Chapter 176: Lingering Fear
The sun sets late as we enter daylight saving time.
After watching the movie, I went to visit a photography exhibition that was held the day before yesterday.
Lu Yanhe was still surprised and asked: "You are actually interested in this kind of exhibition?"
Chen Siqi immediately squinted his eyes, "What, can't it?"
"Of course it's not impossible, I'm just a little surprised."
"I didn't expect that I would be interested in art? Do you think I am very artless?"
Lu Yanhe: " ..."
He shook his head silently, "I really didn't mean that."
Lu Yanhe turned his head and looked around and asked, "Is there anything you want to eat tonight?" ”
"I have to go back in the evening, otherwise Liu Wei'an will start a fight again." Chen Siqi said, "We will make an appointment next time."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
He said: "Then I will take you back."
Chen Siqi: "No, I will just ask the driver to pick me up. You can wait here with me."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
The two went to sit in a nearby cafe.
I didn’t dare to drink coffee at this time. Lu Yanhe bought a small cake, took two small forks, and ate it.
The sunset in summer is particularly spectacular.
The large area of orange-red, as if it fell from the sky and fell to pieces, covered everyone's face.
French windows will not block its invasion, but will amplify it.
The two were sitting by the window, eating cake and chatting.
Until Chen Siqi's car arrived, she said: "Then I'll leave first."
"Bye."
Chen Siqi saw that Lu Yanhe was about to get up too, so she immediately said : "Don't go out with me."
Lu Yanhe sat back down again.
"Let's go." Chen Siqi took the headphones Lu Yanhe gave her and left.
The moment she pushed open the glass door and walked out, the girl's graceful figure was immersed in the raging sunset, like a girl spirit that was annihilated and reborn.
Lu Yanhe was dazzled for a moment.
-
Lu Yanhe returned to Hong Mansion, took out the key and entered the door, but unexpectedly found that Zhou Ping'an was also there.
He was sitting on the sofa and was talking to Li Zhibai earnestly. Li Zhibai looked like he didn't accept it, and his eyes were almost raised to the sky.
Zhou Pingan glanced at Lu Yanhe with some surprise.
"Why are you still living here?" Zhou Ping'an asked this question as his first reaction.
Lu Yanhe changed his shoes and was about to speak when Li Zhibai suddenly said: "I let him live, what's wrong?"
Brother Yan looked at Zhou Ping'an and asked, A "what are you going to do to me" expression.
Zhou Pingan sighed and said: "Nothing, whatever you want, I have told you so much, do you understand?"
"No, I am the one who suffers, and Ma Zhiyuan and Ma Zhiyuan benefit Company, I won’t do this loss-making business,” Li Zhibai said directly.
Zhou Ping'an: "You are also an artist of the company. The company is really damaged. What good does it do to you?"
"It is good for you to appease my fans. It is good for you." What good do I have?" Li Zhibai retorted directly.
Zhou Ping'an: "I said, as long as you agree -"
"I don't agree." Li Zhibai's attitude was very tough, "I don't agree no matter what. You said that Ma Zhiyuan did not instigate this matter. He just suffered an unreasonable disaster. I admit it, but what about the unreasonable disaster I suffered? You are me His agent is still his agent, you haven’t If you officially take over him, you will harm my interests to protect his interests. Then when you officially take over him, won’t I have to be assigned to a new agent?”
Lu Yanhe did not go to the living room and went directly back to the room.
Li Zhibai was discussing these matters with Zhou Pingan, and it was inconvenient for him to attend.
But he chose to eavesdrop.
As soon as he returned to the room, he leaned against the door.
Zhou Ping'an said with a calm face: "Don't talk nonsense. I have been leading you since you debuted. Even if Ma Zhiyuan is taken over by me in the future, I did not lead it by myself."
" Pull them down, Lu Yanhe and Tu Song were not both taken care of by you when they debuted, and I don’t think you care much about them, I don’t believe it,” Li Zhibai said unceremoniously.
Li Zhibai's words can always make Zhou Ping'an half angry to death.
But Zhou Ping'an had nothing to do with Li Zhibai.
I really don’t know what to say.
Because Li Zhibai didn't believe anything he said.
"Then what do you want me to do before you are willing to appease your fans?" Zhou Pingan asked with a dark face.
