The box on the second floor is a little far away from the stage, but you can watch it on the big screen.

Qiao Ningyun also saw the face of the performer Lin Wenrui clearly.

Lin Wenrui is not white, but is a healthy and vigorous wheat color. His soft facial features are not as good in the photos, but in the real world, he has a charming charm.

The performance at this time was a solo, Lin Wenrui stood alone on the stage with only one microphone, lowered his head slightly to let the light and shadow flow on his face, and when the beat was up, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked forward, his eyes were already different from before.

Qiao Ningyun was surprised and looked down the stage.

The people in the audience are either tasting the food with wine glasses, or looking at the menu, or chatting and laughing with the same table.

But Lin Wenrui still sang seriously.

This song is called "Fantasy Day", which is taken from the musical "Alone", with a bit of jazz style, and expresses the fantasy of the protagonist in trouble with a casual tone. It sounds romantic, but the meaning behind it is a bit sad.

In this place where eating is the main thing and music is just for fun, most people just listen to the surface.

They will not understand the background of the story and the meaning of the song, and will not pay attention to Lin Wenrui's expressions and movements.Some people feel that the treble is noisy, and seeing Lin Wenrui's expression immersed in emotions, they may even feel dissatisfied.

"You don't even look at the guests, what's your attitude?"

Qiao Ningyun has seen the original drama and knows what the story is about.Lin Wenrui's performance has no problems on the musical stage, but it is a bit out of place here.

Qiao Ningyun looked at the resume again, and saw the part-time part no longer felt weird.

Lin Wenrui cherishes every performance, and he didn't want to write it like this because he didn't want the performance experience to be blank?In the eyes of others, it is different, but in my own eyes, it is already a proof of doing my best.

Qiao Ningyun frowned when he recalled the times when he was troubled by performances.

Gu Yiming stared at Qiao Ningyun beside him, and asked softly when he felt something was wrong, "What's wrong?"

"I think he's working hard."

"Do you want to tip him?"

"..."

Qiao Ningyun frowned even more, and fixedly looked at Gu Yiming.

Gu Yiming didn't quite understand what was wrong, but he still apologized, "I'm sorry, I said something wrong."

"No." Qiao Ningyun curled her lips, "It's just that I think differently from me, so there's no need to apologize. And tipping is really helpful...Huh? Someone below gave it."

Downstairs in the hall, there was a table of guests who put envelopes on the waiter's tray and whispered a few words.The waiter went to the front of the stage and handed it over after Lin Wenrui finished his performance.

Gu Yiming also saw it, "That's a song request."

"What can't be done?"

"Learn, or change."

Qiao Ningyun was surprised, "Do you want to learn a song immediately? It's so difficult, I definitely can't do it."

Gu Yiming smiled, and hugged his wife tightly to comfort his wife, "You have high demands on yourself, so you find it difficult. People here can only order pop songs, and don't ask the singers to sing well. It's fine if the singer doesn't go out of tune."

Qiao Ningyun thought about the experience of working part-time with friends in his previous life, and he probably understood, "Oh, I think it looks like an opera house here, and I thought customers would order fragments of operas or musicals."

"Happy Birthday is the one that gets the most clicks."

"……yes?"

As soon as Qiao Ningyun finished speaking, he heard the band below start playing music.

The tune is really "Happy Birthday".

At first it was the piano, then the violin was added, and finally the percussion part was all added, making the simple melody the gorgeous effect of a symphony.Just playing music is very catchy, and customers who order songs in the audience sing for their companions by themselves, no singers are needed at all.

So, Lin Wenrui stood quietly by the side, and when the music was over, he picked up the envelope and read aloud.

"Today is Ms. Zhou's birthday, and Mr. Wu specially prepared an affectionate confession..."

Qiao Ningyun was dumbfounded.

Good guy, now Lin Wenrui doesn't even have the chance to sing pop songs, so he can only recite.

Gu Yiming felt sorry for his wife inexplicably, and patted his head, "Wait for your favorite song?"

Qiao Ningyun sighed, "I like it, and he doesn't necessarily want to sing. Let me arrange an audition for him. He sent us his resume, indicating that he is still interested in this musical..."

Gu Yiming thought to himself that it might be a test of the sea, seeing Qiao Ningyun's sincere expression, he swallowed the words again.

Qiao Ningyun misunderstood, "I'm sorry, I'm always busy. Don't be angry, eat steak..."

Qiao Ningyun moved the pile of resumes to the side, cut a piece of steak and fed it to Gu Yiming.

Gu Yiming: It is indeed correct not to speak.

