Chapter 38 Public
After much deliberation, Ning Zhiqian called Lin Zhen anyway.
Lin Zhen's behavior was weird, but when he talked about Zhao Yuxin and the wedding, his eyes were full of love. Zhao Yuxin was annoying, but Lin Zhen bowed his head and begged her to take the cake order.
Most importantly, both Joe and his sister thought it was a great opportunity.
Ning Zhiqian has dreams, but she also knows what reality is like.She had to consider the high tuition fees and living expenses back then, so she couldn't be impulsive, and she left everything behind by saying "pursue your dream". Husband can make some snacks too," disdainful, and asked the family for money with a shy face.
The reality now is that Zhao Yuxin and Lin Zhen's wedding cake might be able to make a name for her.
Ning Zhiqian wanted to win this opportunity as much as possible. As for the knot in her heart that "the Queen Zhao cheated and hurt Chu Yi", she could only comfort herself with a reason in Chu Yi's voice that said she didn't mind: at least, she was the first The clients for this wedding cake are a couple in love.
When Lin Zhen gave the business card, she said that she was free anytime, but Ning Zhiqian called, but no one answered.
Ning Zhiqian looked at the phone that hung up automatically, feeling complicated, and hesitated for a moment before calling again.
About 40 seconds later, Lin Zhen picked it up, with a hoarse voice that seemed not to be sober, "Hello?"
"Excuse me, is this Lin Zhen?"
Lin Zhen coughed a few times, and finally regained her spirit and normal voice, "Yes! Who are you?"
"I'm Ning Zhiqian, the pastry chef I talked to you about."
"Hello, hello." Lin Zhen said quickly, "Would you like to help us make cakes?"
Ning Zhiqian made it clear in advance, "I hope to learn more about it before making a decision."
She still cared if Zhao Yinghou would dig a hole.
"Oh, yes." Lin Zhen didn't wait for her to ask questions, and reported the information to himself, "We want a four-layer cake, 20 inches, what else... I can't remember. You still want to know What?"
Ning Zhiqian listened patiently, and asked what she really wanted to ask, "Why did you invite me?"
"Because you are also gay, and your level is passable." Lin Zhen said straightforwardly, "Also, I was very touched by the way you and Mr. Chu went to the Civil Affairs Bureau today. Although you didn't say it, I can see that you and I I also want to get a marriage certificate from the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Ning Zhiqian was shocked by this brain power.
However, the real reason she went to the Civil Affairs Bureau was to help her sister.Lin Zhen was an outsider. She didn't want to talk about her sister's private affairs in front of outsiders, so she didn't correct the statement, "Oh, you went to the Civil Affairs Bureau today to get a certificate?"
"No," Lin Zhen said triumphantly, "I want to do something big."
Ning Zhiqian had an ominous premonition, "What's the big deal?"
"Collect evidence."
"evidence?"
Lin Zhen really burst out with shocking words, "I want to sue them! I am a legal citizen, and there is no rule that the same sex cannot receive a certificate. They not only blocked me, but also treated me with a bad attitude. Especially the security guard, he actually said that I Crazy? Oh, I'm not crazy, I'm fighting for my legal rights!"
Lin Zhen became more and more excited as he spoke, and almost broke his voice.
Ning Zhiqian was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.
Fortunately, Lin Zhen also realized her gaffe, cleared her throat and got back to the topic, "Cough, I digressed. Anyway, I think you are the most suitable person, please make us a cake!"
Ning Zhiqian rubbed the center of her brows, and asked another key point, "Zhao Yuxin really doesn't mind? You should know about her and Yiyi's past, right?"
"I know, it's time for the two of them to break up." Lin Zhen said eloquently, "How can there be a couple who doesn't see each other for half a year and only sends one message a week? If you don't like it, don't hang around. Can't we be safe?"
Ning Zhiqian became anxious, and immediately defended her daughter-in-law, "Then you can't do cheating! If you are wrong, you are wrong!"
"Well, we were wrong." Lin Zhen didn't argue with her, and said submissively, "Can I kneel down for you next time?"
"..."
Ning Zhiqian realized that she was digging a hole for herself: this matter was originally unclear.Zhao Yuxin fully mentioned the confrontation at the hotel that day, pointing out that Chu Yi also cheated.If she kept on thinking like this, she might injure [-] of herself in order to injure the enemy [-].
