Xu Qiu watched Qi Yue hold her breath and walk away without giving up. She clapped her hands casually and prepared to go back to get her clothes and bag. Her friend followed behind and held her hand and whispered, "If you ask me, Master Chi is having an affair with that Qing Yi. Look, Qi Yue is supporting you, and that woman dares to kick him directly. Is it possible?" Isn't he covered by Chi Mu?" Xu Qiu put away the broken hair from her ears and walked out, "Don't say that, she just has a bad temper." Her friend frowned, "If she hadn't had Chi Mu's backing, would she have been able to take over that role casually? There are many people in the opera circle who are younger, more beautiful and more skilled than her. She has no stage experience, and no deep skills. Why did she win the lottery and become famous in one fell swoop?” Xu Qiu waited for the elevator and lowered her eyes without saying a word. In terms of appearance, Shen Manzhi was so beautiful that even the top beauties would envy her. In terms of her professional Peking Opera skills, the reason for the popular performance was not because of "the stunning Qing Yi kicked her ruthlessly." The hot search for "people" created momentum, which overshadowed the praise of Shen Manzhi from senior people in the industry. Her friend was partial to her in his heart and naturally listened to what she liked. Xu Qiu didn't show it on the surface and didn't explain. Seeing that she was silent, her friend hurriedly explained, "That's what they all said just now. She is a woman from out of town, and she can't be considered clean if she can get to this level in the capital. They are right. The key is that she participated in this one performance and never appeared in the public eye again, or she was not capable enough and was afraid of being exposed later. " As she said that, she leaned close to Xu Qiu's ear, "Maybe it's because she was kept by my side as my little lover, and I couldn't bear to have her come out to show her face..." Xu Qiu withdrew his friend's hand on his arm, turned around and smiled slightly, "I'm leaving first, and don't say this to anyone else. The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. I'm worried that Master Chi will hold a grudge after hearing this."
There was some ambiguity in her words between truth and falsehood. She was someone who had been around the Vanity Fair for a long time. Xu Qiu didn't explain or agree with her words. She heard what she wanted to hear, so she picked it out and spread it through other people's mouths. The friend is not stupid. On the premise of profit, clinging to Xu Qiu and gossiping about others does not seem to have any impact. This person is known as a "canary" through spreading the word. The elevator stopped on the first floor below. There were a lot of top-notch luxury cars in front of him. Xu Qiu walked for a minute before seeing He Jia's white Audi. She felt a little depressed. She got into the passenger seat and leaned over to touch the man's chin. . "Go to my house?" He Jia didn't respond and leaned over to help her fasten her seat belt. The man's profile had a very good jawline, sexy and cold, Xu Qiu was very attracted to him for this. He sat back down and said, "I'll take you back." Xu Qiu sat upright and looked out the window. She slid down a little and her coat tilted a little, revealing a half arc under the collarbone. "Guess who I just saw in there?" He Jia concentrated on driving, "Huh?" "Manzhi," her tone did not sound like she was talking to him about her friends around her in a gentle and decent manner, but with a hint of sarcasm, "I went up to say hello, but it turned out that she was with the store owner. I also asked her to have dinner with us, but she didn’t seem very happy to see me. Later, when my friend came, she even kicked my friend.” She turned her head and looked at He Jia with a smile, "When we first met, I thought she was a very withdrawn sister. Unexpectedly, she had a bad temper and was unwilling to apologize to my friend." Xu Qiu is twenty-eight, so naturally she is a few years older than Shen Manzhi, so calling her sister is not too much. He Jia pulled the car to the side and said calmly, "What did your friend say?" Xu Qiu's eyes flickered and her eyebrows raised slightly, "What do you mean?" "Manzhi would not take the initiative to hit someone," He Jia stopped the car and looked sideways at her, "What did your friend say that was too outrageous..." Xu Qiu interrupted him, "That's because she hit someone first. Why are you protecting her like that?" He Jia looked at her slightly angry expression, turned his head, and said word by word, "She is my friend, not the group of people around you who surround you and treat you like a goddess and a crush, but you will not avoid suspicion. So-called friends.” "He Jia!" Xu Qiu's face changed slightly. After all, she is a rich lady and cannot tolerate any disobedience. "Please understand, you are in a relationship with me. Is it more important to me or her?"
