Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

Since investing in Irene Studio, the financial statements here have been delivered to Li Shuo's email on time. After reading them, he has a comprehensive understanding of Irene Studio.

For example, the top priority of Irene Studio is always large projects such as painting exhibitions and art shows, or promotional projects such as government cultural festivals. These things sound grand, but they are actually not profitable.

When Li Shuo first met Lu Ailin, she was contracted to design advertisements for Shuoguo E-Sports. That was a profitable project. It was not about how much money a project made, but that there were actually many similar projects.

But it was clear from the beginning that Lu Ailin did not like advertising design, and her studio did not focus on it. This was the root cause of Ailin's studio's lack of ability to make money.

"Um, is this the business advice given to me by the major shareholder?"

Lu Ailin was stunned for a moment, then she squinted her eyes and smiled: "No problem, I will expand the advertising department later, but the original intention of opening a studio is to go further on the road of art. I hope that one day I can hold my own art exhibition, so I will still stick to the art route!"

Li Shuo could sense that Lu Ailin was extremely reluctant to expand the advertising department, and she only did so because of his suggestion.

He didn't force her, and even moved closer to Irene, put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Don't worry, whatever you want to do, I will always be your strongest support! You also know that the 50 investment in the studio is nothing to me..."

At this point, without giving her room to be pretentious, he quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, the annual Drama Grand Prix officially opens this afternoon. Do you want to watch it together?"

Li Shuo felt that Irene would like this, and as soon as he proposed it, Irene's eyes immediately brightened up: "Theatre Grand Prix! Oh, I almost forgot about this. Where is it held this year? Let's go and take a look together!"

As he said this, he actually took Li Shuo's arm and looked like he was about to leave.

Li Shuo quickly said, "Aren't you going back to the studio? Don't you need to make some arrangements?"

"Look at me, I almost forgot, wait for me a moment!"

Lu Ailin returned to the studio excitedly, while Li Shuo stood there and called Wu Lu while waiting, mainly asking about the venue, time, and seats of the Drama Grand Prix. Before Lu Ailin became interested, he had never thought about going to see "opera". Since it was Lu Ailin, Li Shuo would naturally take it seriously.

This mixed-race beauty was Li Shuo’s goddess when he was just reborn. The wonderful charm brought by being mixed-race, coupled with her perfect face and noble aura similar to that of white, rich and beautiful women, made Li Shuo a little suppressed by her aura at that time!

Until now, it seems that the time has come...

Five minutes later, Lu Ailin came out, put her arm around Li Shuo, and said with a smile, "Let's go! This is a date that belongs to me alone."

The implication of this statement seems to be that Li Shuo has other women.

"Yes, I'm yours too"

Li Shuo replied with a smile, pretending not to understand, but because it was a love talk, Lu Ailin responded with a sweet smile.

The two walked downstairs side by side, and when they looked up, they saw a Mercedes-Benz S350 parked. The bodyguard and driver Li Qinghe got out of the car with great tact, opened the door for the two, and Li Shuo took Lu Ailin to sit in the back seat.

"Go to Lengyi Training Center"

Li Shuo gave Li Qinghe an order, and the S350 started and merged into the traffic.

Lu Ailin blinked curiously, and waited for a while before she said in surprise: "Great, Li Shuo, it's only been a few days since we last met, and you really act like a boss now!"

"What are you talking about? Didn't I have the demeanor of a boss before?"

"It's different. Even if you used to drive a Porsche 911, in other people's eyes, you were just a rich second-generation. It's not like now. Mercedes-Benz is not as expensive as Porsche, but in China, business people still recognize this, plus a driver..."

At this point, Lu Ailin rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "If you add a large manor and a nanny, you will have the classic configuration of a wealthy man!"

Li Shuo's heart was moved when he heard this. Although he had set three goals for himself when he came back from the capital, what he really wanted to do, in the final analysis, was just one sentence: relax and enjoy life.

In this case, we can actually arrange these necessary configurations!

A large manor, nannies and servants...

Li Shuo narrowed his eyes and said in agreement with Lu Ailin, "No, no, no, if you want to talk about style, Mercedes-Benz is just an ordinary luxury car after all. The top luxury car has to be Bentley, or even Rolls-Royce..."

"Tsk, everyone knows this! But a Bentley or a Rolls-Royce costs more than 500 million. Even if you have a net worth of hundreds of millions, you wouldn't spend money like that."

