Chapter 20 

The night breeze blows away the fragrance of tea in half of the room.

Qin Jia withdrew his gaze from the window, turned his head to look at the contemplative man at the table, and proposed: "Lu Tingzhou, there is a shopping street opposite, why don't we go over and take a stroll?"

The implication of her words is that since you can't think of an answer while sitting there, you can walk around and take a look, and maybe you can open your mind.

In front of the wooden table, Lu Tingzhou understood and gave Qin Jia an affirmative look. He got up from his seat, put on his coat, and walked out.

Out of the teahouse, Qin Jia and Lu Tingzhou were side by side, and bodyguard fifteen silently followed behind.

The shopping street is long, and the colorful light signs flicker in the night, which is dizzying to watch.

The two of them started shopping, the first few were specialty food stores, Qin Jia had just eaten, his stomach was still full, and he had no desire to go in.

She raised her face and asked Lu Tingzhou: "Do you have any favorite food?" I'll send you.

Lu Tingzhou shook his head and said in a light tone: "I don't eat much snacks, look at something else."

Qin Jia nodded, "Okay."

Walking dozens of meters one after another, they have been on the street, and they have not entered a single store.

Qin Jia looked back at the road he had walked, there were dozens of shops on both sides, and Lu Tingzhou had no desire to shop at all.

It seems that this question is really difficult, no wonder he has no answer for half a day. She thought.

A few more steps forward.

Qin Jia saw a very popular shop, men and women entered in pairs, she hurriedly called Lu Tingzhou, pointed to the store, and asked him: "Go in and have a look?"

Lu Tingzhou stopped, followed her hand and looked up, looking up slightly, it was a GG card with the brand name written on it, and there was a line of words at the bottom of the poster.

"Diamonds have a price, but true love is priceless."

He lowered his eyes and looked at the girl who was in high spirits, and there were indescribable emotions surging in his heart.

She......

Is this a cryptic confession?

After a few seconds, his thoughts were interrupted by a serious sigh: "Hey, forget it, the budget is not enough."

Money is not a problem, he can add money.

"The ring is beautiful, but it doesn't seem appropriate to give it to friends. "

......"

The long street is full of people.

Lu Tingzhou pressed the feelings in his heart, looked at her with dark and clear eyes, and called her name lightly.

"Qin Jia.

Qin Jia turned around when he heard this, "Huh?"

"I figured out what I wanted. Finally hearing the

word "want", Qin Jia couldn't help but jump up, she blinked, stared at him very seriously, and waited for his next words.

As his gaze wandered, the man's gaze moved down slightly, falling on the pendant on her bag.

Qin Jia lowered his eyes, looked at the little koala pinned to the tote bag, and was suddenly stunned.

"You want this?"

Lu Tingzhou: "Hmm."

After that, the two didn't wander around aimlessly, and went directly to a high-end jewelry store.

After looking around the store, I finally found my target in the corner.

In front of the shelf.

Qin Jia crossed her arms, her eyes wandered up and down, she didn't see the koala, and asked him, "Is it okay with other animals?"

"Either way.

Lu Tingzhou said lightly: "You pick."

Since she sent it, it is reasonable for her to choose.

Qin Jia looked at the shelves again, and after careful comparison, she reached out and picked one of them, showing Lu Tingzhou an orange cat that fell on it.

"Is it cute?"

Lu Tingzhou glanced at the soft and cute orange cat, looked at her again, and hummed softly.

Qin Jia narrowed his eyes and smiled, "That's it."

She lowered her head and flipped over to see the price, 84 yuan. With a budget of 800, you can buy 10 with a little more.

So, she asked Lu Tingzhou: "Do you want anything else?" There's also a lot of money.

Lu Tingzhou looked at the little orange cat in her hand, thought about it and took another identical one.

Qin Jia raised his eyes to look at him, "You want two of the same? Don't you think it's repetitive?"

Lu Tingzhou said in a deep voice: "Here's one for you."

Qin Jia hung the orange cat back in his hand, "I have it, I don't need to buy a new one."

Lu Tingzhou didn't speak, and silently took off the ornament she put back again.

"I like double numbers. He said solemnly, "In addition, the two add up to 168, which is an auspicious number."

Qin Jia paused, "Okay."



After delivering the gift, Qin Jia took the car home.

When she was about to get home, she received a message from her colleague Lin Luxi on WeChat. Lin Lucy transferred 800 yuan to her and asked her to return it to her enthusiastic friend.

Thinking of the experience of giving gifts tonight, Qin Jia suddenly felt that instead of buying gifts, she might as well learn from Lin Lucy and transfer the money directly to Lu Tingzhou.

