You can't deny yourself because of one failure, you need to try many, many times … many, many times of failure.
Not only Cheng Yun.
When Cheng Yiran realized this, even her legs seemed to be drained of strength — she made an excuse to go downstairs for a walk. The bodyguard didn't suspect anything.
In the garden downstairs of the inpatient department, many patients came out to bask in the sun. Cheng Yiran walked past them, gently plucking the strings of the guitar, observing their reactions one by one.
Disappointment after disappointment, failure after failure, finally turned into fear — a feeling that his palms and the soles of his feet were cold, and his entire body was cold. Fear.
What was the song in his heart? What was it?
He stayed in the pavilion alone, trying his best to recall the conversation between him and the mysterious boss during their second meeting.
"You just woke up and went downstairs, it seems that you're fine."
It was Zhong Luochen's voice.
…
How could this person appear in front of her so quickly, did he know something … Cheng Yiran's heart beat wildly.
No, I'm just hospitalized because of a car accident, it's normal for him to come to see me … Don't scare yourself.
Cheng Yiran tried to calm herself down, not directly looking at Zhong Luochen's eyes, but looking at the courtyard in front, saying indifferently, "It's too quiet upstairs, I'm not used to it, so I came down to have a seat."
"Really?" Zhong Luochen nodded, also sitting down.
He and Cheng Yiran were about two people's seats away. Zhong Luochen was silent for a while, then said, "It's Friday … Saturday, Sunday night, can you play?"
Cheng Yiran frowned, "You want me to play in this condition?"
Zhong Luochen said, "Anyway, you and I both know that it's not a brilliant technique. If there are too many arrangements and you can't play some parts with your fingers, you can arrange some simple ones, such as folk songs. Speaking of which, a good folk song can also move people's hearts, plus the 'timbre' of this guitar, the effect should be better. "
This man … wasn't like Cheng Yun who didn't know anything about music and could be easily fooled.
Seeing that Cheng Yiran didn't say anything, Zhong Luochen continued, "Time waits for no one. There are nearly 60,000 viewers for this episode. With the publicity from these 60,000 viewers, it will be very important for your momentum in the future. The outside world already knows that you were hospitalized due to a car accident. If you can still go on stage at this time and conquer these tens of thousands of viewers, you can become a legend. "
Zhong Luochen shook his head and said, "Besides, I'm not a wasteful person. In order to prepare for this episode of the show, the company invested a lot of money … although it couldn't be described as a lot. But you should understand that if you don't get anything in return, then your efforts will be worthless. "
Looking at Cheng Yiran's motionless fingers on the guitar, Zhong Luochen finally smiled and said, "Of course, if it's really difficult for you to play a simple song, I won't force you … Do you have any difficulties?"
Cheng Yiran sighed, and then started to move his fingers in front of Zhong Luochen, 'powerlessly' saying, "See, I really can't use my strength. The doctor said I can't move it for at least a month."
"A month …" Zhong Luochen nodded with an indifferent expression, as if thinking about something. "I know, you can rest at ease. The company will take care of the rest. Don't sit here for too long, there are still some reporters outside. "
Looking at Zhong Luochen's casual warning, the fear in Cheng Yiran's heart didn't dissipate, instead, it became deeper and deeper.
He didn't get to where he was today step by step, he just did it all at once … Without this guitar, he was nothing.
He would become nothing again.
Cheng Yiran's eyes couldn't see anything at this moment, as if they had lost their focus.
But Zhong Luochen suddenly said, "Right, do you want to come with me? Maybe you'll see something interesting."
Cheng Yiran gave a start.
…
…
Cheng Yiran never doubted Zhong Luochen's ability, so he wasn't curious about why he followed him to a hospital conference room.
What he was curious about was that before he got close to the conference room, he had faintly heard a scream.
But Zhong Luochen walked in front of him with his hands clasped behind his back, without the slightest curiosity, as if he had already known this situation … Gradually, Cheng Yiran recognized the scream.
It sounded like Li Zifeng's … But why did he scream?
His doubts were also answered after the door of the conference room was opened.
At the corner of the conference room, Li Zifeng leaned against the wall, sweating profusely, with blood at the corner of his mouth, as if he couldn't open his eyelids.
In front of Li Zifeng was Cheng Yun whom Cheng Yiran was familiar with — Cheng Yun took off his suit, rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt, and stuffed his tie into the gap between the buttons of his shirt. His smooth hair was a bit messy due to wax … He was waving his fist continuously, hitting Li Zifeng's abdomen again and again.
"What … what happened?" Seeing this scene, Cheng Yiran was so surprised … that he was even more scared.
"Oh, Mr. Zhong, you're here." Cheng Yun stopped.
