Several times a day

  How many times a day?

  Jiang Tiankuai gazed deeply at Tang Ke Xin for a long time before finally opening his mouth to say, "How many times do you plan on seeing me in one day?"

  Tang Ke Xin's face turned red.

  "To be honest." Jiang Tiankuai seemed to know she had something to say.

  "If I could, I wouldn't want to see you for a single day." Tang Ke Xin gathered up a ball of pent-up anger and finally couldn't help but say it out loud.

  Jiang Tiankuai's face revealed a subtle smile, as if he was looking at Tang Kexin holding the bottle of sherry with great significance. He sincerely expressed his inner feelings: "But I think you're really amazing, you can even get to the presidential suite on the 100th floor."

  Ke Xin wants to cry.

  Jiang Tiankuai continued to reveal his rarely seen relaxed smile, lowered his eyes and glanced at the sherry in her plate, then asked: "What's going on?"

  "I..."

  "None of your business," Jiang Tiankuai took a cup of clear tea from the servant and took a small sip.

  The butler immediately stepped forward and said, "Today, Miss Zi Xian wanted to drink the Sherry wine from the Yu Zun restaurant. Manager Chen and two employees brought it over, but who knew that the Sherry wine didn't suit Miss's taste? It was later discovered that this Miss had picked out the Sherry wine herself... Moreover, at the time, Manager Chen hadn't reported the truth, which led to this misunderstanding."

  Jiang Tiankuai listened quietly, then looked at Tang Kexin holding the sherry wine, standing in front of him, his palms already slightly trembling, cold sweat dripping from his face, and asked another question: "How many hours have you been standing?"

  "It's been about three hours." The butler said immediately.

  Jiang Tiankuai raised his head, calm and composed, looked at Tang Kexin and said: "It's hard on you."

  Tang Ke Xin's face tightened and she didn't make a sound, knowing that this sentence was sarcasm!

  There was a sound of knocking on the door.

  Jiang Tiankuang's eyes flickered slightly, he leaned forward, and put down his cup.

  Ren Zi Xian walked out completely ignoring Tang Ke Xin, who was still sitting lazily on the sofa with her hair tied up in a neat bun. She took a sip of the clear spring water handed to her by the servant before asking, "When did you arrive?"

  Just now

  "Are you done with work?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "Do you also have times when you're busy?"

  "I said it before, there will always be an end to being busy."

  "Only after finishing official business did you come to me?"

  "You went to Paris for half a year and didn't even think of me."

  Ren Zi Xian held a piece of cake in her hand, about to put it in her mouth, but stopped and looked at Jiang Tian Kuai. Half a year had passed since they last met, yet this man still had an air of handsomeness about him, with an unyielding aura that made him exude a strong and alluring charm. It was as if he only needed to lightly hold her, and she would gain the happiness of the entire world. She paused for a moment before gently placing the cake in her mouth, chewing slowly, then smiled slightly sarcastically: "Heh, it sounds like you're also jealous?"

  Jiang Tiankuai remained silent, holding his teacup and leaning against the sofa, glancing at the long table by the swimming pool, which was already set with a purple tablecloth and white candles.

  "There's a party tonight! I reckon it'll go on till three." Ren Zixian picked up the Clear Spring Water to drink, she never liked drinking juice and other beverages, she was someone who had very high standards for food.

  "Hmm." Jiang Tiankui remained silent, continuing to gaze at the fountain outside.

  "What time are you coming back?" Ren Zixian seemed to have already gotten used to Jiang Tiankuai never participating in her gatherings with friends.

  "I want to get some rest early today," said Jiang Tiankuai.

  Ren Zi Xian's face had a hint of a pleased smile as he said, "Today... I'm going to meet Richie."

  Jiang Tiankuang's eyes flickered for a moment before he said, "Recently, the assassination of Qin Weiye, although it didn't succeed, but these political figures are very sensitive."

  "I know." Ren Zixian finally leaned her soft body against Jiang Tiankuai's solid shoulder.

  Jiang Tiankuai remained silent and let her lean against him, taking the pastry handed over by the steward to eat.

  Can't take it! Really can't take it!! Tang Ke Xin finally couldn't take it anymore! She stood alone, pale-faced, holding a glass of sherry, staring at the man and woman in front of her, not knowing if they were a couple or not, whether they were intimate or not, completely treating herself as transparent, really making people unable to bear it, either you can throw me into the sea and be done with it, or you can let me off directly, this way of dragging on, thinking of curing Jinhua ham?

