Chapter 67
The first round of the lucky draw ended, followed by stage performances.
Backstage at this time, popular star Mu Yinger was preparing. Her manager was giving her instructions, "Remember to give a good performance later? If you perform well, you might get the Song Hua endorsement next year."
Mu Yinger: "I prefer the Shan Yu endorsement."
Her manager: "You really dream big, don't you? Many top stars are fighting for that one. Song Hua isn't bad either."
Mu Yinger: "I mainly like the look of the Shan Yu group's boss."
Manager: "..."
Manager: "The Song Hua boss isn't bad either. When you go on stage to sing later, remember to look at the most handsome man at the table right in the front and center, and smile at him, okay?"
Mu Yinger: "Got it, got it."
Soon, the stage program ended, and the host came on stage: "...If you ask what the hottest song is recently, it has to be 'Lingering Turn' sung by Yinger. I heard that many people at Song Hua really like this song, right? We've invited Yinger to come and sing it for everyone. Let's welcome her!"
"Ahhh!"
"Woah!"
"Yinger!"
"Yinger!"
Song Luokui didn't follow entertainment news much, but she had heard of this singer. She looked up at the stage, where a beautiful woman walked on, waving at everyone. "Hello everyone, I'm Yinger. Thank you for having me here to sing for you today. Here's 'Lingering Turn' for you!"
A beautiful and melodious voice came from her mouth, and Song Luokui listened and applauded. It was really good.
As Mu Yinger sang on stage, she remembered her manager's words and looked towards the front table, then smiled.
However, when she looked over, she saw Song Luokui's face. Song Luokui smiled and nodded at her, waving her hand.
Mu Yinger: ...Damn! Who is she? How can she be so pretty and sit next to the Song Hua boss? Is she from another company here to compete with me?
Mu Yinger's surprise only lasted a moment, and she quickly regained her smiling expression. The four-minute song ended quickly, and she went off stage after wishing everyone an early Happy New Year.
After going off stage, Mu Yinger immediately found her manager. "I saw a very beautiful girl sitting next to the Song Hua boss. Is she from another company invited here?"
The manager frowned. "I don't think so. I didn't hear about that. For this year-end party, I only knew that Song Hua invited you, the SINGboys dance crew, and Liu Zihua, all males. You're the only female. Could she be from Song Hua? Don't worry, I'll go find out."
"Okay."
The manager peeked through the curtain towards the front center table and immediately saw the Song siblings. She had seen the Song boss before, but since he was the boss, she looked directly at Song Luokui. One look and she was stunned by her beauty.
That face, that nose - if she entered the entertainment industry, her face alone could make her an instant hit.
As soon as the host came down, the manager quickly pulled him aside and asked, "Excuse me, may I ask who the beautiful woman next to Mr. Song is? It's mainly because she's so pretty that my professional instincts kicked in. Haha."
The host knew she was Mu Yinger's manager. "That's our boss's sister. Pretty, right? We all think our boss's sister is prettier than anyone in the entertainment industry, but that's just our aesthetics talking."
Manager: "Mr. Song's sister? So she's a wealthy heiress? I wonder if she's interested in joining the entertainment industry?"
Host: "She probably isn't interested." He had heard that the receptionist asked before, and Mr. Song's sister said she wasn't interested.
The manager was disappointed but relieved that she wasn't there to compete with Mu Yinger for endorsements. "Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Meanwhile, Song Luokui was watching the show when her phone vibrated. It was a message from Chi Yu: "Our company's year-end party is upstairs. Want to come take a look?"
Song Luokui immediately refused, "No." She didn't have the guts to go meet her brother's archenemy.
Chi Yu tried enticing her: "Really not coming? We have Liu Xi, Zhao Huaqian, Chen You, and a performance by Dreamland here."
Song Luokui: "Hmph, no, we have celebrity performances here too."
"Okay. When will you be done?"
Song Luokui: "Why?"
Chi Yu: "To send you home."
Song Luokui: "Are you looking to die? I won't stop you, but I don't want to die."
Chi Yu laughed. "I won't let you die. If your brother tries to hit you, I'll protect you."
Song Luokui: "My brother wouldn't hit me."
Chi Yu: "Okay then."
"What are you doing?" Song Luosheng suddenly looked over, startling Song Luokui into quickly putting away her phone. "Nothing, just chatting with my sisters. I should've brought them too if I knew."
Song Luosheng: "You can bring them next year."
"Okay."
At this time, the second round of the lucky draw started for Song Hua's phones, tablets, and computers.
This time, Lin Xingyan and Zhou Yuan went up to draw. There were twenty second prizes in total.
Zhou Yuan drew first: "Okay, the first lucky number is 001888. Lucky number 001888, who could it be?"
Song Luokui looked at the 001888 number in her hand, stood up abruptly, nearly knocking over the cup in front of her. Song Luosheng next to her quickly steadied it. "What's wrong?"
Song Luokui: "I won!"
Song Luosheng: ???
Song Luokui waved at Zhou Yuan. "It's me!"
Zhou Yuan was looking behind him because no one was coming up, but when he saw it was his little Kuikui sister, he blurted out, "Ah, the lucky winner is our Kuikui sister. Please welcome Kuikui sister on stage."
Song Luokui happily went up, and Zhou Yuan brought her to the center, handing her the microphone. "Our Kuikui sister is really lucky today. Anything you'd like to say?"
Song Luokui shyly played with her hair. "If I take it, does that mean there's one fewer prize? How about this - can we draw one more winner? I'll provide the prize since I didn't bring anything. I can give 20,000 yuan directly. Is that okay?"
As soon as she said it, everyone below cheered and applauded. Someone even shouted "Yes!" 20,000 yuan was much more valuable than the prizes, which were all worth less than 10,000 yuan.
Zhou Yuan: "I can't make that decision myself. Let's ask our boss if he agrees."
Below, someone immediately handed the microphone to Song Luosheng. Of course he agreed. "Agreed. I'll add another 20,000!"
Zhou Yuan: "Did you all hear that? The boss is adding another 20,000 prize. Let's see who will get the boss and Kuikui sister's 20,000 yuan tonight."
Everyone below was excited: "We heard!"
Zhou Yuan: "Okay then, why don't Kuikui sister and the boss draw these two prizes themselves? Everyone agree?"
"Yes!"
Song Luosheng immediately went up on stage. Someone brought over a lucky draw box to them. Song Luosheng let Song Luokui draw first. She reached in, felt around, and pulled out a number, reading it aloud: "Lucky number 257771."
Zhou Yuan: "Okay, lucky number 257771, which lucky winner is it? Come up quickly!"
"Ahh! It's me! It's me!" A woman in the audience quickly ran up.
