Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

Chapter 453 Family Business, What Can I Do?

Uncle said unhappily, "What kind of school New Year's Eve party is this? How can a school's New Year's Eve party compare to the grandeur of our company's annual party? So many celebrities are here, they're all on TV. If you want your parents to see your performance, why not arrange for your performance to be included in the annual party as well? Let you two be the headliners, and all the celebrities will be supporting roles for you."

Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia were still stunned when their second uncle asked Old Wang again, "What do you think?"

Old Wang quickly put down his chopsticks, widened his eyes, and said, "Absolutely! One hundred percent!"

Lu Yuanqiu hadn't really figured out how to organize the New Year's Eve party, because only two bands were drawn this time, and they probably wouldn't get a spot.

As for Bai Qingxia's dance performance, there will be no group ballet this time. Only Shi Ling, who ranked first in the dance category, will be selected as the sole individual ballet dancer. The second place will be determined by lottery, and there is no guarantee that Bai Qingxia will be chosen.

Oh right... I haven't checked the lottery results yet; Fingel and the others should have finished theirs by now.

Lu Yuanqiu took out his phone to check and found that Fingel had sent him a message around 10 a.m.

Finger: The draw is over. I didn't get a spot. None of the 25 bands from the Wanfeng campus were selected. In the dance category, it seems I got a spot with a girl from the Chenxia campus, not Bai Qingxia.

Lu Yuanqiu: Understood.

Seeing Lu Yuanqiu put down his phone, his uncle asked, "Is what your second uncle said okay? It would be great if the whole family could get together to watch the annual meeting. We're all in Zhucheng, so why are some of us at the company and some at school? If it's hard to refuse the school, I'll contact them."

...Is it hard to refuse? Haha, the truth is, Bai Qingxia and I are no longer qualified to perform at school.

Lu Yuanqiu hadn't actually expected a "stunning" performance like the last New Year's Eve party. After all, he had been busy with final exams and hadn't had time to think about this or rehearse so many songs.

But if I could attend the company's annual meeting, be with celebrities, and even appear on TV, even if it was just to sing one song, that would be fantastic.

Although it wasn't on campus, this news still sent shockwaves through the Zhuhai University student community, because many celebrities and media were present, making it a very sensational story.

feasible.

“How about… we do a show together? We’ll sing, and you can be the backup dancer. We can make it the last show.” Lu Yuanqiu turned to look at Bai Qingxia.

Bai Qingxia responded softly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The uncle smiled and said, "You agree? If you agree, remember to remind your parents and Dongdong not to go to school on the 31st."

“But there’s another problem. How am I supposed to explain to my friends why I have such a powerful background and ability to perform alongside so many celebrities at the company’s annual party? And even be the finale?” Lu Yuanqiu asked.

As soon as he said that, Old Wang exploded. His eyes widened: "Oh my god! Why?! You tell me why! You can have fun, perform if you want, watch performances if you want, who dares to ask you why?!"

Lu Yuanqiu felt that Old Wang resembled the high-pitched old eunuch in the capital.

Bai Qingxia knew that Lu Yuanqiu mainly didn't want to expose his relationship with the company in front of Finger, Zhong Jincheng, and Liang Jingfeng.

The uncle understood what he meant: "You don't want your band friends to know that you got the chance to perform at the company's annual party because of you, right?"

Lu Yuanqiu nodded: "It's mainly my few good friends and my two other roommates. I don't care about the others. I'm afraid that my relationship with my friends will change in the future, and they will start to be careful about what they say to me. I still want to keep a low profile."

"As expected of Young Master Lu, he has such awareness at such a young age." Old Wang laughed heartily.

Mr. Liang seemed to be deep in thought. Lu Yuanqiu had said the same thing to him before, which was why he had not yet told his son about his classmate Lu Yuanqiu's identity.

"I have a plan!" Mr. Liang, with his pigtail, suddenly raised his hand like a primary school student.

His second uncle looked up and gestured to him.

Mr. Liang blushed and smiled, saying, "Well... my son is in the same band as you, so I told him that the company invited him because of me. When you guys were chatting privately, it was basically because of my son that you got this performance opportunity. My son likes to be high-profile, he's not afraid, haha."

"When did your son get involved in the same band as the young master? You're quick on the uptake, Lao Liang..." Lao Wang glared at Mr. Liang with hostility. Mr. Liang coughed, avoiding eye contact with his superior.

Lu Yuanqiu quickly pointed at him: "That's how we'll do it!"

Let Young Master Liang take the blame for me; he'll be happy anyway.

Mr. Liang was taken aback upon hearing this. His arms trembled slightly, his face flushed, and his breathing became rapid. He quickly nodded, "Okay, okay! I'll call him when I get home!"

Bai Qingxia suddenly imagined Liang Jingfeng trembling and rolling his eyes when he found out about this.

The father and son were equally strange, but Lu Yuanqiu was the most normal. No, Lu Yuanqiu wasn't normal either.

The guys I know all seem to have some strange or unusual characteristics.

After lunch, Lao Wang arranged several rest rooms for a midday rest before heading to the office area in the afternoon.

Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia were in the same room. He saw that Bai Qingxia went to the toilet several times in the middle of the day, and guessed that she probably ate too much oily food at noon.

Do swans poop?

I was even more excited.

2 p.m.

Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia followed their uncles and several senior executives to the employees' office area.

They visited each department one by one. Lu Yuanqiu was actually quite embarrassed. It wasn't a problem wearing a mask in the workshop and factory before, but now in the office area, he was directly facing the gaze of so many people with his face.

Actually, there was nothing wrong with it. He wasn't a socially anxious person to begin with. It was just that he knew how many of the employees here viewed him, so this kind of respectful but inwardly questioning gaze made him feel uncomfortable.

...But it's a family business, what can I do? I don't want to be a rich kid who can just sit back and wait to be rich.

Bai Qingxia was even more reserved. Because she was afraid of embarrassing Lu Yuanqiu, she only held Lu Yuanqiu's hand with one hand. Otherwise, she would definitely have timidly held Lu Yuanqiu's hand with both hands in this situation.

Soon, the group arrived at the marketing department.

The department manager was already waiting on this floor and had greeted the employees at their workstations. Upon seeing the group of leaders arrive, the department manager immediately extended a warm invitation: "Good morning, leaders, please come in. Our marketing department has a total of..."

Lu Yuanqiu felt a bit better. He hadn't seen Senior Chu Lan yet, so she was probably at the Zhuhai University cafeteria again, hehe.

Inside the department, at a workstation with a potted succulent, Chu Lan looked up and heard Xiao Li across from her waving hand to remind her, "Hey, hey, hey, I'm coming, get up, get up."

Chu Lan glanced back, then quickly stood up at her workstation along with all her colleagues, her face immediately displaying the "smile" that the manager had instructed her to give in advance.

Suddenly, her smile slowly froze.

Lu Yuanqiu gripped Bai Qingxia's hand tightly, and his forced smile froze.

He spotted Chu Lan's stiff face in the crowd.

Senior, you're here! Holy crap.

...That seems to be true; conducting research in the cafeteria is part of the marketing department's job.

　The contract for a live-action short drama was signed a few days ago, and filming is expected to begin soon.
