Chapter 642 Frivolity
Chapter 642 Frivolity
Richard reluctantly walked toward the control room only after watching the door close.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and asked Siphas:
"What do you think about me?"
As he spoke, he straightened his collar.
Sifas was completely bewildered: "Sir, I don't understand what you mean."
Richard coughed twice. "Well...am I really that unattractive? It seems like Tang doesn't even want to talk to me much..."
Sifas smiled: "Perhaps she thinks you're too busy with work and it's not the right time for casual conversation."
“You’re right.” Richard stopped again, then flicked his hair. “Sifas, I heard Tang is still single. Do you think she would agree if I asked her out?”
Sifas's smile froze for a moment, and the image of Chang Yun protecting his own involuntarily flashed into his mind.
"Sir, if I may be frank, Ms. Lu is completely different from your ex-girlfriends!"
The word 'different' was emphasized heavily by Sifas.
Westerners are generally more open-minded, especially within certain circles. What might be considered a 'scandal' or 'dirt' in other continents could be a trivial matter here.
Therefore, most of the female celebrities Richard dated in the past were people he clicked with and got together with immediately, but they would probably break up after a day or two.
Siphas's words were no longer an implication, but a direct statement.
Unfortunately, Richard was completely out of his mind and didn't understand at all:
"How do you know it's different? Tang is so beautiful. Maybe she's like me, the kind of person who 'hangs out among women' in private? I think there must be many men willing to fall at her feet."
Sifas was speechless: "Ms. Lu doesn't look like that kind of person at all, although she is indeed very charming. Sir, you can't judge others based on your own assumptions."
“Okay.” Richard shrugged. “It seems she really is different. Sifas, you rarely discourage me… So, what do you suggest I do?”
Siphas fell silent upon hearing this.
He really wanted to tell his boss not to overthink it, that the other person had no interest in him at all.
Let's not end up not being able to catch up with the person and ruining the cooperation.
“Sifas?” Richard turned around, his eyes questioning.
Sifas sighed, “I’ve heard that people from the East are very reserved in expressing their feelings. If you directly ask her to date you, she might be unhappy. She doesn’t like people who are ‘presumptuous’.”
"Excuse my bluntness, sir, you would be better off focusing on your work now, otherwise Duke Leroix will not continue the bet, but will send someone to kidnap you back to the castle."
The moment the Duke was mentioned, Richard instantly lost all interest in flirting.
"Okay, you're right, work is more important."
“However, Aphrodite is currently without a spouse, so I still have a chance.”
There will be other opportunities in the future.
Sifas breathed a sigh of relief.
The two spoke softly, and no one overheard them along the way.
Otherwise, rumors will start circulating before the show even airs.
In the VIP room, Lu Wantang and Chang Yun also talked about Richard.
The latter's assessment of him was simply: "frivolous."
Lu Wantang asked curiously, "Brother Yun, you haven't met him before?"
Chang Yun hummed in agreement. "I've been handling all the work with Sifas. I've only seen some information and news about him."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wantang became even more curious:
"Brother Yun rarely makes negative comments about people he's only met once, so why would he say Richard is frivolous?"
Instead of answering, Chang Yun asked, "You have a very good impression of him?"
What seemed like a casual question actually made Chang Yun tense up, much like a cat with its fur standing on end, ready to pounce.
Lu Wantang's gaze fell on the stage not far away, but she didn't notice him. She assumed Chang Yun was just chatting with her, so she nodded without hesitation.
"Yes."
"He doesn't seem frivolous."
"Perhaps it's a unique characteristic of the Western Zhou people that makes Brother Yun think that way?"
Chang Yun responded with an "oh," and said expressionlessly, "It could also be a case of preconceived notions."
"It is said that Mr. Richard's girlfriend is disposable. He was involved in all sorts of scandals as soon as he was confirmed as the new director of 'West Continent Voice'."
Lu Wantang nodded understandingly: "No wonder Brother Yun said he was frivolous."
"But that has nothing to do with me. We are just business partners. As long as he is reliable in his career, that's all that matters."
"Moreover, with so many scandals, he was still able to be parachuted in as the director of a hit show... which means he has a strong background, so this is a good thing for us, isn't it?"
Chang Yun: “…”
Is he just too 'love-obsessed'?
Every time the topic of romance comes up, Lu Wantang manages to steer it back to work?!
However, this also proves that Lu Wantang had no other feelings for Richard.
Chang Yun immediately relaxed.
Her true feelings blurted out: "I thought you had a good impression of him and were thinking about... developing a relationship with him."
Lu Wantang glanced sideways, her face clearly showing surprise.
"Brother Yun is overthinking things."
"I just think his eyes are beautiful, like emeralds."
That's why I took a few more glances.
Chang Yun felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders.
“It really is just like jade.” He agreed absentmindedly. “I thought you preferred gemstones… I’ll have my assistant prepare more jade jewelry later.”
Instead of looking into other people's eyes, look directly at large, beautiful pieces of jade!
Lu Wantang nodded slightly, offering no objection.
She also has a personal assistant.
However, Lu Wantang has never been comfortable with people she doesn't know well following her around, so her personal assistant is only responsible for some styling-related matters, while Chang Yun arranges everything else.
As the two were talking, there was a knock on the door.
When Chang Yun opened the door, he found that it was Chen Yubai, his agent, and two assistants who had come in.
"Mr. Lu, Assistant Chang, good evening."
The four greeted each other in turn.
Lu Wantang raised an eyebrow: "How did you end up here?"
Chen Yubai scratched his head and laughed, "When I said I saw President Lu and Assistant Chang earlier, Sister Liang thought I was seeing things. But I thought that since I saw them, I should come and say hello. If I really mistook them for someone else, I can apologize later."
“Then your eyesight is good,” Chang Yun said. “President Lu also said he wouldn’t tell you about our arrival, so as not to put too much pressure on you.”
Chen Yubai replied instantly: "Pressure is the best motivator! Don't worry, President Lu, I will definitely do my best!"
Before Lu Wantang could respond, Chang Yun clicked his tongue:
"You're quite good at taking advantage of people's kindness. President Lu didn't come here specifically to see you; it was mainly the director who invited him."
"It's fine, it's okay if you bring it along."
"Looks like you're very confident?"
"I have a lot of confidence in Teacher Zigui's creative abilities."
Chen Yubai spoke earnestly, without a trace of flattery.
Seeing him staring straight at her, Lu Wantang said calmly, "Singing ability is very important. This is not a song creation program."
“I understand.” Chen Yubai nodded solemnly.
Lu Wantang looked up and asked, "Did you all go to rehearse just now? Do you know the new competition rules?"
Chen Yubai shook his head: "It's mainly for the host to rehearse the general process. None of us singers have gone on stage yet. The competition rules should be announced after the broadcast starts."
Chang Yun frowned: "They're really not worried about accidents happening midway through the show."
They didn't even explain the rules beforehand.
"It has its pros and cons," Lu Wantang commented.
Chen Yubai, who was standing to the side, wanted to chat a little more, but was pulled away by his agent.
