Chapter 43: Jinjiang Dufa Chenchen, the little liar...

The peach tree in the yard is only half the height of the wall, with luxuriant branches and leaves. The ivy on the wall is lush and green. When the afternoon sun shines down, the shade of the tree is dotted with spots of light.

Jiang Chen realized that he was dreaming again. The scene in the dream was so familiar. He thought he was still a bystander and could see the little brat. But he didn't expect that he could feel someone holding him tightly in his arms.

His vision was blurry and his thoughts were not very clear. The person behind him was like a koala, rubbing against him. He felt itchy and told him to stop.

The hand he stretched out to stop him was grabbed by someone. The next moment, the world was spinning and he was lying on the bed with that person. The view outside the window darkened, as if he had suddenly entered darkness.

"Chenchen, do we have to go that far?"

"You said you would stay here with me, you little liar."

The person in the dream condemned him, the voice fell in his ears, with a panting sound, and bit his neck restlessly.

"I'm sorry, but I've already filled out my application and I want to go. I promise that as long as I have a holiday and no training, I will fly back to be with you."

Jiang Chen was pressed so hard that he couldn't breathe. He felt hot, so he unconsciously spread his legs and hugged the other person into his arms, bent his knees, and pressed against the other person's waist.

The person in the dream still couldn't be seen clearly, but Jiang Chen could feel that he was angry. He leaned over and kissed his lips, knowing that he was in the wrong, and comforted him for a long time.

At first it was just a hug, a kiss, pure and ambiguous, but later as the sky darkened, desire bared its fangs and claws in the darkness, they entangled in each other, floating in the dream...

Jiang Chen woke up from his dream, sweating all over.

The beauty in the dream had not completely dissipated, his breathing was a little heavy, and his body's reaction was even stronger. His eyes moved from the ceiling to his side, and met Lu Chiyuan's sleeping face.

The two of them were very close to each other. Lu Chiyuan's face was relaxed, his long eyelashes were slightly curled, and each eyelash was clearly visible.

Jiang Chen's heart was pounding, and he didn't care about anything else. He stood up and rolled down from the back of the sofa, put on his shoes, left the theater, and rushed into the bathroom.

The bathroom mirror reflected his flushed face, with sweat on his forehead and nose tip, a circle of red at the corners of his eyes, and a blurry look.

He leaned against the sink, slightly bent over, and the physiological reaction made him feel hot and his blood boil, and his reason seemed to be burned and confused.

The scenes in the dream are constantly disappearing, the entangled bodies are tirelessly demanding, and after the illusory afterglow fades away, only emptiness remains.

The unclear figure in the dream overlapped with Lu Chiyuan's face in my mind.

Jiang Chen felt like he was going crazy. He turned on the faucet and ran cold water for a long time before the heat in his heart subsided a little.

He lingered in the bathroom for a long time, and only went back to the theater to get his phone after his complexion returned to normal.

Lu Chiyuan was still asleep. Jiang Chen went in quietly, came out quietly, closed the door quickly, and walked away quickly.

The days in summer rise very early. The moon in the distant horizon gradually disappears, and a bright color appears in the sky. The lights in the corridor mix with the morning light, making it difficult to tell the time.

Jiang Chen looked out the window. Wisps of mist were rising in the courtyard. Someone was watering the garden. The delicate and beautiful flower buds were swaying in the rain and dew.

The sun had not risen in the sky yet and it was still early. Jiang Chen went back to his room but couldn't sleep. He went downstairs and met Uncle Lin. He asked Uncle Lin if there was any place to exercise in the old house.

Lin Bo happily took him to the back of the yard, where there was a gym for bodyguards' daily training, complete with all kinds of fitness equipment.

The venue was empty and quiet, and Jiang Chen vented his excess energy through exercise.

Lu Chiyuan had a rare good sleep without any messy dreams. He woke up feeling full of energy, but he was the only one left in the theater, as the seat next to him was already empty.

He sat up, with the thin blanket piled on his legs. The light in the theater was dim, and he took out his phone to check the time. He was a little surprised that Jiang Chen woke up earlier than him today, but he was not woken up.

A faint smile flashed across Lu Chiyuan's lips. It must be said that Jiang Chen's sleeping companionship was particularly effective.

next time……

next time?

Lu Chiyuan sensed the secret expectation in his heart and laughed.

He folded the blanket and walked out of the theater.

A red sun slowly rises in the sky, and the misty garden reflects a colorful halo under the sunlight, marking the beginning of a new day.

Lu Chiyuan's schedule was after noon. He would wait for his lawyer to come to the old house in the morning to explain some things.

Jiang Chen didn't dare to look directly at Lu Chiyuan because of the chaotic dream. He just avoided the topic while eating breakfast and went straight upstairs to his room after the meal.

Shen Zhiyi didn't want to see Lu Chiyuan, so she didn't go downstairs. The servant brought her breakfast.

Lu Chiyuan was talking to the lawyer downstairs, while Jiang Chen was sitting on the small balcony outside his room playing with his phone.

