Chapter 84 Chapter 84 Yin Hongxue returns to the company
Signing a contract is a complicated and lengthy process.
During the trainees' breaks from school, different parents would come to the company every day to communicate face to face with Su Junliang and Ding Ling.
Then in the evening, when everyone comes to the company after school, we go to the office together to sign the contract.
Everyone tacitly agreed not to discuss what they would do if the group didn't form, but only talked about Wu Anyi's upcoming 18th birthday.
Just before Wu Anyi's birthday, everyone met Yin Hongxue in the company after a long absence.
Ever since Yin Hongxue suddenly took sick leave, everyone's contact with Yin Hongxue suddenly cut off.
This is not to say that the trainees don't care about their friends, but Yin Hongxue's departure is obviously problematic.
Before the concert began, and even during practice and rehearsals, everyone could see that something was not right with Yin Hongxue.
Although Yin Hongxue had not been interested in many things before, she had never shown such boredom on her face like this time.
Qiu Yuge tried to inquire about Yin Hongxue's condition, but the only response he got was "too tired".
This response made everyone still a little worried, but also buried these worries deeper in their hearts.
But Li Qiang took Yin Hongxue to the hospital, and when they came back, Li Qiang was alone. Now it was impossible not to worry.
But this time when I sent a message, the only reply I got was "I'm too tired, I need to take a rest."
It was obvious that Yin Hongxue didn't want to say more.
The fatigue of □□ could be relieved by a good sleep, but the difficulties in her heart could only be figured out by Yin Hongxue herself.
So everyone could only worry and put away their concern for Yin Hongxue.
Such words of "Are you okay?" are so light and weightless. Yin Hongxue does not need such concern.
All they have to do is believe in Yin Hongxue, believe that he is tired, and that one day he will come back.
It turned out that their idea was correct.
As soon as Lu Jianian walked out of the elevator, he saw Yin Hongxue and his parents coming out of Ding Ling's office.
After seeing this, Lu Jianian immediately left his parents behind and asked them to go find Su Junliang and Ding Ling on their own, while he turned around and followed Yin Hongxue.
Seeing this, Yin Hongxue's parents left first, leaving the space to the two children.
Yin Hongxue followed Lu Jianian to the platform on the sixth floor. There was no one there. The early autumn night was chilly. The wind blew and the leaves fell down.
Some things are difficult to say on chat software, and it is even more difficult to say them in person.
But Lu Jianian still asked: "Why haven't you come for a while? Do you really want to quit?"
Yin Hongxue looked calm. Before he came, he had prepared himself for being asked these questions, and Su Junliang and Ding Ling had already asked these questions.
He gave the answer he had already prepared: "I'm just a little tired and want to rest for a while."
Lu Jianian didn't relax at all and continued to ask: "Do you need to rest for so long?"
Seeing this, Yin Hongxue knew he had to say something, so he said, "I'm just a little confused. I don't know what I'm doing."
He leaned against the wall and looked at the tall buildings not far away. Every light on them represented a warm home.
"I haven't seen my grandparents for a long time."
Yin Hongxue is not from Beijing.
Before joining Minghui Entertainment, he lived with all his relatives in his hometown. His family was not wealthy, but with so many relatives, everyone took care of each other. Although his life was not as free as he wanted, it was full of happiness and love.
He was still young when he joined Minghui Entertainment, and he didn't understand what joining Minghui Entertainment meant. He only knew that one day, a strange sister pulled him and said some strange words, and then the sister followed him to his home. Then, during a winter vacation, he and his mother went to Nancheng to learn singing and dancing for a month.
It’s actually quite interesting. There are many friends around me, and we are learning these unfamiliar things together.
The winter vacation was over soon, and Yin Hongxue thought that this strange period of time would just pass. However, before the summer vacation came, he met a group of strange people again.
After meeting this group of people, he was transferred to another school, left his hometown and relatives, and came to a strange city with his mother.
