Bamboo Horse Pianist III

Chapter 2

You said, I don't allow you to hate me, but fleeting time, you know, I like you at any time; I hate you when you like someone else.

Part1
On Wednesday, as soon as Chumo arrived at the company, she was brought to a dinner by the boss. After drinking for three rounds, she felt a little boring.

When she took out her mobile phone, the group had already exploded.

"Chu Mo! Have you seen Mu Liunian? Is he even more handsome than on TV?"

"Chu Mo! Please see Mr. Mu! Please see Mr. Mu!"

"Hurry up and secretly take a photo of Mr. Mu and share it in the group!"

"We are waiting for you in the group! Waiting for you! Waiting for you!"

"..."

With such a heavy burden on his back, Chu Mo raised his head and subconsciously looked at the man sitting in the middle above the dining table.

Someone in the group has quickly shared his introduction: Mu Liunian, English name Leonardo Mu, 32 years old, 182 cm, handsome, famous pianist, medical scientist, currently the chairman and head of CM Group, owns Harvard business College master's degree, proficient in six languages.He is low-key and decisive, and is known as the most perfect man in the eyes of people all over the world.

At this moment, the perfect man is wearing a white shirt, legs crossed, and his long fingers are playing with the phone.On his wrist was a Tiffany & Co. bead bracelet, a style she was familiar with.It is said that no matter where he attends, he wears this bracelet, so that the media have speculated who gave it to him, and what is the significance to him?

At this time, the woman sitting next to him put some dishes on his plate affectionately, so someone at the dinner table immediately made fun of: "Miss Lu is not only beautiful, but also so virtuous, and Mr. Mu is a match made in heaven!"

"Yes! I heard that there are so many women who pursue Mr. Mu, but only Ms. Lu has won Mrs. Mu's heart. It seems that the marriage is not far away, right?"

So there was another compliment during the dinner.

Sitting next to Mu Liunian, Lu Youjing had a shy smile on her lips. She looked at the man next to her, but saw that his expression was calm, and she ignored the compliments in her ears. The dishes didn't move for half a minute.

Lu Youjing moved her eyes away, hiding the disappointment in her eyes.

Chu Mo withdrew his thoughts and typed a sentence on the screen: "Indifferent, impersonal, are you sure you want to watch?"

Immediately in the group, there was an unanimous agreement——

"want!"

"must!"

"Definitely!"

"Absolutely!"

"..."

Chumo held the phone, looked at the man opposite, raised the phone, pretended to be flipping through the phone, and "clicked" on the handsome man to take a picture.

The phone camera was too loud, and the flashlight blinded the audience, and there was an eerie silence at the dining table.

During the dinner, everyone's eyes turned to her, some were mocking, some were smiling, some were thoughtful...

Chu Mo felt extremely embarrassed, and wished she could pull back her chair and run for the door.

She stupidly forgot to turn off the sound of the phone, forgetting to turn off the sound is fine, she even forgot that the phone comes with a flash light... What a shame!
In such a weird atmosphere, the man who had been silent all this time finally said, "Miss Yang is secretly taking pictures of me?"

Ms. Yang...Chu Mo was a little uncomfortable with this kind of address. She looked at the man across from her, and there was a cold joke in his dark eyes. Can't do well.

Chumo's original embarrassment became filled with righteous indignation in such eyes. She looked into his eyes and said, "It's not a candid shot! It's an aboveboard shot! My flashlight is on!"

"Really?" Mu Liunian was not too surprised by her non-blushing retort, but only said, "Then why is Miss Yang photographing me?"

"Because, because..." Chu Mo thought for a long time before saying, "Because you are so beautiful!"

Everyone took a deep breath. You must know that as a man, the most unbearable thing is to be told by a woman that he is beautiful, as if he is despising a man with a pretty face but no real talent. "Insulting", let alone a man like Mu Liunian who is so arrogant and arrogant, even if he is handsome, no media would dare to praise him as "beautiful".

Zhou Bai, the boss of the company who was sitting next to Chumo, changed his expression. Afraid that Chumo would offend Mu Liunian with his unscrupulous words, he quickly pulled Chumo and said, "Mr. Mu, Chumo has always been your loyal fan, and I just secretly took pictures of you , It’s also because you like her so much, you must not be as knowledgeable as her.” After finishing speaking, he urged Chu Mo to say, “Why don’t you toast to President Mu quickly?”

Seeing Zhou Bai personally pouring her a full glass of white wine, Chu Mo frowned, did he really want to drink it all?Would she die on the spot?
She habitually looked at Mu Liunian. This man was a highly regarded pianist in the eyes of others. He was also a business genius among pianists. He had even set foot in the medical field and won awards.Among so many names, no one knew that to her, Yang Chumo, he was just her fleeting brother... the man she loved the most since she was a child.

