Chapter 84: An Unexpected Surprise!
Chapter 84: An Unexpected Surprise!
Lu Yu's interview ended quickly, and she didn't make things particularly difficult for Li Mo.
The questions raised were all within Li Mo's expectations.
After the interview, the two shook hands amicably and chatted for a few minutes.
Lu Yu was no longer the same person she had been during the initial interview.
After finishing work, Lao Wang took Li Mo out to eat.
On the bus, Li Mo was idly scrolling through his phone when he suddenly received a text message.
[Brother Mo, I heard you're back in Shanghai? Are you going home tonight?]
The caption also included an expectant emoji.
Although Li Mo has been extremely busy lately, he received a text message from Xiao Chaoyue, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
Li Mo decided to put aside his work and go see her.
After all, it's been a long time since we last met.
Li Mo had rented two apartments for Yang Chaoyue and Bai Lu, although Li Mo never intended to live in them.
But Yang Chaoyue was unaware of this. After not seeing each other for so long, Li Mo couldn't help but imagine Yang Chaoyue making that expression in his mind, and then he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Li Mo really missed her!
This little girl was quite good at livening up the atmosphere when she was around him; he was never bored when she was around.
Early autumn evening, Wostar Pictures.
"Alright, that concludes today's lesson. get out of class dismissed!"
Goodbye, teacher!
Yang Chaoyue said goodbye to her teacher after finishing her dance class. Her face was flushed and there were beads of sweat on the tip of her nose, indicating that she had worked up a lot of sweat.
Yang Chaoyue has worked hard towards that goal during this period.
The teachers also witnessed this scene.
Putting aside everything else, Yang Chaoyue's looks speak for themselves. Although she is still young, she exudes the air of a beauty.
In this industry, looks are still king!
With the hard training I've had recently, dancing won't be a problem.
Yang Chaoyue packed her luggage and returned to her room. While changing her clothes, she took out her phone to check for messages.
It turned out that Li Mo still hadn't replied.
Yang Chaoyue sighed to herself, still so heartless!
He's been sitting here for almost two months, never showing his face once. Apart from regular money transfers, the two of them have had almost no communication.
On the few occasions that Yang Chaoyue took the initiative to chat with him online, Li Mo was always interrupted by other things.
He writes songs whenever asked, and he always writes them in the middle of the night. After a while, he says he's tired and goes to sleep.
This left her speechless and unsure of what to do!
They're just too busy with work to chat with me.
I can't say anything myself!
If she hadn't watched the show and seen that Li Mo had indeed presented his work, Yang Chaoyue might have really misunderstood.
Yang Chaoyue pouted, recalling the carefree days she spent with Li Mo.
I'm quite happy to have people around me, including Li Mo and Reba...
Thinking of this, Yang Chaoyue picked up her phone again.
She didn't dare to bother Li Mo before, but now that the competition is over, she can finally meet him!
Overjoyed, I sent another message.
Li Mo still didn't reply!
"What the heck~"
Yang Chaoyue changed her clothes, pouting, looking somewhat aggrieved for some reason.
Although it had only been two months since we last met, Yang Chaoyue had changed quite a bit and had become much prettier.
Her face was already small, with a good foundation and very delicate features.
Moreover, she has recently learned makeup and dressing up. She doesn't need to be too good at it; just covering up some minor flaws is enough.
In addition, the training in dance and etiquette corrected my posture, improved my flexibility, and enhanced my overall demeanor.
I'm starting to feel like a minor celebrity now.
But no matter how much the changes occur, it's useless; Li Mo can't see them anyway.
With a mix of resentment, anger, and grievance, Yang Chaoyue changed his clothes and walked out of the locker room alone, heading towards home.
She was the only trainee in the company, so she did all the learning projects on her own.
It's equivalent to one-on-one training.
However, I won't be alone, because there are very few projects like this at the company.
Her daily lessons consist of much more than just these.
Many courses, such as performance and stage arts, are also taught at external institutions.
So she also made some friends during this process.
For example, there is a girl surnamed Wang named Wang Churan, and the two of them have been getting along quite well recently.
The girl comes from a fairly well-off family, and her parents are very supportive because they know about their daughter's dreams.
Therefore, his family had planned his path from the affiliated opera school of the Shanghai Theatre Academy to the Shanghai Theatre Academy very early on.
