The low air pressure in the office was breathless, the temperature of the air conditioner was locked at eighteen degrees, but the faces of the five people standing across from the desks were beading with sweat.

Jin Lingye stood beside Gu Yi and couldn't help frowning slightly as he threw one folder after another with music scores on the main judges of the competition.

While Gu Yi picked up another sheet of music and looked at it, one of the judges glanced at Jin Lingye, and his eyes were obviously asking him for help.

He thought for a while before he spoke: "Mr. Gu, although these entries are not perfect, there are really some good works among them. Moreover, there are two people who have just started to learn composition and have such a level, so the starting point is really high, and there is a lot of potential for development......"

"What I need now is a flawless work, not a student with potential." Gu Yi interrupted Jin Lingye's words, raised his arm, smashed the folder in his hand on the chief judge again, and asked sharply: "This is the work you have selected for more than a month?" ”

Jin Lingye shook his head slightly, this year's contestants are really not lucky, if their works were placed in previous years, they would definitely win awards easily.

It's a pity that this year is different from previous competitions, Gu Yi is looking for a competition that can be comparable to the song created by Lin Ya this time, so the result was doomed long before the competition began.

"Actually...... Among these works...... "A few novels YBDU have really good songs...... the chief judge glanced at a few folders that were still left on Gu Yi's desk, he was not sure whether the works he was talking about were now on the table, or had already been thrown on the ground.

When Gu Yi heard the defense, his face became a little gloomy again, and there was a chill in his eyes, he looked coldly at the five people standing in front of him, and suddenly pushed all the folders on the table to the ground.

"Find it out for me." These words were uttered almost through gritted teeth.

One of the chief judges and four judges hurriedly squatted on the ground, frantically flipping through the books, originally thinking that at least five or six works were not bad.

But according to Gu Yi's previous attitude, they mercilessly threw away all the shortlisted works they selected...... No, it was all smashed, and several people glanced at each other, thinking that it would be better to be more cautious, so they picked out the best three songs that several people agreed on, and put them respectfully on Gu Yi's desk.

Gu Yi looked at the works in the three folders in turn, and sneered: "This is what you think is a good work?" ”

"Yes...... It's ......" The chief judge secretly shouted "It's over" in his heart, and it seems that these three songs also didn't get into Gu Yi's eyes.

Before he could finish complaining in his head, the three folders smashed on him with unmistakable accuracy.

"Before the competition, I told you that the shortlisted works this time must be of a high standard, is this the high level in your mind?" Gu Yi saw that after he finished asking, no one dared to answer him, so he waved his hand angrily and roared: "Get out!" Get out of here! ”

As soon as the five of them heard this, they almost scrambled out of the office, as if they were afraid that they would be named by Gu Yi to stay again.

When there were only two people left in the office, Jin Lingye hesitated for a while, but still said what was in his heart: "Mr. Gu, although you require the shortlisted works to be of a high standard, if you set the criteria for shortlisting at the level of Miss Lin Ya from the beginning, I am afraid that any work will not have a chance to be shortlisted." ”

Hearing the word "Lin Ya", although Gu Yi still maintained his original sitting posture, his fingers moved slightly.

Lin Ya! Lin Ya! Lin Ya! It was a name he had always wanted to forget all these days. When the competition was still in the preparation stage, when someone proposed to let Lin Ya be the chief judge, he was scolded by him at that time.

When he heard that she was going to get married, he did think about taking her back by any means, and he thought of ten thousand ways to destroy her marriage, but until she got married, all his plans were not implemented.

She is the woman he loves, but his letting go is not because he can't bear it. His purpose is cruel, he wants her to fall from the apex of happiness to the abyss of pain, he wants her to know and remember, this is the end of betraying himself.

No one could betray him, including Chu Xinyi.

No, it should be said that it is precisely because she is the only one he loves that he cannot betray him.

For him, she is irreplaceable by anyone.

In terms of public, Lin Ya is an irreplaceable composer.

In terms of selfishness, Chu Xinyi is an irreplaceable lover.

After all this time, he became even more convinced of this.

Therefore, he wants to get her, he wants to possess her, he wants her to be completely alone.

In order to achieve this goal, he is forbearing, he is waiting, he is like a hungry beast, suffering from his heart, waiting for an opportunity to move.

However, Jin Lingye suddenly mentioned that name, which reminded him of the person he had hidden in his heart.

He couldn't wait any longer.

