Entertainment Industry Acting Emperor
Chapter 53 Gifts
"I really didn't expect you to have such high attainments in calligraphy and painting." After the two of them had lunch, Xi Qing drank Xiaoshi tea with some appreciation and emotion in his expression: "Every time I see you, I feel that you are better than me." Better than imagined."
"Isn't this the most basic quality of being an idol?" Gong Xiqiao joked to herself, "Otherwise, how can I get more fans."
"There are many young people who like you now." Xi Qing put down the teacup, looked at the mist on the surface of the teacup, and inexplicably gained courage from the hesitation in her heart, "I don't know how many people want to pursue you now."
"Huh?" Gong Xiqiao looked at Xi Qing suspiciously, seeing that he seemed to just mention it casually, and said with a smile, "The ones who like me now all like the big star Gong Xiqiao. I have a lot of shortcomings in my bones, and I can really accept these. There may be few shortcomings."
Xi Qing tightly held the teacup, "You're fine."
"Haha, thank you for your compliment," Gongxiqiao smiled heartily, and glanced at his watch, "It's almost two o'clock in the afternoon, isn't your company busy?"
"I don't have anything to do in the afternoon," Xi Qing put down the teacup, "Xue Chong is holding a birthday party tonight, if you are fine, why don't you join in the fun together, since I saw your masterpiece at the exhibition, I have highly respected you. He would be very happy if you could go."
"Is that an exaggeration?" Gong Xiqiao thought that Xi Qing was exaggerating the facts, smiled and said, "Young Master Xue is not such a calm person." Fortunately, today he brought a gift bought abroad, and he originally planned to let Xi What Qing brought to Xu Shaoxuan and Xue Chong is still sent out by himself now, at least it is not empty-handed.
"You'll know when you see him." Xi Qing got up and said, "I think there is a movie theater nearby. It's still early, why don't we go to a movie to pass the time first."
Gong Xiqiao's brows moved slightly, and she looked at the cup in front of Xi Qing being held up several times by the owner with a half-smile, but there was not much tea missing, "Okay, I heard that "National Industry" has not been offline yet, how about we Go and watch it again. At the premiere last time, because Mi Yue kept crying, I didn't really enjoy the movie."
"National Industry" is well-received, the theme and stance are part of the reason, but if the filming is not exciting enough, with the picky taste of movie fans, they will never show mercy. After the film was released, there were constant criticisms.So he watched this movie carefully once, which is also good for the improvement of his acting skills.
Xi Qing had no objection to Gong Xiqiao's suggestion. Like ordinary movie fans, the two queued up to buy tickets, and then entered the screening hall.
Before the movie officially started, there were advertisements for other movies on the big screen. Gong Xiqiao took off the hat and glasses that were used as a cover, stuffed the popcorn bought in the movie theater into Xi Qing's hands, and took the potato chips by himself.
After a while, the movie started, and the attendance rate of the entire auditorium should be around 60.00%. "National Industry" has been in theaters for a long time, and now it is school and work time, so it is very rare to have such a high attendance rate.
Although Admiral Zheng played by Gong Xiqiao is an important role, he doesn't have a lot of roles, so when he watches this movie as a moviegoer, he can truly appreciate the charm of this movie.
The damage caused by the war is irreparable. He has seen too many tragedies on the battlefield in his previous life, so he has a deep understanding of the war scenes in this drama.
When the movie was less than halfway through, he heard a few sniffles from the audience, and even Xi Qing beside him looked serious.
"I brought these materials back from abroad." The young man took out several crumpled notebooks from the box, and took out a few pieces of paper with structural diagrams from the interlayer of his coat. The materials related to the principle were burned before I left, but I kept them in my mind."
This young man in his 20s had exceptionally firm eyes.
Xi Qing watched the delicate young people from head to toe on the screen dig out confidential information from the soles of their shoes, which shows how much effort he has put in to bring back these materials.He couldn't help but look sideways at Gongxi Qiao who was sitting next to him. It was obviously the same face, but the feeling was so different.
"Do you want to eat?" Seeing that Xi Qing was looking at her, Gong Xiqiao handed the potato chips to Xi Qing, "It seems to taste like barbecue, and it's not bad to eat."
