Chapter 197 Teeth
The dinner tonight was a gathering of friends, and Su Xia made the final decision.
Xu Jiqing doesn't like crowded places, and she happens to be possessed by a koala, so she wants to stick with him whenever she has time. Their original plan was to go on a date with him.
But after chatting with Su Xiaojuan last night, her mind now expanded beyond her love and affection, full of energy and a little ambition:
If you follow Xu Jiqing's project, you will definitely get huge returns in the future. This is a truth that has been verified through two rounds of investment and with real money in US dollars and RMB. Everyone around him understands it.
But Xu Jiqing himself is also very good.
He is naturally taciturn and his growth experience is too special. He has few normal friends since he was a child. Things that he cannot say or has never thought of can be said by her.
She wants others to feel good about the people she thinks are good.
Mere partners become friends, and friends become good friends.
Even if the business world is blessed with good fortune, there will still be unexpected storms and setbacks. A little more support from friendship is more stable than anything else and can help her stay with the person she loves longer.
Xixin's current project is inseparable from the MIT laboratory, and the main investors are also in Silicon Valley. Chen Zhiheng and Liang Zhuoqian are based in the eastern United States, and the opportunity to return to China is rare.
If we don't take this opportunity to make a dinner appointment, we'll have to wait until who knows when to do it again.
The birthday party was not as extravagant as yesterday's, and was booked in a private room at a classic roast duck restaurant.
As soon as he got off the car, Lin Lang immediately urged He Miao to hurry up. He looked very hungry and was in a hurry to eat some cold dishes first.
The birthday boy and the two people in the passenger seat naturally fell behind.
Su Xia put on another touch of lipstick, bent down to look left and right in the rearview mirror, stood up straight and followed Xu Jiqing.
"Is it too red?" She raised her face. "Does it look good?"
She asked with a smile.
It seems like I have never assumed that I would be rejected. I have grown up like this even though I don't rely on my looks to make a living. I really give the world and every passerby a lot of face.
It was the first time that Su Xia had dinner with Xu Jiqing's people as a family member. Before leaving, she changed her clothes specially, wearing a cape coat with a fur collar, a tweed skirt in the same color, and small square heels with gold buckles.
She is the kind of girl who can easily digest expensive furs, large diamonds and pearls.
Good things are not noticeable on the body, they are just a foil. The little face and fingers revealed by the collar and sleeves are bright, the eyebrows and eyes are bright, and there is a vigorous vitality.
Wealth and good fortune, mutton-fat white jade.
Xu Jiqing hummed, his eyes shifting to her berry-red lips, his face expressionless, "They don't deserve this from you."
The cold face is so cute, it’s really annoying.
Su Xia pursed her lips and replied with a flat "Oh", "Aren't you very happy watching it too?"
"I know whether it's worth it or not," she said. "My mother taught me since I was a kid that in business, you can't look at the partner himself, but the state of his wife."
"I don't really understand the details of Feng Shui and luck, but if I'm going out with you to meet people, I'd better dress up a little."
She wore light makeup today.
Xu Jiqing didn’t understand what color was painted on her eyelids, she just thought it looked shiny and beautiful.
She raised her brighter eyes and fluttered her eyelashes, "What if they have some lasting grudge against you? They'll forget it once they see me."
What wife, a big house in the future, and living with Xu Jiaojiao.
Su Xia has a habit of making promises casually, perhaps without even realizing it.
There is a special custom at weddings in Xu Jiqing's hometown. The bride's hands can awaken and give birth to all things. When a child loses a tooth and leaves a gap, he always wants the bride to touch it, believing that a new one will grow the next day.
Sometimes he felt that Su Xia was like the most irresponsible beautiful bride, touching here and there on his barren heart, until it seemed as if he had grown invisible teeth all over his body, new ones stacked on top of old ones, trying to swallow up the person who made these promises, without ever having the chance to betray them.
Even if you are no longer interested in him and regret it, you can only be with him forever.
