Chapter 72
Xia Yibo didn't know what Zhuang Ji was up to, but he still said: "Of course what I say counts. If you don't think I'm a Hongmen banquet, come here."
Zhuang Ji laughed and said, "Hongmen Banquet? What do you mean? It seems that I am afraid of you. Then you decide the place."
Xia Yibo really made an appointment with Zhuang Ji, and after hanging up the phone, he sat on the sofa in a daze for a while, even a little unbelievable, wondering what Zhuang Ji meant.
Xia Yibo didn't think of a reason, so he had no choice but to think about it.
He crossed his legs and leaned over, lit a cigarette and started to smoke, then smiled again, "No matter what you want to do, am I afraid of you?"
As he was thinking in his heart, the maid came over and said, "Sir, the bathroom is ready, do you want to use it now?"
Only then did Xia Yibo get up, and went to the bathroom in a comfortable mood.
He is a person who enjoys life very much. The bathroom is more than 80 square meters, and there is even a circulating hot spring water system. Xia Yibo swims while taking a bath, and even imagines the scene of Zhuang Ji bathing with him.
After a while, he realized that he was so happy when Zhuang Ji took the initiative to contact him once.
And Zhuang Ji's kid is full of bad ideas, so it's probably not a good thing to ask him out.
During the Spring Festival, everyone in the Xia family is busy.
First, the eldest room entertained another family banquet, and then Xia Zhen took Zhuang Ji to the family banquet at her uncle Liu's house. The Liu family was not enthusiastic about Zhuang Ji and did not reject him. They were very similar to Liu Yunxiu, with a kind of Polite but distant and arrogant, probably because Xia Zhen hadn't married Zhuang Ji yet, so they didn't take the matter of Zhuang Ji and Xia Zhen too seriously, and even thought that maybe Xia Zhen was just a whim.
Zhuang Ji didn't pay much attention to it. As a Shidi, dealing with these situations was trivial.
It's just how he feels in his heart, only he knows.
In addition, getting along with business partners and acquaintances is even more busy. To Xia Zhen, celebrating the Spring Festival is like fighting a battle.
Because this was the first year that Xia Zhenban officially took over the Xia family, these interactions became even more important.
If Xia Zhen is not enthusiastic and comprehensive, it will easily make people feel that the Xia family will go downhill under the hands of the third generation head, or that they will no longer be friends with them.
Many elders who sell Xia Yijun or Liu Yunxiu's face may not necessarily sell Xia Zhen's face.
Besides, Xia Zhen still has a homosexual, found an actor, and there are rumors of fighting in a bar for the actor and so on.
Under such circumstances, Xia Zhen needed to work harder to socialize with those who had to socialize at home, and Zhuang Ji couldn't help him in these matters.
Xia Zhen was too busy to touch the ground, but Zhuang Ji was very idle. He lived in Xia's house, and found that although Liu Yunxiu was indifferent to him, he was indeed watching his play, which was "Han Xuandi". Zhuang Ji was glad that he made it Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was still broadcasting at this time, otherwise it would be all a brainless idol drama, and I would be embarrassed to let my elders watch it.
Xia Zhen would visit other people's homes, and other people would naturally come to visit Xia's. The people who gave gifts could be described as an endless stream, and those who were invited to stay for entertainment were not particularly many. These were Liu Yunxiu who came to entertain.
Because some of them are young people, Liu Yunxiu will also leave Zhuang Ji to guide him to socialize with these people.
Liu Yunxiu's arrogant style of assigning Zhuang Ji to do things seems to think that this is giving Zhuang Ji a lot of face. In the past, Zhuang Ji would definitely not accept it, and he would feel bored in his heart. This kind of promotion from you is needed.
But now, he doesn't feel this way at all. On the contrary, he needs and appreciates Liu Yunxiu's kindness very much, because he loves Xia Zhen, wants to share things for him, and also wants to integrate into Xia's family.
Maybe others would say how he flattered the Xia family, but Zhuang Ji didn't want to care about it anymore. His dignity was not in the hands of these gossipers.
Xia Zhen will go on a business trip to Australia again on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
The prospect of the rare metal market in the previous year was very good, and the export price of rare metals rose astonishingly due to regulation, and the Xia family benefited a lot from it.
