Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 147 Suddenly

Chapter 147 Suddenly
The golf course goes farther and farther.

Perhaps because the heating was turned on high, Lu Yao yawned lazily and gradually felt sleepy.

Finally, I simply laid down the seat and lay down.

"Hey, do you think we should do a commercial performance?"

Hearing Master Xu's words, he said without even opening his eyes:
"It's just one song, what a commercial performance."

"Wait until it's done. After the album is released, do one? Find a small bar."

"…What? You want to be a big star?"

"Don't be funny. I want to be a star. My dad will beat me to death. It's fun. Have you read the comments online? So many people like us, we have to give back, right?"

"..."

"…I'm talking to you."

"..."

"Lu Yao?"

"..."

"Tsk."

Master Xu smacked his lips, feeling inexplicably envious.

Sure enough, it’s better to be young.

Fall down and go to sleep.

Lu Yao slept so soundly that when he was finally woken up, he looked at the strange hotel and didn't know where it was.

"...Where is this?"

“The Old Yanjing Noodle Restaurant in Hawaii Community, San Francisco, USA.”

"Oh, that sounds authentic."

Looking at his confused friend, Lu Yao sat up straight in silence, opened the car door and got out.

Looking around... you can't say there are many luxury cars, but there are quite a few. However, there are more ordinary-looking vehicles, which fill the parking lot in front of the hotel.

"What are the guests today?"

Hearing Lu Yao's words, Mr. Xu shrugged:

"Ordinary people."

Although the words were brief and to the point, Lu Yao understood them.

Followed him all the way in.

At first glance, I saw a red sign that read "Engagement Ceremony of Mr. Guo Xiangtao and Ms. Sui Wei" and below it were directions.

Xu Ruochu and Hu Li were in front, and he and Mr. Xu were behind, following them all the way inside.

"Are your father and Aunt Lin here?"

"Yes, but they are in the private room. Some of the guests today are not suitable to be in the spotlight, so we can just sit in the banquet hall."

"it is good."

Soon, the four of them walked into a banquet hall, two in front and two in back. There were already quite a few people inside.

"This way."

Xu Ruochen led Lu Yao inside with ease, and Lu Yao immediately noticed that many people's eyes were on Xu Ruochu and Hu Li in front of them.

At the same time, Xu Ruochen would greet the young people in the distance from time to time.

Walking to the innermost part, which was closest to the stage, Lu Yao finally saw someone he knew.

You Run and the others.

"Haha, here it is."

You Run smiled and waved, and Lu Yao responded with a smile.

Xu Ruochen pointed to the empty table over there:
"Brother Run, let's sit there."

"OK."

Although there were only a few people at You Run's table, today's banquet seemed to be quite "divided into categories".

At least, before the four people sat down, the empty table was empty.

Although the four people who sat down were next to each other, their seats were arranged like this: Hu Li, Xu Ruochu, Xu Ruochen, and Lu Yao. Lu Yao glanced at his girlfriend, wondering whether he should sit next to her.

But Xu Ruochen stood up:
"You sit here with me, and I'll sit with Sister Li."

"Row."

Now, the two men "wrapped" the two women in the middle.

Lu Yao understood what Mr. Xu meant. Obviously, it was most appropriate for him to sit next to his girlfriend.

After sitting down next to Xu Ruochu, Lu Yao asked:
"Sister Chu, what is the procedure later?"

Today, she did not choose black, but wore a warm-colored sweater. She no longer looked dignified but rather had a cute temperament. Xu Ruochu whispered:

"When the ceremony begins, there will be witnesses on stage, and their parents will be present. We will complete the engagement ceremony and discuss the wedding date under our witness. It's not complicated... Are you hungry?"

"No, I have to find out."

As Lu Yao spoke, he turned the glass tabletop and picked up the teapot. Immediately, a waiter came over:
"Sir, let me do it."

"it is good."

While pouring tea, the waiter apologized repeatedly, saying that he was pouring water for another table of guests and was negligent.

The four of them didn't argue. As soon as Lu Yao served the tea, Hu Li had already grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started eating them with relish, just like a little hamster.

