When the Stars Align and Hearts Collide Chapter 9

The nightingale show was scheduled to be the last.

Henry Gu struggled to push his way through the crowd and squeezed next to Du Tiantian.

"The event hasn't ended yet, why did you run out?" Li Hao was stunned.

"For the last part, Ling Yun brought his own professional team." Henry Gu lay on the fence, looking at the catwalk from a distance, "I just came out to get some fresh air."

"The rest are Lingyun Fashion?" Li Hao was unlucky when he heard it, "Then what are you looking at? Can you get off work? I'll take you to eat crayfish."

"No, I have to watch until the event is over." Henry Gu stretched his muscles and said, "It's okay. I also want to see their new product display this season."

His tone was relaxed, as if he had completely forgotten the past, but Li Hao obviously didn't think so. When Henry Gu was terminated from his internship contract by Lingyun Fashion, he was depressed for a long time and refused to eat or drink. He was absent-minded while walking on the road and almost fell into a pit. How could he have completely walked out of the shadow in such a short time? It was impossible to think about it.

Not to mention watching the nightingale fashion show, which should have belonged to him.

The show music is brisk and lively. Different from the lace and floral patterns commonly used in Japanese girlish wear, the design of nightingale is simple and bright, without complicated bows and lace embellishments. Instead, it has brighter lines and cuts, just like the nightingale in the fairy tale. It does not have a stunning appearance at first glance, but as long as you are willing to stop and listen, you will always gain the sound of nature and a rose with its stamens dyed red with blood - that is the most selfless love that can only be had at the most youthful, charming and innocent age.

The last model made a grand farewell, to thunderous applause.

As representatives of Lingyun Fashion, Mason Xu and Yi Ming went on stage to unveil the new store with Blake Lu, and Henry Gu also turned and left the audience.

"Henry Gu!" The others hurriedly chased after him. Du Tiantian carefully observed his expression and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Henry Gu sat on the steps, "I'll get some fresh air."

"What the hell, come on, let the brothers help you vent your anger." Li Hao sat next to him, "For such a shameless person who is both mentally and shamelessly damaged, it is useless to reason with him, the only solution is violence."

"What happens after the violence is over?" Henry Gu propped his head up with one hand, looking at the tall buildings in the distance. "He goes to the hospital, we go to the detention center, and then a few tabloid reporters come and dig up what happened back then and exaggerate it, and life continues to be a mess."

... Du Tiantian squatted in front of him and tried, "What do you think?"

"I want to get Nightingale back, but I can't do it now." Henry Gu said in a low voice.

The brothers present were still a long way from the peak of their lives. At such a vicissitudes of life, it seemed that they could do nothing but accompany him to brag, drink and peel crayfish. After a while, Du Tiantian punched Li Hao and angrily said, "You have big double eyelids in vain. How can you be a man? Otherwise, you can seduce Blake Lu."

"If Yangyang needs it, I can sacrifice myself." Li Hao endured the humiliation and squeezed his chest, "Is this okay?"

"Fcuk!" Zhang Qiming's face turned pale. "I want to vomit."

Several people were talking nonsense, and Henry Gu was finally amused. He smiled and threw a bottle of water over: "Stop it."

"Actually, this is a good thing." Du Tiantian put his arm around his shoulders. "From now on, we will take Nightingale back as our goal. The brothers promise to work hard for you and reach the pinnacle of life as soon as possible, so that you can bully others earlier. How about it?"

Henry Gu smiled and high-fived him: "Okay!"

"Do you still need to go back to work?" Li Hao asked.

Henry Gu made a phone call, and Yu Dawei said that the fashion show had just ended, and President Lu and the people from Lingyun Fashion seemed to have a drinking party and had already left.

"Then I'll go back and clean up the place." Henry Gu stood up, "Thank you for tonight."

"Why are you thanking us?" Li Hao asked again, "Are you sure everything is fine?"

"It's okay." Henry Gu said with a smile, "Let's go out for dinner together tomorrow. I'll treat you."

"Then we have to eat something expensive." Du Tiantian picked up the bag from the ground, "Okay, let's go back quickly."

Henry Gu waved at them, turned around and ran back to the shopping mall.

The other few people stood there and watched him leave, sighing with heartache and kindness on their faces, just like an old father.

Most of the audience had already left, and the central hall was noisy as workers were moving flowers out. Yu Dawei waved to Henry Gu to come over, wondering, "Where did you go just now? Mr. Lu said he wanted to take you to dinner, but he couldn't get through on the phone."

"The signal may not be very good at the North Square." Henry Gu helped move the table. "How was the last show?"

"It's amazing, absolutely amazing. I think my bonus this month will double." Yu Dawei pointed upstairs, "The mall will close in half an hour, and there are still long lines in the nightingale stores. It's going to be packed with customers."

Lin Lu, the women's clothing manager of the investment promotion department, was also smiling happily. She brought some midnight snacks and thanked the marketing department for planning the event. She also said that if Henry Gu needed any gifts in the future, he could just ask and she would definitely cooperate.

"Thank you, Sister Lin." Henry Gu asked, "Is there anyone else in the store now?"

"Yes, let's go and take a look?" Lin Lu said, "There are too many people lining up, and many customers directly ask for the runway models and take them away without even trying them on."

