After Shen Manzhi left the villa, he drove to a public hospital.
The general outpatient clinic at night was still overcrowded. Shen Manzhi sat on a bench and waited for the nurse in the outpatient clinic to finally come over from her busy work before inviting her in.
"How many times have your wounds opened?"
The little nurse took off the gauze on Shen Manzhi's waist and saw the bloody knife marks across Mei's back. She was surprised, "Why is it so deep..."
Shen Manzhi lay on the bed in the back room, with a disposable medical paper pad underneath. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "I'm sorry to bother you."
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, the little nurse lowered her head and carefully dealt with the blood scab that seeped out from the tear.
It was already ten o'clock when he came out of the hospital. Shen Manzhi wore a coat with a stand-up collar covering his chin to prevent wind, and walked to a nearby convenience store to buy a pack of cigarettes.
When she caught a glimpse of the colorful candies on the counter, her eyes froze for a moment. She took out a red ticket from her pocket and asked for a pack of ladies' cigarettes.
The boss asked for compensation, but she put it in her pocket without counting. After walking out for about ten meters, she came back and pointed to the candy tower on the counter, "Get a candy bar."
The boss rotated the sugar tower in a circle, "What does it taste like?"
Shen Manzhi's tongue slid across the canine teeth, "The pink one."
Sophora peach flavor.
Not long after Shen Manzhi returned to the hotel, a waiter came and knocked on the door. She had just changed her clothes to get ready for bed, put on her coat and walked over when she heard the voice of a man who needed a beating.
"Ancestor!"
"..."
Shen Manzhi's hand on the doorknob paused slightly, suddenly not wanting to open the door.
No one outside was invited in, so he said angrily, "Ancestor, I want to meet you..."
Shen Manzhi put on his coat, curled his lips and sneered, and opened the door. The man leaned against the door and almost fell down because he couldn't stand firm.
Seeing the cold look on the woman's half-closed eyes, Chi Mu pretended to adjust his clothes and stood up straight, coughing twice, "Good evening."
Shen Manzhi folded his arms and leaned to the side, "You see, you can get out."
Chi Mu held the door to prevent her from closing it, "Shall we talk?"
Shen Manzhi looked at him, took away the key card and closed the door behind him.
Chi Mu's eyelids twitched twice, he raised his head and looked inside the room, "It's cold outside, why don't you go inside?"
Shen Manzhi walked in front, and the word "married" finally fell back in his throat.
"I'm too lazy to spread rumors about being in the same room with a playboy."
Chi Mu: "?"
In the bright small hall, Shen Manzhi put on the blanket sent by the manager himself, and supported his chin with his hand on the sofa. He tried his best not to lean back, otherwise he would have to go to the hospital to treat the wound tomorrow, which surprised the little nurse. .
Chi Mu asked someone to bring some desserts over and looked at the listless woman, "It's really hard to meet you. If my sensible manager hadn't told you that you came to the store, I would still be at home for training. You know, My father-in-law pulls me in every now and then to talk about passing on the family business, insisting that I close that shabby theater that can’t stand up to the wall..."
Shen Manzhi was a little tired and too lazy to listen to his nonsense, "Tell me the important point."
Chi Mu immediately put aside the excuse he made up and said concisely, "There is a performance during the Lantern Festival, and I need you."
"I am not a professional, it would be more suitable for you to find seniors."
Chi Mu scratched his head, "I also hired the old actor. It's not just for one show. I also need publicity. If it weren't for you two years ago, my theater would have closed long ago. Besides, this is what you majored in in college. Don't be modest." !" Afraid that she would disagree, Chi Mu looked at her pitifully with his beautiful brows wrinkled, "Ancestor, please do your best, just for one show, can you bear to see the old man close my theater?"
Shen Manzhi looked at this playboy prince who was one year older than her but full of childishness, and didn't rush to respond.
She once joked with Zhou Mi that she had smashed a theater in the early years and gained a reputation, and was given a
Go through the back door, and the person walking up here is the young master of the Chi family.
