"Let her in!"
The security guard was notified before allowing An Ke to follow Jian Yu's car inside.
Anke's current demeanor is quite different from before; she's become much sharper, and her every move exudes a superstar aura.
What brings you here?
Jian Yu accepted the tea and snacks brought by the maid. "Please sit down!"
"I heard you were back, so I came to see you. You know what? I was so worried when I heard you were missing."
"It's nothing, just a false alarm."
An Keke had witnessed Jian Yu fall into the water, so she knew perfectly well that Jian Yu was just being polite.
As for the inside story, Anke wasn't that interested.
After chatting for a while, Jian Yu noticed that An Ke seemed distracted. "What's wrong?"
An Ke sighed deeply. "Jian Yu, I'd like to ask you for a favor?"
Tell me about it.
"Could you play a piano duet with me the day after tomorrow?"
"ensemble?"
"right."
"Wouldn't a piano solo be better?"
"Well, besides piano, I've also studied flute. I recently had a teacher to help me practice, and I'd like to ask you to play a duet with me."
"Shall I play a duet with your flute on the piano?"
Anke nodded.
Jian Yu was puzzled, "Why did you suddenly have this idea?"
Anke suddenly felt embarrassed, "My program was rejected, and I'd like you to help me out."
Jian Yu, "You want me to find a TV station to add your program?"
Anke nodded.
Jian Yu: "What about your company? Don't they care?"
An Ke's eyes reddened. "You probably don't know, but Huo Shanzhen and I broke up again yesterday. This time there's no hope of getting back together. I didn't care anyway. If we broke up, we broke up. It was a matter of mutual consent. But he shouldn't have helped his new love steal my show."
"Was your show canceled because of Huo Shanzhen's new love interest?"
"Um."
An Ke lowered her head and wiped away her tears. "It wouldn't have been a big deal if the show was taken away, but the two of them got to know each other because Huo Shanzhen accompanied me to rehearsal. It was only for one day, and then I was dumped. Fine, we broke up, but the show that was rejected was hers. Why should it be changed to mine? The company doesn't dare to offend Huo's. Waaah... I really can't swallow this."
Not to mention An Ke couldn't swallow this insult, even Jian Yu was a little angry when he heard it. Couldn't they have parted amicably?
"Isn't Huo Shanzhen known for her dignified breakups?"
Anke said, "I don't know either. He said he loved me, so I agreed to stay with him. But in less than a month, he changed his mind."
Judging from Anke's condition, she probably won't even get a breakup fee.
Is there a breakup fee?
Anke shook her head, "Nothing, but he's already given his new lover a necklace, sob sob..."
Seeing An Ke crying so pitifully, Jian Yu said, "Don't cry. I'll ask around and see if we can add you back."
An Ke grabbed Jian Yu's hand, "I don't want to perform alone anymore, will you play a duet with me?"
Jian Yu had only been back for two days and had no intention of participating in the performance.
Uncle Li came in at the right time and immediately contacted someone to help Anke resume the program.
Anke was very happy, but her smile didn't reach her eyes, which the others in the room didn't notice.
Jian Yu thought that the matter was over and done with.
To everyone's surprise, An Ke called again the next day, sobbing, "Jian Yu, my show was added to a group performance, there were more than twenty artists, and I only got a one-second shot on screen, waaaaah..."
"What happened?"
"I don't know either. This was arranged by a retired senior leader. Waaah..."
Uncle Li immediately asked around, "You said An Ke offended the old leader's secretary? How did she offend her?"
The other party was also unaware of what had happened.
Anke herself was completely bewildered. "I don't even know which one is the old boss's secretary. How did I offend her?"
Jian Yu asked Uncle Li, "Is there any way to add Anke's program?"
After hearing this on the phone, An Ke said loudly, "I asked my executive director, and he said that an old singer just withdrew from the show due to health reasons. If I don't want to play in a group, this is my only chance. Jian Yu, why don't you play with me? If you're willing to come, the TV station will definitely welcome you. I can get a lot of screen time by following you."
Li Bo had been instructed by Huo Qizhen to pay close attention to Jian Yu's emotions and prevent her from developing any psychological problems due to her recent experiences.
Jian Yu plays the piano well, and he always receives a lot of praise for his performances.
Appropriate praise is beneficial to a person's physical and mental health, and Uncle Li really wanted Jian Yu to go and have some fun.
"Jian Yu, do you want to perform?"
Jian Yu considered for two seconds, then said, "Help me ask!"
"good."
The TV station staff remembered Jian Yu and readily agreed, "It's going to be broadcast live tomorrow, can we come for a rehearsal now?"
Li Bo looked at Jian Yu.
Jian Yu nodded, "Okay."
After discussing the song with Anke over the phone, Jianyu practiced at home for over an hour before going over.
Anke had been excitedly waiting backstage, and when she saw Jian Yu, she gave her a big hug.
Without giving time for pleasantries, the two immediately began rehearsals.
It has to be said that having excellent skills is truly impressive. Although Jian Yu and An Ke had never played together before, their first rehearsal went very smoothly.
After rehearsing five or six times, the assistant director finally let the two go.
An Ke hugged Jian Yu, saying, "You saved my life."
Jian Yu said, "I didn't expect you to be such a good flute player."
Encore: "Great teachers produce great students, and besides, I've also put in a lot of hard work."
Jian Yu said softly, "Why don't you go find the old leader's secretary and explain the misunderstanding, so that she won't try to harm you again in the future?"
Anke nodded, "I'll go in a bit."
"Okay, I'll head back now. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
The performance on the second day went very well.
The internet is flooded with videos of Jian Yu and An Ke's performances.
As Jian Yu scrolled through her phone, she felt increasingly uneasy. Many bloggers were praising Anke's flute playing, saying she had the demeanor of a chivalrous woman.
What is the connection between the flute and the female knight-errant?
And these kinds of comments are everywhere.
The more I look at it, the more I feel that someone is deliberately doing marketing.
Is An Ke's role related to a female knight-errant?
Jian Yu continued scrolling, but after a long time, he still couldn't find any related characters.
Several bloggers have said that Anke has a close relationship with the wife of the president of the Huo Group.
The wife of the president of the Huo conglomerate?
Huo Qizhen isn't even married, so where would he get a wife?
Based on all the information, the person responsible for the marketing should be Anke.
As for Anke's purpose, it is not yet clear.
A day later, Jian Yu found the reason in a post that revealed the inside story.
An Ke is probably competing with the company's top female star, Qing Tian, for the same movie role.
Jian Yu frowned. Qing Tian had a powerful background; where did An Ke get the courage to compete with her?
Make a phone call.
An Ke was surprised that Jian Yu had found out. "You knew?"
"Shouldn't I know? The old boss's secretary making things difficult for you, is that a lie?"
