Chapter 63: Mean Boy
After Chen Chufan was completely cleaned up, half an hour had passed. Changing into a brand new work clothes and matching the leather shoes that Liu Yuanyuan had just bought, Chen Chufan's whole spirit was different, and in the eyes of Aunt Luo and Liu Yuanyuan, it was completely like a different person.
Fitted white shirt and black trousers. Chen Chufan's slender and tall figure was revealed, which should have been considered delicate facial features, and with this slender and tall figure, it made Chen Chufan a little more domineering, and with the boy's confident expression, it looked a little grandiose.
"The young man is very handsome when he dresses up, why do you wear those tattered clothes and make yourself so decadent!" Aunt Luo from the logistics department muttered again, which sounded like a compliment, but it made Chen Chufan feel very weird.
He really wanted to discuss with Aunt Luo how the students should dress up. However, it is obvious that Liu Yuanyuan, the manager of the personnel department, will not give him a chance to play.
"Okay, Chen Chufan. It's not early, it's already half past three. You'll be in place at five o'clock. I'll take you to say hello to your colleagues. Carry your clothes and your lounge has a dedicated changing room! Liu Yuanyuan looked Chen Chufan up and down, nodded silently, and urged.
After leaving the logistics department, Chen Chufan, who was dressed in new clothes, followed Liu Yuanyuan and began to shuttle in the clubhouse again. Fortunately, Chen Chufan had already changed his clothes, at least no one threw a surprised look at him anymore, and even if there was, it was just a fleeting glance.
It was only at this time that Chen Chufan didn't know how big the Clear Water Bay Club was, and in short, he shuttled in the clubhouse for nearly 10 minutes and walked through three outdoor corridors before arriving at Area C where he worked. If it weren't for the fact that Chen Chufan's memory suddenly became like a demon now, Chen Chufan even suspected that he could directly get lost in the building complex in the clubhouse.
Finally, Liu Yuanyuan took Chen Chufan through three buildings, entered a relatively quiet building, and then stopped in front of a door where the band practice room was hung.
"This is it, let's go say hello to your colleagues!" Liu Yuanyuan turned around and said something to Chen Chufan, who was standing behind him, and knocked on the closed door. The music stopped abruptly, and a moment later an answer was heard.
"Who?" A lazy male voice in the room asked.
"Me! Open the door! Liu Yuanyuan replied angrily.
"Sister Liu, wait, come right away!" It's still the same lazy male voice, but this time there are some miscellaneous voices coming out. It's like someone knocked over something.
A young man with very long hair opened the door and saw Liu Yuanyuan say hello: "Sister Liu, why did you come to our place today?" Then his eyes looked at Chen Chufan's body. Who is this? ”
"Okay, Xiaoliu get out of the way, I'll introduce you to him!" Liu Yuanyuan pushed away and stopped at the door, and the long-haired young man she called Xiaoliu led Chen Chufan into the band practice room.
The whole band practice room is quite spacious, 50 or 60 square meters, and in the middle of the band practice room is a platform, and there is a practice piano in the middle. The five young people were fiddling with their instruments by the piano on the stage, while the little six who had just opened the door followed behind the two.
Liu Yuanyuan stood in the middle of the room and stopped, clapped her hands, and shifted everyone's attention to herself. Then he pulled Chen Chufan down and introduced: "This is Chen Chufan, a newly hired pianist in the club, part-time, mainly responsible for the piano solo in Area C on weekends. Of course, if someone orders a song or has a performing arts event, you have to cooperate together. Do you understand? ”
No one applauded and welcomed, and no one took Liu Yuanyuan's words. The practice room was cold. It seems that the band does not welcome Chen Chufan's joining. But Chen Chufan didn't feel embarrassed, anyway, now that Liu Yuanyuan is still here, it seems that he doesn't need to say anything?
"What's wrong with you? Not welcome? Sure enough, seeing that no one paid attention to her words, Liu Yuanyuan's face became a little unsightly, and she continued to speak.
At this time, a young man who had been playing the guitar on the stage with his head down raised his head. A very handsome young man, with big eyes, a nose and thin lips, an angular face, and long black and bright hair, he basically has the potential to be an idol star, if he can laugh with a sunny spot instead of that lazy expression.
"Sister Liu, didn't you say last time that the pianist in Area C was topped by Xiaoliu? Why did you change your mind again so quickly? Xiaoliu hasn't touched the keyboard for more than a year, and he's been practicing the piano hard, and you all see it. What does it mean to have a pianist now? This lazy voice made Chen Chufan immediately hear that it was the person who answered when Liu Yuanyuan knocked on the door just now.
"Huo Yuxing, didn't you hear about it just now? This is part-time for Mr. Chen Chufan. Only play the three days from Friday to Sunday, and the rest of the time is still played by the little six! Liu Yuanyuan explained.
"Sister Liu, we are all old men, it's okay for you to fool newcomers, just fool us. Playing music in the clubhouse, the time period for raising his face is only these three days, and he has taken up all the golden time, how can we mix with Xiaoliu? Why don't you just stop playing the piano? Playing keyboard on the back? What you're going to do is a bit out of the ordinary, isn't it? Huo Yuxing still said in that half-dead tone.
