Chapter 1247 - 745: Attending the Banquet
"I bet tonight’s rehearsal will definitely be canceled soon," Luo Ye whispered as she walked out of Mr. Wang’s office.
"I believe it. Young Master Li won’t allow this to happen," Zhao Qianqian glanced around to make sure no one was listening, then leaned close to Luo Ye, "Luoluo, do you think the person he’s meeting is really the one we’re looking for?"
Luo Ye nodded confidently, "Zhang Chaoyong’s information should be accurate! He was originally going to be caught, but now we have this opportunity, there’s no reason not to use it.
"Although using others to achieve our goals isn’t something a gentleman would do, Young Master Li isn’t a gentleman either, so we shouldn’t feel guilty."
"Luoluo, I’m not that much of a saint..." Knowing Luo Ye was explaining to make her feel better, Zhao Qianqian looked helpless, "Do you really think I’m just a pushover who softens easily like a delicate flower?"
"Wow, you’re learning quickly," Luo Ye laughed with her eyes narrowed, remembering she had shared those expressions with her, and now she was using them so adeptly.
"Xiao Luo, Xiao Zhao..."
Luo Ye and Zhao Qianqian exchanged a glance filled with amusement and simultaneously turned their heads to see Mr. Wang running toward them, panting.
Mr. Wang stopped to catch his breath and said, "Tonight’s rehearsal is canceled. The leaders have instructed us that everyone should have a good rest so tomorrow they’ll be in great shape. No rehearsal today.
"Tell Liu Yumei and let her inform everyone again. Sigh, the leaders each have their own decisions, and us little people just have to keep running back and forth."
Luo Ye and Zhao Qianqian paused, sensing something odd in Mr. Wang’s words.
"Alright, take care, you two," Mr. Wang, uninterested in further explanation, waved his hand and turned back to his office.
...
"Qianqian!" Just as Luo Ye, Zhao Qianqian, and Lin Meili appeared at the entrance, Li Shaogang came up to them with a flattering smile, "I’ve been here for a while, but remembering your advice, I didn’t come in to find you."
Luo Ye gently patted Lin Meili and joked with a laugh, "See, all he sees is Qianqian."
"Luoluo, I’ve arranged for the person you wanted too..." Li Shaogang shifted his gaze to Lin Meili and smiled faintly, "Is she a friend of Qianqian and Luoluo? Great, more people make it lively. Let’s get in the car."
Luo Ye subtly shook her head, thinking Young Master Li was a typical looks-oriented person. Compared to the two of them, Lin Meili was less attractive, but his attitude was too obvious.
Zhao Qianqian looked at Li Shaogang half-smiling, "This is Sister Lin, a good friend we’ve recently made, her husband and parents are also at Hongshun. She didn’t plan to bum a meal off Young Master Li."
Lin Meili smiled gently, "Not bumming a meal, but I’ll probably bum a ride. Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Li."
Li Shaogang hurriedly opened the car door and gestured, "Please, three beauties, get in. I’ll personally serve you. Please forgive my earlier missteps."
Luo Ye blinked mischievously at Zhao Qianqian and got in the car first, saying, "Sister Lin, hurry and get in, Mr. Li is waiting for the two of us so he can shut the door."
"True, Qianqian should sit in the passenger seat," Lin Meili settled in and smiled at Li Shaogang, "Thank you, Mr. Li."
"Sister Lin, sorry about earlier, it’s not targeted at you—now that I’ve got a family, it’s odd to flirt with every pretty woman," he explained rather officially.
"Alright, let’s hurry and get in the car."
As a girlfriend, Zhao Qianqian executed her role with ease, making Li Shaogang beam with satisfaction, his smile almost reaching his ears even after he was seated in the car.
Starting the car and driving for a while, Li Shaogang finally returned to his senses, sneaking a glance at Zhao Qianqian and seeking approval, "Director Lin is a great guy but way too rigid, planning to keep everyone up late before a performance. Without proper rest, how can the quality be guaranteed?"
"Was it you who canceled the rehearsal?" Zhao Qianqian asked cooperatively.
"Yeah, I called my old man and reasoned with him, so he made new arrangements," Li Shaogang sighed deeply, "I used to dislike politics, felt restricted, but now I realize my thinking was wrong. To get things done, politics is indeed a good path. Qianqian, maybe I should ask dad to have us work together?"
