Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 162 Intertwined

Chapter 162 Intertwined
Huang Linjiang is a very enthusiastic person.

This was Lu Yao’s first feeling after they met.

While they were chatting, many people's phone numbers appeared on his phone, and they made an appointment to hang out together after they arrived in Shanghai.

However, after learning that Lu Yao was going back to his hometown this afternoon, these people felt very regretful. They said that they had originally wanted to take Lu Yao to try the specialties of Henan Province, such as Hu La Tang and Xiao Ji Hui Mian.

Then, because it was cold, Lu Yao invited them to go to his brother-in-law's house first.

Jin Pengfei watched a group of people enter the house, subconsciously glanced at Lu Yao, and felt a chill in his heart.

But...anyway, everything about the wedding went smoothly.

A little after 9 o'clock, the motorcade set out to pick up the bride.

Lu Yao took Huang Linjiang's car.

As soon as he got into the car, Hu Li called.

Lu Yao's mouth twitched...

After the call was connected, he said:

"Hey, Sister Li."

"Hehe...ah? Is there someone next to you?"

"Right... Why are you calling me at this time? It's almost 2 o'clock there, right?"

"Yeah, I just came out of the club with my friends... Oh yeah, you're back home, right? Are you there yet?"

As soon as Lu Yao heard her tone, he knew she was drunk.

Speechless asked:
"Drunk? Started talking nonsense?"

"Uh...hahaha, it was a bit too much. I haven't seen some of my college classmates for a long time, so I drank a little too much. Then let me tell you, I'm staying at my classmate's house tonight. The one I mentioned to you last time, her mother is Jazz's Elena..."

"Well, okay, I'm picking up the bride right here."

"Are you coming to marry me...Oh yes, hahaha, just ignore what I said, brother Lu Yao, have fun, hahahaha..."

Doodle.

The phone hangs up.

Lu Yao was speechless, thinking that he was really drunk.

Huang Linjiang, who was driving over there, asked:
"Brother Lu, the person you call Sister Li...is Sister Hu Li?"

"Yes, you know him too?"

"This...haha, I've seen it before, but I'm not familiar with it."

When he said this, he smiled a little awkwardly.

"It's okay. When you guys come to the Magic City, I'll introduce you. Sister Li is a very nice person."

"Brother Lu is very familiar with her?"

Lu Yao thought, how could they not be familiar with each other.

She knows my strengths and weaknesses and I know her depth.

"Ah."

"Haha, that's it..."

Huang Linjiang's heart trembled...

Apart from Brother Chen, this is the second person he knows who is so familiar with Hu Li.

Hu Li is notoriously difficult to deal with.

This person...is not simple.

……

"Do you know whose car this is?"

Sitting in the Rolls-Royce, Jin Pengfei whispered to his wife.

After all, there is a driver driving the car, and it would definitely not be appropriate to clap crickets openly.

"?"

Seeing his wife's puzzled look, he leaned close to her ear again:

"The Rolls-Royce of Jianye's CEO. His license plate number is well-known among our traffic police..."

"Uh……"

Han Xiaowen was a little confused for a moment.

To be honest, she just felt that it was so glorious to be sitting in the middle of the convoy with a sports car in front and a Mercedes-Benz in the back.

But I never thought there was any story behind this car.

"The kid driving the white Ferrari just now also has the last name Huang."

"..."

Looking at his surprised daughter-in-law, he couldn't help but ask:

"What's the matter with your brother? He doesn't seem to be an ordinary person."

"...No, Lu Yao is just...quite ordinary."

Han Xiaowen shook her head:
"I'm just a good student, nothing else. Didn't I tell you that the uncle drives a trailer and the aunt works at the vehicle management office?"

"..."

Jin Pengfei was speechless for a moment.

But...how could an ordinary person be so familiar with someone who is suspected to be the son of Jianye?

It's impossible no matter how you think about it.

but……

This Rolls-Royce Phantom is really comfortable to sit in.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Everything about the wedding went smoothly.

But Lu Yao felt a little guilty for asking people to get up early in the morning to pick up the bride, but Huang Linjiang left before they even had breakfast.

He also pushed back many of the red envelopes that Han Jun brought, not taking a single cent from them, and even gave each person a red envelope of one thousand yuan.

