Overbearing CEO Dotes on His New Wife (3) Ultimate Small Chapter Everyday Book Bar
Winter is a season suitable for me to "stay at home", computer stay-at-home, TV stay-at-home, sleep stay-at-home, in short, as long as I don't go out, whatever way of staying at home is fine.
However, I like the winter sunshine, so I bought a super-large lazy chair from Taobao, radar-style, and placed it on the sunniest balcony, covering only one blanket to snuggle up for a day.
The original plan was like this, but Shen Qiwei called me just a few days after returning to the country: "Is there anything going on? Accompany me shopping?"
Then things went like this, I made an appointment with Shen Qiwei to go shopping together, and the meeting place was set at Starbucks on Hong Kong Road, a gathering place for petty bourgeoisie, where you can see urban white-collar workers everywhere.
The location was her choice, and this arrangement makes me feel very discriminated against. From any perspective, I have nothing to do with the White Bone Demon, not even a bit of elegance.
I had just ordered a cup of hot cocoa and taken three sips when Shen Qiwei appeared, wearing a grey short coat with a fitted denim jacket, black high heels, and carrying a red new-style handbag, exuding an air of luxury from head to toe.
For her, even if it's 50 meters with a 10-centimeter stride, it's just the blink of an eye. I was stunned for a moment, and she had already entered the door and sat down directly in front of me.
"Hey, Seventh Boss, do you have to be so cold to me? We're sitting here together, and you're treating me like some tea lady from your office. That's a bit too much..."
She beckoned to the waiter, turned around and said to me: "In order not to keep you waiting, I just finished the meeting and left work early. I didn't even have time to change my clothes before coming here. You're so unreasonable!" She also ordered a cup of hot cocoa and asked me: "That day Mr. Su came back and asked me where you were. Did you see him?"
"I told you there are too many coincidences in this world." I gave her a glance: "You really enjoy betraying me, don't you?"
"How could it be a betrayal?" She said seriously: "What we did was to give you the opportunity to recreate the old good, and now that the male-female ratio is out of balance, we will definitely not sell externally! Mr. Su is such a great person."
"Are you kidding me?" I couldn't help but widen my eyes: "You guys have nothing better to do all day, so you're thinking of ways to tease me?"
Shen Qiwei raised her hands in surrender: "This really isn't, to say it's my fault, that day when Third Brother came back I accidentally spilled the beans about your breakup... you know how they are, right? So one thing led to another..."
Su Hao knew then.
To be specific, let's start with the older generation. Shen family's old master and our Pu family's old master have a common close friend, Su family's old master, who used to be a soldier and then turned into a businessman. From what I remember, these three always traveled together for leisure and relaxation, going all over the place from south to north, and even co-authored travel notes.
The generation of dads below, somehow gathered in a city, Su Hao's dad became the standing committee member of Q City, and his mom was transferred to H University as a teacher to match her work. The Shen family has been entrenched here all along. Coincidentally, that year my parents came here to invest, and grandpa followed to take a look at the scenery, feeling that the climate is good, friends are all here, so they settled down. It's said that gathering together is fate, and it became a lifelong friendship.
At that time, I was only five years old and still in kindergarten. Fu Chaoyang, Su Hang, and the three big boys from the Shen family were about to graduate from elementary school. Except for Shen Qiuwei, who was in the same class as me, I didn't know anyone else from the Shen family because they lived in a military compound.
I just moved to Q city, feeling very lonely. My parents are busy with investments and bidding, at home it's just me, Fu Chaoyang, the driver and the nanny. Later, there was also Su Huan who is perfect in every way, but I won't mention him.
As we grew older year by year, they were a group of boys who surprisingly shared the same heart, skipping school to fight and cause trouble. They would either take on someone one-on-one or gang up on them; if they couldn't win, Commander Shen would assign someone for special training. Anyway, as long as you didn't hit your family members and didn't break the law, you could do whatever you wanted, with just one rule: don't cry when getting beaten up.
When Shen Qiwei told me these things, they were only in junior high school and high school, and had never lost a fight before. Those who tried to bully them ended up kowtowing to them, let alone extorting money from them; even if they just bumped into each other on the street, they would take a detour.