Xi Qing casually took two pieces of potato chips and put them into her mouth, took a few casual bites and swallowed them, her mind was in a trance, she didn't even taste any taste, and she didn't know what to say.
At the end of the movie, the war is over, everyone has gained peace again, and the whole country is jubilant.The last shot fell on the martyr's monument, where there are countless names and ages of the martyrs and the troops they belonged to.
Behind the great cause of the country and happiness is the blood of countless people.
This is a moving drama from the beginning to the end. Hearing the low sobs all around, Gong Xiqiao suddenly remembered his previous life. After the lord ascended the throne, he killed many heroes, but he was still rated as the wise emperor by later generations. , perhaps he brought a stable life to the people.
When the two walked out of the cinema, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.Gong Xiqiao got into Xi Qing's car, glanced at the bodyguard sitting in the driver's seat, and said to Xi Qing, "The movie is over, why do you still look so serious?"
"The movie is good," Xi Qing said, the phone rang, and it was Xue Chong who called to remind him.
When Xue Chong on the other end of the phone heard that Gong Xiqiao was also going there, he immediately swallowed his unspoken urging and told Xi Qing to take good care of Gong Xiqiao along the way, before hanging up the phone.
Gong Xiqiao sat very close to Xi Qing, so he could hear what Xue Chong said clearly.After Xi Qing hung up the phone, he said with a smile, "It seems that you just said that Young Master Xue likes my works, it's not a joke."
"I won't lie to you." Xi Qing put down the phone and said softly.
Gongxi Qiao smiled with the corners of her lips curled up, but didn't say anything.
Fengxianglou is an old restaurant that has been passed down for hundreds of years in the imperial capital, and it has been a favorite restaurant for dignitaries and guests since its inception, so even now, its overall consumption level is not affordable for ordinary people.Therefore, netizens often post photos of eating in Fengxianglou to show off their wealth. It can be seen that consumption here has become a symbol of wealth and status.
Xue Chongjin, as the host of today's birthday party, made friends and companions very lively, no matter if it was true or fake friendship, he gave him young master Xue a face and actively came to join him.
As the heir of a great family, Xue Chong had already celebrated a birthday within the family at noon, and this meal was to get together with the younger generations of the imperial capital and bond with each other.
Those who can come to this birthday dinner are all famous young people in the imperial capital, so the birthday presents given out are also generous, such as cars, watches and jade, it is not necessarily rare for Xue Chong to collect a bunch of gifts.
"Young Master Xue looks out of his mind. Could it be that he is waiting for some stunning beauty to appear on the stage?" Someone present saw Xue Chong looking at the door from time to time, and said with a smile, "We must appreciate the beauty later."
"You people are so vulgar, am I Xue Chong like that?" Xue Chong raised his eyebrows proudly, "Later Brother Xi will bring my idol to celebrate my birthday, can I not be happy?"
Upon hearing the title "Brother Xi", most of the young masters and young ladies at the scene felt a little guilty. You must know that "Xi Qing" is a "child of other people" in their circle, and their parents have always used him since they were young. as a reference.Now they are the uncompromising heads of the Xi family, and they are still idle heirs, the difference between them is not a tiny bit.
"Young Master Xue still has face, even brother Xi is here," everyone praised Xue Chong and Xi Qing with good words after recovering.Everyone in this circle knew that Xi Qing didn't like to join in the fun, but the Xue family had been relying on the Xi family all these years and won the trust of the Xi family.The relationship between Xue Chong and Xi Qing in this generation is even better, so he can have more face in front of Xi Qing than them.
Some people are sincere compliments, while others are deliberately sowing discord, but Xue Chong's baby face is full of joy from the beginning to the end, as if he can't hear the provocation in some people's words at all.
Bai Qi, who came to the birthday party on behalf of the younger generation of the Bai family, is Bai Chong's cousin. feeling.
There were rumors from the outside world that the relationship between Bai Zhong and this cousin was not very good, but no one had seen it with their own eyes, so they discussed it in private, and no one would reveal it to the face.
