Chapter 162 If you get into trouble in the future, don't expose your father
After fighting with Chu Ze for a while, as expected, Chu Wanqing was easily subdued.
Chu Wanqing didn't want to play with him anymore. After breaking away, she continued the previous topic: "Then you and sister-in-law can't keep it secret for the rest of your life, right? Aren't you going to get married yet?"
"Aren't there a lot of celebrities who are secretly married? I guess your brother will be treated the same in the future." Chu Ze didn't care whether it was officially announced or not. The main thing was that it was quite uncomfortable to have to be secretive about his girlfriend even though she was his girlfriend.
"Ah? Then won't I be able to tell anyone else that Sister An Ruo is my sister-in-law?" Chu Wanqing was extremely disappointed after hearing this.
I finally have a superstar sister-in-law, but I can't tell anyone and have to keep it to myself.
"I'm really sorry that I can't let you show off." Chu Ze certainly knew what Chu Wanqing was thinking.
Who can resist the vanity of thinking that the celebrity being discussed by classmates is actually someone you know?
Oh my god, the celebrity you are discussing is my sister-in-law!
Chu Wanqing knew that this matter was hopeless, and then he remembered something: "Oh, brother, you promised to help me debut."
"Haven't you already earned one million? Why are you still thinking about making your debut?" Chu Ze thought that your dream of becoming a star had come to an end, so why haven't you forgotten your original intention?
"Can't you?"
"If you want to make your debut, you have to return the money to me." Chu Ze stretched out his hand.
"Why?" Chu Wanqing took a small step back.
"The original bet was that I would either let you debut and make you famous, or I would give you one million. Now you have taken the one million, and now you want me to help you debut. How can it be so easy?" Didn't Chu Ze spend this one million just to dispel Chu Wanqing's unrealistic dream?
So you took the money and still cheated?
"Can't I take both?" Chu Wanqing put her hands on her hips. "I'll be an adult during the summer vacation, so I don't have to make a choice."
"In that case, I can beat you up without worry. After all, the Minor Protection Act can't protect you." Chu Ze rubbed his fists together, and his fingers made crackling sounds.
Chu Wanqing immediately became timid.
"Let's not talk about the gambling issue. The main thing is that you're a girl. Neither I nor your parents really want you to get involved in the muddy water of the entertainment industry. Haven't you seen so many unspoken rules in it before in Shanghai?" Chu Ze sighed and said earnestly.
Chu Wanqing also recalled the unpleasant experience before, but still stubbornly stiffened her neck: "What's wrong with a girl? Isn't my sister-in-law fine?"
"Her family is rich." Chu Ze glanced at her.
In the entertainment industry, if you want to avoid being subject to unspoken rules and still become famous, you simply need a background that is either rich or powerful. You must have one of these, otherwise why would others give you resources?
Because you are good looking?
There is no shortage of good-looking people in the entertainment industry.
Based on your strength?
What the entertainment industry needs least is strength.
"Don't you have money too?" Chu Wanqing scratched his head in confusion.
"The amount of money I have is nothing in the entertainment industry, and I don't have any connections in the industry. How can I take care of you?" Chu Ze said that you have overestimated me a little.
Although he is a reborn person, he is just a useless person. Other protagonists have already established business empires, but he has just achieved his small goal.
Although Lao Wang’s small goal has always been ridiculed and used as a meme, only when you reach this level will you deeply understand this sentence.
One hundred million is an unattainable number in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is indeed just a small goal for those capitalist bosses.
In the entertainment industry, which is a great way to make money, a small company's assets cannot be ranked high.
Who does he think he is to be Chu Wanqing's background?
"But your sister-in-law can. Anyway, you want to be famous for the money. If you really need money, just tell me. There is no need to debut." Chu Ze continued.
"But it's so glorious to be famous. You see, my sister-in-law has fans following her wherever she goes. It's a great feeling just to think about it." Chu Wanqing seemed to envy this kind of scene where everyone is the center of attention.
"Cool?" Chu Ze sneered, "You're teasing me?" "Your sister-in-law has to wear a mask and sunglasses every time she goes out, for fear of being recognized. She has no freedom at all. You call this cool?"
"This is the trouble of being famous. Many people want to experience it but can't." Chu Wanqing obviously didn't want to hear it.
"Didn't you want money before? Why do you want fame now?" Chu Ze felt a headache.
“It was because we didn’t have money before.” Chu Wanqing curled her lips.
"now what?"
“Now I really have a million.”
"..."
It is true that human desires are endless. When you have no money, you want money; when you have money, you want fame.
There is always something that is not satisfactory.
Moreover, the vanity that being a star brings is indeed something that many girls pursue.
