Chapter 35 Invitation
After Chu Yunshu killed Qi Xiubai with his own hands, he threw away the jade pendant.
Later... he didn't remember. He didn't remember whether the jade pendant was smashed to pieces, nor did he remember whether he had looked for it. After Qi Xiubai died, he didn't remember many things.
He only remembered that there was a blooming peach blossom carved in the middle of the jade pendant.
When Chu Yunshu woke up, it was already bright.
He rubbed his eyes and touched the jade pendant on his chest out of habit, but it was empty.
When he looked up again, the sunlight shone through the non-light-blocking curtains, and he saw the blue sky and bright sunshine outside, and he slowly came back to his senses.
There is no jade pendant, no Qi Xiubai, and no Nan Yuchao.
The recording of "The Journey of Music" is once a week. This is the only job Chu Yunshu has at hand at the moment. Zhou Yan has not made any other arrangements for him in his free time, so he can only sit around.
Because he signed a "sale contract" with the company, he cannot take any other work privately. Otherwise, even if it is a breach of contract, the penalty is not something he can afford.
Chu Yunshu could only accept his fate and sit idle.
This is also one of the ways Lin Yang and others force him.
Without a job and no income, one day he will have to bow down for a living.
No matter how self-righteous you are, you have to survive first.
After getting up and having breakfast, Chu Yunshu took out his mobile phone to check Qingyue Mountain. Anyway, the program would not be recorded until next Friday. If possible, he wanted to go to Qingyun Mountain to find Ji Heng.
He really wanted to find out the connection between Nan Yu and this world as soon as possible and didn't want to wait any longer.
But when he turned on his phone, he found that Qingyue Mountain was not located in Nancheng, and there was no high-speed rail or plane going directly there. It would take at least two days to drive there.
Not to mention that the round trip was very time-consuming, Chu Yunshu didn't know how to drive and didn't have a car.
Going directly to Qingyun Mountain to find Ji Heng is not an option.
So the next thing to do is to find a way to go to the charity dinner.
Last night he heard Feng Zhao mention that the charity dinner that Ji Heng might attend was called "Xinghui Charity".
So he began to search for information about "Star Charity" on the Internet, but unfortunately there was nothing useful. "Star Charity" was initiated by an entertainment company called Star Media, and its parent company was a shipping company under the Leng family.
Leng Group was founded by the second branch of the Leng family. Because the old man had no descendants, the company was later given to Leng Haoqing, the third son of Mr. Leng from the first branch of the Leng family.
Under the management of Leng Haoqing, the Leng Group has made great progress in recent years. Although it cannot be compared with the Ji Group, unlike the Ji Group which has always been in the business world, the eldest and second sons of the Leng family's first branch are both people with considerable status in the political circle. Even when Mr. Leng was young, his status in the political circle was very important.
What's more, the Ji and Leng families are related by marriage, and Old Man Leng is the grandfather of Ji Chen and Ji Heng. Therefore, in the business world, the Ji family and the Leng family have a very close relationship and cooperate a lot, which can be considered a strong alliance.
The "Star Charity" organized by Star Media is based on the Leng family's name, and many well-known upper-class people come to participate every year.
However, not every charity dinner is organized by Star Media. Sometimes it is handed over to other partners or charitable organizations to host.
There is no definite information on the Internet as to who is responsible this year.
Chu Yunshu is now in a situation where everyone is pushing him down. He is isolated in the company and his agent simply ignores him, let alone helps him attend the charity dinner.
His personal connections were too limited and he couldn't think of an effective solution for the time being.
Therefore, the plan to get close to Ji Heng through the charity dinner had to be shelved temporarily.
Chu Yunshu had nothing to do, so he found a book and sat on the balcony to kill time. He had just opened the book when the phone rang. The person who called him was the old man he met in the villa halfway up the mountain that night.
After Chu Yunshu finished playing the piece, the old man asked for Chu Yunshu's phone number and said that he hoped to have another chance to discuss tea ceremony and music with him.
The old man was somewhat similar to Prime Minister Wen who had retired and returned to his hometown, not in appearance, but in personality and the smiling expression on his face when he spoke.
I can't help but want people to get close to me.
In order to protect Chu Yunshu, Prime Minister Wen did not hesitate to put his own son and grandson in danger, and under the claws of the Queen Mother's party, Chu Yunshu at least seemed to live safely until the age of nineteen.
If his great-grandson's life had not been seriously threatened later and Chu Yunshu had not tried his best to persuade him, he would probably have stayed with his life and held on to the end.
Although he was entrusted by the late emperor, he also truly loved Chu Yunshu.
Looking at the words "Mr. Leng" on the screen, Chu Yunshu couldn't help but sigh. What a coincidence! He had just read a lot of news about the Leng family, and now he received a call from Mr. Leng.
I don’t know if this old Mr. Leng and the Leng in the Leng family are the same Leng.
I guess there wouldn’t be such a coincidence in the world, and even if there was, the plot wouldn’t be in his favor.
Chu Yunshu quickly answered the phone: "Mr. Leng."
"Jinzhi, are you busy?" As soon as the old man's voice came out, Chu Yunshu actually had an urge to cry. It was very strange because he was obviously not such an emotional person.
Maybe it’s because no one has called him “Jinzhi” for a long time.
"Not busy." Chu Yunshu adjusted his mood.
"It's like this. I have two old friends coming over. I told them about the piece you played, and they all want to meet you. So I wanted to ask you if it would be convenient for you to come over."
Mr. Leng's speaking speed, tone and voice are very similar to Prime Minister Wen.
Before Chu Yunshu could answer, Mr. Leng said, "Don't feel burdened. If it's inconvenient, just tell us directly. It's okay. We old men are relatively free, unlike you young people..."
"Mr. Leng, I'm not busy. You can come over. Give me an address and I'll call..."
Chu Yunshu interrupted Mr. Leng and wanted to say that he would take a taxi, but before he could finish his words, he heard Mr. Leng laugh twice:
"Give me your address and I'll have the driver pick you up. There's no rush."
He could tell that Mr. Leng was very happy.
In fact, he was also very happy. He didn't expect that there would be a day when he would be invited. An invitation like a friend.
Chu Yunshu added Mr. Leng’s WeChat and sent him the address. Forty minutes later, he received a call from the driver, saying that he had arrived downstairs of his dormitory.
Chu Yunshu hurried downstairs.
The car that came was a low-key-looking nanny car. Chu Yunshu didn’t know the brand of the car, but he just felt that it was very comfortable to sit in.
The car drove to the villa halfway up the mountain, but did not go through the same door that Chu Yunshu and Lin Yang used when they attended the cocktail party last time. Instead, they went around to a door at the back of the villa.
After entering, the car drove along a ginkgo avenue for ten minutes.
The ginkgo trees on both sides of the road have just sprouted and are not lush, but the tender green on the branches gives people infinite vitality and shines in the sunlight.
Soon, the car stopped in front of a palace-like building, and Mr. Leng was already waiting at the door.
There were two octogenarians standing next to him. Like Mr. Leng, their hair was completely white and their faces showed signs of time, but they looked very energetic.
