Crystal almost crawled back to the hotel room. She didn't eat dinner and was doing high-intensity fitness training. At this moment, her battery was completely exhausted. If Zhou Jing hadn't laid a good foundation for conditioning her during this period, she would probably have died early.
I fainted in the gym.
Even so, Jing Jing still felt that her limbs were no longer listening to her brain, so she didn't even bother to wash up and threw herself on the soft bed. A sense of comfort instantly filled her body, making her not even think about lifting a finger.
It moved.
When the function group used to go on overseas trips, Crystal usually shared a room with Shirley. Now that Shirley was away, she was arranged to live with Song Qian. However, Song Qian had to arrive in Shanghai tomorrow due to schedule conflicts, so tonight she had to stay alone in the vacant room.
.
Just like this, Crystal lay on the bed and rested for a long time, almost falling asleep. Suddenly, a message rang on her cell phone. Crystal Star, with her eyes half-closed, raised her hand with difficulty to get the cell phone from the bedside table. However, when she clicked on it and looked at it, she lost all sleep.
hair.
A real-time selfie of Sulli suddenly appeared on the phone. In addition to Sulli, there were Yoona, Sooyoung, Yuri and Hyoyeon in the photo. This was not the reason why Crystal was so angry, but because they were eating hot pot.
"Yeah, that's too much. I haven't eaten anything yet, huh."
The traditional Laosijiucheng copper pot was steaming, and the table was filled with plates of sliced mutton and fat beef. Crystal's eyes turned green and she almost drooled. Angrily, she threw her phone aside and closed her eyes.
Entered into a sell-off state.
"Xiujing, eat more mutton, I specially brought this from the Chinese restaurant."
"Well, well, Oppa is so nice."
"If you have a chance to go to China in the future, I'll take you to eat Dong Laishun's hot-boiled mutton. It's much more delicious than this."
"Really? You're not lying to me."
"How is that possible? If you don't believe me, just ask Lu Hai."
"Brother, please don't cue me. You two just go on and pretend I don't exist."
"Yeah, Lu Hai, please slow down, you are almost finished."
"hey-hey."
Sweet memories flashed in Crystal's mind, making her temporarily forget her hunger and fatigue. A blush gradually appeared on her pale face. At this moment, someone rang the doorbell of the room.
Who is it? It couldn't be Li Zhuying who came to make a surprise inspection again. Crystal immediately felt a burst of anger, but she staggered over and opened the door. The next second, Amber quickly walked in carrying a bag.
"Amber, what are you doing?" Crystal asked in confusion when she saw the other party's sneaky look.
"Shhh" Amber saw this and hurriedly signaled Crystal to stop chirping, then opened her bag and handed it to Crystal like a treasure offering, "I was ordered to bring you a supper. How about it, be happy, my princess."
Late night snack? Crystal's eyes lit up for an instant but then dimmed again. Are you kidding me? The company formulated a weight-loss plan for her that involves dieting and increasing exercise. This late night snack was refreshing, but it would be wasted in an afternoon.
Have practiced.
Naturally, Crystal's little expression couldn't escape Amber's eyes, so she pulled Crystal to sit down at the table, then took out the midnight snack from the bag and comforted her:
"Don't worry, it won't affect your figure management. Didn't I just say I was following your orders? Don't you still trust him?"
"he?"
Perhaps it was fatigue and hunger that made Crystal's brain work a little slowly. After hearing what Amber said, she finally realized that this "him" must be none other than her own father, Zhou Jing.
"Haha, it was me who called Brother Zhou Jing. He was very worried that your health would not be able to bear it, so he specifically asked me to prepare this for you." Amber looked quite proud as she spoke.
The aroma was overflowing. Crystal looked at the food in front of her in surprise, "What is this? I haven't seen it before."
"Small wontons, Brother Zhou Jing said they have thin skin and little filling, low carbohydrate content, and there are shrimp skin and seaweed inside."
"Um"
"Oumai cake, have you finished eating?"
"Yeah, it's not much. It's just a matter of a few or two."
"Well, no wonder you want to go to the gym."
"ah"
[Crystal: Thank you for the little wontons. They are so delicious. I’m happy.]
[Zhou Jing: That thing can only satisfy the craving, but it may not be enough.]
[Crystal: Okay, but stinky Oppa, I miss you, what should I do?]
[Zhou Jing: Go to bed early, maybe we will meet in dreams.]
[Crystal: Okay, if you dare not show up, haha]
[Zhou Jing: Xiujing was the best in the competition, but Xiujing was the best at fighting.]
[Jingshuang: Huh, I guess you know the truth, stinky Oppa, Salang Hei.]
[Zhou Jing: I love you too, Xiujing.]
Looking at the chat history on his phone, a arrogant little idiot seemed to appear in front of Zhou Jing's eyes, which made him smile happily.
However, the good times did not last long. This smile only lasted for a few seconds and then disappeared, replaced by incomparable loneliness and melancholy.
