Chapter 20: Transporting Water Across Time and Space
The girl hugged him and jumped happily, while Xiao Heng's eyes were drooping, making it impossible to see the details.
But he was sure that no one had dared to hug him so boldly, and Xu Jiaojiao was the first.
What was shocking was that he didn't show any signs of anger.
"Boss Xu, please pay attention to your status. Men and women should not be intimate with each other." At the end, Xiao Heng only said this sentence, but he was not angry. Xu Jiaojiao
was so happy that she lowered her head with a hot face and apologized hesitantly: "Xiao Heng, I'm sorry, I was too excited just now."
God, he is a prince, and it is estimated that he rarely has such close contact with the opposite sex.
She was just too excited just now, so she was a little over the line.
It was normal for her, a small gesture to express happiness, but it was different for Xiao Heng.
"No problem, you can be a little irrational when you are happy." Xiao Heng's tone was light, like a breeze blowing.
That's what he said, but he couldn't. No matter how happy he was, he needed to restrain himself. The entire Chen Palace was in his hands.
When Xu Jiaojiao heard this memory, she couldn't help but say that she was very moved. This was no different from being comforted by a paper husband. It was even happier because Xiao Heng was warm.
"You are fine~"
She crossed her hands on her chin, her eyes shining.
Xiao Heng liked her almond eyes when he first saw them. Maybe this is one of the reasons why he would not get angry with her easily.
He tilted his head slightly, looked at the screen on the computer, and said slowly: "Boss Xu's game seems to be still going on."
Just one sentence immediately diverted Xu Jiaojiao's attention. Seeing another victory, she stamped her feet happily.
"It's so cool! This is the joy of victory!"
She was originally just one Sun Wukong away from three stars, and Li Qing and the other two were unexpected surprises.
In the end, there was no doubt that she won the first place, and her whole mood was relieved.
"Huh, it feels good, it feels good." Xu Jiaojiao patted her chest, and her mind was always lingering around Xiao Heng's birthday.
So she immediately turned around and said to him, "Xiao Heng, happy birthday to you! Although we don't have candles, I can give you a whole electronic candle."
As she said that, Xu Jiaojiao took out a tablet with a dynamic picture of a burning candle on it and placed it next to the cake.
Everything was ready, and she sat back in the chair, "Xiao Heng, you can make a wish now, don't make any noise."
Xiao Heng didn't quite understand why she asked him to do this, but with her ability, she wouldn't succeed in assassinating him when he wasn't paying attention.
Moreover, it seemed that she really wanted to celebrate his birthday.
"Okay."
Xiao Heng closed his eyes, thinking mostly about the peace of the country.
At this moment, a song came to his ears: "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you~"
It was a strange tune that he had never heard before, but he felt very happy.
"Happy birthday! Great, blow the candles!" Xu Jiaojiao clapped happily, as if it was her birthday.
"How do you blow it?" Xiao Heng was a little confused and didn't understand her approach.
"You blow it, and I'll help you." Xu Jiaojiao put her finger on the pause button and looked at him hopefully.
Xiao Heng half-believed and half-doubted, he went over and blew it, and Xu Jiaojiao clicked the pause button, and the candle really went out. She was not idle either, and quickly clapped and congratulated.
"Okay, okay, now it's done. May all your wishes come true! Have some cake. It's sweet. I wonder if you like it."
Xiao Heng looked at the strange meal she handed over and finally took it. He picked up a spoon made of unknown material and scooped a little into his mouth.
It was soft and sweet, different from all the sweet foods he had eaten.
Xu Jiaojiao saw his flash of surprise and guessed that he probably thought it tasted okay, so she felt relieved and continued to recommend the bread crust and fruit filling inside.
"Try these again. The taste is different when eaten together."
Xiao Heng ate it bite by bite according to her "instructions" and it really felt different.
"It tastes weird. It seems that there is no such food in the Great Yan Dynasty."
"Because there was no such food at
that time. If you want to eat it in the future, I can buy it for you, but you have to pay me for running errands." Xu Jiaojiao would not waste any opportunity to make money, especially the silver from Xiao Heng's world.
The conversion value of such coins is too high.
"Okay." Xiao Heng did not refuse, but initially determined that the boss lady was a little money-grubber.
With parents not around, money is indeed a better support.
"Then it's settled! By the way, did you give them the watermelon?"
"Well, they were shocked and wanted to thank Boss Xu in person." Xiao Heng said truthfully.
Fei Lian was so shocked at that time, and this must be what he meant.
He rarely guessed what his subordinates meant.
"That's not necessary. You are paying me. Can we say we are in a business relationship?" Xu Jiaojiao's mind was working quickly and she spoke very politely. "
Boss Xu is very straightforward. There are no twists and turns that give people a headache."
Speaking of which, Xiao Heng really likes her straightforward personality. She is more straightforward than many businessmen he has met.
Xu Jiaojiao smiled. Can you say that she is too lazy to think? Who is thinking with the big money sponsor?
"These are indeed easy to get sweet and greasy if you eat too much. Is this Boss Xu expensive? I want the people in the palace to try it too."
The brothers in Chen An Palace have been through life and death with him, and they have never celebrated their birthdays.
"Of course you can, it's free, I bought it for you! Thank you for giving me such a big business."
"Come to think of it, I still remember that the water is not yet..." Xiao Heng put down the cake and looked at Xu Jiaojiao with a burning gaze.
He always thought that the plan they talked about last night was feasible, so he was just waiting for her to speak.
But from the look on her face, it didn't seem like she remembered it.
Xu Jiaojiao frowned, water?
Wait, a faucet, they seemed to have said that they would pull water, and it was she who gave them the method.
"Oh!" Xu Jiaojiao slammed her fist into her palm in surprise, and suddenly realized, "Sorry, sorry, I really forgot, I'm really not good at my age now, people are not so good when they are in their twenties~"
"There is a long hose in the warehouse downstairs, but I don't know if it is long enough, we can go and try it."
Xiao Heng put down the cake and went downstairs with Xu Jiaojiao.
The hose was very long, and in the end it was really supported from the first floor to their well.
When Xiao Heng came back, he couldn't hide his smile, and his voice was more cheerful than usual, "Boss Xu, you can try to turn on the water, I have already asked someone to hold me over there."
After hearing the voice, Xu Jiaojiao turned on the tap, and the clean water flowed through the hose and disappeared into the mist.
"You can go and have a look, if it's okay, leave it like this, but I can't reduce the water bill!"
In business, it is always important to keep things to one thing and one thing to another. She can treat guests, but she can't reduce the agreed water bill.
"Okay."
Xiao Heng responded calmly, turned around and walked into the mist.
