Bamboo Horse Pianist III

Chapter 3 Mu Liunian's "Fiancee"

Everyone can't be liked by everyone like Renminbi, and you will encounter too many doubts in your life, but as long as you believe in yourself, you will never need to please someone who looks at you with colored eyes.

Part1
"Chu Mo, are you insane, to say you quit in front of CM Young Director!"

"That's right! Do you know how many musicians want to sign CM, that is their ultimate dream group for making music!"

As soon as Chumo came out of the conference room, Chumo was besieged by Xingguang's colleagues, and even Xia Tu couldn't help asking her: "Chumo, did you get drunk yesterday?"

"No."

"Really?"

"real!"

"What is 2 plus 3?"

"23."

"...You still say you are not stupid!"

Amid the attacks from everyone, Chumo asked puzzledly: "Why are you all speaking for Mu Liunian? He even asked you to terminate the contract, and you will soon be out of work!"

"That's because Mr. Mu has helped us find a better company?"

"..."

In Chumo's surprised eyes, someone explained, "Don't you know? Before CM terminated the contract with us, someone had specially arranged a place for a musician who signed a contract. Each of us chose the one that suits us. company, before acquiring Starlight, CM promised that all employees of Starlight Media would get better treatment."

"That's right! Although it's not a CM, it can be considered a well-known medium-sized company in City B. It's much better than staying in a small company like Xingguang!"

"Enen! President Mu helped us find a better future before he terminated the contract with us! What an ultimate caring boss!"

"Right! And he is indeed right to do so. People like me who can't bear hardships will soon be eliminated if they go to CM. It's better to stay in a small and medium-sized company and develop slowly. It's different, you are so good at playing the piano, and you are willing to endure hardships and stand hard work, and you will definitely develop better in a big company like CM!"

"Yes, yes! In the future, you will become an awesome pianist like Mr. Mu, don't forget about us!"

In the eyes of everyone, I fell into a trance and depression at the beginning and the end of my words.

She never expected that when Mu Liunian terminated the contract with these people, he would have already analyzed each person's strengths and weaknesses, helped them find a place to go, and guaranteed everyone's job prospects...

So at the meeting just now, didn't she misunderstand him?

But why didn't he say anything, didn't explain at all, and let her call him a cold person in front of so many people?

Thinking of the self-righteous angry look I had just now in the conference room...

omg...

Chumo covered her face, really wanting to kill herself with her hands.

"Chu Mo, what's the matter with you? Why is your face so red?" Xia Tu's voice was asking.

Chu Mo hurriedly covered his face: "It's okay, I'm just a little thirsty, go get a glass of water!"

After speaking, fearing that others would see her embarrassment, Chu Mo quickly walked to the tea room.

Part2
After Starlight Media was acquired by CM, the entire small company moved to CM headquarters.

CM is located on the busiest road in City B. The building has a total of 101 floors. The 101st floor is the office of the chairman and the senior management of various departments. The 100th floor is the administrative department. After Starlight Media moved, it was placed on the 99th floor. It is the department closest to the big boss except administration. It is said that Mu Liunian has announced at the high-level meeting that this department will be directly led by him.

Anyone who knows CM knows that Mu Liunian started from scratch and built it step by step for CM to have such a large scale. He set up the Starlight Team in the hope of cultivating a new generation of piano superstars within a year. This is also one of CM's annual plans.

In CM's primary selection of newcomers, both Yang Chumo and Lu Youjing were on the list, that is to say, for a long period of time, Chumo had to face her ex-boyfriend's "fiancée".This annoyed Chu and Mo, who took many buses early in the morning to report to the headquarters.

Especially when she was called to the conference room for a meeting and saw Lu Youjing sitting on Mu Liunian's right hand, her heart felt like a stone had been swallowed, and she panicked.

From today onwards, she has to face the sticky figure beside Mu Liunian every day, but the sour feeling of not being able to resign, just thinking about it makes her feel uncomfortable.

"Even if you're sad, you can't show it on your face, or you'll lose your momentum." At this moment, Zhou Bai's voice came from next to his ear, his volume was not loud, just so that she who was sitting next to her could hear it.