"Okay. I'll take this order." She really didn't want to be entangled, and planned to let it go. "How many guests are there? Tell me about the acceptable budget range and the style you like."
Lin Zhen answered carefully, hesitating and hesitating about the style she likes, "I also don't understand the style of the cake. You design first, can we give suggestions for revision?"
"Well, let's tell your story."
"story?"
"Understanding your stories can design and make a suitable wedding cake."
"Oh! I can't tell you now."
Ning Zhiqian's heart skipped a beat, "Why?"
"I don't know what to say or not to say, I have to ask Yu Xin." Lin Zhen's tone was very natural, as if he didn't care about the situation that he didn't have the freedom to speak, "I'll tell you after I ask."
"Okay, let's talk about it when the time comes." Ning Zhiqian didn't press the question, and while speaking politely, she already gave up hope on this list.
Hidden in this way, the possibility of a pit is even greater.
Lin Zhen lost all politeness, and said bluntly, "Then call me later, I'm so sleepy... sleep a little longer."
"Goodbye."
Ning Zhiqian glanced at the time approaching 5:[-] p.m., and couldn't figure out what Lin Zhen's arrangement of "calling the Civil Affairs Bureau in the morning and sleeping in the dark in the afternoon" meant.She hung up the phone, and when she turned around, she saw Chu Yi sitting on the sofa rubbing her shoulders.
Chu Yi kept staring at her who was on the phone on the balcony, her eyes met, and she stopped her tired movements immediately.
"Won't it hurt you?" Ning Zhiqian still remembered how Chu Yi shouted about her shoulder pain last night, and rushed over to care, "You shouldn't have hugged me just now."
Chu Yi stretched out her arms and hugged her, blurring the point, "I want to hug you."
"I'm talking about when I entered the door today..." Ning Zhiqian resisted Chu Yi who was about to kiss her, and said seriously, "Sudden force can easily hurt you."
Chu Yi nodded between her eyebrows, trying to shake off the frowning melancholy, "Changing the way next time?"
Ning Zhiqian was helpless, "Is that why you want to hug me?"
"Yeah." Chu Yi snorted softly, "You said I have no strength."
"I was joking."
Chu Yi didn't dwell on this topic, and let it go with a kiss, "I forgive you."
Ning Zhiqian got used to kissing and hugging at every turn, found a comfortable place in Chu Yi's arms and started talking about business, "I called Lin Zhen just now."
"and then?"
"She's still a little weird." Ning Zhiqian said, "I asked about their stories, but she actually had to discuss it with Zhao Yuxin before she could tell... Do you think they will make up stories to deceive me?"
"possible."
"They will beautify the cheating thing." Ning Zhiqian thought about it rather unpleasantly, "Oh, I didn't want to accept it at first, but Qiao and sister both agreed to make a list..."
Seeing her in such a predicament, Chu Yi sighed, "Qianqian, don't think of me too pitifully."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Zhao Yuxin and I were inseparable a year ago. She had a full schedule and couldn't see each other for a few months when she was on the set. I also had my own things to do, so I couldn't chase her all day. Gradually, we had nothing to say, It’s just under the name of girlfriend.”
"Then..." Ning Zhiqian always felt intimidated, "Then you can't cheat!"
Chu Yi was amused by her, "Why are you angrier than me?"
"Just angry." Ning Zhiqian pouted, "She treats you like this."
Chu Yi stroked her back and coaxed, "Don't be angry, be good."
"You really don't care?" Ning Zhiqian heard Chu Yiyun's calm tone, and wondered if she had made a fuss over a molehill, "She did something I'm sorry for you."
Chuy thought for a while, "Actually, I care."
Ning Zhiqian immediately gained confidence, "I knew it!"
"But..." Chu Yi pressed the excited girl back into her arms, stroked her head and smoothed her hair, "I hope you will be happier and don't feel embarrassed about my past."
Ning Zhiqian was stunned.She only thought that she was troubled by the conflict between ideal and reality, her sister, Joe and Chuy, but she never thought that Chuy would feel uncomfortable because of her embarrassment.
Hearing this, she felt that she couldn't handle it well, so she pursed her lips and raised her head to give Chuy a kiss on the cheek, "I'm sorry, I seem to have made you feel worse."
"Well, it's uncomfortable." Chu Yi was not affected by her sadness, she nodded her lips, "One more kiss?"
"..."
