Turn over from love

Chapter 226 Ambush from All Sides
Staff: "What piece do you want to play?"

Lu Zhou's eyes fell on Gao Ting'an who was talking and laughing with the guests not far away.

"Since it is a birthday present for Mr. Gao, there will be no surprises if you tell it in advance."

Lu Zhou replied with a smile.

The staff in charge felt reasonable. It would be the best if Lu Zhou could fill in the vacant playing position.

He felt that this method seemed feasible, but to be on the safe side, he decided to ask a higher-level person in charge for instructions, so he went to Mr. Gao's assistant, Xiao Wu, and told the matter from beginning to end.

"Today's performance, apart from Lu Zhou's piano piece, which was specially requested by Mr. Gao, Mr. Gao didn't make any requests for the other pieces. Since Lu Zhou can play, I still plan to give Mr. Gao a gift, so let him substitute."

"Is it possible that a guzheng can play different tricks? It's fine if someone can play. As long as there are no mistakes, the basic level can be guaranteed, and it doesn't matter whoever plays it."

Mr. Gao's assistant Xiao Wu responded accordingly.

So the staff in charge of the performance group went back to make arrangements and readjusted the sequence of performances.

Lu Zhou was supposed to be the finale piano performance, but because he agreed to substitute the Guzheng performance, the staff moved the Guzheng project to the end.

The scene in the banquet hall became more and more lively, and many guests came.

There are two people chatting in a whisper, and there are groups of three or four chatting happily over wine, and the exchanges between upper-class businessmen and society are being exchanged between drinks and chips.

Zhang Chen has been looking for opportunities to wander around Ye Mingzhe, hoping to find a chance to get warm with him.

In the end, Ye Mingzhe seemed to be a communicative freak, he could chat with anyone for a while, but Zhang Chen didn't find a suitable opportunity to interrupt, but he was so depressed.

Zhang Chen wondered if Ye Mingzhe did it on purpose.

He almost wanted to run away in anger.

Who really wants to have a close relationship with your Ye family?What are you so proud of?

That's right, after my predecessor's show ended, I turned around without feeling angry and went to date a top-ranking female artist in country R, ​​so what's the matter?Who has no physical needs?

As for?With this little shit, the Ye family felt that their face was offended?

Ye Fangfei didn't take this seriously, but Ye Mingzhe, the eldest brother, was quite energetic and kept grudges for so long.

Ma De, the title of "Sister Doting Devil" really does not describe him wrongly!

If Dad didn't want to see me ease the relationship with the Ye family, I would consider you Ye Mingzhe a fart!

If it weren't for your family having a good backer, our Zhang family would have surpassed you long ago!What are you talking about.

Zhang Chen couldn't help cursing in his heart.

But no matter how much he scolds in his heart, Zhang Chen has to admit the fact that the Ye family can dominate the Zhang family at present, and his father really hopes to have the opportunity to reach a real in-depth cooperative relationship with the Ye family and continue to grow bigger and stronger.

And he grew up so big, he has no other ideals, the only goal is to be praised by his father, to be favored by his father, to catch up with the two elder brothers and become the second pillar of the Zhang family that his father considers.

Then he must mend the hole he poked due to negligence.

It is definitely impossible to marry with the Ye family, but the relationship cannot be turned into an antagonistic relationship. He has to find a way to repair this relationship.

After the analysis, the anger in Zhang Chen's heart decreased a lot.

Finally caught Ye Mingzhe at this moment, Zhang Chen hastily smiled and walked up to Ye Mingzhe holding the wine glass, and let's clink the glasses for now, regardless of 21.

"Hey, Brother Mingzhe! Long time no see." Zhang Chen greeted with a smile.

The wine glass Ye Mingzhe was holding was touched inexplicably, he froze for a while, and then slowly turned his eyes to look at Zhang Chen who appeared suddenly.

There was no smile on his expression, he looked a little serious, and his eyes swept over with a hint of awe, which made Zhang Chen feel a little uncomfortable at that moment.

Fortunately, this gaze did not last long.

"What have you been up to lately?"

Ye Mingzhe's tone seemed to be kind.

When Zhang Chen heard it, huh?Isn't the opportunity here?There is no need for him to take the initiative to substitute this topic!

