Chapter Eighty-Three: The Ruins
"What? Taking a leave of absence? Who approved it?" Yan Yi's voice rang out in the spacious office, "Still five days and she really thinks she's a big shot, doing whatever she wants?" The documents in her hand were slapped heavily onto the desktop! Fortunately, the soundproofing was good, otherwise the loud noise would have scared off many of the handsome men and beautiful women working diligently outside the door.
"Wang, I can see that Meng'er never had a dream of becoming a star, nor did she have the means to become one. She only joined because she was lost about her future!" Yuwen Feng tried to comfort Yan's furious emotions!
"Your meaning is that she was forced to come by me?" Yuwen Feng thought secretly: Isn't it? "Then did she say why she asked for such a long leave?" In the end, Yan sighed and asked.
"She didn't say..."
"Yuwen Feng, I'm starting to doubt your ability as an agent!" Yan narrowed his eyes, gazing at Yuwen Feng with a hint of danger.
What does this have to do with my ability? Can I not let her take a break, first because I owe her two promises, and second because she is your girlfriend. However, these words Yu Wenfeng could only mutter to himself, roughly scratching his hair. These two people are both his creditors, he can't afford to offend either of them.
"Alright, you go do your thing! Also, help me postpone this morning's meeting, I have something to take care of outside!" Yan Yi said, not waiting for Yu Wenfeng's response, and took his coat to head out. Yu Wenfeng could only resign himself to helping clean up the messy desk, then notify each department that the meeting was cancelled!
Under the stormy weather, Yan Yi drove his car to Meng Er's home, but he didn't know why he didn't have the courage to get out of the car and ring the doorbell! He had already called her phone, but it was transferred to voicemail. After a long time, he started the engine, wanting to leave. The gate opened, and he saw Zhang Jie, the housekeeper, walking out and knocking on his window, then handing him a note.
Open, Meng Er's beautiful handwriting is printed on it: I don't know if you will come to find me, but I still can't help giving this note to Zhang Jie and letting her give it to you! Five days later, at the premiere, I will definitely appear on the scene! Don't come looking for me! (The last sentence, perhaps it's just my one-sided wish!)
Far, far away from the city, on the seaside, Meng Er stepped on the soft and delicate mud sand, walking on the beach! Because it was a workday, there were no tourists by the sea! Her ponytail and woolen winter skirt were blown by the sea breeze, fluttering wildly! She came all the way here because of the beach here, and also because she saw news earlier that archaeologists had discovered an archaeological site of an unknown dynasty here, so Meng Er rushed over!
Left the beach and headed to the ruins! However, when I got there, Meng was stopped outside! Meng had no choice but to say that she was a university student because she particularly loved archaeology and was very interested in the changes of historical dynasties. But after a long speech, she still wasn't allowed to pass! Meng was anxious!
"Miss, come with me!" A spirited and vigorous old scholar, about sixty years old, with a divine aura and an air of learning, appeared before Meng Er!
"Hello Professor Zhong!" The guard greeted the old man respectfully. He just nodded and walked forward without waiting for Meng to catch up!
"Old man, isn't this archaeological site known for its dynasty?" Meng'er followed in his footsteps, grateful that he had brought her in while also asking anxiously.
"Who says I don't know about dynasties!" The old man sternly looked at Meng Er!
"Did you know?" Meng'er asked with a tone of despair.
"Was the site of a dynasty that had a great influence on you?" The old man looked at Meng Er with an inquiring gaze, making her feel like she was an ancient artifact waiting to be unearthed. Meng Er couldn't help but shiver and remained silent.
Finally, it was the old man who told Meng Er that the site was a Ming Dynasty imperial palace and not from an unknown dynasty. After hearing this, Meng Er's face showed obvious disappointment. The old man didn't understand why Meng Er looked disappointed, but he didn't bother her either, and instead joined the group, busy with his own affairs.
Meng'er was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses. Looking at the ancient artifacts that had been dug up, she still felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity!
Finally, Meng Er quietly left the archaeological site!
Walking on that ancient and fragrant small path, Dream, having been here for four days already, tomorrow is the day of return, Dream unexpectedly felt a little reluctant to leave. The local customs are simple and unsophisticated...
With a crash, Meng was knocked to the side, fortunately she managed to steady herself. Then she heard someone shouting behind her: "Thief! Thief! Catch the thief!" A clamor of shouts came over, making Meng withdraw her previous thoughts.
She glanced at the anxious woman behind, then looked at the man who had just collided with her and was now grabbing his bag and running wildly. Meng'er slowly looked around, finally falling on the half-drunk mineral water bottle in her hand. With force, she smashed it against the man's knee, "Bang!" The man knelt down on one knee. Meng'er almost let out a startled cry. If not for the man turning his head and glaring at Meng'er with a vicious look, then getting up and continuing to limp forward!
Meng'er looked at the people watching the play around her and couldn't help but sigh. She quickly caught up, kicked him to the ground with one foot, and the man struggled to get up, only to be thoroughly suppressed by Meng'er's heavy elbow! Meng'er faced his fierce gaze without fear, and pulled back the bag in his hand.
"Don't you know that meddling in other people's business can have serious consequences?" The man, feeling embarrassed after being knocked to the ground by a little girl, said viciously.
"Tell it to the police uncle!" Meng'er pointed at the two policemen walking towards them from a distance.
When the two policemen arrived, Meng Er explained what had happened and returned the bag to its owner before leaving the scene.
A city...
The premiere rehearsal started in full swing. However, no one saw the female lead appear from start to finish, and everyone was filled with doubts but didn't dare ask out loud. Because, the boss and Yuwen's agent were sitting at the bottom with a solemn face, who dared to ask?
"King, I'm saying what if, one day Dream doesn't ask for leave like this, but instead leaves without a word, how would you react?" Yuwen Feng looked at Yan's solemn and murderous expression, truly worried about the days after Dream returned.
"Reach the sky and search to the end!" If you care so much, why bring in an irrelevant Mo Yu? Isn't this self-inflicted trouble? Since it's related to Yuwen Feng's inner thoughts, how dare he speak out loud?! "So many useless words, have you finished your tasks? If something goes wrong tomorrow night, dig a hole and bury yourself!"
