Chapter 931

Finally, in order to preserve their dignity for the next day and avoid the situation of actually having diarrhea halfway through singing, the three of them gave up their beloved barbecue, spicy hot pot, and food stalls, and chose an elegant clubhouse to eat seafood porridge.

"The news of your uncle's death has been kept secret, right?"

"Yeah," Lu Yan He nodded. "Actually, over the years, Sister Ziyan has been watching them. Apart from trying to threaten me and get some money from me at the very beginning, they haven't caused me any trouble since."

"Sister Ziyan is still reliable," Yan Liang said. "That's good, we don't have to worry about this aspect in the future."

Lu Yan He nodded.

Yan Liang asked again: "Then the marriage proposal tomorrow night, is everything arranged? Is there anything else we need to do?"

Lu Yan He: "Everything is arranged, don't do anything."

"Does Siqi have any suspicions at all?" Li Zhibai asked.

"Maybe she suspects it, but she didn't say anything to me, nor did she ask anything," Lu Yan He smiled. "Even if she really guessed it, she wouldn't say it."

"Anyway, we specifically dropped some hints that you were planning to propose to her at the end of the year," Li Zhibai said. "The best way to dispel her suspicion is to make her think this will happen at another time."

Lu Yan He looked at Li Zhibai in surprise. "When did you become so smart? Is this an idea you came up with?"

"That's not it," Li Zhibai shook his head immediately. "It was Yan Liang's idea."

Lu Yan He suddenly realized. "I was wondering."

"What do you mean?" Li Zhibai gave Lu Yan He a dissatisfied look.

Yan Liang: "Okay, okay, don't say it out loud even if you see through it."

He beamed.

Lu Yan He also laughed.

Li Zhibai: "Damn it."

"Oh, don't give up on yourself," Lu Yan He advised.

Li Zhibai looked at Lu Yan He expressionlessly.

Yan Liang nodded, righteously, "Exactly, don't damn yourself no matter who you damn."

Lu Yan He curled his lips, holding back his laughter.

Li Zhibai clenched his fists. "It seems I haven't let you know my power for too long."

Like a tiger descending the mountain, he pounced directly onto Lu Yan He.

"See which dog I'm damning!"

Lu Yan He struggled while laughing.

"Damn, Yan Liang, why aren't you doing anything? You're targeting me!"

"I'm targeting you!"

"You're clearly just unable to beat Yan Liang now!"

The two of them fought from the chairs to the floor.

Yan Liang had a smile on his face, and he didn't know when he had already turned on the video recording on his phone.

After the waiter knocked on the door and came in from outside, he saw three big stars sitting on chairs, but when he looked closely, he was stunned.

Because the appearance of Lu Yan He and Li Zhibai...

Were all a bit...

What was going on with that hair like a chicken coop, the red marks on their faces, and their untidy clothes?

Of course, he couldn't ask, he just silently and suspiciously looked at them a few more times.

When they returned to Huiziyuanqiao, it was already four in the morning.

Lu Yan He washed up simply and lay on the bed.

Although the room was pitch black, he still didn't have much sleepiness.

Indeed, Yan Liang was right; it's not that easy to fall asleep on the night before the concert.

In Lu Yan He's mind, the things that had happened in the past flashed by like a horse passing a gap.

It's very strange.

Logically speaking, he has already seen himself, seen the world, what big scenes hasn't he been on?

However, he suffered from insomnia over his own concert.

He was very sure it wasn't because of nervousness. It was because of something else.

This excitement from the heart, or rather, enthusiasm, is because he regarded it as a crucial node in his life.

Unlike the moment of receiving an award, this is known, and it is something only he understands the significance of.

Lu Yan He suddenly thought, is this another kind of "moving oneself"?

Perhaps it is.

But why can't there be some moments of "moving oneself" in life?

Lu Yan He just let his thoughts run wild like this, and he didn't even know when he fell asleep.

"Jump Up" headquarters.

Today is destined to be very busy.

Because many people have to set off at three in the afternoon to prepare to enter the venue.

Those who have worked for more than six years all got tickets for friends and family.

This is a benefit only for "Jump Up" employees.

Everyone thought Chen Siqi wouldn't come to work today.

Unexpectedly, at 8:30, Chen Siqi appeared in the office and notified people from various departments to have a meeting.