"I've always wondered what I would be doing now if I hadn't become a trainee?" Yin Hongxue turned to look at Lu Jianian with a smile on her face. "Maybe I'd find a girl I like, and we'd plan to take the college entrance exam together. Then I'd probably be sitting in a classroom doing math homework after evening self-study."
"The math problems are really difficult, so I will discuss them with her, and after we solve them, we will both be very happy."
"After class, go play basketball with your classmates."
"Instead of being like this now, where I draw a line between myself and everyone, I can't even look at them, let alone discuss homework."
Lu Jianian opened his eyes wide when he heard this, and moved closer to Yin Hongxue, lowering his voice: "Do you have someone you like?!"
Yin Hongxue: “…”
Yin Hongxue: "Did you listen to me?"
Is this what he meant?
"I do!" Lu Jianian carefully checked Yin Hongxue's expression and found that she didn't mean that. He breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "But you can't just look at this. Although we have lost a lot because of our status as trainees, we have also gained a lot."
He stretched out his fingers and began to count them one by one: "Look, we now have a certain degree of fame and a certain income, while our peers are still in school. They are working so hard just to get into a better university and find a better job. But we just need to continue step by step, and we will have a decent job and many more opportunities than them."
"Even if I can't form a group, I can still develop in the entertainment industry and I will still be an artist of the company."
“And there are so many people who support us.”
"We've gained so much, so of course we have to lose something." Lu Jianian looked at Yin Hongxue disapprovingly: "How can one have it all?"
Yin Hongxue: “…”
Yin Hongxue closed her eyes.
He was wrong. He shouldn't be sad about the passing of time.
"You're right." He patted Lu Jianian's shoulder, "I think so too."
Since you are confused, you should take big steps on the road.
One day, you will reach your destination.
"I was just too tired recently, so tired that I lost my mind and had some negative thoughts." I even began to doubt the meaning of hard work.
People as talented as Lu Yao work so hard, so what’s the point of hard work for an ordinary person like him?
but……
“It’s actually pretty good for us.”
Although there is bad, there is more good.
Lu Jianian nodded repeatedly: "That's right, isn't there a saying that says you can't glorify the path you haven't walked. You envy those classmates who didn't become trainees, but how come you don't know that they envy you too?"
*
After chatting with Yin Hongxue, Lu Jianian went to the office to find his parents with a relaxed feeling.
Although the chat with Yin Hongxue was short, he could see that Yin Hongxue had really thought it through and looked much more relaxed.
After he signed the contract with his parents, he returned to the practice room and found Yin Hongxue still there.
"You didn't leave?"
Qiao Sinian was about to greet Lu Jianian and say that Yin Hongxue was back, when he saw Lu Jianian walking up to Yin Hongxue with a natural look on his face.
He looked left and right, and finally looked at Lu Jianian: "You know he's back?"
Lu Jianian: "I saw it when I went to the office."
We chatted for a while.
Of course, there is no need to say the latter sentence.
He asked Yin Hongxue again: "I thought you went home. It's so late."
Yin Hongxue glanced at the other side and said, "Aren't we talking about Wu Anyi's birthday?"
Lu Jianian suddenly realized: "You will go, right?"
Yin Hongxue nodded: "Yes, but..." He hesitated, not knowing what to say, "Why do I feel like he seems weird?"
Lu Jianian understood, and Qiao Sinian also understood.
The two pulled Yin Hongxue aside and started sharing.
Qiao Sinian: "Wu Anyi wants to invite Lu Yao to the birthday party."
Yin Hongxue was puzzled: "Just shout, what's the big deal?"
Lu Jianian: "But he is afraid."
"..." Yin Hongxue recalled that Lu Yao did seem difficult to get along with, but he also didn't seem that difficult to get along with. "Don't be afraid, he's actually a nice guy."
Qiao Sinian: “…”
Lü Jianian: “…”
The two opened their eyes wide. They didn't expect that Yin Hongxue actually had a different opinion about Lu Yao.
