After arriving in Shanghai, Lu Yuan met James.

James gave Lu Yuan a warm hug.

He looked so excited, as if he had met an old friend whom he had not seen for many years.

Next, the two of them started chatting about some family matters...

Jenny originally planned to act as a translator, but when she saw that Lu Yuan was barely able to have a conversation with James, Jenny decided to give up translating.

She found that although Lu Yuan spoke haltingly, there were basically no problems with his grammar, and James could understand him.

It seems that Lu Yuan has really put a lot of effort into learning English over such a long period of time.

fine!

After being able to understand what James said and communicate with him in pure English, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

He felt very gratified, just like the sense of accomplishment that after learning to drive for such a long time with so many bumps and bruises, he finally passed the test in one step and had his driver's license within his reach.

This feeling is more comfortable than the praise won by transferring works from the original world.

The same is true for learning English.

Since last year, Lu Yuan has insisted on memorizing words and grammar almost every day. Although such a long time has passed and his progress is still slow and he is totally inferior to those who study English majors, it is still progress for Lu Yuan.

Although the dialogue is still a bit awkward and sometimes I can't find the corresponding adjectives, these are minor problems.

The more you practice conversations, the more fluent and proficient English you will be able to speak in the future, right?

When Wang Hao saw James, he was instantly excited again. He, who had always been a bit lawless, was standing behind Lu Yuan, helping Lu Yuan carry his bag, looking honest and introverted.

When Wang Hao saw several tall muscular men coming towards him, he became even more nervous.

Captain William is here!

Captain William, who was roaring arrogantly on the stage like a tyrant, is coming over!

And little Jims and Robert followed behind...

These people had a strong aura when they walked over, especially the scar on Robert's face, which made him look extremely ferocious and brutal.

This made Wang Hao feel suffocated.

Is this a Hollywood rock star?

No matter where they go, these rock stars are so powerful and awesome!

Wang Hao suddenly had an urge to go up and take a photo with Captain William and others!

However, he still tried hard to suppress his surging and excited mood.

Instead, he stood quietly beside Lu Yuan and continued to act as his younger brother, while trying hard to look cool on his face.

He reminded himself that he was Brother Lu's man, and he couldn't bring shame to Brother Lu, right?

If he went up to the singers of the FOX band and asked for photos and autographs like a little fan without saying a word, where would Brother Lu put his face?

He looked at Captain William, silently.

At this time...

"Hi! Mr. Lu Yuan, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Hello, Captain William, hello, nice to meet you."

"Mr. Lu Yuan, I really like listening to your piano music, especially the "Lullaby" and the more recent "Castle in the Sky". I listen to it every night. I used to have insomnia to a certain extent, but after listening to your "Lullaby" and "Castle in the Sky", I found that my insomnia has been alleviated a little. It is especially calming!"

"Haha, that's good, that's good, it's great to be able to help you!"

"Mr. Lu Yuan, you look much younger than you do on the Internet. I can't imagine that I am shaking hands with such a young, internationally renowned pianist. I feel so honored!"

"Haha, thank you for your compliment... Actually, I'm not a pianist."

"Mr. Lu Yuan, can I take a photo with you?"

"Oh, yes, yes!"

"Great! My wife Carrie is your fan. When I came to China, she specifically asked me to take a photo with you... She also hoped you could sign an autograph for her..."

"Oh, okay..."

When Wang Hao saw Captain William coming in and his current appearance, he was a little overwhelmed.

For some reason, he actually had a feeling that Captain William was a fan of his brother Lu.

At this moment, he didn't know how to describe his feelings. He only saw his brother Lu smiling and taking a photo with Captain William.

After Captain William took the group photo, several other members came over and expressed their wish to take a separate photo.

In this spacious room, Wang Hao unexpectedly discovered that his brother Lu had become the center of attention, and everyone was circling around him...

this……

It’s so awesome!

At this moment, Wang Hao felt that his heart was strongly shocked.

He suddenly felt that Lu Yuan was actually the big boss standing at the top of the food chain.

Lu Yuan did not have such an awesome feeling. He felt that his smile was quite stiff and he had an indescribable sense of embarrassment, especially the scissors hand gesture he made in the group photo, which looked really stupid.

Will these photos become my dark history like that so-called “artistic photo”?

This absurd thought came to Lu Yuan’s mind.

After taking the group photo, the FOX band talked to Lu Yuan about many things about rock music, and said that they liked the song "Hotel California" very much. He hoped to sing it well in tomorrow's performance, and also hoped to sing this song on the same stage with Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan said he had no objection to these things, the key was to see James' arrangements.

