Chapter 309: Unemployed
Chu Ge thought this old man was interesting, and he stood out like a crane among chickens in the atmosphere of licking Robin at this moment - well, the other party probably saw them that way too.
But there was a reason why others licked him. The emotional excitement brought by the previous concert had not been eliminated. Chu Ge could understand the behavior of other people in the audience, but this old man was the weird one.
"Could it be that this old man is just like us and doesn't understand much of the meaning of music?" Chu Ge couldn't help but ask.
The old man was stunned for a moment, then laughed even more happily: "So you guys are the same. Damn, it's really weird to see them with tears streaming down their faces. It sounds like they are a bit disappointed and upset, so why cry? I know a few of them very well. They didn't cry like that when their mother died. I don't know how to ask."
Chu Ge laughed and asked, "If you don't like to listen to music, why would you come here? The ticket is expensive."
"You don't understand. Do you think everyone here likes to listen to this kind of pure music? I know quite a few people who are good enough to sing a few lines of Phoenix Legend. When have you ever seen them listen to pure piano music?"
"…Phoenix Legend is pretty good. I'd love to hear their concert if it happens."
The old man patted Chu Ge's shoulder vigorously: "You have good vision!"
"So what are you doing?"
"Because it's been a long time since I've had concert tickets worth thousands of dollars, my son got one for me, saying it would be a good way to relax and see the world's top piano performance."
"Is this the reason why it's so expensive?"
"Not really. In fact, not many people actually buy tickets. Most of them are free tickets given to people in the industry who may be related to the sea park. Otherwise, how can they be so accurate." The old man chuckled: "As for the others, those who actually buy tickets at such an expensive price are either true fans or have too much money to burn. I think it's useful for them."
Chu Ge said: "It's useful... Is there something else the old man said?"
"You said his music can confuse people, and I understand something." The old man turned his head to look at the auction house and whispered, "This two-pronged approach is quite interesting... Some people here are just speculating to save the secretary-general's face, while some are real music lovers who have become 'star-chasers' because of music... As for the few of us who don't understand, they don't care."
Chu Ge said: "So why use such radical and secretive methods to build a marine park? Are you ashamed to do so or are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"
"Who knows? He has his own ideas." The old man didn't care much: "Most likely Robin won't stay for too long. He will just establish an image tonight. His assistant team will probably take over in the future."
Chugo spat, "What a shame! These self-proclaimed elegant concerts all have a purpose."
"So you don't know much about music, little brother. What are you doing here? Or did you get a ticket from an elder? Whose family are you from? Maybe I know you?"
"Hey, I just want to see how awesome such an expensive show is, and how much money is wasted."
The old man laughed.
The two clinked their glasses and drank them all in one gulp. Chu Ge didn't intend to ask who he was. The old man seemed to want to ask, but he smiled and disappeared. There was no need to ask again.
It was not until the old man left that Gu Ruoyan walked over to him speechlessly: "Hey, don't you know who he is?"
Chu Ge was stunned for a moment: "I should know who he is?"
"If you read more news, you should know Mr. Cheng Guangyao, the most famous musician in Nanjiang."
Chu Ge: "...I'm sorry, I really don't know any of these gentlemen. If you're talking about a big entrepreneur, I might have seen him on the news. He told me that he doesn't understand music..."
"You believe it too. He is just being modest. Am I telling you he is great?" Gu Ruoyan said unhappily, "There is a category of people who come to this kind of concert, besides the ones you mentioned, there is also a category of real musicians."
Chugo: "Fuck, then why wasn't he infected by the mood of the concert?"
"Is there a possibility that his musical attainments are higher than Robin's?"
"Hiss...that makes sense." Chu Ge subconsciously turned around to look for Mr. Cheng. He couldn't find him for a while, but unexpectedly saw another scene.
An auction was going on at this time. Small musical instruments or old films were brought to the stage one by one. Robin presided over the auction personally. Several items had already been auctioned. Chu Ge, Cheng Guangyao and Gu Ruoyan were chatting idly and didn't pay any attention to what was being auctioned.
This was an informal auction, and there were many people like them scattered around, chatting and laughing, watching the excitement in the venue.
Among them were many young boys and girls who came to listen to the concert. They surrounded Robin's assistants and talked and laughed. Many of them even stuck to Robin's assistants...even boys did so, which made Chu Ge feel a chill.
