Lu Sheng still had work to attend to, so he made a call to have someone come over and show Lin Qingyan around the company.
A cold and aloof young man, Lu Yuqi had short hair dyed granny-gray, black earrings, and was dressed in a T-shirt with ripped jeans. When Lu Yuqi appeared, Lin Qingyan was a little slow to react.
Lu Yuqi’s gaze lingered on the clean, handsome young man for a moment before calmly turning towards Lu Sheng. “Brother, did you need something?”
“Let me introduce someone to you,” Lu Sheng said, casually hooking his arm around Lin Qingyan’s shoulder with a cheerful smile. “This handsome guy here is Lin Qingyan. He officially joined Yihua Entertainment today. Show him around.”
Lin Qingyan hid his surprise and politely greeted Lu Yuqi, “Hello, I’m Lin Qingyan.”
With his hands in his pockets, the cold-faced young man simply responded with three indifferent words: “Lu Yuqi.”
Lin Qingyan didn’t find the response off-putting. He thought that this person was just as he’d imagined: cool and full of personality.
In his previous life, he had watched the show “Tomorrow’s Stars”, and Lu Yuqi had been the trainee who’d eventually debut in the center position.
Lin Qingyan had a strong impression of Lu Yuqi because of his cool and aloof demeanor. Even in front of the cameras, he didn’t talk much, refused to flatter anyone, and wore his emotions clearly on his face. He even dared to openly show his disdain for trainees he didn’t like, going as far as pissing someone off to the point of making them cry on camera.
Lu Yuqi was completely different from others who pretended in front of the camera. He was genuine, and Lin Qingyan actually preferred dealing with someone like him. At least someone who revealed their true nature upfront was far better than those who hid knives behind their smiles.
As the younger brother of Lu Sheng, Yihua Entertainment’s general manager, and the cousin of Gu Fei, the head of the Gu Corporation, Lu Yuqi indeed had the right to be arrogant.
Lu Sheng stood in place, watching the young man’s departing figure. His eyes slightly narrowed, and with a hint of amusement, he softly clicked his tongue. “Interesting, really interesting…”
Lu Yuqi showed Lin Qingyan around the company. He carefully pointed out different areas and explained what each place was. Other than that, he didn’t say much else.
The company was quite large, and along the way, they encountered several stylish, handsome men and beautiful women. Lin Qingyan couldn’t help say, “Um, actually, you don’t have to worry about me. If you have things to do, go ahead. I can just walk around myself.”
Lu Yuqi stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the boy behind him with a hint of inquiry and scrutiny in his eyes. It wasn’t until Lin Qingyan started feeling a bit uncomfortable under his gaze that Lu Yuqi finally spoke, “My brother said… Gu Fei personally brought you here?”
Lin Qingyan felt a bit helpless inside. He guessed that Lu Yuqi, like his brother Lu Sheng, probably thought he got into Yihua Entertainment by clinging onto Gu Fei’s connections. Well, they weren’t wrong—without Gu Fei, he wouldn’t have made it into Yihua Entertainment.
“Nothing, just curious.” Lu Yuqi maintained his cold and cool expression, without a hint of disdain or contempt in his eyes. He then unexpectedly added, “You should be very good.” After that, Lu Yuqi turned around and walked ahead. “Follow me.”
“…” Was that a compliment? Lin Qingyan was a bit puzzled, but he still followed. He had the impression that this very unique “prince” didn’t have any ill intentions toward him.
The Gu Corporation’s headquarters weren’t far from Yihua Entertainment, only about a 15-minute drive.
After finishing his meeting at 11:45 AM, Gu Fei immediately drove out to pick up Lin Qingyan for lunch. However, when he arrived at Yihua Entertainment and called, there was no answer. He then called Lu Sheng, who in turn contacted Lu Yuqi.
In a dance studio on the third floor, dynamic music was playing. Following the sound, Gu Fei walked to the door and looked inside.
There were only two people inside the spacious room. Lu Yuqi was resting on the floor and waved at the man standing at the door before turning his gaze. In his line of sight, a young man dressed in a white shirt and black trousers was dancing to the rhythm of the music.
Lin Qingyan hadn’t danced in a long time. Since his current body never practiced before, his movements were still a bit awkward and stiff, requiring more time to refine.
After dancing for a few more minutes, he stopped. His pale face was covered in a fine sheen of sweat, and his cheeks were flushed from exertion. He bent over to catch his breath, unaware that Gu Fei had already approached him from behind.
“Want some water?”
“Brother Fei, when did you get here?” Lin Qingyan instinctively took the bottle of spring water. Dampened with sweat, his face showed surprise and delight. His bright, moist eyes sparkled like a kitten that had just spotted its owner.
“Just now.” Gu Fei reached out and gently brushed aside the slightly messy hair on the young man’s forehead. His thin lips moved as he said, “You danced well just now.”
On the other side, Lu Yuqi, who’d been completely ignored, felt his mouth twitch. He silently averted his gaze, thinking that if he kept watching, he might go blind.
Gu Fei intended to take Lin Qingyan out for lunch, and Lu Yuqi, being tactful enough, declined their invitation. He wanted to eat a meal, not dog food. Perhaps neither of them knew how ambiguous the atmosphere between them was.
After ten minutes, the two entered the car.
“How did it go today?” Gu Fei asked.
Lin Qingyan seemed to be in a very good mood. The corners of his eyes and mouth lifted slightly, and he spoke with the enthusiasm of a child, “It was great! The company is huge. Mr. Lu is also really nice, and I even made a new friend.”
The man beside him responded with a calm, “Hmm,” but his gaze never left the young man.
“But, um, I have a question for you.”
“Hmm?”
“Why did you let me join Yihua Entertainment?”
“What do you think?” Gu Fei deflected the question back to him.
Lin Qingyan hesitated for a moment before asking, “Is it because of our relationship?”
“Hmm?” Gu Fei suddenly leaned in, closing the distance between them. His deep eyes seemed to hold an inexplicable emotion as he spoke in a low voice, “What do you think our relationship is?”
He paused for a moment, then called the young man’s name, “Qingyan.”
