Chapter 123 Stepping in
After she had tied up her hair, Jiang Lianxue was reluctant to open it. She took Lu Li's hand, and they left the hotel together, preparing to meet the leader of the Culture and Tourism Yue was already waiting outside the hotel, standing next to the business car with a smile on her face, "You two, how was your rest yesterday? Are you used to the accommodation?"
"It's very comfortable." Lu Li said with a smile, "Thank you so much for troubling you."
"Mr. Lu, you are too polite. I hope the food I prepare for lunch today will suit your appetite."
When she heard about the food, Jiang Lianxue's eyes lit up slightly, but her expression and demeanor remained dignified and elegant.
She remembered what Sister Liu Bing had told her in the morning, asking her to eat more when the time came.
The two of them walked for the whole morning and now they were indeed feeling a little hungry.
Jiang Lianxue is ready to show her skills.
Since the local Culture and Tourism Bureau is so hospitable, she won’t be polite!
……
Inside the hotel, Mr. Yuan, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the few people coming in and hurriedly greeted them with a smile, "Welcome, welcome, welcome to Dunhuang."
Lu Li also smiled and bent over to shake hands, "Hello, Mr. Yuan. It's a pleasure to work with you."
"Hello, I guess this is Ms. Jiang Lianxue, the daughter of the Jiang family? Your father, how are you these days?"
Jiang Lianxue was slightly stunned, then realized that it might be another friend of her father who knew her, but she didn't know him.
She smiled politely, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
Fortunately, Mr. Yuan just said a few polite words and didn't really ask about Jiang's father's condition. Jiang Lianxue breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't need to say anything more, just concentrate on eating.
President Yuan also quickly realized that Jiang Lianxue was mainly there to accompany the dinner, and Lu Li was the guest of honor.
There were only four people at the dinner this time, Lu Li, Jiang Lianxue, Mr. Yuan and Wu Yue.
Lu Li and the two people from the Culture and Tourism Bureau got along very well.
It is indeed as Liu Bing said, Mr. Yuan is a very easy-going person. As the leader of the Culture and Tourism Bureau, he usually watches short videos intensively just to understand what young people like nowadays.
Now college students have become the main consumer group and their purchasing power cannot be underestimated.
How to get more college students and young people to visit their local area is something that every leader of the Cultural and Tourism Bureau is racking their brains to figure out.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mr. Yuan began to ask Lu Li about various novel things and topics that young people like, and Wu Yue helped to explain.
As for Jiang Lianxue, she never stopped talking the whole time, but she was not talking, she was eating.
The world is in turmoil, but food remains wonderful.
At the dinner table, Mr. Yuan and Wu Yue actually both wanted to ask Jiang Lianxue to be the publicity ambassador, but Lu Li either changed the subject or brushed it aside.
Although he is just an ordinary college student, he has seen a lot of things like drinking parties.
Besides, he hadn't drunk any alcohol and his mind was clear.
Jiang Lianxue will never be pushed to the front.
The Jiang family protected her very well in the past, and Lu Li will be able to do the same in the future.
Jiang Lianxue only needs to eat and drink happily, while Lu Li has a lot of things to consider.
Until the end of the meal, Lu Li did not give in. The Cultural and Tourism Bureau did not force him too much, and President Yuan knew in his heart that even if Lu Li gave in at the table, the Jiang family would not admit it.
After this meal, he had a general understanding of the future son-in-law of the Jiang family.
Although he looks young, he is very calm and experienced.
However, Jiang Lianxue was still the same as the rich girl I knew before. She seemed to care nothing about anything and lived in her own world, keeping strangers away.
After sending Lu Li and the other person to the car, President Yuan gently knocked on the driver's window and told Wu Yue, "Drive slowly and be careful."
"Don't worry, leader. We will ensure that the task is completed."
Wu Yue started the car with a smile and drove towards the performance venue. It was not far from the restaurant where they were going to dine, and it only took about ten minutes to reach the entrance of the Dunhuang Grand Theater.
Lu Li took Jiang Lianxue's hand and entered through the work passage. There was a performance going on on the stage this afternoon, so they had to wait until the performance was over before they could go on stage to check out the venue.
Jiang Lianxue took out her cell phone and made a video call to Lan Yuting. Several seniors from the drama club were sitting together in the activity room, watching the large projection screen.
Jiang Lianxue glanced at the stage, then lowered her head and smiled, "The performance is still going on, and we'll be able to go on stage soon."
"That's a good angle. Is this a musical?"
Lan Yuting, who was on the other side of the video, stood up and came closer to observe it carefully. "Is this Andrew Lloyd Webber's famous work Cats?"
"Yes." Jiang Lianxue nodded affirmatively. She remembered that she had watched this musical on Broadway when she was a child.
At that time, she didn't really understand it, she just thought that the humanoid cat wearing various furry clothes was a little scary.
Now watching it, it seems quite interesting.
Lu Li and Jiang Lianxue stood backstage, enjoying the musical while keeping an eye on the backstage passage.
When the performance begins, these channels are important to ensure that the actors and props are in place in time.
Because Wu Yue, a staff member of the Culture and Tourism Bureau, didn't know much about theater and drama, she found a theater staff member to introduce the two to each other.
Although the members of Zhilan Drama Club were just a group of college students, the theater staff did not look down on them.
As a practitioner in the theater industry, he had heard of Zhilan's name. It was the only college student theater troupe in China that could perform on the same stage with major well-known theater troupes.
Facts have proved that the professional quality of Zhilan Drama Club is indeed very strong. Lan Yuting and Sun Zhipeng raised a series of key questions that needed to be confirmed in the video, and the theater staff answered them one by one.
He felt that the cooperation between the two parties was very smooth and efficient. Every question was anticipated and there were no unnecessary inquiries.
Before they officially went on stage to check out the location, the few of them had already figured out the general layout of the entire stage just through conversation.
Lu Li and Jiang Lianxue knew nothing about this, but they felt it was impressive.
Normally, everyone in the drama club is quite abstract, but once they enter the field related to drama, they will instantly become serious.
Although the number of participants in Zhilan is not large every year, they are indeed the elites on the stage.
A few people chatted for a long time backstage. When the musical on the stage was about to end, a tall and handsome man pushed the door and rushed into the backstage with an excited look on his face.
"I heard that Zhilan's people are here? Let me see if the newcomers are good-looking!"
Lan Yuting and the others on the video call widened their eyes at the same time when they saw the man, "Damn! Why is he here!"
