Chapter 656 Who has the decision-making power?
"I'm talking to you, why are you pretending to be stupid?"
Seeing that Xiang Zhimu didn't react, Zhang Fanghua started to pinch her arm after scolding her.
Her skin was originally as white as snow, but now Zhang Fanghua's pinch left a glaring red mark.
Li Jing, who was standing over there, finally came back to life. He walked over and pulled Xiang Zhimu behind him to protect him. He frowned at Zhang Fanghua and said, "Mom, why are you pinching Zhimu?"
Zhang Fanghua sneered, "What for? He just refuses the 100,000 yuan registration fee. When did my son become a wealthy man?"
After saying that, he looked up at the manager without paying any attention to Li Jing's embarrassed expression.
Facing the manager with noble makeup, Zhang Fanghua had a clearly flattering look on her face, and she nodded and bowed a little.
"Boss, can I get a refund for my daughter-in-law's registration fee? My family isn't well off, and my daughter-in-law stole my son's money to participate in this competition without us knowing about it. And now she's not competing anyway, so could you please give me a refund?"
The manager has organized so many projects, but this is the first time he has encountered such a rogue situation.
You have paid the registration fee and the competition has already started, so there is no reason to get a refund.
The manager looked at the weak Xiang Zhimu, the incompetent Li Jing and the mercenary Zhang Fanghua with even more disdain in his heart.
But they are all people of status, and it would be embarrassing to quarrel with Zhang Fanghua here.
Just as he was hesitating, he saw Leng Zinian standing two steps away. He suddenly felt relieved and threw the problem to Leng Zinian.
"Second Young Master, this lady wants to refund her daughter-in-law's entry fee. What do you think is the best way to handle this?"
The Leng family has always been one of the investors of this series of concerts, and Leng Zinian is almost the same as the boss.
Deep thought?
Xiang Zhimu felt even more embarrassed when he saw Leng Zinian actually coming over.
The handsome man in front of him is the famous and popular star Chen Nian. He was very popular when he was a child star. After growing up, the box office of the movies he took part in was even more successful. He is the best performer among his peers.
At her age, she also likes to chase stars, and is considered a fan of Shen Nian's older sister.
But I didn't expect that my first meeting with my idol would be in such an awkward situation.
"It's okay, go ahead and do your work," Leng Zinian's pleasant voice sounded above Xiang Zhimu's head. After talking to the manager, he looked at Xiang Zhimu and said, "Let's go out and talk."
Xiang Zhimu was overjoyed and immediately followed him out.
Li Jing also pulled Zhang Fanghua out.
Zhang Fanghua glanced at Xiang Zhimu in front of her, and with a look of disappointment at Li Jing, she muttered softly, "Don't be soft-hearted later. One hundred thousand yuan is not a small amount. It's enough for our living expenses for a year."
Li Jing said in a low voice, not very happy: "Mom, this money must have been borrowed by Zhimu from her friends. She must return it if she wants it back."
Zhang Fanghua: "Then you have to get it back. She only earns 6,000 yuan a month now. It will take forever to pay it back. And by then you will have to pay it back for her."
"Really? How could you get married to her without telling anyone? She has nothing to offer except good looks. You're already a well-known figure in the system, and my son is so handsome. He's going to be a son-in-law of a leader in the future."
"Mom, keep your voice down," Li Jing said unhappily, telling Zhang Fanghua to stop talking. "I don't care about other people's conditions. I only like Zhimu. Marrying her is the dream of mine. If we can't get the money back later, don't embarrass her. At worst, we can save some money and pay it back for her later."
Zhang Fanghua looked at her son's bewildered appearance and curled her lips in displeasure, saying, "You're completely possessed. Look at how she's dressed today. This kind of materialistic and vain woman is destined to be someone's mistress."
Li Jing's face darkened completely: "Mom, if you say that again, I'll be angry."
The minor frictions in daily life were fine, but now that his mother was belittling Zhimu like this, he simply couldn't stand it anymore.
In his heart, Xiang Zhimu was the moon in the sky, a goddess whom he thought he would never be able to reach in his lifetime.
If she hadn't felt guilty about what happened back then, how could she have married him so easily?
Leng Zinian took them to a small reception room outside the venue.
When Xiang Zhimu saw the man sitting inside, he felt a chill all over his body.
It’s Leng Jun.
She thought of the choice he had given her.
Whatever the reason, she has failed now.
What should I do next? What exactly does he mean by not letting go?
"This is Mr. Leng. He also invested in this competition. If you have any questions, please communicate with him."
Leng Zinian smiled gently at Xiang Zhimu and the others, then left.
Xiang Zhimu didn't dare to look up at Leng Jun. He just felt that the air around him was gloomy and cold, making him uncomfortable.
Li Jing was completely oblivious to the undercurrent between them. Instead, he looked at Leng Jun with great pleasure and introduced him to Zhang Fanghua as if he knew her well. "Mom, this is the Young Master Leng I was talking about, the boyfriend of Zhimu's friend. I was able to be transferred to the capital this time thanks to Mr. Leng."
When Zhang Fanghua heard that he was the important figure who could help her son get transferred, she immediately put on a fawning smile and said, "So you are Mr. Leng? I've heard our Li Jing always praise you before. Today I see that you are indeed extraordinary. You have achieved such great things at such a young age."
"Are you going to withdraw from the competition?" Leng Jun ignored her flattery and looked at Li Jing indifferently, "I heard from Guan Shinan that Mu Mu really likes playing the piano. Why are you withdrawing from the competition out of the blue?"
"What's the point of liking her? If she had that ability, she would have become rich long ago. Why would she have to pay 100,000 yuan to come and play the piano?" Zhang Fanghua said before Li Jing.
Leng Jun frowned unhappily and looked at Li Jing: "I'm asking you, if a man can't even fulfill his wife's wish, I feel very cowardly. Perhaps your decision today will change her life."
Li Jing's heart was shocked, and he always felt that Leng Jun's words had hidden meaning.
But he was thinking in another direction.
That is, if Xiang Zhimu wins today and becomes a disciple of a domestic piano master, her life will be extraordinary in the future.
When she becomes successful, will she continue to be with an ordinary person like him?
He was willing to support her dream, but he didn't want her to leave him.
"Zhi Mu," Li Jing turned and looked at Xiang Zhi Mu, who was silent and lowered her head. He held her shoulders and asked her to look at him, "Do you really have to play the piano?"
Xiang Zhimu did not answer, but looked at his hesitant eyes and smiled bitterly: "What is your decision? I want to hear your decision first."
After losing such a big person in the competition hall today, she felt that she had let it go.
No matter what, it won't be as embarrassing as just now.
