Chapter 69 Unexpected

Never would he have imagined it.

Lu Xuan ultimately survived.

When faced with the ultimate dark cuisine, the best solution...

Is to let the chef have the first bite!

"This dish is so 'beautiful,' it must have taken you a lot of effort, right?"

"So, please, you must have the first bite!"

Lu Xuan looked pious and pleaded with his hands clasped together.

Su Yao wanted to be polite.

This was specially prepared for Lu Xuan.

Teacher Lu had gained weight recently, and she heard that eating fish wouldn't make you fat.

Lu Xuan was so moved he almost cried, "I'm not worthy!"

"You have to take the first bite, or my conscience will hurt!"

"Okay~"

Seeing Lu Xuan being so humble, Su Yao smiled and took the first bite.

And then...

There was no then.

The next day, Lu Xuan heard from Aunt Liu that...

Su Yao seemed to have a nightmare last night!

She dreamt of a fish that went 'Aba Aba'....

This made Lu Xuan feel incredibly fortunate.

Thank goodness he was so damn smart!

Otherwise, he would have been the one going 'Aba Aba.'

Lu Xuan didn't see Su Yao come out of her room until after breakfast.

He figured the kid was probably traumatized.

She would probably recover after missing a few meals.

So Lu Xuan wasn't too worried.

After telling Aunt Liu, he went out.

Apocalypse Headquarters.

When Lu Xuan arrived, he found that there was one more person besides Li Yaowen.

He looked refined and cultured, clearly from a scholarly family!

"Teacher Lu!"

As soon as he saw Lu Xuan, the man stood up enthusiastically and extended his hand.

"And this is?"

Lu Xuan looked at Li Yaowen in confusion.

Li Yaowen introduced him: "This is Gu Yunli from Central Television."

"He's the one who asked me to call you here."

Hearing that he was from Central Television, Lu Xuan's expression became more serious.

"Hello, Mr. Gu."

After shaking hands, Lu Xuan sat down opposite Gu Yunli.

Then he noticed...

The way Gu Yunli looked at him seemed a little too enthusiastic?

Just as Lu Xuan was wondering, Gu Yunli handed him a piece of paper.

"Teacher Lu, did you write this song?"

Lu Xuan looked down.

It was the musical score for "Gu Yong Zhe" (The Brave One).

"Yes, I wrote it."

Seeing Lu Xuan admit it, the smile on Gu Yunli's face grew even wider.

"May I ask, what was Teacher Lu's original intention in creating this song?"

"Original intention?"

"Mainly to promote my new movie."

Lu Xuan repeated his source of inspiration.

"New movie?"

"Yes, the movie is called *Dying to Survive*."

Guessing that the movie would be released soon, Lu Xuan didn't hold back.

He briefly described the plot of the movie.

Combining it with the information he had just searched, Gu Yunli nodded knowingly.

"It seems that the theme of this movie is reality-based."

"Using 'The Brave One' to promote it is indeed quite suitable."

Lu Xuan became increasingly puzzled.

What exactly did this person mean?

Noticing Lu Xuan's strange gaze, Gu Yunli smiled apologetically.

"Sorry, Teacher Lu, I actually came here this time to ask for a favor."

"I would like to invite you to record one of my programs."

"The program is called *Tribute to the Most Lovable People*."

Then, Gu Yunli explained the program.

Including his original intention and purpose in organizing this program.

After listening, Lu Xuan understood what was going on.

It turned out that Gu Yunli had taken a fancy to the song "The Brave One."

He wanted to use it as the finale song for the program!

This was indeed good news.

But Lu Xuan was a little embarrassed: "However, I have already given this song to President Li."

"Mr. Gu should ask President Li for his opinion."

"I asked."

Gu Yunli said, "But President Li insisted on letting me ask you first."

"He said that you wrote this song."

"Whether or not it can be used for the program needs to be decided by you."

Hearing this, Lu Xuan looked at Li Yaowen.

Logically speaking, Lu Xuan had already given this song to Li Yaowen.

As a bargaining chip in exchange for Apocalypse's promotion.

The song's destination was no longer Lu Xuan's concern.

But it was clear that Li Yaowen had completely regarded Lu Xuan as one of his own.

He was giving him enough respect!

Otherwise, Li Yaowen could decide whether to participate in the program himself.

There was no need to call Lu Xuan over at all!

A warm current surged in Lu Xuan's heart.

"Brother Li, this..."

Li Yaowen smiled at him without saying a word.

He still understood the principle of long-term relationships.

"The Brave One" was good.

But who could guarantee that Lu Xuan wouldn't create even better songs than "The Brave One" in the future?

So, Lu Xuan came.

From his eyes, Li Yaowen understood.

His goal had also been achieved.

"Teacher Lu, what do you think?"

Gu Yunli asked again.

Lu Xuan looked at him: "If I agree, will I need to record and sing it myself?"

Gu Yunli nodded.

"Because Teacher Lu is the creator of the song, it would be best if you sang it yourself."

"Of course, if that's not possible, I can also ask someone else to sing it."

Lu Xuan thought for a moment and shook his head.

"No need, I'll do it myself."

"However, I have a small request."

"Tell me."

Gu Yunli signaled Lu Xuan to speak directly.

"I would like the program team to include the name of my new movie when introducing this song."

"Just say that 'The Brave One' is the promotional song for *Dying to Survive*."

"Can Mr. Gu accept this?"

Lu Xuan's abacus was working overtime!

There was no better promotional platform than Central Television!

If successful, the promotion of *Dying to Survive* would be a huge leap forward!

"This..."

Gu Yunli frowned and pondered.

Logically speaking, advertising would violate the station's regulations.

However, considering the value of "The Brave One" and the cinematic concept of *Dying to Survive*.

Gu Yunli felt it was worth a try!

"I can try to fight for it, but whether it will succeed depends on the higher-ups."

"If it doesn't work, I can't do anything about it either."

"You know..."

"It's okay, I understand."

Lu Xuan accepted it gracefully.

He knew the importance of Central Television.

Even if Gu Yunli directly rejected him, he would have accepted it.

He was already very satisfied that he was willing to ask.

Everyone was happy.

"Then Teacher Lu, please prepare, I will notify you in advance when it's time to record."

Gu Yunli exchanged contact information with Lu Xuan.

Then he left first.

He still had many things to do at the station.

After seeing Gu Yunli off, only Li Yaowen and Lu Xuan were left in the office.

Facing this older brother who had helped him so many times, Lu Xuan didn't know what to do.

Currently, on Apocalypse's various software platforms.

Promotional slogans for *Dying to Survive* had already appeared.

Although it wasn't in the top spot, it was enough.

The promotional effect was exceptionally good!

Li Yaowen smiled and said, "How about it? Shall we talk about future cooperation?"

"Okay!"

You treat me like a national scholar, and I will repay you like a national scholar.

In the subsequent discussions, the two had a very pleasant conversation!

Lu Xuan's promise was enough to shut up the high-level executives.

And what Li Yaowen gave Lu Xuan also satisfied Lu Xuan very much.

The relationship between the two became increasingly close.

After discussing the cooperation, Li Yaowen suggested.

"Why don't we go to Star Drunk first and record 'The Brave One'?"

He couldn't wait to hear Lu Xuan sing this song.

Lu Xuan naturally wouldn't refuse: "Let's go!"

The two walked out with their arms around each other's shoulders.

Completely ignoring the secretary's strange gaze.

Secretary: Am I...out of favor?

Secretary: Wuwuwu!
