Chapter 496 Cold Rainy Night (10K)
The team from the General Administration arrived at around one o'clock and immediately set up the scene in the conference hall.
This instantly elevated the level of the annual meeting.
Jack Ma was beaming with joy. For ordinary people, appearing on central media is almost impossible, but for Zeng Wenjie, it is as easy as drinking water and eating.
There is no way, he has too many BUFFs and can talk, so he is deeply loved by the official bigwigs. Even Zhang Yuanqiao’s big boss often pays attention to him.
Chongshan is a poor province, and it is so hard for such an outstanding child to come out of it. How could the big boss who once was in charge of Chongshan not take care of him?
Zeng Wenjie entered the venue early to greet the team from the General Administration, some of whom were old acquaintances.
Everyone was very enthusiastic when they saw him.
When they went on business trips to Chongshan, Zeng Wenjie treated them very well, so they established a relatively deep friendship.
"Sister Yan, come over here and chat." Zeng Wenjie waved at Yan Xinyi and said.
"Oh!" Yan Xinyi agreed coldly and went to talk to him alone.
Yan Xinyi didn't say anything about Zeng Wenjie changing the name back, but she was actually feeling upset. She was a little annoyed that the young man was playing psychological warfare with her, but she was also a little helpless.
Perhaps Zeng Wenjie's assets have not reached the top level, but his identity and status are undoubtedly in this tier.
Yan Xinyi smiled and said, "Boss Ma must be so proud that he summoned you to Yanjing for an annual meeting. Even if I called you, it would be useless."
Zeng Wenjie said, "You're kidding, aren't you? I'm just busy. I was originally planning to come to Yanjing, and President Ma just happened to ask me to attend the annual meeting. Isn't this a perfect match?"
Yan Xinyi nodded and said, "What are you going to talk about at the annual meeting this afternoon?"
Zeng Wenjie said, "Is 'True Man' still in theaters? Why don't we go see it today?"
Yan Xinyi wanted to act reserved, but then she thought that this guy was also a tough guy. If she refused, their relationship might become even more distant.
So, he sighed helplessly and said, "It's rare that you still remember this promise."
Zeng Wenjie said, "I've always remembered it, but I just haven't had the time to fulfill it. You know how overwhelmed I've been lately. Those big companies don't like the way I'm learning from President Yu, so they're deliberately suppressing me, even forcing me to the point where I almost destroyed my own golden body!"
Yan Xinyi nodded and said, "We didn't expect you to actually go ahead and fight back. It really surprised everyone. I thought you would compromise."
Zeng Wenjie said, "Compromise, bullshit! No one can make me compromise!"
His personality has been established long ago, and if it collapses, the consequences will be serious.
Brother Dong kept saying that everyone in the group was his brother and that he should be nice to his brothers; then he changed his words and said that those who didn't work hard were not worthy of being his brothers. This change in his expression caused his reputation to collapse.
Zeng Wenjie established this upright image to pave the way for slapping the old witch in the face later.
The agreement between men reached with Jiu Ye must be fulfilled.
"So, you force others to compromise with you?" Yan Xinyi said this with a hint of smugness, and her tone even carried a hint of resentment.
Zeng Wenjie smiled and reached out to hug her waist. This was a tentative process and he was gradually increasing his strength.
Yan Xinyi did not resist and was half leaning in his arms.
"How about we go to the movies today?"
After hearing this, Yan Xinyi couldn't help but think about it. This talented woman who graduated from Yenching University was still a little conflicted.
"Okay, I'll give you a chance to fulfill your promise."
In the end, Yan Xinyi couldn't muster up the courage and chose to back down.
Her concession made Zeng Wenjie feel quite satisfied.
If you want to build a deep relationship with a girl like Yan Xinyi, you need to proceed step by step. At the beginning, both parties just appreciate each other and get what they need, but some ambiguous sparks are still created in the process.
She is outstanding, so she is certainly strong. She is not the kind of fairy who has no ability but stubbornly tries to remain strong.