Hearing everyone teasing Xue Chong, Bai Qi listened quietly and laughed without saying a word. After everyone had finished talking, he opened his mouth and said, "I don't know how outstanding a person who can be regarded as an idol by Young Master Xue is."
Xue Chong glanced at Bai Qi, and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a loud voice: "Brother Xi is here." He immediately stood up and walked towards the door.
Xu Shaoxuan glanced at Bai Qi with a half-smile, and said slowly, "Young Master Bai is very concerned about Brother Xi's affairs."
Bai Qi smiled back: "Everyone has curiosity."
"Oh?" Xu Shaoxuan raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.
"Brother Xi."
"Brother Xi."
The princes, brothers and ladies who were still sitting on the chairs and chatting on their mobile phones got up one after another, and said hello to Xi Qing who entered the door.
"Sorry, we're late." Xi Qing nodded to everyone after entering the room.
Everyone heard that he said "we" and not "I", so they all looked at Gong Xiqiao who was beside Xi Qing, and many people felt familiar.Last time I met Gongxi Qiao's brother-in-law in the Golden Tower, he took the initiative to say hello with a wink, "Young Master Qiao just came back from abroad?"
"I originally planned to come back with the national delegation a few days ago, but some things were delayed, and it was delayed until today." Gong Xiqiao looked at Xue Chong with a smile, "Shouxing Gong looks more handsome than ever today, I wish you Happy birthday, I didn’t know that today is your birthday, and I didn’t prepare a gift for you, so I’m really sorry.” After finishing speaking, he handed the gift box in his hand to Xue Chong, “This is a gift I brought back from abroad. If you don’t like it, don’t dislike it.”
"You can come to give me face." Xue Chong happily took the gift box and said with a smile, "I will be even happier if you can write me an adverb later."
"Since Young Master Xue said this, how could I refuse." Gong Xiqiao smiled and exchanged greetings with Xue Chong, seeing that Xue Chong wanted to greet other people, she found an excuse and walked away.
Xu Shaoxuan looked at the gift box handed to him, and thanked him with a smile on his face, "This exchange meeting was very successful, congratulations."
"Thank you." Gong Xiqiao's seat was arranged next to Xi Qing, and next to him was Xu Shaoxuan. Judging from this ranking, Xue Chong really did whatever he wanted.
The corner of Xi Qing's eyes landed on the gift box in Xu Shaoxuan's hand many times, she pursed her lips and said nothing with a sullen face.But he has always looked expressionless, and no one can see that something is wrong.
Others paid more attention to Gong Xiqiao. They already knew that Xi Qing had a good relationship with a certain artist, and some time ago, they let this artist meet with the younger generation of the Xi family faction.At first they thought it was Xi Qing who had some meaning for this artist, but now it doesn't look like it, who would seriously bring toys to this occasion.
And judging from Xue Chong and Xu Shaoxuan's attitudes, it seems that they are relatively close to Gong Xiqiao, which is not like the attitude towards ordinary artists.
Those who are more familiar with Gong Xiqiao think of the "Wonderful Hands" and "Palace Banquet" that have been praised by major media recently. It is really impossible for someone who can win glory for the country on such an international occasion. Ordinary entertainer.Although they are born with a little arrogance in their bones, they still respect people with real talents.
So even though Gong Xiqiao was born as a nouveau riche, he is promising and has outstanding talent and temperament. It is no wonder that someone like Xi Qing can befriend him.
After the banquet started, everyone came and went, pushing cups and changing cups, making the scene very lively.As a newcomer to this circle, Gong Xiqiao was also drunk several times. If he hadn't filled his stomach after serving the table, he might have been drunk by now.
Halfway through the meal, Xue Chong was still thinking about Gongxi Qiao's calligraphy. Seeing that his subordinates had already found pens, ink, paper and inkstones, he ordered them to put them on the table. Then add: "In case you get drunk later, who do I ask to write?"
Gongxiqiao had no choice but to put down her chopsticks, and chose a convenient one from a row of writing brushes. After thinking about it, she wrote down the eight characters "Happy Birthday, Anping Fule" by hand.
Seeing these eight characters, everyone was amazed again and again. They are so magnificent and majestic. It is really wonderful.
