In the CEO's office on the top floor of Yunxiao, the atmosphere was stagnant and heavy.

Lu Xiao sat at the table reading documents. His gentle demeanor and movements seemed no different from usual, except that his eyes were exceptionally cold.

Two men in suits stood next to the desk, neither of them daring to raise their heads. The office was so silent that they could only hear their own nervous heartbeats like drums.

The two were senior executives of the group and were much older than Lu Xiao. However, they were still overwhelmed by Lu Xiao's natural aura of a superior and dared not to show any anger.

They knew very well that Lu Xiao was annoyed.

"Mr. Lu...we shouldn't have leaked the information about this bidding to your uncle. We won't do that again next time."

An executive said timidly, breaking the dull silence.

Lu Xiao raised his eyes to look at him, his lips still curved, but his expression was so cold that it made people shiver: "Please remember, I don't have an uncle. Now the Lu family is just me."

"As for whether there will be a next time... I think the answer is up to you."

"Which one is faster, you and your wives and children, joining those people, or I am faster? You can decide for yourself."

The executives shuddered, broke out in cold sweat, and their faces turned ashen.

Lu Xiao seemed a little tired, pinched his brow and said, "Let's go."

They seemed to want to explain, but after looking at each other, no one dared to speak and they stood stiffly in front of the desk without moving.

Lu Xiao glanced at the assistant next to him, and Special Assistant Min understood what he meant and immediately politely asked the two of them to leave the office.

He closed the door for Lu Xiao, and considerately walked out, leaving Lu Xiao alone.

The room was cold and silent, and Lu Xiao felt a little breathless.

He quickly calmed down, adjusted himself back to work, and continued to process the documents.

“Buzz——”

The phone vibrated, Lu Xiao looked up and saw a message notification from Shen Ci on the screen.

He clicked on it and found a song played and sung. The voice was clear and melodious, a young man's voice, and it was obvious that it was sung by Shen Ci himself.

"Cause there's still too long to the weekend."

“Too long till I drown in your hands. ”

“…”

Lu Xiao's eyes became softer and softer, and he even tapped his fingertips lightly on the table to the rhythm of the music.

The not-so-perfect song came to an end. Lu Xiao stroked Shen Ci's portrait on the screen of his mobile phone, and his depressed mood eased a lot.

This little guy always pleases him.

Shen Ci liked him to laugh the most, so he probably sent this recording to make himself happier. Lu Xiao looked through the emoticons that came with the app, found the most similar one [smiley] and sent it over.

Seeing that Shen Ci didn't move, Lu Xiao thought for a moment and added, "It sounds very nice."

This time, Shen Ci replied almost immediately: "I think it's pretty good too, so I sent it to my uncle!"

"Uncle, don't just focus on work, remember to eat well. You must take good care of your health!"

"I'm going to practice too. When I can sing better, I'll sing for my uncle!"

He typed so fast that Lu Xiao could hardly keep up. When he came to his senses, Shen Ci was already saying goodbye.

Lu Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He typed "OK" and sent it, then put down his phone.

This little episode made him feel happier and the lengthy and complicated documents in his hands became easier to read.

***

In the next two days, because Brother Zhang had explained that the dancing and movement might be modified after discussion with the professional singers and dancers, Shen Ci just kept practicing singing with Yang Xi and did not practice dancing.

Yang Xi is a young musician who has won many major music awards and is also an excellent music teacher. He transformed complex music theory knowledge into easy-to-understand methods and techniques to teach Shen Ci. In two days, Shen Ci not only learned the songs to perform, but also improved his overall singing level.

Yang Xing played the keyboard while Shen Ci practiced the last recital of the day. After finishing, Yang Xing performed a "thunderous applause" on his own.

"Excellent! Your learning ability is really strong!"

He praised her generously, and Shen Ci made a face at him and laughed heartily. The two of them were a little reserved and awkward when they first sat together in the studio, but later they were able to cooperate tacitly and secretly eat spicy noodles in the lounge without the knowledge of their agent. Their relationship became much closer in just two days.

Today, Brother Zhang and Shen Ci announced in advance that they would release the final version of the song and dance, and after practicing the song, they hurried to the practice room in the afternoon to wait. Shen Ci did not dare to delay, and after having lunch with Yang Xi, he went to the practice room by himself.

To his surprise, there was already someone in the practice room.

The three girls who were practicing heard the door ring, turned around and saw Shen Ci, and smiled kindly: "It's Shen Ci, hello."

"Ah... hello, hello!" Shen Ci responded quickly.

They were wearing simple and convenient sports shorts and were sweating profusely from dancing. They took the opportunity to take a break when Shen Ci came in.

Shen Ci diligently went to the corner to fetch them some mineral water and distributed it to them: "You girls are so hardworking! Are you members of White?"

The three girls looked at each other and smiled in surprise: "You actually know us?"