Jin Lingye looked at Gu Yi's side face and his trembling hand that clenched his fist, and couldn't guess what he was thinking.

After being silent for a long time, Gu Yi relaxed completely, and his tone was calm without a trace of emotion: "Help me contact Lin Ya, I want to see her tomorrow." ”

"I see." Jin Lingye had long seen that Gu Yi had been suppressing his feelings for Chu Xinyi, and he hadn't even attended her wedding, but why did he suddenly want to see her now?

"You get out." Gu Yi waved his hand, he needed to be alone now.

After Jin Lingye withdrew, Gu Yi completely let go of his disguise, and his body trembled from excessive excitement.

I'm finally going to see her. He stood up and walked to the window.

Perhaps, I really shouldn't have waited so long. He felt the need to wait until last night, but now he regrets that he wasted a month.

"Xinyi...... Xinyi ...... Xinyi ...... "Gu Yi read Chu Xinyi's name over and over again, as if he was in a demonic barrier.

Xinyi, I can ignore your betrayal, as long as you kneel down and beg for my forgiveness, and promise me that there will never be a next time.

Xinyi, I don't mind if you toss and turn under that man these days, sooner or later, I will let you pass out from exhaustion under my ravages every night.

Xinyi, I can't wait to hold you in my arms right now, kiss your lips, touch every inch of your body, and insert it deep into your body, so that you can truly become my woman.

Just when Gu Yi's mind was full of thoughts about Chu Xinyi, a man appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but curse: "Damn Ning Ronghao!" ”

He turned around and sat back at his desk, took out a file bag from his desk, and took out the thick materials inside, which was the investigation he asked Ning Ronghao to investigate.

Gu Yi got these materials before Chu Xinyi got married, and originally wanted to defeat Ning Ronghao through scandals such as corruption and bribery, but he didn't expect him to be so clean that he couldn't start.

However, there was one thing that surprised Gu Yi very much, that is, the personal assets under Ning Ronghao's name should not be underestimated, but those were all the money he earned by cooperating with friends when he was in college, and it was also clean.

And since he worked, he has never been in contact with business matters, probably to avoid suspicion.

"Ning Ronghao, you are really worthy of me Gu Yi treating you as an opponent." Gu Yi's index finger flicked the photo of Ning Ronghao on the data, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, he grabbed the paper cutter in the pen holder on the table, and poked, poked, and poked desperately at Ning Ronghao's face, until the photo was full of holes, and he smiled contentedly, and the more he laughed, the louder he became.

However, such an almost crazy smile made his whole face contort.

He thinks he is a person who understands major matters, and he also admires an honest official like Ning Ronghao, if he is not his rival, he will never want to kill him.

"Ning Ronghao, you remember for me, Xinyi can only be mine! It's mine! Gu Yi gritted his teeth viciously, his eyes were bloodshot with anger, he really wished that the paper cutter in his hand pierced Ning Ronghao himself.

The phone on the desk rang a few times, and it was Jin Lingye's internal line.

A trace of worry flashed in Gu Yi's eyes, he was afraid that Jin Lingye would tell him that Chu Xinyi couldn't come to the company, so he sorted out his emotions, so he picked up the phone: "Say." ”

"Miss Lin Ya will come over tomorrow morning." Jin Lingye felt very fortunate in his heart, fortunately Chu Xinyi agreed to come over, otherwise, I don't know who Gu Yi would take to vent his anger.

"Got it." Gu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that he wouldn't see her tomorrow.

"Mr. Gu, I will postpone your meeting at ten o'clock tomorrow until the afternoon." Jin Lingye naturally knew that all meetings or guests had to make way for Chu Xinyi.

"Well done." Putting down the phone, Gu Yi smiled proudly.

He put Ning Ronghao's materials into the file bag and threw them into the drawer. He carefully took out a photo frame from another drawer, which contained Chu Xinyi's photo.

Looking at her photo, Gu Yi's fingertips gently caressed her lips, she had a very charming voice, I don't know what kind of moans she would let out under that man?

With Chu Xinyi's expression of being conquered under Ning Ronghao, the strong jealousy made Gu Yi's male instinct start to haunt him.

He reluctantly put Chu Xinyi's photo back in the drawer, only took his mobile phone and walked out of the office, his ** urgently needed to be solved, but it was not in front of his goddess.

Without Ning Ronghao by her side, Chu Xinyi didn't sleep soundly this night.