  This sentence is about hiding in the corner of the kitchen that day and hearing the old chef scolding the young chef.

  "I'm hungry. I want to eat early, there's a fashion show tonight," said Im Jaehyun.

  "Let's have dinner then. I'll go upstairs to wash up first." After finishing speaking, Jiang Tiankuai stood up and walked past Tang Kexin's side, going upstairs to the second floor.

  Ren Zixian also stood up slightly elegantly, flashed past Tang Ke Xin's side and walked towards the dining room saying: "Let's get ready to eat."

  The housekeeper nodded immediately.

  Tang Ke Xin was like a fool, drenched in sweat, holding that bottle of sherry, really and truly on the verge of going crazy. Her hands were already trembling slightly, yet she still didn't dare to move. The clever her knew that if this bottle of wine fell, she herself wouldn't live for long either.

  Time passed, and Jiang Tiankui finished his bath. He was wearing a light gray T-shirt with a collar, white casual pants, and his hair was slightly damp. His hands were casually inserted into his pant pockets as he walked down the spiral staircase step by step. As he descended, he silently gazed at Tang Kexin standing in the living room, her small figure. He had an ambiguous smile on his face. Finally, he reached the bottom of the stairs and stood in front of Tang Kexin again, looking very relaxed as he gazed at her.

  Tang Ke Xin couldn't help but lift her head, looking at Jiang Tian Kuai, watching him take off his suit and change into casual clothes, appearing even more relaxed than he did on the golf course today. But this face... She suddenly thought of that cup of apple juice and felt that this face really deserved a slap. She lowered her head and continued to hold onto the sherry wine tightly.

  Jiang Tiankuai didn't bother with her again, but instead walked towards the living room not far away, picked up a pair of stairs and went up to the luxurious dining hall, sat down, took out the menu, looked at her while unfolding it, and placed it on his thigh.

  Tang Ke Xin lowered her head.

  Ren Zixian sat across from Jiang Tiankuai at the dinner table and said, "Serve the dishes."

  "Yes." The butler immediately had the servant go to the kitchen to prepare it.

  "Today we're having French cuisine." Ren Zixian sat up straight like a hostess.

  Jiang Tiankuai remained silent.

  "No objection?"

  "No opinion"

  "What wine shall we drink? Or should I call the sommelier?" asked Ren Zixian as he picked up the tablecloth and spread it out.

  Jiang Tiankuai finally lifted his head and looked at the bottle of sherry wine in Tang Kexin's hands in the living room, asking: "What kind of wine is that?"

  Zi Xian very naturally turned his head, took a look at the Sherry wine in Tang Ke Xin's hands and said slowly: "In 1997, our Zun Wang's Sherry wine."

  "Try some." Jiang Tiankuai picked up a high-footed cup and took a sip of warm water.

  Zixian said indifferently: "Whatever. Bring it over."

  Tang Ke Xin finally let out a heavy sigh, her legs numb from standing for so long. Earlier, every step she took felt like her feet were swelling up. She gritted her teeth and carefully carried the bottle of sherry wine, slowly making her way to the dining hall. At this moment, the butler led the servants in preparing to serve the dishes, and upon seeing Ke Xin's state, he hastily stepped forward to offer his assistance...

  "It was her." Zixian picked up another cup of warm water and didn't take a sip.

  Tang Ke Xin glanced at them, took a deep breath, carefully held the Sherry wine, and brought it to the table. With great professionalism, she first put on white gloves, then grasped the Sherry wine with her left hand, holding a napkin in her right hand. She came to Jiang Tian Kuai's side, carefully pouring half a cup of Sherry wine for him. Using a white napkin, she wiped the bottle mouth before moving to Zi Xian's front. Carefully, she poured half a cup of Sherry wine for her as well, then used a white napkin to wipe the bottle mouth again and gently covered it with a wooden stopper. In a soft voice, she said: "Because the opening time might have been a bit long earlier, the acidity is slightly weak, so the sugar content doesn't seem very lively... perhaps chilling the remaining wine body will yield better results."

  Jiang Tiankui raised his head and looked at her.

  Zi Xian remained silent, picked up the Sherry wine and took a sip before putting it down and saying: "Then let's chill it, our CEO Jiang loves to drink." Tian Jiang had nothing to say.

