146 Broken strings
When the applause was a little weaker, Xia Yan on the stage continued: "Of course, the happiest thing this year is that in addition to joining the Ousu family, we also chose the first spokesperson of Ousu Greater China. Making this choice is of epoch-making significance for Ou Su. Today, I am also very happy to invite our spokesperson, Miss Ye Lingxi, to the scene and ask her to come to the stage to say a few words for us. ”
I have to admit that when he was on stage, Xia Yan still had a bit of the temperament of a young talent.
Hearing Xia Yan invite him to the stage, the people next to him couldn't help but applaud.
After smiling and greeting everyone, Ye Lingxi lifted his skirt and slowly walked to the stage.
Standing in the center of the stage, Ye Lingxi adjusted the microphone, smiled at the people in the audience and said, "Good evening, everyone, I am very happy to stand here tonight as the first spokesperson of Ousu in Greater China." I never imagined that one day I would have the privilege of joining the Ousu family. I am very grateful to Mr. Xia for giving me this opportunity to show the beauty of Ousu as the spokesperson of Ousu. In the future, I will work harder to let more people know and appreciate the true charm of Ousu. Thank you!"
After giving his speech, Ye Lingxi retreated to the back of the stage and stood with Xia Yan.
While the host was talking on stage, Xia Yan couldn't help but lean into Ye Lingxi's ear and whispered: "Why do I think that when you call me Mr. Xia, your voice is very good, call a few more to listen." ”
"You looked like a dog just now, if you can keep pretending like this, I will keep calling you Mr. Xia. Ye Lingxi stood on the stage with a smile on his face, but he couldn't help but complain about Xia Yandao.
"Come on, forget it, it's not easy to be a successful person!" Xia Yan sighed.
After the host finished speaking, it was the performance session, first a few cheering programs, followed by Ye Lingxi's performance.
At the beginning of the performance, Xia Yan and Ye Lingxi stepped off the stage.
Ye Lingxi was just about to go to the back to prepare for his performance, when he saw Zhao Simin with a anxious face, and hurriedly walked towards Xia Yan and reported: "Oh no, Mr. Xia, when the pipa that Miss Ye wants to perform is placed in the backstage, I don't know who cut the strings." ”
"What are you talking about?, how could the strings of the pipa break?" Hearing Zhao Simin's words, Xia Yan's face couldn't help but look difficult.
"It's not clear who broke it, but I put it in the background before, and when I just went to get it, I found that the string was broken. Zhao Simin shook his head and said.
"You take me to see first, what's going on?" I don't know what the situation of the pipa is, Ye Lingxi has no choice but to go and see if there is a chance to remedy it at this time.
Hearing that Ye Lingxi wanted to go and see, Zhao Simin nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, Miss Ye, please come with me." So the three of them walked backstage together.
After arriving backstage, Ye Lingxi saw at a glance that the pipa on the table had been neatly cut from it with a sharp weapon.
It seems that someone didn't want her to perform smoothly, so she broke the strings, and she didn't even have a chance to make amends.
Seeing that the time before he came to power is getting shorter and shorter, it is impossible to find a pipa now.
"Lingxi, why don't you change the program? "Now that the pipa is broken, there is no way to perform, Xia Yan couldn't help but suggest.
In fact, Ye Lingxi doesn't have to perform the pipa, after all, her pipa has only learned a little bit of skin, and what she can play skillfully is just a tune.
Originally, she wanted to perform something different from before, who would have thought that someone would want to hinder her even this little thing.
There are many people who are popular, and Ye Lingxi has deeply realized this during this time.
Anyway, this performance was also improvised in the morning, and if you change one, you will change it, so Ye Lingxi thought for a while and said: "Then change it, there is no need to play the pipa, it's a pity that my clothes today are specially chosen to match this performance." ”
"It's okay, it's good to be beautiful, everyone likes you to perform. Seeing Ye Lingxi's look of pity, Xia Yan couldn't help but tease.
"Just you can talk!" Ye Lingxi was amused and couldn't help but laugh.
Since he decided to change the show, Xia Yan asked Ye Lingxi what song he wanted to sing, and then told Zhao Simin to find someone to prepare.
Soon Zhao Simin made arrangements and asked people to take Ye Lingxi to the front to prepare for the stage.
After Ye Lingxi left, Xia Yan said to Zhao Simin: "You go and adjust the monitoring in the background, I want to see who dares to make small moves at Ou Su's drinking party so blatantly." ”
"Okay, Director. Zhao Simin understood that Xia Yan wanted to find out who broke the strings of the pipa, and after hearing Xia Yan's order, he rushed towards the monitoring room.
Because it was an annual meeting, Ye Lingxi chose a cheerful song to sing it.
She originally sang well, and with a beautiful face, she naturally won full applause, but she lacked a little novelty.
