The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 116
You can't do two things with one mind.Qijiang was busy thinking about how to clarify the misunderstanding with Zhu Juanjuan, his attention and reaction were not as good as before, and it was inevitable that he couldn't turn his head around, and this elder brother who was somewhat wealthy got the upper hand.

Zhang Xiaofa wanted to help, but considering his status, it's better not to interrupt hastily, lest the other party see something else.One had a blank head, the other couldn't speak, and the two brothers lost the initiative to speak.

Apparently Zhu Juanjuan's brother wanted to use Qijiang's words, but seeing that he didn't say a word, he broke the silence again.

"You specially chose to come to the door when your father was away. You were smart enough. You were lucky in September, and there were only my mother and sister at home. You must have never dreamed that I would come to welcome guests today."

In order to test his depth, Qijiang deliberately put on a tone of admiration, and looked at him with admiration:
"Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. Aren't you the elder brother who often has a bunch of reporters chasing after you to interview? My father often praises you for having a bright future."

Everyone loves to hear compliments.Even seasoned veterans can sometimes find it difficult to resist sugar-coated bullets, let alone young people who are new to politics.

The other party's expression instantly became a bit smug, but he said lightly and modestly: "I'm sorry, my qualifications are far inferior to those of my two elder brothers, they are the best of their generation."

Qijiang judged with confidence based on the information obtained earlier: the one in front of her is her third brother.

He couldn't help sighing in his heart: Even the third child of the Zhu family is nearly five years older than himself, so it can only be said that Mr. Zhu really started a family too early.

In fact, Zhu Juanjuan's eldest brother is nearly [-] years old and has long been recognized as a rising star in the political arena, while her second brother has also made a name for himself in the government department.

The third brother is the latest to make his debut. This year is his third year of work. He has just taken up a small leadership position. He is not as popular as the first two, but he is also eager to be recognized.Qijiang's words undoubtedly gave him a sense of vanity being satisfied.

The other party finally let go of his airs and introduced himself simply: "I am Zhu Xingyuan, ranked third."

He extended his hand friendly: "I'm Gu Qijiang, please give me your advice."

After Zhu Xingyuan shook hands with him, he looked at Zhang Xiaofa next to him with great interest, "This little brother has very delicate features, could it be the legendary Gu Qilan?"

Zhang Xiaofa quickly denied: "No, I came with him...the driver."

Zhu Xingyuan felt unbelievable: the image and temperament are too far from the driver, he must be hiding something.

Zhang Xiaofa saw his suspicion, so he walked up to the sentinel openly: "Please testify for me, did I drive Young Master Qijiang here just now, and reversed the car all the way?"

The sentries replied in unison: "Third young master, this kid is indeed a driver. We all saw him driving around with our own eyes, and his skills are quite good."

Zhu Xingyuan saw that the two of them were not dressed in the same class, and there were obvious distinctions between nobles and commoners, so he stopped asking.

Qijiang secretly admires his younger brother's wit and ability to adapt to changing situations.Now that the younger brother's identity has not been found out, it has passed another level, the most important thing right now is to see Zhu Juanjuan, so that he can go back as soon as possible, nothing else is important.

Many times, when we face strangers who don't know the details and seem powerful, we will be more or less intimidated by the other person's superficial aura.

In fact, these people are also afraid of being peeked into the secrets of their hearts, especially some things that they try to hide...

When Zhu Xingyuan first met Qijiang, under his calm appearance, there was an uneasy heart hidden.

Except for the long-term training to tan the skin into wheat, Qi Jiang and his brother look almost exactly the same. At first glance, Zhu Xingyuan mistakenly thought it was Gu Qiming, thinking that he was here to settle accounts and blackmail. As the questioning deepened, he gradually dispelled it. doubt.

The scars in his memory have been uncovered. Not long ago, he was almost caught by the paparazzi of the Republic of China version, and his reputation was discredited.

He has been in a depressive working environment for a long time, and his father is very strict, so he has developed a rebellious mentality over time.

In the past two months, his life has quietly changed.

Every time he gets off work, he often calls home, saying that he has to work overtime and won't come back to eat and sleep.This excuse is very clever, because he will let people see the bed in the office, and the paper bag containing the supper, leaving a good impression of working all night.

In fact, he would go to the dance hall from eight to ten at night, and there was a dancer named Chrissy waiting there.

Chris is of Chinese-English heritage, her gray-blue eyes and flowing blond hair make her highly sought after.If you want to dance with her, you must make an appointment in advance, and you have to give the dance hall owner a favor.

He has money; he also has status.

But the former can go to the ballroom openly, but the latter needs to hide it as much as possible.

As a result, every time he went to the dance hall, he was as nervous as going to war: not only did he need to disguise himself, but he also had to watch out for anyone following him.However, for the joy of time with her, he can take this risk again and again.

In his eyes, Chris is like the angel in the murals of the cathedral in Dongjiaominxiang, making people want to be close.

He really likes this girl who can speak fluent Chinese.

She had told him that her father was a missionary and her mother was a parishioner, both dead.In order to survive, she was introduced to the largest ballroom in Peking when she was just 13 years old, and she came into contact with the complicated adult world.

Zhu Xingyuan sympathized with her and gave her a lot of money every time, but he couldn't give her a promise for the future.

He knew that even if his father died, he would not agree to marry her into the family. His future wife was destined to be branded as a political marriage just like the women from the two elder brothers' families.

Half a month ago, it was the 14th birthday of Chris, and he specially brought a gift to find her.Both of them were very happy, and they danced far longer than usual, which annoyed some waiting guests, including Gu Qimin.

In order not to be recognized by others, he always wears sunglasses and puts on two fake mustaches.Difficult to recognize even with acquaintances.

Qi Min didn't know his identity, so he rushed over to fight him. Chris ran away screaming, leaving them wrestling.

During the fight, Qi Ming took out the iron rod hidden in his suit, which made it difficult for him to parry.

The sunglasses fell off, the beard fell off, and to make matters worse, someone in the crowd started whispering.

"It looks familiar, where may I have seen it?"

"Just look back at old newspapers and you'll know."

"It's a good clue. It's been a long time since our newspaper published such sensational gossip."

"Don't miss out!"

Zhu Xingyuan's head buzzed, he took off his coat and covered his head, and ran out of the door desperately, while those difficult tabloid reporters swarmed after him, so he didn't dare to go in when he passed by the office several times, bearing the burden of humiliation Lead them around in circles...

If it wasn't for a weird serial car accident on the road ahead that attracted these reporters, he still doesn't know when he would run away.

Later, he asked the owner of the ballroom and found out who Qi Ming was; he also gave up on Chris, because she didn't really love him.

The money spent is paid for tuition.It's just that he kept holding back that breath, and today he planned to vent it on Qi Jiang.