  "Adding a slice of lemon might make up for the fact that the bottle was opened for too long, which affected the taste. It would be especially good with steamed lobster on the table, paired with a citrusy wine that's good for allergies and great for the skin." Tang Ke Xin said softly.

  "Hmm." Zi Xian responded.

  Tang Ke Xin listened, then glanced at the butler, who immediately turned around and let the servant prepare a small plate of thinly sliced lemon. The servant brought it over, and Tang Ke Xin carefully picked up the tongs, pinched a small piece from the second-to-last slice of lemon, and put it into Jiang Tian Kuai's wine cup. Then, she turned around, pinched another piece from the second slice of lemon and put it into Zi Xian's cup. Only then did she gently put down the tongs and took two steps back.

  Zixian and Jiang Tiankui simultaneously raised their wine glasses, took a small sip of sherry, and then simultaneously put down their glasses in silence, starting to dine quietly.

  The butler at this time, handed over a small ice bucket to the middle of the long dining table, Ke Xin immediately picked up the sherry soaked in ice cubes, and then clipped a small piece of ice cube, placed it in the crystal plate with lemon, observing the color of the lemon.

  Zi Xian apparently had a good appetite, enjoying the feeling of the wine entering his mouth. He paired it with a piece of braised lobster, taking a few light sips, and a satisfied expression spread across his face. Then he picked up his glass again and downed the remaining sherry in one gulp. Tang Ke Xin saw this and immediately took over the glass, putting it aside and bringing out a new crystal glass. She carefully placed a slice of lemon into the glass and then poured half a cup of sherry wine into it before stepping back.

  Jiang Tiankuai looked at Tang Kexin and drank the sherry in his cup in one gulp!

  Tang Ke Xin's eyes only flickered slightly before she immediately picked up the wine bottle and poured a cup of sherry for Jiang Tian Kuai.

  "Why did she need to change her glass, but I don't?" Jiang Tiankui raised his head and asked coldly.

  Tang Ke Xin lowered her head and replied softly, "Just now I noticed that Miss Ren has been drinking hot spring water all along, which means that Miss Ren likes a lighter taste. The lemon slice has been left in the cup for too long, releasing too much citric acid, which not only affects the quality of the wine but also affects the freshness of the seafood."

  Ren Zi Xian lifted his head, a hint of a smile floating onto his face as he looked at her.

  "What about me?" Jiang Tiankuai asked her.

  "You were just having dinner, and you kept leaning towards the French snails, and the roasted salted lamb chops, which proves that your taste is heavy, and even after finishing the new dish of pepper dragon wrist (that is, fish eye), in fact, if possible, you are now eager for the 93-year-old Chateau Lafite Rothschild from the New World."

  Jiang Tiankuai's eyes floated up with a hint of a smile, and he looked at Tang Kexin.

  Ren Zi Xian saw Jiang Tian Kuai's satisfaction and said to Tang Ke Xin, "Then go to the wine house and pick a bottle of 93-year-old Chateau Lafite."

  Tang Ke Xin immediately nodded and said: "Yes."

  She finished speaking and followed Guan's family into the wine house.

  "Don't you have anything to ask me?" Zi Xian finally raised his head and asked Jiang Tianpei after Tang Ke Xin disappeared!

  "What's good to ask?" Jiang Tianyue picked up the cup of sherry that Ke Xin had poured for him and continued to sip it lightly.

  "Your restaurant staff was rude to me today." Finally, Im Jaehyun said.

  "So you punished her." Jiang Tiankui reminded her.

  Ren Zi Xian silently looked at him like this.

  The phone rang at this time. 14887356

  The butler immediately handed the phone to Jiang Tiankui, who took it and apologized to Zixian before throwing down his napkin, standing up, walking out of the floor-to-ceiling window, and standing by the pool, quietly listening to Dongying report that the assassin of Qin Weiye was about to be caught. However, due to Tang Kexin's sharp cry in the banquet hall that day, the Asia Grand Hotel has not shaken off some rumors until now.

  He quietly listened, slowly moving his footsteps, walking towards the other end of the swimming pool, but saw a floor-to-ceiling window with a familiar figure. He slowly moved his footsteps to that floor-to-ceiling window and saw Tang Ke Xin standing in the dimly lit wine house, pacing back and forth. Finally, she saw a certain 1993 American Cabernet Sauvignon, so she tiptoed, stretched out her five slender fingers, wanting to take over the bottle of wine.

