Lu Ye coaxed Meng Ji into a kiss and hug for a while, then walked from the fire escape in the stairwell to the parking lot.
The reason was that Meng Ji said he didn't want others to see him coming out of his room.
Lu Ye, who was satisfied with his meal, did not take the elevator to go downstairs. He actually felt that he should do so.
Chen Mu had been waiting in the parking lot early. He looked in the direction of the elevator for a long time.
Mr. Lu should come down at this time.
There were footsteps coming from behind. Chen Mu turned around and saw Mr. Lu, a well-dressed man, smiling extremely.
Mr. Lu, did you come down the stairs?
What a rare thing.
Chen Mu quickly ran over to open the door for him. After getting into the driver's seat, Chen Mu felt that the day had changed.
Mr. Shen was tortured by the eldest lady of the Li family in country F and refused to return home. Mr. Lu was afraid of being seen walking down the stairs.
Men who are in love are so crazy.
The car slowly drove out of the parking lot. The weather was very good today and the sun was dazzling.
Lu Ye looked out the window, feeling particularly good.
Meng Ji was no longer as repelled by her close contact as before. She would even joke with herself. Everything was getting better.
However, the next moment, what Chen Mu reported made Lu Ye's mood plummet from the sky to the bottom.
"Mr. Lu, Jiang Xicheng is back." Chen Mu stared at the traffic in front of him. He had just learned this news.
Lu Ye frowned. He and Meng Ji had been living so comfortably recently that he almost forgot Jiang Xicheng's existence.
"What's he doing back here?" Lu Ye's well-joined fingers smoothed the fabric on his legs again and again.
With his persistence, the wrinkles finally disappeared.
Chen Mu braced himself and replied, "Open up the market."
He really didn't expect that Jiang Xicheng had opened up all the markets in Country F in a short period of time and achieved excellent results. Now he had monopolized the aquaculture industry in Western Country for the first time.
When Jiang Xicheng came back today, his purpose was to move the head office of country F back and then open up the market of country Y.
His purpose is clear in his heart.
He came back to fight for Meng Ji.
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows, that man did have some abilities.
But how could he be afraid?
Everything Jiang Xicheng is doing now is just a trivial matter in Lu Ye's eyes. Meng Ji belongs to him and no one can take it away.
"Send someone to watch him." A cold light flashed in Lu Ye's eyes, and he looked out the window with disgust.
"Okay." Chen Mu replied.
——
After coaxing Lu Ye away, Meng Ji briefly freshened up and prepared to go find Dong Qing and others.
In the past three days, they had to quickly rehearse a dance with the team members.
In three days it was time for another competition.
Her cell phone was vibrating. Meng Ji happened to be going out, so she picked it up and took a look.
It's Li Xin's phone number.
Meng Ji quickly answered the call, "How come you, this girl, have disappeared in the past few days!"
Li Xin on the other end of the phone apologized, still laughing and joking, "Okay, okay, I've been having a good time lately."
She felt so comfortable.
Meng Ji couldn't help laughing when he thought of Shen Jing's miserable appearance.
"Aji, I follow every episode of your show!! Your performance is really amazing!!"
Meng Ji replied with a smile, "Fortunately, you are not as good as you, and you have troubled Young Master Shen."
The person on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, then laughed again.
"I bullied that idiot like that, and he still follows me. How ridiculous. Ah Ji, do you think all men are cheap?"
Meng Ji felt Li Xin's tone gradually getting lower.
She hurriedly said, "Axin, are you okay?"
The other side sniffed, and there was a hint of crying in the laughter, "How heartless I am, how can I have bad moments?"
There was a knock on the door, and Meng Ji opened the door.
It's Xiaoya.
She looked around the room, but there was no sign of Mr. Lu, and then she spoke, "Sister Ji, Sister Qing and the others have already gone down. Ask me to come upstairs to find you, and we will go on."
Li Xin heard the conversation here.
"Aji, please do your work first, don't worry about me."
"I won't let myself get hurt again."
Before Meng Ji could reply, Li Xin hung up the phone alone.
Xiaoya was a little anxious here. It was almost time to record. Meng Ji had a very special status and had won first place in the previous competition.
Therefore, all the little things she does in daily life will be watched by many pairs of eyes, and her mistakes will also be magnified.
If she was late at the beginning of this issue, she might be discussed behind her back by others.
Xiaoya led Meng Ji quickly towards the elevator.
After hanging up the phone, Meng Ji was still a little uneasy.
Ah Xin's tone didn't sound like she was in a good state. She had always been soft-hearted. She usually said rude words, but her heart was completely soft.
