Chapter 652: 258 Big Boss Operation_2
Shen Qing was holding a flexible ruler, taking Bai Lian’s measurements.
“You’ve lost weight.” While measuring Bai Lian’s waistline, Shen Qing jotted down the measurements.
Jiang Fulai was sitting on the sofa. He was dressed in a white shirt, his fingers casually resting on the armrest without cufflinks; his sleeves were rolled up twice, revealing his somewhat bony wrists as his phoenix-like eyes lazily rose.
With a teacup in his other hand, he nodded along upon hearing the remark.
Ji Heng and Jiang He were sitting on a small carpet nearby, playing Go. Jiang He carelessly placed a piece, then looked up at Ji Heng. Holding a black stone, Ji Heng looked back at Jiang He expressionlessly: “…”
By the time Bai Lian had been fully measured, Ji Heng handed her the black stone and took the measurements from Shen Qing, “Alian, you’re going to perform with a spear, do you have any requirements for the costume?”
...
Bai Lian bent down, unhurriedly placing the black stone on the board and methodically picked up another, “White, mainly simple.”
White?
Ji Heng had originally planned to prepare a red performance outfit for her.
“Okay,” said Ji Heng as he walked into the yard, his gaze lowered as he lit a cigar, thinking about the performance costume.
By the glass doors, Bai Lian sat cross-legged opposite Jiang He, with the last black stone between her middle and index fingers. Her fingers appearing even whiter, she placed the black stone in one spot and said leisurely, “Jiang Xiaoniao, watch closely.”
“This move is called Cabbage Array.”
Opposite her, Jiang He: “…”
On the side, Jiang Fulai, from the sofa, set down his teacup and came over to admire Bai Lian’s Cabbage Array, “Good, play like this next time.”
Speaking of cabbages, Shen Qing asked Ji Heng, “Can the cabbages in the flowerpots outside be eaten yet?”
“…”
After finishing the game with Jiang He, Bai Lian looked down at her phone and saw a message from a friend.
Ding Wenyang.
Ding Wenyang: [[File]]
Ding Wenyang: [So you’re also a fan of “Pick God”!]
She had sent the documents for the research group to discuss; Bai Lian told Ji Heng, then returned to the third floor to start working on the PowerPoint presentation based on the files Ding Wenyang had sent.
After she left, Ji Heng added more tobacco to his pipe.
His gaze shifted to Jiang Fulai.
Jiang Fulai came out holding Jiang He’s Rubik’s cube.
