Genius Club.

Chapter 120 Ordinary
After entering the guild hall.

Zhao Yingjun quickly got in touch with the female singer.

After meeting the female singer, the communication between the two sides went smoothly.

The female singer's stage name is Milk, Miao Ke. Lin Xian has also heard her songs. Her voice is very sweet and she is indeed very suitable to sing the theme song for Rhine Cat.

It can be seen that Zhao Yingjun really put his heart into this matter.

After listening to the demo, Miao Ke also praised the song highly and said she liked it very much.

This cooperation was achieved happily.

Everything went as Lin Xian wished, efficient and time-saving.

Subsequently.

The dance has entered its formal stage.

The waltz music started playing, and all the handsome men and beautiful women joined their partners and danced on the dance floor.

Lin Xian wisely left the middle of the hall and sat with Zhao Yingjun at an outer table to eat snacks.

He knew that Zhao Yingjun never danced at parties.

Even though many outstanding and handsome men invited her, she always politely refused.

Since I'm here today, I don't even have to bother with saying no.

Generally, when people see her with a male companion, they will leave tactfully and not disturb her.

Lin Xian is very clear about his position. He just needs to sit here, eat and drink, and act as a shield.

But even so...

From time to time, a few 18th-tier male stars and male models would invite Zhao Yingjun to dance.

Lin Xian admitted that these men were indeed handsome and exquisite, just like sculptures, and there were also some foreign models.

They probably all saw that Zhao Yingjun was worth a lot of money and wanted to look for some opportunities.

Zhao Yingjun didn't even raise her eyes to this tactless move, Lin Xian blocked it for her:
"I'm sorry, our President Zhao is already very tired."

Those people could only give Lin Xian a cold look and leave in disappointment.

……

"Do you think today's dance is boring?"

The music in the hall became more and more passionate. Zhao Yingjun ate snacks, drank red wine, and looked at Lin Xian.

Lin Xian neither nodded nor shook his head:
"It's okay. I think it's not much different from the previous dinner party held by Chu Shanhe."

"That's a huge difference. They're not even on the same level." Zhao Yingjun glanced at the men and women dancing on the dance floor.
"Do you know what the most grand, largest, and highest-level banquet is held in Donghai City's business district every year?"

Lin Xian shook his head.

"It will be five days later, on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, when Chu Shanhe organizes the East China Chamber of Commerce New Year's Dinner every year."

Zhao Yingjun smiled:

"That's a real dinner party with many big names gathered. It's also the most important event in Donghai City every year. You really should go there and take a look."

Sudden.

The music in the entire hall suddenly stopped.

The men and women who were dancing enthusiastically stopped and looked at the entrance of the hall.

Several policemen with serious faces blocked the entire door. The leading police officer glanced at everyone in the venue:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to interrupt your elegant mood."

"But to protect your personal safety, please stand still and cooperate with our investigation!"

Lin Xian glanced at his watch.

It was just past nine o'clock, and he had been planning to chat with Zhao Yingjun for a while, but he made the excuse that he had something to do and drove Zhao Yingjun away early.

But what are these policemen here for?

For a moment, the whole place was in an uproar.

Everyone was talking about it.

The leading police officer signaled for everyone to be quiet and explained the reason:

"We received a report that one of your female singers was hated by a fanatical fan because she made her relationship public a few days ago. He publicly stated in the QQ group that he wanted to commit suicide with this female singer."

"This kind of thing is actually not uncommon, but most of them are limited to online comments without any action. But this fanatical fan may have some mental problems... To be on the safe side, we plan to directly protect the target. Please don't move around and cooperate with our search."

"We don't know where the criminals are now, or whether they are lurking nearby. We suggest that you end this activity immediately after the search and leave the venue as soon as possible."

……

After the police comrade finished speaking, Miao Ke, the female singer who had just discussed with Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun, turned pale!

Miao Ke, as her name suggests, is very sweet and cute, and she also goes for the pure and sweet style.

But apart from her main job as a singer, she has not been involved in the entertainment and variety show circles, and can be considered a very dedicated singer.

