Chapter 053

Lu Beiyu doesn't believe in evil.

Young boys are very competitive and would just give up if they lose in ordinary things, but he is a professional e-sports player. Even if he is not playing the game he is best at, he should not lose, right?

"Come again!" He grabbed Yan Xi who was about to leave.

Yan Xi was helpless, "Okay, I'll play another game with you."

In the second game, Lu Beiyu was fully focused from the beginning of the BP, showing the same concentration as in a competition. This time when he ran into Yan Xi on the map, he did not let her go and rushed forward to fight!

Ten minutes later, the game was over.

Lu Beiyu stared blankly at the word "failure" on the phone screen with a dull look in his eyes, and he didn't react for a long time.

He took the SVP in this round and harvested more than half of the kills in this game. He obviously played very well!

Lu Beiyu looked at Yan Xi, "Is this... your first time playing?"

"Yeah!" Yan Xi leisurely sipped the already cold water, "But aren't these games all similar? Qing plays them occasionally, and she throws the games she can't beat to me. After playing a lot, they become almost the same."

"So, it's not shameful for you to lose the game to me."

【Hahahahahahahahahaha】

[I am dying of laughter. Island would never have thought that one day someone would say to him, “It’s not shameful that you lost to me in a game!”]

【Island was also named the best newcomer by the league this year?】

[I am going to abdicate and let the throne be passed to the wise]

【Island is already questioning life! 】

[To be honest, whenever Island broadcasts a new game, he gets the hang of it pretty quickly. He won the SVP just now, but Yan Xi played better.]

Yan Xi patted Lu Beiyu on the shoulder and said, "I told you, some skills are not used at the right time. You are better than me. If you play a few more games, you will definitely surpass me."

Lu Beiyu was depressed. He knew Yan Xi was right. Professional players like them would also calculate the data of each skill during the game, so that they could attack the opponent more effectively.

But there are so many heroes in a game. Lu Beiyu only remembers all the skills of the heroes he used in LOL, and can't remember anything else. Now when he plays a new game, Yan Xi already remembers everything clearly during the BP?

"You have a really good memory." Lu Beiyu said gloomily.

——

The clock ticked to eight o'clock and the live broadcast began.

While Yan Xi and Lu Beiyu were playing games, except for Zhou Qingyu and Lin Ranran, all the other guests had already arrived in the living room.

Ye Luoyi and Su Lingling were making salad for breakfast while Chuan Mo ordered takeout.

The only ones who didn't come were Zhou Qingyu who was sleeping, and Lin Ranran who was nowhere to be found.

Chu Mo glanced around the living room. Before going downstairs, he knocked on Lin Ranran's door, but no one answered. He thought Lin Ranran had gotten up early.

Ye Luoyi thought about what happened last night, "Ran Ran seems to have returned home."

"Return home?" All the guests were surprised.

"Isn't she going to record a variety show?" Su Lingling asked, "Why is she going back to China? Isn't she going to record it?"

Everyone was in a state of confusion. At this moment, Lin Ranran stumbled back to the villa.

The earliest flight back to Hancheng was at 5:30. While waiting, Lin Ranran bought new clothes and shoes and changed into them. Unfortunately, the soles of her feet still hurt, and she even limped a little when she walked.

Ye Luoyi saw Lin Ranran coming back and hurried forward to support her, "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Ye Luoyi plans to be quiet recently, not to conflict with Zhou Qingyu, and to try her best to show her gentle and kind side on the show in order to restore her popularity among passers-by.

Lin Ranran's face was pale as he replied weakly, "Nothing."

Su Lingling crossed her arms: "Lin Ranran, didn't you go back to China? I thought you weren't going to record anymore! Why are you here again?"

Lin Ranran shuddered, she still remembered what happened last night. Zhou Yanci asked her to continue on the variety show and apologize to Yan Xi after it was over. Her father also asked her to pretend nothing happened.

Lin Ranran: "What are you talking about! I just...fell down during my morning run!"

Su Lingling was unhappy: "It wasn't me who said that, it was Yiyi who said that!"

Lin Ranran pushed Ye Luoyi away and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I haven't quit the variety show!"

Ye Luoyi: ???

What sin has she committed? She was clearly telling the truth!

Ye Luoyi was too lazy to bother with Lin Ranran anymore. Lin Ranran dragged his tired body back to his room to treat his wounds.

At nine o'clock sharp, all the guests gathered in the living room.

