The next day, at Beijing No. 1 High School.
"Wow, Mingyue, Han Yan is releasing a new song!" Cheng Yi shook Qin Mingyue's arm and said excitedly.
Qin Mingyue's eyes brightened upon hearing this, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Really?! He hasn't released a new song in half a year!"
Her only idol is Han Yan.
"Of course it's true! It's been officially announced on Weibo, and it's said that the female lead in the new song's music video is a non-celebrity." Cheng Yi handed her the phone.
Qin Mingyue frowned and looked up at her phone screen. "An ordinary person? Where did you get this information from?"
She's been busy with Tsinghua University's independent admissions exam lately and hasn't been paying much attention to Han Yan's news.
Cheng Yi nodded. "Yes, I have a cousin who works at Huangtian Entertainment. She told me about it. I remember Huangtian Entertainment is under your family's company, isn't it?"
Qin Mingyue's eyes flickered slightly, and she gave a soft "hmm".
Cheng Yi, resting her chin on her hand, suddenly said, "Mingyue, you could be the female lead in this music video!"
Lu Wenyuan happened to pass by and said sarcastically, "That depends on whether King Han is willing to let her be the female lead."
Cheng Yi frowned and retorted, "Huangtian Entertainment belongs to the Mingyue family. If she asks, can Han Yan refuse?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Wenyuan raised an eyebrow and looked up at Qin Mingyue, "That's Qin Chu's uncle's company, what does it have to do with you?"
Qin Mingyue's face stiffened, and she said coldly, "I never said I was going to be one. Mind your own business."
Lu Wenyuan shrugged and returned to her seat.
Cheng Yi was completely confused. She turned to Qin Mingyue and asked in a low voice, "What does Lu Wenyuan mean? Are you related to her?"
Qin Mingyue suppressed her agitation and pursed her lips, "Mm."
Seeing that she didn't seem to want to say more, Cheng Yi wisely shut her mouth and continued scrolling through Weibo.
......
Lu Wenyuan and Qin Mingyue are cousins.
Grandpa Qin has three children: his eldest son, Qin Mingyue's father, Qin Mo; his second son, Qin Chu, who was born out of wedlock; and his youngest daughter, Lu Wenyuan's mother, Qin Yao.
Qin Yao died of illness when Lu Wenyuan was four or five years old. At that time, Lu Yuanshen was busy with work and rarely cared about her, so Old Master Qin simply took her back to the capital and raised her himself.
Qin Mingyue was originally the only little princess in the family, but after Lu Wenyuan came, she directly took away the love and care that Old Master Qin and Qin Mo had for her.
Therefore, she has disliked her cousin Lu Wenyuan since she was a child, and would pretend not to know her at school.

Inside the study of the Qin family's old residence.
Old Master Qin stared sharply at the man who had disappeared for almost a month and asked in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you? Where did the real Qin Chu go?"
Qin Chu crossed his legs, leaned back on the sofa, and casually draped his arms. "Tsk, looks like you already knew?"
Old Master Qin frowned, a chill creeping into his eyes. "What exactly do you want?"
Qin Chu toyed with the cigarette between his fingers and said casually, "Let me tell you the truth. Your son, Qin Chu, died in M Continent more than ten years ago. As for me, I think you should have heard of the reclusive family."
Upon hearing this, Qin Laozi's pupils suddenly contracted. "You're from a reclusive family? What is your purpose in transforming into his appearance and coming to the Qin family?"
Qin Chu's dark eyes narrowed slightly as he slowly said, "Since you know, that makes things easier. Don't worry, I only need the identity of Qin Chu; I won't do anything to your Qin family."
Old Master Qin's expression turned solemn, and his probing gaze fell on him. "Did you kill Qin Chu?"
Qin Chu's eyes deepened, and she curled her lips into a smile. "No, it was a car accident. You can look it up yourself."
"Let's make a deal."
Old Master Qin's eyelids twitched, and his lips pursed slightly. "What kind of deal?"
Qin Chu slightly raised his chin and said calmly, "Haven't you Qin family always wanted to get in touch with the arms dealers in the Independent Continent? I can help you."
Old Master Qin's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment's thought, he said, "Your conditions."
Qin Chu chuckled lightly and casually tossed the cigarette in his hand onto the table. "It's simple, I still have a use for the identity of Qin Chu."
Old Master Qin rubbed his cane with his fingers, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said in a deep voice, "Okay."
......
"Mom, I'm home." Qin Mingyue walked in through the door with her bag on her back. Seeing the busy servants, she asked, "Is Dad back from his business trip?"
Huo Shu adjusted her shawl, pulled her aside, and whispered, "No, your uncle is back."
A hint of surprise flashed in Qin Mingyue's eyes as she asked, puzzled, "Didn't he suddenly disappear? How come he's back?"
Huo Shu frowned. "I don't know. I'm in your grandfather's study right now."
Just as Qin Mingyue was about to speak, Qin Chu walked over unhurriedly, "Uncle."
Huo Shu coughed lightly and asked with a smile, "Leaving so soon? Aren't you going to stay for a meal?"
Qin Chu put his hands in his pockets and said calmly, "Next time, I have something to do."
Qin Mingyue's eyes flickered slightly. She bit her lip and said softly, "Um, Uncle, I heard that Han Yan is going to use a non-celebrity as the female lead in his music video this time..."
Qin Chu raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this, his dark eyes revealing no emotion. "What, you want to be one?"
Qin Mingyue lowered her eyelids and gave a faint "hmm".
Qin Chu clicked his tongue and said casually, "Sure."
Qin Mingyue raised her head, a hint of joy appearing in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, "Thank you, Uncle."
She was prepared to be rejected, but she didn't expect her uncle to be so easy to talk to.
After Qin Chu left, Huo Shu frowned slightly and looked at the girl next to her, "Why would you want to be the female lead in a music video?"
Qin Mingyue couldn't hide her excitement and joy. "Han Yan is my idol. Mom, don't worry about it."
Huo Shu rubbed her temples and said helplessly, "Fine."

"The higher-ups have given the order: the female lead for this music video has been decided!" Teng Yue stormed in, phone in hand, fuming.
Upon hearing this, Han Yan's eyes widened with deep surprise, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"
Teng Yue rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache. "I heard she's the president's niece."
He sighed and continued, "I can only apologize to the master this time."
Han Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment's thought, he said, "What if I appear in the music video as Ye Yu?"
"This would absolutely crush everything!" Teng Yue's eyes brightened a bit, then he hesitated, thinking of something, "But the Great God probably wouldn't agree, right?"
Han Yan crossed his arms and leaned back on the sofa. "We can not show their faces, we can use a long shot or something."
"Wow, that's great, keep it a secret." Teng Yue sat down next to him and urged, "Why don't you ask the expert?"
Han Yan nodded and leaned over to pick up his phone from the table.
He lowered his eyelids, his fingers tapping on his phone screen, which glowed softly: [There's a problem with the MV casting. Could you participate in the shoot as Night Rain? You don't need to show your face.]
Shi Miao quickly replied: 【Okay, sure.】
A faint smile played in Han Yan's eyes as he replied: 【Thanks.】
"Holy crap, this expert is so easy to talk to!" Teng Yue slapped his thigh excitedly after seeing Shi Miao's reply.
Han Yan lowered his eyelashes slightly and responded softly, "Mm."
"I'll get this done right now!" Teng Yue stood up abruptly and strode out.
