Zero-sum game

His first reaction was, it's over, this fat job is going to be gone.

In fact, Boss Chen has two criteria for selecting candidates. The first is good looks, and the second is talent. After all, the rules of performance are much stricter than the selection of candidates.

Xiang Xiang stipulates that the performers are not allowed to speak during the performance, and no matter what the guests are saying, they must pretend that they did not hear them.What you hear and see in the teahouse, you can't say a word to the outside world, and it is also strictly forbidden for performers to meet with guests in private.

But then Shen Yan thought about it the other way around, as long as he didn't tell the person in front of him, no one would know about it, right?

What's more, he really never remembered the face of the customer, so he had no impression of the man in the suit.

The man in the suit saw him flustered, smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I won't tell Boss Chen."

Shen Yan forced a smile and said, "Thank you."

His face looked very soft under the dim light of the box, and the two dimples on both sides of his cheeks were also extraordinarily sweet and moving.With downcast eyes and a smile, there is a kind of indistinguishable beauty.

The man in the suit stared blankly, then casually pushed a plate of biscuits in front of him, and said, "This wine is easy to drink, but it's actually very strong, why don't you eat some biscuits."

Shen Yan nodded, picked it up and ate a piece without thinking too much.It's just that although this cookie is chocolate-flavored, it looks like it's been spoiled. It has a strange smell. Shen Yan managed to eat two pieces before putting it down.

Zhou Xingchuan chatted with a judge sitting next to him about a drama that was being rehearsed at the Provincial Theater recently. The other party sincerely suggested that he develop into drama in the future because it has great potential.

He also said that he was looking for a role for his play, and asked Zhou Xingchuan if he was interested in trying the play.

The other party announced his name, and Zhou Xingchuan knew that the person in front of him was Cai Ying, a well-known screenwriter in the drama world.

Zhou Xingchuan never expected that he could have such an in-depth chat with a leading figure in the industry on such a sensual occasion, and he could even get an invitation to audition.

I was so apprehensive before I came here, but I didn't expect that this would really be an opportunity to communicate with the seniors. It's not a Hongmen Banquet, it's just a nobleman coming to help.

Zhou Xingchuan immediately agreed, "I don't know what character it is?"

"You can play the older brother of the protagonist's brothers." Cai Ying took out his mobile phone and showed Zhou Xingchuan the script outline, "It's hard to write a modern drama, and all the actors the director found for me are middle-aged actors, and I want two too." Little meat."

Zhou Xingchuan was amused by Cai Ying. He didn't expect the famous Cai Ying to be so talkative, so he took the opportunity to add WeChat with him. However, during the conversation, Zhou Xingchuan did not forget the purpose of this trip, and asked: "Mr. Cai, look at our "Daydream", is the theater tour relatively stable?"

Cai Ying shook his head dissatisfied when he heard the words, and said, "It's hard to say, the joint entrance exam of the School of Drama this year is ridiculous, but our judges can't make decisions anymore, and we all listen to the leaders."

Zhou Xingchuan was a little disappointed, but he also believed that Cai Ying hadn't lied. After all, there was no need to hide it from a student who didn't graduate.

Zhou Xingchuan chatted enthusiastically with Cai Ying, and after a while, he realized that the surrounding was very quiet. It turned out that Shen Yan had already gone out at some point. He thought he was going to the bathroom, so he didn't care.

Obviously only drank a couple of small sips of wine, but Shen Yan seemed to be drunk, and his head began to ache.The dull pain spread from the depths of his brain, making him feel chest tight and nauseous, so he got up and went to the bathroom in a hurry.

He wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit anything, but his vision had already started to blur. He stood up slowly while leaning on the wall, his limbs seemed to be not his own, floating in the air.

Shen Yan washed his face, raised his head but did not become sober, his eyes were blurred by the water, he stretched out his hand to take out the toilet paper next to him, but before he could reach it, someone had already taken it out and handed it to him superior.

"Thank you, thank you..."

"You're welcome, Mr. Shen, are you uncomfortable?"

Shen Yan was startled, only to realize that the person standing beside him was none other than the man in the suit just now.

"No, no..." Shen Yan turned around and wanted to leave, but just two steps away, he felt dizzy, his feet went limp, and he almost knelt on the ground.

The man in the suit supported him and said, "Mr. Shen, be careful."

Shen Yan's intuition is not right, his state is not right, this man's attitude is not right, and the distance he approaches is not right...

There is still a sliver of consciousness in the brain, but the limbs of the body no longer obey his orders.

"...to be so sensitive to the nature of the medicine..." the man in the suit secretly said.

"No, I'm sorry...can you call for me to come with me..."

"Mr. Shen, you don't look very well. Let me take you to rest." The man in the suit said.

He supported Shen Yan to go out. Shen Yan was already a little thin, so he was easily dragged away by him. He wanted to break free but couldn't use the strength.

"No need...my friend is still..."

Before finishing speaking, he lost consciousness.

Seeing that Shen Yan hadn't come back for a long time, Zhou Xingchuan was about to go to the bathroom, when a man in a suit who had been sitting on the sofa just now opened the door and came in.

The man in the suit walked over to pick up Shen Yan's bag, and said to everyone: "I'm just about to leave, and when I see this kid is drunk, I'll take him along."

Is Shen Yan drunk?And also take this stranger's car away?Zhou Xingchuan felt strange.

Before he could open his mouth, someone asked: "Old He, why are you so kind today and sent someone back."

"I know him," said the man in a suit called Lao He, "I met him at Boss Chen's teahouse before."