Therefore, sometimes you have to use some tricks to make her submit.
Zeng Wenjie is always accustomed to taking control of the rhythm in his own hands.
"Then we'll see you later." Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll find another excuse to break your legs." Yan Xinyi waved her fist and hit him lightly on the forehead.
Zeng Wenjie grabbed her wrist, kissed the back of her tender white hand, and said, "No."
Yan Xinyi was so scared that she quickly retracted her hand.
Zeng Wenjie, however, hugged her waist tightly and scolded her sternly, "Don't move!"
Yan Xinyi was stunned and subconsciously followed the instruction.
Zeng Wenjie did not make any follow-up moves and let her go with satisfaction.
After Yan Xinyi came to her senses, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Was this a test of her obedience? It seemed that she was completely at a disadvantage in this confrontation with him!
This result was a little hard for Yan Xinyi to accept, but she was powerless to change it. The damn Zeng Wenjie was so powerful that he retreated to advance and showed a tough attitude.
Moreover, Zeng Wenjie can bring her a lot of benefits, and it is really fun to get along with him. He is much more interesting and profound than other men.
Thinking of this, Yan Xinyi chased after him unwillingly and punched him hard on the shoulder several times.
However, he did not expect that this guy's muscles were quite strong, and instead, his little fist felt a little numb and painful after being punched.
Zeng Wenjie grinned and said, "Okay, okay, I know I was wrong. If I promise you anything next time, I will definitely fulfill it immediately, okay? Don't be angry!"
After getting the advantage, he started to act like a good boy.
Yan Xinyi couldn't help but sneer twice and punched him twice more.
Zeng Wenjie was thinking, just fight, sooner or later he will make you pay double, but he needs a timing, after all, Yan Xinyi is not ordinary.
Just like playing CS, to defeat a strong opponent, you have to catch the timing of the opponent's cutting knife or cutting props.
"What are you going to say in the afternoon? Tell us a little bit in advance." Yan Xinyi folded her arms and sneered.
"It's probably some marketing concepts and corporate management concepts. The latter, which is a cliché, is to be good to employees, manage in a humane way, and promote a virtuous cycle for the company," said Zeng Wenjie.
Yan Xinyi shook her head and said, "You really have a big heart. Aren't you afraid that you will be like Mr. Yu, who can't leave Xudu and you can't leave Fengzhou either?"
Zeng Wenjie said, "My snack food business is booming nationwide. Marennia will start to grow slowly for a while, focusing on online sales. When the time is right, we can open branches."
Yan Xinyi said, "If your WG hadn't been cooperating with Penguin, and if Penguin hadn't been reaping the benefits, this storm would have been enough to blow you to death!"
Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "Xinyi, do you think I'm a fool? I can only do things within my capabilities. I know this."
Yan Xinyi snorted again. This name had quietly changed again? This bastard man really has so many tricks up his sleeve!
But what made her feel uncomfortable and terrified was that the name that had been changed back to hers actually made her feel quite comfortable.
Then, Yan Xinyi realized clearly that she was deeply poisoned!
However, getting along with someone like Zeng Wenjie is like taking a chronic poison orally. By the time you realize it, you are already in a state of deep poisoning.
After the annual meeting started in the afternoon, Jack Ma opened the meeting again. After revealing some data, he invited Zeng Wenjie, the head of the annual outstanding merchant Marennia, to come on stage to give a speech and teach some secrets of success to the e-commerce people present.
In fact, most of the businesses that are invited to participate in this annual meeting have made considerable profits.
However, comparison is the thief of joy. Compared with the sales of Malenia, it is still lacking.
Marlennia still sells gold, and its sales volume is quite high, while the major gold jewelers that also followed suit and opened online channels have very few sales volume.
The reason why Malenia's gold can be sold online is that it has a strict identification and delivery system, and the Forbidden City series is endorsed by the certificate of the Palace Museum, which is difficult for other merchants to achieve.
After Zeng Wenjie took the stage, he turned the annual meeting held by Alibaba into his own home court.