Even Zhou Qingyu got up, still in her pajamas, looking like she hadn't woken up yet.

[The young lady looks good even if she hasn’t woken up yet! ]

[Wow, this bare face, I am so jealous that I am crying! 】

[If I could grow up to be as pretty as Zhou Qingyu, I would wake up laughing even when I fall asleep! ]

Zhou Qingyu sat beside Yan Xi in a daze.

Son, Director Yu also came to the living room. Today is not a free day, the program team has to announce tasks.

"Yu Jizhong, tell me what mission it is, I'm still sleepy!" Zhou Qingyu yawned. She always needs beauty sleep in the morning, otherwise she will become ugly.

"Just five minutes~five minutes~"

Director Yu looked at the guests, "I was also inspired by the students from Lubei Island. Traveling means spending money, but there are also ways to work while traveling, so today's task is to make money! The requirements are not high, just within three hours, let's see how much money you can make!"

“One additional rule: you can’t rely on live streaming!”

Lu Beiyu cried like a wolf, "Director Yu, you are targeting me!"

Director Yu held up his hands, "That can't be helped. If all of you start live streaming, the reward amount will probably be quite high, which goes against our original intention! We want to show the audience how different types of people make money, so it would be meaningless to do it live."

Lu Beiyu also understood what Director Yu meant. He clenched his fists and said, "Forget it. If I can't live stream games, I can do something else! I can set up a stall on the street and paint for people!"

The other guests also discussed it. After all, as a team, they had to choose a job that was suitable for both of them.

Ye Luoyi: "Lingling and I are planning to sing on the street and see how much reward we can get~"

Everyone took turns speaking clockwise. It was Chu Mo and Lin Ranran's turn. Lin Ranran was still feeling scared about what happened last night. Chu Mo called her twice, but she didn't respond.

"I, I can do anything..." Lin Ranran said in a low voice.

Chuan Mo was helpless and looked at the other guests. "My photography skills are good. Our group can make money by taking photos for tourists."

Finally it was Yan Xi and Zhou Qingyu's turn.

Zhou Qingyu really didn't think about making money. After all, as long as her money was in the bank, even if it was a current account with interest, it would still be an astonishing number.

Yan Xi's eyes rolled, "I do have an idea!" She blinked mysteriously, "But I won't announce it now, everyone will know it later!"

[Report to Director Yu! Yan Xi is actually being mysterious! ]

[Damn it, I was originally interested in Lu Beiyu's paintings and wanted to see what he painted like, but after Yan Xi said this, I became even more interested in hers! ]

[Yan Xi is deliberately keeping us hanging! ]

Yan Xi didn't mean to keep the audience in suspense, she just had an idea and it was hard to say whether it would succeed, so it wouldn't be a good idea to tell her in advance.

Director Yu clapped his hands, "Preparation time does not count, you can start anytime, as long as you work for three hours! The deadline is 8 o'clock tonight! The guests who earn the least money at the end will be punished!"

【There is actually a punishment! 】

[The eldest daughter is lazy and doesn't know the difference between grains. I feel like she might be the last one! ]

[Yes, singing, taking photos, and painting, I think they are all feasible, and it is not difficult to make a little money, but what a young lady can do, I can’t imagine! ]

[All I can think of is a young lady spending money! ]

After Director Yu made the announcement, the guests dispersed to prepare.

Zhou Qingyu was also curious about what Yan Xi wanted to do, but Yan Xi asked Zhou Qingyu to go back to sleep.

"Is it okay for you to prepare by yourself?" Zhou Qingyu asked.

"No problem," Yan Xi checked the time, "You can sleep for another hour, then get up and put on makeup, it should be done~"

Zhou Qingyu was also very obedient. When Yan Xi asked her to go to sleep, she continued to sleep.

——

After Chu Mo returned to the room, he took out his SLR camera.

As a second-generation rich man, he always has some hobbies that can make money, and photography is one of Chu Mo's hobbies. He has good skills and has taken photos of many girls in the past. He should be able to make money from this.

While wiping the lens, he posted a message on a travel website to see if anyone was looking for a travel photographer.

His cell phone rang. It was a message from his mother, asking him to avoid the live broadcast and call back.

Cun Mo did not hesitate and took his phone to the balcony without a camera.

Mother Chu went straight to the point, "Something happened to the Lin family."

