Beijing
Since tomorrow is Teacher's Day, every student must actively prepare a small gift for the teacher. However, in order to avoid suspicion, the school has regulations that the value of the gift cannot exceed 5 yuan. This also directs students to try their best to personally Doing it by hand will not only make the gift fuller and thicker, but also avoid the smell of copper that it shouldn't have.
Wang Shen just used his vulgar painting skills to draw an indescribable portrait of his class teacher, Mr. Li, which made him appear to be a little absent-minded about the matter, but he didn't care at all because his thoughts were spent on preparing gifts for Zhang Qingqing. .
Since Teachers' Day is celebrated for teachers, how can he not take Zhang Qingqing, a true teacher, seriously? He first spent a day picking more than twenty green peaches from a peach tree in an alley, then peeled off the small peach cores, picked out twelve according to the thickness of Zhang Qingqing's wrist, and then took the subway line 10 and ran there. Pan Jiayuan carefully selected a red agate as the Buddha head for the bracelet, and finally spent money to punch holes in the peach core and thread strings on it. A gift that was 90% DIY was completed. Although this bracelet is worthless compared to Zhang Qingqing's valuable brand-name gold and silver jewelry, Wang Shen believes that as soon as he takes it out, Zhang Qingqing will definitely regard it as a treasure.
But until tonight, Zhang Qingqing had hardly said a superfluous word to him except for routine guidance and checking his qi. Every time Wang Shen moved Danxia Jue through the acupoints of his body and confirmed that there was no problem, she hurriedly said a few words and left. This made Wang Shen never find a chance to talk to her and give her a gift.
The dinner Liu Xiangjun prepared for Wang Shen today was sweet and sour pork ribs, pan-fried yellow croaker and oil-consuming lettuce.
Wang Shen only took a few bites of lettuce, but the ribs and yellow croaker were all wiped out like a whirlwind. Finally, he asked Liu Xiangjun for half a bowl of rice, and poured all the remaining rib juice and fish residue into the rice bowl. He stirred it a few times with his chopsticks, and then put it all into his mouth. Oil and rice particles danced on his mouth. After taking the last bite of rice with sweet milk, he took out a tissue and wiped his mouth.
Liu Xiangjun had long been accustomed to the way he was eating. She waited quietly for him to finish eating and put away the dishes as usual, and then asked him to go back to the house to do his homework.
Today's morning class was the same as usual. Zhang Qingqing woke up Wang Shen at four o'clock in the morning and went to the rooftop to complete it. After all, the roof rooftop is only the area of a residential building. It is impossible to perform a wide range of sword skills on it, and one needs to be careful not to damage the building structure. Therefore, Zhang Qingqing cannot give Wang Shen moves on the roof. He can only Watching him fill all the acupoints in his body with zhenqi, confirming that the damaged meridians have been repaired, and constantly monitoring the progress of his sixth-level breakthrough.
Since returning to Beijing from Tianshan, Zhang Qingqing has not taken Wang Shen to Daxinganling. Zhang Qingqing has not explained the reason to Wang Shen, but Wang Shen can only comfort himself. It is because his meridians are seriously damaged and it is inconvenient to practice martial arts and swordsmanship in the short term. , so my aunt focused all her energy on her own Qi movement progress. But the fact he didn't want to admit was that Zhang Qingqing was too busy with things in the company recently. As a person who didn't need to sleep at all, she didn't seem to have enough time. She was able to allocate four to six hours every morning and evening to guide her Qi. A very qualified master.
When Wang Shen was thinking about it, the sound of opening the door came, and a familiar breath came through the door. Zhang Qingqing was back. Wang Shen looked at the time, it was 10:30 in the evening.
"Why did she come back so early today? Didn't she come back just after two o'clock yesterday?" Wang Shen muttered to himself, hurriedly picked up the carefully wrapped gift box, opened the door and ran out.
Zhang Qingqing said as soon as she entered the door: "Xiangxiang, where is my largest suitcase?"
Liu Xiangjun hurriedly rummaged in the storage room and pulled out a huge 30-inch suitcase that was more than half a person tall and could hold two of her, and asked, "What are you doing with it? Don't you have a Xumi bag?"
Zhang Qingqing smiled and said: "If you are on a business trip, you should look like you are on a business trip, let alone with Fanzhi."
Liu Xiangjun said: "Are you leaving tomorrow morning?"
Zhang Qingqing said: "Well, the flight is at six o'clock, and we will get to the airport at four-thirty."
Liu Xiangjun smiled bitterly and said, "You can get there in a few minutes, why is it so troublesome?"
Zhang Qingqing said: "Okay, I didn't complain. What are you complaining about? You have too few clothes. After the meeting is over tomorrow morning, she will definitely take me shopping. I will buy a dozen clothes for you."
Liu Xiangjun frowned and puffed out his cheeks and said, "I have enough clothes and I don't go out to meet anyone. Why do I buy so many clothes?"
Zhang Qingqing said: "No! How can a girl only have so few clothes? You never buy hats, shoes, jewelry, etc., so I will watch and buy some for you."
Liu Xiangjun smiled and said, "Am I going to dress up all day long to show him?" Then he looked at Wang Shen.
Zhang Qingqing also smiled and said: "No matter who you show it to, clothes and jewelry are necessary."
Liu Xiangjun said: "What are the best things in Hong Kong? Can't you buy them in Beijing?"
Zhang Qingqing said: "Actually, by this year, the business levels of the mainland and Hong Kong are almost the same. Most of the first-tier brands in Hong Kong can be bought in Beijing, but the various duty-free shops in Hong Kong are not available in Beijing. The things inside are really It’s much cheaper than buying it in the mall. Since we are living in the world of mortals, we are all ordinary people, so we can’t help but be cheap!”