Later on, for some reason, the six brothers of the Shen family plus Fu Chaoyang and Su Hang became the rumored "Eight Princes". The good thing is that I and Shen Qīwēi had an exceptionally peaceful and calm junior high school and high school life, never being blocked in the toilet or stopped on the road. The bad thing is that there was no chance for early love.
Does anyone still remember that Korean drama "Rumored Seven Princesses"? People in school used to call Shen Qiwei that behind her back, it's a pretty name but they made it sound as terrifying as the female King Yama.
To sum it up in one sentence, by our generation, the emotional connection between the three families is as strong as iron, except for me and Shen Qiwei, among the three families, only we two are girls, no matter how good the relationship is, it's just like brothers and sisters.
So, there are things that if any one of the eight guys knows about it, it's like all of them know. I only remember telling Lai Ling to keep quiet, and almost forgot about everyone else, especially Shen Qiwei, who in high school sold my phone number for a trip to Paris and now mocks me: "So there really are some rich young masters who think you're great! No wonder they say that people who are used to eating the best food think even radish and salted vegetables are good!"
As a result, the man who opened the travel agency called me four times and was then dragged into the blacklist, making me pretend to be a dead otaku girl for a whole week.
She has sold me out more than once or twice, and she even says: If you haven't been sold out at least once or twice, is that still called life?
I remember some idiot once said that the more you tease a childhood friend, the closer you become.
Oh, right, Zhang Nan said that during the freshman year, one of the eight kings was quite familiar with him and was also a good fighter. It's said that he was dragged down by those six people and chased by a group of thugs because they went to smash someone's nightclub, all for Shen San Yu's girlfriend, but in the end, she still left with a young man who drove a BMW.
I thought of Shen San Yu and asked Qi Wei: "Has your third brother not come out of the shadow of his first love yet?"
Shen Qiwei stared at me in surprise: "Why did you suddenly mention him? Are you going to challenge him?" She suddenly looked at me with a gossiping expression: "Could it be that you plan to undermine the Eighth Prince from within?"
I couldn't help but twitch the corner of my mouth: "I was just thinking that if your third brother had interacted with her as a member of the Red Third Generation, would he have been dumped too?"
"How is that possible? My dad will break his leg!" Shen Qiwei said with a wave of her hand.
I think so too, Commander Shen is a particularly strict person, how could he raise such an unfilial son.
After finishing hot chocolate, I and Shen Qiwei are ready to go for a stroll.
I looked at her ten centimeters of hatred for heaven and earth, and couldn't help but shiver.
Shen Qiwei and I are two completely different styles of people, she is the kind of trendy and high-end type, from makeup to shoes, all require exquisite, even the aura is very impressive.
So the whole time she was the only one shopping, and I, who value comfort and ease, couldn't handle these high-end goods. Take shoes for example, it's hard to walk in anything over 5cm, and I don't have the figure for those clothes racks... Why on earth did I agree to come shopping with Shen Qiwu?
She couldn't bear to look at me anymore, so she dragged me to buy a set of milk-white L's dress, which was just above the knee. A matching accessory from the same brand, and then bought a pair of Dior high heels, about 7 cm high. Finally, she matched it with a non-branded coat, priced over 1,500 yuan, in red color.
Going shopping with Shen Qiwei is a particularly luxurious thing.
She looked at me with satisfaction after I changed into the new clothes, then she started to scrutinize every detail of my appearance. She dragged me to get a haircut and insisted on doing makeup that matched my outfit perfectly.
The result is quite good, the whole lip is a fiery red, with light smoke eye makeup, looking very seductive. I was startled by myself in the mirror, the style jumped too much, and I was surprised, feeling like my hands were not mine.
This is not the most exciting part, my entire long hair was cut off by one centimeter from the waist, dyed deep burgundy, made into natural soft curls, and combed to the left side, unprecedented fashion, trendy, image chasing after Korean drama female supporting roles.
Because the female supporting character's appearance is always better than the heroine, especially in the prince and Cinderella drama, the female supporting character is always high-end and elegant.