Li Zhibai looked at him in confusion, "I won't appease my fans no matter what you do. Why should I appease them? They are fighting for me, and I still go to appease them. I have no idea. Are you sick?”
Zhou Ping’an: “If you want to keep going your own way, it’s not me but the senior management of the company. What will the boss think of you? Do you think I want to protect Ma Zhiyuan? He is one of the most popular idols in the company. He can bring tens of millions of income to the company every year. Think about it. , will the company remain indifferent? Today, the matter about you has been fermented on the Internet for a day, and his public image has been affected. If it continues like this, He will lose his endorsement and his business. Even if you are the victim, they will think that you are the perpetrator who caused the company's interests to be damaged."
Li Zhibai sneered, "Look. You've told me so much. After all, Ma Zhiyuan is more important than me, right? I'm surprised, why don't you do this? Why don't you go to Ma Zhiyuan to express your opinion? Is he dead or in a coma? Doesn't he have a Weibo to appease his fans? Why didn't he have any attitude when this happened? He apologized, but if his fans did such a thing, shouldn’t he restrain his fans?”
Although Li Zhibai was angry, angry, and seemingly indifferent, he had a clear conscience in his heart.
"I don't want to talk to you, do you think I'm just angry?" Li Zhibai continued to sneer, "One day has passed, and no one has responded or had an attitude, but you are here forcing me to give you some comfort. attitude, Zhou Pingan, I used to think you were biased I'm so vulgar, but now I realize that you really don't regard us as human beings. You might as well customize a few artificial intelligence robots to be your artists, so that they will do what you say."< br>
Zhou Pingan finally fell silent and stopped talking.
"I'm going to have dinner, you can go." Li Zhibai said, "If you are not satisfied, you are not satisfied. You can stop my work if you want. In short, let me comfort you now. Fans, it’s impossible, I won’t do that.”
After saying that, Li Zhibai picked up the phone and looked like he didn’t want to say another word to Zhou Pingan.
-
After a while, there was the sound of opening and closing the door.
Zhou Pingan is gone.
After a while, Li Zhibai's voice came lazily: "You two, come out."
Lu Yanhe opened the door and found that Yan Liang next door was also opening the door. walked out.
At this speed, Yan Liang was probably just behind the door eavesdropping just like him.
Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang smiled helplessly at each other and walked over.
Li Zhibai put the phone aside.
“Did you all hear it?”
Lu Yanhe nodded and said, “I heard it, you are very domineering.”
"I'm so angry." Li Zhibai said, "What do you think he did?"
Li Zhibai was so angry, both Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang could understand.
If it were them, they might not have the courage of Li Zhibai to confront Zhou Pingan like this, without buying into it at all.
"What did you do today? I haven't seen you since early in the morning." Li Zhibai suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Lu Yanhe, and asked.
Lu Yanhe said: “I made an appointment with my classmate.”
"Which classmate? We have been dating all day." Li Zhibai said immediately, "Oh, I know."
Lu Yanhe is really a little afraid of Li Zhibai, this guy sometimes has too keen intuition , "You don't care who I made a date with, you still care about my affairs, you should still think about what you should do Let’s do it.”
“I don’t care if I have anything to do.” Li Zhibai said, “The worst is to change a broker or a brokerage company. If something like this happens, it’s hard for me to do it.” "Lower your head? Let's have their sweet dreams." "Do you want to tell your family about this?" Yan Liang asked.
Li Zhibai said: "I have said it a long time ago. My parents have said that they support me in making troubles like this and will never compromise."
"That's good." Yan Liang said, "Your parents know about this, and they won't allow Zhou Ping'an and the others to mess around."
"Uh-huh." Li Zhibai said, "Actually, today Something interesting also happened.”
“What happened?”
Li Zhibai took out his phone and clicked on a text message, which was an anonymous number.
“Someone sent me a text message and told me an address.”
"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was a little surprised when he heard this, "What address?"
"This person said that at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon, I can get something about Ma Zhiyuan at this address."
"Something about Ma Zhiyuan?" Lu Yanhe was even more surprised, "What is it?"
" I don’t know, but thinking about it, it shouldn’t be a good thing.” Li Zhibai showed a malicious smile, “Now everyone knows that my relationship with Ma Zhiyuan is not good, so send me this message at this time. What good thing can it be?”