That way, he doesn't have to worry about what to buy, and she doesn't have to worry about what to give.

Easy for both people.

Thinking about it, Qin Jia opened the chat box with Lu Tingzhou and transferred the remaining 632 yuan.

After a few seconds, a message popped up on the screen. Lu Tingzhou sent a question mark, as if he didn't understand what she was doing.

Qin Jia typed on the keyboard: [I said that I would give a return gift of 800, but you only spent 168 yuan, and I will transfer the rest of the money directly to you.] L

: No.

Qin Jia replied while thinking: [Friends should also settle accounts, one yard to one yard. L

: Do you have free time on the weekends? Walk around with me and spend the rest of the money.

Luna: On weekends, I went to other places with my colleagues to participate in jewelry competitions. Not available.

L: Where are you going?

Qin Jia Luna: Cloud City.

L: Yuncheng specialties are good, help me buy some?

Qin Jia Luna: It's not that you don't eat zeroFood?

L: Send a colleague.

After speaking, Lu Tingzhou refused to accept her transfer, and then transferred 6,000 yuan to her, and asked her to help buy 6,000 Yuncheng specialties and send them back by express.

Qin Jia accepted the money, she looked at the increased balance in her WeChat wallet, and was stunned for a while.

I don't know if it's her delusion, her money, it seems that she can't spend it all.

Recently, she seems to have been collecting money, and even when she goes to the mall to watch a movie, she can happen to encounter coupons, and until now, there are still 170 coupons in the background that have not been used.

Maybe luck. Hopefully I can keep on with good luck. She thought.

Thinking about it, he suddenly felt tired, Qin Jia put down his phone and rested on the back of the chair.

In the driver's seat, Fifteen raised his eyes and looked at the endoscope, "Miss, I'll be home in three minutes."

Qin Jia whispered: "I'll take a nap."

"Just a while.

Fifteen didn't squeak, he looked at the empty road in front of him, and silently lowered his speed.

-

Friday night, before bedtime.

Qin Jia checked her luggage in the room, and after repeatedly confirming that there was no problem, she carefully buckled the suitcase, stood up the suitcase, and gently pushed it to the corner.

Just went out for two days, she didn't prepare too many things, and she brought a small box.

After finishing her luggage, she was about to go to bed when suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.

Qin Jia responded, the door was unscrewed, and Shen Yushu came in with two skirts, with a smile on his face: "Jiajia, bring two more skirts, I specially picked two light ones."

Qin Jia looked at the two evening dresses in her hands and shook her head, "Mom, I'm here to help my colleagues show jewelry, not to participate in the beauty pageant."

Shen Yushu disagreed, "Clothes and gems complement each other, be prepared a little more, be prepared."

"If I'm not mistaken, the finals will be broadcast live online. You represent Zhen Yuan, you can't be sloppy.

Shen Yushu noticed the small box in the corner of the room, and said slowly, "If you like a lot of things, Mom can ask Ah Ling to help you bring them."

Ah Ling is Shen Yushu's personal female bodyguard, and she is the eldest sister among the bodyguards.

Qin Jia was surprised: "You mean, let Sister Ling go to Cloud City with me?"

Shen Yushu nodded, "On the surface, fifteen still follow you, and Ah Ling will secretly protect you."

Before, because of her negligence, An Jun had an opportunity. Shen Yushu has been regretting it. She thought more than once that at that time, if she had a snack and found a few people to secretly protect Qin Jia, the poisoning would not happen at all.

Recently, her daughter's state has only improved a little, and Shen Yushu does not dare to be careless.

"Don't worry, Ah Ling is very experienced, she will definitely not hinder you. She added.

Qin Jia nodded and did not refuse.

Shen Yushu smiled with satisfaction, hugged her skirt and prepared to go out, but Qin Jia stopped her.

"Mom, since Sister Ling and Fifteen are going—" She bent her eyes and said with a smile, "Then get a few more dresses, and you can help me choose."

Shen Yushu paused, turned his head to look at her, and the smile in his eyes deepened, "Okay."

-

One day later, the 23rd JWA International Jewelry Competition officially kicked off at the Cloud City Convention and Exhibition Center.

In the past, the competition was not public, and it was mainly judged by a comprehensive panel of expert judges and the general public. The competition was sponsored by two major international luxury brands, which paid more attention to discussion and created momentum on the Internet early.

The competition is divided into three rounds, the first round is 5 into 4, the second round is 4 into 3, and the third round is determined. The theme of each round is different, and the contestants need to provide different works.