The stylist said I was short of a pair of earrings, so he took out a pair of irregularly-shaped pearl earrings and showed them to Shen Qiwei: "This style is very suitable for this girl, clean, pure, and the bold makeup is not overwhelming."
Shen Qiwei held the earrings up to my ears for comparison, even nodding in satisfaction, and then swiped her card with a flourish, without any hesitation. She grabbed my arm: "Today, I'll take you out to have some fun and make all the guys jealous. See, I'm not just suitable to be a little sister!"
"Can't you just drop it?"
Shen Qiwei pouted: "You should give a cold and elegant sidelong glance, like this."
She stood straight up, for a moment all smile was gone, slightly raised her chin, coldly staring at somewhere.
The atmosphere suddenly turned chilly.
The result collapsed in just one second.
After the first demonstration, he immediately restored his cheerful face, a feeling of split personality: "How about having some style? I tell you that if you don't do it this way in the company, you won't be able to shock those bastards who are always sneaky and deceitful. If you're not tough enough, they'll think you're stupid."
After leaving the modeling agency, Shen Qiwei drove me to the most vibrant nightlife area in the city, where there was the largest nightclub, Charm Tide.
It's my first time in such a setting, and for a moment, I'm surrounded by dazzling neon lights. The DJ on stage is spinning tracks that are full of energy, the flashing dance floor is packed with men and women rubbing shoulders and dancing closely together, creating an atmosphere that's lavish and fervent.
A deafening wave of sound assaults the ears.
Shen Qiwei grasped my arm and whispered in my ear, "Sister... I'm finished... this black fox spirit... who knows... might take revenge on me..."
Although she was shouting at the top of her lungs, I still didn't catch it all and only heard "go all out" and "avenge me", the music was really stunning, just like a blow to the heart.
I shouted at her what she said, she probably didn't hear either, and took me all the way to the bar, knocking on the counter: "Margarita, two cups!"
I pulled her sleeve and leaned in close to her ear, saying loudly: "I can't drink..."
"Who said?"
I thought about it, and this sentence was said by Su Hang before our junior high school graduation reunion - the party can sing songs too, but there's one thing, you can't drink alcohol, otherwise when you come back I'll have to deal with you!
Every word he said was clear in my ears, and it wasn't that I had forgotten, but rather didn't want to recall.
As a result, two shallow blue margaritas were handed over in front of me. I was more excited than anyone else to drink it, but Shen Qīwēi was shocked and quickly reached out to stop me: "Hey, this wine isn't drunk like that! You'll be knocked out after just a few cups! Are you trying to get drunk with one cup?"
I tilted my head and looked at her: "Do I look drunk? I still clearly remember this is the fourth cup, this wine tastes good, it has a lemon flavor!"
"This wine has a story." At some point, there was another person sitting next to the high stool, with a pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes, who said: "The bartender of Margerita lost his wife during a hunting trip and poured all his longing and nostalgia for his wife into this cup of blue agave. Margarita is his wife's name, it's a beautiful kind of wine."
His slender fingers pinched the high-heeled cup, and Marguerite's rim touched mine lightly, laughing with a radiant smile.
Shen Qiwei's pink lips touched lightly, and she silently mouthed two words - "pervert".
I let out a snort of laughter, and the person raised an eyebrow. I quickly explained: "I wasn't laughing at you, really, your story is quite good, just like my elementary school summer diary!"
I'm really bragging about him, my elementary school weekly journals were always full marks.
He just smiled wryly and said, "First time here? You look new."
I smiled and didn't prepare to respond.
Looks like a regular at nightclubs, indeed has some appearance, but the story of his pickup lines is really cheesy and doesn't know how many times he's used it.
There is only one thing he said that was right, margerita is indeed beautiful. I lowered my head to look at the light blue liquid in the cup and thought of the lady with the same name as this wine, wondering if she was also as beautiful as it.
Shen Qiwei stuck to my ear: "At twelve o'clock, there is a handsome guy on the platform looking at you, he looks really good."
I was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction, a pair of eyes with light smoky makeup, eyebrows and eyes had a few points of charm, four eyes met, he raised his cup to me, hooked his lips and smiled, and unexpectedly had some evil charm.