But that doesn't matter.
This is not what Wu Anyi is afraid of.
"You haven't been here for a while, so you don't know that President He and President Su held two meetings for us." Qiao Sinian held up two fingers.
"Mr. He, you know, is a bit fierce." Lu Jianian gestured, "Then do you think Lu Yao can tolerate it?"
Yin Hongxue's eyes widened upon hearing this, and she asked suspiciously, "What do you mean? He's not talking to Mr. He...huh?"
Lu Jianian clapped his hands and said, "Yes! Lu Yao would not be able to bear it, so he stood up and did it. Tsk tsk tsk." Recalling the scene at that time, Lu Jianian couldn't help but be amazed.
"Ah, this..." Yin Hongxue didn't expect that such a wonderful thing would happen when she was away. "What happened after that?"
Qiao Sinian: "What can I do? Nothing happened. President Su even apologized."
"Wow." Yin Hongxue exclaimed in amazement.
There was a hint of admiration in his eyes as he looked at Lu Yao.
It's a wolf destroyer.
"So..." Qiao Sinian understood Wu Anyi's dilemma very well, "Wu Anyi is a little scared."
I was afraid that Lu Yao would say something when he went there.
But it would not be good not to invite Lu Yao.
After all, everyone is going, is Lu Yao the only one not going?
Yin Hongxue shook her head: "I think you're overthinking it. Lu Yao is not that kind of person."
Although she didn't spend much time with Lu Yao, from the few times they spent together and the one conversation they had, Yin Hongxue could feel that Lu Yao was not a person who acted without purpose.
There must be a reason for what he does or says.
He doesn't speak for no reason.
Just like Lu Yao, who everyone often jokes about as someone who answers every question, if no one asks, won’t Lu Yao say nothing?
In fact, Lu Jianian also felt so, "But you know, Wu Anyi is too well-behaved."
Wu Anyi, who is very obedient and well-behaved, has never done anything out of line.
Always stay on the established track.
For Wu Anyi, everything about Lu Yao was a strange world outside the track.
And dangerous.
Yin Hongxue looked at Wu Anyi who was standing with Cong'an, and a thought suddenly popped up in her mind, "Is Wu Anyi really scared?"
Is it because of fear that you are so hesitant?
His voice was a little soft, and Lu Jianian didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"
Yin Hongxue came back to her senses and shook her head, "Nothing."
The answer is not important.
In the end, despite Cong'an's encouragement, Wu Anyi still failed to ask Lu Yao in person. Instead, he sent a message on the chat software and received a "OK" reply.
Wu Anyi immediately shared the news with Cong'an excitedly, then informed his parents and put forward some of his own requirements for the birthday party.
So after the daily training on Friday, the trainees got on the car arranged by Mr. and Mrs. Wu to pick them up. After arriving at the banquet venue, they found that the banquet was not what they had imagined.
"Originally, there were some other adults here," Wu Anyi introduced. "But thinking about your arrival, I told my parents that it would be just us."
Mr. and Mrs. Wu stood at the door to greet the trainees and smiled at everyone.
The banquet venue was in Wu Anyi's own villa. Although it was named as a villa like the company dormitory, the interior was completely different.
Wu Anyi's villa has walls, gardens, swimming pools, winding paths and a fragrant sunroom.
Although Lu Yao had no concept of money, he knew that in Beijing, where every inch of land was valuable, owning such a residence must mean a considerable net worth.
Jiang Mu was also amazed.
He only knew that Wu Anyi's family was rich, but he didn't expect that Wu Anyi's family was so rich.
Looking at Wu's mother, who was wearing a skirt and had a gentle expression, what she exuded was not a kind glow, but the fragrance of money.
Originally, Wu's parents had made special arrangements for their only son's coming-of-age ceremony. Not only did they want to use it to introduce Wu Anyi to business partners, but they also wanted to communicate with close associates. However, Wu Anyi rarely made requests, so the two changed their plans, canceling the original banquet and replacing it with a family dinner.