The competition is broadcast live online, and the online voting channel is open at the same time, and the online voting does not affect the on-site results, but the works with the highest number of votes have the Internet Popularity Award, and they can also get the opportunity to participate in the International Fashion Week.

Backstage, Lounge 5.

Lin Luxi pushed open the door and saw Qin Jia wearing a dress, curled up in the corner of the sofa to sleep, and her originally nervous heart sank instantly.

She trotted all the way over and gently shook Qin Jia's arm, "Qin Jia, wake up."

"The game is about to begin!"

Lin Luxi went out for a walk just now and secretly inquired about the news, but as a result, she unexpectedly found that each contestant had brought three models over, all of whom were terrible.

On the sofa, Qin Jia opened his eyes and looked at Lucy Lin lightly, "What's wrong?"

She set an alarm clock, and she won't waste time.

Lin Lucy sat down, the whole person was anxious, and she was visibly absent from the naked eye.

She looked at the two lonely sets of clothes on the hanger, and then looked at Qin Jia, her voice trembling, "Qin Jia, what should I do? I suddenly don't want to compare, people are better prepared than me, let's catch the ducks on the shelves, and we will definitely lose super ugly......"

"Originally, the director didn't agree to me to participate in the competition, if I was eliminated in the first round, the company group might laugh at me."

Lin Luxi babbled a lot, and poured out all the bitter water in one go.

Qin Jia sat up with a soft pillow, gently stroked her back, and instructed her to adjust her breathing unhurriedly, "Listen to me, you just need to have faith in your jewelry, as for clothes, I have foreign help."

"Foreign aid?" Lin Luxi slowly calmed down, "What kind of foreign aid?"

Qin Jiawen smiled lightly, "You tell me first, what theme you drawn."

Lucy Lin let go of her hand and spread out the crumpled paper ball in her palm, "Outdoor, natural."

"Nature?" Qin Jia groaned as he spoke, picking up the mobile phone next to him, "Wait a minute, I'll make a call."

Not long after, a super cool sister came in from outside the door, she pulled two large suitcases, calmly closed the door, put the boxes on the ground and opened them.

A few minutes later, Lin Luxi looked at the row of dresses on the shelves, and looked at Qin Jia in a daze, and the whole person was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

After a while.

She couldn't help but ask, "Qin Jia, where did you get so many dresses?" Do you own a clothing store?"

Several of them are limited editions of a high-end clothing brand owned by Qin's, and ordinary people can't buy them at all.

Qin Jia smiled, "Don't worry about it so much, I'll change into a green dress, you can quickly think about which jewelry to match."

Lin Luxi nodded, held back the tears that were about to fall, and re-entered the state.



On the other side, Yucheng Central Hospital.

In the VIP senior ward, Qin Zongming looked at his physical examination report and raised his eyebrows casually.

He didn't have any major problems with his body, except for old problems with his stomach and thyroid.

As for the allergy to acacia flowers, if it weren't for this contact, he really didn't know he had this problem.

Qin Zongming couldn't understand why he had only been on a business trip for more than a month, and the atmosphere at home seemed to have changed.

Shen Yushu was very resistant to him, his daughter became weird, and others didn't seem to respect him so much. Especially Steward Sun, I don't know where I learned some lip sync kung fu, and I dismantle his platform at every turn, which is very annoying.

Thinking of this, Qin Zongming became angry.

He put down the inspection report, raised his voice and shouted twice to the living room, "Steward Sun, Steward Sun."

There was no response.

Qin Zongming frowned, and walked out with his long legs. He left the bedroom and went to the living room to find everyone wearing headphones and not knowing what they were listening to.

He walked up behind Steward Sun, took off his left earphone, and leaned over to take a look.

"Jewelry competition?" Qin Zongming raised his eyebrows, "Steward Sun, when did you become interested in jewelry?"

Steward Sun turned around, he was taken aback, he moved his chair to the side, and moved away from Qin Zongming, "The eldest lady and her colleagues are going to participate in the jewelry competition, and Mrs. asked us to vote for her."

Qin Zongming narrowed his eyes and stared at his phone screen tightly, "Live broadcast?"

Steward Sun: "Yes."

Qin Zongming raised his eyes, "Can I cast the screen?"

Steward Sun was stunned, "I have to try."

A few minutes later.

The video was smoothly projected, Steward Sun sat down, and not long after, others also came in.

Qin Zongming nestled in the recliner in the corner, looked at the TV screen, and said, "Where is the eldest lady? Isn't it already eliminated?"

He said and snorted softly, "I said that your efforts are in vain, so what's the use of just a few tickets? People can't do it, they can't always blame the uneven road.