"Good handwriting, good handwriting, vigorous and powerful, flying and spirited, worthy of being a master." Xue Chong blushed with excitement, and after Gong Xiqiao signed the signature, he couldn't wait for the ink to dry, so he hurriedly asked his staff to help him connect the words Take the table and carry it away, as if afraid of being snatched away by others.
When Gongxi Qiao showed his hand, many people were stunned, and even a few people had the cheek to ask him for words.Faced with these people's requests, Gongxiqiao just laughed, but didn't say whether it was possible or not.
"The soup is getting cold," Xi Qing said, seeing that everyone was still surrounding Gongxi Qiao, "Xiao Qiao, come and drink the soup."
Seeing that Xi Qing opened his mouth, the people who were still surrounding Gongxi Qiao were embarrassed to continue to surround Gongxi Qiao with the cheek, so they had to slowly disperse. Several of them really wanted to ask for pen and ink.
Gong Xiqiao is now a well-known rising star in the painting and calligraphy circles. Some old men and women in their families are good at it. If they can take a piece of work back, it's good to please them.
"You don't need to pay attention to those people." Xi Qing handed a bowl of soup to Gong Xiqiao, and said softly, "Some people are just the second-generation ancestors of the side branch, and they don't have the face to ask you to write specially."
"In your eyes, do I have such a high status?" Amused by Xi Qing's words, Gong Xiqiao picked up the bowl, trembling with laughter, and almost spilled the soup, "If other people hear it, I'm not mad at you yet."
"Whatever they do," Xi Qing reached out to hold his bowl to prevent the soup from spilling on his hands. "They are angry, and there is nothing they can do. What's more, you are better than them." His fingertips were Carefully touched the back of the other's warm hand, my heart skipped a beat, but I held it back firmly.
"I didn't expect that you still like to see others who are obviously angry but helpless to you." Gong Xiqiao brought the bowl to his mouth, and took a few sips slowly. "The soup from this old shop still tastes authentic."
"Well, the soup and Baiweixuan here are the best in the imperial capital." Xi Qing withdrew her hand and scratched the finger that touched the back of Gong Xiqiao's hand unnaturally, "If you like it, we will come again next time .”
Xu Shaoxuan, who was sitting next to Gongxiqiao, looked at the two of them chatting happily, thought for a while and said: "I heard that this family's ancestors have handed down their craftsmanship from the imperial chef, and their dim sum is also very particular. Our old lady I like the dim sum here.”
"That's true. My mother also likes the dim sum here. My dad often finds a way to bring it to her. Unfortunately, the dim sum here is limited. Many times, my dad and I can't order it with money." Gong Xiqiao knew The status of the family is not as good as these people in front of them, so it's normal to have to queue up to order dim sum here, unlike them, someone personally delivers it to the door.But he also felt inferior because of these things, instead he acted very open and generous, "In the future, with your face, I will definitely come to them to order dim sum often, so I don't have to worry about having money and nowhere to spend it."
"With your current status, who will not give you this face," Xu Shaoxuan said with a smile, the more he looks at Gong Xiqiao more pleasingly now, "Why don't we make a bet to see who dare not give you this face."
"I won't make this bet. Who doesn't know that I'm with you at this moment, so I will give this face naturally, but it doesn't matter who it is for." Gong Xiqiao smiled and shook his head, "So Brother Xu, you still Stop teasing me."
"Since Auntie likes it, I'll ask them to deliver two servings to Auntie later." Xi Qing looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table, and picked out a few dishes that Gong Xiqiao liked with serving chopsticks and put them in his bowl, "Eat again Order something, I see that you have been disturbed by them tonight and have nothing to eat."
Seeing his action, Xu Chao raised his eyebrows.
Bai Qi, who was sitting across from the three of them, watched their interaction silently, his eyes hidden under the lens fell on Gong Xiqiao for a long time, and then he took it back.
The host and guests had a great time at the banquet, and Gong Xiqiao drank until her cheeks turned red. After saying goodbye to everyone, she got into Xi Qing's car.
"Brother Xi, are you taking Xiao Qiao home?" Seeing this scene, Xu Shaoxuan stepped forward and said, "If it's inconvenient for you, I'll do it."
