Original sin

In fact, Shen Chen still had another idea that he didn't express. If Xie Changqing had a problem, then where did the "employees" of the city research department go after Xie Changqing's death? Besides Xie Changqing, who else would they accept?

Also, is it really just a coincidence that Wang Chunyi wanted to do some market research in the first place?But Xie Changqing helped him in such a timely manner, and was able to use him to complete such a big move?

Shen Chen still had great doubts about Wang Chunyi's claim that he didn't know anything about it.

If Wang Chunyi had not given Xie Changqing this opportunity, this market research department would not have been established, nor would it have been placed under the music studio.The one who really doesn't know is Liu Bai, who is a pure creator who only knows how to bury his head in making his own music.

It's just that there is no basis for Wang Chunyi's suspicion, so Shen Shen didn't say anything.

Firstly, the relationship between Wang Lu and Wang Chunyi is unusual, and secondly, if there is no evidence, Shen Shen will not talk nonsense, even if he guesses, he must have some evidence to support it.

However, although Shen Chen felt that Liu Bai might be kept in the dark, he had a vague feeling that Tao Min knew more or less about it. Tao Min surrendered himself for Liu Bai until now, and Shen Chen still thinks it doesn't make sense, although he can't say it either. Know what's wrong.

Tao Min loves Liu Bai, Shen Shen believes that the relationship between her and Liu Bai may indeed die for Liu Bai, but at least she should have a real heart-to-heart talk with Liu Bai at that time, not before she has figured it out. Whether Liu Bai was the murderer who killed Ye Qingzhu hastily surrendered himself before, this is not justified.

Also, Liu Bai's behavior after Tao Min surrendered himself was quite intriguing. Liu Bai clearly knew that he was not the murderer and Tao Min took the blame for her, but why didn't he say it?Why let Tao Min do this?

Someone should be threatening Liu Bai at that time, who is threatening him?Duan Changhong or his amiable and respectable teacher Wang Chunyi?What weakness did they pinch on Liu Bai?

Shen Shen must clarify this question.

When Wang Lu left his office, Shen Shen hesitated for a while and called Liu Bai.

"Meet and talk?" Shen Shen asked.

"now?"

"It's all right."

"Then let's have a meal together at noon. There is a small restaurant called Chuanyu Renjia near my house."

Liu Bai did not refuse Shen Shen's request to meet him, and now there is less than an hour left before the meal.

Shen Chen drove to Liu Bai's house, and it took 10 to [-] minutes to drive there from the city bureau, but Shen Chen decided to go there ahead of time, as it was going to be the noon rush hour, and the road would be very congested at that time.

Half an hour later, Shen Shen's car stopped at the door of the small restaurant, and he walked in, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Bai had already arrived, and he was chatting with the boss about something.

"Hey, it's pretty quick." Liu Bai obviously didn't expect that Shen Chen would arrive almost half an hour earlier. He asked Shen to sit down. Because it is a small restaurant, there are no private rooms. They chose a table by the window. seat.

The boss was very discerning, seeing Liu Baiyue's person arrived, he naturally stopped chatting, but said to Liu Bai with a smile: "Then you talk, I'll prepare the dishes, do you want some wine at noon?" Shen Chen He waved his hand: "I still have work in the afternoon, so I won't drink alcohol. Give us two bottles of Wanglaoji."

"Yes, then wait a moment, the food will be ready in a while."

After the boss left, the cook Liu Bai looked at Shen Shen and said, "What can I do for you?"

Shen Shen took out a cigarette and handed it to Liu Bai, and lit one himself. Liu Bai did not refuse, but also lit the cigarette. After Tao Min left, he found that his addiction to smoking was getting bigger and bigger. He wanted to control it, but how could he control it? live.

"It's nothing, I just want to talk to you."

Shen Shen exhaled a round smoke ring, Liu Bai frowned: "Let's talk? There must be a direction, right?"

"Then let's talk about your two wives."

Listening to Shen Chen talking about his two wives, Liu Bai's face changed slightly.

Shen Shen said: "I know that some memories will be very painful, but people, you have to learn to get out of those pains and hardships, don't you? Besides, if you want to really end this kind of pain, you can only face it bravely."

"Liang Lan is actually a very nice person. I feel guilty about her." Liu Bai said.

