Chapter 1045: Not Familiar

Lu Qiyuan had partic.i.p.ated in this sort of event many times already, but he had never been paid so much attention to. It had always been him going to find Mayor He on his own to chat. Mayor He had never automatically come to find him.

“Mayor He,” Lu Qiyuan finally said, no longer able to hold back.

Mayor He was shocked and only then realized that Lu Qiyuan was there. “Mr. Lu is also here?”

Lu Qiyuan: “…”

He had been standing there for very long already.

Mayor He remembered how, when he came over, he seemed to have seen someone standing in front of w.a.n.g Juhuai and Xia Qingwei, as if they were chatting.

Mayor He could not help but look at Lu Qiyuan differently. “Mr. Lu and Mr. w.a.n.g are familiar with each other?”

Without waiting for Lu Qiyuan to answer, w.a.n.g Juhuai denied it. “We aren’t. I don’t know why he decided to stop me for no reason, saying that this is not a place that someone like me can come to.”

Seeing Lu Qiyuan’s att.i.tude towards Mayor He, w.a.n.g Juhuai knew that the former wanted to suck up to the latter.

w.a.n.g Juhuai did not want to give Lu Qiyuan the chance.

Without waiting for Mayor He to say anything, Mrs. He expressed her unhappiness.

As a loyal fan of w.a.n.g Juhuai, Mrs. He instantly said, “Mr. w.a.n.g is a world-famous musician, a violinist, and a composer. He has received many kinds of big international awards. Because of work, he’s lived in America for many years, but he insists on keeping his Chinese pa.s.sport, and he has always been the pride of our Chinese musicians.”

Lu Qiyuan looked at w.a.n.g Juhuai in shock, his eyes full of disbelief.

w.a.n.g Juhuai’s greatness was at this level? Perhaps because he did not appear in the media as much as celebrities did, not a lot of people knew what w.a.n.g Juhuai looked like.

But most people in the country knew w.a.n.g Juhuai’s name.

Because he was a legend—he was the pride of the country people.

As a person from China, there was nothing easier than changing their citizens.h.i.+p so that they could advance internationally.

Yet in the end, he had insisted on using his talent to get the acknowledgment of everyone, to let everyone know the name w.a.n.g Juhuai and the fact that he was from China.

As long as it was in a place with Internet access, though perhaps not everyone had listened to w.a.n.g Juhuai’s music before, they definitely knew that there was an internationally famous musician who was from China, and his name was w.a.n.g Juhuai!

Perhaps he was not as powerful as Mayor He, but as a musician who had an extremely high status internationally within the music world, he was no doubt a national treasure.

Benefits and power aside, his status in the country was extremely high and very special.

The impression w.a.n.g Juhuai gave people had always been that he was polite, elegant, and not one to purposely cause trouble for anyone.

It was very rare that he was not giving Lu Qiyuan face at all in front of Mayor He.

But because it was a rarely seen event, it showed that w.a.n.g Juhuai really disliked Lu Qiyuan. Was it perhaps because Lu Qiyuan was impolite to him? Or because a long time ago, there was a disagreement between the two of them?

But this did not affect Mayor He, who did not think twice and emphatically stood on w.a.n.g Juhuai’s side.

To him, Lu Qiyuan was a nonent.i.ty!

He was just a small-time businessman. If not for how he had used many connections, he would not even have the right to donate money to their cause!

Mayor He’s face was dark as he told Lu Qiyuan, “CEO Lu, this is w.a.n.g Juhuai. Mr. w.a.n.g’s name, you’ve heard it before, right?”

“w.a.n.g Juhuai?” Lu Qiyuan was stunned. He knew only one person who was called w.a.n.g Juhuai!

But he did not believe it!

He did not want to believe it!

Seeing Lu Qiyuan’s reaction, Mayor He knew that Lu Qiyuan knew who w.a.n.g Juhuai was.

Mayor He smiled and said, “That’s right. Perhaps you have not seen Mr. w.a.n.g himself, but you definitely have heard his name before.”
