Sally couldn't help but say, "Xiaoyu, I feel like there's something... deeper in what you just said?"
"Really?" Rong Yu pulled out a tissue and wiped her mouth. "If that's really the case, then he's been organizing his fans to make 'subtle' remarks about me online so many times, while he pretended not to hear. Can't I just retaliate a little and pretend not to hear either?"
Sally finally realized what was happening, and her hands trembled as she drove: "So, you really did it? What did you do?!"
Rong Yu blinked: "Actually, I didn't do anything special. I just tried my best while acting, making my expressions as exaggerated as possible. Wouldn't that make his expressions seem a bit monotonous?"
Rong Yu cupped her face in her hands, her expression somewhat sorrowful, and said, "Alas, it's a pity I used a little too much force; now everyone is afraid of me."
Rong Yu seemed to have thought of something, and then smiled again: "But it doesn't matter, as long as brother doesn't dislike me or fear me, that's enough."
Sally looked at Rong Yu's smiling eyes in the rearview mirror, but suddenly felt a chill from behind, making her shiver.
Just then, Rong Yu slightly suppressed her smile and pointed ahead, saying, "Sister Sally, the light is about to turn red."
"Ah, okay!" Sally quickly stepped on the brakes, and when she looked at Rong Yu in the rearview mirror, she saw Rong Yu take out a bottle of water from her backpack, open the cap, and tilt her head back to gulp it down. She looked rather carefree, not at all like the sinister person she had been just now.
Sally then looked away, thinking that what she had just seen must have been an illusion.
The car quickly arrived at the agreed-upon location to discuss the new song. Several people had already arrived, including Tao Li and Fang Mengda. Chi Yang and Wen Yu entered right after Rong Yu. The five greeted each other, and Tao Li even rushed up to give each of them a big hug.
The others were able to handle Tao Li's enthusiasm, but Wen Yu was a bit thinner and almost got tackled by Tao Li.
Fortunately, Chi Yang was there to support Wen Yu, and he glared at Tao Li with feigned displeasure: "What are you doing? You want to find an excuse to get us together at the hospital as soon as we meet?"
"Hehe, it's just that it's been too long since we last met, and I missed you guys! Wenzi, are you alright?" Tao Li touched her nose and apologized to Wen Yu.
"It's alright, it's been a while since we've all seen each other, Brother Tao probably forgot about my weight-bearing capacity," Wen Yu said.
"Now that everyone's here, let's get started! I can't wait to know the choreography for our next performance. I really want a dance that will set the whole place on fire!" Fang Mengda said.
"Huh? Is everyone here? Isn't one person still missing?" Wen Yu looked around in confusion.
"Oh, Mingqian isn't coming. He said he has some event to attend and told us to discuss it and send the details to the group chat." Fang Mengda said, "His assistant came by just now, said these things, and then left. He seemed very busy and rushed around."
Sally, who was talking to Wen Yu's agent, caught up from behind and asked curiously, "An event? What event is so busy? We had arranged to discuss things together today, but he got called up by some last-minute event?"
"It seems he has a banquet to attend tonight. His assistant said he needs to prepare in advance." Tao Li picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup for everyone.
"A banquet?" Rong Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.
“Yeah, I heard it was a high-society banquet. Judging from his assistant’s arrogant attitude, the social circle must be quite high, otherwise he wouldn’t have been spoiled like that.” Tao Li quickly stuck out her tongue.
Fang Mengda said, "Ming Qian seems very kind and friendly, but I don't know why his assistant and agent are both so arrogant."
As soon as Fang Mengda finished speaking, he noticed that the other four people were all staring at him, which puzzled him: "Why are you all looking at me like that?"
"No..." Wen Yu coughed lightly, "I just think it's nice that you're so innocent."
Fang Mengda: ?
Chi Yang scoffed lightly: "That's called being heartless. They kidnapped him, and he still cares whether the kidnappers are well-fed and clothed."
Fang Mengda felt a little embarrassed by what he said: "Can't you just say what you mean?"
"It's not easy to say this directly, but just be more careful in the future," Chi Yang said, shrugging.
During their casual conversation, the other relevant personnel arrived, and the group gathered together to discuss the new song.
Rong Yu propped one hand on the table while hiding the other under it, her fingertips rapidly tapping on the screen.
Soon, he felt his phone vibrate slightly, so he quickly looked down and saw a new WeChat message pop up.
Little M: I've checked. The location is 159 Chengzhongcheng Road, Fengyun Hualou. There is indeed a banquet being held tonight, it seems to be Yin Changhong's 70th birthday celebration.
The giant fish spreads its wings: !!!
Big Fish Spreads Its Wings: Okay, I understand.
A giant fish spreads its wings: [WeChat Red Envelope]
Little M has received your red envelope.