  Jiang Tiankuai hung up the phone and silently pushed open the floor-to-ceiling window, walking into a dimly lit tavern...

  Tang Ke Xin licked her dry lips, just watching others eat, she was actually hungry herself. She struggled to tiptoe and stretched out her hand to grab the bottle of wine, but it was still a little out of reach. She gave up and turned around to look for a small stool, but suddenly felt a warmth behind her, a solid chest with a familiar masculine scent pressed against her back.

  Tang Ke Xin's face suddenly turned red, and she was so scared that she didn't dare move.

  Jiang Tiankuai took advantage of his height to help her get the bottle of Chateau Lafite, but instead of walking away, he pinned her against the wine rack, smiling ambiguously as he rotated the bottle...

  Small hands wearing white gloves grasped the bottle lightly, wanting to snatch it away.

  Jiang Tiankuai lowered his head and looked at Tang Kexin who was pressed under the wine rack by himself, looking pitiful and silent.

  "Don't casually touch the bottle with your palm, do you know how difficult it is from harvesting to brewing? The brewer paid a lot for that little taste, don't waste it...” Tang Ke Xin shrank into Jiang Tian Kuai's arms, wanting to grab the red wine bottle, but felt him tightly grasping it. Her face turned red as she subconsciously wanted to push him away!

  Jiang Tiankuai suddenly stretched out his hand, tightly holding her waist, making her stick closer to him. He let go of the red wine, but pinched her chin, wanting to lift up her left face. Tang Kexin realized it and grabbed his wrist again, glaring at him fiercely!

  Jiang Tiankuai's movements came to a halt, and he looked at her with such eyes, hesitating for a moment before slowly releasing his hand from her waist. His thumb lightly stroked her chin, and he quietly walked out.

  Tang Ke Xin let out a long sigh of relief, hugging the bottle of red wine, her eyes slightly red, thinking about this man who had already asked to see her scars three or four times, completely unafraid of hurting himself. Her heart felt a little wronged, but she still hugged the bottle of wine and walked out, passing through the large living room, seeing Jiang Tian Pei sitting back in his seat. She collected her thoughts, held up the wine and came to the center of the dining table, in front of Jiang Tian Pei, Ren Zi Xian, and Guan Jia, professionally displaying the label on the bottle of wine, facing the two noble masters, saying: "This bottle is a Cabernet Sauvignon from the New World of America, 1993, with a stable tannin level, a relatively long-lasting red wine for its age, slightly lighter in body, suitable for pairing with today's new-style dishes. Even in 1993, America experienced a brief period of strong winds and snow, so the selection of grape varieties would be more difficult, when drinking this wine, one can feel a hint of menthol flavor, refreshing and cooling."

  Jiang Tiankuai listened silently, a hint of smile floating in his eyes.

  "Open it..." said Im Ji-hyun.

  "Yes!" Tang Ke Xin responded, and immediately quickly pulled out a bottle opener from her uniform pocket. With her left hand gripping the top of the bottle and her right hand opening the sharp blade, she neatly twisted the top of the wine bottle, perfectly removing the cap. She then rotated the spiral tip of the knife into the center of the cork, applying slight force to twist it out in three seconds. Next, she picked up a clean towel to wipe the mouth of the bottle, preventing any wood shavings from falling into the wine. After taking a small sniff of the cork, her eyes sparkled slightly as she picked up a glass and poured a little red wine into it. She then took a sip...

  The housekeeper was extremely surprised at Ke Xin's professionalism, watching her boldly taste the wine in front of Jiang Tiankuai and Ren Zixian, proving that she had a hint of doubt about this bottle of red wine, so she decided to taste it.

  Ren Zi Xian and Jiang Tian Kuai also silently looked at her.

  Tang Ke Xin's eyes sank slightly, before finally confirming the red wine she had chosen. She then placed the wine stopper in the center of a clean plate and took a step back, waiting for the wine to breathe...

  Ren Zixian finally lifted her head, looking at Tang Ke Xin standing beside her, with a very professional and calm demeanor, compared to the pitiful look she had when holding the red wine earlier, it was as if she had changed into a different person. Ren Zixian picked up a napkin, lightly wiped the corner of her mouth, before saying in a light tone: "Your professionalism just saved your life."

