"In the face of this special enough situation, any rule that has been set before can be artificially broken, even if the rule has been established by oneself and has been persistently implemented for a long time, or even benefited from this rule."

"That's right, this lead singer position is different from the usual lead singer position because it brings more popularity and importance to fans than usual. This is enough to make the members of the group who hold this position shine on the stage and broadcast their reputation. It is understood, recognized, supported and loved by more people. ”

Therefore, the different interests involved also lead to a greater degree of overflow of desires in people's hearts than usual. In the end, the worst outcome that no one wants to see comes out, and that is the overt opposition of the members of the group. Anyone understands that whoever is in order according to the rules is whom, and no one will be unconvinced. However, anyone also understands that if you don't fight for this opportunity, your position in the group in the future will definitely be gradually gotten rid of by the members who got the lead singer opportunity this time, and then gradually cruelly far surpass yourself. Therefore, in addition to the members of the captain, the balance of interests and reason in the group was disturbed by their own demons, and finally they started to break the rules and fight against the captain who should have gotten this opportunity, even if she has been supporting her...... Good partner, good teammate ......"

Lin Xinlu knew the cruelty in it, and said with mixed feelings in her heart, she obviously didn't want to see that in the case of unprecedented external pressure, internal members still fought for their own interests.

But she is not in this position, and she can't understand the almost crazy enterprising and hard-working heart in everyone's hearts in this combination.

"If you give people a 50 percent profit, he's going to take a risk; If he gives people 100% profits, he dares to trample on all the laws of the world; If he is given a profit of three hundred percent, he dares to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged. The truth contained in this sentence seems to be very applicable at any time," Wei Yibai couldn't help but think that this matter was too cruel and true, "Both the authorities and bystanders are clear about the matter, but what is terrible is the mask that the authorities are wearing to pretend to be confused, and they are knowingly committing violations." It's as if reason takes the initiative to put on the cloak of ignorance to hide its own heart that has become distorted by desire. A sober person pretending to be confused is the most frightening thing. ”

Wu Jiechun heard Wei Yibai's profound words on the side, and couldn't help but bow his head in shame.

After Cheng Qing saw Wu Jiechun's reaction, she asked with some confusion: "Does this mean...... Isn't Wu Jiechun the captain of the group? ”

Wu Jiechun shook his head and replied, "No." ”

"That's right, Jiechun is not the same as you guessed now, she is not in the position of captain. And that says a ...... She can also be regarded as one of the members of the group who broke the balance of interests and reason in this incident. Lin Xinlu explained.

"And yesterday when all the members of the group were arguing with each other, trying to take the lead singer's position. The captain didn't say a word at this time, and left the discussion site of the group at that time. ”

Wu Jiechun was present at the time and witnessed the departure of the team leader. And now that Lin Xinlu has retold this fact, her face is still a lot darker.

Soon after the captain left, the remaining four people who were arguing also regained their senses and composure. Because if even the captain is not in the performance team, then it means that the leader of the entire group is missing, just like a group of dragons without a leader, and the whole group can no longer be called 'Jinxi'. So at that time, everyone immediately turned their goal to finding the captain first. ”

"However, no matter who calls the captain, the captain's phone reply is only a tone to turn off." Lin Xinlu felt a headache about this.

"Does this mean that the captain, who is the core character of the group, has temporarily lost contact with you at this critical juncture of his debut?" Cheng Qing asked.

"According to the current situation, it should be," Lin Xinlu admitted, "I also hope that this is just a small gamble on the part of the captain." It's normal to want to not see each other for a short time after being emotional, and to calm down alone. But judging from the fact that she could not be reached from yesterday to this morning, she didn't just want to calm down for a while...... It may be that there will be no contact with the people in the group for a long time. Fortunately, Jiechun foresaw what their argument yesterday might cause, and used the recording function of her mobile phone to record all the arguments of yesterday. ”

"This also gave me a more detailed understanding of yesterday's situation, and some of the members' words were really extremely radical, I think these words should have deeply hurt the captain yesterday, and it is indeed not a day or two to heal the scars in my heart," Lin Xinlu said very distressed by the captain of the group at this time, "So we are now helping the Jinxi group reunite so that they can welcome the most important debut first performance with a full attitude." And the first step now is to find the core member of the Jinxi group, the captain, who has closed the contact with us. Next, he was able to solemnly apologize to her face and untie the knot in her heart. This is what I want to ask Cheng Qing. ”

Lin Xinlu asked Cheng Qingdao in a serious tone.

