Butterflies Fly Over Winter Chapter 58
byChapter 58 Splendid Bones
“Okay.”
Without hesitation, Chu Yiqi looked back at Xi Ai with a light color at the end of his eyes.
Xi Ai was dazed for a moment and then asked, “Can you tell me? What are you planning?”
The two questions didn’t seem to be that equivalent, but Chu Yiqi didn’t care and replied: “I’m planning… to solve some troubles, my own troubles.”
In fact, Chu Yiqi had always known Xi Ai’s thoughts. For example, at that time Mu Jin asked her: “Is it possible that no matter what kind of you you are, you will not be a burden to Xi Ai. Even Chu Rou will not be an obstacle to her heart.”
She believed it, believed it would be true forever.
No one can love more than Xi Ai.
But Chu Yiqi replied at that time: “But I care.”
Even after all this time, she still cared.
Chu Yiqi still couldn’t get over his own hurdle.
She just couldn’t accept that she had scratched Xi Ai after her emotions and defenses collapsed, so she left in a hurry, and the tip of the knife that stabbed Xi Ai was pointed towards her.
When Xi Ai’s condition stabilized, she still wanted to come back and stay with Xi Ai. Even if Xi Ai didn’t like her that much, there was nothing wrong with just being a friend and then gradually fading away after Xi Ai withdrew from the circle.
But Xi Ai said she wanted to start over, so Chu Yiqi began to hesitate again, wondering whether there would be a risk of recurrence.
So the best way to eliminate the root cause is to turn to Chu Rou as a breakthrough.
Xi Ai was still like this. She could see Chu Yiqi’s reticent avoidance, so she stopped asking in detail and told the part that Chu Yiqi was curious about.
“About half a year ago, Qin Qin broke up with his ex. They were a very noisy group of pure hate. They couldn’t let go and couldn’t talk about it. I know what happened to our old enemy.”
Chu Yiqi looked at Qin Siyao who was slightly tipsy after taking a sip with some subtlety, and then Xi Ai asked: “You are going to record the show starting tomorrow, right?”
Chu Yiqi nodded and said, “Is this your problem?”
“Yeah.”
Xi Ai answered so openly that Chu Yiqi always felt that there was something wrong, like a beautiful cat coming menacingly, thinking that she was going to be blackmailed, but the other party just nudged her palm lightly.
Chu Yiqi asked: “You can finish filming in early October, right?”
“Thank you Qin Qin for not being the last one to star in the film.”
Xi Ai seemed to want to say something else. Gu Yu’s name appeared on the phone screen on the table, so Xi Ai had to pick up the phone and walk out.
The night wind was a little far away, and Chu Yiqi heard Xi Ai’s voice. He was not impatient at all, but just said: “We will discuss it at the meeting tomorrow. Are you still working overtime on the planning?”
“Ask if there is anything you want to eat. Just ask quietly and I will pay for it personally.”
I don’t know what was said on the other side. Xi Ai smiled briefly, but it was only for a moment. Then she frowned slightly and said, “Wait a minute, the technical department has sent me the documents. I will connect with Xi Yuchuan later, and Nadia will attend the negotiation tomorrow.”
Director Qin had a good ear and heard the word “late” in the key words, so he quietly touched and said to Chu Yizhu: “How about you persuade her? If I faint again in my group, I will really be taken home and detained by my parents.”
“Again?” Chu Yiqi only heard what she cared about. In her impression, there was nothing about Xi Ai falling ill in the group.
Qin Siyao was stunned for a moment, and finally realized that he had let something slip.
But who knew that the news about Xi Ai could be so suppressed that even Chu Yiqi didn’t get through to it.
And Xi Ai didn’t give her hush money.
Besides, no matter what a family talks about, it’s up to them. At worst, they will get the best assist in the game.
So Qin Siyao struggled and told Chu Yiqi: “The year before last, when Mu Jin and his father were completely against each other, Xi Ai wanted to be a white knight, and each of them was busier than the other.”
“When I found out, Xi Ai had already joined the team, so I couldn’t delay it completely. Anyway, she ended up in the hospital. Miss Xi tried to hide it, but she was thrown off by the old man who was doing routine physical examinations. After that, the old man got up again and took on some of the burden.”
