Chapter 461: Are You Really So Talented?
Although they were not the most perfect moves and even though he almost fell a couple of times, it was very surprising that Lu Jingqi could still remember all of the dance moves that he had just seen.
Jin Mingchen laid on the gra.s.s and supported his body with his elbow as he watched Lu Jingqi dancing in front of him. After watching Lu Jingqi imitating and performing all of the dance steps that he had shown him earlier, Jin Mingchen wiped the sweat off his face before he exclaimed, “Are you really so talented?”
When Lu Jingqi heard Jin Mingchen praising him after showing off his dance moves, his eyes shone brightly as though he understood that Jin Mingchen was praising him.
This was the first time that Third Uncle Lu had seen such an expression on Lu Jingqi’s face after so many years.
“You are really very talented, Jingqi! Let me rest a little while more before I show you some more dance moves and you can follow my steps, okay?”
Lu Jingqi nodded excitedly after listening to Jin Mingchen’s words.
After that, it seemed as though Lu Jingqi was getting more and more flexible. He could mimic and remember all the dance moves that Jin Mingchen showed him after watching it twice.
Everyone was really shocked at this time.
Jiang Yuning and Chen Jingshu exchanged glances with one another as they smiled. It seemed as though it was really useful to use the thing that Lu Jingqi enjoyed the most to stimulate him.
At this time, Jin Mingchen was also very excited. This was because it was the first time that he had ever encountered such a talented dancer. The dance moves that he had just showed Lu Jingqi was the latest ch.o.r.eography of the dance that he had only performed once at a concert. Therefore, Jin Mingchen knew that it was completely impossible for Lu Jingqi to have seen the dance moves before.
Jin Mingchen was really surprised that Lu Jingqi could catch on and learn all the dance moves so quickly and effortlessly.
After a brief moment, Jin Mingchen jumped back in front of Jiang Yuning as he gave her a thumbs up. “Sister Yuning, can I bring the young master back with me so that he can train with all of us? Young Master Jingqi is a natural talent, and I believe he will definitely turn out to be a very amazing dancer if he trains under a professional teacher.”
“But his condition right now…”
“I don’t think that there is any problem with the young master at all. I have absolutely no problem communicating with him. Sister Yuning, I promise to definitely keep an eye on him and I will make sure to protect him. I have never seen a dancer as talented as he is. Therefore, I really feel that it would be a pity for him to give up on an opportunity to train under a professional,” Jin Mingchen continued exclaiming excitedly.
In fact, Jiang Yuning felt that it would be plausible for them to allow Jin Mingchen to look after Lu Jingqi on their behalf.
They could place Lu Jingqi as a trainee under the same entertainment company as Jin Mingchen. Lu Jingqi could learn all the dance moves and undergo the training process as long as there was someone that they could trust watching over him and protecting him. This way, Lu Jingqi would be able to make more new friends and this would help him to integrate into society more easily.
However, Third Uncle Lu would definitely be worried.
This was because Third Uncle Lu did not dare to let Lu Jingqi out of his sight at all. As soon as Third Uncle Lu heard Jin Mingchen’s proposal, he quickly walked towards both of them as he said, “Isn’t all of this proceeding too quickly? Yuning, I cannot agree to this. It is too risky to place Jingqi in such a position.”
“Third Uncle, we can sign Jingqi up as a trainee under the entertainment company and they could train him in secret. I am certain that we can also get them to sign the confidentiality agreement. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about Jingqi facing any harm at all.”
Third Uncle Lu continued shaking his head. “No, I cannot allow Jingqi to be out of my sight. Both of you are too bold. I cannot agree to this at all.”
Jiang Yuning could understand where Third Uncle Lu was coming from.
Perhaps she was too anxious and she was taking it too quickly.
However, at this time, Lu Jingqi puckered his lips as he glared at his father with an angry expression on his face. Lu Jingqi also grabbed hold of Jin Mingchen’s sleeves, refusing to let go under any circ.u.mstances at all.
If Jin Mingchen walked two steps, he would follow suit and walk two steps after him.
After seeing Lu Jingqi’s reaction, Jiang Yuning made a proposal to Third Uncle Lu. “Third Uncle, why don’t you give Jingqi a chance to prove himself? Let him try it out and we can take it slowly from here. Don’t worry about him getting injured or bullied. I will take care of everything.”
At this time, Third Uncle Lu looked at his son, who had a face full of expectation. How could he bear to say no when he knew that this was what his son really wanted? Therefore, he finally nodded as he compromised. “Yuning…you have to promise me that you will make sure that he will not be exposed to any bullying or humiliation, and that he will not suffer any grievances at all.”
