Bamboo Horse Pianist III

Chapter 4 What You Don't Know
When do you feel most secure?Become a sufficiently strong and outstanding Yang Chumo, and own Mu Liunian.

Part1
When there were 5 minutes before work, Chumo decided to go to David's piano concert with Mu Liunian. Firstly, it was a rare opportunity to hear David's piano concert; secondly, there was an element of anger with Lu Youjing In it, even if the media rumored that she was Mu Liunian's fiancée, but Mu Liunian himself never admitted it himself, how could she, Lu Youjing, show off so much in CM?
Thinking of this, Chu Mo immediately packed up her things and rushed to the parking lot.

When Zen Mo arrived at the elevator entrance, the place was already crowded with other colleagues, including Zhou Bai. When he saw her coming, he greeted her like an old acquaintance.

Although Zhou Bai came from Starlight Media like her, his treatment was obviously different from hers.

Zhou Bai entered CM from the very first day, and he was very popular with single young women in CM. Zhou Bai was not very handsome, but he had a refined and noble air from top to bottom. Compared with the alienation and arrogance of fleeting years, a man like him is easier to get close to.

People are always like this, since they know that they can't get the best ones, they will take the second place and choose the ones that suit them, so Zhou Bai's popularity in CM Group is still very strong.

The elevator went straight down to the first floor, and after colleagues went out one by one, Zhou Bai glanced at Chu Mo, who was not moving around him, and asked, "Go to the first floor?"

"Hmm." Chu Mo nodded.

"Are you dating your ex-boyfriend?"

"..." Chu Mo gave him a blank look, but said nothing.

The elevator reached the B[-] floor with a "ding" sound, and when Chu and Wan got out of the elevator, Zhou Bai patted her on the shoulder meaningfully: "Date well! The future of Starlight Media depends on you."

Beginning and end: "..."

When Chu Mo walked to the parking lot, he saw a black Porsche parked not far away. There were only four cars parked in the parking lot on this floor, one was a white Cayenne, one was a black Bentley, and a The first is a Lamborghini, the other is a Porsche, and all four are driven by Mu Liunian.

Chu Mo looked at those brand-name LOGOs, and hummed twice, being rich is self-willed, buying a car is like buying a toy.

"Ding", the sound of the elevator sounded behind him, the elevator door opened, and when he turned around at the beginning and the end, he met Mu Liunian in the elevator.

He was still answering the phone, followed by two assistants. After answering one call, Lin Fan, one of the assistants behind him, handed him another phone to answer.

At the end of the day, I thought to myself, why is he answering the phone every time I see him?How busy are you?
She heard him talking to the people over there in German, and when he passed by her, he took her hand naturally and walked towards the car.

Chumo subconsciously wanted to pull it back, but Mu Liunian held it tightly, and there was no chance for her to break free.

Chu Mo glanced awkwardly at the assistant behind him, and the two men in suits and leather shoes still kept their eyes on each other, as if they didn't see him.

Chumo saw that the person holding her was busy answering the phone, so she couldn't get entangled in such an ambiguous way of holding hands. Anyway, there was no one else in the parking lot, so she let him go.

When he was about to get into the car, Liu Nian hung up the phone. Lin Fan stepped forward to answer the phone, and then asked, "Mr. Mu, why don't you...let me drive for you?"

"No need." Liu Nian personally opened the door of the passenger seat, let Chu Mo in, walked around to the other side, and sat in the driver's seat.

Chu Mo watched him start the car and drive towards the exit. Behind him, Lin Fan quickly got into another car and followed the car at a not too far away.

Part2
On the way to the concert site, the car was extremely quiet.

Mu Liunian never talked much, this time, he didn't actively find topics to enliven the atmosphere.

When they arrived at the scene, Chu Mo followed Liu Nian all the time and watched him go backstage. Not far away, a group of people were discussing something around the piano. Seeing Fleeting Nian, they all greeted him warmly, as if they had known each other for a long time good friend.

Fleeting talked with them in English for a while, and Chu Mo stood not far away and watched.

Afterwards, Liu Nian pointed at a man with a big beard and pointed at her not far away, and said a long paragraph in English, the man nodded, showing approval to Chu Mo, and then followed Liu Nian to Chu Mo before.

Chu Mo had only seen David on the screen. At this moment, the master pianist was standing in front of her, and he extended his hand friendly and said in Chinese: "Ni Hao."

