At the beginning of the moon, the night in Tianze City has just been awakened. The windows of the houses in the old city are filled with warm light, and occasionally the laughter of children and the elderly can be heard.

The back door at the end of the alley was forcefully opened by a tall figure, and the inside was pitch black, only the cold iron utensils in the back kitchen reflected the light, revealing a burst of coolness.

Mu Qi's heart also felt cold, and he still shouted inside: "Ah Yuan—"

No response.

Mu Qi strode in, turned on the electric switch, and the glaring light instantly illuminated the entire back kitchen. He walked to the door of the lounge and called "A Yuan" again.

The door remained closed.

Mu Qi decisively turned the handle and pushed the door in. Inside was a minimalist bed, tables and chairs. Boys’ clothes and shoes were piled up on the tables and chairs. The effort and rigidity of folding the quilt.

"He's not in the shop..."

Mu Qi frowned and said this.

Tang Jiefan's anxious voice came from the watch on his wrist, "This kid, I don't know where he has gone! You don't know the place, so don't be fooled. I'm almost in the old city, wait until I come over!"

"You go directly to my house. We have made an appointment to meet at my house today, maybe he will go there." Mu Qi said in a calm tone.

At the same time, panicked footsteps suddenly came from behind, and Mu Qi followed the sound to look back, only to find that it was Xiaozhang whose collar was all crooked.

Xiaozhang's home is only two stops away from here. As soon as he heard that A Yuan had disappeared, he immediately put on his clothes and rushed here, "Boss! Afternoon...afternoon..."

He was out of breath and said: "A man came to look for Yuan in the afternoon, and Yuan told me to go and talk to him, and after a while, go directly to you, the boss, and tell me to close the store after finishing, and then Ah Yuan just left with that man! Yes, that's it, I thought he had gone looking for you a long time ago, why didn't he come home..."

"A man?" Mu Qi was startled, he had never heard of any man that Ah Yuan knew.

Tang Jiefan frowned on the phone, "Don't be fucking like squeezing toothpaste, speak carefully, what kind of man? What does he look like?"

Xiaozhang tried his best to recall, "It looks like an ordinary middle-aged person, dressed quite formally, wearing a suit and tie, oh yes, when Ah Yuan was about to leave with that man, I even pulled him back. Show me his ID, which company's artist manager is it, and what company is it?"

Mu Qi frowned and stared at him, "Think about it carefully."

Tang Jiefan jumped up angrily, "You don't tell such important information first, but now! And when Ah Yuan left with that man, you should report to the boss!"

"I thought that man looked quite upright, so I didn't think much about it." Xiaozhang obviously lacked confidence when he spoke. To be honest, he was also doing it for Ah Yuan's good, thinking that it would be good if Ah Yuan could have a good job. I didn't tell the boss.

He was shocked and slapped his hands, "I remember! It's called Xunlin Media, yes, Xun from Lavender, and Lin from Ganlin!"

Mu Qi was stunned. Because of his previous work, he had heard of Xunlin Media many times, which is a leading company in the media industry.

Tang Jiefan also froze, "Xunlin? What is Xunlin's artist manager looking for with Ah Yuan? Did he dig me in front of me?"

Since the other party is from a formal company, at least it can guarantee that Ah Yuan is not in personal danger now, Mu Qi calmed down a bit, and immediately asked: "Brother Fan, please ask your acquaintances in Xunlin, I want the artist's manager Contact information."

·

Four hours ago, the coffee shop two kilometers away from the gastronomy restaurant.

The male manager and A Yuan sat face to face, and the former smiled politely, "Are you sure you don't want to try the western restaurant I mentioned? Its pan-fried foie gras tastes very good, I often go there."

The young man in front of him became popular because of the video of eating cakes. It’s not like a show, but he really likes to eat. Before he came, he had prepared a strategy and planned to match his preferences. Unexpectedly, when he made this suggestion just now, he was rejected by the young man. .

Ah Yuan shook her head, "I have other things to do at night, so I can't talk for a long time."