“I promise, Third Uncle,” Jiang Yuning nodded.
After getting Third Uncle Lu’s approval, Jiang Yuning turned around and looked at Lu Jingqi before she said in a patient manner, “Jingqi, I can make the arrangements for you to learn dancing and play with Brother Jin, but can you promise me that you will be obedient and listen to Sister Yuning and do everything that I ask you to?”
Lu Jingqi stared at Jiang Yuning with a serious expression on his face, as though he was trying to digest the information.
After a short while, he nodded his head in a serious manner.
“I will listen to you…”
“Then I will make all the arrangements for you. Jingqi, you have to be patient and wait for another two days, okay? Brother Jin is also a very busy man and we need to wait until he has some free time for us, okay?”
Even though Lu Jingqi felt very reluctant, he was very obedient and he nodded after listening to Jiang Yuning’s words.
Jiang yuning felt that Lu Jingqi had really recovered a lot.
In the past, Lu Jingqi would always be immersed in his own world and he would not have given so much response to the people around him at all.
…
When Jin Mingchen finally left the Lu family mansion, Lu Jingqi’s gaze kept following him because he felt very hesitant for him to leave.
At this time, what Lu Jingqi yearned for was not only the dance skills that Jin Mingchen could help him with, but he was also filled with curiosity and longing for his own future.
Jiang Yuning drove Jin Mingchen as she was going to drop him back at his agency. Therefore, both of them made use of the drive back to discuss meeting up with Jin Mingchen’s agent to talk about Lu Jingqi.
“Sister Yuning, my agent is a very nice person. She is very responsible and capable.”
“Mingchen, do you really think that Jingqi is very talented at dancing?”
Jin Mingchen looked at Jiang Yuning with a surprised expression on his face after listening to her question. “Sister Yuning, you were also a music student in the past. Wouldn’t you know if Jingqi really has any talent in dancing at all?”
“I just…aren’t you worried that Jingqi will have a very bright future in the entertainment industry in the future?”
“You are really underestimating me then, Sister Yuning. Although I might be a coward, I do not have that kind of thoughts at all. I have never even thought about it once. Moreover, I cannot deny that dancing is not my strongest talent anyway. Encountering such a talented dancer is just like finding a treasure that has been hidden all this while,” Jin Mingchen replied in a serious manner.
After listening to Jin Mingchen’s words, Jiang Yuning suddenly thought of the way that he had screamed when they were filming . It seemed as though the sound of his screaming was still ringing in her ears at this time.
“Then Mingchen, I am really placing Jingqi into your hands. I hope that you can help me protect and take good care of him as I will begin filming my drama soon.”
“You can count on me,” Jin Mingchen a.s.sured Jiang Yuning as he patted his own chest.
Although Jiang Yuning has already discussed the matter with Jin Mingchen, she also had to talk to Jin Mingchen’s agency as they would need to sign a confidentiality agreement as well as prepare a whole set of training procedures for Lu Jingqi. This required a substantial amount of money and investment.
However, Jiang Yuning felt that no matter how much money they had to fork out for Lu Jingqi’s training, the end results would definitely prove to be worthwhile.
In order not to commence filming with any worries on her mind, Jiang Yuning asked Vera to make an appointment with Jin Mingchen’s current agent, who was a young girl named w.a.n.g Jing.
Of course, Jin Mingchen was also invited for dinner.
At this time, the other party did not know what Jiang Yuning’s intention was. However, w.a.n.g Jing did not turn down the invitation since Jiang Yuning was currently a very popular artiste, and since Jin Mingchen would also be attending the dinner with her.
The few of them arranged to meet up at the restaurant in Dynasty Hotel.
w.a.n.g Jing did not look that much older compared to Jiang Yuning because she was only in her late twenties. Even though she was still very young, w.a.n.g Jing was a very experienced agent, especially when it came to dealing with boy bands.
“Sister Yuning, you can chat freely. You don’t have to be so cautious because Sister Jing is also a very straightforward and easygoing person.”
It was obvious that Jin Mingchen really trusted and looked up to w.a.n.g Jing.
At the same time, w.a.n.g Jing can also feel Jin Mingchen’s admiration and love for Jiang Yuning.
Both of them greeted each another in a pleasant manner.
After that, Jiang Yuning went straight to the point as she spoke about Lu Jingqi to w.a.n.g Jing.
“I think I understand what you are trying to say here, Miss Jiang. You want to place the young Master Lu under our entertainment company under the guise of a trainee here to practice dancing. In fact, you want us to help him to recover faster and if it is possible, you want to help him to plan a debut in the future?”
