The soil under the big tree in the backyard was turned over again, and Chu Mu leaned against the tree and lit a cigarette.
"What are you doing here?"
Liu Xiezi, who came out to pee, drank a lot of wine, and even his steps were wobbly.
When he came to Chu Mu, his eyes always had a hint of ill-intention.
"Smoking." Chu Mu said the word perfunctorily.
Liu Xiezi chuckled, "If you don't smoke in the house, why do you smoke here in the middle of the night?"
What they were stepping on now was a woman who had been buried not long ago.
"Can't you?"
"Okay, of course. If others can't, Uncle Chu can do it too!" Liu Xiezi teased sarcastically.
Before Chu Mu joined them, besides the boss, he was the second in command here.
But since this kid came, the boss's attitude towards him has changed a lot, and he seems to want to promote this kid, so he is becoming more and more unhappy.
"Chu Mu, I know you have saved the boss's life and are ruthless, but you are still an outsider after all. The boss gives you some good looks, but you also have to be self-aware."
Liu Xiezi burped his wine as he spoke, showing no sign of taking him seriously.
Chu Mu didn't even look at him.
Liu Xiezi was not angry either, he had even become accustomed to it.
"You actually know the little girl I met in the hotel today, right?"
Chu Mu's fingers holding the cigarette tightened slightly, and finally raised his eyelids to look at him.
"do not know."
Liu Xiezi laughed obscenely, moved closer to Chu Mu, and spoke half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Don't lie to me. I don't care whether your name is Chu Mu or Gu Feng, and I don't care what your purpose is in approaching the boss. As long as you tell me where that little girl is from and how to find her, I promise to help the boss." I won’t say a word in front of you!”
The boss has always been suspicious. If he knew that someone called Chu Mu by another name today, Chu Mu would lose his skin even if he didn't die.
"I told you I don't know you." Chu Mu still repeated the answer just now, but his voice involuntarily became louder.
Liu Xiezi didn't expect Liu Quanqiang to threaten him, but he still didn't obey obediently. He was a little doubtful whether he had guessed wrong?
"Brother, let's go out and hang out. Some of them are looking for wealth, and some are looking for power. I'm simple. I just like women. Brother really likes the little girl named Ning that he met today. As long as you help brother This time, you can ask your brother to help you with anything from now on."
If the hard one doesn't work, use the soft one. You can always pry something out of this kid's mouth.
Chu Mu's face was gloomy, "I really don't know those two women, and I also advise you not to make mistakes with women."
As soon as he finished speaking, the cigarette in his hand was thrown down at his feet and stamped out.
Not giving Liu Xiezi a chance to continue to pester him, he turned around and left.
"Hey, if you don't eat the toast, you'll be fined with wine, right? I'll tell the boss tomorrow that your origins are unknown!" Liu Xiezi stood there and cursed.
Chu Mu didn't even look back.
The next day.
Performance venue.
There was one last performance today, and everyone arrived on time.
According to yesterday's procedure, everyone first changed into costumes, put on makeup, and then waited for the performance to start.
Xu Mingyu glanced at the auditorium outside the backstage entrance and was startled.
"Director Luo, why are there so many people here today?"
The hall, which can accommodate thousands of people at the same time, is packed with seats, and there are many temporarily added seats nearby.
This scale of performance is unique for the Northeastern Art Troupe.
Luo Yi also looked over and smiled.
"Yesterday's performance was very good. I guess many people came here because of its reputation."
Xu Mingyu wiped the sweat from his forehead. Being famous is good, but it is also more stressful.
Luo Yi was already used to this kind of scene, "Should we still let Ye Ning lead the singing today?"
Xu Mingyu nodded, "Both the lead singers of the chorus are in trouble, so to be on the safe side, Ye Ning should take over."
"It just so happens that I can listen to Ye Ning's singing again today." Luo Yi is really interested in Ye Ning.
Xu Mingyu couldn't laugh anymore.
The rest of the performance went smoothly, especially when Ye Ning performed, the mood in the audience was obviously much more exciting, and even the applause was unprecedentedly enthusiastic.
He Kun was really laughing from ear to ear when he saw this scene. There were times when the Northeastern Art Troupe was so proud.
He really wanted all the other art troupes to come and see this grand occasion.
The performance ended successfully.
No one in the backstage had left yet, but there were already many people in the auditorium in front of him, and they began to take the initiative to inquire about Ye Ning's situation.
Moreover, the majority of these people are young and outstanding officers, and their purpose is self-evident.
As the captain, Xu Mingyu was directly called to the front. Ye Ning did not expect such a situation at all, and she couldn't laugh or cry.
Yu Meimei didn't know when she came to Ye Ning's side, and joked in a relaxed tone: "Don't be scared, this is the price of being famous. You don't know that every year, the people who come to me and Lixiu for a blind date can go around the capital." Circled.”
"I didn't expect it to be so exaggerated." Ye Ning said truthfully.
The scene outside reminded her of the scene at the Red Sea Dance Hall, but the guests tried their best to see her true appearance.
But no matter what their purpose is, they are destined to be unable to achieve it.
"It's not an exaggeration. Who makes you not only powerful, but also so beautiful?" Yu Meimei rarely praises girls for their beauty, and Ye Ning is one of the few. "You have to get used to it slowly in the future."
But Ye Ning's next words made Yu Meimei look shocked.
"That won't be the case any time soon because I'm married."
Ye Ning did not deliberately lower his voice when he said this. Many people in the Southwest Art Troupe also heard it, and they were all a little unbelievable.
Especially some boys who had thoughts about Ye Ning were stunned and unwilling to accept this fact.
"Are you kidding?" Yu Meimei is similar in age to Ye Ning, and she doesn't even have a boyfriend yet.
In fact, it's not surprising that Yu Meimei has such an idea. She studied abroad and then came to the Southwest Art Troupe. She is the most avant-garde in both thinking and knowledge, but the original owner Ye Ning is a native of the countryside.
Rural areas are not yet completely open-minded. There are many girls who get married at the age of eighteen or nineteen. Some are even afraid that they will not be able to find a good husband after they are over 20 years old.
"How could I joke about something like this?" Ye Ning was a little lucky at this moment. At least she had the shield of marriage, which saved her a lot of troubles and problems.