When I arrived at the door of the box, I happened to see Liang Zhuoqian and Chen Zhiheng coming from the end of the corridor.
Su Xia recognized him for just a moment, raised her hand and waved enthusiastically, smiling brightly, her dimples very contagious.
Chen Zhiheng was a stranger and a bit slow to warm up, so he just politely said hello.
Gangzai had just met her in Boston a few days ago. He took a few steps forward as if they were very familiar with each other. When he got closer, he seemed to be struck by her beauty. He paused for a moment before revealing a smile even bigger than hers.
She originally wanted to praise her directly, but when she saw Xu Jiqing silently take a half step in front of her, she wisely changed the subject of her conversation and said, "Jiqing, your girlfriend is really beautiful."
Xu Jiqing said nothing.
Su Xia leaned over as if nothing had happened, her eyebrows curved, "You look handsome today too."
The group sat down and the dishes were served one after another.
Su Xiatian's nature is that he can chat with anyone.
On one side were her best friends from middle school, and on the other side were a group of boys that she wasn't familiar with, but they were alumni of different stages of her life, so it was easy for her to find common topics.
Even Chen Zhiheng was dragged into their rambling, and Lin Lang started it all. He couldn't help but complain about Xu Jiqing's Bking deeds during his freshman year, and he was full of resentment.
Xu Jiqing remained as quiet as usual.
Su Xia was extremely amused by what she heard. Occasionally, when she saw someone around her was too quiet, she would grab his hand under the table and poke and pinch the bones of his knuckles.
When the cake was brought out and the candles were lit and they were ready to make a wish, the waiter played the same blessing song that they sang when they had hot pot in high school, and swayed with light signs.
Su Xia glanced at Xu Jiqing several times and suddenly had an epiphany.
She leaned close to his ear, trying hard to suppress her laughter, and whispered with her fingers together, "You are more handsome than him, really."
Beijing becomes a bit dry at the end of the year, so static electricity is inevitable.
The air conditioner in the box was blowing warm air. When she got closer, some of her scattered hair got out of control and brushed against his ears and neck.
The wind is fragrant and itchy.
Xu Jiqing lowered his eyes slightly and said calmly, "Who?"
Su Xia shook her head innocently, "How would I know?"
There is no such thing as half-truth in coaxing people.
After a song was sung, they clamored to turn off the lights and make a wish. In the darkness after blowing out the candles, Su Xia put her hand on his shoulder and kissed him on the side of his cheek in the dark.
After the kiss, he remembered how conspicuous the lipstick color she wore today was, and hurriedly reached out to wipe it off.
Xu Jiqing stepped back and said, "I can do it myself."
...You'd better be.
Whoever saves his own face is responsible for it.
It only took a few seconds between turning the lights off and on. The room was so noisy that no sound could be heard, and the other people at the table were completely unaware of what was happening on their end.
When he saw the lights come on, Xu Jiqing showed no emotion and just sat there without saying a word.
The lights were turned off and then on again. The birthday boy was standing in front of the table leisurely dividing the cake. On his cold face, there was a lip mark that was not there just now, which was eye-catching and showy.
“…”
What a disgrace.
Lin Lang was simply unable to bear watching, and looked up to carefully observe and learn the hotel ceiling technology.
A good boss gets things done himself.
A good boss never forgets his brothers even on his own birthday, and repays every partner with whom he has a grudge with kindness.
Xu Jiqing cut the cake into equal pieces and placed them on a plate. He passed the first piece to Liang Zhuoqian and said, "You've been working hard lately."
“…It’s okay, I’m not that tired.”
Liang Zhuoqian repeatedly expressed his loyalty, his gentlemanly education blending into his instincts. He slowly turned the cake back to Su Xia intact and said, "I think we should give it to the girls first."
The suspended ceiling observation group continues to grow.
He Miao couldn't bear to watch this, so out of concern for fellow Hong Kong and Macau residents, she quickly brought the cake over and said, "I'm a girl too, give it to me."
