Reborn, I became a trendsetter in the music industry
Chapter 180 Request for mercy
"Where is Dempsey now?" Pei Bochuan asked.
Liu Jie responded quickly, his tone full of respect: "The boss is busy following up on the latest developments. I guess he is either at the police station or coordinating with the Royal Orchestra."
Hearing this, Pei Bochuan picked up the phone without hesitation, touched the screen with his fingertips, and dialed Dempsey's number.
"Where are you now?" Pei Bochuan asked in a deep voice after the call was connected.
"Police station." Demps answered concisely.
"I am going now."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Demps responded briefly again.
After hanging up the phone, Pei Bochuan turned to Liu Jie and ordered: "Prepare the car and go to the police station."
"Okay, Brother Pei!" Liu Jie responded and took action quickly.
Before leaving, Pei Bochuan called Ji Xingyi.
After the call was connected, he said in a gentle voice: "Xiao Yi, I have something to take care of. I may be back in the afternoon. If you want to leave, tell the person in the ward and he will make proper arrangements for you."
"Okay, be careful on your way. I'll stay with Xiaoyuan until you come back."
"Thank you." Pei Bochuan responded softly. After hanging up the phone, he hurried away with Liu Jie.
The moment Ji Xingyi hung up the phone, Pei Yuanyuan quickly thought of a thought.
After thinking about it, she smiled slyly and asked Ji Xingyi a question.
"Idol, how well do you know my brother? What do you think of him?"
After Pei Yuanyuan asked, her eyes were full of anticipation as she looked at Ji Xingyi.
Ji Xingyi replied to Lin Xincheng's message without hesitation: "Your brother is an outstanding person. Both his ability and character are admirable."
Seeing this, Pei Yuanyuan smiled even more deeply and further probed: "So, according to your standards, does my brother meet the image of your ideal boyfriend?"
Ji Xingyi was surprised by this sudden question and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ah!"
She had obviously not expected this turn of conversation.
Ren Jingyun, who was standing by, couldn't help but touch his nose when he saw this, with a faint smile on his face and a hint of gossip in his eyes.
Pei Yuanyuan asked directly: "Idol, please think carefully about it. What do you think if my brother becomes your boyfriend?"
Ji Xingyi shook her head in embarrassment and explained softly: "Well, Xiaoyuan, your brother is indeed very good, but between him and me... it's really not suitable."
"When it comes to relationships, I can't accept it just because the other person is good enough. We lack that kind of... well, tacit understanding and feeling."
Pei Yuanyuan did not intend to give up easily, she listed a series of Pei Bochuan's advantages.
"What's inappropriate about that? My brother is handsome, has good character, is successful in his career, and has a strong sense of responsibility."
"Besides, our family has always upheld the tradition of loving men and doting on their wives. He is definitely a good man worthy of trust."
"Not to mention that you are in the same industry, with the same professional background and interests. Isn't this a match made in heaven?"
Ji Xingyi smiled bitterly in her heart after hearing this. She naturally understood Pei Yuanyuan's good intentions.
But since I have a system, my future path is destined to be different from that of ordinary people. How can I fall in love as easily as ordinary people?
She sighed and said frankly: "Xiaoyuan, I understand your good intentions, but I really think we are not suitable."
Although she has some affection for Pei Bochuan, perhaps she is more suited to a fate of living alone until the end of her life.
Then she changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, your hand needs to be healed now. Are you considering returning to Middle-earth?"
Pei Yuanyuan nodded gently: "Yes, I want to go back and recuperate."
"It's nice here, but I'd be bored if I can't do anything for a year. I can go back home with my family and see you, my idol, more often."
At this time, Xiao Yi, who had been waiting at the door, pushed the door open politely.
His voice was gentle and respectful: "Xiaoyuan, your band members have come to the hospital and want to come up to visit you. Do you want them to come up?"
Pei Yuanyuan frowned slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes.
"Invite them in."
"Sister Xiao Yi, please do me a favor and press the blue button next to it. The bed will automatically adjust its angle so that I can sit up more conveniently."
Ji Xingyi followed Pei Yuanyuan's instructions and gently pressed the blue button next to the bed.
With a slight mechanical sound, the bed slowly rose up and Pei Yuanyuan also sat up.