Lu Yao's face was instantly restored.

He was very grateful.

But I can only send messages to each other. When the other party comes to Shanghai, we must get together.

Looking at his sister and brother-in-law hugging and kissing on the stage, he unconsciously clapped and pondered at the same time.

Soon, the luncheon where the newlyweds tied the knot was over.

Lu Yao and Lu Yuanshan took a bus back to his hometown in Kaifeng with their relatives who were brought over from their hometown.

Kaifeng is very close to Zhengzhou. Although his home is in a village on the outskirts of Kaifeng, it is not far away.

After arriving home more than an hour later, the relatives at home were busy greeting each other again.

The house in his hometown was also cleaned up by Lu Yao's second uncle.

Looking at the old man sitting in the yard to bask in the sun, he shouted:
"grandfather."

"Eh."

The old man, whose teeth were almost falling out, was smiling happily.

Although this grandson has not been around since he was a child, the closeness connected by blood comes from instinct.

There was nothing special about the old man who had worked hard all his life. The only way he expressed his emotion was to take out a red envelope that he had prepared for a long time.

There were two hundred dollars in it.

For the New Year's money in my rural hometown, it is already the best treatment.

Lu Yao happily accepted it, and then helped his father spread out all the luggage in the house.

Sitting in the countryside of his hometown which was even colder than Shanghai, feeling the scent of yellow earth blowing in his face, he took a deep breath.

Ok.

Got home.

……

As far as Lu Yao's memory goes, he actually had not spent many New Years in his hometown.

It can even be said that he is closer to his grandmother's family than his grandma's family, after all, his grandmother's family raised him since he was a child.

But... maybe it's because of the age difference? This year he clearly felt that the people in Henan Province had become more friendly.

Especially my eldest aunt, when she went back to her parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year, she brought a lot of gifts for my father, all of which could be shipped back to Shanghai.

The sound of firecrackers bid farewell to the old year, and in the first few days of the new year, he started playing mahjong with nothing to do.

When he was in Sichuan and Chongqing, he would play, but he wasn't addicted. But back home, he was bored, so he and a few uncles and brothers set up a table and played all day.

One dollar per hand, the daily winnings and losses are no more than thirty to fifty dollars.

The elders played bigger games, and they played a game called Pushing the Cake, which was pure gambling.

Lu Yuanshan lost one or two thousand yuan, and although he felt bad, he was embarrassed not to go because his relatives asked him to go. Fortunately, he finally let it go, and he could afford to lose one or two thousand yuan. However, when he was waiting for the bus on the fifth day of the New Year, he kept complaining to Lu Yao that his family members didn't earn much, but they played bigger cards than others.

One of his cousins lost nearly 10,000 yuan during the Chinese New Year, and he doesn't know how he spent the New Year...

But no matter what, this year has passed.

Soon, a Toyota Corolla arrived in front of the two people.

The person who got off the bus was Jin Pengfei.

"Uncle, Lu Yao."

He smiled and said hello:
"I'll take you to the airport."

Lu Yuanshan was stunned.

Quickly refuse, meaning he is welcome.

But Lu Yao felt like laughing.

The reason is simple. What kind of farewell sentiment can make a person who lives in Zhengzhou travel all the way back to the village just to see himself and his father off?

Others may not know, but he can probably guess it.

Finally, with Jin Pengfei's enthusiasm, Hua Guan sent the father and son to the airport. After agreeing to visit Shanghai when they have time, the father and son boarded the plane back to the east.

Then, around four o'clock in the afternoon, the two met Chen Aihua, who was carrying a lot of bags.

In her words, these things were all bought by Lu Qing, using the money he earned from working.

I bought a wallet for my dad and a coat for my mom.

I also bought two ties for my brother.

Ever since she found out her brother started wearing suits, she has been thinking about it.

When asked about Lu Qing's situation, although it was all mentioned on the phone, after the family got together, Chen Aihua still said with some joy:
"It's good over there. Lu Qing found a very easy job. He just records the number of trucks carrying goods at the dock every day. When a truck arrives, he hands the bill over for them to sign. When the truck leaves, he stamps it. It's a very easy job and he earns 20,000 to 30,000 a month. It's really great...Yaoyao, Mom bought a bottle of French perfume. It's quite expensive. You can send it to Mr. Xu later."