"No, I'm familiar with his family." Xi Qing followed into the car and sat next to Gong Xiqiao, "You also drank a lot tonight, go back to rest early, don't worry about us."
Watching the low-key black car leave slowly, Xu Shaoxuan smiled. He didn't expect the day when workaholics would take their own initiative to send people home.
After sending Gongxi Qiao to the door, when Gongxi Qiao was about to get out of the car, he suddenly remembered the small bag that he had thrown in the back seat, so he asked, "Where is my bag?"
"Here," Xi Qing saw that although he was awake, but his face was flushed, he couldn't help but said, "I'll send you back to your room to rest first."
"It's okay," Gong Xiqiao rubbed her hot face, put an exquisite box in Xi Qing's palm, and smiled with crooked eyebrows, "This is a gift for you." After finishing speaking, she turned to him He waved his hand, "It's late, you go home early, I'll go back to sleep, good night."
Xi Qing put the gift box on the back seat of the car, got out of the car, and accompanied Gong Xiqiao to the door, and chatted with Aunt Luo, explaining how much Gong Xiqiao drank before leaving Gong Xiqiao's villa.
"Young Master Qiao, you are a very kind friend." Aunt Luo looked at the closed door and said with emotion.It must be a careful person who cares about Qiao Shao's body so much.
Gongxi Qiao smiled and said after a moment of silence: "Well, it's pretty good."
The royal blue box was opened, and inside lay a very beautiful watch.
Xi Qing quietly stared at this beautifully crafted watch, took off the old watch on her wrist, and put on this one.
The platinum gold watch chain, accompanied by the white shirt sleeves, is extraordinarily beautiful.
"Boss, shall we go back now?" the bodyguard who was driving asked in a low voice.
Xi Qing looked up towards the window of the room where Gong Xiqiao lived, and waited in silence for about ten minutes. After the lights in this room came on, he rolled up the car window, looked at his left wrist wearing the watch, and opened his mouth slowly. Said: "Go back."
"Isn't this the most basic quality of being an idol?" Gong Xiqiao joked to herself, "Otherwise, how can I get more fans."
"There are many young people who like you now." Xi Qing put down the teacup, looked at the mist on the surface of the teacup, and inexplicably gained courage from the hesitation in her heart, "I don't know how many people want to pursue you now."
"Huh?" Gong Xiqiao looked at Xi Qing suspiciously, seeing that he seemed to just mention it casually, and said with a smile, "The ones who like me now all like the big star Gong Xiqiao. I have a lot of shortcomings in my bones, and I can really accept these. There may be few shortcomings."
Xi Qing tightly held the teacup, "You're fine."
"Haha, thank you for your compliment," Gongxiqiao smiled heartily, and glanced at his watch, "It's almost two o'clock in the afternoon, isn't your company busy?"
"I don't have anything to do in the afternoon," Xi Qing put down the teacup, "Xue Chong is holding a birthday party tonight, if you are fine, why don't you join in the fun together, since I saw your masterpiece at the exhibition, I have highly respected you. He would be very happy if you could go."
"Is that an exaggeration?" Gong Xiqiao thought that Xi Qing was exaggerating the facts, smiled and said, "Young Master Xue is not such a calm person." Fortunately, today he brought a gift bought abroad, and he originally planned to let Xi What Qing brought to Xu Shaoxuan and Xue Chong is still sent out by himself now, at least it is not empty-handed.
"You'll know when you see him." Xi Qing got up and said, "I think there is a movie theater nearby. It's still early, why don't we go to a movie to pass the time first."
Gong Xiqiao's brows moved slightly, and she looked at the cup in front of Xi Qing being held up several times by the owner with a half-smile, but there was not much tea missing, "Okay, I heard that "National Industry" has not been offline yet, how about we Go and watch it again.

This young man in his 20s had exceptionally firm eyes.
Xi Qing watched the delicate young people from head to toe on the screen dig out confidential information from the soles of their shoes, which shows how much effort he has put in to bring back these materials.He couldn't help but look sideways at Gongxi Qiao who was sitting next to him.

"The movie is good," Xi Qing said, the phone rang, and it was Xue Chong who called to remind him.