The kettle was boiling, Zhou Jing put down his cell phone and lit a cigarette silently, then poured water and made tea very calmly. Surrounded by the aroma, this night should have been quiet and comfortable, but when he looked into the living room, it was a different scene.
The suitcase for the business trip had already been packed. Not only that, there were several cardboard boxes neatly stacked in the middle, containing all the personal belongings he had sorted out.
The night was dark, and it started to rain at some point outside the window. The sound of pattering autumn rain made Zhou Jing feel even more desolate. Maybe he couldn't stand the loneliness after all, so he turned on the TV in the living room.
It happened that the beginning of the latest episode of "Taiti Xu" was being broadcast at this time. Zhou Jing wanted to change the channel immediately but gave up after hesitating for a moment. At least it was related to the DPS company, so even if it contributed some ratings, it would be okay.
Suddenly the doorbell rang, which shocked Zhou Jingdun. He wondered, maybe he was planning to take measures against him overnight? Zhou Jing smiled bitterly and got up and opened the door. He never thought that Zhu Ziping was the only one outside.
"I know you haven't fallen asleep yet, and I can't sleep either. I want to find you." Zhu Ziping walked in happily, but when he saw the scene in the living room, he was shocked, "Xiao Zhou, what are you?"
"Haha, it's only a matter of time. Rather than someone else doing it for me, I might as well clean it up myself." Zhou Jing smiled faintly and sat back on the sofa. "Don't worry, boss, I didn't seal the box. You can get it checked anytime and anywhere."
Zhu Ziping was silent after hearing this. He also sat down on the sofa, and then unexpectedly picked up Zhou Jing's cigarette case, took out a cigarette and lit it. This made Zhou Jing stunned. You must know that Zhu Ziping has quit smoking for many years, even if the pressure is no longer
It was just a matter of putting it under his nose and taking a whiff. In his memory, Zhou Jing had never seen the other party smoke even one cigarette.
"Ahem." Sure enough, the smoke rose and Zhu Ziping was choked and coughed a few times, but then he took a few deep breaths and then said:
"You guessed it all?"
"Um."
"Then Xiao Zheng also knows?"
"I didn't plan on telling her."
"Very good, that shows that you have confidence in yourself, but why?" Zhu Ziping pointed at the cardboard boxes with his fingers and wanted to make a joke. Suddenly, his eyes tightened and he realized something, so that Zhu Ziping, who had always been calm, couldn't bear it for a moment.
Just blurt it out and ask,
"Xiao Zhou, do you plan to leave San Steel after this matter is over?"
"I" Zhou Jing opened his mouth in the face of Zhu Ziping's questioning eyes and wanted to say something, but after all he swallowed the words, he sighed and said, "I haven't thought about it yet."
"Have you not thought about it? So which one is this? Or do you want to use this method to resist the investigation?" Zhu Ziping's tone was unknowingly a little sinister.
"I didn't." Zhou Jing suddenly raised his head, his eyes instantly turned red and his voice became slightly hoarse, "I have a clear conscience."
Little did he know that as soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Ziping pinched off the cigarette butts in his hand and stood up solemnly, and then left angrily without saying a word under Zhou Jing's surprised eyes. Zhou Jing kept watching Zhu Ziping's figure disappear outside the door, and then he felt deeply
He lowered his head.
To be honest, the moment he guessed that he had been recalled to the country in an emergency, nominally to attend a meeting, but actually to be investigated by an inspection team, Zhou Jing's heart was deeply hurt.
It's not that he hasn't been reported and investigated in the past, even more than once, but for some reason, this time he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
That's why he packed up all his personal belongings like a ghost. Perhaps only in this way could he fully vent the strong sense of grievance and loss in his heart.
The TV in the living room is very lively. After editing, this episode of "Taiti Xu" is indeed informative and interesting. I believe the ratings will not be low.
But Zhou Jing had no time to do that, because Zhu Ziping's reaction made him wake up immediately. What he was doing was just acting like a child.
It was simply so immature that he chose to give up so easily that he could live up to the beliefs and dreams he insisted on. Zhou Jing couldn't help but secretly blame himself and regretted his impulsive behavior.
The result was that he didn't even notice that Zhu Ziping had quietly turned back. Not only that, there was no angry expression on Zhu Ziping's face at all, and he seemed to be carrying something in his hand.
"I said just now that I couldn't sleep. I know you like to drink. How about you have a drink with me and chat for a while?" Zhu Ziping raised the thing in his hand as he spoke.
Zhou Jing took a closer look, good guy, Wuliangye, if I remember correctly, it was a gift from Zhu Ziping, an old comrade in arms. Zhou Jing had tried hard to get it several times before, but he didn't expect that Zhu Ziping took the initiative to bring it out tonight.
In just a few minutes, Zhou Jing couldn't understand why Zhu Ziping's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees. Therefore, facing Zhu Ziping who was smiling, he didn't know what to do for a moment.