"Ok."

Lu Yao agreed directly.

"We have really met a noble person."

Ms. Chen was filled with emotion.

And from what Lu Yao heard... Lu Qing probably didn't tell her about Wu Nan.

Tsk.

The dog hid it really deep.

But... no matter what, my sister is in stable condition and the whole family breathed a sigh of relief.

After returning home, Ms. Chen started talking to her husband about their experiences abroad.

For example, Paris stinks, and no one knows where the smell comes from.

Smoky.

Lu Yao thought to himself, Mom, what you smelled might be the scent of hemp leaves.

For example, the seafood in Nice is delicious and cheap.

Such a big crab for only a few euros...

Then she showed off her French.

Things like "stupid pig" and "Salu".

In short, Ms. Chen, who went abroad for the first time in her life, seemed to have gained a lot.

Lu Yuanshan was filled with regret after hearing this and decided to go by himself next time.

The family returned home talking and laughing. As dinner ended, Lao Lu's home returned to peace.

Lu Yao also took advantage of these few days to produce demos of several songs.

"Flowers", "Dreaming of a Childlike Heart", "Guo Yuanchao", "Defiant Youth", "Anhe Bridge", "Knowing Me" and after much thought, the last song is "Fairy Tale Town" which is not so rock and roll but more folk-like.

He planned to let the class monitor sing the song "Fairy Tale Town" solo.

After all, she sings pretty well.

Since they are all copied, one is not too few and seven is not too many.

After recording the demos using the microphone at home and the guitar, he sent them all to Wu Mengqi.

then……

Wu Mengqi exploded.

About an hour later, I called Lu Yao.

first sentence:

"Lu Yao, did you write all these yourself?"

"Uh, yes, Mr. Wu, is there any problem?"

Hearing his question, Wu Mengqi, who was overjoyed, said directly:
"No! There is no problem at all! Hahahaha! Okay, okay! Okay!"

He really hadn't heard a demo of this quality in a long time.

Even if it's just a guitar.

Even if it's just a sample. But...

Every song!

Every song in this demo has a distinct and unique style. Whether it is the melody, the lyrics, or the attitude between the lines...

This kid is a musical genius!
I found the treasure.

I really found a treasure!

Even if... these kids don't plan to sign.

But it is precisely because of this, and precisely because of this unique self-awareness, that such talented lyrics can be written, isn't it?

This kid... is a genius!

He has a feeling that this album will become a bestseller this year!

Because the quality of every song is so solid.

In today's sluggish music scene, it's like an atomic bomb!

And now... this atomic bomb will be created by my own hands...

To say I wasn't excited would be a lie.

So, he decided without hesitation to set aside the first half of this year to work on these seven songs.

I really can’t wait!

As for Wu Mengqi's excitement, Lu Yao actually felt it was okay.

After all, these songs became very popular later.

Moreover, he felt that Wu Mengqi was a very righteous person.

A gold medal producer has not taken a penny so far and is helping them produce albums out of pure appreciation. He is really a gentleman.

He was also very grateful.

But... when faced with the invitation from him to have all band members gather together for recording, Lu Yao refused without hesitation.

Are you kidding me...it's already the tenth day of the first lunar month.

He will board a plane to London tomorrow, how can he possibly go to record...

Whatever it is, let’s talk about it after Valentine’s Day.

……

On the eleventh day of the lunar year, that is, early in the morning on the 13th, Lu Yao carried his suitcase and said to his parents:

"Dad, take the money. I want to go to Shonan."

"…Why are you going to Shonan?"

Lu Yuanshan was a little confused.

"Let's go record. The demos of my songs were too crude, so Mr. Wu asked us to go to his studio to record."

Seeing his son playing guitar everyday, Lao Lu nodded immediately:

"Okay, how much do you want?"

"... Ten thousand, is that okay? I'm sure you won't be able to use it all, so I'll give you the rest."

"Row!"

Lao Lu, who was particularly generous when it came to money, came to Lu Yao's computer with a U-shield without saying a word and transferred 10,000 yuan to him.

"How many days will it take?"

"Probably two or three days. Teacher Wu has just resumed work, so he's probably very busy."

Lu Yuanshan immediately expressed his understanding.

He checked this person's information and found out that he was Jane Zhang's music producer. He was indeed quite talented.

