How to become an ACE of a top boy group
Chapter 177 New Year's Eve Dinner (2)
Luo Xi scrolled through the reviews for a long time, completely satisfied, until she had made sure she had done all the good reviews she could. Then, like a fully charged phone, she got out of bed full of energy.
As she pushed open the door, she smelled the aroma of scrambled eggs with tomatoes that she had been craving. Gu Minxing had already started making lunch. She was about to speak when she heard laughter and chatter coming from the living room.
"You're perfect for this line of work! Look at all the praise you're getting online, look at this photo! It suits you so well! You look so energetic and spirited!"
This is a gentle female voice with an exciting tone.
“Auntie, just look, there’s no need to say so much.” Lee Yong-hyun said slowly, “No matter how much you say, it won’t give me any more hope.”
"This child, you're saying discouraging things again!"
Luo Xi remembered that Gu Minxing had said his parents might come to pick him up in the morning, so he quickly walked out and saw a well-dressed and elegant stranger sitting on a sofa with Li Longxuan, while Gu Minxing was sitting on a single sofa on the other side.
Luo Xi greeted her warmly, "Auntie! Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year~" Before Gu Minxing could introduce her, Minxing's mother smiled and said, "Is this Eunhee? Another beautiful child. Come sit down here, Eunhee."
"Everyone finished up a bit late last night, so we slept until now. I'm so sorry that I got up so late today when you came over."
Minxing's mother laughed heartily: "What's there to be embarrassed about? You all work so hard! You don't need to chat with me. If you're sleepy, just go back to sleep."
Luo Xi smiled and said she had slept enough as she sat down next to Minxing's mother, facing this lady whose voice was as gentle as water.
Her facial features are soft but striking, with deep-set eyes and a high nose bridge. She also has fair skin, and you can tell that Gu Minxing's appearance, voice, and even her maternal instincts are inherited from this beautiful woman.
Luo Xi couldn't help but exclaim, "Auntie's skin is even better than mine! How does she take care of it? She must know a lot about skincare!"
Finally, someone understood her efforts in maintaining her youthful appearance, and Zhao Zhiyi was overjoyed, but she said aloud, "No way, I'm old, I can't compare to you guys."
"time to eat."
Gu Minxing's father, a tall and composed uncle, took off his apron as he spoke and brought the last plate of steamed sea bass to the table.
Gu Minxing finally seized a break in everyone's conversation to introduce her mother and father to Luo Xi.
Gu Ma is a professor at the China Conservatory of Music.
Before becoming the manager of Shengda International Hotel, Gu's father was a chef. He occasionally heard his son say that the food was not good (actually referring to weight management and diet control). He kept it in mind and insisted on buying groceries to cook a good meal for the members when he arrived. However, he found out that Song Chuchu and Lu Yun had already left.
"I originally bought a lot of groceries, but since there were two fewer people, I cooked two fewer dishes because I was worried we wouldn't be able to finish them, so the dishes might look a little less..."
Hearing the restraint in Gu's father's voice, Gu's mother said loudly, "If there's too much, just pack it up and bring it back; if there's too little, just make more. Worrying about this and that every day is so annoying."
On the one hand, he warmly greeted Luo Xi and the others, "Come on, everyone, come and eat."
"Now I finally know who Minxing learned his cooking skills from." Luo Xi said happily, "No wonder Minxing cooks so well. Uncle must be even better. I must try Uncle's cooking."
The meal was indeed delicious and visually appealing. Gu Ma kept putting food on Li Longxuan and Luo Xi's plates, saying, "Since Chu Chu and Yunyun aren't here, you two should eat more for them."
Luo Xi instantly felt like she was home. Noticing her change in mood, Gu Minxing gently patted her back.

Halfway through lunch, Luo Xi received news that Song Chuchu's filming was about to end. Hearing that the cat hadn't eaten yet, Gu's father immediately took action and made another meal for Song Chuchu.
Luo Xi had already eaten and was just chatting, so after receiving the warm lunchbox, she packed her suitcase, said goodbye to Gu Minxing's family and Li Longxuan, and took a car to the hotel location given by Song Chuchu.
