Hollywood Hunter

Chen Qing said while stepping into the gate of the courtyard.

In addition to a pair of waitresses on the left and right of the door, there are four other girls standing in front of the door in front of the wall. One of them heard Chen Qing's words, raised his head slightly, and quickly lowered his eyes.

Chen Qing noticed the girl's small movements and pointed to the other party: "Take us in and walk around."

Seeing Chen Qing pointing over, the girl politely bowed her body slightly, made a gesture of invitation, gestured to the side door, and said in fluent English: "Okay, Miss Chen, Ms. Brant, please here."

Emmanuel followed Chen Qing into the left-hand side door under the guidance of the waitress, and then entered the second door inward. Then he noticed one thing and asked: "It's strange, why the previous door was not in the courtyard. In the middle?"

Chen Qing walked at the forefront, looking around the completely renovated courtyard of the house. Wen Yanchao followed the waitress: "Do you know, explain to her?"

The waitress slightly slowed down and followed behind the two. When Chen Qing asked, she also saw that Emmanuel had just changed the Chinese language. She also answered in Mandarin: "Ms. Brandt, this is according to China. The layout of the feng shui theory is that among the five elements and gossip, the Xuan Gua is in the southeast, and the five elements belong to the wind.

Emmanuel listened very carefully. After the waitress finished speaking, she nodded and said, "It's really interesting. I'm more interested in this matter. Can you recommend me a book that introduces Chinese Five Elements and Eight Diagrams?"

The waitress said: "The Book of Changes, this is the root of all the five elements and gossip theory in China. However, Brent waitress, this book is very obscure, even the average Chinese can't understand."

"Do you understand?"

The waitress hesitated a little and said, "If only a brief explanation, I can help."

"So, you teach me these days."

The waitress glanced at the front of Chen Qing, seeing that she had no objection, and nodded slightly: "This is my honor."

After chatting like this, the three entered the second courtyard, and Emmanuel looked around again. Compared with the narrow alleys outside, this is really what Chen Qing said, the foundation of a city, whether it is in the courtyard The knotted old trees or the surrounding blue bricks and blue tiles all have an antique beauty, but unfortunately it is still early spring. If it is the summer season, the thick green shades and the blue bricks and blue tiles must be more in harmony.

Chen Qing in front suddenly said again: "It's pretty?"

Emmanuel nodded: "Yeah."

Chen Qingdao: "Unfortunately, except for the old trees in the yard, the rest were basically rebuilt in the past year."

Emmanuel was surprised and looked around: "It doesn't look like it."

Chen Qing turned her head and glanced at her: "From the gate you just entered, they were all rebuilt, but all the bricks and tiles on the original building were removed, re-planned and designed, and the vacant materials could not be filled in. Build it up."

Emmanuel was a little stunned and subconsciously looked at the waitress beside her eyes.

The waitress noticed Emmanuel’s gaze and shook her head slightly: “I moved here a week ago, but, as Miss Chen said, it was all rebuilt. Here, um, I have suffered very serious damage, even No repair is possible, only reconstruction."

Chen Qing said in the front: "In fact, I hoped that the boss would choose the courtyard house next to Houhai or the Forbidden City. I didn't expect that he would choose Nanluogu Lane here. Oh, it can be understood that the boss likes a big place. This is a standard five-entry courtyard house. What’s more, I probably knew that the quality of this house was too bad, and I built a garden next to it with a total area of ​​more than 5000 square meters. Now in this city, there are not many people who can live in such a large private house. Some have become memorials."

Speaking of entering the courtyard recently, Chen Qing did not stay, but walked to a side door on the right hand side, crossed this side door, and an open garden in the style of Suzhou garden appeared in front of him.

Unfortunately, it is still not the right season.

However, it has obviously been carefully reorganized here. Even without the greenery that the garden should have, the scattered pavilions and pools are still full of ancient charm.

Chen Qing walked back to you in the front yard of the garden along the flagstone path, Gu Zi walked to a small pavilion by the pool, sat down on the stone chair in the pavilion, and finally just remembered the general, and looked at the waitress who was on the way, The height of about one meter and seven, slim and well-proportioned, exquisite goose egg face, with a pair of apricot eyes, immediately charming natural: "What is your name?"