Yes, this man used to be her favorite man, her former bamboo horse, and her "ex-boyfriend" who just broke up.

At this moment, there was another woman beside him, and he was no longer like before. When he was forced to drink, he stood up to protect and ordered her domineeringly: "Without my permission, you are not allowed to drink on any occasion." .”

Sure enough, the newcomer replaced the old one. If someone is forcing Lu Youjing beside him to drink now, he will definitely stand up and escort him, right?Thinking of this, Chu Mo felt that her heart, which had been pretending to be calm, was aching again. She raised her wine glass and said to the man, "Mr. Mu, it was my fault for taking pictures of you without your permission. If you apologize, do it first and respect it!"

After speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

As soon as the white wine was in the mouth, the burning sensation poured into the lungs. Chu Mo felt that her entire stomach seemed to be on fire, and a feeling of vomiting welled up in her heart. She put down the wine glass and said quickly: "Sorry, I'll go Bathroom." He turned and left.

Part2
At the beginning and end of the year, I was careless about drinking, and as soon as I ran into the bathroom, I threw up in the dark. I rinsed my mouth with water for a long time before I felt a little relieved.

She looked up, looked at her pale complexion in the mirror, pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and tried to make herself look good.

This was the first meeting between her and Mu Liunian after they broke up, especially when he was present with his new lover, she must not lose face, she must show the courage to be justifiable even if it was a sneak shot just now!

Thinking of this, she said cheers to herself in the mirror three times in a row, and after making sure that she looked much better, she turned and walked to the box.

Although the white wine was spit out, there was still some alcohol left, which made Chu Mo's head dizzy for a moment. When she passed the corner in a vain way, her arm was suddenly pulled by someone, and her whole body was pulled in with a huge force. In the darkness, before she could scream, the door of the box was closed with a "bang".

There was a cold oppressive feeling in front of her, and the man's eyes were as dark as ink, staring straight at her.

Chumo frowned and looked at the man in front of him, raised his head and asked, "Mr. Mu, what are you doing?"

Because of this "Mr. Mu", Mu Liunian's eyes darkened and his complexion became colder and colder.

"At the beginning and end of the year, you are getting more and more willful."

In the ears, his deep voice was as cold as a millennium ice.

Through the faint light refracted in from the window, Chu Mo saw the charming handsome face that pushed himself against the door, the dark eyes exuded disturbing predation, and his thin lips were tightly pursed, that was His little gestures when he's angry.

He is angry, angry for what?Angry at her disobedience and drinking?But didn't he just look at each other coldly, didn't he make any move to save him?

Chumo tried to break free from his shackles, but it was completely useless. She was imprisoned by him between her arms and the back of the door, unable to move, so she could only stare at him and said, "I'm self-willed, what's wrong? Mu Liunian, you Don't forget, we have already broken up! What identity do you use to manage me!"

"Break up?" He leaned over, and his shallow breath passed by her ear inadvertently, Chu Mo's whole body trembled, he saw her reaction in his eyes, and the corners of his lips slightly raised, "Chu Mo, are you willing?"

Are you willing?Of course not willing!
But what's the use of her being alone?She glanced over her head and didn't look at him: "Isn't it a good thing for you to let me graciously let you out to other women?"

She will never forget that day when she happily ran to his company to have dinner with him, opened the office door and saw Lu Youjing hugging him.

Before that, every employee in the company thought that woman named Lu Youjing was the fiancée of Boss Mu, just because of his "special care" for her.But she believed in him, and simply ignored those so-called rumors, but she saw it with her own eyes that day, which made her feel that the whole world had collapsed.

"Chumo, I don't allow you to say such things."

Even though she couldn't see clearly in the dark, Chu Mo could still feel the anger in Mu Liunian's tone. She bit her lip and roared angrily, "That's what I want to say! Mu Liunian, let me tell you, I hate it." you!"

Mu Liunian narrowed his eyes, suppressing anger in his voice: "I don't allow you to hate me!"

The coldness in his eyes made Chu Mo shudder deeply, but she still told him stubbornly: "I just hate you! Mu Liunian! I hate you—uh!"

In the next second, her lips were kissed, and the touch was cold, deep into the bone marrow.

Chumo was ashamed and annoyed, and bit down hard on his lips.

With a muffled grunt, he backed away, and she felt the smell of blood overflowing her lips...it was his.

In the darkness, no one spoke, and the entire space was filled with silence.

