The next day was sunny and breezy.

Lu Zhengye arranged to meet Yan Wuyong at the gym.

When Yan Wuyong arrived, Lu Zhengye was on the treadmill.

He changed into his workout clothes and then got on the treadmill next to Lu Zhengye.

Yan Wuyong spoke first, "President Lu is quite the hidden talent!"

"You flatter me," Lu Zhengye said casually.

"No one is more suitable than me to be a partner for TL's latest project," Yan Wuyong said bluntly.

Lu Zhengye chuckled and said, "I know."

"So you're not satisfied with the solution I proposed?"

Lu Zhengye said, "No, quite the opposite. I'll give you five percent interest, but there's a condition."

Yan Wuyong wasn't particularly surprised; as the saying goes, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Tell me about it.

Lu Zhengye said, "You can take the position of TL as the decision-maker in Country A, but I don't need you to do anything. You just need to be in the position."

Yan Wuyong understood Lu Zhengye's purpose almost immediately.

"You want me to sit in the second chair, so that I can take over if something happens to you."

Lu Zhengye chuckled, "I like talking to smart people."

He ran until he was covered in sweat, then got off the treadmill to wipe it off.

Yan Wuyong followed him down and asked, "What is your purpose in hiding your strength?"

"You don't need to know, just tell me whether you're going to do this business or not."

Yan Wuyong smiled: "Of course I'll do it."

Lu Zhengye admired him somewhat and asked, "Won't you reconsider?"

"No need, I like things that are challenging."

The person who harmed Luo Shuhua was easily found; the surveillance cameras captured everything.

That day, Luo Shuhua went to throw away the trash and was seen by Qiao Xi, who lived in the same neighborhood.

After Luo Shuhua left, Qiao Xi lingered by the trash can for a long time.

Then he actually reached into the trash bag.

Then they discovered the document that Luo Shuhua had torn to pieces.

Qiao Xi was very pleased with herself, and then hurried home.

She seemed to have a very clear purpose, which made Luo Shuhua suspicious.

So I went to her Weibo account to investigate.

Then it was discovered that on the day she went to the hospital, Qiao Xi had also gone to the hospital because of a cold.

It seems she saw Luo Shuhua go to the gynecology clinic, so she's been trying to find some leverage against her.

Luo Shuhua told Lin Yusheng about this.

Lin Yusheng: "Did you offend her?"

As soon as the question was asked, Lin Yusheng felt it was impossible. Given Luo Shuhua's personality, it was unlikely that she would offend anyone; it was more likely that she would be envied.

Luo Shuhua: "No, but I filmed my last drama with her, and she was the second female lead."

Lin Yusheng remembered; there really was such a thing.

When the stills were released, netizens praised Luo Shuhua for her beauty, calling her a natural beauty in period dramas.

However, the comments from Qiao Xi were less than satisfactory.

She has a rather ordinary appearance, which makes her suitable for youth dramas, but she can't pull off period dramas.

As a result, he was ridiculed by everyone.

Lin Yusheng and Luo Shuhua were both very angry. It was unbelievable that Qiao Xi would point the finger at Luo Shuhua over something like this.

If Luo Shuhua's house collapses, it will do her no good at all.

Lok Shu-hua: "Maybe she wasn't really looking forward to the show airing. Her acting was very stiff, which drove the director crazy. She probably knew that the show would have a bad impact on her after it aired."

Lin Yusheng typed away and complained to Luo Shuhua for a long time.

On the other side, Yan Wuyong waited for a long time without receiving Luo Shuhua's request for help, and couldn't even concentrate on reading any of the documents.

In the end, he couldn't hold back and sent the message.

Yan Wuyong: "I'll help you get revenge on her?"

Luo Shuhua replied quickly, "No need, I want to do it myself."

Yan Wuyong initially wanted to mock her for daring to do something, but then he remembered that she had slapped him the night before.

Perhaps, Luo Shuhua has really changed.

He put his phone aside and ignored it.

...

When Yan Wuyong returned home that evening, he saw Luo Shuhua waiting for him in the living room.

"You're back?" Luo Shuhua asked nervously.

"Well, but I still need to go to the study to take care of some work."

"Okay, can we make our marriage announcement public?"

Yan Wuyong could tell that she had really mustered up her courage.

He said, "Whatever makes you happy."

Luo Shuhua smiled gratefully, "Thank you."

After speaking, Luo Shuhua ran upstairs.

Yan Wuyong wanted to tell her to slow down, but he found it really hard to say anything expressing his concern; he felt incredibly awkward.

He rubbed his temples in exasperation.

Luo Shuhua returned to her room, closed the door, and immediately typed to Lin Yusheng.

He said yes.

Lin Yusheng: "Just do as you say, I'm in position, hurry up!!"

Luo Shuhua: "I'm so nervous, but you seem very happy."

Lin Yusheng: "I'm the first person to watch this gossip, and I really want to see you stand up for yourself, please."

Luo Shuhua took a few deep breaths before posting a Weibo message announcing that she was going to start a live stream.

Although the previous pregnancy incident was suppressed, it is still attracting a lot of attention.

So as soon as Luo Shuhua posted on Weibo, it was immediately forwarded by many people.

This resulted in the live stream being overcrowded an hour later.

Luo Shuhua appeared very anxious in front of the camera, while Lin Yusheng openly went in to watch and then offered encouragement using her official title.

Don't be nervous, keep going! Just say what you want to say.

"Mmm." Luo Shuhua nodded obediently.

[What are you saying? Are you explaining the pregnancy?]

[This is absolutely a fabrication. I have no idea that Shuhua (the actress who plays Shuhua) would ever like men.]

[Exactly, it's the girls who should be talking to Sister Shuhua.]
