Chapter 205 Impeccable Beauty
On Monday, Chen Qing properly saved the audio and video recordings on his mobile phone and devoted all his energy to the welcome party.
At noon, Yuan Hui's fiancé came to deliver a nutritious meal and also brought one for her.
The three of them sat in the car. Yuan Hui reclined the seat and casually asked, "Will Mr. Jiang come tonight?"
Chen Qing shook his head, "I didn't tell him."
"You won't let him come to support us?"
She swallowed her food and said, "I'm busy. I don't have time."
In fact, Jiang Jingyan was always paying attention to the school. It was impossible for him not to know that Chen Qing had a performance. However, the two of them had no contact, so she didn't mention it.
Yuan Hui had a poor appetite, so she ate a little reluctantly, then lay down and closed her eyes to rest. "Following a man like this, while it's certainly glorious, it's also really lonely. Taking time off to date is like being in a long-distance relationship."
Chen Qing said nothing.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. To outsiders, Jiang Jingyan was glorious and prominent, but he had little time to enjoy it. Before retiring, he was cleaning up unhealthy practices and his head was on the line. He could not guarantee that some of his comrades who had not been eradicated thoroughly would bear a grudge against him, and some enemies even poured gasoline on him, almost killing each other.
He had thought that after retreating to Washington, he would be able to relax a little, but in the end, it was still the same problem.
In the early years, Chen Qing understood his hard work and lived quietly in the Luo family, trying not to burden him. Now, for the sake of the Chen family, he may have to be a burden.
She rubbed the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand and swallowed the bitterness in her throat.
The last rehearsal before the performance was at three o'clock. When Chen Qing and Yuan Hui returned to the auditorium, they saw Yan Baiqing outside the door.
The school leaders surrounded him and another man in an executive jacket, presumably the new leader.
A teacher in the academy revealed that the city is preparing for this year's national music exhibition and is planning to select outstanding students from two key music schools.
Yan Baiqing should be the previous leader who acts as a go-between and accompanies the new leader in the educational unit's visit and inspection.
The last time they met to deliver documents, Chen Qing spoke decisively and his words were harsh. Their eyes met, but without stopping, they went their separate ways.
Like a stranger.
Before going on stage, Chen Qing handed her cell phone to Yuan Hui's future husband and asked him to keep it for her to avoid any mishaps.
At 7:30, the welcome party officially began.
When the host reported on the folk music program, a man in a black suit hurried in from the side, found Yan Baiqing in the front row, and whispered to him with his head down.
The latter frowned suddenly, glanced at the stage and waved.
The school leader noticed and approached to ask, "Mr. Yan, is there anything you need to do?"
"Yes, I'm in trouble." Yan Baiqing stroked his cufflinks, then nodded and stood up. "I'll take my leave now."
He walked to the side door and turned around, and Chen Qing happened to come on stage.
Under the light, she was graceful in her dress, with her hair tied back, revealing her entire face, which was fair and harmless. The pearly white earrings made her look gentle and elegant, an impeccable beauty.
The moment the music sounded, the side door flashed and closed.
Yan Baiqing came outside the auditorium and saw a police car not far away, and his eyelids jumped.
As we approached, several men in neat uniforms got out of the car and saluted neatly, "Mr. Yan, you're here too."
"What's going on?" Yan Baiqing glanced around. "I heard you're here looking for a student."
"Yes, last night you reported to the police that a jeweler that Yan's company was working with had a tax loophole. We checked and found that the counterfeit Nanhong bracelet was in the hands of a student."
"It's just a question, is there any need to attract so much attention?"
The man choked and chuckled, "I'm anxious to give you an explanation."
Yan Baiqing didn't appreciate it. He unbuttoned his suit, took off his jacket, hung it on his arm, and asked casually, "What's your name?"
"Chen Qing, junior in the Department of Folk Music."
He paused, his face solemn, "Jingyan's fiancée?"
The man's eyes widened as he looked at his colleague, "Mr. Jiang? We didn't—"
Yan Baiqing raised his chin slightly and said in a serious tone, "If you want to take Miss Chen away, you'd better ask Jingyan first."
The man quickly thanked him for the reminder and ordered his subordinates to contact Jiang Jingyan.
"Also." He looked her up and down. "No matter what her status is, she is first and foremost a student. Taking her away like this will have a bad influence. I will personally escort her there."
The man was embarrassed and didn't say anything.
"Why, you don't trust me?"
"I dare not."
Yan Baiqing made the final decision, "Wait outside the school and follow my car."
He was obviously suppressing his temper, and the man did not refuse again.
The auditorium was filled with cheers as students from the Chinese Music Department took their bows. Yan Baiqing stood at the side door with his hands behind his back. He vaguely heard freshmen cheering in the audience, mentioning Chen Qing's name.
He had heard about Chen Qing's fame in the Department of Traditional Chinese Music. The department head said that among the three freshmen, Chen Qing had the most fans, and people often asked about him before school started.
He has good grades and good looks, but he is usually aloof and unwilling to interact with others. Yan Baiqing was also young once and knows what these boys are thinking.
He watched the figure retreat behind the curtain and waited for a while. The person in charge backstage nodded to him in the corner.
As night fell, Yan Baiqing stood beside the car. Not long after, Chen Qing appeared at the back door of the auditorium, looked around, and his eyes fell on him.
"Mr. Yan." Chen Qing panted, "Teacher said the police are looking for me?"
The man's eyes lingered on her face, and his tone couldn't help but be gentle, "Don't be afraid, I'll go with you."
Chen Qing was stunned, "No need to bother..."
"It's Yan's case." Yan Baiqing opened the car door. "I should be there."
She is still hesitating.
"Do you want to be taken away in a police car in front of everyone?"
Panic flashed in Chen Qing's eyes. He sat down obediently, mumbling incoherently.
Yan Baiqing controlled the steering wheel and laughed out loud after holding it in for a long time. "I gave you a ride, and you're still scolding me?"
"No." She denied.
"You scheming bastard." He repeated word for word. "Are you scolding me?"
Chen Qing's face flushed, and he turned his head away, "You heard wrong."
"You have a Nanhong bracelet on your hand. Who gave it to you?"
She was stunned. "How do you know?"
Yan Baiqing's profile was lost in the fleeting light and shadow outside the window. He spoke in a low, serious voice, "There's a jeweler in the Yan family who's suspected of rigged auctions, forged appraisal certificates, and using the proceeds to launder money."
Chen Qing clutched the seatbelt tightly, breathing unsteadily, "Is it mine?"
"Yours is just fake. He used the fake as collateral to get a bank loan, and then declared it to customs to cover up the genuine product and evade tax."
"It was Ms. Xu... She gave me a gift at the Yan's Jewelry Exhibition."
The red light at the intersection, Yan Baiqing stopped and turned around, "Boss Xu colluded with the jeweler and escaped last night."
Chen Qing's mind went blank, and his lips moved weakly. "What crime will I be charged with?"
His expression was gloomy and he patted the back of her hand to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
On the other side, Lian Zhuo drove to the Municipal Bureau.
Before the car stopped completely, Jiang Jingyan pushed the door and stepped out. He had such a strong aura that Lian Zhuo almost had to jog to catch up with him.
Liang Jing met him in the hall, "Don't worry, I've asked about the situation——"
"I accepted it." Jiang Jingyan didn't look at her. Facing the police officer, his chest heaving violently, his breath burning, his facial features sharp and sharp. "It has nothing to do with Chen Qing. Investigate me."
Liang Jing was stunned, then punched him, "What are you crazy about!"
