So Chen Ya secretly took a few steps back, grabbed the sole of the shoe with one hand, took it off, threw it aside, then grabbed the other raised foot, took off the shoe, and threw it aside.
The crystal shoes rolled twice on the ground. Chen Ya's movements were rough and somewhat personal.
An indescribable smell entered Chen Ya's nose. It seemed to be the smell of dried sunflower seeds, with a hint of the smell of a wet quilt that had been left unwashed overnight.
It can't be said to be smelly, and it's definitely not the smell of sour pickles or rotten cucumbers, but it's definitely not fragrant either. It's the kind of smell that makes you feel emotional when you smell it.
Gu Yuqing immediately retracted her feet, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and said arrogantly: "Okay, go get me another pair of slippers."
"Is this also part of showing sincerity?"
"This is part of etiquette," Gu Yuqing blinked, "You threw your shoes so far away, I can't talk to you barefoot later, right?"
"Don't you have a maid?"
"They are all busy. Don't you feel sorry for pushing the matter onto them so easily?"
Chen Ya walked out of the reading room and saw a maid standing nervously just one step away from the door.
Obviously, if Chen Ya had done something impulsive just now, the maid would definitely rush in bravely.
"The slippers are at the entrance. I'll get them for you..."
After the maid, who was nearly thirty years old, finished speaking hurriedly, she trotted over and came back with a pair of soft white cotton slippers in her arms, and stuffed them into Chen Ya's arms.
Chen Ya swallowed what he wanted to say and returned to the reading room. Before Gu Yuqing asked him to help her put them on, he threw the slippers at her feet.
"Can we get down to business now?"
Gu Yuqing nodded while holding the small spoon in her mouth: "Mmmm, that's enough. I'm full, I'm full."
She sat with her legs together like a lady, and there was no sign of the unreasonable request she had just made.
Chen Ya sat down, Gu Yuqing clapped her hands, and the maid came in immediately.
"Please clear everything off the table."
Most of the rich dishes on the table were only half eaten, and some only took a bite. Chen Ya watched the desserts being taken away, and his stomach couldn't help but make an even more dry and sad sound.
The sound was so loud that Gu Yuqing must have heard it, but she pretended not to hear it. She bent over the desk and asked him with concern:
"Are you in a relationship? When do you plan to get married?"
"Does this have anything to do with business?"
"Of course it is related. Generally speaking, married people are more down-to-earth and more motivated." Gu Yuqing said seriously.
"I've dated, but I don't plan to get married." Chen Ya sighed, "Do you have any special ways to observe people? Use them all."
Gu Yuqing still had a serious expression on her face and asked again, "Who was Murakami you mentioned when I was reading the book just now?"
"What Murakami?"
"You said that Murakami-kun wrote this book in a rather obscure way...but the author of this book is Haruki Kawabata, right?"
Gu Yuqing picked up "Norwegian Wood" in her hand and waved it towards Chen Ya.
Chen Ya broke out in a cold sweat.
"Oh, I remembered the wrong author." Chen Ya said calmly, "Excuse me."
The original work of this book is Haruki Murakami.
After he copied it, he stitched Kawabata Yasunari and Murakami Haruki together.
I spoke too quickly just now and said Murakami.
But this little loophole shouldn't be discovered by anyone.
I can only say that Gu Yuqing is a very perceptive woman.
Gu Yuqing stared at Chen Ya for a while, nodded, and seemed to be talking to herself: "It turns out that your memory is not as good as it looks."
Chen Ya was a little impatient.
He wanted to know when this woman would get to the point.
"Well, when it comes to investment, I can come up with even 200 million, not to mention 100 million," Gu Yuqing said, "but I have a principle when investing. Once I invest, I must have a say in the company's operating direction."
Chen Ya narrowed his eyes and asked, "How much say do you want?"
"It's a veto," Gu Yuqing said. "As long as I'm not satisfied with the proposed direction, it must be scrapped and re-invented. Otherwise, I have the right to withdraw my investment at any time."
Chen Ya said: "If this continues, we could be ruined by you at any time."
Gu Yuqing shrugged: "But principles are principles, there is no compromise. You must choose to trust me, right?"
"Is it really impossible to compromise?"
“No compromise.”
Chen Ya picked up his coat and said, "We're not on the same page. Goodbye."
Gu Yuqing blinked, looked up and watched Chen Ya walk out the door. Then, a loud sound of a door closing came from the entrance.
The sun had already set, and the streetlights on the outer ring road had not yet been replaced with energy-saving models. They emitted a dim light, and everything outside the light was pitch black.
Chen Ya stood outside the house, took out his mobile phone and searched, but was surprised to find that the nearest subway station was 8 kilometers away.
The nearest bus station is slightly better, 5 kilometers away.
Chen Ya raised his head speechlessly and looked at the night scene in front of him.
"Hello."
Chen Ya turned around and saw Gu Yuqing leaning half of her body out on the balcony.
"It's far from here, do you want to walk back?"
Chen Ya frowned and said, "Will you send me back?"
"No." Gu Yuqing covered her mouth and couldn't help laughing happily.
"Then you don't have to worry."
"Let me tell you something good." Gu Yuqing said again.
"What?"
"The directions on my phone's navigation are wrong," Gu Yuqing said. "The bus stop stops running at 7 a.m., and the subway station is temporarily closed for maintenance. If you want to catch a bus, you'll have to walk 10 kilometers!"
“…I can call a ride-hailing service.”
After saying this, he turned around and strode into the night, like a train entering a tunnel.
But when I looked down at my phone, the screen was showing an online ride-hailing platform.
The above estimated cost is 200 yuan.
This amount is a painful figure for Chen Ya, who is currently short of money.
Gu Yuqing looked at his back, the smile on the corner of her mouth was like pouring water, and she couldn't stop it.
She took out her cell phone, pressed the voice button, and said to the inside:
"Sister, I really found an awesome toy. It's so cool."
"I can only describe it to you this way - it's the best. I've never felt so comfortable before."
