Qiu Qiu and Hua Xiang practiced the choral repertoire all morning. Singing is physical work, not only to open the mouth, but also to mobilize the abdominal muscles and open the diaphragm to help the vocalization together.
Before singing, in order to ensure that the voice is round and not "greasy", you should not eat too much, otherwise it would be embarrassing to burp before vocalizing.
After three hours of practice, both of them were exhausted and hungry. Hua Xiang rubbed his stomach, feeling that his whole body was "empty".
"No more practice, no more, eat first." He threw the sheet music on the sofa, dragged Qiu Qiu and walked out the door.
There are many restaurants downstairs in Huaxiang's house, clean and delicious. Master Huada had never set foot in such a small restaurant, but he happened to set foot in it once, and found that it was actually quite good, and the most important thing was that it was cheap! During this period of time, he has ordered all the takeaways nearby.
"I have Chongqing pea noodles downstairs that are very delicious. Let's have a slightly spicy one, and then two bottles of Weiyi soy milk..." He drooled, the young master has never eaten this kind of street food, and he has been dreaming about it for the past few days .
Hua Xiang turned his head to talk to Qiu Qiu, opened the door and walked out, not paying attention to the person standing outside the door.
Li Weixi hadn't withdrawn the hand that was about to knock on the door, but Hua Xiang had already bumped into it.
"careful!"
Qiu Qiu's reminder was late, and the two collided hard. One rubbed his forehead and the other rubbed his chin, all of which were flushed red.
Hua Xiang's teeth were bleeding from knocking, and it dripped down his lips. He was so frightened that he rushed to the bathroom to look in the mirror, for fear of knocking out his teeth. For ordinary people, the loss of a tooth only affects the appearance, but for singers, the tooth greatly affects the air supply and inhalation. If a tooth is missing, the sound produced by the airflow will change accordingly.
Fortunately, Hua Xiang is strong and strong, even his teeth are stronger than others, but the gums bleed a little, and it didn't hurt the root.
He rinsed his mouth twice, spat out two mouthfuls of blood, and then walked out of the bathroom with his mouth pursed.
In the living room, Li Weixi was sitting on the sofa, his forehead was swollen from the bump, Qiu Qiu was digging through the family first aid kit, looking for ointment for pain relief and swelling.
Seeing Hua Xiang's appearance as an old lady with a gaping mouth, Li Weixi asked him: "How is your mouth, are you okay?"
Hua Xiang couldn't pretend that he didn't hear him when he offered to show his favor.
"It's okay... how are you?"
Li Weixi laughed at himself: "I didn't have a concussion, but this bag is probably going to be left in the United States."
"Found it!" Qiu Qiu finally found an aloe vera paste from the messy first aid kit. He carefully squeezed the aloe vera paste onto his fingertips, raised his hand and carefully applied the ointment to Li Weixi's forehead.
The translucent green ointment melted as soon as it touched the skin, Qiu Qiu carefully spread it evenly, as thoughtfully as a little padded jacket in winter.
The ointment was very cold, and the swollen forehead was scalding hot. Li Weixi closed his eyes subconsciously, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and tilted his head up, letting the boy's fingers rub his forehead lightly, stroking away the pain.
Brother Li looks really good-looking.
Qiu Qiu thought to himself, I wonder if he has a new lover after breaking up with his godfather
"I'm sorry..." Hua Xiang said awkwardly, "You shouldn't be standing outside the door."
Li Weixi opened his eyes, even if there was a small piece of light green on his forehead, it didn't affect his momentum and beauty in the slightest. "So the takeaway is here, and I asked you to come out to eat. Is it my fault?"
"Uh... did you order takeaway?" Hua Xiang sniffed, "...it's the Chongqing Pea Zamian downstairs? How do you know I want to eat it?"
Li Weixi closed his eyes again, ignoring the suddenly excited humanoid husky: "Because of this stutter, some people have been barking at home for several days."
