Chapter 24: Are you flirting with me?
The interlaced black and white keys gave birth to beautiful notes and moving melodies, just like the sun at 2:30 in the afternoon, lazy and leisurely, flowing slowly along its ancient and elegant arc.
The sound of the piano gradually became brighter, overflowing like a tide, filling every space in the whole world.
Fingers danced briskly on the keys, sliding from the bass to the treble, blooming into a rose-like beautiful scenery, and then gradually falling from the treble, like pearls scattered all over the ground; fine but shiny.
Wu Chen’s fingers kept stroking the keys.
His body swayed slightly with the rhythm, his eyes narrowed slightly, half open and half closed, as if the whole person was intoxicated by the moving melody he played.
Holding a glass of champagne in both hands, Li Ruobing walked silently to the piano. She leaned gently and put the champagne in her left hand on the top cover of the piano, within Wu Chen’s reach.
Gently sipping the champagne, Li Ruobing brushed her chin with the back of her hand and tilted her head to look at Wu Chen who was intoxicated by his performance.
The clear sound of the piano gurgled.
Li Ruobing looked at Wu Chen’s eyes, and there was a unique light. She had to admit that Wu Chen was beyond her expectations every time.
In her 27 years of life, she met many unique men, and Wu Chen was definitely the most unique among them!
Now, she didn’t dare to say that there was anything Wu Chen can’t do.
Although Wu Chen didn’t show too much, Wu Chen could do amazing things at the right time and on the right occasion.
In fact, the piano pieces that Wu Chen was playing were very famous! So famous that almost everyone knows it!
Because this classic piano piece had been used by major domestic TV stations as background music in various variety shows, news programs, and film and television programs.
Although not many people know the name of this piece, once they hear it, almost everyone will feel that it’s familiar!
There was a bad thing about being too familiar, and that was boredom. Even if it was your favorite song, if you set this song as the alarm clock or the ringtone of your mobile phone, you would get tired of it in less than a year and never listen to it again.
If you listen too much, you will get bored with it. It would feel tacky.
However, the appeal of the “pianist” playing the repertoire could not be replaced by a device!
Wu Chen was not a pianist, so he didn’t have such a title.
But Li Ruobing, who has also learned piano, could tell that Wu Chen’s piano level was very high, at least far higher than her own.
Li Ruobing, who was tilting her head, stroked her hair and hung a strand of hair behind her. When she tilted her head, her hair would hang down to cover her face, so she stroked it.
Wu Chen didn’t look at her.
His level of concentration when playing had reached the point where he could ignore everything around him. Even Li Ruobing, a beautiful woman who could reach 9 points of beauty under strict standards.
Li Ruobing took another sip of champagne, exhaled slowly, closed her eyes, and seemed to be listening attentively.
She hadn’t been so relaxed in a long time.
There was no intrigue in the business war!
There was no coercion and pressure from the family!
No work, no worries.
Only intoxicating music.
She didn’t know how long it has been.
The piano sound stopped abruptly.
Li Ruobing opened her eyes as if awakened from a dream, looked at Wu Chen and said, “You are really versatile. Richard Clayderman’s “Poems for Adeline” is pretty good, why don’t you play it?”
Wu Chen didn’t finish playing, and there should be a short section behind.
Clang, clang!
Wu Chen pressed the keys a few times in succession, and said, “This piano is a bit out of tune, you should be able to hear it.”
“Hmm…” Li Ruobing pondered for a while, to be honest, she didn’t hear any of the notes that were out of tune.
Wu Chen underestimated himself and overestimated Li Ruobing.
Li Ruobing learned piano and passed the grade test when she was a teenager, but she hadn’t played it for too many years, and Wu Chen… who knew how good his skills are! He didn’t know it himself, because there was no comparison!
Li Ruobing rarely felt this kind of embarrassment, and she didn’t care too much. She raised her hand to signal, “Your champagne.”
Wu Chen got up, picked up the champagne, and shook it lightly.
“Cheers?”
“Cheers.”
Ting!
The two touched their glasses and took a sip.
“Are you flirting with me?” Li Ruobing looked at Wu Chen again and asked, she had a smile on her face, but it was a half-smile.
Speaking directly and very outspoken!
“Why do you think so?” Wu Chen asked Li Ruobing with a smile.
