C18 Beautiful
On the very night when they found the evidence, the police caught two of the suspected criminals at the Nine Tailed Island. Jiang Ruyi sent a live photo to Xia Lei through WeChat.
The case was solved here, and Jiang Ruyi's position as the bureau chief was secured. As for the precious cultural relics inside the sunken ship, it was hard to guess. Xia Lei didn't care at all. His entire mind was focused on learning.
In the afternoon, when he came back from Rema's studio, he went to a bookstore and bought a thousand dollars worth of books. There are "English and Chinese Dictionary", "English Grammar", "Contemporary University German", "Introduction to Japanese", "French" and other foreign language learning books. There are "Welder's Manual", "Welding Engineer's Manual", "Precision Machining" and other specialized technical books. There were also "Introduction to Computers", "Introduction to C Language", "Programmer's Manual" and other computer-related books. These books were all books on learning knowledge. There were two large boxes and several dozen of them. For an ordinary person to learn and master them, it would be nearly impossible for them to take more than ten years of effort.
However, Xia Lei did not need this long time. In the one hour after he finished reading the photo that Jiang Ruyi sent him, he had finished reading a < English and Chinese Dictionary >. One of the distinctive features of his book reading was that he was in no hurry to understand the meaning of the words. He only used his eyes to quickly scan through them.
Closing the book, Xia Lei closed his eyes and everything that he had read appeared in his mind. Every page, every paragraph, every sentence, even every punctuation mark appeared in his mind!
The most difficult foreign language to learn was to memorize words. He had already memorized the entire English and Chinese Dictionary within an hour. With such a speed, why would he need to spend years or ten years to master this foreign language?
"Brother, your room is still lit, what are you doing so late?" Xia Xue's voice came from outside the door.
Xia Lei looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table and realized that it was already midnight. "I'm reading a book."
"Rest early. You still have to go to the store tomorrow morning. Don't be too tired." Xia Xue asked with concern.
"Alright, I'll go to sleep now. You should go to sleep too." Xia Lei turned off the light.
"Bro, I'll go to the store tomorrow to help." Xia Xue said.
"No need, there's nothing to be busy about in the store. Little An and I are enough." Xia Lei said.
"Then I'll go to school to take supplementary lessons." The sound of footsteps came from outside the door as Xia Xue returned to her room.
Xia Lei lied on his bed with his eyes closed, but his mind was still thinking about the contents of the < Encyclopedia of English and Chinese >. He was too excited to sleep.
The next morning, Xia Lei brought a few books to Lei Ma Workshop. When he arrived, he found that Ma Xiaoan was already busy working in the workshop.
"Why are you so early?" Xia Lei was a little surprised.
Ma Xiaoan laughed and said: "I can't sleep, if I come early to do some work, our studio will open soon, hehe, I can't wait for that day to come."
Xia Lei laughed, "I think so too. We brothers and I will work together, Lei Ma studio will definitely succeed. "
Ma Xiaoan's gaze landed on the stack of books in Xia Lei's hands, and asked curiously: "Why did you bring all these books for? What books are they? "
Xia Lei said: "They are all tools, the《 Welding Engineer Manual》, the《 Exquisite Mechanical Processing》 and so on. When the decorating master comes over later, I want to take a look."
"Can you finish reading so many books?" Ma Xiaoan's eyes were filled with doubt. Under normal circumstances, a person taking a book would be enough to read, how could it be as thick as Xia Lei's?
Xia Lei only laughed, and did not say anything. He whispered in his mind, "If you had known that I had memorized the entire English and Chinese Dictionary and English Grammar last night, would you have thought so?"
The two of them busied themselves for a while before the decorating master arrived on a tricycle with his tools and decorating materials.
According to Xia Lei's plan, the walls of the shop had to be repainted and the ceiling replaced with a new plaster board. Tools and equipment should also be rearranged to rationalize the use of space. In short, the store as a whole would be upgraded, it would no longer be the street shop of the past, it would become the powerful, tasteful studio.
If he opened up a studio and spent his time working on welding broken cars and making up for food, there would be no point in doing so. What Xia Lei wanted were higher-end orders, such as high difficulty welding, precise machine parts processing, etc. This was also the reason why he established Rema Studio.
After the decorating master entered the field to start work, Xia Lei moved a chair over and sat at the entrance to read. Since he had nothing to do, he decided to help the decorating master out.
The entire morning passed by just like that, and Xia Lei had also finished reading the two thick professional books.
Just as Xia Lei and his master was about to go to a small restaurant to eat, a red Volkswagen POLO parked on the side of the road.
