Song Zhefeng looked considerate and said: "I think you are getting older. If Song Xiaoyi dies, no one will hire you. How about you do things for me and I will pay you?"
Facing the olive branch thrown by Song Zhefeng, the butler was unmoved at all. He still maintained his previous posture and said calmly: "I just want to accompany my husband on his final journey. Afterwards, I should retire.
You won’t have to worry about how I will arrange my life at that time.”
"Hmph, you two, master and servant, are more stubborn than the other!"
Song Zhefeng walked away, but he was thinking that this Butler Zhang might be a breakthrough.
Song Xiaozhi's life was full of confusion, and this old man was the only one who could be completely devoted to him. If Song Zhefeng could bribe the old man, he could let him help lobby, or throw dirty water on Jenny to make Song Xiaozhi change his mind.
The more Song Zhefeng thought about it, the more he realized that this was the way to go. There was a sinister look under his brows and eyes.
…
There were a dozen young people sitting on the benches outside the music hall.
There was more or less nervousness on their young faces.
Sheng Jiayi sat among them, holding her bamboo flute and taking a deep breath.
Today is the day of the orchestra assessment. Sheng Jiayi has been waiting for this day for so long. She silently told herself that she must stabilize her mentality, perform well, and show her abilities as much as possible.
Just when Sheng Jiayi was thinking to herself, a girl came over, bent down and told her in a low voice that someone was looking for her outside.
Sheng Jiayi didn't think much, stood up and left with the girl.
After walking for a while, Sheng Jiayi asked: "Who is looking for me?"
"The other party didn't say anything. He just said that he came to cheer you up. But he didn't want others to see him, so he found a quieter place and wanted to have a few words with you alone."
Cheer her up and don’t want others to see it?
Could it be that it's...him?
A name popped up in Sheng Jiayi's mind, and because of that name, her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up. Sheng Jiayi, who was immersed in her thoughts, didn't realize that the girl who was leading the way took her to a remote place and took advantage of the fact that there was no one around.
, turned around and pushed Sheng Jiayi into an open utility room.
"ah--"
Sheng Jiayi shouted and fell heavily to the ground. Before she could recover, the door of the utility room was locked from the outside.
Sheng Jiayi was anxious, and she ignored the pain. She stood up and knocked hard on the door. But this was a utility room, and few people usually passed by here.
The girl pushing the person had a calm expression, staring at the door of the utility room, with a smile of success on her face.
Sheng Jiayi shouted for a while, but seeing that it was of no use, she took out her mobile phone and prepared to call for help. Only when she looked around did she realize that there was no signal here.
This made Sheng Jiayi anxious. There were only five assessors in front of her. If Sheng Jiayi couldn't rush back when it was her turn to take the assessment, she would be disqualified!
At this moment, the door is locked and there is no signal on the mobile phone. If Sheng Jiayi wants to leave here, she can only... find a way through the window.
Sheng Jiayi looked up at the narrow window, then found an old chair and climbed up the window on the chair.
The utility room is on the third floor, and there is a thick tree outside the window. As long as Sheng Jiayi can step from the window to the branch, she can lie down along the trunk and return to the assessment location on the fifth floor.
Climbing a tree is not difficult for Sheng Jiayi. However, there is some distance between the window and the tree trunk, and Sheng Jiayi still has to hold a bamboo flute, which increases the difficulty.
But time waits for no one, and Sheng Jiayi has no other choice. She can only be cruel and step onto the branch. The branch cannot support Sheng Jiayi's weight and makes a "clicking" sound. Sheng Jiayi panicked and immediately jumped forward.
Hook your arms around another branch above to stabilize your body.
Sheng Jiayi reacted quickly and stabilized her body. However, the entire branch under her feet broke and fell straight down.
Jian Chen was walking and chatting with his companions, and was about to enter the door of the music hall. But suddenly, a branch fell from the sky and almost hit him on the head.
The person standing next to Jian Chen was also frightened. He looked up to see what was going on. But when he saw it, his eyes widened in shock and he murmured: "Why is there someone hanging on the tree...?"
Jian Chen also looked up, but the more he looked, the more he felt that the figure looked familiar. He changed the angle and looked again, and then through the layers of branches, he discovered that the woman hanging on the tree was none other than Sheng Jiayi!
Jian Chen shouted incomprehensibly: "What are you doing there? Come down quickly!"
Sheng Jiayi's body was swaying, and she thought to herself that this person was really speechless, and if she could go down... then there would be nothing left to say!
At this moment, Sheng Jiayi's feet were hanging in the air, with only one arm supporting her body.
Jian Chen took a look and found that Sheng Jiayi was protecting the bamboo flute in his arms. He knew that the bamboo flute was very important to Sheng Jiayi and she was reluctant to throw it away. But Sheng Jiayi couldn't hold on for long. In order to let Sheng Jiayi have no worries, Jian Chen
He raised his head and said to her: "Throw the flute to me!"
"But...you can't take it...what should I do?"
"I will definitely catch it, you believe me!"
Sheng Jiayi and Jian Chen had a grudge because of the bamboo flute. Logically speaking, Sheng Jiayi should not be able to believe it. But this time she did not hesitate and threw the bamboo flute in the direction of Jian Chen.
Jian Chen stretched out his hand and caught it firmly. Sheng Jiayi also hugged the branch with both arms, then swung forward and stepped on the trunk with his toes.
But at this moment, Sheng Jiayi's fingers suddenly slipped, her whole body lost support and fell!
"ah--"
Sheng Jiayi screamed and fell, thinking that she would definitely die this time!
But in the end, she didn't fall to the ground, but was caught and held in his arms.
When Sheng Jiayi descended, she was whipped so many times by branches that she was in a daze. But she still remembered the most important thing in her mind, which was to rush to the assessment location!
Sheng Jiayi shook her head, and then went to get her bamboo flute. But when she took it, Sheng Jiayi touched her arm, which made her frown in pain.
Seeing that she looked very uncomfortable, Jian Chen put Sheng Jiayi down and squeezed her shoulders. This squeeze was so good that Sheng Jiayi screamed out.
Jian Chen came to a conclusion and said: "Your arm is injured, go to the hospital first."
"No, I still have to take the assessment!"
Sheng Jiayi had no time to explain, so she took the bamboo flute and endured the pain and ran upstairs.
The man standing next to Jian Chen asked at this moment: "Do you know that lady?"
"Um."
"Her arm seems to be injured. Do you want to check on her condition?"
Whether Sheng Jiayi was injured or not had little to do with Jian Chen. But Jian Chen didn't know what he was thinking. In the end, he followed Sheng Jiayi outside the concert hall.