There is also a master waiting to be fed at home.

He is not very interested in the western restaurant that the man mentioned. In his eyes, the food made by the owner is the best, and no one's rebuttal will be accepted.

"Okay, look at the menu, what do you want to drink?" The male manager was very patient.

Ah Yuan saw the word "Coke" on the menu at a glance, paused for two seconds, then shook her head, "I won't drink it."

He had no money with him, so he remembered it firmly this time.

Seeing this, the male manager waved to the waiter, and then pointed to the column that A Yuan was staring at just now, "Two cups of this, I'll go ice, how about you?"

Ah Yuan quickly waved her hands, "Thank you, I don't need to..."

The male manager smiled and said, "I took the initiative to delay your time today, so I should treat you to this drink."

Ah Yuan: "It's really unnecessary..."

The male manager covered his face with the menu, and whispered to him: "We will be kicked out if we don't consume. If you don't want to drink, just take a sip."

"Ah," Ah Yuan nodded, "Oh yes, I don't want ice cubes either."

"Two glasses of Coke and rum, right? Guest." The waiter confirmed.

The male manager nodded, and the corners of his lips curled down, thinking that Ah Yuan seemed to have a relatively simple mind, and he should be able to win this business soon.

Ah Yuan sounded a little confused, what is rum?It should be fine, it doesn't sound like wine, it's fine if it isn't.

"Since you have something to do in a while, let me make a long story short here, and I hope you don't find it abrupt." The male manager opened his briefcase and took out an A4 document

"You see, our company has evaluated your potential base for domestic entertainment, which meets our company's needs for our artists, and intends to invite you to join the big family of Xunlin Group." He made clear his identity and expressed his intention, but he Finding the young man in front of him with an indifferent expression, he thought about it for a while. It is known that there are many entertainment companies in the industry who are trying to get his idea, but Xun Lin, as a leader in the industry with high execution and vision, should be the fastest to act. Could it be that the young man already prefers another company in his heart?

The male manager coughed lightly, "Maybe you are not clear about the qualifications and background of Xunlin Group. Our company has not been established for a long time, but it has phenomenal amphibious stars like Lin Sheng and Su Zihan. It's quite deep, and the artist training plan is by no means Tang Jiefan's single-frequency training plan for idol traffic, you can read the second page, detailing salary, practice period, resource provision and other aspects..."

"You know our manager?" Ah Yuan heard a familiar name.

At this time, the waiter delivered the drinks they ordered.

The male manager smiled, "Of course."

Tang Jiefan was famous in the circle at the beginning, but the male manager always called him "senior" when he saw him.

He knew Tang Jiefan, but Tang Jiefan had never heard of him.

Before he came here, he had investigated that the restaurant Ah Yuan was currently in was owned by Tang Jiefan, but Tang Jiefan was no longer in their business circle, so it was not an obstacle.

He took a big gulp of Coca-Cola rum, the alcohol excited his nerves, and he began to speak unrestrainedly, "One thing to say, Tang Jiefan is one of the best in the industry in terms of maximizing the use of resources, but he just can't make it clear, like In our line of work, we should keep a little distance between ourselves and the artists, don’t we have a good relationship with pure colleagues, calling them brothers or something, and in the end, there are infighting among the artists under our hands, and even he suffers, isn’t this not worth the candle?”

Ah Yuan's heart rose, "What internal strife?"

The male manager felt dumbfounded when he thought of that, "Didn't you say that Mu..." He exchanged a glance with the young man in front of him who was staring at him, hurriedly stopped, and put on a professional smile, "Don't worry, if you If you follow us, Xunlin, such bad things will never happen, our corporate culture and management are very good..."

"What's wrong? What's the matter?" Yuan asked.

It's just that no matter how much he asks later, the man in front of him never mentions this matter, focusing on his own career in front of him, "Look, our company's training plan has been clearly explained to you, your intention?"

A Yuan held the cup and took a sip thoughtfully.