"How is it?" Shen Qiwei's voice sounded in her ear: "Isn't he very handsome?"
"What's the use of being handsome if he's not my type." I withdrew my gaze, tilted my head and rested my cheek on my hand, looking at Shen Qiwei: "If you were to get married, would you find a husband in a place like this?"
"How is that possible? I'm going to marry someone who can't be found anywhere else, I must be crazy to come here looking for a husband!"
I laughed, shaking my shoulders, and Shen Qiwei made a face: "Do you think I'm still obsessed with Red Sleeves at this age? Time is money, and it's all spent making money, where's the time to indulge in romance?" She pushed me: "Okay, stop laughing, it's rare for us to have some fun together, don't waste this makeup!"
"Don't drag me to dance," I pointed to the lively dance floor: "Folk dances can still cheat kids, but that kind of thing I won't dance, no flexibility."
Everywhere I look, they all have slender waists, just looking at them makes me feel inferior, who would still want to go and compare with them? Besides, I'm not very good at dancing anyway.
Shen Qiwei took a few photos of the renminbi on the table, then dragged me to the dance floor, my feet were unstable, and I couldn't help but complain: "High heels are enough, can we wear sports shoes?"
"Can't you be less out of date? It's not a school friendship dance, which one wears sports shoes?"
I turned back to her and pointed at the DJ on stage: "Don't you see, isn't that a pair of sports shoes?"
Shen Qiwei's face was defeated: "No wonder he is both angry and in love with you, you really have the ability to drive people crazy!"
"Who did you say?"
"Look for trouble!"
Several question marks suddenly appeared in my mind, who did she know had a crush on me?
Shen Qiwei pushed through the crowd and pulled me to the center of the dance floor. Without saying a word, she started dancing jazz and occupied the space. Two good-looking men even came up to dance with her, surrounded by cheers and whistles.
This kind of passionate dance is rarely seen, I was somewhat infected and also applauded and cheered.
More and more people jumped up, and the atmosphere of everyone having fun was restored. Someone passed by me, grabbed my wrist and pulled me in, and before I knew it, I had entered the hot dance circle.
Heavens! I really don't have any foundation in dancing at all! My limbs are completely stiff!
This person stuck to my back, yet kept a certain distance, hands clasped around my waist, I could almost feel the scorching breath sprayed on my ear.
This situation is too dangerous, I feel all the hairs on my body standing up, struggling to break free several times, but being blocked back by that person without a trace, can't help but get angry: Damn it!
Shen Qiwei winked at me through a handsome guy, I was embarrassed, lifted my foot and fiercely stepped on the pair of leather shoes closest to me, with the heel, as you can imagine.
The strength of the hands on my waist suddenly loosened, and I took advantage of it to break free. Without looking back, I ran towards the outside of the dance floor, only hearing Shen Qiwei's apologetic voice behind me.
"Oh dear, sorry, sorry, sorry..."
Shen Qiwei politely pushed open the crowd of people who were dancing enthusiastically, and shouted at me in a loud voice: "Hey, wait for me or I'll die!"
I scrunched up my face and retorted: "You still pulled me to dance while I was wearing high heels, what a huge grudge is this?"
"This isn't a rare opportunity, wasting a handsome guy like that, taking you to dance and you're still secretly calculating, how ruthless!" Shen Qiwei pointed at the person walking over, wasn't it the gentleman with the smoky makeup from the 12 o'clock direction on the viewing platform.
I was so embarrassed that I saw the person's face full of displeasure, and subconsciously dragged Shen Qiwu to run away. Who knew if I stepped on a thug or a gentleman?
Shen Qiwei must think I'm crazy in the eyes, she laughed so hard and waved at that handsome guy: "Take a step ahead, see you later!"
Anyway, I won't see him again, and Q city is not small either.
I turned back and saw that person standing at the entrance with a helpless expression, his eyes fixed on us as we walked further and further away.
I pulled Shen Qiwei and walked even faster.
