After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 198 - 131: Are You Sure You Don’t Want to Choose Another Gift?
Beijing, 5:30 PM.
The largest dance studio at Lemon Entertainment.
Zhou Tang is rehearsing for his upcoming concert.
Even dressed in simple casual wear, without an enthusiastic audience, he puts in 100% effort when singing passionately, swinging his arms to the beat, exuding a "skr" vibe in every move.
His movements are on point and full of charm.
When the rap number ended, the manager and the dance teacher standing by applauded.
"Bro, have a drink." The assistant jogged over to him with a clean towel and a bottle of mineral water with the cap already open.
Zhou Tang took the water from the assistant, and gulped down half the bottle.
In the bright dance studio, sweat trickled down his face, his features distinct as if carved.
It was a chiseled face, exceptionally handsome.
"What time is it now?" After finishing the water and taking a few heavy breaths while wiping sweat, Zhou Tang asked the assistant.
"It’s 5:30, bro." His assistant, a young man with gray hair, dressed flamboyantly, slender, and with a pleasing appearance, is Zhou Tang’s cousin.
While Zhou Tang was wiping his sweat, the manager also came to his side, "Tangtang, your rehearsal training status has been good these past few days, keep it up."
"Got it, Sister Lin." Zhou Tang’s manager, Sister Lin, is a partner at Lemon Entertainment and is currently a very famous manager in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Her business skills are top-notch, best at packaging artists and boosting popularity, and she is highly respected by the artists in the company.
Currently, her business range is wide, she handles a lot of things every day, and yet she personally manages Zhou Tang, showing how much Lemon Entertainment values this popular male star.
Being valued is one thing.
The respect Zhou Tang has to give her is not lacking in the slightest.
"Then grab a bite to eat later, train for another three hours and go back to rest." Sister Lin suggested briskly.
"Sister Lin, I have dinner plans with a friend today, can I go back first?" Zhou Tang paused while holding the towel and politely requested.
The manager glanced at the dance teacher, and seeing the other nod, she smiled and said, "Alright, then go back early tonight, but remember not to drink, don’t stay out too late with friends, and make sure to go to bed by eleven." After speaking, she turned to Zhou Tang’s cousin, "Xiao Qian, follow your brother tonight and send me a photo by eleven."
The young man with gray hair nodded obediently, "Okay, Sister Lin, I will."
With such a serious expression, he was just short of taking out paper and pen to write a guarantee note for Sister Lin on the spot.
Sister Lin nodded in satisfaction, "I’ll wait for your message tonight." After speaking, she turned to Zhou Tang again, "Come to the company early tomorrow morning to make up for the three hours of training you missed tonight."
Zhou Tang was internally cursing but smiled, "Okay, Sister Lin, no problem."
After the manager and dance teacher left the dance studio.
Zhou Tang rolled his eyes dramatically, then lay down on the floor, taking deep breaths.
Assistant Xiao Qian quickly ran over and shut the dance studio door.
After closing the door, he exuded relaxation all over, and even his walk was relaxed as he slid over to Zhou Tang’s side, half-kneeling, "Bro, I’ve already had the seafood delivered to Brother Ming’s house, if there are no surprises, they’ve been cleaned and are ready for cooking."
"What about the tickets I wanted?"
"They are ready too."
"Alright then, let’s go now." Zhou Tang got up.
Xiao Qian obediently followed behind him, then the two directly took the elevator to the underground parking lot of Lemon Entertainment, heading towards a black Maybach nanny car.
In the nanny car, Zhou Tang’s exclusive driver was already waiting in the driver’s seat.
Once they got in, he immediately drove out of the underground parking lot.
In the car, Zhou Tang lay back playing on his phone, while Xiao Qian sat beside him and asked, "Bro, if you’re having dinner at Brother Ming’s house tonight, why did you ask me to prepare tickets? They don’t even watch your concert."
Zhou Tang, without stopping his scrolling, lazily said, "I never intended for those two bastards to watch, the tickets aren’t for them."
"Who are they for then?" Xiao Qian was curious.
"For Ming Chao’s family."
"..." Xiao Qian.
Seriously!
Bro, I don’t think anyone in Brother Ming’s house would go to your concert either.
Even if you prepared tickets that scalpers couldn’t get for a high price, I don’t think Director Ning or President Ming would care, okay?!
Are you sure you don’t want to change the gift for tonight when you’re going to Director Ning’s house for dinner?
...
The Ning family.
"When will Tangtang arrive?" Ming Jinxin asked Ming Chao and Zhao Sui, who were sitting on the sofa, as she came out of the kitchen.
