Chapter 268 Extra if line: He Qing (Sake)
A small villa in Canada, backed by a large forest and facing the water to the east. The yard is spacious, with a clean and tidy white table and two cups of coffee on it.
"Okay, thank you for taking the time out to cooperate with the interview today," Lin Baihe ended the interview by putting on her notebook, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes, "Can I ask you a question here? It won't be written into the report, but it's something we are all quite curious about. Can I ask it?"
This courtyard is quite remote. She took a long drive to get here. She did some cram school work before coming, including the movements of He Qing's shares. She would also have to finalize the details with his public relations officer later.
In fact, she heard a lot of interesting rumors during the investigation. She had prepared herself for rejection. Although the person in front of her seemed to be smiling all the time and was very polite, he occasionally revealed some alienation during the interview.
She understood that these industry leaders were like this. They were used to putting on a show, but in fact, they were rather cold people in private.
But a journalist’s job is to dig out information, maybe it will come in handy someday.
He Qing looked past her and saw the person behind her. He agreed without even thinking: "Okay, ask."
Lin Bai noticed his gaze and guessed that there must be someone behind him. She understood what was going on, but she did not turn around to look rudely. Instead, she asked the question she wanted to ask just now.
"I heard some rumors outside that you stepped back from the stage for your wife. Is this true?"
In the era of highly developed Internet, He Qing invested in many Internet companies, basically as the second shareholder, third shareholder or indirect shareholder. He rarely appeared in public, and except for people in the financial circle, almost no one else had heard of him.
This time, he chose to appear in the interview in order to maintain the stock price of a company that he directly holds.
In the past, he rarely showed up in public and would make some major investments, but in recent years, he has made fewer and fewer appearances. Some people said that he went to Canada to settle down for his wife's retirement.
She just happened to pass by here this time and got in touch with him unintentionally, which was quite lucky.
The man in front of him nodded without hesitation and said readily, "Yes, my wife likes quietness. It's hard to be as quiet as it is now in China. I occasionally bring her here to live for a while."
Lin Bai was slightly surprised. Most people like them would call their partners "Mrs." or "Madam" in public, and rarely would they directly display their relationship as a couple, fearing that outsiders would speculate about their relationship from different interviews, thus causing stock price fluctuations.
Lin Bai walked around the area, smiling business-like, "The scenery here is beautiful. I thought you had settled here."
"I would like to live a life of two people, but my wife has a charity work in China that she can't give up. She likes this job. As my wife's number one fan, of course I have to support her."
He Qing made no secret of his love and affection for his wife and was not stingy in showing it to her.
Lin Bai lowered his head and pretended to organize the notebook in his hand. Charity? It sounds good to be called a means of tax avoidance, but the money can be spent on those who need it. The curve of his mouth did not change at all.
"Your wife is very kind."
He Qing looked at her thoughtfully.
"I don't care what others think of me. My wife always tells me that people with good luck should help those with bad luck. She is a kind person and I am willing to protect this kindness. If you are interested, you can check out her charity fund in China."
Qingjiu picked up the cup of coffee on the table and took a sip. If she hadn't come all the way here and called him several times from home, he would not have accepted any interview. He cherished his current life and didn't want anyone to disturb him.
Lin Bai readily agreed: "Okay, if I can interview your wife then, please introduce me to her."
"No, don't interview her, don't go to interview her, she doesn't like to be disturbed."
He just hated others misunderstanding his wife. Although he thought this behavior was a bit childish, he suddenly felt that it was nothing after explaining it to his wife. A good man is one who fights for his wife. He felt quite proud of himself when he thought about it.
Lin Bai couldn't hold back his laughter. What was he doing? Was he playing pure love?
The two chatted for a few more sentences, and Lin Bai stood up to say goodbye.
There were a few "dong dong dong" sounds of feet walking down the wooden stairs, and Lin Bai looked towards the stairs at the entrance of the villa.
A casually dressed woman wearing flat shoes was holding a book and carrying a small translucent bag containing some...cakes or snacks?
"Are you done with the interview?" a soft female voice sounded.
Before Lin Bai could say hello, He Qing passed by her like a gust of wind and came to greet her. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the woman in front of him looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere.
