"Your dad just wants everyone to have a meal together. It’s enough just to invite a few shareholders from the company. The time is set for three days from now. Remember to come back early after class,"
"I have to attend too?"
Xu Qianyun was dumbfounded. He had training at Palm Pavilion.
Besides... he had been planning to go there more often recently to confirm his suspicions.
"Of course, you have to attend. How can the little host be absent when several uncles are coming over?"
Lin Yunlan glanced at him, assuming that he just didn’t want to chat with adults and after giving a few more reminders, busied herself again.
"I’ve ordered a suit for you. Remember to try it on later."
And it’s called a small banquet. Since when does a small banquet require him to wear a suit?
Xu Qianyun muttered to himself, casually tossed the apple core into the trash, and headed to his room upstairs.
After the laboratory of Palm Pavilion received a batch of new equipment, Tang Shu devoted all her spare time to it.
"It’s a good thing we harvested a lot of snow lotus that day."
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had enough for her experiments.
Tang Shu once again removed the four-sided microscope slides, carefully placed them aside, and then wrote down the components contained in the snow lotus.
After being busy for a while, the printer connected to the computer printed out a series of component analysis comparison charts.
In recent days, she had brushed up on all the chemistry and biology knowledge in the original owner’s brain for the research on snow lotus, deeply appreciating once again the conveniences that modern scientific development brought.
However, research by one person was ultimately slow. Tang Shu continued repeating the complicated experimental steps while secretly hoping Wen Nuan would bring her some good news.
While the atmosphere here was tranquil and warm, a storm was brewing on the internet.
Two days ago, the official announcement of Corridor Pavilion’s cast list began, with varied reactions from the people involved.
And the most intense reactions came from Mu Ziwei and the other twenty actors who had also participated in the audition. Since that day, they had all, without exception, been inquiring about news privately.
"Sister Jing, you have a wide network. What exactly is going on?"
In the rest room of Jiaxing Entertainment, Zheng Yuehong, who also auditioned for Corridor Pavilion, was asking the veteran Zhou Jing for information.
Zhou Jing fiddled with the cup in her hand and glanced at her, concealing the deep thought in her eyes and shook her head, "I don’t know either. Sister Yuehong, don’t you have any news?"
Although the two belonged to the same entertainment company, they were managed by different ace agents. They were equally prominent artists under the big banner of Jiaxing Entertainment. The only difference was that they entered the industry at different times.
Before today, they hadn’t spoken for a long time because they were competing for the same role, and they were merely nodding acquaintances in the company. But the relationship had already changed after the announcement of Corridor Pavilion’s cast.
After all, neither of them got the role of Lu Xiangtong. Instead, they became "Sisters in Distress," and the distance between them shortened considerably because of this.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yuee sighed, "I did ask someone to inquire. There was a familiar assistant in the crew, but he had little clue about this matter. He only told me that Tang Shu had visited the crew before, but nothing else."
With so little information, it was hard for the two to find any useful clues to solve the case.
Zhou Jing paused for a moment, thoughtful, "Tang Shu was at the judges’ table throughout the audition that day, which is quite unusual."
