Chapter 151: Chapter 151 Two Acquaintances Who Should Not Be Together

"Lu Yao had everything planned out," she had already lined up a gig for us, "I’ve already got in touch with a bar, and tonight we’ll go sing there to make some money!"

So, you couldn’t make the ticket money happen, but planning to pocket your own cash you’ve got all figured, huh.

Lin Qingyue couldn’t help but laugh, these team captains sure knew how to scheme.

What else could anyone say? After dinner at home, they all ventured out to the bar again.

A group of them, relying on the little bit of money they had left from selling bottled water, took a taxi to the bar Lu Yao had contacted.

The bar Lu Yao had found was an old establishment in the 5th District of Paris, appearing quite run-down, with not even a sign in sight.

But considering this bar was located in the 5th District of Paris, and judging by the size from the outside, it was clear this was no ordinary bar.

And indeed.

The moment they saw the bar, Yu Ke exclaimed in surprise, "Old George Bar?"

Lu Yao said in wonder, "Yu Ke, you’ve been here too?"

Yu Ke shook her head, "Never been, but I heard about it from friends when I was here for a concert."

Seeing the puzzled looks on Wu Mu and Wang Xiaotian’s faces, she went on to explain with a smile, "I only heard it from my friends. They told me it’s a famous bar around Paris. They have no sign, but because the owner’s name is George, everyone just calls it the Old George Bar."

"Many years ago, they started inviting big bands to perform, and besides the appearance fee, they’d also share all the ticket earnings from that night with the performing band. So, over time, it built quite a reputation, and many well-known bands have played here."

After hearing about the reputation of Old George Bar, Wang Xiaotian looked suspiciously at Lu Yao, "How did you manage to get us a gig at a bar like this?"

Lu Yao hummed triumphantly, "Of course, because I’m awesome!"

Wang Xiaotian wasn’t buying it, "Director, I’m reporting this, she’s using her position to make money!"

Lu Yao was indignant, "I am not! You’re just jealous I can make money!"

"Then how did you get them to agree?" Wang Xiaotian doggedly pursued.

Lu Yao, feeling somewhat guilty, admitted, "I just passed along a video of Xiao Wu and Yu Ke performing to my friend, and then they invited us."

So, you’re basically selling me and Yu Ke out. What are you so proud of?

Wu Mu watched her, amused.

Yu Ke felt helpless but was more concerned, "My piano playing isn’t really suited for this kind of place, right?"

Although Old George Bar had invited her, it was actually more inclined towards rock bands, and most bands that came here were rock bands.

Her piano playing was a bit too classy for this place, obviously not the right fit.

Lu Yao had anticipated this, "Yu Ke, didn’t you perform on the keyboard before? Just be the keyboardist for tonight."

She delegated the tasks, "Xiao Wu lead vocals and guitar, and I’ll play the drums."

Being a popular rising starlet, Lu Yao had learned a few talents aside from dancing, including playing the drums.

"What about me?" asked Wang Xiaotian, who hadn’t been assigned a task yet.

Lu Yao glanced sideways at him, "You can stand by as a bodyguard."

And what about me?

Zhang Haoran, who had been feeling a bit invisible, was on the verge of asking.

But considering his talents were mainly singing and dancing, and his singing was... well, he might as well join Wang Xiaotian as a bodyguard.

Zhang Haoran silently swallowed the words he was about to say.

Yu Ke, although she had heard quite a bit about the place from friends, was inevitably worried since it was her first visit, "But we haven’t rehearsed, is it okay to perform on such short notice?"

Lu Yao, eager to make some money for herself, had thought of everything. She waved her hand dismissively, "No problem. Old George Bar is all about improvisation anyway. Yu Ke, you’re so skilled, you’ll be fine improvising."

Yeah, that was true, top musicians usually had no trouble with improvisation. With just a bit of motivation, they could play along.

Even if not improvising, they could find some sheet music and play from it without much trouble.

After delegating tasks, Lu Yao moved on to another topic, "What shall we name our band?"

She excitedly suggested, "What about naming it the Ayao Band?"

Wu Mu smiled a bit and said, "I think Wu Mu Band sounds better."

Yu Ke offered a constructive suggestion, "How about Star Agency Band?"

Lu Yao didn’t find it to her liking.

Ultimately, after some discussion, Star Band was officially formed.

A group of people headed into the bar.

The bar’s cover charge was twenty euros per person, but since they were a band invited to perform, they didn’t have to pay.

Old George Bar was spacious—just a glance upon entering confirmed that it could easily accommodate seven or eight hundred people.

The overall style featured booths all around, and then there was a stage in the middle, with a ’pit’ area for watching the performance next to the stage.

There was no one on stage at this moment; today’s performances hadn’t started yet.

However, there were already quite a few customers present. The booths were about two or three parts full of people who were casually drinking and waiting for the show to begin.

Wu Mu and the others needed to go backstage first to check in with the bar owner and discuss the upcoming performance.

He followed Lu Yao inside, casually observing the bar’s atmosphere.

Then, as he glanced around and his eyes swept past a booth not far from the aisle, he froze.

How could they be here?

Wu Mu saw two very unexpected people before him.

He truly hadn’t anticipated encountering acquaintances here.

And not just any acquaintances—these were two people one would not normally expect to be seen together.

It was Liu Lan and Su Meng.

They were sitting at a booth, speaking softly to one another.

There were also several people dressed like assistants and bodyguards sitting with them.

It was surprising enough to run into Liu Lan in this foreign land, but why was Su Meng there too?

Did they know each other?

Wu Mu was a little puzzled.

He must have stared too long because the bodyguards, who were always vigilant of their surroundings, noticed him.

A female bodyguard gave him a questioning look and then whispered a warning to Liu Lan and the others.

Liu Lan looked up nonchalantly, and their eyes met.

Quite plainly, she too was taken aback.

After a moment, a slightly mocking smile appeared on her face.

Su Meng, sitting next to her, followed her gaze, and upon seeing Wu Mu, she too was momentarily stunned. Then her brows immediately furrowed.

He didn’t want to bother with Liu Lan, but Su Meng, after all, was an acquaintance. It would be rude not to greet her.

Wu Mu smiled and nodded at her, "Long time no see. Didn’t expect to run into you here."

Su Meng glanced at Liu Lan next to her, hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Long time no see."

Wu Mu turned to look at Liu Lan curiously, "Your friend?"

Su Meng hesitated again and then nodded softly, "Yeah."

He truly hadn’t imagined Su Meng and Liu Lan could be friends.

Thinking back, it made sense why he had always felt that Su Meng’s attitude toward him was a bit strange; her demeanor had undoubtedly been that of an "anti-fan."

But it didn’t feel like the kind that transformed from a fan into an anti-fan.

Now it seemed it was all because of Liu Lan.
