Chapter 6: "She could understand where the harshness of Xi Heming came from, it must be hereditary!"
The two people looked at each other with complicated expressions for a moment, and at the same time, they turned around and went back to their respective places.
The first thing Jiang Wanwan wanted to check when she returned to her room was the development of smart data technology and AI technology used by companies in this time and space. It was not very convenient to search on mobile phones, so Jiang Wanwan searched around the room, including the cloakroom, but she could not find her laptop.
Looking at the dazzling array of clothes in the cloakroom, Jiang Wanwan sighed in frustration. Girl, can't you remember to buy a laptop when you buy so many clothes? Even if you don't look up information and play games, it would be better!
After thinking about it, Jiang Wanwan picked up her phone. She searched through it for a moment and found a shopping app, and finally picked up a computer with the highest configuration.
But when she was about to place her order, Jiang Wanwan suddenly remembered something. She still didn't know the address of the house she was living in.
Thinking of Xi Heming's dark face at dinner, Jiang Wanwan wailed and fell on her bed, hugging her phone and rolling around. She really didn't want to ask Xi Heming. In fact, she didn't deliberately want to piss him off, but this person always looked at her with a pair of colored glasses. It made her feel a little bit angry, and transmigrating inside a dog-blood book made her feel a little uncontrollable, which led to the current situation.
有色眼镜 (yǒu sè yǎn jìng)- Colored glasses, a Chinese idiom, meaning the prejudice held by people or things viewed with a personal subjective perspective.
After lying on her bed for a long time, Jiang Wanwan suddenly thought of the maid, Aunt Wang, and her eyes lit up. If she can ask the maid for an address, why bother to go to Xi Heming?
Jiang Wanwan got up from the bed, and opened the door and took her head deeper out. There was no one in sight in the living room, only the bright light from the crystal lamp. Jiang Wanwan crept out with her mobile phone in her hand and walked towards the maid's room without hesitation
Usually the maid's room is on the north side of the house, next to the kitchen and laundry room. Jiang Wanwan searched around. The dining room and kitchen had been cleaned up, but there was no sign of the maid, no one answered even after calling out twice.
Jiang Wanwan came to the door of the maid's room and knocked, but there was no movement inside. She gently pushed the door open and found that the maid's room had been decorated as a small living room with a small double sofa, coffee table, TV and wardrobe, but no bed.
Thinking about Xi Heming's turtle hair nature, he is really the kind of person who doesn't want to have outsiders living in his home. No wonder he was so grumpy when he brought Jiang Wanwan home today.
龟毛性格 (guī máo xìng gé) turtle hair nature - Finicky; when a person is very boring, very serious and have some unusual behaviour that causes everyone around him or her to go quite mad
The maid does not live at home, so Jiang Wanwan can only go to see Xi Heming. Although she could not save face, she could still tell which was more important than work.
When she arrived at the door of Xi Heming's room, Jiang Wanwan adjusted her smile to a formulaic one and raised her hand to knock on Xi Heming's door.
There seemed to be no one in the bedroom. Jiang Wanwan knocked on the study door again, but there was still no response. Finally, Jiang Wanwan came to the door of the gym and heard the faint sound of music coming from inside, so she knew that Xi Heming must be in there.
She knocked on the door, but she didn't know if Xi Heming didn't hear her or didn't want to open the door, and there was no movement for a long time. Jiang Wanwan's patience ran out as time passed, so she took hold of the handle and pushed the door open.
The gym was soundproofed. As soon as the door was opened, deafening music came out from inside, and Xi Heming was doing intense aerobic exercises on a dynamic bike.
Instead of the meticulously combed hair he wore during the day, his hair was hanging in a bit of a mess on his forehead. Crystal clear sweat dripping down his cheeks and dripping onto the floor. The short-sleeved sport shirt he was wearing had long since soaked through and clung to his body, outlining his alluring abdominal muscles.
Jiang Wanwan looked at Xi Heming who was doing all sorts of moves on his bike and swallowed her saliva in disgrace. Not to mention his personality, in terms of face and figure alone, Xi Heming could kill many first-line stars, and even she, who was not a face dog, could not resist.
But ......
When Xi Heming finished his set of moves, he turned his head and saw Jiang Wanwan standing in the doorway. His eyes narrowed slightly, he lifted his long legs and stepped down from the bike, casually turned off the speaker and looked at Jiang Wanwan with great displeasure.
"I remember I told you that it's best not to come to my place if you have nothing to do, and even less if you have something to do." Xi Heming looked her up and down, the corners of his mouth curving in a mocking arc, "Don't tell me you're here to seduce me, I advise you to save your breath."
Jiang Wanwan: "haha......"
She knew this would happen!
What's the use of having a good face. She wouldn't like him even if he was a hundred times more handsome with this kind of bad personality.
Jiang Wanwan rolled her eyes at Xi Heming: "You think too much. I came to ask you for the delivery address of this house. I need to buy some things."
Xi Heming picked up the towel on the side and wiped the sweat off his face and said "If you want to buy something, just ask the driver to buy it back. Why bother."