"This ...... Even if you tell me that, I would love to help you, but if I really can't even grasp the slightest bit of information about her whereabouts, in this huge eastern metropolis...... No, it may not be limited to the East City at all, but also outside the city...... Cheng Qing was obviously a little embarrassed by Lin Xinlu's extremely difficult request.

"Don't worry, there was good news last night, that is, one of the members of the group who has the best relationship with the captain recalled some of her previous conversations with the captain," Lin Xinlu waved her hand to signal Cheng Qing not to be so flustered, "It's that the captain once talked to her, and after the first performance after the official debut, the captain plans to leave the group temporarily during the summer vacation and return to his hometown in the countryside to help grandma." Because the captain's grandmother opened a small-scale hotel in the countryside, and the place where her hometown is located is a famous summer tourist resort that is some distance away from Dongdu, the hot spring capital - Yunze Town. As a result, there are many more tourists visiting the hot springs in the summer than usual, and there are even more tourists staying in the local area, so many hotels can't arrange them, so they are very busy. The same is true of the captain's grandmother's hotel, so she has the idea of going back to her hometown to help. ”

"It's just that as it stands, this plan may have been implemented in advance by the captain himself. Yesterday the member went to the captain's house and asked the captain's parents about her itinerary," Lin Xinlu said, "and the results are not very detailed, but they are enough to let people know her whereabouts." The captain's parents said that she had just returned home yesterday afternoon with the bags she had been packing, and that she had just said goodbye to them and left the house immediately. ”

Combined with what the member said above, the following situation can basically be concluded. The captain had already taken the train from last night to Yunze Town, which was still some distance away from the Eastern Capital, with the luggage he had prepared to help him back to his hometown not long ago, and took the train last night to Yunze Town, which is still some distance away from the Eastern Capital," Lin Xinlu gave this conclusion, "Regarding the train from the Eastern Capital to Yunze Town yesterday, I have also inquired today. This computer screenshot on the screen is the details of all the train schedules from Dongdu to Yunze yesterday. ”

Everyone looked up at the projection screen and found that the train schedule showed that there were not many trains from Dongdu to Yunze, only three times a day. The departure times from the starting station of Dongdu are 8 a.m., 1 p.m., and 7 p.m. respectively. If the captain had left the discussion site around yesterday afternoon and had gone home to get his luggage, he would have been able to keep his eyes on the 7 p.m. shift that coincided with her itinerary.

In other words, the conclusion given by Lin Xinlu can be completely justified from any aspect of reality. Yunze, a famous tourist attraction, is now the most likely place for the captain to be in his current position.

"Does that mean that I just have to go to her alone...... I feel that with my strength alone, even if I have the details and address of this captain, even if I really take the train to Yunze and finally find her, she will not directly return to the Eastern Capital with me, a stranger I have never met......" Cheng Qing continued to point out some problems.

"I've thought about that. However, this time, because Jiechun has to make some preparations for the upcoming performance of the Jinxi group, such as rehearsals for the members, plans to choose to sing songs, etc., she can't go to Yunze this time. Therefore, I have met this captain once or twice because of the relationship with Jiechun, and I am quite familiar, and I will accompany you to Yunze this time. As for the train ticket, you don't have to worry, I will book it for you. ”

"What...... Just me and ...... Are you? Cheng Qing looked at Lin Xinlu, but just happened to meet her staring straight at her target, and couldn't help but be a little flustered, expressing a hint of shirk and rejection.

