Dressed as a cannon fodder substitute for a beautiful president

Yu Xinyan and Yunfei tacitly took the initiative to take over the topic to maintain the atmosphere of the conversation, so that Shen Zhibing could adjust his mood.Qizheng was facing her, but from the moment she came over until now, Shen Zhibing only nodded to her at the beginning.

After that, she didn't see Qi Zheng much, which was very different from before.

This is a small banquet before the official start of the exhibition. It is mainly for the guests to get in touch with each other and get acquainted with each other. It is a rare social opportunity.Drinking some wine will help you get closer and more romantic.

Qizheng took a sip of the orange juice, and before she could swallow it, Yu Xinyan asked with a smile, "Little Qi, why do you still drink this kind of plaything?"

Before she could speak, Zhuang Muqing answered for her: "The day before yesterday she and Yun Shan had dinner with a partner, drank a lot, and almost vomited in the car in the end."

Li Yunshan complained about this as a misery, which made Zhuang Muqing laugh.

Shen Zhibing took a sip of wine silently, the corners of his mouth tightened even more.

Qizheng has already determined that she is in a bad mood, and she doesn't seem to be interested in the current chat topic.A person is thoughtful, not knowing what he is thinking.But looking at that look, it is by no means a happy thing.

In front of so many people, it is not easy to ask directly.I was also afraid that staring at her would cause embarrassment, so I could only participate in other people's conversations from time to time and look at her a few times.

"Mr. Zhuang, please come here."

The leader of the Art University wanted to introduce experts from the Haicheng Art Association to her. Zhuang Muqing winked at them helplessly: "I'm sorry, I'll come back before the official opening."

After she left, Yu Xinyan suddenly said to Yunfei: "I have something very important to tell you, follow me."

Afterwards, she couldn't help but drag Yun Fei away, and before leaving, she didn't forget to tell Qi Zheng: "Xiao Qi, please accompany Mr. Shen, and don't let those boring people come to strike up a conversation with her."

When there were only the two of them left, Shen Zhibing didn't change much from before, but he didn't drink much wine.Qizheng looked at her for a while, then sighed softly.

"What happened today?"

"pretty good."

"A person drank half a glass of wine in a dull mood, and agreed?"

Shen Zhibing remained silent and pursed his lips, feeling sore and uncomfortable.Just now, Zhuang Muqing's tacit and friendly behavior with Qi Zheng reminded her of the scene she saw in the workshop that day.She kept telling herself that she didn't want to force any result, but when the result might not be what she wanted, the loss and pain were still unbearable.

Qizheng took the wine away from her hand and went to exchange for a glass of grape juice.

"It's better to drink this."

Shen Zhibing didn't object, and gave her a half-resentment-like look, and took the cup.

After that, she sighed faintly: "Qizheng, are you so nice to everyone?"

"I'm not a Bodhisattva or a God. How can I have so much free time?"

She spoke very lightly and plainly, but Shen Zhibing still couldn't calm down.Qizheng's goodness has penetrated into her life silently, as if she didn't realize her thoughts at the beginning, but felt that whenever she was unhappy, being with Qizheng would make her happy.

At that time, she didn't know that she actually fell in love with her.Just now I saw Zhuang Muqing's expression and warmth in her eyes, and she subconsciously mentioned Qizheng many times, how similar she was to her original self.

They were all unknowingly attracted to Qizheng, and became more and more dependent on her.

The more Shen Zhibing thought about it, the more bitter he became.After such a long time, she didn't downplay Qizheng's concern because of the time, but instead became more and more annoyed by her hindsight.

Qizheng has never seen Shen Zhibing look so bad, even if she had a stomachache back then, it was better than now.

"If you're really uncomfortable, why don't you go back first? I'll explain it to Ah Moon later, she won't mind."

Shen Zhibing forced a smile, and rejected Qi Zheng's offer.She wanted to see how today's exhibition was, and also wanted to see if she had completely lost her chance.

Qizheng is not a person who catches others with both ends. If she really makes a decision, she will devote herself wholeheartedly.Shen Zhibing envied that person, but was also afraid that that person would not be himself in the end.

When she signed the contract that day, she saw the pen that Qizheng was carrying with her, which gave her great encouragement.Let the faint fire in her heart burn up, and it also made her eager, not wanting to be tortured by such anxiety again and again.

She wanted Qi Zheng to give a definite answer.

"Qizheng, after the exhibition is over, do you have time?"

Seeing her preoccupied look, Qizheng nodded and said, "Yes, I will come to you then."

At this time, someone came to greet them, but unexpectedly, it was not Shen Zhibing.

