Re-engraving the Spring
Lu Ming’s company’s new product was launched, and everything was ready, but still had a problem with the spokesperson. Because the new products were inferior to the previous ones, except for Luo Xu, the company had sent cooperation invitations to several domestic household names, but all were politely rejected. Either the other party felt that Lu Ming’s brand was not preferred, or the other party’s schedule was full and had to wait.
Within the project budget, the cost of inviting the spokesperson was already over the limit, and Lu Ming did not intend to add more money.
Lu Ming’s grandfather’s company had declined a lot in the hands of Lu Fengshen, and now it needed a lot of money to start again. Although Lu Ming had been generous to Chi Qiu, he was haggling over every ounce in the project budget.
The only big star who was willing to pick up, Luo Xu, also went abroad to accompany his wife.
But..
Xu Ling had a lot on his mind, he asked tentatively, “Mr. Lu, Luo Xu has returned to China in the past two days. It seems that he took his wife back with him. Perhaps we can ask them again, if there is still interest…”
“Luo Xu won’t do.” Lu Ming would definitely not want to use someone who would put personal matters above business matters
Xu Ling knew what was in Lu Ming’s mind and politely advised him, “In fact, the private life of the artist, as long as there are no major problems, it really does not affect our products. Luo Xu’s wife was also an entertainer before, and they both have a really high degree of national popularity. If Luo Xu could be our spokesperson, it will definitely benefit us.”
“Xu Ling, I said, don’t consider him.”
Lu Ming’s meaning was clear, he wanted Xu Ling to continue looking for a spokesperson, so he said righteously, “Luo Xu left his job and went abroad to spend time with his wife, is that reasonable?”
Xu Ling complained in his heart about Lu Ming’s rigidity, he relied on his silver tongue to persuade for a long time, but still failed. Finally, across the phone, in front of the iron-faced Lu Ming, Xu Ling sighed deeply.
Now that he had been transferred and promoted, he naturally had a lot of confidence: “But Mr. Lu, didn’t you also leave your job today to accompany Mr. Chi at home?”
“…”
“And yesterday, as soon as things were over, you went to Mr. Chi right away. You didn’t participate in any follow-up meeting.”
Xu Ling had a bright mirror in his heart1心里跟明镜似的 means someone seems to know nothing but actually know everything., he was speechless at Lu Ming’s behavior.
Why only officials were allowed to set fires but the public were not allowed to light candles?2the meaning of this idiom is pretty straightforward actually. Meaning, the authorities can do what they like, but the common people are not allowed the slightest bit of freedom
Accompanying his wife wasn’t a big deal that should be accommodated. Was it possible that Mr. Lu was being double standard?
Xu Ling did not dare to say anything else; in case Lu Ming wanted to fire him, then it would be the end. He didn’t forget to mention a little bit of grievance, mentioning his exhaustion from busying himself with this matter in an extremely ‘tactful’ way.
In the end, Xu Ling persuaded bitterly: “Mr. Lu, Luo Xu is really a good choice, please let me try again.”
Lu Ming was speechless, even he himself couldn’t believe that he could leave his job behind and accompany Chi Qiu at home.
Holding the phone, he stood there in a trance.
And Lu Ming’s so-called ‘wife’ didn’t know anything; he was still sitting obediently on the sofa with tea leaves, waiting for Lu Ming to come and invite him to the art exhibition.
After waiting for half an hour, Chi Qiu simply removed the tea leaves.
He touched his eyes and felt that the swelling had mostly subsided.
Today’s sunshine was very good, Chi Qiu’s mood followed along with the brightness. He got up and walked to the door and when Lu Ming hung up the phone, he deliberately stepped forward.
Lu Ming put away his mobile phone, and regardless of him being upset, he stepped forward subconsciously and stretched out his arm, letting Chi Qiu used him as a support: “There was a problem at work, so I talked to Xu Ling for a little longer.”
“It’s okay, work is important.” Chi Qiu kindly pinched Lu Ming’s arm, the tone was full of intimacy, “You must be tired from sorting the roses, I’ll massage you.”
Lu Ming let Chi Qiu fool around, and the annoyance in his heart was blown away in an instant, but he didn’t know it. He looked down at Chi Qiu’s eyes and asked, “It’s a little swollen, is it still uncomfortable?”