Shen Chen smiled: "Because you used Luo Xiaoyu to harm her?"

Liu Bai raised his eyes and looked at Shen Shen: "That's right, but she was already obsessed with ghosts at that time, and she didn't learn much since she got involved with Ye Qingzhu. I persuaded her many times, but she just didn't listen. Then For a while, I thought she was so strange, really, how could she still look like the Liang Lan I knew back then? The conflict between us became more and more serious. At that time, Tao Min appeared. Compared with Liang Lan, Tao Min wanted to She is much more intellectual, she is very understanding, and she is very kind to me. At that time, Liang Lan only had herself in her heart, and she played as she pleased, and made as she pleased. I know that I don’t like Xie Changqing very much at all. Although we have cooperated, it is also based on the face of the teacher. In fact, I have always suffered from the cooperation with Xie Changqing. You also know that I don’t know how to operate, and he has the final say on everything. , and he doesn’t care about the business at all. He put it nicely and entrusts me with full responsibility for business matters. In fact, he keeps squeezing my creative achievements. He also studied music, but does he understand music? He knows what music is. Is it? When did he really regard music as art? In his view, music is just a means for him to earn profits."

The more Liu Bai spoke, the angrier he became. It could be seen that he had a deep grudge against Xie Changqing. It was no wonder that when Xie Changqing had an accident, he was regarded as the number one suspect.

"Although I am very dissatisfied with him, I never thought of treating him in that way." The way Liu Bai was referring to was to kill Xie Changqing.

But Shen Chen said: "But Xie Changqing died in the end."

"It has nothing to do with me." Liu Bai said.

"I know that the deaths of Ye Qingzhu and Xie Changqing have nothing to do with you, but Tao Min doesn't know what I know. She surrendered herself to take the blame for you. You should know this, right?"

Liu Bai's face was ashen, he nodded but did not speak.

Shen Shen sighed: "She obviously doesn't have to die."

Liu Bai lit another cigarette and puffed on.

Shen Shen said: "You just had to tell her that you were not the murderer who killed those two people. If the murderer was someone else, she would not be so stubborn to commit suicide, but you didn't do that. You acquiesced, and she finally chose for you. Sacrifice yourself to save you, let a woman who loves you die for you, or die unjustly, Liu Bai, I don't know what you think, but I know your heart must be very painful, right?"

"Someone is threatening you? Who is it? They should be with the people who killed Ye Qingzhu and Xie Changqing, right? The deaths of Xie Changqing and Ye Qingzhu were not simple. There is a big secret hidden behind them. What is this secret? "

Just as Liu Bai was about to say something, the boss brought out the food himself. Seeing that the faces of the two were not very good, the boss restrained his smile embarrassingly: "You take it easy, call me if you need anything." Then he left quickly.

Shen Chen picked up the bowl and chopsticks: "Eat, talk while eating."

Liu Bai didn't have any appetite, he shook his head: "I can't eat."

"There is always food to eat, otherwise there is no strength to fight them."

Liu Bai smiled wryly: "Fight? What should I use to fight with others?"

"You don't want to transfer the studio. Going to the studio with Wang Lu to find evidence at night shows that you have not surrendered in your bones. More importantly, you want to avenge Tao Min. Am I right?"

Liu Bai's eyes widened, but he was relieved thinking about the relationship between Shen Shen and Wang Lu.

Shen Chen said again: "Did you also think about calling me that night? I mean before you contacted Wang Lu."

Liu Bai nodded. He really wanted to call Shen Chen. He even wanted to call Shen Chen instead of Wang Lu. After all, Wang Lu was from the Wang family and she was Wang Chunyi's niece.

Liu Bai's heart is a little complicated, he can't tell what kind of feeling he feels about his teacher.

It is inseparable from Wang Chunyi's careful cultivation that he can have what he is today. Although he has a high musical talent and is a great horse, but even a thousand-mile horse needs Bole. Wang Chunyi is that Bole, who is brought by Wang Chunyi. He has truly entered the palace of music. If there is no Wang Chunyi, Liu Bai doesn't know what he would be like now.

He respects Wang Chunyi from the bottom of his heart. Wang Chunyi is both a teacher and a parent. Wang Chunyi has always taken care of him not only in his studies, but also in his work and life.