"Hello everyone, I'm Zeng Wenjie. I won't go into too much detail about myself. I'm sure many of you already know me! I know exactly why President Ma invited me to this annual meeting and arranged for me to give a speech. I also understand what you all wanted to hear by patiently waiting for a college student like me to come up. So, let's cut to the chase and get straight to the point!"
Zeng Wenjie did not miss the opportunity to establish his own character. He deliberately showed the youthful vigor and ambition, and got straight to the point.
After hearing what he said, the merchants below immediately applauded and cheered.
Who wants to listen to a speaker ramble on and on in a meeting? Of course, everyone wants to get straight to the point and finish the talk quickly.
Everyone was happy that Zeng Wenjie was willing to talk about the practical stuff right away, and this also made them feel that the image of this young man was even more likable.
The current e-commerce industry is very immature, so Zeng Wenjie has a lot to say. He has watched many speeches by Jack Ma in his previous life, and now he can quote them at will.
"The e-commerce industry is undoubtedly an industry with unlimited potential. I'm even certain that in the future, e-commerce will become widespread throughout the country. Even middle-aged and elderly families who don't know how to use computers, even underage teenagers, will become our customers..."
"When I say the e-commerce industry has unlimited potential, people might think we're bragging because we at Marennia have opened up online channels. But that's actually quite one-sided. What I really want to say is that all industries related to the internet have unlimited potential."
For this speech, Zeng Wenjie did not ask Feng Xiao to write for him, but instead used his own experience and knowledge that was more than ten years ahead of the current world.
Not only is he a plagiarist, he is also a patchwork freak. He stitched together the speeches of famous entrepreneurs such as Jack Ma, Dong Ge, and Lei Zong, stitching here and there, organizing them into his own set of logic, and telling it in a leisurely manner.
He said that the e-commerce industry will usher in a blowout by 2009 at the latest, and a shopping festival dedicated to the e-commerce industry will bring in at least one billion in sales;
He said the future of business would move to the Internet, and perhaps mobile phones could one day replace computers;
He said that one day in the future, mobile payments will replace traditional currency transactions;
He said a lot.
Jack Ma, a man with many wild ideas, was stunned and shocked when he heard this. He felt that this young man Zeng Wenjie was a lunatic even crazier than himself!
The General Administration team was also shocked by Zeng Wenjie's shocking words. For a moment, they couldn't understand whether this young man had a big vision or a big imagination. How could he dare to think and say anything?
After listening to his speech, the e-commerce entrepreneurs present here couldn't help but get excited and imagine how much money everyone would make in the era when people can shop online with their mobile phones.
But Zeng Wenjie is not only painting a rosy picture, he is also pouring cold water on people. He warned everyone that online shopping is different from traditional shopping, but one thing remains unchanged, that is, customer service and guarantee of product quality.
More and more fresh blood will flow into the e-commerce industry, but more and more old blood will be eliminated by this industry and customers.
What Zeng Wenjie said is actually not wrong. Double Eleven started in 2009, and the total sales in 2010 were close to 1 billion. He transmitted the concept of "cutting hands" to Jack Ma in advance and asked him to market it in advance. If the sales had not exceeded 1 billion by 2010, Jack Ma would have disgraced the nickname "Papa Ma".
Jack Ma originally thought that Zeng Wenjie would speak for 20 to 30 minutes at most, but he never expected that he would speak for more than an hour and elaborate on many unprecedented insights into the e-commerce industry.
Jack Ma stared blankly at Zeng Wenjie, feeling a bit lost. Was this guy the boss who "regretted founding Alibaba"? Why did it feel like his understanding of the e-commerce industry was so much greater than his own?!
To outsiders, it sounds horrifying and mostly like fairy tales.
But once experts listen to it and analyze it carefully, they will be able to appreciate the many tricks and depths in it. They will be impressed by Zeng Wenjie's thorough insights into the e-commerce industry and will be amazed at his accurate and clear judgment of the future!
If the idea of selling goods through live streaming was not so advanced, Zeng Wenjie would probably have said it out loud.