Looking at the past at the end of the month, Zhou Bai had already got up and introduced the remaining members of Starlight Media to Mu Liunian one by one, as if the person who spoke just now was not him.

Chumo's mood suddenly improved, yes, since you have to face it no matter what, why not be a little more unrestrained, no matter how painful it is, you can swallow it to your heart, at least you can't lose to others in terms of momentum.

So when Zhou Bai introduced her, she stood up and said calmly, "I'm Yang Chumo, and I'll be a member of CM in the future. Please give me your advice."

Being polite, confident and not annoying, Zhou Bai silently gave her a thumbs up and gave her a thumbs up.

Chu Mo gave him a smile and also gave him a thumbs up, expressing his gratitude for the reminder of that sentence just now.

The two were originally pure eye contact between friends, but it seemed ambiguous in the eyes of others.

After the meeting, the CM employees who left the meeting room couldn't help but comment after Chumo and Zhou Bai left: "That Yang Chumo and Director Zhou seem to have an unusual relationship, did you see the eyes of the two at the meeting? It's really ambiguous !"

"That's right! I heard that Starlight Media only left Yang Chumo as an artist under contract. Maybe Director Zhou intentionally left him in the name of Mr. Mu, but the media thought it was Mr. Mu's intention!"

"Maybe they are already together in private... Ah, Mr. Mu!"

In the crowd, someone suddenly noticed Mu Liunian coming out of the corner and screamed. Everyone bowed their heads in fright, their faces pale.

You know, what Mr. Mu hates the most is someone spreading gossip in the office. There was once a person who spread rumors in the company that Lu Youjing was Mr. Mu's fiancee, which caused Mr. Mu to directly fire that person, and he was not allowed to enter any company within five years. A company that cooperates with CM Group.

In city B, there are not many companies that have no business relationship with CM.

Part3
When everyone thought that his remarks just now would annoy men, he just glanced at them lightly, and walked towards the exclusive elevator without saying a word.

But just this one glance made everyone shiver at the same time, because that look was too cold.

Lu Youjing followed Mu Liunian into the elevator, and from the elevator's mirror, she took a look at Liu Nian's face.

There was no emotion on that calm and handsome face, as if the protagonist they heard just now had nothing to do with him.

But Lu Youjing knew that if Fleeting Nian really didn't care, his eyes just now would not be so cold.

She thought for a while, then smiled and said: "I didn't expect that group of employees to observe carefully. I also looked at it just now, and I think the relationship between Yang Chumo and Zhou Bai is not simple. Fleeting Years, you and Chumo are separated for a long time. Long? In such a short period of time, she found a new love, it seems that she is not as infatuated as the legend..."

Only when there are two of them, Lu Youjing will lose her "dignity" and "virtuousness" in the eyes of outsiders, and become a less weak woman.

In fact, Lu Youjing's personality is rather strong. Her family background is superior, and she has nothing she can't get since she was a child, but since she met Mu Liunian, her life seems to have encountered obstacles.

Lu Youjing grew up abroad. When she returned home in the summer of her junior year, she fell in love with Mu Liunian at first sight when she first saw him at home. Unfortunately, he already had a girlfriend named Yang Chumo at that time.

However, Lu Youjing has always been conceited and doesn't take it seriously. In her life, as long as it is a man that Lu Youjing likes, she has never failed to get it.

After returning from studying abroad, Lu Youjing started to get close to the Mu family in the name of being friends with the Mu family.

Soon, she won the favor of Mu Liunian's mother, Wei Jian'ai.

It's worth mentioning that Wei Jian'ai doesn't like Yang Chumo, so she desperately wants to break up Yang Chumo and Fleeting Years. The appearance of Lu Youjing gave her a plan - let Lu Youjing enter CM as a "fiancée".

That's why the media suddenly reported that Mu Liunian's fiancée was Lu Youjing, the daughter of his mentor, and Liu Nian's mother was behind the manipulation.

But even so, Lu Youjing, who has always been surrounded by men, stumbled with Mu Liunian. This man never paid attention to her from the first time they met. Even if she came to CM, this man never paid attention to her. Say any word to her, completely treat her as air.

