Lu Zhengye had just stepped out of the restaurant when his phone rang.
He took it out and glanced at it, then hung up immediately.
Wei Qing asked, "Is it an advertising call?"
"no."
"Whose is that?"
Lu Zheng, without batting an eye, uttered a name, "Jiang Yanqi's."
"What?!" Wei Qing immediately flew into a rage, his face filled with undisguised anger. "That's even worse than a spam call! Where did she get your phone number?"
Lu Zhengye rubbed his temples in frustration. "I don't know."
The phone rang again, but Lu Zhengye hung up without changing his expression.
They called back as soon as I hung up, they were persistent.
Wei Qing angrily retorted, "Is she sick in the head?"
Lu Zhengye didn't say anything and hung up again.
This time, they didn't call back immediately; instead, they sent a message.
Lu Zhengye looked at it.
"Ah Ye, I've also come to Lucheng. I'll be performing on stage as a special guest at the Spring Festival Gala soon. I've reserved a VIP seat for you. If you don't come, I won't go on stage."
Lu Zhengye got into the car without saying a word.
As soon as Wei Qing sat in the passenger seat, he took out his computer and searched for Jiang Yanqi.
She is now a well-known young singer in Country D, so a lot of information popped up at once.
Wei Qing directly filtered out those that were obviously useless.
He noticed a comment posted by a netizen.
Rumor has it that Jiang Yanqi will be traveling to Country A, and will most likely attend the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve.
Country A's Spring Festival Gala is recorded every year at a fixed venue in Lucheng.
This news didn't attract much attention, but based on the phone call he had just received, Wei Qing guessed that it was probably true.
"Boss, Jiang Yanqi has arrived in Lucheng."
Lu Zhengye closed his eyes to rest. "I know, she just texted me."
"Let's ignore her and just go home and get some sleep."
Lu Zhengye rested his hand on the windowsill, his index finger tapping idly.
He suddenly said, "Let's go take a look."
Wei Qing stared wide-eyed in disbelief, wanting to say something but ultimately choosing to remain silent.
However, he turned around, picked up his phone, and typed a message for Lin Yusheng.
Wei Qing: "Disgusting, absolutely disgusting! If you don't come back today, just wait for my boss to be taken away by someone else!!!"
Meanwhile, Lin Yusheng, who had just returned to her hotel and finished showering, was left speechless.
Lin Yu-sheng: "Confess and you will be treated leniently; resist and you will be punished severely."
Wei Qing: "Do you know Jiang Yanqi?"
Lin Yusheng: "I know, a musician from Country D."
Wei Qing said that Jiang Yanqi was born on the Island of the Dead Slaves, and that both her parents were criminals.
She and Lu Zhengye were about the same age and could be said to have grown up together.
Later, she apprenticed with a master on the island of the Dead Slave and studied music.
After her musical talent was awakened, she dreamed of escaping the island of slaves and bringing her music to the world.
Lu Zhengye worked hard for several years to help her realize her dream, and finally removed all traces of her life on the Island of the Dead and gave her a fake identity.
However, she later became enamored with the outside world's glamour and the status of a musician. Fearing that Lu Zhengye would implicate her, she severed all ties with him and never contacted him again, nor did she ever return to Wangnu Island.
Wei Qing: "Now, I don't know what's gotten into the boss, he actually agreed to that ingrate's request to go to the Spring Festival Gala to watch her perform. Damn it."
A tremendous sense of crisis rose in Lin Yusheng's heart.
She typed Jiang Yanqi's name into her browser and discovered that her music was really popular.
She can still hear her songs on the random playlist on her phone.
No, she wouldn't let someone take her things away.
She immediately booked a flight back to Lucheng.
The plane will take off in an hour and is expected to arrive in two and a half hours. Perhaps there will still be a chance to spend the New Year with Lu Zhengye.
There was no time to lose. Lin Yusheng hadn't brought anything with her except a bag containing some cosmetics. She couldn't afford to lose to her rival.
She originally wanted to tell Pei Shushu.
But fearing she was taking a shower and would nag on and on after finding out she was going back to Lucheng, I simply kept quiet.
She disguised herself and then took a taxi directly to the airport.
Wei Qing's messages kept coming in.
"Although I don't like you being around the boss either, you're definitely not as awful as her."
"By the way, you don't need to be jealous or anything. Back then, the eldest brother was quite young, and his relationship with her was purely platonic; they didn't even touch hands."
Lin Yusheng smiled.
Lin Yusheng: "Thank you."
She took a picture in the taxi.
Lin Yusheng: "Keep this a secret on the way back. I want to see who can snatch someone from my hands."
...
As soon as Lu Zhengye's car stopped at the entrance of the Spring Festival Gala recording venue, a girl stared intently at him.
Wei Qing got out of the car and opened the car door for Lu Zhengye.
Lu Zhengye looked at Wei Qing, who had a calm expression, and said, "Aren't you going to try to persuade me?"
Normally, Wei Qing would jump up and down in a panic whenever he heard Jiang Yanqi's name, so why wasn't he stopping him this time?
Wei Qing said with a forced smile, "I know I am insignificant and have no influence, so I cannot persuade President Lu."
"You're being sarcastic. Believe me or not, I'll make you work all night on New Year's Eve."
Wei Qing quickly gestured for him to shut up.
At this moment, the girl looked at her phone, then at Lu Zhengye, and then excitedly walked over.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Lu? My name is Li Xia, and I'm Sister Jiang's assistant. She specifically asked me to wait for you here. Please follow me."
Lu Zhengye and Wei Qing followed her.
Jiang Yanqi seemed to know Lu Zhengye very well, even leaving two seats for him, knowing that Lu Zhengye would definitely be with Wei Qing.
The Spring Festival Gala was broadcast live in its entirety until around midnight, and then it was replayed after midnight.
After Li Xia and Lu Zhengye sat down, they immediately ran backstage to tell Jiang Yanqi.
"Really? He really came?"
Li Xia: "It's absolutely true, he's just as handsome as in the photos you gave me."
Jiang Yanqi's delicate face was filled with excitement and joy.
She held Li Xia's hand, tears welling up in her eyes, "I knew he still loved me."
"Of course, after hearing your story, I think you two are a match made in heaven."
Jiang Yanqi's smile slowly froze. "But I treated him like that before."
"Don't protagonists always have to go through countless hardships to achieve their goals? Sister Jiang, you can rest assured. I think President Lu is also looking forward to seeing you."
Jiang Yanqi was comforted by Li Xia and gradually relaxed.
She whispered something in Li Xia's ear, and then Li Xia laughed and ran away.
Jiang Yanqi suppressed her overwhelming joy, closed her eyes, and went over the lyrics again. She was the final performer and was going to sing and play an instrument.
Ah Ye, I've come to see you, brimming with glory.
...
Lu Zheng waited patiently until the end, while Wei Qing was anxious and on tenterhooks.
It was finally Jiang Yanqi's turn.
She was wearing a white dress. The room was air-conditioned, and her long, straight legs could be seen through the thin skirt.
The audience cheered.
In their hearts, Jiang Yanqi is a musical genius and the epitome of gentleness.