But he also laid some groundwork, telling everyone present that they are the first batch of e-commerce practitioners and will belong to "traditional e-commerce". In the future, there will be e-commerce with more innovative models to replace them, and the speed of this replacement will be very fast, even catching people off guard.
After Zeng Wenjie finished speaking, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
Yan Xinyi couldn't help but feel shocked when she heard this. She felt that this was the kind of high-spirited and arrogant attitude that a young person who had achieved such great success at the age of 19 should have.
At this moment, she really felt convinced.
There were many well-known figures attending the annual meeting. After listening to Zeng Wenjie's speech which contained a huge amount of information, they all fell into deep thought and began to imagine, if the future really develops as Zeng Wenjie described, then how should they plan in advance?
If others say this, it is no different from nonsense.
However, what Zeng Wenjie said made people dare not ignore it easily.
Jack Ma couldn't help but ask the secretary beside him, "Have you written down everything Mr. Zeng just said?"
The secretary, sweating profusely as he typed away, nodded and said, "I've written down almost all the key points, but there are definitely some typos. I'll revise them later and send them to your email."
Jack Ma nodded slightly, then walked onto the stage, shook hands with Zeng Wenjie, and asked him to stay.
"Mr. Zeng's speech just now was very exciting. I was fascinated by it for a while. I really hope that Mr. Zeng will continue to speak all night long. So, I also want to ask you, is what Mr. Zeng just said exciting enough?" Jack Ma asked.
"Great!" everyone shouted in unison.
The future era described by Zeng Wenjie is so cool for these e-commerce industry pioneers, so cool to the extreme!
Moreover, the experience and methods of success he imparted are very practical. As long as you study them carefully, you will be able to optimize your own store and achieve the effect of increasing sales.
Zeng Wenjie finally talked about the concept of treating employees well and strictly following the Labor Law, but many people think that it is just for listening. If they really do what he said, they don’t know how much money they will lose.
Not everyone has studied "Selected Works of Mao Zedong" as thoroughly as Mr. Yu and has that kind of spirit and ideals.
Jack Ma said, "I think this annual meeting was a great success, made even more brilliant by the presence of Mr. Zeng. I hope to see all of you old friends again next year! So, let us work together to see if the future is truly as colorful as Mr. Zeng has promised..."
The atmosphere at the scene was always warm, and Zeng Wenjie's speech of more than an hour finally played a significant role and effect.
Yan Xinyi thought that if today's content was reported, it would probably scare a lot of people.
The annual meeting continued, but everyone was still thinking about Zeng Wenjie's speech and was listening a little absent-mindedly.
Jack Ma felt that he had miscalculated. If he had known this, he would have arranged Zeng Wenjie to be the last one, so that the subsequent projects would not seem to lack color.
After the annual meeting, everyone, including reporters, were arranged into the banquet hall.
Yan Xinyi, as the host of the General Administration, was also arranged by Jack Ma to sit at the main table. He was very satisfied with this annual meeting. It can be predicted that after the news broadcast, the number of registered merchants will increase a lot, and the number of customers willing to use online shopping will also increase dramatically.
Inviting Zeng Wenjie to attend the annual meeting is really more effective and cost-effective than inviting any big-name star.
Zeng Wenjie happily received a bonus of 100,000 yuan, but Jack Ma saved tens of millions of yuan in advertising expenses.
"Mr. Zeng, you really should attend our summit in Hangzhou." Jack Ma couldn't help but sigh to Zeng Wenjie.
"Maybe later. I've had too much work piled up recently. I've been putting it off again and again when the General Administration asked me to come to the meeting. It even made our Yan University host a little angry." Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.
Yan Xinyi smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Zeng, please don't talk nonsense. How dare I be angry with you? If it weren't for you, how could I apply for such a program?"
Jack Ma was surprised when he heard this and said, "Oh? Mr. Zeng is doing another show? And is he collaborating with the General Administration?"
Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "Yes, I made a stage play program to promote our traditional culture. I hope to make more people pay attention to our country's history and cultural heritage."