“You are an information businessman, you said it yourself. I believe you, because you know too many things, and I also believe you know me, so… you chose the champagne I like. You know I have learned the piano, so you played the piano…”
“There may be some misunderstanding between us.” Wu Chen laughed, “Boss Li, please don’t be too narcissistic. We are in a cooperative relationship, aren’t we? You gave me twenty million, that’s why I came here today. I’ve always been serious about clients. If you think this is flirting, that’s on you.”
“So, you’re treating me as a client. You’re just making your customer comfortable?”
“Is there any problem? Would you put on a serious face with your business partners? You are happy, I am happy, everyone is happy. Then, I can have more money.”
“That’s right.” Li Ruobing seemed to really believe Wu Chen’s nonsense and nodded with a smile.
Boom!
Knocking.
It was the bodyguards who brought the clothes. Because there were blood stains on Wu Chen’s clothes when he was in the box, Li Ruobing ordered the bodyguards to buy them.
They bought two sets at a time, and it was estimated to cost hundreds of thousands.
The bodyguard came in with a suit in his left hand and right hand. Li Ruobing asked Wu Chen to choose, and Wu Chen chose a silver-gray one.
Wu Chen went into the bedroom to change clothes, and when he came out again, he saw that Li Ruotai had come over, it seemed that Shen Guangnian’s matter had been dealt with.
“It’s noon, let’s go eat first.” Li Ruobing greeted him and said while arranging Wu Chen’s clothes.
There was a restaurant in the Crown Entertainment Club, but the three of them didn’t plan to eat in the club, because there was nothing delicious there. No matter how exquisite the food in the club was, it couldn’t compare to a professional restaurant.
In the end, the three came to a western restaurant in Midtown.
Li Ruobing was a member and had a seat at any time.
The three of them ordered casually in the private room on the second floor and only started chatting while waiting for the meal.
“Brother-in-law, what do you think… How should I deal with Shen Guangnian?” Li Ruotai asked softly, this “brother-in-law” was now easy to say for him.
Before Wu Chen told him not to touch Shen Guangnian, he said not to make a move in the clubhouse, so Li Ruotai let him go, but he knew that this matter must not end like this.
Shen Guangnian was not touched because it was really troublesome to do something about him in the clubhouse.
It’s not Wu Chen’s trouble, but Li Ruotai’s.
He’s in enough trouble now, so he needed restraint.
“He has lost so much money, and the business operation has gone wrong.” Wu Chen arranged the tableware, arranged them, and said without raising his head.
Is Shen Guangnian innocent?
In fact, he is not innocent at all, because he was related to the Wei family. The number three member of the Wei family was once Shen Guangnian’s father-in-law.
The Li family and the Wei family were immortal, so… Since Wu Chen chose Li Ruobing as his first contact, he must be towards the Li family.
“I understand.” Li Ruotai nodded.
No need to ask for too much detail, he had too many ways to deal with a “little character” like Shen Guangnian, but he didn’t know which one was the most suitable. In this important period, he was also afraid that he would screw up.
“Brother-in-law, about closing the store…” Li Ruotai asked again.
“If you’re willing, set fire to the Crown Clubhouse…” Wu Chen raised his head and said.
Li Ruotai was shocked, and so was Li Ruobing. Both siblings looked at Wu Chen.
Burn?
The decoration of the Crown Clubhouse alone cost 500 million yuan. Burn?
“Just burn a little bit, it’s better to be on the news, so that you can suspend business for rectification and redecorate reasonably, and no one will doubt you…” Wu Chen said.
Afterwards, Wu Chen told Li Ruotai how to do it. It was mainly a matter of timing: when to steal evidence, when to kill Xie Hu, and when to burn the clubhouse. The sequence must never be wrong!
“I’m going to the bathroom.” After Wu Chen finished speaking, he glanced at his watch, got up, and said.
“Can you find it? How about I…” Li Ruobing asked with concern.
“It’s okay, I know where it is.” Wu Chen pressed Li Ruobing’s shoulder.
Just after Wu Chen left the private room.
Li Ruotai turned his head and looked at the closed door. Hearing the sound of footsteps outside fading away, he was sure that Wu Chen had really gone to the bathroom. He turned around abruptly, and said in a low voice to Li Ruobing, “Sister! Who is this guy? Where did you find him?”
“What?”
Although he called him brother-in-law, Li Ruotai still had great doubts about Wu Chen.
