Chapter 143:0142【"Thousand Thousand Que Songs"】
In the morning, The Peninsula Hotel in Kowloon.
Wearing sunglasses, Shi Zhijian sat under the umbrella on the left side of the open-air restaurant, and couldn't help yawning lazily.
On his dining table, there is a plate of ultra-fresh oysters, and he has already eaten more than half of the oysters.
At this moment, in order to get rid of the greasy, Shi Zhijian took a sip of coffee.
There were not many guests around, only two tables of guests were whispering.
Sudden--
"Can I sit down?"
A familiar voice came from behind, Shi Zhijian glanced back, took off the sunglasses he was wearing, and said to the man: "It looks like I'm useless even if I wear sunglasses, Inspector Chen has good eyesight, he can find me early in the morning! "
Chen Zhichao smiled, directly pulled a chair and sat down opposite Shi Zhijian, crossed his legs, took out a cigarette and lit it, and pointed to the plate in front of Shi Zhijian: "Replenishing oysters so early?"
Shi Zhijian picked up an oyster and picked out the meat inside, dipped it in a little mustard, and swallowed it in one gulp, "It's delicious, would you like to try Inspector Chen?"
Seeing Shi Zhijian dipped in mustard and swallowed it in one gulp, Chen Zhichao frowned, "Sharp! I'm not used to mustard!"
"It can also be dipped in soy sauce!"
Chen Zhichao glanced at Shi Zhijian, "Let's cut to the chase!"
"What do you want to say?" Shi Zhijian glanced at Chen Zhichao.
"What's your relationship with Superintendent James?"
"Why should I tell you?"
Chen Zhichao smiled, "You'd better answer honestly, otherwise it won't do you any good."
"You came here just to ask these questions?"
Chen Zhichao was taken aback.
Shi Zhijian looked at Chen Zhichao: "If you have no other questions, please leave and don't disturb my eating oysters!"
Chen Zhichao didn't expect Shi Zhijian to be so tough, "How can you tell me?"
"See what your attitude is? If your attitude satisfies me, maybe I will reveal the news to you!"
Chen Zhichao smiled helplessly, "What do you want me to do?"
Shi Zhijian pointed to the things on the table, "Help me pay later!"
"Huh?" Chen Zhichao was taken aback.
Shi Zhijian picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth: "Actually, Superintendent James and I just met."
Chen Zhichao looked at Shi Zhijian and remained silent.
"Believe it or not!" Shi Zhijian crumpled up the napkin that wiped his mouth and threw it into the trash can under his feet, "Also, I think you should thank me."
"Why should I thank you?"
"Don't pretend to be confused." Shi Zhijian gave Chen Zhichao a white look, "If it wasn't for me last night, you probably wouldn't have had the chance to step down."
Chen Zhichao looked at Shi Zhijian, waiting for him to continue.
"Everyone knows that you are doing things for the Li family, but offending the Xu family for the sake of the Li family is not a worthwhile deal no matter what you think."
"Fortunately, I acted last night to help you resolve the crisis. You put on a reality show, and on the surface, you have done what you should do for the Li family, but in fact, you did not cause any harm to the Xu family. Everyone is happy!"
Chen Zhichao laughed, because Shi Zhijian's analysis was right.
The situation last night was just as Shi Zhijian said. In fact, from the beginning, Chen Zhichao had no intention of really offending the Xu family. The reason why he went to Xu Sanshao's place to make a fuss was also to perform for the Li family behind the Lichi nightclub.
What Chen Zhichao wanted was "a lot of thunder and a little rain", and Shi Zhijian's appearance not only helped him, but also packaged this "performance" perfectly!
After Shi Zhijian finished speaking, without waiting for Chen Zhichao to react, he got up and pointed to the dining table: "Remember, you pay the bill!" After speaking, he turned and left.
Seeing Shi Zhijian leave, Chen Zhichao came to his senses and smiled slightly: "What a striking boy!"
Snap your fingers: "Waiter, pay the bill!"
The waiter quickly took the order and ran over: "Chenghui, the total is three hundred Hong Kong dollars!"
Chen Zhichao was taken aback, "So much? Isn't it a piece of oyster and a cup of coffee?"
"The gentleman just packed three copies!"
"Eh? I'll throw you in the street!"
...
Causeway Bay, Tenement House.
Shi Zhijian leisurely returned home with the packed oysters.
Deng Jiuzheng, a resident of the tenement building, was doing Tai Chi downstairs, using the "undersea needle" and "grabbing the bird's tail". Seeing Shi Zhijian hastened to withdraw his magical powers, he asked, "Mr. Shi is back?"