The sun hasn't come out yet, the balcony is in the shade, and the breeze brings a slight coolness.

Jiang Chen played two games, during which messages kept popping up. He thought it was about work, so he was lazy and didn't reply immediately. After a while, he remembered that he was not logged in with a work account, so he quit the game and clicked on the message.

Xu Chen: [Lu Chiyuan is a real dog! A real dog!]

Xu Chen: [So are you two leaving now?]

Xu Chen: [If we haven't set off yet, can you replace him and take me with you? jpg.]

Xu Chen went to work happily, but when he arrived at the office, he saw a pile of documents. After asking Lu Mingxuan, he found out that Lu Chiyuan had delegated the work to the two of them, and he was going to take Jiang Chen to Xingyuan Entertainment.

Xu Chen, who had helped Jiang Chen with the plan for two days, was torn. No wonder he had asked Lu Chiyuan before, but Lu Chiyuan didn't express his opinion and asked him to call Lu Mingxuan to the office. It seemed that he had already made arrangements at that time and decided not to take him to play.

Xu Chen: [Bao, is he really too much?]

Xu Chen had a lot of complaints. Didn't he just tease her and deliberately say that he would take Jiang Chen away for two days? He didn't say that he wouldn't bring him back, but Lu Chiyuan got serious with him.

Haha, man, stinky man!

Xu Chen was quite resentful about this, Jiang Chen comforted him: [Only go today.]

Lu Chiyuan is so busy, Jiang Chen doesn't think he will spend a lot of time on this kind of thing. He will take him to inspect today, and the subsequent work should still be done by him and Xu Chen.

Xu Chen sent a humming emoticon, and it was obvious that he was not completely satisfied.

Jiang Chen chatted with him for a while longer, killing time together, until Lu Chiyuan sent a message saying it was time to leave, and then Jiang Chen went downstairs.

Xingyuan Entertainment and the company are not in the same direction, and starting from the old house means taking another road, so Lu Chiyuan will bring Jiang Chen with him, and traveling together can save some driving time.

The top management of Xingyuan Entertainment received the news yesterday, and the whole company was on high alert. However, because Lu Mingxuan deliberately blurred the time when he sent the email, they saw that Lu Chiyuan did not arrive in the morning, so they were a little nervous in the afternoon, not sure whether he would still go.

Just when the senior executives wanted to leave, a colleague who had gone out to buy milk tea rushed back to the company and shouted "I'm here" as soon as he entered the door. The tense people calmed down and quickly got back to work.

The receptionist straightened his clothes and pretended to walk towards the elevator casually.

Ling Qi had just finished filming in City A. Seeing his colleagues, who usually seemed half-dead, now seemed to be full of energy, he couldn't help but be curious and asked Zou Xin, who was also working under the same agent, "What's coming? What happened?"

Zou Xin adjusted his hair in front of the reflective window and said, "Boss Lu is coming to inspect the company. I heard before that he is a major shareholder of the company, but I have never met him. I thought it was just a rumor."

Hearing Lu Chiyuan's name, Ling Qi instantly thought of Jiang Chen. He has been accompanying Lu Chiyuan to attend events recently. Lu Chiyuan is coming, so should he come too?

Zou Xin was very satisfied with his hairstyle. He turned around and looked at Ling Qi. Although they had the same agent, they did not have much interaction on a daily basis and could only be considered to be able to talk to each other.

Seeing Ling Qi's indifferent expression, Zou Xin thought of the gossip among colleagues and asked curiously, "They said you were recruited by Mr. Lu? Are you familiar with Mr. Lu?"

Ling Qi was alert and quickly denied: "Mr. Lu is very busy, do you think I can get in touch with him?"

The agent had informed Ling Qi before that Lu Chiyuan hated scandals and also hated people making a fuss about him, and told Ling Qi not to think of taking advantage of Lu Chiyuan's relationship, otherwise it would backfire.

Ling Qi knew the limits, and he later figured out why Lu Chiyuan helped him. It was not because he saw his talent, nor because he had commercial value, but because he believed in Jiang Chen's vision.

It would be better to say that Jiang Chen chose him rather than saying that Lu Chiyuan admired him.

Zou Xin sensed his defensiveness but didn't take it too seriously. In this circle, it's always a good thing to be more careful.

While the two were chatting, the elevator door opened and Lu Chiyuan and Jiang Chen appeared at the office door. The receptionist hurried forward, greeted them warmly, and led the way for them.

Lu Chiyuan was calm and composed, with no unnecessary expression on his face. The receptionist couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, and he felt some psychological pressure.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen, who was following beside him, was more easy-going, with a faint smile on his face, which effectively neutralized Lu Chiyuan's serious and cold attitude.

The receptionist was about to lead them into the reception room, but Lu Chiyuan said, "Are all the company management here? I need to have a short meeting. Can you take us to the meeting room first?"

Lu Chiyuan gave Xingyuan Entertainment time to prepare, so it was not a surprise inspection.

