The stars do not shine [entertainment circle]

Because the man retracted his confession, the case went into a retrial again, and the date of the trial was postponed a lot.

The police station summoned Winnie again, and at the end, all the policemen were so angry that they couldn't speak.

According to Winnie, it is normal behavior to complain to her boyfriend that she thinks the business in the store is not good, and to express dislike for Qi Xing. compensation.

He knew that this matter was related to Winnie, but there was no evidence to prove that Winnie had instigated a crime, so even if she sent it to the procuratorate, it would be useless.

There is no reason to even sue her for civil compensation.

After hanging up the phone at the police station, Qi Xing sighed, this matter was like a fishbone stuck in his heart, it couldn't go up or down, and there was no result yet.

The store on the Cheongdam-dong side is about to resume business. She is researching new desserts to be launched at home. She is not particularly professional in desserts, but she likes to delve into them.

She stretched out her finger and scratched the tip of her nose, thinking that she should find a dessert class for further study.

Although the new products she launches as an amateur are also very popular, they are still a little bit worse.

What she was researching at this time was the improved version of the brownie cake, which she replaced with other low-calorie ingredients. This is also the specialty dessert in her shop: low-calorie.

Finally put the finished product in the refrigerator to set the shape, Qi Xing washed his hands, went to the bedroom and changed into a woolen coat, stepped on white sneakers and went out to the store to check how the preparations for the opening ceremony were going.

The store has been closed for a long time, and this time she reopened, she specially found a friend's company to plan a grand opening ceremony, invited several Internet celebrities through the company, and invited idols and actors to participate in the event through her personal circle, and even bought drafted.

Winnie's original intention was to make her fall into a slump, so she couldn't admit defeat, not only had to reopen the store, but also raised the store's popularity to a higher level!

She is not short of money, and she is willing to spend it. Winnie has no advantage in opening a shop. In the past, Qi Xing just thought that a tiger didn't need to care about a cat, but now she can't let the other party think that she is a sick tiger.

Seoul's temperature dropped for the first time since entering winter, the weather was gloomy, the meteorological station issued a blizzard forecast, Qi Xing was shivering from the cold as soon as he got in the car.

She has always hated winter. At this time of the year, she would invite friends to go on vacation in a warm place, and the trip to Spain that she had agreed with Jin Xi had never been able to come true.

Qi Xing had no choice but to start the car and go to Qingtan Cave. Jin Minmin and Song Xiu were busy hanging balloons and arranging flowers in the shop.

After the store was redecorated, the second floor was turned into a meeting place, with a large soft sofa and a whole wall of bookshelves, the entire second floor was covered with thick carpets, and a large low table made of stone customized by Qi Xing It is placed in front of the sofa, and an oversized curtain is hung on the opposite wall, which can also be used to watch movies.

Seeing her coming in, Jin Minmin said happily, "Sister, are you here?"

Qi Xing nodded, took off his coat and hung it in the dressing room, and then walked out: "How is it? Is there anything left to finish?"

"It's almost done. Now we only need to arrange the flowers on each table, and the last thing is to clean up."

"Let me come." Qi Xing rolled up his sleeves: "You just need to clean up. The carpet on the second floor needs to be cleaned carefully with a vacuum cleaner, understand?"

The two nodded and moved separately. Qi Xing put the flower materials on the table by the window, and then put the flowers together.

And the scene of her arranging flowers by the window happened to be photographed by a photographer who stood across the road for a long time before crossing the road and pushing the door into the shop.

When Qi Xing heard someone open the door, he stood up and said with a smile, "Sorry, our store is not open yet."

The photographer was a young man, holding a camera that was more expensive than a car in his hand, and explained with a smile: "I'm not here for coffee." He shook the camera in his hand: "I'm a street photographer, I just took a photo by accident. I found a photo of you, and I want to ask you, can I take a few more photos?"

"Me?" Qi Xing pointed to himself: "Can you show me the photo you just took?"

"Okay." The photographer opened the photo he just took. Although Qi Xing is not a professional, he also thinks the composition and lighting of this photo are very beautiful.

The photographer continued: "I don't charge for street photography, and I can edit the pictures and send them to you, is that okay?"

"Okay." Qi Xing agreed, "How do we shoot?"

"Just sit here and play with the flowers." The photographer was very happy to see her agreeing: "I'll go outside to shoot, you don't need to worry about the camera."

Qi Xing nodded, and sat back at the table to continue arranging flowers.

This photographer is very professional, and the photos that were captured next are very beautiful. The photographer himself said that these photos do not need to be edited, just a simple color correction is enough.