Lu Yao felt at ease now that he had money in his hands.

In fact, he still had his girlfriend's credit card in his wallet...he just hadn't used it.

Although we, Lao Lu, have to live off others, at least we can maintain our spiritual "independence and freedom".

Well, just for this reason, ordinary pretty boys can't compare to him.

With food in hand, he was not in a hurry and walked out of the house dragging his suitcase.

It seemed that he had no intention of going abroad at all, and it was this attitude that made Lu Yuanshan not think too much about it. Even when Ms. Chen came back in the evening and saw that her son was missing, she asked about it and after learning that he had gone to record a video, she did not ask any more questions.

Lu Yao had already boarded a plane to England early.

……

He had been to London.

Been there twice.

One time was in 16 when I followed my mentor, and the other time was to attend the high-tech talent exchange meeting among China, Britain and France.

Sitting on the plane, he looked at the foggy London below and was actually quite emotional.

Since he joined the institute, he could no longer go abroad at will. This feeling of freedom to go anywhere at will was really fresh.

Ok.

I don’t know how a woman would feel after receiving a surprise from him.

As he pondered, he pushed away the sleeping head of the foreign guy next to him who was smelling the boss.

His girlfriend has rarely contacted him in the past two days, especially from yesterday to now. Every time they contacted, she was either busy or with her family.

Logically speaking…you should be free on Valentine’s Day, right?
Not to mention pestering yourself with gifts...but at least there should be time for a meal.

He knew that his girlfriend had to take care of her grandmother, so he didn't ask for too much time.

Well.

How can I contact her?

He thought about it and checked the time on his phone.

He has not changed the time zone yet, and the time displayed on his phone is 23:17 p.m.

The time in London is around 3pm.

But... according to the East 43 District, there are still 2 minutes until February 14th.

He adjusted his sitting position.

After twelve hours of travel, although the economy class of international flights is wider than that of domestic airlines, it is still limited.

Sitting there is really no different from being in jail.

He was also a little tired.

Fortunately, the plane arrived safely.

The plane landed safely with my toes instinctively clenching in tension.

The English broadcast sounded, broadcasting the ground temperature, weather, etc. in London.

Lu Yao finally exited the airplane mode on his mobile phone.

But who would have thought... as soon as he exited the airplane mode, his phone started ringing like it exploded.

The first is the incoming call reminder.

Lu Yao instinctively opened it and saw more than seventy missed calls.

There are those from Xu Ruochen, those from Xu Ruochu, but the most common ones are from Hu Li.

Then there are the text messages.

Xu Ruochen:
"Where are you?"

"Why don't you answer the phone?"

"Fuck, Sister Li is going to explode."

"I took two punches for you."

"You damn scumbag."

"It's over. You're dead. Sister Li is going to sink you into the Huangpu River."

"She was about to cry."

"…You told your parents that you went to Shonan?"

"Where are you?"

"Where the hell are you?"

? ? ? ?
Lu Yao was stunned.

Instinctively, I clicked on Xu Ruochu's text message:
"Where are you?"

"Where in Shonan?"

"What about people?"

"Message me back after seeing it."

no……

Wait a minute...

He was a little confused, and clicked on the more than 140 messages from his girlfriend...

"Hehe, baby, I prepared a Valentine's Day gift for you."

"You go home now, the stuff has been delivered."

"? Why is your phone turned off?"

"?"

"What about people?"

“Why can’t the call go through?”

He had just seen these messages when suddenly, the phone rang.

It’s Hu Li’s.

"..."

Lu Yao answered the phone in confusion:

"Hey."

"Where are you! Lu Yao! Speak! Where the hell are you! I've been looking for you for the whole day, do you know? Where are you!! Wuuuuuu... I can't find you... wuuuuuu..."

My girlfriend's roar gradually turned into crying.

Lu Yao was also confused, and subconsciously asked back:
"Where... where are you?"

"I'm home! Woo woo woo woo ..."

“…Devil’s City!?”

"Yes! Where are you! Tell me where you are!!!"

Her voice turned gritted.

But I immediately heard my boyfriend's words:
“I’m in London.”

"……where?"

Hu Li was stunned.

"…London, Heathrow Airport."

"..."

Hu Li was confused.