Meng Ji is now afraid, and Li Xin softens towards him after seeing Shen Jing's miserable state.
She felt sorry for Li Xin, so she naturally favored her best friend.
Shen Jing took away Li Xin's innocence and caused her to miscarry their first child, which was unforgivable in Meng Ji's opinion.
Meng Ji wanted to persuade Li Xin to stay awake at all times.
Father, like son.
What's more, she didn't even handle her emotional situation well.
While immersed in their own thoughts, the two of them walked to the recording site of the show.
As soon as she appeared, the camera focused on her, and contestants, both familiar and unfamiliar, gathered around to greet Meng Ji.
She is the hot spot on the show.
Wherever Meng Ji is there, there are cameras. Anyone who doesn't want to be recognized by the audience quickly wants to get out of the industry as soon as possible.
Meng Ji also knew that the other party might not be kind to her, but she responded to them all with a smile.
Han Lin and Fu Yan "rescued" her from the crowd.
Dong Qing smiled teasingly, "Ah Ji, my big star is here. How does it feel to be surrounded by people and unable to walk?"
"Not very free." Meng Ji also joked and sat down next to the three of them.
Xiaoya is an assistant, hiding out of sight of the cameras and always paying attention to Meng Ji.
Mingchu also made cheering gestures to Meng Ji where the camera couldn't see him.
Meng Ji saw it and responded with a smile and nod.
At this moment, she was being photographed by the camera at any time. Meng Ji temporarily put aside his worries about Li Xin and did not dare to show the second expression on his face.
Otherwise, tomorrow's hot searches will be all kinds of speculations related to you.
The few of them chatted for a while, and then the time finally came.
The host walked onto the stage and reviewed yesterday's highlights, congratulated the top ten contestants, and then left the stage after cueing the process.
Xiaoya snickered in the corner.
This is the most perfunctory variety show she has ever seen, and sometimes the process requires guest cues.
Meng Ji and his group are absolutely indifferent, they just do whatever they want and don't like to be restricted.
After temporarily separating from his friends, Meng Ji found a classroom with his team members and started rehearsing.
Of the eight team members, five are in the top 30, and three are relatively low, hovering between 70 and 80.
"Sister Ji, what dance are we performing for the first time?" A hip-hop girl asked Meng Ji with a smile.
They all like Meng Ji, and they think they are very lucky to be able to dance with Meng Ji.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Meng Ji sat cross-legged on the ground, and everyone gathered in a circle.
Several people were discussing heatedly.
Meng Ji was obviously a little absent-minded. For Li Xin and herself, she felt a little tight in her chest, as if something was about to happen.
"Sister Ji, can you?" the short-haired girl asked Meng Ji, interrupting her thoughts.
After considering the dance types of several people, they decided to dance Chinese dance.
Meng Ji looked at the name on her chest: Li Zhaozhao.
She nodded, she knew many kinds of dance, and she was quite good at Chinese dance.
The dance director of this issue asked each team to set a theme. After several people discussed it, they finally decided on the theme of "Resisting School Violence".
Meng Ji and several team members began to rehearse dance moves by themselves, standing on tiptoes, spinning, and falling again.
Meng Ji is immersed in the world of dance.
In the end, Dong Qing and others came to find her, only to find that the members of their group were still practicing.
"Aji, you guys are working too hard." Fu Yan sighed.
Meng Ji wiped the sweat from his face and said, "Let's stop here today. Everyone, go back and have a good rest. We will continue tomorrow."
Everyone nodded and said goodbye.
Meng Ji followed Dong Qing and the others back upstairs. She liked the current situation very much.
It had been a long time since he had sweated like this, and Meng Ji was filled with joy.
After saying goodbye to Dong Qing and others, Meng Ji returned to the room. She touched her wrist and found it empty.
Then she remembered that her bracelet was left in the practice room.
That bracelet was a birthday gift from Li Xin to herself, and she wore it for several years.
She had just started dancing and took off her bracelet.
Meng Ji opened the door and walked out again. On the way to the elevator, he had to pass the fire escape.
The door was always closed, but suddenly opened when Meng Ji walked by.
She was instantly pulled in by a strong force.
Someone grabbed her wrist and hit her neck hard.
Meng Ji tilted his head and fainted.
There was a squeaking sound in the corridor, and then the sound of a car starting.
Lu Ye got out of the car, holding Meng Ji's favorite dessert in his hand.
At the same time, a black car drove past him.
Lu Ye looked back at the car, then turned back and walked slowly to the corridor.