"what about me?" He Jia put one hand on the steering wheel and turned to look at her, with obvious disappointment in his eyes. "Am I more important, or are your friends who can ask you out every day more important?" Xu Qiu's heart paled, as if something was broken slightly but she couldn't feel it. She was disdainful in her heart, but still looked like a proud goddess on her face. "You don't need to give it away, I have plenty of people to give it to." Xu Qiu left, full of anger. He Jia didn't hold back. She saw Xu Qiu waving in the rearview mirror. The private car that had been following behind her immediately stopped and she got in without hesitation. It was someone sent by the Xu family to follow Xu Qiu. This was not the first time he had seen him. And this wasn't the first time they had quarreled. Since he followed Xu Qiu to the capital, he thought he could get closer to each other, but unexpectedly, he witnessed the beginning of parting. The ringtone of his cell phone pulled him back, it was Shen Manzhi. "Hello, Michi?" Shen Manzhi smiled happily, "Brother Jia, happy New Year." He Jia seemed to know the purpose of her call, "Tongle, Xu Qiu said he just saw you in the store. Have you returned to Beijing?" "Well, you've been back in the past two days. How is your hand recovering?" Ever since He Jia's hand was sprained, he has been recovering and unable to move instruments. He can only sing on stage. This time he came to the capital not only for Xu Qiu, but also for a review. "The doctor said that we will be fine after another half month. When are you free to have dinner together?" "I can do it, it's up to you." The two of them didn't mention a word about Xu Qiu, they just felt comfortable chatting with ordinary friends. After hanging up the phone and entering the private room, Chi Mu had already finished talking to Bai Hu about a batch of goods from the Chi family that had been switched at Jinshi Wharf. "I told Xiaobai that he will take over the dock affairs and you don't have to worry about it." Chi Mu brought her a new cup and prepared to add ice cubes to pour the wine, but Shen Manzhi waved her hand and refused. Chi Mu sat upright, "I just have an unkind invitation." "No need to discuss." Shen Manzhi leaned on the corner of the sofa, tilted his head and lit a cigarette. "Ancestor, listen to me." Chi Mu opened a video and handed it to her, "There is a very talented child. I want to praise her." After watching it, Shen Manzhi simply commented, "She has the ability, so it would be great to let her be the protagonist." "I have this intention, but people outside are not as good as me."
Chi Mu threw the Sazi in his hand on the table, Leopard. "Someone broke the news that I wanted Qing Yi, who had become famous in one fell swoop, to come back for the premiere. They said that I had a secret relationship with you and wanted to steal this child's role. I also spread rumors about many unfounded things you did in the capital..." Chi Mu chuckled, "Why is this ability to arrange scripts bigger than my imagination?" Shen Manzhi glanced at him lightly, "So?" Chi Mu smiled evilly, "Would you like a surprise?" Shen Manzhi didn't pay much attention, holding a slender lady's cigarette between his white fingers, his half-open eyes looking gloomy. "What does other people's words have to do with me?" Chi Mu was frustrated and forgot that this man never paid attention to anyone at all. "Do you still remember the old master who taught you how to sing for a month?" Shen Manzhi's fingertips trembled slightly and he raised his eyes to look at him. "She is over 60 years old. She will also come on the first day of the Lantern Festival. You know what her wish is." The master chef Chi Mu mentioned was the famous actor chef hired by Liyuanhua at a high price. He was not for fame and fortune, but only for the original intention of opera. He taught Shen Manzhi for a month as a substitute for the previous actor. After the performance, the master, who was always meticulous and serious, did not hide his admiration and praise, saying that his biggest wish was to watch her perform again. At that time, the master had just been diagnosed with chronic heart disease. Chi Mu knew that she would not be affected by other people's opinions, but she was prone to being soft-hearted about certain things. Seeing that she was a little shaken, he smiled and said, "Tomorrow I will take you to meet that child, the master's close disciple. You will definitely like her."