"I want to buy a computer." Jiang Wanwan opened her phone and looked at the page of the computer she had spotted, "In addition, I need to buy a few servers."
"Servers?" Xi Heming gave her a somewhat puzzled look, "What do you need to buy servers for?"
"It's needed to start a business!" Jiang Wanwan didn't want to go into details: "The servers are just for me to build the platform for testing."
Xi Heming looked at Jiang Wanwan with astonishment and this time smiled sincerely, "Do you know what it means to start a business? You can't just buy two computers and register a company."
Jiang Wanwan took a deep breath and tried to keep a smile on her face, "I know, so can you give me the address now? I need to hurry up and place my order so that it will arrive almost tomorrow."
Xi Heming put the towel in his hand on the shelf to the side and walked straight towards the door, stopping in front of Jiang Wanwan.
Jiang Wanwan's gaze fell on Xi Heming's sweat-drenched clothes, trying to restrain her eyes from wandering to the location of his abdominal muscles. She thought the man would have a strong stench if he sweated so much, but unexpectedly, Xi Heming's body actually smelled clean, with only a faint mint scent.
Jiang Wanwan was a little distracted. Was it possible that people with a turtle hair cleanliness fetish were just as harsh on themselves, not allowing even a hint of body odour to appear?
While Jiang Wanwan was lost in thought, Xi Heming lifted his hand and took away her phone: "Let me see the computer you chose." After seeing the computer style on the phone page, he gave Jiang Wanwan a somewhat surprised look.
Xi Heming had always thought that a superficial woman like Jiang Wanwan would only buy things based on their appearance, but to his surprise, the computer Jiang Wanwan had chosen was actually not good-looking, not even the colour that little girls like most. It was only the most common black colour, but looking at the parameters, it was indeed a relatively high-end computer on the market.
Xi Heming handed the phone back to Jiang Wanwan: "You don't need to place an order."
Jiang Wanwan had just raised her eyebrows when she heard Xi Heming say, "I will arrange for someone to buy the computer and server tomorrow. I will also have the room next to your bedroom set up as a study for you."
Jiang Wanwan, who had been stabbed by Xi Heming all day, was confused and looked at him hesitantly, "Why are you so nice all of a sudden?"
Xi Heming put his arm on the door frame and looked at her condescendingly, with a nasty smile on his face, "Because I'm curious to know if you'll break down and bawl your eyes out the day your business fails."
The smile on Jiang Wanwan's face instantly disappeared without a trace, she knew this man had no good intentions!
***
After sleeping for two hours during the day, Jiang Wanwan lay tossing and turning in bed for a long time before falling asleep at night, and the time she was woken up by the maid it was already nine in the morning.
On the first day after marriage, they need to go to Xi's father's villa to meet with the old man Xi and Xi's relatives.
Jiang Wanwan remembered a sentence in the novel that old man Xi and his siblings did not have a good relationship, and were even a bit nasty.
Father Xi had invested his entire fortune when he started his own business, and at the most difficult time he had nothing left. But in this situation, his brothers and sisters did not reach out to help. Instead, they mocked and ridiculed him, not even allowing him to come back for the New Year's Eve dinner and saying that they were afraid he would open his mouth to borrow money.
Although Old Man Xi's abilities were far less than those of Xi Heming, he was already much better off than ordinary people in those days. After gritting his teeth for two years, old man Xi's business finally improved and soon became prosperous. At this time, all the brothers and sisters of the Xi family regretted it, and all of them came over to hug the thighs, some wanted to take money into the business, while some greedy ones wanted a share of the pie.
He did not break the face of his relatives, but he did not agree with them either, so he just left them hanging, letting them look at him but not getting a single penny.
Thirty years later, Xi Heming took over the Xi’s Group and directly turned the company into a large multinational company. The relatives' eyes became even more red and they all pounced on Xi He Ming, thinking that he was young and thin-skinned, so he must be better at talking than his father that they could put their own children in as managers even if they couldn't get any money.
It's a pity that Xi Heming's personality is even worse than his father's. If you want to join the company, you have to pass the interview first, then enter the internship period, and then start from the grassroots, and if you want to be a manager, then you have to work together with other employees.
In his eyes, there are only employees, no relatives!
Old man Xi is happy to see his son's insensitivity, but at the same time he is anxious that he doesn't get married or fall in love, which is why he has gone to the trouble of slipping him a wife. In Old Man Xi's opinion, love is not important, it is natural to have feelings after living together for a long time. He didn't want the mountain that their father and son had worked hard for two lifetimes to fall into the hands of those descendants of his relatives.
Old man Xi knew that his relatives had been talking behind his back about the fact that Xi Heming was still not close to women at the age of 30, and had even been gloating about it. He would not let them have their way. He would have to show off his son's marriage to his daughter-in-law and make their little plans come to naught.
Jiang Wanwan looked at old man Xi who was sitting triumphantly on the sofa and his relatives who were beside him with depressed faces. She could understand where the harshness of Xi Heming came from, it must be hereditary!
