How to become an ACE of a top boy group

Chapter 186 Work, Work and Work (Part Four)

"Who?"

Luo Xi looked in the direction Lin Miao pointed. Sitting there was Xu Tan, whom Luo Xi had met at the charity gala, and Zhu Yanxiu, whom she had met at the Haicheng Film Festival. Zhu Yanxiu won the "Best Supporting Actress of the Year" award at the Haicheng Film Festival that night. With her portrayal of a mentally advanced working-class character in "Black Working Day," she has become one of the most popular and well-known new actresses.

"How can anyone not know Zheng Yushan and Liang Jinshu? Haven't you seen 'The Crossroads of Happiness'? Are you even Chinese?! That was the hottest drama last year! It was amazing!"

"Quick, let's go over there! Can you take a picture of us together?" Lin Miao said, shoving her phone into Luo Xi's hand and taking light, quick steps over.

The people gathered there automatically made way for Lin Miao as soon as they saw her, and Zhu Yanxiu also turned her head to look over: "Miaomiao! What a coincidence!"

Zhu Yanxiu took Lin Miao's hand affectionately and made her sit in the chair next to her: "Is your uncle feeling any better?"

"It's an old problem of his; he has to stay in the hospital for a period of time every year, but it's really nothing serious. Sister Mengxiu, I've wanted to meet you for a long time. Your portrayal of Liang Jinshu was superb! I've been looking for an opportunity to get to know you, but I never expected to meet you here!"

"I have to thank Teacher Xu for this. I was able to participate in this activity because of Teacher Xu." Zhu Yanxiu smiled at Xu Tan.

Xu Tan also smiled and said, "No, no. Actually, it was an invitation from the Guose brand. I was just passing on their generosity."

"Uncle Xu is still so humble. As a loyal viewer of 'The Crossroads of Happiness,' may I take a photo with both of you?"

“Of course,” Xu Tan nodded.

“Okay, definitely! You can sit in the middle.” Zhu Yanxiu offered to make room for Lin Miao to sit in the middle.

Lin Miao sat in the middle with a slightly embarrassed and awkward demeanor (but not really), gesturing to Luo Xi, who had been standing next to the three of them.

Luo Xi pointed his phone camera at the three of them.

Zhu Zhonghua wore a white, light gauze, teardrop-shaped, half-length skirt with peach blossom embroidery, showcasing her elegant and sophisticated appearance.

Xu Tan wore an elegant light blue loose shirt with gold bamboo embroidery, the youthful color slightly diminishing his composed demeanor.

Looking at that face up close, Luo Xi felt that he resembled Lee Yong-hyun more, except for those deep, affectionate eyes that could melt anyone's heart.

Damn it, a guy who looks like that, even the phone camera automatically focuses on him first.

When Luo Xi looked at Xu Tan, he had the illusion that Xu Tan was looking at him with tenderness, and he couldn't help but recall the embarrassment of the last charity gala, and his palms became slightly sweaty.

Luo Xi immediately stopped her wandering thoughts, focused on the present, and carefully found the right angle to take a good photo.

Finally, Lin Miao got her phone back and looked at the finished photos with Zhu Yanxiu.

"This is...our future top star?"

Xu Tan looked at Luo Xi with his amber eyes, smiling as he reached out his hand to her.

Luo Xi's pupils dilated violently as those unpleasant memories and the feeling of being drenched in sweat replayed in his mind like a flood.

What does this mean? Does it mean they already know it's her? Wasn't she supposed to be anonymous?

So, donating money isn't a very private matter?

“…Hello.” Luo Xi bowed slightly and shook Xu Tan’s hand, smiling but her spirits were already low.

"Teacher Xu, you two know each other?" Zhu Yanxiu and Lin Miao were both somewhat surprised.

Xu Tan introduced Luo Xi to everyone with a smile, without mentioning the charity gala, treating him as a younger brother she knew: "This is Luo Enxi, a rising idol currently being promoted by Mo Ri Entertainment, a very nice kid."

Zhu Yanxiu then took a proper look at Luo Xi, and Lin Miao happily took a photo of the two of them together with her phone. Fortunately, the show was about to start soon, the social time was over, and everyone sat back down.

Lin Miao nudged Luo Xi's shoulder and secretly gave her a thumbs up: "You're amazing. Xu Tan actually said you're a future top star. I didn't realize you were so talented."

Luo Xi gave a wry smile.

The show quieted down, and the sounds of traditional Chinese string and wind instruments, accompanied by the deep rhythm of drums, began to rise, making the empty venue even more solemn. The first person to walk out was a modified cheongsam with mottled blue and red colors...

After concluding my personal luxury photography trip, I returned to my company dormitory in Haicheng.

Luo Xi distributed all the local specialties she sold in Jingzhou to her roommates. Fiction (D) was out filming a music video to prepare for their April comeback, so they couldn't meet. Luo Xi left the things she bought for them in their dorm room.

Next, ILitterer will reunite to participate in a top-tier, long-running variety show, "Idol's Countryside Meals".

As the name suggests, this variety show invites idols to experience rural life in the mountains, such as planting vegetables and cooking. It features both a public 24-hour live broadcast and an interesting post-production edited version. Because of its authenticity, it has a large audience. Many popular groups have gained some popularity by showing their true selves on this show, and there are always many groups applying to participate.

This is a great variety show for new groups to expand their fan base and reach. Luo Xi thought it was a great opportunity that big companies had secured for them, but after going there, she realized that... nothing that can become popular is so easy to achieve.
