Chapter 379: No one in the country can spare me
The shores of the Persian Gulf.
The sky gradually darkened, and the lanterns began to light up.
Across the sea, on the other side are the towering modern buildings in Doha, like a magical world of cyberpunk.
Nie Fei contacted a "Persian restaurant" on the beach, and Xu Chen drove everyone there in the big black Range Rover.
After playing all afternoon, they were obviously a little tired. When the girls got in the car, they languished in the back row.
Xu Chen turned his head and looked at the passenger seat. Xie Bingran's big eyes were crystal clear, reflecting the gorgeous lights of the city.
She turned to look at Xu Chen and just smiled.
Xu Chen didn't speak, but Xie Bingran could tell that he was probably asking "Are you hungry?"
When did you start falling in love with this boy?
Confused and confused.
There is no exact moment or scene.
But being "fed" by him as a deskmate must be an indispensable part of it.
So in the following years, whenever I felt a little hungry, I would miss him.
……
Xie Bingran's phone suddenly vibrated, and she took it out and took a look.
"Who is it?" Xu Chen couldn't help but ask.
"Director Cheng, asked me to report the itinerary." Xie Bingran said while replying to the message.
Xu Chen thought for a while:
"Looking for a place at night, I have to buy a souvenir for Director Cheng.
Coach Cheng Hong is still very nice and helped a lot...
And your head coach Sun Guidance, I also need to buy something to express my gratitude. ”
Xu Chen was a little worried again, not knowing what to buy.
But he immediately thought that with Nie Fei and Wu Feifei here, they should be able to give reliable "guidance".
"I have been looking for an opportunity to invite Director Cheng to have a meal!
Let’s go back to Shanghai…”
Xu Chen said with a smile.
Xie Bingran:
"Then you call Amy..."
Xu Chen: "Huh?"
……
He was stunned for a moment and then understood.
Coach Cheng Hong's love for Sun Amy is also blatant.
While filming in Northwest China, Cheng Hong clung to Amy Sun whenever she had the chance.
Director Cheng, who was usually fierce, looked obedient and obedient in front of Teacher Amy.
……
……
This Persian restaurant called "Parisa" is located in the traditional old town of Doha.
Looking up and seeing the gorgeous and exotic facade, Wu Feifei sighed:
“Sister Fei really knows how to choose places!”
The large carved wooden door is inlaid with complex and fine gold and silver thread patterns.
Stepping in, you feel like you have entered the world of "One Thousand and One Nights".
The high-hanging crystal chandelier casts a soft and dreamy light, reflecting the complex Persian patterns on the dome and walls.
The soles of my feet felt soft to the touch, and they were actually covered with carpet.
It is embroidered with complicated patterns of deep red and dark green, and if you look closely, you can see exotic flowers and vines...
Several little girls were so fresh that they couldn't help but take out their cameras and cell phones to take pictures.
Under the guidance of an Arab lady, several people arrived at the semi-outdoor rooftop private room on the second floor.
Rectangular wooden table, exquisite silver tableware, ceramic dinner plates.
The flickering candlelight and the sea breeze blowing from the Persian Gulf.
……
Naturally, I leave the ordering to Sister Fei.
Xu Chen has already summed up experience. When eating at home, he will follow Fang Jun, and when eating abroad, he will follow Nie Fei.
There will always be surprises.
Lamb stew, Arabic barbecue, vegetable and fruit salad, Persian black tea...
Nie Fei knew that Sister Fang Jun was obsessed with wine, so she specially ordered a bottle of red wine.
In fact, most places and restaurants in Doha prohibit alcohol.
This restaurant happens to have a "license" for drinking, and its semi-outdoor rooftop is considered a drinking area for foreign tourists...
……
Under the candlelight, there was laughter.
After eating one round, the store served two more plates of complimentary fruits and preserves.
Dates seemed to be a famous local delicacy. They were sweet and soft, and Xu Chen couldn't help but eat a few more.
Xu Chen still greeted everyone, chatting and laughing with everyone.
Xie Bingran sat quietly next to Xu Chen, drinking a glass of lemonade and remaining silent.
She listened to the jokes told by Xu Chen and only laughed occasionally.
Xu Chen would take pieces of fresh fruit from time to time and put them on the plate in front of Xie Bingran...
At a certain moment when he stood up to get a drink, Xu Chen felt the corner of his clothes being pulled.
He looked down and found that the hem of his coat had been secretly grasped by Xie Bingran at some point.
I don’t know how long I have been holding on to it.
Like a child who had done something wrong, she quickly retracted her hand.
Then I ate the fruit silently...
Xu Chen sat back, suddenly feeling distressed again.
Then he quietly dropped his arms under the table.