Because the Xia family Yixing Mining did not issue an IPO, there are many exchanges that have lobbied the Xia family for the listing of Yixing Mining, but the Xia family has not responded.
People who had always thought that the Xia family would have a financial crisis and their capital turnover was not good, did not dare to think so at this time. They probably did not expect that the Xia family would have such a large amount of financial resources. Not bad money spent.
When discussing Xia Zhen's business trip on the bed, Xia Zhen also said to Zhuang Ji: "You are not busy recently, go with me, okay?"
He always said "OK", just like a child, as if he was acting like a baby.
Zhuang Ji often rolled his eyes at him, thinking that when he was a real boy, he was silent and arrogant, clean-eyed, pretending to be cool, and now he is about [-], but he is back to basics, and he can play tricks and act like a baby.
The 29th birthdays of the two were very close to each other before, and they planned to celebrate their birthdays together, but at that time, Zhuang Ji was busy with the production team, and the production team celebrated his birthday for him. Xia Zhen was in Canada, except for receiving calls and text messages from He Sheng , did not celebrate at all.
The two prepared birthday presents for each other. Xia Zhen gave Zhuang Ji a custom-made jewel phone. By the way, he changed to a couple model, but it was not inlaid with gems. Zhuang Ji gave Xia Zhen a belt. They also met each other. It was only after that that the other party was replenished.
Zhuang Ji used to think that Xia's family was beautiful, but now that Xia Zhen was so busy, she was always flying around, and he couldn't help but sigh, every effort was rewarded.
Zhuang Ji couldn't stand his "OK", so he rolled his eyes and agreed: "Well, fine. But I won't be able to help you much if I go, it's good if I don't make trouble."
Xia Zhen was so happy that she suffered from hyperactivity again, and after messing with Zhuang Ji, she said, "When I'm busy, I can ask someone to accompany you to travel or go shopping."
Anyway, that's how it settled.
Before that, Zhuang Ji went to see Xia Yibo.
Xia Zhen wanted to follow, but he couldn't. Since he let go, he didn't mind Zhuang Ji meeting Xia Yibo at all, so he couldn't do anything to make Zhuang Ji suspect that he was just talking. Besides, he had other things Arrangements, but also unable to follow.
But he sent a driver and two bodyguards to take Zhuang Ji there, and Zhuang Ji didn't object.
Zhuang Ji and Xia Yibo met at a tea house in City B that was not well-known to the outside world but well-known within the circle.
This is an antique courtyard surrounded by curved corridors, rockery pools, and plum blossoms. In addition, it snowed the night before, and the snow in the garden was not swept away. There is a tranquil and noble artistic conception, quiet amidst the noise, as if this is not a city, but a place outside the world.
This tea house is a club run by several people in city B, and the Xia family also has shares in it. It is the best place to entertain distinguished guests or discuss business.Usually there are reservations here every day, which shows that it is well-known in the circle and has a good reputation.
Xia Yibo didn't intend to invite Zhuang Ji here, but Xia Zhen reminded Zhuang Ji to come here, and Zhuang Ji induced Xia Yibo to choose this place.
Here, Xia Zhen felt relieved.
First, the outside world will not know about the private meeting between Zhuang Ji and Xia Yibo, and will not be caught by the outside news media. , I know Xia Zhen very well, because he is paid by Xia Zhen.Xia Zhen told him that Zhuang Ji belonged to him, and with the flexibility of the manager's head, he naturally knew what to do.
Zhuang Ji didn't arrive on time, but Xia Yibo was already there when the time came.
The manager smiled and took Zhuang Ji from the curved corridor to the Tingxue Pavilion in the small garden. It is cold in winter, and the curved corridors are all sealed with glass, and there is heating inside. Zhuang Ji has already taken off his coat and is only wearing a thin sweater. , follow the manager.
The manager chatted with Zhuang Ji, saying that he had watched Zhuang Ji's play, how he liked it, and said it very kindly, she was so gentle and generous, even an actor with outstanding acting skills like Zhuang Ji felt influenced by her, and felt that he and She has known each other for a long time. Anyway, when the manager sent him to Tingxue Pavilion, the two of them were already talking and laughing. Zhuang Ji also said that he would write a signature card for the manager. The manager also said that Zhuang Ji would come here to entertain guests or himself. Drink tea, just come by yourself, and wait for him to come at any time.