In fact, in a sense, there seems to be no difference between a wedding banquet of this scale and an ordinary wedding banquet.

After waiting for a while, Xu Ruochu's phone rang.

After she answered the call, she nodded quickly:
"Okay, Xiaochen, stepmother is here with Linlin and Xiaoxiang."

"Ah."

Xu Ruochen stood up directly, and Lu Yao thought about it and followed him.

As they walked out of the banquet hall, they saw... Lin Miaoyun, who was almost dressed up, and holding two children in her hands.

"Little mother."

"Aunt Lin."

"Yeah. Lu Yao is here too."

Lin Miaoyun smiled and nodded, and the little girl directly took Xu Ruochen's hand:

"Brother, I'm hungry."

"Ha, come on, I'll take you to eat."

"Xiaochen, then you take them with you. I'll go upstairs."

"Okay, little mom."

"Lu Yao, see you later."

"Okay, Aunt Lin."

After watching the other party leave, Xu Ruochen took Xu Linlin's hand, pointed at Lu Yao and said with a smile:

"Do you know who he is?"

"I know, Brother Lu Yao, my sister's assistant and my brother's classmate."

"Ha~"

Lu Yao actually had a pretty good impression of these two children.

Especially Xu Linlin.

He always remembered the way the child handed him the umbrella in the rain with an "impatient" tone.

Compared to Xu Linlin, Xu Xiang was relatively reserved. He looked up and asked Mr. Xu:
"Brother, can I play with my phone?"

"…If you eat well, I will let you play."

"Okay! I promise to be the last one to leave the table!"

"OK."

Mr. Xu just handed over his cell phone... and suddenly stopped.

He looked at Lu Yao with some embarrassment on his face:

"... Lao Lu, let him play with your phone. I have this... this..."

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Lu Yao's intuition told him that there must be something shady in this guy's phone.

He rolled his eyes speechlessly, opened his phone and handed it to Xu Xiang.

"Thank you, Brother Lu."

"what."

Lu Yao smiled and nodded, then walked in with the two children.

After returning to his seat, Lu Yao originally wanted to vacate his seat for the two children, but Xu Linlin glanced at the seat next to Xu Ruochu and asked:

"Brother, are you sitting here?"

"I'll sit here."

Seeing where Xu Ruochen pointed, Xu Linlin chose to sit with him.

Xu Xiang was standing next to Xu Linlin, and had no intention of coming over. Instead, he looked at Lu Yao and asked:

"Brother, can I download the game?"

"Sure, go ahead."

Xu Ruochu frowned...but in the end he kept silent and held it in.

Obviously, she didn't like Xu Xiang playing with his phone very much.

Now, there are “6” people sitting at the table for ten people.

At the table, Xu Ruochen asked his sister why she didn't sit with her parents. The little girl's answer was quite straightforward:

"They smoke, and I'm still a child. Do you think it's appropriate for me to smell the secondhand smoke?"

"Haha, that's definitely not appropriate."

"Brother, you should quit smoking. Don't smoke. Smoking is wrong."

"Yeah, okay, I'll quit right away."

"You're lying! You said the same thing last time!"

"Haha~"

Lu Yao thought that this girl's bossy look was really similar to Xu Ruochu.

At this moment, a voice sounded:
"Xiao Li."

Lu Yao instinctively turned his head and saw a man who was about... 30 years old and a mature woman appear in front of him.

Both of them stared at Hu Li.

He subconsciously glanced at his girlfriend, but saw that her face was not cold, but she didn't smile either. She just nodded calmly:
"Brother, sister-in-law."

Lu Yao thought to himself, could this person be the cousin Hu Zhengyuan from his uncle's family that his girlfriend mentioned?
Sister-in-law...is her brother's wife?
Just as he was thinking about it, Xu Ruochu also spoke:
"Brother Zhengyuan, sister-in-law. Long time no see."

"Yeah, Xiaochu, long time no see."

The man smiled gently, his eyes moved away from Hu Li and fell on Xu Ruochu. He smiled and nodded, then looked at Lu Yao.