Shen Ci: "Yes, you are so pretty and good-looking, and your skin is as white as milk as your group name. I must have a photographic memory. I remember your original show was "Wonderful Playground"? "

"Wonderful Playground" is that kindergarten program... The reason why Shen Ci remembered them was actually because he often opened the program schedule and knew the performers by heart.

The girl with short hair nodded and said, "Yes, we were just practicing that."

Shen Ci was a little surprised. In that show, everyone wore thick animal costumes to sing and dance, so the movements were very simple. Otherwise, Shen Ci would not have thought that a vase like him could dance.

It's such a simple movement, but they sacrificed their rest time to practice it seriously?

Perhaps his surprise was too obvious, the girl with the ponytail smiled playfully: "I know what you are going to say. People who have learned dancing since elementary school will tell you that even the simplest moves require thousands of repetitions of practice."

"And there's nothing wrong with trying hard."

"Our group is very cool. It's not easy to get a chance to perform on stage, so we must take it seriously."

"Maybe once it's aired, we'll become famous!"

"Hahaha, that's right..."

The three young girls were laughing together. Shen Ci sat aside holding an open bottle of mineral water, feeling somewhat moved.

They are indeed very cold, otherwise they would not be assigned such a meaningless program. But they still practice very hard, do not give up any opportunity, and are optimistic and positive.

Such artists will surely soar to success as long as they have the opportunity.

Shen Ci, who had been protected for a long time in the castle walls, was touched. He put down the water and said with determination: "You are so amazing! I also want to work hard with you!"

Ten minutes later, Shen Ci regretted it.

Shen Ci, who was so tired that he lay motionless on the ground, looked like a dried salted fish with a look of despair on his face.

Shen Ci: "Is this "Wonderful Playground" so difficult?"

"I forgot to tell you, we have re-choreographed the dance for this show with the dance teacher, hahaha..."

The three girls were almost laughing crazy and stopped practicing. They went to take photos with Xianyu Shenci one after another.

Shen Ci followed the principle of "three days of fishing and two days of drying the nets", and before he had learned many moves, the lunch break was over.

A lot of people gradually came to the practice room. Shen Ci, who was sitting in the corner drinking water, took a quick look and found that these seemed to be all the performers in his and Bai Ziwei's shows?

Among them, he also discovered the girl Xia Qingqing who will be filming a youth love MV with him. She is only 18 years old and was the center of a talent show.

She looked around and saw Shen Ci, then ran over, greeted him with a smile, and asked for his advice.

Shen Ci smiled stiffly: ...I don’t know who will teach whom.

Some people don't want to waste time waiting and have already started practicing dancing, including some big names in singing and dancing.

Regardless of whether it was Liang or Hong, these people were much better dancers than Shen Ci, yet they were still seizing the opportunity to practice. Shen Ci felt a little lazy and ashamed, so he got up and joined the practice.

You can't just do it half-heartedly, you have to work hard.

The people in the front row probably already knew the new dance moves and practiced them fluently. Shen Ci followed their moves and found that the dance was much more difficult.

"Bai Ziwei, if your movements were a little more powerful, it would be more beautiful!"

Xia Qingqing's low voice echoed behind him. Shen Ci looked back and found that Bai Ziwei, who came to practice, had stood behind him without knowing when, and he looked very good at dancing.

Bai Ziwei said impatiently: "I think it looks good this way, you don't have to bother me."

Xia Qingqing pouted and said, "How could that be? If you try it, you will know that it will be more beautiful if it is stronger."

"If I follow what you said, the action will be tiring and ugly."

"But this is what the dance teacher asked us to do! You have to obey the overall arrangement!"

"What's that got to do with you?"

Bai Ziwei refused to give in. Xia Qingqing made him so angry that his face turned red. He snorted and ignored him.

Shen Ci was speechless.

Well, he originally thought that Bai Ziwei was always making trouble just to target him as a cannon fodder. It turned out that this book-crosser had a bad temper and sometimes his way of dealing with people was really puzzling.

With this kind of personality...can the protagonist's halo be saved?

***

After the dance teacher came over, Shen Ci realized that the two programs were broken up and then interspersed into one. There were nine people participating in the whole program, and the duration was also longer because the music was remixed.

Shen Ci was pleased that the music finally adopted for the program was still "Wonderful Playground", so it would take him less effort to learn it again.

The animal costumes that were originally required in kindergarten programs were all replaced with light doll jackets, and the heavy headgear was replaced with hairpins. Although it is more convenient to dance, mistakes are also more obvious.

The dance teacher taught the class a few times and then divided the students into small groups to practice on their own.

Shen Ci put in his best effort and practiced hard with the White trio, but he still made mistakes frequently and couldn't remember the movements correctly.

Someone suddenly patted her shoulder, and the dance teacher sighed in frustration: "Shen Ci, come to the front with me, I will teach you again alone."

At the same time, Shen Ci heard a sneer coming from behind him.