He Qing naturally took her book, took her hand and asked, "Why did you come out?"
"I can't come out?" Youyu looked at him, with an attitude of if you dare to say you won't let me out, you just wait for me.
"No, no, I'm not questioning you, honey. I'm just concerned about you. You asked me to keep my voice down last time, and I was so quiet that I didn't even dare to breathe."
He Qing had a sincere look on his face and clear eyes, completely without the distant smile just now. As he spoke, he began to put his arm around Youyu's shoulders. Lin Bai felt that the scene was a bit magical, and he didn't know how to describe it. It was a bit like a dog wagging its tail crazily to show its loyalty.
Youyu pushed him but he didn't let her go. "Let me go. I'm going to give some snacks I just made to the reporters."
Why does this guy seem to be sticking to her? Besides, there are outsiders present. Even if he doesn't care about his face, she still needs it.
"Then why don't I give it to her? It's my honor to serve you!" He Qing took the bag from her hand and walked a few steps to Lin Bai. "Here, these are the snacks made by my wife."
It was still the same face, the same smile, but no matter how you looked at it, it revealed a sense of impatience and expulsion.
When He Qing saw her take it, he went back and hugged Youyu, then pushed her shoulders and walked back.
"Hey, hey, I haven't said hello to those reporters yet!" Youyu pushed him.
He Qing handed the book to her and said, "No need to greet them. They are reporters who are in a hurry to catch their flights. I have read the book you are reading before. How about we discuss it?"
Lin Bai was holding the bag, standing there in a daze. When did she say she had to catch a plane?
"Really?"
He Qing saw that she was successfully led astray, and ruffled her hair. Even though he slapped her hair away, he continued to do it, saying with conviction:
"Of course, of course. Your husband knows everything about astronomy and geography."
The voice gradually faded away, and the people working in this house sent Lin Bai out. When she was leaving, she suddenly remembered that she had seen her on a live broadcast platform. The staff sent her to the door and smiled as they expressed their wish not to reveal Youyu's identity.
Lin Bai suddenly remembered that he had seen her in the musical notes, and his heart trembled as if he had glimpsed some secret.
Youyu stared at the guilty-looking man in front of him, crossed his arms and asked, "Don't you know everything?"
"It's indeed a blind spot in knowledge. How about I take some on-the-spot training?" He looked at his wife innocently.
He Qing is not an erudite reader, but he has read quite a few books. However, the things his wife is interested in are very niche, and it is indeed difficult for him to keep up.
What is there for the fish swimming downstream to not understand? He was just deceiving himself.
"He Qing!"
A slightly angry voice sounded.
"Wrong, wrong. Really wrong."
While saying this, he exerted force on his hands and pulled the fish into his arms, like a koala hugging its beloved thing.
"open!"
"Okay." No release.
"Let go of you."
"Okay." Still didn't let go.
Youyu stopped struggling. He did this almost every day here. He called it a time to spend time alone together. She snuggled in his arms and started flipping through the book, too lazy to argue with him.
He Qing was like a giant dragon that had obtained a treasure. He circled him and rested his chin on her head, enjoying this quiet moment.
"Let's go back home next week."
The sound of swimming fish suddenly rang out.
"don't want."
"Then you stay here, I will go back by myself."
"No, honey, you're going too far. We've finally been able to spend a few days together as a couple. Can you bear to let me go back to that kind of life?" He Qing's voice was weak and broken.
A question mark popped up in Youyu's head.
"What kind of life?"
"Life without a wife."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Anyway, I won't agree unless——"
"Unless what?"
He Qing whispered something in her ear, as if a feather was brushing past.
Instantly Youyu's face flushed red, and he said angrily: "He Qing, are you sick? In broad daylight, do you still have any shame?!"
I felt that he was shameless before we got married, and it became even worse after we got married. He could say anything.
Youyu struggled in his arms, but He Qing had long arms and legs, and quickly restrained her, pressing her down on the sofa with his backhand.
With his hands on both sides, he gently touched her rosy lips, and then touched her again in Youyu's incredulous eyes. He Qing laughed softly, and the next moment he leaned close to her, his vague words dissipating between his lips and teeth.
"Why not? How can I marry you if I have the dignity to do so?"
