This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 63 Lu Ran is asleep
In a hotel in Guangxi Province.

Su Qingtang was lying in bed, applying a face mask while playing on her phone.

She has been preparing for her performance at the folk song festival these past few days.

Because "The Earth Sings" was selected as the theme song for this year's Folk Song Art Festival, Zhang Delin felt it would be a real shame if a music video wasn't made for the song.

The scenes depicted in the lyrics are only interesting if they are filmed, which is a good opportunity to promote them through short video platforms.

It's not just about promoting the folk song festival, but also about showcasing the beautiful landscapes and rich culture of China.

Su Qingtang arrived in Guangxi Province ahead of schedule and participated in the filming of the promotional video.

The day after tomorrow is the official opening day of the Folk Song Art Festival.

Su Qingtang checked Weibo tonight to see if anything major was happening, and then she came across news about Lu Ran.

This made Su Qingtang a little worried.

What kind of program dares to rig Teacher Lu's career?

Su Qingtang wouldn't mind using her connections to help Lu Ran suppress the negative online comments.

Lu Ran's reply came shortly afterward.

"It's nothing, it's been resolved."

He'd already advanced anyway, and he'd even gotten some exposure.

He's all the rage online right now.

Xingyao Media and other companies tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead. They originally wanted to do something bad, but in the end, they just helped to boost Lu Ran's popularity.

This made Lu Ran think of five words.

Our competitors are **!

"That's good. If you need my help later, just let me know."

Su Qingtang wasn't just being polite; she meant it sincerely.

The benefits that "The Song of the Earth" brought her were not limited to just having a song written for her; there were many more benefits to come.

Within this circle, some benefits cannot be measured in monetary terms.

Lu Ran didn't stand on ceremony.

"Teacher Su, don't worry, I will definitely help you if there is anything I need."

For the time being, Lu Ran couldn't think of any place where he needed Su Qingtang's help.

Let's beat "Future Singer" first.

This show has now become incredibly popular, making it a sure-fire platform for exposure.

He's determined to win the championship; even Jesus can't stop him.

Li Quan and Chen Ke had been chatting casually. His purpose in coming out today was to get information from Chen Ke.

Sure enough, he found out some information.

Chen Ke knows quite a lot.

For example, a male celebrity may have already divorced his celebrity wife, and now they each go their separate ways, but on the surface they still appear to be a loving couple.

This way, they can also earn money by appearing on some couples' variety shows.

For example, a male celebrity whose career had been ruined wanted to make a comeback, so he went to meet a wealthy patron, but he went too far and ended up in the hospital.

There are countless messages like these.

After finishing their meal, Li Quan and Lu Ran returned to their van.

"What a fruitful day!" Li Quan exclaimed.

Lu Ran was somewhat puzzled: "Why do I feel like all of this is useless knowledge?"

You asked Chen Ke for inside information and you did find out some inside information, but most of it was just gossip and nothing concrete.

Li Quan's expression froze instantly.

"You're right, we wasted our meal today."

“I won’t eat for free, since you didn’t spend any money anyway,” Lu Ran said.

Li Quan nodded, agreeing with Lu Ran's point.

"Take tomorrow off. Contact me if anything comes up."

The van first took Lu Ran back to school, and then went to take Li Quan.

On the way back, Li Quan called Shen Qingyi.

This call should have been made a long time ago; Shen Qingyi had asked him several times already.

After the call connected, Li Quan recounted the events of the day to Shen Qingyi.

"Boss, the upcoming matches will still be tough battles."

Li Quan was telling the truth.

There are too many twists and turns in talent shows.

To put it bluntly, "The Future Singer" is just a framework set up by a few big companies to promote their own people.

As a result, Lu Ran suddenly rose to prominence and ruined everyone's plans. This matter is not going to end so easily.

Talent did not triumph over capital; capital simply chose talent.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Qingyi said, "I'll think of a way."

Li Quan didn't say anything more.

Just as he was about to hang up, Shen Qingyi asked, "Did you go to Lu Ran's dorm? Is his dorm clean?"

“I went, but the dorm manager wouldn’t let me up. Lu Ran took a video of me, I’ll send it to you.”

Li Quan had almost forgotten about this.

He sent the video directly to Shen Qingyi.

Meanwhile, Shen Qingyi was at her home, still wearing her business attire.

After seeing the news online, she changed her clothes, thinking that if anything happened to Lu Ran, she could go out immediately.

She was relieved after receiving a call from Li Quan.

Shen Qingyi relaxed her tense expression and opened the video that Li Quan had sent her.

Lu Ran explained the situation while filming.

"I won't let you see my underwear."

The video ends abruptly here.

A slight smile appeared on Shen Qingyi's usually cold face.

Who would want to see your underwear?

She found Lu Ran quite interesting.

This person isn't the rigid, inflexible type.

After watching the video, she started searching on her phone.

Since Lu Ran became a sensation, the company has received several business invitations.

However, Shen Qingyi glanced at it briefly and then ignored it.

A large portion of these business invitations are worthless; they're just trying to ride on Lu Ran's popularity.

For example, a clothing factory asked Lu Ran to do a live-streaming sales event for them, and the clothes they were selling were executive jackets.

Another chain billiards brand even hired Lu Ran as their spokesperson.

Some online movies added a character named Lu Ting to Lu Ran's character, allowing Lu Ran to act in the role again.

Accepting this business deal would definitely have a negative impact on Lu Ran's career.

But there are good ones among them; you just have to carefully select them.

……

Ten p.m.

Ren Xin received a brokerage contract drafted for her by the company's hard-working staff.

After reviewing it, she made some changes to the terms.

After finishing everything, Ren Xin stretched lazily and let out a comfortable groan.

"With this contract, I don't believe Lu Ran won't agree!"

If Lu Ran is signed to Xingyao Media, it will be a huge achievement for her.

After finalizing the contract, Ren Xin sent a text message to Lu Ran's mobile phone number.

She got the phone number from someone.

The text message contained a self-introduction, expressing a desire to arrange a meeting with Lu Ran to discuss the contract.

The content was full of sincerity, and Ren Xin believed that Lu Ran would definitely react after seeing it.

But after ten minutes, there was still no response.

I waited another ten minutes, but still no reply.

It's only a little past ten o'clock, why isn't Lu Ran replying to my messages?
Ren Xin couldn't wait any longer and called Lu Ran.

The phone rang for a while before it was finally answered.

Ren Xin immediately said, "Lu Ran, I am..."

Before she could finish speaking, an unfamiliar male voice came through the phone.

"Lu Ran is asleep, call him again tomorrow."

Ren Xin was stunned.

She asked hurriedly, "Who are you?"

"I'm his roommate. If you need anything, talk to him tomorrow. I'm hanging up now."

The call was immediately hung up.

Ren Xin almost thought it was the kind of plot she was imagining, but thankfully it wasn't.

But here's the problem: going to bed at 10 pm?
Are you still a college student?
Are you really that self-disciplined?