After thanking him after the performance, Ye Lingxi got off the stage, and Bai Wanqing, who was standing in the audience, couldn't help clapping her hands and said: "Lingxi, the song you sing is really good, if you are not an actor, it is not bad to be a singer." ”
"Just fool the layman, it's just like that when the connoisseur hears it, that's it, Sister Wanqing, don't praise me. Hearing Bai Wanqing praise herself like this, Ye Lingxi was a little embarrassed.
"Although I can't sing, I can still hear whether the singing is good or not, even if you are a professional musician, you should give a high evaluation of your singing. But I heard that you were going to perform in other shows, why did you choose to sing in the end?" Bai Wanqing said curiously.
At the mention of this, Ye Lingxi smiled helplessly, sighed and said: "Originally, I wanted to perform playing the pipa, but someone broke my pipa strings, and I couldn't find a new pipa for a while, so I had to temporarily change this show." Fortunately, I have cooperated with Chu Ning a lot, and I can still sing on the stage, otherwise I would have made a fool of myself today. ”
"You mean, someone deliberately broke your pipa strings?" Bai Wanqing said in surprise.
"It should be, otherwise it wouldn't have broken so neatly. Ye Lingxi said with emotion.
After debuting for so many years, Bai Wanqing has long been accustomed to this kind of struggle tricks in the circle.
guessed that someone deliberately wanted to make Ye Lingxi embarrassed, Bai Wanqing comforted Ye Lingxi and said: "This circle is like this, one in front of you and one behind the other, because of jealousy, many people will play tricks behind your back and make some small moves." In fact, there is no need for everyone to do this, as long as you want to be a good actor and hone your acting skills, the audience will naturally find your strength. ”
It's rare that Bai Wanqing can still maintain such a simple heart after so many years.
Ye Lingxi said enviously: "Sister Wanqing, if only everyone thought like you." ”
"I just sighed that I don't have the power to change this situation. Bai Wanqing smiled helplessly.
"It's good to have this kind of heart, although there is no way to change others, at least keep yourself from being assimilated. Ye Lingxi felt that Bai Wanqing was already very remarkable.
"That's right. Bai Wanqing pursed her lips and smiled, raised her glass and touched the champagne in Ye Lingxi's hand, and both of them raised their heads and took a sip of wine.
In the second half of the reception, Xia Yan took Ye Lingxi to meet several senior executives of Ousu, as well as some well-known people.
After the second half of the reception, Ye Lingxi was bored.
After Zhao Simin finished checking the surveillance, he walked over and quietly replied to Xia Yan about the situation.
Xia Yan listened to Zhao Simin's words, and said to everyone: "I'm sorry everyone, if I still have something to do with Lingxi, I'll miss it first." Then he took Ye Lingxi and walked towards the other end.
"What's wrong?" didn't understand where Xia Yan was going to take him, Ye Lingxi asked suspiciously.
"Just now I asked Simin to check the backstage surveillance, and she said that the person who cut the strings of the pipa was found in the surveillance, let's go over and take a look. Xia Yan explained to Ye Lingxi.
Hearing that the person who broke the pipa had been discovered, Ye Lingxi also wanted to see who was going to have trouble with him?
walked to the monitoring room, Zhao Simin asked the staff inside to call up the video content of tonight's backstage and play it again for Ye Lingxi and Xia Yan.
Sure enough, five minutes before the start of tonight's performance, a person dressed in a hotel waiter's costume walked backstage and took scissors to cut Ye Lingxi's pipa strings with a single stroke. After cutting the strings, the man quietly left the backstage with the scissors.
The person's face was clearly photographed, Xia Yan pointed to the person in the video, and asked the person in charge of the hotel, "Do you know this person?
The person in charge of the hotel took a closer look before confirming: "It is indeed a service staff of our hotel, and it is also in the list of service personnel for today's reception." ”
"Then you call this person to me, I want to ask him personally, why did he do this?" Xia Yan asked the hotel service staff to tell me that this person was called over, so as to figure out what was going on.
The man who cut the strings of the pipa in the video is just an ordinary hotel employee, if he wasn't instructed by someone, he wouldn't have known that Ye Lingxi was going to perform the pipa in the background.
Obviously, this person was only bought by someone, so he would guard and steal himself, so he directly found Ye Lingxi's pipa and cut the strings.
After receiving Xia Yan's instructions, the person in charge of the hotel did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly found someone to find this employee.
This person also seemed to know what he was looking for, and when he walked into the monitoring room, this person subconsciously swallowed his saliva, his eyes were a little evasive, and he didn't dare to look at Xia Yan and Ye Lingxi.
"Do you know what I came to you for?" The evidence was conclusive, Xia Yan did not beat around the bush, and said directly.
"I ...... I...... I don't know ......" seemed to dare not admit what he had done, and the man denied it in a slur manner.
