Chapter 52 Chapter 52 I Have a Question

Ding Ling understood what Lu Yao meant, but that was not how it was calculated.

Those marketing accounts make a living from this. Does the truth and falsehood in the entertainment industry really matter? Maintaining popularity has never been solely up to the artists themselves. How can Minghui Entertainment be the first in the entertainment industry to do this?

"Lu Yao..." Ding Ling looked at Lu Yao and just opened her mouth, then suddenly stopped.

The expression on Lu Yao's face in front of her was very familiar, exactly the same as the expression Lu Yao had when he was talking to Su Junliang in the Nancheng video.

He wasn't asking for advice, he was just informing.

If the company doesn't do it, Lu Yao will do it himself.

Ding Ling understood instantly.

"I understand." Ding Ling smiled. If that's the case, then let's do it.

Is it right that it has always been this way?

She has long been dissatisfied with those marketing accounts.

Minghui Entertainment was founded, setting a precedent.

When Lu Yao left the office, Wang Mingzhi, who was waiting in the conference room, saw him at a glance.

He immediately walked in front of Lu Yao, and Lu Yao distanced himself and stopped.

"What did the teacher tell you?"

"Ask me how our relationship is going."

"As expected." Wang Mingzhi asked, "What did you answer?"

"A normal relationship."

Wang Mingzhi scoffed at the words, curling his lips in disdain. He glanced at Lu Yao's face and uttered two words: "Hypocrisy."

Walk away.

There is a sense of pride in his back.

When the two of them walked out of the conference room, there was still a buzz of discussion inside, but as soon as the door opened and the two of them appeared, the discussion stopped.

The mute effect is comparable to that of a class teacher.

Wu Anyi looked left and right, wanting to ask something, but he couldn't bring himself to ask.

No other reason, just unfamiliar.

To be honest, he was always a little scared when facing Lu Yao.

When Cong An met Wu Anyi's gaze, the same emotion in their eyes made them feel a sense of sympathy and sympathy for each other. They lowered their heads at the same time, picked up their phones and started browsing.

Mobile phones are really fun.

Only Bai You was cheerful. He pulled out a stool and motioned Lu Yao to come over. He asked, "Why did the teacher ask you to come over?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone's ears perked up.

"Discuss the trending search."

really.

The conference room fell silent again.

It's like an ant crawling around in everyone's heart, making them feel itchy but afraid to move. The ant has crawled into their hearts -

This is not just an itch, it's death.

So when Ding Ling pushed open the door of the conference room, she was faced with everyone's relieved looks.

She was very confused and really wanted to close the door and enter again.

She actually had the illusion that she was very popular?

"I know everyone's exhausted, but I still have something to say." Misconceptions aside, what needs to be said must be said. "I've been busy preparing for the concert lately, and time is tight. I know everyone's under a lot of pressure and their minds are on edge."

"So if there are some minor conflicts and frictions in daily life, it's normal. I hope you don't take it to heart."

"Everyone just needs to work harder and get through this month."

"We'll give everyone a day off after that!"

The trainees cheered a few times out of courtesy.

Ding Ling finally stopped after giving a series of speeches of comfort, consolation and rosy promises.

"If you have any questions, please remember to talk to me, Li Qiang, Xu Bin, or any other teacher in the company. The company will definitely help you."

As soon as these words came out, the trainees all breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that today's meeting was finally over.

Wu Anyi buried his head, not knowing for a moment whether it was more painful to stay in the same room with Lu Yao awkwardly, or to listen to Ding Ling talk for an hour.

But fortunately, both kinds of pain are coming to an end!

"I have a question."

Before Wu Anyi could finish his breath, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

Ding Ling's eyebrows jumped, and she wanted to pretend that she didn't see Lu Yao raising his hand.

If I search through my memory, I seem to find that every time Lu Yao took the initiative to speak, nothing good happened?

But, once words are spoken and water is poured out, they cannot be taken back.

Ding Ling smiled, looked at Lu Yao, and asked, "What's the problem?"

"I have no money."

? ?

What?

No money?

Even if you have no money, you still have to look for a company...?

Dry!

Lu Yao is an orphan!

The smile on Ding Ling's lips froze.

Q: How do children grow up?

Answer: Raised by parents.

Another question: How to raise a child?

Answer again: Parents give money and love.

Another question: What if there are no parents?

The company has to support it! ! ! !

Ding Ling wanted to scratch her head.

It has been two months, two whole months. Have they given Lu Yao a penny?

Is there?

How come she has no impression at all?

Could it be that Lu Yao was not given a single penny?

ah?

No way?

Is Minghui Entertainment really Zhou Baopi?

"I understand. I'll contact the finance department right away. Don't worry. You will never have any financial problems in the company, okay?" Ding Ling looked at Lu Yao, trying to make him see the sincerity in her eyes.

"Okay." Lu Yao nodded, as if he saw Ding Ling's sincerity.

Ding Ling left in a hurry, and somehow the conference room fell into a strange awkwardness again.

Wu Anyi felt that his fingers were sore from scrolling on his phone. Embarrassment always comes suddenly and catches people off guard.

Bai You spoke again: "Why didn't you tell me you had no money?"

In an instant, everyone looked at Bai You.