Then focus on eating.Gu Yiming didn't plan to let Qiao Ningyun feed him the whole time, and after a while, he returned to his daily routine of taking care of his wife.Qiao Ningyun also felt awkward feeding people, so she ate obediently and occasionally watched the performance downstairs.

Most of the later performances are prepared by the restaurant itself. There are pieces of musicals and difficult songs. Customers will choose small love songs with style when ordering songs. It is not as down-to-earth as Happy Birthday + Poetry Recitation, which is still worthy of musical appreciation. .

Qiao Ningyun looked at it and thought of a key point, "He sings so much, will it affect tomorrow's audition?"

Gu Yiming asked a key question, "Can he pass the audition with his normal performance?"

"Not necessarily. His voice is in good condition, but the level is only average."

"Then let it be."

"That's right... I can only help him here. This resume is in the hands of others, and it may have been screened out."

The crew wants to use newcomers, but they like students with excellent grades and excellent performance experience.

Lin Wenrui's grades are mediocre, and the only serious performance experience is the graduation performance that any student of the Conservatory of Music has, and because he is out of society, he can't arrange his time freely like a student, so it is really the last choice in the eyes of the crew.

Qiao Ningyun had to be responsible for the crew, all he could do for Lin Wenrui was arrange auditions.

Although he really hoped that Lin Wenrui would be chosen.

Gu Yiming suggested, "Ask him to come over and ask?"

"What about you?" Qiao Ningyun blinked, "We came out to eat to make up for you."

"Just sleep together tonight."

"..."

Qiao Ningyun glared at him.

Gu Yiming got used to it, and he could still find a step for himself with a smile, "Just kidding, let's eat."

Qiao Ningyun nodded, but while eating, she kept thinking about "sleeping together".

The reason for his mistake last time was that he asked for a kiss on his own initiative. It was wrong that Gu Yiming was almost impulsive, but it was also the result of his induction.He didn't ask for contact, if Gu Yiming can control it, it's no big deal to sleep together, right?

It's June now, if there's nothing to do, there will be thunder and rain.Qiao Ningyun sometimes slept so deeply that she couldn't notice it, and sometimes she was woken up abruptly by the sound of thunder. Every time, she would cry and crawl into bed, cover her voice until the sound was not so loud, and then come out to look for earplugs, but she was tired.

If Gu Yiming doesn't mess around, he still likes to have someone by his side to take care of him.

Qiao Ningyun hesitated, and glanced at Gu Yiming beside him.

Gu Yiming gave him a mouthful of salad, "Don't be in a daze, eat."

The movements are gentle, but the voice is stricter than the avatar is an order.

Qiao Ningyun lost all intention of negotiating in an instant. After eating the salad, he turned to eat his own.

After they finished their meal, they realized that the singer performing downstairs had changed, and Lin Wenrui didn't know where he had gone.

Qiao Ningyun was worried that there was something wrong with her voice, so she asked the foreman, "Where is the singer who performed at the beginning?"

"He's only been in half the shift lately."

"Oh, thanks."

Qiao Ningyun was puzzled, and turned around to discuss with Gu Yiming, "Where is he going in a hurry?"

Gu Yiming explained in detail, "I had another job. Last year, his father ran away due to debts. He could only repay the debts with his mother. When his mother entered the factory, he worked part-time in City A. He came to the small theater because he wanted to order songs and get a lot of tips. 9 Fewer people will order songs after ordering, and he will go to another high-end bar."

"……how do you know?"

"Secretary Chen checked and sent it to your phone."

Qiao Ningyun was puzzled, "Why do you want to check him?"

Gu Yiming smiled lightly and gritted his teeth while speaking.

"Because you've been watching him all night."

The next day, Gu Yiming was free and accompanied Qiao Ningyun to watch the audition.

Qiao Ningyun was very happy, "I'll ask them to arrange a seat."

Gu Yiming said: "Sometimes I have to deal with work, just sit under the stage."

Qiao Ningyun was stunned for a moment, and realized that Gu Yiming had made time to accompany him on purpose. He leaned over to hold his arm, and even raised his head and blinked his eyes to be cute, "Thank you for your hard work. I will go to find you when I am resting."

Gu Yiming was very useful, pinched Qiao Ningyun's face, "Okay."

When they arrived at the audition site, Gu Yiming greeted Lu Tianshuo, and sat in the back seat after listening to other people's self-introductions.

Qiao Ningyun turned his head and met Gu Yiming's eyes.Thinking that he might be stared at by Gu Yiming, he became nervous, straightened up and looked more serious than yesterday, and lowered his voice.

"Please begin."

