Chapter 40
"Yes, he still has some criminal evidence that he has not explained clearly, and it is about matters at the border of Yuncheng."
Jingmo pointed upward with his index finger, "Si Ke is negotiating with the higher-ups, and we will probably handle it later."
Shen Manzhi looked at the things in his hands and knew clearly, "About when?"
"I guess I'll go there next year. I've been working on it for a long time, so I have to make sure everything is perfect."
Shen Manzhi put the small box in his pocket, opened the chopsticks, and said in a calm and slow tone, "I will get married on the third day of next month."
"Huh?" Jing Sue was surprised, "Aren't you going to break off the engagement?"
Bian Shu knew what she was doing during this period, "The Shen family's affairs have been settled, why do they still want to get married?"
Shen Manzhi's eyes were filled with an icy chill, remembering what Mr. Qin said last night, "I want to...find out what happened to my mother in the accident."
The two looked at each other without asking any questions.
It was the first time she understood her mother's past so clearly, and she always wanted to get closer and know more...
She must be given hope to continue going forward.
The next day, under the bulletin board of a certain teaching building on the University C campus.
Shen Manzhi was wearing a black sportswear, a mask of the same color and a baseball cap. He crossed his arms in front of him and looked at the latest punishment notice with a cold expression.
[Zhou Mei, a grade 20 student from the School of Music of our school, bribed the administrator of the school forum and maliciously spread false information and rumors on the school forum and other social platforms, which seriously affected the reputation and life of the students... It was decided to cancel the qualification for recommendation and give him a demerit. ...]
Next to it is a list of qualifications recommended by the Conservatory of Music for admission to foreign schools. Jiang Yue ranked first overall and Zhou Mei ranked second. The difference in scores was seven points, with "not meeting the conditions" marked at the back.
During New Year's Day, there were still students studying on campus, and many people were standing around.
"This is public relations, right? The woman in the photo is a young lady from a wealthy family. How can such news be allowed to spread..."
"Please look at it clearly. Isn't this something she directed and acted on her own? There is a new post on this school forum. Those intimate photos have traces of photoshop. They will do whatever it takes to get them out. What is there to sympathize with for this kind of person?"
"She posted a Green Tea apology on the forum two days ago, saying that her ignorance was taken advantage of by others and that she should not have stepped into this muddy water. She just refused to admit that she had spread rumors!"
"That's right, I'm not sincere in apologizing. I have to pretend to be a noob..."
Several girls were whispering nearby, causing people around them to join in the discussion.
Shen Manzhi took two steps back and got out of the way.
"The beauty in the photo is the eldest lady of the Shen family. Have you heard about what happened in the Finance Department in the past two days?"
"Are you talking about that Bai Fumei hooking up with the teacher?"
"Yes, that Bai Fumei is the second young lady of the Shen family."
Several girls were shocked at the same time, as if they had eaten something big.
The girl's eyes indicated, "Could it be that 'someone' really contributed to this incident, and then the retribution came to her?"
"Are these wealthy sisters exposing each other?"
"My sister's story may not be true, but my sister's story... the teacher was expelled from the school and left that day. I heard that he was married and was the son-in-law of a wealthy family in Xiangjiang."
"Let me see, that Bai Fumei is not a good person. She deliberately gets close to the teacher for the sake of academic performance, causing such ambiguity. My friends are also in the finance department. They all say this in private, but on the stage everyone pretends not to see it. Just arrived."
……
Shen Manzhi turned around and left after hearing half of it. If Zhou Mei was unwilling to apologize sincerely, then she would naturally have other ways to make her regret what she had done.
As for Shen Luo...those rumors are not groundless. No one can cover up what they have done.
The weather was extremely cold on the last day of December. She stood alone under the bus stop, wearing thin clothes, but she seemed not to feel the cold. Her hair on her temples was blown loose and fluttering on her shoulders.
In the past two years, she has been almost at the two points of Mingguan and Jingwei. She has laid out the plans to lead the way, dug out Xie Yulan's handle, grasped Shen Duanwen's weakness, and reached the current situation...
The woman lowered her eyes and twitched the corners of her lips. It was not in vain, and she lived another two years.
There is still one week until the third day of next month.
She raised her head and closed her eyes, letting the cold wind blow at her.
A street in the East District is particularly lively on New Year’s Eve.
The teahouse was no exception. The venue was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the atmosphere was perfect. The venue was full, but the music tonight was somewhat inappropriate.
【Who am I in your eyes? who do you want me to replace ……
who are you in my eyes
Occupying the feeling of being loved
...]
"It's not okay to do this as soon as Jiang Zai comes back. He has everyone in the restaurant singing emo."