In the next moment, he had a bitter face and put down his glass. Why did this Coke taste different from the ones he had drunk before? It was so bitter, it didn't taste good at all.

The male manager tried to persuade me there, "Of course, I don't need you to give me an answer right now. This is my business card. You can go back and think about it. If you make a decision, just call me. Of course, if you contact me sooner , I can help you fight for more benefits as soon as possible..."

Ah Yuan interrupted him, "You showed me at the entrance of the restaurant just now, can you show me again..."

The male manager choked up, "Okay." Called out Weibo, swiped, and handed the phone to A Yuan.

It's just that Ah Yuan just took the phone, but found that his head was a little dizzy. He shook his head, got up from his seat, and said: "I'm going to the bathroom."

Then, without waiting for the male manager to reply, he ran away without a trace.

Ah Yuan entered the last cubicle of the men's restroom, holding on to the doorknob, almost unable to stand, and found that he was still clutching the business card that the man handed over to him just now, he threw the business card into the trash can without saying a word, He snorted and muttered in a low voice, "You actually said bad things about our manager."

"What's going on..." He thought that he was hungry after eating only snacks and no staple food for the past two days, and thought it would be good to rest for a while, but his head became heavier and heavier, and the things in front of him began to spin, which felt very familiar...

That Coke...

There is wine in it!

He clenched his teeth and tried to support himself, but there was a flash of light all over his body, and he instantly turned into a small white jade-like ginseng, lying on the ground and sleeping soundly.

The ginseng belly rises and falls with breathing.

Occasionally, it was accompanied by one or two inaudible snores, and the mouth smacked dumbly, dreaming of eating.

·

Four hours later, Gacha Restaurant.

"He's not with you?" Mu Qi's pupils darkened suddenly, and he walked out of the shop.

When Xiaozhang heard that A Yuan was not with the male manager, his face turned pale, and he shouted at Mu Qi's back: "Boss, mask! I forgot to wear the mask! I forgot the hat..."

In the receiver, the male agent seemed to be watching a movie, his voice was low and his tone was unpleasant, "He said he was going to the bathroom, but I waited and waited, but I didn't find anyone from him. Most likely he didn't want to talk to me. Find an excuse to cooperate and leave, what else can I do, tie him up and sign the contract?"

"Which coffee shop is it?" Mu Qi quickly started the car, and heard the address reported by the other party in the Bluetooth headset.

Fortunately, not far away.

On the phone, the male manager was still complaining that Ah Yuan was rude and didn't say hello when he left.

Mu Qi cut off the phone with a sullen face. Others may not know, but he knows Ah Yuan's character, and he would not do such a thing of leaving without saying a word.

He turned on the car's emergency flasher, and kept looking around the road while driving, but he couldn't see Ah Yuan.

Mu Qi has just recovered from a cold, and the hoarseness of his throat has not completely healed. At this moment, anxiety makes it start to burn again.

Finally, the car braked to a stop in front of the coffee shop.

A waiter stood at the door and was mopping the floor. He said to Mu Qi with a sorry face, "I'm sorry, customer, this shop is closed...Guest! Customer, please don't go in!"

Regardless of his obstruction, Mu Qi pushed open the door and stopped the boss who was rushing out from the bar, "Where is the bathroom?"

The female boss was relatively young, and was frightened by the sudden guest, "What are you doing? We're closed..." As she spoke, she saw Mu Qi's face, and her eyes widened.

"I asked where the bathroom is!" Mu Qi repeated with an impatient expression, his eyes scanning around the cafe.

The female boss pointed to the north stupidly, "There..."

Before the words finished, Mu Qi had already strode towards the bathroom.

At the door of the men's bathroom, Mu Qi patted on the door and shouted, "Ah Yuan—"

The waiters gathered outside, chatting softly, "Who is he looking for?" "There is no one in the toilet, I'm sure, I went there just now." "Why do you think this person looks familiar?"

……

There was no response from the toilet.

Mu Qi pursed his lips, and pushed open one compartment after another, the inside was empty, no, nothing, no one inside.

Later, he already felt a little powerless.

