By the time Zhuang Yibo tidied himself up briefly and came out of the bathroom, someone else had already changed at the performance venue and was playing the piano.
She lowered her eyes and tried to avoid the eyes of the guests. She came to the performance seat and reached for her cello case. When she was about to turn around and leave, a pair of black leather shoes suddenly blocked her way.
Zhuang Yibo raised his head and saw a familiar face, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, gentle and gentle.
"Miss Zhuang, are you okay?" he asked.
Soon Zhuang Yibo remembered that this person was Xu Yanqing, the eldest son of the Xu family, and the two had met at some banquets.
"I'm fine." Although his hair and skirt were still wet, Zhuang Yibo still smiled, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Xu."
"It's because we're embarrassed." Xu Yanqing said, "The troublemaker has been asked to leave. I've asked someone to prepare a room and clean clothes. Why don't you come with me and I'll take you over to change out of your wet clothes."
"No, it doesn't matter." Zhuang Yibo still declined politely and said, "I'm leaving now. Mr. Xu can greet the guests and don't worry about me."
"How can that be done?" Xu Yanqing had already signaled to the staff next to him to come forward and carry the box for Zhuang Yibo, and then said, "If Miss Zhuang catches a cold on the way back, wouldn't it mean that I acted carelessly?
"
Xu Yanqing said, making a "please" gesture to her.
He had already said this, and Zhuang Yibo could not refuse any more. He nodded slightly and followed him out of the banquet hall through the side door.
From beginning to end, she never glanced at the bustling crowd of guests.
When Zhuang Yibo changed his clothes and dried his hair and walked out of the room, Xu Yanqing was still standing at the door waiting for her. Seeing her coming out, he smiled slightly and stepped forward and said: "Qin, I'll have someone take you to the rest room."
I've already sent some hot food over. Miss Zhuang, please have dinner before leaving. I've already arranged a driver and a car. Just let me know if you need it."
Zhuang Yibo didn't expect him to be so considerate, and couldn't refuse for a while, so he just nodded slightly and thanked him.
The rest room was right next to the banquet hall, so the two of them almost walked back the same way, but inevitably exchanged a few words.
It's just that Xu Yanqing was very measured and didn't ask anything about her or the banker. He just mentioned that the two hadn't met each other for several years. He didn't expect Zhuang Yibo to play the piano so well.
"If I had known that there was a cellist like you in Tongcheng, I would have been blessed early in the morning."
"Mr. Xu is really overrated." Zhuang Yibo said in a low voice, "I just grew up in elementary school and make a living by doing this. How can I bear the title of a cellist?"
"In my opinion, Miss Zhuang is too modest." Xu Yanqing said, "If Miss Zhuang is willing, she will surely achieve greater success in her music career."
Zhuang Yibo listened, but just smiled faintly.
Seeing her reaction, Xu Yanqing didn't say anything more and sent her to the door of the rest room before leaving again.
Zhuang Yibo originally shared a rest room with all the performers, but now he was arranged in a separate room. He pushed the door and went in. Sure enough, he saw a waiter setting out some hot dishes. When he saw her arrival, he called her politely.
Greeting: "Ms. Zhuang, it's time to eat."
Zhuang Yibo responded and walked in, but just stood there in front of his cello case.
"Ms. Zhuang?" the waiter behind her called her again, "Is there any problem?"
Zhuang Yibo suddenly came to his senses, shook his head quickly, then picked up his piano case, turned around and said: "I'm sorry, I have other things to do and have to leave first. Could you please say thank you to Mr. Xu for me? Thank you."
——”
Seeing her turning around and leaving with the box, the waiter quickly said: "Miss Zhuang, Mr. Xu has arranged a car for you..."
Zhuang Yibo, however, seemed not to have heard anything and left here in a hurry.
