Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

Li Shuo looked in the direction of the voice and saw a beautiful white figure appearing in the center of the stage. It was Jin Chen.

She was wearing a white feather dress, as elegant as a white swan. The only thing that made Li Shuo feel sorry was that because the accompaniment was soothing traditional Chinese music, all the dance moves were mainly graceful.

He can feel that this kind of dance has a strong artistic connotation, but young people, especially boys, naturally prefer Korean hip-hop style street dance. To put it bluntly, how can it attract attention or arouse the audience's emotions if it does not touch the edge or expose some things?

"Where is your seat? Come on, let's go and take a look."

Lan Ying'er pulled Li Shuo, and Li Shuo had no choice but to say goodbye to Chen Liyao and then took her to the first row.

Perhaps because the first row was the judges' seat, the seats here were not full. In fact, more than half of the seats were empty. There were also a small number of brave students who poked their heads out and sat in the corners on both sides.

Li Shuo was about to sit down at the side, but the boy sitting at the edge of the first row glanced at him and said:

"Classmate, the seats in the first row are for the judges... Well, I'm in charge of delivering flowers to the stage, so I'm sitting here temporarily..."

As he spoke, he raised the bouquet of roses in his hand.

Lan Ying'er was not angry, but asked with a smile: "Who are you sending flowers to?"

"Of course it's this morning!" the boy held his head high.

Lan Ying'er raised her eyebrows and asked, "You gave Lan Ying'er flowers, but you didn't recognize me?"

"Ah?" The boy was stunned...

Soon, Wei Donghe and his sister came over and introduced Lan Ying'er...

Li Shuo sat casually in the middle left of the first row, ignoring the "intrigues" of these students.

To Li Shuo, trivial matters like Dong Dong's were just the wanton display of youthful hormones. Not only did they not make him angry, but they made him laugh. He even wanted to unconsciously blend in and feel the vitality of youth...

She raised her head and just happened to see Jin Chen, who was in the center of the stage, looking over at her. Although she was under the spotlight, she still caught Li Shuo in the audience at a glance. After all, he was in the first row and was still quite eye-catching.

Jin Chen had a happy smile on her pretty face, and even unconsciously threw him a wink...

"Ouch!" "Shhh~"

The boys in the audience were suddenly in an uproar, a hooligan whistle suddenly sounded, and the atmosphere was made extremely hot by Jin Chen's look.

Li Shuo laughed at first, but then realized that there was something wrong with Jin Chen's look. The judges sitting in the first row could easily sense who the ball was thrown to...

"Li Shuo, why are you here?"

A strong and fragrant breeze blew in from the right, and Li Shuo instantly knew it was Chen Guanwei. As a virgin in her 30s, this woman was a young mature woman, and she always wore a strong Chanel No. 6 perfume. This was the knowledge that Lan Ying'er had popularized to him at the last Beijing Cultural and Creative Industry Celebration Banquet.

Li Shuo's face froze, and his mind raced: Chen Guanwei didn't like him because she felt that she was not worthy of Shao Yiying, and also because she didn't like men! If she knew that he brought Lan Ying'er to see Jin Chen... then the consequences...

Li Shuo didn't see that when Chen Guanwei sat next to him, Lan Ying'er immediately stopped and pulled the Wei brothers and sisters to sit far away.

"What's going on? That's Professor Chen, right? Does he know Li Shuo?"

"Well, I met him before."

Although she said this, Lan Ying'er was also very curious about the relationship between Li Shuo and Chen Guanwei. She glanced over from time to time, but she really didn't want to get close to them: Chen Guanwei was even more powerful than Zhou Huanian. In the entire entertainment industry, the status of movies was generally higher than that of the art department. This also gave her more say. Anyone who knew her in the industry had to keep their necks down in front of her.

Even Jin Chen, who was on the stage, immediately looked away when he saw Chen Guanwei sitting next to Li Shuo, and didn't dare to look at Li Shuo anymore...

"Zhou Yi's company gave me a ticket and asked me to come and watch the game..."

"Zhou Huanian gave you the ticket? Humph, he's not a good guy, you should stay away from him!"

This sermon had some flavor of an elder. Li Shuo relaxed a little when he saw Lan Ying'er didn't come over. He smiled and said, "I've heard about Zhou Huanian's deeds, but since I'm in the capital, I naturally have to interact with him."

Chen Guanwei glanced at him and said bluntly, "You mean, if I'm willing to support Shuoguo, you can stop associating with Zhou Huanian?"