Ning Zhiqian was sure that Chu Yi was really not feeling bad.
When she didn't cooperate, Chu Yi came over by herself and played with her on the sofa.
Lin Zhen called quickly.
Chu Yi has long arms, and she reached out to grab the mobile phone on the coffee table, but she didn't want to directly use it as a humanoid stand for her.Ning Zhiqian had to tug at the hem of her clothes with one hand, and press Chu Yi's unruly left hand with the other, and answered the phone just like that, "Hello?"
"Master Ning." Lin Zhen likes to put a high hat on her as much as Zhao Yinghou, "I say hello."
"You said."
"Yu Xin and I met at an event a year ago. After the show, she didn't leave and was always looking for things. I helped her, and we chatted after coming and going. She felt that my movie was underestimated, and we I think she is suitable for more pure works, with the same views, and the more we talk, the more feelings we have."
It's a long story, but there is actually no specific content.
"What are you looking for?" Ning Zhiqian wanted to extract some elements that could be designed on the cake.
Lin Zhen's tone became strange, "Bracelet."
"What kind of bracelet?"
"Mr. Chu has the same style, you can ask her."
"..."
It turned out to be a couple bracelet.
Ning Zhiqian thought about the only couple's mug that she and Chu Yi had at her sister's house, so she ate the old vinegar, and gave Chu Yi beside her a glare.
Chu Yi felt wronged, let go of the hand wrapped around her waist, leaned on her shoulder and let out a pitiful moan.
Ning Zhiqian ignored her, got up and took the nearest pen and paper and wrote down the words "Couple Bracelet" forcefully.
"Do you have any questions?" Lin Zhen yawned unaware of the sour atmosphere around them.
"What did you dress up when you first met? How did you feel? What was the most impressive thing after dating? How did you propose?"
She was faintly angry, and asked a series of crackling questions.
"Why are you in such a hurry." Lin Zhen was baffled by the bombardment, "Are you going to talk so much? I can't make the decision alone. How about this, you make an appointment to meet with us and clarify the matter face to face."
"Okay." Ning Zhiqian was jealous at this time, and didn't want to hear so much about Chu Yi's predecessor and incumbent, "I can adjust my work, you can discuss with Zhao Yuxin to set a time."
"Okay." Lin Zhen could hear the displeasure in her words, and added, "Well, I didn't mean to annoy you by saying couple bracelets. I was also angry, so I threw away Yuxin's bracelet and said no. What is it like?"
"Throw it away?" Ning Zhiqian suddenly felt refreshed to find an ally, "It's okay, I won't add this element to the cake."
Lin Zhen laughed loudly, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome!"
They sang together, Chu Yiyuan quietly waited for the training, and accidentally laughed out loud when he heard this.
Ning Zhiqian hung up the phone, and the first thing she did was to settle the score with Chu Yi, "Why are you laughing!"
Chu Yi had a reason, "You look too cute, I can't bear it."
Ning Zhiqian knocked off the hand begging for a hug, "I'm not cute, I'm fierce."
"Yeah." Chu Yi followed her words, "It's super fierce."
Ning Zhiqian ignored people and put away the notebook she had just written.
Chu Yi stuck up, "Qianqian, I've already thrown away that couple's bracelet."
"Oh." Ning Zhiqian pretended to be indifferent.
"Qianqian..." Chu Yi was about to coax her, but when she looked down and saw the words on the notebook, she paused again, "Wait, the budget for the cake is only [-]?"
"Yes? This money is enough."
"Zhao Yuxin is the actress, and Lin Zhen is the rich second generation." Chu Yi disagreed, "Is that how much money they spent on the wedding cake?"
Ning Zhiqian was dumbfounded.
She only compared it with the price of the hotel and didn't think about it.Reminded by Chu Yiyi, she raised the standard of comparison to the level of VIP customers, and found that Zhao Yuxin and Lin Zhen's ordering such a cake really seemed shabby.
Ning Zhiqian guessed, "Yes. Maybe the cake is not important in their wedding?"
Chu Yi frowned directly, "Then why did you pick it up?"
"You're right." Ning Zhiqian still had too little experience, she just looked at Zhao Yinghou's fame and didn't pay attention to other things, "Sure enough, there are pitfalls."
Chu Yi made a decision, "I'll find someone to check it for you."
"Yes." Ning Zhiqian made a request, "Report the results directly to me. I don't want you to hear about your ex-girlfriend behind my back."
