Chapter 61 Hug me, okay?
In the special audience seats.
Lu Yanzhi looked at the woman on the stage, but what came to mind was a scene from many years ago.
The Lu family's transformation was not easy.
Especially considering it's a transformation from a traditional industry to a high-tech industry.
Many years ago, on the night he made up his mind, he knew that he would have a hard time for many years to come.
Fortunately, Nian was sometimes by his side during that time.
365 days a year, they travel to various cities and even countries.
I remember that winter when they went to country Z for negotiations, only to find it was a trap.
Fortunately, they managed to extricate themselves in time, but they could only escape by boat.
He still remembers that winter was very cold, and the sea was rough and turbulent when they were escaping.
Because it was an escape, the conditions on the ship were not good.
There was no signal at sea, and the future was uncertain.
During the 12-hour ferry ride, the only people they could completely trust were each other.
It's cold at sea.
The two of them huddled in the cabin, shivering with cold even though they were wrapped in all their clothes and blankets.
Looking at her lips, which were slightly purple from the cold, he knew he wasn't much better off.
At that time, he felt only hatred—hatred for falling into the trap, hatred for not being strong enough, and hatred for having to drag her down with him.
She seemed to notice that something was wrong with him, so she took his hand.
"Ah Zhi, I'm so cold." She spoke, interrupting his emotions and forcing him to think. She asked, "Are you cold?"
He looked at her and nodded.
She understood him and knew that comforting him wouldn't help, so she tried to distract him.
He knew that if he could successfully reach the shore in 12 hours, everything would be alright.
But if they cannot, then they will perish at sea.
The waiting, suspicion, worry, and anxiety during this period are very difficult to endure.
But just then, she smiled and leaned closer to him: "Can you hug me?"
She said, "If the two of us lean against each other, we might not be cold anymore."
Without hesitation, he hugged her.
Snow began to fall on the sea outside the cabin, and seagulls flew by in the winter, their cooing cries echoing through the air.
Outside the small porthole, the world was a cold, grayish-blue expanse.
They huddled together under the covers in the swaying cabin, with only each other left.
He still remembers her scent back then; the fragrance of her hair still lingers in his nostrils.
She nestled in his arms, so small, yet she brought him peace of mind.
Two hearts were pressed together, beating at the same time.
Suddenly, he no longer felt cold.
He kissed her forehead and said, "Everything will be alright."
She gave a muffled "hmm" in his arms.
It made his heart feel exceptionally at ease.
...
on site.
Huo Junhui's eyes reddened, and Huo Er was already whimpering like a puppy, wiping away his tears.
Huo Junhui couldn't help but pat her younger brother.
"Can you please stop making noise?" Huo Junhui complained.
"But it's really so touching." Huo Er turned around and looked at his older sister with teary eyes. "Sister, please don't hit me, boohoo."
Huo Junhui rolled her eyes: "I just patted you on the shoulder."
"Oh... I automatically assume you hit me." Huo Er said with teary eyes, "I heard that all the contestants who came to sing were their own original songs. Although there are special judges, they only provide some help. The contestants mainly create their own songs."
"What did she go through to write this song, sob sob..."
Huo Er whispered behind him, but Lu Yanzhi had already heard what he said.
Lu Yanzhi looked at the woman singing on the stage.
I remember her stage was amazing during the first live broadcast of "The Voice of China".
And then there were her various behaviors at the charity gala...
indeed.
What kind of trials and tribulations must a woman endure to achieve this level?
She sat there, looking independent and strong, and she didn't seem to need anyone's help; she could handle everything perfectly well.
Yet, for some reason, it makes one feel sorry for them.
The addition of light rock subtly diminishes the song's sadness, perhaps reflecting her current state of mind, having weathered many storms, and now speaking of the past with detachment.
It doesn't have a desperate, strained sound, yet it can keep people tossing and turning in the middle of the night whenever they hear it.
Lu Yanzhi couldn't help but glance at Fu Jinyan, who was standing nearby below the stage.
Is Fu Jinyan the person who brought Yining to where it is today?
The lights were cold and quiet. While everyone was immersed in the moment, Han Wei avoided the camera and went to the entrance of the passageway, constantly sending voice messages.
Hw: Didn't you say before that Yining couldn't handle the old man? How come she's here now?
Tu Dao Le: Who knows what she said to the old man in the villa's tea room that day? Later, after we returned to the old house, although the old man didn't specifically mention me, he did say that he wouldn't interfere in the affairs of the three of us brothers from now on.
Hw: So how do we put her in her place now? I can't swallow the anger of having the price inflated at the charity auction gala!
Tu Dao Le: Fu San hasn't completely shaken me off yet. I'll think of another way to see if I can bring the boss in too.
Hw: He might not help you.
Tu Dao Le: I'll give it a try first. Although the eldest brother has the upper hand among the three of us and has been watching me fight with the third brother, he's not stupid if the situation changes.
Tu Dao Le: Don't worry, I'm always on your side. I admire your ruthless nature; you'll get what you want, and as for the methods, as long as they work, who cares?
Hw: What about this one? Was the video and audio quality lowered?
Tu Dao Le: Don't worry.
Looking at the message she received on her phone, Han Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked up at the filming equipment not far away, and a thought struck her.
Recently, she was so angry with Yining that she almost forgot her initial strategy against him.
She still has the leverage over the other party's miscarriage, and now with the added charge of fraudulent donations, destroying Yining would be a piece of cake for her!
With that thought in mind, Han Wei walked out from the corner of the passageway and into the backstage lobby.
Sitting on the sofa, she looked at the camera and wiped away her tears.
Seeing her like this, the host immediately comforted her.
Han Wei shook her head and said firmly, "Hearing this story really moved me. It reminded me of many things from the past. Yining is truly amazing!"
Li Mengyu felt like the sun had risen in the west; how could Han Wei actually praise Yining?
When the host asked again, Han Wei didn't answer, but just watched the live broadcast with tears in her eyes.
She wants to suppress Yining on one hand, and use Yining for publicity on the other.
No matter how good Yining is, she can only ever be her stepping stone!
The higher Yining stood, the more steadily she supported Han Wei!
When the time is right, she will use the leverage she has over the other party to crush them into the mud.
Thinking of this, Han Wei wiped away her tears again.
He revealed that classic "beautiful, strong, and tragic" expression.
And after the masked woman finished her song on stage, she led the applause.