She got on the bus still smiling, leaning on the steering wheel and laughing so hard that she was out of breath. I wrapped my coat tightly around me, with a thin layer of silk stockings on my legs that didn't keep any warmth at all. It was definitely freezing, but beauty was nowhere to be seen.
I poked her: "Hurry up and drive, I think my warm bed is about to die!"
"Haha, haha, do you know who that person is?" She finally managed to say this sentence, and then started laughing again. "Haha, it's been a long time since I've seen someone so shocked, haha, I think it was the first time he's ever been stepped on! Haha, his face at that moment was just too funny!"
I didn't say anything, letting her enjoy herself there. When she finally had enough fun, she said seriously: "You will absolutely have nothing to do with the nightclubs in this city from now on, he is the boss of Mei Chao."
"So young!!!!" Now it's my turn to be shocked, even if he's wearing heavy makeup, he looks at most in his thirties? Can he really be in his thirties?
Shen Qiwei nodded: "I heard he's thirty-five, single, and people are guessing that forty percent think he's divorced, forty percent think he's gay, and the remaining twenty percent have all sorts of guesses."
I was shocked again: "What's it to you if someone else is fine?"
"Paying attention to Diamond Man is a must-do job for every woman, don't you know?"
"You look so sincere, I almost believed you."
Shen Qiwei twitched her mouth: "You're the kind of person who's been stuck in a pot for eight hundred years, you can't understand the distress of having no one to marry."
It's really annoying that she can't get it right, I had to correct her: "I'm only twenty, you're the same age as me, thank you."
"Hmm..." She pondered for a moment before saying: "Spending the whole day being bossed around by the company, and suddenly several years of youth are gone. This business is really a loss."
"Alright, how old are you? You're driving a BMW and wearing designer brands. How many people your age are as rich as you, like a high-end salted egg yolk? And yet you're still not satisfied?"
Shen Qiwei looked at me and said, "Can't you change the way you praise people? Using salted duck egg yolk to describe me, are we really good sisters?"
"Do you still need to doubt? Am I not a good sister who is willing to praise you?" Look into my eyes, how sincere.
Shen Qiwei shook her head again and again, laughing in a rather helpless manner.
I adjusted my sitting posture and looked at her, saying: "Seriously, at the age of 20, how many girls can be like you, with the courage to give up their studies and start a business? Looking around, aren't you the youngest female boss?"
"But I'm not satisfied, what I want is not just a Q city wedding dress customization company, I want everyone in the world to think of Annie when they mention wedding dresses, this is different from my original intention when I first established the wedding dress customization..."
This girl's ambition is a model for her peers, compared to her, I suddenly feel ashamed, others have already started planning to establish a world brand, while I'm still living a leisurely life.
I couldn't help but feel ashamed and covered half of my face, sighing: "It's already good enough, can't just gobble it all up in one bite and become a chubby, we still have a gap with foreign countries, customized wedding dresses are still a niche market, need to give it some time to warm up."
"Q city will develop like this, the consumption level is here, I have thought about it for a long time, and I want to open a branch in Shanghai." Her voice was serious, not like that of a twenty-year-old.
"I think it's time for you to customize wedding dresses and plan a wedding strategy, my brother can also use his connections to help promote it. Do you want to cooperate with the film industry to provide wedding dresses?" I thought for a moment: "If we want to make people remember our brand, we need to let them get familiar with it first. TV commercials are too expensive, we can learn from foreign countries and advertise on buses..."
I finished speaking and paused for a moment before she asked: "Is that all?"
"And also I'm afraid you'll forget."
"We'll have a meeting the day after tomorrow to set plans, you also think of some ways for me, we can still afford to lose tens of millions!"
I was stunned: "You're going to spend a million on publicity?"
"Not a chance." Shen Qiwei shook her head: "Leaving Q City, Annie would lose all her foundation, having to start from scratch. Less than 50 million might not even make a sound."
"You're really wealthy..." I was shocked by this large sum of money, and only after sitting down did I remember to ask: "Did you choose Shanghai or Beijing?"
"Shanghai is better, Beijing always feels too serious, Shanghai doesn't, mainly because there are too many familiar faces..."
The last sentence is the key, right?