When they heard about Boss Chen's teahouse, everyone understood and didn't say anything.

He knows Shen Yan?Who is Boss Chen?Zhou Xingchuan just felt strange.

Lao He was holding Shen Yan's bag and was about to leave, Zhou Xingchuan also followed, went to the door of the box and stopped him, saying: "Hello, I came with Shen Yan, I'll take him back, don't bother .”

Old He obviously hesitated, "This...he is already in my car, you can go back and play first, I will drop by."

The other party's hesitation only made Zhou Xingchuan feel even more strange, "Shen Yan will probably feel sick if he drinks too much, don't dirty your car."

"It's okay, it's a small matter, I'll see him off, I'll see him off." Seeing Zhou Xingchuan's persistence, Old He became more and more nervous.

It wasn't the first time he did this kind of thing, but it was the first time he took someone away so blatantly, and he was a little flustered.The boss of the bureau today told him to find the boy named Shen Yan among the people who came, and then let him eat the biscuits on the table, and then send the person to the designated place.As long as it is delivered, I will give him 3 yuan, without delay, and settle it face to face, which is more than the previous few times.

He had a hunch that he wasn't doing anything good, but he earned [-] yuan in one night, which was his half-year salary as a driver.Besides, it's a boy every time, although they are all pretty good-looking, but there shouldn't be any disadvantages...

In fact, he vaguely guessed something in his heart, but he didn't want to admit it.

"Then where is your car?" Zhou Xingchuan said, "Can you take me back by the way? I can take care of him on the way."

"I..." Lao He was annoyed by Zhou Xingchuan's blocking, and he didn't take this student seriously in his heart, "Oh! Why do you care so much!"

He turned around and wanted to leave directly, but Zhou Xingchuan clamped his shoulders and pressed him against the wall with his backhand. Zhou Xingchuan's face suddenly became ugly, and he said coldly: "Where is Shen Yanren? Where did he get it?!"

He knew that things might not be that simple, but he didn't expect that it was aimed at Shen Yan.

"If you don't say anything," he took out his phone, "I'll call the police now."

Tian Xin sat on the side, watching Shen Yan and Zhou Xingchuan went out one after another, and didn't come back for a long time, so he said to his acquaintances: "Why haven't my two juniors come back yet, I'll go out and have a look."

An accompanying singer pulled her back and smiled ambiguously, "Oh, it's okay, they are all Boss Chen knows."

"Who is this Boss Chen? I always hear you mentioning it." Tian Xin was really puzzled. Since the man in the suit mentioned the so-called Boss Chen just now, everyone's attitudes are a little inexplicable.

"You don't know?" the female accompanist whispered, "I heard that he is a famous pimp who specializes in serving the big shots."

Tian Xin was startled, thinking she heard it wrong, "What did you say?"

How could Shen Yan know this kind of person?

"I'm not very clear. I heard people say that the 'teachers' performing at her place are specially for those big bosses." The friend sitting next to her added mysteriously, "Your junior, probably That's right, she looks so pretty."

Tian Xin wanted to deny it, but she didn't say it. After all, she didn't know Shen Yan as well as she imagined.What if people seem to be harmless to humans and animals, but in fact there is another side?Just like the matter of Boss Chen, she never knew that Shen Yan knew this person.

When Shen Yan opened his eyes, his head was still hurting, and he barely sat up, only to realize that he was in a hotel room.It is a very ordinary decoration, with only a ring of dim yellow spotlights on the top.

His feet were still soft, and he still remembered talking to the man in the suit before he lost consciousness.

He must have been imprisoned by something unknowingly...

He went to the door of the room and wanted to go out, but the door was locked, and he couldn't open it and couldn't find the room card from inside.He touched his pocket, there was nothing in it, he came out of the box in a hurry, the phone was still in the bag.When he tried to call the landline in the room, there was always a busy signal on the other end.

Zhou Xingchuan and Tian Xin should have sensed something was wrong, so come and find yourself...

Shen Yan walked to the window and barely pushed open the window glass that could be opened. The cold wind blowing in made him feel a little more awake.He was on a very high floor, looking down at the buildings and driveway below, he found that he was still in the hotel where the KTV was.

This tm is illegal imprisonment.Shen Yan cursed inwardly.

He suddenly remembered something he heard when he was ringing.

A girl playing the guzheng secretly met the guests outside the teahouse. After being found out by Boss Chen, she was not allowed to come again.But a rumor circulated among the performers that the girl did not meet the guests voluntarily.The first time she was secretly drugged, not only was she molested, but she was also photographed and videotaped. She dared not call the police. Later, the other party threatened her to go out many times, and would give her some "favor fees" each time.

I don't know what happened later, the performers came and went from different people, so I didn't hear any more rumors about that girl.

Recalling this incident, he suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body—isn't this what happened to him now?

At this time, he didn't know where it came from, and he stood up and began to rummage in the room. Sure enough, he found the camera in a cabinet under the bed, but there was no memory card in it.

He was a little disappointed, but then a socket on the wall caught his attention, which seemed to protrude a little bit compared to the normal plugboard.He stretched out his hand and pulled it hard, and it was pulled out by him.There is a mini camera attached to the back of the board, and the transmitter behind it is still on, and it seems to be working all the time.

It was only when he researched that it was useless even if he found it.Because the transmitter is always working, this camera does not have a memory card.

With such care and attention, it seems he must not be the first person to be trapped in this room.

Shen Yan couldn't help being a little frustrated, and was looking for any clues to get out, when there was a movement at the door.

It seems that someone is entering a code to open the door.
