Entertainment: Wanted to Acquire the Company on the First Day of Signing

49: It’s really popular.This river snail rice noodles place was an internet-famous shop with many people inside; a few young girls had also come because of its reputation and happened to be in line right in front of Lu Qingyu.

The young girls were chirping away on their phones, gossiping about the latest entertainment news.

”Have you heard? XY and YH are having an affair.”

”Huh? No way, aren’t they good friends?”

”How can you be so naive? What kind of ’good friends’ go home together in the middle of the night every day?”

”There’s no such thing as such a pure friendship in this world.”

”Doesn’t YH have a boyfriend?”

”Sigh, she cheated. What’s so strange about that?”

Lu Qingyu pricked up his ears and listened from behind, finding it quite interesting, when he suddenly heard gossip about his own boss.

”Did you guys watch ’Music Partner’? Chen Ting sang so well yesterday.”

”I watched it! I’ve had that song ’guest’ on repeat several times. Lu Qingyu is amazing for writing it.”

”Chen Ting sang well too, but have you heard? Apparently, Chen Ting is secretly married.”

Lu Qingyu: ”That can’t be right. Paparazzi are so skilled these days; if he were secretly married, wouldn’t they have caught him?”

The chirping young girls: ”You never know. Some people even say Chen Ting likes men.”

Lu Qingyu had suddenly interjected. At first, the girls didn’t notice, but when they snapped out of it and saw the person sitting on a small stool sipping milk tea, their eyes nearly popped out.

One of the chubby girls pointed at Lu Qingyu and started to stutter, ”You—you’re Lu Qingyu!”

The other three girls also looked over, and all four of them covered their mouths in unison.

To make it easier to drink his milk tea, Lu Qingyu’s mask was pulled down to his chin. Hearing them recognize him, he immediately denied it.

”I’m not. You’ve got the wrong person. I’m more handsome than Lu Qingyu.”

One of the girls pointed at the beauty mark at the corner of Lu Qingyu’s eye and said, ”You are Lu Qingyu. I saw your mole.”

Lu Qingyu touched the corner of his eye; he really hadn’t noticed it himself.

Seeing he couldn’t hide his identity anymore, Lu Qingyu said, ”Shh, I’ll treat you to river snail rice noodles. Keep your voices down.”

The four girls were now dying of excitement. What kind of luck did they have today to run into a celebrity while out, and have that celebrity offer to treat them to a meal?

The chubby girl cupped her flushed face, unable to contain herself. ”I’m not dreaming, am I? Pinch me.”

Her friend didn’t hold back at all and gave her a hard pinch. Hearing her friend’s wail of pain, she confirmed she wasn’t dreaming.

”Can I take a photo with you? I really like you.”

Lu Qingyu: ”Sure.”

Taking a photo wasn’t a big deal.

After taking the photos, they sat back down.

Lu Qingyu: ”Tell me what other gossip there is about my boss.”

Lu Qingyu was quite interested in this. He hadn’t been with the company long, and no one had told him anything. Hearing some gossip now felt quite amusing.

The girls were originally quite embarrassed to talk about a boss in front of his employee, but Lu Qingyu’s eyes were so bright—he seemed incredibly excited to hear gossip about his boss.

Seeing this, the girls started chirping like sparrows, talking non-stop. Though he didn’t know if it was true or false, Lu Qingyu dug up quite a lot of dirt.

Soon, it was their turn in line, and Lu Qingyu paid for the meal.

The five of them sat together. When eating, the masks obviously had to come off completely. This turned out poorly, as he was recognized by others.

A female customer at the opposite table looked up while eating and saw Lu Qingyu wearing a baseball cap.

”Ahhh! Lu Qingyu! You’re Lu Qingyu!”

Lu Qingyu was still slurping his river snail rice noodles when the person opposite confirmed it and immediately took out their phone to take pictures.

This immediately caused a commotion.

”A celebrity is here eating river snail rice noodles! Look!”

”Which celebrity? Oh, it’s Lu Qingyu! Let me take a couple of photos.”

”I like him so much. His song ’dispelling sorrow’ is so good.”

Lu Qingyu hadn’t expected that after only four or five bites of river snail rice noodles, the already crowded small shop would suddenly be packed tight.

And more and more people seemed to be coming. Everyone was holding up their phones, and Lu Qingyu felt too embarrassed to keep eating. With the crowd growing, he’d probably attract even more people if he didn’t leave soon.

”Enjoy your meal, I’m heading out first.”

The four girls were reluctant to see him go, and Lu Qingyu was reluctant too. He hadn’t even finished half of his river snail rice noodles, but he really couldn’t keep eating.

Even so, it took a lot of effort for Lu Qingyu to squeeze out of the crowd.

After getting out and returning to the company, he looked like he’d been through a disaster. His hat was crooked, his shirt had been tugged a few times, and his white sneakers were no longer white.

But he wasn’t full, so Lu Qingyu quietly ordered takeout and finished eating contentedly before going to work.

Su Jixing had gone out today to solicit advertisements for Lu Qingyu. He had finally secured a good resource and was on his way back to the company.

An Agent’s professional habit is to constantly check Weibo to follow entertainment trends and occasionally see if there’s any unexpected news about their own artists.

He originally thought Lu Qingyu would obediently finish his classes and either go home or work at the company without any issues. As it turned out, Lu Qingyu really did make it onto the Weibo hot search topics.

#Lu Qingyu Out on the Streets# #Chen Ting’s Secret#. Seeing these hashtags, Su Jixing instinctively felt that while the ”out on the streets” one was relatively conservative, ”Chen Ting’s Secret” was definitely not simple.

After opening the content, two videos popped up. Su Jixing was left completely speechless after watching them.

Lu Qingyu had been filmed in the river snail rice noodles shop. After he left, the four girls at his table were even interviewed.

Reporter: ”What do you think of Lu Qingyu?”

The young girls:

”Lu Qingyu is a really good person. He’s very approachable.”

”Yes, yes! He even treated us to river snail rice noodles. He doesn’t act like a celebrity at all.”

Reporter: ”So, what did you talk about?”

Young girl: ”We talked about whether his boss is gay and if he has any illegitimate children.”

Netizens: ”Pffft, Lu Qingyu, you’re in trouble now.”

”Gossiping about your boss? Nice one, Lu Qingyu.”

”LMAO. I really want to know how Lu Qingyu is going to face his boss, Chen Ting, when he gets back.”

Su Jixing: ---Does Chen Ting not like going online? When will this hot search topic go away?

Back at the company, Su Jixing went to find Lu Qingyu. Lu Qingyu was still using Chen Ting’s office, so Su Jixing went straight there.

”Qingyu, did you see that you’re on the hot search topics?”

Lu Qingyu looked up. ”I saw it.”

Su Jixing wanted to scold Lu Qingyu, but seeing his face, his anger instantly vanished. This kid had a face that made people’s hearts soften.

Helplessly, Su Jixing sighed. ”Give the boss a call later and apologize.”

Lu Qingyu: ??? ”Why?”