Jack Ma immediately gave a thumbs up.
Of course, he realized the significance of Zeng Wenjie's transition from music variety shows to this kind of program.
No matter how well a music variety show is run, it is just something to entertain the public, and its purpose has a limit;
The purpose of this program, which was co-organized with the General Administration, is infinitely higher.
Jack Ma smacked his lips and thought it was no wonder that Zeng Wenjie was so popular with the officials and the General Administration. If he were a leader in the General Administration, he would definitely be happy to cultivate this young man!
"In recent years, the Korean Wave has invaded quite seriously. It's good to have a program like this," said Jack Ma.
No one in the General Administration team drank any alcohol. After eating, they thanked Jack Ma for the hospitality and left.
Zeng Wenjie didn't drink either, saying that he had some other leaders to visit later, so Jack Ma didn't dare to persuade him to drink.
However, he still waited until the dinner was almost over, until Yan Xinyi sent him a message, and then he left.
Yan Xinyi changed her clothes after returning home. She wore a very casual skirt with a shirt, and her jacket also looked very casual. At first glance, it all looked casual and free, but her outfit still revealed a sense of carefulness, which highlighted her figure and temperament everywhere.
When they arrived at the agreed place to meet, Zeng Wenjie saw Yan Xinyi sitting on a chair with a milk tea in her hand and a cup beside her.
"It wasn't too long, was it?" Zeng Wenjie asked.
"I just arrived too, and I only took two sips of milk tea, you see." Yan Xinyi smiled and said.
In fact, she arrived half an hour ago, but she deliberately didn't drink much milk tea to avoid Zeng Wenjie seeing that she had been waiting for a while.
Although Zeng Wenjie is a detail freak, he can't discover anything just by looking at these. Otherwise, he would be able to gain a deeper insight into Yan Xinyi's heart.
"Would you like to drink?" Yan Xinyi asked.
"Don't you pay attention to body management and don't drink these things much?" Zeng Wenjie picked up the milk tea, inserted the straw and took a sip with relish.
Yan Xinyi said, "Wouldn't ice have no heat?"
Zeng Wenjie was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said, "That makes sense. Ice not only has no calories, but it's also negative calories. Drinking it can help you lose weight."
Yan Xinyi said, "Then drink more. I see you haven't been taking good care of your figure lately."
"What the hell? I've obviously lost weight, okay?" Zeng Wenjie said disdainfully.
People tend to gain weight when they reach middle age, and the metabolism is at its most active at the age of nineteen.
Yan Xinyi smiled and said, "Let's go. I've already bought the movie tickets. We're already over two months late for this movie!"
Zeng Wenjie said, "Let's go."
After watching this movie, it must be almost ten o'clock.
Yan Xinyi was walking in front, familiar with the route. The sound of her high heels hitting the ground was very pleasant, and it drew people's attention away from the pleasant sound and onto her pleasing long legs.
The weather has been unpredictable recently, sometimes hot and sometimes cold. It was quite cool tonight. I don’t know if those long legs were wearing silk. It was dark and I couldn’t tell.
Arriving at the nearby cinema, Yan Xinyi bought some snacks such as plums and shredded squid.
No matter how much a woman pays attention to her body shape, she always can't help talking when she enters places like movie theaters.
Yan Xinyi chose a seat slightly to the inside of the middle row. Since "True Man" had been released for a long time, most people who wanted to watch it had already seen it. Even though it was shown at this prime time, there were not many viewers.
"I didn't expect you to be so good at writing songs. The song 'Lone Hero' brought at least 20 to 30 million in box office revenue to this movie," Yan Xinyi said.
"Writing is a natural gift, created by a skilled hand." Zeng Wenjie said calmly and pretentiously.
Yan Xinyi smacked her lips, thinking that this act was perfect.
Then she asked, "Aren't you interested in pursuing a career in music? If you don't sing, writing is not bad either."
Zeng Wenjie smiled, leaned lazily in his chair, and said, "The time I spend thinking about the lyrics is enough for me to easily make several million."