The photographer was a young man with a good personality. He had a pleasant chat with Qi Xing, and after a brief repair with the laptop he carried, he exchanged contact information and sent it to Qi Xing.

During the conversation, they also got to know each other's names, the photographer stared at the photos on the computer, and always felt that the name Qi Xing was familiar, and then remembered, isn't this the person who was rumored to have an affair with GD some time ago!

Qi Xing was looking at the photo when Shengli suddenly called, and she answered, "Brother?"

"Qi Xing, what are you doing?"

"Me?" Qi Xing smiled at the photographer, stood up and walked not far away and said, "I'm in the store, what's the matter, Brother Shengli?"

"It's like this, my friends and I are near Cheongdam-dong, and we want to find a place to chat..."

Qi Xing understood the meaning of victory, and said, "Come on brother, I'm fine."

After hanging up the phone, she walked back to her seat and said, "Sorry, I have a friend coming, may I buy you a cup of coffee?"

"No need!" The photographer stood up and refused with a smile: "If you have friends coming, I won't bother you. Thank you very much for your cooperation today!"

Qi Xing nodded, and after the people left, he went back to the bar, checked all the materials, and then went upstairs to tell Jin Minwen and Song Xiu to speed up the cleaning, and her friend was coming soon.

Because he didn't know how long it would take, Qi Xing quickly made a mille-feuille cake with the existing materials. The mille-feuille was only delivered this morning, and it only needed to whip the cream and put the fruit on it to refrigerate.

After about half an hour, Shengli arrived with his friends, both men and women, all young, Qi Xing smiled gently and said, "Brother Shengli, long time no see!"

"Long time no see." Shengli introduced a few friends to Qi Xing, and Qi Xing then took them up to the second floor and said as he walked, "Sorry bro, the store hasn't officially opened yet, and the coffee and desserts we can provide are not that good. There are too many, if you have anything you want to eat, you can tell me, and I will arrange the clerk to go out and buy it."

"No need." Shengli said, "The decoration of the store is very nice."

A group of people went up to the second floor, and Shengli once again started boasting in a business bragging mode, and then dragged Qi Xing aside: "Today is a blind date party, do you want to join us?"

"Blind date?" Qi Xing was extremely surprised, and shook his head directly: "I'd better not participate, bro."

"Do you have a boyfriend?" Shengli said with a smile, "Then I won't force you. You can take whatever you have in the store. You don't need to prepare anything."

"By the way, Qi Xing, Brother Long will come later, you can pick him up downstairs!"

"Oh." Qi Xing nodded, turned and went downstairs, told Jin Minwen to make enough coffee for the number of people, then took out the mille-feuille from the refrigerator and cut it up, asked Song Xiu to bring it up, and then continued to sit in front of the French window and play with her flowers .

It took about an hour for Quan Zhilong to arrive. Qi Xing was keeping accounts when he saw an extremely cool sports car parked in front of his car.

Quan Zhilong was covered tightly, but Qi Xing had just checked his various photos some time ago, and knew that Quan Zhilong's car was a sports car, so he stood up and looked at Quan Zhilong and his agent. Enter the door one after another.

Quan Zhilong hadn't contacted Qi Xing for a long time. When he opened the door, he saw Qi Xing wearing a white turtleneck sweater, walking towards him with a smile on his face: "Hello, brother."

He also said hello to the agent.

"Brother Shengli is upstairs." Qi Xing turned and walked towards the counter: "Brother, do you have anything to drink?"

Quan Zhilong leaned in front of the counter, watched Qi Xing's long hair loose, flying freely with his movements, with a faint fragrance, and smiled: "Ice American, two glasses."

Qi Xing nodded, motioning to Jin Minwen to help, and when he turned around, he saw Jin Minwen hiding in the changing room, screaming and bouncing silently.

Oh, right!Kim Minmin is still a fan of Quan Zhilong, I forgot to tell her in advance!

She had no choice but to help Quan Zhilong make two glasses of iced Americano by herself.

Quan Zhilong leaned against the counter, took a look at the decoration in the store, and then saw the painting he bought for Qi Xing not long ago.

He stood up straight and walked to the painting: "Why is it hanging here?" He looked around: "Can't you get the sun here?"

"It can't be exposed to the sun." Qi Xing turned around: "I specially chose the location so that it won't damage the painting."

Speaking of this, she remembered something, and asked by the way: "Does my brother know anyone who can restore paintings?"

"Restoring the painting? What's wrong?"

Qi Xing put two glasses of iced Americano on the tray, walked out of the counter and stood beside Quan Zhilong: "The original painting hanging here was scratched by a knife, it is a painting I like very much."