"Alas, I knew that Cheng Qing was worried. Don't worry, Miss Wei Yibai next to you, and your lovely sister Xiaoxi can come together this time. There is no need to go to Yunze this time just to do the task, Yunze is a famous tourist resort, and the hot springs there are first-class and comfortable in the evaluation of tourists who have experienced it. Just like going there to relax with her family, Miss Wei Yibai can learn more about more scenery in addition to Dongdu. ”

"That'...... Well, what about your opinion? The worry in Cheng Qing's heart about not taking care of herself at home was swept away by Lin Xinlu's words. But he still has to see Wei Yibai's opinion on whether to go to Yunze.

"I don't have to do anything, I am naturally very happy to be able to go to famous tourist places in my country. And this time there is also a task to help others, so I am happy about it. What's more, the people I helped were about to become my classmates soon, Miss Lin Xinlu and Miss Wu Jiechun. Wei Yibai also agreed.

"In that case, it was happily decided. Then the departure time is agreed on tomorrow, is that okay? I want to help Jiechun solve this important and urgent problem quickly. Lin Xinlu gave a time and said tentatively.

"Probably not tomorrow because my mother has already booked a ticket for us to go to Shangjing Tower. Do you think it's okay to set the departure time for the day after tomorrow? Cheng Qing asked, "By the way, are you going to come to Shangjing Tower tomorrow to visit with us?" ”

"Of course the day after tomorrow is possible, the earlier the departure time is naturally the better, in order to let everyone have enough energy to devote themselves to the trip specially organized in order to go to Yunze to find the captain of the Jinxi combination, then set the meeting time at one hour before the departure of the train at noon, that is, twelve o'clock, is it okay? Let's meet at this café in the shopping mall first, and then go to the train station in Dongdu together. ”

"Yes, that's fine. We will definitely do our best to help you find this captain of the Jinxi Band when we arrive in Yunze. Cheng Qing said after seeing that everything had been arranged.

"By the way, the last point is that in order not to delay your return home, I will not give you the details of the captain for the time being. Because there is still a little distance between the eastern capital and Yunze, after we get on the train together the day after tomorrow, there will be a long free time on the way, and in such a period of time, I will tell you about it. Lin Xinlu said.

"Then now that the matter has been introduced, Wei Yibai and I will go home first. We were temporarily called by you on the way home after breakfast," Cheng Qing stood up, and then thanked him, "It's almost noon now, so I won't stop any longer, thank you for your hospitality, but this dress is ......"

Cheng Qing actually didn't care about her own clothes, but the dress of a maid waiter that Wei Yibai was wearing at this time. If you walk directly on the street in your clothes, it is inevitable that some passers-by will project strange eyes.

"It doesn't matter if the clothes matter, just bring them over the day after tomorrow, anyway, Uncle Yan has no shortage of work uniforms here, and there will be no limited-time activities in the maid café in the near future......" Lin Xinlu waved her hand to indicate that it didn't matter, but seeing that Cheng Qing was looking at Wei Yibai's clothes at this time, she also understood that what Cheng Qing cared about at this time was not the issue of borrowing and returning clothes. It's just that she doesn't have an extra set of clothes in her hand to support Wei Yibai now.

"By the way, Lin Xinlu, Uncle Yan is in the clothes storage location of the café, since there are no clothes for waitresses, is there a coat similar to the one worn by male waiters in autumn, it is similar to the one I took out in the rain last time." After thinking about it for a while, Cheng Qing came up with an idea.

"Could it be...... Oh, I understand, he has the waiter's clothes in Uncle Yan's clothing warehouse all year round, you can just go to him directly," Lin Xinlu said, "In addition, you don't have to worry about going home, I have already talked to the driver master of our group on the phone, and he should be almost at the shopping center now." When you take your clothes and go outside, you should be just around the same time as the master's arrival. ”

"Okay, thank you, by the way, let's help sort out the equipment together. Because Uncle Yan kindly lent out these equipment, the overall efficiency has improved a lot. Cheng Qing thanked.

"No, no, we appreciate your kindness. However, it is better to leave it to Uncle Yan to sort it out by himself. Because his equipment has a certain storage location, if we mess up the location of the equipment after sorting it out, then it will be difficult for Uncle Yan to find the items conveniently again next time. You better go to Uncle Yan and get a coat, so you don't have to worry about anything else. ”

"Well, thank you, goodbye." After Cheng Qing and Wei Yibai thanked each other, they left the conference room together.