Let her lose consciousness for a moment, she stretched out her hand like a dream, and then said: "Hello."

David saw the first and last reactions in his eyes, smiled and said to Liu Nian in not-so-fluent Chinese: "Mu, your little girlfriend is very innocent and cute. Look, my appearance seems to frighten her."

Mu Liunian glanced at Chu Mo with a smile, and said, "That's because you are the pianist she admires the most."

David took out a piece of paper from his pocket, wrote a series of numbers on it, and handed it to Chumo, saying: "Mu's little girlfriend, this is my contact information. If you want to come to my concert in the future, just Give me a call, and I will reserve two best positions for you and Mu at any time."

From David's appearance to Chumo's departure after he handed over his contact information, Chumo was like sleepwalking during the whole process.

Until Mu Liunian reminded her: "The concert is about to start, let's go there first..."

She just came back to her senses.

Fleeting Nian looked at her silly look, the corners of her lips curled slightly, the busyness of these days was satisfied at this moment.

He stretched out his hand to hold her, and walked outside step by step, with such a familiar appearance, as if they had never been separated.

The seats for Fleeting Years and the beginning and end of the year were arranged in the VIP seats with the best view. As soon as they took their seats, the lights dimmed and the concert officially began.

This is a majestic piano recital. David's playing skills are exquisite, unique and delicate; Artistic conception, as if the chic performer in the center of the stage is yourself.

At the beginning of the recital, David brought into a mood at the beginning and the end. She was almost so fascinated by listening to it that she forgot that her right hand was being held by the man beside her all the time.

It wasn't until she felt that her palm was a little wet, and she wanted to pull it away uncomfortably, that she realized that someone had held her right hand in the palm for a long time.

She looked sideways, wanting him to let go, only to find that Fleeting Nian had already fallen asleep on the chair.

As he fell asleep, he lost his usual indifference and sharpness, making him look much warmer. The long eyelashes rested on his closed eyes neatly, under the high bridge of the nose, the thin lips lightly Squeezing lightly, his handsome face frowned slightly because of the movement of her pulling her hand just now, until she obediently let him hold hands, the creases between his brows slowly relaxed.

His heart throbbed because of the dark circles under his eyes and tired face, Chu Mo turned his head away from looking at him, and didn't move his hands any more, letting him hold it until the whole piano recital was over.

Part3
After three hours, the concert was over, and David bowed to the audience and the curtain came to an end.

Seeing the people in the auditorium go out one by one, Fleeting Year has not yet woken up, Chu Mo looked over with some worry.

In her impression, Fleeting Nian rarely sleeps so soundly.

He has always been a light sleeper, as long as there is a little movement, he can be disturbed, and the situation like this is extremely rare.

She looked around, but fortunately, their position was less conspicuous, even if they sat here, they would not be noticed by others.

At this time, a blanket was handed over, and she looked up, it was Lin Fan.

She was about to get up, Lin Fan quickly made a silent gesture, and gently covered Liu Nian with the blanket.

Afterwards, he whispered to Chu Mo, "Miss Yang, can you come out and talk?"

Chu Mo was taken aback, then nodded.

Following Lin Fan out of the concert hall, Chu Mo looked at this man in a strict suit every time he appeared in front of everyone. She always had the impression that he was the unsmiling assistant next to Mu Liunian.

In the past, Xia Tu always joked: "At the end of the month, you see that the assistant next to your Mu Dashen is only 25 years old, right? The whole person looks like 52 years old, with a straight face every day. Looks like everyone owes him money."

Looking at the past at the end of the month, isn't it? Now he also has an expression of being owed money on his face.

"Miss Yang, in order to accompany you to watch this concert today, Mr. Mu, who has only slept for two hours for a week, stayed up late last night to finish his business, so he was able to free up time for the concert. When I got off work in the afternoon , I offered to drive for him, because he was too tired to drive, but he insisted on picking you up personally."

Lin Fan was facing Chu and Mo, with an unassuming posture and no words.

"Maybe as an assistant, you shouldn't interfere with your boss's feelings." Lin Fan still had no expression on his face, "But I can't bear to see Mr. Mu working so hard. Since you left, Mr. Mu hasn't slept again. A normal sleep, he often works until midnight, he is too tired, so he rests for an hour or two, and then continues to work. I used to think that Mu always couldn't fall asleep because of too much pressure, but today I saw him sleeping soundly , I just found out that it was because you were not by his side... You see, today you are with him, he sleeps so soundly, he has no defense at all. "

Chumo lowered her eyes and said, "Lin Fan, I know you have been with Fleeting Years for a long time, but there are some things you don't understand."