"Yuan..."

Where the hell are you.

Mu Qi thumped the door of the last compartment annoyedly, and took two steps to leave, when

"Hoo-hoo-ho-"

Intermittent grunts came from inside, whispering imperceptibly, "Master, delicious food, and..."

Mu Qi was shocked, and then stretched out his hand to slowly open the door, "Ah Yuan? Are you inside?"

When he pushed the door halfway, he was blocked by something and looked down.

It's double aj, and the color scheme is familiar to him.

He withdrew his hand like an electric shock, then turned sideways into the compartment, and found a huddled figure leaning against the side baffle, the corners of his lips curled up, sleeping soundly.

Mu Qi was speechless for a moment, and his heart sank.

He squatted down and poked Ah Yuan's face with his finger.

Ah Yuan frowned slightly, waved his hands away in annoyance, turned his head in the other direction and continued to sleep.

Mu Qi sighed softly, stretched out his hand to pinch Ah Yuan's left cheek, "I still can't get up..."

"Hmm." Ah Yuan was in pain, and reluctantly woke up from the food dream, his eyelashes trembled and his eyelids gradually opened, and Mu Qi's slightly worried and helpless face came into his sight.

His eyes sparkled instantly, "Master."

Too excited and involved her face, Ah Yuan suddenly let out a "hiss—"

"Don't move," Mu Qi pressed his shoulders, and found a bulge on his forehead, so he took a closer look.

Ah Yuan finally woke up completely from the pain, and the memory of the day was instantly awakened.

He had a bitter face, "I was a little dizzy just now, I accidentally bumped into it."

I muttered in my heart that fortunately, at the moment the master called him, although he was still in a dream, he had a feeling in his heart and changed back in time, otherwise he would be exposed.

Mu Qi looked down at him, the light in the bathroom was dim, and he couldn't see his emotions clearly.

Ah Yuan grabbed his clothes, "Master, today..."

Mu Qi stood up, "Let's go back first." He stretched out his hand to help Ah Yuan up, "Can I go?"

"I can, I can." Because of the bump on his forehead, Ah Yuan's head was still a little dizzy, and he said that he could walk, but what he walked was not in a straight line, but wobbled and wobbled.

Mu Qi hurriedly grabbed him who was running amok, and after a moment of silence, he squatted down in front of Ah Yuan, showing his back to him.

Ah Yuan tilted her head, "Master?"

Mu Qi didn't turn his head back, "Come on, the coffee shop is closing."

Ah Yuan immediately "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Mu Qi felt the soft hair from his ear temples, wrapped his wrists around Ah Yuan's knees, and slowly stood up, "Hold tight."

Ah Yuan nestled on Muqi's back like a koala.

In the coffee shop, the waiter and the female boss were all dumbfounded, "There... is there really someone in there?" "I'll go..." "This person is not that or something..."

Mu Qi glanced at them, turned his head, and said softly to Ah Yuan, "bury your head well."

A Yuan obediently buried her head in Mu Qi's neck, and the latter felt a warm breath on his neck, which was a little itchy.

Mu Qi nodded apologetically to the female boss and the others, and then walked out of the coffee shop with a calm expression.

Ah Yuan looked up at the hazy moon, thinking that she had been in a coma for so long.

It was a bit cold at night, Ah Yuan subconsciously hugged her even tighter, her cheek rubbed against Mu Qi's shoulder, her legs swayed wildly, "Master, you are a bit skinny, your bones hurt me a little, can you do it for me in the future?" , eat a little bit more."

Mu Qi: "..."

still pick.

He shifted his gaze to the haystack next to him, and gestured to throw A Yuan into it.

A Yuan was so frightened that she quickly grabbed his neck tightly and found a step for herself, "It's okay, just a small problem, I'll eat more, and it won't hurt if I get fatter."

The corner of Mu Qi's mouth curved slightly, he opened the door straight, put him in the co-pilot, and fastened his seat belt.

The car is fierce when it comes, and the journey back is long when it goes.
