Harry held his chin with his hands and really couldn't be happy.
The peak of life surrounded by fierce 1, even if they are all the type he likes, but what does it have to do with him?
Are he and Lu Wan love rivals? Or is he in competition with Chen Nianqing?
This relationship is too confusing to think about carefully.
The three of them found a seat by the window. Lu Wan and Chen Nianqing sat in one row, and Harry sat opposite them.
We had seafood today. The set meal included salt-baked seafood, a dinner roll, a large portion of king crab risotto, a salad, as well as dessert and champagne.
The neatly uniformed waiter bowed and asked, "Hello, guests, do you need me to help you share the paella?"
You know what, the young people at this table are really good-looking.
Although this combination is a bit strange, after all, the set menu is mostly for couples.
"Thank you, we can do it ourselves. Please change my wine to...lemonade." Chen Nianqing paused, turned around and asked Lu Wan, "What do you want to drink?"
"Coke!" Lu Wan's voice was crisp.
Harry looked depressed: "Can I just drink champagne?"
Lu Wan: "Two cups of iced Coke and one cup of lemonade, thank you!"
“…”
Harry shrugged and said, "Okay, he likes iced Coke too."
After all, it’s Mr. Lu’s couple drink.
Anyway, he was just thinking about it and he had to drive later, so it was not appropriate for him to drink.
The damn candlelight dinner plan has been ruined. What’s the point of having so many 1s?
It's completely useless, in every sense of the word.
Chen Nianqing picked up the bowl and shared the seafood stewed rice with Lu Wan while smiling: "You should have no dietary restrictions, right?"
"I'm not picky about food."
The plate of seafood in front of him smelled so delicious. Lu Wan felt that she could only endure it for ten minutes at most, otherwise she would die of greed.
Harry: “…”
The look in Chen Nianqing's eyes...is he flirting with President Lu?
He is indeed a male god. His expressionless face is already very attractive, and now his smile is simply amazing.
He who was sitting next to him was also shocked.
But Ms. Lu... She was looking at the king crab affectionately and very attentively.
Chen Nianqing handed the seafood rice to Lu Wan, picked up another bowl, quickly and silently filled two spoonfuls and handed it to Harry.
"Take it."
Harry: “…”
This is too double standard! ?
Why is it that Mr. Lu’s plating is so beautiful, with the shrimps all shaped in the same direction, but his is so perfunctory? ? ?
Is this really just a simple brotherhood?
After Chen Nianqing put down his chopsticks, he took the initiative to help Lu Wan pick the crab.
Harry was almost worried to death, he also wanted the crab peeled by his idol.
So angry! He obviously spends more time with Mr. Lu, so why do they seem to have a better relationship? This is not fair.
After dinner, Harry sent the two back to the hotel.
Looking at the empty back seat, he sighed. Why did he feel like he had become the driver for no reason?
It's finally over, otherwise he would be jealous of this and that and would be too busy.
It’s really sour.
——
The variety show was recorded at 3pm the next day, but the contestants arrived two hours in advance.
This time the competition system is still a two-on-two battle, but it is slightly different in that it is not randomly matched by a machine.
Instead, they choose opponents in order of ranking, starting from the highest position.
The chosen opponent cannot refuse and must accept.
Chen Nianqing, who had the highest accumulated points in several rounds of competition, was the first to step forward and choose his opponent.
Everyone knows that if they are selected by him, the probability of being eliminated in this round is very high.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Many people turned their eyes to Lu Wan, wondering if the first place winner would choose the second place winner...
It’s a strong battle, just thinking about it is exciting!
Chen Nianqing said calmly: "I choose Chen Qiao."
He didn't want Lu Wan to be eliminated, and of course, he didn't want himself to be eliminated either.
He came here to find a partner and to prevent others from finding his partner, so that comes second.
We must clarify the concepts of primary and secondary.
Chen Qiao stood up and shrugged: "OK, I accept your challenge."
"They actually chose Xiao Shen."
"This is normal. Shen Qiao is also very powerful."
"Chen Nianqing and Lu Wan are schoolmates. There is no need for them to stand on opposite sides until the last moment."
