Chapter 35: Dong Yu

Lu Chen insisted on going on stage alone.

Qin Hanyang and Na Jie looked at each other and tacitly did not persuade him any more.

Because they were both young and passionate, and had fought hard against oppression and injustice. No matter whether the final result was success or failure, they had tried their best!

So they understood Lu Chen's persistence and were unwilling to teach Lu Chen a lesson as a senior, even if it was out of good intentions.

Youth does not fail. Only after experiencing setbacks and failures can a person truly mature and grow up!

Na Jie encouraged: "Come on, we all support you!"

Qin Hanyang also nodded.

It's just that the other four members of the Wandering Band all looked a little strange, and looked at Lu Chen with strange eyes.

In their opinion, Lu Chen simply didn't know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was. He took Qin Ge and Na Jie's kindness for granted. If he went on stage like this, he would definitely suffer a loss. He was afraid that he would be booed and couldn't get off the stage.

The atmosphere of the Blue Lotus Music Carnival Night is definitely not comparable to that in a bar. Two or three thousand people gathered together and shouted and screamed, and the sound waves could overturn the roof. If you don't have a strong psychological quality, it is too easy to make a fool of yourself because of stage fright.

If Qin Hanyang hadn't said anything, they all wanted Lu Chen to wake up - who do you think you are?

Lu Chen suddenly smiled and said, "Sister Na, I have prepared a new song today."

Among all the people present, Sister Na is undoubtedly the one who cares about him the most, so Lu Chen doesn't want to hide it anymore, and simply throws out the burden directly: "I believe it won't embarrass our Forget-Me-Not!"

Sister Na's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really? Since you are sure, there is no problem, I believe in your ability!"

How could Lu Chen have any problems if he could write such a good song for her with preparation?

To some extent, Sister Na is now a fan of Lu Chen.

Qin Hanyang's thoughts were more complicated. He had little impression of Lu Chen at first. Even though the latter had worked at Forget-Me-Not for more than half a year, they had not spoken to each other for many words.

It was not until he helped Sister Na to compose music that he realized that there was such a talented young man beside him.

However, Qin Hanyang believed that Lu Chen's two folk songs were not as good as the songs he wrote for Sister Na.

Now that he heard Lu Chen say that he had written another new song, he was really moved.

Qin Hanyang had been involved in music creation and deeply understood the difficulty of originality and how difficult it was to come up with a good song.

With just these three songs, Lu Chen was fully qualified to be a second-rate or even first-rate songwriter, and his desire to create was so strong. If he could have a constant stream of fresh inspiration, it would not be a dream to achieve success in the future.

Let's hope so!

Outside the French window, it was dark.

All the lights arranged on the performance venue were lit up, and the bright light shone in the crowded crowd. The atmosphere was warm and noisy, making people feel as if they were in the midsummer.

There was still more than half an hour before the Light Blue Music Carnival Night officially started, and the audience had basically arrived. Young men and women sat on small plastic stools and chatted, and some held fluorescent signs and fluorescent sticks.

On the stage, the super-large LED screen flashed blurred and colorful images. The heavy equipment such as drums, electronic keyboards and synthesizers had been placed, waiting for the band to come up and use them.

According to the performance convention, those instruments that were not convenient to move were provided by Blue Lotus, so some drummers and keyboardists of the band came over in advance to try their hands, and their actions caused a lot of noise from the audience from time to time.

On the balcony outside the top floor of the Blue Lotus Bar, the atmosphere in the VIP area was undoubtedly much more relaxed.

Well-dressed gentlemen and well-dressed ladies gathered in groups of three or four, holding champagne or red wine, socializing and socializing. Uniformed waiters held plates with snacks and drinks and walked through the crowd without looking sideways. Everything seemed in order.

The most eye-catching one was a slender and graceful woman wearing a Prada summer dress. She was surrounded by many people like a star-studded moon, and became the focus of the whole scene.

The Prada woman had a delicate and beautiful appearance. She tied her black hair into a bun and covered her charming phoenix eyes with a pair of titanium black-framed glasses. Her jade face was lightly powdered, and her temperament was particularly outstanding.

"Mr. Dong, Mr. Dong, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Although she was surrounded by many people, flattered and approached by people regardless of whether they were familiar with her, and was called "Mr. Dong", the woman always kept a polite smile on her face and responded politely to other people's greetings and approach.

It was just the helplessness that flashed in her eyes behind the lens that reflected her true emotions.

Dong Yu, 27 years old, general manager of Qingyu Media Company, had just returned from overseas at the beginning of the year.

Even with an extraordinary family background, she couldn't turn a cold face to the men in front of her who were coveting, drooling or admiring her. After all, in this industry, personal connections are extremely important for seeking development.

Fortunately, Su Qingmei appeared and rescued Dong Yu in time!

The two sister partners hid in the corner to chat privately, and the men who didn't find an opportunity could only retreat in disappointment.

"I shouldn't have come at night."

Dong Yu opened her purse and took out a cigarette case and lighter very skillfully. Then she lit a mint cigarette and took a puff. She complained to Su Qingmei: "You left me here and you disappeared!"

She developed the habit of smoking when she was studying abroad. She didn't really like it, but lighting a cigarette when she was bored could more or less relieve her emotions.

Su Qingmei smiled and said, "Aren't I here to save you now? It's a good thing to make more friends. You can't always lock yourself in the office. That will make you unmarried and become a saint!"

"Su Qingmei!"

Dong Yu put out the cigarette in the ashtray, stared at her with her phoenix eyes and said angrily, "Are you itching for trouble recently?"

"I dare not."

Su Qingmei begged for mercy: "Sister Yu, I know I was wrong. I just ran to select talents for the company."

Her pretending to be scared was pitiful, which made Dong Yu angry and amused. But in his heart, he was thinking, such a charming beauty, who knows who will get the chance in the end!

Dong Yu asked, "Did you find anything?"

Su Qingmei pouted and said, "Nothing is good. Let's wait and see."

Dong Yu's heart moved and asked, "Didn't you discover a promising newcomer from Brother Jianhao last time? Why is there no news now?"

Su Qingmei was stunned and asked in surprise, "How did you know, Sister Yu?"

She had been rejected by Lu Chen, so she didn't have the nerve to tell Dong Yu. She didn't expect Dong Yu to know it. She felt itchy and wanted to eat someone!

Dong Yu chuckled and said, "I heard you talking in your dream. Isn't that person suitable?"

Qingyu Media Company was jointly opened by her and Su Qingmei. At the beginning of its opening, it did not take the path of poaching and snatching people, but focused on cultivating and discovering promising newcomers.

For example, the Compass under Blue Lotus, a new band with great potential, was successfully signed by the company.

Dong Yu accidentally heard about Su Qingmei's failure at the hands of a newcomer, and she was curious.

Who was that person that could make this young lady fail twice?

So she teased Su Qingmei by digging into her pain points, trying to find out the truth.

Su Qingmei gritted her teeth and said, "I don't talk in my sleep, but Sister Yu, you will meet that guy soon, and I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

She had a sly smile on her face, like a fox that had just stolen a hen.

"Oh?"

Dong Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Will he also perform tonight?"

"Yes!"

Su Qingmei nodded vigorously. She took Dong Yu's hand and said, "Let's not talk about this. The performance is about to start. Let's go to Brother Chang's place. He is the protagonist tonight!"

It was already 6:50 in the evening. The Qinglan Night Music Carnival, co-organized by Qingyu Media and Blue Lotus Bar, was about to kick off. The first band to perform had just stepped onto the stage.