"You said I don't understand, you mean Ms. Lu?" Lin Fan directly said the name that was not mentioned at the beginning and the end, "I don't know why the whole world suddenly rumored that Ms. Lu is Mr. Mu's fiancée, but I What I have seen is everything Mr. Mu has done for you these days. When he bought Starlight Media, Mr. Mu insisted on this decision despite the pressure of everyone's opposition. Because you are in Starlight Media, he believes that the acquisition of Starlight Media will not Let him regret it, he believes that you can prove to everyone that Starlight Media is an undiscovered piece of gold."

"In order to let you see David's only few piano concerts this year ten years later, Mr. Mu spared time to gradually become friends with David, who has never met. You should also know that David is in the piano world. Notoriously eccentric, especially difficult to deal with, he has no friends, but Mr. Mu was able to become his friend for a month, just so that you can watch his piano concert at any time."

"Yesterday I heard that you were squeezed out by others by the elevator, but I couldn't hear David's live performance. Mr. Mu contacted David immediately and got the two seats with the best positions. The seat to go in didn't exist before. Miss Yang, Mr. Mu has done so much for you, I believe anyone with eyes can understand who is more important in his heart, you or Miss Lu. "

"So, are you Mu Liunian's lobbyist?" Chu Mo said this sentence indifferently.

Lin Fan paused, and looked at her in disbelief. This was probably the second expression on his face besides the expression of "owing money" that he had seen in the first and last days.

After a while, Lin Fan said: "Others say that Mr. Mu is indifferent, but it seems that Miss Yang has gone too far."

Chumo stood there silently.

Finally, Lin Fan said: "Mr. Mu finally fell asleep. I hope you don't wake him up and let him continue to rest. I have already informed the people in the concert hall not to disturb you." His tone returned to the previous calm , "Since you don't care about everything Mr. Mu has done, at least for the sake of what he did for you, let him sleep well tonight."

After speaking, Lin Fan turned and left.

Chumo stood there and watched Lin Fan's leaving back. For a long, long time, she didn't move.

It was undeniable that she, who seemed to be indifferent to Lin Fan on the surface, felt as if a hammer had smashed her heart that had been frozen into ice into pieces.

She never knew that Fleeting Years had done so much for her silently behind her back.

His acquisition of Starlight Media was opposed by everyone. During that time, he didn't look for her, not because he forgot her, but because he was preparing for the acquisition of Starlight Media... And he bought such a small company entirely because She, he believes that she will not let him down, he believes that she can make everyone recognize Starlight Media; and David's concert... how did Fleeting Years, who has never liked socializing with people, think of a way to communicate with Dave? Wei became a soulmate?Let David, who has always been aloof and arrogant, be so enthusiastic about him, and even convey this enthusiasm to her?At the beginning and end, I dare not imagine.

Countless truths flashed through her mind, making it hard for her to breathe for a moment.

She turned around in a daze, walked to the door of the music hall, opened the door, and walked in.

The hall was very quiet, from a distance, Chu Mo saw Mu Liunian sitting in the dark, his profile was pale and thin.He didn't know when he woke up, just sat there quietly like a statue.

At that moment, Chu Mo actually felt a huge sense of loneliness from his silhouette, as if he was the only one left in the whole world.Her heart throbbed violently, and he revealed such a huge sense of loneliness, as if he would disappear with the darkness at any time.

She couldn't bear it anymore, and ran up the stairs quickly, step by step to his side.

He still sat there without looking back, as if he couldn't feel her presence.

"fleeting time……"

She gave a soft cry.

It was also this sound that brought him back to his senses.

He looked at her with a trace of confusion at first, and then gradually regained clarity. He slightly raised his head and looked at her and said, "Mo Bao, I thought you had already left..."

I thought you were still mad at me, so you left without saying a word...

A light word, but it hurt Chumo's heart like a heavy punch.

Part4
Mu Liunian didn't show his fragility too much. When he realized that he had lost his composure, he quickly settled down, got up, and said to Chu Mo: "Let's go, I'll take you home."

After walking a few steps, he realized that the people behind him hadn't followed him. He turned his head and raised his eyebrows strangely: "Why?"

