Chapter 57

Lu Xun would often watch a video over and over again in silence. The main character in the video was the girl on the screen.

He thought, the girl was very pretty, and her smile was passionate and youthful. No wonder even a cold learning machine like Lu Xun could not forget her.

Until the first time I actually met Jiang Qiao, the girl who only existed on the phone screen.

The director introduced everyone enthusiastically, and everyone toasted each other. There was no such thing as a pure meal at this occasion. Jiang Qiao tried his best to reduce his presence, but he still couldn't escape.

"Jiang Qiao, today is your wrap-up party. Guonan is the investor of our crew. Why don't you toast to Guonan's representative, Special Assistant Wang?"

The director's behavior is actually very common. He invested money, and as an actor in the crew, it's okay to thank him. There is no deliberate targeting.

Jiang Qiao just didn't like drinking. He frowned slightly and was about to stand up to toast, but Assistant Wang beside him hurriedly spoke up, apologetically: "No, no, I drove here and I really can't drink."

Just kidding, he asked Jiang Qiao to toast him because he was afraid that someone would chop him up as a snack.

Since the representative of the largest investor had said this, it was naturally difficult for the others to say anything. As a result, a wrap-up party that was originally intended to consolidate the cooperative relationship turned into a real dinner party.

After the dinner, Wang Jie drove to a suburban villa and stopped. Someone immediately came to open the door and helped park the car.

Before entering the villa, Wang Jie heard a loud male voice.

In the center of the exquisite and luxurious Chinese-style living room, a man with gray hair was the noise maker. Opposite him, Lu Xunwei lowered his eyes and looked at the plan in his hand, his profile cold and indifferent.

You came at a really bad time.

Wang Jie's mouth twitched and he was about to sneak away.

Grandma Gray turned around and saw him, her round eyes full of surprise: "Jiejie! Long time no see!"

It’s been a year since we last met, it’s really long.

Wang Jie walked over helplessly: "Mr. Gu, long time no see."

"Oh, you're so polite. When we were studying abroad together, you were not such a polite person. You've only been with Brother Xun for a year, how come you've become like this? Tsk tsk tsk tsk."

Gu Xing, the boss of a well-known entertainment company, just took over the company this year. He has a "sweet girl" face, a lively personality, and a bit of a wise fool.

Anyone who saw him for the first time would never believe that he was once a student at a top university like Lu Xun.

Lu Xun skipped a grade, Gu Xing failed a grade, and he performed normally, so the three of them were in the same grade by accident, and Gu Xing was even assigned to the dormitory next to them.

As a fellow Chinese, Gu Xing often came to their dormitory, but half a year later, only Wang Jie talked to him. Lu Xun's attitude was still polite and distant. Gu Xing was not angry and continued to pester Lu Xun.

Over time, the three of them became a regular partner. When Guonan had a problem with its initial funding, Gu Xing took out all his pocket money and borrowed a lot from his family.

This person is good in every way except that he talks too much.

Finally, someone who could listen to him came. Gu Xing talked about everything from graduation to taking over the company.

Wang Jie couldn't bear it any longer: "What on earth are you doing here?"

"Brother Xun asked me to come."

“…………Classmate Gu Xing, you are one year older than me and two years older than Lu Xun.” Wang Jie reminded him.

"I know." Gu Xing blinked his big round eyes as if it was a matter of course: "You don't understand, brother is a feeling, I feel that Brother Xun has the demeanor of a big brother."

Wang Jie: “……………………”

He took a deep breath and turned to look at Lu Xun: "You asked me to come here just to meet this guy?"

Lu Xun finally stopped what he was doing and said in a neutral tone, "Don't you want to see him?"

"What, Jie Jie wants to see me?!"

"I don't!"

Two voices rang out at the same time, one vehemently denied it, the other didn't believe it at all.

"I'll go to the study, you guys chat." Lu Xun closed his laptop with a click and stood up to leave.

Gu Xing didn't bother to discuss the question of "whether or not" with Wang Jie, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Xun, are you sure you want to acquire the entertainment company where your sister-in-law works and merge it with my company for free?"

Brother Xun, sister-in-law, what a confusing name.

Wang Jie frowned and understood why Lu Xun called Gu Xing over.

Lu Xun frowned and said in a cold voice, "Her name is Jiang Qiao."

"Okay, okay, Jiang Qiao." Gu Xing readily agreed: "Do you really want me to manage it?"

Lu Xun nodded.

"No, why?" Gu Xing didn't understand: "Then as the boss, what attitude should I use towards her in the future? Brother Xun, you have to give me a definite answer."

“Treat it normally.”

"Don't you need me to help you create opportunities to pursue her?"

Lu Xun said calmly: "Why should I chase her?"

"Don't you like her?" Gu Xing asked.

Wang Jie was so nervous that he carefully observed the man's expression. He almost wanted to knock the stubborn Gu Xing's brain out.

Fortunately, Lu Xun was not angry. He turned around and looked at the pink roses blooming on the white wall outside the window. After a while, he said in a very calm tone: "I don't like it."

"Then... do you need me to help you deal with her?" Gu Xing asked tentatively again.

Wang Jie: “……………………”Help.

“………No need.” Lu Xun said with a stern face: “Just treat it normally.”

Gu Xing made an "OK" gesture to show that he understood, then ran to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and searched for any usable ingredients inside. He wanted to make a midnight snack.

In the study, Wang Jie looked gentle and relaxed. He handled the two roles of friend and subordinate very well.

He privately thought that tonight's dinner was not a business matter.

After telling Wang Jie everything that happened at the dinner tonight, he stopped talking and looked at his nose and his heart.

Lu Xun paused as he signed the document, without looking up: "I didn't ask you that."

I didn't ask, but after hearing that it was Miss Jiang Qiao's wrap-up party, I suddenly said for no reason: If someone invites you, don't refuse, you have to send someone, otherwise people will think that Guonan is arrogant, which will have a bad influence.

"Yeah, yes." Wang Jie said sincerely, "That's what I wanted to say."

Lu Xun: “……………………”

Downstairs, the young man shouted loudly that the midnight snack was ready, asking the two to come down quickly to eat and not to let others down.

Wang Jie’s eyes widened, with a flash of fear in them.

Lu Xun continued to process work documents and said indifferently: "Go downstairs and eat. Don't let others down."

Wang Jie: “……………………”

He is still as petty as ever. Just because his identity has been exposed, he actually wants to kill him. Is the food cooked by Gu Xing edible?

Wang Jie had no choice but to go down.

On the third day after the filming was completed, Jiang Qiao unexpectedly received a notice that the company had been acquired, and her agent was also changed from Liu Shuang to Yang Hua.

A well-known agent in the entertainment industry who is protective of his protégés.
