The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 705 Extra 4: The Self-Cultivation of a Top Star

The following excerpt is from Lu Zhixian's personal website. A quotation mark ("") indicates a voice message, and 【】 indicates a text post.
1. "Today I am two years old. I went to my dad's concert. Many uncles and aunts wore beautiful pink clothes to see me, and I was very happy. But when I heard someone call out to me, 'Tuantuan baby, Mommy loves you,' I was not happy. You can call me baby, but you can't be my mom. If you can, go be my mom's mom! Because I have a mom, but my mom doesn't."

2. "On the day of the kindergarten interview, Dad got up before dawn to get dressed, afraid he wouldn't perform well and I wouldn't get the job. Dad is always so self-deprecating and worrying, I'm really exasperated. As Lu Zhixian's dad, I can walk around the school with my head held high! You know that? Because I will strive to be the best among all the kids!"

3. "I had a nightmare in the middle of the night and woke up to go find my mom. I found that she, who usually goes to bed early, was still awake. She said she was waiting for her dad. I called him during the day, and he said he wouldn't be back for two days. She said no, she would definitely be back tonight. Because her dad found out she was sick. When I woke up this morning, sure enough, her dad was in the kitchen cooking porridge, wearing a pink bear apron. I hope Mom gets better from her cold soon."

4. "Oh my god! I can finally tell you this secret! I'm a big sister now!"

5. "Let me tell you a little secret. When Mom found out my little sister was coming, I was the first person she told. She said she was a little anxious, afraid I would be sad because with a younger brother or sister, her and Dad's attention would be divided a lot, and after they pass away, I would receive less wealth. She was afraid I would be unhappy. Oh, how could Mom think like that? Even though Mom and Dad will give up half their attention, I will have another younger brother or sister to love me! As for wealth, Mom and Dad can earn money, there's no reason why I can't. Don't underestimate me!"

6. [My daughter, Yuanyuan, is the most beautiful girl in the world. She'll be three years old soon, and I want to get her the prettiest dress and the most beautiful pearl crown! But I don't have any money. Can you tell me how an eight-year-old can earn money?]

7. [I prepared financial statements for my mother, and I felt I did a great job. She should pay me, but she said I didn't have a professional certificate and was a child laborer, so hiring me would be illegal, and refused my request. However, she gave me a necklace as a reward, so I didn't say anything.]

8. [I helped Grandma write the invitations, each costing five yuan, so I earned 1300 yuan, but I'm still far from enough.]

9. "I know many ways to make money quickly, such as opening memberships on personal websites, selling merchandise, 'extorting' elders by begging and pleading, or doing favors for money... but these are not what I want. I would rather earn money through my labor or talent, because besides being my parents' child, I am first and foremost myself."

10. [I wrote two songs, produced them using the equipment at home, had my grandfather's lawyer help me with the copyright, and then had my father's friend show them to websites. Finally, I came up with a stage name and sold the copyrights for a share of the profits. I didn't want to make money using my father's name; whether it's good or bad, it's up to the public's judgment. My father only found out when it came time to sign the papers. Although he was very cooperative, I felt he didn't fully approve of my music, which made me a little sad.]

11. "Both songs are very popular, and the platform gave me a lot of money. I exceeded my goal, so I decided to buy my baby Yuanyuan a matching bag. You really can't trust Dad's taste. His coldest songs are all his favorites. What else is there to say? Hehehe."

12. [Many people have left comments asking what music I composed. It's a violin piece that makes you feel like good things will happen after listening to it, and a piano piece with humming. I used it in a video, and it makes life seem more interesting. That's all I can say for now. When I plan to release an album, I might add lyrics and release it, then you'll know.]