Shi Zhijian nodded to him.
Deng Jiugong shrugged his nose, and when he saw Shi Zhijian went upstairs, he secretly said to Zhang Alian who was washing clothes: "Mr. Shi eats raw oysters early in the morning, and he is not afraid of nosebleeds!"
"how do you know?"
"We are all men, what is the best thing to know!"
Shi Zhijian ignored these old tenants gossiping behind, and walked up the escalator to the third floor. When passing Nie Yongqin's room, Shi Zhijian seemed to suddenly remember something, and backed away.
Lying on the door and listening to the sound, there seemed to be the sound of a pipa, so Shi Zhijian knocked on the door: "Excuse me, Miss Nie, I need to talk to you about something."
The room was quiet for a while, and with a creak, the door opened, and Nie Yongqin poked her head out: "Is it about the rent? I have already given it to Sister Yufeng."
Shi Zhijian smiled and said, "No, it's something else." He looked into the room, "Can we go in and talk? It's not very convenient outside."
"this……"
Before Nie Yongqin agreed, Shi Zhijian said "Thank you" and squeezed in.
Seeing this, Nie Yongqin couldn't say much.
The room is not very big, but the decoration is very classic and elegant. A pipa hangs obliquely on the wall, and the surroundings are clean. Rouge lipstick is placed on the dressing table, and a cheongsam is hung in the closet next to it. There is also——
Nie Yongqin hurriedly closed the open wardrobe, "Mr. Shi, what do you want from me?"
Shi Zhijian raised the oysters in his hand: "Miss Nie, have you eaten yet, do you want to try the oysters?"
"No, I'm not hungry."
"How can a person not be hungry? I have three points here, and I will leave one for you." Shi Zhijian generously put a portion of the oysters in his hand on the table, and then said: "Actually, I am looking for you. Because of the song you sang last night..."
"Uh, what's the matter?"
"How did you learn that song?"
"This..." Nie Yongqin blushed, "I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't, but that song is really good, so I just..."
"You misunderstood," Shi Zhijian smiled, "I'm not here to pursue responsibility, I just want to tell you that you sing better than me!"
"Huh?" Nie Yongqin was stunned.
Shi Zhijian continued: "I didn't expect you to be so smart, you can remember it after just listening to it once, and you even composed the song for this song. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it!"
"You are also very good at creating such beautiful songs." Nie Yongqin blushed slightly for some reason.
Shi Zhijian quickly waved his hands: "I don't have that ability, I also learned it from others."
"Which one?"
"This," Shi Zhijian paused, "I didn't create it anyway."
Seeing Shi Zhijian's strange expression, Nie Yongqin didn't believe it, because as far as she knew, there were very few people in Xiangjiang who could compose such poignant and beautiful songs, and now Shi Zhijian couldn't tell who it was, obviously he didn't want to admit it.
"But I don't know if you have any other songs?" Nie Yongqin couldn't help asking, her beautiful eyes stared at Shi Zhijian full of expectation.
Seeing her appearance, Shi Zhijian said in his heart, no!
"Well, these oysters should be eaten warm!"
Shi Zhijian wanted to change the subject, but Nie Yongqin followed closely, "Please enlighten Mr. Shi!"
Looking at Nie Yongqin's hopeful gaze, Shi Zhijian couldn't help but soften his heart, "Yes, there is." So he gritted his teeth and found the Cantonese version of "Song of Thousand Thousand Que" and sang it to her.
Unexpectedly, when Nie Yongqin heard this, her beautiful eyes widened.
Shi Zhijian knew it was not good just by looking at her expression, so he didn't dare to stay here anymore, so he hurriedly found an excuse to leave.
Although he didn't talk much, Shi Zhijian could tell that this Nie Yongqin was a real "literary young woman" who was obsessed with songwriting. If he continued to stay, she might empty out his small stomach.
Seeing that Shi Zhijian was in a hurry to leave, Nie Yongqin was too embarrassed to ask him to stay. After Shi Zhijian left, he hurried back to find a pen and paper and copied down the song "Song of a Thousand Thousand Ques" that Shi Zhijian sang just now.
"Looking back slowly, the night that once belonged to each other, Honghong is still you, giving me the sunshine in my heart..."
Nie Yongqin took the copied lyrics and sang softly. The more she sang, the more beautiful the song became.
Thinking of Shi Zhijian's appearance of rushing away just now, he concluded that these two songs must have been written by him, otherwise, why hadn't he heard of such a famous song?
"Such a talent, yet so humble, this Mr. Shi is an interesting person!"