After all, the marketing and everything were planned by James, and since James had no objection, Lu Yuan also had no objection.

After the greetings, Lu Yuan and the others had a simple lunch together. After lunch, they went to the central square of Magic City to look at the stage being built and get familiar with the venue...

When he arrived at the venue and saw a group of people tuning their instruments, Lu Yuan began to think about another thing.

This trip was sponsored by a favor.

Lu Yuan did not receive any appearance fee. Apart from food, he had to pay for everything else including hotel expenses and air tickets by himself.

Of course Lu Yuan didn't feel bad about the money.

nonsense!

Lu Yuan felt that he was already a big shot with hundreds of millions of assets. Would he feel bad about spending a few thousand dollars?

He just felt a little uncomfortable.

He turned and looked at Wang Hao.

This kid Wang Hao was still following Lu Yuan diligently and silently. He did not have the temper he had when they first met. Instead, he was like a little lamb.

What does this look of being beaten by society mean?

He shook his head.

“Wang Hao…”

"What's wrong, Brother Lu?"

"Want to try on stage?"

"Ah?" Wang Hao looked at the stage and suddenly became nervous.

"Fox will be singing on stage later. Don't you want to sing with your idol? And why have you been following me like a shy girl? A man should act like a man. Where's your rock spirit gone?"

"Um, this... Brother Lu, I'm just afraid of embarrassing you... Such an important occasion, I... And I'm playing rock and roll with the FOX band, isn't this just showing off my skills in front of an expert..."

"Why are you embarrassed... Young people shouldn't be too shy. You have to fight for the things you like, okay? Don't be timid, just do it!" Lu Yuan shook his head, acting like a veteran.

"I...I want to...go up and sing with them!" After being encouraged by Lu Yuan, Wang Hao nodded vigorously, his face flushed with excitement.

Wang Hao did not feel that there was anything wrong with Lu Yuan's pretentiousness. Instead, he had a vague illusion that Lu Yuan was his elder.

He didn't know where this illusion came from.

"Okay...I'll go talk to them."

Lu Yuan nodded and walked onto the stage, then said a few words to James and the FOX band. James glanced at Wang Hao and nodded, while the members of the FOX band all showed a very welcoming smile.

After doing all this, Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

"Why are you still standing there? Go up!"

"Ah... now?"

"Of course it's now, and if this rehearsal goes well, you can go on stage and sing their songs tomorrow!"

"What?" Wang Hao shuddered, hardly believing his ears.

Is this true?

"Don't tell me you're a fake fan of the FOX band and you can't sing their songs?" Lu Yuan glared at Wang Hao.

"How could that be! I know all their songs!"

Happiness came so suddenly. When Wang Hao saw the FOX team members on the stage waving at them, he rushed up happily.

As for Lu Yuan, he calmly found a seat in the middle, took the potato chips handed to him by Wu Tingting, and started eating happily like a spectator.

Although it's just a friendly promotion among everyone, Lu Yuan feels that he has to maximize the benefits, right?

With this level of publicity for the FOX band, it will definitely attract a lot of traffic, right?

There must be a lot of viewers with full traffic!

Isn't it profitable to promote artists from your own company to take advantage of the popularity of the FOX band and attract attention at the same time?

If Wang Long and Shen Zhiwei weren't busy, Lu Yuan would even want to pull them over to join in the fun.

after all……

Aren’t these all intangible benefits?

And singing along with a group like FOX is also very cool...

As long as Wang Hao doesn't disappoint and his new album doesn't suck, it's all money, right?

When he thought of this, Lu Yuan felt very comfortable and in a very good mood.

…

"What!"

"Why so sudden?!"

"This is too shocking, isn't it? FOX suddenly came to our Magic City to hold a fan meeting?"

"Wow! This... I wasn't prepared for this before, how come it happened suddenly?"

"Wait, shit, Lu Yuan seems to be on the promotional poster!"

"What! Lu Yuan? Isn't Lu Yuan busy filming "A Chinese Odyssey" right now?"

"Have you forgotten that Lu Yuan is also a singer?"

"Fuck! When did Lu Yuan get in touch with FOX?"

"Do you remember the piece of news? It was revealed that Lu Yuan wrote a song for "California Trip", and this song is now sung by the band FOX!"

"Holy crap! That's so awesome!"

"Wait, is this how Er Gouzi strikes back at Joaquin? An unconventional counterattack?"

"It seems, it really is..."

“…”