What I said...
After hearing this, Yan Xinyi felt that he was being too pretentious, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he was not pretending, but telling the truth?! Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that these words were a bit infuriating.
"Have you seen it?" Yan Xinyi asked.
"No, I'm just waiting to watch it with you." Zeng Wenjie never tells lies without thinking.
He could almost memorize the lines, and even felt like vomiting when he saw some of the main actors.
Before the movie started, Yan Xinyi chatted with Zeng Wenjie, "Which director do you like best?"
"Jiang Wen." Zeng Wenjie said without hesitation.
"Uh...it seems like he only has two works?" Yan Xinyi said in surprise.
He thought Zeng Wenjie would mention the name of a foreign director to continue showing off, but he didn't expect him to mention this name.
Zeng Wenjie thought for a moment and said, "There will be better and more amazing works in the future. I admire his talent very much."
In fact, Jiang Wen’s several films are all telling the same story, but the core of the story is hidden too deeply and is not easy to understand.
Having said that, if it is easy to understand, it will not be easy to pass the review.
The movie started. Yan Xinyi stopped talking, turned her eyes to the big screen, and began to enjoy the snacks she had bought.
Zeng Wenjie took a look at the brand of the snacks and found that they were sold in the snack store, so he felt at ease to eat them.
It can be said that the products sold in snack shops have all undergone rigorous inspection and there are no safety issues.
"True Man" is a very exciting police and gangster action movie. However, no matter how exciting a movie is, you will still get tired of it after watching it several times.
Zeng Wenjie was feeling drowsy at the moment, but he pinched his thigh hard, suppressed his sleepiness, and watched with Yan Xinyi.
When Yan Xinyi saw some of the plot, she turned around and discussed it with Zeng Wenjie in a low voice. He had to pretend to be serious and perfunctory as if he was seeing it for the first time.
Seriousness and perfunctoriness are antonyms, but they can be used together here. This has to say about the profoundness of the Chinese language and culture.
Moreover, Zeng Wenjie pinched his thigh several times to stay focused. There was no other way. Watching a movie too many times would make you feel bored.
After the movie ended, "The Lone Hero" started playing, and Yan Xinyi smiled and said, "Why don't you listen to the ending before you go out?"
Zeng Wenjie said: "You have the final say!"
Yan Xinyi nodded slightly to the beat of the music and said, "This song is really suitable to be used as a promotional song for the official special department. The lyrics are really great."
Zeng Wenjie just laughed awkwardly, but still felt a little nauseous after listening to it.
After the ending theme song finished playing, Yan Xinyi snapped her fingers and said, "Perfect! You've finally fulfilled your promise. Let's go!"
Zeng Wenjie asked, "How do you feel?"
"It's a pretty good commercial film, worthy of a 7.5 rating. The box office also proves its excellence." Yan Xinyi praised, "Director Chen Musheng is really good at filming this kind of police and gangster action."
Zeng Wenjie then said, "I think Nicholas Tse is more suitable to play the villain."
Yan Xinyi was startled, and said thoughtfully, "It seems his acting skills are still not good enough. He's still a little short of capturing the aura of a villain."
Zeng Wenjie said: "I don't think there is much difference. He would be more outstanding in playing a charismatic villain, especially if there is a little contrast, then it would be perfect."
When I said this, of course what came to my mind was the image of Qiu Gangao in the movie "The Angry Case". He was really handsome, and it was also a rare movie in which the audience hoped that the villain would win.
The two walked out of the cinema and onto the street while chatting about the movie.
After watching a movie, the relationship seemed to be much more harmonious, and the familiar and even more ambiguous feeling returned perfectly.
Zeng Wenjie took Yan Xinyi's hand and said, "What movie do you want to watch next?"
Yan Xinyi narrowed her eyes and said, "Why don't we just wait for Jiang Wen's next film? You speak so highly of him, I'm also very curious about it."
Zeng Wenjie was stunned. If that was the case, the time span might be a bit too long!
When was "Let the Bullets Fly" released? I can't quite remember.