But he has never resisted Wei Jian'ai's arrangement. Even if Yang Chumo threatened to break up and asked him to drive her out of CM, he still allowed her to openly and aboveboardly use the status of "Mu Liunian's fiancee" in CM at any time. Follow him.No one knew what he was thinking, he had deep affection for Yang Chumo, he would buy the useless Starlight Media for a Yang Chumo, but he would not fire a woman whom Yang Chumo regarded as a rival in love for Yang Chumo.

"Ding" the elevator reached the floor, Mu Liunian walked out of the elevator first, Lu Youjing was about to follow, but the assistant Lin Fan beside her reached out to block her way, indicating that this is Mu Liunian's private space and no one should be disturbed.

Lu Youjing stood where she was, looking at Mu Liunian's leaving back. This man was always far away from others, so you couldn't guess what he was thinking.

It's like he knew that she was by his side every day because he wanted to show off to outsiders, especially Yang Chumo, the "intimacy" and "inseparable" relationship between their fiancé and fiancee, but he never explained a word, but in the two people He was so cold and ruthless when she was there, no matter what she said or did, he couldn't arouse any reaction from him.

Part4
Since that day's meeting, I haven't seen Mu Liunian again for a long time.

CM Group has a grand lobby, which is passed by every day when you go to work.

There are six elevators in the lobby, five of them are full of people standing in front of them when they go to and from work every day, but one is empty, but there is no one in front of it.That is the special elevator for the chairman of the company.

For several days in a row, the elevator had not been touched by anyone, and it stood there quietly, as if waiting for someone to come.

I haven't seen him for so many days, and it's a lie to say that I don't miss him. Many times, I can't help but miss him when I'm practicing the piano, wondering why he hasn't appeared for so long?Are you busy with work or other things?
But soon, this kind of thinking will be shaken away by herself. Where is Mu Liunian, what is he doing, and what does it matter to her?The most important thing for her now is to practice the piano well. Among the five CM positions, she is the only one from Starlight Media. Even Zhou Bai said to her: "You are the most special among the five, and the other four are very special." From CM, only you are from Starlight Media, if you successfully stand out from the five, it will prove to everyone that CM is right to acquire Starlight Media."

Except for Zhou Bai, although the former contracted musicians of Starlight Media are scattered all over the world, they always pay attention to the beginning and end of their CM activities.Knowing that Chu and Mo were selected as one of the key training targets by CM, they all texted her to cheer her up, so she couldn't embarrass Xingguang, let alone let herself lose to anyone!
Thinking of this, she stopped thinking about it, followed the crowd to the elevator, and immediately devoted herself to piano practice.

This practice lasted a whole day, and when she stopped pressing the black and white keys at her fingertips, she realized that she was alone in the practice room.

She packed up her things and was ready to go home. In the CM lobby, she happened to meet a group of new CM colleagues who came downstairs. Seeing her, everyone was a little surprised: "Chu Mo, why are you still here? Today is the piano of the internationally renowned pianist David." Why didn't you go to the concert with Lu Youjing and the others?"

Internationally renowned pianist David is low-key and has a weird temper. He seldom holds concerts, so his piano concerts are very rare, and tickets are hard to find. This time, for the training of newcomers, CM specially bought five tickets with his relationship. Piao, when I learned about this at the beginning and end, I was extremely looking forward to it.I heard that many musicians get infinite inspiration when they hear one of David's concerts.

only……

"I stayed in the piano room all day today, and no one informed me to go to the concert." She said.

When the colleagues heard this, you look at me, I look at you, and one of them said: "At the beginning and the end, you came to CM because Mr. Mu hand-picked it... I guess... Lu Youjing must be unhappy with you, so I didn't let you go on purpose, but I saw that at noon, she personally asked the driver of the Lu family to pick up the other three people."

After finishing speaking, she winked at the others: "Did you see it too?"

"Yeah." The others nodded, "Since Lu Youjing came to CM, all the women in CM have been miserable. As long as anyone takes a second look at Mr. Mu, they will be in bad luck the next day, not because they are squeezed out by colleagues , I was wronged and stolen, and all kinds of bad luck happened to me."

"Hmm! You have to be careful at the beginning and end..."

Everyone was chattering with each other, but suddenly stopped.