Looking at this man at the end of the month, he has returned to his usual appearance, always so invincible, as if nothing can break him down, he never likes to show a little bit of fragility in front of people, however, it is just like this He made her feel bad.

"Chu Mo?" Seeing that she didn't respond, Liu Qing called out.

Chu Mo came back to his senses and said, "It's okay."

"Well, let's go." After finishing speaking, he walked out of the hall first.

Chu Mo followed behind, looking at his stalwart and silent back, as if the frailty on his face at that moment just now had never happened before.

In the middle of the night, the road in City B was very empty. Mu Liunian drove the car very fast. It only took him half an hour to send Chu Mo back home for an hour's journey.

Chumo knew that he was really tired.

When she was about to get off the car, she said to Liu Nian beside her, "Can I have a word with Lin Fan?"

Mu Liunian seemed a little surprised by her request, but he didn't ask any further questions, but said, "Yes."

Chu Mo opened the car door, walked to the driver's seat of another car that had been trailing behind the Porsche, and knocked on the window.

The car window was lowered, and Lin Fan was a little surprised by her appearance, and said, "Miss Yang, what's the matter?"

Chu Mo said: "I hope you can watch the fleeting time on the way back, please."

"..." Lin Fan was a little surprised at her request, but he didn't show it on his face, he just said: "I don't need Miss Yang to remind me, I will do it, this is my responsibility."

"Thank you."

After Chu Mo finished speaking, she returned to Mu Liunian's car. She bent down and said to Liu Nian, "Be careful driving, I'll go up first."

"OK, good night."

"Good night."

Mu Liunian nodded, the car window closed slowly, the Porsche turned a corner, and sped away.

The black BMW behind him followed steadily.

Chu Mo stood where she was, when a taxi passed by, she quickly stopped her and got on it, and said to the driver, "Please follow the two cars in front."

The driver glanced at her in the rearview mirror and followed without saying a word.

Just like when he came here, Mu Liunian drove very fast, and he didn't feel relieved until he drove the car safely into the apartment building.

The security measures in this generation of high-end apartments are very strict. The driver was stopped by the security guards and asked Chu Mo in the back seat: "Miss, do you want to continue to follow?"

Chu Mo shook her head: Seeing that he arrived home safely, she felt relieved, and said, "No need, master, please turn around and go to the place we started just now."

"Oh." The driver gave her a strange look, "So you followed that car, you didn't come to catch bad guys for the police, did you? It made me excited for nothing."

Beginning and end: "..."

Uncle, have you watched too many gangster movies?
Part5
Chumo came home and just finished taking a shower when the phone rang.

She picked it up, and Zhou Bai's voice came from inside: "How is the date?"

Some headaches at the beginning and end: "I said it's not a date..."

"Okay, don't forget to give me the sheet music I asked you to bring me when I go to work tomorrow."

"..."

"You didn't bring it, did you?"

Zhou Bai is going on a business trip tomorrow, so she asked her to bring him a more important sheet music. When she got off work, she hurriedly picked it up and went to the parking lot. Only now did she remember...

"I seem to have forgotten that I was in the fleeting car."

"..." Zhou Bai was speechless for a while, and then said, "So this is an opportunity you created for your next date with your ex-boyfriend?"

"Zhou Bai..." Chu Mo felt a little helpless, "I'll ask him for it tomorrow, will I send it to you then?"

"Why not now? Afraid of disturbing your ex-boyfriend's rest time?"

"Zhou Bai, don't think that because you are my boss, I dare not beat you up!"

"...Hahaha..." Zhou Bai, who knew he couldn't take a joke too far, laughed three times before returning to a serious look, "Okay, I'll wait for you to send it to me, I'll be early tomorrow morning flight."

"it is good."

"Finally, I have a serious question for you."

"You said."

"I'm on a business trip for three days, will you miss me?"

"...Zhou Bai."

"OK, good night."

After hanging up the phone, Chumo threw herself on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Chumo got up early in the morning. From washing and dressing to going out, to taking the bus all the way to the company, she was thinking about how to tell Liu Nian that she forgot the sheet music in his car. This thought, I didn't think of a good way until I got off work.

She was afraid that if it was not handled properly, it would be like Zhou Bai's joke yesterday, maybe Fleeting Nian would think that she left the music score on his car on purpose to create a new chance to meet.

Just when she was hesitating, Zhou Bai sent a text message: "I've already landed in F City, remember to express the score to me as soon as possible! Huh!"

