Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 385 Liu Yimin's Daughter Wants to Join the Girls Group

"What's the matter?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"I can't say a word or two, so you come and talk."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Yu Dongqing changed her clothes and drove straight to Sanlitun. When she arrived at Shili Peach Blossom Tavern, she parked the car on the side of the street and did not go in. Instead, she came to the backyard through the small door on the side, and directly entered the living room on the north side.

"Uncle, you are here." A girl greeted him.

It is Liu Zhiqi, the daughter of Liu Yimin.

Liu Zhiqi's name is still Liu Yimin's "Guofeng·Yongfeng·Sangzhong" according to the Book of Poems, "If you expect me to be in Sangzhong, if you want me to go to the palace, send me to be above Qi."

The original meaning of "Qi" refers to Qishui, and it is extended to be quiet, soft and charming.

This year, the girl entered the first year of high school and will immediately be promoted to the second year. Although Liu Yimin is tall and thick, and dark and not sensual, but his daughter is just like the name, she is slim and beautiful, she likes to sing and dance, and perfectly inherits Liu Yimin's advantages in this area.

Seeing the girl calling her, Yu Dongqing smiled and asked, "Where's your father?"

"He's in the tavern, I'll fetch him."

Within a few minutes, Liu Yimin followed his daughter to the living room.

The girl was very sensible, and was busy pouring water for Yu Dongqing to make tea.

"Xiao Qi, you go to do your homework, and I'll talk to your Uncle Yu about something." Liu Yimin said.

Liu Zhiqi seemed a little reluctant to leave, but he had no choice but to leave after hearing what his father said.

After the girl returned to his room, Liu Yimin said to Yu Dongqing: "Dongqing, I came here to ask you to help me figure it out. Xiaoqi wants to join a girl group."

"Women's team?"

"Yes!" Liu Yimin told what happened.

It turns out that Xiaoqi is good at singing and dancing. Not long ago, several girls from the school represented the school in the Chaoyangqu Middle School Student Art Festival and won the No.1 song and dance competition. Liu Zhiqi, who performed outstandingly, was discovered by scouts and invited her to join a newly formed girl group H. Dgirls.

"Which company formed the H.Dgirls girl group?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"Jinye Records."

Yu Dongqing laughed when she heard that.

"Wu Lan's company? Now Jinye Records is also following the trend?"

Jinye Records is Yu Dongqing's old company, and Wu Lan is the company's music director and his junior, so he was quite surprised to hear the news.

"That's right. I heard that it was Wu Lan who took the lead." Liu Yimin continued, "Wu Lan knew that Xiao Qi was my daughter, so she called me specifically to tell me about it. I hope I can agree."

"It seems that you don't want Xiao Qi to participate, do you?" Yu Dongqing saw what he meant.

Liu Yimin nodded.

"Holly, you also know that the entertainment industry is quite chaotic, how dare I let Xiaoqi jump into this pit of fire? Especially girl groups, I really don't like it!"

Yu Dongqing can understand.

Liu Yimin also likes music, but it's folk songs and other more literary things, and he doesn't like those popular ones.

Moreover, in the current society, especially parents, the girl group is not recognized very much, and it belongs to the type of "not doing business properly". What's more, Liu Yimin's family conditions are good now, and he doesn't want his daughter to go this way.

"To be honest, it doesn't matter if Xiao Qi doesn't get into a good university. Just find a job. I'm just a baby girl, and I can't afford to support her. If I can't come to the tavern, I'll leave it to her to run it— — isn’t it about music, too?”

"Dad, run a tavern and sing folk songs, that's your ideal but not mine!" Suddenly a girl's voice sounded outside the door. It turned out that Xiao Qi hadn't left and was eavesdropping outside.

The girl walked in from the door and looked at her father: "I don't like it."

Before Liu Yimin could speak, Liu Zhiqi looked at Yu Dongqing again: "Uncle Yu, I heard that Tongtong is very good at playing the piano. If Tongtong wants to be a pianist in the future, do you agree?"

"If she wants, I have no objection." Yu Dongqing smiled.

"Look, Uncle Yu is so enlightened! Dad, why are you so stubborn?!"

"Can participating in a women's group be the same as playing the piano?!" Liu Yimin asked angrily.

"Why is it different? It's all art! Is joining a women's group inferior?!" Liu Zhiqi raised his voice.

"You?!" Liu Yimin was so angry that he raised his palm!
"Go ahead! Even if you beat me to death, I want to join the women's team!" The girl looked stubborn.

Seeing that the father and daughter were about to fall out, Yu Dongqing quickly pulled Liu Zhiqi aside, and said to Liu Yimin, "Calm down, how about it, how about I talk to Xiaoqi?"

"Okay, you can persuade her for me!" After Liu Yimin finished speaking, he rushed out of the living room angrily, leaving only Yu Dongqing and Liu Zhiqi behind.

"Sit down." Yu Dongqing greeted.The girl sat neatly on the sofa opposite him.

Yu Dongqing thought for a while and said, "Xiao Qi, why did you join the girl group?"

"Because I like it!" Liu Zhiqi replied very simply: "I have loved singing and dancing since I was a child, and I like performing on stage. I think joining a girl group can bring me happiness!"

"However, you also know that the girls in the women's team look glamorous on the surface, but in fact they are very competitive, the training is also very hard, and the elimination rate in this industry is also very high. Besides, the social recognition is not high. Can you understand me? Dad's hard work?" Yu Dongqing asked back.

"But, uncle, I heard from my father that when you were in a band and sang folk songs in college, you were accused of not doing your job properly, but didn't you persist? As for what you said about suffering, I can accept it!"

Ah?
Yu Dongqing looked at Liu Zhiqi, this girl was also eloquent.

"Uncle Yu, just try to persuade my father. Let me try it. If I'm really not suitable for this dinner in the future, I'll listen to him!"

This one
Yu Dongqing pondered for a while.

"Okay, I'll try."

Yu Dongqing didn't expect that she would be persuaded by this girl.

Yu Dongqing came to the bar by herself and saw Liu Yimin in a daze at the bar.

"Holly, how did your talk with Xiao Qi go?" Liu Yimin asked hastily.

Yu Dongqing originally recounted the conversation just now, but Liu Yimin remained silent.

"What does sister-in-law mean about this?" Yu Dongqing asked again.

"She has no idea, just listen to me."

Oh.
Yu Dongqing thought for a while and said, "Yimin, you are actually worried about two things. One is that your child will suffer, and the other is that the mess in the entertainment circle is that your daughter will be hurt."

"Yes, especially the second point, I'm just such a precious daughter, what should I do if something happens to me?"

"I can understand, why don't you suffer? As long as the child is willing! As for the second point, it is indeed a problem, but it was formed by Jinye Records, and Wu Lan personally caught it. I think safety is guaranteed."

"You mean you can let Xiao Qi try?" Liu Yimin asked
"I think it's okay. Of course, the decision is in your hands, but no matter what, don't be impulsive. Children today are not as stubborn as we were back then, and they have strong self-esteem."

"I know I'll think about it."
