By dinner time, many people had already left the performance team dejectedly. There were still a few people who had not been assessed. Among them, there was one person that You Qingzhi could not forget. This person was Gao Huijie.
Gao Huijie did not expect things to turn out this way. In the past, the town always begged her to come to the event, but now that Cao Anqian and Chumang were here, she was not as outstanding. More importantly, this time, she had to go. This was related to the big event of her life. Her father said that as long as she could participate in the performance, he would be able to let her enter the county troupe with a million yuan.
There was another thing that made her unhappy. In the past, Li Dongmin had the final say, but this time, it was Qingzhi who had the final say. The worst thing was that this Qingzhi did not give face to anyone.
She had offended him. Back then, she had played him for a fool and made him lose his dignity. Although she regretted it a little later, it was already over. She felt that if she had offended him, so be it. What could he do to her? Unexpectedly, this fellow was really a beggar celebrating the new year.
She had actually fallen into his hands. How could he not take revenge on her? This was the first time Gao Huijie felt so uneasy.
Did he really want her to lower her stance and compromise? She wanted her father to call the secretary? It didn't seem like it would work. This secretary had just arrived and he didn't see eye to eye with his father. His father had invited him to dinner several times, but he didn't give him face.
The mayor got along well with his father, but he had gone out. What should he do? Helplessly, he drove home. His father listened to her words and without a word, he called Ma Hai, the deputy mayor in charge of the executive office. Ma Hai took care of everything over the phone and said that this matter was on him. However, after only half an hour, Ma Hai called back and said in frustration and anger,"There's no other way. That scum won't budge.”
Gao Baiwan was silent for a few minutes before finally saying to Gao Huijie,""Daughter, you have to talk to him personally about this. After all, you're classmates. You have to be more sincere. I think the matter will be resolved.”
Gao Huijie returned to the town helplessly. She sat there for an entire afternoon. She had tried to smile twice to tell You Qingzhi, but You Qingzhi walked past her as if he didn't know her.
Gao Huijie finally had a taste of being slapped in the face. It was really uncomfortable.
Gao Huijie turned around and walked out of the town hall. She wasn't going to participate in this performance, but on the way, a pair of pedestrians said something that caught her attention. One of them said,"Have you heard? Someone who truly understood art came to the town to give the actors a test. Those who were not good enough were all sent back.”
Another said," Yes, that's how it should be. Some people usually rely on their white voices to sing a few sentences and are already very impressive. We should let someone who knows better test them to see if they really understand art.”
Gao Huijie was on the verge of a breakdown. Looking at the situation, if she didn't make it up, she didn't know how society would belittle her.
She calmed down again. She had no choice. She was angry and didn't want to support her family. At the critical moment, she really had to lower her status and talk to that dead person. So, after dinner, she waited in the dark outside the guest house You Qingzhi's door. When she saw You Qingzhi return, he took out the key and opened the door. She summoned her courage and shouted,"You Qingzhi."
You Qingzhi turned his head. Before he could speak, another person jumped out from the side. This person was actually a primary school teacher called Cheng Jiaxue. She stood there and said shyly,""Director, I have something to tell you.”
You Qingzhi nodded and looked back at Gao Huijie.""Can you wait for a while?"
This time, he had a smile on his face, but his tone was unquestionable.
Gao Huijie's face was burning. She didn't know whether to stand or leave. She really had no choice. She had delivered herself to the door and was slapped in the face. She was such a proud princess back then. Thousands of people supported her and cared for her. Even if she spat on the ground, someone would have to come up and admire her for three minutes. She had never been treated so coldly like this.
At that moment, she had mixed feelings. The current situation played a trick on people. Thirty years went by, and forty years went by. Now it was her turn to be played.
After a long time, the door finally opened. Cheng Jiaxue came out. Her eyes were fleeting, and she was smiling shyly. She looked flustered, and a strand of her hair was messy. However, all in all, she looked happy.
What were they doing inside? Did he do that? It was too scary. Could it be that the director and the actors really needed to do something?
Heavens, what was going on? Did a teacher need to join the county troupe? Oh, right, that teacher was a private teacher, but it was said that her sister was the deputy mayor of the town government! Even the deputy mayor's sister was like this. Gao Huijie was shocked. She didn't know what to do. Would she still dare to enter this door? If he went in, wouldn't he be delivering himself to his doorstep?
If she went in again, he would really be like an emperor, waiting for his concubines to come to his door and pamper them one by one.
"Are you coming in or not?" You Qingzhi was a little impatient. He stood by the door and looked at her with an unfriendly tone.
His gaze was clearly like he was looking at a lamb that was about to be slaughtered. He was no longer the boy who held a scarf and stuttered.
Gao Huijie threw caution to the wind. Her legs were trembling as she braced herself and entered You Qingzhi's room.
"Is there something you need?" You Qingzhi's voice was cold.
Gao Huijie tried her best to calm herself down and said calmly,"I think there might be a misunderstanding between us.”
You Qingzhi didn't say anything. He just looked at her coldly, giving her a lot of pressure. Finally, he spoke and looked straight into her eyes."Misunderstanding? Do you believe your own words? Why don't we also misunderstand today?"
You Qingzhi didn't care if she was talking or not, and continued,""Don't waste your breath on those useless words. For a proud woman like you, do you have to let others treat whatever you say as an imperial edict?”
"That's what you think."
"Then what do you think?" You Qingzhi leaned forward again, almost sticking to Gao Huijie.
"What exactly do you want?" Gao Huijie asked nervously.”
"What do you think I want? Are you secretly happy that I'm interested in you again? Pfft, let me tell you, I don't care anymore.”
These words were too harsh. Gao Huijie's face turned pale. Her voice was trembling, and she almost fell to the ground." You Qingzhi, you should have a proper attitude. I'm here to discuss serious matters with you. Don't think that just because you have some power, it doesn't work here.”
You Qingzhi laughed loudly, his eyes turning even colder,"If it doesn't work, what are you doing here? Did I beg you to come? What right do you have to talk business with me? It's not up to you to decide whether you want to talk about business or not. Why should I correct your attitude? Do you still think that you're giving me face by looking for me? Do I have to be flattered?"
Gao Huijie was suffocated by his words and couldn't speak for a long time. She knew that it was useless to say anything, so she dragged her heavy footsteps out. Just as she opened the door, she heard You Qingzhi speak again.
