From Linda's reaction, Meng Nianchu knew that no matter what Zhang Fan said, Linda would definitely return to the venue on her own.
Or rather, after all her commotion and fuss, wasn't she just waiting for Zhang Fan to give her an excuse to save face?
Unfortunately, she miscalculated. Zhang Fan was not the kind of person who would betray his self - esteem. If Linda really asked him to do something despicable, even if all the investors withdrew their funds, Zhang Fan would never yield.
After that, Meng Nianchu and Zhang Fan didn't waste any more time on Linda. They said everything they wanted to say and then got up and left.
Although they had given Linda a good scolding and felt relieved, on the way back, Zhang Fan had already considered all the countermeasures in case Linda really didn't come back and the investors withdrew their funds.
He wracked his brains to come up with a bunch of ideas, but none of them were used.
Just as Meng Nianchu had guessed, Linda was overjoyed and returned to the venue, dressed to the nines.
This also relieved Zhang Fan.
All the tutors were present. With the professional training of a doctor, Mu Feng's leg had recovered extremely quickly. In less than half a month, he was fully recovered.
In order to catch up with the shooting schedule as soon as possible, on the first day Linda returned to the venue, Zhang Fan announced the rules of the third - round competition, which was to test the original creativity of all the trainees.
A few hot - blooded young men were okay at singing and dancing, but writing songs and arranging music was a real challenge for them.
Each of them had a long face, unable to come up with a single line of lyrics.
Zhang Fan understood that they might need a little more time for this competition, so the time was extended. The competition would be held ten days later.
Although the time was extended, writing songs, arranging music, finding a dance teacher to choreograph, and then practicing the dance, the difficulty was still very high.
Moreover, the number of trainees to be eliminated in this competition was directly increased to two.
The pressure was overwhelming.
As a tutor, Meng Nianchu was the backbone of her trainees during this period. In order to give them enough confidence, she also fully cooperated and created with them.
Working with like - minded people was extremely pleasant, especially when they were brainstorming. The feeling of suddenly getting an inspiration was simply addictive.
Meng Nianchu and her trainees were almost crazy. Sometimes they could discuss for a whole day without even thinking about eating.
At this time, Mu Junze was dealing with the project of the newly - bought land. He really didn't have the energy to spare for Meng Nianchu. Besides reminding her to eat on time every noon, he couldn't do anything else.
So when Meng Nianchu's stomach problem recurred due to irregular eating patterns for a long time, Mu Junze had no idea about it.
One day, her stomach was hurting badly. The trainees had gone out of the venue to look for songs, and there was no one around to buy medicine for her. Meng Nianchu had no choice but to clench her back teeth and endure the pain as she walked to the pharmacy downstairs.
After buying the stomach medicine and coming out of the pharmacy, she saw a group of familiar faces in front of her. Before she could run away, a man among them grabbed her, covered her mouth, and forcibly pulled her into the car.
The man might have had some kind of drug in his hand. Meng Nianchu's mind was in a mess, but she still had a little consciousness.
After a bumpy ride, she didn't know how long it took before the car stopped.
"Boss, this woman is still asleep!"
"Pour cold water on her to wake her up!"
Immediately, a large basin of cold water was poured on Meng Nianchu.
The bone - chilling cold made Meng Nianchu suddenly open her eyes. Squinting at the people who had tied her up, she said coldly, "You dare to kidnap me in broad daylight. Mr. Jin Hui has really become bolder recently."
She tried to struggle against the ropes.
Jin Hui, who was sitting in front of her with his legs crossed, noticed her movement and showed a lecherous look. "My ropes are very strong. You'd better save your strength."
Hearing this, Meng Nianchu glared at him angrily and stopped struggling. "Why did you kidnap me?"
Jin Hui's fat face showed a sinister look. At this time, a lackey rushed in from outside and said in a hurry, "The call has been connected!"
Glancing at the phone, Jin Hui directly turned on the speaker.
Mu Junze's deep and anxious voice sounded in the warehouse. "Let the person go!"
When he spoke, there were many car horns and the sound of wind around him. He should be outside.
Jin Hui guessed that he was on his way here. His eyes fixed on Meng Nianchu. He said meaningfully, "Mr. Mu had better come here quickly. Otherwise, for a delicate woman like Miss Meng, several of my brothers have never had a woman before. They are really eyeing Miss Meng."
"You dare!"
Hearing Mu Junze's sudden anger, Jin Hui looked proud. "I'll give you ten minutes. If you don't arrive in ten minutes, I won't be responsible for what will happen to Miss Meng."
He immediately hung up the phone and turned it off. Obviously, he wanted to prevent Mu Junze from calling in and deliberately make him anxious.
Looking at Meng Nianchu maliciously, Jin Hui sneered. "It's no use looking at me like that. It's your bad luck that you're Mu Junze's wife and he touched something he shouldn't have."
As he said, his eyes moved to Meng Nianchu's accidentally exposed shoulder, and he smacked his lips twice. "As long as you cooperate with me later, I'll guarantee that you won't be in danger. After all, I really feel sorry for a woman like you."
"Disgusting!"
"Don't be so harsh. Maybe Mu Junze will run into some enemies in a few days and die outside. Then you'll become a widow and be looked down upon. But if you cooperate well today, I can barely let my men take you in."
As soon as he said this, several men standing beside him showed lecherous expressions.
Among them, Li Qi was the boldest. He didn't hide his desire for Meng Nianchu at all. "Why are we waiting? Boss, I've been following you for so long, and I've had my eye on this little lady for a long time. Why don't we just let the brothers have some fun now."
He grinned at Meng Nianchu and walked towards her with his legs raised.
Meng Nianchu's face was full of anger. "Get away from me!"
"Such delicate skin. It's really a waste for Mu..."
"Bang!"
The warehouse door was kicked open, and Mu Junze, full of hostility, stood at the door of the warehouse.
Jin Hui glanced at the gold watch on his wrist. "A few minutes early."
Seeing Li Qi standing in front of Meng Nianchu with obvious ill - intent, the hostility emanating from Mu Junze became even stronger. He lifted his leg and walked straight in.
A man standing at the door tried to stop him.
Mu Junze directly kicked him to the ground. His deep eyes stared at Jin Hui, and his tense face was full of anger. "Let the person go!"
