Chapter 289: Chapter 288: Is it Really That Hard to Collaborate with Ya Qing and Cang Xue?
Lu Xi was preoccupied with his own excitement and didn’t notice the slightly distracted Sheng Zijin. He only put away his phone after reading through the Bai Family’s apology statement in its entirety.
“With such a fuss, the Bai Family’s chances of collaborating with Ya Qing and Cang Xue are likely gone,” Lu Xi exhaled turbidly, “Mianmian won’t have to be chased and cursed by Ya Qing’s fans anymore.”
Ya Qing’s works were popular on campus, and Cang Xue was his preferred voice actor; this golden duo was known by nearly every student.
Especially in the university’s dubbing club, many tried to imitate Cang Xue’s reading of Ya Qing’s works. However, they could only mimic the voice, not the soul.
Sheng Zijin glanced at Lu Xi with indifference.
“Business collaborations aren’t that simple; if the Bai Family offers good enough terms, nothing is impossible. Besides…” Sheng Zijin smiled slightly, her every move exuding arrogance, “is it really that difficult to collaborate with Ya Qing and Cang Xue?”
Lu Xi’s mouth fell open, then closed. For the Sheng Family, it was indeed not difficult. With her grandfather Sheng Qinglin’s status as the president of Beijing University, people in the literary circle would certainly show respect.
Pei Jinlan’s flattery grew, “Old Mr. Sheng is the president of Beijing University, who wouldn’t admire him? Lu Xi’s other cousin is in her senior year of high school and has mentioned many times that she wants to go to Beijing University!”
“Right, Mianmian can also aim for Beijing University in the future,” Lu Xi added.
“Beijing University has limited enrolment each year,” Sheng Zijin commented. Did they think Beijing University was some kind of shelter that you could just waltz into?
Lu Xi waved a hand dismissively, “I don’t know about others, but if it’s Mianmian, there shouldn’t be a problem. I heard her grades are really good now, with many calling her a top student. Zijin, when there’s a chance, I’ll arrange a meal for you two to meet each other!”
He was considering that if Lu Mian really went to Beijing University, it would be important to start introducing her to some connections now.
Pei Jinlan furrowed her brows, “Lu Xi, watch how you speak. Does Miss Sheng need to meet Lu Mian? Their statuses are worlds apart!”
Just because she’s doing well in her freshman year doesn’t guarantee she’ll do the same in her senior year. Why mention such pointless things!
“Moreover, with all of Lu Mian’s bad habits, what if she leads Miss Sheng astray?” Lu Xingtang added.
Sheng Zijin had no intention of picking up this thread of conversation; it was enough that they were aware of it in their own minds. She had come to Wucheng to meet with elders like the Ye Family and the Su Family, not to make acquaintance with just anyone.
Besides, her brother’s interschool exchange event was about to start, and she would be busy.
It just so happened that her phone rang at this moment.
Sheng Zijin took the call as an excuse to step away, and after listening for a few moments, the usually graceful and delicate expression on the girl’s face became serious.
“Lei Shuqi has gone to the hospital?”
“Alright, I know. I’ll hurry over,” she said, hurriedly ending the call with a grave tone.
Lu Xi, hearing that it involved his classmate, asked anxiously, “Zijin, what’s happened?”
“Oh, Lei Shuqi is in the emergency room getting a wound dressed,” Sheng Zijin said coldly, deliberately adding, “He was beaten by someone.”
“Who did it? Do you know them?”
Her gaze was distant, “Don’t ask me; go ask your dear sister.”
After speaking, she grabbed her bag and the camphor wood long box and left without looking back.
Lu Xingtang and his wife were too shocked to intervene.
Pei Jinlan jabbed her son forcefully, frustrated with his apparent naivety, “You, always just focused on studying! Learn to speak properly in the future, and mention that Lu Mian less! Now get going and take Miss Sheng to the hospital!”
Sheng Zijin was quick to exit the Lu Family’s door, but she didn’t expect a young girl to suddenly rush out, startling her.