"The sales volume of the summer special issue has declined compared to the same period last year. The sales department should analyze the reasons as soon as possible, whether there is anything we can adjust and optimize. If it is due to the market environment, please produce an analysis report as soon as possible. Our departments must strive to overcome these." Chen Siqi first talked about the sales situation of the summer special issue, and then she brought up another matter.

"Teacher Shi Xia's long serialization is about to start next month. Everyone should understand what this represents. He hasn't exposed his long novel to everyone in advance before the single volume was released for fifteen years, let alone in the form of serialization," Chen Siqi said. "There will be a large number of readers, readers who were not 'Jump Up' readers before, who will buy our magazine to see Teacher Shi Xia's new long novel for the first time. This is a rare opportunity. On the one hand, how to make these readers interested in other articles in our 'Jump Up' and retain these readers; on the other hand, how to further consolidate the position of our 'Jump Up' magazine through this matter is something that all departments must study."

The heads of various departments nodded one after another.

"Here, as the editor-in-chief, I would also like to express my gratitude to Linyu, the executive editor who has been pushing this matter," Chen Siqi said. "Our magazine was founded nine years ago, and it took almost eight years to establish a connection with Teacher Shi, only then to finally establish such a relationship of trust, snatching the debut of Teacher Shi Xia's new long novel from a crowd of old-fashioned literary magazines. Through this, I also want to say one thing: many times, when we want to accomplish something, if we encounter setbacks or are not smooth at the beginning, it doesn't matter. Persistence is a very important thing, and so is perseverance, especially for a paper magazine like ours that has survived against the trend of the times. For the entire Jump Up Group, the revenue of 'Jump Up' magazine is negligible, but in the entire Jump Up Group, everyone knows that 'Jump Up' magazine is the core. My office is also always together with the editorial department's office; everyone should understand why. The magazine we are making is the most different place between the Jump Up brand and all other brands. Everyone should never forget that defending its purity and value is the responsibility of every one of our departments."

Everyone nodded one after another.

After the meeting, Linyu stayed behind.

She asked with a smile: "Everyone is going to watch the concert tonight, why are you still dragging everyone to a meeting to talk about such serious things?"

Chen Siqi said: "If I don't drag everyone to a meeting, I have nothing else to do, and I can't disturb him at this time."

"That's true," Linyu looked at Chen Siqi with interest. "I say, don't you have any expectations in your heart?"

"Expectations for what?" Chen Siqi asked.

"Don't pretend."

"Pretend what, I actually knew it a long time ago," Chen Siqi shook her head. "It's not tonight, don't test me anymore."

"It's not tonight?" Linyu was startled. "Really or fake?"

"Really, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang are secretly adjusting a schedule at the end of the year, and they also helped Yan He book a place, including a ring, specifically hiding it from me, but it was accidentally discovered by Zijun from Li Pengfei," Chen Siqi shrugged her shoulders. "Zijun was afraid that I would have expectations for tonight and feel disappointed, so she told me early."

"Okay," Linyu sighed. "I thought he would propose to you at the concert."

"He knows I don't like being proposed to by him in front of so many people, especially strangers."

"Fine, he understands you."

Linyu sighed with a smile.

"Then let's continue working."

She and Chen Siqi walked out of the conference room together, but the atmosphere outside was a bit strange.

The way everyone looked at them was a bit strange.

To be precise, the way everyone looked at Chen Siqi was full of a kind of eager ambiguity.

"What's the situation?" Linyu asked.

Someone said: "Some media speculate that maybe Lu Yan He will propose to President Chen at the concert tonight. This topic is already on the hot search, and many people are discussing whether it is true."

"What?" Linyu was startled.

Chen Siqi was also a bit surprised.

"What's the situation?"

Linyu turned to look at Chen Siqi.

Chen Siqi shook her head.

"Li Yuefeng posted on Weibo!" someone suddenly shouted. "Li Yuefeng scolded this media for spreading rumors and using unscrupulous means to gain traffic. He said he had asked Lu Yan He long ago, and Lu Yan He had also told him long ago that there was no such arrangement for the concert at all. Please don't be led by such media that are just trying to gain popularity and bring unnecessary pressure to Lu Yan He."

"..."

Linyu let out a long sigh.

"It's a good thing Li Yuefeng stood up at this time," she said. "Otherwise, if Yan He didn't propose to Siqi tonight, I don't know where the public opinion would ferment."
