Chapter 37: Annual meeting

In the snowy night, pedestrians speeded up their pace unconsciously and rushed home to meet their families. No one noticed the boys and girls hugging each other on the street.
Jibai struggled a bit, but he held him tighter.
Jibai finally gave up. She slowly raised her hand and grabbed the corner of Xie Sui's clothes. The black windbreaker had a very hard texture and wrinkled in her hand.
He smelled of menthol tobacco.
"Xie Sui, it's all right."
The corners of her eyes were slightly red, and her fine eyelashes were glued together with tears, looking pitiful.
He has a low voice: "Who is bullying you?"
Jibai looked up at him, his eyes were deep, and his truncated eyebrows smelled fierce.
She shook her head, sat back on the bench, carefully took out the evening dress, and showed it to Xie Sui: "The skirt is broken."
Xie Sui sat next to her, stretched out his hand to squint the skirt, and his expression was obviously unbelievable: "Just because of this torn skirt, are you sitting on the street crying on the 30th year?"
Ji Bai stubbornly snatched the cloth from his hand and muttered: "This is not a torn dress, this is the evening dress my grandma gave me."
Xie Sui really didn't understand the girl's thinking now. It's a big deal, and it's worth crying. He almost thought she had experienced some major event of life and death.
Xie Sui looked at the beautiful shining dress and said relaxedly: "If you break it, just make it up, don't shed tears about this kind of thing."
Her tears are precious, at least, to him, they are extremely precious.
"You don't understand." Jibai bit her lip: "I have been preparing for the annual meeting for a long time, and the skirt is broken, so I can't go."
"Must wear this? Can I change one?"
"I don't have a second evening dress that can be replaced." Jibai gently stroked the glittering gilt thread on the lace yarn, and said softly: "This is my only dress."
Xie Sui looked at the loss in her eyes, feeling very uncomfortable. He got up and packed up the skirt, and put it into the box: "Let's go."
Jibai looked at him in surprise: "Where to go?"
"Find a place to sew the skirt."
Jibai looked at the time of the phone and sighed: "It's too late."
Xie Sui extended his hand towards her: "It's not the last minute, everything is still too late."
Ji Bai looked down at his generous palm and patted it open gently, finally smiling at the corner of his mouth: "Hmm!"

Jibai followed Xie Sui through the tortuous alley.
The surrounding buildings are brightly lit, and occasionally you can hear the crackling firecrackers and the crisp laughter of children coming from the end of the alley.
"Xie Sui, where are you going?"
Xie Suibu stepped very far and walked fast. Jibai wore high heels with a dress and some of them couldn't keep up with him.
After walking for a while, he would stop and wait for her: "If you linger further, you will really be too late."
Jibai's feet were almost worn out, she touched her heels and chased Xie Zui obliquely.
Xie Sui realized that she was wearing high heels and her heels were rubbed red. So he instinctively reached out to hug her, and Jibai turned sideways: "What are you doing."
"What else can I do, take you away."
"Who wants you to hold." Jibai limped and continued walking: "I'm fine."
"It's still far, when will you go like this." Xie Sui looked at the time: "It's already six forty."
Time is tight, and the white feet are really painful. She hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then... you can carry me."
"Is it different?"
Xie Sui wanted to hug her again, and Jibai quickly dodged and drew away, anxious: "If you are unwilling to recite, I will go by myself."
"Yes, I'm back." Xie Sui squatted down helplessly: "Come on."
Jibai leaned on his shoulders and lay on his solid and tough back.
Xie Sui held her buttocks, easily lifted her up, and ran forward like enclaves along the way.
Although he was running, he strode very steadily, and Ji Bai lay on his back without feeling any bumps.
Her slender, white arms rested on his shoulders and folded around his neck.
Across the clothes, she can feel the heat and hardness of Xie Sui's body. His shoulders and neck are particularly wide, and his body is strong. Such a man can easily bring a sense of security to a woman.
Feeling that the girl was about to fall, Xie Sui stopped and supported her, holding her inner thigh firmly.
"You stay close to me." Xie Sui said: "Otherwise I will run and fall."
Jibai blushed secretly, his legs hooked tightly around his thin waist.
In the night sky ahead, fireworks exploded banging, illuminating the faces of the two.
Xie Sui raised his head in surprise: "Look."
"I saw it."
He raised his lips contentedly.
Soon, another cluster of fireworks rose up in the side sky.
"Look!"
"I saw it."
"Pretty."
"nice."
"I also think it's beautiful."
Jibai held the boy's neck and looked at the faint light in his eyes. She suspected that Xie Sui had never seen fireworks before, so she was so surprised.
"Do you like watching fireworks?"