The whole process was natural, reasonable and compliant. Whether she can get into the Shanghai Theatre Academy in the future depends on the girl herself, but this whole plan is just one example.
This alone is enough to give it a certain first-mover advantage.
Compared to others, they are much better off, at least they have family support behind them.
Funding is not a problem at all!
Yang Chaoyue and Wang Churan are actually from completely different worlds and would never have crossed paths.
After all, they are about the same age, but Wang Churan already has a clear direction for her future, while Yang Chaoyue should still be working in a factory making clothes.
Yang Chaoyue was naturally well aware of this.
During her subsequent interactions with Wang Churan, she did not mention anything about Li Mo, because she didn't know how to bring it up.
You rely on your parents, while I rely on other men?
Originally, Yang Chaoyue was Li Mo's assistant, and it was only natural that he would work, get paid, and eat.
But now she's gone from being an assistant to a trainee at the company. But judging from the current situation, it's obvious that the company is giving her a separate job as a trainee!
There's nobody else here!
So even if Yang Chaoyue is stupid, she can figure out the little trick involved.
Judging from this, Li Mo must care about me quite a bit!
But why hasn't he shown up yet?
A young girl's thoughts are sensitive and complex, impossible to fathom, and can only be guided.
Anyway, this isn't the first time she's thought about it. When Li Mo replies to her, she'll definitely vent her anger!
Yang Chaoyue can now stroll around the streets at will without any restraint. Today's evening has less of the hurried feeling that comes with being a working adult compared to the past.
The young men and women, who had finally found some free time, snuggled together and talked about each other. Yang Chaoyue, unusually, didn't want to go home.
I'm alone when I get home.
I walked into a beverage shop alone, ordered a drink casually, and sat by the window watching the pedestrians outside.
She kept biting the straw of the milk tea, and gradually the milk tea in the cup became less and less.
When Li Mo found her through other people in the company, he only saw a melancholy girl enjoying her solitude alone.
Li Mo parked his car, and the spot where he parked was perfectly positioned so he could see her.
After two months apart, the girl who was once full of energy and had a great appetite has now become as melancholy as Lin Daiyu.
His gaze as he looked out the window was filled with a sense of melancholy.
Or you could say it's more like a pitiful little dog abandoned and hiding in a dark corner.
Seeing this scene, Li Mo didn't go inside. Instead, he sat in the car, took out his phone, and took a picture to remember the moment.
Bai Lu's contract has been changed to an artist contract.
He then had HR announce the personnel news in the company group chat.
I wanted to see what kind of expression Yang Chaoyue would have.
Yang Chaoyue picked up his phone sullenly, but after glancing at it casually, he put it aside, seemingly because it was a company group chat.
"Didn't you see it?"
Li Mo observed her and frowned upon seeing this scene.
To prevent this mistake, he had someone notify her again.
She didn't react much when I watched her answer the phone and when she hung up, and she didn't react much to the request either.
He was still biting his straw and looking out the window, just like always.
With no other option, Li Mo had to take matters into his own hands.
I'm in Shanghai. I heard you haven't been feeling well lately?
"Why is it so noisy!"
Yang Chaoyue frowned slightly, somewhat impatient, after being disturbed three times. Just as he was about to mute his phone, he saw a message from Li Mo.
next second!
Her previously sullen face instantly blossomed into a smile. The transformation from a stray puppy to a bright young woman was so rapid, it was as if she were a completely different person.
Who told you that? Do you have work to do since you came back? Don't you go home? It seems like you haven't spent much time in this new place yet.
Yang Chaoyue asked four questions in a row, as if these questions had been prepared in advance.
Now that Li Mo has replied to her, her loneliness has finally been soothed.
Li Mo: [It's my company. Do I need to listen to anyone to tell me what I want to know? Are you kidding me?]
Despite being scolded by Li Mo, Yang Chaoyue smiled happily, which reminded her of the feeling she had when she was on set.
Back then, Li Mo always acted fiercely towards him, but Yang Chaoyue knew that Li Mo was just being stubborn.
That's just how he is!
Yang Chaoyue: [Okay, okay~ You win!]
This is supposedly the ultimate compliment for a boy, but I don't know if it's true or not.
The little girl by the window has changed.
Yang Chaoyue: [You still haven't answered my later questions?]
Li Mo saw Yang Chaoyue's behavior and was speechless.