"Don't I know my daughter?" The more Qin Zongming spoke, the more energetic he became, "She, she hasn't won the first place since she was a child, participating in the competition is always about participation, it's good to win the third place with hard work, I said you ......"

What else did he want to say, but he was blocked by someone with a piece of sweet mung bean cake, and the rest of the words were all blocked in his mouth, muttering that he couldn't speak clearly.

Qin Zongming fixed his eyes and saw that it was Steward Sun again. His eyes widened angrily, and he took a bite of the mung bean cake, "Steward Sun, what's the matter with you?"

Steward Sun ignored him, sat back straight, picked up the remote control, and turned up the sound of the TV.

On TV, the competition has come to the third round, and the three players are competing for the final position.

"Next, I would like to invite the last contestant of this round, No. 5 player Lin Luxi, to draw the theme 'Dream', I wonder how she and her friends will present it?"

After the host finished speaking, Lin Luxi came on the stage, and she stated her design while switching PPT.

At the same time, a row of barrages slipped through the live broadcast room, and the discussion was very lively.

[Castle and princess? The concept of good soil is not very creative.

[No. 2 is also a fantasy theme, it's interesting to choose shells and pearls, No. 5 is out of play.]

[Is the partner of No. 5 still coming out in this round? ] The last round of green skirts is so beautiful that I am speechless]

[I want to see my partner's young sister +1, the young lady is so beautiful, I feel that I can win the championship with a sack, I have called on my whole family to vote for her!

[Be sober in front, this is a jewelry competition, not a beauty contest!] Qin

Zongming looked at the huge barrage text, silently put down the mung bean cake, wiped his hands with wet wipes, and searched for the voting information of this game on his mobile phone.

He clicked on the link and looked at all the photos from the past two rounds.

In contrast, his daughter is indeed the most beautiful, and the jewelry on her body complements the person, and the beauty is impeccable.

Qin Zongming logged on to the webpage and voted for her twice.

As soon as he finished voting, there was a waw sound in the room, and Qin Zongming looked up and only saw the text on the screen.

The dense "It's so good-looking", "The God of Beauty is coming", "Ordinary jewelry is special because of you", all kinds of flattering words, Qin Zongming couldn't help but be curious.

"Steward Sun, can you turn off this word on it, so that no one can see it. Steward

Sun poked his mobile phone and tinkered for a long time, but he really couldn't turn off the barrage, so he had to retreat and reduce the transparency of the text.

The picture gradually became clearer, and just now, the camera cut to Qin Jia.

She wore a rose pink bandeau dress with layers of skirts, and every step was dreamy and elegant, as if she were really a princess from the castle.

Stones of the same color are just right to embellish her neck and wrists, and under the light, her fair skin contrasts with the gemstones, and the visual effect is much more vivid than the floor plan.

Finally, she stopped at a fixed position and gently brushed her hair open, revealing the earrings on her ears, as if the finishing touch, and the whole picture lit up.

The exhibition links were all over, and the No. 5 score counterattacked the first place and successfully won the championship.

Steward Sun looked back at Qin Zongming and said excitedly: "Sir, the eldest lady won the first place."

Qin Zongming sat up straight casually, helped his injured right hand, and pretended to be indifferent: "There's nothing to be proud of, it's just an ordinary jewelry competition."

"You should take first place.

Steward Sun pursed his lips, silently turned off the TV, and went out with the others.

Only Qin Zongming was left in the room.

He took out his phone and looked at the fine print of the jewelry contest. The first prize is 500,000 yuan, which will be awarded directly to the contestant, and may not reach the partner.

He ponderedAfter a while, he opened the bank app and silently transferred one million to Qin Jia.

-

Cloud City, Convention and Exhibition Center.

In the lounge, Lin Luxi hugged Qin Jia and cried, tears flowed out, "Qin Jia, thank you, if it weren't for you, I might not even be able to pass the first round."

Qin Jia whispered: "How can it be so exaggerated, you can enter the finals by your strength, I am just icing on the cake."

Lin Luxi sat up straight, she sniffed, looked at Qin Jia with a pair of reddened eyes, and said solemnly: "No, you really helped me a lot."

"When I was in school, I was nervous every time I took the big exam, and it was common to drop the chain.

"Every time I have a big competition, I will always be the unstable factor, and the best result is the third place. "

It's the first time I've won the first place. She wiped away her tears with a tissue and said with a smile, "This number one means a lot to me, and I will remember it for a long, long time."

"Qin Jia, after the 500,000 bonus arrives, I will share half of you, will you accept it?"

Qin Jia looked at Lin Luxi's red eyes and nodded firmly.

"Do it as you wish.