I don't know how long it took, Chu Mo felt the pressure on her body was released, he left without saying a word, the door of the box was opened and closed, the cold wind from outside blew across her cheeks, and she was the only one left in the box one person.

She touched the temperature between her lips, it was cold and painful, if the pain on her lips did not remind her of the violent storm just now, she would even think that what happened just now was just a hallucination of her drunkenness.

You said, I don't allow you to hate me, but fleeting time, you know, I like you at any time; I hate you when you like someone else.

Part3
Chu Mo tidied himself up, and when he returned to the private room, Zhou Bai was toasting Mu Liunian. Seeing her come in, he hurriedly said, "It's just right, let's come together at Chu Mo to pay respects to Mr. Mu for the last drink!"

Only at the end of the month did I know that the banquet was about to end.

Just now, on the way back, she was also thinking about how to find an excuse to tell Zhou Bai that she had to go first, but now that this step was omitted, she picked up the glass and took a sip bluntly.

During the dinner, some sharp-eyed people saw that the corner of Liu Nian's mouth was cut, and they couldn't help laughing: "Why did Mr. Mu go to the bathroom, and the corner of his lip was broken? Could it be that he had an affair?"

For a moment, everyone's expressions were unpredictable.

Mu Liunian glanced lightly, then smiled lightly and said, "I was scratched by a kitten when I was passing by the bathroom."

Chu Mo lowered her head, not daring to meet his sweeping eyes at all, she only felt that her face was hot, and her heart seemed to be scratched by a cat's paw.

Who is that kitten, only she knows.

The banquet was over, and when Chu Mo came out with a group of people, the night wind blew past his ears, blowing away some of the wine.

Zhou Bai and the others were bidding farewell to Mu Liunian. Chu Mo stood aside, looking at the slightly swollen corner of the man's mouth opposite, thinking, it's all swollen, which means she bit hard just now, right?Does he not hurt?At that time, she thought he would bite back angrily...

Chumo's eyes gradually shifted from the corners of his mouth to his face. Those dark eyes, high nose bridge, and perfect facial features are deep and handsome. Even if his mouth is slightly swollen, it doesn't affect the man's handsome appearance at all.

He is such a good-looking man...

Feeling her gaze, Xu Shi turned his head slightly and met her eyes. That handsome face was calm and his eyes were like water.

Chu Mo's head buzzed, and she quickly glanced over, pretending not to see it, but the blush crept up her cheeks again.

While she was feeling uncomfortable, Mu Liunian had already turned around and left.

Next to my ears were the voices of other people talking: "Mr. Mu always takes Miss Lu with him wherever he goes. It seems that the marriage is not far away..."

"Yeah, it's a good match."

Looking at Chu Mo, the backs of the two walking away together, the man is tall and handsome, and the woman is petite, isn't it a good match?

She covered her heart, and it started to turn sore again, she couldn't help but curse, Yang Chumo!Can you have something to do?

"Let's go!" At this moment, Zhou Bai's voice came, she withdrew her thoughts, said "Oh", and got into the car with him.

The company Chumo belongs to is a relatively small media company in City B called Starlight Media, and Zhou Bai is the person in charge and boss of the company.

After Chumo broke up with Mu Liunian, he signed with this company as a "young pianist". He was a new pianist whom Zhou Bai strongly praised. Yes, willing to endure hardships, willing to work hard, arrange for newcomers who are willing to accept anything, obedient and talented.This is also the reason why Starlight Media has so many signed pianists, and he only brought her to this dinner.

Obediently following Zhou Bai into the car, before starting the car, Zhou Bai's calm voice came: "Do you know Mr. Mu from CM?"

Chu Mo said "Ah?", and Zhou Bai continued to ask in a neutral tone, "The wound on the corner of his mouth must have been bitten by you..."

"..." So now the bosses are all observing silently, are they fiery eyes?

Zhou Bai, who didn't get a reply, glanced at her in the rearview mirror, and said calmly, "It doesn't matter if you don't answer. What I said was an exclamation sentence, not a question sentence."

Beginning and end: "..."

During the first and last moments of silence, Zhou Bai, who had already got the answer from her expression, drove away...

There was no talking all the way, and the beginning and end were not cramped. She and Zhou Bai were in a superior-subordinate relationship, and they were more like old friends in private.

Zhou Bai is only in his early thirties, and he is still single. The reason for being single is infatuated. He is waiting for a woman who has someone else in his heart.Perhaps because of similar experiences, the first meeting between Chu Mo and him was like seeing an old friend. From the beginning of joining Starlight Media, the two of them did not feel alienated.