Seeing Emmanuel sit down beside Chen Qing at random, the waitress did not dare to give birth to the same thoughts, and still respectfully stood beside him and heard the words: "Jiangshan dance."

Chen Qing bent her lips: "Silver snake of the mountain dance, the original wax figure?"

The maid named Jiangshan Wu nodded.

"Oh, I guess, you won't have an older brother or younger brother named Jiang Yuanchi, right?"

Jiangshan Dance cooperated with Chen Qing's ridicule, slightly raised some corners of her mouth and said, "It's a sister."

"How old?"

"Two years younger than me, she is at Peking University."

Speaking of the name of a certain university, Jiangshan Wu's tone added some pride.

Chen Qing, who was sitting at the stone table, lifted his chin. His attitude was a bit lazy. It seemed that he did not feel a certain emotion in Jiangshan Wu's tone. He said lightly: "Are you beautiful?"

Jiang Shan Wu paused and nodded: "Pretty."

"Take a look these past few days, since you can enter this yard, she should be fine, just stay if you can."

Jiang Shanwu looked up at Chen Qing, but in less than a second he closed his eyes again and said softly, "My sister is only a freshman."

Chen Qing was very satisfied: "It's best to have this. I have no problem with my brain, and I haven't thought so much about it, so I can just adjust it from scratch."

Jiang Shanwu bit her lip, raised her head again, and looked at Chen Qing: "Miss Chen, my sister will not come, and my parents will not agree that she will drop out of school now."

Chen Qing stared at her and suddenly turned a corner: "Do you understand French?"

Jiang Shanwu blinked a few times quickly, trying to deny it, only to feel Chen Qing's pair of charming but sharp eyes, and finally nodded gently.

"So, you understand what I said to Ayman at the gate."

Jiang Shanwu and Chen Qing looked at each other, and after a moment, they bit their lip: "Miss Chen, I, I think you just disrespected the person who just said that, this is, to materialize women."

"Oh, materialize women, hehe, which university did you graduate from?"

Jiangshan Dance hesitated a little and said: "Xi'an International Studies University."

"No wonder learning so many Western new words, materializing women, huh, yeah, I am foreign, and we are also, um, what is coming, anyway, it is quite fate." So, Chen Qing suddenly Jiangshan Dance ticked off: "Come here."

Jiang Shanwu hesitated a little, but stepped forward. Seeing that Chen Qing was still raising her hand, she could only move forward again, until the fingertips in front of her touched her chin.

Chen Qing unconsciously learned the movement of a man and picked the delicate chin of the girl in front of her. He said: "Jiangshan Dance, this name is a little too big. I also like to be smart. If I can't hold it up, be careful.

Jiang Shanwu didn't know how to refute for a while, and some did not dare to avoid it, and soon tears burst into her eyes.

Emmanuel was watching Chen Qing so'bullying people', she was a straightforward person, and she wanted to help persuade at first, but at this moment, somehow, looking at the situation in front of her, she suddenly did not dare to persuade .

mainly.

There is a feeling instinctively not wanting to catch fire.

Chen Qing watched the girl in front of her tears, spread her hands slightly, caught the ground accurately, held her head crooked in front of her eyes, and looked at it suddenly, and suddenly found that she didn't know how to deal with it, and sent it to Emmanuel immediately: "You try, I heard that the tears of beautiful girls are sweet."

Emmanuel seemed to be enchanted, and subconsciously stretched out his tongue and licked it.

Salty.

Obviously, I was cheated.

Chen Qing withdrew her right hand from which tears had been licked, and put her chin back on again. She watched the girl in front of her crying from silent to choking slowly. She admired her appearance. After a while, she followed Chen Qinglin and the other one. The female guard Catherine Elgar came over and finally broke the strange atmosphere.

Catherine Elgar just glanced at the Jiang Shanwu who finally recovered and started to wipe her tears in a panic, and said to Chen Qing: "Ms. Ran Yue is here."