"Mr. Shen, several of us are very interested in Qizheng's projects. Do you mind if we temporarily borrow someone?"

When Shen Zhibing faced outsiders, his emotions were normal.

As soon as she heard that it was related to business, she naturally wouldn't stop it.

"Talk slowly."

Seeing Qizheng calmly standing together with several bosses, exchanging views on market prospects and industry development, Shen Zhibing couldn't hide his admiration and gratification in his eyes.

Yu Xinyan and Yunfei returned to her side and saw that she had changed drinks, but her mood still didn't improve, so she couldn't ask more questions.

The exhibition officially started, and Zhuang Muqing was naturally the protagonist today. Her enthusiasm and cheerfulness successfully pushed up the atmosphere of the scene in one fell swoop.Then, amazing works appeared in front of everyone one after another.

The finale exhibit was naturally placed in the most conspicuous place, and it also attracted the most people to stop.Shen Zhibing didn't go to join in the fun, and started to look at the exhibits on the far side, looking carefully one by one.

Zhuang Muqing is talented, bold and innovative.She has many cross-border works, which seem outrageous, but the final fusion effect can make people's eyes shine.She dabbles in photography, painting and sculpture, and her paintings and sculptures have become highly sought after in recent years.

Friends who bought her works at a friendly price in the early years laughed and said that they were purely doing good deeds back then, but they did not expect Ah Moon to make a fortune with them.

Shen Zhibing knew from the ability and aptitude she displayed when she occasionally came to discuss with him, that in time this person would have a place in the United States and even the world.Her eyes slowly stayed on each piece of work, and then slid over.

Maybe it's because she is sensitive, maybe she was also fascinated by art, and she has seen the shadow of Qi Zheng in many of her works.

None of the works resemble her, but elements related to her can be found in them.Shen Zhibing even saw the changes of Qizheng at different stages from the works of different periods, just like what Zhuang Muqing once described to her.

She saw Qizheng's life in the United States from the works, and also saw how Qizheng recovered from the depression of grief, then stood up strong, and then shined brightly.

When she walked to the exhibition area of ​​Zhuang Muqing's works after she came to Haicheng, Shen Zhibing's heart skipped a beat.The exhibits here show a completely different artistic conception, changing from Western abstract style to restrained oriental beauty.

This is more in line with Qizheng's temperament, and I can see more elements about Qizheng from it.Looking at it, the corners of Shen Zhibing's mouth couldn't help showing a hint of embarrassment, maybe Zhuang Muqing's mind began to change after coming to Haicheng.

In Haicheng, Qizheng is even more charming, who would escape her attraction?

Standing not far away, Yu Xinyan frowned and said to Yunfei: "This has almost become a Qizheng performance, and Old Shen may not be able to hold on."

Yunfei also had worry in her eyes, but Mr. Shen seemed to enjoy watching it and didn't want to leave.

"Let Mr. Shen handle it himself." All they could do was accompany them.

Qi Zheng's art appreciation level is not that high, so naturally she can't see anything special. Other people who came to the exhibition are not familiar with Qi Zheng, and will not associate her with the characteristics of the works.

Lin Muyun followed Lian Ao, walked around symbolically, and casually pointed to a few works: "These look pretty good, you can consider buying them back."

"These are marked not for sale, what are you buying?"

"What's wrong with the non-sale items? After the exhibition, I will bid privately. Are there still people who really have trouble with money? Besides, this kind of artists who have just become famous still need money to continue their creations and find a team to market them."

Lin Muyun has some taste, but she always equates art with money.The collections left at a friend's house in the past few years are now worth a lot in the market, especially Zhuang Muqing's works. She is not in a hurry to sell and continues to be optimistic.

She wanted to take the opportunity to stock up more, and sell them all at once in a few years, so that Lian's family could take a good look at their own investment vision.In the past few years, the life of a wealthy daughter-in-law has become increasingly embarrassing because she has never given birth to a child.The elders urged the temptation intentionally or unintentionally, and even her natal family began to suspect that she was ill.

She just wanted to sneer back at these people, you are the ones who are sick, urging others to have children one by one, making it seem like their lives will be complete if they have children.

Lian Ao walked around with her, finally completed the task, and justifiably got rid of her to chat with friends.Seeing that Shen Zhibing was nearby, Lin Muyun took the initiative to walk over.

"Mr. Shen is also interested in these works? Don't compete with me when the auction will be held later. I have long been interested in some works."

Shen Zhibing turned his head slowly, without any emotion, just said in a low voice: "Everyone depends on their own ability, not to mention grabbing."

Lin Muyun sneered and choked her: "You can buy things with money, but not people. You spend so much money on Qizheng, it doesn't mean she treats you very well."