The first audition was a student from the Conservatory of Music named Fang Junxu.Fang Junxu is good-looking and has a cheerful personality. When he came on stage, he said, "My name is Fang Junxu. I have good conduct and never do bad things."

Lu Tianshuo smiled, "Did you just say that after hearing about Yu Zihan?"

Fang Junxu said solemnly, "No, I was originally a good person with good conduct."

Generally, people who audition will be a little nervous, but Fang Junxu behaved naturally, and he also meant to talk about stand-up comedy.The judges and teachers all like such people, and they smiled, and the impression points in their hearts have been added.

As soon as Fang Junxu was proud, he added, "Of course I also heard about what happened yesterday, and I was quite scared before I came. I don't have to be afraid when I come here, because our crew has hired such a powerful bodyguard to sit in the guard."

The judge teacher followed Fang Junxu's guidance and looked over, startled.

The "bodyguard" Fang Junxu mentioned was Gu Yiming.

Fang Junxu's idea is very simple.The awesome characters all sat in the front, such as Professor Lu, the director and the judges, while Gu Yiming was sitting in the back even though he was wearing a suit with a strong aura. He looked like the bodyguard in the movie.

Fang Junxu recognized the boss of the capital as a bodyguard, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Lu Tianshuo helped smooth things over, "Oh, you are talking about Mr. Gu. He is indeed our 'bodyguard' to ensure the smooth operation of the crew."

Fang Junxu was dumbfounded, and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry Mr. Gu, I joked."

Gu Yiming originally wanted to be perfunctory, but when he saw Qiao Ningyun smiling, he curled his mouth again, "It's okay, it's quite funny."

When Gu Yiming looked at Qiao Ningyun, his brows and eyes would be softer.

In this way, everyone knew that Mr. Gu was not angry and relaxed.Seeing that the situation was stable, Lu Tianshuo cleared his throat and said to Fang Junxu on the stage, "Start when you are ready."

Fang Junxu's mental quality is good, and he tried to sing after a short adjustment.

Fang Junxu, like Yu Zihan, is a student with excellent grades.However, Fang Junxu is from the Department of Vocal Music, and the audition segment is from an opera. His skills are powerful and appealing, and his appeal is biased towards the beauty of music, rather than the emotional resonance aroused by the plot and characters of musicals.

In short, a skilled but emotionless singer.

Another weakness of Fang Junxu is body movements.When he sings up, he will do some habitual movements, but when he feels good, the audience feels confused: what is he doing?Why are you waving all of a sudden?

The judges saw Fang Junxu's weaknesses clearly, but paid more attention to his strengths.When the crew accepts newcomers, they don't expect to find actors who are good enough to go directly to the battle.Fang Junxu has strong skills and excellent voice conditions, and it is not a problem at all that he is not suitable for singing in musicals at the moment.

Lu Tianshuo nodded and released Fang Junxu's resume alone.

The other judges also thought it was good and added this person to the shortlist.

Qiao Ningyun also felt that Fang Junxu was a candidate worthy of consideration, but he was still a little entangled.

Would Lin Wenrui be more suitable?

Qiao Ningyun looked at the resume and found that Lin Wenrui was at the back, and felt bad all of a sudden.

Lin Wenrui's strength is not in skills, but skills on the audition stage are the most likely to be recognized by the judges.Lin Wenrui is behind Fang Junxu, who has strong skills, and he is likely to be compared.

The judges were dissatisfied with the resume before seeing Lin Wenrui's performance.

"It's been a year since you graduated?" the director complained, "Can't you find a job? Is this considered a newcomer?"

Lu Tianshuo also found that Lin Wenrui's acting experience was unsatisfactory, "He has very little experience, not as good as Fang Junxu, who is a junior."

Another judge also said, "How can you write a hot pot restaurant? Did he take the audition seriously?"

Qiao Ningyun helped to say good things, "Resume doesn't mean everything. I've seen his performance, and I think it's not bad. I'll find out after talking about specific things. Can I ask him to come up?"

With the lessons learned from Yu Zihan, others still have a kind of trust in Qiao Ningyun.

"That's right. Yu Zihan has a good resume but not a good person. Maybe it's the other way around?"

"Listen and see."

Lin Wenrui was finally allowed to come in, and bowed on the stage, "Hello teachers, I am No. 2 Lin Wenrui, graduated from the Conservatory of Music."

Lu Tianshuo asked, "What job will you do after graduation?"

"It's all part-time jobs related to music. I still hope that I can join the theater troupe, so I haven't considered other jobs."

"It means that you have been accepted by the troupe and you can start rehearsing right away?"