Some time ago, she made her relationship public, and the person she loved was her childhood sweetheart who was also her agent.

Without any scandals or gossip, their love has been blessed by many netizens and fans.

In fact, times have changed now, and everyone can now accept the romances of some celebrity singers.

This isn't a big deal.

It has no impact on Miao Ke's career.

She has always been on the path of a powerful actress and doesn't need to create a persona.

But... after all, celebrities can't control their fans, and they can't do anything if their fans get sick.

"I, I'll go back right now!" Miao Ke's face turned pale and she was extremely scared.

The leading police officer nodded:

"Don't be afraid. We will get you home safely. But first, we need to control the scene and do a basic search. Everyone, please don't move. It will be over soon."

……

Afterwards, the police searched every corner of the venue and confirmed that there was nothing serious.

Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

But after this incident, there was no intention to continue the banquet, and everyone left one after another.

"Let's go too, Lin Xian."

Lin Xian nodded, took out the Bentley car keys from his pocket, and walked towards the parking lot with Zhao Yingjun.

The sudden incident just now was quite scary.

Fanatical fans have caused a lot of trouble over the years.

Lin Xian intuitively felt that according to the original course of history, Zhao Yingjun might have been involved in this shooting.

After all, shootings are still very rare in Dragon Country, and the probability of two incidents occurring in the same place on the same day is extremely small.

Now the whole story is clear.

The gunman was definitely not targeting Zhao Yingjun; his target was the female singer Miao Ke.

The criminal wanted to kill her, then commit suicide, and her so-called love suicide...

Lin Xian guessed.

In the original history, the criminals may have successfully shot Miao Ke, but it is unknown why Zhao Yingjun was involved.

Anyway, according to the original historical trend, the shooting would have happened at midnight, which is still early now...which means that the criminals are most likely ambushing Miao Ke somewhere else.

But let the police solve the case.

For Lin Xian’s purpose.

The most important thing is to go home early and take a detour home.

……

Everyone at the party scattered like birds and beasts.

Miao Ke left under the escort of the police, and the remaining men and women ran to the parking lot, got into their cars and left.

Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun walked straight to the luxurious Bentley Continental GT. This blue convertible luxury car was really eye-catching and stood out from the crowd. Zhao Yingjun opened the door and got in.

Lin Xian also sat in the main driver's seat, started the car with one button, turned out, stepped on the accelerator and accelerated away.
……

buzzing-

The sound and vibration of the W12 engine are intoxicating.

Lin Xian drove very fast, passing one intersection after another.

Zhao Yingjun looked at the scenery on the roadside and suddenly turned his head:
"Are you going the wrong direction?"

"Ah, really?"

Lin Xian pretended to react and looked at the road sign at the intersection ahead:

"It seems I did go the wrong way. Sorry, I was just thinking about something."

"You should change lanes to the right and get on the elevated road..." Zhao Yingjun smiled helplessly, leaning his elbow on the door frame and supporting his right cheek:
"Alas, there's no way to change it now. You've taken a completely roundabout way. You'll have to go a long way to get back."

Lin Xian was also embarrassed and smiled:
"It's mainly because I'm not familiar with this area and I don't drive often, so I'm a bit rusty."

"I see it."

Zhao Yingjun looked at the scenery on the right and said calmly:

"Your driving skills are really not that good. You need to find some time to practice."

"Ok."

"Turn left up ahead onto the elevated road. Don't go the wrong way again. You'll have to go around a long way just now."

"okay."

Lin Xian turned on the left turn signal, got on another overpass, and drove around the outermost circle of Donghai City.

The evening breeze blows by.

Blowing up Zhao Yingjun's bangs:

"Lin Xian."

She said softly:
"You have helped me so much during this period of time. I am still very grateful to you."

"Without your help, whether it's Rhine Cats, Professor Xu Yun's authorization, or the theme song of Rhine Cats this time... perhaps none of them would have achieved what they have now."

She turned her head, the bustling neon lights in the distance reflected in her pupils:
"You are indeed a very capable person, not just in terms of talent, but in all aspects. I admire you very much."

