Wang Wenbin sat on the sofa chair and asked the person next to him.
"Brother, don't worry. Our people have been keeping an eye on the kid since he left the hotel. His every move cannot escape our eyes."
In front of Wang Wenbin, a man who looked somewhat similar to him answered.
His name is Wang Yawen, he is the younger brother of Wang Wenbin and the second-in-command of the Wang Group.
"According to what Xu Qing said, there should be no problem with this guy's identity, and he is indeed short of money. The Chinese Turtle Spirit is a good project. If the opportunity is right, we can consider cooperating with him."
Wang Wenbin put out the cigarette butt in his hand, looked at his younger brother Wang Yawen and said: "You are responsible for keeping an eye on that kid these two days, looking for opportunities to get close to him, and don't let others get there first."
Wang Yawen nodded quickly and responded: "Don't worry, brother, this matter will be taken care of by me!"
Wang Wenbin naturally trusts his younger brother.
"Brother, that guy is in the health care products business. If we cooperate with him, will it have any impact on our business in the south?"
With a trace of worry on his face, Wang Yawen hesitated for a while before asking his eldest brother Wang Wenbin.
"Idiot, if this project can be successful, our counterfeit drug business is nothing."
Upon hearing this, Wang Wenbin said coldly: "These businesses are shady after all. We have to stop as soon as possible, otherwise Lu Zhihua will find out sooner or later."
Regarding the counterfeit medicine business, Wang Wenbin had long thought about quitting. The business was getting bigger and bigger, and he had already made a lot of money, but his heart was becoming more and more frightened day by day.
The Chinese Turtle Spirit project brought by Chu Tianyao is the best opportunity for him to turn from black to white.
Hearing that his brother actually had the idea of washing hands in a golden basin, Wang Yawen felt a little unwilling, but he did not dare to disobey the person in front of him.
…
Four o'clock in the afternoon, downtown Lucheng.
In front of the Lucheng Art Theater, it is quite lively.
This is a troupe organized by the Beijing People's Art Theater to perform in Lucheng. The performance is the most popular drama in the world in recent years.
The entire play depicts the tortuous development process of a roast duck restaurant called Fujude in Beijing in the early years of the Republic of China, from its resurgence to its sunset. It is used as a microcosm to criticize the social chaos in that dark era.
There are two major performances for people and art, one is the teahouse, and the other is the No. 1 Theater in the World.
Chu Tianyao is not a drama lover, but he has heard the name of this popular drama in his previous life, but he has never watched it.
"Twenty-seven, twenty-eight... found, our location is here."
In the theater, Lu Qiuyu found a seat and quickly pulled Chu Tianyao to sit down.
It happens to be in the middle of the second row, which is not bad.
In this day and age, there are a lot of people who like to watch dramas, and since this is a very popular drama, there are naturally a lot of people who come here to see it.
Lu Qiuyu seemed to have dressed up carefully, wearing a long white dress, with her long black hair tied back, like a pure female college student.
Chu Tianyao, on the other hand, was wearing a white shirt and a pair of black trousers. His slightly too long hair was combed back, and paired with his angular face, he looked a bit mature that was inconsistent with his age.
The two of them seemed inexplicably in sync with each other.
Not long after, when the audience was seated, the lights in the theater suddenly dimmed.
Along with a burst of music, the curtain on the stage slowly opened, and everyone's eyes turned towards the stage.
"The three-seat duck is out!"
On the stage, with the shout of the character Luo Datou, the whole play was announced to have begun.
Watching a play is not like watching a movie. There are no couples eating popcorn or crying children in the audience. Everyone is watching the performance quietly and expectantly.
On the side, looking at Lu Qiuyu who looked serious next to him, Chu Tianyao suddenly discovered a different side of this woman.
Smiling unconsciously, Chu Tianyao looked back at the stage.
Although it was his first time to watch a drama, Chu Tianyao was quickly attracted by the content in the drama.
More than two hours.
As the curtain call music sounded, the audience reacted and burst into thunderous applause.
Even Lu Qiuyu applauded repeatedly and casually recited the couplet that appeared in the play at the end.
"What a dangerous building, who is the owner and who is the guest?"
Hearing this, Chu Tianyao also chimed in: "There are only three old houses, and the moon is shining and the wind is blowing."
After hearing what Chu Tianyao said, Lu Qiuyu also turned to look at him. She originally thought that Chu Tianyao didn't like dramas, but she didn't expect that Chu Tianyao seemed to take it more seriously than she did.
The two looked at each other and their eyes collided.
Subconsciously, Lu Qiuyu became slightly flustered and quickly stood up.
"The performance is over, let's go!"
In the theater hall, the audience had already stood up and left.
Chu Tianyao nodded and walked out together with Lu Qiuyu.
At seven o'clock in the evening, a light rain started to fall in front of the theater.
Unknowingly, she had missed the meal at home, and Lu Qiuyu's stomach growled a little unsatisfactorily.
"Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."
Chu Tianyao glanced at the person beside him and said.
Lu Qiuyu hesitated, but still nodded in agreement.
After all, she was indeed a little hungry.
…
In the evening, in a Western restaurant in Lucheng.
Compared with Yongning, the Western restaurants in Lucheng are naturally a little more stylish.
For returnees like Lu Qiuyu, a Western restaurant is a good choice.
Maybe they were hungry, so they ate all the snacks before the main meal was served.
In order to cover up her embarrassment, Lu Qiuyu discussed the drama just now with Chu Tianyao.
"That's so pitiful for Lu Mengshi. He worked so hard to run the roast duck restaurant for the Tang family and ended up like this."
Perhaps because her surname is Lu, Lu Qiuyu has some empathy for the characters in the play.
When Chu Tianyao heard this, he smiled and said, "It's not surprising that Lu Mengshi ended up like this. As a professional manager, the most taboo thing is to be arrogant based on one's talents. In the modern workplace, there are endless examples of this."
Originally, she had some sympathy for the characters in the play, but when she heard what Chu Tianyao said, Lu Qiuyu was speechless.
"How can you be related to business in everything? No wonder Uncle Wei Guo said that you have too many business ideas. I have to stay away from you in the future. You may be betrayed at some point."
Lu Qiuyu rolled her eyes at Chu Tianyao and said.
While the two were talking, the waiter also brought two steaks.
Chu Tianyao smiled helplessly, but he didn't expect this woman to be so guarded against him.
In the restaurant, the lights are not very bright in order to create a romantic atmosphere.
The waiter at the bar also played a Cantonese song on the vinyl record player.
When the familiar song sounded, Chu Tianyao, who was sitting on the seat, was slightly startled, a little lost in thought.
Everything in front of him seemed to be a little blurry, and in Chu Tianyao's mind, he couldn't help but recall everything from his previous life.
"Lover, I also like this song by the Bi'an band."
In front of the dining table, Lu Qiuyu also smiled calmly when he saw that Chu Tianyao seemed to be entranced by the music.
"Yeah?"
Chu Tianyao looked at the person in front of him, and his interrupted thoughts gradually returned to reality.
In the early 1990s, due to the rampant pirated cassette tapes in mainland China, the famous Beyond band became the Bi'an band when they were transliterated.
This was also Chu Tianyao's favorite song in his previous life.
However, the singing voice has not changed, but everything in my mind seems to be irreversible.
Chu Tianyao would have this illusion from time to time.
He can't distinguish between his past life and his present life, which one should be the real him.