The Lin family couldn't hide the fact that half of their market value had evaporated. The wealthy circles in Haicheng had been discussing this matter early in the morning. The Lin family's business had been doing well recently and there had been no scandals. How could the stock price fall so much?

Mother Chu: "I let you marry Lin Ranran because I thought our two families are similar in strength and cooperation would be a win-win situation. Now the Lin family must have offended some big boss. If we marry them, wouldn't that be pushing our family into the fire pit?!"

"Your marriage is over, but don't show it in variety shows, it will not be good for your image."

Chu Mo was delighted when he heard this.

He didn't like Lin Ranran in the first place. This girl was a delicate and pretty girl, sensitive and pretentious. What was wrong with them, the second generation of rich people, having a few women outside? His father was always like that. But Lin Ranran made a fuss about this every other day, which annoyed him to death.

Now that the engagement can be cancelled, Chuan Mo is overwhelmed with joy.

Tuo Mo: "Mom, does this mean I can find another woman?"

Mother Chu: "It's not okay if you're not from the right family, but if you want to have fun, I don't care about you. Just don't get the girl pregnant."

"Don't worry! I know my limits!"

After the phone was hung up, he was happy for less than two minutes when he heard a sound from the next room. Chuan Mo went to Lin Ranran's room and saw that she had accidentally broken the vase in the room.

She was wearing slippers and sat on the ground, with a thin layer of blood oozing from the soles of her feet.

Lin Ranran said aggrievedly, "Brother Chumo, wait for me... I'll be fine soon!"

"Why don't you take a leave?" said Chu Mo.

He didn't like Lin Ranran, but he had no intention of torturing the woman. Looking at the condition of her feet, he knew that she couldn't hike today.

"I'm the one taking the photos anyway, it doesn't matter whether you go or not."

Lin Ranran was a little confused, but her father only told her to continue to appear on the variety show and did not force her to perform well.

She was really too tired. She had been nervous since returning to Haicheng and Hancheng last night. She had not slept yet and her eyes were full of red bloodshot.

——

By the time Zhou Qingyu got up and put on makeup, it was almost eleven o'clock.

In the extended Lincoln, Zhou Qingyu ate the breakfast prepared by Park Baoyuan. She was not used to the Korean food kimchi, so she ate beef fillet salad and still managed to maintain her figure.

The stretched Lincoln finally stopped in front of a three-star Michelin restaurant.

[Restaurant? Do Yan Xi and Zhou Qingyu want to be waiters? ]

[No way! I don't think a young lady would do such a thing!]

[The waiter's words are so boring, I might as well go watch Ye Luoyi sing! ]

[Why not just let the young lady be an online store model! She can make money faster than this! ]

Yan Xi was already at the door of the restaurant. Pu Baoyuan got out of the car first and opened the door for Zhou Qingyu.

The moment she saw the restaurant, Zhou Qingyu thought the same thing as the audience, "Yan Xi, you don't want me to be a waiter, do you? I don't want to!"

The eldest daughter has no experience as a waitress. All her life she has had the experience of being served. It is impossible for her to be servile to others.

"How could that be!" Yan Xi smiled, "It must be a job that can make use of your specialties!"

The restaurant manager came out and shook hands with the two men warmly.

He is from H country, but in a restaurant like this, he can speak multiple languages. He greeted the two in not-so-fluent Chinese, "Ms. Yan, Ms. Zhou, hello. Our boss watched the video of Ms. Zhou's cello performance and was very satisfied. She agreed to invite Ms. Zhou to perform. It's lunch time at noon, 80,000 won per hour, what do you think?"

[80,000 Korean won? That’s more than 400 RMB! ]

[It's amazing. Ye Luoyi and her friends next door are singing and the reward is several thousand Korean won, but here it's directly 80,000! ]

[Wait, Miss can also play the cello? ]

[The restaurant probably took advantage of the young lady’s fame. She is a celebrity and the daughter of a wealthy family, so the restaurant should give her face! ]

The manager led Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi to the performance venue. On the way, Zhou Qingyu whispered to Yan Xi, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​making money from this?"

Yan Xi blinked her eyes. "You've been practicing for the role of Lihua. It's just right. You can practice right in the restaurant and make money!"

In the past, Zhou's father hired well-known musicians to coach Zhou Qingyu. Zhou Qingyu's cello level is very high. Not to mention performing in a restaurant, Yan Xi thinks Zhou Qingyu can even perform on stage.

