Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Chairman Qiao
"Who wants to see her?" Lu Yingchi stuffed the phone directly into Ye Liang's hand. "If you want to see her, come and see."
It seems to make me angry.
Ye Liang: “…”
He glanced down at the person on the screen, wondering why Lu Yingchi, who had clearly come to watch Lu Xuan's performance, would be so easily defeated by another person.
This is someone from his family, but not his sister.
From what he said, he didn't mean his girlfriend. Then who on earth was it that could make Young Master Lu break down with just one sentence?
At this time, at the Lu residence, Lu Jiang also remembered the time when the program was broadcast, and opened the webpage in the study at the appointed time.
Just as he thought, the third brother couldn't endure any hardship. Even during the interview on the show, he lived in a suite. What else could you expect him to do?
The words on the barrage were so glaring that it was almost unbearable to read. After being away from home for so long and staying in the entertainment industry for a year, this was the result. Qiao Wu still said that he had perseverance, but what perseverance was there?
Only Qiao Wu, who grew up with him, thought he was clumsy.
Just when Lu Jiang was about to turn off the program video because he couldn't bear it anymore, the scene turned to the car, and Qiao Wu took him to the studio.
"There are no special privileges in this show. Can you stick with it?"
"If you can't hold on, I'll take your last name."
Lu Jiang was a little surprised.
He finally saw how Qiao Wu talked and interacted with his sons. Although there was some child-coaxing in his words, every word was said at the right point, allowing them to understand the importance of the matter at that moment.
The trailer is very short, only lasting to this last sentence.
Next came the preview for the first episode, and in just a few seconds, it showed Lu Xuan’s profile as he sat on the sofa.
It must be said that Lu Jiang did see a little bit of an actor in him at this moment. I heard that he had been taking classes in the company for a long time.
Then he could barely wait and see.
Just don’t say your name is Qiao Xuan when you come back next time.
His stupid son would definitely do it.
Lu Jiang watched for a while, then called Xie Yi. "What kind of people are watching Lu Xuan's show? They just say whatever they want."
Although retired from the company, Secretary Lu Jiang was still grateful. He was silent for two seconds: "Old man, this kind of people in the entertainment industry are called black fans. They are people who specifically say bad things about a certain star."
"When did it become my son's turn for outsiders to criticize him?"
Lu Jiang frowned and said, "Think of a way."
"That's right." Xie Yi was a little embarrassed. "Miss Qiao specifically told us not to interfere with the Third Young Master's work unless it was a special case."
Lu Xuan has always been very high-profile in the circle. Anyone interested can easily find out that he is the third young master of the Lu family. Lu Jiang was not very comfortable with this. "Just let these people scold you?"
"For now, yes." Xie Yi said, "Miss Qiao said this is the only way for the Third Young Master to survive. If he wants to continue on this path for a long time, he has to overcome this hurdle first. This little pressure is nothing."
Lu Jiang was completely speechless.
After hanging up the phone, he suddenly went back to the interview with Qiao Wu.
He was wrong. Qiao Wu was not simply trying to coax these rebellious sons.
She took Lu Yingchi out drinking and racing because she was there and she could control the situation and calm his emotions; and although she said she favored the third brother, she did not show any mercy in her actions and still had to put the necessary pressure on him.
If he remembered correctly, he didn't ask Qiao Wu to train kindergarten teachers.
On the other side is the actor training camp program team.
Agent Meng Xingxing finally took some time out to come and see Lu Xuan. He squeezed in during a break in the recording and felt a pang in his heart when he saw Lu Xuan's current condition.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Although he is much older than Lu Xuan, given his status as a young master, it is not unfair to call him brother.
At this time, Lu Xuan was wearing the costume of Jiang Qi's group, and he looked like he had walked out of a coal mine. However, Jiang Qi was very good at capturing the strengths of others. Although his body was dirty, the makeup on Lu Xuan's face was still very artistic, with a kind of messy beauty of wasteland style.
Meng Xingxing felt that Lu Xuan seemed to have lost a lot of weight. He had only been on the show for more than a week, but his eyes had changed and he looked a little depressed.
Lu Xuan lazily sat down on a small stool leaning against the wall, with his head slightly lowered to adjust his hair. He felt that this hairstyle itself was ugly and dirty.