Although Chi Mu also mingled among the second generation and had no worries about eating and drinking, he was only interested in opera. Because of his identity, countless people came to support him, but the young master did not like such flattery. He really wanted this. The quintessence of our country is carried forward.
Listening to plays, looking for roles, performing, and spending a lot of money to build a theater and form a theater, but only three or five sincere professional scholars came, either to cling to, or some of the opposite sex to get close to her through a honey trap.
How can the young master be defiled by these people? He closes the door and works alone. He sends people to the opera academy to find new talents, invites famous actors to teach, and personally checks the audience qualifications for the performance. Non-fans are not allowed to enter.
As a result, there will naturally be fewer people coming to study and watching. The Beijing-style singing on the stage is boring and boring, and only a few people in the audience are idle.
Without a famous actor, the film is not professional enough, and without a reputation among the audience, it cannot be successful, which has become a thorn in the side of the young master who wants to keep a low profile and pass on the essence of the country.
Until one day, a new recruit from the Opera Academy studied with famous actors for half a year and was on the right track to perform. However, he was punished by the school for some reasons. During that time, the school was in an uproar. Considering the reputation issue, Chi Mu decided to She reluctantly had to suspend her performance.
It was at that time that the college teacher recommended Shen Manzhi.
Of course the newcomer was not convinced that her opportunity to perform on stage was taken away from her after studying for so long. During the rehearsal the day before the performance, she and a few friends seemed to be looking for trouble, surrounding Shen Manzhi who had already changed into costumes and was listening to the teacher's lecture. , talking about her being a poor daughter in Huaicheng.
There were not many people at that time, and Chi Mu happened to be sitting at the very back, preparing to watch the rehearsal. What he heard was not very clear. He could only see the beautiful woman at the table above the stage, lazily propping up her chin, but listening attentively to the teacher next to her, as if He didn't notice the noisy group of people behind him.
It was nothing more than that he learned to stay out all night and hang out in nightclubs at a young age. He was arrogant, domineering and disrespectful. A few people put all the disgusting charges at that age on that beautiful beauty.
Everyone on and off the court seemed to be a little stunned. They wanted to step forward and pull away the irrelevant personnel, but also wanted to hear the gossip. When they were hesitating, they saw the newcomer standing at the front spitting out sweet things and pushed Shen Manzhi on the back. .
As the saying goes, a gentleman talks but does not act, otherwise the consequences will be serious.
Everyone only saw the woman in costume standing up and walking around the bench. They didn't have time to see her movements clearly. The long legs under her skirt neatly bent her knees and kicked the person three meters away. The hem of her skirt fell down. However, he stood upright and looked heroic.
With such force, everyone present could not help but stare.
Chi Mu narrowed her eyes slightly. This aura fit perfectly with the role she was going to play in the play.
The friends brought by the newcomer were also dumbfounded. They looked at the sisters a few meters away and the arrogant and domineering person in front of them. They didn't know what to make.
After a moment of hesitation, the singing voice, which was as ups and downs as the mountains and flowing water, resounded throughout the performance hall. On the stage, Tsing Yi's eyebrows were firm and proud, and the passionate details turned to euphemism and softness. In the eyes, the traces of sadness and joy after boiling were outlined.
Everyone on and off the stage was shocked.
Chi Mu touched his chin, feeling that his performance tomorrow would be a hit.
Sure enough, in the afternoon of that day, the video was circulated. The stunning woman in Tsing Yi kicked someone violently, then turned around and started singing again. With every frown and smile, she was extremely graceful and shocked everyone.
It was wrong to hit someone, so Shen Manzhi was considered to have ruined Chi Mu's situation. She admitted that she was at fault and sincerely apologized to the teacher. In order to retain the teacher, Chi Mu personally handled the matter.
After all, the newcomer was persuaded to quit due to reputation issues, so Chi Mu allowed Shen Manzhi to continue participating in the show despite the risk, but in private he stayed up all night to investigate Shen Manzhi's past in Huaicheng.
People have two ears, but they can only hear what they like to hear.
Chi Mu was glad that he blocked his ears and went to see it in person, so he kept this delicate rose for a short time.
