Which top celebrity doesn't support a few female stars?

Chapter 80 At worst, I'll start over in 18 years.

Two beeps came from the phone's receiver, and the call was connected.

Li Zhougang took a breath and before he could speak, Xu Qingyi across from him preemptively said, "Boss Li, would you do me the honor of having a casual dinner tonight?"

Upon hearing this, even though it was over the phone, Li Zhou's face immediately showed vigilance: "Boss, you've changed too—"

"Isn't this prosperous era supposed to be one where we never have to passively attend business dinners?"

Before Xu Qingyi could speak, Li Zhou quickly added, "Just tell me, who are the people I need to curry favor with at tonight's dinner party?"

Xu Qingyi: "————"

She only knew that Li Zhou was finishing filming and returning to Guangzhou today, and she happened to receive a call, so she invited Xiao Li to have a meal together. How did this happen—

But, well—on the other hand, this Qili Bali can be quite perceptive at times.

It sounds slow, but it was only a fleeting thought before Xu Qingyi answered frankly, "And Miaoyin too."

Then, annoyed, he said, "Stop whining to me. You know where this is. Take a bus here yourself. Come at 6 o'clock, not too early or too late."

Li Zhou immediately and tactfully replied, "Okay, see you tonight, boss."

He just didn't really like meeting Ke Miaoyin alone, who was living alone in a foreign land, but occasionally accompanying her for a meal was fine.

As for the Spring Festival Gala, there's no rush. It's more direct to talk about it in person.

At 5:51, Li Zhou arrived at the familiar private manor clubhouse by car.

It was quite a coincidence.

As soon as Li Zhou got out of the car, an ordinary Hongqi MPV pulled up behind him.

The person who got out of the car was Ke Miaoyin.

This car isn't expensive; the highest price is only around 50 yuan, far lower than the Alphard and Relfa.

However, the license plate with Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao registration on the car is quite interesting, as the numbers on the license plate are exactly the same.

It's probably just a coincidence that they all got the same set of numbers when applying for license plates—otherwise, why would they be on a car that's not worth much?

:

Ke Miaoyin, who had just gotten off the bus, saw Li Zhou and her eyes lit up. She immediately started running over, greeting him as she ran: "Brother Li, long time no see!"

"Long time no see." Li Zhou nodded with a smile.

The two chatted about trivial things and walked together to their reserved suite.

During the process, Li Zhou also learned that good students have a particularly fulfilling college life.

It almost made Ke Miaoyin lose all interest in music and being a singer —

As the hostess, Xu Qingyi was quite knowledgeable about basic etiquette and arrived at the private room early.

They were all familiar with each other, so they sat down on their own, chatted and laughed, and soon started eating and drinking.

Nothing serious was mentioned at the dinner table.

It wasn't until he watched Ke Miaoyin get into the car and leave that Li Zhou came back to his senses—he guessed that Boss Xu had suddenly had a change of heart.

They felt that Li had devoted himself wholeheartedly to the development and growth of Shengshi, and deserved their care in terms of his daily life.

After all, he was just an ordinary citizen named Li, who rarely got to eat anything good, so he could certainly satisfy his cravings at this club.

Watching the Hongqi car disappear at the end of the street, Li Zhou suddenly pointed and asked, "Boss, do you think those three license plates are prettier, or am I?"

Xu Qingyi chuckled softly, "Is that even a question? Of course, it's because you're prettier."

Then he added, "I understand what you mean. You're saying that the examples of class disparities you've mentioned many times before are actually easy to find—"

"Yeah," Li Zhou admitted frankly. "Don't say I'm not smart enough, even if I were an idiot, I'd immediately become intelligent upon seeing this kind of license plate."

"I've made some money now, and if I were willing to spend it, I could get a license plate with something like '88888,' but—"

Hearing Li Zhou's half-finished sentence, Xu Qingyi deliberately clicked her tongue: "It's a pity I'm a low-key person—otherwise I would have shown you something."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhou waved his hand vigorously: "No need, no need. After deducing Miss Ke's identity, I already understand what 'social circles' means."

"It's no exaggeration to say that even if I cut myself right now and splattered blood all over the ground, it wouldn't compare to a single drop of your sweat."

This analogy amused Xu Qingyi: "You're really bold, knowing full well what's going on, yet you still dare to say you want me to sexually harass you."

In response, Li Zhou immediately declared confidently, "The timid starve, the bold thrive; the opportunity is right in front of us, we have to give it our all."

"At worst, I can start over in 18 years."

These words prompted Xu Qingyi to give him a thumbs up: "You truly are amazing."

Well, putting aside Xu Qingyi's father's family background, her mother, Ms. Zeng, came from a family with a long tradition of scholarship and generations of scholars.

Ms. Zeng was very lucky. She was born in her aunt's later years and was deeply loved by her aunt and kept by her side. She was the apple of her aunt's eye.

Li Zhou's saying that sweat is redder than blood mainly comes from Ms. Zeng's aunt, who genuinely participated in countless server launches through her own abilities.

In short, Ms. Zeng has received proactive care from several prominent families since childhood.

After a long, rambling conversation, Li Zhou got into Xu Qingyi's car. Xu Qingyi then brought up the important matter: "What did you call me about this afternoon?"

Li Zhou didn't mince words: "The Spring Festival Gala invited me, and I'd like to ask you, boss, for your opinion."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingyi looked Li Zhou up and down: "Boss Li is quite something, making it onto the Spring Festival Gala stage after only three years in the industry."

Without pausing, Xu Qingyi continued chattering, "If you ask me for my opinion, then it's to go."

-

"Although I never watch the Spring Festival Gala and know that it hasn't been doing so well in recent years, its audience is still quite broad."

"This could potentially boost your popularity even further, and you're already quite recognizable among young people."

In my personal opinion, this will be beneficial for your future film promotion.

After listening patiently, Li Zhou bluntly stated: "The Spring Festival Gala production team has too high expectations. They already have 'Rice Fragrance,' and they actually expect me to write a new song."

"This makes me a little worried that future collaborations might not be so pleasant."

After a moment's thought, Xu Qingyi said frankly, "You're probably overthinking it."

"Song programs are not language-based programs. It's just that if the new song doesn't meet the program's requirements, you can continue to sing 'Rice Fragrance' on stage."

"Of course, if anything really weird or strange happens, I'll take action."

What Li Zhou was waiting for was this sentence: "With you, boss, protecting me, I feel at ease."

This puzzled Xu Qingyi: "This isn't like you. It's not like you're incapable of handling such a small matter."

Li Zhou explained frankly, "As long as it's within the scope of market competition, I will definitely do my best to handle it myself, which demonstrates my value."

"But when dealing with officials, I have to consider administrative factors first to avoid accidentally falling into a trap."

At this point, Li Zhou looked at Xu Qingyi and said meaningfully, "After all, the price for asking for help beforehand is very different from that for asking for help afterward."

Xu Qingyi didn't mind at all; on the contrary, she was quite pleased: "That's good, you're quite good at keeping accounts."

'

With Xu Qingyi's promise, Li Zhou no longer needed to hesitate and quickly began the song selection process.

And so—two days later, Li Zhou finally made his choice and wrote down a song title.

He then set off for Zhaoqing.
