Facing Dai Shutao's question, Lu Sheng remained calm and answered with a smile.
"I have a niece who's interning on the show. She's a little girl, and it's her first time working. Although she's a little embarrassed, I can only come over and give her some courage."
Lu Sheng's explanation was clear. Behind-the-scenes work in the entertainment industry is prone to shady dealings, and there are many people who, relying on their seniority, often do evil things and oppress their juniors.
If that’s the case, why not keep your niece by your side, but instead send her to Canxing to be an ordinary staff member?
Dai Shutao knew that there must be something wrong, so she tactfully did not expose it. She smiled, said hello to Lu Sheng, and turned to leave.
After making sure Dai Shutao had left, the smile on Lu Sheng's face gradually faded, and his eyes were filled with unfathomable depth and mystery. After a long moment, he let out a horrified laugh.
"You actually came here, what a pity." Muttering to himself, Lu Sheng glanced in the direction of the trainees' dormitory again, turned around and left without emotion.
Dai Shutao had only taken a few steps when she bumped into the election officer who was leading the way.
Seeing Dai Shutao, the female election officer also breathed a sigh of relief.
All the seniors had already arrived at the lounge, except Dai Shutao. She was worried that Dai Shutao would get angry after getting lost, so she kept apologizing throughout the whole process.
"It's okay, I just took the wrong road, it has nothing to do with you."
Dai Shutao waved her hand, not caring at all. On the way to the lounge, she chatted with the election officer about the trainees' situation, and then the topic changed to Lu Sheng.
"By the way, I just saw Mr. Lu Shenglu. He looks like he comes to the training camp often."
"That's right." The female selection officer's face lit up instantly when Lu Sheng was mentioned. "Teacher Lu is really nice. Every time he comes over, he brings us lots of food, and he's also really nice to the trainees. Oh, and Teacher Lu also praised Zhou Yili, saying he has a bright future and will definitely become very famous in the future!"
In the Book of Changes?
Dai Shutao paused for a moment, then continued to lift her foot as usual under the confused gaze of the female election manager.
"It seems that Mr. Lu is very concerned about these trainees. Are there any juniors among them that he knows?"
The female election supervisor tilted her head and thought for a moment. "I remember someone saying that Mr. Lu watched the show and said he wanted to see these young people who are the future of the entertainment industry, so he comes here when he has free time. I haven't heard that he knows anyone."
Lu Sheng is lying.
Dai Shutao's doubts were answered. The moment she pushed open the door of the lounge, she seemed to glance at the corridor behind her unintentionally, as if she wanted to see the middle-aged man who lied to her through this long corridor.
If he was just here to visit the set, there would be nothing that he couldn't say. Then why did Lu Sheng lie to him specifically? What was Lu Sheng planning?
Somehow, Dai Shutao always felt that Lu Sheng's behavior was a little abnormal, and she kept this matter firmly in mind.
After finishing work, Dai Shutao declined the invitation from the director team, looked at the message, told Chu Junyao in advance that he had something to do and had to leave first, and then walked towards the back door.
As soon as she stepped over the threshold, Dai Shutao saw a man standing tall in front of the car door, with his head down looking at his mobile phone. The hair on his forehead was a little long, just blocking the man's eyes.
The man seemed to have noticed something, put away his phone, and looked in the direction of Dai Shutao. The moment he saw Dai Shutao, a smile immediately appeared on Qin Guican's face.
The gentle smile in the man's eyes burst out the moment Dai Shutao appeared. Seeing the woman getting closer and closer, he smiled and said, "I thought I had to wait a little longer, but I didn't expect you to finish so quickly. How was your work today?"
Dai Shutao stopped and looked at Qin Guican, feeling that something was not right.
The question sounded so familiar. What kind of relationship was he asking her? A superior or a subordinate? Or... a suitor?
"I'm sorry to have kept Mr. Qin waiting any longer. I wonder if he found my necklace?"
Seeing Dai Shutao went straight to the point, Qin Guican was not in a hurry.
"Of course I found it. It's in the car. But shouldn't you show some appreciation for helping you find the necklace?"
Before leaving, Dai Shutao was thinking again whether Qin Guican would take the opportunity to make some demands on her. When she heard the man speak, her heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Qin Guican was trying to take advantage of this opportunity to get me to commit myself to him? He was asking for something like that just for a necklace. How could such a thing be possible?
Dai Shutao had a very wild imagination and even wondered whether Qin Guican would ask her to pull weeds in his small garden. When she thought of the priceless necklace, the scales in Dai Shutao's mind tilted unconsciously.
"Please treat me to a meal!"
Qin Guican looked at Dai Shutao with soft eyes and said in a light voice: "Is it not too much to treat me to a meal?"
It’s not excessive, indeed not excessive, and the other party is very easy to talk to.
Dai Shutao stared at Qin Guican blankly for a few seconds. It was only after Qin Guican reminded her that she suddenly came back to her senses. She coughed twice to hide the confusion that flashed across her face and sat in the passenger seat.
Qin Guican suppressed the excitement on his face and tried to appear calm. As soon as he started the engine, he asked Dai Shutao where she planned to go. At the same time, he prepared the names of several restaurants in his mind so that Dai Shutao could have options if she hesitated.
"Why don't we go eat spicy hot pot?"
Dai Shutao pretended not to see the anticipation in Qin Guican's eyes. "I heard there's a spicy hot pot restaurant nearby. It's highly rated online. They say the owner even uses chicken broth in the soup base. It's truly the best spicy hot pot restaurant. If Mr. Qin doesn't mind, let's go eat there."
Spicy hot pot. Qin Guican's smile faded a bit. He didn't expect Dai Shutao to be so down-to-earth. After all, she was a well-known female star...
"Okay." Qin Guican answered fluently and turned on the GPS navigation at the same time, "What's the name of that store? I'm locating it now."
Dai Shutao didn't expect Qin Guican to agree so easily, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. After she mumbled the name of the store, she looked out the window. From time to time, she could hear a few words from Qin Guican.
"By the way, He Zhiming has been arrested by the police. He has had a hard time making a living recently and even robbed several passersby. I never thought he would fall to this point."
When mentioning He Zhiming, Qin Guican spoke in a flat tone, as if he was talking about a stranger who had nothing to do with him. As for the fact that He Zhiming was the real culprit behind Ding Zicong, Dai Shutao still didn't know about it, and Qin Guican had no intention of telling her.
Dai Shutao only needs to fulfill her dream. As for these disgusting and despicable means, he will block them all for Dai Shutao.
Dai Shutao was a little surprised that she could still hear what happened next from He Zhiming. After all, he was a shareholder with high spirits. Unfortunately, with his current ending, even if she fulfilled her promise a year later, Mr. He probably would not go to the mountainous areas to teach.
The sports car stopped in front of a simply decorated store. Qin Guican pushed open the door, took a look at the facilities inside the store, and breathed a sigh of relief.