Little M: Hehehe! Brother Rong is really generous! Let me give you another piece of news as a bonus~ Consider this news a gift to Brother Rong. It's about Wei Shu, the young master of the Wei family, whom you asked me to investigate before. I don't know what kind of deal the two families made, but now Wei Shu is on the Hua family's side. And Wei Shu is actually a hacker! He's consistently ranked in the top ten on the global hacker network, his code name is Zero. If you hadn't asked me to investigate, I wouldn't have known that this young master was hiding so much!
Big Fish Spreads Its Wings: Hmm, I guessed it.
Little M: Huh? How did you guess?
Big Fish Spreads Its Wings: He can't hide anything. I only had to try a little to get him to talk. It seems he uses his intelligence for other things.
Little M: ……
“Um…” Rong Yu looked up from her phone and said to the group who were still debating whether to choose “lyrical songs” or “upbeat songs,” “How about we dance to a catchy dance track, the kind that can be used as square dance music? That way we won’t have to worry about people forgetting us. We can also do two sets of moves, one with more difficult moves and one with simple moves that can be used directly as square dance music. We can do the more difficult set during the performance and upload the simple set online.”
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Rong Yu.
Wen Yu's agent frowned: "Won't this make you look a bit cheap? It's true that you're down-to-earth, but if square dancing becomes popular, when people hear this song, their first thought will be square dancing. Your figures will very likely be associated with square dancing aunties in the audience's minds."
Wen Yu blinked: "Isn't this great? The square dancing aunties are all elders. If our figures can overlap with theirs, wouldn't that double our height?"
Wen Yu's agent: "..." What kind of bizarre thought process do you have!
Fang Mengda said, "I also agree with Brother Rong's suggestion. Anyway, we've just debuted, so we don't need to worry about being idols."
Chi Yang coughed lightly: "Well, actually I still want to maintain a little bit of my idol image, otherwise how can I live up to my handsome face?" Chi Yang flicked his bangs: "If you guys insist on dancing, please arrange some moves that won't ruin my image. Thank you, brothers and sisters here."
Rong Yu joked, "Why don't you just stand at the back and strike a pose? Then we'll all dance around you, and you can just stand in the middle and radiate your charm."
Tao Li cleared her throat and began to speak in a standard announcer's tone: "As the ice and snow melt and all things revive, it's mating season again. On the vast Eurasian continent, there lives a group of large, social mammals—idols. Not far away, a young and handsome male idol stands among five male idols, freely spreading his scent..."
Only Wen Yu agreed, asking, "What's that smell?"
Tao Li paused, then suddenly stretched her neck and sniffed at Chi Yang's neck, commenting, "That's the scent of AandD perfume 'Sea of Blue.' 'Sea of Blue' makes you feel like you're always surrounded by the sea; it's the scent of freedom."
After saying that, Tao Li shrugged at Chi Yang and said, "Here, settle the advertising fee, thank you."
Chi Yang: "..." His clenched fists felt a little itchy.
Sally looked at Rong Yu: "Has he always been like this?"
Rong Yu knew, of course, that Sally was referring to Tao Li, and nodded hesitantly.
Rong Yu really wanted to say that when Tao Li was a trainee on "Brother's Debut," she wasn't like this... well, at least not that bad.
Tao Li's manager subtly elbowed Tao Li before smiling and saying to the others, "Haha, Tao Tao just likes dry humor. You'll all get used to it. Come on, let's continue with our previous topic. Did Xiao Yu suggest a catchy song? That would actually suit our Tao Tao quite well. We have no objections. What about you guys?"
Fang Mengda and Wen Yu's agents also expressed no interest. Chi Yang's side is up to Chi Yang himself. Since Chi Yang took the initiative to choose the task assignment, it is equivalent to agreeing to this matter.
"Hahaha, Brother Tao! Are you doing stand-up comedy? Hahaha, this is hilarious, male idols are emitting a scent, hahaha..." Just as everyone was about to finish their discussion, Fang Mengda suddenly burst into laughter, laughing until tears streamed down his face.
Is your thought process like that of Xiangpiaopiao milk tea?
The kind that can circle the Earth three times.
The song was settled, and the next step was to start composing, writing lyrics, and choreographing.
These things can't be resolved in a day, so everyone went home first.
Rong Yu actually had a performance class in the afternoon, but she still asked for leave, saying that there was a sudden emergency at home that she needed to deal with immediately.
Rong Yu performed quite well in acting class, and his mentor thought highly of him, so all his leave requests were approved.
Upon receiving the fake suit, Rong Yu immediately rushed to a clothing store and quickly bought a dark red suit that fit her well. She then put on a bright silver tie with an ochre-red tie clip.
After finishing her clothes, Rong Yu went into the hair salon, scanned the QR code to pay, and then styled her hair into a neat and tidy look all by herself. In less than ten minutes, Rong Yu left the hair salon, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for Fengyun Hualou.
