Chapter 434 I came to see you
Jiang Qing was busy and happy...
Song Tuantuan: "Grandma..."
"Don't call me, I'm busy. Just play by yourself for a while."
Song Tuantuan fell into the pile of clothes, pinching the pearls on the clothes and rolling around...
Xu Yi did not dare to neglect the person introduced by Master Lindong and arrived at the meeting place on time.
The location is in the small courtyard of Master Lindong’s house.
Under the parasol, Master Lindong brewed tea and lit incense in the yard.
She is a master of design and also a master of incense making. This incense was made by her using agarwood and some precious spices. She also gave a box to Xu Yi before.
But Xu Yi didn't have time, so he kept it at home and hid it like a treasure.
She was not a very romantic person, and she thought, what's the point of lighting incense without mosquitoes!
Sitting in the courtyard today, I personally felt the mental control that incense has over a person.
In just a moment, she felt refreshed, as if she was in a fairyland.
Chinese tea set, perfect morning tea.
The incense in the incense burner spreads, refreshing the heart, mixed with a faint tea fragrance, which has a unique charm.
The old lady was wearing an emerald green cheongsam, which was rare without a shawl. She was in good health and moved very quickly, without giving people any sense of procrastination, and moved very smoothly.
Xu Yi sat on the chair, took the cup of tea handed to him by Master Lindong, and was about to put it to his mouth.
"Smell it first...pour it in."
Xu Yi was stunned and had to pour out the tea in the cup. Master Lindong gave her a smelling container. She poured the tea from the cup and smelled the aroma. Then Master Lindong poured her another cup.
Drinking tea like this is a real pleasure. Xu Yi sat there comfortably. After a while, he heard the doorbell outside in the yard.
The nanny greeted him, and Xu Yi quickly stood up, preparing to greet the person who came in.
"Sit down, it's okay."
Master Lin Dong said something, and Xu Yi sat down, "Is it not okay for me to sit down?"
"Nothing wrong, they are all acquaintances."
After a while, a man in casual clothes came in. He looked quite young.
Yes, it is unlikely that the person who knows Director Sumi is an old man, he should be a young man.
But why does this young man look so familiar?
Zhou Mingchen recognized Xu Yi from a distance and was a little surprised, but he still walked over generously.
Xu Yi's head was buzzing and she felt unwell. Until Zhou Mingchen stood in front of her, she hadn't figured out how to greet him.
"Hello, Miss Xu."
"Do you know each other, Mingchen?"
Zhou Mingchen smiled, "Ms. Xu and I have met before at the Muse Competition.
"Long time no see, Mr. Zhou."
Xu Yi took the initiative to shake hands with Zhou Mingchen, with a very stiff expression on his face, but there was nothing he could do, that's what it was like to ask for help.
If she had known that they would meet again in this way so soon, she would not have said such decisive words. Now it's quite awkward.
"It's good that you've met. Sit down. I'll prepare some refreshments for you. You guys can chat first."
"You're welcome, Auntie."
Auntie? She was clearly a grandmother, but Zhou Mingchen called her auntie?
"master……"
"It's okay, just say whatever you want to say, Mingchen is not an outsider."
Master Lindong said this and went in to prepare tea and snacks.
The old lady lives a refined life and likes to do everything by herself, no wonder she is so thin.
But when she left, Xu Yi was the one who felt awkward. Xu Yi stood and said to Zhou Mingchen, "Please sit down, Mr. Zhou..."
He was completely different from the arrogant attitude he had during their previous meeting.
Not to mention Zhou Mingchen, Xu Yi himself felt like a clown.
"Sumi from Z magazine. I met her when she was studying abroad. She was just a poor student with nothing at that time."
"I see."
They had known each other for so long, so there must be some affinity between them, otherwise Master Lindong would not have helped her arrange a meeting with Zhou Mingchen.
"You and the master, you..."
"My mother and aunt are old friends. Every time I return to China, I will come to visit my aunt."
"That's it."
Xu Yi remembered, Qi Yu, Zhou Mingchen’s mother was Qi Yu. Qi Yu and Master Lin Dong did participate in some well-known competitions back then, but it was a long time ago and she didn’t pay much attention to it.
Qi Yu died in an accident very early, but Master Lin Dong’s glory continues to this day.
There’s a saying that goes, it’s better to live a long life than to have great abilities. It’s really sad to think about it.
"The threshold for cooperation with Z magazine is very high, but I will try my best."
Xu Yi let out a long sigh of relief, and even looked at Zhou Mingchen with a much better attitude.
After the previous incident, she had made up her mind not to have anything to do with Zhou Mingchen anymore. Plus Zhou Zhiyin's reminder, she had to be careful. But regarding the cooperation with Z magazine, she was afraid that only Zhou Mingchen could help her speak up.
Xu Yi picked up the teacup and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
"You're welcome. It was my aunt who asked me for help. Besides, we are friends."
"thank you so much."
Xu Yi held the teacup and gently clinked it with his. Zhou Mingchen smiled and said, "Miss Xu, I haven't wished you a happy wedding yet."
"My husband likes to do these things. In fact, we have been married for a long time and our children are already grown up."
"It shows that Mr. Song attaches great importance to his relationship with Miss Xu."
"I also wish Mr. Zhou to find his true love soon."
"Thank you."
Just like old friends who hadn't met for a long time and reminiscing about the past, they drank morning tea particularly happily, and both of them tacitly did not mention Zhou Minglan.
Zhou Minglan has been receiving reconstructive treatment abroad, but the scar on her face has not completely faded, forcing her to wear a mask when going out.
After leaving Lindong, Zhou Mingchen asked the driver to go downstairs of Z magazine.
From a poor student studying abroad in the past to the famous editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine in Shanghai, the transition is not that of an ordinary person, and Sumi is obviously also a powerful character, who stepped on others to get to where she is today.
"How come Mr. Zhou has time to meet me? Isn't he busy expanding the business?"
"I came by to see you."
Sumi laughed. Although she was already a woman in her thirties, she was one of the top figures in the fashion circle after all, so it was necessary for her to take care of herself.
She was wearing a yellow dress, bright and flamboyant, with a rare green watch on her wrist and an Australian white pearl necklace around her neck.
The curls spread out naturally, and on the index finger there was an emerald of the same color as the watch, sparkling with dazzling light.
Sumi has very fair skin, and such unpopular color combination is one of her means to highlight her unique taste. She loves to challenge this kind of novel combination... and pursues being different.
"Look at me, I don't look like..."
Sumi sat down and ordered a cup of coffee. She leaned back in her chair and looked at the man opposite her calmly. "You are the same as the last time I saw you. You haven't changed."
"The fashion editor of z magazine has changed a lot."
"Stop teasing me."
Su Mi covered her mouth and laughed, then looked at him, "Mingchen, I'm glad you can come to see me."