"I probably understand why you trust him......" Wu Jiechun looked at Cheng Qing's departing back, and his enthusiastic performance just now, and couldn't help but show a thoughtful look.

"Yes, the subtleties are the only way to experience the true quality of a person. Just like tea, you need to discover it slowly in your life, and experience it carefully, and finally be able to taste a richer tea fragrance. ”

Lin Xinlu, like Wu Jiechun, watched the two leave the conference room. At this time, her eyes were full of confidence and pride, as if to tell people that there would be absolutely no deviation in her eyes when looking at people.

Outside the meeting room.

Wei Yibai was walking quickly out of the interior space of the café with Cheng Qing, she was puzzled by what Cheng Qing had just said, so she asked, "That, Cheng Qingjun, what's the matter with you." I don't think your clothes are damaged, and it's summer, so why do you want an autumn jacket......"

A "click" sounded, and before Wei Yibai's words fell, Cheng Qing took the lead in opening the door of this independent space to the café when he walked in front.

"Eh, is this a new event held by the café......" "No, there will be such a costume, I didn't receive any notice before I came to the store......" "Hahahaha, it must be a surprise specially prepared by the store for us old customers, if I reveal it to you in advance, then what is the meaning of the word 'surprise'......"

After the two walked out together, the first thing they greeted was the strange eyes and chattering voices of the customers who were currently sitting in the café.

"Ah...... This...... No, no, you misunderstood......" Wei Yibai hurriedly waved his hand to explain after hearing these people's discussions.

"Huh...... Isn't it the costume of the event? "Then how can you dress up like this......" "Ah, what a disappointment, why do you wear a costume like this......"

Wei Yibai suddenly had a feeling of being speechless at this moment, and she didn't know how to refute these words that had nothing to do with the masses. Do you want her to start the whole thing with buying breakfast this morning? This is obviously unrealistic, after all, these people are just here to watch the excitement and talk wantonly, how can they care about why you are wearing such clothes.

"Eh, you're Miss's classmate, and you've finally found it. Miss specially called me just now and told me to prepare an autumn waiter's jacket and coat for you immediately," Uncle Yan immediately walked over quickly after seeing Cheng Qing and said, "Here, this is considered to be the completion of Miss's orders, you take it first." It's noon, and the café is busy with business, so I may not be able to entertain you two well for the time being, and I will definitely compensate you two next time I come to the store. Oh yes, this is my business card, contact me if you want to come to the café in the future, I will help you book the best spot in the café first, and I will also help you provide what equipment you need. ”

After Uncle Yan finished speaking, he handed a waiter's jacket in his hand to Cheng Qing, and attached a business card of his own by the way.

"Thank you," Cheng Qing thanked Uncle Yan after taking it, "By the way, have the clothes we changed out of now been dried or dried?" ”

"Recently, the drying machine in the store has not been used for a long time, and it seems to be a little old and cannot be operated, and we are repairing it. You and this girl's clothes are still being dried after washing, and because the rain has just stopped, it is difficult to dry the clothes in a short time......" Uncle Yan replied with some self-reproach.

"It's okay, thank you Uncle Yan."

"Then I'll quit first, goodbye." After Uncle Yan finished speaking, he left in a hurry to take care of some busy affairs in the store.

After Cheng Qing thanked him in the same way, he put the business card in his pocket, then shook off the folded clothes and quickly draped them on Wei Yibai's shoulders.

"What......" Wei Yibai felt a sudden sense of coverage, which made her, who was already in a state of confusion, even more overwhelmed. She looked at Cheng Qing, who was carrying extremely serious emotions on her face at this time, and wanted to say what she wanted to say, but she couldn't say it when it came to her mouth. Wei Yibai didn't put any resistance, and Ren Chengqing put this coat on her.