It's just that she has been idle for a while, so it's difficult for her to perform on stage, but she has no problem in the restaurant.

The owner of this restaurant is a big music fan who likes to attend various concerts. Even her restaurant is located near a music theater. Therefore, after receiving the performance video of Zhou Qingyu sent by Yan Xi, she immediately decided to hire Zhou Qingyu.

To them, Zhou Qingyu is not only a cellist, they are also recording a program that can advertise her restaurant, which is a win-win situation.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, Zhou Qingyu's performance began on the small stage in the restaurant.

Perhaps it was because many people didn’t know that Zhou Qingyu had this skill, and when they heard that she was going to perform the cello, they flocked to the live broadcast room to watch.

[The requirements for a cellist hired by a restaurant like this are not high, right? ]

[Well, I guess

It is amateur, just a hobby.

[It’s all for show effects anyway, so just listen to it~]

That’s what they said, but when Zhou Qingyu started her performance, the barrage was stunned.

[I don’t understand cello, but it sounds great! ]

[It's so cool when the young lady plays the cello ~ the whole person glows! 】

[Professionally speaking, the young lady performed very well! "Saint-Saens: Cello Concerto No. 1 in A minor" The young lady's performance was impeccable in terms of both technical level and musical expression! ]

[Is the young lady so awesome? ]

Not only the screen, but even the customers in the restaurant were immersed in the music.

Hawthorne Restaurant is close to the Cold City Music and Theater. There is a symphony orchestra performance in the afternoon. Many customers who bought tickets for the concert came to Hawthorne Restaurant for lunch and to listen to the music later.

In the past, Hawthorne Restaurant would invite some musicians to perform, but they were usually amateurs. Professional musicians were too expensive. But today, while the customers were enjoying lunch, they listened to a cello piece that was in no way inferior to a concert performance!

Many customers had finished their meals but were still willing to stay. Occasionally, some customers would tip Zhou Qingyu, but for fear of disturbing her performance, they gave the tips to Yan Xi.

The restaurant started out with a few tables of patrons and eventually became full.

Three hours later, Zhou Qingyu's performance ended.

She used to practice for such long hours at home. Cello is her hobby, and she doesn't get tired even if she practices for a long time.

Many customers were still not satisfied even after the music ended. The concert next door was about to start in an hour, so customers left one after another.

The manager was very happy and gave Zhou Qingyu the salary. After working for three hours, she should have received 240,000 Korean Won, but the manager rounded it up and said, "Ms. Zhou, you have performed very well. Here is 300,000 Korean Won. The extra amount is your bonus."

"Thank you!" Zhou Qingyu took the money.

She was too lazy to count and gave them all to Yan Xi.

They also received some rewards from customers. All in all, they made a lot of money from this job.

Zhou Qingyu nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that working and earning money is not that difficult!"

[Ye Luoyi and Lu Beiyu next door are about to cry! ]

[I used to think that the eldest daughter was beautiful, rich, and that everything she has now is from her family. Now it seems that the eldest daughter is quite powerful~]

[The young lady doesn't know much, but the skills she's good at are very high! ]

[Yan Xi is amazing, too. She was able to help the young lady find a suitable restaurant in such a short time. There is a concert near Hawthorne Restaurant, and the customers all like music. If it were an ordinary restaurant, there wouldn't be so many rewards! ]

[The two of them are a perfect match~]

After completing the mission, Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi prepared to return to the villa.

Work is more tiring than traveling, so they decided to go back and take a nap.

Just then, a woman in a white dress came forward.

"Hello."

She has an Asian face with sharp features and speaks fluent Chinese.

She took out a business card and said, "Let me introduce myself. I am Chi Wei, the manager of the Gufan Symphony Orchestra. I think your performance is very good, Miss Zhou, and I would like to invite you to join our troupe."

[Gufan? Isn't that one of the three most famous bands in China? ]

[They actually came to recruit the young lady! The young lady is awesome! ]

[The young lady will not give up being an actor and become a musician, right? ]

[To be honest, Miss is much better at cello than acting, and music is even better with her, but I am so sad that I can’t see Miss’s beauty anymore! ]

Zhou Qingyu took the business card. The other party was Chinese. Gufan was also a very famous symphony orchestra in the country. Zhou Qingyu had heard their performances before.

To be honest, Zhou Qingyu was a little moved.

Her previous dream was to join a famous symphony orchestra and become a musician.