Chen Qing nodded, stood up, and finally looked at the Jiangshan dance that barely stopped the choke: "Just now you and Ayman explained the reason for opening the door to the southeast, and the Chinese culture has a good background, or you have to prepare in advance. Well, the fifth chapter of Daode Jing Chapter, remember?"

Jiangshan Wu avoided Chen Qing's gaze and did not answer.

Chen Qingdao said, "Who is not a dog in all things in this world? So, don’t forget what I just said, and don’t think about the big deal. I won’t do it anymore. You’re so smart, maybe you don’t know who you are serving, but , Such a yard, now that you have come in and want to go out, where is it so easy?"

After Chen Qing finished speaking, he turned and walked to the nearest side door.

Catherine Elgar quickly followed, and of course found that Chen Qing was angry, her boss, how to say, only a gentle man like a kitten in front of a man, it is really not like on weekdays.Inquiringly looked at Emmanuel who was keeping up with him, and seeing that she just shrugged, Catherine dispelled the idea of ​​inquiry.

Catherine said'Ran Yue' was one of Chen Qing's team members on the Chinese side. At the age of 35, he was also a public official in Shanghai. Chen Qing successfully steadied his foot next to Simon and then persuaded Ran Come here to help yourself.In recent years, China's tide has been booming. At the age of 35, Ran Yue, who is only a sub-division level, also knew that he would not have much future if he continued to survive. In addition, Chen Qing's salary was quite generous, and he decisively quit. Position.

However, Ran Yue’s husband, who also worked in government departments only a half higher than her, did not resign.

The main reason is that both Ran Yue and his husband Cheng Shangxin are regarded as male families. It is only because of various reasons in those years that the couple’s direct support is gone, and this is a hopeless climb.However, whether it is Ran family or Cheng family, they still have considerable connections.

It’s just a connection.

how to say.

Still the old saying, no one in the poor city asked, rich in the mountains and distant relatives.

Everyone has equal status and can exchange resources with each other. That is the best state of network. Otherwise, relying on friendship alone is the most unreliable thing, and it will disappear after several consumptions.Ran Yue and his wife were in this state at the beginning.

Then, Ran Yue chose to resign to help Chen Qing, and in disguise caught up with the network of the Westero system, which was too thick to be thick, because the Westero system had various actions in the southeast coast, including Shanghai. Such a project always requires a contact person on the official page. So, Ran Cheng and his two dead chess games, which had no hope at all, were activated.

In the past year, Cheng Shangxin has not only successfully stepped up one level, but also stepped into the core of the development and reform commission of a municipality from the original Qingshui Yamen.

Of course, the Westeros system also benefits.

Through the introduction of Ran Yue and his wife, Chen Qing also opened a very wide network in Shanghai, because he only used the influence of various projects in the Westeros system to push the boat, and there was no substantial effort. Bigger.

Chen Qing came to the front anteroom of the Siheyuan. A round-faced woman in white suit and shawl with long hair, at least quite fashionable in China, quickly got up from the chair, and several other followers also stood up.

There was no sharpness just in front of the Jiangshan Dance, Chen Qing spread his arms affectionately and Ran Yue hugged, and said with a smile: "Sister Ran, it's really hard for you. I haven't returned to Shanghai for so many days. Scolding me."

Ran Yue also hugged Chen Qing and said with a smile: "The dead ghost won't miss me, maybe how many little girls have already hooked up."

"Oh, Brother Cheng is not that kind of person."

The two talked and laughed, and Ran Yue introduced a few others. Except that one of the girls was Ran Yue's assistant, the other three men of different ages were all big names in the jade circle in Beijing.

Ran Yue and others came this time, mainly for Simon to explain to all the girls of the Guofeng Art Troupe the preparation of jade nameplates.

Chen Qing's execution is very strong, and this matter has been resolved during this time.

Everyone greeted each other, Lin Su, who had just been taken by Chen Qing as a shopkeeper and was only responsible for cleaning up and arranging, also hurried over.

Ran Yue personally opened a large suitcase that he carried with him, inside which were long strips of delicate jewelry boxes. Everyone put on gloves solemnly, and then another middle-aged person picked out a box and handed it. Open the display in front of Chen Qing.

