Chapter 377 Don’t get your clothes dirty…

After agreeing on most of the details of “Infernal Affairs”, Xu Kong returned to Beijing.

There were hardly any unexpected events during the process, mainly because Cao Bentao almost always met all of Xu Kong’s requests.

It seemed that he knew that being able to work with Xu Kong this time was a very rare opportunity.

That’s why he behaves so obediently.

……

Having just returned to the capital, Xu Kong’s original plan was to rest for a few days. After the crew was formed, he could almost directly enter the formal filming stage.

But what is overlooked is that the end of the year is the peak period for various awards.

Especially for “Sweet Honey”, the number of awards nominated is a bit exaggerated.

In addition to those from the mainland, the Golden Elephant in Hong Kong was also shortlisted.

Even the Korean film was nominated for the most prestigious awards such as Best Picture.

After counting, not counting some less well-known awards, there are just the three major domestic film awards, plus the most popular Busan International Film Festival in Korea, and so on. It is estimated that in the coming December, Xu Kong will be very busy just attending the award ceremonies.

“Are you sure you don’t want to go?”

Zhu Yu was a little surprised by Xu Kong’s words.

For Xu Kong, these film awards, at least at this stage, would be of great help to his career if he wins.

……

So when Zhu Yu heard that Xu Kong did not plan to attend the award ceremony in person, she was a little surprised.

“Too much trouble……”

Xu Kong spoke somewhat helplessly.

He is not giving up, he just really finds it troublesome.

The main reason was that this was not the first time Xu Kong had attended a similar award ceremony, and he was very familiar with the complicated procedures involved.

In addition, more importantly, Xu Kong did not want to delay the filming of “Infernal Affairs” too much.

So I just found someone to attend the award ceremony on my behalf.

“But for many of these awards, if I don’t go in person, the organizers may…”

Zhu Yu looked a little worried.

This can be considered an unspoken rule. Regardless of whether the award ceremony is fair or not, many organizers require the applicant to at least be present.

Otherwise, the person who was originally supposed to win the award might be replaced directly.

……

“Then let nature take its course.”

Xu Kong replied indifferently.

If it was when he had just traveled through time, Xu Kong would have made time to attend these so-called award ceremonies.

But now, Xu Kong actually knows better than anyone else that even if the other party does not give the award to him, it will not actually have any substantial impact.

The most important thing is that in the future, he will no longer need these awards to prove himself.

Rather, it is the organizers of these awards who need him to prove the value of the awards.

It was precisely because of this confidence that Xu Kong did not take this matter to heart.

It’s a matter of sooner or later anyway. Even if you can’t get it now, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

……

“Who do you plan to let receive the award on your behalf?”

Seeing that Xu Kong had made up his mind, Zhu Yu knew there was no need to say more.

However, after asking this question, she found that Xu Kong was staring at her.

“Wait, I definitely can’t do that!”

Zhu Yu didn’t even think about it and waved her hand in panic to refuse.

“I think you, Sister Yu, are the most suitable candidate.”

Xu Kong said with a smile.

It seemed to be premeditated.

“You can make… Zhu Yu subconsciously start thinking about candidates, but in the end it seems that there is no suitable person.”

For example, Song Youyou or Shang Yuxin, it would work.

But such occasions will inevitably lead to some unnecessary rhythms.

After all, Xu Kong had been involved in scandals with the two of them.

The other one is the assistant Guo Zihao.

But Guo Zihao is not just Xu Kong’s assistant. He is currently busy coordinating the preparations for the filming of “Infernal Affairs” with Fengxiang Pictures, and most likely he cannot spare the time.

After all the comings and goings, the only one left was Zhu Yu, Xu Kong’s nominal agent.

……

“but……”

Zhu Yu still wanted to refuse, but Xu Kong made the final decision.

“Okay, Sister Yu, you’re really the only one left.”

“Oh, by the way, this is a gift I brought you when I came back from Hong Kong.”

Xu Kong picked up a bag from under his feet.

Zhu Yu actually discovered this thing just now.