"That's why I proposed to Lin Xinlu that I want to borrow a waiter jacket from Uncle Yan," Cheng Qing looked at Wei Yibai seriously and said, "If this set of clothes on your body is placed in the café and seen by the guests, there is a high probability that this is just an activity in the maid café, and now even if you are explaining, it is already in a state where the more you explain, the worse it gets." However, we had to go home immediately, and the café was still a short distance from the shopping mall, and Lin Xinlu had booked a car for us. It's noon, and it's the peak of foot traffic in the mall. Seeing this outfit outside the café with so many people is likely to cause more unnecessary misunderstandings, including people with broken mouths, and even some unscrupulous people......"

"I just don't want to make you encounter some troubles as soon as you return to the Eastern Capital, so I want to make up for it as much as possible. Although this dress can't completely cover your outfit, it still has a good disguise effect, at least others won't notice anything unusual at first glance. ”

"By the way, the only bad thing is that now that the rain has stopped, the sun is coming out again, and the weather will be hotter. Because this outfit is an autumn coat, it may be a little stuffy when draped on the body, so just be patient a little. Rest assured, if someone drives us from here to home, it won't take long to get there. When you go home, change into your usual clothes, and you're good to go. ”

Cheng Qing's words made Wei Yibai stunned, and she stood in place at a loss. It seems that there is no longer the discussion of those customers in the store, and all that is left is the words that Cheng Qing just said for her sake.

Wei Yibai tilted her head slightly to look at Cheng Qing's side face, and her heartbeat suddenly became a lot more intense, so that she could hear it clearly at this moment. Even if he said that he was ordinary and boring, at this time, it turned out to be so reliable......

No, no, what the hell was I thinking?

Wei Yibai quickly broke free from his dangerous thoughts and returned to his normal state. She looked around, except for Cheng Qing, there were only people left who didn't know what had happened suddenly than herself.

"Oh!" "Congratulations!" "I wanted to stage this scene hahaha......" The crowd suddenly burst into fragmented applause, and then the applause grew louder and louder, until the customers in the entire café began to applaud and applauded.

"There doesn't seem to be a need for applause here...... By the way, what's wrong with you, why are you a little blushing, is it a cold and fever? Cheng Qing looked at Wei Yibai, whose face was now covered with shame, and asked puzzledly. At the same time as asking, he stretched out his hand, ready to touch Wei Yibai's forehead.

"I didn't ...... No, no, no, I'm fine! Wei Yibai said in a panic, and dodged Cheng Qing's outstretched hand. She immediately took the coat off her shoulders, put it on formally, quickly buttoned the buttons one by one, completely blocked the clothes inside, and pulled Cheng Qing to leave the café quickly.

"Huh? What happened? Cheng Qing asked suspiciously as she and Wei Yibai walked to the place where the driver was waiting near the shopping mall.

"Nothing. Cheng Qingjun is really sluggish, and he doesn't look at the reaction of the customers in the café. Although it is true that there will be some gossip when walking outside in this maid outfit, but didn't you just put on your clothes to make others ......" Wei Yibai's voice became smaller and smaller the further he spoke, and finally did not finish his words.

"Ah, what do you mean? What do you want to say in the end? I don't seem to hear ......"

"It's okay, just act like I didn't say anything."

The conversation is over. The two of them walked all the way like this, neither of them made a sound, and it became a little cold, as if the goal of both of them now was only to walk to the car that picked them up, and then take the car home quickly.

Walking to the road outside the shopping mall, Cheng Qing took out his mobile phone and glanced at the location that Lin Xinlu had just sent him, and then looked around and saw a car not far away. After Cheng Qing checked the picture, she took Wei Yibai and walked in the direction of the car.

When I arrived next to the car, the master in the driver's seat controlled the glass window to fall, and said enthusiastically: "Presumably this is the two who the lady notified me that I need to pick up and drop, hurry up and get in the car, the air conditioning in the car has been turned on for a long time, and the environment is much more comfortable than the outside." ”

Cheng Qing opened the door first, and the cold air in the car came out, giving people a cool feeling. He made a gesture of "please" and motioned for Wei Yibai to get in the car first.

When Wei Yibai entered the car, Cheng Qing didn't procrastinate, and he quickly entered the car. After closing the door, the master confirmed that it was safe, stepped on the accelerator, and drove the car into the traffic.

