Chapter 256 Meeting an acquaintance
The soundproofing of the box was so good that the sound of the wine spilled from the overturned bottle onto the table and dripped down the corner of the table onto Xie Tingfeng's leather shoes could be heard clearly.

The quiet and depressing atmosphere here is in stark contrast to the lively singing and dancing downstairs.

Mr. Yang's cell phone was on the table, and Wang Rui on the other end of the phone did not continue speaking after asking the question.

Lin Jie and Chen Shuangxi did not respond either. They just stood there with cold faces.

They both had cold faces, but their behaviors were different.

Lin Jie stared at the photo on the table, not knowing what he was thinking, while Chen Shuangxi beside him kept looking at Xie Tingfeng, from feet to hands to face.

Xie Tingfeng would shrink back wherever he saw her. Noticing Chen Shuangxi's eyes scrutinizing her face, Xie Tingfeng quietly lowered her head.

Xie Tingfeng's agent gritted his teeth and stood in front of Xie Tingfeng, blocking Chen Shuangxi's somewhat vicious gaze.

After seeing this scene, Mr. Yang knew that he had to speak up. He also had properties in Haojing and was very reluctant to have any contact with Wang Rui.

But if he doesn't speak up today and things really get out of hand, he will lose all his face.

He had already figured out why brothers Lin Jie and Chen Shuangxi had asked repeatedly before: Did you think this was in the past?
People like him have experienced a lot of frustrations and are always accustomed to pondering other people's words over and over again. However, he did not expect that Lin Jie's words just now were very straightforward and literal. Now that he thought it through, he had a bitter smile and a trace of unspeakable loneliness.

"Ari, I'll come over to have tea with you tomorrow."

Mr. Yang's voice was not loud and his throat seemed a little dry, but in this quiet box, Wang Rui on the other end of the phone could still hear him clearly.

Wang Rui was drinking tea at the moment, with his cell phone on the table with speakerphone turned on. He raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and instantly realized that it was probably something that the brothers Lin Jie and Chen Shuangxi had done that made the atmosphere over there a little solemn.

"Then I'll be waiting for Mr. Yang." Wang Rui put the teacup on the table and then said, "Ajie, you've brought Shuangxi back. Why are you still disturbing someone else's home?"

Until this time, no one explained to Wang Rui that Lin Jie and the others were not at Mr. Yang's house.

However, Wang Rui thought that even if he went to the door, it would not be a big deal, so he did not care about the specific situation there, and just gave a light instruction.

Lin Jie didn't say much after hearing this. He pointed to the photo on the table to Xie Tingfeng's agent, then picked up the documents and prepared to leave.

After taking two steps, he found that his men were all looking behind him. Lin Jie turned around and noticed that Chen Shuangxi did not follow him.

"Shuangxi, let's go!" Lin Jie frowned and pulled Chen Shuangxi.

Chen Shuangxi didn't rush to leave. He first glanced at Mr. Yang with disdain, then said to Xie Tingfeng, who was sitting behind her agent, "You're lucky today."

After saying that, he turned around and followed Lin Jie out.

The door of the box was opened, and music with a rhythmic and powerful beat came in.

A group of strong young men in black T-shirts followed Lin Jie and Chen Shuangxi out of the box.

The entrance to the nightclub.

Chen Shuangxi lit a cigarette, waved his hand to let his men leave, and turned to look at Lin Jie: "Do you think the uncle will be angry?"

"I don't know." Lin Jie was very frugal with his words. He shielded his eyes from the evening breeze with his hands and lit a cigarette.

Seeing that his elder brother didn't want to talk any more, Chen Shuangxi stopped wasting time, opened the car door and got into the driver's seat. After Lin Jie got in, the car roared away from the nightclub entrance.

Forty minutes later, the IUD was inserted.

The view from the third floor of the teahouse is very good, and the night scene with flashing neon lights in the distance can be seen clearly from the window.

Under the brilliant lights, the traffic is bustling and noisy. If you look closely, you can see that the busy port does not stop at night.

"It's developing so fast. Luckily, we've caught up. You say we've worked so hard to get to the table, but why is it that there are always people willing to pull our stool legs and prevent us from eating properly?"

