Lu Yuan was cheated.
At this moment he thought about when he was cheated by a little girl when he was a kid.
That year...
The little girl is innocent, and so is he.
Then, he remembered, she cheated his candies while watching the little girl grow up.
It hit him deeply.
After growing up, Lu Yuan determined to become a slippery liar with great pretentious skill.
This feeling is even stronger after crossing, and he strives to change effectively towards this direction.
Where there is ambition to reach.
There will also be sharpening experiences among the reaches.
However, in this first war, he already died, and he's not even halfway there.
And then? Disappear? Start all over again?
Perhaps in the future, this will become a stain in Lu Yuan's life.
An indelible stain.
"What's wrong? Aren't you surprised? A coincidental fate like this is really wonderful, don't you think so too? Lu Yuan..brother?" An Xiao looked at Lu Yuan.
Her eyes were full of anticipation, excitement and ridicule.
The whole room was filled with a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.
"..." Lu Yuan felt overwhelmed, he looked outside the window and wanted to go out to take a breathe.
A gust of wind was blowing outside the house.
The wind blew the cans of drinks on the street.
Lu Yuan's eyes noticed the billboard sign of "Remote Film Company" outside the house.
This is not a good sign, both literally and metaphorically.
"Lu Yuan, you can't be a liar. Really, if you say you are a little talented in music, I still believe it, but being a liar... For example, I can see it at a glance that your company is hastily assembled, from the desks, the chairs, and the computers, it's all a mess. And the dusts on the computer, the stupid photo frames on the wall, and the unrelated information stickers on the door frame, the front desk, and other desks... everything is too fake." Wang Xun Xue looked at everything that Lu Yuan wanted to conceals, she shook her head slightly then stared at Lu Yuan.
She spilled out everything that she sees.
Everything here is telling her that Lu Yuan is lying.
It seems that, except for Lu Yuan, who is in truly in front of her now, everything else here is fake.
Lu Yuan did not dare to look at Wang Xun Xue.
He feels guilty.
He wanted to lower his head.
After all the pretenses were torn, what was left of Lu Yuan?
In fact, Wang Xun Xue has always been confronting Lu Yuan since the first time they met. She hinted out Lu Yuan's many flaws before and trying to completely suppress Lu Yuan's arrogance, and then taking the lead in the negotiation.
Wang Xun Xue is giving an imposing momentum.
She pressed hard with her dominance.
This momentum pushed Lu Yuan to the corner, and almost let Lu Yuan completely put down his insistence.
Everything she does makes Lu Yuan feels the taste of submission.
However, when Lu Yuan was about to bow his head, he suddenly remembered the song [Stubborn].
"Me and my proud stubbornness,
I'll sing loudly into the wind
This time, just let myself crazy
Just this time
Me and my stubbornness!"
Lu Yuan is a little embarrassed.
There's actually nothing wrong with admitting mistakes.
It's OK to admit that you were exaggerating.
It's OK to admit that you were deceiving.
It's OK to admit that you were lying.
However, since you have decided that you wanted to change yourself, you cannot leave it halfway.
Life requires a sense of ritual.
Transformation requires a sense of persistence.
"It doesn't matter how the company looks now or how it used to be. What matter is how the company will be in the future, and in whose hands the future will be!"
"Then according to you, how far can your shell company go?" Wang Xun Xue was surprised to hear Lu Yuan's words.
"Far away across the other side!"
The morning sun was extremely bright.
There were some heat waves in the sunlight.
An outbreak after despair, and an outbreak after oppression.
In this brief emotional confrontation, Lu Yuan slowly lifted his head, which was about to collapse, and condensed all the broken self-confidence together.
He is revived!
When he answered Wang Xun Xue question, his eyes were glowing, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, his mentality looked exactly the same as when he was done playing 'To Alice' before.
Pretending to be elegant, pretending to be noble, pretending to be proud.
He has to be pretentious.
Men can be poor, they can have no money, they can have no power, but they can't help it when it comes to bragging and be pretentious!
In a sentence, they all want to brag or pretend to be special.
At this moment Lu Yuan devoted his pretentious to this cause.
He think it wouldn't matter even if he failed.
At least he tried!
And then, his pretense giving off an inspirational aura!
"..." Wang Xun Xue's mouth opened a little, and was shocked by the sudden momentum from Lu Yuan. After a while, she shook her head.
Lu Yuan's words were originally a very ridiculous thing, but Wang Xun Xue found that she couldn't laugh.
Not only she can't laugh it out, Lu Yuan even producing a weird convincing aura.
Isn't it ridiculous?
"What about the contract?"
"Here it is." An Xiao took out the printed contract and handed it to Wang Xun Xue.
"How do you plan to shoot? And, what arrangements do you have?" Wang Xun Xue took a look at the contract and then looked at Lu Yuan. This time she asked Lu Yuan very seriously.
"Before the payment is in place, I would not disclose anything. You are not an investor yet, this is my company's secret." Lu Yuan sat in an office chair and looked at Wang Xun Xue.
"What about the bank number?"
"Its written in the contract."
"Oh."
Wang Xun Xue nodded, then took out her mobile phone and sent a text message.
"I have already asked someone to transfer the money" Wang Xun Xue sat across from Lu Yuan, signed the contract, and handed the contract to Lu Yuan.
"Ok."
After Lu Yuan found no problem with the contract, he signed it.
The signing formalities for the script was completed quickly.
Shortly after, a successful bank transfer message appeared on Lu Yuan's phone.
Lu Yuan was slightly shocked after looking at the numbers, but his face remained calm.
The show needs to go on.
