Lu Xingzhi still believes in the saying ’showing undue favor when there’s nothing is either a traitor or a thief’.
Usually, Helian Yi doesn’t like her at all, and now he’s trying to please her, he must need her for sothing.
Helian Yi still smiled, "How can we use the word ’beg’? I just feel like I was too much of a jerk before and wanted to apologize to you."
"Fine, I forgive you. I’m going upstairs." Lu Xingzhi didn’t believe a word he said!
Given Helian Yi’s arrogant and cool personality, he suddenly has a conscience and apologizes to her.
She only wanted to say: Haha!
Seeing Lu Xingzhi heading upstairs, Helian Yi quickly called out to her.
"Little Zhi Liao..."
Lu Xingzhi stopped, "If it’s not the word ’beg’, should it be ’please’ then?"
"Little Zhi Liao, he’s actually here to ask a favor. He has a concert at eight o’clock the day after tomorrow, and there’s a song that needs a piano accompanint. Originally, he asked Shen Xinzhu, and she agreed. But now, Shen Xinzhu stood him up and went abroad."
Helian Xi was very disdainful of Helian Yi, clearly here to ask for help, yet his attitude wasn’t right.
She was increasingly disgusted with Shen Xinzhu, making promises, and now just breaking them.
Does she really think that without her, there is no one else in the world?
"So, you want to ask for help?" Lu Xingzhi understood why Helian Yi was being so sycophantic.
"It won’t take much of your ti."
"Ignore him." Huo Jincheng took Lu Xingzhi’s hand, "You’re tired, go rest."
"Third Brother, you can’t just watch your brother’s concert get ruined!" Helian Yi looked painfully pleading, "I just really can’t find a suitable person!"
"With so many pianists out there, with your capability, you really can’t find one?" Huo Jincheng questioned, no one would believe this.
"It’s not that I can’t find one, it’s just that so are too ugly." Helian Yi didn’t ntion that so looked okay, but their playing level wasn’t to his liking.
"Then don’t play the piano, just cut that part." Huo Jincheng had no intention of letting Lu Xingzhi help him!
"Third Brother, it’s an added bonus lody! I just have one song, the whole piece perford on piano. Plus, this ti, with an audience of fifty thousand, I want to deliver a perfect performance." Helian Yi was on the verge of crying.
"Little Zhi Liao, you play the piano too, can you bear it if there were flaws in your performance?" Helian Yi pleaded sincerely, "I really have no choice, you see..."
"Is there an appearance fee?" Lu Xingzhi cared only about this point.
"Huh?" Helian Yi had prepared many words to say, then nodded, "Yes. Two hundred thousand, is that okay? It’s just one piece."
"Can I go?" Lu Xingzhi didn’t imdiately answer Helian Yi but looked at Huo Jincheng.
"As long as you’re willing." Lu Xingzhi naturally deserved to shine on a big stage, not to be buried like this. This, in a way, was a form of taking the stage.
"Alright then!" Lu Xingzhi looked at Helian Yi, "I really don’t want to help you, but for your third brother and Xixi’s sake, I can’t refuse you. However, if you don’t give money, I won’t agree either. None of these conditions can be missing, so don’t be too confident in bearing this cost."
Helian Yi: "..."
WTF!!
Did she really need to be so clear and straightforward?
He was just about to thank her!