Mu Zhengyu's condition was not very good and he had a fever all the time, so Ning Ronghao sent him to the hospital and stayed with him there for one night.

This is the first time that he and Chu Xinyi have lived separately since they got married, and Ning Ronghao has thought more than once that it would be nice to be with Chu Xinyi, but when he thinks of her physical condition, he feels that it is right to leave her at home.

Chu Xinyi answered several calls from Ning Ronghao last night, he was very worried about her physical pain, but fortunately she didn't have anything to do this time, which made him feel a little relieved.

Chu Xinyi sat up slowly, got out of bed and started to wash, she was going to see Gu Yi in the company today.

In the evening, the family held a family banquet to entertain her grandparents, but all the dishes were taken care of by the nanny, and she didn't need to interfere at all, which was not only Ning Guoen's meaning, but also Ning Ronghao's instructions to call Zhou Zhihui over and over again.

It is precisely because of this that she feels that instead of not helping at home and waiting for Ning Ronghao to come back, it is better to agree to Gu Yi's invitation, he may have a new job for her, and it would be good if she still wrote songs for Ning Zaiyu.

Chu Xinyi thought that Gu Yi didn't come on the day of her wedding, and only asked Jin Lingye to give him a gift money. Although his busy schedule was a good reason, she always felt that there were other reasons why he didn't come.

She originally had a strange feeling in her heart, thinking that her cooperation with Gu Yi might end here, but she didn't expect to receive a call from Jin Lingye yesterday, which made her feel that she was thinking too much.

After tidying up the room, she went downstairs to have breakfast.

Ning Guoen and Zhou Zhihui were sitting in the living room reading the newspaper, and the aunt was setting the table to prepare breakfast.

"Dad, morning. Mom, early. Chu Xinyi greeted the second elder.

Zhou Zhihui just nodded, but Ning Guoen smiled enthusiastically and said, "Get up?" What time does Rong Hao come back on the plane today? ”

"Around two o'clock in the afternoon." Chu Xinyi answered Ning Guoen's question, and looked at Zhou Zhihui, "Mom, I'm going to go out for a while, and the company I've been working with...... Ah, it was Jae-woo's company who called yesterday and asked me to go. ”

"Are you going to write a song for Jae-woo again?" Although Zhou Zhihui is not very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, her talent is something she has to admit.

A few days ago, Ning Guoen collected all Chu Xinyi's works, including pop songs and movie soundtracks, and forced her to listen to them, plus the awards he talked about, to be honest, Zhou Zhihui felt that at least this daughter-in-law could give her more capital to show off than Kong Lingxuan.

It's a pity that all the media used the word "he" when mentioning Lin Ya, and they didn't even understand the gender at all. Zhou Zhihui was afraid that Chu Xinyi would be too showy, but now she feels that she is a little too low-key, so that no one believes her if she wants to show off.

Therefore, when she heard that Chu Xinyi was going to the company, Zhou Zhihui was not unhappy at all, but hoped that she would still write songs for Ning Zaiyu this time, so that her son would have a firm foothold in the music world.

"I don't know about this yet, I rarely ask, but I'll know when I get to the company anyway." Chu Xinyi told the truth.

"You, now you're Zaiyu's sister-in-law, your husband is such a younger brother, and you are such a little uncle, shouldn't you think about his future?" Zhou Zhihui doesn't ask for someone she doesn't like, let alone ask for a daughter-in-law she doesn't like, she doesn't make her words clear, she just hopes that Chu Xinyi can understand what she means.

Chu Xinyi was confused when she heard it, she looked at Zhou Zhihui and waited for her to continue.

It's really stupid. Zhou Zhihui gritted her teeth, yes, for the sake of her youngest son's future, she also showed this face.

She simply said: "I mean, since your works have won awards, you can't take the initiative to ask to cooperate with the company, even if you charge less money and write a few more songs for Jaewoo?" ”

"Mom, Jae-woo has just released an album, and there should be no plans to release another album in the near future." Chu Xinyi explained with a heartless smile: "In this regard, the company has an overall arrangement......

Zhou Zhihui waved her hand impatiently, glanced at her, and said unhappily: "That's why I said to use your ......."

Without waiting for Zhou Zhihui to finish speaking, Ning Guoen coughed, interrupted her words, and said sharply: "Okay, don't take those methods of eating and taking cards in the officialdom home to teach your daughter-in-law badly, and besides, you have forgotten what I don't let you do on weekdays?" Comrade Zhou Zhihui, haven't I given you a political lesson for a while? ”

"What does it matter? Xinyi is not engaged in politics, isn't their entertainment industry talking about these unspoken rules. Zhou Zhihui defended herself.

