Chapter 60

Then Su Ning fell silent.

Silence is the answer.

Looking back, the most common relationships in his life were partners. Of course, there were many partners who wanted to take a further step with him, but Su Ning’s only thought was that this would delay business, and he felt that these people were a bit annoying.

But Shen Mingzheng is different.

Ji Xue originally wanted to change the subject, but seeing Su Ning's expression, she became a little more excited.

With this man's face and such wealth, I initially thought that he was just like Lu Fei, with a rich love history since high school. After all, it is impossible for someone with such conditions to be alone.

Ji Xue herself has a lot of luck with women, but Su Ning is different. I heard that he was a love-minded idiot at first, but now he is a fool who keeps silent and pretends not to hear the topic when he hears it.

It turns out that people like Su Ning can also be confused by the power they have.

Ji Xue found this particularly interesting. She continued, "Can you really not see it? Or do you not want to admit it?"

Su Ning did not answer, but could not stop Ji Xue from continuing to speak.

"Shen Mingzheng likes you very much, but he doesn't dare to say it," Ji Xue said, "Tsk, do you know why I wanted to leave the smell of lady's cigarettes on you at the beginning?"

Perfume is difficult to apply, but the smell of cigarettes is particularly easy to stay. When Su Ning returned home early the next morning, Shen Mingzheng would definitely smell it.

Su Ning finally couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"Before you came, I specifically investigated the two of you. He must be angry if you go back like this, and he doesn't dare to tell you clearly," Ji Xue said, "At that time, as long as the people in the Shen family were unhappy, I was very happy."

Su Ning thought of Shen Mingzheng's fuss that morning and had no way of refutation.

"And on the day of the celebration party," Ji Xue pressed on, "I don't even want to take care of a drunk, but I saw that he was holding you the whole time, and he didn't let anyone else do it. He carried you back home, right? You two still live together."

Ah, that day.

Su Ning didn't think much about it, but after Ji Xue brought up all these things, he knew something was even more wrong.

His face looked normal. For some reason, he felt that the place where he was bitten was a little itchy, even though it had disappeared long ago. So he simply said "hmm". It was unclear what he agreed to, but Ji Xue noticed that his ears were red.

It's really interesting to see other people having fun.

But Su Ning was not the type to be led by others all the time. He drove seriously and then tried to change the subject again, saying, "Ming Zheng and I, um... well, what do you want to do in the future?"

It was the first time she saw Su Ning change the subject so abruptly, but after all, he was driving, so she didn't keep asking questions. She just stopped at the right time. After all, she had to give him some face.

"Do you still want to sign me?" she said, smoothing her hair. "I think these things are meaningless."

The incident involving Liao Yuansi resulted in a replacement of people at the Actors Association. Of course, this was also influenced by the Shen family. Her ban was no longer tenable, so naturally it disappeared. Ji Xue's only goal in the past few years was to seek justice, and now that it's done, she doesn't know what to do next.

Maybe she will just stay at home and do something else. She hasn't decided whether to appear in front of the audience as an actor again. She has some shadows about entering the circle.

Su Ning didn't say anything. The car drove to the destination, which was the music festival venue.

When they arrived, the finale of Glory was performing.

The group prepared two songs. First, they covered Blue Sea by Blue Hat and obtained a license for it.

This song is very popular. As soon as the prelude came out, the whole place was lively. Ji Xue had of course heard this song before. She walked forward and heard someone next to her singing along and someone else screaming loudly.

She was standing too far away. She couldn't see the people on the stage, and even the big screen broadcasting the event was very far away. But she could hear the music coming towards her, which was very relaxing.

As we walked further, we saw more and more people.

Some people were having so much fun that they even took off their coats. The weather in Rongcheng is relatively warm this year, so it is not very cold outdoors at this season. It is much warmer than on the mountain in the resort. There are also people selling accessories and flowers on site, as well as other stalls. Su Ning bought her a cup of hot chocolate.

Ji Xue usually doesn't drink something so sweet, but it makes her feel warmer in her hands. Even though the weather is cold, the atmosphere is very warm. Her face makes people come up to her to give her flowers and ask for her contact information, both men and women, but Ji Xue politely refuses them all.

She walked with Su Ning, her eyes fixed on the stage over there, while Glory finished singing "Blue Sea".

The next song to be performed was the album's secondary title song "Pirate Ship". Ji Xue had already walked under the big screen for the broadcast, and she could also clearly see the appearance of all the members of the group.

She had seen them in person. At a banquet in Su Ning, she saw this group of people huddled together to open red envelopes while waiting for the bus. They looked like a bunch of little fools with no worries.

But it's different once you're on stage.

