Chapter 133 Joining Hands
Chapter 133 Joining Hands
Shen Qing's fingers are slender and long, with very short nails. The edges of her nails are rounded and smooth, making them look very clean. Even the tiny calluses do not detract from their beauty.
She then extended her right hand in front of Wei Hongsi, her palms outstretched, her ten fingers appearing very relaxed, yet not the kind that are forced open and tense.
"You should try it too."
Wei Hongsi raised his hand and opened his palm in the same way as her, and he could do it to a similar degree without feeling any strain.
Shen Qing then flattened her hands, her fingers naturally curved, and each of her ten fingers rose and fell independently in turn, her movements crisp and clean, without the slightest unnecessary swaying.
Wei Hongsi tried to flick her fingers, but she couldn't do it as skillfully as Wei Hongsi; her fingers would always tremble.
"I'm a little rusty!" Shen Qing said with a smile.
Wei Hongsi nodded slightly, secretly relieved.
Shen Qing checked his finger dexterity, and it was quite convincing. It could be basically confirmed that playing the electronic keyboard and guitar were his own skills, rather than skills taught from outside.
Many skills not only require the brain to have relevant memories, but also require corresponding physical conditions to support them; otherwise, it's all for nothing.
For example, a boxing champion can kill a calf with one punch. If you only have the memory of the champion's boxing techniques but don't have a strong enough body to support them, one punch will only break your bones and tendons.
However, confirming this isn't entirely a good thing, as it means his "lost" memories aren't limited to "Uncle Zhang and the whistle"; perhaps the guitar and keyboard also involve other people. This feeling of having no control over the past is certainly not something to be happy about.
Shen Qing looked into Wei Hongsi's eyes and seemed to see a hint of sadness. She comforted him, "Don't worry, you still have the foundation. With a little more practice, you should be able to regain your familiar feeling soon."
Wei Hongsi smiled slightly: "Then when I get back into the swing of things, I'll play it for you, and please give me your feedback."
"Okay." Shen Qing smiled. "The suggestions you gave me last time inspired me a lot. After I revise the piece, could you give me some feedback?"
"No problem." Wei Hongsi thought to himself, until he had earned enough contribution points to exchange for skills, he could only use the old method to "take a look" for you.
Remembering Zhang Shengyong's concerns, he said, "Your conversation with Zhou Huai will be helpful to the police in solving the case."
Shen Qing said, "Then please relay it for me. I don't want to repeat it again."
After the two had finished their conversation, Wei Hongsi went to the conference room to tell Tang Jinxia, and then everyone went to Wei Hongsi's office.
Wei Hongsi told Yuan Zhenhui that his mission was complete and he could leave.
It was almost 8:30 p.m., nearly half an hour longer than I had told Yuan Zhenhui, mainly because we talked about many other things afterward.
Wei Hongsi apologized for this, saying that although Yuan Zhenhui did not actually need to accompany him in the second half, and this was not something his job required him to do, there was still a slight mistake.
Yuan Zhenhui repeatedly said it was alright, but then became shy and did not leave immediately.
Wei Hongsi asked, "Is there anything else?"
Yuan Zhenhui said, "Manager Wei, Shen Qing is your friend, right? I think..."
"You want to take a picture with her?" Wei Hongsi suddenly realized. Ji Cheng had arranged it this way when he first met Shen Qing, which shows that this is a common request from fans when they meet celebrities.
"No, no, no, let's skip the photo," Yuan Zhenhui quickly denied. Since Shen Qing's visit today was to be kept secret, a photo was definitely inappropriate.
He stammered, "My wife is a fan of hers, and I often listen to her songs. I was wondering if I could ask her to sign my autograph."
Wei Hongsi then took him to his office and told Shen Qing about his request.
Shen Qing, who was already wearing a hat and mask, took off her mask again upon hearing this and asked, "Where do you want me to sign?"
Yuan Zhenhui immediately blushed, stammered, and was at a loss for what to do.
Wei Hongsi said, "He didn't know you were coming and wasn't prepared."
Shen Qing smiled and said, "It's okay." She spread out one hand towards Tang Jinxia.
Tang Jinxia took out a CD and an accompanying brochure from her handbag and handed them to Shen Qing along with a pen.
This is Shen Qing's first physical collector's edition CD since her debut, and Tang Jinxia always keeps some in her bag to give as gifts.
Shen Qing asked Yuan Zhenhui and his wife for their names, wrote them down on the promotional page, added a blessing, and then signed her name and wrote the date.
Wei Hongsi watched from the side and noticed that Shen Qing's handwriting was the result of hard work; it wasn't just that her signature was beautiful.
After signing, Shen Qing displayed the promotional materials and CD in front of her and asked Wei Hongsi, "Is it okay to take photos in your office?"
"I don't care," Wei Hongsi said with a smile, gently patting Yuan Zhenhui on the shoulder. "Turn on your phone."
Yuan Zhenhui handed his phone to Wei Hongsi, stood stiffly next to Shen Qing, and took a group photo. Tang Jinxia also took two photos.
Shen Qing handed the CD and promotional leaflets to Yuan Zhenhui, who thanked her repeatedly.
Shen Qing then said to Wei Hongsi, "Let's take a photo together as a testament to the start of our collaboration."
"Okay." Wei Hongsi handed his phone to Yuan Zhenhui and stood next to Shen Qing to take a photo with her.
After taking the photos, Wei Hongsi said to Yuan Zhenhui, "Professor Shen Qing will assist us in conducting a research project, which needs to be kept confidential for the time being."
Yuan Zhenhui nodded and said, "I understand." Then he bid farewell to everyone and left.
Wei Hongsi asked Zhang Shengyong and the female police officer who was with him to sit in the office for a while, and then took Shen Qing and Tang Jinxia to the underground parking lot.
After returning to his office, Wei Hongsi recounted to Zhang Shengyong the details of Shen Qing's conversation with Zhou Huai.
If this information is still insufficient to uncover Zhou Huai's original motive for approaching Shen Qing, then we may only be able to find out the truth after cracking their "circuit breaker mechanism."
Zhang Shengyong wrote down all of this information verbatim, and the trip was somewhat fruitful.
"We'll send people here tomorrow morning; my supervisor assigned this to me. We also have two public figures; how about we schedule them for tomorrow night?"
"Sure, we'll make the preparations in advance and just make sure they schedule their times differently."
After seeing the two policemen off, Wei Hongsi sent a message to Director Liang, relaying Tang Jinxia's request. He had already agreed to this matter, so he didn't need Zhang Shengyong to relay the message.
Not long after, Director Liang replied: "We will arrange it within two days."
This was about the time Wei Hongsi had expected. He felt relieved, leaned back on the sofa, and brought up the "System" panel.
Without any hesitation, I used my contribution points to upgrade my "Cognitive Restructuring" talent.
After the upgrade was completed, he didn't feel anything special and couldn't help but wonder if those 1000 contribution points had gone down the drain.