Chu Yi laughed, "Qianqian, so you are so jealous."
Ning Zhiqian pursed her lips and remained silent.
Chuy lowered her head and stamped on the corner of her lips, "It's sour."
"No way!" Ning Zhiqian was not convinced.
"Then I try again?"
Ning Zhiqian touched the place where she was kissed, and after recollecting the fleeting soft touch, she felt a little itchy, and decided that it would not be difficult for herself.
"Okay."
-
In order to find out what happened to Zhao Yuxin and Lin Zhen, Chu Yi sent Secretary Fang, a general.Secretary Fang is also very experienced in checking people. He collects rumors that seem to be true and false on the Internet, supplemented by information collected by offline detectives, and sorts out a report that is not low in credibility.
"Wait." Chu Yi prevented Secretary Fang from speaking so quickly, "Qianqian is coming up."
The corner of Secretary Fang's mouth twitched, "You can tell her."
"It's easier to listen together."
"In the process of conveying, you can make full use of your tongue skills and body language." Secretary Fang looked in the direction of the built-in bedroom, "The location is also very flexible, sofa, bed, bathroom..."
"Okay." Chu Yi was relieved to find that Secretary Fang actually followed her serious words and drove. She still kept in mind the agreement with Ning Zhiqian, "I know, but Qianqian doesn't want me to know about my ex-girlfriend behind her back." matter. You report to her directly later, and I don’t have to listen.”
Secretary Fang put away the documents, "Oh, it turns out that the wife is strict."
"..."
"You can just say it, what nonsense."
"..."
Chu Yi thought about how much salary increase would make Secretary Fang stop unnecessary complaints.
When the two of them were confronting each other, Ning Zhiqian came up and directly entered the door under the leadership of the girl at the front desk.
"Qianqian." Chu Yi went up to meet her, and immediately went to shake Ning Zhiqian's cold hand, "Here we come."
What she touched was warm and soft.
"I knew you would do this." Ning Zhiqian jumped up, covering her cheeks with her hands, "I warmed my hands in advance, be smart!"
Chu Yi smiled, and lightly scratched the tip of Ning Zhiqian's nose, "So smart."
"Cough cough."
Secretary Fang's untimely cough interrupted their gluey meeting.
"Secretary Fang, hello." No matter how many times, Ning Zhiqian still insisted on greeting politely, "Thank you for your investigation."
"It's not hard." Secretary Fang said, "You can call me by my name like your sister, Zihan."
Ning Zhiqian readily agreed, "Okay, you can also call me Qianqian."
"cough."
This time it was Chuy's turn to cough.
"Call it Zhiqian." Secretary Fang glanced at Chu Yi, "Your sister also said that calling Mr. Chu is too distant, and it would be better to call her names together."
Chu Yi thought that her sister-in-law would always be able to shorten the distance a lot if she didn't call her, so she happily accepted, "Yes."
They suddenly began to struggle with addressing, Ning Zhiqian nodded cooperatively but was not very interested, and asked the matter weakly, "That...Zihan, have you checked it out?"
"I found out." Secretary Fang asked, "Mr. Chu wants to listen?"
Chu Yi replied in seconds with her desire to survive, "I don't want to hear it."
After all, she was going to the built-in bedroom, pretending not to be interested.
"Hey!" Ning Zhiqian held her back, "Let's listen together."
"Really?"
"Well, we have to discuss it together."
Chuy just sat down.
They sat down and looked at Secretary Fang instead of acting like you and me.Secretary Fang opened the file and read the most important part, "Lin Zhen severed ties with her family, and the wedding guests invited were all netizens. Zhao Yuxin did not send invitations to those close to her. The venue was an unknown resort in the suburbs. Casually, showing impatience in front of planning many times."
"It means..." Ning Zhiqian showed concern, "This wedding is not taken seriously at all."
"No, Lin Zhen attaches great importance to it. She frequently contacts her relatives and friends, but relatives and friends are more concerned about the attitude of the Lin family and ignore her. She has already booked the venue, and she doesn't want to be empty, so she finds some like-minded people on the Internet to act as the venue. guests."
Ning Zhiqian's expression was even worse.
Chu Yi was not surprised that Zhao Yuxin would do a wedding to coax Lin Zhen, but in fact she didn't care at all. She was only worried that Ning Zhiqian would not be able to bear it, so she put her arms around her and comforted her softly, "Shouldn't you accept it?"