I heard the sound of the boss special elevator opening. Turning around at the beginning and the end, I saw Mu Liunian coming out of the elevator. He was talking on the phone, followed by his assistant Lin Fan. When he passed by them, he didn't even lift his head. The voice was speaking in English to the person on the other end of the phone.

Mu Liunian just passed by the hall, and the few colleagues who had been gossiping just now automatically shut up, said goodbye to Chu Mo and left together.

Chu Mo looked at the backs of them leaving, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. It turned out that before she realized it, she had already been regarded as an enemy by Lu Youjing. It seems that life in CM will not be too easy in the future.

However, it was a pity to miss David's piano recital this time. After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and called Zhou Bai.

The environment on the other end of the phone was a bit noisy, Zhou Bai asked her what she wanted to do with the call.

Chu Mo asked: "I heard that David will hold two concerts in City B, and there is one left tomorrow. Is there any way for you to get tickets?"

Zhou Bai was a little surprised: "Didn't the company arrange for you to go to the scene today?"

Chu Mo curled her lips: "No one informed me."

"..." The noisy voice over there was getting farther and farther away. Zhou Bai found a quiet place, lit a cigarette, and then asked calmly, "Why? Are you excluded?"

"Probably." Chu Mo rubbed his forehead, "So can you get tickets? I've always wanted to go to David's concert. You know, every time I listen to a concert, I can be inspired."

"It's hard to get a ticket for David's concert, not to mention, since his next concert is only one day away, the tickets are already sold out, but..."

"But what?"

"However... Maybe Mu Liunian has a solution, why don't you try to find him?"

"..."

"Don't be like this...you can still be friends after breaking up..."

"..."

"Okay! Seriously, in this situation, no one in City B can get tickets except for the mayor and Mu Liunian."

"That's okay, I'm hanging up."

After Chu Mo hung up the phone, she sighed. It seemed that she had no chance with Mr. David this time.

Part5
Because she missed the concert she had been looking forward to for a long time, she was in a bad mood at the beginning and the end. She lowered her head and walked along the edge of the street to the bus station, with a huge "I'm not happy" written on her face.

As soon as she walked to the bus stop, a black Porsche stopped in front of her, the window was slowly lowered, she looked down, and it turned out to be Mu Liunian.

"Get in the car." The simple two words were not a question, but a domineering tone that could not be refused.

Chu Mo shook her head: "The bus goes directly to my house, and I can just take the bus back."

Mu Liunian didn't force her to get on the bus, but the car was still parked next to the bus stop.

A big luxury car easily attracted the attention of others. The people who were standing and waiting for the bus all looked this way curiously. Among them, a sharp-eyed person recognized the person in the car and exclaimed: "That handsome guy is Isn't it Mu Liunian?"

"Is it really Mu Liunian? How did he appear here?"

"Oh my god! My god!"

"..."

In order not to attract more people's attention, Chu Mo had no choice but to open the car door and get in, "Just put me down at the Rizhao intersection."

Without saying a word, Mu Liunian started the car and drove forward.

There was nothing to say all the way, when Chu Mo got into the car, he ordered himself not to pay too much attention to the men around him, but, the men around him were never easily ignored by others. Even if a good person doesn't say a word, he has the ability to disturb her heart.

Finally, she had to find a topic: "Are you busy recently?"

"how?"

She replied subconsciously: "I haven't seen you coming to the company much."

"Really?" He raised his eyebrows slightly, "I didn't expect you to pay attention to me."

"..."

Yang Chumo, are you a pig?Chu Mo scolded herself angrily, wouldn't it be good to let him go home quietly?You have to find something to talk about. Isn't it more embarrassing to confess to others that you have been paying attention to him these days without asking yourself?
"That's because, because you are my immediate boss." She tried to make an excuse, "I have to pay attention to you."

"Really?" Mu Liunian smiled lightly, "If that's the case, I should buy Starlight earlier so that you can focus more on me."

"..." Chumo snorted, and his tone was full of anger, "As a CM, Mr. Mu gets the attention of the media and people all over the world every day, so why should I pay attention?"

At this time, at a red light in the distance, Mu Liunian stopped the car, and he turned his head, his dark eyes like ink were faintly tired and affectionate: "Even if the people in the world are not half as good as you, you need me at the beginning and the end." Can you speak more clearly?"