"Okay." Henry Gu wiped his hands and went to the second floor with Lin Lu to inspect the store. Because of the autumn and winter fashion show, the closing time was postponed to 24:00 today. There were still many customers in the mall, and the busiest one was, of course, the nightingale that had just settled in Huandong. The store was brightly lit and crowded with people. Five or six shopping guides were busy running around, and customers were squeezed so hard that it was difficult to move a step.

"Forget it, forget it, don't queue for the fitting room, just buy that skirt and go." A 15 or 16-year-old girl might have been impatient waiting, so she pointed at the show model on the shelf and wanted to take it away. The mother next to her was about to ask the shopping guide to pack it up, but Henry Gu asked: "Are you going to wear it yourself?"

The little girl turned around and looked at him, then quickly smiled sweetly: "Yes."

"That one might not be suitable, it's a bit mature, why don't you try this one?" Henry Gu took a skirt from the shelf, "It should be cuter."

The little brother with the most beautiful face and nice voice in the universe said that he is cute!

Mom, I want to buy this!

"Don't you want to try it?" Henry Gu asked with a smile.

"Well... you can give it a try." The little girl stood there obediently. Her mother wanted to laugh but couldn't, so she could only pretend to make a phone call, leaving Henry Gu to continue chatting with her. Five minutes later, the little girl came out of the fitting room, a little shy and a little proud: "Does it look good?"

Henry Gu gave her a thumbs up.

Other customers around also praised her sincerely, saying that she is really beautiful, sunny and girly.

After seeing off the happy mother and daughter, Henry Gu was successfully promoted to a shopping guide. The customer stopped him and refused to let him go, insisting that he help her choose clothes. Lin Lu was also amused by the scene, so she took a photo and sent it to the company's management group, jokingly saying that Manager Li Yun of the Marketing Department had found a treasure.

The nightingale business was so good that the mall played the music three times before the store finally quieted down. Several salesgirls were very grateful to Henry Gu and gave him a bottle of carrot juice, asking him to come often in the future.

"Have you driven yet?" Lin Lu asked, "My husband is here to pick me up, and he'll take you there."

"No need, Sister Lin, I have friends here." Henry Gu said, "You should go home soon."

Lin Lu thought he really had an appointment, so she didn't say much. Henry Gu stood by the road alone with his bag, waiting for five minutes but didn't get a taxi, but did get the president.

"Get in the car." Blake Lu opened the car door.

"...Thank you, Mr. Lu." Henry Gu sat in the passenger seat, "Why haven't you come home yet so late?"

"You didn't go home either?" Blake Lu smiled. "Are you done with your work?"

Henry Gu nodded: "I just went to the nightingale store and took a look. Business is pretty good."

Blake Lu started the car: "Guanlan Villa?"

"Yeah." Henry Gu knew that he lived in a remote place and was annoying, so he took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Lu, where do you live?"

Blake Lu replied: "Yuelan International."

Henry Gu: ...

Henry Gu said sincerely: "Mr. Lu, I'd better take a taxi."

Blake Lu didn't say anything, just focused on looking ahead. When he was on stage today to unveil the exhibition, he happened to see Henry Gu leaving without looking back. Judging from the reactions of the other people around him, it didn't look like nothing had happened, so he asked Mason Xu at the celebration banquet whether there had been any conflicts between Lingyun's people and Henry Gu during the preparation stage for the unveiling.

"I didn't want to say this." Mason Xu was a little drunk. "Your subordinate, Henry Gu, used to work at Lingyun, but I fired him later."

Blake Lu frowned: "Reason?"

Mason Xu spoke incoherently, and finally managed to give a rough idea. Before Blake Lu could figure out what was going on, Lin Lu sent a photo to the WeChat group. In a store full of fairy-tale atmosphere, Henry Gu was helping customers choose clothes, smiling happily and sincerely - his passion was real, and his enthusiasm didn't seem fake.

...

The temperature in the car was neither too hot nor too cold, and the music was barely noticeable, which was perfect for a long sleep. However, the president refused to speak, making the atmosphere even more depressing. Henry Gu was filled with sorrow and felt that the journey was extremely long.

As the car passed the bend, Henry Gu's body fell forward due to inertia and he woke up instantly.

"You don't have to go to work tomorrow, right?" Blake Lu parked the car in front of Guanlan Villa.

"No need." Henry Gu patted his head, "Sorry, Mr. Lu, I seem to have fallen asleep again."

"No wine for you today." Blake Lu smiled and helped him open the car door. "Take a good rest for a few days. See you on the 8th."

"Yeah." Henry Gu stood on the side of the road, "Goodbye, Mr. Lu."

As the car drove away, Blake Lu called Yang Yi and said, "I have a task for you."

"What's the matter?" Yang Yi sat cross-legged on the sofa, "Where have you been? Why are you still outside?"

"Find out what happened to Henry Gu during his internship at Lingyun Fashion." Blake Lu said, "Don't let anyone else know."

"Henry Gu also worked at Lingyun?" Yang Yi was surprised to hear this, "It's not written on the resume, how did you know?"

"Mason Xu said today that he fired Henry Gu before." Blake Lu said, "I want to know what happened."

"Okay, I understand." Yang Yi nodded. He and Blake Lu both valued Henry Gu very much, and originally planned to transfer him to work directly with them after the National Day holiday. However, since an accident has happened, of course they have to find out the reason first before making the next decision.