Lin Xian maintained the speed and smiled:
"It's an honor for me to be recognized by you."

The roaring W12 blue beast drew a graceful arc in the night, merged into the main road viaduct, and continued to move forward alone.

"If one day you really want to leave MX, I will support you."

Zhao Yingjun lowered his head and looked forward again:

"As you said a few days ago, you also have your ambition, and you also want to build your own business. I am not the kind of person who clings to talent and won't let go. On the contrary, I admire those who have ideas, abilities and perseverance."

"But... there is one thing I'm still curious about."

She smiled inexplicably and beautifully, using her delicate index finger to push the loose hair on her cheeks behind her ears, letting the wind blow it:

"To be honest, I always thought that you were not such a motivated person."

"Although I didn't have much contact with you before, I have a general impression of everyone in the company. You have always given me the impression of being a very Buddhist and ordinary person..."

"I'm not saying this kind of life is bad. To me, as long as each of you can do your job well, you are a good employee."

"But it's obvious...you've changed a lot during this period. You've become very active and attentive to many things. Your entire mental state has changed, as if...you suddenly have a [goal]."

She turned her head again and looked at Lin Xian.

The light and shadow of the Oriental Pearl Tower in the distance is reflected in my eyes, showing two colorful splendors:

"[Can you tell me... why is this happening?]"

……

The speed limit on this elevated line is 80 kilometers per hour, but the speed of the vehicles is getting faster and faster.

Lin Xian didn't know how to answer this question.

He couldn't figure out the purpose of Zhao Yingjun asking this question.

Is it a test?
Have you discovered your own "purpose"?
Or... is it just simply caring about your subordinates?

In fact, Lin Xian himself realized that he had changed a lot in all aspects since Xu Yun's death.

He is not the kind of character who transforms into a heroic savior, but he more or less blames himself for Xu Yun's unexpected and tragic death... and then feels guilty, and then regrets, and then wants to figure out everything and find the murderer.

There is no doubt now that the murderer must be related to the Genius Club.

Therefore, Lin Xian's current actions do have a clear "purpose", including his active participation in Zhao Yingjun's affairs... The purpose is to gain her trust as soon as possible, know the password of the office password door, and then see the content of the invitation letter.

Zhao Yingjun was not wrong.

His transformation was indeed purposeful.

But at this time...

How can I explain this?

“Because I have experienced the taste of success.”

Lin Xian looked at the road ahead and said softly:

"I have lived a mediocre life for 23 years and have never achieved any success. The most impressive achievement I had before was probably winning the city parkour league championship for three years in high school and hosting several school anniversary parties in college."

"Perhaps I have always been in a state of low desire because I myself cannot access desire. In fact, I am now..."

After a pause, Lin Xian glanced over and looked at the neon in Zhao Yingjun's eyes:

“【Now I am eager to succeed. I don’t want to live an ordinary life.】”

After hearing this, Zhao Yingjun didn't say anything more.

She simply leaned back and laid back on the seat pillow.

Close your eyes.

A breath comes out through the nose. :
"alright."

……

After a few minutes, Zhao Yingjun's WeChat notification sounded.

She clicked it and saw it was a message from Miao Ke.

"Miao Ke has arrived home safely."

Zhao Yingjun said to Lin Xian:

"Before I left, I said hello to her and told her to send me a message when she got home safely."

"Okay, that's good." Lin Xian concentrated on driving.

"You know Miao Ke?!"

suddenly!

A hoarse voice came from behind!
This……

This is a car traveling at 100 mph on the viaduct!
Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun looked back in shock——

A tattered man climbed out from under the narrow back seat!

He stood up with a grim look on his face, holding a bunch of crushed flowers in his arms...

Click!

The man pulled out an old double-barreled shotgun from the bouquet of flowers and pointed it at Lin Xian's forehead!
"Turn back and concentrate on driving!"

His eyes were fierce and his voice was hoarse:

"Turn back now..."

"Take me to see Miao Ke now!!"
