"Yes..." He narrowed his eyes and his voice was like a soft bubble, "I want you to see a better me..."
【For you, I want to become gentler and stronger.
More indestructible and calmer.
Just because I want to see the star in your eyes that will never go out.】
Feeling his breath tingling as if blowing against her ears, Chuxue was slightly shy: "That's really nice to say...how long did it take to make it up, hmm?"
"Really, I didn't make it up..."
"What a touching love story."
Jin Ting was about to continue talking when suddenly a kind and kind voice sounded from behind!
He was startled and turned around before he could hang up the phone. In front of him was an old woman, probably in her seventies. Although she was older, she still had a very good temperament. She wore a light green tweed suit and a pearl necklace.
Her gray hair was pulled into a bun, she was leaning on an ivory crutch, and her blue eyes were piercing.
It's Mrs. Jennifer.
Jin Ting was slightly stunned. He was so absorbed in talking on the phone just now, and the surroundings were a bit noisy that he didn't even notice that Mrs. Jennifer was walking towards him!
He subconsciously wanted to hang up the phone, but Mrs. Jennifer smiled softly and shook her head: "No need to hang up, you continue talking, it doesn't matter. I love seeing young people falling in love the most, that sweet feeling.
It makes my old bones seem a few years younger..."
"Madam, you are not old. No matter how you look, you are an elegant lady. Today's young generation, even the ladies, rarely have your temperament."
Chuxue was holding the phone and could hear Jin Ting's voice talking to people. He was really charming when he spoke French, and his voice was low and magnetic, which made Chuxue a little tipsy.
Moreover, she always liked the way he worked...
When he spoke to his subordinates, he was majestic and sharp, hitting the target with a single blow. When he spoke to her, he was gentle and sweet, as if he was about to melt. But when he spoke to this lady, his voice was neither humble nor arrogant. He did not deliberately try to please, but had a natural feeling.
His aristocratic bearing, I think this lady must be very important to him.
Chuxue held her breath. At this moment, she almost forgot that there was Cebu in the room, and just listened to the voice of her beloved man with all her heart...
When you love someone, you want to know every side of him, just like a child, never satisfied, greedy...
————————————————————————
Mrs. Jennifer smiled playfully, and her face with rose red lipstick not only did not look inconsistent with her age, but also had a sense of elegance: "Mr. Jin really knows how to talk. The lady on the other end of the phone must have been fascinated by your love words just now."
Yes, right?"
Jin Ting suddenly had a bold idea. He handed the phone to Mrs. Jennifer: "Madam, that's my girlfriend on the other end of the phone. She also likes your design. Do you want to have a chat with her?"
"Okay, I always like talking to young ladies." Mrs. Jennifer actually nodded in agreement.
Jin Ting smiled and said to Chu Xue on the other end of the phone: "Baby, this is Mrs. Jennifer, the chairman of Aibel. She has something to talk to you about. Please answer the phone."
Mrs. Jennifer stretched out her hand with an emerald ring and picked up the phone: "Hello, lovely lady."
Chuxue was surprised, she didn't expect Jin Ting to make such a move.
Of course she had heard of Mrs. Jennifer who loved Belle. She was a legendary woman and few people had the opportunity to talk to her. She quickly regained her composure and said, "Hello, madam."
"Miss, I want to ask you a question." Unexpectedly, Mrs. Jennifer had no intention of greeting and spoke directly and neatly.
Chuxue was surprised: "Ah? What's the problem? Please ask."
"I want to ask, do you think time stands still? Or does it flow?"
Chuxue had no idea that this well-known strong woman in the business world, who had been single-handedly supporting this nearly bankrupt old company and carrying it forward after her husband's early death, would ask such a philosopher-like question.
What does this mean? She thought quickly. Jin Ting must have gone to the reception just because of this lady. She had long noticed that Jin had not launched his own watch brand. It turned out that he wanted to cooperate with Ai Beier.
Jin Ting is indeed an ambitious man!
She had no time, so she could only speak based on her intuition:
"I think whether time stands still or flows depends on people's hearts. There is a Chinese poem that says that it is better to cry on the shoulder of your lover for one night than to hang out on a cliff for a thousand years.
I feel that under such circumstances, a thousand years may not be as long as one night, and one night can become eternity. Therefore, it does not matter whether time is static or flowing. What is important is people's mentality. Do you think so, madam?"
She hadn't spoken French for a long time, and it still took a lot of effort to translate the Chinese poems.
But fortunately, she was still fluent. At least Mrs. Jennifer understood it and gave a faint smile: "You are right...but I have a second question. Miss, can you answer it?"
"Madam, please ask." Chu Xue's palms were slightly sweaty.
What else is there to make things difficult for her?
"Some people say that time was originally eternal. It was humans who invented clocks that made time flow. It was because humans began to count time that time became more and more evanescent... People will be burdened by time.
Carrying the shackles of time, year after year, day after day, week after week, life slowly disappears, do you think this is the case?"
There was a bit of complexity in Mrs. Jennifer's voice, and even a little bit of sadness.
When Chuxue heard her voice like this, she suddenly remembered an anecdote she had seen in a magazine. It seemed to be that Mrs. Jennifer's husband was the son of a craftsman in the ancestral watchmaking industry, and she was born in a jewelry family.
Although he was more than ten years older than her, the two had a good relationship, and they worked together as husband and wife to slowly turn an old-fashioned clock workshop into a modern large enterprise.
After that, they introduced new ones and made exquisite designs one after another, which shocked the world. But time always plays tricks on the people who design it. When Mrs. Jennifer’s husband was fifty years old, he was diagnosed with incurable pneumonia because of working too hard.
disease, and he still has three months to live.
After reading the doctor's diagnosis, looking at the clock designs all over the room, and listening to the ticking sound of the clocks, Mrs. Jennifer fell into extreme despair. She didn't expect that she and her husband had been counting time for the world, but...
In the end, we have to succumb to the footsteps of time...
At that time, Mrs. Jennifer hoped to leave the company, not look at any clocks, and spend the last beautiful years with her husband. However, her husband said that he was born to make clocks and could not ignore the ticking sound of the clock, so