"As usual, I'm just busy working on some small projects. Oh, by the way, Fang Fei and I recently collaborated on a film project, which has already started."

He said with a smile, thinking that he cut the message he wanted to convey quietly.

Sure enough, Ye Mingzhe didn't know about this, he raised his eyebrows and looked a little surprised, "Really?"

Zhang Chen nodded and began to pretend, "It seems that Fang Fei didn't tell you?"

Ye Mingzhe looked at Zhang Chen twice, and asked: "Fang Fei has never been interested in the film industry, why did she suddenly vote for this kind of project, whose movie did you vote for?"

"Lu Zhou's." Zhang Chen almost blurted out, after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong, so he changed his words: "The movie is directed by Director Wang He."

But Ye Mingzhe had already heard the word "Lu Zhou".

A smile flashed in his eyes, so it was so.

"I didn't expect you two to become a business partner instead of being a couple." Ye Mingzhe said.

Zhang Chen saw that Ye Mingzhe's complexion had softened a lot, and his aura was not so oppressive, so he secretly heaved a sigh of relief, raised his lips and said with a smile: "Yes, Fang Fei and I really had an adventure."

Ye Mingzhe didn't answer, took a sip of his wine, caught a glimpse of an acquaintance elder two or three steps away from the corner of his eye, frowned slightly, then smiled and greeted: "Uncle Chen! You're here."

As he said that, Ye Mingzhe patted Zhang Chen's arm lightly, and said, "Since you and Feifei have become partners regardless of the past, I can't say anything else. Let's talk about business. I hope you can be more prudent."

"Excuse me, I'll go talk to Uncle Chen." After speaking, Ye Mingzhe walked away.

Of course, Zhang Chen could hear the hidden meaning of Ye Mingzhe's previous words, and it was obviously a tactful warning to him not to show up again before the impulsive behavior that damaged their Ye family's reputation.

In any case, the relationship is not so rigid anymore.

Zhang Chen had no intention of socializing with the elders around him, so he ran to the leisure area.

However, the scene where he and Ye Mingzhe got close was of course observed by his two elder brothers, and it also fell into Gao Tingan's eyes.

They didn't hear what Zhang Chen and Ye Mingzhe were talking about, but seeing Zhang Chen smiling all the way through the communication, Ye Mingzhe also had a peaceful face, and there was physical contact at the end, as if the relationship was quite close?

Seeing this scene, Gao Tingan's eyes dimmed.

After all the guests arrived, the banquet officially began.

Ye Fangfei finished her socializing out of politeness and returned to Lu Zhou's side. Zhang Chen had already rushed over to be with Lu Zhou.

As soon as she approached, she heard Zhang Chen say: "What kind of monk banquet is this? I didn't say that Gao Ting'an is so boring. You should find more beauties for your birthday. You just invited a bunch of old men to do it here." What's the point of talking..."

Ye Fangfei: "Do you think that everyone is like you, thinking about beautiful car models every day..."

Zhang Chen: "???"

Inexplicably recalling the previous misunderstanding again, Lu Zhou couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Chen laughed, "Which man doesn't like to think about these things? He really doesn't think about them at all, so there must be some problems."

Lu Zhou: "..."

Ye Fangfei obviously didn't like his argument, frowned, and turned back, "You can just say you, don't represent all men."

The corners of Zhang Chen's mouth trembled twice, he glanced at Lu Zhou, shook his head and smiled, and said, "Forget it, I still won't give you a detailed science education."

Ye Fangfei was a little annoyed, and turned to look at Lu Zhou, as if she wanted him to say something.

"..." Lu Zhou inexplicably wanted to kick Zhang Chen.

"Let's talk about something serious?" Lu Zhou changed the subject and said to Zhang Chen.

"What serious business?" Zhang Chen asked.

"I think today's occasion looks like a business venue. Why don't we discuss a business at the right time?" Lu Zhou said with a smile.

Zhang Chen's expression became vigilant, "What's your plan?"

Ye Fangfei was distracted by the content of their chat, and stared at Lu Zhou with a puzzled face, thinking that he would not want to fool Zhang Chen into investing in him again, would he?