Ning Zhiqian didn't answer right away, and asked Secretary Fang, "Did Lin Zhen really go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to make trouble?"
"Well, I go every day." Secretary Fang turned to another page of information and showed her the photos, "If you run slowly, you may be detained."
Ning Zhiqian quietly looked at the crazy Lin Zhen running around in the photo.
Secretary Fang finished his report and left voluntarily.
"Qianqian?" There were only two people left, and Chu Yi was able to ask what was wrong, "What are you thinking?"
"I feel sorry for her." Ning Zhiqian took out her phone and dug out the information records, "She apologized to me yesterday, saying that Zhao Yuxin was not free and did not agree to her coming to see me, and hoped to say it on the phone. I didn't reply, she As if afraid of my repentance, I sent a lot of messages, both audio and text versions, explaining everything."
Chu Yi looked down at the dense one-way messages, feeling ironic.
Zhao Yuxin wanted to make it public with her, but she gave a cold face to another Lin Zhen who really loved her and wanted to announce it to the world.
"What are you going to do?" Chu Yi only allowed herself to be emotional for a second, then turned her thoughts back to Ning Zhiqian, "Do you want to make a cake?"
Ning Zhiqian shook her head, "Forget it, they don't really want to hold a wedding at all, so why should I bother."
Chuy touched her head, "There will be other opportunities."
"Yeah," Ning Zhiqian cheered up suddenly, "Yiyi, I saw the advertisement for the Yami Chocolate Contest today."
Chu Yi didn't expect Ning Zhiqian to recover so quickly that she didn't need her comfort.
"I heard that they will design a product inspired by the award-winning formula." She endured her depression that she was not as good as chocolate, and smiled. "It's worth participating."
Ning Zhiqian kept nodding, "Yes, the product will be promoted nationwide, and the story behind it will also be made into a promotional video."
"Then forget about the wedding cake and concentrate on preparing for the competition."
Ning Zhiqian made up her mind, "I'll call Lin Zhen now."
Chuy nodded with a smile.
Ning Zhiqian dialed Lin Zhen's number and turned on the speakerphone so that she could listen too.
When the phone was connected, Lin Zhen's crying voice rang through Chu Yi's office, "Hello?"
"Uh." Ning Zhiqian was dumbfounded, "Lin Zhen, are you okay?"
Lin Zhen smiled wryly, "It's okay, I just wanted to call you, the wedding is canceled, I'm sorry."
Ning Zhiqian and Chu Yi exchanged glances.
"Actually, I'm the only one who persists." Lin Zhen muttered to herself, "She doesn't care at all."
"Did she really say that? Maybe it's a bit of a misunderstanding..." Ning Zhiqian didn't know how to comfort her, and said dryly.
"It's not a misunderstanding." Lin Zhen interrupted Ning Zhiqian in a cold voice, "I'm not as good as Chu Yi, and she doesn't want to disclose it to me."
Chu Yi, who was also listening by the side, was unable to support her forehead: Was she shot while lying down?
Lin Zhen said again, "You don't need to make excuses for her. If you refuse to disclose it, you don't love her. There is nothing to say."
Ning Zhiqian fell silent.
Chu Yi felt that this remark seemed to scold her, so she kept quiet to keep herself safe.
"I'm sorry for wasting your time, goodbye." Lin Zhen said one more sentence and hung up the phone.
The call ended abruptly, and the office was once again filled with suffocating silence.
"There's no need to refuse." Ning Zhiqian took the initiative to say, "It's just right."
Chuy nodded, "Let's not talk about it, let's think about what to have for lunch."
"it is good."
They found the menu as usual, looked at each other and discussed together.When ordering, Secretary Fang walked in and brought them the leaflet of the chocolate contest, "The rules are on it."
Ning Zhiqian looked carefully, "The rules say, 'The story behind the chocolate is equally important, please impress the judges with your heart'."
“What are the stories of the previous award-winning works?”
Ning Zhiqian obviously checked the information, and said eloquently, "A lot, the first one is about the power of father's love, it tells the story of the author and his father, the second one is designed by a pair of good friends, and the third one is favorite person……"
Having said that, Ning Zhiqian glanced at Chu Yi.
Chewie smiled, "Why, want to use our story to do it?"
Ning Zhiqian nodded without hesitation.
"Well, do you like the publicity?"
