Chapter 74 They are an old married couple
Chi Cheng looked at his slightly red ears and his forcedly calm profile, a dark glint in his eyes.
He reached out his hand, not to touch Wu Suowei, but to pick up a pencil on the table and lightly draw a line at a structural joint on the blueprint. His tone was casual but powerful: "Here, use light steel keels to replace some of the solid wood. The structure is strong enough and the cost is half. The carvings are veneered with prefabricated components, and the effect is the same."
He paused and added, "Party A wants something that 'looks like', not a genuine antique."
Wu Suowei suddenly looked up and looked at the place Chi Cheng pointed and the simple line he drew.
My mind was quickly calculating the cost and feasibility.
His eyes lit up little by little! That’s right! Why didn’t he think of that!
Chi Cheng's casual gesture was like a ray of light. The problem that had troubled him for half a day seemed to have a solution in an instant!
"Oh! That's right!" Wu Suowei slammed the table excitedly and almost spilled the soy milk.
He grabbed a pen and began to calculate rapidly based on the lines drawn by Chi Cheng, muttering to himself, "Light steel keel... prefabricated components... the cost can be reduced by at least 30%... and the effect can still be guaranteed..."
Hey hey hey... I can make some extra money...
Chi Cheng looked at his focused profile, his eyes that were slightly shining with excitement, and his eyelashes that were trembling slightly due to his rapid writing.
The way the little thing looks when it's serious... is kind of cute.
He calmly picked up Wu Suowei's half-drunk soy milk and took a sip through the straw.
The movements were so natural that they seemed natural.
After Wu Suowei finished calculating, he breathed a sigh of relief, his face showing relief and a hint of pride after solving the problem.
He habitually reached out to touch the soy milk cup, but found nothing.
When I turned my head, I saw Chi Cheng holding his cup, his lips just leaving the straw.
Wu Suowei: “!!!”
His eyes widened instantly, his face flushed red, and he pointed at the cup, his words stuttering: "You...you...I drank that!"
Chi Cheng raised his eyebrows and shook the cup. There was still a little half of the soy milk left in it.
His tone was calm, but his eyes were teasing. "Huh? What's wrong? Are you afraid I'll poison you?"
He deliberately took another sip, his Adam's apple rolled, but his eyes were fixed on Wu Suowei's flushed face.
Then, he slowly approached the blushing face and said, "We've seen what we should see and done what we should do. We can be considered an old married couple, right?"
The two people are very close.
Wu Suowei could clearly see his own reflection in Chi Cheng's deep pupils, small, disheveled, with red eyes.
Chi Cheng could also clearly smell the faint smell of sweat and pencil dust on Wu Suowei's body, as well as a hint of... a very light and cold scent belonging to his shampoo.
The air seemed to freeze.
Wu Suowei's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, and the grievance he had just felt was replaced by a more unfamiliar throbbing.
Chi Cheng's eyes were unfathomable, as if there was a whirlpool pulling him down.
He's looking at me...with such a strange look...
Wu Suowei felt his cheeks getting hot.
"Neuropathy……"
He subconsciously wanted to step back and distance himself from her, which was too ambiguous.
Just as his body leaned back slightly, Chi Cheng moved.
He did not let Wu Suowei retreat, but instead took half a step forward, and his tall figure almost completely covered Wu Suowei.
He lowered his head, his hot breath spraying on Wu Suowei's sensitive earlobes. His voice was very low, with a hoarse magnetism, like a feather scratching the nerves:
"The blueprint is ugly, I'll help you draw it." He paused, his breath getting closer, almost touching Wu Suowei's earlobe, "You're stupid, I'll teach you."
His voice was like a hook, and every word struck at Wu Suowei's heart. "You just need to...show me those 'ideas' in your head, bit by bit."
Wu Suowei's ears instantly turned red as if dripping blood, his body stiffened as if he had been electrocuted, and his mind went blank.
He could feel Chi Cheng's breath, and could feel the close, aggressive sense of oppression.
He felt like he was nailed to the spot, unable to move, only his heart was beating wildly in his chest.
Chi Cheng looked at him with a dazed and embarrassed look, and the darkness in his eyes deepened.
He stretched out his hand, not to touch, but with his fingertips, very slowly and with a hint of teasing, he gently stroked Wu Suowei's Adam's apple, which was slightly rolling due to nervousness.
The cold fingertips touching the warm skin brought a strong shudder.
"Do you understand?" Chi Cheng's voice was bewitching.
Wu Suowei suddenly shuddered and bounced back with all his strength like a frightened rabbit, and his back hit the edge of the desk with a "bang".
He covered his throat, which had been hit. His cheeks flushed red, his eyes darted around in panic, and his voice changed tone: "I understand... I understand! I... I will continue to draw... No! I will conceive! Conceive!"
He spoke incoherently, grabbed another pencil on the table, and pretended to scribble on the drawing, but his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
Chi Cheng looked at his panic-stricken expression, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He didn't move any closer, but walked to the whiteboard, picked up a marker, and really started to help Wu Suowei refine the design.
The tip of the pen slid across the whiteboard, making a rustling sound that was particularly clear in the quiet office.
Wu Suowei lowered his head, pretending to be focused, but his ears were perked up, listening to the rustling sound, feeling the lingering strong aura belonging to Chi Cheng in the office and the heart-pounding ambiguous warmth just now, and the heat on his face did not subside for a long time.
At the same time, the Wang family.
Wang Shuo leaned listlessly on the expensive velvet sofa in his room, unconsciously swiping the screen of his mobile phone.
The sun was shining outside the window, but he felt cold all over.
Ever since the day when his elder brother Wang Zhen forcibly dragged him away from Chi Yuanduan and locked him up at home, he felt like a tiger with its teeth pulled out, no, a cat with its teeth pulled out.
Frustrated, angry, and more importantly, unwilling.
The phone vibrated. It was an encrypted message from an informant he had secretly planted near Wu Suowei's company.
The target company has been active recently, with Guo Chengyu's elite team joining the company and additional registered capital, potentially leading to significant financing. Core team member: Wu Suowei. Project direction: Highly confidential, suspected to be related to imperial antiques. Wu himself has been staying up late for several consecutive days, appearing to be in a state of hyperactivity.
Wu Suowei?! Wang Shuo sat up straight, his fingers clenching the phone tightly, his knuckles turning white.
Guo Chengyu invested in him? And even sent an elite team?!
What palace? What antique? Why?!
A poor loser! A man who only rose to prominence by sleeping with Chi Cheng! Does he even know what an antique is?!
Huge jealousy and resentment grew wildly like poison ivy, instantly devouring his remaining sanity.
No! We must not let Wu Suowei get up! We must not let him have the right to stand beside Chi Cheng!
Who the hell is he?! Those resources! Those opportunities! They should all be mine! Mine!