So now the only people in the villa are Wu's father and mother, and Wu Anyi's sister and cousin.
In order to avoid making everyone feel restrained, after a few simple words, Wu's father and mother took the two sisters upstairs, leaving the place for the trainees.
Without the adults around, everyone felt a lot more relaxed and immediately started chatting around Wu Anyi.
While saying "Wu Anyi, your house is so big", I asked "You actually have a younger sister", and then exclaimed at the deliciousness of the dishes prepared by the chefs of star-rated restaurants on the table. It really refreshed my understanding of the friends around me.
After dinner, Wu Anyi took everyone to visit the villa, which opened everyone's eyes.
It's just like those classic mansions you see on TV.
Whatever is on TV, is also here.
What's not on TV is here.
It turns out that Brother Fu is by my side.
Huang Xi circled Wu Anyi several times, and finally sighed, "So this is Mr. Wu? My apologies."
The only two people who were not so surprised were Luo Wenbo and Cong'an.
Because these two families have some assets, they can barely be considered partners with the Wu family and have some business dealings.
Wang Mingzhi couldn't help but pull Luo Wenbo aside and ask, "Is Wu Anyi's family so rich?"
Luo Wenbo nodded: "Yes, much richer than mine and Cong'an's combined."
Wang Mingzhi opened his eyes wide.
He is so rich, how come no one has found out?
Wang Mingzhi was shocked and puzzled.
After the meal, everyone gave each other birthday gifts, edited a Weibo post and sent it to the staff. At Wu Anyi's invitation, they did not go home, but stayed here directly.
I can only say that the villa is indeed large. Generally, smaller villas do not have so many guest rooms.
They watched movies in the audio-visual room, played games in the game room, and swam in the swimming pool. There were no cameras and no fans. Everyone had a very happy 18th birthday for Wu Anyi.
Occasionally, when passing by the audio-visual hall, Yin Hongxue saw Lu Yao watching a movie attentively inside, and her heart couldn't help but ached.
How could someone still be working so hard in secret at this time? And he was the only one who knew about this?
Looking at Cong'an who was happily watching the movie next to him, Yin Hongxue became frightened and rushed into the audio-visual room and snatched the remote control.
"Let's watch a horror movie!"
Late night! At the cinema! What could be more suitable than a horror movie?
there is none left!
Yin Hongxue pulled everyone in one by one and carefully selected a ghost movie that was said to be very scary.
Unfortunately, although he scared everyone, the person he really wanted to scare didn't move at all, and even looked a little pensive, as if he was thinking whether the expressions of ghosts in movies could be used on stage.
I’m convinced!
Why are there such hardworking people in the world?
Yin Hongxue left the table angrily and firmly denied Cong An's repeated questioning, "Are you scared?"
Afraid? He is not afraid!
Playing games and watching movies, everyone was having a great time.
When the alarm clock rang at twelve o'clock, Lu Yao walked around the crowded trainees on time, left the audio-visual room where he had stayed for two hours, and prepared to go back to the guest room to rest.
As soon as I went up to the first floor, I saw Wang Mingzhi outside through the floor-to-ceiling window.
Holding the cell phone, I don’t know what he was doing with Wu Anyi’s cousin.
Hearing the noise, Wu Anyi's cousin turned around and was startled when she saw Lu Yao. She hurriedly said hello and ran away.
Wang Mingzhi rolled his eyes fiercely, walked over and stopped in front of Lu Yao.
"Did you see it?"
"..." Lu Yao wasn't sure what Wang Mingzhi didn't want to be seen. "Are you referring to exchanging contact information with Wu Anyi's sister?"
Wang Mingzhi: "You really saw it."
Wang Mingzhi's expression kept changing, and it was obvious that he was engaged in complex psychological activities.
Finally, he stared at Lu Yao fiercely and said, "Don't tell anyone!"