"Xinyi is in the entertainment industry, she is an artist!" Ning Ronghao dissatisfiedly corrected Zhou Zhihui's words, and gave her an ultimatum: "I'll say it one last time, don't you come to teach your daughter-in-law badly, do you hear clearly?" ”

"Yes, I see." Zhou Zhihui was unwilling and reluctantly agreed. This old man educates people at every turn, and he usually locks her in the room to give her lessons, but today he actually said this to her in front of his daughter-in-law, and he was too merciless to her.

In order to hide her embarrassment, she flipped through a newspaper casually, and just happened to see an entertainment news, and immediately excitedly pointed to the photo on the newspaper and asked, "Isn't this a female singer who has worked with you?" was photographed traveling in Europe with a wealthy businessman, and he was also revealed to have been a junior of a wealthy businessman for several years. You've worked with her before, and you've heard anything about it. ”

"When I worked with her, I only met once, and the time was very short, I just listened to her range and timbre, and I didn't have time to talk about personal things." Chu Xinyi smiled bitterly, she didn't expect Zhou Zhihui to be interested in these, but this aspect is not her area of expertise or preference.

Zhou Zhihui was a little unhappy again, why didn't she even disclose any news? However, it doesn't look like she's lying, and it's no wonder that with her kind of personality, she shouldn't be interested in this kind of gossip news.

"Alright, let's eat." Ning Guoen couldn't listen to it anymore, put down the newspaper in his hand and walked to the restaurant.

Seeing this, Chu Xinyi hurriedly stood up and followed Zhou Zhihui to have breakfast.

After breakfast, Chu Xinyi went back to the room to clean up, and when the time was almost up, she was ready to leave to meet Gu Yi at the company.

"Dad, Mom, I'm going to Zaiyu's company." Chu Xinyi explained her whereabouts to the second elder.

Ning Guoen nodded and asked with a smile, "What time will you come back at noon?" Your mother and I are waiting for you to eat. ”

"No, I want to go to the bookstore after talking about work, and then go to the airport to pick me up." In the end, a red cloud flew up Chu Xinyi's cheeks.

"Okay, okay, go ahead, be careful on the road." Ning Guoen nodded happily, he was really relieved to see Chu Xinyi and Ning Ronghao's two children, husband and wife.

Hearing Chu Xinyi walk out and close the door, Zhou Zhihui pursed her lips disdainfully, and muttered, "What is there to pick up, doesn't my son know the way?" ”

"I asked you to go to the hospital for a check-up, did you go?" Ning Guoen squinted at Zhou Zhihui, why did she eat all kinds of vinegar.

Zhou Zhihui was not happy when she heard it, she waved her hand angrily, and said angrily: "Go, go, go!" What's there to check? I'm not in menopause. ”

"Hmph, I think the symptoms are too similar." Ning Guoen saw that Zhou Zhihui's face turned red with anger, and he couldn't help laughing, "You said you, what are you jealous of when your son and daughter-in-law have a good relationship?" When I was young, I didn't eat enough vinegar with every female comrade-in-arms and female colleague? ”

"Am I jealous? Obviously, they look at you as if they are looking at fragrant buns......" Suddenly talking about these old things, Zhou Zhihui's face turned even redder, and she complained embarrassedly: "It's eight hundred years ago, what else do you want to talk about." ”

"You, the older you get, the more brainless you are, Xinyi and Rong Hao are newly married, when it's hot, you can let them do whatever they want, an old woman is inserted in the middle to manage this and that, how annoying." Ning Guoen shook his head helplessly, it seemed that he had to give this old woman a little sweetness, "You are not happy that the young couple have a good relationship, do you want to see them quarrel every day?" ”

Zhou Zhihui was silent, of course she didn't want her son to be unhappy.

"Okay, don't be blind, let's go, go out for a walk with me, I suddenly thought that there is no wine that the old chief likes to drink at home, let's go out and buy two bottles." Ning Guoen stood up and stretched out his arm to Zhou Zhihui, "When your son is older, you can hand him over to your daughter-in-law, I will make an exception today and let you carry my arm." ”

"Cut, as if someone is rare." Zhou Zhihui glared at Ning Guoen, but still stood up, walked to his side, and took his arm, the smile on the corner of his mouth was obvious.
