Chapter 166 Thorny Jungle, Fiery Rose
"What are you muttering about?" Li Shu glanced at Xi Wen.
"Ah~ it's nothing." Xiwen shook her head. "Sister Li Shu, after hearing what General Wen said, it seems like the special forces training is really going to be very difficult... I wonder if I can hold on!"
Li Shu chuckled and shrugged. "Just a few nice words, anyone can say those. She sounds so powerful, but does she really dare to train us like that? She's just giving us a warning today, afraid we'll rebel later!"
"Huh? Is that possible?" Xiwen was a little skeptical.
"Just you wait and see!" Li Shu raised an eyebrow dismissively. "Which of you sitting here isn't a superstar with millions of fans? If you really embarrass us, not only will your management company object, but even a single spit from each of you could be enough to launch a cyberbullying campaign against her!"
"Oh..." Xiwen nodded as if she understood.
The whispers and murmurs in the conference hall gradually subsided.
Director Zhao Dan cleared his throat, stood up, and said, "What Chief Wen said makes perfect sense. Let's do as Chief Wen says. I hope everyone can understand their place and face the challenges with the attitude of a new recruit! That's all for today. Go back and get some rest, prepare yourselves well, and be ready for the subsequent training and filming!"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, director."
"It's me who should be thanking everyone for their hard work!"
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the meeting ended, and everyone got up to pack their belongings and leave.
Wen Ni didn't rush to leave. She remained seated and looked at Liu Shuzheng beside her, saying, "Go back to the car and wait for me."
"Yes, sir!"
The number of people in the conference hall was dwindling.
In the end, only Cai Wenyou and Lu Jinye remained.
"Long time no see, Wen Ni. How have you been lately?" Cai Wenyou came up to Wen Ni first.
"Yes, I'm fine."
Wen Ni slowly stood up and nodded politely to him.
A shadow suddenly loomed over me.
Wen Ni turned her head and saw Lu Jinye, wearing a gray shirt and standing tall, standing over!
He had one hand in his trouser pocket, while his right hand, with its long, slender fingers, rested on the table in front of Wen Ni. His deep, dark eyes were fixed on Cai Wenyou with a wary and subtly hostile gaze.
“She can eat, drink, and drive fast; she’s living a very comfortable life, so Mr. Cai doesn’t need to worry about her.”
"I was asking Wen Ni, not you?"
Cai Wenyou was not to be outdone and met the challenge head-on: "Besides, Wen Ni is no longer your bodyguard. How do you know what she has done or how she is doing?"
“Even though she’s not my bodyguard now, I’m much closer to her than you are, so naturally I know more about her than you do.”
Lu Jinye's nonchalant remark made Cai Wenyou's face turn completely black, while Wen Ni's heart skipped a beat, and she pursed her lips without showing any emotion!
"You two have been in contact all along?"
"Mm." Wen Ni did not deny it.
“Of course.” Lu Jinye added leisurely, “My grandfather was just saying the other day that he wanted to invite Miss Wen Ni to visit. Oh, by the way, even the room where Wen Ni stayed is still the same, no one has touched it! If she wants to come and stay for a few more days, she can come anytime.”
“What…” Cai Wenyou’s lips turned slightly pale. “You two had been living together?”
"???"
Wen Ni sensed something was wrong and frowned as she looked at Lu Jinye's profile. "What nonsense are you talking about..."
“The flowers you planted in the front yard have all bloomed.” Lu Jinye suddenly turned his head to meet her eyes. “They are very beautiful.”
For a moment, it was hard to tell whether he was talking about flowers or people.
Cai Wenyou stood in front of them, watching their eyes meet, and he felt that his presence was somewhat superfluous!
"Wen Ni, I just remembered I have something to do, so I'll have to go now. I'll treat you to dinner whenever you're free!"
"Take care, Wen Ni and I have some private matters to discuss." Lu Jinye suddenly placed his hand on Wen Ni's arm, preventing her from looking at Cai Wenyou!