Qiu Qiu looked left and right, a little confused: just now Hua Xiang said that he and Li Weixi were not friends at all, but their interaction was obviously closer than friends.
…
The three sat around the dining table, each with a bowl of slightly spicy Chongqing pea noodles, and a large bottle of Weiyi soy milk in the middle of the table. It was the first time for Qiu Qiu to taste Chongqing cuisine. Even though the takeout list said "slightly spicy", he fanned his mouth so hot. Hua Xiang's gums were bleeding. At this time, he was gasping for air while eating, and his mouth became swollen after a while, but he just couldn't bear to let go of the noodle bowl in his hand.
Li Weixi helplessly handed a cup of soy milk to each of the two children: "Okay, eat slowly."
Qiu Qiu took the water glass with both hands and drank it obediently. The soy milk was the most refreshing. The circle of red oil around his mouth soon turned into a circle of milk froth, looking more like a baby.
Li Weixi pondered for a while, and asked him: "... How far has your godfather dealt with the recent turmoil in the Enrui Group?"
Qiu Qiu told everything he knew. He didn't know much about business, and Fu Ruien was busy recently, so he didn't have time to talk to him in detail, but Qiu Qiu could see the urgency of the matter from his godfather's increasingly dignified face.
"You mean, the person behind the scenes is the boss of Yangtian Media?" After all, Li Weixi's foundation is not in the country, and some information is not well-informed, and Fu Ruien will not let anyone let this matter out.
Hua Xiang said bluntly: "That Yangtian Media is not a good guy. There have been a lot of scandals before, and it is said that they even let their artists accompany customers... It stinks, even if I pay for it, I won't go."
Mr. Yang was born in a coal mine and has a lot of cash flow. Li Weixi's family business is similar to that of Enrui Group. Naturally, he knows that the biggest problem for them is the shortage of cash flow. Fu Ruien's move is too aggressive, but Li Weixi can understand his choice - the other party has already bullied his lover, if he swallows his anger, what kind of man is he
The three of them chatted about this matter for a long time, Qiu Qiu and Hua Xiang didn't understand business operations, so Li Weixi broke it apart and explained to them the twists and turns.
In the end, Li Weixi sighed wearily: "Although Yangtian Media's company is not large, the capital flow in his hands will only be more than that of Enrui Group. The online public opinion war about cosmetic disfigurement is something that ordinary people can understand." I can see it, but this is just the small wave on the surface, and the undercurrent is even more intense. If Fu Ruien wants to revive this game of chess and defeat Yang Tian, at least, he must prepare this number within a week—"
He compared a number, so scared that Huaxiang dropped his chopsticks. After all, Hua Xiang is a rich second-generation Xiaokai who runs a company in his family, so he still has basic common sense.
"Damn it, with so much cash and such a short period of time, if Qiu Qiu's godfather can really raise such a large sum of money, he probably runs the bank."
Qiu Qiu didn't have a thorough understanding of Fu Ruien's crisis before, but he only knew in general that it was "very troublesome" and "very tricky". On the one hand, it was because Qiu Qiu didn't have a clear concept of a business battle, and on the other hand, Fu Ruien didn't want to bring these troubles to Qiu Qiu.
After listening to the analysis of the two, Qiu Qiu subconsciously clenched his fists under the table.
Compared with the big troubles of life and death encountered by the godfather company, the envy of the insurance research institute, the winning result of the competition... These are all trivial things that cannot be trivialized.
Qiu Qiu felt sorry for his godfather for a moment, it turned out that he withstood such heavy pressure just to create a clean stage for himself.
And what can he do for his godfather
Just at this moment, Qiu Qiu's cell phone rang. He took it over and took a look, and found that it was a few WeChat messages sent by Qiu's father.