Zhou Bai kept driving Chu Mo to the door of her apartment, and when he got off the car, Chu Mo said: "He is my ex-boyfriend, we just broke up."

"Oh..." Zhou Bai responded, "Did he break up with you?"

"No!" Chu Mo raised her head abruptly and said angrily, "I broke up with him!"

Part4
"Chumo proposed to break up with you?" In the huge office, Yu Sheng, the vice president of Chumu Group (CM for short), leaned on the sofa, looked at the man behind the workbench in disbelief, and said, "The reason is that a woman took the initiative to pester you." I love you... so the reason you broke up is... are you too beautiful to be attractive? Xiao Nian Nian?"

Hearing the nasty words "Xiao Nian Nian", the man behind the workbench who was concentrating on the computer screen didn't even lift his eyelids.

Yu Sheng had already taken it for granted that he didn't get a response from his friend, he thought about it, and said: "But CM bought Starlight Media, and you don't want all the artists under it except Chu and Mo... Isn't this a bit too protective? "

At this moment, Mu Liunian raised his head and said flatly, "I'm just protecting my weaknesses, what's wrong?"

"……No."

"Go out if you have nothing to do, I'm very busy." Boss Mu has already started to chase people away.

"Okay, I know you are a busy person, and the president is not as busy as you. But don't forget to attend the acquisition meeting of Starlight on time tomorrow. You are the boss of CM, so it is unreasonable not to attend."

"Um……"

Another word "um", what a perfunctory one!
Yu Sheng touched his nose and went out in a dejected manner.

The whole office returned to calm again.

It was already 12 midnight at this time, and in the entire CM office building, only this floor was brightly lit.

After working for a while, Mu Liunian got up and walked to the glass cabinet, poured a glass of whiskey, and walked slowly to the French windows.

This office is located at the top of the CM building, looking down from the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can have a panoramic view of the bustling city under the night, and it has an aura of looking down on the world.

Mu Liunian turned the wine glass in his hand, took a sip of his thin lips, and looked out the window lightly with his dark eyes.

The TV screen on the wall behind him repeatedly played today's news report: Starlight Media Company was acquired by CM, the largest music media company in China this morning, and the internal meeting will be held at Starlight Media tomorrow. CM Young Mr. Dong Mu Liunian will attend the scene, as well as his musicians, the famous piano composer Ms. Silvian, the new generation of creative goddess Ms. Lu Youjing, etc... The most eye-catching thing is that Starlight Media is the only remaining artist after joining CM, Ms. Yang Chumo, a freshman young pianist, was appreciated by Mr. Mu for her talent, and was appointed by Mr. Mu to stay in CM...

Part5
After bidding farewell to Zhou Bai, Chumo lay on the bed as soon as she got home, not bothering to move, she was too tired, and with the effect of alcohol, she quickly fell asleep.

It was as if she had returned to the past in her dream. When she and Mu Liunian first met, he was five years old and she was still a baby.

From the beginning of her memory, she has followed his ass every day. Wherever he goes, there must be her figure following him.

The other children in the compound laughed at her as the dog's tail grass that Mu Liunian couldn't get rid of, but she was not afraid of laughing, and followed her cheekily.

Once, he asked her jokingly: "At the end of the month, there are so many children in the compound, why do you always run after me?"

She replied very seriously: "Because you are so good-looking and your academic performance is so good, if I don't chase you, what will you do if you are chased away by others?"

After a long time, she could still remember his dumbfounding expression at that time.

Facts have proved that her eyesight was excellent when she was a child.

As an adult, Mu Liunian became even more outstanding. He was handsome, intelligent, and excellent. In the business world, he strategized and won thousands of miles; It resounds at home and abroad.

This perfect man is the only one who can give her motivation in the years when she needs to struggle the most.It was he who taught her to be calm, calm, and far-reaching, to be a strong and outstanding person, and it was he who made her follow in his footsteps since she was a child, dreaming of becoming a pianist who stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

The love that I thought could come naturally was broken three months ago. Maybe life is always like this. When you think that happiness is coming, I will give you an accident.

That day, a woman named Lu Youjing suddenly ran out and said to her, "Yang Chumo, stop pestering Fleeting Years, because I will be his fiancee."

The next day, the media rushed to report, and all the headlines revolved around "The fiancée of Leonardo Mu, the most internationally influential young pianist in the world today, is actually Lu Youjing, the daughter of his mentor."

It was also from that day that Lu Youjing airborne CM and became the person with the most special treatment in CM. She became Mu Liunian's "fiancée", and Liu Nian didn't have any explanation for Lu Youjing's "special care". what?

