Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
However, this young master had always been willful. Otherwise, Mayor Xu wouldve been able to control him and Xu w.a.n.gzhi wouldnt have run out to start his own career.
He was stubborn as well. After he debuted, he refused all resources from his family and started from scratch. Even the people in the company Xu w.a.n.gzhi was signed under didnt know that he was Mayor Xus son.
The father-son relations.h.i.+p between Xu w.a.n.gzhi and Mayor Xu was only accidentally discovered by the manager.
However, the manager did not have much power to begin with. Otherwise, he would not have been arranged by the company to work with Xu w.a.n.gzhi. Hence, he couldnt do much to help Xu w.a.n.gzhis career.
He had also promised Mayor Xu that he would not tell the higher-ups of the company about Xu w.a.n.gzhis ident.i.ty, so he could only quietly accompany Xu w.a.n.gzhi.
In the past two years, Xu w.a.n.gzhi had relied on his conscientious auditions and filming to slowly stand out.
This time, Xu w.a.n.gzhi was invited to partic.i.p.ate in the music variety show Piano Story because he had revealed that he knew how to play the piano. However, because Xu w.a.n.gzhi was not famous enough and there were not many scenes, he did not receive much attention.
The manager spread his hands and muttered to himself, Youre still insisting on bringing someone we dont know onto the show. Youre surelv going to be eliminated this time.
He went to talk to the director about the guest.
The director asked, Its been finalized? Whats her name and what does she
Its just a young woman. I dont know what she does for the time being, but she should be good at playing the piano, the manager said. w.a.n.gzhi has decided that shell be his guest this time.
The director said earnestly, Everyone has to invite guests for this segment. Perhaps theyre friends or colleagues from the same company, but theres no doubt that everyone will choose people who can help them. You have to think carefully.
Weve thought about it. Ill report the details to you when the time comes, the manager said.
Cant you find a suitable person? the director asked. If you really cant, I can help you contact someone.
The director did admire Xu w.a.n.gzhi, but every time, he would edit Xu w.a.n.gzhis scenes ruthlessly.
He had to consider the popularity of the show as a whole.
Of course, helping Xu w.a.n.gzhi find a guest was also for the sake of the shows popularity. He did not want to see the show lose its highlight.
Strictly speaking, Xu w.a.n.gzhi was now a little famous.
However, compared to the others, Xu w.a.n.gzhi still could not compare to them.
Thank you, Director, but weve already confirmed it. w.a.n.gzhi is quite optimistic about this guest. We appreciate your kindness.
Thats fine too. The director did not say much and only reminded him, You need to make preparations. You should arrange w.a.n.gzhis future schedule for him.
He was tactfully telling the manager that Xu w.a.n.gzhi was definitely going to be eliminated.
The manager said a few more words with a smile before returning to Xu w.a.n.gzhis side and relaying the directors words to him.
Got it, got it. Dont hang your head. Its not a big deal. I can audition for my next movie after this. I dont really want to stay in this show anymore.
Xu w.a.n.gzhi shrugged.
With that, he went to the piano room to practice.
There were already many people inside. This time, there was a very popular emcee from the TV station who was partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion with him. There was a Best Actor, the son of a big director, and two newbies who had been famous for a while now. There was also a popular actor from a TV show who was more qualified than Xu w.a.n.gzhi.
Therefore, the director was right. If Xu w.a.n.gzhi did not work hard, he would be eliminated in this round.
Even if his manager was worried, there was nothing he could do.
Everyones att.i.tude toward Xu w.a.n.gzhi was not bad. When they saw him, someone took the initiative to greet him, w.a.n.gzhi, practice here.
Okay. Xu w.a.n.gzhi walked over.
The manager also knew that the friendlier everyone was to Xu w.a.n.gzhi, the more it proved that he was not compet.i.tive.
After being on call Xu w.a.n.gzhi, Lin Shuhui called Qiao Weiyang.
He wants me to appear as his guest act? When is it? Let me see if I can make time for it. Although Qiao Weiyang was very popular now, she didnt put on airs.
She would help whenever she could.
Lin Shuhui told her the time and date.
Qiao Weiyang asked Tao Huan to check the time for her and confirmed it on the spot. Okay, no problem. Although Im not familiar with Xu w.a.n.gzhi, its fine if hes your student. Then its settled. Ill reply now.
Lin Shuhui said.
After Qiao Weiyang hung up, Tao Huan asked, Are you going to appear as a guest act for others? Are you going on a variety show, Sister Weiyang?
Yes, more or less. It sounds like its for a music program, Qiao Weiyang said.
Help me make time. Inform Mingjue as well.
Okay. But let me check out who Xu w.a.n.gzhi is first. Tao Huan noted down the time and went to investigate Xu w.a.n.gzhis situation.
After finding out, she told Qiao Weiyang, It hasnt been two years since he debuted. His popularity is average, far inferior to yours. Hes a piano player and has acted in a few online dramas. Hes quite good-looking. Do you know each other?
We met when we were young, Qiao Weiyang said. But we didnt interact much. If it werent for Aunt Lins introduction, we might not even be able to recognize each other now.
Seeing as he invited you to appear on the show, I think he wants to rely on you to become famous. I think hes at the bottom of the rankings in the previous round and his popularity is extremely low. Sister Weiyang, do you want to discuss this with Brother Lu first?
No need. No matter what his motive is, Ive already agreed. How can I go back on my word?
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Tao Huan did not persuade her anymore.
Lin Shuhui also called Xu w.a.n.gzhi to relay Qiao Weiyangs answer.
Only then did she sit down again. She poured a cup of Puer tea and slowly savored it.
Lu Ke pushed the door open and walked in. Mrs. Lin.
This Puer tea was just brewed. Come, have a drink first. Lin Shuhui handed him a cup of Puer tea.
Lu Ke picked it up and took a sip. It tastes good. Thank you, Mrs. Lin. Im sorry Im a little late. The doctor I went to see came a little late today.
You went to see the doctor? What did the doctor say?
The doctor prescribed medicine to ease the pain in my muscles and joints. Theres nothing else. Look. Lu Ke took out the medicine. I took the first dose just now.
Lin Shuhui took out Qiao Weiyangs medicine from her bag and handed it to Lu Ke..