Although Lu Yao was wearing a baseball cap when he came, it was definitely inappropriate to wear a hat in this kind of occasion, as it would seem impolite, so he took it off.

After seeing Lu Yao's entire face clearly, he finally looked towards Xu Ruochen.

Xu Ruochen also shouted:
"Brother Yuan, sister-in-law."

"Hello, Xiaochen."

The royal sister smiled and waved her hand.

Then, Hu Zhengyuan said to Sister Yu:

"You go stay with our parents. I'll sit here."

Hu Li narrowed his eyes subconsciously.

But he said nothing.

The royal sister smiled and waved to everyone and left. Hu Zhengyuan sat down and the waiter came over to pour water.

He didn't seem to have any special temperament. Instead, he looked at Lu Yao with a smile:
"Who is this……"

"...Hello, brother. My name is Lu Yao, and I'm Xu Ruochen's classmate. I came here today... to have a meal."

Lu Yao subconsciously stood up and greeted him.

"Ha, sit down, sit down, don't be so polite."

Hu Zhengyuan waved his hand and asked with some curiosity in his eyes:
"Your name is Lu Yao? ... This year, our Magic City has produced a top scorer in the national college entrance examination. Is it you?"

"……it's me."

"Haha, you're awesome then."

He gave a thumbs up:

"I heard from them that this year's test paper is quite difficult. We haven't had a top scorer in the college entrance examination in a long time. It's amazing."

"Uh... a fluke."

Lu Yao quickly said modestly:
"This year's exam questions just happen to be the ones I'm good at."

"That's impressive too. Top students are definitely well-rounded people in terms of culture. The competition is naturally the most intense. Not to mention millions, to be able to stand out among hundreds of thousands of top students is already impressive."

Actually... I have to admit that Hu Zhengyuan's way of chatting is quite comfortable.

Lu Yao agreed while stealing a glance at his girlfriend.

She acted as if she didn't hear it and had a blank expression on her face.

And...according to my girlfriend, she and her cousin are not particularly close.

First of all, there is a few years difference between the two of them, so they couldn't play together when they were young. In addition, although his girlfriend's father was the most favored, he was the eldest son after all. So when Hu Zhengyuan was young, he felt that his grandparents were partial to him, and they disliked his younger sister. Of course, it was not to the extent of being mean. He definitely had the qualities that a brother should have, but they were just not close to each other.

Since Uncle Hu passed away, the relationship between the two families has almost ceased to exist.

After her aunt went abroad, Hu Li followed her. Although they are still cousins after all these years, their feelings only remain at that time.

He understands, so he can understand his girlfriend's mentality.

Obviously, at this moment, she... didn't really like the other person sitting here.

Even if this is her cousin.

But...I just sit here.

At this time, Xu Ruochu spoke:

"Uncle is here too?"

From this "uncle", we can actually judge the close relationship between the two families.

Not Uncle Hu, but Uncle.

Hu Zhengyuan nodded:

"We arrived. All the old guys were together. I couldn't stand the huge chimney in that room, so I ran away immediately."

"what."

Xu Ruochu chuckled:
"Brother Zhengyuan, did you come back specially?"

"Yes, Xiaowei is engaged, so she has to come back. It happens to be New Year's Day and I'm not busy... Let me rest for a few days. You don't know how busy I am at work over there. I can wear out three pairs of leather shoes in a year. I'm not lying at all."

"Brother Yuan, your leather shoes are of poor quality."

Xu Ruochen finished speaking with a smile, and Hu Zhengyuan waved his hand:

"I think so too. I need to ask Yutan for two pairs of combat boots."

"Haha, put another iron plate in there."

"No, a horseshoe will do. It's just right to be a cow or a horse."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Lu Yao thought that this guy was quite humorous.

At this time, he heard the other party's words:

"Xiaochen, are you two classmates?"

"Yes, it's still a dormitory. There's also a band."

“Are you still in a band?”

"Play, why don't you play?"

“…Your song is too bad.”

"Hey, brother, that's not right. Have you looked it up online these past two days?"