Inexplicably, she wanted to laugh, why did she vaguely feel that Lu Zhou seems to have been playing with Zhang Chen's treasury?
why?She doesn't know either.

Lu Zhou's voice sounded: "There is a relatively blank market. We have already opened up the situation. Now we want to increase investment and hope to quickly occupy a large share of the market. I don't know, are you interested?"

He made a temporary decision, he wanted to discuss business with Zhang Chen on Gao Tingan's territory aboveboard.

"What market?" Zhang Chen asked.

"The short play project that Junze and I are cooperating on is doing well, but there is a shortage of funds. If you are interested in making a little money, would you like to invest in us?"

"Will you keep me safe?"

"As an investor, you have to take some risks. I can't give you absolute guarantees this time. You can evaluate it yourself, and if you think you can enter, then you can enter. If not, then we will find a way to attract other funds. "

"Short drama...how big is the market?"

"It's not too big, it's estimated to be tens of billions in size. It depends on how many giants will divide the cake in the end. At present, we are the first one, but it may not take long before competitors, big and small, will be like after the rain. Chunsu popped up."

"Is there any good project case for me to see?" Zhang Chen became interested.

He knew that Xu Junze and Lu Zhou were cooperating on a project. Once their company opened, he went to participate in it. But at that time, he learned that it was an Internet celebrity company. He didn't think it was anything new, so he didn't pay attention to it.

After listening to it today, I realized it was a short play? ? ?This was quite different from what he had learned before.

Lu Zhou took out his phone, opened Dou Le short video and searched, then opened a short play video and handed it to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen took a glance and was stunned.

"Isn't this Li Jiayan?" He looked at Lu Zhou in astonishment.

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange feeling flashed in Ye Fangfei's heart, she frowned slightly and leaned over to take a look.

"..." Lu Zhou pursed his lips, and said, "It's her. She is now an Internet celebrity actress who has performed well in short dramas under our new film culture."

Ye Fangfei: "?!"

After Zhang Chen knew this information, his eyes widened slightly, "In other words, you are Li Jiayan's boss now? Let me go. If you want to say that you have a good time, you, Lu Zhou, have a good time."

Lu Zhou: "..." He is too lazy to explain now.

Ye Fangfei's complexion was not very good-looking.

Zhang Chen raised his eyebrows, and looked down curiously at the short play on the phone.

"No... this kind of drama can also become popular? The data is so explosive? Are you watching it?"

After watching the short video, Zhang Chen asked questions from the depths of his soul.

Lu Zhou took the phone back and said: "You are not the target user, so you can't understand why it became popular. But the fact is, this kind of short drama is popular, and we have not only had one or two popular recently, the ROI is also good."

"If you are interested, we can talk in detail then."

Lu Zhou could feel that Ye Fangfei's mood was not right, but he didn't intend to take care of her at this time, because the current environment did not allow him to do so.

The banquet officially started, Gao Tingan knocked on the wine glass to attract everyone's attention, and then began his birthday speech.

During the banquet, everyone cheered and toasted.

Friends who have a good relationship with Gao Tingan took the lead in congratulating each other, and the scene was quite lively.

The show that was invited to perform began at this time.

Accompanied by music, the guests chatted while eating, so happy.

There are repertoires specially prepared by the orchestra for the birthday atmosphere, and there are also solo performances by well-known musicians in the circle.

The performers' seats are different from those of the rest of the guests.

Even though Zhang Chen and Ye Fangfei sat and chatted with Lu Zhou before, they separated later.

Zhang Chen and his brothers sat together, and Ye Fangfei also returned to his brother's side.

The dishes are very rich, and the top chefs serve the meals, but Ye Fangfei has no appetite at all. Now her mind is full of the matter of Lu Zhou signing Li Jiayan to his cooperative company.

She ate absent-mindedly throughout the meal, and she was indifferent even when Lu Zhou played the piano.

Ye Mingzhe saw that something was wrong with her mind, and turned his head to ask her what's wrong, Ye Fangfei only lifted her spirits and replied, "I'm thinking about work".

"If you have something urgent to do at work, you can leave first." Ye Mingzhe reminded her.

This was heard by Gao Tingan who was sitting at the same table, and he smiled gently, "Feifei has work to do, right?"