"Hey, Huo Yuxing, have you grown up? Feelings, you have a big opinion on arranging a part-time pianist for the club? Do you have to let him go to the clubhouse, and you're ready to take the burden? I can tell you, Huo Yuxing, it was General Manager Liu's decision to recruit Mr. Chen Chufan to come to Area C, if you have any opinions, you can go to General Manager Liu to say! Liu Yuanyuan also seemed to be on fire, and said-for-tat.
"Oh? Or is it recommended by General Manager Liu? I don't dare to break the contract, but what's this kid's name? Chen Chufan, right? Does he have the ability to perform in the lower C area? I'm skeptical. Can he do it? Don't go through some backdoor relationship to mix up and eat! If something goes wrong with this kid in an important performance one day, he won't ask us to give him a round, right? You see that his hair has not grown, can he rely on it? Hey bro, are you an adult? Obviously, Huo Yuxing seemed unwilling to have a head-on conflict with Liu Yuanyuan, so he began to target Chen Chufan, who had been standing beside Liu Yuanyuan without saying a word, especially the last sentence, shouted directly at Chen Chufan, disdain is better than words.
Huo Yuxing's words made Chen Chufan very tired. He really didn't expect that he just wanted to mix up some money and improve his life, and he would encounter this kind of drama. If this kind of thing was put in the past, Chen Chufan might have endured it, anyway, there was a Liu Yuanyuan by his side, and there was an Aunt Liu behind him, so he was not afraid of what those guys could really do. I really can't do it, so I just pat my ass and leave. If you can't provoke it, you can always afford to hide. But after experiencing the failure of his first love and the conflict with Zhang Peng, Chen Chufan's personality has changed too much, at least he feels that people can't be too kind, otherwise they will be bullied. In many cases, your forbearance will only be exchanged for contempt and increased bullying from others.
Especially the gradual changes that have occurred in Chen Chufan's body in the recent period have made Chen Chufan's perspective on things change a lot. Chen Chufan has been very aware and accepted the fact that he is no longer an ordinary person. So his perspective on the problem began to become detached, although some ideas are still a little immature, but they are indeed changing little by little. For example, it was impossible for him to dare to think of writing his own songs after learning music theory for more than a month. But now he not only dared to think, but also began to try seriously, and this is the change.
Many things, in the eyes of Chen Chufan now, will not be too serious, just like a game, this is detachment. Just like Huo Yuxing's verbal humiliation of Chen Chufan just now, it didn't make Chen Chufan feel angry, but more just tired and depressed. It's like a sane adult who doesn't want to be honest with a baby waiting to be fed.
Not being angry does not mean that Chen Chufan is willing to endure Huo Yuxing's provocation. Because this also involves Aunt Liu, who is optimistic about him, and also involves his shriveled purse, not to mention the brand-new leather shoes on his feet, which Liu Yuanyuan next to him just bought. What if you just turn around and leave? Whose shoes should be paid? What's more, this is not a school he is familiar with, just a place where he works, he doesn't know anyone here, even if he is indulgent, he is not afraid of getting into trouble because of being in the limelight.
So Chen Chufan spoke to Liu Yuanyuan first, his face was not ashamed or annoyed, his tone was not angry, but the content was strong enough: "This Huo brother, first of all, it has nothing to do with whether I am a minor and whether I play the piano well or not. In addition, what I want to correct you is that I don't know how to calculate the length of the hair. But I'm sure my hair is bigger than yours. The last thing I want to say is, if there is really an important performance, I hope you can be reliable, don't make any mistakes, let me wipe your butt, you know that wiping someone's butt will really make me very irritable! ”
If you are arrogant, let the practice room be cold again. Liu Yuanyuan turned her head and glanced at Chen Chufan in some surprise, she really didn't expect this seemingly harmless man to respond so fiercely in the face of provocation.
After a long time, Xiao Liu's angry voice came from behind Chen Chufan: "What are you talking about!" Arrogant in front of Brother Huo, how old are you! ”
"Didn't you hear what I said? Or do you have ears for panting? You can't hear it so closely, and dare you say that you are a piano player? Do I don't need to do piano listening practice to practice the piano? Chen Chufan continued to provoke the nerves of everyone present with sharp words.
In the practice room, the young people who were sitting quietly on the stage and playing with their instruments all put down the instruments in their hands, and some people even stood up and looked at Chen Chufan with an unkind face.
"What? Want to fight? Over here? Chen Chufan looked at the movements of several people and said provocatively: "I thought this was the band practice room!" I thought this was a place where music could talk! Or am I in the wrong place, this is actually a fight training room? Can you play Fist? But it's good to play with fists, I haven't been active for a long time, just move my muscles and bones, go up together, or come one by one? ”
With a sarcastic tone and an under-beaten expression, Chen Chufan continued to stimulate everyone in the field. It's not that Chen Chufan has become mean. It's that he feels that he has lost too much time because of the band's rejection, and today is his first official day at work, so he doesn't want to disturb his debut for any reason. So I decided to cut through the mess quickly! Fix this as soon as possible.