Jiang Ruyi walked out of the car. Her appearance was like a cool summer scenery, a white short-sleeved T-shirt with a round collar, a black skintight short skirt, a pair of flesh-colored stockings, and black high heels.
"Why do I keep losing control of my desire to see her?" This question popped up in Xia Lei's mind once more, but he still couldn't wrap his head around it.
Ma Xiaoan clicked his tongue in admiration. He lowered his voice beside Xia Lei: "Sister-in-law's figure is so good. Looks like you won't be eating with us. "Go ahead, the future sister-in-law is the real deal. I'll be the one to greet the decorator."
"Sister-in-law, what the hell? How many times do I need to tell you before you believe me?" There's nothing going on between her and me. " Xia Lei was actually quite speechless.
Ma Xiaoan laughed mischievously, "I won't believe you even if you say it tens of thousands of times."
Xia Lei, "..."
"Thunder!" Jiang Ruyi walked over with a sweet and beautiful smile, "This is your studio? "Not bad."
"It's so-so." Xia Lei looked at her, "Don't you have to go to work today? Dressed like this. "
Jiang Ruyi replied: "The case has been solved, and the higher-ups have given me three days of leave, I'm on vacation right now. Isn't it nice of me to dress like this? "
Xia Lei laughed and said: "Yes, but he's not like the chief of police."
Jiang Ruyi rolled her eyes at him, "If you don't go to work, who will wear police uniform? Surrender? If I don't go to work, I would be a young and beautiful woman. Of course I would wear beautiful clothes, or else I would have lost my good figure. Don't you think so? "
Xia Lei thought in his heart: "That's your head, smelly."
Ma Xiaoan had a flattering smile on his face, "Sister-in-law … "Oh, hello Big Sis Jiang."
Jiang Ruyi also laughed, "Ma Xiaoan, didn't you just say that you would treat the decorator to a meal? Why are you still here? "
Ma Xiaoan, "..."
After a few seconds, Ma Xiaoan brought the decorator and disappeared from Jiang Ruyi and Xia Lei's line of sight.
Only then did Xia Lei say: "Why did you send him away?"
Jiang Ruyi laughed: If you can't take him away, how am I going to treat you to western cuisine? One more person would cost a lot of money. "
Xia Lei was startled, "I was just casually saying that, you really want to treat me to Western cuisine?"
"Of course it's true. Do you think I'm joking with you?" Jiang Ruyi held Xia Lei's hand, "Let's go, I've decided on the dining table."
Xia Lei was a little flustered, "I'm wearing such beautiful clothes, but I'm actually wearing work clothes. Isn't that inappropriate?"
"Don't worry, I've brought all of your clothes for you. They're in my car. You can change them in the car." Jiang Ruyi said.
"Huh?" Xia Lei said in shock: "How did you get my clothes?"
"Of course I'm going to your house to get it. Your sister is at home, how else would I know where your studio is?" Jiang Ruyi pushed Xia Lei forward.
Xia Lei braced himself and got on the car. On the car was indeed his suit and even his leather shoes. Jiang Ruyi was indeed a very meticulous woman.
"Take it off quickly, what are you still standing there for? Hurry and change your clothes. " Jiang Ruyi urged.
Xia Lei said embarrassedly: "You're just looking at me, how am I supposed to take it off?"
"I've seen how you look with your bare ass, what's there to be shy about?"
"That was when I was a kid, alright!?" Xia Lei's face was completely red.
"Wasn't your body when you were young?" Jiang Ruyi rolled her eyes at Xia Lei.
Xia Lei looked at her speechlessly. He wanted to say that it was good when he was young, but could it be the same now?
"Aiya, you are so troublesome. Forget it, I won't look at you anymore, okay? "Hurry up." Jiang Ruyi turned his head.
Xia Lei sighed and took off his undershirt. Jiang Ruyi was very honest, she did not turn around to look at him the entire time. Just as he was about to take off her overalls, Jiang Ruyi suddenly turned and stared at him.
"Ha ha!" Jiang Ruyi laughed happily, looking as if her evil scheme had succeeded. Then, more than half of her face immediately flushed red, and she then spat out again, "All the nutrition you eat is used at that place? Dirty! "
Xia Lei, "..."
Even as she cursed at him, her gaze never left that place.
Xia Lei was also angry, he threw caution to the wind, grabbed the rope and pretended to pull it down, while saying: "You should have brought my underwear, right? If you want to see it, I'll show it to you. "
"Pah pah pah!" I don't want to see it! Who wants to see a needle in the eye! " Jiang Ruyi was embarrassed, he turned his head too.
Xia Lei laughed. He felt that he had found Jiang Ruyi's weakness.