But Jiang Qi insisted that he dress like that. He was almost out of patience and spoke in a sarcastic tone every day.
The day after Qiao Wu left, his suite was confiscated by Shui Lingling and he was sent back to his original double room by the hotel manager.
There is no need to think about it, it must have been Lu Jinzhi who did it.
But he had just promised Qiao Wu that he would persevere. He couldn't give up the next day. He hadn't eaten or slept well all day, and had endured until now. He felt that he was about to become an immortal.
Moreover, Jiang Qi is a troublemaker. If something goes wrong, he will start scolding. He has really tolerated this person for a long time.
Seeing him staring at Teacher Jiang Qi intently, as if he wanted to bite a piece of flesh off him, Meng Xingxing hurriedly said, "Miss Qiao asked me to come and see you."
Lu Xuan paused: "Qiao Wu?" His cell phone would be confiscated during the recording, and he could only use it when he returned to the hotel. However, he basically finished filming in the early morning recently, and no one could be contacted at that time. This was the most frustrating thing.
"The pilot episode aired today," Meng Xingxing said. "Want to know how it went?"
"In no mood."
It's just a pilot film, what else can those people say except that they will be fascinated by his beauty.
Meng Xingxing comforted: "Don't think too much, many people are scolding you."
Lu Xuan raised his eyes, which were filled with resentment, and said in a cold voice, "Do you think you are good at talking?"
"Why are you scolding me?" He scoffed. "Is it illegal to be handsome?"
"They're just haters, don't take them seriously," Meng Xingxing said. "They're just saying you're rich and arrogant, but you don't have the talent and your private life is chaotic."
Lu Xuan didn't know if this guy really had no emotional intelligence or what, but he was just too angry: "Thank you, now I know the content even without reading it."
"You're welcome." Meng Xingxing said, "This is what Miss Qiao asked me to say."
Lu Xuan mocked: "She doesn't have your eloquence."
"Really?" Meng Xingxing said, "She said you'll definitely give these people a slap in the face after the show."
Finish?
Lu Xuan felt that he would not be able to hold back and turn over the table and leave today.
That day, Qiao Wu told him that in this program he would suffer hardships he had never experienced before and experience things he had never experienced before. He didn't take it seriously at the time, but now he feels like he's going crazy.
Meng Xingxing handed him the box she had been holding: "Look, I went to your house specially to get it for you."
As soon as the lid was opened, the aroma of pastries made by the Lu family's senior pastry chefs spread out.
Lu Xuan was stunned. Qiao Wu had used this trick to coax him back to the Lu residence.
Now there is this trick!
She says she has grown up, but now she still uses the same methods she used when she was a child to coax people.
childish.
He looked away: "My hands are dirty."
"I'll feed you. I washed my hands."
Meng Xingxing carefully used the matching fork to fork the snack to Lu Xuan's mouth.
Although the young master didn't show any indifference on his face, his body was very honest and he ate from his hand.
Meng Xingxing's uneasy heart before coming here suddenly calmed down.
After taking over Lu Xuan, he has always been a little worried that he will not be able to control this young master. Although he usually attends classes in the company, he rarely communicates with other people, and his temper is still the same.
Now it seems that Miss Qiao was right, he is indeed easy to coax.
When recording the program, everyone in the crew ate the crew's boxed lunches together. As soon as the aroma of the pastries was released, the dog came over following the smell.
"What does it taste like?" Jiang Qi, still unaware that someone was trying to stab him, saw the dim sum and his eyes lit up. "Lu Xuan, give me a piece too!"
Before he could get close, he was stopped by Lu Xuan's dirty hand.
Lu Xuan raised his long legs and pressed against the opposite wall, blocking his way. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Mine."
Jiang Qi wanted to step over, but he was too old to be as flexible as the young man. "It's just a snack, aren't you afraid that I'll give you a hard time?"
"You're wearing less now?"
Lu Xuan hooked his finger: "Keep feeding."
Jiang Qi: "You can't eat too much! You have to control your sugar intake!"
"Teacher Jiang, this is specially made. It doesn't have too much sugar." Meng Xingxing whispered, "Miss Qiao also asked your chef to make it."
"Um."