When Chumo woke up, it was already eight o'clock in the morning. She was woken up by the phone. When she picked up the phone, the voice of her friend and manager Xia Tu came: "Chumo, why haven't you come to the company yet? Today's company Did you forget about an important meeting? You know the boss hates people who are late!"

Chu Mo jumped up from the bed in a jerk. Before leaving yesterday, Zhou Bai made a point of not being late for today's meeting. She almost forgot!
Part6
When I arrived at the company at the end of the month, it happened to be on the hour.

Xia Tu, who was standing at the door, saw her getting out of the car, and hurriedly dragged her to the conference hall, and said excitedly as he walked, "Do you know who I saw just now? It's definitely someone you didn't expect, Even I didn't expect to meet him here! When I say it, your stomach will fall out of surprise! Why do you think he came here suddenly? It's amazing! Do you want to know who he is ? Hey! Forget it, I still won't say who he is..."

So all the way to the conference room, I didn't know who the unexpected person was from Xia Tu at the beginning and the end...

Until the door of the meeting room was pushed open, the two sat down first.

After a while, there was a group of footsteps outside, and the door was pushed open again. When Chu Mo looked up, he saw him, the "unexpected" person in Xia Tu's mouth.

He was answering the phone, followed by two assistants, one of whom was handing him the document, he took it with one hand, a string of silver beads on his wrist looked familiar, he was wearing a formal suit, his steps were steady, his eyes were dark Indifferent, arrogant posture, the king's air is evident on the surface.

Xia Tu suddenly leaned into Chumo's ear and said, "Didn't you give him that Tiffany & Co. series bead bracelet? I didn't expect him to wear it all the time!"

Chu Mo did not say a word.

For Mu Liunian to appear here, her surprise replaced all words. She couldn't figure out why the young director of CM Group would appear in such a small and unremarkable company as Xingguang.

After Mu Liunian walked into the meeting room, the executives from Starlight Media behind him walked in one after another. After they sat down one by one, everyone directly got into the topic.

Anyone who knows Mu Liunian knows that he never likes to waste time on all kinds of boring greetings and etiquette. Whenever there is a meeting that he attends, he always talks when he is seated.

The meeting quickly got to the point, and everyone started discussing the development of Starlight Media after it was acquired by CM.

Mu Liunian, who didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, just sat there, as if he was listening, as if he had nothing to do with him.

However, Chu Mo, who was also silent, couldn't recover from the powerful surprise.

When was Starlight Media acquired by CM?Why doesn't she know anything about it?
The most important thing is that everyone knows that CM is such a big company that they don't like the small Starlight Media at all. Why did they suddenly want to acquire it?

At the end of the day, she couldn't figure it out, she just felt like she had fallen into a strange circle, especially when the high-level executives discussed that they would terminate all the signed artists of Starlight Media and keep her alone, she felt that being the biggest CM Boss Mu Liunian's decision to make such a decision was entirely aimed at her!

She couldn't help saying: "Why should they all be terminated?"

A senior executive of CM explained: "Because the musicians signed by Starlight Media before are all good and bad, CM doesn't need this group of people. Terminating the contract is the best way for each other."

She sneered: "Then why did you leave me alone?"

The senior was taken aback, and then said: "It just so happens that Ms. Yang is the only good among the good and the bad."

She was blocked at the beginning and the end and was completely speechless. This high-level person answered so smoothly, she obviously came prepared, and she even wondered if it was arranged by Mu Liunian in advance!
She glared angrily at the ultimate boss sitting at the front, he just sat there quietly, as if he was watching a boring farce.

Chu Mo's violent temper could not be hidden at all, she said to him with a straight face, "I never thought that the big boss of CM would be such an indifferent person, if you have money, if you want to buy the company, you can buy it, if you want to terminate the contract, you can terminate the contract." , but you know that those employees who were terminated by you will lose their jobs in a second, what should they do? If this is the case, then you also terminated my contract, and I will not do it anymore!"

Her voice was loud and full of anger. No one would have thought that a small contracted artist of Starlight Media would dare to confront the new boss with such an attitude. For a while, the conference room fell into a weird silence.

Seeing her baring her teeth and claws, Mu Liunian, who had been silently watching everything at the meeting like an audience, said lightly, "If I remember correctly, you signed a ten-year contract, right?" In the silence, his voice was calm And indifference, it seems that she is not angry at her bad attitude, "That is to say, you have signed a ten-year contract with CM. If CM does not terminate the contract, you have to do it if you don't want to."

One sentence will be speechless from the beginning to the end.

The speaker seemed to find the meeting boring, so he got up and left indifferently.

The meeting was not over, but no one dared to stop it.