"Yeah, I don't want to fight my friends either."
The contestants were surprised, but also felt that this was normal.
The second person to be selected was Lu Wan.
She chose Rose, who was ranked fifth.
The production team evaluated each contestant, and based on the previous rounds, two of them had the strongest spatial logic.
All players choose their opponents in turn.
Half an hour later, the first group of competitions officially began recording.
The first group was very strong.
Although Chen Nianqing won beautifully, everyone felt sorry that Shen Qiao, who came in third, was eliminated.
The sixteen contestants are divided into eight groups to compete, and the winners advance directly.
The eight losers will compete again, and two will be resurrected in the end.
So far, the top ten of this competition have been decided.
The competitions of the program group are not conducted in sequence.
After all, we had to set up the props for the competition, and the recording took a total of three days. Only two groups of competitions were recorded this afternoon.
Lu Wan's group was scheduled for tomorrow morning.
On the way to the bathroom in the afternoon, Lu Wan met the assistant director of the program team.
The assistant director is a fan of Lu Buyu, and she actually likes her younger sister quite a bit, so she said with a smile, "We all think highly of you, so the most difficult task this time is on your team. It took three days just to build the props, and forty staff members worked more than ten hours a day to rush it out."
After all, the most popular contestant at the moment is the younger sister, and the audience also wants to see her, so this segment must be exciting.
The questions wouldn’t be known until the actual competition, but the props set up in the gymnasium were so large, and word got out that the contestants had vaguely guessed the questions.
"The only games that can be used on this scale are... mazes and the like."
"It's so time-consuming and laborious. I don't need to guess that the questions will definitely not be easy."
"Keep working hard, Lu Wan and Azhe."
Lu Wan: “…”
I really appreciate the program crew’s kindness.
——
The next afternoon, Lu Wan arrived at the gymnasium, the recording location of the show, on time.
Because the stadium has many seats, the number of spectators is several times that of usual times.
The entire maze covers an area of more than 800 square meters and is composed of hundreds of equilateral octagons.
Each octagon has a side length of more than one meter and a height of more than 2 meters. The maze can generate tens of millions of routes.
At the start of the competition, the guests will designate a unique route, and this is the only way out.
Not only that, but three small flags were placed in the maze.
The contestants observe the route of the maze, enter blindfolded, and must find the correct route and then get three flags.
After successfully walking out, the contestants are required to draw the route and the positions of the three flags on the map, which is considered a successful challenge.
The player who gets the most flags at the end wins. If both sides have the same number of flags, the one who takes the shortest time wins.
After the program team played the video introducing the rules, the audience was amazed.
Many people think that the reason they come to watch the recording of this program is perhaps to clearly realize how stupid they are.
Not to mention solving the problem, I didn’t even understand the question.
I don't know why it's so impressive.
The host smiled and said, "In order to let everyone know how difficult this question is, we will lower the difficulty level and invite this time's guest and two random audience members who raised their hands to try it."
After the program team reduced the difficulty of the question by 70%, all three challengers failed after half an hour.
After all, even if you remember the path, your sense of direction will completely disappear once your eyes are blindfolded.
Not to mention that the octagon that makes up the maze has only one side that can be pushed open, which causes great interference.
After the guests finished warming up, the two contestants took their positions and began to prepare.
The host smiled and asked, "Student Lu Wan, do you have anything to say?"
Lu Wan: "I think the guest experience project is great and should have been implemented in the last episode. Lu Buyu should like it."
Thousands of miles away, Lu Buyu, who was taking a break during dance practice, shuddered inexplicably.
I always feel like someone I know is saying bad things about me.
Could it be Lu Wan?
The audience burst into laughter. It seems that this fake brother and sister really...
After all, it is very difficult for ordinary people to solve the problem quickly.
In this competition, being handsome is not enough, you need to be smart.
The host made a few jokes and turned to ask another contestant: "Contestant Luo Zhe, what do you think?"
"I don't know either, but I'll try my best."
After the host made a few jokes, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
But when she announced the start of the game, everyone started to get nervous again.
