Chapter 517: Convinced



"Let Huang Xiaohua give Deputy Team Leader Jiang a try at massage. If he says it's okay, I'll consider it!"

Qin Xiao actually agreed to Huang Hubo's proposal!

Jiang Yun found it incredible.

Seeing that Huang Hupo was about to turn around and look for her, Jiang Jun quickly lowered the curtains and ran back to the bed to get her toiletries to wash her face and brush her teeth.

Qin Xiao turned around and saw the curtains swaying slightly through the window glass. His eyes behind the lenses seemed thoughtful.

Huang Hubo dragged Huang Xiaohua over to knock on Jiang Yun's door. Excited, they knocked loudly and called out so loudly that they could be heard in the corridor: "Deputy Team Leader Jiang? Are you up?"

Jiang Jun was brushing her teeth in the house, feeling speechless. It would have been enough for her to just call her name, but why did she have to ask her if she was up?

The level of this propaganda chief is so weird.

"Section Chief Huang!" Jiang Jun put down the toothbrush holder and wiped his mouth with a towel as he went to open the door, fearing that Huang Hupo would yell something even more exaggerated. "What happened?"

Huang Hupo deliberately ignored the questioning in Jiang Jun's tone and smiled warmly, "Deputy Team Leader Jiang, you're up! I saw you were so tired yesterday, and I thought you were sleeping soundly. I was afraid you couldn't hear me, so I tried a little harder. Haha, I'm glad I didn't wake you up."

Jiang Jun knew that Huang Hupo was trying to get close to her, so she pretended to close the door. "I'm a little tired, I'm watching the time. I'll go over to breakfast later, don't call me."

Huang Hupo quickly held the door open and pulled Huang Xiaohua out. "Deputy Team Leader Jiang, there's still half an hour until breakfast. I'm not here to call you to eat. I'm here to ask Xiaohua to give you a massage. Xiaohua's hands are very precise and the massage feels really good."

Huang Xiaohua smiled sweetly and looked at Jiang Jun eagerly, as if she was particularly looking forward to getting Jiang Jun's approval.

Huang Humber spoke while looking at Jiang Jun's door, but she was glancing at the corridor to see if there was any figure flashing. She spoke so loudly just so that Qin Xiao could hear.

Jiang Jun was almost dying of laughter. He opened the door and let them in. "Then I'll have to trouble Comrade Huang Xiaohua!"

Massage is so comfortable!

Empress Dowager Cixi had a palace maid serving her anytime and anywhere. I feel envious just thinking about it. Now that I have this condition, I might as well enjoy it.

After pinching, Jiang Jun used the excuse of changing clothes to let Huang Hupo and Huang Xiaohua go first, and she would come later.

To be honest, Huang Xiaohua's massage technique is not as good as Huang Hubo's. You can feel that Huang Xiaohua is trying hard to do it well, but he doesn't know how to control the strength right. He is light when he should be heavy, and heavy when he should be light, which makes Jiang Jun very uncomfortable.

After locking the door, Jiang Jun ran to take a shower to wash away the unpleasant feeling caused by his inability to grasp the situation properly.

When she finally dressed and went out, Qin Xiao was the only one in the corridor: "The restaurant in front is too crowded, I asked the waiter to bring breakfast over here."

Yuntaoju is equipped with a large VIP dining room to facilitate leaders who come for recuperation to entertain guests.

There is a large round table for twelve people in the private room, and an eight-person table next to it.

Jiang Jun went into the private room and sat down. He saw a bowl of white porridge, a basket of four small meat buns, a basket of steamed dumplings, a plate of boiled dried bean curd, and a plate of pickled mustard greens on the eight-immortal table. There were only two sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Qin Xiao sat down opposite Jiang Jun, scooped up half a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of Jiang Jun: "They are all in the guesthouse cafeteria. I am the one waiting for you."

Jiang Jun was already accustomed to Qin Xiao's gentlemanly demeanor and smiled, "Thank you!"

