Huayu 2021: Isn’t he in the technology field?

Chapter 61: Fish Waiting for the Net

4:30 in the afternoon.

Liu Qiangdong chased to the moon gate of Quyuan Fenghe with the contract in his hand, and the golden nanmu door frame rustled as he slammed it.

"Boss Jiang's trick of grafting flowers and trees is brilliant!"

He waved the letter of intent for cooperation he had just signed with Jiang Qing, expressing his feelings.

"I just realized, are you using my cold chain logistics to test your new knife?"

Jiang Qing was sending Zhou Ye a crab-teaching tutorial video when he heard the words and placed his phone upside down on the bluestone railing.

"The imported red wine in Mr. Liu's warehouse..."

He tapped his fingertips on a certain clause in the contract.

"Isn't it just that you need a knowledgeable butler?"

Liu Qiangdong suddenly burst into laughter, shocking the passing waiter so much that he almost knocked over the tea tray.

"No wonder Mr. Lei said your thoughts are deeper than West Lake!"

He made the invitation with a flushed face.

"Boss Jiang, would you please come to Louwailou tonight?"

"I'm afraid I'll let down your kindness."

Jiang Qing glanced at the phone screen that suddenly lit up, and after clicking it, the selfie sent by Meng Ziyi bloomed on the screen.

The twilight cast a layer of flowing clouds on her gauze skirt, and the light gauze rippled like water waves in the evening breeze.

Her jade-colored toes were revealed under the wisteria-like skirt, and she was playfully picking up her stiletto heels that were half immersed in the lake water.

The rouge color spread from the corners of her eyes to her dimples, and the ripples in her eyes were even more dazzling than the reflection of Leifeng Pagoda. Even the shimmering lake surface became broken gold in her eyes.

She leaned sideways against the stone railing, a strand of hair on her temple lifted by the wind, adding a bit of atmosphere.

"The fish are still waiting for me to collect the net by the West Lake."

-

At 5:13, the afterglow of the setting sun cast a red glow on the surface of West Lake.

When Jiang Qing pushed open the glass door, the twelve strings of shell wind chimes hanging in the air rang.

Meng Ziyi, huddled in the corner, was poking a straw into her coffee latte art. Her light purple gauze skirt covered the rattan chair, like a wilted iris.

When a shadow covered the coffee in front of her, she looked up suddenly and her hair almost fell into the cup.

"You, how did you..."

She hurriedly fixed her hair and subconsciously straightened her back to show her best side.

"Weren't you having dinner with those people? Did it end so soon?"

Jiang Qing sat down opposite her very naturally, looking at her with a relaxed smile.

"How can I eat lunch until dinner? Besides, I was afraid that you wouldn't run into me, so I came to your house."

There was a hint of teasing in his voice.

"But I didn't even send you the location, how did you find me?"

Meng Ziyi was a little confused and stared at him suspiciously.

“The selfie you posted is right next to this store, so I came here to try my luck.”

"Now it seems that I am lucky."

Jiang Qing ordered a glass of lemonade for himself and spoke nonsense.

"Are you so familiar with West Lake? You can find me with just a photo?"

"I just happened to be here."

"Really?"

"Well, really."

Meng Ziyi looked at Jiang Qing, who was calm and composed, with doubt, and reluctantly believed what he said.

Although I feel like something is not right, I can't put my finger on it.

"Sister Meng, what do you want to eat tonight? You've come all the way here, so I'll take you to eat something delicious."

Jiang Qing asked with a smile after taking the lemonade handed by the waiter.

"I'm here to shoot some advertising material, and since you're here too, I thought I'd drop by to let you know."

Meng Ziyi straightened the long hair on his forehead and said stubbornly.

But the way she avoided looking at me made her look a little lacking in confidence.

"Is that so? Then it seems I misunderstood."

Jiang Qing showed an expression that showed that this was what happened.

"In that case... I happen to have other things to do tonight, so I won't disturb you from working."

As he spoke, Jiang Qing made a gesture to stand up.

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

"I, I'm done!"

Meng Ziyi hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, but when he met Jiang Qing's playful eyes, he instantly realized that he was teasing her.

"Hmph! It's your treat!"

"I want to eat good food!"

She said angrily.

"No problem, but we might have to keep a low profile."

Jiang Qing smiled and gestured for her to look around.

Meng Ziyi glanced around and noticed that several people in the cafe were looking at him from time to time.

Obviously, their actions just now have attracted the attention of some people.