  Like a small stone hitting the vital organs.

  Tang Ke Xin's eyes flashed wildly for a moment, and she took a slightly tense breath, glancing at Ren Zi Xian.

  Jiang Tiankuai remained silent.

  "Get out! Don't do such absurd things again. Having talent but not showing it off, that kind of life is so pretentious! I really dislike people like that." Ren Zixian criticized mercilessly, yet showed her willingness to give him a chance.

  Tang Ke Xin looked at Ren Zi Xian with a hint of excitement.

  "Let's go. You did well tonight." Ren Zixian remained silent, picking up the sherry wine and taking another small sip.

  Tang Ke Xin suddenly laughed emotionally, she had been trapped here for five hours, during these five hours, her mind was a complete blank, in the feeling of whether to go or stay, she almost strangled herself. She relaxed and took a deep breath, swallowed her dry throat, then bent down to say to Ren Zi Xian and Jiang Tian Kuai: "Thank you, President and Madam."

  Jiang Tiankui frowned at her.

  Ren Zi Xian couldn't help but laugh.

  "Wishing you a pleasant meal." After Tang Ke Xin said this from the bottom of her heart, she finally turned around excitedly and walked towards that big door. As she walked, she felt herself floating lightly. Who could have imagined that this little girl actually had such a strong desire for this job? Who could know how excited she was at this moment? She relied on something left by her father to save her own life. Who knew that at this moment, she was also very grateful to her father?

  She suddenly felt a pang in her heart, and under the sympathetic gaze of the butler and three servants, she walked out of the presidential suite and came to the elevator. As the elevator door slowly opened, she stepped inside with a pale face. The moment the elevator doors closed, tears began to flow down her face.

  A faint sobbing sound came over.

  Tang Ke Xin sadly wiped away her tears, recalling the thrilling scene just now, and again fell into sorrowful tears.

  A black Range Rover is parked in front of the Asia Hotel.

  The attendant immediately stepped forward, first bowing and greeting the guest, then personally putting on white gloves to open the car door.

  Su Ruiqi wore a black shirt and white casual pants, pushed open the car door, got out of the car, handed over the keys to the receptionist next to him, then turned around and hugged a bunch of lilies, smiling as he walked into the lobby.

  At that moment, the receptionist in the hall, as well as the guests coming and going, including the magazine editors who had arrived for tonight's fashion show, were all staring at the man in front of them in surprise. Wen Ru was still stylish, with a model-like figure and a handsome face. When he looked at people, his eyes seemed like stars in the night sky, shining with a hint of gentle affection. When he glanced at someone, it was as if he was confessing his love to that person.

  There was a young model, only sixteen years old, who was in charge of the show tonight. When she saw Su Ruiqi's really handsome face, she couldn't help but blush and say: "Is he our senior brother? Is he a model?"

  Su Ruiqi walked towards the elevator with a calm face amidst the crowd's chatter, but just a few steps later, he saw a very familiar girl, and his eyes showed a hint of warmth as he looked at her.

  Tang Ke Xin was still immersed in the thrill and sadness of just now, taking advantage of it being evening already, with no colleagues seeing her, she quietly wiped away the tears on her face, sniffled her bright red nose, and walked step by step past the pillars in the hall, heading outside...

  Su Ruiqiu silently followed her footsteps, seemingly smiling but not quite, as he retreated step by step, watching her rhythmic gait. As she walked forward, her steps were light and beautiful, and he smiled. She took a step forward, and he took a step back to match her rhythm. Finally, he saw her small face clearly, then the tears in her eyes. His expression slightly changed, and he stopped moving, standing there watching Tang Ke Xin walk out of the hall. He turned around, looking at her back, and said with some puzzlement: "Crying again?"

  Tang Ke Xin walked out of the main hall, so hungry that she wanted to head towards the staff building. At this time, the cafeteria was definitely closed for dinner, and the midnight snack wouldn't be available until 10 o'clock. She was really starving, so she thought about changing her clothes quickly and running out to eat a bowl of noodles.

  She walked along the small path that Xiao Rou had taught her to take, and then she slipped into a cluster of iron trees, and then came out again. Just as she was about to move forward, she saw a man standing in the dark path staring at her. She was so frightened that she was just about to shout loudly, but someone covered her mouth.

  Today's update is over.