Wang Rui withdrew his gaze from the bustling scene in the distance, picked up his teacup, sipped it, and looked at the brothers Lin Jie and Chen Shuangxi who were standing at the table with their heads lowered.

silence.

The only sound in the air was the sound of Wang Rui sipping his tea, and the faint laughter of people coming from the night market in the distance.

Lin Jie and Chen Shuangxi were silent, making Wang Rui's question seem like he was just talking to himself.

Wang Rui sipped his tea slowly, neither hurried nor slow, as if he had not spoken a word just now.

Time seemed to freeze, as if a long time had passed, and yet as if only a moment had passed.

Wang Rui finished the tea in his cup. The cup itself was very small and could only hold a few tablespoons of tea. He put the cup down, waved his hand and said gently, "You two should take a plane back to Beijing tonight."

Lin Jie was stunned. He didn't expect Wang Rui would not even mention what happened tonight. He just said a few irrelevant words and let him and his brother leave.

He was about to respond with "I understand" when he heard Chen Shuangxi beside him say, "I'm sorry, uncle, we are the ones who did the wrong thing today..."

Before Chen Shuangxi finished speaking, Wang Rui raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Ajie, slap your brother hard." Wang Rui said calmly.

Snapped! ! !
Lin Jie swung his arm and slapped Chen Shuangxi in the face, causing him to spin around.

After a while, a Five Finger Mountain appeared on Chen Shuangxi's face.

Wang Rui refilled the teacup, picked up the cup, and turned his gaze to the window again.

This time, Lin Jie and Chen Shuangxi didn't say anything. They bowed, turned around and walked downstairs, their figures gradually disappearing into the darkness.

……

……

"Pride in the face of countless waves, blood as hot as the red sun, courage as strong as iron, bones as strong as steel..."

Early in the morning, He Daqi's loud singing voice could be heard from the villa yard.

Apart from anything else, he is quite energetic.

Zhou Huimin listened to the original version of the song on her mobile phone, and recalled He Daqi's singing just now, her eyes a little confused.

She wasn't talking nonsense before. After hearing He Daqi's incessant singing, she really couldn't tell whether He Daqi's singing was good or not.

"I feel... okay." Zhou Huimin met He Daqi's gaze and shrugged.

It was obvious that her answer did not satisfy He Daqi. He Daqi muttered, "It's just okay again. You don't have any other comments besides just okay, right?"

After He Daqi's rambling, Zhou Huimin suddenly stood up from the recliner as if her Ren and Du meridians had been opened. While clapping, she looked at He Daqi sincerely and praised: "Good! Excellent! The voice of nature is so graceful and smooth. The singing is even better than the original singer!"

"roll!"

He Daqi cursed, too lazy to continue paying attention to Zhou Huimin, and turned to walk towards the villa.

Zhou Huimin chased after him with a smile, kicked He Daqi's butt in a mean way, and faced He Daqi's annoyed eyes. She took He Daqi's arm and asked with a smile: "I said you sing well, and you don't like it?"

Zhou Huimin's playful appearance annoyed He Daqi greatly. He pressed his palm against Zhou Huimin's face and pushed her aside, saying disdainfully, "Stay away from me. Why are you getting so close to me in such hot weather?"

"I do!" Zhou Huimin caught up again, put her hands on He Daqi's shoulders and jumped onto his back. Like an octopus, she wrapped her hands and feet around He Daqi.

He Daqi tried twice to pull her out but failed. Just as he was about to tickle her, the gate of the villa opened and Lin Jie and Chen Shuangxi walked in.

"Mr. He, Miss Zhou, good morning." Lin Jie greeted them.

He Daqi asked casually, "Have you finished dealing with the Xiangjiang issue?"

Before Lin Jie could respond, He Daqi saw that half of Chen Shuangxi's face was swollen.

"Fuck! Shuangxi, what's wrong with your face?" He Daqi couldn't help but swear.

"I'm allergic." Chen Shuangxi could only use half of his mouth, and his words were vague, and he couldn't even pronounce three words clearly.