Chu Ze was helpless: "If you really want to, I will discuss it with your sister-in-law tonight. If she is willing to take you, I have no objection."
……
After listening to what Chu Ze said in the video, Xia Anruo was not very opposed to Chu Wanqing's desire to make his debut.
With her resources and connections, it is too easy for her to help someone debut and make him famous. However, Xia Anruo is still worried about Chu Wanqing's personal ability.
"Has Qingqing ever sung before?" Xia Anruo asked.
"You ask this question. Is there anyone who has never sung a song? I often hum a few lines." Chu Ze scratched his head.
Xia Anruo was at a loss for words after hearing Chu Ze's reply. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "I mean, has she ever participated in any singing activities or competitions, like the school's cultural evening?"
"You're asking this? Then it should be no."
Anyway, Chu Ze has never heard of it.
"How can you make your debut if you don't have any experience in stage singing and have never received any systematic singing training?" Xia Anruo shook her head.
In this situation, it's meaningless to use your connections to promote him. Not to mention whether he will become popular, even if he does, he will probably be a black celebrity.
She didn't think that this kind of black and red girl like Chu Wanqing could bear it.
So no matter what, at least you have to have something to show for it.
"Is it not possible? Aren't there a lot of traffic stars in your entertainment industry who have no skills at all?" Chu Ze was puzzled.
"..."
Xia Anruo didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Because this is indeed true.
"So you want Qingqing to be a traffic star?" Xia Anruo obviously didn't want Chu Wanqing to be a traffic star.
She herself was scolded like this in the beginning, and she didn't want Chu Wanqing to experience the same thing.
"Forget it. Even if she wants to be one, her looks aren't outstanding enough. Why not just throw her into an underground girl group and live out her days?" Chu Ze waved his hand.
"You are really my brother." Xia Anruo smiled.
"Let her experience the dangers of society, so that she won't be thinking about being rich or famous all day long, as if it's easy." Chu Ze said this righteously and with great dignity.
"Aren't there music clubs in universities? You can let Qingqing join the club first, participate in more activities, learn some music knowledge, lay a good foundation and accumulate some experience. When her level is similar and she is willing to do so, I will bring her into the industry." Xia Anruo thought for a while and made a plan for Chu Wanqing.
"Okay, but I'm afraid that she will find it troublesome and give up while learning." Chu Ze knew that Chu Wanqing was a lazy person. Without any huge temptation in front of her, she would have no motivation to persist.
"Isn't that exactly what you want?" Xia Anruo said with a smile.
"Forget it, let's not talk about her. When will you come back?" After talking about Chu Wanqing's affairs, Chu Ze is now more concerned about Xia Anruo's itinerary.
They haven't seen each other for a long time. Xia Anruo was confused when she heard this: "I don't know. I will be touring the country starting next month. Now I practice singing from morning to night every day, and I have to promote my concert. I don't have time to come back."
"You're going on tour?" Chu Ze was stunned, then suddenly asked expectantly, "Will Jiang Cheng come?"
If they come to Jiangcheng for a tour, won’t they be able to meet?
"No, my last concert was in Jiangcheng. This time I mainly want to go to a city where I haven't held a concert before." Xia Anruo shook her head.
"In that case, if you don't have time to come back, I'll go see you." Chu Ze suggested, stroking his chin.
"You came to see me?" Xia Anruo was stunned.
"Yes, when is the first concert of your tour?" Chu Ze asked.
"October 3rd."
"Isn't it the National Day holiday? Give me some tickets and I'll come to your concert." Chu Ze clapped his hands and said directly.
Xia Anruo raised the corners of her mouth when she heard that. She didn't say much, but just replied with a "OK". The irrepressible sweet smile on her face made anyone feel the joy in her heart.
The next day, Chu Ze told Chu Wanqing to go to the club to hone her skills and gain some stage experience before letting her make her debut.
Chu Wanqing refused to accept this and said that Chu Ze was deliberately making things difficult for her.
Then Chu Ze told her that it was your sister-in-law's idea.
Chu Wanqing filled out the application form for the singing club that day without saying a word.
What else could Chu Ze say?
It’s true that even a brother’s words are not as effective as those of his sister-in-law.
However, freshmen have to wait until the military training is over before they can officially join the club and participate in club activities, so Chu Wanqing can only continue his military training with peace of mind.
……
The news that An Ruo would start a national tour in October was soon released, with Suzhou as the first stop.
Tickets were sold out within two seconds of being released on various ticket purchasing apps.
Last year, An Ruo's concert tickets were already very hard to get, and this year An Ruo's popularity is even higher than before. She is a household name, and it is no exaggeration to say that she is currently the most popular female singer in the country. In addition, this is her first concert in more than a year, and with so many buffs, concert tickets are now hard to come by.