Ye Fangfei looked up at Gao Tingan. She was already in a bad mood, but after hearing what he said, she suddenly had the idea of ​​leaving early.

Lu Zhou doesn't need her, he is quite used to this occasion, what money he makes and who he cooperates with seems to have been planned by himself long ago, sometimes she just eats radish and doesn't worry about it, and she is afraid that he will feel inferior and uncomfortable in this kind of occasion, I made a special trip here...

Looking back now, she was really unnecessary.

She was a little angry at the moment, so she simply went down the steps and said to Gao Ting'an, "Yes, there is something urgent, brother Ting'an, sorry, I may have to leave halfway."

"In such a hurry? Don't you leave after watching Lu Zhou's performance?" Gao Ting'an looked at her with a smile, and asked with a hint of complacency, let's see how she reacted.

"No." Ye Fangfei replied with a smile.

Gao Ting'an nodded and said, "Okay, work is important. If you have something to do, go and do it first."

Ye Fangfei tidied up, got up and left.

But before he reached the door, there was a rush of guzheng sounds in his ears.

"clank!"

Ye Fangfei's heart trembled with the sudden sound of the piano, and she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Who played it?
She was attracted by the attention, and looked back at the performance stage, only to find that Lu Zhou was no longer at the piano at some point. He was sitting in front of the guzheng at this moment, and when he raised his arm, he struck the strings twice with force. played.

The melody of the next piano sound was very urgent, and it became more and more urgent, as if every string he played was on the heartstrings of people, with a warning of danger, making people nervous along with the music.

After the tense sound of the piano, the tune changed and became softer, as if someone was secretly discussing the layout and proceeding step by step.

The rhythm in the middle seemed to be a little bit of the joy of singing and dancing, and the previous tense atmosphere dissipated, as if the previous anxiety was just an illusion, and everything was peaceful.

But an almost low whine began to imply that some danger was unconsciously shrouding, but it was not obvious at all, so low that it was almost silent, followed by a few short bursts.

Immediately afterwards, the tone changed to clank and powerful, and the strings jumped rapidly, suddenly very urgent, with a hint of sadness, danger is coming, it is approaching, as if it is coming from all directions, choking the throat.

Then there was a struggle, a fierce resistance.Finally, with two "clank" sounds, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

everything is over.

The original noise at the scene suddenly stopped from the moment the piano sound started.

The audience's attention was all focused on the direction of the stage at some point, was it their illusion?This song seems to have an indescribable murderous aura...

Gao Ting'an sat in the banquet, staring at Lu Zhou on the stage with his eyes closed, and after carefully savoring the whole piece of music, the beating in his heart was still obvious.

It's really interesting, this song obviously has a sense of nervous suffocation several times, but why does he feel so comfortable listening to it?
Because it seemed to be telling a story. In the story, the enemy was surrounded step by step until he was suffocated with no way out, but it gave him an invisible pleasure!

Good song, good song!

At the silent banquet scene, Lu Zhou got up and looked at Gao Tingan who was seated, and broke the silence with a smile:
"I improvised a song on a whim. It's a small birthday gift from me to Mr. Gao today. I don't know if I like it or not."

Gao Ting'an looked at Lu Zhou with great interest, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he took the lead in applauding.

"It's a very interesting piece of music, what's the name of this piece?" He asked.

Lu Zhou: "I haven't had time to name it yet, does Mr. Gao have any good suggestions?"

Gao Ting'an took a sip from his wine glass, with a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, he pondered for a few seconds, and then the corners of his lips curled up under everyone's gaze.

"Why don't you call it 'House of Flying Daggers', what do you think?"

Lu Zhou stared at him, then smiled, "House of Flying Daggers... It's quite appropriate, so let's call it "House of Flying Daggers"."

"You are very talented, I really like your performance today." Gao Tingan stood up and raised his glass to Lu Zhou on the stage.

The bartender was very discerning, and immediately sent Lu Zhou a glass of wine.

Lu Zhou left the guzheng seat, held up his wine glass and respected him from the air, raised his head and drank half of the glass, and caught a glimpse of Ye Fangfei's leaving back from the corner of his eye.