Chu Mo wanted to refute, and wanted to ask him why he insisted on keeping Lu Youjing by his side, but when he opened his mouth, he was startled by the red eyes in his eyes.

I didn't look at him carefully just now, but when I met his eyes, I found that there were red threads in his eyes, and his face was a little tired.

Chu Mo still remembers that the last time he saw such a tired face, it was because CM had a problem with a large foreign company. At that time, he personally led the entire CM team to stay up for three days and three nights to solve the problem.

I have always known from the beginning to the end that CM was able to develop from a small company back then to a large company that is one of the best in China today.This time, he didn't show up in the company for several weeks, and he was so tired at this time, he must have stayed up late to work again, right?
Thinking of this, Chu Mo's heart immediately softened. She glanced at the red light in front of the car and it turned into a green light, and reminded softly: "You can drive now."

Mu Liunian glanced at her, didn't continue the topic just now, started the car and drove forward.

The car soon arrived at the Rizhao intersection. In order to escape the awkward atmosphere quickly, Chu Mo hurriedly said, "Just let me down here."

But Mu Liunian didn't stop, but turned the car around a corner and drove inside.

After driving the car all the way to an apartment building, the car stopped slowly.

Chumo looked at the familiar house and asked in a daze, "How do you know I live here?"

He heard a slightly tired voice: "Chu Mo, I know everything about you."

Chu Mo didn't say a word, because she didn't know what to say, she really didn't understand what Fleeting Nian was thinking, she obviously loved her very much, loved her so much, but she would rather let her choose to break up than dismiss Lu Youjing.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm down, unbuckled her seat belt, said "Thank you for taking me back", and was about to open the door to get out of the car when he suddenly said, "Tomorrow night I will go to David's concert, There are two spots, one is vacant, and if you want to come, meet me in the parking lot after work."

Chu Mo was taken aback, he didn't expect that he actually heard the conversation between her and her colleagues in the lobby just now...

While she was in a daze, Liu Nian said again: "Go back and rest early, good night."

"Oh..." She quickly withdrew her thoughts, answered, opened the door and got out of the car.

She was standing on the side of the road, the black Porsche passed by her and melted into the traffic, the night wind gently blew on her face, reminding her that she hadn't responded to the invitation from Fleeting Years just now.

Part6
Chu Mo went upstairs like a wandering spirit, and Mu Liunian's attitude made her feel a little overwhelmed.

I still remember the day they broke up, she asked him: "Liu Nian, do you like Lu Youjing?"

He replied without hesitation: "Chu Mo, the person I love is you."

But why don't you like to keep a woman in the scandal by your side?And gave her so many privileges, making her look like his official girlfriend.

"Since you like me, why don't you drive Lu Youjing away from you?"

He said: "Chu Mo, I can promise you anything, but this is not acceptable."

She asked him why, but he was silent.

At that moment, there was a nameless grievance and anger in her heart. He would rather keep a woman he didn't love by his side than ignore her feelings. In his heart, was she really the only woman he loved?
She was very angry, and impulsively said the word of breaking up: "Since she is so important in your heart, let's break up!"

I remember that he was slightly stunned at that time, and then said to her gently: "Mo Bao, don't make trouble." His tone was helpless, as if coaxing an ignorant child.

In private, he often calls her Mo Bao, because she is the treasure in his hands, and every time he calls her like this, it makes her feel that she has received all the pampering in the world.

But at that moment, she felt that it was so ironic to call it that, and she said: "I didn't make trouble, Fleeting Years, if you insist on letting Lu Youjing stay by your side, then I will go." She couldn't share her only love with a woman man.

Later, she really left him, rented a house outside alone, and then went to Starlight Media, and he never contacted her again.

The relationship of more than ten years does not mean that letting go can let go. During that time, every time she saw the scandal between him and Lu Youjing written on TV, magazines, and newspapers, her heart felt like being stabbed by a knife.

If Zhou Bai and Xia Tu hadn't been by her side all the time, she would not have survived.

