panoramic bird's-eye view?
Walking halfway up the mountain can be very tiring.
She finally felt relieved when she walked two hundred meters to the pavilion and saw the elevator installed in the scenic area.
The weather in the mountains is very changeable. Before we could even look up at the sky when we arrived at the observation deck, it started raining.
The team had to wait at the destination. Ji Sunan, the client, was sincere and easygoing.
The lighthearted and amusing words comforted everyone: "This is just a coincidence. Seeing that we have been rushing on the road, the mountain wanted to give everyone a break and stop to look at it. It's a bit of a performance mountain, huh."
Everyone laughed. What a "performative" Shan Ge, so vivid and lifelike.
"There's still sunshine over there. There should be a rainbow after the sun shower, which is rare in winter." The tour guide also added at the right time.
Sure enough, someone timed the rain and it lasted less than 15 minutes.
The mountains look even cleaner after the rain.
The air smells of earth, light and fresh.
She also took a picture of a corner of the mountain from her perspective and shared it with Zhou Junheng.
If she sees green mountains, she finds them so charming. What about him?
A faint smile appeared on his face.
The next second after she looked up after sending the message, Ji Sunan was standing beside her without her knowing when, calling her "Teacher Shi" just like Yang Shu.
"Teacher Shi, did you get wet by the rain just now?" he asked the one who had just taken shelter from the rain.
Shi Ye felt that the distance between the two of them was a little close, and she unconsciously moved to the other side.
"It's okay, President Ji."
"That's good. It was just a coincidence."
Tokiya simply replied, "Nature is always changing."
"Indeed, Mr. Shi's perspective on things coincides with Mr. Ji's. Is Mr. Shi interested in the next rubbing and dyeing project?"
Shi Ye really didn't want to talk much with him here, as he always felt like he was just making small talk.
"Let's try it before we make our judgment. Preconceptions are prejudices. Excuse me, Mr. Ji, I'll go over there and take another look at the manuscript. Please be busy."
Shi Ye also found Yang Shu, today's itinerary was not suitable for her to go alone.
"Xiao Yang, the teacher needs your help. Stand with me on the Tuoyan and Kangyang Medical projects. If there's anything you want to do, call me and I'll accompany you."
When Yang Shu heard that the teacher asked her for help with something, she was happy to help the teacher.
In the end, I just accompanied the teacher and thought it was nothing.
"Sure, I'll stand next to the teacher."
…
The scenic area is large and the shooting locations are relatively scattered, so work will continue in the afternoon.
At noon, everyone had lunch at the scenic area hotel. At first, everyone thought it was just a buffet. As it was a luxurious hotel, the dishes should be enough for a good working meal.
But the arrangement was more appropriate, and the dishes in the private room were exquisite and very rich.
After Ji Sunan finished his instructions, he went into the private room. "Thank you all for your hard work. I've really made you tired today. The scenic spot really doesn't know your preferences, so we can only make a few more changes. I hope you don't mind!"
His polite words showed his attitude and made everyone enjoy their meal.
"We've been entertaining guests with wine since ancient times. Everyone has work to do this afternoon, and I certainly don't want to waste their time, so I asked the hotel to brew some non-alcoholic wine."
"I won't advise you. If you're interested, you can try making drinks yourself. It's also a specialty of the hotel."
Ji Sunan's approach of not urging others to drink obviously won the approval of many people. The Propaganda Department had the most men coming, and they all knew about and had experienced the drinking culture. What was obviously a casual hobby turned into a drinking contest when there were too many of them.
Instead, it aroused everyone's interest, and there was no limit to it.
"Mr. Ji, this is a really great feature. Tourists can enjoy a drink during lunch after a tiring day of sightseeing. Let's try it too."
“…”
I wasn't really interested, not in wine.
But after being tired, her appetite was even worse. The dishes in front of her were exquisite but did not attract her, so she did not feel like eating.
She didn't want to disturb other people's interest, so she didn't say anything else.
Her attention was not on the food, but the next second when the waiter knocked on the door and came in, she paid a little attention, although it was unintentional.
But he noticed that the girl's hands were shaking.
Shake?!
It's no wonder she thought too much. It was because Ji Sunan's approach in the morning and what happened last time at Tsinghua University were still fresh in her mind.
After delivering the wine, Ji Sunan did not stay in the box, saying that they were familiar with each other and would not feel uncomfortable, so he would not disturb them.
Shi Ye did not hesitate for a moment, and did not want to attract other people's attention. He half stood up and said something to Yang Shu next to him.
"I'm going to go out for a while. You eat first. If the waiter comes over later, just say that my clothes were a little wet and I went to the bathroom. You don't have to pour the wine."
"Hmm? Okay, Mr. Shi, do you want me to accompany you?"
Although Yang Shu was confused, he still nodded and listened to the teacher.
"No, I'll be back in a moment."
He also went around behind the screen so that the waiter wouldn't see him.
About ten minutes.
Shi Ye looked up again to confirm that the camera at the exit was on, and the red light was on indicating that it was working.
The video mode of the mobile phone can also be turned on for recording, which is more reliable than a simple recorder.
She hoped she was overthinking it.
But obviously not—
Ji Sunan was really waiting for her at the corner with a coat and heating pads!
The man spoke first, his voice full of concern: "Teacher Shi, are you okay? I just heard the waiter say that your clothes were a little wet. Are you okay now?"
But besides the complexity, there is also fear in Shiye's heart.
This guy has prepared everything to create an opportunity for her to be a hero and save the beauty?
The waiter immediately told him the same statement.
So if she hadn't noticed it just now, and hadn't said that she was wet, he would still have waited and asked her with concern, because the shaking hand meant that she would "accidentally" or "accidentally" spill it on her.
Her tone wasn't panic, but she understood his tactics and realized they weren't very clever. "How did Mr. Ji know that?"
Ji Sunan's brows were still furrowed with worry over her. "When the waiter was pouring the wine just now, he said Teacher Shi was missing from the table. He said her clothes were wet, so I was worried about you and came to check on her."
"... Really? That's quite a coincidence."
"Is your coat wet? Or something? Here are some heating pads. My coat is clean. You'll get sick easily if you change into it in cold weather."
As he spoke, he took a step forward, as if he wanted to help her put on her coat.
But at that time, he didn't want to flatter him anymore.
"No need, Mr. Ji."
"My coat isn't wet. I really don't appreciate Mr. Ji's kindness. Besides, I told you back at National Tsing Hua University that I'm already married. What does Mr. Ji mean by this now?"