She didn’t pay much attention to it, but she didn’t expect that it was a gift from Xu Kong for her.

“open to take a look.”

Looking at Zhu Yu who was blushing with embarrassment, Xu Kong urged her.

……

Inside was a black evening dress.

“You haven’t had this idea for a long time, have you?”

Zhu Yu rolled her eyes at Xu Kong in annoyance.

Believe that everything was planned by the other party long ago.

Xu Kong quickly clarified this point:
“Definitely not!”

“I only found out about the nominations for these awards after I came back.”

“I just bought it because it seemed to be a good fit.”

On this point, Xu Kong did not lie.

In fact, Zhu Yu’s dressing style is relatively simple.

Except for some home clothes, most of them are relatively simple professional suits.

Even the styles of stockings were actually all the same, if Xu Kong hadn’t given her a lot of them later.

……

“Well, thank you anyway…”

Zhu Yu said somewhat embarrassedly.

She herself is actually the kind of person who doesn’t really understand romance.

The main reason is that although I am married and have children, I didn’t have much relationship with my ex-husband, so I don’t have much experience.

In comparison, sometimes the things Xu Kong gave were a bit… a bit embarrassing to talk about.

But overall, the other party still gave her gifts frequently.

In comparison, Zhu Yu felt that she had never given Xu Kong any gifts.

Just when she was thinking about whether she should also give something to Xu Kong, she suddenly heard Xu Kong remind her:

“Don’t you try?”

“See if it fits.”

……

“now?”

Xu Kong nodded without much change in expression.

“Of course, if it’s not suitable, we can ask someone to modify it later.”

In fact, Xu Kong could say that Zhu Yu’s figure and specific numbers had already been imprinted in his mind a long time ago.

After all, I measured it myself, so there won’t be any mistakes.

So the evening dress I bought must be a good fit.

Of course, he had his own little ideas why he asked Zhu Yu to try now.

……

“Then I…”

Zhu Yu didn’t think much about it and agreed subconsciously.

But then he realized that there was no separate rest room in his office.

Where would she change?
Guessing Xu Kong’s thoughts, Zhu Yu blushed a little.

“You…you go out for a while!”

Xu Kong nodded in agreement, but his body still didn’t move. “We are already an old married couple, Sister Yu, aren’t you doing this for nothing?”

Xu Kong had a matter-of-fact expression.

Although he knew that what the other party said was true, Xu Kong had already seen everything he should and shouldn’t see.

But she still felt a little uncomfortable.

Looking at Zhu Yu who was a little embarrassed and blushing, Xu Kong felt satisfied that his goal had been achieved.

This aspect of Sister Yu is indeed quite special, and he thinks it is the most interesting.

That is being thin-skinned. Even though the two of them already know each other well, they still blush frequently.

I have to say, it looks pretty cute.

……

“No, you better turn around first!”

Zhu Yu had just unbuttoned two buttons of her coat when she suddenly spoke.

When Xu Kong heard this, he rarely objected, but turned back obediently.

Seeing this, Zhu Yu was indeed relieved.

Then he continued to change his clothes.

But unexpectedly, just as she took off her professional OL outfit, Xu Kong turned around naturally as if he had timed it perfectly.

Then he looked at her with interest.

This made Zhu Yu subconsciously reach out to cover it, but then she realized it didn’t make any sense.

The other party had seen it so many times before.

……

“Sister Yu, I didn’t expect you to be wearing the outfit I gave you.”

“Didn’t you say before that you were embarrassed to wear it?”

“Why did you come to the company wearing this?”

Zhu Yugang convinced himself.

But then the annoying Xu Kong started to tease him again.

This made her lower her head even more, feeling a little embarrassed.

In fact, Zhu Yu’s own underwear and other things are naturally quite normal, or even quite conservative.

But later Xu Kong said that they were not good-looking, and then started giving her some.

How can I put it? These are indeed beautiful.

It’s just that… there’s just too little fabric!

When Zhu Yu saw it, she complained in her heart, who would have the nerve to wear something like this outside!
However, after hearing the news that Xu Kong was coming back from Gangcheng last night, she subconsciously changed her style today.