Without waiting for Li Shuo to answer, she snorted coldly and said, "As long as you behave properly, you can report our Chen family's name when you get into trouble! Zhijun called me yesterday and we talked about you..."

The woman only said half of her words and then stopped talking, but Li Shuo understood: Chen Zhijun must have said a lot of good things about him, but Chen Guanwei was rude to him last time, so now she naturally wanted to save face and didn't want to lose face in front of him, so she praised him instead.

Thinking of this, Li Shuo completely relaxed. He nodded and said, "My uncle is a very good person. The Shuoguo Department wants to build a security branch, and he has his full support..."

Chen Guanwei said calmly: "But you also helped him solve many of his comrades' work problems after they retired. Come on, don't play tricks on me here. I admit that you are better than I expected. If you can marry Yiying in the future, I will allow you to call me aunt!"

Judging from the strong personality she displayed, this showed her great respect for Li Shuo.

Li Shuo actually has a very peaceful personality and does not easily cause trouble. Logically, he would go with the flow and make a promise, changing his address to "Auntie", which would greatly improve his relationship with Chen Guanwei.

But he was very unhappy with Chen Guanwei from the beginning to the end: You are from the Chen family! Why are you so arrogant? Aunt? Sooner or later, I will make you call Yiying a sister!

As the darkest and most violent thoughts in his heart arose, Li Shuo quickly shook his head, raised his head and looked at the stage, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "If Sister Shao is willing to marry me, I will naturally marry her, and there is no need for others to urge me..."

He didn't say a word of calling her aunt.

Chen Guanwei naturally understood what he meant. She turned her head and looked at him in surprise, saying, "I always thought that your temperament didn't match your age, but now I realize that you are indeed a 20-year-old boy..."

Then he said with interest: "Little boy, I'm in a good mood today. Let me teach you a lesson. When facing an elder who is related to you, especially an elder who holds a certain amount of power, you should bow your head. Because if you bow your head, you can gain benefits that ordinary people cannot get in their lifetime!"

"I heard that Shuoguo Culture and Huaying have close cooperation, especially the new project "The Invisible Guardian" with you as the main player. This is the script you wrote yourself, and you are ambitiously planning to develop film, television, and games. However, Shuoguo Culture has only produced the game part, and there is no news about the TV series and movies. Do you know the reason?"

Chen Guanwei had investigated Li Shuo, so he was not surprised to hear these secrets from her. However, the implication behind her words gave Li Shuo an idea: "Although we have shared a lot of profits with Huaying and even gave up the film and television production rights of the project, it is not specific enough. No one can benefit from it, so naturally no one is enthusiastic about promoting these projects?"

Although it was a question, Li Shuo already understood it in his mind.

Chen Guanwei nodded approvingly and commented: "It's not easy for you to think of this at such a young age. If you want to accomplish something, you must take care of all aspects and make sure that the interests are specifically involved in everyone's affairs. Only in this way can you effectively mobilize forces... How about it? I'll organize a dinner party tomorrow, and you can accompany me as a junior?"

Li Shuo's heart beat fast when he heard this. He could imagine that as a big shot in the film industry, Chen Guanwei's dinner parties would definitely not be limited to the influence of Huaying, and could even directly open up the situation in Beijing for him!

At this time, a voice came from the stage:

"...Please give us your scores..."

At the same time, the spotlight also shone on the first row, especially on Chen Guanwei.

Li Shuo was stunned for a moment, then he realized that the Beijing Dance Competition had a live scoring session, but he just didn't sit down so he didn't know about it.

"That was your friend just now?"

Chen Guanwei was calm under the spotlight. She asked Li Shuo a question with interest, and then without waiting for his answer, she raised the sign: "I give 10 points!"

The host on the stage immediately shouted exaggeratedly: "Professor Chen gave the Jinchen team a super high score of 10 points. This is also the first time that Professor Chen gave a full score. What about other professors?"

There was a lot of noise from the audience. Li Shuo vaguely felt that Chen Guanwei was known for her harshness, and it was quite shocking for him to be given a full score by her.

"10 points"

"9 points"

"9 points"

There are a total of 5 special judges in the first row, 3 of them gave full marks, and the other 3 all scored 9 points!

Li Shuo didn’t know how Jin Chen danced, but he knew that Jin Chen was able to get such a high score entirely because of the “10 points” sign held up by Chen Guanwei!