13. [When discussing career plans, my younger sister said she wanted to be a lawyer. I was surprised because she was very quiet even when she was in my belly. My parents and I were afraid she might be in danger, so we took turns talking to her and coaxing her for a long time before she would move. As she grew up, she didn't like too much attention. When there were many people, I liked to stay in the middle of the crowd, but she preferred to stay in a corner and quietly observe. She likes reading, tea ceremony, flower arranging, and making clay figurines, silk flowers, and Hanfu (traditional Han clothing). It seems completely unrelated to the sharp-tongued lawyer, but she quickly proved to me that she really has a talent for it. She has a thorough understanding of laws and regulations. She doesn't talk much, but every word she says is to the point. In the end, she used her abilities to get back the money I earned from my first stage performance when I was three years old. Because the Civil Code stipulates that minors also have property rights, the performance income should belong to me, and my father only has the right to keep it. Wow, my sister is amazing! Although my father was a little sad in the end, feeling that we were having a court hearing at home over a little money. Hmm~~ the little money isn't so bad.] 】

14. "My mother is very strict about money. Although my sister and I have everything we need, we've never had much money. We get a lot of red envelopes during holidays, but my mother puts them into our investment account. We can decide whether to make the money increase or decrease, but we can't take it out to spend. So I've been trying to earn money since I was little, and my sister is my best helper. Even though the wages I got from my father last time ended up in my investment account instead of me, I was still very happy."

15. [I bought a rare, out-of-print camera online and got scammed. My sister helped me get my money back and even got the person arrested for fraud. Kudos to Yuanyuan! My sister is the best in the world!] 16. [At 12, I finally made my first album. But to my utter surprise, even before the praise came the rumors. To this, I just want to say, each generation has its own way of depicting parent-child relationships. Just because I haven't been in one doesn't mean I haven't seen others do. Don't believe or spread rumors. Please report any rumors you see! /heart]

17. [I want to celebrate my 18th birthday with you all. Will you come to my first concert?]

18. [My original songs simply can't support a concert right now, so I've decided to sing my dad's songs. Copyrights are just too expensive; singing his songs is free.]

19. [Dad provides harmonies, Mom plays accompaniment, and Yuanyuan and all our relatives and friends watch quietly in the corner. Today, I am the happiest child in the world. When I wake up tomorrow, I will hold myself to adult standards. My birthday wish is that everyone will not spoil me too much.]

20. “You say my voice sounds like a filial son, hahaha! You guys are so cute. My voice does sound a little like my dad’s when he was little, and I’m glad you say that! I’m proud because I sound like my dad! But please, don’t close your eyes and deceive yourselves, pretending this is my dad’s concert, okay? He’s only in his early forties, he could sing for you for another twenty years without any problem.”

21. [My darling Yuanyuan is going to live on campus for university?! She's so small, can she take care of herself? She definitely needs to get her driver's license, so please, please stop filming me like this! She even stepped on my shoe last time! And she hasn't even taken the test yet. Who buys these secretly filmed videos? Promise me you'll protect your wallet, okay? I'm so heartbroken!]

22. "Don't go after my sister. When she's angry, she's the scariest one in our family. Also, she's 18 this year and about to graduate, which means she'll soon become a practicing lawyer. Before doing anything irrational, make sure she memorizes the laws."

23. [From a very young age, I knew that everyone who came to see me in person loved me very, very much. The uncles and aunts who were always present and sat in the front row had spent a lot of money just to be seen by me. So, before each performance, I would prepare thoroughly, just like my dad, and try my best to be perfect.]

24. [An auntie didn't come today; her seat was empty. I had my assistant secretly inquire, and we found out she passed away from illness, just days before the concert. I'm still young; this is the first time I've experienced such a loss. From age 3 to 28, a full 25 years, she was always there within my sight, watching me with a look of contentment. I'm incredibly sad right now. Because most of you are much, much older than me, and for the next few decades, I will continue to experience such separations. From now on, my wish will be for you all to enjoy health and longevity.]

25. My grandmother passed away at the age of 89. Everyone said it was a happy occasion, but I could only accept it through tears.

26. [I don't like growing up. But people always have to learn to grow. The new album is called "The Past Is Gone," a way for us to say goodbye all at once. Dad was right, things will get better if you let go of them.]

27. [From worrying about me dating too early to urging me to date and get married, what kind of internal struggle did you go through? When I was little, I was worried about male classmates being cyberbullied, so I didn't even dare to remember what they looked like. These past few years, I've been busy with studies or work. My parents got married early, and their friends' children are all much younger than me. I can't bring myself to date such a young woman. Now the situation is a bit awkward. A relationship needs at least two people, right? Unless my Mr. Right appears out of nowhere, I can't satisfy you.]

28. [Okay, the matchmaking temple you visited really worked its magic. It all started with a car accident two months ago…] (End of Chapter)