"Normally." Xie Sui's answer seemed casual.
"Then why is it such a surprise, as if I have never seen it before."
Xie Sui glanced back at her: "I want you to see it."
Jibai is even more puzzled: "Then I haven't seen fireworks."
"I know you have seen it, who hasn't seen fireworks yet."
"So, why are you so surprised."
"Which one of your eyes saw me was pleasantly surprised."
"You just obviously..."
"Believe it or not, I will throw you out."
"..."
Jibai shut up, and she decided not to pay attention to the gangster who was always attacking her.
A larger cluster of fireworks rose up in the sky, bursting into several clusters of flowers, the colors were also exceptionally gorgeous.
"Xie Sui, look quickly."
Xie Sui was just told by Jibai. He deliberately lowered his head, holding back from looking, and muttered, "Who hasn't seen fireworks yet."
Jibai wanted to laugh a little, she raised Xie Sui's chin and said softly: "Look, I won't laugh at you."
His lower jaw was covered with a faint green stubble, and he was slightly stubborn, but Jibai felt quite comfortable, scraping it like a cat.
Xie Sui finally looked at the sky again, and there was light in his dark eyes.
In fact, he doesn't think fireworks are so rare, but the beauty that blooms at this moment, he really wants her to see...
Xie Sui stubbornly felt that all the beauty in this world should belong to her.
...
Soon, Xie Sui stopped in front of the Sanhe residential building where he lived and knocked gently on the unit door on the ground floor: "Auntie Fang, are you there?"
The door opened, and a woman about forty years old appeared in front of Jibai.
She was dressed plainly, wearing a plaid cotton dress and an apron in front of her.
Seeing Xie Sui, her expression brightened: "Xiao Sui, come in quickly, haven't eaten dinner yet, come in and eat together."
"Auntie Fang, I'm not going to eat anymore. I came to see you today for something."
Xie Sui didn't talk nonsense, and opened the gift skirt box in Jibai's hand: "My friend's skirt is broken. You are good at craftsmanship. Can you make it up? I'm sorry to interrupt you during the Chinese New Year today. I will pay you overtime?"
"Oh, what is the overtime pay? You pay for the emergency medical expenses of our old man. Don't say these things quickly, come in and sit down, let me look at this skirt."
Xie Sui pulled Jibai into the house. Jibai saw that there were several beautiful skirts hanging on the wall of the house, as well as suits and all kinds of formal attire. It seemed that it should be a professional cloth repair shop.
Aunt Fang took out the glasses and the sewing box from the room, and looked at the slippage of the dress.
"This skirt is beautifully made." The aunt looked at Jibai in surprise: "It's not cheap."
Seeing that she knew the goods, Jibai was relieved a lot, and asked her: "Can this make up?"
"It can be, but I don't dare to do it easily. This is a high-end dress."
Jibai waved his hands again and again: "Auntie, it doesn't matter, I don't mind how much I can make up, as long as I can wear it tonight."
"Is it urgent?"
"Ok."
Aunt Fang thought for a while, "Let me sew it for you so that you can wear it out tonight, but it can only be an emergency. If you really want to repair it completely, you have to go to a professional master."
Jibai said in surprise: "Thank you Auntie!"
Xie Sui said, "Auntie, you have to hurry, Xiaobai has to leave at eight."
"Fine, I will start work now, and I will definitely help your little girlfriend catch up with time."
"I'm not..."
She hadn't said what she explained. Aunt Fang did what she said. She put on the tailor's little leather apron and took her skirt into the workshop.
Ji Bai could only swallow half of his head back into his stomach.
It's not his girlfriend.
Xie Sui's thin lips pursed, and Ji Bai poked him in dissatisfaction. He squeezed a hard smile. Seeing this, his heart was quite dark and refreshing.
Aunt Fang's movements were quite professional, she found dark gold thread, and sewed the slippery place for Jibai firmly. From the outside, there was no abnormality in the skirt at all.
"Well, girl, go into the back room and try it."
Aunt Fang handed the skirt to Jibai, and took her to try the dress in a room with no one inside. Xie Sui followed in a humble manner, and was kicked out by Aunt Fang: "What are you doing, do you watch your girlfriend change clothes? "
Xie Sui scratched his head embarrassedly: "All right."
He just waited outside.
Ten minutes later, Jibai walked out of the room.
Xie Sui stood by the yard, rang the lighter, and was about to light the cigarette. He turned around and saw her.
The gilt gold dress decorated her slender waist, and the hem was layered with lace gauze fabric, with a micro-puff, inlaid with bright diamonds, and it was especially shining under the light.
Her charming fragrant shoulders resemble a hump, and her clavicle gully is deep, decorating her white and neck.
