Chapter: 4227

Sometimes, even the entire team had to fight on consecutively for several all-nighters.

At that moment, her manager Chen Tudou pushed open the door and walked in.

Chen Tudou walked in and, smiling, waved at Gu Qingyi before sitting down beside a stool, watching Gu Qingyi rehearse without speaking.

Until one piece ended, Gu Qingyi finally opened her mouth to say, "Music teacher, please stop for a moment. Everyone take a 10-minute break."

The fellow dancers finally breathed a sigh of relief, with one of them looking at unchanging Gu Qingyi in surprise and saying, "Autumn Yiyu sister... your physical fitness is just too abnormal... we're all about to collapse, how can you not sweat at all..."

Gu Qingyi only realized that she had been rehearsing alone, completely ignoring the physical condition of others, and was already lagging far behind her objective reality.

Since drinking the Rejuvenation Elixir given by Ye Chen, her physical fitness had received an enormous boost; let alone comparing herself to girls of the same age, even compared to men of the same age who were well-trained, she was unmatched.

With an exceptional physique, once she immersed herself in rehearsal, ignoring the passage of time, the other dancers could only suffer as a result.

As everyone looked worn out with sweat dripping from their foreheads and gasping for breath, Gu Qingyi apologized sincerely, saying: "I'm really sorry, girls. I didn't expect to practice for so long. Let's take a break for half an hour, and I'll treat you all to some sweet treats. Just tell Xiao Lan what you want, and she'll help us get it ready."

The fellow dancers cheered and surged towards a 20-year-old girl standing nearby, who was none other than Gu Qingyi's on-site assistant.

Once everyone had settled down, Gu Qingyi came over to Chen Tudou, smiling as she asked: "Tudou, do you have something to ask me?"

Chen Tudou nodded slightly and began to speak: "The vice president of the New York Association called from the other side. The heir of the Fee family is planning to collaborate with the New York Chinese Business Association on a charity gala, launching a charitable foundation project. I just happened to hear that the association has cooperated with you, so they want to invite you to attend the charity gala. The event time is November 11th in the evening, and I've checked your schedule plan – there's no arrangement for that evening."

Gu Qingyi thought for a moment before speaking: "Although there's no arrangement on November 11th, it doesn't mean I'll have the time. What if I need to go see Ye Chen or Ye Chen comes to visit me?"

As she spoke, she told Chen Tudou: "Tudou, would you please decline on my behalf? Just say that my schedule is tight and I won't attend the gala. However, since it's a charity gala, I'll definitely donate some money as an expression of goodwill – you can help me donate $1 million when the time comes."

Chen Tudou couldn't help but ask: "Qingyi, don't you want to know what this charitable foundation is for?"

"Ah, Chen Tudou asked me that, and I was curious: 'What's so special about this charitable foundation?'"

"Certainly there is," Chen Tudou said with a smile. "This foundation is dedicated to helping North American Chinese orphans, resolving their daily living needs, while also providing them with education until they enter society and have stable income."

Gu Qingyi listened up to this point and her expression had already changed slightly. She nodded repeatedly, looking very serious: "Oh, it's actually dedicated to helping orphans... That's really too meaningful... Can you help me check my schedule for that evening? If it's convenient, I'll go attend the gala."

Chen Tudou shrugged his shoulders, deliberately teasing her: "You're just doing this because your Ye Chen brother is an orphan, so you automatically elevate the charitable act of helping orphans in your eyes. Do you think helping lonely elderly people's charitable foundation is lower than that in your opinion?"

Gu Qingyi's face turned red with embarrassment and she hastened to say: "I'm not saying that! Don't be silly!"

Chen Tudou hummed and asked her: "What are you beating around the bush for? Just tell me, what is it?"

Gu Qingyi hesitated for a long time before finally straightening out his thoughts and giving Chen Tudou a stern look. She blurted out: "You're right, I do think highly of this charitable act of helping orphans. It's because my Ye Chen brother spent many years in an orphanage, eating so much hardship. When I think about it, my heart hurts. I may not be able to go back and compensate for his childhood, but I can compensate for other orphans' childhoods. That way, I can give myself some closure. You're just trying to force me to acknowledge this, aren't you? I acknowledge it, okay?"

Chen Tudou was amused by her serious expression and burst into laughter: "Okay, okay! You've acknowledged it! Your emotional state may not be something I can empathize with, but I can understand it to some extent. That's why I said let me help you understand the purpose of this charitable foundation before making a decision."

"As Chen Tudou spoke, he added: 'But, Gu Qingyi, you can't keep being so silly. You only know how to silently contribute. When you agreed to attend this charity gala, it wasn't just about helping orphans, but also to let Ye Chen know that you're doing all this because you like him and love him for who he is!'"

Gu Qingyi nervously pushed her long hair away from her face and whispered: 'That's unnecessary... I'm not trying to seek favors from Ye Chen brothers...'" JrNovels.com
