Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

Because he was with Lu Ailin, Li Shuo did not sit in the first row, but sat in a secluded corner of the third row as arranged by Nie Shuangying.

The Drama Grand Prix started soon. Li Shuo didn't watch the competition much, but just chatted with Lu Ailin, who was very concerned about the competition. Whenever there was a different topic, she would always explain it to Li Shuo. It was also through Lu Ailin's interpretation that Li Shuo knew that this Drama Grand Prix covered almost all aspects of stage art expression:

Drama, plays, singing, recitation, etc.

Moreover, almost all the students from other schools who were able to perform on the stage had already gone through a round of selection, so the quality of the performance on the stage was also ridiculously high! Especially Li Ziqin, she changed into a costume and performed "Peony Pavilion", which contained tenderness and moved people. After the performance, the audience burst into warm applause!

While applauding, Lu Ailin said to Li Shuo: "As expected of a Kunqu Opera successor, the Grand Prix champion this time must be Li Ziqin!"

Li Shuo smiled without comment and whispered "Not necessarily", but Lu Ailin didn't hear it.

……

Li Ziqin is not a proud person, but she is very confident in her performance. After her perfect performance on stage, she returned to the backstage and was soon celebrated warmly by her classmates from the "Opera School".

"Qinqin, you did a great job! Leng Yi is sure to be signed this time!"

"Don't even mention signing Leng Yi. It's possible for Qinqin to win the championship. She has the ability!"

Amid the shouting of his classmates, Li Ziqin instinctively said modestly: "There are many outstanding talents in our drama academy. I will keep a calm mind. If I win, I am lucky. If I lose, I am doomed. The process of participating in this kind of competition is already a very valuable experience..."

This statement was not popular among young people, but the classmates knew Li Ziqin and knew that she had a calm personality, but her backstage was full of mixed people. Someone next to her immediately said disdainfully:

"Only those who have absolutely no talent participate in the competition for the sake of participation! Those who participate in the Grand Prix are naturally aiming for the prize!"

Everyone knew the person who was speaking. She was Zhu Rongjun, one of the seeded players of this Grand Prix. Although she was from Jinling Art School, she had already been signed by Leng Yi before she arrived.

The biggest goal of ordinary art students is to be signed by Lengyi! The biggest difference between it and commercial agencies is that it will selflessly cultivate students, and the contract is standardized, and it will not force artists to stay. It is the best springboard for art students to enter the industry, no doubt!

Facing Leng Yi, Li Ziqin refuted calmly: "Of course I came here to win the award, but with so many of us, who can guarantee that they can win the award? Zhu Rongjun, you are already signed, but you are talking without any pain!"

This girl was very clever. With just one sentence, she divided the two camps into "Leng Yi signed a contract" and "non-signed". Hence, for a while, almost all the classmates around looked at Zhu Rongjun with unfriendly eyes.

Zhu Rongjun knew that Li Ziqin was a descendant of Kunqu Opera, and also regarded her as her opponent in this Grand Prix. She spoke this time with the intention of attacking Li Ziqin.

With a sneer, he said, "Don't you feel bad when you say that? You are from a drama academy, but you don't know the unspoken rules of the Grand Prix as well as I do from Jinling Art School. Tsk tsk, it seems that I overestimated you..."

"Let me put it this way. We, the contracted artists, don't know whether we can win the award or not, but non-contracted people like you definitely can't win the award! One hundred percent! Because this is the rule of our Lengyi. Otherwise, what do you think Lengyi is holding the competition for?"

Zhu Rongjun has confused Leng Yi and Leng Wen here, but ordinary students naturally cannot understand the difference between the two. They only know that they are both cultural and art companies affiliated with the Academy of Drama.

"Zhu Rongjun, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"That's right, it's like there's something fishy going on in the Grand Prix..."

"What kind of messed up unspoken rules are these? I don't believe them!"

The camps divided by Li Ziqin's previous words immediately took effect. Countless classmates criticized Zhu Rongjun and wanted to kick her out immediately!

This woman destroyed everyone's hope as soon as she opened her mouth. Isn't she hateful?

Li Ziqin looked thoughtful, thinking that Zhu Rongjun's words would not be without purpose, so he decided to go back and ask Li Shuo.

Li Shuo is actually Li Ziqin's trump card. She has never told anyone that she is actually a contracted artist of Shuoguo Culture. Compared with Leng Yi, the commercially operated Shuoguo Culture, in addition to having strict requirements on artists, is even better in other aspects.