"Aunt Ming, he messaged me twenty minutes ago saying he’s on the way. He should be here soon," Zhao Sui replied.
"Alright, I’ll have the workers cook the seafood," Ming Jinxin said with a smile. "The workers prepared a lot of seafood; in a while, you and Tangtang must eat more."
"No problem, Aunt Ming." Zhao Sui made an "OK" gesture with his hand.
Turning his head, he continued to watch the three siblings in front of him with enthusiasm.
Brother Ning Youyu and sister Ning Youguang each held a fork, eating from a plate of sliced apples in their arms.
Their older brother Ming Chao was sitting beside them, using a fruit knife on the granite coffee table, patiently peeling pomegranates.
The pomegranate in Ming Chao’s hand was large, round, and a rich red.
Zhao Sui estimated it weighed more than a pound.
Indeed, as an expert apple peeler, even the apple skin came off in one unbroken piece.
The pomegranate seeds peeled by Ming Chao were plump and fell into the fine white porcelain plate like craftsmen-polished, translucent red rubies.
Every time Zhao Sui came to the Ning family for a meal, Ming Chao would refresh his perception of this brother, which was quite interesting.
While watching with fascination, Zhao Sui couldn’t help but quickly grab a handful of pomegranate seeds from the plate in front of him and toss them into his mouth.
...
Ning Youyu, who was sharing apples with his sister, noticed his actions and immediately said displeasedly, "The pomegranate is for me and my sister."
The pomegranate, which was originally only eight out of ten in taste, became a perfect ten because of Ning Youyu’s protest, leading Zhao Sui to raise an eyebrow and say, "Who says so? Clearly, the pomegranate is mine."
Ning Youyu immediately became unhappy, glaring at him with his big round eyes.
Then, angrily turned his head to ask the one peeling the pomegranate, "Brother, is the pomegranate for me and sister?"
Ming Chao: "Yes."
Zhao Sui continued teasing the child, "I don’t care; if I eat the pomegranate, it’s mine."
After saying this, he reached out again, ready to grab another handful of pomegranate seeds from the plate in front of Ming Chao, but this time he came up empty.
Ming Chao moved the plate away when he reached out.
Ning Youyu was instantly delighted, making a face at him, "Hmph, the pomegranates my brother peels are always for me and my sister; we won’t let you have any."
After saying this, he got off the sofa, walked over to Ming Chao, took the plate from his brother’s hand, and then walked back to Ning Youguang, grinning with joy, "Sister, you eat."
Ning Youguang smiled and reached out, grabbing a few pomegranate seeds from the plate in front of her.
"Delicious, thank you, Little Fish and brother."
Ning Youyu’s face was beaming with happiness, and even the usually indifferent expression on Ming Chao’s face relaxed into a smile.
Zhao Sui raised an eyebrow at this.
After Ning Youguang ate a few bites of pomegranate, Ning Youyu returned the pomegranate plate to his brother.
Ming Chao continued peeling the pomegranates, while the siblings continued eating fruit and chatting.
"Sister, mom said she would take me to the museum next week, are you going?"
"Isn’t it good that mom is taking you to the museum? Why do I see you’re a little unhappy?" Ning Youguang asked back.
Ning Youyu was silent for a moment, then climbed onto the sofa and whispered in Ning Youguang’s ear, "Sister, I don’t really want to go to the museum."
Ning Youguang smiled and turned sideways, whispering in his ear, "If you don’t want to go to the museum, where do you want to go?"
"I want to go to the zoo."
"Then tell mom."
"Mom says there’s nothing fun at the zoo and we can’t go," Ning Youyu pouted.
Ning Youguang smiled, patting his drooping little head, "Alright, I understand."
...
In the aroma-filled kitchen.
Ming Jinxin stood by the kitchen island, mixing a sauce, and asked when she saw Ning Youguang come in, "Are you hungry?"
Ning Youguang shook her head, walked over, took a few cloves of garlic, and started peeling them, smiling as she said, "Auntie, I want to go to the zoo this weekend, can I take Little Fish with me?"
Ming Jinxin was momentarily stunned, then laughed, "That child, he told you?"
Ning Youguang laughed, "Yeah, he secretly told me he wants to go to the zoo next week."
"Beijing’s zoo is terribly smelly, and there’s not much to see," Ming Jinxin paused in exasperation, then asked, "Youyou, why did you agree to take him to the zoo?"
"Because I think when parents take kids on outings over the weekend, they should ask for the kids’ opinions appropriately, give them choices, let them make their own decisions, and satisfy their needs, which will boost their self-confidence. These things are more important than anything else." 1314