Shen Zhibing frowned, his vigilance tinged with warning.

"Don't be so hostile to me. I'm just reminding you as someone who has been here. Don't think that Qizheng is a little sheep. If you give me some money, you can do whatever you want. Her obedient obedience at the beginning was nothing more than trying to let you relax, but she bit people. Not at all ambiguous."

Shen Zhibing didn't like her sudden approach, and said coldly: "Qizheng is not your turn to judge, you should take care of your own life."

Lin Muyun doesn't care about these things, half of the life of a wealthy daughter-in-law who is restrained now is thanks to Shen Zhibing, how can she not hate it.

Seeing that Shen Zhibing was about to leave, she said quietly: "If Qizheng knew about what happened between you and Lian Ao in those years, it must be wonderful."

Shen Zhibing stopped and looked at her coldly.A triumphant smile appeared on the corner of Lin Muyun's mouth, indeed Lian Ao was her weakness.

Unexpectedly, I heard her say: "If you don't mind your husband losing face, then I don't need to worry about anything because of my past experience. People can't stop moving forward just because they have gone wrong."

Although she always maintained a calm posture in front of Lin Muyun, Shen Zhibing's heart was not as calm as she appeared.When she officially saw the finale exhibit, her heart ached.

That face was not Qi Zheng's, but it made her think of her the first moment she saw it.

In these works, there is no Qizheng, but Qizheng is everywhere.Maybe even Zhuang Muqing didn't realize that so many elements of Qizheng have been incorporated into her creations.

After the auction was over, Shen Zhibing didn't stay any longer. Qizheng found her ahead of time, and seeing that she was leaving, she said, "I'll go with you."

She looked back at Zhuang Muqing who was surrounded by people, and said sadly, "Don't you have to wait for Moon?"

"She must be very busy today, so I won't make trouble." Qizheng didn't think that she would go to join in the excitement of the celebration banquet. Like other friends who came to join in the show, she should leave after the exhibition was over.

Shen Zhibing pursed his lips: "Then let's go."

Shen Zhibing directly asked the driver to drive the car to the top of the mountain, and the two of them barely spoke along the way.Qizheng observed her several times today, and saw that she seemed to be trapped by something.

When they got to the top of the mountain, they got off the car, and it was still the same scenery.

Shen Zhibing stood on the viewing platform with arms folded, lonely but unwilling.

Qizheng stood beside her, watched with her for a while, and then heard her say: "Qizheng, do you like today's exhibition?"

"This is not my exhibition, and I can't say whether I like it or not. But seeing my friend's success and recognition, of course I will be happy for Ah Moon."

Shen Zhibing lowered his head slightly, then raised his eyes to look at her: "You just regard Ah Moon as a friend?"

Qizheng nodded without any hesitation.

Shen Zhibing bit his lip, and followed the trend: "What about me? A friend too?"

Qizheng was taken aback for a moment, of course not, but it was a bit abrupt to say this answer directly.

It was just her hesitation that broke Shen Zhibing's heart even more.

She looked away, raised her chin, and tried to calm herself down.

"In these years, I thought I was making amends and redeeming. But recently I realized that I have been searching and waiting."

Qizheng felt that her mood was getting more and more out of order, and it was difficult to interrupt her.

"I like you, it's not empty words. Maybe I liked you a long time ago, but I didn't know it at the time. After you left, I was really surprised, and I really wanted to restore everything to the original, just like the past. But it's been a long time, see As you become better and better, I am even more reluctant to let go."

Shen Zhibing endured the pain in his heart and confessed his feelings.Maybe all she got in the end was an apologetic hug, but at least she fought for it.

"Qizheng, I like your past appearance, and I also like your current appearance. No matter how you change, you can always touch my heart. But I made a mistake after all. Today's situation is caused by myself, and I have no complaints."

She seems to be doing the final psychological construction, accumulating energy for the next blow.

In the end, she just smiled miserably: "I'm not a romantic person, and I didn't even know how to maintain a relationship a few years ago. But I am grateful that I once met you."

Her voice, at the end, had already begun to tremble, with a hint of choking.

If such an ending is decent enough, then she hopes to leave a perfect impression in Qi Zheng's heart.

After waiting for quite a while, before Qi Zheng could respond, Shen Zhibing's heart was instantly cold, and he sank bit by bit.

She let go of her hands weakly, hanging by her side.But there was another kind of temperature coming from her fingertips, strange and familiar, which made her shiver.

She lowered her head and saw Qizheng holding her hand slowly, and then she sighed slowly in her ear.

"You can change for me and do so many things for me, which is the greatest romance in itself."