"Yes! You admitted me today, and I can complete the formalities tomorrow and come to you."

Lin Wenrui spoke eagerly, hoping that the judges could see his sincerity.

One of the judges still couldn't understand, "It's been a year, and you're still looking for a troupe, haven't you thought about changing your plan?"

Lin Wenrui was in a dilemma, "Thinking about it, but there is something wrong with my family. Most of the long-term jobs I can find have an internship period, the salary is very low, and I don't have the energy to find a part-time job after work. After much deliberation, I still think part-time jobs are more suitable. I."

Lu Tianshuo didn't expect this level, and frowned, "Is it difficult at home?"

"Oh! Don't worry, the rehearsal will not be delayed."

Lin Wenrui didn't take advantage of the situation and say how difficult it was at home, but stated that rehearsal was fine.

Lu Tianshuo also softened his heart, "Okay, it's good. What are you preparing for today?"

Lin Wenrui actually said, "I'm not prepared."

"Unprepared?!" The director exaggeratedly exclaimed, "You are teasing us!"

Lin Wenrui didn't change his face, and replied calmly: "No, I mean, I can sing any song you ask for."

Everyone present was stunned.

"Any song? Are you sure?"

"Sure. Ten minutes at most, and I'll be ready."

"Then... you try the solo excerpt from the musical? Xiao Zhang, give him the score."

"Thank you, teacher."

Lin Wenrui took it respectfully, looking exactly the same as when he met the customer's request in the restaurant yesterday.

Seeing this, Qiao Ningyun felt that Lin Wenrui still had a slight chance of winning.

Lin Wenrui is very smart and knows how to use his strengths.

The shortcoming of many audition personnel is their state. If they are in a good state, they are like hanging out. If they are not in a good state, they will disappear from everyone.Therefore, most of the selections prepared by them are the ones they are best at, and they are afraid that if there is something wrong, the crew will find out their shortcomings.

Lin Wenrui didn't have the conditions to be in good condition.If you can sing, you can sing, if you can't, you will never have another chance.Over time, Lin Wenrui's psychological quality and ability to accept are far superior to those of the current students, and he can even rely on this to fight.

The other judges were skeptical, but Qiao Ningyun was already looking forward to it.

After 10 minutes, Lin Wenrui said that he would stand back to the center of the stage, "I'm ready."

Lu Tianshuo nodded and signaled for the accompaniment to start.

Lin Wenrui made a bit of a wrong shot at first, but quickly circled it with a small hand dance.Later, I got used to the rhythm, made no mistakes, and could even sing without reading the lyrics.

Qiao Ningyun smiled and looked at the master next to him.

Lu Tianshuo nodded with a smile, while the other judges also showed surprised expressions.

Here's the first to sing excerpts from their musical.Lin Wenrui has a good understanding of emotions, and can even design small movements to match the performance. The skills are a little lacking, but the emotions are in place, so that they can imagine Lin Wenrui changing into costumes to play the role.

At the end of the singing, Lin Wenrui bowed deeply and said solemnly: "Thank you teachers. I will work harder next time."

"Ah?" Lu Tianshuo was helpless, "We haven't said the result yet."

Lin Wenrui sighed, "But my beat was wrong. Very few people make such a mistake, right?"

"It's rare for someone to cover it up. You've done a good job."

"Huh? Really, really?"

Lin Wenrui was so excited that he stuttered.

Lu Tianshuo smiled again, very lovingly, "Really. Can we ask you some questions?"

"of course can!"

"Have you failed any auditions in the past year?"

"No, there are successful ones. But...something at home."

"If we admit you, what will happen to your family?"

Lin Wenrui immediately said, "No more! I've already paid back the money! I can show you the bank statement..."

"No need," Lu Tianshuo waved his hand, "After three days, you can come back for a retest."

"Thank you teacher! I really appreciate it."

Lin Wenrui kept bowing, and adjusted his angle to bow to every judge.

Qiao Ningyun was embarrassed to accept this bow, and waved his hand to say no.

Lin Wenrui was stunned for a moment, "It's you? The VIP on the second floor of the small theater yesterday..."

"What small theater?" The others were immediately curious.

Qiao Ningyun dropped a pen worth 1 yuan last time, and he didn't want to mention the tens of thousands of yuan spent on a meal. "I happened to meet you yesterday. It's really destined, see you in three days."

Lin Wenrui understood the meaning, smiled and said, "Okay, goodbye."

Auditions continue.The next few people are not as good as Fang Junxu and Lin Wenrui, and there are still hip-pull types who are far behind.The judges felt their brains hurt and wanted to take a lunch break, so Lu Tianshuo followed everyone's wishes.