Chu Mo stared at the "What" at the end of the text message in a cold sweat for a few seconds and then decided, since there is no good way after much deliberation, then just make a phone call!
She walked to the quiet corridor on the right side of the elevator and dialed Liu Nian.

Soon, the phone was picked up over there: "First and last?"

"Well, it's me."

"What's up?"

"I seem to have left a sheet of music in your car yesterday, have you seen it?"

"Have."

"Well... when are you free, can I go and get it?" After finishing speaking, she seemed to feel that this was not good, and said, "Or you can ask Lin Fan to open the car door for me, and I can just go to the parking lot to get it." .”

"I'm not in the company now, you come over to the Workers' Stadium."

After finishing speaking, the other side directly hung up the phone.

Chu Mo put away the phone and returned to the road to take a taxi.

Part6
Chu Mo knew that today CM and the municipal government jointly held a large-scale charity gala at the Workers' Stadium.

When she arrived at the scene, the party was already in full swing. Chu Mo was standing at the entrance of the backstage where there were not many people, and was about to call Liu Nian when she suddenly heard someone calling her: "Miss Yang."

Chu Mo looked back, it was Lin Fan.

Lin Fan still gave people an aloof "ow me money" attitude, he walked up to Chu Mo, and said expressionlessly: "Mr. Mu asked me to take you there, come with me!"

"Oh." Chu Mo replied, and walked in the opposite direction with him.

When she followed Lin Fan to the backstage hall, she faintly heard someone crying softly.

Before entering the door, Lin Fan suddenly turned around and said to Chu Mo: "There is a temporary problem at the party, Mr. Mu is dealing with it, let's wait outside now."

"Okay." Chumo didn't know what went wrong, but from the crack of the door, the director of the CM marketing department was losing his temper, and several female employees were scolded and cried, so it was probably something serious.

"Now there are still 10 minutes to go on stage, but you can't even get in touch with anyone, and you can't find someone to play the piano. Will you come on stage for me to perform?"

"If I have to do everything myself, what are you doing here?"

"What are you doing here in a daze? Don't you hurry up and call to find someone, and wait for me to find someone for you?"

"..."

Those employees wiped away their tears and immediately went to make a call, but no matter how they called, they still couldn't get through.

The director of the marketing department was also in a hurry. She had been in CM for so long, and she had never encountered such a situation. It was time to go on stage, but the performers hadn't arrived yet, and they couldn't even get through the phone.

Although Chu Mo didn't participate in this dinner party, she was an insider of CM. She knew early on that there was a piano solo at the party, and the performer was Lu Youjing.

At this juncture, Lu Youjing actually disappeared?Chu Mo couldn't help thinking, what tricks is this woman up to?
She couldn't help but asked Lin Fan beside her: "Is it because Lu Youjing didn't come?"

"Yeah." Lin Fan nodded, "Originally, Mr. Mu didn't need to ask about such a trivial matter, but when he came to the backstage waiting for you, it happened to happen..."

"Zhou Bai's head is like a ball, kick it to the department store, and the aunts in the department store buy the ball, and once they buy it, they get Zhou Bai's head..."

Lin Fan hadn't finished speaking when a strange nursery rhyme hummed. Chu Mo picked up the flickering phone in his bag, looked up at Lin Fan, and said awkwardly, "Xiatu put it on for me. It's such a wonderful ringtone, I've been forgetting to change it back."

"..." Lin Fan didn't say anything.

Chu Mo picked up the phone: "Hello, how are you?"

"Where are you?"

"..." Chumo took away the phone and glanced at the phone number on the screen, it was Fleeting Years.

"Oh, I'm outside the backstage hall door."

After she answered her coordinates, a busy tone came from the phone that the phone was hung up. At the same time as Chu Mo put away her phone, the backstage door was opened.

Because he had to entertain the leader who came to the party, Fleeting Nian was wearing a well-styled formal suit, so handsome that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

He walked up to Chumo and asked her solemnly: "Chumo, let me take the stage now, can you?"

"You mean...you want me to take the stage instead of Lu Youjing?"

"Yes."

Although he knew that Fleeting Nian was making such a request from the company's point of view, Chu Mo's heart was still sour for an instant.

Mu Liunian seemed to see what she was thinking, and said, "You also know that this evening is organized by CM alone. The people in the stands are all leaders from all over the country, and no problems are allowed. If other pianists rush over now It will take at least half an hour, so at the end of the month, can you take the stage instead of Lu Youjing?"