Lu Yao: “…”
"Why should I tell anyone?"
Wang Mingzhi snorted coldly and pointed at Lu Yao, "You'd better not."
Lu Yao: “…”
Wang Mingzhi seemed to not understand what people were saying.
Lu Yao: "This kind of communication is meaningless. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, Lu Yao turned and went upstairs, no longer paying attention to the voice of Wang Mingzhi behind him who was deliberately lowering his voice calling his name.

After Wu Anyi’s birthday, the recording of his debut variety show was getting closer, but what was even closer was the final personal strength assessment.
The assessment time was sent to the group early, starting from nine o'clock in the morning on Sunday. Not only the usual teachers were present, but also all the company's leaders, and... seniors from four generations.
As for why there are only four generations and no first, second, or third generations, after Cang Zizhen's judgment, it is probably because they are all too busy, and only the fourth generation has time to watch the assessment of this group of trainees.
Of course, they only dared to say these words in private and never dared to express them openly.
They were not worried at all if it was just the teacher's assessment, but they would be a little nervous if it came to the boss's assessment. And now there are four more generations of senior brothers who they have never had before. Indeed, the feeling of making their debut has come up all of a sudden.
Everyone gathered in Practice Room 2. The practice room, which usually seemed a bit empty, was crowded for the first time today.
In addition to the row of staff and cameramen in front of the mirror, the tables in front of them and on both sides are also densely packed. At a glance, there are at least twenty tables, which means at least twenty people.
The seats for the trainees were in the corners on the edge, with two long sofas. Everyone squeezed in, barely managing to fit on the sofas.
Finally, Lu Yao looked at the small empty space squeezed out from An, silently moved away from this corner, and sat on the ground.
Seeing this, Cong'an also sat on the ground. The ground was nice, spacious and comfortable. He could sit however he wanted.
Bai You also sat on the ground. Cang Zizhen looked at it and felt that the ground seemed to be better, so he also sat down on the ground.
So, when Ding Ling brought a group of people to the practice room, what she saw was that the trainees did not sit on the sofas, but sat on the floor.
Ding Ling:......
Where did this problem come from?
In front of all the company leaders and the fourth-generation artists, Ding Ling said nothing, walked into the practice room silently, and motioned for everyone to sit in their respective seats.
The seven members of the fourth generation group sat behind a table in front of a mirror, the company leaders sat on the right, and the teachers sat on the left.
The overall structure is semi-enclosed, leaving the middle empty.
Lu Yao silently looked at everyone who came in.
The fourth-generation group of Minghui Entertainment is named GRAY.ISLAND, which literally means gray island. It means that the members will use their own colors and all the supporting fans to add different colors to the island.
But this name is too long and difficult to pronounce, so fans usually call it Grey Island, which sounds like a place name.
The fans of GRAY.ISLAND are called GRAY, which is transliterated as Gray in Chinese. However, Minghui Entertainment used some clever ideas and changed the name to Grey to highlight the female identity of the fan group. Not only does it sound like a place name, it also sounds tacky.
Therefore, the fourth-generation group of Minghui Entertainment is named Gray Island and the fans are called Gray.
It's rustic and very consistent with the identity of a gray girl.
The seven members of the fourth-generation group are Sheng Yushu, the captain and singer, Wu Yan, the RAP and dance leader, Si Quan, the dancer, Che Zhesheng, the singer, Su Feiyu, the RAP leader, Ye Gaoming, and Jing Rui, who can sing and dance. The above order is the debut order of Grey Island, and they appear in every occasion where Grey Island appears.
Even now.
With Sheng Yushu as the center, the remaining six people sat on Sheng Yushu's left and right according to their ranking. It must be said that the ranking was really unforgettable.
The fifth generation of trainees had met their seniors from different generations in the annual sports meets and family concerts, but this was the first time that Lu Yao saw his seniors in person.
Similarly, these people from the fourth generation also saw Lu Yao for the first time.