As they were talking, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across the dark sky, which made both of them stunned.
About two seconds later, a loud thunder followed, and it felt like the sky was shaking and the earth was trembling.
Yan Xinyi was so frightened that her whole body trembled. She asked, "Did you make a vow in your heart?"
"Fuck, stop talking nonsense!" Zeng Wenjie immediately glared at her.
Then, I felt a chill on my forehead and heavy rain fell instantly.
It really came true. Why don’t we go to the movies on a rainy day?
Yan Xinyi reacted quickly and pulled Zeng Wenjie straight to a telephone booth in front. The area around was relatively empty and there was no place to hide from the rain. Moreover, they did not expect it to rain and did not bring an umbrella.
It took several years for telephone booths to gradually disappear from our sight.
"That was all your nonsense before. Now it's really raining!" Yan Xin leaned against the side of the phone booth and smiled bitterly helplessly.
"Can you blame me for this?" Zeng Wenjie shrugged, his clothes were a little wet.
Of course, heavy rain is accompanied by strong winds. There were lightning and thunder, and strong winds blew. The rain came from the side and wet Zeng Wenjie's clothes and trouser legs.
Yan Xinyi pulled her a little closer to the inside so that they could be close to each other and avoid some of the rain.
This heavy rain came suddenly and without any warning, which was quite similar to the day when the two of them were strolling in the Forbidden City.
Moreover, the raindrops were so heavy that they could even be described as violent. They made crackling sounds when they hit the top of the telephone booth. The entire telephone booth seemed to have turned into an isolated island in the tsunami, looking so lonely and helpless.
Looking out from here, the visibility is terribly low. If a person is hiding from the rain here, he might inexplicably think of some terrifying scenes from horror movies.
Zeng Wenjie coughed and said awkwardly, "The rain seems to be a bit heavy, huh?"
Yan Xinyi blushed slightly and nodded, "Yes, it's a bit big."
When Zeng Wenjie turned around, he found Yan Xinyi looking at him. The moment their eyes met, she couldn't help but turn her eyes away.
As expected of a host, his acting skills are still very good. He looked away very naturally without any embarrassment.
But whether she felt embarrassed inside was unknown.
However, there will always be a time when your gaze will turn back once you have looked away.
So Zeng Wenjie simply lowered his head slightly and looked at her.
After about a minute, Yan Xinyi's gaze slowly moved back. Perhaps she was afraid that if she looked away again during this period of time, she would be at a serious disadvantage, so she simply stared back.
The four eyes looked at each other at close range, and each could see the reflection in the other's pupils.
No one spoke.
There is only the sound of rain.
Then, Zeng Wenjie slowly approached. Yan Xinyi's pupils trembled, but she froze in place without moving.
It's very sweet, and seems to have a little bit of the taste of rain.
The rain blocked everything out, and no one knew what was happening in the telephone booth under the heavy rain.
Zeng Wenjie was very sure that Yan Xinyi was wearing thin flesh-colored stockings today.
Yan Xinyi felt that she was quite outrageous, but at this moment... the atmosphere, the emotions, the romance, were all there.
She was an extraordinary person and had some bold and romantic fantasies.
But what we are experiencing now seems a bit too bold and romantic.
Fortunately, the heavy rain was enough to give people a sense of security.
She had no choice but to cling to him tightly, as if trying her best to avoid her feet from getting wet by the rain.
Zeng Wenjie thought, Yan Xinyi probably weighed only about 100 pounds...
"Who do you take me for?"
Just as he sent Yan Xinyi to her residence, she turned around and slapped him, questioning him angrily and aggrievedly.
At this moment, her hair was disheveled, her clothes were wet, and she looked a little embarrassed, with an expression full of shame, anger and resentment.
Zeng Wenjie grabbed her wrist easily. He didn't slap her in the phone booth or on the way back, but chose to slap her after she entered the house.
He didn't say a word at all. He pressed the wet Yan Xinyi against the wall, hooked his toes, and closed the door. His movements were so skillful as if he had practiced them millions of times.