Lin Luxi rested for a while and cried again, "Qin Jia, can I hug you again?"

Qin Jia opened his hands towards her, smiled and said, "Of course you can."

Twenty minutes later.

Returning to the hotel with two trophies, Lucy Lin was still a little fluttering: "It's rare enough to win the first place on the spot, and I didn't expect that the online voting was also the first."

After a while, she looked at Qin Jia next to her, and quickly calmed down again, "Qin Jia, you are so good-looking, if I were an audience, I would definitely vote for you."

She said and handed the trophy of the popularity award to Qin Jia, "You can take this home."

"Keep a memento.

Qin Jia took it in a daze, "Thank you."

The two packed up their things and planned to go back, but Qin Jia suddenly remembered something and asked Lin Luxi: "Hey, do you know where to sell local specialties?"

"Qingle Street, two kilometers away from the hotel, is sold, and the specialties there are more authentic. Lin Lucy said, "I specially checked before I came, if you want to buy it, let's go together, and I will also bring some back."

Qin Jia: "Okay."

For convenience, Fifteen specially rented a car and drove the two of them to buy souvenirs.

Lin Luxi was carefully selected in the store, and in comparison, Qin Jia was much rougher.

She took a large bag, and some directly commanded fifteen whole boxes to be moved to the cash register.

Lin Luxi was shocked when she saw this: "Qin Jia, why are you buying so many specialties?"

Qin Jia opened the calculator to calculate the price, and said while entering the numbers: "I brought it for a friend."

Lin Lucy asked casually: "Is that the kind person who gave us a private room?"

Qin Jia bowed, "Yes, it's him."

Lin Lucy looked at the big bags and small bags at the cash register, and wondered: "Can he finish eating?"

Qin Jia: "He doesn't eat, he gives it to his colleagues."

Lin Lucy took a bag of snacks and quipped: "This person is weird, he doesn't want anything, he just buys it for his colleagues, if only I were his colleague."

Being reminded by her like this, Qin Jia suddenly remembered that maybe she should also bring something to Lu Tingzhou by the way.

She walked around the shop and found a pile of specialty felt in the crafts section. Without thinking, she took two beckoning cats.

-

Death Monday.

Secretary Lin dragged his tired body into the company building after two days of hi, he finished punching the card and just wanted to go upstairs, but was suddenly stopped by the security guard.

"Secretary Lin, Mr. Lu's courier has arrived, please help me sign for it.
Secretary
Lin rubbed his eyes and signed his name casually. He pointed to a small box next to him, yawned and asked the security guard, "This is it."

The security guard shook his head, "That's not all."

As he spoke, he pointed to the corner, where large and small boxes were piled up into a small mountain, and it was desperate to look at.

The corners of Secretary Lin's mouth twitched, and he immediately ran away without a trace, "All?!"

Seeing the security guard nodding, his eyes darkened, and he quickly called his colleagues and asked them to come over to help.

Ten minutes later.

The hill downstairs was moved, and there were a few more panting men in the office of the president of Zecheng Technology.

As soon as Lu Tingzhou entered the door, he saw the male employees sweating profusely, and casually asked the reason.

Several people looked at each other.

Secretary Lin took the lead in speaking: "Mr. Lu, why do you buy so many Yuncheng specialties?"

Lu Tingzhou said lightly: "I'll give you something to eat."

As soon as the words fell, the few people who were too tired just now were immediately full of enthusiasm again.

After soliciting Lu Tingzhou's opinion, they began to dismantle the express, and after dismantling, they were sorted and stacked and put in the office of the logistics director.

However, when it came to the last few boxes, they felt that something was wrong.

"Secretary Lin, these two fortune trees, two beckoning cats, and two Pixiu ......"

"Are they all for us?"

Lu Tingzhou, who had just come out to catch the water, glanced at the box lightly, "Those are mine."

"Put me in the office. Secretary

Lin put his things away, and before leaving Lu Tingzhou's office, he happened to come back.

He cautiously closed the door and asked Lu Tingzhou hesitantly: "Mr. Lu, then, has our company encountered any difficulties?"

As he spoke, his thoughts couldn't stop diverging: "Those specialties, they shouldn't be casual meals, right?"

Lu Tingzhou glanced at him calmly, casually playing with the felt cat in his hand, "How can you see it?"

Secretary Lin: "Otherwise, why do you buy so many things to attract wealth?"

Lu Tingzhou flicked the cat's hand, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly, "The company is very good."

"As for the specific reason," Lu Tingzhou raised his eyes, still with a smile in his eyes, "You don't understand it."

"Don't think about it, work hard. 

Secretary Lin: "...... Oh. "