I am Lao Qiu: Shared from xx news client: "Follow-up of the Makeup Disfigurement Incident: Customs Detain Enrui Group's Imported Cosmetic Raw Materials"
I’m Lao Qiu: Shared from xx news client: “Enrui Group Fears the Biggest Crisis: “Lipstick Disturbance” Causes Stocks to Limit Down in Three Days”
I am Lao Qiu: Shared from xx news client: "Exclusive conversation with Fu Ruien: Enrui Group will fight head-on"
I'm Lao Qiu: Son, your mother and I have read these news.
Autumn is autumn: QAQ's godfather has been busy with this matter recently, and the lipstick matter is all fake.
I'm Lao Qiu: We know.
I'm Lao Qiu: Is there anything I can do to help
I'm Lao Qiu: The four of us are a family, and we should stand together at critical moments.
Looking at the words sent by his father, Qiu Qiu gradually became clear in his mind - he didn't understand business matters, he only knew that his godfather was short of money, very short of money.
He put down his phone and raised his head, looked at Hua Xiang who was sitting across from him eating noodles, and asked eagerly, "Hua Xiang, I remember your family is in the real estate business?"
Hua Xiang was still chewing on the noodles: "Well... yes, what's wrong?"
"So do you know anyone who can do a quick mortgage on real estate?"
Before Hua Xiang could react, Li Weixi already understood.
"Qiu Qiu, don't mess around!" Li Weixi interrupted him disapprovingly, "It's normal for you to care about him, but Fu Ruien certainly doesn't want you to sell the house to help him. Now that the funds have arrived, I can use my personal name If you lend 20 million yuan, it will be more troublesome if you have to go to the public account."
Hua Xiang was also frightened, and quickly put down his chopsticks to persuade him: "Autumn thief... I can find a quick loan, but the house discount is not mentioned, and the interest rate is scary. And even if your house is sold, how much is it worth?" Money, even if the market value of houses in City A is high, a few million will not change anything in the current situation."
Their "kind persuasion" did not shake Qiu Qiu's mind at all. He looked at them stubbornly and refused to back down: "I know what you said. But I love my godfather, and I want to help him as much as I can. Even if it’s a drop in the bucket. I can’t just sit back and watch him fight while I sit under his umbrella and do nothing.”
In times of crisis, everyone wants to protect their loved ones with their own hands. Qiu Qiu wished that the time could jump to a few years later, and when he became a big star and a university student, he would give all the money he earned from selling records and doing research to his godfather.
But now he is just an ordinary poor student, a talent show singer who has just started, the future is just empty talk, and at this stage he can only spend his family money to help Fu Ruien.
Hua Xiang really couldn't persuade Qiu Qiu. He and Li Weixi looked at each other, and they both saw the helplessness and admiration for this boy in each other's eyes.
In this case…
Hua Xiang asked him helplessly: "Okay, if you think about it, I'll contact you for you. How big is your house, and how much do you plan to borrow? If you are willing to pay high interest, a small company will make the payment within 24 hours at the earliest."
Seeing that his friend was willing to help, Qiu Qiu showed a relieved smile.
"My house is 85 square meters..."
"Only 85 square meters?" Hua Xiang was worried for him. Even if the average price was 70,000 yuan per square meter, the mortgage would have to be discounted a lot. What is this amount of money enough for
"There are 8 sets."
"...???"
"12 sets of 130 square meters."
"...???"
"4 sets of 188 square meters."
Before Qiu Qiu could finish speaking, the expressions of the two people on the table had changed.
Huaxiang=mouth=
Li Weixi O mouth O
Hua Xiang plucked his ears hard, suspecting that he had an auditory hallucination: "...Why do you have so many houses in your family?"
Qiu Qiu blinked: "Is that too much? I haven't finished yet..."
Li Weixi had a complicated expression on his face: "...Qiu Qiu, I really didn't expect you to be a hidden demolition household."
Qiu Qiu showed some dimples in embarrassment.
In fact, so what if the second generation is dismantled, Qiu Qiu only wants to be Fu Ruien's second generation sugar.
Fu Ruien has given Qiu Qiu countless money, time and love, so this time, let Qiu Qiu take care of his godfather.