There are also some who seem reserved and haven’t posted one yet. Looking at the eyes looking at Robin, they are probably waiting for the auction to be over before posting one.
Chu Ge was very unhappy seeing this scene, but since he was not bewitched by any magic and it was a consensual thing, no one could interfere, so he just drank in silence.
At this moment, an assistant was seen making sexual advances towards a young girl.
This girl was not that fanatical. She seemed to have the enthusiasm of a fan, but at least she didn't stick to him like the others. As a result, the assistant, who was not sure if he was floating or something, reached out to hug her.
The girl was startled and hid behind.
The assistant said something viciously, but Chu Ge didn't hear clearly. He just saw a slap in the face. The girl was stunned and ran away crying, covering her face.
Chu Ge stood up straight, but before he could make any move, he saw the assistant take out a small harmonica and smash it on the ground, shouting angrily: "She broke our next auction item!"
Security guards immediately surrounded her and stopped the girl.
The auction hall stopped making noises and everyone looked over.
The girl burst into tears: "No, he molested me and beat me. I didn't even see the harmonica. He smashed it himself!"
Robin smiled gracefully: "Can anyone tell me what happened?"
He looked at the assistant, who nodded slightly. Seeing this strange detail, Chu Ge frowned again. If he was questioning what happened, why would the assistant have such an attitude?
I didn't understand it for a moment, but I heard the boys and girls over there saying, "We don't know, we didn't see it clearly..."
Although they said they didn’t see it clearly, a few people actually saw it clearly. They all lowered their heads with flickering eyes and said nothing.
Someone in the auction hall pointed at the girl and shouted angrily: "You are bringing shame to the Chinese people! Why don't you pay me back?"
The girl burst into tears: "It's really not..."
"Hey..." Robin waved his hand: "It's just a small item. If it's broken, it's broken. I'll just cancel the auction. But miss, can you please apologize?"
"I won't!" the girl cried, "He molested me and hit me, how come I have to apologize?"
"That's just nonsense!" The secretary general said with a dark face, "Mr. Robin has been very polite. He doesn't want compensation, just an apology, but you are still denying it!"
Cheng Guangyao's voice came: "Wait a minute. I've bought this thing. Is 100,000 enough?"
Robin was stunned for a moment, and could only say: "Too many..."
"Not much." Cheng Guangyao said calmly: "Now this is my property. I'll give it to her to smash. I don't need to apologize to anyone after I smash it."
Everyone was silent for a moment, and the girl was still sobbing: "He molested me... He should apologize to me..."
Cheng Guangyao frowned, feeling a little tricky.
He took the initiative to do this, of course he saw something fishy, in fact, it was not just him, at least half of the people present were smart and had seen it long ago. But who would offend others for an ordinary girl who came to the concert?
This is an investment promotion event led by the Secretary-General and with many officials present. It is foreign investment. If you interfere, you will not only offend the Secretary-General, but may also lead to the withdrawal of foreign investment, affect political achievements and even surprise friendly countries and affect the international image. Who will take responsibility?
Everyone has a family and a career. Who wants to cause trouble for such a small matter? Cheng Guangyao's approach was the most decent. It was basically impossible to ask the person who hit him to apologize.
Chu Ge looked at Gu Ruoyan and said, "I saw it. It was that white guy who teased people and beat them up when he failed to succeed."
Gu Ruoyan avoided his gaze and whispered, "Mr. Cheng's handling of the matter is already very good..."
Chu Ge said calmly: "Is it for the sake of the overall situation? Did the girl get beaten for nothing? You are also a woman."
Gu Ruoyan sighed: "The mission is one thing... Chu Ge, you are in the system, you have to follow the rules, but you also have concerns..."
Chu Ge nodded, suddenly strode forward, grabbed the assistant and punched him viciously.
Before anyone could react, there was a loud bang, and the assistant's nose was broken and blood spurted out.
"We're even now. No need to apologize." Chu Ge threw the assistant away like trash, and said in a relaxed tone, "Isn't it simple?"
Everyone was stunned.
After being in a daze for several seconds, the secretary-general stood up tremblingly and pointed at Chu Ge angrily: "You...you are just fooling around! Which unit are you from!"
"Me?" Chu Ge turned his head and glanced at Gu Ruoyan, then smiled brightly, "I'm an unemployed vagrant."
