Chapter 297 Poached

Seeing that only the counter staff had returned, someone couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Excuse me, miss, why is the flight delayed?"

"Well, the information I received is that it's due to force majeure. I'm not entirely sure of the specific reasons, I'm very sorry," the counter lady said, her eyes darting away.

This is a typical sign of a guilty conscience.

"You don't need to lie to us. We're all civilized people and won't make things difficult for you. Just tell us the reason honestly. Is the flight delay related to that kid from before?" the uncle asked.

“Yes, yes, we were just curious,” the bespectacled young man echoed.

"Alright..." The receptionist had no choice but to tell the group what had happened in the office.

"What did you say! That kid didn't even blink and said he wanted to invest 100 million?" The uncle was also a businessman with total assets of only 70 million. He was quite shocked to hear that Chen Wei had directly stated his intention to invest 100 million after meeting with the airport manager.

It's normal for the uncle to be so sensitive about money, as he's a businessman.

"Yes, the condition is that we must arrange a flight for him to Guangzhou immediately," the counter lady nodded affirmatively.

"Who exactly is that guy? How can he be so rich?" Thinking of the things he had said to Chen Wei before, the bespectacled young man felt ashamed and wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

What right do I have to say such things about others?

He's just a simple, ordinary rich kid with millions in assets; he's incomparable.

"Actually, I saw who he was just now." Before anyone could ask, the counter lady couldn't help but share.

"Who is it?" Everyone could tell what the counter lady was thinking, so the bespectacled young man asked.

The saleswoman looked around in a pretentious manner, then said, "That big singer I see a lot on TV and the news lately."

"You mean Chen Wei!" The middle-aged man and the bespectacled man spoke almost simultaneously.

Recently, the famous singers that are frequently seen on TV and in the news will instantly remind anyone of Chen Wei.

The clerk didn't answer directly, but nodded slightly.

"No wonder, it wouldn't be surprising if it were him."

"I didn't expect him to have such a powerful background." Thinking this, the bespectacled young man immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I didn't say anything too offensive beforehand, otherwise, if they held a grudge and used their influence, I could be bankrupt in no time.

The entertainment industry wields immense power!
At this time, Chen Wei was already on his way to Guangzhou.

He was the only passenger on the entire flight, along with a flight attendant and the pilot.

If those people hadn't made sarcastic remarks, Chen Wei might have considered letting them accompany him.

"Mr. Chen, would you like some coffee? Freshly ground." The flight attendant pushed a trolley up to Chen Wei and asked with a sweet smile.

Compared to the formulaic approach of the past, the emotional element is now much more pronounced.

"I'll have a drink, please," Chen Wei nodded in response.

"Okay." The flight attendant poured the piping hot coffee from the pot, still steaming.

"Does the company always use such good coffee beans to entertain guests?" Chen Wei had flown several times, and in terms of coffee quality, this flight was definitely number one.

"Yes." The flight attendant's smile became somewhat stiff.

Chen Wei saw through it but didn't say anything, sipping his coffee while marveling at the advantages of having a good-looking appearance.

Afterwards, the flight attendant approached Chen Wei several more times under various pretexts, stating that she was a loyal fan of his and managed to get a photo with him.

As for any further action? Chen Wei wasn't sure if the signals he received were the hints he understood...

As the plane landed, Chen Wei strode out of the airport and hailed a taxi on the roadside. "Driver, to the Grand Theatre." The Guangzhou Grand Theatre is no less luxurious than the Jiangcheng Grand Theatre.

Chen Wei bought a ticket and entered the venue directly.

"Sir, I'm sorry, the audience seats are over there. This is the contestants' rest area," the security guard said, reaching out to stop them.

Since he acted impartially and did not speak ill of others, Chen Wei had no reason to deliberately go against their wishes.

He took out his phone and dialed Shen Xue's number. "Hey, Xiao Xue, I've arrived. Can you come and pick me up? I don't have a work pass and can't enter the contestant area."

Before the call was even over, Shen Xue, dressed in a gorgeous outfit and looking as beautiful and charming as a fairy tale princess, walked out of the contestants' lounge.

Upon noticing Chen Wei, she quickly lifted her skirt and ran over, calling out, "Brother!"

"Slow down, don't fall." Chen Wei reached out and helped Shen Xue up.

"You should explain this to them."

Following Chen Wei's gaze, Shen Xue's eyes fell on the security guard. "Excuse me, my performance partner can't make it at the last minute. This is the person I invited..."

After some explanation, the security guard agreed and felt relieved.

This adorable little girl reminded him of his own daughter; how could he refuse?
"The person you're competing with, the company must have helped you find them, right? Why can't they perform? Are they sick?" Chen Wei asked in the contestants' lounge.

He had pondered the shady dealings involved quite a bit while on the plane.

"I'm not sick. To be precise, someone poached my boyfriend," Shen Xue said, clutching her skirt tightly.

"Poaching someone from the wall?" Chen Wei asked Shen Xue to explain in detail.

It turns out that among the contestants was a woman named Han Li, a local of Guangzhou and the daughter of a real estate tycoon. Perhaps because she was afraid of losing to Shen Xue, she offered generous terms to poach Du Cheng, the contestant Jin Mai had found for her, who was hailed as a violin prodigy.

"She dares to undermine me, this woman is quite audacious." It would be a lie to say I'm not angry.

However, the most important thing right now is the competition.

"So, how can I help?" Chen Wei continued to ask.

"All you need to do is perform a piano duet with me," Shen Xue replied.

"May I?"

"Huh?" Shen Xue didn't understand what Chen Wei was trying to say for a moment.

Their duet performance at Nanjing University was already quite impressive and attracted many fans.

"What I mean is, in a piano and violin duet, can a piano duet be performed?" Chen Wei explained the question more clearly.

"..."

Seeing Shen Xue pursing her lips and looking embarrassed, Chen Wei roughly knew that this girl hadn't understood the rules at all before calling him.

"I'll go ask."

As Chen Wei turned around and grasped the doorknob, Shen Xue grabbed the hem of his clothes from behind, saying, "No need, it won't work."

"I'm so sorry, brother, I didn't make that clear beforehand," Shen Xue said, bowing deeply.

I glanced at the time. "There's still half an hour. I should have enough time, right?"

She wasn't sure if she could find a suitable violinist within half an hour.

“No need.” Chen Wei grabbed Shen Xue’s wrist and laughed, “I didn’t say I can’t play the violin.”