Aunt Fang combed her a beautiful bun, her thick black hair was pulled up, tied on the top of her head, and a few strands of fine hair dropped.
God bestowed her the most extravagant beauty, and she blended this beauty into her bones and blood, and her every move was stunning.
He seemed to see the brightest beam of light in his life.
Holding the fluffy skirt, Jibai met Xie Sui's deep gaze, and asked nervously, "How?"
The flame in Xie Sui's lighter was extinguished by the wind. He avoided his gaze, quickly took off the cigarette from his mouth and threw it in the dark.
He blushed.
"looks great."
For the first time in his life, someone stammered.
Jibai didn't notice the change in Xie Sui's expression. She looked at her skirt intently, turning it round and round: "I think it's all right. I can meet last year."
"Ok."
Jibai turned around and thanked the other aunt: "Auntie, thank you so much. I will give you how much."
"Oh, it's just a matter of hand. Xiao Sui helped me so much before. He saved the life of our old man. Since you are his little girlfriend, don't talk about money."
Jibai has not explained yet, Xie Sui has already pushed out his mountain bike parked under the tree, and said to her: "Get in the car and see you off."
"I've already troubled you a lot today, I'll take a taxi over."
"On the 30th, you go out and try a taxi."
"Uh."
Jibai thought about it for a while. Just walking along the way, it seemed that there were really no taxis carrying passengers on the street.
She could only hold the skirt and trot to Xie Sui's car: "That's it."
Xie Sui saw that her fair and slender arms were all exposed. At the moment, the cold wind was rustling, and the little girl's lips were purple with cold. He took off his coat without hesitation and wrapped it around her.
The cotton clothes brought the heat of his body, and immediately warmed her cold body. It was so warm that she could not even say politely. This clothes...so comfortable.
Jibai looked at his mountain bike: "There is no back seat here."
Xie Sui said of course: "Sit in front."
"..."
With goose feathers and snow floating in the night sky, Jibai was wrapped in Xie Sui's coat, looking tangledly at the pole in front of the mountain bike.
It's not that I can't sit, it's just... a bit strange.
He was wearing a thin black sweater, supported the faucet with one hand, and hung his other hand, ready to hold her in his arms at any time: "Come on."
Jibai lingered, without going over: "Is this... okay?"
Xie Sui saw the hesitation in her eyes, and said: "Now that I don't regret it, I can still rush home to watch the Spring Festival Gala."
Jibai looked down at the glamorous dress underneath him, no longer hesitating, holding the hem of the gauze skirt, and riding on Xie Sui's mountain bike.
After Xie Sui waited for her to sit firmly, she wrapped her hand around, steadily palmed the head of the car, stepped hard with her foot, and the mountain bike drove out.
There were not many vehicles and pedestrians on the road on New Year's Eve, and Xie Sui stepped on very quickly, racing her to her destination.
Jibai held a mobile phone map to navigate, and it showed that there were five kilometers left.
"Turn left and go up to the sky bridge."
"Go down the bridge to the right."
"There is a speed bump ahead, slow down."
......
As she drove past the speed bump, Jibai's body trembled. In fact, it was quite uncomfortable to sit on this pole. Her was sore.
"It will be here soon." Xie Sui speeded up as she seemed to perceive the girl's discomfort.
"Xie Sui, are you cold?"
"You feel it yourself."
Jibai's entire body was circled in his arms, behind him was his hot chest, which was tightly pressed against her back.
He obviously wears so little clothes, but he doesn't know why, his whole body is hot, like a boiler burning in his body.
Burning like this, Jibai didn't worry that he would be cold after taking off his clothes.
Xie Sui's protruding apple was leaning against the top of her head, and it would be bumped from time to time, hard.
He noticed that the girl seemed to be looking at him, the corners of her mouth raised, and she put her chin on her shoulders, approached her ears and asked softly: "Am I handsome?"
"..."
Jibai turned his head and looked straight ahead, no longer looking at him.
He approached her slightly, sniffing the scent of her body, not the smell of perfume or shampoo, but her unique breath. This breath... always made his blood surge and couldn't calm down.
From afar, you can see the bright neon lights of the towering Century Hotel.
The words "Annual Meeting of Jishi Group" scrolled on the LED screen of the towering building.
The annual meeting was arranged at the top-level Century Hotel in Jiangcheng. Many celebrities were invited to decorate the facade, and the entertainment media swarmed with them.
A red carpet was laid at the entrance of the Century Hotel, and the flashes squeaked and lit up endlessly.
Xie Sui parked the mountain bike across the road, Jibai jumped out of the car with her skirt, and then rubbed his numb buttocks.
Xie Sui smiled and pulled her hand away: "My little lady, pay attention to the image, okay."