Cang Zizhen's eyes revealed confusion. Lu Yao has no money, does Bai You have to solve the problem too?

Zhu Xiangming stuck his head in front of Bai You and said, "I have no money!" He blinked, revealing his desire.

"Why are you asking me for money if you don't have it?" Bai You pushed Zhu Xiangming's head back. "Go to your parents."

Zhu Xiangming sat up straight and pursed his lips silently.

Why would he need to say something useful to his parents like that to Bai You?

After Zhu Xiangming's interruption, the atmosphere in the meeting room became much better. When Li Qiang came to take everyone downstairs to the car, the trainees were already chatting and laughing.

Although there seemed to be a vacuum zone around Lu Yao and Bai You, the overall atmosphere was still harmonious.

That night, Lu Yao received the three thousand cash from Li Qiang.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to transfer money, but fourteen-year-old Lu Yao is unable to open an online banking account.

Li Qiang went to the bank to withdraw the money.

In response, Bai You issued the following statement: "If you have anything you want to buy in the future, just tell me and I'll buy it for you online, and you can just give me cash."

In the era of mobile payment, the goods that can be purchased with cash offline are ultimately not as abundant as those online.

In response, Lu Yao expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, I understand."

Bai You was very satisfied and relieved.

Lu Yao needed help, and he provided it, which was perfect.

I don’t know if it was a good sleep last night, but the trainees gathered in Practice Room 2 again early the next morning.

Despite a lot that has happened in the past two days, life goes on and their work cannot stop.

A familiar place, a familiar scene, a sea of ​​cameras, and Ding Ling holding documents.

"Congratulations to all the trainees! The assessment of the second quadrant has been successfully completed!" Ding Ling applauded behind the camera.

There's even little variation in the lines.

"Three weeks later, on September 3rd, we will begin the third quadrant assessment—the process of breaking out of the cocoon."

Even the preparation time is the same.

No one spoke, everyone knew what Ding Ling would say next.

They are waiting for the next result.

"Now, I have the voting results of the second assessment in my hands."

The trainees pursed their lips and lowered their eyes, revealing their inner uneasiness at the moment.

Ding Ling took a deep breath and read out the ranking.

"The performances that best matched the concepts in the second quadrant, as selected by the audience, were: 'A Better Tomorrow,' 'DREAM,' and 'Don't Give Up.'"

When the names of the three programs came out, if they were not being recorded, Lu Jianian almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

They are all programs from Qiu Yuge’s group, what else is there to say?

Fits the concept?

Isn't it just about popularity?

Ding Ling continued, "According to the audience vote, the trainees who best fit the concept are ranked as follows:"

"First place, Qiu Yuge."

"Second place, Zhu Xiangming."

"Third place, Yin Hongxue."

"Fourth place, Cang Zizhen."

"Fifth place, Bai You."

Ding Ling was very fast, one after another, almost without stopping.

"...Ninth place, Lu Yao."

Lu Jianian couldn't help but look over.

Not only Lu Jianian couldn't help but look at Lu Yao.

Last time Lu Yao was ranked twelfth, but this time he is ranked ninth?

What happened?

No, it’s not what happened, but in just two months, the airborne Lu Yao surpassed those who had practiced for four or five years and became the ninth?

So what are those who come after the ninth place? Clowns?

[No, how come the newcomer's ranking rises so quickly? ]

It was only 12th last time, but it's already 9th this time? Are you sure it's okay?

What could be wrong? Everyone has two eyes, so how can we not see who is good and who is bad?

Reply [1st floor]

That means those trainees in the lower circle, after all these years, still can't compare to an airborne trainee.

【3rd floor】

Reply [2nd floor]

Yes, otherwise why are they in the lower circle? There must be a reason.

【4th floor】

Seeing how quickly this newcomer's popularity is rising, I understand why he must be allowed to join the fifth generation. Yes is Yes after all.

[5th ​​floor]

No, do you really think that the popularity of the airborne is so high? This time the Qiu family exchanged votes with their family, so their ranking went up.

6th Floor

Reply [5th floor]

The Qiu family? Qiu Yuge? Why did Qiu Yuge's family exchange votes with Lu Yao's family? The popularity gap is so huge.

7th Floor

Reply [6th floor]

It's easier to change because of the huge popularity gap, no threat.

8th Floor

Reply [7th floor]

This is indeed part of the reason. I heard that it was Lu Yao's family who contacted Qiu Yuge's family, saying that there is only one lead singer, Zhu Xiangming, in the top five, and Lu Yao is an obviously excellent lead singer. As long as Minghui Entertainment wants to promote a group that can sing, Lu Yao will definitely be there, so they exchanged tickets in advance to build a good relationship so that they can have long-term cooperation in the future.

Reply [8th floor]

...We can still talk like this? The Qiu family is also willing to exchange this?

10th Floor

Reply [9th floor]

What Lu Yao said does make sense.

11th Floor

Reply [10th floor]

Six hundred and sixty-six. What about Wu Hai, Wan Yuanzhou, Wu Anyi, Huang Xi, and Lü Jianian? Aren't they also lead singers?

12th Floor

Reply [11th floor]

Their singing is just average, not as good as Lu Yao, and how do you know Qiu Yuge’s family didn’t exchange with them?
