After sending Lu Xueru off, Secretary Lin entered Lu Qingqiao’s office and said, “CEO Lu, Mrs. Xu has sent you an invitation to the National Style Music Appreciation Conference. The time is 10 am this Saturday. Would you like to go?

“Yes,” Lu Qingqiao nodded.

“I’ll go back to Mrs. Xu now,” Lin Xu said.

“Lin Xu, are you coming with me this Saturday?” Lu Qingqiao asked.

She remembered Lin Xu had learned the guzheng for some time. She would probably like to go and take a look.

“Alright.”

“Distribute the cake that Lu Xueru brought,” Lu Qingqiao said.

When Lin Xu left the office, she looked at the blueberry cake in her hand and sighed.

President Lu was probably still jealous about Young Master Si and Lu Xueru being together.

After Lu Xueru left the Lu Corporation, she waited for Si Jingsen to have lunch with her in the lobby of Ji Rui International.

Lu Xueru was resting quietly in her seat when Si Jingsen found her nanny car in the parking lot. When she heard his voice, she opened her sleepy and innocent eyes and looked at Si Jingsen. “Brother Sen, you’re done?”

She was like a cat that had been waiting for a long time, and Si Jingsen’s heart softened immediately.

He liked Lu Xueru’s clingy gentleness, which differed from Lu Qingqiao’s strength.

He felt that Lu Qingqiao was more suitable to be displayed on the stage while Lu Xueru was more suitable to be hugged and kissed.

“Yes, I’m done. What do you want to eat for lunch?” Si Jingsen kissed the corner of her lips gently as he asked her.

He had always been gentle.He was as gentle as water when he kissed Lu Xueru like he wanted to drown her in it. Lu Xueru blushed instantly and murmured. “Sen, Brother Sen.”

Si Jingsen’s hand wrapped around her waist. His eyes darkened as if he was thinking about something. In the end, he suppressed his thoughts and said in a slightly hoarse voice, “Let’s have lunch.”

If he didn’t have work in the afternoon, he wouldn’t have let go of this annoying little thing so quickly.

Lu Xueru was a public figure, so they had reserved a private room for them. After they ordered their food, Lu Xueru told Si Jingsen about her visit to the Lu Corporation in the morning.

Si Jingsen tried to comfort Lu Xueru upon hearing the disappointment in her tone. However, she was still frowning worriedly.

“Brother Sen, I truly don’t think I can get this role. What a coincidence. I’ve finally thought of a way to get the role, but my sister has already lent the old house to Director Xu.”

“I don’t feel good right now, but I honestly like that character.”

By the time she reached the end of her sentence, she was already in tears.

Si Jingsen said gently, “Little Qing didn’t know you had this idea. She didn’t mean to target you. Moreover, Xueru, you have to believe in your ability. Don’t worry. I’ll get someone to investigate the preparations of the other actors for the audition and find you a good teacher to train you.”

Lu Xueru smiled and said sweetly, “Thank you, Brother Sen. You’re so good to me.”

Then, she seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said,

“Brother Sen, I remember that Grandpa Si and Old Huo know each other. Can you get in touch with him? There’s a lot of national studies knowledge in the movie, and I want to ask him first. Also, Director Xu needs guidance from a National Study Master like Old Huo.

“But I heard his whereabouts are uncertain, and it is difficult to invite him. Brother Sen, it would be great if you could invite him.”

Lu Xueru had thought of asking the master of Chinese Academy, Old Huo, to guide Director Xu. This was a more reliable method than the previous one. After all, if she could not find a suitable filming location, she could build another one. But there was only one Old Huo.

Old Huo had rarely appeared in the past few years, and even Director Xu might not be able to get him. So, if she could get Old Huo, she would surely get the role.