She quickly lowered her head, put on the mask at hand, and raised her eyebrows at Jiang Qing.

"Hurry up and go!" "Okay."

Jiang Qing smiled and was about to stand up.

"Wait."

Meng Ziyi called out to him.

Jiang Qing tilted his head and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Do you still think you're an amateur? I don't want to be watched by others. Put it on quickly."

Meng Ziyi took out a black mask that was the same as the one on her face and handed it to him.

"Uh, okay."

Jiang Qing took the mask, smiled, and put it on his face obediently.

Thinking about the hot searches still on Weibo, he felt that what Meng Ziyi said made sense.

"Let's go, let me think about what to eat."

"But I'm not hungry yet. We can take a walk first. I haven't been to the West Lake for a long time."

Seeing Jiang Qing wearing a mask, Meng Ziyi smiled, stood up, slung her handbag over her shoulder, grabbed his wrist and walked out.

Jiang Qing stood up with her, glanced at the wrist she was holding, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly under the mask.

This girl is really becoming more and more straightforward.

When they walked out of the cafe, the West Lake was already crowded with people.

"Oh, this broken stone road!"

Not long after walking, Meng Ziyi's complaint attracted several passers-by to look over subconsciously.

"Be careful."

Jiang Qing smiled and shook his head, holding her elbow.

Meng Ziyi moved closer to him, muttering to himself.

"I should have known not to wear these shoes. The heels are so high they could be used as a weapon."

She stopped talking before she finished and pointed forward in panic.

“That candied haws cart looks great!”

When she raised her foot, she was tripped by the hem of her skirt and fell towards the insulated boxes that were being unloaded in front of the restaurant.

When Jiang Qing put his arms around her waist, the crucian carp in the plastic box were splashing water by the tail.

Meng Ziyi looked at the fish scales on her gauze skirt and closed her eyes in despair.

"I'm done for! The brand wants to kill me! I'm filming next week."

Realizing she was about to let the cat out of the bag again, she suddenly covered her mouth with her hands, letting out a muffled whine through her fingers.

A low laugh was heard in the night.

Jiang Qing took out the handkerchief he had put in his pocket while eating, squatted down and wiped the hem of her skirt, his movements as natural as flowing water.

"Sister Meng, you are so impulsive. Doesn't anyone on the crew dislike you?"

His hand brushed across her ankle, removing the leaf that had become lodged between the thin straps of her sandal.

"How is that possible! I'm so popular on the set!"

Meng Ziyi raised his brows and retorted unconvincedly.

Jiang Qing stood up with a smile and nodded in agreement.

"Go to the mountaintop observation deck? At least there are no aquatic attacks."

"also."

Meng Ziyi looked at Jiang Qing's smiling face as he looked up at her and asked, and nodded obediently.

So, the two of them avoided the crowds at the lake and headed to South Peak.

The stone steps halfway up the mountain were slippery. When Meng Ziyi stepped on the hem of her skirt for the third time, she finally gave up and grabbed Jiang Qing's sleeve.

"Is the material of your shirt tear-proof?"

As soon as she said that, she wanted to swallow it back. She caught a glimpse of the lines of Jiang Qing's arms exposed when he rolled up his sleeves, and her throat suddenly tightened.

"If you keep your magical powers to yourself, it won't happen."

Jiang Qing grabbed her wrist and pulled her forward.

Meng Ziyi looked at the wrist he was holding, and the corners of his lips curled up.

She could feel that Jiang Qing was responding to her.

When they arrived at the observation deck, the surrounding area was already lit up with night lights.

Meng Ziyi leaned over the railing and suddenly exclaimed at the group of kites hanging on the wooden rack in the distance.

"Wow! That pufferfish kite looks like it's rolling its eyes!"

After she finished speaking, she realized how ridiculous the metaphor was, but then she heard the sound of a cell phone taking a photo next to her.

In Jiang Qing's camera, a fluorescent koi fish happened to pass by between her raised hair.

"You secretly filmed me!"

Meng Ziyi glared at him, pinching her waist habitually, with her chin slightly raised, looking both angry and happy.

"Can't you?"

Jiang Qing didn't take her reaction seriously. He shook his phone and asked with a raised lip.

He knew that the girl was actually very happy and could hardly suppress the smile on her face.

"I have to see if it looks good, hehe~"

Sure enough, she suddenly smiled, her eyes curved, and the corners of her mouth raised in a bright and beautiful arc.

Seeing this, Jiang Qing smiled as expected.

Well, worthy of being Sister Meng!