Li Mo: [What would I do back home if I didn't have a job? Did you think I'd come all this way just to see you? I'll visit your home when I have time. Don't you want to tell me why you're unhappy?]
Yang Chaoyue chuckled by the window, seemingly thinking how wonderful it would be if Li Mo really came to see him.
Then, upon seeing the last question, I paused for two seconds before my fingers flew across the screen.
Yang Chaoyue: [Actually, it's nothing, just a little girl's opinion. By the way, what happened to your new assistant? I heard she was reassigned?]
How could Yang Chaoyue possibly tell Li Mo all of his thoughts?
I could only try to get information indirectly, but chatting casually with Li Mo felt pretty good.
Li Mo looked at the reply, then glanced at the girl by the window, pondered for a moment, and didn't reply further.
Yang Chaoyue waited for a while, but when the phone still didn't respond, he pursed his lips.
Li Mo can't be busy again, can he?
Why is this guy acting the same way as before?!
Just as Yang Chaoyue was about to switch back to her stray dog mode, a staff member from the beverage shop came over with a large cup of milk tea.
"Hello, I didn't order this... Hello... Don't go!" Yang Chaoyue looked up and around in confusion.
Li Mo: [I ordered it for you.]
The phone rang, and Yang Chaoyue, without having time to deal with the matter, looked at the phone again.
Yang Chaoyue: [?]
She quickly got up and looked around, somewhat puzzled.
How did he know I was here?
Li Mo: [Don't you recognize that Maybach outside the window? Idiot!]
Upon seeing this message, Yang Chaoyue's gaze quickly settled on the Maybach outside the window.
Only then did I recall the Maybach that the famous actress Qin Lan had picked up when I first arrived.
Then… she froze, her eyes widening uncontrollably, her expression impossible to control.
Without hesitation, I ran out.
Li Mo: [I heard that drinking something sweet can cheer you up when you're unhappy, so I don't have to worry about dieting. I approve of it today!]
Li Mo was still typing away in the car when he looked up and saw Yang Chaoyue had already rushed out with a cup of milk tea.
As he opened the car door, the bustling night scene outside contrasted sharply with the quiet and peaceful atmosphere inside. The handsome and captivating face was none other than Li Mo, whom Yang Chaoyue knew well.
The rosy complexion is good for one's health, and Li Mo's temperament has become even better.
"Won't you come in and sit down?" Li Mo invited with a smile.
Yang Chaoyue smiled brightly and gave an OK sign. "You invited me, after all!"
Then, in front of Li Mo, she took a sip of the milk tea and, for some reason, it tasted a bit sweeter.
She then added, "I'm definitely much happier now! Why are you so good to me?"
Li Mo was taken aback for a moment, then laughed along, "Because you're my first assistant, no one can replace you!"
The Maybach slowly drove away…
[The commission is complete. Payment: The Prodigal Jacket (It has traveled thousands of miles with its owner, but it is very clean)]
[Effect: When you wear it, you exude a sense of "storytelling," increasing your appeal to artsy young people by 20%]
[Ding~ You can now synthesize three pieces of equipment. Two more years are needed. Please keep up the good work!]
It turns out that Yang Chaoyue's request was not for Li Mo to dismiss anyone.
Actually, she just wanted to ensure her exclusivity, so when the news of Li Mo's reassignment to Bai Lu reached her ears...
She didn't feel anything, because the focus of this matter was never the egret.
As for Li Mo, she wanted Li Mo to personally acknowledge this uniqueness.
That's enough for her!
Therefore, Li Mo still did not go to the so-called home of Yang Chaoyue that night.
He took her to a private chef's restaurant, wanting to cook her a meal himself.
Crystal shrimp, smoked fish, braised gluten with four kinds of meat, crab meat tofu, braised pork and bamboo shoots...
The two ate without any inhibitions, thoroughly enjoying their meal. While eating, Li Mo asked, "Do you still want to be my assistant?"
Yang Chaoyue, still unwilling to give up, asked expectantly, "Is it okay?"
Li Mo shook his head helplessly and glared at her:
"Of course not! You can't be my assistant forever. Your future is bright and promising. Once you've enjoyed the flowers and applause, if you still want to come back and be my assistant, that's not too late!"
Having received a definite answer, Yang Chaoyue extended his little finger: "Then I'll remember that! Pinky promise!"
"So childish!" Li Mo said with utter disdain, but he still reached out his hand and made a pinky promise with her.