Luo Zhe knew that Lu Wan had a quick reaction and a good memory.
So he had to be faster than his opponent to have a chance of winning.
After observing for five minutes, he raised his hand to signal the staff to blindfold him, and then he entered the maze first through a random entrance.
Lu Wan didn't look up, she was still looking at the map.
Because this question not only requires speed, but also requires you to get all the flags and then exit the maze.
The route is complicated and you can't make any mistakes.
Ten minutes after his opponent entered the maze, Lu Wan signaled to the staff that his observation time was over and he could start the competition blindfolded.
The staff will ask the two contestants to wear a blindfold first and then tie them up with black cloth to ensure that there is no risk of error.
It was impossible to see the road anymore.
Lu Wan covered her eyes, making her high nose and jawline more prominent.
This look makes her look very cool, and she happened to be wearing all black today, which gave her a very strong aura.
The girls sitting in the front row couldn't help but feel a little agitated. Oh my god, this look must have been done on purpose by the production crew.
It's so cool.
Just looking at it makes me feel happy and it is very enjoyable to watch.
45 minutes into the game, Luo Zhe had already got two flags.
He tried several times but failed to find the third flag. He began to get anxious and after hesitating for a moment, he retreated along the route he remembered.
Although the third side was not found, Lu Wan might not be able to find all of them.
With his eyes blindfolded, his other senses were amplified, making it difficult to remain calm for long, and he was reaching critical mass.
After Luo Zhe came out, he comforted himself that if both of them hadn't found the right person, he would still win if he was faster than the other person.
And the longer the time goes, the more blurred the memory becomes.
After Lu Wan came out, he might not be able to mark the correct route and the hiding place of the props on the map.
—
On the other side of the maze.
Lu Wan replicated the entire terrain bit by bit in his mind.
She spent a long time groping at the beginning, but she moved faster and faster later on.
When Lu Wan heard that his opponent had come out of the maze, he completely relaxed.
After all, the opponent used less time than her, and she could only win if she found three flags, so she might as well take it slow.
At the 65th minute, Lu Wan finally got the last prop, and seven minutes later, she successfully walked out of the maze.
The audience in the stands can clearly see the contestants trying to find their way through the maze.
The correct route is also marked on the big screen, with red dots indicating which direction the contestant is moving, making it clear at a glance.
Spectators are prohibited from making any noise to remind or interfere with the players' judgment.
Although more than an hour passed, every minute was tense and not boring.
Everyone was worried.
Lu Wan came out of the maze and took off the blindfold.
It was not until she drew the correct route and the location of the props on the tablet that cheers broke out from the audience.
I feel like... it's worthy of the project that the production team spent a lot of time preparing, it's so exciting and thrilling.
Both players in this game are excellent. Luo Zhe was able to get two flags and get out of the maze in such a short time. There is no doubt that he is very strong.
As for Lu Wan, when she first came on stage, the audience praised her for her great temperament and said she could definitely make a living with just her looks.
Now my thought has changed. Lu Wan is too strong.
With such a smart brain, how can you rely on your face to make a living? !
I am completely conquered by the other person's personality charm!
Regardless of gender, age or status!
Watching it live is a hundred times more exciting than watching it on TV! (? ) Today’s trip was not in vain.
__
Lu Buyu felt a little bored, the house suddenly felt empty.
He was very uncomfortable.
Professor Lu said that since his daughter was not at home, he might as well stay at the research institute on weekends, which would be just the right time to catch up on the progress.
Mr. Zhao didn't work overtime this week, but he had a party with friends and left early.
Lu Buyu didn't know which friend Mr. Zhao was going to meet.
She put on some light makeup and dressed casually, looking very casual, as if she was going for a picnic.
This kind of dress was too unusual, and he was too lazy to ask more questions.
Lu Wan...she went to record a program again, and even my aunt at home has a day off today.
It was six o'clock in the afternoon and he was still alone at home.
Lu Buyu turned over and continued lying on the sofa.
He thought about it, took out his cell phone and sent a message to Lu Wan.
[Haha, you are eliminated]
The other side replied immediately.