If he can't see through his teacher, he will see Wang Chunyi's words and deeds. In his view, Wang Chunyi is a Confucian, and he speaks and acts in a well-regulated manner, but he always feels that what he sees is Wang Chunyi. Chunyi is not real, just like Wang Chunyi has many faces, he only sees one side, it feels like a blind man feeling an elephant, or seeing a leopard through a tube.

At the beginning when the teacher asked him to cooperate with Xie Changqing, he was very unhappy. As an old classmate, he knew better than anyone what kind of person Xie Changqing was. It is admitted that Xie Changqing is an opportunist and very refined egoism, but such a person also has his strengths. Xie Changqing can turn music into a commodity and convert it into money.

There is nothing wrong with Liu Bai concentrating on his creation, but it takes money to support his creation. Do you need money for daily food and drink? No money, do you need money to set up a recording studio?Liu Bai's great ideals are abruptly killed by Wang Chunyi with reality.

Wang Chunyi is right, any ideal has to be supported by the economic foundation, and music is the same, and music burns more money than many other ideals.

So Liu Bai can only succumb, yes, in his words, he succumbs, he succumbs to reality and money.

He knows it very well. Let’s take a wind gathering as an example. He has traveled to several provinces in the Southwest. Those are all money, not to mention, the gas cost of the car alone costs tens of thousands of yuan, food and housing are not counted, and dealing with those folk artists must be somewhat courteous, and then there is food and housing , Everyday spending is money.

He can travel all over the world with money, but it is difficult to walk without money. He really understood this truth during the gathering. The gathering lasted seven months and cost a total of more than 16 yuan. Yes, this expense cannot be returned. Of course, the return mentioned here is converted into currency. As for his music, it must have been improved to a higher level.

Liu Bai is a pure artist, he truly regards music as his career, even his life.

It's just that he can't make music marketable, but Xie Changqing can make this point to the extreme and make it perfect.

He almost couldn't come back because he didn't have any money in the middle of the wind gathering, so he could only ask the teacher for help, but Wang Chunyi didn't send him the money directly, but asked him to find Xie Changqing. He can accept Xie Changqing.

In the end, he had no other choice, so he agreed to cooperate with Xie Changqing. Of course, he was not dead-headed, and he also knew the importance of money. At that time, he was in a relationship with Liang Lan, and naturally he needed to spend money. In the end, he compromised It's just talking if you don't bend your waist for five buckets of rice.

"Am I ridiculous? But this society is like this, laughing at the poor but not laughing at prostitutes, saying that the hero doesn't ask where he came from, as long as he can laugh to the end, who cares how he laughs, right? I love my art, but I After all, I also need to live, and I am willing to enjoy life. Besides, I am no worse than others, and I am even stronger than many people. Why should I be willing to live like a servant? You can call me vain, but I am also human. , a living person."

Listening to Liu Bai's words, Shen Chen didn't say anything, that's right, not to mention Liu Bai, even Shen Shen also hopes that the life of himself and his family can be better, everyone works hard, the purpose is not to change themselves How about the quality of life with your family?

"I agreed to cooperate, but I also made an agreement with him for three chapters. I am only responsible for the creation of music. As for other things in the studio, I don't care. Obviously, this is what he needs. He wishes that I don't care about anything. The studio is his own. People have the final say. Liang Lan wanted to help the studio very much before. She said that Xie Changqing did not own the studio alone. Let me be more careful. I said it. Anyway, you use a lot of money, so you worry so much. What do you do? I don’t know how to do business in a partnership, but I know that I am most afraid of being serious in everything. Liang Lan is narrow-minded, and likes to be serious in everything. If she really goes to the studio, she might have conflicts with Xie Changqing , that’s not what I want. If it’s so noisy all day, will my music creation still be lost? So I didn’t promise Liang Lan to go to the studio. I know she went to Xie Changqing. The ball was kicked to me. I knew that Xie Changqing didn't want her to go at all, so I let her die. Although she couldn't participate in the affairs of the studio, she would still go to the studio every now and then. Pointing and pointing made Xie Changqing very uncomfortable with her."

Liu Bai finished smoking, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, but didn't move at all, just kept talking, he knew that Shen Shen was interested in these.