As for the reason, she herself was never too embarrassed to think about it.

But naturally, he still thought that Xu Kong would come to his office to find him, so he wore it.

Unexpectedly, not only was he discovered by Xu Kong, but it was also in such an embarrassing situation.

……

Afterwards, Zhu Yu sped up the pace of changing her clothes.

However, she had never worn this kind of dress before, so the faster she tried to do it, the more problems would arise.

In the end, it was Xu Kong who took the initiative to step forward to help.

Then put it on.

“Too beautiful.”

Although Zhu Yu couldn’t see what her whole body looked like, as a woman, she naturally knew that the dress was quite suitable for her.

Xu Kong’s vision is indeed good.

But before she could speak, Xu Kong continued:
“The clothes are just average.”

“I still feel like I didn’t choose a particularly good one…”

It turns out that when Xu Kong said “beautiful” just now, he was referring to her, not the clothes she gave him.

Although she knew that these were Xu Kong’s sweet words to coax her, Zhu Yu couldn’t help laughing when she saw his serious look.

……

Click!

Xu Kong took out his phone and took a picture without knowing when.

Zhu Yu suddenly became a little flustered.

She is indeed not very used to having her photo taken.

Not because I don’t like it or anything.

Moreover, when I was back home, both my family and my ex-husband said derogatory things to me.

So even though she had completely cut off ties with that side, Zhu Yu still had some inferiority complex.

Xu Kong didn’t care about that and gave the photo to Zhu Yu after taking it.

“Sister Yu, look, how’s the photo shoot?”

I have to say, I don’t know if it’s because Xu Kong is the director of the movie, although it was just a sudden snapshot just now, Xu Kong’s shot was exceptionally good.

Zhu Yu was also very satisfied after seeing it.

“good……”

Zhu Yu looked at it for quite some time, but in the end, she just said this.

……

But after Xu Kong took the phone back, she still couldn’t help but speak:
“Send it to me later…”

Xu Kong now had a clear understanding of Sister Yu’s character, so he smiled and nodded.

Everything has been laid out to this point, so it is certainly impossible for Xu Kong to stay here obediently.

While showing Zhu Yu the photos, he stayed close to her and refused to leave.

Then he began to test it very naturally.

Feeling the familiar action, Zhu Yu only protested symbolically but did not really resist.

……

“Wait…wait a minute…”

Zhu Yu couldn’t speak clearly.

The main thing is that Xu Kong never stopped.

Based on her experience, it was almost inevitable that she would have to fight this battle.

So we took this opportunity to stop it in time.

Xu Kong did not stop his movements, but asked doubtfully:
“what happened?”

Zhu Yu felt the heat and boiling hot.

Using up the last of his sanity, he spoke:
“clothing!”

“Don’t get your clothes dirty…”

Only then did Xu Kong react.

It can be seen that Zhu Yu really likes this gift I gave her.

Even at this stage, I’m still thinking about this new dress.

……

“It’s okay, at worst I can just buy a better looking one!”

Xu Kong answered casually.

What he wanted was this black dress, otherwise, it wouldn’t have that different feeling.

Besides, the arrow has been put on the string and has to be shot, so how could he waste time taking off clothes for Zhu Yu?

So Xu Kongran ignored Zhu Yu’s thoughts and chose to take a direct approach.

The process went very smoothly with almost no obstacles.

The main reason is that the enemy has long lost the ability to resist.

They didn’t surrender so quickly, they just chose to let the enemy in and take advantage of their home ground.

……

It made Xu Kong feel a little bit amused and helpless.

It’s Sister Yu, even though her brain is obviously confused and she can’t think.

But she still tried her best to hold up the hem of her dress to avoid getting it dirty.

Of course, in this case, since both hands are not free, he is almost in a state of no resistance at all.

The only thing we can do is hope that Xu Kong can be a little less excessive.

But obviously, it is impossible.

On the contrary, because he discovered this, although Xu Kong’s speed slowed down, he was still strong and powerful every time, and he tried his best to show his respect.