"That's impossible to say!"

Li Shuo laughed and had already made up his mind that when he came back, he would ask Li Qinghe to go to Shuoguo headquarters and drive the red Bentley over.

The two met again after a long separation, chatting and laughing all the way, the atmosphere was very harmonious. Lu Ailin also shared with Li Shuo her story about the Drama Grand Prix, saying that she participated in this competition when she was in school, and successfully defeated her rival Jiang Shuying, and signed a contract with Leng Yi, and then became friends with Jiang Shuying...

The S350 drove into the training center half an hour later. The two got out of the car and found that there were already many luxury cars parked in the yard, including Mercedes-Benz and BMW. The road was bustling with people coming and going, and a large number of them were students, not only from the drama academy, but also from other places in the Yangtze River Delta...

After getting off the bus, Lu Ailin became lively and pulled Li Shuo while walking and said, "Speaking of which, the cultural atmosphere in the Yangtze River Delta is very rich. Kunqu Opera originated here. In the past years, there have been Kunqu Opera descendants who have shined in the field of opera. I heard that there is also a Kunqu Opera descendant coming this year. I think her name is Li Ziqin. She is the true descendant of Kunqu Opera..."

Li Shuo was surprised that Lu Ailin knew Li Ziqin. Then he thought that since Li Ziqin starred in "New Red Mansion", she was not an ordinary student. It was not surprising that Lu Ailin knew her. However, he did not notice that Lu Ailin had already grabbed his hand, squeezed through the crowd, and entered a hall. This was the gathering place for contestants, and Li Ziqin was among them...

Lu Ailin looked around and then stuck out her tongue at Li Shuo: "Oh no, I forgot what the Kunqu opera heir looked like!"

Li Shuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It seems like you haven't watched "New Red Mansion" much!"

"I did watch it, but who would go out of their way to remember an insignificant little character?"

Lu Ailin was talking when suddenly a girl came over, looked at her with surprise and shouted, "Senior Ailin!"

Following this shout, everyone around looked over.

"She is Lu Ailin? The former double champion of the Drama Grand Prix!"

"Senior, you are my idol, please sign an autograph for me."

In an instant, the crowd was crowded, and Li Shuo was actually squeezed away from Lu Ailin by a thin-looking girl. The latter seemed to have anticipated such enthusiasm. She greeted everyone one by one and kindly took the pen handed to her and signed on the other's notebook.

Li Ziqin also came over at this time. She was originally watching Lu Ailin, but soon saw Li Shuo who was squeezed out of the crowd.

"Hey, Mr. Li?"

Li Ziqin patted Li Shuo on the shoulder.

"Li Ziqin, are you here to participate in the competition?"

"Um"

"Have you signed a contract with Shuoguo Culture?"

"Yes"

"I remember you said that you are the successor of Kunqu Opera. Are you going to sing Kunqu Opera on stage this time?"

"Yes, it's a classic Kunqu opera piece, but I made some minor changes to the lines..."

It was only the second time the two met, and Li Ziqin seemed a little reserved, because in her mind, Li Shuo was too great: Leng Yi's senior executive, Cao Jie's apprentice, and Li Shaohong's admired junior, no matter which one, his status and position was much higher than hers.

But when Li Shuo talked about Kunqu Opera, Li Ziqin's eyes lit up immediately and she began to talk non-stop. Although Li Shuo had no knowledge of this, he would occasionally chime in, making the girl feel like she had found a soulmate and she talked even more excitedly...

About five or six minutes later, the crowd around Lu Ailin gradually dispersed. She came up to him in surprise and said, "Li Shuo, so you know the successor of Kunqu Opera?"

Li Shuo smiled and said, "I didn't have time to tell you just now, this is Li Ziqin, the inheritor of Kunqu Opera. She is also a contracted artist of our Shuoguo Culture."

"Hello" "Hello, Senior"

The two women shook hands and greeted each other. Then Lu Ailin turned her head and looked at Li Shuo: "When did you sign the contract with Li Ziqin? You acted so quickly!"

"What a coincidence, I happened to run into him the last time I visited Director Li Shaohong... You should know that it was Director Li's production of The New Red Mansion."

"Oh, I see...Keep going, junior sister. I'm really optimistic about you in this drama competition!"

"Thank you, Senior."