The emotions that had been suppressed for many days suddenly improved a lot at this moment, and Lu Xuan was very proud of himself.
Then Meng Xingxing said, "Miss Qiao has prepared some for others as well. Brother, take it first. I'll get it for them."
Lu Xuan: “?”
Then he saw Meng Xingxing followed by two assistants. One of them hurried over with a large box in his arms. One of the boxes of snacks was handed to Jiang Qi. "Teacher Jiang, this is made by our chef at Brother Lu's house. Thank you for your hard work during this period."
Jiang Qi finally smiled and sat down next to Lu Xuan, holding the box. "That's right."
Lu Xuan frowned.
He doesn't even have an assistant, but now he has two, and he gives the food made by his chef to those who scold him.
Outrageous.
"Stay away from me." Lu Xuan was displeased.
"Where do all these problems come from?"
"It's so dirty."
Jiang Qi slapped his shoulder, then ate his snacks and talked more, not as fiercely as before. "Is this dirty? I left some white space on your face. We built this set ourselves. If you go out to shoot in the mountains, in the water, in the wind and in the rain, it will be even dirtier. Don't be afraid of being wronged or tired in this line of work. If you're afraid, just give up as soon as possible, okay? My requirements are a bit high when I work, but I'm responsible for the work I produce."
After working in the industry for so many years and playing so many roles, how could Jiang Qi not notice that this guy was becoming more and more depressed and angry every day? Lu Xuan was not someone who could hide his emotions.
But he never indulges anyone. Since you have made the choice, you have to endure the hardship. If you can't bear it, don't do it. There are many people who need this opportunity, no matter if you are the young master of a rich family.
But nowadays, people are grateful for what they have received. Saying a few more words won’t make you lose any profit. We all came from a young age.
"Don't look so gloomy all the time. If you think it's hard, it will only get harder." Jiang Qi said, "You were in pretty good shape on stage that day. You were quite confident, and you even knew how to give yourself a break."
He was talking about the scene where Lu Xuan showed a very poor acting skill and his performance turned out to be surprising.
Lu Xuan said indifferently, "The Artist Director told me to say it."
Jiang Qi: "...You really don't know there's a camera shooting footage."
"So what?" Lu Xuan said with a sour face, "Things I didn't do can be talked about like crazy online. Why would I be afraid of being criticized if I did?"
This was said in such an arrogant way that for a moment Jiang Qi couldn't tell whether this was the character set given to him by his company or his own nature. It was quite funny and straightforward.
"Actually..." Meng Xingxing said, "That wasn't said by Director Yu, it was said by Miss Qiao."
"Ms. Qiao?" Jiang Qi had an impression of this person. "Your beautiful friend."
Lu Xuan turned his head suddenly: "What did you say?"
"Brother, don't you know?" Meng Xingxing said, "I send Miss Qiao a copy of your daily schedule. If the company has any work arrangements, she will discuss it with us in advance. We will only give it to you if she thinks it is suitable. It was she who suggested that you come to this show this time."
"So some of the company's arrangements for you were her ideas."
Lu Xuan didn’t know, how could he know, Qiao Wu would never tell him these words.
"Then it seems that Miss Qiao is indeed a very good friend of yours." Jiang Qi said enviously, "I don't even have a friend like her."
Rarely, Lu Xuan did not speak.
He looked at the pastry in his arms, then at Jiang Qi's.
Her taste is different from his, this is the only one made specially for him, she knows his preferences.
In this entire group, five students and staff members, each person was given snacks and would say "Thank you, Teacher Lu" to him from afar.
Is she a supernatural being? She is so busy all day long and yet she can still do these things.
He didn't care how dirty his hands were. He picked up the fork and continued to eat the rest of the food. He asked vaguely, "Did those people scold her?"
"Which ones?" Meng Xingxing thought for a moment. "Are you talking about the haters? No, most of them compliment her on her looks but her blindness."
Only a blind person would think that a dandy like Lu Xuan is clumsy and foolish, and only a blind person would believe that he can succeed.
Of course, some people speculated whether the two were in a relationship, but Meng Xingxing didn't say anything. This topic is quite sensitive, and if it was heard by someone with ulterior motives, they would start to fabricate something.