Some people may look ordinary on weekdays, but once they are on the stage and under the spotlight, they become very eye-catching.

The costumes in "Pirates" are very different from the noble and divine costumes in the title song. At first glance, they look a bit like tattered clothes, with some belts that flutter in the wind, but if you look closely you can find very delicate tailoring designs in them, showing a kind of sailor-style freedom. Zhou Heng, as the vocal of the group, has a very distinctive voice and his mouth can make people remember him.

"Blow the horn, hoist the sails,

Bring my wine and revolver,

The pirate ship will sail away

Hey buddy, freedom is just around the corner."

Songs with a strong sense of rhythm are very suitable for performances in this kind of occasion. I don’t know where Su Ning found the fireworks, and there was also a drone that released a pirate ship shape behind the stage.

The sequins floating above the stage floated towards her and were caught by Ji Xue.

She continued walking forward and heard two people jumping up and down beside her. After they finished jumping, they asked, "Hey, who's on the stage?"

Glory is a newly popular band. Some people may have heard of this name offline, but they may not know the real people. Moreover, not all people who come to the music festival are there for them.

"I don't know either!" she heard another person answer, but she couldn't help but jump with the whole crowd, "But I'm so happy!"

Ji Xue couldn't help but laugh along.

As the closing guest, the group performed the last show. It was already late in the evening and it was time to leave, but after this song the audience shouted "Encore", which showed that they were in high spirits and didn't want them to leave.

The group was quite considerate. Li Chu and a few others went up to discuss with the backstage and asked the sound teacher to come back and tune a song from the 4th show of Ou Tu, which was also a dynamic style.

Even as a temporary addition, the group's performance was perfect, and the open-mic singing was very stable.

"It's a temporary extra show," Ji Xue said, "Didn't they discuss this with you, their agent?"

Su Ning waved his hands and said, "In this situation, they will make their own decision. If everyone is happy, they will join. Why would we need to discuss so much?"

Su Ning took her across the huge music festival venue, and Ji Xue walked from the edge to the backstage. Even though everyone was reluctant to leave, the performance on the stage had already ended.

But someone took a guitar and set up a small stage on the grass. They sang what seemed to be a Glory song, "Our Story" written by Blue Hat. The singer was not a professional. The microphone was set up there, and there were audience members singing in the middle. It didn't matter if they were a little out of tune. Everyone looked very happy.

Music makes people feel happy.

Ji Xue was not in a very good mood today, but Su Ning brought her here, an open place with happy people, so Ji Xue also felt a little happy walking among them.

That's what it is here, happiness without burden.

When she walked to the backstage, she happened to run into the Glory crew running down the stage to remove their makeup. When she saw Su Ning, she greeted her. Seeing Ji Xue next to her also recognized her, Lin Zhi took the initiative to say, "Hello, sister!"

Ji Xue also nodded and said, "Hello."

Then she just watched the puppies running past her.

The young idols were changing clothes and removing makeup inside. Because there were so many fans crowding at the door, they were afraid of being trampled if they went out now, so the organizers and the team sent people out to maintain order and told them to wait until it was less crowded outside before leaving.

Ji Xue set up a stool and sat outside. She liked the environment outside. The audience who came here were very happy and left one after another. Su Ning was also sitting next to her.

"There's nothing special about our line of work," he said as he watched the audience leave. "As long as we are worthy of them and ourselves, that's enough."

Su Ning implied that he still wanted to sign her.

Ji Xue is a very good candidate.

Su Ning saw more information from her teacher. In addition to this face, there was also her performance in school, her audition clips, and the wishes she wrote down at the time.

Ji Xue knows quite a lot now. Su Ning has even watched the video she edited, which is about "Wushuangtu" and is posted on the homepage of "Jixue" which has not been updated for a long time.

After all, this movie has premiered, and a lot of materials have been released before. Liao Yuansi fell, and fans of other leading actors were too busy crying, but she was willing to edit the video, but it was completely different from the plot of the movie.

——There is no more dispute between the saint and the witch. The princess and the poor girl have the same face. The girl ran away.

She didn't care about the righteousness that the national teacher talked about, nor did she care about the little love between her and the general. The girl escaped from the disaster of destroying the top. The people who could run had already run away, and those who didn't want to escape stayed behind to guard. No matter the flood behind her, she finally escaped from this story that was set for her to sacrifice.

It was edited quite well and was later circulated on other major platforms. However, due to too many random reposts, many people didn’t know who the original editor was. After the film was taken off the screen, Su Ning took the initiative to visit the special effects company behind the scenes, and they had even watched the video.

Ji Xue took a sip of hot cocoa and said with a smile, "It was obviously not you who signed for me, but you did more for me than Mr. Su."

