After breakfast, Lu Yuan dressed neatly and walked out of the hotel with Wang Jinxue.
Outside the hotel, a swarm of reporters were frantically taking photos with their cameras.
Fortunately, the hotel security guards were quite capable. They had anticipated this situation and sent several additional groups of people to keep the reporters out.
After seeing these sweaty security guards, Lu Yuan couldn't help but give them a thumbs up.
However, just as Lu Yuan was about to get in the car and leave, he suddenly saw a familiar face among the reporters, and at the same time, he heard bursts of Chinese shouting...
"Ayuan, Ayuan... this way, this way, look here..."
Lu Yuan turned his head subconsciously.
Then...
He saw Zhou Shuai.
He was stunned.
At first glance, I thought he had the wrong person.
But when he looked carefully again, he finally confirmed that the person in front of him with bloodshot eyes and constantly calling his name was Zhou Shuai!
Absolutely true.
Lu Yuan is quite strange.
What happened to Zhou Shuai this time?
Why are you here?
However, with so many reporters around, it was not easy for him to greet Zhou Shuai, so he winked at Zhou Shuai and took out his cell phone.
He suddenly remembered that his phone was turned off because it ran out of battery last night, and it was fully charged this morning...
So Zhou Shuai can’t get through?
…
"A Yuan, what's wrong with you? You didn't tell me such big news? When I got the news, I already lost count of how many times I've been in the process of doing it!"
"I said I just found out about this this morning. Do you believe me?"
"That joke isn't funny at all. I didn't come all the way from Hollywood to listen to your jokes..."
"Then what should I say?" After Lu Yuan knew that no one listened to him when he told the truth again, he felt a little helpless.
Isn’t this a scam?
"Just tell me about your next plans for 'Carthaya'. I heard that you had a great chat with Mr. Henry yesterday? Were you talking about the endorsement of the 'Heart of Eternity' project?"
"I said we are talking about art, do you believe it?" Lu Yuan continued to look at Zhou Shuai. He felt that Zhou Shuai still didn't believe it.
"I believe this..." Zhou Shuai nodded, "I've heard that Mr. Henry is interested in various arts before, and you, Yuan, seem to be full of artistic germs... It really suits my taste."
"It's artistic talent..."
"Well... I'm confused by your skit 'We're Not Short of Money'. Okay, tell me about your plan..."
"What plan..."
"Grab the endorsement plan. No matter it's Hollywood or France, all the media are watching you now. Please reveal a few things so that I can get some artistic information." Zhou Shuai became anxious when he saw Lu Yuan pretending to be ignorant.
"Jinxue and I plan to go back this afternoon, prepare tomorrow, and get the certificate the day after tomorrow... Well, this is the first-hand information." Lu Yuan smiled brightly and looked at Wang Jinxue who was sitting next to him.
Wang Jinxue also had a faint smile on her face.
I still feel a little bit happy in my heart.
"Ah? Don't be kidding..." Zhou Shuai was dumbfounded.
go home?
Go home, god damn!
You've got your new clothes and pants on, and you look like you're about to do something cool, and you're telling me you want to go home and get married?
Do you think that I, Zhou Shuai, have made up too many stories based on pictures and my IQ has become negative?
I wouldn’t believe it even if I was kicked in the head by a donkey!
"Brother Zhou, I'm not kidding. My expression right now is more sincere than anyone else's... Whether you believe it or not, this is an established fact. In fact... Hmm? Let me take a call first..." Lu Yuan looked at Zhou Shuai with an extremely serious expression, so serious that it even gave people a feeling of unusual seriousness.
When Zhou Shuai saw Lu Yuan’s serious look, he almost thought he had been kicked in the head by a donkey.
But this seriousness did not last long.
Lu Yuan called...
"Hmm? Mr. Henry?"
"Invite us to lunch?"
"ah?"
"Okay, Mr. Henry. By the way, I'm actually planning to... um? Your chef is going to introduce a new dish today? I'd really like to see it..."
"By the way, Mr. Henry, can I bring someone else? Yes, a friend from China."
