Revival Road

Chapter 187 Unexpected Exposure Part Three
Tang Yikun lit another cigar, but he extinguished it after only a few puffs.He rubbed away the butts in the ashtray like ink.Many friends laughed at his vulgar habit, but he liked it.Cai Yuanhao once said a motto that he admired very much: Only a great hero can show his true colors, and a real celebrity can be romantic.The kind of pretender who cares about other people's evaluation is a low-grade guy.

Tang Yikun changed into a dark gray jacket and left the room.Marin flashed out of his room like a ghost, and stood at the door looking at his boss.Tang Yikun said softly to eat on the third floor, Marin took out his room card and closed the door, "Boss, I'll go back to Hiraizumi tonight."

Tang Yikun nodded, knowing that Ma Lin was going back to change cars.Reminiscent of Cai Yuanhao's motto that I just remembered, when I visited Gu Meijun, I felt that Subaru couldn't do it. Tang Yikun felt that he was still far from the real hero, "Oh, remember to bring my matches..."

The two of them took the elevator down to the third floor, and there were few people in the western restaurant playing soothing soft music. He chose a table by the window and sat down, looking at the night scene of the city with twinkling lights and meditating.Ma Lin disappeared without a sound, and Tang Yikun was very satisfied with himself as the driver.

Lenny, who had changed into an apricot yellow dress, sat opposite him like a ghost, and took off the big sunglasses that could cover half of her face. Tang Yikun didn't say a word, and gently pushed the menu in front of Lenny.Lenny didn't say a word either, she buried herself in the menu.

This is an old habit. It is a woman's right to order food when they eat alone.

Tang Yikun stared at the woman in front of him.He found that her posture with her head down was beautiful, and her long eyelashes were very moving.This is the original one, and the first thing that impresses him is the pair of big smart eyes and beautiful long eyelashes.The age of the woman in the casino is confidential, but he knows her real age. She was born in 85 and is 28 years old this year.If it is an ordinary person, she has reached the age of marriage, but she will definitely not consider marriage, she is still ready to walk on the path she has chosen, and she is ready to climb new heights.

The East Lake Reading Club taught Tang Yikun a lot of knowledge. He already knew the truth, but the allusions always give people a sense of superiority.Cai Yuanhao once talked about the dialogue between Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty and the abbot at Jinshan Temple during his southern tour, facing the dots of white sails on the river, saying that life is only about fame and fortune.He has already realized this truth, fame is profit, so the old monk can further compress the goal of life.Isn't the woman in front of me who started to chase after the waiter telling the name of the dish just a profit?Isn't the entertainment company tour just to make yourself more famous and grab more money?But everyone has a different understanding of "benefits". Finding one's other half at the golden age to start a family and have children to enjoy family relationships is actually a "benefit", perhaps a greater benefit.But if you get one, it’s hard to get the other. How many young couples in the secular world can sit quietly in the warm and romantic western restaurant of a five-star hotel to enjoy delicious food and quiet time?So regrets always accompany the whole life...

The food came out quickly.Lan Ni opened a bottle of Belgian red wine for Tang Yikun, and she didn't drink alcohol, but asked for freshly squeezed strawberry juice. After clinking glasses, they talked about business.

"What's the matter this time?" Tang Yikun asked.

"There is something I want to discuss with you..." Lan Ni looked at the man with a calm face, and found that he was really old, with bags under his eyes and a tired face, which he didn't notice when he was having fun in the room just now.

"Tell me," Tang Yikun said flatly.He was distracted for a moment, and he thought of Gu Meijun. He and Gu Meijun had met in this hotel many times, and they seemed to have eaten in a western restaurant.

Forked a piece of black pepper steak onto the other party's plate, "What are you thinking?" Lan Ni noticed Tang Yikun's absent-mindedness.

"Well, it tastes good." Tang Yikun took a big bite.He always looks vulgar when eating Western food, and he can't get over it.Everyone will be imprinted with the imprint of life, and the imprint is different, so there is a generation gap.

"Are you worried?" She put another spoonful of salad on his plate, "The salad here is very authentic..."

"Only idiots have nothing on their minds... What do you want to discuss with me?"

"I want to plan a tour, a solo performance..." Lan Ni considered the words, "I recently met with my teacher from the music school, and he said that there is not much room for me to improve my skills, and my style is basically finalized. The most important thing is to raise awareness..."

"Well, I see..." She didn't mention the house in Jade Garden, which is good, "Sponsorship? How much does it cost?"

"I don't know...my cousin has no experience in this field, so I don't understand. But the teacher said that a concert tour is a good plan"

"I said she can't do it. You still need to find an expert to manage it. I'm definitely an amateur, but my experience tells me that no matter what it is, you should try to find an expert to do it. Let's do it, you first come up with a plan Come out and give it to me, whether it’s okay or not depends on the result of the approval..."

Lan Ni was stunned, "Approval? Who wants to approve?"

"Donghu has a budget for advertising and publicity expenses, you, at least need to get a touch of it," Tang Yikun said slowly.

Ever since he found out about Lenny's concert tour plans, he decided not to take out of his personal pocket.That amount of money will not be small, and it will definitely not be possible without several million.He has his own "private money", which is an astronomical figure in the eyes of ordinary people.But his expenses are too high... But if he uses the special funds of East Lake, it can be considered.The key issue is that the "May [-]st" Hiraizumi concert was exposed in front of Wei Fengru, which aroused her suspicions. Otherwise, things would be much simpler. Donghu has held such activities many times in the past. It has been co-organized by the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and it has also been independently undertaken. It's not that the first-class domestic celebrities have been invited, but they just pay more for their appearance.