A Fei sat at the bar, resting his hand on the table to support his chin, watching the people in the restaurant become inexplicably depressed.
"Tonight is New Year's Eve. Let's go up and do something exciting later."
Chen Lin pursed his lips and took the words, "Excuse me, the crazy rock singer, what will you sing tonight?"
"I am in the active atmosphere group, thank you."
A Fei caught a glimpse of the person walking towards the lounge, and his eyes lit up, "Sister Zhi is here, let's take a walk."
The two of them bypassed the crowd and followed into the lounge.
Shen Manzhi brought a big bag over, and the two little ones who came looking for the sound were surprised when they saw the package, "Is there an event tonight?"
The woman took off her hat and spread her long hair, and her seaweed-like black hair covered her thin back. "Well, I told Jiang Zai in advance, and it can be regarded as... a gift for his return."
According to the past, the Mingguan will send out notices in advance for any events, "but no event notices were sent out..."
A Fei smiled and patted Chen Lin on the shoulder, "Aren't there enough people tonight?"
Shen Manzhi opened the package and took out a pair of beautiful black oak drum sticks, each with a crescent moon engraved on the red leather case.
She took off her coat, looked up at A Fei, and said with a smile, "I leave the field control to you."
Ah Fei raised his hand and snapped his fingers, expecting it for a long time, "No problem!"
The atmosphere in the hall became quiet and gentle due to the song just now. Suddenly the typhoon changed, and the familiar drum beat gradually surrounded the entire venue. Some people even shouted the name of the song excitedly.
The moment the lazy low smoke voice came out, the whole audience exclaimed in low voices.
"This is too poisonous, my God!"
"I actually heard the rebellious boss singing "Hush" here. The cigarette voice of a mature man is really terrible. Who knows~"
……
The original melancholy atmosphere dissipated instantly, and no one could resist the psychedelic and sexy bewitching music.
He Jia was sitting on a high stool in the center of the stage, eyes half lowered, her sexy smoking voice and seductive smile capturing every young man and woman present.
The lights changed into colorful dark lights, and the atmosphere instantly became ambiguous.
After a short chorus ended, the main melody followed, and the soft, low-pitched and slightly tipsy female voice hit the eardrums casually. It was like a surprise that was hit in the heart, causing another climax.
Everyone looked towards the center of the stage, but could only hear his voice but not see his person.
"My sister's voice is so seductive. I want to be taken away by her..."
"Where is he? I posted a novel and he wants to read it too!"
...The center light of the stage only falls on the man, and the surrounding area is dim. But if you look closely, you can see the blurry figure of a woman holding a microphone on the drum kit in the back corner. Her cold voice has a low and seductive tone. sense of temptation.
It's like you can see a charming woman biting a rose in the dim night, her figure swaying and bewitching everyone who passes by.
"Is this a midnight show for adults? Come if you have anything else, I'm so cute with the beautiful and handsome guys in the Ming Pavilion!"
"I came here specifically to stay at the tea house on New Year's Eve. The atmosphere is really alluring. I thought that the song that Nai Dog sang just now would be the tone of the night. Master Jia, you really know how to do it..."
The man's hoarse voice is ambiguously mixed with the sexy and lazy female voice, and the music is diffused in the last hush of the woman.
Then the venue exploded with a "bang" sound, five-colored paper fluttered in the air with gorgeous lights, and the center light suddenly illuminated the stage.
The woman on the drum set raised her head and chuckled, lowered her arms, and the crisp drumming sound sounded along with the field-controlled music, which suddenly attracted the attention of the entire audience.
Milk Dog, who was singing sad love songs just now, came on the stage holding a bass guitar, and followed the cool drum beat smoothly into a rock music that exploded in the audience.
The atmosphere of the venue was instantly ignited, entering a real New Year's Eve carnival.
Ah Fei adjusted the music, took the drink from the bartender, and squinted slightly at the heroic woman playing drums on the stage.
The porcelain white skin becomes more dazzling under the light, and the light smoky makeup brings out the woman's charming and lazy feeling.
"Sister Zhi is really beautiful. I can imagine that there will be many people surrounding her asking for her contact information."
Chen Lin chuckled, "Don't say anything, Jiang Zai will be unhappy again later."
"Tsk," A Fei looked at the high-spirited young man on the stage jokingly, "The one who is near the water and the tower first gets the moon. Jiang Zai doesn't know how to be sure..."
Chen Lin followed him outside, "Sister Zhi is engaged, didn't you know?"
"Hold the grass," Ah Fei scratched his head, "I almost forgot..."
He looked back at Jiang Zai in the center of the field. The young man closed his eyes and felt the beating rhythm, and his long white knuckles moved the strings to the beat of the drum.
