Bao Yuanqing rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You are stupid! If you give up such a good opportunity, I don't know if it will be your turn next time."
"But..." An Ran frowned in worry. "I don't want to owe He Yifeng any favors."
"It's not like you begged him!" Bao Yuanqing curled his lips and said, "Didn't you say you want to make money to support yourself? Going abroad can make a lot of money, and it can also improve your experience level. Even if you change jobs in the future, your resume will be more beautiful.
.”
An Ran still shook his head firmly: "If you go abroad, it will be very embarrassing to travel with He Yifeng all the way."
Seeing her firm attitude, Bao Yuanqing stopped pushing. "I'll help you find some part-time jobs that make money. You can do it in your spare time."
"Well, thank you, Sister Bao."
"We both need to be so polite."
The two women left the rehearsal room together and went to have lunch.
An extremely exquisite lunch, luxurious environment, and perfect service.
Nie Qingyu ate in silence, with a cold look on his face.
Zhuo Jiaxuan, who was sitting opposite him, was a little uneasy. From time to time she raised her watery eyes to observe him, and finally couldn't help but say: "Qingyu, you are in a bad mood."
Nie Qingyu raised his head, his deep black eyes were bottomless, unable to see any waves, and his tone was calm: "No."
"But you don't even talk to me." Zhuo Jiaxuan pouted, suddenly remembering that he didn't like her coquettish look, and quickly returned to her cold persona. "...You seem to be in a bad mood."
It's really tiring to play another persona in front of him all the time. But for him, she thinks it's worth it.
Nie Qingyu put down the silver fork in his hand, picked up the red wine glass next to him, and took a sip.
This time, he didn't answer directly.
Zhuo Jiaxuan was a little uneasy. Experience and lessons told her that it was best to shut up at this time. But she was unwilling to give in. After all, he thought she was pregnant with his flesh and blood!
He should have fulfilled what he promised her!
After a long time, she put down the tableware, stretched out her hand to caress her flat belly, and whispered: "I'm full."
Nie Qingyu didn't even raise his eyebrows and directly called the waiter to pay the bill.
Zhuo Jiaxuan's beautiful face suddenly turned pale, and he didn't even bother to coax her, not even bothering to deal with it.
This showed that he was in a bad mood and just suppressed it in front of her.
She had seen him get angry, and it was terrifying. Even his life could be wiped out in a snap of his fingers.
"I...let's go." Zhuo Jiaxuan forced a smile.
"Yes." Nie Qingyu was very happy this time. He stood up gracefully and walked quickly towards the door of the box, without even taking care of the pregnant woman beside him.
Zhuo Jiaxuan's face turned even paler. She originally wanted to ask him if he had completed the divorce procedures and when he planned to marry her.
But seeing his attitude, she didn't dare to ask.
She followed him and seemed slightly relieved when she didn't see the man walking out.
After walking out of the restaurant, Zhuo Jiaxuan said softly: "Qingyu, I'm a little tired, please take me back."
"I still have some things to deal with." Nie Qingyu called the driver to see Zhuo Jiaxuan off.
Although she was very reluctant, Zhuo Jiaxuan did not dare to be presumptuous, so she had to suppress the unhappiness in her heart and got into the car. "Qingyu, remember to rest and don't be too tired."
"Yes." Nie Qingyu looked at her delicate face, and his dark ice eyes softened a bit. "I will accompany you when I have time."
After Zhuo Jiaxuan left, Nie Qingyu walked to his car.
Xiao Gao quickly opened the door and waited for Nie Qingyu to get in the car before he got in from the other side.
"President, here are all of Madam's recent investigation materials." Xiao Gao handed a bulging document bag to Nie Qingyu.
Nie Qingyu opened the document bag, took out the newly released survey results, and flipped through the pages.
All of this woman's background, life experience, family, and friends... were clearly investigated three years ago. After all, she was married into the Nie family, so of course she had to be investigated clearly.
But after three years of marriage, he didn't know much about her.
She seemed to always stay quietly in the Longhu Manor Villa. Every time he went to look for her, she was there.
He thought she had no secrets, but she proved to him with reality: even a thin piece of cotton might hide a needle.
If she dares to leave without his permission, he will definitely not forgive her!
Nie Qingyu spent more than ten minutes reading all the information in detail, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and the ice in his narrow eyes became thicker and thicker.
"He Yifeng, the son of real estate builder He Wenli... He Wenli?" He seemed a little unable to believe such a coincidence.
Xiao Gao quickly confirmed: "Yes, it's the He Wenli who was kicked out by the CEO this morning."
"Ha," Nie Qingyu chuckled, his tone full of sarcasm. "What a coincidence."
Xiao Gao didn't dare to say anything.
"I asked her why she became so courageous. It turns out she has found a new home!" Nie Qingyu gritted his teeth, his ice eyes gleaming.
Xiao Gao continued to shut up, sweating.
"Pa!" Nie Qingyu put the information on the leather seat, thought for a moment, and ordered in a cold voice: "Go to the Oriental National Music Theater!"
After a hearty meal at noon, An Ran felt much better.
Although life is still a mess, you have to pick up your mood and move on.
An Ran re-entered the theater society and decided to ask President Xu to withdraw her quota for performing abroad.
But as soon as she stepped in, she felt that the atmosphere inside was a little strange.
Everyone gathered around, but it was extremely quiet. They could only hear President Xu’s attentive voice: "...That's right, there is absolutely no problem with what Mr. Nie ordered. I will organize the musicians to rehearse right now, and I promise to get it in a week."
Produce a program that satisfies you.”
An Ran's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly denied her ridiculous conjecture. There must be many people named Nie, and it definitely couldn't be Nie Qingyu. He never came to places like theaters and orchestras, and he was not interested in musical instruments.
She remembered that one time she was practicing guzheng in the piano room at home, and he suddenly appeared.
He didn't even have the patience to listen to her finish playing a piece of music, so he directly took the guzheng away and pressed her onto the piano table.
After he returned to China, not only did he dislike her, but he also disliked the music she played.
How could such a man be interested in making a special trip to the band to customize a program?
She convinced herself and walked in.
Everyone's eyes were focused on An Ran, some were surprised, some were envious, some were jealous, some were disdainful...
An Ran was a little confused and didn't know what happened.
When she saw President Xu clearly nodding and bowing to the person he was trying to flatter, she couldn't help but slightly open her eyelashes, her eyes full of disbelief - it was really him!
Even in a noisy and noisy environment, the man's tall and muscular figure still stood out from the crowd, easily grabbing the attention of the audience.
He turned sideways to President Xu, as if he was giving some instructions. At this moment, he heard an unusual movement and slowly raised his head. Those deep black eyes passed through the crowd and fell on An Ran's pale cheeks. He glanced quickly, and then looked at him as if nothing had happened.
Move away.
An Ran reacted, turned around and wanted to run away.
"An Ran!" President Xu quickly stopped her and said happily: "You came just in time. Master Nie asked you to be responsible for the rehearsal of the new song. Come over and discuss what else needs to be added."
