Chapter 23 Famous or Embarrassed
"...You know what? You are really an out-and-out bastard."
"What the hell did you say about me?!"
"Stop making trouble, you fucking ruined my yoga class!!!"
On this day, as soon as Lu Qi walked into Michael's mansion, he heard the noise coming from the direction of the kitchen.
"It couldn't have come at a worse time..."
Although he thought so in his heart, Lu Qi still tried his best to raise the corners of his mouth, put on a smile, and stepped into the "battlefield":
“Did someone just say yoga?”
As soon as he said this, everyone in the kitchen looked at him in unison.
There are four people standing in the open kitchen.
Michael, Jimmy, Amanda, and an unknown South American man.
Judging from this old man's attire, Lu Qi could easily guess his identity - Amanda's yoga teacher.
The appearance of outsiders brought the originally smoke-filled atmosphere to an abrupt end.
Michael, who was unwilling to expose his family scandal, took a step forward and asked:
"Alex? Why are you here?"
Feeling a hint of embarrassment in the air, Lu Qi glanced at Jimmy, who had an unnatural expression on his side, and couldn't help but say:
"Oh, it's nothing. I just came here to see Jimmy and see if he has time to hang out with me."
"Looking for me?" Feizhai looked confused.
"Yes, didn't you say last time that Chinese Kung Fu is very cool and you want to learn a few moves? I just have time today, so I came over to see if you want to practice together..."
Lu Qi's purpose of coming here is certainly not what he said.
When he came here, it was actually just a daily visit.
It's just that I happened to encounter Michael's family dispute, so I came up with an excuse out of desperation.
He didn't want to get involved in Michael's family's troubles...
Hearing this, Michael looked at his fat son with some suspicion, with disbelief written all over his face.
"You want to learn kung fu? Really?"
Jimmy was stunned, and suddenly saw Lu Qi winking at him, and suddenly reacted,
"Uh, yeah, me"
"That's right. Going out for a walk or something is much better than staying in the room all day and chatting with people online..."
"By the way, Jimmy, where is your sister? Why didn't you see her?"
After saying that, Michael seemed to have remembered something, and anger surged onto his face again, "Gan! Is she going to interview for some bullshit movie company recruitment advertisement again?!"
The last time Trish was tricked onto a yacht by someone from a pornographic film company, it was Lao Mai who personally rescued her.
Correction, it was "hard pull".
Tracy didn't voluntarily leave that beautiful yacht that made young girls automatically take off their pants and spread their legs...
When asked suddenly, Fatty Zhai became hesitant as if his mother had caught him reading pornographic magazines in his room:
"Uh...she...she..."
The more this happened, the more Michael felt that something was fishy. He couldn't help but stare at his son with extremely oppressive eyes and asked:
"Jimmy, where the hell is Trish?"
After hesitating for a while, Jimmy finally revealed the whereabouts of his sister:
"She went to audition for TV."
"What?!"
Spreading his hands, Jimmy said innocently: "Yes, she went to audition for "Famous or Foolish"."
"What the hell are you talking about?!"
When Lu Qi heard the name of the program, the corner of his mouth twitched and he covered his forehead helplessly.
He has also heard the name of this show.
"Famous or Foolish" is a Los Santos-produced variety show.
Although it is not as good as some well-known talk shows and variety shows, and its ratings are average. However, due to the uniqueness of the program, it has been broadcast for fourteen years so far, and it can be regarded as one of the longevity programs in Los Santos.
But what's important is not the show, but Trish going to the show and what would have happened.
Due to the butterfly effect, Trevor still didn't know that Michael was still alive and didn't come to see him.
Nor did it trigger the plot of going to rescue Trish with Michael.
Now, it's good that I, who came to visit by chance, have been involved in this matter...
While Lu Qi was worrying about whether to intervene in this matter, the conversation between Michael and Jimmy continued.
"You know, that show where celebrities criticize the performers' talents. She really likes that show, you should know."
"What talents does she have?"
"Dance."
"Oh my God, she's not a very good dancer..."
Hearing Michael's heartfelt complaint, Amanda, who was standing aside, shouted with some dissatisfaction:
"Michael!"
Ignoring his wife's shouting, Michael continued to ask:
"What about her now? Where is she now?"
"Garden Bank Stadium."
At this time, after weighing it in his heart, Lu Qi decided
Although Trish is like many rebellious girls who have dreams of becoming a star, in the final analysis, she is still just a seventeen-year-old girl who is innocent and simple and does not understand the dangers of society.
If she is really humiliated and played by those scumbags in the entertainment industry, Tracy will no longer be the same Tracy.
If Lu Qi were Michael, he wouldn't want his precious daughter to be bullied by those bastards.
Thinking of this, Lu Qi couldn't help but interject:
"I heard that the host and judges of that show are all bastards. They always like to trample the contestants to nothing. Many contestants are more or less depressed after participating in the show. Some people
I also suffered from depression…”
Hearing this, Michael became even more angry.
When he thought about the bad things that might happen to his daughter, he became so angry that he couldn't help but punch the dining table:
"Gan! Why can't she go shopping or go out to play?!"
"I'll bring her back... Alex, are you coming with me?"
Hearing this, Lu Qi, who had been prepared for a long time, shrugged and replied:
"Sure thing, man."
"Sorry, Jimmy, let's meet up another time."
After patting Jimmy on the shoulder, Lu Qi followed Michael and walked out together.
...
Driving Michael's black Audi, the two soon arrived at the Garden Bank Stadium on Davis Street.
Parking the car in the parking space in front of the stadium gate, Lu Qi noticed that the billboard in front of the gate was an audition advertisement for "Famous or Foolish".
The two looked at each other, then quickened their pace and walked straight into the main stadium of the stadium.
As soon as he entered the hall, Lu Qi found that all he could see were contestants wearing strange clothes or carrying various musical instruments, practicing various talents.
There are people who sing and dance, there are people who perform boxing, and there are people who do acrobatics and magic.
This shows how attractive this program is to ordinary people...
Seeing Lu Qi and Michael who had just entered the lobby, a staff member with a registration form in his hand came up to them:
"Hello gentlemen, what are your names?"
The other party seemed to regard Lu Qi as contestants for the audition.
Lu Qi did not deny it. He took half a step forward and said with a smile:
"Yes, we came with Trish DeSanta for the audition, and we were stuck in traffic, so we got there late. Can you tell us where the audition is?"
"But your names are not on the registration form..."
Before the other party finished speaking, Lu Qi took out a fifty-dollar bill, put it on the other party's registration form, and said meaningfully:
"I think you must have forgotten to write it down, right?"
"Oh...oh, that should be it."
Putting the banknotes into his pocket very simply, the staff member turned around, pointed to a corridor behind him, and said:
"The studio is over there, they should be auditioning there now."