Chu Yiqi pursed his lips and looked outside the curtain. He could only vaguely see some outlines. He took the coffee and smiled like a warm breeze passing by.
Xi Ai seemed to sense something, and the moment she raised her eyes, she met Chu Yi’s eyes that she hoped not to look back.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yiqi didn’t miss her, so Xi Ai could read concern and inquiry in her watery eyes.
After shaking his head for a moment, Chu Yiqi looked at the coffee in Xi Ai’s hand and knew that this meant no good.
Xi Ai came back quickly and explained: “A project was a little unexpected, and I couldn’t stay idle.”
“You…”
Chu Yiqi wanted to say something, but Xi Ai took a chopstick of stewed eel and gave it to Chu Yiqi, saying, “You are busy with your work, I will take care of it, okay?”
Xi Ai said this as if she meant something and glanced at Qin Si Yao. Qin Si Yao looked at him calmly, without any psychological burden. Xi Ai had no choice but to let it go and put away the bad premonition in her heart.
Chu Yiqi was noncommittal. Who believed Xi Ai’s words?
Especially what she said about being interested in herself.
“Can you treat yourself a little bit?”
“Okay.”
…
Next to Xi Ai was the second assistant. Xu Zhaoshi picked up the phone several times and looked at Xi Ai again, but Xi Ai just looked at her to indicate to wait.
So Xu Zhaoshi first listened to the discussion of several people on the opposite side and wrote down the key points.
The person who acted with Xi Ai was considered a newcomer, but she could not achieve the effect that Qin Si Yao wanted. Xi Ai called out, handed over a glass of warm water, and led the person to find his state.
“It was very cold in Pingcheng that year, but there was no snow. I was waiting backstage, waiting for the senior sister to come back, but they said that the senior sister could not come, so I took over the gorgeous clothes.”
“I thought it was a piece of brocade, a feathered coat that I walked out of the darkness with, but when I walked up, I saw that there was blood under the shadow.”
Xi Ai’s voice at this time was very soft and slow, which unknowingly led people to become involved in the drama and become the actors in the play.
“I saw Senior Sister lying on the stage, dressed in plain clothes. I finally saw clearly that the dirt and decay covered her body.”
“But my husband said that you must finish your performance when you go on stage. But my senior sister said that the inheritance cannot be broken.”
“What else can I do? Then just act, with this body of bones, just think that I am living for them.”
…
Qin Si Yao finally made the decision, and Xi Ai hurriedly put on her thin coat and left. The rival actor wanted to say something, but Xi Ai just smiled and passed by. When the other party came back to his senses, the lotus root powder on his hand was very gentle, and the unstoppable warmth of the white porcelain was transmitted to him.
Xi Ai wore a headset and looked at her from a distance, which was comforting.
The people across from them probably hadn’t had a good rest, and their faces looked a little bad. Xi Ai moved her fingertips slightly, breaking the silence.
“Sorry, what did Yin Lan say?”
Nadia took off her glasses and threw them on the table, imitating Schneider’s tone: “Your request will increase the cost by twenty points, which is enough to make our stock price fall through the floor.”
“Their CFO said,” Xi Yuchuan tapped his fingertips on the table, “If the original pricing is maintained, they will choose to terminate the Navia project.”
Xi Ai smiled, unable to distinguish her emotions, and said, “Let’s meet and connect tomorrow.”
Xi Ai turned off the video and just received the message from Chu Yiqi.
The conversation continued with several exchanges of checking and revising songs, but this time Chu Yiqi sent a picture.
She must have been recording a program, and Xi Ai saw Huaiyang cuisine mixed with Hunan, Cantonese, and Sichuan cuisine on the table.
A hand gestured “yeah” in the lower left corner of the screen.
The corners of Xi Ai’s mouth curled up a little.
How could he not understand Chu Yiqi’s subtle hint?
It’s just a roundabout way to remind myself that it’s dinner time.
Xi Ai then said, “I’m on my way home. Guess who I met today.”
Chu Yiqi met quickly, but changed the topic: “Guess who the hidden guest is today. Prompt word: I competed with you.”