During that time, Zhou Bai shared with her the story of his secret love every day. He had a crush on a girl since he was a child, but this girl not only never knew but also didn't remember him at all; Xia Tu talked to her every day about the man he liked before. No matter how miserable the abuse was, she still couldn't forget him, and the worse the abuse became.

The tacit comfort method of the two is to compare who is worse with her.

No one likes to show their scars to outsiders, and a good friend is the kind of person who does not hesitate to compare his scars to comfort you.

During that time, Chu Mo put all her mind on work, and on the surface it seemed that she was not so sad, but only when she suddenly woke up from a dream at midnight did she realize that the wounds she had hidden in the deepest part of her heart hurt. uncomfortable.

Just when she thought that there would really be no more contact between the two of them, he reappeared in her world on the grounds of acquiring Starlight Media. She didn't understand what he was thinking. It's hard to guess.

The next day, Chu and Mo went to work on time as usual.

The morning is a routine piano lesson, CM invited a professional piano teacher to give them piano training.

There are only five people in the classroom including Chu and Mo. When Chu and Mo came to the classroom, Lu Youjing and the other four had already arrived early, and they were discussing as follows——

"Yang Chumo didn't go to David's concert yesterday. If the teacher asked relevant questions today, how would you say she would answer?"

"Of course I can't hold it back, isn't this what Youyou wants to see?"

"Who told her to be so big and attractive as soon as she came to CM, offended Youyou, and she will have no good fruit to eat in the future!"

"Exactly! Who doesn't know that Youyou is the wife of the future CM chairman, that woman Yang Chumo, from the small and unpopular Starlight Media, who wants to climb up Mr. Mu's thigh, I can see such a woman If there are too many, it's just a flamboyant product!"

"boom--"

At this time, the door of the classroom was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and the loud sound of the door hitting the wall shocked the people in the classroom. When the four of them looked at the door, it turned out to be the protagonist of their discussion. Yang Chumo.

The anger on Chumo's face was not as expected, she walked in front of the four of them indifferently, and said, "Starlight Media is not what you call a small, low-level company, otherwise why would the CM of Nuoda buy it? it?"

"Hehe..." One of the four people who quickly recovered from the fright said, "If it wasn't a small and unpopular company, then before CM acquired it, we had never heard of Starlight Media. , not too young?"

"Does this prove that it is a small company? Why don't you say that you are ignorant?"

"..."

One sentence silenced them.

Chumo glanced at them indifferently, seeing their stupid expressions, she said to herself silently in her heart: "Yang Chumo, you did a great job!"

She turned around and walked towards the only empty seat in the classroom, but a disdainful female voice came from behind——

"You're pretty good at talking!" Lu Youjing, who has been silent all this time, sneered, "Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Starlight was just a little-known small company before it was acquired by CM. If you say we are weak and ignorant, why don't you say that you are deceiving yourself? ? If you want to prove that you didn’t squeeze into CM from a small star, you have to give some strength for everyone to see, right?”

As soon as Lu Youjing spoke, the other three seemed to have found the organization, and immediately became confident: "Yes! It is obvious that I am deceiving myself, and I have the nerve to say that others are weak and ignorant!"

"If you want to prove that Starlight Media is not a small company, you have to show your strength. Otherwise, in the eyes of everyone, you, Yang Chumo, are a person who entered CM through the back door through the relationship between CM and Mr. Mu!"

"Really?" Chu Mo bravely met the questioning eyes of the four people, "Then we will wait and see!"

After saying this, Chu Mo stopped arguing with them and sat down in her seat to prepare for class.

"Om", at this moment, the phone vibrated, and she looked over, and saw that it was a text message from Zhou Bai: "Then we will wait and see! Not bad, Xiao Chumo, you have worked hard for Starlight Media, no matter how others question you, I will be as always On your side! Come on! Baby!"

Chu Mo looked up subconsciously, but saw Zhou Bai "passing" by the door of the classroom with his colleagues with a blank face, Chu Mo looked at the word "baby" on the message, and couldn't help shivering, but his heart was still warm.

Everyone can’t be liked by everyone like Renminbi. If you are smart, others will think you are scheming; if you work hard, others will say it is your luck;People will encounter too many doubts in their life, but as long as you believe in yourself, you will never need to please someone who looks at you with colored eyes.