Quan Zhilong nodded: "I'll help you get in touch."

Qi Xing thanked him with a smile, and then the manager took two glasses of iced Americano and went upstairs with Quan Zhilong. After less than 5 minutes, Quan Zhilong came down by himself again.

"?" Qi Xing asked with a question mark on his face: "What's the matter?"

Quan Zhilong looked irritable: "Shengli didn't tell me what kind of blind date he was holding!"

Qi Xing laughed out loud, "Did you get tricked?"

"Almost." Quan Zhilong raised his hands and pulled his hair to put on his hat, and then sat opposite Qi Xing: "If I knew it was like this, I might as well go to work in the company."

Qi Xing laughed, got up and poured Quan Zhilong a cup of hot water, then lowered the electric curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and sat back on his seat.

Quan Zhilong put his elbows on the table, supported his head with one hand and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Sorting out the books."

Quan Zhilong nodded: "Is there any blank paper? Give me another pen."

Qi Xing took out a piece of A4 paper and handed it to Quan Zhilong, seeing him draw a picture on it after a while, she was unwittingly attracted attention: "Is this...a tree?"

"En." Quan Zhilong's stick figure is very good: "Towering tree."

"The painting is really good." Qi Xing said, "What is this, Xiao Hua?"

"Little daisy." Quan Zhilong didn't lift his head: "It's my favorite flower."

Qi Xing responded, Jin Minwen came over nervously, Qi Xing looked at her: "What's the matter?"

Jin Minwen smiled nervously, Qi Xing understood what she meant, and said, "My clerk is a fan of my brother, and I asked for the autographed album last time for her."

Quan Zhilong raised his head and said with a smile, "Hello, are you a VIP?"

Jin Minmin nodded frantically, but was still nervous and didn't know what to say.

Quan Zhilong smiled gently, signed the completed stick figure in his hand, and then gave it directly to Jin Minwen.

Jin Minmin's hands were trembling with joy, and finally said the first sentence: "Thank you! I will continue to support you and BB!" She said with a trembling voice: "I hope you will come back soon!"

Quan Zhilong smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for your support!"

Qi Xing thought of the interview about Quan Zhilong she had seen before, and she couldn't help being curious: "Brother, can I ask you a question? It's fine if you don't want to answer!"

"You ask." Quan Zhilong said with a dazzling smile, "Any questions will be answered."

Qi Xing felt that the question she was about to ask was too inappropriate, so she said, "Forget it, I won't ask any more."

Quan Zhilong's curiosity was aroused. When he was with a girl, no matter whether the other party was a senior or a junior, he would unconsciously take on a coquettish and coquettish tone: "Why don't you ask again? En ?”

Qi Xing became a little embarrassed because of his gentle coquettishness, so he could only say: "Is it because my brother has a girlfriend that he doesn't participate in the blind date?"

Quan Zhilong raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: "This is your problem?"

Qi Xing nodded.

Quan Zhilong looked at her big clear eyes, there was no temptation or ambiguity in them, just pure curiosity, he couldn't help smiling, raised his hand and patted her on the head: "I want to say that I have a girlfriend, is your next sentence just Who should I ask?"

"I won't ask." Qi Xing said, "This is my brother's privacy!"

Quan Zhilong laughed for a while, and then said: "I'm single, but I've never liked blind dates, so Shengli likes to do these things."

"Oh."

Just like this, chatting without saying a word, before it was night, Shengli also brought his friends downstairs, and invited Qi Xing and Quan Zhilong to have dinner together, Qi Xing was about to refuse, but Quan Zhilong said: "Qi Xing doesn't know you well, so where are you going?"

"What about you, brother?"

Quan Zhilong said impatiently: "I'm not going either." He said: "Take your friends and leave quickly, Qi Xing has to clean up and close the door."

Shengli looked at Qi Xing, then looked back at Quan Zhilong, with an expression of sudden understanding: "Ah! Okay! I understand! Let's go, let's go!"

Qi Xing watched Shengli leave: "Brother Shengli understands what?"

"I don't know either." Quan Zhilong knew at a glance that Shengli must be thinking wrong, and he didn't explain: "Let's go, let's have dinner together?"

Qi Xing refused after hearing the words: "My store will reopen soon, and there are still many things to be busy, so I won't eat."

"Alright." Quan Zhilong nodded: "Go home early."

Qi Xing responded, sent the person out of the store, and then called Jin Minwen and Song Xiu to do the cleaning together. Jin Minwen got Quan Zhilong's autograph, and he was full of energy, humming and mopping the floor, very happy!