However, Zhou Qingyu still returned the business card to Chi Wei.

"Sorry, I'm an actor and I don't plan to change jobs."

Brother Yubai is still in the entertainment industry, and Zhou Qingyu doesn't want to be too far away from him.

Chi Wei felt quite regretful, she had a good eye and had discovered many new talents over the years. As soon as she heard Zhou Qingyu's performance, she knew that this person had talent and was willing to work hard, but it seemed that she had wasted a few years.

It’s not a big problem. Chi Wei checked Zhou Qingyu’s information and found that she is only 23 years old. If she works hard, it won’t be a problem for her to return to her peak.

Unfortunately, the other party is not interested.

Music is something that cannot be forced. Since Zhou Qingyu doesn't want to give up her job as an actor, Chi Wei won't force her.

She came to Hawthorne Restaurant today just to attend the concert.

The invitation failed, Chi Wei packed up her bag and headed for the theater.

At the door of Hawthorne Restaurant, Yan Xi suddenly called Chi Wei.

"Ms. Chi! Can I have your business card?"

Chi Wei turned around and glanced at Yan Xi. She remembered that this little girl had been helping Zhou Qingyu and accepting tips from customers. It seemed that she didn't know any music?

"You want to join us?"

"No, no," Yan Xi smiled, "I just want a business card. Maybe... Qingqing will change her mind one day?"

Chi Wei's eyes lit up. Yes, even if Zhou Qingyu disagrees now, maybe one day she will change her mind?

Chi Wei took out his phone and said, "Add WeChat!"

——

Yan Xi and Zhou Qingyu had lunch at Hawthorne Restaurant before returning to the villa.

The consumption at the Michelin three-star restaurant exceeded the money Yan Xi and Zhou Qingyu earned at lunch. Fortunately, Director Yu only required the guests to earn money and did not limit their spending.

On the way back, the extended Lincoln turned into a pedestrian street. Pu Baoyuan said there was a delicious milk tea shop there, and Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi were both very interested.

I have to work today, so I will put losing weight aside for now. I can't make my stomach suffer even if I suffer from anything else!

While Park Baoyuan went to buy milk tea, Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi were sitting in the car bored, discussing where to go after lunch. There were many famous Korean drama attractions in Hancheng, and the two wanted to check them out.

Just at this moment, Yan Xi noticed that there was a long queue not far away on the pedestrian street.

"What delicious food is there? Why are there so many people queuing up?" Zhou Qingyu also poked her head out.

The PD took a look and said, "It's not food, but he is also a guest of our show."

He glanced at the car of the production crew parked not far away, "It looks like the crew from Mainland Taiwan!"

Yan Xi was surprised, "Lu Beiyu said he wanted to make money by painting, I thought he was just talking, it turns out he's such a good painter!"

Since Park Baoyuan hadn't returned from buying milk tea yet, the two of them got out of the car to check.

The team in front of Lubei Island is quite long.

But people were not queuing up to paint, but... queuing up to see Yao Zu.

Yaozu wore a pair of silver goggles, and his white fur was shiny and smooth, making him look very handsome.

There was a small sign in front of it, which read in Korean: "One photo, 5,000 won. You can pet the dog, but you must wash your hands!"

The long queue in front of me is full of tourists who want to pet Yaozu and take photos with it.

Lu Beiyu was sitting on a small bench, holding his tablet, looking pitiful. There was nothing in front of him, not even a single tourist.

Yan Xi: “…”

Zhou Qingyu: "..."

They suddenly had a more real understanding of "a brother's wealth depends on his dog's wealth".

Zhou Qingyu saw that there was no customer at Lu Beiyu and felt sorry for him. "Just sell me a painting. It will count as your income today."

Lu Beiyu was very happy, "The eldest lady is still the best!"

Park Baoyuan bought milk tea, and Zhou Qingyu drank the milk tea while waiting for Lu Beiyu to paint.

Half an hour later, the painting of Lubei Island was ready.

Zhou Qingyu looked at the picture on the tablet and said, "Lu Beiyu, you draw well!"

She originally thought that the paintings of Lu Beiyu would be terrible, so there was no one, but now it seems that she miscalculated.

Zhou Qingyu praised, "These two caterpillars are quite cute! Oh, they can dance, and one of them can even laugh!"

Lu Beiyu was silent for a while, "What I drew... was clearly you and Sister Yan Xi!"