Although such passionate rock music was playing, he actually saw loneliness in the young man's slightly bent body.
After the stage music ended, the lights suddenly dimmed and turned into colorful lights. Shen Manzhi put away his drum sticks and walked directly backstage, avoiding the young men and women who were in the mood to dance on the stage.
Jiang Zai also took off the bass. He took two steps slower and was surrounded by girls on the stage asking for their contact information.
In the small attic on the second floor, Shen Manzhi sat on the sofa, lowered his head and carefully wiped the drum sticks, put his coat in a dust bag and went downstairs.
There is a door out of the cubicle that leads directly to the small square behind. He Jia and others are already waiting below.
On New Year's Eve, she usually eats with this group of people.
Ah Fei raised his chin towards the stadium, "Jiang Zai is still being pestered inside, I asked Lin Lin to go in and drag him away."
Shen Manzhi chuckled and put on his coat, "I'll drive first."
She drove here tonight. There was a huge flow of people here at night, and her car could only be parked on the outside of the streets in the East District.
When He Jia and others came over slowly, she was leaning against the car, lowering her head, blocking the wind with her hands and lighting a cigarette.
"Sister Zhi!"
A Fei's voice was as thunderous as ever, making her fingertips tremble.
She raised her eyes and looked quietly.
The woman wore fox-shaped smoky makeup tonight, showing a hint of lazy pure desire in her coolness.
Ah Fei walked up quickly, and she had to take back the lighter. She held the cigarette between her fingers and carried it behind her back. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "You better be fine."
He rarely showed a pitiful expression, "Can we have hot pot tonight? I've been busy preparing for the New Year's Eve in the store these days. I'm so hungry..."
There was a smile in Shen Manzhi's beautiful eyes, "Okay, I'll eat the spicy food."
"..."
A Fei's expression fell instantly, "Then...then I won't sit at the same table with you."
He Jia ruffled A Fei's hair and added, "We all eat spicy food, so you sit at a table by yourself."
Chen Lin walked past him and followed Jia Ge's car, "It's the children's table."
"..."
Jiang Yue walked at the end, watching several people talking and laughing, until Ah Fei went around He Jia's car and walked next to Shen Manzhi.
The woman stretched out her hand and waved to him, "You take Brother Jia's car, I'll go there later."
Jiang Yue looked at the hand holding the cigarette at her side and pursed his lips, "Sister."
Shen Manzhi's expression was frozen, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked up casually, "What's wrong?"
The young man was as cold as usual and said, "Your voice is a bit hoarse tonight, so smoke less."
After saying that, he obediently turned around and went to He Jia's car.
In the past, when they went out to eat together, he would always take her car.
Shen Manzhi lowered his eyes and looked at the slender cigarette in his hand, ready to smoke one before leaving.
She bent her fingers slightly and broke them, then took two steps and threw them into the trash can.
Sitting in the car, she took out a wet wipe to wipe her hands. The call came in. She glanced at it and saw that it was Qin Yanfeng's.
The phone was connected to the car stereo. She started the car and moved the steering wheel out of the parking space. A cold and hoarse voice surrounded the car, "What's the matter?"
"You agree to get married?"
The man's tone was casual, with a hint of nonchalance, and the slightly noisy background sound was accompanied by the sound of a lighter lighting up.
"Well, do you have an opinion?"
"Don't dare."
"..."
What she actually means is: If you don't agree, you can talk about it elsewhere...
Forget it, she was rarely happy tonight.
"what do you wish to ask?"
The man seemed to have moved to a quiet place, and his voice was calm and elegant, "There is still a week left. Logically speaking, we should find a time to meet the parents. Of course, the current Shen family does not count."
Shen Manzhi suddenly smiled. The news spread quite quickly, "Tomorrow is Friday, I have time."
"Okay, I'll pick you up?"
"Well, I'll call you tomorrow, I'm driving."
The traffic section of the main road was very busy tonight, so she turned around and walked to another road.
The man responded, left the words "be safe" and hung up the phone.
Qin Yanfeng stood in the corridor and leaned against the wall to finish smoking. Just as he was about to go in, Zhou Mi chased him out.
She waved her cell phone at him, her angry face lit up, "Brother Yan, my sister-in-law is on the hot search."
The top trending word in the city’s hot search list: seductive fox beauty #New Year’s Eve Clicking on the link showed a video. In a dark bar, a woman's seductive and sexy voice came out, but she could only hear her voice but not see her.
The half-minute music ended abruptly with the last soft hush, and the heavy metal rock music came with the drum beat of the woman, fixed on her bright and dazzling face, which was heart-stirring.