While Xi Ai was thinking, Chu Yiqi had already sent another sentence: “Narrow down the scope, is it something we have communicated with before?”
“You praised me.”
Chu Yiqi wondered why this was a bit strange.
After giving my name, Xi Ai happened to catch up and said, “Is it Wenxi?”
Chu Yiqi sent out an emoticon, which collided with Xi Ai’s emoticon.
All cats nodded.
Really, guessing it right once, there is no sense of experience at all.
After Chu Yiqi put away the phone, Wen Xi blinked and came over to ask her, “Are you chatting with Xi Ai?”
“Well, they just sent me the new words.”
Xi Ai put down her cell phone and picked up the call. She glanced at the clear road and said, “Oh, oh, oh, it’s a small peak.”
“Really?” Mr. Xi had something in his words.
Xi Ai pretended that she didn’t understand the meaning at all and kept saying “Yeah, yeah, yeah.”
Mr. Xi sneered and said, “Really? I came back from Chashan and saw a car that looked like yours.”
Xi Ai took a breath, turned her head slowly, very slowly, and saw her grandfather’s car.
An extremely low-key color, if you ignore the Rolls-Royce logo.
“Really? Did you see it wrong?”
Xi Ai didn’t have to go here, but she went back first after sending Xu Zhaoshi off.
“Can you drive faster and don’t drive at the lowest speed?”
Xi Ai gave up quickly and said, “Okay.” Xi Ai said softly, “Can you go a little faster?””
The two of them returned to the house one after another. Xi Ai jumped out of the car and started to pretend to be good. She held her hand in the old man’s hand and said, “Oh, grandpa, it was hard to meet Uncle Shi and the others today.”
The old man snorted and said, “You should go and learn broadcasting and hosting.”
“?”
“I have a strange feeling right now when I hear you speak.”
“.”
Xi Ai got up early the next morning, made breakfast, warmed it up, and went to the company.
“I still reserve the opinion of making the code open source.”
On the sofa, Mu Jin adjusted his glasses – he only wore them when working.
Mu now said: “Yeah.”
“Just um, let me tell you, I will feel too quiet if you do this and mention the meeting with that person this morning.”
“Just tell me, will you go to see Isaac later?”
Xi Ai shut up immediately: “Did I say anything?No.”
“Do you want to exchange the compensation for the technical leak into investment shares?”
“Everything is put to good use.”
Mu Jin smiled: “You are really…”
Don’t let yourself suffer any loss.
Mu Xin is also involved in this project, although the proportion is not high.
In the early stages of the project, Xi Ai had to give up profits because of the other party’s patent. It was rare that she had to make money back when she had the leverage.
“He’s going to make the first move.”
Text slid across the cold white screen, and a few words of English came from the headset.
Xi Ai passed the information to Nadia in the middle of the night yesterday. Due to the time difference between Schneider and Nadia, Nadia had just gotten off the plane, but she still had the upper hand in the conversation.
“The technician you photographed copied the process parameters. This gentleman returned to the D.A area last week. Three days ago, this technology appeared in the patent application report of a certain technology startup in G state.As for that gentleman, has he lost contact?”
A four-letter English word was swallowed with great frustration after the first sound, and the voice said: “You have been waiting for a long time, is it intentional?”
“It’s not a good idea to rake in the dust. We have a complete chain of evidence.”
“This damn project…”
“Dear, if this damn project is terminated, the demurrage fee will be worth 100,000 euros. Of course, with the tariff increase next month, your energy transformation is still 19% short of it. Apart from us, you will not meet anyone else who can provide this technology.”
Xi Ai opened the microphone: “For 53% of the equity, I want 16% of the medical device channels in his hands.”
Nadia couldn’t complain in real time, so Xi Yuchuan immediately privately chatted with Xi Ai: “My hands are a bit dark, sister, do you think I know your virtue?”
Xi Ai lowered her eyes and glanced at the message, then at the top dialog box, and then said nonchalantly: “Ask me, sister Qi just reminded me that I need to have breakfast.”
“…”
Mu now raised his eyelids, glanced at Xi Ai, and continued to sort out work emails.