Ji Xingyi tidied up the quilt for her and asked, "Do you want us to step aside for a while?"
Pei Yuanyuan shook her head: "No need."
Ren Jingyun stood up from the sofa and walked to Ji Xingyi's side.
Soon, band leader Stephen and several band members walked into the ward holding flowers and fruit baskets.
Their faces were filled with concern and apology.
I wasn't surprised to see other people in the ward.
But everyone felt that the woman sitting next to the bed looked very familiar.
Stephen spoke first, his tone full of sincerity: "Yuan, how do you feel now? We are all very worried about you."
Pei Yuanyuan sighed softly and answered simply: "It hurts, and it will take another year to recover."
Stephen looked guilty. "I'm really sorry that you suffered such misfortune. Leila and Cathy have paid the price for their actions."
Pei Yuanyuan smiled slightly and did not answer.
He looked at the others and said gratefully, "Thank you for coming to see me."
"Don't worry about my situation. The performance will be in two days. You should go back and prepare well. Don't let me affect the performance."
As soon as these words came out, the members present immediately looked embarrassed.
Stephen coughed lightly and explained, "Yuan, you may not know yet, because of this incident, the performance has been forced to be cancelled."
Pei Yuanyuan could guess why, so she said with a little surprise: "Oh? That's such a pity."
Seeing that she really seemed to be unaware, Stephen made a request in a pleading tone: “Xiaoyuan, you have been in the orchestra for more than three years. I want to ask you for a favor.”
"Can you ask Mr. Demps to let the performance go on? After all, many people have put in so much effort and hard work for this day."
Seeing her expression slightly tense, he continued, "When you fully recover and come back, you will still be the principal pianist of our orchestra."
The other members also echoed, saying earnestly: "Yes, Yuan, please help us, we really don't want to miss this opportunity."
"Yuan, if you have the ability, please ask Mr. Demps to show some mercy. We have really paid too much for this performance."
Pei Yuanyuan calmed down and shook her head: "I'm sorry, I can't do it. Mr. Demps is not related to me. He is just entrusted by my brother to take care of me."
Stephen was anxious, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice: “Yuan, Mr. Demps is also familiar with you.”
"The orchestra lost the opportunity to perform in front of the royal family because of your incident. Can't you help us out for the sake of our years of working together?"
Pei Yuanyuan didn't even look at him and refused directly: "I'm sorry, I really can't do it."
"Yuan, you are so heartless. We really needed this opportunity, but we missed it because of you. Don't you take responsibility?"
"Yeah, it obviously has nothing to do with us. Why are you taking your anger out on us?"
"Yuan, please help me, I have waited for this day for too long!"
Pei Yuanyuan looked at their selfish faces and a bitter and disappointed smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Then, her voice became cold and resolute: "At that time, I clearly saw you not far away."
"You witnessed the beginning of the dispute, and even when we got into a physical fight, you just watched indifferently. Have you ever thought that I also poured countless efforts into this performance?"
She stared at the leader Stephen and sneered, "Leader, don't tell me you really didn't hear our argument."
He glanced at everyone indifferently and said, "The distance between the rehearsal room and the lounge is only a dozen meters."
"All of you chose to stand aside and let the situation deteriorate. Now you ask me to save your performance? Is this fair to me?!"
Ji Xingyi and Ren Jingyun didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Ji Xingyi stood up and shouted coldly: "Please go back. What she needs now is rest, not your moral blackmail."
Ren Jingyun also had a cold expression on his face: "Yes, please leave and don't disturb the patient's rest. Mr. Xiao, please see you off!"
Xiao Yi walked in at the right time and motioned to them to leave.
Stephen and others still refused to give up and begged desperately.
"Yuan, you can't be so heartless! This performance means a lot to us, we are willing to do anything to make it up to you!"
Seeing that Pei Yuanyuan was not in a good state, Ji Xingyi said angrily: "She has no obligation to pay for your mistakes! The moment you chose to be indifferent, you have lost the qualifications to ask for her help! Mr. Xiao, please send them away as soon as possible!"
At this time, Stephen paid close attention to Ji Xingyi. He widened his eyes in surprise and blurted out, "You are... the talented music producer in Zhongzhou, Mr. Ji?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the room, and others also cast incredulous looks at him.