Lu Xuan finished his meal and stuffed the empty box into Meng Xingxing's arms: "Who is blind?"
"Go back, don't come to see me," he said. "I will stay until the last day."
Meng Xingxing nodded quickly: "Okay!"
"Have you finished eating?" Lu Xuan stood in front of Jiang Qi. "It's time to go to work."
Jiang Qi laughed: "Now you don't feel that I scolded you anymore?"
Young Master Lu put his hands in his pockets and hummed without any emotion after a few seconds.
Go ahead and curse me, it won’t hurt you.
Just don't scold her.
He has no aspirations and doesn't want to be wronged.
But he didn't want to lose because she worked so hard and he didn't want her to suffer any injustice.
Looking at the backs of Lu Xuan and Jiang Qi as they left, Meng Xingxing was surprised to find that the dejection in Lu Xuan had almost disappeared.
He couldn't help thinking that Miss Qiao was really very foresighted.
He had been told in advance that he must come to see Lu Xuan at this time. When he saw Lu Xuan for the first time just now, he was worried that Lu Xuan would go back with him directly.
But a few words and a box of cakes can coax the person into submission.
-
Qiao Wu, who was far away in southern Jiangsu, felt relieved after receiving the message from Meng Xingxing.
She believed in Lu Xuan's perseverance, but this was the first time in so many years that he had climbed up from the bottom on his own without any background. It was normal for him to have some emotions, and she just needed to spend some time to coax him.
Now the charity forum is coming to an end, and the cocktail party will be right after it. She was just about to ask Lu Yingchi if he wanted to come to the cocktail party tonight when she received a message from Lu Yingchi.
Just four words: "I'm not going."
This isn't his style, the emotion isn't right.
She asked, "What's wrong?"
What's wrong? You still have the nerve to ask what's wrong?
Lu Yingchi typed angrily: "Just follow your side!"
Qiao Wu: “…”
He watched the show? But what kind of anger was he getting?
Qiao Wu couldn't understand their behavior of competing for favor like elementary school students, but forget it, as long as he could stay in school, it would be fine and have a good experience.
It was time for the award ceremony, and Lu's charity foundation, as the donor of the largest charity project in the country every year, always won the first prize.
She put her phone away.
On the other side, Lu Yingchi, who was walking on a small road in the ancient town with his classmates, stared at the screen of his mobile phone for a long time.
No, she just said nothing?
She agreed?!
Well done, Qiao Wu, I won’t bow to you either!
"Lu Yingchi." Fei Jingming walked over to him. "The girls want to go take pictures. We plan to split up and gather together at the appointed time. Do you want to go with us or by yourself?"
Lu Yingchi was not interested in the ancient town in southern Jiangsu. His family already had a house in southern Jiangsu, which was left by his grandparents. Everything in it was more beautiful than here.
He was extremely depressed now. He didn't know where to go by himself. He asked, "Where are you going?"
Fei Jingming gestured to his companions: "There's a street full of bars over there. Let's go sit in a bar and enjoy the night view. We'll split the bill. Do you want to go?"
Qiao Wu said that you can't get drunk, but he didn't say that you can't drink alcohol.
"Okay." He nodded.
After a pause, he said with a sour face, "I only drink a little."
"Don't worry." Fei Jingming patted his chest, "I still have to make sure everyone returns to the B&B safely."
The group left in a mighty procession.
It is not the peak tourist season now, but there are many seats in the bar. The group sat down at several tables together. Considering that Lu Yingchi is tall, they specially left him a seat in the corner so that he can stretch his legs.
Lu Yingchi has now naturally accepted this kindness, saying that they should split the bill and he will just pay the bill later.
Young Master Lu has never heard of the term AA when he goes out to play with others.
Not long after everyone sat down, another group of people walked in from outside.
"The construction workers." Ye Liang said, "Are they also having an autumn outing today?"
"I didn't notice." Fei Jingming glanced back, "Most of them happened in the past two weeks, that's normal."
The alcohol content of the Coke barrel wasn't very high. Lu Yingchi, sitting in the corner, had already poured himself several cups. He looked up when he heard this and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm from the construction industry." Ye Liang explained quietly, "We played ball together before, but we had a little disagreement."
