Lu Weixi’s mood was like a rollercoaster – she had just reached the top, but before she could feel the excitement of the high, she suddenly fell down.

She was so stunned that it took her several seconds to respond, “What do you mean it’s gone?”

“The cruise tickets, for the inaugural journey of Hanhai Group’s ship,” Xue Feifei answered sourly.

“How is that possible? Weren’t we supposed to meet at eight in the evening?” Lu Weixi, having recovered from the shock, spoke in an almost harsh tone, “I’ve already prepared the money. He can’t just go back on his word.”

“I know, I said the same thing to him. But the scalper said someone already beat us to it and paid 200,000. The tickets are gone. I’ll try contacting others.”

Lu Weixi’s eyelids twitched. After a long pause, she finally nodded, “Alright.”

After the call, Lu Weixi wore a solemn expression.

She was trying to console herself that even if she got on the ship and met with Boss Liao, her chances of being selected would only increase from 1% to 10%, and there was still a 90% chance of missing out. It could end up being just an expensive trip.

But this feeling, it was like saving money for a long time to buy a beautiful dress or a pair of shoes you liked, only to find out the products were sold out once your money was ready, and you went eagerly to the store.

If she hadn’t wanted to go from the beginning, she would have just grumbled a bit. But she had tried hard to get there, and now that she was so close, this sudden snag was driving her nuts.

Lu Weixi stayed at the company all day, maintaining a grave expression and sitting in a stoic manner even after dinner.

Xiaochen and Xiaoqian regretted asking Lu to come to the office. With Lu still there on a Sunday, they couldn’t leave either. As they were about to say something, a call came. Seeing the caller, Lu immediately clenched her lips, stood up, and quickly drove out in her car.

Lu Weixi went to meet Xue Feifei. Her period of confinement was about to end. On one hand, the scripts the company was handing her wouldn’t start production for another month, so she had time. On the other hand, she received no formal training in acting. Even though she had studied intermittently over the past five years, she still felt it insufficient. She planned to use this time to learn acting and dancing.

Lu Weixi headed to a SPA center close to Yuechun Apartments. The apartments were quite near the CBD of Yan City, surrounded by numerous film and TV companies, and not far from Yan City Television Building. That’s why many beauty and leisure centers for celebrities were set up here.

Xue Feifei had been training in dance and acting for an entire month, and her muscles ached terribly. Lu Weixi was feeling down, so Feifei thought to take her out to relax.

After a bath, the two had a full-body oil SPA. Xue Feifei kept prattling about her month-long training. Though it was tiresome, it was better than blindly performing in front of a camera like she used to. Lu Weixi, lying on the massage bed, didn’t say a word in response.

Even when the SPA was over, she maintained her position, lying there in silence. Xue Feifei leaned in and asked, “Do you really want to participate in the inaugural voyage that much?”

Lu Weixi nodded, “Of course, there’s a client onboard whom I desperately want to get close to.”

Xue Feifei remained silent for a while before saying, “But you know, these tickets aren’t publicly available for purchase. You just can’t buy them. If you really want to board, there’s a simpler way.”

Without Feifei saying, Lu Weixi already knew what it was – she could ask Qin Zhiyou!