Zhu Rongjun ignored these voices, looked at Li Ziqin, and said with a half-smile: "If you don't believe me, let's verify it in the scoring later. I dare not say that I can get first place in the preliminary round, but my ranking is definitely higher than yours!"

As he said that, he glared at the students around Li Ziqin and shouted, "What are you making so much noise for? It's so noisy!"

Her voice was so loud that it suppressed the voices of others. Then she turned and left like a winner!

Li Ziqin calmed everyone down and took the opportunity to gain popularity among the student group. She then removed her makeup and changed her clothes. When she walked out of the backstage, it was already past 4 pm. The first day of the preliminary round of the Grand Prix had ended, and most of the guests and audiences under the stage had left, leaving only a few sparse classmates.

These are all contestants, or their friends, and everyone is waiting for the results.

Everyone waited until just after 5 o'clock, and a list was released on the big screen behind the stage.

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd at Jinling Art School. When Li Ziqin saw the name "Zhu Rongjun" at the top of the list, he felt an unconcealable sense of loss for a moment.

"What?" "Why did that guy get first place in the preliminary round?"

"I didn't even make it past the preliminary round. How unfair!"

"Qinqin, congratulations, you passed the preliminary round."

The classmates around Li Ziqin were wailing. One of her senior sisters didn't even make it through the preliminary round. Some of her friends who came with her were now forcing themselves to smile at her.

Yes, Li Ziqin only made it to the semi-finals, not even the top three! Judging from her performance on the spot, even if she is not Leng Yi's, she should at least be in the top three, right?

but none……

The cold reality is like an iron wall or a copper wall, enough to make ignorant young people bang their heads and bleed!

Li Ziqin took a deep breath, said a few words of comfort to the students around him, then walked out of the training center and called Li Shuo at the corner: "Mr. Li, I heard some bad rumors today... and then I saw that my results in the preliminary round barely ranked at the bottom..."

She told Li Shuo what happened here, and then complained to him: "Maybe I'm too proud. I can't accept this result for a while. What do you think?"

When he received the call, Li Shuo was having dinner with Lu Ailin. Listening to Li Ziqin's complaints, he raised his eyebrows!

Taking a deep breath, Li Shuo said, "I know what happened. There are indeed related rumors about the Drama Grand Prix, but believe me, it's not as outrageous as it is said. In the final analysis, we only promote people based on their talents! Moreover, Li Ziqin, you are different from ordinary students. You have me and the company behind you. You won't encounter similar situations again in the semi-finals. I promise!"

Emotionally speaking, Li Shuoneng could say more to Li Ziqin, and even tell her directly, don’t worry, I said, you are the champion!

But before the results are out, smart people won't make promises! Besides, Li Ziqin is not a hot topic, and the relationship with him is limited to that of a boss and an artist under his company.

Doing a favor without expecting anything in return only exists in movies and TV dramas. Even if Li Shuo tries his best to help, he should at least let the other party know that he is doing that for her. Maybe he won't make Li Ziqun marry him, but at least he should make her loyalty to Shuoguo Culture reach its maximum!

"Did something happen during the competition?" Seeing Li Shuo put down his phone, Lu Ailin asked with concern.

"It's not a big deal, don't worry about it"

Li Shuo said vaguely and saw Lu Ailin's big eyes narrowed slightly, which was a sign of her curiosity and wanting to get to the bottom of it.

So he explained the unspoken rules regarding the Grand Prix hosted by Lengwen.

After listening to this, Lu Ailin said dissatisfiedly: "I have heard before that those who are not signed by Lengyi cannot win awards in the Grand Prix. I didn't expect that it was Lengwen Company's idea. Most people can't join Lengyi if they can't win awards. This is simply an unsolvable problem of which came first, the chicken or the egg! When did the academy become like this!"

"Don't get angry first. It's not just the academy, it's like this in most places. If you were a judge, would you rather your nephew pass easily or compete fairly with others?"

"What you said makes sense, but I'm not a judge. I hope the students can have a fair competitive environment!"

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. I'll take care of this matter later..."

"Then tell me, what should we do?"

"Um, this..."

Li Shuo was just coaxing Lu Ailin, and of course he didn't know how to start for a moment!