This kind of activity seems to be lively and lively, but the relevant departments of the East Lake headquarters have made an evaluation, but the effect is very mediocre.Therefore, East Lake has gradually reduced such investment in recent years.However, there is no need to tell her about these things.

"Then, it's up to you." Lan Ni raised her glass, and in her opinion, he agreed.

"Don't be too happy too early," Tang Yikun sipped his wine, "To tell you the truth, my life is very difficult this year. When I come to Hiraizumi this time, I plan to meet with the bank and try to get a loan..."

"For Boss Tang, my little money is nothing but drizzle." Lan Ni took a sip of the juice, "I can't spend three lifetimes if I slipped through your fingers."

"It depends on how you spend it." Tang Yikun smiled silently.He has faced this question countless times, but he doesn't remember if the woman in front of him mentioned that the most are his relatives, who doesn't have many poor relatives?The ancients were sincere and never deceived. They lived poorly in the busy city and no one asked them, while the rich lived deep in the mountains and had distant relatives.After Tang Yikun got rich, I don't know how many people came to the door to fight the autumn wind. Many of them said what Lan Ni said just now, and Tang Yikun's answer was similar, "If you are like ordinary people in Pingquan City, without illness and disaster, there will be three or five people a year. 50 is enough. If you are like you, maybe [-] million is not enough, right?"

"When I really become popular, I'll support you." Lan Ni smiled charmingly.

Used to be infatuated with her smile.It should be said that watching it now is also very moving.He has had many women with different smiles.What impresses him the most is that Wei Fengru is unrestrained and carefree, while Dai Tianxiang is reserved and hidden. Most of the time, it is almost invisible, except that the corners of the mouth are slightly curved.But the woman in front of him is another kind, with a soul-stirring beauty.

"Haha," Tang Yikun laughed. This was the funniest joke he had ever heard. "You have to know yourself. When you, Miss Lanny, become a top-tier singer, you will find that you have more ways to make money, but spending money There will be more places than now. I'm afraid I won't be able to spend it, haha" He laughed for a while, "Let's be serious, something happened recently that made me reconsider the relationship between you and me," Tang Yikun Her expression became serious, and Lan Ni also opened her eyes wide.

"How should I put it? We both know there is no future between us. It's the truth, and it's always unpleasant to tell the truth, but you have to face the truth, and you can't live in an illusion"

"What do you mean?"

"Please listen to me." Tang Yikun's voice was very low, but very clear, "Since we all know that breaking up will happen sooner or later, there is nothing to be surprised about. No matter what achievements you will have in the future, even if you become a superstar, You have to marry. As a man, I understand men’s feelings better than you, so it’s good for you to end our relationship earlier...of course it’s also good for me. Don’t worry, I will take your request seriously. Well, I hope your concert will be a success...Lenny, how long have you and I known each other?"

"Three years and one month, a total of 1120 days." Lenny blurted out.She was much calmer than Tang Yikun imagined.

"You remember clearly. At that time you just graduated from Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music, right? Comb your hair like that..." It was weird, but Tang Yikun couldn't find a suitable word to describe it.

"Like a wild boy, right? I'm actually pretty wild. I once beat up a male classmate in middle school and made him cry..."

"That's what they let you in, don't know what's good or bad..." Tang Yikun felt a kind of warmth in his heart, and the scene of the first meeting clearly appeared in front of him. It was also in Beiyang. He was invited by a friend to watch a concert. Then I met her.She was a little fatter then than she is now, but she attracted him right away.She drank until the early morning that day, and she sang several songs to him.Up until now Tang Yikun suspected that it was a prior arrangement, but he was no longer in the mood to get to the bottom of it.

"Lenny, listen to me. I hope you have a good ending, not only in your career. I think we can still be friends, but it won't be the same relationship as before..."

Lenny's tears finally came out.Tang Yikun wasn't sure if she was acting.She graduated from the Conservatory of Music, but knows how to perform.If she didn't understand a little bit, she wouldn't be in the spotlight.She was neither surprised nor opposed to the "breakup", that's for sure.Otherwise she wouldn't remember the common date so clearly.

"You have already made a decision, right? I went to Hiraizumi and you avoided seeing me. You have already made a decision? Right?"

"No. The final decision was made just now. I'm actually a very casual person, I don't think carefully. I am more than ten years older than you, and I have a deeper understanding of life than you at least now. You and I have shared Three years, this time is good for me, I will cherish it. The relationship between people is wonderful, gathering and parting are normal, and we have to adapt to this normal..."

Suddenly, Lan Ni heard her cousin's sharp cry, "Who are you? Stop!"

Lenny quickly wiped her eyes with a tissue, turned around in horror, and saw a man running out, another man chased after him, and grabbed him from behind, "Bring your phone!"

"Why? Oh, I'm going to call the police...someone beat someone..."

"To shut up!"

Tang Yikun squinted his eyes and saw Marin twisting the arm of a middle-aged man in a plaid coat with one hand, and handing a mobile phone to a panting woman with the other hand. He knew that woman, she was the cousin Lenny he hated—— — her crappy agent.

"Look quickly..." Marin handed the snatched mobile phone to Lenny's cousin.

"Yes, he took the photo... Despicable..." the woman yelled in Jiangcheng Mandarin.

"Bastard." Marin slapped the man hard, very loudly.

The man howled, "How dare you hit me?!"

"Pa" answered him with another loud slap.

"Let's go, he'll take care of it." Seeing people crowding around, Tang Yikun pulled Lenny who had already put on sunglasses and left quickly.