"right."
“…”
Lu Yuan hung up the phone.
Zhou Shuai's expression changed from dumbfounded, to confused, to doubting his life, and then to ecstatic...
It can be seen from his changing expression that Zhou Shuai must have gone through too many mental journeys in these short few minutes.
"Lunch?" Zhou Shuai looked at Lu Yuan cautiously.
"Um."
"Can I come along?"
"What do you think?"
"Fuck! This is simply a case of one person's success bringing prosperity to the whole family..."
This moment...
There was a bright light in Zhou Shuai's eyes.
"You know when you're eating..."
"I understand. I understand."
"Um."
Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan and Zhou Shuai and saw them suddenly smile at each other, then immediately shook her head.
These two are probably up to something messy again.
…
Lu Yuan got it wrong.
Zhou Shuai also had the wrong idea.
Henry's lunch was not the same lunch for a few people as yesterday.
It was lunch for a group of people.
When Lu Yuan and the other two walked into the hall under the guidance of servants, Lu Yuan saw a group of people sitting in front of a long table.
These people look very formal.
It was so formal that Lu Yuan felt very uncomfortable.
When Lu Yuan walked in, this group of people instantly stared at him. Lu Yuan felt a great hostility from their eyes, especially when he passed by a tall handsome guy with blond hair. Lu Yuan felt that the way he looked at him was as if he was an enemy, and even the most basic smile seemed forced.
Lu Yuan felt that this person looked familiar.
but……
He couldn't remember who this person was.
Lu Yuan felt even more uncomfortable seeing this.
He had the urge to leave.
But this thought only lasted for a moment.
After seeing this situation, Lu Yuan knew that it would be impolite to leave now.
Zhou Shuai narrowed his eyes.
After seeing this group of people, he suddenly became excited.
Has it started?
He searched his pockets and wanted to take out his camera to take a picture, but when he saw the ferocious expression of the bodyguard next to him, Zhou Shuai didn't dare to do it.
He could only follow Lu Yuan silently.
but……
"Sorry, your seat is not here, your seat is over there..."
"ah?"
"Sorry... please..."
“…”
"Then they..." Zhou Shuai looked at Lu Yuan and Wang Jinxue sitting at the long table speechlessly and felt very strange.
"They are on the master's invitation list, and you, sorry..."
"Okay." Zhou Shuai nodded angrily and sat down in a seat aside. The seat on the other side was obviously the agent's seat.
…
"Jinxue, what are they talking about?"
"They were discussing why Mr. Henry didn't come, and why the seat Mr. Henry was supposed to sit in was always empty..."
"ah?"
"What about them?" Lu Yuan looked at another group of people who seemed to be looking at him, feeling very strange.
"Them? You don't want to know."
"ah?"
"Tell me?"
"Okay... The guy in front of you is Spanish. He said in Spanish that you are a queue cutter and a rule breaker... The guy next to you, yes! The guy next to you is Russian. Although he spoke very quietly, I could still hear him saying bad things about you... As for the others, they are a little better. They are celebrities in France and they are all talking about this endorsement..."
"You understand everything?"
"I can't understand everything, I can only understand some of it..."
"Oh... why do I have a feeling that you are an all-round translator?"
"Let's eat."
"good."
As the sound of piano sounded, the banquet was announced to begin.
When Lu Yuan heard the piano sound, he looked up subconsciously. Then he suddenly discovered that the person playing the piano in a tuxedo was none other than Jester, one of the top ten pianists in the world.
Um……
The two are old acquaintances.
After seeing Lu Yuan, Jester nodded seriously to Lu Yuan and continued to play the famous "Roman Festival".
This is a very cheerful piano piece, and it also contains a hint of romance.
Jester is very good at romantic notes. When he was filming "The Legend of 1900" with Lu Yuan, Jester often showed off his romantic tunes on the crew's piano, and he was always intoxicated...
After seeing Jester, Benjamin looked a little uncomfortable.
He stared at Lu Yuan subconsciously.