"Take a rest and continue in the afternoon."

Qiao Ningyun went to the back to look for Gu Yiming, "At noon... hey? Are you telling your fortune?"

Only then did Gu Yiming notice that his wife was coming, he was embarrassed, "No, I'm testing the name."

"what name?"

"Baby's name."

Qiao Ningyun frowned, "I thought you were busy with work. In fact, you are sitting in the back to play with your phone, right?"

Gu Yiming admitted calmly, "Yes. It's inconvenient to sit in the front and watch the show seriously."

"You don't have to come. Why don't you rest at home?"

"No, I can't see you."

"Humph."

"why are you mad?"

Gu Yiming was at a loss and asked directly.

Qiao Ningyun said bluntly, "I thought you were very busy, and it took you a lot of time to come over to accompany me. It turns out that you are not busy at all, and you still have time for fortune-telling... Wait, you are counting my name, What does it have to do with the baby?"

Gu Yiming actually showed his phone and said seriously, "It's the fate value of the name. The two of us have 98%."

Qiao Ningyun was dumbfounded, and touched Gu Yiming's forehead, "Are you okay? You don't look like a boss at all."

"What is the boss?"

"...Forget it, let's eat."

"Where to go?"

"Second Canteen? Take the path behind the theater and you'll be there."

They set off to the restaurant, turned into the alley and ran into Lin Wenrui who was squatting and eating bread.

Lin Wenrui was startled, and dropped the bread in his hand.

Qiao Ningyun helped pick it up and found that the bread was from the small theater restaurant yesterday.Bread is used to make soup, it is hard, it is difficult to eat it alone, no oil and water can not provide much nutrition.

"Thank you, teacher." Lin Wenrui took back the bread anyway, "Are you going over there? I'll make way."

Lin Wenrui held the bread in one hand and moved the suitcase to make way for them with the other.

Qiao Ningyun couldn't bear it, "Why are you holding the suitcase?"

"I want to move."

"Where are you going? We'll see you off."

"……not decided."

"Is it undecided, or there is nowhere to go?"

Qiao Ningyun saw Lin Wenrui's embarrassment and asked tentatively.

Lin Wenrui hesitated for a moment, then answered in a low voice, "There is nowhere to go."

Qiao Ningyun frowned.

Lin Wenrui quickly added, "This is temporary! I can settle down tomorrow, and it will definitely not affect the retest!"

Qiao Ningyun didn't poke it, and continued, "Well, I want to tell you about the retest. Let's go to the cafeteria and talk about it."

Lin Wenrui saw that Qiao Ningyun had saved enough face, and agreed, "Thank you teacher."

After going to the cafeteria, Qiao Ningyun asked Gu Yiming to buy an extra meal and put it in front of Lin Wenrui, "Talk while eating."

Lin Wenrui originally refused, but when he saw the food, he couldn't help but stare in his eyes and growl in his stomach.Losing all face, Lin Wenrui simply smashed the pot, picked up the chopsticks and said, "Thank you, I will eat."

Qiao Ningyun waited for Lin Wenrui to finish eating, and asked, "Didn't you say that the family matter has been resolved?"

"I lied. I was afraid of affecting the audition results."

"What's the situation now?"

"I refunded the rent and made up the vacancy with the deposit. There is no problem for this month."

"what's next?"

"……do not know."

Lin Wenrui lowered his head, wishing he could hide himself,

Qiao Ningyun seemed to have seen a friend who was down and helpless back then, and wanted to help.

But he knew that such a person had a strong sense of self-esteem.None of his friends would accept help for no reason, and Lin Wenrui was not familiar with him, so he would not be willing to accept a large sum of money.

Qiao Ningyun was thinking, how to find a reason for Lin Wenrui to accept help?

Gu Yiming suddenly said, "Qiao Qiao lacks a music assistant, would you like to be one?"

Qiao Ningyun was dumbfounded: Why didn't I know about this?

Lin Wenrui was also confused, "What assistant?"

"Clean the music room, you should know how to maintain musical instruments?"

"Yes! I've done it in the little theater too! I'll do it!"

Only then did Qiao Ningyun remember, and he continued, "That's right, our housekeeper doesn't know how to clean up musical instruments, so we don't dare to clean them up. It's just right for you to help."

Gu Yiming added, "There are two rooms at home, and the second bedroom can be used as a dormitory for you."

"Ah?" Qiao Ningyun couldn't figure it out, and stared at Gu Yiming, "Then you..."

Gu Yiming smiled and leaned closer to whisper.

"It's okay, let's sleep together."