"I'm fine, Lin Jie. Take your brother home to rest. Could it be that he's been in Hong Kong for too long and isn't adapting to the climate there? If not, take him to the hospital."

He Daqi was a little worried when he saw Chen Shuangxi's miserable appearance. Half of his face looked like a pig's head. Wang Rui had arranged for him to come and help him. He hoped that he would not die in the city without being able to help.

"Don't worry, Mr. He, it's just an allergy. My brother is often like this, and he's used to it. He will recover soon." Lin Jie explained.

"Then go back and have some rest. I won't be going out today."

"Okay, Mr. He, we won't bother you anymore."

After Lin Jie and Chen Shuangxi left, Zhou Huimin leaned over to He Daqi and whispered, "Why does your assistant's face look like it's been slapped?"

When she spoke, her mouth was a little close to He Daqi's ear, making He Daqi feel a little itchy. He shook his head and responded:
"It's unlikely. They both practice Hakka boxing and have competed with Qin Long and Qin Hu before. Their skills are similar. Lin Jie practices the Little Plum Blossom, and Chen Shuangxi practices the Seven-Star Mantis. Their movements are exceptionally good. If someone really hits them in the face and makes it swollen, it's unbearable..."

Before he could finish his words, He Daqi felt Zhou Huimin biting his ear, and he was so angry that he slapped her on the butt several times.

Back at the villa, Zhou's mother was sitting in the living room watching TV. Seeing Zhou Huimin lying on He Daqi and entering the house, Zhou's mother muttered to Zhou Huimin in disdain: "You are not ashamed. You let Daqi carry you on your back so early in the morning. Do you still think you are a child?"

Zhou Huimin just laughed on He Daqi's back and didn't say anything back.

He Daqi carried her back to the bedroom, facing the bed, and threatened: "Are you going to get down? If you don't, I'll lie down!"

Zhou Huimin slid off He Daqi nimbly, took off her shoes happily, rolled on the bed, and then lay down and kicked He Daqi's butt with her feet.

He Daqi didn't want to join her in the fun, so he took two slow steps and sat in front of the computer. As soon as he turned on the computer and opened Fantasy, his cell phone rang.

His cell phone was on the bedside table. Zhou Huimin picked it up and took a look. Seeing that it was Liu Ying, she picked up the phone.

As soon as the call was connected, Zhou Huimin said with a smile: "Xiao Liu, what's the matter? If it's still about the scandal between me and Da Qi, then there's no need to say anything. I will announce our relationship after the next concert."

"Um... what I want to talk about is the scandal between you two. Xie Tingfeng held a press conference this morning to apologize, saying that he had been drunk for the past few days, so he was talking nonsense. And... uh... a reporter photographed Xie Xian fighting with someone for a girl in a bar, and he broke his hand in the fight." Liu Ying's tone was a little conflicted, and she spoke hesitantly.

The last piece of news was so outrageous that it took Zhou Huimin a long time to recover.

She asked in surprise, "Xie Xian is sixty-seven this year, right?"

"Yes." Liu Ying answered and stopped talking.

Zhou Huimin found it funny at first, then was stunned.

She began to understand why Liu Ying was hesitant. Thinking of Chen Shuangxi's half-swollen face, Zhou Huimin sighed and asked, "Xiao Liu, are there some bad rumors in Hong Kong?"

"Yeah, they said you hired someone to take care of Xie Tingfeng." "I was hoping it was me who hired them. Okay, I'm hanging up now."

Zhou Huimin hung up the phone, feeling both amused and helpless. She didn't expect that the blame would be put on her.

Looking at He Daqi who was happily playing games, Zhou Huimin climbed down from the bed, pulled out a chair and sat next to He Daqi, then put her feet on He Daqi's thighs.

"Da Qi, do my feet look beautiful?" Zhou Huimin's voice became sweet.

Too familiar!
It’s so familiar!

He Daqi knew she was going to make trouble again when he heard her noise. He sighed and asked, "Xie Tingfeng has apologized, why are you still not happy?"

"When have I been unhappy? I'm in a good mood now. I'm asking you, do my feet look good?" Zhou Huimin kicked He Daqi's thighs twice.