[How is that possible? I advanced. We are different.]
I was just feeling bored, but now I am both bored and angry.
Who could have thought that he, a national idol and the dream of millions of girls, would end up returning home alone in an empty room!
angry. Is he a left-behind child? ?
——
Zhao Jianing made an appointment with her friends to go on an outing today.
I met this cute kid at the recording site of "Mathematical Competition" last time.
A fan of that brat Lu Buyu.
Several children said they were very grateful for the Lu Buyu concert merchandise she gave them and they must treat her to a meal.
It just so happened that two of them were in the same city as her, so Zhao Jianing came out.
She seldom speaks in the WeChat group of other children, but she likes to read it very much.
In addition to chasing stars, the little girl occasionally talks about trivial things in life.
When you are in your early twenties, even complaining looks very youthful.
Zhao Jianing didn't feel that it was very stressful to be with them.
After all, the one they talked about the most was their own kid, and she was very familiar with him.
When Zhao Jianing arrived at the restaurant, the other two had already arrived.
Li Shiqian smiled and said, "Sis, since you are here, Yinyin and I will treat you to a meal, so please don't hesitate. Oh, the other people also pooled their money to buy you a gift."
Zhao Jianing: "You are too polite. You don't have to be like this."
"You'd better accept it. It's not right for people to take your things for free. It's a give and take."
Those who can catch up with the front line basically either come from a wealthy family or are very good at making money.
Zhao Jianing opened the paper bag and took a look. It was a set of high-end skin care products.
That's quite thoughtful.
"By the way, have you bought the tickets for Yu Ge's fourth concert tour?" Li Shiqian asked with a smile.
Zhao Jianing nodded. If she wanted it, she could just ask that brat for it.
However, she listened to Lu Buyu singing and watched him dancing at home every day, and it was basically no longer interesting to her.
"That's great, we can make an appointment to go together that day. You, me, and Yinyin." Li Shiqian said with a smile.
Pei Yin sighed: "If I can go, I will definitely be there."
Li Shiqian: "Why do you say that? After all, you have already bought the tickets. Is it because of what you told me last time?"
Zhao Jianing was a little confused and asked, "What's going on?"
Pei Yin didn't want to say much, thinking that this sister was much older than her and had more social experience, and might have some good suggestions. She sighed and said, "It's just... Sister, you know, although we often chase stars, we don't want others to know, because many people can't understand chasing stars, and they think it's childish and stupid, and they will subconsciously resist it, thinking that people who chase stars are not stable enough."
Zhao Jianing: “Absurdity.”
It's just a hobby, just like boys are willing to spend money to buy AJ, and some people spend money and time on games. As long as it doesn't affect others, there is no problem.
Pei Yin felt very aggrieved. He had been holding it in his heart for a long time, but now that he had opened up, he really wanted to talk.
After all, these two are netizens and have little to do with her life and work, so it is relatively safe to speak out and it will not have a bad impact.
Pei Yin has been working in the family business since graduating from university last year. She is usually under a lot of work pressure, and she feels that chasing stars is the best way to relax.
It gives her a place to rest and recharge.
Because she was afraid that others would not understand, she had always concealed the fact that she was a big fan on Weibo and a front-line station sister.
Despite being so cautious, it was still exposed. The thing she was worried about happened and was really used to make a fuss.
"On the day we first met, I watched Brother Yu's recording session in the afternoon and discussed the contract with the client in the evening. It had no impact on either side, but my cousin kept accusing me of being childish and still chasing stars. I didn't care about the company's business at all, otherwise how could I have gone to the TV station to play that day. Well, I don't know what method he used, but he also dug out my star-chasing Weibo account for all my elders to show him, just to prove that I was not doing my job properly."
Thinking back to that scene, Pei Yin felt suffocated.
The key is that the elders were convinced.
She followed up on a project that was only in the final step of signing the contract, but it was inexplicably given to her cousin.
That’s right, because she was a fan, the elders thought she was too childish and frivolous, saying that she was a girl after all and not stable enough.
But this is really strange, after all, it’s not like she just started chasing stars. It has never affected my normal work, so how come it has become a black spot?