Half an hour later, Song Chuchu arrived at the hotel room. She had just finished showering and was drying her hair with a hairdryer. When she saw Luo Xi, she complained a few times about why she was so slow, but still generously gave the cat a hug.
After watching Song Chuchu finish her meal, the two of them packed their luggage. Song Chuchu thought Luo Xi's clothes were too shabby, so the two of them went to a high-end store near the hotel to buy clothes.
Erythros, one of China's seven major luxury brands, adheres to the philosophy of "timeless classics and exquisite craftsmanship," using the finest fabrics, the most refined tailoring, and the most meticulous details to create enduring men's formal wear. Simply put, the price of a classic Erythros coat is several times that of the most expensive clothes Erythros has ever bought.
From ready-to-wear clothes to shoes to accessories, Song Chuchu seemed to have plenty of money. She kept trying on the latest styles that Luo Xi thought looked good and bought them all. She said that since Luo Xi had given her a gift before, this was like giving her a gift in advance.
"But... we don't have to buy the whole collection just because we like one style, do we? We only need a few different styles to wear, right? Besides, why would we bring all these clothes to your house?"
The main problem is that Luo Xi doesn't even dare to see how much the bill will be when it comes to the final amount.
"This way it's easy to change when it gets dirty, and different colors of the same style are easy to match. If you buy too many, just have them delivered to your dorm."
Song Chuchu probably didn't realize that he spoke with the complete air of a young master.
But after saying that, she reverted to her haughty cat-like demeanor: "This is an early birthday present for you. It might only be a part of it, so you should carefully choose what you like! Don't make me pick everything out, as if I'm forcing you to accept it!"
Considering that she didn't understand fashion, Luo Xi thought that listening to the cat was definitely the right thing to do.

Dressed very smartly, I went to Song Chuchu's house before dinner.
This is a luxury mansion located on a hillside on the outskirts of Haicheng city, offering panoramic views of the entire city and boasting a beautiful coastline.
Luo Xi said she thought the huge courtyard was beautiful, the private asphalt road leading to the sea was wide, and the white, modern Western-style house was huge. Song Chuchu insisted that the house was relatively small, and that they lived there because it was more convenient to live in the city. So, rich people are really annoying.
Upon entering, I saw Mr. and Mrs. Song, a large group of servants, Grandpa Song, and Grandma Song. The family atmosphere was very warm, and the elders were all very easygoing… even a little too easygoing.
Mr. and Mrs. Song were discussing the New Year's Eve dinner with the maid. Mrs. Song poured a glass of freshly squeezed apple juice for Luo Xi and Song Chuchu. Seeing that they both looked so sour, she laughed heartily.
Grandpa Song and Grandma Song were playing Pai Gow with their old friends who were visiting. They won and gave Luo Xi a big red envelope.
It didn't have the eerie, gloomy feeling that Luo Xi had imagined from those TV dramas about power struggles within wealthy families.
However, it's hard to imagine that a harsh family could raise a cat like Song Chuchu, who is clearly spoiled.
It wasn't until 7 p.m., when all the dinner dishes had been served, that Song Xinxin returned from outside.
She remained as aloof as ever, with sharp eyes and an aura of coldness emanating from her. After changing into her casual home clothes and coming to the dining table, she smiled at her family, but her imposing presence remained undiminished.
Luo Xi sighed and, as instructed, activated one of the three three-hour "charming aura" buffs he had previously redeemed.
This is the "little task" Bai Qiu gave her: [Win over Song Xinxin]
Do you think this is reasonable?
But Bai Qiu said, "Can Fang Jing really stop you from developing your relationship? Don't you have some tools? They don't require you to do anything immediately, but at least they can consciously increase her favorability towards you."
They also gave me 10,000 points as funds to buy props.
The lives of ordinary workers matter too. Why can't the top management resolve these business battles themselves?
Her job was simply to maintain her "heartthrob" aura for as long as possible; otherwise, Luo Xi wouldn't do anything else.
If you can't win her over, then you're not cut out for this.
Having figured this out, Luo Xi smiled naturally at Sister Xin Xin who had taken her seat, and began to enjoy the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner with everyone.