"It's not good-looking. It's so ugly."

"I don't believe it. Just smell it. My feet are fragrant." Zhou Huimin said as she was about to lift her feet and put them close to He Daqi's face.

He Daqi stopped playing games, stood up, picked her up in a princess hug, and threw her on the bed.

Pulling out the belt, he asked, "Are you itching for trouble again? Do you think my belt looks good?"

"you dare!"

……

night.

In front of the dining table.

Watching the Filipino maid feeding the babies egg custard and how delicious it was, He Daqi prepared to touch the faces of the two little ones.

As soon as he raised his hand, he took a breath of cold air with a hissing sound.

"Daqi, what's wrong with your arm?" Zhou's mother asked with concern.

"Mom, I'm fine. I just got a stiff neck during lunch break. It will be fine after I move around." He Daqi said perfunctorily.

After saying that, he glared at Zhou Huimin. Zhou Huimin smiled and stuck out her tongue at him. He Daqi didn't want to pay attention to her. He picked up his phone and said, "I'm going out to make a call." Then he took the phone and left the villa.

Under the moonlight, He Daqi pulled up his short sleeves. There were two deep teeth marks on his shoulder. He reached out and touched it, and hissed again.

"You're born in the year of the dog, right?" He Daqi muttered in a low voice.

He turned on his cell phone and called Captain Wang.

As soon as the call was connected, before he could say anything, Captain Wang on the other end said succinctly, "Sing!"

"Pride in the face of countless waves, blood as hot as the red sun, courage as strong as iron, bones as strong as steel..."

After He Daqi finished singing, Captain Wang was silent for a long time.

He Daqi was getting impatient waiting, and when he was about to speak, the voice of Captain Wang came from his phone: "Okay, come over tomorrow afternoon and get to know the lead singer."

"okay!"

For He Daqi now, nothing could be more touching than these words, which meant that his efforts in the previous half month were not in vain.

After hanging up the phone, he clenched his fist and shouted "Yeah" in a bit of triumph, but ended up pulling the teeth marks on his shoulder, and "Yeah" turned into "Ouch".

When he returned to the villa, Zhou Huimin saw his beaming face and teased him, "What? Did you pick up money at the door?"

"Yes." He Daqi responded happily.

"Virtue!"

……

The next day, afternoon.

As usual, I picked up He Bing at the gate of the villa.

"Da Qi, this time you should apply for a temporary work permit so that I don't have to take you there every day." He Bing complained as soon as he got in the car.

"Okay." He Daqi nodded.

He also felt that it was not good to bother He Bing all the time. He was cherishing his child right now, so how could he come and drag him to the Central Bank Building every day?

The nanny car drove for half an hour and stopped in front of the Central Bank Building.

The two of them entered the elevator, and He Bing casually chatted: "Can you really sing 'A man should be self-reliant?'"

"Yes, I have been practicing at home for half a month."

"I know that. Your grandma said that every day when she went to pick up the children from your place, she always heard you yelling in the yard." He Bing joked with a smile.

"What do you mean by yelling? I was just practicing singing." He Daqi was instantly unhappy.

"Don't be angry with me, this is what your grandma said."

As they were talking, the elevator reached the twelfth floor.

Just like before, He Bing stayed at the studio door and He Daqi walked in by himself.

At this moment, Captain Wang is directing the dance on the stage.

He noticed from the corner of his eye that there was someone beside him. After giving the instructions, he turned sideways and found that it was the cheerful He Daqi.

"Are you here? Wait a moment. The lead singer just finished singing and is getting changed. I'll introduce you to him once he's done."

"okay."

He Daqi is also looking forward to it, wondering who he will be working with.

But after a while he was a little dumbfounded.

He knew the person who came, and their relationship was not very good.

"Qizi, it's you!" Cheng Long came over with a smile and patted He Daqi on the shoulder.

"Hiss! Brother, please be gentle. I have periarthritis of the shoulder." He Daqi said with a distorted expression.

Cheng Long's face looked a little strange because he found that He Daqi didn't seem to be pretending.