Li Zifeng slid down along the wall slowly, breathing weakly. He raised his head reluctantly and glanced at Cheng Yiran and Zhong Luochen, as if he wanted to say something, but it was difficult for him to open his mouth.
That was a pleading look.
Cheng Yun wiped off the sweat on his forehead before picking up the briefcase from the table in the conference room, "Mr. Zhong, I've got it. This guy secretly embezzled two million yuan from the company, and this agreement … I think you should take a look at it. "
Cheng Yiran subconsciously looked at Li Zifeng's frightened eyes, frowning, taking the document from Cheng Yun's hand, and began to read it quickly.
He read it quickly … because he had seen such a document before.
He even saw the party A and the party B in the contract … But!
Today's party A was different from that day … and the party B he saw today was also different.
"This …" Cheng Yiran suddenly threw this agreement to Li Zifeng, and shouted angrily, "What is this!!"
That document on Li Zifeng's body couldn't compare with Cheng Yun's fist, but for him, it was much more terrifying than Cheng Yun's fist!
"Tell me!" Cheng Yiran even squatted down, pulling Li Zifeng's collar with both hands, and pulled his head up.
But Li Zifeng's face was ashen, and he didn't say a word.
Cheng Yun sneered, "Isn't it simple? This guy came up with a scheme to drive a wedge between you and that Hong Guan, and profit from it."
Cheng Yiran looked up at Cheng Yun in astonishment, only to see Cheng Yun shrugging, "This is a trick that many producers and agents will use. They would think of ways to get the singers, stars, and actors that they had poached and tie them to themselves, making them the only people these artists could trust. Then, they would be able to profit from it. And there are some small problems in our company's system. You also know that Feiyun's predecessor was Heaven's Shadow. Because of the restructuring, some things are still kept … Of course, these are things that will definitely be removed in the future, because we still need to let the company have a peaceful time. But … but. "
Cheng Yun glanced at Li Zifeng, saying disdainfully, "Some people like to play petty tricks, thinking that they can make a fortune in such a short time … Yiran, the company has signed a contract with you, and it's your salary. But Li Zifeng has always been in charge of it … I guess the two million on the contract with your brother Hong Guan was dug out from your contract. However, Hong Guan should be quite interesting. The agreement that belonged to him said that he could get a few hundred thousand, but he didn't want it. He just wanted his wife to be hospitalized. "
"Hong Guan …" Cheng Yiran sat down on the ground, and then grabbed Li Zifeng's collar, saying ferociously, "You … you, why! What! Did you! "
Li Zifeng pursed his lips, still saying nothing.
Cheng Yun sneered, "This guy owes a lot of debts, and the finance company is chasing after him. Famous cars, high-end houses, high-end entertainment places, and several girlfriends. His monthly expenses are not small … the salary given by the company is definitely not enough. "
"Li Zifeng! You bastard!!! "Cheng Yiran was about to punch him in the face.
Cheng Yun hurriedly grabbed Cheng Yiran's arm, cherishing this guy who was about to become a money tree, "Yiran, don't come, just hit me. Do you think you can still use your hand? This kind of person doesn't deserve it! "
Li Zifeng pushed away Cheng Yiran, and crawled to Zhong Luochen, saying in a panic, "Mr. Zhong, Mr. Zhong … I beg you, I'll return the two million to the company! I'll definitely return it! Please, don't let Manager Cheng report it … I, I don't want to go to jail, I really don't want to go to jail … I beg you … "
"You bastard, you still want to escape after doing such a thing?" Cheng Yiran was still angry.
Li Zifeng was shocked. He swallowed his saliva and said, "That's right. I'm only doing this because I have no other choice. I'm forced by the situation … Why don't you put in a good word for me since I'm the one who discovered you?"
Cheng Yiran was so angry that he laughed, "You tricked me, and you still want me to plead for you? Don't even think about it!! Call the police! Not only did you embezzle the company's money, you also took my share … Why do you still want me to help you?! "
"Cheng Yiran! If it weren't for me, you would still be a piece of trash in that rubbish nightclub, you … "Li Zifeng screamed," You're ungrateful!! "
"You still dare to say that?" Cheng Yiran was about to rush forward, but was held back by Cheng Yun.
Li Zifeng was forced into a dead end, and he said, "Hahahaha!!! You're an ungrateful wretch!!! Did I say anything wrong? I didn't say anything wrong!! Why did I split you two with just a few words? Isn't it because of you!! Because you're stupid!! Because your relationship isn't that good!! Because you didn't even consider Hong Guan as a friend!! You're just a selfish bastard from head to toe!! We're the same kind of people! No one is better than the other!! "
We … are the same kind of people.
