SED Chapter 23: Oh No, Yueyue is Out of School


"Mr. Lang, I agree to this contract!"


Having someone willing to help him set up a studio, Liu Zixia naturally agreed, especially since the 20% revenue share was only from the studio's earnings. Some things didn't need to go through the studio at all.


"Great!"


Lang Wenxing clapped his hands and said, "Alright, I'll go back now and have the company's legal team review the contract. Mr. Liu, you should also find a law firm and hire a lawyer. Come to the president's office at Wenxing Entertainment Building tomorrow morning to meet me."


"Hey, Old Lang, why are you in such a hurry?" Zhang Minghao pulled Lang Wenxing, who was about to leave, "Now that the deal is settled, isn't it right to have a couple of drinks to celebrate?"


"Right, right, I was too eager." Lang Wenxing patted his forehead, "Mr. Liu..."


"President Lang, there's no need to call me Mr. Liu." Liu Zixia smiled, "From now on, I'll call you Brother Xing, and you can call me Zixia, how about that?"


Having nearly finalized the contract and knowing they would be working together with Wenxing Entertainment in the future, and since Lang Wenxing was going to be his agent, there was no need to be overly formal.


"Alright!" Lang Wenxing was delighted, having secured a promising new talent. He had every reason to be happy!


"Since we're all brothers now, let's switch from tea to wine today!" Zhang Minghao was good at livening up the atmosphere.


And so, the meal transitioned from initial awkwardness to a growing familiarity, with Lang Wenxing frequently toasting Liu Zixia.


It was as if they had planned it, with Zhang Minghao occasionally joining in, both trying to get Liu Zixia to drink more.


But Liu Zixia had his own tactics. Not wanting to risk his vocal cords by drinking too much hard liquor, he insisted on drinking beer while letting them have the stronger stuff. After all, the contract stated that he would debut as a singer, and drinking too much could harm his voice, leaving Lang Wenxing with no place to cry if that happened!


This rogue-like tactic annoyed Zhang Minghao and Lang Wenxing, but they had no choice but to let Liu Zixia drink more beer.


...


Back home from the Tree Restaurant, Liu Zixia collapsed on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep.


He slept until almost five in the afternoon.


"Uh, what time is it?" Rubbing his eyes, Liu Zixia checked his phone, and then he jumped up, "Oh no, it's already past five... Yueyue!"


Without even washing his face, Liu Zixia rushed to the community gate and took a taxi to Sunflower Kindergarten.


Normally, it took about ten minutes to drive from Jialin Community to Sunflower Kindergarten, but it was rush hour, and the traffic was heavy. The taxi took a full half hour to reach the kindergarten.


It was already 5:30 PM. The kindergarten's dismissal time was 5:00 PM, and parents usually picked up their children shortly after. The once bustling kindergarten was now almost empty.


Entering the kindergarten, Liu Zixia immediately saw Yueyue sitting at the entrance of the waiting room.


Yueyue was holding a rabbit toy, looking expectantly towards the entrance.


Seeing Yueyue's lonely figure, Liu Zixia felt a pang of guilt. He slapped himself hard and then called out loudly, "Yueyue!"


"Huh? Daddy!"


Yueyue, who had just turned her head, heard someone calling her name and looked up.


When she saw Liu Zixia walking towards her, she cheered and ran towards him, her small arms outstretched.


Liu Zixia quickly took a few steps forward, bent down, and scooped Yueyue into his arms.


"Daddy!" Snuggling into Liu Zixia's embrace, Yueyue's face showed a satisfied smile.


"Yes!"


Liu Zixia rubbed his chin against Yueyue's hair and said, "Yueyue, I'm sorry. Daddy overslept this afternoon. I promise this won't happen again."


"Okay!" Yueyue nodded, her voice soft like a spring breeze.


"Mr. Liu."


Yueyue's teacher also approached. Her name was Wang Ying, and she was a typical Jiangnan beauty with a delicate face and petite figure.


"Thank you, Teacher Wang, for staying with Yueyue. I'm sorry for the trouble." Liu Zixia thanked her.


In the morning, Wang Ying had interacted with Liu Zixia and had a good impression of this sunny young man. But now, smelling the alcohol on Liu Zixia, she couldn't help but frown.


"Mr. Liu, we finish at five. Please remember the time next time," Wang Ying said seriously. "And Yueyue is growing. She shouldn't be around alcohol or smoke."


Great, now she thinks I'm a drunkard! 


Liu Zixia forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, Teacher Wang. There are no such things at home."


"That's good."


Wang Ying's expression softened, and she continued, "By the way, when school ended, Lang Menghan's father wanted to take Yueyue home. Do you know him?"


"Daddy, Hanhan is my friend!" Yueyue looked up from Liu Zixia's embrace. "She invited me to her house to play!"


Seeing Yueyue, Liu Zixia was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Is Lang Menghan's father named Lang Wenxing?"


"We know each other. He's my boss." Seeing Wang Ying nod, Liu Zixia replied, "Teacher Wang, I was about to tell you. In the future, besides me, Lang Menghan's father will also be responsible for picking up Yueyue."


"Daddy, don't you want me anymore?"


As soon as Liu Zixia finished speaking, Yueyue grabbed his clothes, looking at him with tearful eyes, "I won't be friends with Lang Menghan anymore. Please don't abandon me!"


Liu Zixia chuckled and pinched her cheek, "I didn't say I don't want you. It's just that I will be working at Lang Menghan's father's company. From now on, you'll go to and from school with Lang Menghan, okay?"


"Can I still go home with you?" Yueyue asked nervously.


"Where else would you go if not home with me?" Liu Zixia laughed. "How could Daddy bear to not let you come home?"


Pop!


Yueyue kissed Liu Zixia's cheek and nodded, "Daddy is the best!"


"Mr. Liu, you and your daughter have a great relationship." Watching the affectionate father and daughter, Wang Ying was envious. "So, if Mr. Lang wants to pick up Yueyue, it's fine?"


"Yes, his driver will bring Yueyue to me," Liu Zixia nodded. "Thank you for your trouble today, Teacher Wang. I won't keep you any longer. Yueyue, say goodbye to Teacher Wang!"


Yueyue politely waved, "Goodbye, Teacher!"


Wang Ying smiled and nodded, "Goodbye to you too!"

RAAS **Chapter 2: Talent Show**

 **Chapter 2: Talent Show** Today was the day Li Qing would make his comeback after a year of being sidelined. Through Han Han’s relentless efforts, the company finally relented and allowed Li Qing to participate in "Star of Music"! This meant that today was Li Qing’s first public appearance after being away from the entertainment industry for a whole year. Of course, it could also be his last… If Li Qing’s performance was as disappointing as it was a year ago, he would continue to be sidelined indefinitely until his contract with the company expired. However, this opportunity was more of a desperate measure than a real chance to boost his popularity. Unless he could stun the audience and create a significant impact, his comeback would be short-lived. Given his previous abilities, the likelihood of Li Qing astonishing everyone was slim to none. Moreover, one of the judges this time was Zhao Wendi, a member of the former Fire Boy duo. This was a setup; the company had no inten...

This is mtl  Ye Feng crossed over to a parallel world where games were scarce.