If An Ruo's concert tickets could still be bought from scalpers before, they are now so popular that even the high-priced tickets from scalpers are basically sold out.
These days, there are all kinds of outrageous news saying:
"Shocking! Tickets for An Ruo's concert are hard to come by, and tickets for the main venue are as high as hundreds of thousands!"
"A concert ticket costs millions. Is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality?"
We don't know whether these news are true or not, but at least we can get a glimpse of the whole picture... no, it's a glimpse of the whole picture, which shows that An Ruo's popularity is really terrifying and her fans are really fanatical.
Cheng Ran almost knelt down to Chu Ze: "Brother Ze, please save the child and grant him a ticket!"
Needless to say, this idiot naturally didn't get the ticket. There are no scalper tickets now, and he can't afford to buy it even if there are any. He can only come to Chu Ze and cry poor and act pitiful.
“Didn’t get a ticket?”
"correct."
"Haha, flying!" Chu Ze mocked mercilessly.
Finally I have avenged myself for what happened in Chapter 2.
You say women hold grudges. You have a narrow mind even smaller than your own.
Cheng Ran's mouth twitched and his fists hardened, but since he needed help, he could only swallow his anger: "Ah, yes, yes, I'm Feiwu, so Brother Ze, money..."
"What benefit will I get from giving you the money?" Chu Ze began to arrange the music scores.
"I can give you money." Cheng Ran said flatteringly.
"Do you think I'm short of money?"
"Then what are you lacking? Lack of morality?"
"..."
You still like leather at this time, right?
"Okay, I'm a bad person, you go away and kneel down." Chu Ze turned around and left with a bad look on his face.
Cheng Ran hurriedly hugged Chu Ze's thigh: "Stop it, I was wrong, brother, my mouth was twitching just now."
I think you've lost your mind.
"No, no, no, you are right. I am indeed immoral, so I punish you by making you copy the Tao Te Ching ten times and hand it to me. I have to make up for my lack of virtue." Chu Ze looked down at Cheng Ran.
"Shit, it will take me forever to copy this?" Cheng Ran jumped up when he heard it.
"Not much, only 5,000 words each time. 5,000 words a day, and it will be finished in ten days. I have to type at least 4,000 words every day." Chu Ze patted Cheng Ran's head.
"Fuck, you typed and I wrote by hand, how can they be the same?" Cheng Ran retorted.
"Hey, doesn't this show your sincerity? Think about how much a ticket to Anruo costs now. You can make hundreds of thousands of dollars just by copying a few words." Chu Ze made sense.
Are these just a few copied words?
Cheng Ran wanted to get angry, but changed his mind after thinking about it: "Okay, I'll copy it."
After saying that, a few minutes later, Cheng Ran slapped the draft paper with the Tao Te Ching copied ten times in front of Chu Ze.
Chu Ze took it and took a look at it, he was dumbfounded: "No, you just copied a title?"
"Just tell me if it's the Tao Te Ching?" Cheng Ran shouted shamelessly.
"Damn...if you had used your cleverness in the exams you wouldn't have failed so many subjects." Chu Ze was convinced.
"How do you know I'm useless?"
"?"
No, you can lose by cheating, and you can lose by using cheats?
"Okay, okay, I'll leave one for you when I get the tickets." Chu Ze was afraid of him.
I just hope that if he gets into trouble in the future, he won’t expose me as his father. I can’t afford to lose face like that.
After hearing this, Cheng Ran patted the dust off his knees contentedly and left.
Of course, Cheng Ran was not the only one who wanted to get a ticket but failed. In the dormitory, Chu Wanqing's roommate Fan Siqi, who was a fan of An Ruo, also failed to get one.
She held up her phone and complained, "It's so hard to get a ticket. It was sold out within a second of being released."
"Siqi, what are you stealing?" asked another roommate, Li Xuanxuan.
"I ordered the tickets for An Ruo's first tour as soon as they were released, but I still couldn't get one." Fan Siqi looked worried.
"Tickets for these big singers are hard to get. I tried to get Lao Cui's tickets before and they were sold out in seconds." Another roommate, Qin Yue, also chimed in to comfort.
"Doesn't An Ruo still have many shows on tour? There will still be a chance at the next stop." Li Xuanxuan said.
"But the first game is during National Day and we happen to be on holiday. We have classes during the next game and can't go." Fan Siqi sighed.
"Yes, it seems a bit difficult." Qin Yue also realized it.
Just when Fan Siqi was feeling depressed because she couldn't attend An Ruo's concert, Chu Wanqing, who had been lying on the bed listening to the discussion below, suddenly poked his head out:
"Siqi, do you want to go to An Ruo's concert?"