Before waiting for other people's reaction, Lin Su had already seen the difference.

Inside the box is a clearly carved jade necklace, the chain is made of platinum, and the pendant is selected Hetian jade seed material. This happens to be the most precious'red skin and white meat'.

However, the carvings and inscriptions of the jade pendant obviously do not meet the requirements.

Simon initially gave 100 names based on the vocabulary in the Book of Songs. Chen Qing found several top jade carving masters in the circle. Starting from selecting jade materials, he designed a set of special carving schemes for each name. .

In front of this precious'red skin and white meat' Hetian jade seed material, the seal character engraved on it was'Nine Tail'. Lin Su picked it up and looked closely. On the other side of the jade was also carved a lifelike nine-tailed fox.

The name given by Simon does indeed have a name related to the fox, and the name of a poem in the Book of Songs is taken as'You Fox'.

And this, Kyuo?

What the hell?

Nine-tailed fox?

The name given by Simon does not have these two words.

However, before waiting for Lin Su to raise his doubts, Chen Qing has snatched the pendant: "No mistake, this one is mine."

Lin Su suddenly became angry: "You, don't forget, he, like this the least."

"I said this to the boss, and, knowing that you are in charge of accounting, carefully valuing your business is like, I paid for this one myself." Then he looked at an old man who came with Ran Yue: "Master Ning, I can Wear it directly?"

The master jade carving surnamed Ning didn’t know why Chen Lin’s two daughters just had a small conflict. However, Chen Qing usually came forward on weekdays. This time, 101 jade pendants, even if shared with several people, is a big job. Thinking that the woman could introduce more to them in the future, too much natural respect and smile at this time: "Of course, this is not an amulet or something, but also open. Just wear it, but, Miss Chen, just wear it. Don’t take it down easily. Jade is to be raised. People raise jade for three years, and jade raises a person’s life.

Chen Qing heard Master Ning say this, instead of wearing it in a hurry, said with a smile: "So, then I still pick a better day." Then he put the jade pendant back into the box and took it in his hands to carefully examine it, He also praised: "It's a good job, Master Ning, I will definitely look for you when I have such a list in the future." Finally, I looked at Lin Su: "Since you pay so much attention, you will come to the last job. Be careful. I'm going to sleep for a day, I'm so tired."

After nodding with everyone, Chen Qing took the box and left the reception room.

The crowd sent Chen Qing away, watching the girl step into the gate of the inner courtyard, and was about to return. He heard a humming faintly.

*……

*There is Fox Sui Sui, in Bi Qiliang.The heart is worried, the son has no clothes.

*Have a sui sui...

Chen Qing is clearly still humming, but the song soon disappeared.

Lin Su heard that this was a song written by a man himself in the Book of Songs: You Fox. Others didn't know it. Master Ning, who had just been asked by Chen Qing, had an admiring expression: "Unexpectedly, Miss Chen sang a song casually. It’s so nice, the country has a beautiful rhyme."

Others echoed.

Lin Su just wanted to roll his eyes and endure not puncturing Chen Qing but just sang someone else's tune, and returned to the parlor to personally accept the 100 jade pendants sent by Ran Yue and others.

On the other side, Chen Qing came to the inner courtyard, and the west side room had been packed up. She would live here for the next few days.

Entering his room, he signaled the maid to help herself put the bath water, soak in a hot bath, come out in a short bathrobe, took out the jade pendant again, stood in front of a dressing mirror in the bedroom and looked at the jade pendant , And the people in the mirror.

The room murmured to himself: "'Charming the monarch, killing the country and the people'," hey, what a sin. The man lost his own country and relied on the woman. It's a joke. Even... a man can't hold a woman You deserve it if you lose your own country."

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Qing put on the jade pendant with two ancient seals engraved with'Nine Tails', looked into the mirror, and then simply withdrew her bathrobe, and squeezed her chest.

Ok.

The location is just right.

Certainly can produce a good jade.

After so appreciating himself, Chen Qing turned directly to the big bed and wrapped himself in a quilt before seeming to mutter to himself: "Tell me anything."