After a while, Xie Bingran's soft little hand slipped into Xu Chen's hand.
……
……
After meal.
Wu Feifei and Su Rong dragged Brother Bing to the side to take pictures again.
Xie Bingran did not refuse and seemed to gain some happiness from it.
Fang Jun and Nie Fei added another bottle of red wine.
Of course, Nie Fei mainly accompanies Sister Fang Jun...
Xu Chen drank a glass of apple juice and scrolled through the messages on his phone.
In the college's large group, Senior Bai Miao's "Cheering Group" has continued to post a lot of content.
Including the live game during the day, the moment when the cheering team took a photo with Bai Miao, etc...
In addition to expressing congratulations to senior Bai Miao, the intensive discussion in the group also naturally talked about gold medal winner Xie Bingran.
Even throughout the afternoon, the frequency of the words "Xie Bingran" was much higher than that of "Bai Miao".
This is understandable, but after all, this is a student group of "Tonghai University", and the group is also a student of Bai Miao's college.
Xu Chen opened the group list and took a look and found that Senior Bai Miao was not in the group.
That's okay, otherwise poor senior Bai Miao would probably have to secretly wipe her tears again...
Xu Chen couldn't help but wonder what kind of lively scene there would be among the students of Huahai Normal University and the school forum after Xie Bingran won the championship...
The large group at the moment was reposting the scene of the dinner party between the "Cheering Group" and Senior Bai Miao.
Qian Xin, Huang Hao and others were still having dinner with Senior Bai Miao.
Posting a photo with senior Bai Miao was also a show off.
Xu Chen couldn't help but chuckle to himself. He was having dinner with the champion, and he wasn't particularly rude.
In the afternoon, Xu Chen heard Xie Bingran mention...
The "cheering group" from Shanghai, mainly college students from Huahai Normal University, originally wanted to have dinner with Xie Bingran, but was blocked by coach Cheng Hong.
Cheng Hong still knew Xie Bingran's personality and knew that she was not used to such occasions.
In addition, although Xie Bingran is currently studying at Huahai Normal University, he is not particularly familiar with the students there. After all, he rarely goes to actually attend classes.
Of course, we can’t neglect Brother Bing’s “cheering group”, not to mention it is officially organized...
Cheng Hong specially arranged another dinner reception, which was also done flawlessly.
……
Nie Fei sat next to Xu Chen with a glass of red wine.
"Today, people from Nike and Adidas came over to ask me about Xie Bingran and Burning Ice Sports..."
Xu Chen: "Oh? What do you ask?"
Nie Fei smiled: "What else can you ask? They have already looked into us as potential competitors."
Xu Chen: “But our first product hasn’t been officially released yet!”
Nie Fei took a sip of red wine and continued:
"In the industry, there may be some big brands or capital parties that have other ideas..."
Xu Chen: "For example?"
Nie Fei: “There may be people who want to pay for Xie Bingran’s exclusive cooperation with ‘Ran Bing Sports’.”
Xu Chen smiled helplessly. This is a relatively common operation in the business field.
As long as anything has value, the price can be negotiated.
It also includes the "exclusive" contract that Xu Chen and Xie Bingran have signed.
"Of course we won't sell it," Xu Chen said with a smile.
Nie Fei paused: "What if the price is high?"
Xu Chen shook his head.
Nie Fei: "Tens of millions, hundreds of millions...
Or even hundreds of millions? ”
Xu Chen categorically said: “I won’t sell it!”
Nie Fei held the red wine glass and clinked it with Xu Chen:
"Then I'll feel relieved."
...Xu Chen remembered something again:
"I need to buy some souvenirs and gifts for Brother Bing's coach. Is there anything suitable?"
Nie Fei: "There are three things worth buying here, pearls, dates, and coffee.
If you are a girl, you can consider buying pearl bracelets, pendants, etc. ”
Xu Chen smiled and said: "I knew I should ask Sister Fei!"
Nie Fei: "Let's get together later, I want to buy something too.
Also send some gifts to Amy and Xinxin. ”
Xu Chen sighed: "Sister Fei is still thoughtful."
Nie Fei smiled and said: "And Director Li Yue needs to buy a special gift."
Xu Chen: "I ignored this."
Nie Fei: "It doesn't matter, I'll take care of this."
……
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
……
Twenty minutes later, Xu Chen drove everyone to a large local shopping mall.
The "Waqif Bazaar" I visited yesterday was still too noisy for small commodities.
Now that she wanted to buy something serious to give away, Nie Fei went to this big shopping mall.
The variety of products in the store is so beautiful.
Nie Fei took Xu Chen and Xie Bingran to pick out a pearl bracelet for coach Cheng Hong.
The price is not too exaggerated, it is just right.