When Xue Chong on the other end of the phone heard that Gong Xiqiao was also going there, he immediately swallowed his unspoken urging and told Xi Qing to take good care of Gong Xiqiao along the way, before hanging up the phone.
Gong Xiqiao sat very close to Xi Qing, so he could hear what Xue Chong said clearly.After Xi Qing hung up the phone, he said with a smile, "It seems that you just said that Young Master Xue likes my works, it's not a joke."

Gongxi Qiao smiled with the corners of her lips curled up, but didn't say anything.
Fengxianglou is an old restaurant that has been passed down for hundreds of years in the imperial capital, and it has been a favorite restaurant for dignitaries and guests since its inception, so even now, its overall consumption level is not affordable for ordinary people.Therefore, netizens often post photos of eating in Fengxianglou to show off their wealth. It can be seen that consumption here has become a symbol of wealth and status.
Xue Chongjin, as the host of today's birthday party, made friends and companions very lively, no matter if it was true or fake friendship, he gave him young master Xue a face and actively came to join him.
As the heir of a great family, Xue Chong had already celebrated a birthday within the family at noon, and this meal was to get together with the younger generations of the imperial capital and bond with each other.

"You people are so vulgar, am I Xue Chong like that?" Xue Chong raised his eyebrows proudly, "Later Brother Xi will bring my idol to celebrate my birthday, can I not be happy?"
Upon hearing the title "Brother Xi", most of the young masters and young ladies at the scene felt a little guilty. You must know that "Xi Qing" is a "child of other people" in their circle, and their parents have always used him since they were young. as a reference.Now they are the uncompromising heads of the Xi family, and they are still idle heirs, the difference between them is not a tiny bit.

Some people are sincere compliments, while others are deliberately sowing discord, but Xue Chong's baby face is full of joy from the beginning to the end, as if he can't hear the provocation in some people's words at all.
Bai Qi, who came to the birthday party on behalf of the younger generation of the Bai family, is Bai Chong's cousin. feeling.
There were rumors from the outside world that the relationship between Bai Zhong and this cousin was not very good, but no one had seen it with their own eyes, so they discussed it in private, and no one would reveal it to the face.
Hearing everyone teasing Xue Chong, Bai Qi listened quietly and laughed without saying a word. After everyone had finished talking, he opened his mouth and said, "I don't know how outstanding a person who can be regarded as an idol by Young Master Xue is."
Xue Chong glanced at Bai Qi, and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a loud voice: "Brother Xi is here." He immediately stood up and walked towards the door.
Xu Shaoxuan glanced at Bai Qi with a half-smile, and said slowly, "Young Master Bai is very concerned about Brother Xi's affairs."
Bai Qi smiled back: "Everyone has curiosity."
"Oh?" Xu Shaoxuan raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.
"Brother Xi."
"Brother Xi."
The princes, brothers and ladies who were still sitting on the chairs and chatting on their mobile phones got up one after another, and said hello to Xi Qing who entered the door.
"Sorry, we're late." Xi Qing nodded to everyone after entering the room.
Everyone heard that he said "we" and not "I", so they all looked at Gong Xiqiao who was beside Xi Qing, and many people felt familiar.Last time I met Gongxi Qiao's brother-in-law in the Golden Tower, he took the initiative to say hello with a wink, "Young Master Qiao just came back from abroad?"
"I originally planned to come back with the national delegation a few days ago, but some things were delayed, and it was delayed until today." Gong Xiqiao looked at Xue Chong with a smile, "Shouxing Gong looks more handsome than ever today, I wish you Happy birthday, I didn’t know that today is your birthday, and I didn’t prepare a gift for you, so I’m really sorry.” After finishing speaking, he handed the gift box in his hand to Xue Chong, “This is a gift I brought back from abroad. If you don’t like it, don’t dislike it.”
"You can come to give me face." Xue Chong happily took the gift box and said with a smile, "I will be even happier if you can write me an adverb later."
"Since Young Master Xue said this, how could I refuse." Gong Xiqiao smiled and exchanged greetings with Xue Chong, seeing that Xue Chong wanted to greet other people, she found an excuse and walked away.