Business cards here are rarely given, membership cards are not available to ordinary wealthy businessmen, people in the entertainment industry are rarely entertained here, and the manager's flattery and kindness to Zhuang Ji is of course because he may become the Xia family daughter-in-law.
Zhuang Ji entered Tingxue Pavilion, which was filled with mahogany furniture. There was a violinist sitting in front of one side of the window playing the guzheng.
Xia Yibo was sitting in the mahogany armchair on the other side, a tea doctor was making tea for him, and he was admiring the beautiful scenery of the garden outside the window with his head tilted.
There is a rockery and red plums in the garden, and there is a small pond with a wooden bridge on it, against the backdrop of white snow. There are troubles here, but there is no noise of cars and horses, only the sound of zither and the fragrance of tea, which is really enjoyable.
After Zhuang Ji came in, the luthier didn't look up, just focused on her work, but Dr. Cha got up and saluted Zhuang Ji, but didn't make a sound, Xia Yibo looked at Zhuang Ji, and said to him with a smile : "Come and sit."
Xia Yibo seemed to be just arty, not really elegant, so before the qin master finished playing, he asked people to stop to go out. The same was true for Dr. Tea. He started to make tea himself, and brought in a lot of exquisite snacks from outside , as far as the scenery outside is concerned, the appetite can also be whetted.
Zhuang Ji sat on the chair opposite Xia Yibo, took the teacup Xia Yibo handed over, tasted the tea and said, "This is the Dahongpao."
Xia Yibo said: "Yes. You understand tea."
Zhuang Ji said: "I don't know how to know tea, I just drank a few kinds of it. There is no need to use this arty. I am not that kind of person, and I don't have to be proficient in everything for the sake of others. Life It’s too short, time should be put where you love more.”
In the past, Zhuang Ji made jokes when drinking tea at Xia's house, but he just asked something like "What kind of tea is this?" After being answered by the servant, he said again, "This is really delicious. How much is a catty?"
So it inexplicably made people laugh, Zhuang Ji didn't know what was so funny at the time, he was upset, but pretended not to care about it, and Xia Yibo asked his servant to bring him two boxes, and Zhuang Ji was embarrassed to accept it It’s embarrassing if you don’t accept it. In short, it’s so uncomfortable. Fortunately, Xia Yibo said at the time: “Give Qingming tea to your bosom friend. If you like it, drinking it is its luck. It’s more valuable than anyone else drinking it. Those who come here to drink tea have other things in their hearts, not people who understand it, only you really enjoy it, so you should accept it."
Zhuang Ji was grateful for Xia Yibo's call in his heart, but he said: "If I don't really like it."
Xia Yibo reached out and stroked his soft hair, "That's fine, let your mother make tea eggs."
Zhuang Ji was amused by him, so he took the tea.
Zhuang Ji still remembers that time now, and he doesn't feel like a lifetime away, only seeing Xia Yibo.
Zhuang Ji's words obviously had a subtext, Xia Yibo raised his eyes to look at him one more time, and smiled again.
Zhuang Ji laughed and said, "Hongmen Banquet? What do you mean? It seems that I am afraid of you. Then you decide the place."
Xia Yibo really made an appointment with Zhuang Ji, and after hanging up the phone, he sat on the sofa in a daze for a while, even a little unbelievable, wondering what Zhuang Ji meant.
Xia Yibo didn't think of a reason, so he had no choice but to think about it.
He crossed his legs and leaned over, lit a cigarette and started to smoke, then smiled again, "No matter what you want to do, am I afraid of you?"
As he was thinking in his heart, the maid came over and said, "Sir, the bathroom is ready, do you want to use it now?"
Only then did Xia Yibo get up, and went to the bathroom in a comfortable mood.
He is a person who enjoys life very much. The bathroom is more than 80 square meters, and there is even a circulating hot spring water system. Xia Yibo swims while taking a bath, and even imagines the scene of Zhuang Ji bathing with him.
After a while, he realized that he was so happy when Zhuang Ji took the initiative to contact him once.