The tone emphasizes the word "private matter"!
Lu Jinye!
Seeing and hearing all this, Cai Wenyou's back teeth were sore from biting so hard that he turned around and left in a fit of anger!
Watching Cai Wenyou's figure disappear through the doorway.
Wen Ni pushed Lu Jinye's hand away, straightened the slightly wrinkled cuffs of her casual clothes, and said calmly, "Thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Lu Jinye looked down at her.
“You blocked Cai Wenyou for me.” Wen Ni’s eyelashes trembled slightly as she stared at the second button on his shirt. “After all, I’m not very good at this kind of thing.”
Lu Jinye's ambiguous words were probably just to help her out of a tight spot!
Thinking this way, Wen Ni's restless heart gradually calmed down.
"Help you?" Lu Jinye suddenly leaned down. "How do you know you're not helping myself?"
"Um?"
Looking at his handsome face so close to mine, it seemed as if something was about to burst forth...
My heart, which had just calmed down, started to race again, little by little!
She opened her mouth, about to speak.
But then they heard a creak from outside the door, followed by a slightly noisy commotion of laughter!
She turned around
The door to the reception room across the street was already open, and a group of men and women in suits and elegant formal wear, with smiles on their faces, escorted one person out!
The man was tall and slender, about the same height and build as Lu Jinye. He wore black trousers and a purple, rhinestone-studded shirt with the collar wide open, revealing his fair skin.
He is a Caucasian.
His appearance is also typical of a long face and a high nose bridge, with deep sapphire eyes that hold a faint smile, and thin lips with naturally upturned corners.
This face, in some ways, gradually overlapped with the person in Wen Ni's mind!
"Mr. Perth, I hope to have the opportunity to work with you again!"
"It's my pleasure." Perth smiled slightly, turned around, and his gaze swept over Wen Ni and the other person almost imperceptibly!
The sound... the sound is different.
So what? That person has always been a master of disguise!
Wen Ni watched him disappear from her sight with a blank expression.
"Familiar, isn't it?" Lu Jinye's voice was deep.
“Yes.” Wen Ni nodded emphatically!
"Then let's not miss any clues." Lu Jinye finished speaking, his voice rising slightly, "Qin Yuan!"
"I'm here, I'm here!" Qin Yuan quickly slipped in.
"Go check on that white man who just came out from across the street."
"Understood!" Qin Yuan immediately straightened his expression, took out his phone, and quietly followed after them!
For a moment, only Wen Ni and Lu Jinye remained in the conference room.
"You stayed behind after the meeting, is there something you want to ask me?" Lu Jinye turned around and sat down.
He was always like that; he could guess her thoughts and understand her intentions without her saying a word!
Wen Ni sometimes felt as if he could read her mind!
"That's right."
Wen Ni sat down next to him.
"Is the Lu Group the largest investor in 'The Brave Man'?"
“Your information network is very good.” Lu Jinye clasped his hands together on his lap. “Indeed, it was me.”
"Was it you who asked me to take charge of the troop handover?" Wen Ni asked again.
A mere filming session could command orders from higher command, reaching directly to the 76482 secret shadow unit.
Aside from the Lu family, Wen Ni couldn't think of anyone else with such extensive connections and influence.
“Being trained by someone and training someone else must feel different, am I right?” Lu Jinye raised his thin lips and turned to look at her.
"I knew it." Wen Ni gave a helpless twitch of her lips. "It does feel a bit different, but since we're training anyway, we might as well contribute to the military strengthening project!"
"It's not just for that."
Lu Jinye's eyes were as deep as the infinite universe, and Wen Ni would be momentarily lost whenever she looked into them!
His voice was deep and sensual; each word was like a seed planted in her heart, then blossoming everywhere and filling the barren land!
"I want to know everything you've been through."
"Walk the path you came from."
"Look at this thicket of thorns, where such a delicate, thorny rose has bloomed!"
