Chapter 55: Make an Offer, Is 10 Million Enough?

The next morning, Secretary Shen appeared on time at the downstairs of the Lu family villa in her personal private clothes.

Unlike her usual professional attire, her private clothes are more cold and aloof, and ordinary people can hardly reach her.

She deliberately chose a black dark night rose halter dress to outline her perfect curves.

Lu Yan still wore a black silk shirt and black suit, but unlike his work state, he changed into a casual high-end suit.

Walking out of the villa, Shen Jing stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with him. From a distance, they looked like a couple.

Unfortunately, Lu Yan didn't even look at her, and walked straight past her to get in the car.

Jin Biao sent Jiang Li off yesterday, and was directly called back by Lu Yan today.

After closing the car door for Lu Yan, he turned around and saw Shen Jing standing behind him motionlessly, and was startled, "Why doesn't Secretary Shen get in the car?"

He was so stupid that he closed the car door, so how could she get in?

Jin Biao stared at her for a few seconds, then realized, "I understand."

After saying that, he turned around and opened the passenger door, and extended his hand to make a gesture, "Secretary Shen, please get in the car."

"..."

Shen Jing originally wanted to sit in the back seat side by side with Lu Yan.

But she ran into Jin Biao, the nosy guy.

After waiting for a long time, Lu Yan, who sat in the back seat, did not speak, and could only sit in the passenger seat reluctantly.

"What is Gu Lao's attitude?"

"Huh?"

Shen Jing was slow to react, and opened her mouth after she recovered. She recalled awkwardly that she was only busy picking clothes and trying makeup to accompany Lu Yan today last night, and she was busy until the early morning to determine her favorite private clothes and makeup.

"Sorry, I thought it was just a private meeting, and I didn't do my homework in advance..."

"Secretary Shen has not been in good shape at work recently, so you can consider taking a year-end leave from the HR department."

"No, I will contact Gu Lao's assistant to inquire about it now."

Secretary Shen has been with Lu Yan for seven years and has never taken a year-end leave.

Competition in Shengshi Group is fierce. She has become Lu Yan's right-hand man with her own ability, and will not leave any gaps for those who are interested to take advantage of it.

On the way, I asked Gu Lao about the closing song of Bai Mengchu's concert and her overall performance level.

After listening to it, Lu Yan frowned even more deeply.

"Gu Lao only accepted one student before, and never announced it to the public. This time I heard that Gu Lao admired Miss Bai's performance very much, and invited her to participate in the opening ensemble of the first stop of his international tour in China. He also revealed several times that after the ensemble, he would announce the news of accepting students on the spot at the concert..."

It has to be said that this is a rare opportunity.

Gu Lao's international tour concert has just determined the time and place of the first stop in China, which has caused a strong response in domestic media and the Internet, and has attracted a lot of attention.

If Bai Mengchu can seize this ensemble opportunity, get Gu Lao's recognition, and be accepted as a student by Gu Lao on the spot at the concert, it will undoubtedly be a qualitative leap in her piano performance career.

"She can't attend the first stop of the ensemble. Gu Lao will invite her again when we meet later. You should think of a suitable excuse for her to decline."

"Is it because her arm was injured by Jiang Mu? I saw the live broadcast video of the concert a few days ago, and it didn't affect her playing."

"Just tell Gu Lao that Bai Mengchu has an old injury on her arm. The old injury recurred after the concert and she needs to recover for a while."

On the day Bai Mengchu's hand was injured, Secretary Shen also went to the hospital with him.

Afterwards, he went out to block the news and send away the paparazzi. He didn't know that Lu Yan proposed to let Jiang Li take over and redeem Jiang Mu from the police station.

Even Bai Mengchu didn't tell Secretary Shen about this.

For the sake of his future acting career, the fewer people who know, the better.

But Secretary Shen had a channel to get the news.

Thinking that she worked hard for Lu Yan and was good to Bai Mengchu, they actually had a secret to hide from her and treated her as an outsider.

Until now, Lu Yan has never mentioned this matter.

Shen Jing was reluctant to have anything to do with Lu Yan, but she had a complete estrangement from Bai Mengchu, her ally.

When we arrived at Gu Lao's place, we had explained that it was a private meeting, so Gu Lao gave Lu Yan the address of a personal residence in the countryside of Shenzhen.

The car drove to the destination according to the navigation address. There were endless lotus leaves reaching the sky. The lotus flowers in late autumn had a kind of withered beauty, and the lotus roots were independent and slender.

A long bridge separated the lotus leaves. The car passed through and saw the courtyard of the ancient log building with a plaque of ancient house hanging at the door.

The assistant greeted Lu Yan and the others at the door. Gu Lao sat at the tea table in the corridor of the courtyard and brewed a pot of Biluochun tea for them.

When he saw Lu Yan coming in, Gu Lao didn't show much expression. He kept looking behind him. When he saw Secretary Shen coming in, the assistant closed the courtyard door, and his energetic eyes suddenly lost much of their brilliance.

The person he wanted to see didn't follow him. Gu Lao was not interested and treated Lu Yan with an attitude of indifference.

As the saying goes, people look up to the best artists. Lu Yan has a lot of power in the Shenzhen business world. He is the head of the richest family. In the eyes of such a respected old artist like Gu Lao, he is just a vulgar man with a lot of money.

Especially when he heard that his friend's old injury would flare up at the concert and he could not accept his invitation to be the guest of the first concert, the old man completely exploded.

"You are a bunch of profit-seeking bosses. You will only squander the natural resources to make money!

She should do what she can with her old injury on her arm. Why force her to hold endless concerts?

An artist's hand is a second life. It is a life, don't you understand?"

Seeing that the old man was about to jump high in anger, Lu Yan sat there and tasted the tea in the bowl, neither salty nor bland, without any intention of explaining.

Secretary Shen quickly made another bowl of tea for Gu Gu and acted as peacemaker.

"Guo Gu, please calm down. We know that you sincerely appreciate Miss Mengchu's piano skills. In that concert not long ago, Miss Mengchu was also a close friend. It was not because of her hard work that she finally moved you. For her, It’s all worth it.”

"That said, I also have a responsibility. You contacted me before to accept students, and I have also seen the video tapes you sent me. To be honest, if the performance I listened to was still at the level of the video tapes, let alone being my student, you want me to watch it Not even qualified to give a concert.”

The old man speaks without mercy.

Secretary Shen secretly despised Bai Mengchu for not having the qualifications to rely on Lu Yan to support him and hold several concert tours in China.

If it weren't for Lu Yan's delay in signing the divorce from that blind man Jiang Li, Bai Mengchu's retention would still be of some use. Secretary Shen wouldn't mind exposing the truth about her replacement in public, as well as the various unflattering methods she had done in the past.

It is guaranteed that her reputation will be ruined and she will become a street rat. When the time comes, she will become a legal expert. I am afraid that she will not be able to stay in the country.

No matter how fierce Gu said his words were, they could not affect Lu Yan at all.

After drinking the tea in the bowl leisurely, Lu Yan slowly put down the tea bowl in his hand, twitched his thin lips and said, "Let's set a price. How much does it cost to charge a student's tuition? Is ten million enough?"