“It’s not uncomfortable anymore, the tea method is very effective.” Chi Qiu said while raising the ticket in his hand. Hiding his expectations, he pretended to be casual, “Aunt Zhang said you forgot something and asked me give it to you. It feels like two tickets?”
Lu Ming glanced at it and casually took it: “It’s a ticket to my uncle’s art exhibition, I don’t plan to go.”
He blocked Chi Qiu with one sentence.
Chi Qiu was stunned; his eyes widened and he said in surprise: “How can you not go to uncle’s art exhibition?”
Lu Ming was really not interested in appreciating paintings. Besides, there might be someone he didn’t want to see coming to the exhibition too.
“I’m not interested in the exhibition.”
In the past, every time Lu Fengshen had a art exhibition, he would force Lu Ming to go to make up a number of people. But now that Lu Fengshen was a bit more famous, Lu Ming, a layman, thought it was better not to add to the mess.
Chi Qiu was calculating in his heart, and said the words: “If you don’t go, won’t uncle’s ticket be given in vain? It’s not good to disappoint uncle’s good intentions, right?”
“No.” Lu Ming considered that Chi Qiu was blind and could not see the art exhibition so he did not notice that Chi Qiu wanted to go. He looked at the two tickets in his hand and said, “It just so happens that Xu Ling’s sister is very interested in the art exhibition. He had asked me a few times. I’ll give him the tickets when I go to work.”
Lu Ming said it all at once, not leaving any room for Chi Qiu to say anything at all.
“…”
Seeing that Lu Ming said he was going to give it away, Chi Qiu had to take a deep breath. He thought to himself that when his eyes had a chance to ‘recover; he would definitely go to Lu Fengshen’s art exhibition once, to open his eyes and gain insight.
In the afternoon, Lu Ming’s work phone never rang again.
The two men carefully tied the misplaced rose branches together with string and hung them upside down in a relatively dry and ventilated place.
Lu Ming’s movements were faster, and one rose after another stretched into clouds in his hands. Next to him, Chi Qiu seemed to have no idea about this meticulous work. He failed to adjust the position twice in a row, causing the roses in his hands to fall off a lot of petals; it was a pity.
Seeing this, Lu Ming kindly reminded him twice, and then directly started to hold Chi Qiu’s hand and tie the rope, carefully teaching him.
“Understand?”
“Understand…but I still can’t tie it up.”
Lu Ming was surprisingly patient with Chi Qiu: “Didn’t you say last night that you had learned, you can even teach me?”
Chi Qiu liked Lu Ming holding his hand while doing things; he took the opportunity to hook his little finger with Lu Ming’s little finger and playfully said, “I don’t know. Anyway, I can’t tie it well today.”
Lu Ming understood: “Deliberately don’t do well?”
Chi Qiu frowned and pursed his lips, he simply didn’t do it on purpose: “…” He readjusted the position of the rose branches, tied them together carefully and tied a dead knot. Once everything was in place, he vigorously picked up the roses, touched the hooks above them, and hung them securely: “There.”
Seeing Chi Qiu’s aggrieved expression, Lu Ming didn’t know what he was angry for, so he couldn’t hold back and laughed softly.
Chi Qiu raised his head suddenly, hesitated for a moment before asking in disbelief, “Are you laughing?”
“En.”
“…”
“What’s wrong, I can’t laugh?”
Chi Qiu was dazzled by the delicate roses, and hurriedly replied: “Of course…” He was stunned for a moment, then laughed stupidly. His eyes were full of Lu Ming, and his heart was throbbing, “This is the first time I’ve heard you laugh since we got married.”
Lu Ming looked good when he smiled, and it fell into Chi Qiu’s heart.
Chi Qiu’s heart was distraught; he clearly saw Lu Ming’s smile in his eyes, and said hurriedly: “You must look good when you smile.”

Lu Ming didn’t care. The expression on his face relaxed as he held Chi Qiu’s hand again.
Chi Qiu was close to him; fingers touching fingers, arms touching arms, and each other’s temperature was as comfortable as the afternoon sun. Lu Ming saw Chi Qiu’s reddened ears and his voice was low and deep: “Focus.”
This Sunday, for Chi Qiu, was really extremely meaningful.