Fei Jingming patted his arm and said to the people at the table, "Just come out and have fun. Stop talking."
The others had the same idea and didn't say anything else.
Seeing this, Lu Yingchi also withdrew his gaze.
He didn't play basketball after entering college, but he played in a private school in high school. No one dared to have an argument with him at that time, but things on the court were just like that, so there was no need to take it too seriously.
What he is arguing about now is another matter.
Half an hour passed, and Qiao Wu still ignored him.
Is this point still on the forum?
He thought about it, then turned on the live broadcast of the economic channel that he never watched with a gloomy face, and sure enough, he saw the charity forum being broadcast live.
It’s just that there were too many shots and they were all filming the stage, so he couldn’t find where Qiao Wu was.
Until the host said...
"Now, please welcome this year's charity star, the representative of the Lu Charity Foundation, to the stage!"
Everyone present at the meeting knew that there had been a major reshuffle of senior management at Lu Corporation recently. The young Lu Jinzhi had appeared on the stage. This was his first public appearance since returning to China, but the venue was too large and no one saw him.
So at this moment, everyone couldn't help but look to the side of the stage.
Lu should be sitting in the first row.
Then everyone saw a slim figure standing up. The person was wearing a black long dress, with loose black hair. She gently lifted the hem of her skirt when she walked on the stage. Just looking at her back, her temperament was very extraordinary.
In the intervals between applause, the audience asked each other: "The Lu family doesn't seem to have a daughter? Who is this?"
"Who knows? The person who can represent the Lu Group is probably not a simple person. He might be a high-ranking official."
It wasn't until the black figure came on stage and revealed his face that everyone showed surprised expressions.
How could there be such a young senior executive? He must be even younger than Lu Jinzhi!
If you don’t know this face, you might think it’s a celebrity artist who was invited to perform on stage.
The woman's black dress was formal and elegant, and the accessories were simple, but she wore it with an extraordinary flavor.
At this moment, all the media cameras present were focused on the dazzling person on the stage.
Some people who had attended dinner at the Lu family naturally recognized who this person was at a glance.
That butler?
That's not right!
Outside the phone screen, Lu Yingchi stared intently at the person walking towards the stage.
She didn't even wear a dress for the family dinner that day, but she wore one today for the cocktail party.
Because it was a charity forum cocktail party, the dress she wore was very low-key and elegant, but the black skirt made her look even whiter.
The camera zoomed in, and her eyes looked even clearer and more direct without her glasses.
The person who was still on the phone coaxing him gently in the morning was now standing on such a big stage, shining and calm.
And... out of reach.
Lu Yingchi's throat rolled slightly.
"Lu Yingchi, don't you want to drink?" Fei Jingming nudged him. "What are you looking at?"
"Oh, this!" Ye Liang saw his screen, "The beautiful sister who was with Lu Xuan!"
"What do you mean together?" Lu Yingchi frowned. "Lu Xuan is Lu Xuan, and she is she. They are not together. She is busy with her own things."
"Oh!" Ye Liang said enviously, "I'm really surprised. The star participating in the show is your brother, and he's participating in... what is this? A charity forum. Holy shit... is this the kind of event we can actually watch?"
"But she is really beautiful," Fei Jingming praised. "Judging from her demeanor and conversation, she must be a very impressive person to be able to attend such an event."
Lu Yingchi couldn't refute it.
At this moment, through other people's lenses and other people's praise, he finally understood clearly.
Qiao Wu is really amazing.
During the live broadcast, Qiao Wu had already accepted the Charity Star certificate and the microphone from the host. He faced the audience calmly and spoke in a calm and gentle voice, "Hello everyone, I am Qiao Wu, Chairman of the Lu Charity Foundation. I am honored to accept this heavy honor as the representative of the Lu family. In the future, the Lu family will continue to be committed to carrying out public welfare work and shouldering its social welfare responsibilities..."
"Hey hey hey! Where are you guys going? It's been a while, let's have a drink together!"
The sudden noise from the table outside drowned out the volume of the cell phone, and Lu Yingchi looked up in displeasure.
Ye Liang craned his neck to take a look and cursed, "It's the League Secretary and the others, and that bastard, after all, they couldn't chase me, so they harassed me, didn't they?"