"Two months later, I want to see a sample." When Wang Xun Xue noticed that Lu Yuan's little thumb slightly shaking, she immediately became clear of the situation.
"Yes!" Lu Yuan placed the contract carefully after signing, his mind was steady, and his eyes remained calm.
Low-key, calm, modest, and polite.
Lu Yuan portrayed the gentleman in his mind.
But his heart screamed, you damned liar!.
............….
"Are you going solo?"
"Well, yeah, I can't talk to the people in the group, and there is always a gap. Everyone has different ideas."
"Which area are you going to develop as a solo?"
"Singing, I like to sing, maybe I will try a movie in the future ..."
"The first album after solo is important."
"Yeah, so I'll fly to Chengdu to visit Lin Yu teacher tomorrow. If I'm lucky, maybe he can write a song for me."
"A lot of people have been looking for Lin Yu teacher in recent years, but they all ended up in failure."
"But I still have to try after all, am i?"
"Oh, true."
After signing the contract, Lu Yuan originally thought that Wang Xun Xue and An Xiao would leave.
Lu Yuan also planned to wait for the two to leave, and then ran to the bank to see if the million was real.
If it is true, then he will take a hundred thousand first.
In this life, no, in his two lives, he really hasn't experienced how it feels to hold 100,000 yuan in his hands.
However, it make him very speechless how the two not showing any intention to leave.
Instead, they casually chat here, like its their home.
Lu Yuan cooked a pot hot water to make Pu'er tea.
Serving each of them a drink.
The two talked until noon while drinking tea.
Talking about everything in their circles.
Lu Yuan was hungry and dozing off a bit.
But the two still did not intend to leave, and he could not leave.
This is politeness.
So he can only stay here with them.
"Lu Yuan, I heard Sister Xun Xue said that your piano composition is very good. Wouldn't you consider helping me compose a piano song for my new album? You compose, Sister Xun Xue plays..."
After chatting for a while, An Xiao suddenly looked at Lu Yuan with both hands on her cheeks.
Her cheeks were a little rosy and glistening that it looks like it could squeezes water out.
She is happy.
She has never heard of piano song called [To Alice].
But she knew Wang Xun Xue's evaluation of Lu Yuan yesterday.
That is ...
A genius!
"No, I'm not really good at composing music." Lu Yuan groaned for a while, then shook his head.
He finally said some truth.
Some things he can be pretentious.
There are also some that he can't.
I will be stupid if I do...
Don't mess around.
It could ruin other people life.
If the pretense failed, he wont have any good ending.
"You're not a humble person, so don't use this kind of sarcasm to be a disgusting person." Wang Xun Xue stared at Lu Yuan's eyes with a little unhappy look.
"I lied you dont believe me, i said the truth you also don't believe me..." Lu Yuan sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"Did you wrote [To Alice]?"
"Yes." Lu Yuan nodded.
Although it's hypocritical, he still nodded his head.
Of course, in his heart, he has already apologized to a certain grand pianist XX number times and self-criticized himself XX times.
"Do you know why I give you a million yuan so easily?"
"A good script?"
"Of course not. Even if the script is better, we are not very familiar, and even though I don't care about this million, I will not hand it over. Moreover, I checked your resume and your director's certificate... As for its authenticity, I won't say it... "
"And then why?" Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes.
There was insecurity in his eyes.
He will not admit anything.
He has his own persistence.
Even if others think he is fake, he cannot be a fake.
"The song [To Alice] is worth more than a million." Wang Xun Xue moved his body slightly, and look in a distance with a yearning emotion.
"Huh?" Lu Yuan was suddenly silent.
[To Alice], this piano masterpiece is too scary and too classic.
No matter in which world, its potential won't be eradicated.
He can plagiarize it.
However, he can not deny its value.
So he chose not to say anything.
"If you really compose it, I believe in your talent." Wang Xun Xue stared at Lu Yuan. "So can you help her? In the future, we can also help you, a few more helpers in this world. Wouldn't that be good? "
"Yeah, brother Lu Yuan ... you help me, okay... please...please...please..." An Xiao shamelessly began to act cute again.
She even cutely stretching out his sleeves with her arms.
"How do I feel like I was being sold?" Lu Yuan looked away slightly, and withdrew his hand subconsciously.
He had a feeling that he seemed unable to extricate himself from the quagmire.
"Yes, you can describe it this way, it's a deal!" Wang Xun Xue smiled, this time she is smiling brilliantly.
She felt that the previous two encounters with Lu Yuan were always in a disadvantage, but this time it seemed that she have the upper hand.
The sunlight temperature is perfect, its warm and bright.
Everybody is happy.
"I can help you compose a song, I can even help you write a theme song for your album, and I can guarantee it's a good song, so you don't have to ask for others, and there is a high probability that it will be hot!"
"You are very confident." An Xiao stopped acting cute and began to look serious.
"You go out and buy me a pack of cigarettes first. I don't know about anything else, but the confidence to make you buy cigarettes for me, I have it."
"What? What do you mean, let me buy cigarettes for you?" An Xiao froze for a moment, her face showing an unbelievable look.
This sudden turn is a little bit too big for her.
"I want "Red Orchid"!"
"You! You are too much!" An Xiao stood up sharply.
"You don't have to go, I don't have to write, this is a gamble, so would you gamble?" Lu Yuan is confident.
Furthermore, he looked arrogantly at Wang Xun Xue.
"I won't help anyone buy cigarettes even if I die ..." An Xiao was extremely stubborn.
"Well, do whatever you want, oh, by the way, if you go to buy, take some food by the way, I'm hungry." Lu Yuan smiled lightly.
"What! What did you say!"