Liu Xiangjun suddenly understood and nodded with a smile.
Zhang Qingqing said: "Don't talk about me. Rich ladies like Fan Zhi, who are worth billions, also go to duty-free shops every month. This shows how tempting duty-free shops are to women."
Liu Xiangjun was slightly curious, but as she was indifferent by nature, she immediately put the idea out of her mind. At least until this moment, nothing was more important to her than taking care of Wang Shen.
Zhang Qingqing felt guilty and distressed when he saw her. She was originally a good girl who was practicing in Emei Mountain without any distractions, but she was dragged to the city to take care of this little trouble for herself, but he really never gave her anything. If there is any substantive compensation, he said: "Okay, I won't ask you about these things from now on, I can just buy it back for you."
Wang Shen stood aside and touched the small gift box in the pocket of his shorts. He didn't know what Zhang Qingqing was thinking. He just felt that Zhang Qingqing had been too busy for the past few days, but when he got home today, he said he was going to Hong Kong, why he was going, and how long he would be there. , said nothing to himself, while he stood here for a long time, but the two of them chatted animatedly among themselves, and they didn't even mention a single word about themselves, such as shopping or something. All kinds of emotions accumulated, and he asked with a gloomy face: "Auntie, how long will you be gone for?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Qingqing and Liu Xiangjun noticed that something was wrong with the fluctuations in his heart. Zhang Qingqing turned around, looked at him, and tentatively replied: "I've been away for three days, what's wrong?"
"Three days! Three days after leaving? And you told me when you were almost gone, and you had to ask me before you told me!" The resentment and grievances in Wang Shen's heart had already burst, and he squeezed the gift box in his trouser pocket with force. He turned around and glared at Zhang Qingqing for a moment, then turned around and ran back to his room, closing the door with a "bang!"
Who would have thought he would come here? Zhang Qingqing and Liu Xiangjun were both shocked. They quickly got up and chased him to the door, shouting and knocking on the door, but no matter how they shouted, there was no movement inside the door.
Zhang Qingqing couldn't bear it and scolded: "Wang Shen! Open the door for me!"
After two seconds of silence, there was the sound of standing up and walking towards the door. Then the door was opened, but Wang Shen immediately turned back to the bed and sat on the edge of the bed, turning his head to the side and not looking at the two people.
Zhang Qingqing and Liu Xiangjun both walked to Wang Shen's bedside. Zhang Qingqing half-crouched in front of Wang Shen and her tone returned to gentleness: "I have been too busy these days and I have not fulfilled my responsibilities, but who allowed you to be in front of me?" Are you losing your temper?"
Wang Shen simply broke the jar and threw it away, still turning his head and ignoring it.
Zhang Qingqing glanced at Liu Xiangjun. Although there was a certain amount of amusement in the other person's eyes, there was still a certain amount of anxiety and worry.
Zhang Qingqing said: "Wang Shen, let me ask you. If there is a person beside you who is invincible in martial arts but is rude and illiterate, what would you think of him?"
Wang Shen didn't know why Zhang Qingqing asked such a question, but he still thought about it and answered: "I may only admire him, but I won't respect him or admire him from the bottom of my heart."
Zhang Qingqing said: "But what if this person is knowledgeable and approachable, and also has high cultivation level?"
Wang Shen said: "Then not only I will respect him, but everyone in the world will respect him."
Zhang Qingqing said: "China is that person now. China's hard power has ranked among the world's major powers. Most people think that China has risen. In fact, it is not the case. In terms of soft power, especially in terms of technology, it is still far behind the United States and Japan. All of these are It is something that ordinary people don’t pay attention to. In the fields of finance, diplomacy and even military, we are always controlled by others because of these links. In order to improve the level of basic science and technology, countless people are working hard in corners where people don’t see it. The world Qi Group is one of them.”
Wang Shen immediately understood what Zhang Qingqing wanted to say. He was touched and turned his face to look at Zhang Qingqing's beautiful face. He could smell the sweet peach scent of her body more clearly in his nose, and stood aside. Liu Xiangjun's jasmine blends together to form a sweet fragrance that can make anyone intoxicated.
Zhang Qingqing said: "I know I have spent too little time with you these days, but I didn't do my own thing, let alone play. Instead, I have been working with Shiqi Group. I only decided to go to Hong Kong this afternoon. , don’t blame me for not telling you in advance. I really didn’t go to Hong Kong to play, but to attend a very important purchasing meeting. The trip to the duty-free shop that I told your Aunt Xiang was also after the meeting and waiting for the return flight. Things I just went back to do during the break.”
Zhang Qingqing was able to explain to Wang Shen in such a gentle manner. In fact, Wang Shen had lost his temper for a long time, but he couldn't save his face, and he still kept a straight face and said nothing.
Zhang Qingqing said: "I've told you everything I need to say. Take your stinky face back to me and don't let me slap you with my big mouth!"
Wang Shen was indeed a little scared, and he forced out a smile as an apology, but he still did not take out the small gift box that had a corner crushed by him and handed it to Zhang Qingqing.
Liu Xiangjun said: "You travel abroad every year, and your aunt brings you a lot of gifts every time she goes on a business trip. What else are you dissatisfied with? You actually got angry with her! Stand up and apologize to her!" "
Wang Shen was so rebuffed that he completely lost his temper. He stood up and performed a master's ceremony. He respectfully stated his faults, summed up his disrespect for his superiors and his lack of superiority. Then he knelt on his knees and paid his respects to his master Zhang Qingqing solemnly. He kowtows and admits his mistake.
Zhang Qingqing spat: "Okay! Get out of here now. Don't do this to me anymore. Let's see if I beat you to death next time!"