She learned the means of revenge from Su Ning, and now it is Su Ning who is comforting her. I have to say that she feels much better now.

The organizers were still setting off fireworks from time to time. Ji Xue looked at the fireworks exploding in the air and whispered, "Maybe I'll give it a try."

But before Su Ning could speak again, she returned to the original topic: "But what are you going to do?"

Su Ning didn't understand her question at first, but he soon understood. In the night sky that was lit up by fireworks, he saw Shen Mingzheng walking towards him.

He arrived in Rongcheng.

At this moment, there were many people backstage, busy finishing up the show, but Su Ning saw him at first sight in the busy crowd.

"If I should take a new step," Ji Xue looked at him, "I think you should too."

She saw that it was lively and didn't mind giving it a push.

She didn't know how someone like Su Ning faced love, and she wanted to see.

Shen Mingzheng quickened his pace after seeing Su Ning, but it took him some time to get here and he didn't hear the conversation.

After hearing what Ji Xue said, Su Ning was silent for a while, and unconsciously crossed his hands on his legs, like a primary school student who was studying. He said in a matter-of-fact way: "I don't really understand it now... I haven't done any research in this field before, so I don't have much energy."

"Well, it's very simple. Just do whatever you want." Ji Xue looked at him with a straight face. "I see that you don't do business like this. You have to give it a try even if you are not completely sure."

"As for the project, just do it first and then talk about it. If there are any problems, you can always make changes. If you wait until you are absolutely sure before doing it, the market will be snatched away by others."

Ji Xue is right.

This is how it works in the business world: practice boldly and verify carefully; the answers and principles are learned from real life.

After she said this, Su Ning understood a little.

At this time, Shen Mingzheng had already walked up to him.

"How have you been lately?" Shen Mingzheng took a close look at his face. "You've been busy and haven't eaten much. I see your face has become thinner."

He reached out to touch Su Ning's face, but found that the other person's eyes were a little dazed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Because Ji Xue was beside him, Shen Mingzheng still gave her some snacks, nodded politely, and told her, "Everything is fine at the Shen family, you don't have to worry."

Ji Xue knew this, and she had no interest in being a lightbulb, so she winked at Su Ning and quickly walked away.

But at this time, the two of them didn't have much chance to talk, not to mention that there were fans outside. Following the arrangements of the organizer, a lane was reserved for departure. The young idols packed up and opened the car windows to say goodbye to everyone when they left. Ji Xue of course went with them back to the hotel where they were staying.

There is a small problem at this time.

It is now the peak tourist season in Rongcheng, and this hotel does not have enough rooms. Of course there are rooms that have been booked in advance through the group, but Ji Xue and Shen Mingzheng both came here temporarily today, so the hotel tried its best, but only had one room available.

"Ji Xue, go ahead," Su Ning said, "Ming Zheng, come with me."

Shen Mingzheng naturally agreed when he heard this.

Su Ning was a little silent along the way, but that was because they were going back with the team, and it was not easy to say anything in front of so many people. Now they were in the room, and as soon as the door was closed, Su Ning went in and took off his coat. The two of them were alone, and then they heard Shen Mingzheng say behind them: "I came here to tell you that Jianfeng will be handed over to us. I'm afraid we will be busy in the future."

"Also, what happened to those people who were previously involved with Jianfeng..."

He had been hesitant about whether to tell Su Ning about this, fearing that he would think the measures were too cruel. Even though he had not done it himself, there was no doubt that Shen Mingzheng had been instrumental in it.

What he didn't expect was that before he could finish speaking, Su Ning turned around and suddenly called his name: "Shen Mingzheng."

Shen Mingzheng responded.

Su Ning stared at him for a while.

This person's appearance is indeed pleasing to the eye no matter how he looks at him. This was the feeling he had the first time he saw him.

Since he's already married, it's only natural for him to give it a try.

Then, Su Ning stood on tiptoe, raised her head and kissed him.

To be honest, he himself didn't feel much.

He just came in from outside, and in this weather, he felt Shen Mingzheng was a little cold, so his lips were cold too. It was just so brief, so of course he didn't feel anything else.

He tried it and thought it was pretty good.

Su Ning even wanted to continue what he had just said: "Lü Fei just told me what happened to those people. It was just retribution for evil deeds. I don't have any opinion on it."

But he felt that Shen Mingzheng came here specially, so he must have more to say than just this matter, there must be something else.

But Shen Mingzheng was completely stunned.

He no longer had any thoughts about his other work, the Shen family, or anything else in his mind. He had forgotten everything and almost thought he was living in a dream.

But he was only stunned for a moment.

The next second after he reacted, he grabbed Su Ning's waist and pressed him onto the sofa behind him.