But Lu Yanhe was a little worried and said, “Are you going?”
"Why not go?" Li Zhibai wondered.
"If there is really something bad about Ma Zhiyuan, this person found you just to expose it through you."
"Hmm."
"You Do you want to be this shooter?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Li Zhibai: "It doesn't matter whether I want to be a shooter or not, but if you can see Ma Zhiyuan's jokes, why not?"
Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "If you decide to go, go ahead. I'll go with you to see what's there."
"Then I'll go with you, too." Yan Liang said.
"Don't you have a shooting tomorrow?" Li Zhibai asked Yan Liang, "Zhou Ping'an told you when he came just now."
"The shooting will be done at five o'clock in the afternoon, it's too late." Yan Liang said , "Just in Yuming."
"Why do you have to follow me?" Li Zhibai said helplessly.
Lu Yanhe said bluntly: "I don't worry."
Li Zhibai: "What's wrong with this?"
Lu Yanhe: "You are too impulsive."
Li Zhibai: "..."
"In case you are stimulated and have a conflict with someone on the spot, we can still put up a fight."
-
The next day, at 1:30 in the afternoon, Li Zhibai and the others went out.
Not only did Li Zhibai wear a pair of sunglasses, he also prepared a pair for Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang.
“If a fight does break out, you must not let your sunglasses fall off, otherwise it will be bad luck if someone takes photos or videos and posts them online.”
"You won't hold back and don't take action?" Lu Yanhe said speechlessly.
Li Zhibai: "You are making me go against my nature."
He generously admitted his impulsiveness and irritability.
The three people drove to Hou Shili.
Houshili was one of the most prosperous and lively areas in Yuming in the last century, but with the development of the economy, it was finally reduced to an old city that only retained its former prosperity.
The scene here is completely different.
There are also high-rise buildings and bustling crowds, but there is no too modern and technological decoration.
Li Zhibai spent a long time looking for a place to park.
Finally found Yunfeng Building and got on the elevator. Looking at the inner wall of the elevator covered with various small advertisements, Li Zhibai couldn't help complaining: "Does this person want to take me?" Are you going to trick people into killing people and get goods?”
As soon as I got to the thirteenth floor and got out of the elevator, I saw a few big words hanging on the wall in front of me: 21st Century Storage.
There is actually a front desk here.
Sitting at the front desk was a woman who looked to be about forty years old. She was a bit plump and wore heavy makeup. When she saw Lu Yanhe and the three of them coming out, her eyes instantly lit up.
"Are the three handsome guys here to deposit or pick up things?" she asked proactively.
Lu Yanhe and others were confused. They had no idea what was going on and looked at her in confusion.
“What is done here?” Lu Yanhe asked.
The woman at the front desk looked at the three of them without restraint, almost nakedly, with a hook in her eyes.
"What do you think this place is for?" she asked with an ambiguous tone.
When the three people saw this scene, their heads became big.
Li Zhibai’s cell phone finally rang again.
He quickly took out his mobile phone.
“Take, take things.” Li Zhibai’s voice was a little shaky when he spoke, “Pickup code 3627.”
When the woman at the front desk heard this, she was a little disappointed.
"Oh."
She bent down to open the drawer, took out a key from it, a long string, and took one off from the top.
"Wait for me." She walked into the corridor.
After a while, she came out holding a document bag.
"Are you really just here to pick up things?" The woman at the front desk looked at them, especially Li Zhibai, "You have no other needs."
Her eyes gradually moved downward.
Li Zhibai's face turned red as a ripe crab.
“No, no!” Li Zhibai quickly denied.
The woman at the front desk suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
"This." She handed the document bag to Li Zhibai, "Take it away."
The three people took the document bag and fled.
-
The three of them ran downstairs in one breath and breathed a sigh of relief after leaving Yunfeng Building.
Li Zhibai looked hesitant to speak, turned his head and glanced at the building behind him, then looked at Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang.
"Just now...did I think too much?"
"I don't think so."
"That's what she meant just now, right?"
A few people stood there People were sweating on the roadside in front of Yunfeng Building.
I felt a little frightened for no reason, and it took me a while to come back to my senses.
"It turned out to be just to pick up something. I thought this person would give it to me in person." Li Zhibai looked at the document bag in his hand and curled his lips.
I fell asleep yesterday and forgot to update...