Pei Yin: "I am not convinced, nor am I willing to accept it."
Zhao Jianing nodded after listening to him. "It's very confusing. I can understand your feelings because I have two older brothers. My parents used to favor them. No matter how much I did, they would never praise me. They hoped that I could focus on tutoring my brothers."
Pei Yin: "So what did you do later?"
"I'm not feeling well right now, but it will all pass. Tell me about the project you've been involved in, and maybe I can give you some advice or help."
Zhao Jianing had a good impression of the child. Since the other party believed her and was willing to confide in her, she could not just say a few words of comfort. She had to try her best to help.
Eye contact is a strange thing.
Besides, there's nothing wrong with being a fan of her son.
Pei Yin shrugged. "My family is in the building materials business. I used a lot of connections and worked very hard to get to Sendao. I don't know if you have heard of it. Sendao is the hotel brand that has been very popular recently. This is a large order, but my family elders said that the general manager of Sendao is a strong woman who is usually very serious and rigid. If they knew that the person in charge of the project contact was a star-chaser, they might be disappointed and feel that they can't trust it, so they gave the project to my cousin."
As a result, all her efforts of more than half a year went down the drain, and she was also questioned for not being calm enough.
It makes me sick just thinking about it.
"I know Morido. I've lived there before! Wow, you're amazing. You're worthy of being a top student." Li Shiqian was shocked.
The fan club is truly full of hidden talents.
Zhao Jianing hesitated for two seconds: "...The general manager is serious and rigid? Actually, the rumor may not be true."
"Maybe. I haven't met him either. After all, Mr. Zhao is very busy. And even if we can sign a contract with Sen Dao, it doesn't require the general manager to personally inquire about it. It's obviously an excuse for the elders to perfunctorily deal with me."
Pei Yin paused and asked again, "Sister, why would you say that... do you know Mr. Zhao?"
Zhao Jianing: "Yes, I know you. Maybe I can help you say something. If you believe me, can you show me the plan you made? Did you bring it today?"
"Of course, in my tablet!"
This sister didn't seem to be talking nonsense. Pei Yin just hesitated for a few seconds and then opened the document and handed it over.
She still has some insight into people.
Zhao Jianing spent five minutes quickly browsing the document and gave a fair evaluation: "It's pretty good and well organized. No wonder I chose to work with you."
Pei Yin has calmed down. Although this sister is enthusiastic, she may not be able to help him.
It is better not to hold out too much hope, lest you be disappointed.
She smiled and said, "Actually, I've come to terms with it. Even if I gave it to someone else this time, at least I've gained experience. I'll do better next time."
Zhao Jianing shook his head and put down the tablet: "I don't agree with what you said. Since you worked so hard to get cooperation in the early stage, you must also work hard to get yourself a chance now."
Pei Yin was stunned: "You are right, I will talk to the elders again."
Even if the chances are slim, you still have to show your attitude.
Zhao Jianing smiled and said, "Good news may appear inadvertently."
After dinner, Zhao Jianing and her friends went to a nearby private cinema to watch a movie.
We said goodbye and went home at eight o'clock in the evening.
——
Lu Buyu rolled on the sofa and turned over again.
Or he was the only one there. If Lu Wan wasn't around, he would have no way to kill his time and energy.
Hearing the door lock click, Lu Buyu quickly sat up, maintaining a dignified posture and asked: "Mr. Zhao, you are finally back!?"
Zhao Jianing responded, she looked up at the mirror in the entrance and asked casually: "Do I look rigid and inhuman?"
Lu Buyu was stunned. Is this the reason why you are wearing casual clothes today?
"Are you experiencing the early aging crisis?"
Zhao Jianing: "Say it again?"
No matter how old a woman is, she doesn't like to hear that word.
Lu Buyu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Of course not, Mr. Zhao, you look young and friendly."
After a pause, he asked again, "Do you think I look like a left-behind child today?"
"No, there are no children that big."
Lu Buyu: “…”
Okay, the conversation completely fell through. This was not the mother-son relationship he had imagined.