"No, what happened?"

"Our band is very popular online. It's even on Youku's homepage."

"Oh?"

Hu Zhengyuan became interested:
"Is singing popular?"

"Yes, the video of our school's performance was uploaded, and netizens really liked it. Maybe I will become a big star in the future."

"Ha~"

Hu Zhengyuan obviously didn't take this seriously, but asked:

"Is there a video? Let me take a look."

"Have."

Mr. Xu took out his cell phone, searched for it, and handed it to him.

Soon, Lu Yao's voice was heard:
"People in the rainbow, how are you..."

"Um... Lu Yao is still the lead singer?"

"Uh, yes, bro. I'm the lead singer of our band."

"Ok, Ok."

Although he said yes, he didn't finish watching the video. Instead, he nodded and handed it back to Xu Ruochen. He turned his head and looked at Lu Yao again:

"Won't you become a big star in the future? Are you planning to enter the entertainment industry?"

"No ah."

Lu Yao smiled and shook his head:
"People in our band are not actually interested in these things. We just formed a band to have fun on our own."

"Celebrities are so popular nowadays."

Hearing Hu Zhengyuan's words, Hu Li frowned slightly.

At this moment, a hand was placed on her leg.

It’s Xu Ruochu.

"I don't know what others think. But... Lu Yao and Xiao Chen's band is different from what you think, Brother Zhengyuan. Their main job is to be a student of Fuhua University. You can't characterize it like that. Music and entertainment are two different things."

"Uh...ha."

Hu Zhengyuan looked at Xu Ruochu and nodded with a smile:
"Xiaochu is still so serious. I don't mean to be so serious. I just sigh... You don't know that since our stadium was built, the venue fee alone can increase a lot of tax revenue every year. From the venue usage fee and ticket tax, we can see that this kind of entertainment is indeed a good way to boost the economy. This is true."

"So, it's like I said."

Xu Ruochu spoke calmly:
"You are speaking from an entertainment perspective, but from a musical perspective, the purpose of music is to resonate with the listeners. This has been the case since the day it was created, and it has never changed. As for what you mentioned, they are just derivatives, not the original functions. You can't generalize."

"Yeah, that makes sense... Hmm. Your point of view is very correct. If you find a suitable angle to approach it, it will be a good social research topic. It is also a very correct idea. As long as you ensure that your thoughts are not biased, the direction is still easy to control."

From the beginning to now.

Lu Yao finally saw a bit of "official tone" in him.

Hu Li also fell silent again, as if he hadn't heard what was said.

Just like that, Hu Zhengyuan and Xu Ruochu unknowingly started chatting about the topic of "entertainment industry".

Lu Yao had seen what "General Manager Xu" looked like at the negotiation table, so he knew that this was just a small scene at best.

After the two chatted for a while, music suddenly sounded in the banquet hall.

The conversation between the two came to an abrupt end.

Obviously, the engagement party is about to begin.

……

Lu Yao had actually attended an engagement party before. Putting aside other aspects, the process was essentially the same.

Sui Wei on the stage, standing together with the man named Guo Xiangtao, can be considered a perfect match.

Witnessed by the parents of both parties, the engagement banquet recognized the newlyweds and announced the wedding date. Then the banquet began, with waiters carrying carts and serving dishes in rapid succession.

The taste of the dishes is beyond words, of course.

Xu Linlin was full and finally got Xu Ruochu's cell phone.

As for Xu Xiang, he never let go of Lu Yao's mobile phone.

Lu Yao guessed that the child's problem with wearing glasses might have come from this.

And having dinner with Guo Zhengyuan...actually it felt pretty good.

He has his own understanding of everything, and the atmosphere among everyone is quite good.

However, at the end of the meal, he received a phone call and politely left the table.

Hu Li subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as I was about to speak, I looked up and saw my cousin who had left the table walking towards me with someone.

But her brows furrowed.

Lu Yao, who had been keeping an eye on her, instinctively turned his head to look.

I saw Guo Zhengyuan and a woman who looked to be around 50 years old walking towards this side.