Xu Shaoxuan looked at the gift box handed to him, and thanked him with a smile on his face, "This exchange meeting was very successful, congratulations."
"Thank you." Gong Xiqiao's seat was arranged next to Xi Qing, and next to him was Xu Shaoxuan. Judging from this ranking, Xue Chong really did whatever he wanted.
The corner of Xi Qing's eyes landed on the gift box in Xu Shaoxuan's hand many times, she pursed her lips and said nothing with a sullen face.But he has always looked expressionless, and no one can see that something is wrong.
Others paid more attention to Gong Xiqiao. They already knew that Xi Qing had a good relationship with a certain artist, and some time ago, they let this artist meet with the younger generation of the Xi family faction.At first they thought it was Xi Qing who had some meaning for this artist, but now it doesn't look like it, who would seriously bring toys to this occasion.
And judging from Xue Chong and Xu Shaoxuan's attitudes, it seems that they are relatively close to Gong Xiqiao, which is not like the attitude towards ordinary artists.
Those who are more familiar with Gong Xiqiao think of the "Wonderful Hands" and "Palace Banquet" that have been praised by major media recently. It is really impossible for someone who can win glory for the country on such an international occasion. Ordinary entertainer.Although they are born with a little arrogance in their bones, they still respect people with real talents.
So even though Gong Xiqiao was born as a nouveau riche, he is promising and has outstanding talent and temperament. It is no wonder that someone like Xi Qing can befriend him.
After the banquet started, everyone came and went, pushing cups and changing cups, making the scene very lively.As a newcomer to this circle, Gong Xiqiao was also drunk several times. If he hadn't filled his stomach after serving the table, he might have been drunk by now.
Halfway through the meal, Xue Chong was still thinking about Gongxi Qiao's calligraphy. Seeing that his subordinates had already found pens, ink, paper and inkstones, he ordered them to put them on the table. Then add: "In case you get drunk later, who do I ask to write?"
Gongxiqiao had no choice but to put down her chopsticks, and chose a convenient one from a row of writing brushes. After thinking about it, she wrote down the eight characters "Happy Birthday, Anping Fule" by hand.
Seeing these eight characters, everyone was amazed again and again. They are so magnificent and majestic. It is really wonderful.
"Good handwriting, good handwriting, vigorous and powerful, flying and spirited, worthy of being a master." Xue Chong blushed with excitement, and after Gong Xiqiao signed the signature, he couldn't wait for the ink to dry, so he hurriedly asked his staff to help him connect the words Take the table and carry it away, as if afraid of being snatched away by others.
When Gongxi Qiao showed his hand, many people were stunned, and even a few people had the cheek to ask him for words.Faced with these people's requests, Gongxiqiao just laughed, but didn't say whether it was possible or not.
"The soup is getting cold," Xi Qing said, seeing that everyone was still surrounding Gongxi Qiao, "Xiao Qiao, come and drink the soup."
Seeing that Xi Qing opened his mouth, the people who were still surrounding Gongxi Qiao were embarrassed to continue to surround Gongxi Qiao with the cheek, so they had to slowly disperse. Several of them really wanted to ask for pen and ink.
Gong Xiqiao is now a well-known rising star in the painting and calligraphy circles. Some old men and women in their families are good at it. If they can take a piece of work back, it's good to please them.
"You don't need to pay attention to those people." Xi Qing handed a bowl of soup to Gong Xiqiao, and said softly, "Some people are just the second-generation ancestors of the side branch, and they don't have the face to ask you to write specially."
"In your eyes, do I have such a high status?" Amused by Xi Qing's words, Gong Xiqiao picked up the bowl, trembling with laughter, and almost spilled the soup, "If other people hear it, I'm not mad at you yet."
"Whatever they do," Xi Qing reached out to hold his bowl to prevent the soup from spilling on his hands. "They are angry, and there is nothing they can do. What's more, you are better than them." His fingertips were Carefully touched the back of the other's warm hand, my heart skipped a beat, but I held it back firmly.
"I didn't expect that you still like to see others who are obviously angry but helpless to you." Gong Xiqiao brought the bowl to his mouth, and took a few sips slowly. "The soup from this old shop still tastes authentic."