Suffering from frozen shoulder at such a young age?
"You two know each other? That's perfect. No need for me to introduce you. If you want to practice here, you can practice here. If you find it inconvenient here, you can find a place to practice on your own. But you have to come here two days a week, especially at the beginning of next month. You have to come every day."

When Captain Wang saw that Cheng Long knew He Daqi, he was too lazy to introduce them. To him, there was no difference between the two of them, they were both just members of the exchange group.

Things like celebrity status are of no use to Captain Wang. Anyway, if you are really amazing, you can try to hold the exchange group back when they perform abroad. Then you will know whether it is the celebrity status that is effective or his dual positions in publicity and foreign affairs that are effective.

Cheng Long and He Daqi nodded in agreement.

In fact, neither of them really wanted to rehearse in the CCTV building, but they happened to get together today, so they pulled their dancers together to discuss where it would be more convenient to rehearse.

After deciding on a training venue, He Daqi smiled and said, "I've been preparing for half a month, but I didn't expect to be your backup singer, Brother Cheng Long."

After all, they would be spending some time together day and night, so He Daqi thought it would be better for him to perform first to avoid embarrassment during rehearsals.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Long was even more enthusiastic than him. He smiled and pulled He Daqi's arm: "Knowing it's you, Qizi, I feel relieved all of a sudden. I'm not a very good singer, but with your help, I guess it won't be too embarrassing when the time comes."

"No, no, it's not my singing that's bad." He Daqi quickly said politely. He knew his own business and he had some idea of ​​his own level.

"Once you hear me sing, you'll know my level." Cheng Long was about to pat He Daqi's shoulder with a sigh on his face, but he raised his hand and paused there, then lowered it and patted He Daqi's arm.

He Daqi just thought he was being polite. How bad could the lead singer be?

However, he did not expect Cheng Long to be so polite. At this moment, He Daqi was still sighing in his heart that this elder brother lived up to his reputation and was very broad-minded. He had been so disrespectful to him at that time, but he didn't even take it to heart.

What he didn't know was that Cheng Long had received a phone call the night before, and the content of the call was to ask Cheng Long about He Daqi.

When Cheng Long heard his old friend mention Wang Rui, he immediately knew that his old friend was in trouble. After hanging up the phone, he sighed and said that even Lao Yang couldn't stand it, and he was lucky that he was steady enough at the time.

Unexpectedly, I met He Daqi at the Central Building the next day.

You're welcome, okay? Don't you plan to go back home?
He Daqi and Cheng Long had a very pleasant chat during this half day, and they felt that they had met too late. As a result, He Daqi kept looking back and waving as he walked out.

After leaving the studio, He Daqi put away his fake smile and frowned, thinking, is this big brother's enthusiasm a little too much?

"Is it done?"

He Bing was smoking in the trash can in front of the window. When he saw his nephew come out, he put out his cigarette, walked over leisurely and asked.

"Yeah." He Daqi nodded and continued, "Uncle, there's no need to apply for a temporary work permit. I've already agreed with the lead singer that we'll find a place to rehearse outside instead of here."

"Who's the lead singer?"

"Cheng Long."

"Huh?" He Bing turned around in surprise and asked with some confusion, "Didn't you have a disagreement with him? I remember reading a report that you were almost beaten up by a crowd at the Golden Elephant Ceremony."

"Can't you just hope for something good from me? Who would dare to attack me in that situation?" He Daqi asked back unhappily.

"So, there really was something unpleasant going on?"

He Daqi shook his head. "Um... Actually, it wasn't a big deal. He was taking sides at the time, but he was quite enthusiastic when we met this time. He talked to me for quite a while and even insisted on having me make a cameo appearance in his movie at the end of the year. I just felt his enthusiasm was a bit too much."

"I guess he's afraid of delaying the exchange group. He thinks you're young and impulsive, so he wants to keep you steady." He Bing said casually.

After he said that, He Daqi felt that this was a possibility. After all, he really couldn't think of any other reason. It couldn't be that he was really magnanimous, right?

Ding!
The elevator door opens.

He Daqi didn't think much and followed He Bing into the elevator.