The receptionist was slightly startled. He felt that it was not a good idea to have a meeting right after he arrived. He took the person to the meeting room and, under the pretext of serving coffee, quickly asked someone to notify the management.

"Oh no, he's coming with bad intentions!" Zou Xin looked at the people in the office who were in a mess, feeling a little gloating.

Ling Qi glanced at him and said nothing. The two of them had work arrangements, and they were waiting for the agent to communicate with the management, but at the moment, it would probably be postponed.

As soon as Ling Qi finished his thought, his agent came out of the director's office in high heels with a bad look on her face.

Seeing that she was not going well, Zou Xin was not surprised at all and said, "I told him that he would not agree, but Sister Ning, you still don't believe me."

Zhuang Ningyu glared at him and said, "Don't you see who I'm doing this for? You're good in everything except exposure. The popularity you've accumulated before is almost gone. You're a singer, you should use your strengths instead of acting. Do you understand how to act?"

Zou Xin debuted as a singer through a talent show and has a beautiful ethereal voice. If the company is good at utilizing his strengths and allows him to release more albums, he will definitely become very popular.

But the company's top management was like a sick person, and arranged for him to act. There was a variety show about singing songs, but the company would rather give it to a useless person than to Zou Xin.

Zhuang Ningyu was so angry that she brought Ling Qi back and went straight to the company to ask the director for an explanation.

The director practiced Tai Chi the whole time, which made Zhuang Ningyu very angry.

Zou Xin knew that she was doing this for his own good, so he gave her the milk tea he had prepared to help her calm down.

"By the way, has anyone come to the company? I think the director is very anxious. If I don't leave now, I think he will kick me out."

Zhuang Ningyu took a big sip of milk tea to replenish his sugar intake, and then he felt like he was alive again.

Although Zou Xin didn't get her job back, she still didn't want to give up. She took the two of them out of the office area, still thinking of a solution.

"It's President Lu and Assistant Jiang." Ling Qi replied. He was calm and his tone was flat.

Zhuang Ningyu stopped and waited for the elevator. Hearing this, he turned around and looked at Ling Qi, as if thinking about something.

She has worked in this company for several years and has handled many artists, but in the end, besides Zou Xin, there was only another girl who was willing to follow her.

It's not that she doesn't have the ability, but she is too straightforward. She doesn't flatter the superiors or bully the subordinates. She doesn't allow the artists under her to take shortcuts or get tainted. But in this circle, some things are really hard to say. Coupled with the mentally ill senior management, it is difficult for the artists under her to go on. Many of them can't bear this hardship and can only say goodbye to her.

She once felt confused and hesitated whether to follow the crowd, but in the end she remained firm in her own way.

Ling Qi was kind of forced upon her by the director. At first she thought he was a troublemaker or something like that, so she was prepared for a tough battle. However, she didn't expect Ling Qi to obey instructions unexpectedly and never act on his own.

The only thing that made her uneasy was Lu Chiyuan. She was worried that there might be some explosive news over there, so she was always on guard.

But now the variety show she had negotiated for Zou Xin was assigned to someone else by the company, and her morale suffered a great blow. She suddenly felt that it was good for Ling Qi to have Lu Chiyuan as a backer. At least the company knew how to behave and would arrange a suitable job for him.

But before she finished thinking about it, Zhuang Ningyu remembered that Lu Chiyuan was blocking him from taking the role. She felt a heart attack again and asked weakly, "What are they doing here?"

Ling Que shrugged and spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know.

Zou Xin came over and lowered his voice, "Our company's performance is so bad, is President Lu here to withdraw his investment?"

Although Zhuang Ningyu didn't like the company's top management, the atmosphere among most of the colleagues was pretty good. She didn't really want the company to go bankrupt. She bit her straw and said vaguely, "What's the point of withdrawing investment? The top management should be replaced!"

"Mr. Lu, are you kidding? You have never been involved in the company's affairs before, so you may not know much about this."

In the conference room, knowing that Lu Chiyuan was going to interfere in the company's internal affairs, the smiles on the faces of several senior executives froze slightly and their expressions turned a little unsightly.

Tang Song, the general manager, was the first to stop smiling and questioned Lu Chiyuan's decision.

Lu Chiyuan sat in the main seat, looking at the financial statements displayed on the screen. The obvious losses made him frown and look gloomy.

"I'm not a philanthropist. I can't believe in your abilities. Since you can't do it well, I'll let someone else do it. What's the problem?"

Tang Song narrowed his eyes and stared at Jiang Chen with an unfriendly look. He had read all the hot news in the past two days and was not unfamiliar with Jiang Chen's existence.

From a bodyguard to an assistant, and now he wants to join the company, this young man's ambition is really extraordinary.

Tang Song sneered at this and snorted, saying, "May I ask, Mr. Lu, whose seat do you want him to sit in?"

Lu Chiyuan sat upright, tilted his head slightly to look at Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen's figure reflected in his eyes: "Where do you want to sit?"

Jiang Chen looked at Tang Song and said with a smile: "His position is very good."