While others did not start eating but were concentrating on appreciating the elegant piano music, only Lu Yuan was holding a knife and fork and tasting the roast suckling pig that had just been turned over on the table, looking like he was enjoying it very much.
It looks quite incongruous, as if it is somewhat out of place with the elegance of the hall.
But……
You said Lu Yuan doesn’t know how to appreciate piano music?
How is this possible!
Even if he believed that a sow could climb a tree, he would not believe that Lu Yuan did not understand piano music.
after all……
No matter how much you hate Lu Yuan, you have to admit that Lu Yuan is definitely the king when it comes to piano.
But why did he do that?
In fact, this lunch is not an ordinary lunch. After this lunch, it is very likely that Mr. Henry will announce the candidate for the spokesperson for "Carthaya".
Could it be that Lu Yuan didn't understand the importance of this lunch?
Now that you understand, why don't you pay a little attention to your image?
Is there some conspiracy?
The more Benjamin thought about it, the stranger it seemed, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was not right.
Meanwhile, deep down inside...
There is also a feeling of uneasiness.
The piano piece ends.
Then Jester bowed to everyone and slowly raised the red wine glass next to him to toast everyone.
After toasting, he smiled and nodded to everyone again...
final.
Under everyone's surprised gaze, he sat in the main seat.
When Benjamin saw Jester sitting in the main seat, his pupils shrank...
He suddenly remembered Jester's last name.
Everyone in the world knows that the pianist in front of them is called Jester, but few people pay attention to Jester's last name.
Yes!
Jester's last name is Henry!
right!
Henry!
boom!
This moment...
Benjamin felt as if his head had exploded, and many things that he didn’t quite understand seemed to become clear to him at this moment!
Yes!
He understood everything!
Jester, one of the top ten pianists in the world, is Mr. Henry's...
It is very likely that he is Mr. Henry's son!
but……
Why couldn't we find any information showing that Jester was related to Mr. Henry?
like……
It doesn't matter at all.
why is that?
Could it be that it had been kept secret until now, but today...
Oh my God!
Benjamin felt a surge of shock in his heart, and then he stared at Lu Yuan, who was continuing to eat the roast suckling pig as if nothing had happened, as if he had seen a ghost.
Not only was he staring at Lu Yuan, but everyone present was staring at Lu Yuan!
The relationship between Jester and Lu Yuan...
Who here doesn’t know?
Jester was pulled over by Lu Yuan to perform in "The Legend of 1900"!
etc!
Is this person a complete relative?
Zhou Shuai was excited!
All the agents looked at Zhou Shuai, who was trembling and blushing.
Could this Chinese person...
Having a seizure?
"Everyone... Today, Mr. Henry has caught a cold, so I will temporarily entertain you on his behalf. I hope that today's dinner will be a wonderful dinner. At the same time, I hope that no matter what the future holds, no matter whether we cooperate or not, we, Cartia, will always be with you. There is a box of necklaces on your dining table. The necklaces are very valuable. This is a small gift from us, Cartia, to you. I hope it will accompany you forever..."
Jester looked at everyone with an elegant smile and said this sentence in the most standard English.
"Huh? There is such a good thing, huh? Why don't we have it?" Lu Yuan subconsciously looked at the boxes on other people's seats, and then when he saw the box on his own seat, Lu Yuan was a little dumbfounded.
"Lu Yuan..."
"What's wrong?"
"You may have succeeded in becoming the spokesperson..."
"What?"
Wang Jinxue glanced at Lu Yuan, her expression still indifferent.
Benjamin's face changed.
It turned into liver color!
Yes!
He realized that he was a runner-up!
Mr. Geno really did have a liking for him.
but……
Mr. Geno is not Mr. Henry...
And look at Jester's appearance today.
It seems that "Carthageya" is going to announce something big through today's spokesperson event!
FUCK!
Benjamin stared at Lu Yuan!
His expression suddenly turned gloomy.
but……
There is nothing I can do.
Damn it, if I had known from the beginning that this thing had already been decided, why the hell would I have gone through all the trouble to come here?