The interior of the vehicle is still very quiet while it is moving. Cheng Qing and Wei Yibai both tried to find a conversation and then ease the current atmosphere. But they each thought about it for a long time, and they didn't think of any good topics to talk to each other.

"Attention!"

Suddenly, the vehicle braked urgently, and both Cheng Qing and Wei Yibai leaned forward due to inertia. Fortunately, the driver reminded them in advance, and the two of them had made some protective preparations, so they were not affected too much.

The master had just turned around to ask about the two people in the back seat, but he heard them ask each other at the same time:

"Are you alright?"

The two looked at each other, the air seemed to freeze for a moment, and they said at the same time, "I'm fine." ”

"Really, this is a child who ran out of nowhere, and the parents don't take good care of it. Fortunately, all the energy was invested in the road conditions ahead, so I was able to notice the abnormality and brake immediately, which did not cause any accidents. ”

After a while, the child's parents ran from the side of the road in a panic and anxiously, and when they saw that their child was now paralyzed by the speeding car that had stopped in front of him, they were just as frightened as the child.

They also felt deeply sorry for finding their separated child, and reflected on their failure to take good care of the child. After some safety instruction from the master, the child was led away with him.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I scared you, because I heard the young lady say that you were temporarily found by her to go to the mall, so you should want to get home quickly, so I drove faster. For the rest of the journey, I'll slow down a bit to ensure efficiency and safety. The master also returned to the driver's seat with the same apologetic face, twisted the key, and returned to driving after the fire.

The vehicle is back in motion, and both are looking out the window for now. In fact, there is really nothing to see outside the window, this is just a subconscious move made by the two to hide the embarrassment of silence. However, Wei Yibai seemed to have something to say at this time, but she hesitated and didn't speak.

After a while, finally, Wei Yibai took back the gaze that had been cast out of the window, and stretched out a finger to poke Cheng Qing.

In fact, Cheng Qing started to look out the window to avoid making himself look too embarrassed in the silence, but when he looked at it, he felt a feeling of exhaustion all over his body. Because compared to the usual summer vacation schedule, today is another day for him to get up early, so his mental state is definitely not very good.

Therefore, he is now in a state of resting with his eyes closed, but because his face is tilted to the side of the window, Wei Yibai can't see it.

And when Cheng Qing felt that he seemed to be lightly poked by something, he was frightened and bounced up slightly from his seat. Resisting the urge to scream, he turned his head in the direction of the source of the stimulus.

When he opened his eyes and the appearance in front of him became clear, Cheng Qing realized that Wei Yibai had been trying to wake him up, and he immediately reacted and said, "I'm out of shape, what's wrong?" How can I help you? ”

Wei Yibai said to Cheng Qing in a particularly low voice: "This scene, isn't it very similar...... On the way back from the airport yesterday? ”

"Yes, it's very similar, except that I fell asleep on the way today, do you call me because I'm almost home now? I don't seem to have much of a sense of time......"

Cheng Qing was stunned, he didn't expect Wei Yibai to talk to him about it, but he still replied to her normally.

"You ...... yesterday" After Wei Yibai slowly said three words, he seemed to be worried about something, and did not continue to say the following words.

"Ah, me yesterday? I didn't do anything in the car yesterday, except for a little rest while you were asleep, and that's it. Cheng Qing couldn't help but feel a little frightened by the mystery brought by Wei Yibai's three words, and hurriedly explained to herself.

"No, it's not...... Wei Yibai shook her head and denied it, and a blush gradually appeared on her face.

"Your face...... Why, is it really a cold and fever? If you really get worse by my side step by step, put aside the explanation to my mother, I am ashamed and blame myself first. Cheng Qing couldn't help but panic even more when she saw the scene in front of her, and even wanted to stop the master quickly and ask him to drive the car to the nearest hospital.

Wei Yibai seemed to have finally broken through the scruples in her heart, she was afraid and flustered with a temptation to say the unknown result of what she said next, and said softly to Cheng Qing:

"I can ...... with you Be friends? ”