Originally, Lu Ailin wanted to invite Li Ziqin to join the studio. Ailin Studio would undertake some cultural performances and would also need traditional cultural artists like her. But since the other party had already joined Shuoguo Culture, she naturally did not mention the matter again. She encouraged Li Ziqin and then took Li Shuo out of the hall and entered the venue from a side entrance. Wu Lu had been waiting here for a long time.

"Assistant Li, this way please..."

He walked forward quickly, bowed and made a gesture of invitation. Lu Ailin knew Wu Lu, so she was a little surprised: this is Leng Yi's de facto director, the next vice president, and the future Yang Kangcheng!

"Old Wu, thank you for your hard work. How many of our people have arrived?"

"The training center is right here. Quite a few people from Leng Yi's headquarters are here, but it's only today, so most people are just going through the motions. You know, this is a competition hosted by Leng Wen. Although they used our venue, it really has little to do with us..."

Li Shuo nodded, but before he could say anything, he ran into Nie Shuangying. Then, Nie Shuangying took over from Wu Lu and took Li Shuo straight to the front row.

All along, Lu Ailin had only heard that Li Shuo was doing very well and making a lot of money, but for a long time, her impression of Li Shuo remained on the day when the "Fruit Mobile Experience Hall" opened. In her opinion, Li Shuo was extremely talented, he made a lot of money, and the Shuoguo system had grown stronger...

However, Li Shuo is too young after all, and he is only a freshman. How much strength can he have in interpersonal relationships and actual impression?

however……

"Mr. Li" and "Director Li"

Most of the people sitting in the first row were judges, and a small number were leaders of Leng Wen and Leng Yi. They could be said to be at least professors at the Academy of Drama. Even Lu Ailin had to call them teachers when she saw them. But at this time, including Vice President Lu who was in the center, everyone stood up.

Nie Shuangying leaned sideways and introduced them one by one: "Director Li, this is..."

Following his introduction, Li Shuo reached out his hand and shook it tightly, shaking it twice, greeting each other, and then the next person...

Only what was happening before her eyes could make Lu Ailin understand Li Shuo's current status and position. Her pretty face was full of shock, and she did not follow Li Shuo forward, but stood still.

Faintly, Lu Ailin heard a clamor coming from the back row:

"Where did this person come from? Why is he so impressive?"

"The key is that he is too young! A certain young master? But even if he is the second generation of the XX family, he can't have such momentum, right?"

"You people from other schools don't know, this is Li Shuo from our Drama Academy... He is not only the dean's last disciple, but also extremely talented. The Shuoguo Culture he founded has become a signature brand in the cultural and artistic field of Lenghai in a short period of time..."

A student from the drama academy was talking incessantly about Li Shuo's experience, which caused an uproar among the people around him, and a large number of people looked as if they had suddenly understood something.

At this time, Lu Ailin finally came to her senses. She didn't want to get involved in this kind of social interaction, so she stood there and waited for Li Shuo to finish his work before going over. At the same time, she thought to herself: Even if he is a student of the drama academy, he only knows one side of the story. If Li Shuo only has these achievements, he still doesn't deserve the courtesy of these people. The key is...

She squinted her eyes, thinking of the titles "Mr. Li" and "Assistant Li" that Nie Shuangying mentioned when introducing Li Shuo, and gradually she had the answer in her mind: Li Shuo was too young, so even if he joined the Lengyi board of directors, the position he could hold was only the lowest-level "assistant to the board of directors."

Of course, the board of directors is the highest decision-making body of a company or organization. Since Li Shuo is one of them, he can naturally be called "Mr. Li", and be on par with the deans and CEOs.

But despite this, the treatment Li Shuo receives now is obviously comparable to that of Dean Liu, which is indeed a bit too much.

It was not until Li Shuo finished greeting the leaders in the first row and turned to look for her instead of sitting down that Lu Ailin immediately whispered, "Li Shuo, don't you think you are being a bit exaggerated today? Those students from other schools who are staring at you think you are the emperor of the drama academy!"

Li Shuo shook his head and said, "I am not worthy of being called the emperor. It's just that many of the professors in the first row are my acquaintances. They have also cooperated with Shuoguo, so when they saw me, their boss, they greeted me naturally..."

Lu Ailin understood vaguely. To put it bluntly, Leng Yi's board assistant was just a small leader, and the founder of Shuoguo system was just an off-campus partner. But when the two were added together, plus Dean Liu's face, Li Shuo had unknowingly woven a huge web in the system of the Academy of Drama!