I picked out another exquisite lighter as a gift to the head coach Sun Mouping...
Nie Fei went shopping alone, and ended up buying two large boxes of things, which were all packed and sent back to China.
Xu Chen took Xie Bingran for a stroll, looked at the various pearls on the counter, and couldn't help but ask:
"Do you want it?"
Xie Bingran quickly shook his head.
Xu Chen laughed.
It seems that things like pearls really don’t match the temperament of “Brother Bing”.
……
Teacher Fang Jun also bought a large box and sent it directly back to Tiancheng.
Wu Feifei and Su Rong each chose a piece of pearl jewelry, and they obviously liked it very much.
……
……
When we drove back to the hotel, it was already past ten o'clock at night.
Nie Fei, Fang Jun, Wu Feifei, and Su Rong went upstairs to rest first.
Xu Chen drove Xie Bingran to the seaside trail near the hotel.
The two held hands and wandered along the coastline.
……
An observation deck somewhere.
Xie Bingran looked at the deep sea in trance, and Xu Chen hugged her from behind.
She didn't dodge, but leaned back.
Xu Chen buried his breath into her hair and neck, and sniffed hard.
Still the familiar smell of puppies...
Smells very good, I like it very much.
"You are leaving tomorrow..."
Xie Bingran said softly, with resentment in his tone.
"I'll go back first and wait for you to return home."
"Well..."
"Are you going until the 15th?"
"Well, I have to attend the closing ceremony here.
Then I have to go to the capital when I return to China. It seems that I have some activities to attend. ”
Xu Chen smiled:
"That was no ordinary event.
It is impossible for ordinary people to meet your leaders and important people in their lifetime. ”
"But I just want to see you..."
Xu Chen was silent for a while and kissed her hard on the cheek.
"When will it end?"
Xie Bingran blinked his big eyes, revealing a hint of grievance:
"I don't know yet. I asked Director Cheng and she didn't know either...
I only said that I would stay in the capital for about a week. ”
Xu Chen hugged her tighter:
"When you return to Shanghai, I will drive to pick you up."
"Well..." She finally smiled.
"Director Cheng said that you have about ten days of vacation, so I will stay with you every day."
"Yeah."
"It just so happens that the company has a new office, and you haven't even seen it yet.
That is my company and yours..."
"Oh."
"It just so happens that my dad and Fang Jun are coming to Shanghai together...
My dad also said he wanted to see you, and I just happened to meet you. ”
"Uncle Xu is coming... Do I need to prepare anything?"
Xu Chen smiled and kissed her on the face again:
"Just be ready to eat!"
"Oh."
Xu Chen remembered something again and said:
"I'm going to Kuncheng at the end of the month, and you should still be on vacation.
I can take you secretly with me then...
Kuncheng, Licheng, and Belvedere are also very interesting. I’ll rent a car to take you out. ”
Xie Bingran pursed her lips and smiled:
"Okay!"
……
……
hotel room.
Xu Chen was wearing a bathrobe and eating an apple.
"Help me blow dry my hair..."
Xie Bingran's voice came from the bathroom.
Xu Chen smiled, put down the apple in his hand, and walked in happily.
……
The hair dryer whined, and Xu Chen's left hand passed through Xie Bingran's wet hair.
He was serious and meticulous, and he was afraid of burning her.
The scalp is dried, but the hair is still a little damp.
Xu Chen couldn't hold it any longer and hugged her tightly from behind.
He buried his breath into his neck and took a greedy breath...
Perhaps because he had just taken a shower, Xie Bingran's face naturally had a blush.
She turned around, held Xu Chen's face in her hands, looked at it, and then threw herself into his arms.
"Xu Chen, I like you so much..."
"I like you so much too."
……
Their cheeks touched each other, both feeling a little hot.
She seemed to struggle and hesitate for a moment, then gently brought her lips together.
Xu Chen felt the uncontrollable impulse and kissed her hard.
……
Breathing became a little heavier.
She paused and moved her lips away.
But he had no intention of letting go and chased after him again.
If you want to reject it, you will welcome it.
……
At a certain moment, she felt something and shrank in fear.
"You look like a big monster, I'm scared..."
"Brother Bing is not afraid of anything, but he is actually afraid of big monsters?"
"I'm most afraid of you...
I'm only afraid of you..."
She blinked her big eyes, looking aggrieved and pitiful.
Xu Chen's mind swayed, and he hugged her tightly in his arms.
"I'm a little scared...I don't dare..."
Xu Chen stroked the back of her head:
"I'm afraid too.
Your body is very delicate now, and I don't dare mess around with it.
If it affects your hurdles, no one in the country will be able to forgive me..."
Xie Bingran was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.
She held Xu Chen's face with both hands, and kissed his beautiful cheek gently.