The breakfasts are all very delicate and look very appetizing.

Qin Xiao introduced Jiang Jun: "This steamed dumpling is the most popular snack in the nursing home. It has a vegetarian filling. Eat the vegetarian steamed dumplings first, then the soup dumplings, so the flavors won't mix."

The filling of the steamed dumplings is mushrooms and tender bamboo shoots. The taste is fresh, refreshing and not greasy, which is very much to Jiang Yun's liking.

The same pink and white meat buns look like rice balls, and the meat filling is added with crab roe sauce, which is extremely delicious.

If you eat the meat buns first and then the vegetarian dumplings, the crab roe sauce will have a fishy smell.

Sure enough, Qin Xiao is a Michelin-starred gourmet expert!

Every food on the table was delicious.

Jiang Jun ate with great satisfaction: "The selection of ingredients, the chef's skill, and the order of tasting are indeed very important!"

Qin Xiao smiled slightly: "It depends on who you are with, where you are, and how you feel."

Jiang Jun was startled, lowered his head and pretended not to hear. He continued to scoop the last mouthful of porridge into his mouth and tasted it carefully: "This porridge is also cooked very well, so fragrant!"

Qin Xiao continued, "There's a bamboo forest in the backyard. When I'm in the mood, I put two plates of cakes on the stone table, brew a pot of green tea, and watch the breeze and bright moon. It's very comfortable."

Jiang Jun thought of Qin Xiao's back that he saw in the early morning. When his mood of appreciating bamboo was interrupted by Huang Humber, he didn't feel happy, but annoyed, right?

Especially when thinking about Huang Xiaohua's massage just now, which didn't distinguish between light and heavy, and Huang Hupo's way of speaking regardless of the occasion and the importance, Jiang Jun couldn't help but want to laugh.

Qin Xiao pushed his chair aside and stood up: "Xiao Jiang, I have some good green tea, are you interested in trying it?"

Jiang Jun had accidentally overeaten and wanted to drink some green tea to relieve the greasy feeling. "Great! Director Qin's recommendation must be excellent!"

Sitting at the tea table by the window, Jiang Jun held the teacup, sniffed the fragrant tea vapor, and looked at the green bamboo outside the window. He felt so comfortable that he began to envy the ancients.

Jiang Jun remembered Xiao Fang's praise and asked, "Director Qin, you are very knowledgeable about poetry, right?"

Qin Xiao stared at the bamboo forest with a distant gaze. "It's not really research. Lingcheng is an ancient capital. When we were little, every street and alley, every hilltop and riverside spot, wherever there were old houses and pavilions, there would be stone tablets and pillars engraved with poems and couplets. A bunch of kids would compete to see who knew the most characters and who could recite the most. It was impossible not to know."

Jiang Jun tilted his head to reflect on the scene. "That really touched my heart! To understand the meaning of poetry requires years of diligent study!"

This is what Chen Yuanwu told her!

If you don’t take it to heart, you can’t understand the artistic conception.

If you only understand it literally, it will hurt the author the most.

Qin Xiao hummed lightly: "What a pity, those views are gone."

Because of the Cultural Revolution, cultural relics and historical sites were severely damaged. Seeing them only makes one feel heartbroken, and the poetic and picturesque scene can no longer be found.

Only from the perspective of the Yuntao Residence reception room could Jiang Jun see a small hidden ditch near the bamboo forest that drew water from the hot springs. The mist that appeared and disappeared from time to time in the bamboo forest was actually the water vapor from the hot springs.

This unique garden construction style utilizes the natural geographical conditions to integrate residence with nature, which is very close to the Japanese construction aesthetic concept.

"Director Qin, your choice of environment is truly first-rate! What a shame you didn't study architecture!" Jiang Jun felt sorry for Qin Xiao. Someone who pursued beauty so much should be involved in art. "You could then create the poetic realm you envisioned!"
