NOVPUBHearing Li Xuan say that, Zhu Hong couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
Her relationship with Wu Bin wasn’t even good, how could she help him land Wu Bin?
However, Zhu Hong also knew the current value of Wu Bin and what it meant to Li Xuan.
So, Zhu Hong just nodded and said, "I’ll try my best."
When Wu Bin finished singing "Jincheng" on stage, the whole venue erupted.
Everyone in the audience shouted Wu Bin’s name loudly, asking for another song.
Wu Bin only went on stage as a favor to Xu Wenyao, singing just one song was already quite nice, how could he possibly sing another?
Wu Bin waved to the audience below to show his gratitude, then stepped down from the stage.
The moment Wu Bin arrived backstage, the staff and other students preparing for their performances all looked at Wu Bin with strange expressions.
"What’s the matter, is there something on my face?"
Wu Bin asked, looking puzzled.
Lin Nan looked at Wu Bin with a slightly blushing face and said, "I didn’t expect the boss to be able to sing, so at our company gatherings, you’ll also have to perform a piece."
Wu Bin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
So the company, which had only been operating for a few days, was already thinking about holding gatherings, huh.
However, since the employees had a request, Wu Bin wouldn’t dampen their spirits, of course.
Wu Bin readily agreed, "Okay, as long as everyone’s performance is good, I can sing another song I wrote."
At this moment, Wu Bin had no shame.
After all, these songs had not yet been written in this world, so it wasn’t too much to sing them himself, right?
After the performance, Wu Bin didn’t go back to the hall.
Because of his one song, all the students in the venue were driven into an extremely frenzied state.
Wu Bin asked He Bingbing to bring Zhu Ling out of the hall, and under Zhu Ling’s insistent request, Wu Bin could only take her out for dinner.
Who knew that just as Wu Bin had not walked far, a car stopped in front of the three of them.
Li Xuan and Zhu Hong got out of the car, very enthusiastically.
"Student Wu Bin, going to have dinner?"
Wu Bin nodded.
Li Xuan warmly invited, "We’re just about to have dinner too, come join us, this time we’re going for seafood."
Wu Bin hastily waved his hands to refuse.
"Forget it, we’re just going to have a simple meal, Zhu Mansion is too far."
Li Xuan was taken aback.
Zhu Mansion was not a place just anyone could choose to go to.
Others chased after it eagerly, yet Wu Bin was actually declining voluntarily?
Li Xuan quickly explained, "We’re not going to Zhu Mansion this time, we’ll just randomly pick a seafood restaurant nearby, see if you’re interested."
Before Wu Bin could speak, Zhu Ling eagerly raised her hand on the side.
"Me me me! I want to eat seafood! I love seafood!"
Li Xuan had already anticipated Zhu Ling’s reaction.
At that moment, seeing Zhu Ling volunteer to eat seafood, Li Xuan made a gesture inviting her to get into the car.
Zhu Ling didn’t care much about the details; in fact, she didn’t even know what seafood was.
But as long as it was food, she was interested.
Once Zhu Ling was in the car, Wu Bin and He Bingbing naturally had to follow.
When the netizens in the live stream saw Li Xuan actually inviting Wu Bin and the others to a meal, they all got excited.
"It looks like my brother Wu is really on the fast track to success now, isn’t it? This is already the second time he’s been invited to dine, right?"
"This is the second time he’s been invited for a meal, but it’s actually their third encounter. The last time there was an invitation to dine, they didn’t allow live streaming, so who knows what they talked about."
"That agent is clever and shrewd; he must have seen Brother Wu’s song earlier and thought it was really good, so he wanted to invite Brother Wu to sign a contract. But that’s a good thing. If Brother Wu signs and debuts later, I’m going to be his first fan!"
"From crisp-skinned college student to campus singer, huh? Damn, that story sounds so inspirational."
This time, just like Li Xuan said, they found a nearby seafood restaurant.
But even so, the seafood restaurant they chose was private and membership-based.
On reflection, it seemed quite normal, especially since stars like Zhu Hong, when dining out, faced significant risks, and it would be impossible to have a peaceful meal without opting for a private membership restaurant. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Standing at the entrance of the seafood restaurant, He Bingbing couldn’t help but sigh.
"I’ve been here before. I remember the first time I got my salary, I wanted to go in to celebrate and treat myself. But the waiter told me it’s a private club’s seafood restaurant and it’s not open to non-members."
Wu Bin asked puzzlemently from the side, "Why didn’t you just sign up for a membership then?"
He Bingbing shook her head with a wry smile.
"Membership costs a lot of money, and I didn’t have that much, so I’ve never gone in to eat."
Li Xuan explained from the side, "The entry condition here is a recommendation from an existing member, with a membership fee of 150,000."
"This 150,000 is an annual fee that needs to be paid every year, and if you fail to pay it one year, you’re automatically considered to have withdrawn from the club."
"If you withdraw more than three times automatically, you’re permanently barred from rejoining. If your membership is revoked due to a violation of the membership terms, you can also never rejoin."
Hearing Li Xuan say this, Wu Bin was somewhat shocked.
"Is it really that strict?"
Though he’d lived two lifetimes, Wu Bin rarely visited such high-end places.
A 150,000 membership fee?
To Wu Bin, this seemed no different from throwing money into the water.
It was just for a meal, but you had to pay a 150,000 membership fee upfront; he truly didn’t understand the world of the wealthy.
Not to mention, after becoming a member, you still had to follow all sorts of rules. Wasn’t this just paying to make life difficult for yourself?
As if knowing what Wu Bin was thinking at the moment, Li Xuan continued to explain, "You know, with our status, showing up in public places could potentially cause unnecessary trouble. This isn’t about us flaunting wealth or anything, we’re just trying to avoid hassles, which is why we choose to do this."
"You can think of the membership fee we pay as like a security fee, ensuring that we have a place where we can dine in peace. Does that make it a bit easier to understand?"
After hearing Li Xuan say this, Wu Bin couldn’t help but think that being a celebrity wasn’t easy.
Public figures are said to have no privacy, something he couldn’t understand before, but now Wu Bin was truly getting a sense of it.
To eat a meal in peace, one had to first pay 150,000, so how could they say it’s easier to earn money when you’re rich?
"So, what are these so-called membership terms about?"
The waiter had just given each of them a membership handbook filled with dozens of terms.
Li Xuan said with a smile, "Mainly, they are clauses to protect privacy. You just need to pay attention to a few things, and you’ll be fine."