"Oh!" Jibai said embarrassedly, sticking out his tongue: "I forgot, I am wearing a beautiful dress now."
Yes, she is wearing a beautiful dress, which embodies her unparalleled beauty.
Xie Sui's poor vocabulary can't describe how cute she is now. In short, her smile and action can make his heart beat faster.
"Thank you." Jibai thanked him sincerely: "Fortunately I met you today."
"Thanks to be implemented." Xie Sui pointed to his face: "Kiss Lao Tzu."
Jibai pouted her lips, so she wouldn't kiss him.
Seeing that she was unwilling, Xie Sui came over: "Then let me kiss you."
"Can you be more serious."
"I'm very serious."
Jibai took off his coat and changed it to Xie Sui: "Go away."
"When will it end?"
Ji Bai thought for a while: "I will probably wait until after the New Year's Eve at zero."
The boy nodded.
"It's quite cold outside, go back soon." After Jibai turned to leave, he suddenly stopped her: "Wait a minute."
"Ok?"
Xie Sui stretched out his hand and dropped it on her tightly tied hair on the temples, gently plucking off a few snowflakes.
Snow touched his warm fingertips and instantly melted.
Jibai greeted his dark and deep eyes, and thanking him at this moment was so gentle that he was not like himself.

The entrance of the star and the entrance of the company members are not in the same place, but Ji Fei has no idea about it. She stepped on high heels and wore a beautiful blue evening dress, stepped off Ji Mingzhi’s big bus and walked straight on. Red carpet of stars.
The entertainment reporters stopped to take pictures and looked at each other in confusion.
Fans whispered: "Who is this?"
"do not know."
"Did you go wrong?"
...
The host was also a little embarrassed, and quickly stopped Ji Fei Fei who greeted everyone: "Miss, did you go wrong?"
Ji Feifei looked around and found that many fans were holding neon cards with a declaration of support for their idols.
Fans whispered--
"Isn't she Ji Fei Fei?"
"Who?"
"It's the inspirational and prosperous white lotus."
"Ah, it's actually her, when did she debut in c position?"
"What's the point? Just like her hypocritical White Lotus, there are fans who are all black fans."
...
Ji Feifei realized that she had gone to the wrong set. She whispered "Sorry" in a low voice, and hurriedly left from the staff channel beside her face.
Her cheeks were flushed, and she cursed her father for being stupid and sent her to the entrance here.
Going around to the other side of the building, there are no media reporters and fans here, but the facade decoration is more luxurious. This is the main entrance of the Century Hotel. Group member directors and corporate partners pass through here.
The participants are all influential people, so the security work here is more stringent. Dozens of plainclothes security guards mingled in the crowd, always prepared to deal with emergencies.
Ji Fei Fei walked to the front door, and the two rows of concierges checked the invitation letters of the incoming guests one by one. Ji Fei took out Ji Bai's invitation letter and handed it to the concierge.
There was no photo on the invitation letter, and generally speaking, no one would cheat. The concierge looked at the invitation letter and invited her in.
At this time, Assistant Qin by the door saw Ji Feifei and asked curiously: "Miss Ji Feifei, why are you?"
Ji Feifei's expression changed when he saw Assistant Qin walking over, and said pretendingly, "Assistant Qin, I'm here to attend the annual meeting."
Assistant Qin asked in surprise: "You got the invitation letter from Miss Jibai, right?"
"What's the matter, Jibai is not feeling well and can't come anymore. She doesn't want to disappoint her grandma, so I beg me to attend the annual meeting for her. Do you have any comments?"
Assistant Qin said blankly: "In this case, I need to confirm with Miss Jibai."
Ji Feifei said coldly: "My dad's car is still parked outside. Would you like to check with my dad?"
Ji Feifei moved out of his father. At any rate, his father is also his grandmother's own son. Assistant Qin must show some face.
But he didn't want Assistant Qin to insist, "Miss Ji Feifei, you can't enter without an invitation letter."
"But Silence can't come."
"She can't come, it's her business, whether you can get in, it's another matter."
"Assistant Qin, don't go too far." Ji Feifei looked at him coldly, and said in a deep voice: "After all, you are just an employee of the Ji Group. I am grandma's granddaughter."
"Miss Jibai is also the granddaughter of the old lady. This invitation letter was written by the old lady to Miss Jibai. There is only one in the audience. Do you understand the weight of this letter?"
Ji Fei Fei bit her lower lip to death, her lips turned white, and jealousy was like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, entrenched in her heart.
A vicious smile hung from the corner of her mouth: "So what...she can't come."
As soon as Ji Fei Fei's voice fell, a clear female voice suddenly came from behind: "Sister, I may disappoint you."
