Chapter 125 Recruiting

The city's neon lights are like shattered glass, scattered and boundless, with the starlight converging into a vast ocean.

Traffic flowed along the road, running north to south.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of the city, the Oborozuki Restaurant remains as tranquil as ever, a square building standing in a corner of Chunxing.

Lin Heng once again hosted distinguished guests here.

Sitting at the table, he held a cup, looked up, and a smile on his lips revealed a hint of ingratiation.

"How have you decided?" A soft, gentle voice rang out. The owner of the voice was Xu Jingyan, the "innocent flower" from "Twin Lotus".

Lin Heng withdrew his hand and placed it on the table, unconsciously touching the back of his ear, a sense of guilt clinging to every word he uttered. "In my opinion, being able to sign with President Xu's company would be the best thing ever. It would be a perfect match for Luo Luo's future development and her personal interests. However, we still need to do some more persuasion work with Luo Luo."

Having risen to a high position, Xu Jingyan's ambitions took root and grew. She planned to open a talent agency, becoming both an artist and a boss, and strategizing for her future.

Her first choice for an artist was Jiang Luo.

So she contacted Lin Heng and made a simple request: Jiang Luo was not allowed to date for three years and had to focus solely on her career.

With a slight flicker of her eyes, Xu Jingyan glanced at him, "Doesn't she always listen to you?"

"Not entirely." Lin Heng chuckled, his hand gripping the cup again.

Sensing something amiss, Xu Jingyan rested her chin on her hand and frowned, "Luo Luo and President He are dating?"

Lin Heng didn't answer, but just chuckled and took a sip of water.

Narrowing her eyes, Xu Jingyan seemed to be scrutinizing him, or perhaps pondering something, and said in an unquestionable tone, "Talk to her again."

Xu Jingyan won the Best Actress award for her role in "Twin Lotuses," which boosted her career, giving her access to influential connections and propelling her career to new heights.

Joining her company is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity not only for Jiang Luo, but also for Lin Heng. He might be able to leapfrog into the ranks of top agents.

Therefore, he concealed the fact that he had a dispute with Jiang Luo, and made no mention of that he was considering terminating his contract with Jiang Luo.

"Okay, I'll talk to her again."

"Hmm." Xu Jingyan picked up her bag and stood up.

Just then, the waiter knocked on the door and came in, carrying an elegant tray.

Lin Heng stood up as well, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Xu Jingyan was too lazy to answer the question, and only said, "I'm leaving now. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer."

Working at Longyue is all about rules and regulations. The waiters only do what they're supposed to do, like robots. Even when Xu Jingyan walks past him, he doesn't even glance at her.

The door opened and then closed again.

The sound of high heels clicking on the ground gradually faded away.

The waiter arranged the dishes, bowed to Lin Heng (the only remaining customer), and said, "Please enjoy your meal." Then he left.

The empty private room, the huge round table, and Lin Heng alone made it seem desolate.

In front of him was avocado and bird's nest soup, which Jiang Luo liked. Even though she wasn't there, he still ordered it for her out of habit.

After sitting there for a while, Lin Heng took out his phone and dialed a number.

When Jiang Luo received Lin Heng's call, she and Shi Yan were lying on the sofa with face masks on. Jiang Luo's long legs were casually draped over the coffee table, and her toes were twitching. She looked as relaxed as a cat basking in the winter sun.

Seeing her name displayed on the screen, her heart skipped a beat, and she felt the same tension she had before her exam results were announced back in her school days.

Is this an announcement of contract termination?

Jiang Luo pulled her leg back and picked up her slippers.

Hearing the noise, Shi Yan, who had been enjoying herself with her eyes closed, opened them. "What's wrong?"

"I'm going to answer this call." Jiang Luo gripped her phone and quickly walked into the bedroom.

She sat on the edge of the bed, took a deep breath, pressed the call button, and then peeled off the face mask and placed it on her neck.

"Brother Lin," she called softly.

Lin Heng's voice was lower than usual, "Luo Luo, I've thought it over. My original intention wasn't to break up with you, but to help your career improve."

There seems to be a glimmer of hope?

Jiang Luo couldn't contain her joy.

But what she said next made her slightly embarrassed smile.

"I met with Xu Jingyan today."