"Now, please invite the judges to give the scores..."

In response to the host's voice, Li Shuo gave the winner a full score of 10 without any nonsense. To his surprise, the scores given by the other two on-site judges were not high.

Of course, despite this, Jin Chen and her team still won the highest score in the semi-finals.

A new group of people came on stage again, and the spotlight was removed. Chen Guanwei was still very interested in chatting with Li Shuo: "The special guests are all acquaintances. When they saw that I gave them high scores, they would naturally give me face. The judges on the scene are people from the business community. Their scores are relatively random, but they are not without traces. Generally, their scores will be between 7 and 8. If they meet someone they support, they will directly give full marks. But this time, the other two directly gave the girl a score of 6. Do you know why?"

Thinking of the Beijing Dance girl who accompanied Zhou Huanian during lunch, Li Shuo said calmly: "Because the scores this morning were too high, they need to suppress them, otherwise the people they promoted will have no chance."

"You really have a thorough understanding of these things. You are indeed a talent! How about it? Do you want to come to the dinner tomorrow?"

Chen Guanwei felt that the time was right and Li Shuo would definitely not refuse.

"Thank you for your kindness, Auntie. Shuoguo has just started in Beijing, and I won't invest too much energy in it. Let's talk about it later."

This is the truth. Li Shuo has long determined the development path of a reborn person of "staying away from politics". Perhaps he will enjoy some political dividends, but he will not get involved. After all, he has been reborn, so why should he get involved in those complicated and troublesome things?

Beijing is the political center, and the Shuoguo Group must inevitably expand its influence here. However, it would be enough to set up a branch, recruit a few people, establish some cooperative relationships, and ensure that the Shuoguo Group is "sharp-eyed and sharp-eared". There is really no need to have too many conflicts of interest!

But others couldn't understand Li Shuo's state of mind, not even Chen Guanwei. She widened her eyes in surprise and even got a little angry for a moment: "Li Shuo, I thought you were a smart person! Think carefully, the opportunity I proposed is not something that everyone can get!"

"Auntie, you misunderstood. I was telling the truth."

"You should just call me Professor Chen!"

"Um, Sister Chen..."

As soon as this name came out, there was a sudden silence between the two!

Li Shuo didn't think there was anything wrong with it: if he couldn't call her "Auntie" like Shao Yiying, then he could only call Chen Guanwei, who was still young and beautiful, "sister". What's the problem?

However, Chen Guanwei has almost never been called like this by men. It is a recognized fact in the circle that she doesn't like men. Even if the most handsome young man in the circle calls her sister, she will only criticize him!

She looked at Li Shuo fiercely, but for a moment she couldn't think of how to "punish" him. After all, it was because of Yiying. That niece had lived with her sister in a small county town since she was a child, all alone...

"Um, Professor, you're looking for me?"

Just when the atmosphere was tense, Li Yitong appeared in front of Chen Guanwei. She had changed out of her tight black dance costume and put on a pure school uniform, but...

The navel in the center of her exposed slender waist was inlaid with a light blue gem, and there was a platinum patterned low bra next to it. Under the red and black plaid skirt that didn't reach her knees, a white sling was tied to her thin white silk stockings...

Even though Li Shuo was used to seeing all kinds of beautiful scenery, he swallowed and looked away involuntarily. Then he saw that Chen Guanwei was also squinting her eyes, just like Zhou Huanian looked at the Beijing Dance Academy students at noon, staring at Li Yitong for a full 10 seconds!

"Hey, Sister Chen, I'll take my leave first!"

Although Li Shuo still didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the address, he could sense that the atmosphere was not right, so he took the opportunity to stand up.

"Sit down, I have something to talk to you about!"

Chen Guanwei's face turned serious, but then she smiled kindly at Li Yitong, and said like an old hand at picking up girls: "Yitong, huh? You danced well just now. Come here, come over to me, and we'll have a good chat later..."

What the hell is going on! Li Shuo almost wanted to cover his face when he saw Chen Guanwei's expression, thinking, Sister Shao, why is your aunt like this?

Li Yitong sat down on the other side of Chen Guanwei and answered all of Chen Guanwei's questions like a good girl. Li Shuo could see that the two women seemed to be meeting for the first time and Chen Guanwei was still in the familiarization stage. He was getting a little impatient waiting. Just at this moment, a group of dances on the stage finished and the spotlights came on again. He raised the sign before Chen Guanwei:

"0 points"
