When Yu Zixuan was sent back to the创业园, Yue Chengfeng was already waiting for them at the entrance of the创意园.
After negotiating with the partners, it was decided that Yu Zixuan would return to Kyoto for long-distance work. Fortunately, Yu Zixuan had been very efficient before, and the remaining finishing work could be communicated and finalized online.
Today, Yue Chengfeng came to pick up Yu Zixuan to accompany her in handing over the subsequent work. They were scheduled to fly back to Kyoto on the early morning flight tomorrow.
Seeing Xia Qingtian with Yu Zixuan, Yue Chengfeng's smile became even gentler: "When you two beautiful ladies walk together, this ordinary street turns into the premier runway."
"Such a smooth talker," Yu Zixuan playfully scolded him with a glance.
"Then do I have the honor of inviting my uncle and aunt to dinner tonight?" Xia Qingtian wanted to treat them to a meal before they left Z City.
"If anyone should be treating, it should be me," Yue Chengfeng, as their uncle, felt it wasn't right for Xia Qingtian to spend the money.
Xia Qingtian, however, felt it was her duty as a host.
As they couldn't reach an agreement, Yu Zixuan ultimately decided that she would treat them.
On one hand, it was on behalf of Yue Chengfeng, their uncle. On the other hand, it was to thank Xia Qingtian for her care during this period.
Most importantly, it was to thank Xia Qingtian for taking care of Gou Wen for her.
Of course, this last point was not spoken aloud by Yu Zixuan.
Even without her saying it, Xia Qingtian understood.
Without further persuasion, Xia Qingtian happily agreed. Yu Zixuan booked a French restaurant in Z City known for its good environment and reputation.
After Yue Chengfeng and Yu Zixuan finished their work, they headed to the French restaurant together.
At the restaurant entrance, Xia Qingtian unexpectedly met Wen Ning and Yu Yinyin.
Wen Ning and Yu Yinyin were naturally delighted to see Xia Qingtian.
"Uncle, Aunt, you two go in first. I'll chat with my friends for a bit." Xia Qingtian didn't want Yue Chengfeng and Yu Zixuan to wait for her, so she urged them to go in and order.
After they left, Xia Qingtian smiled at Wen Ning and Yu Yinyin and asked, "Are you two here to improve your meals today or..."
"Who do you think is as gluttonous as you?" Wen Ning said with a smile, "I've made an appointment with Director Zhao. Since 'Hua Yue Zui Xi Chun' is scheduled for summer, I want to take this opportunity to release some character songs as a warm-up. I want Yinyin to try for the lead female role's character song. If successful, the subsequent radio drama work will likely be secured."
Wen Ning knew that Xia Qingtian was also a main creator for this project, and considering her relationship with Mr. Gu, she didn't hide anything.
"That sounds great! Yinyin's voice and singing skills are both excellent," Xia Qingtian's eyes lit up. "Director Zhao is very easy to talk to, I think it's possible."
"I'm still a little nervous," Yu Yinyin said bashfully with pursed lips in front of Xia Qingtian.
"What's there to be nervous about?" Xia Qingtian warmly took Yu Yinyin's hand and smiled, "You look stunning today, and this moon-white dress suits you perfectly. Smile."
Yu Yinyin smiled shyly at the words and blinked, looking much better than before.
"Your words are more effective than all my nagging on the way," Wen Ning joked from the side, seeing this. "I've been trying to comfort her all the way, but it was no use. She was trembling the entire time as if she were on vibrate mode."
"It's okay to tremble now, as long as you don't falter when it's time to show your true skills," Xia Qingtian said with a light smile.
Just then, a female voice with a hint of anger was heard: "I was wondering why Yu Yinyin doesn't even answer my calls anymore. Turns out she's found a better connection."
Xia Qingtian and the other two looked over and saw Yu Linwan, dressed in an elegant black French-style cocktail dress, walking towards them.
She was wearing bright red lipstick, her long hair meticulously styled, truly exuding the aura of an elite businesswoman.
Following Yu Linwan was Mo Jianing, who was wearing a moon-white sleeveless dress. Her expression was also full of displeasure.
This time, it wasn't because she saw Xia Qingtian, but because she discovered she had a wardrobe clash with that low-class Yu Yinyin!
What a disgrace!
Yu Yinyin also noticed this. Meeting Mo Jianing's furious gaze, she shrank back with her head bowed, looking like she wanted to hide.
Just then, a male voice called out, "Why is it so lively here?"
Following the sound, they saw Director Zhao, dressed in a sharp suit, walking towards them.
After all, this was a high-end restaurant, and everyone's attire looked appropriate.
Upon seeing Director Zhao, Yu Linwan's eyes lit up. She gave Mo Jianing a look and then quickly led her forward, saying, "Director Zhao, what a coincidence! I never expected to run into you here."
She had specifically brought Mo Jianing here today to intercept him.
To find out Director Zhao's whereabouts, she had spent a considerable amount of money through various channels.
Earlier today, she had already had a video conference with Song Junhan. The peak popularity of "Zui Jian Yuan Yang Lu" had passed. If they wanted to create another sensation, they absolutely couldn't miss the heat of "Hua Yue Zui Xi Chun."
So, as soon as she heard that "Hua Yue Zui Xi Chun" was releasing character songs, Yu Linwan's mind immediately became active. She immediately brought Mo Jianing to intercept him, planning for Mo Jianing to recommend herself.
So far in the variety show, Mo Jianing had gained both popularity and attention. Although she had lost some face before, that was not a problem at all.
An artist is not afraid of losing face, but of being forgotten or unrecognized.
As long as this attention could be effectively utilized, everything would be worthwhile.
Having been in this industry for so long, Wen Ning could tell what Yu Linwan was planning without even looking.
Director Zhao was invited by her, and Yu Linwan intercepting them midway was truly shameless.
Director Zhao couldn't say much and could only exchange a few pleasantries with Yu Linwan.
Wen Ning turned to look at Yu Yinyin, only to see that Yu Yinyin had switched back to "vibrate mode," her eyes filled with panic.
It was evident that she was genuinely afraid of those who had harmed her in the past.
Wen Ning took a deep breath to suppress her urge to get angry and was about to offer Yu Yinyin some advice when she saw Xia Qingtian step closer to Yu Yinyin's side.
Placing her hand on Yu Yinyin's back, Xia Qingtian gave her a well-timed push: "You have nothing left to lose."
Yu Yinyin's hunched posture changed due to Xia Qingtian's action. Xia Qingtian's gentle yet powerful words reached her ears: "Since that's the case, don't let go of the opportunities you can grasp."
Yu Yinyin was stunned by Xia Qingtian's words. Immediately after, the hand on her back climbed back up her arm, and she was led forward.
"Director Zhao, long time no see," Xia Qingtian said with a smile. "You're such a busy man, it's really hard to get a hold of you."
"Oh! Qingtian!" Director Zhao's eyes lit up when he saw Xia Qingtian. He had noticed Xia Qingtian's unique spiritual aura on the set of "Hua Yue Zui Xi Chun." "I was just looking for you."
"Looking for me? What about?" Xia Qingtian asked, blinking her eyes.
"We're thinking of releasing character songs recently. I know your singing skills. How about you sing the character song for Princess Yingyue yourself?" Director Zhao said with a smile.
Hearing Director Zhao's words, Yu Linwan and Mo Jianing's expressions changed simultaneously.
They had eagerly approached, hoping to get an opportunity, but the opportunity was being presented to Xia Qingtian, begging her to accept it.
Why?
Xia Qingtian, that wretched girl, just had better luck. What made her so arrogant!
Damn it!