In fact, Zeng Wenjie had also imagined such a scene, but he did not expect the plot to develop so quickly, and it would happen in a telephone booth on a rainy night.
He stared at Yan Xinyi with a wicked smile, and only stopped when Yan Xinyi's face was left with only shame and anger, and no more resentment.
He didn't give Yan Xinyi any chance to think more.
Yan Xinyi was confused and was led by him.
“It’s a mess!”
Yan Xinyi came back to her senses and couldn't help rubbing her head. She hugged her legs in frustration and curled up into a ball.
"Everything is clearly going according to nature. Isn't this rain the Dragon King carrying out the will of heaven?"
Zeng Wenjie used his fingers to draw circles and crosses on her back.
When Yan Xinyi thinks back on it now, she feels a little scared, but at the same time, she feels that it is so profound that it echoes with a kind of aftertaste that will be remembered for the rest of her life.
They say that if you don't go crazy soon, you will get old. In one's life, one will always remember the craziest thing he has done.
Not only Yan Xinyi thought it was crazy, Zeng Wenjie also thought it was crazy.
That's what ambiguity is like, it can make people addicted without them realizing it. Not only Yan Xinyi was addicted, but Zeng Wenjie was also addicted in that environment and atmosphere.
"You bastard, you're playing chess!" Yan Xinyi suddenly said angrily.
"Haha, sorry... I was too naughty." Zeng Wenjie burst into laughter, then reached out to push her down and hugged her.
Yan Xinyi pursed her lips, looking very aggrieved.
"Who asked you to look at me?" Zeng Wenjie asked.
"It was obviously you who looked at me first!" Yan Xinyi snorted coldly.
"How would I know I'm looking at you if you don't look at me?" Zeng Wenjie asked.
Yan Xinyi even wanted to play a tongue twister with him, but she held back and groaned, "I'm really angry, the kind that can't be appeased!"
"I won't trick you!" Zeng Wenjie said.
He is really not easy to coax.
Yan Xinyi felt even more aggrieved.
Zeng Wenjie hummed: "Little Swallow, wearing flowery clothes, comes here every spring..."
"Go away, how can you fool people like that?" Yan Xinyi was amused by his disgusting singing voice and pushed him away fiercely.
Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but laugh and said, "Well, now you see it, don't you?"
Yan Xinyi didn't want to pay any attention to him anymore. She wrapped herself up as if to prevent thieves and went to the bathroom. She washed his wet clothes and threw them into the dryer.
There were no spare clothes for Zeng Wenjie to change into in her room.
"You crazy bitch!"
When she looked up at the mirror, Yan Xinyi couldn't help but complain to herself.
But she quickly adjusted her mentality. This was something that was bound to happen sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to happen so suddenly and outrageously.
"I don't have the clothes you want to wear here. Do you want to wear mine first?" When Yan Xinyi came out, she regained her graceful demeanor and even teased Zeng Wenjie with a smile.
"I can't wear yours..." Zeng Wenjie was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly.
Yan Xinyi said, "A bigger skirt should be fine."
Zeng Wenjie glared at her and said, "Then I'd rather run naked!"
Yan Xinyi pointed at the door and said, "Now, run! I'll chase you and report the first-hand news. It will definitely shock the whole world tomorrow."
As she spoke, Yan Xinyi walked over with a pillow.
Zeng Wenjie was wondering what she was going to do, and then the pillow hit his head wildly.
I see!
Having vented the last bit of her anger, Yan Xinyi happily threw the pillow at him and said, "You're as thick-skinned as a wild boar!"
It is not difficult at all to coax a woman in this state.
Yan Xinyi quickly got rid of this awkward situation and took out a bottle of red wine from her collection, saying, "My salary is low, so I can't afford any good wine."
"That's good. I actually don't know how to taste wine," Zeng Wenjie responded.
Yan Xinyi looked at him deeply and finally smiled, a very natural and gentle smile.
Zeng Wenjie returned the same smile, then took her hand and asked her to sit next to him.