"Well, the soup and Baiweixuan here are the best in the imperial capital." Xi Qing withdrew her hand and scratched the finger that touched the back of Gong Xiqiao's hand unnaturally, "If you like it, we will come again next time .”
Xu Shaoxuan, who was sitting next to Gongxiqiao, looked at the two of them chatting happily, thought for a while and said: "I heard that this family's ancestors have handed down their craftsmanship from the imperial chef, and their dim sum is also very particular. Our old lady I like the dim sum here.”
"That's true. My mother also likes the dim sum here. My dad often finds a way to bring it to her. Unfortunately, the dim sum here is limited. Many times, my dad and I can't order it with money." Gong Xiqiao knew The status of the family is not as good as these people in front of them, so it's normal to have to queue up to order dim sum here, unlike them, someone personally delivers it to the door.But he also felt inferior because of these things, instead he acted very open and generous, "In the future, with your face, I will definitely come to them to order dim sum often, so I don't have to worry about having money and nowhere to spend it."
"With your current status, who will not give you this face," Xu Shaoxuan said with a smile, the more he looks at Gong Xiqiao more pleasingly now, "Why don't we make a bet to see who dare not give you this face."
"I won't make this bet. Who doesn't know that I'm with you at this moment, so I will give this face naturally, but it doesn't matter who it is for." Gong Xiqiao smiled and shook his head, "So Brother Xu, you still Stop teasing me."
"Since Auntie likes it, I'll ask them to deliver two servings to Auntie later." Xi Qing looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table, and picked out a few dishes that Gong Xiqiao liked with serving chopsticks and put them in his bowl, "Eat again Order something, I see that you have been disturbed by them tonight and have nothing to eat."
Seeing his action, Xu Chao raised his eyebrows.
Bai Qi, who was sitting across from the three of them, watched their interaction silently, his eyes hidden under the lens fell on Gong Xiqiao for a long time, and then he took it back.
The host and guests had a great time at the banquet, and Gong Xiqiao drank until her cheeks turned red. After saying goodbye to everyone, she got into Xi Qing's car.
"Brother Xi, are you taking Xiao Qiao home?" Seeing this scene, Xu Shaoxuan stepped forward and said, "If it's inconvenient for you, I'll do it."
"No, I'm familiar with his family." Xi Qing followed into the car and sat next to Gong Xiqiao, "You also drank a lot tonight, go back to rest early, don't worry about us."
Watching the low-key black car leave slowly, Xu Shaoxuan smiled. He didn't expect the day when workaholics would take their own initiative to send people home.
After sending Gongxi Qiao to the door, when Gongxi Qiao was about to get out of the car, he suddenly remembered the small bag that he had thrown in the back seat, so he asked, "Where is my bag?"
"Here," Xi Qing saw that although he was awake, but his face was flushed, he couldn't help but said, "I'll send you back to your room to rest first."
"It's okay," Gong Xiqiao rubbed her hot face, put an exquisite box in Xi Qing's palm, and smiled with crooked eyebrows, "This is a gift for you." After finishing speaking, she turned to him He waved his hand, "It's late, you go home early, I'll go back to sleep, good night."
Xi Qing put the gift box on the back seat of the car, got out of the car, and accompanied Gong Xiqiao to the door, and chatted with Aunt Luo, explaining how much Gong Xiqiao drank before leaving Gong Xiqiao's villa.
"Young Master Qiao, you are a very kind friend." Aunt Luo looked at the closed door and said with emotion.It must be a careful person who cares about Qiao Shao's body so much.
Gongxi Qiao smiled and said after a moment of silence: "Well, it's pretty good."
The royal blue box was opened, and inside lay a very beautiful watch.
Xi Qing quietly stared at this beautifully crafted watch, took off the old watch on her wrist, and put on this one.
The platinum gold watch chain, accompanied by the white shirt sleeves, is extraordinarily beautiful.
"Boss, shall we go back now?" the bodyguard who was driving asked in a low voice.
Xi Qing looked up towards the window of the room where Gong Xiqiao lived, and waited in silence for about ten minutes. After the lights in this room came on, he rolled up the car window, looked at his left wrist wearing the watch, and opened his mouth slowly. Said: "Go back."
