She approached the scalper, who enthusiastically asked, "Want a ticket?"
She leaned over and whispered, "I have a ticket in my hand. I don't want to go anymore. Do you want one? I'll sell it to you."
"You tell me a number and see if I can accept it."
Lu Wanying made a four, and the scalper shook his head, looking unconvinced. She then began to say, "You've made a net profit of 100, so don't be too greedy."
"Do you know how much I paid for these?" The young man made a two-sign gesture, and Lu Wanying instantly realized that the other party thought her offer was too high.
She pretended to be angry because the deal hadn't been concluded and started to make a scene, "Little brother, you are too greedy. I sold it to you for 100, but you wanted to reduce it to 50. If you sold it for 500, you would have made a net profit of 450. Is this ticket really that worthless? How could I sell it to you for 50?"
Soon her words attracted the attention of people around her.
Hearing her nonsense, the young man realized something was wrong and began to defend himself, "You're talking nonsense. How could I only spend 50 on these tickets?"
"Are you saying I lied to everyone? I'm just a student, why would I lie to you? I'm just bored. Besides, I'm from another school, and this ticket was given to me by a student from Qinghe."
"Is the person who gave you the ticket your friend? He actually gave you such an expensive ticket." someone asked curiously.
Her younger brother has set up a stage for her in the crowd, and now it's her turn to perform.
"Friends? I'm from No. 2 Middle School, how could I have friends in Qinghe? I'm lucky she didn't look at me with a sidelong glance. I begged for this ticket with tears in my eyes, using both emotional and logical persuasion. When she gave it to me, I was so happy I almost jumped up and down. I said it was such an expensive ticket, so I should give her some money as a token of my appreciation. But she said no, and I was puzzled. She gave me this ticket worth a thousand gold just like that, and guess what she said?"
She deliberately left the suspense and let everyone speculate.
The scalper didn't know what she was going to say, but he knew she would definitely ruin his fortune. "Don't listen to her nonsense. These tickets are in great demand. If you miss this opportunity, they'll be gone forever. There are only a few left. Hurry and buy them now. The party is about to start."
No one paid any attention to him; everyone's eyes were on Lu Wanying.
"Is she a woman? She's not interested in Chu Xinrou?"
"She's probably a senior in high school, so focused on her studies, how could she have the time to go to the gala?"
"Maybe she's tired of it."
Lu Wanying shook her head, looking mysterious, "Neither."
"Hurry up and don't waste our time."
"She said the ticket was worthless. I asked her if Chu Xinrou was going to be both the host and a solo dancer. That was really exciting. She said, 'What's so good about Chu Xinrou? She has a bad temper, she's not attractive without makeup, and her dancing is just average. She was only chosen as the school beauty because people were afraid of her family's influence. Pity those people who spent a lot of money to watch her."
After Lu Wanying finished speaking, the scalper brother almost collapsed. Isn’t this destroying his reputation?
"Everyone, please don't believe her words. Rumor has it that Chu Xinrou is as beautiful as a fairy, pure and beautiful, and her dancing is amazing."
Lu Wanying suddenly retorted, "Little brother, you said it was just a rumor, but you spoke as if you had seen it before. And you just said that the ticket was only 50 yuan. People nowadays are simply dishonest and tell lies just to make money."
The scalper brother was instantly speechless. He became nervous and stammered, "I admit that I made huge profits, but..."
Before he could finish his words, Lu Wanying interrupted him, "Did everyone hear that? He admitted he was making exorbitant profits. He sold a ticket that was only 50 for 500. That's ten times the price. Is Chu Xinrou some A-list celebrity? There must be a reason for the low purchase price. Don't be fooled. Don't wait until you see it and realize you've wasted your money."
"You...you..." Brother Huangniu was so angry that he vomited blood and couldn't say a word to refute.
Everyone hesitated, looked at the door several times with confusion, and left one after another.
Seeing that her plan had succeeded, Lu Wanying ignored her brother's angry look, glanced at her younger brother, and went in with the ticket.
She followed the sign and found the auditorium. She randomly pulled a classmate to ask where the backstage was. The classmate took a fearful look at her outfit: colorful hair, makeup so thick that her original skin color couldn't be seen, and she had a gangster-like air.
"From there...up...up." The classmate answered hurriedly and left quickly.
Lu Wanying went straight to the backstage and always attracted people's attention along the way. After all, her outfit stood out in the crowd.
In the waiting room, Mi Tanhua was pacing around anxiously, "Lan You, will this really work?"
"Squad leader, don't worry. Things have come to this. There is no other way at the moment."
Although Mi Tanhua's foot has mostly healed, she still can't dance, especially the ballet Swan Lake. The most exciting part of the ballet is the one-legged spinning, and her unhealed right foot simply can't bear it.
Their original plan was to change the program, but the leader said that the lighting and music had already been designed and could not be changed.
She should have been the only one to complete "Swan Lake" at the moment, but Lan You appeared and the presentation method also changed.
"Squad leader, I'm going to the bathroom first." Lan You walked out of the lounge and accidentally caught a glimpse of a bright color.
How did she get here?
There was a look of shock in her eyes, and he suddenly walked towards her.
Lu Wanying was immersed in looking for Chu Xinrou's lounge. After the last failure, she had not found an opportunity to prevent Chu Xinrou from going on stage. Seeing that the party was about to begin, she had to race against time and seize the opportunity to make Chu Xinrou a laughing stock of Qinghe, even if it was only temporary.
"You are so brave." Lan You said sarcastically.
Lu Wanying was startled by the sudden voice. She turned around and looked at her in shock, "It's you."
Lu Wanying's outfit was really too high-profile. The two of them standing together quickly attracted attention. Lan You narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly pulled her to a remote place.
Lu Wanying was struggling the whole time, and Lan You warned her in a low voice, "If you don't want Chu Xinrou to know you're here, just follow me."
The two of them arrived at a secluded place. Lan You looked at her sharply and asked, "Tell me, what is your purpose in coming here?"
Lu Wanying didn't even glance at her, "What's it got to do with you?"
"Because of Chu Xinrou?" Lan You said bluntly.
When she found herself here, she discovered that the last robbery was not that simple. She deliberately targeted Chu Xinrou not for the purpose of robbing money.