Seeing this, Lu Ailin said with some disappointment: "I thought you were different from others, but now it seems... Forget it, I won't say anything more."

This woman was actually angry because of Li Ziqian's matter!

Li Shuo was a little confused and wondered, "Li Ziqin is my artist, I will definitely worry about her, but you, what's going on?"

"It's nothing. I'm just a sentimental person!" Lu Ailin pouted, then put down the knife and fork in her hand and stopped eating.

Li Shuo seldom sees girls lose their temper in front of him. This is mainly because the women he comes into contact with are all good at observing people's words and expressions, and they all go along with him and depend on him.

But Lu Ailin is different. Because of her face, her life has been smooth sailing. Even though her studio has not been doing well in recent years, it is because she is unwilling to take more advertising orders. In fact, Lenghai has a large number of bosses and rich second-generations who are willing to place orders with her unconditionally, and even give her money!

When two people who are loved by the world live together for a long time, it is natural for them to be stubborn with each other.

Li Shuo was a little unhappy, but his reason made him suppress his emotions, and he smiled and said, "It's just a small competition, it's not a big deal, I promise to handle it beautifully for you later!"

Lu Ailin also felt that she was getting carried away. Hearing this, she lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, Shuo Ge'er. Ying'er often says that I'm too literary and have always lived in my own artistic world. Maybe I'm really not suitable for having a boyfriend, because it's hard to meet a man who is as emotional as me, especially when it comes to art..."

Li Shuo stretched out his arms and forcefully hugged Lu Ailin into his arms. The latter was at a vulnerable moment and immediately fell down obediently.

"What are you talking about? What woman is not emotional? Just let me make the decisions for you on those rational matters. Whether it's the management of the studio or taking advantage of others in daily affairs, I will naturally give you full authority as your boyfriend! If you like this business, then you can fully display your talents in this business. You must always remember that I am Li Shuo and I can give you everything in the world!"

A scumbag can not only make women happy, but also give them a false sense of security. These two points often hit women directly in the sore spot!

What makes women even more crazy about Li Shuo is that he not only can talk, but also has the ability to do it!

"Hmm~"

Lu Ailin's eyes were full of intoxication. Before she could react, Li Shuo also lowered his head and came closer...

Apart from art, Lu Ailin's life is actually quite pure and simple. The two of them have been flirting for such a long time, and Li Shuo has been impatient for a long time. Now that he has seized the opportunity, he will naturally take the initiative...

Fortunately, Lu Ailin was not a conservative woman. Facing Li Shuo's attack, she not only did not resist, but also took the initiative to hook her lotus-like arms around his neck...

After the passionate kiss, Li Shuo struck while the iron was hot, hugged Lu Ailin, and said countless sweet words. Gradually, the two walked out of the restaurant, and the dark red Bentley happened to stop in front of them.

During the Grand Prix in the afternoon, Lu Ailin had seen Bentley and had been surprised once. Now, she was easily half-carried into the back seat by Li Shuo. Then, seeing that the situation was "not good", Li Qinghe took the initiative to get out of the car and give the two of them private space.

Five minutes later, despite Irene's resistance, Li Shuo finally stopped attacking the bottom lane: in this wave, he reached first and second base in one go, with only the last bottom line left. He was very satisfied with this progress.

As for Irene, she has foreign blood after all, and her appearance is more European and American. She nestled in his arms and promised softly: "After the Grand Prix is ​​over, I will give you everything, okay? But you need to guarantee that the result of the Grand Prix cannot be a simple Li Ziqin winning the award, but that everyone can have a better interpretation of culture and art in a fair and just environment! It would be best if the current situation of the Drama Grand Prix can be changed for a long time..."

"No problem! Just look at me!"

In front of the beauty, Li Shuo patted his chest and agreed very readily!

In the next two hours, Lu Ailin happily took him shopping and sightseeing. She didn't mind hugging and kissing him during the trip, which meant she had opened up more than 2% of her progress to him.

But after sending Lu Ailin home, Li Shuo began to scratch his head: It was easy to let Li Ziqin win the award, but it was too difficult to meet Lu Ailin's requirements! Especially fairness and justice, not to mention how many people's interests would be violated, even Li Shuo himself did not want fairness, how could he achieve this?

Just as I was thinking about this, Si Jiawen called me, which was rare. She started with an unusually soft and charming tone, and said seductively: "Shuo Ge'er, I miss you. Come and accompany me~"
