Chapter 421 She Became a Sasaeng Fan
"That's fine too."
Wen Ni agreed readily and decisively.
But just as she was about to turn and leave, she seemed to see Tang Zi's disappointed face appear before her eyes, scolding her:
Wen Ni, oh Wen Ni! What did I ask you to come here for? You've really become a delivery person! Don't you want to see Lu Jinye? You can't even handle such a basic dating task, do you deserve your rank of major?!
Although it's unclear how this relates to her military rank...
But Wen Ni knew she couldn't afford to be inferior to anyone, much less be told she was incapable. Even something as trivial as love required careful handling!
"What's wrong? Is there something else?"
Seeing that Wen Ni had stopped in place and hadn't left, the secretary couldn't help but ask her.
Wen Ni turned around decisively, hugged the dumpling lunchbox to her chest again, and said in a light tone, "How late will his meeting end? I'll wait for him here."
"Well... it's really hard to say."
The female secretary looked somewhat embarrassed.
"Our CEO Lu has been busy until very late these days, sometimes until midnight..."
Why are you telling her so much?
The male secretary nudged the female secretary with his elbow and muttered, "Although President Lu has retired from the entertainment industry, he still has countless stalker fans. Aren't there plenty of them who come here under various pretexts and identities and refuse to leave? If she wants to wait, let her wait! Whether she can see President Lu or not is entirely up to her fate!"
"oh……"
The female secretary nodded slowly, gave a standard smile, and stretched out her arm. "Then, ma'am, please wait in the lounge. There's tea and snacks inside; you can help yourself!"
"Okay, thank you."
Wen Ni nodded politely and turned to leave.
The lounge is separated by frosted glass partitions.
From the outside, you can see blurry figures inside.
Pushing open the door, I was surprised to find three girls inside.
The table in front of them was covered with various cards printed with Lu Jinye's name, as well as photo merchandise, making it look like a small fan meeting!
Wen Ni walked to an empty seat on the inside and sat down.
"Hey, are you a fan of Brother Lu too? A... die-hard fan?" The girl in the plaid shirt on the left leaned over, her curious eyes scanning him up and down. "You're so pretty, and you have such a great presence!"
"Thank you," Wen Ni nodded.
"Pfft, but you're quite the genius to think of sneaking in disguised as a food delivery guy!" The pink-haired girl on the right covered her mouth and teased.
"..." Wen Ni tapped her fingers on the table, then asked after a moment's thought, "How long have you been waiting here?"
“I’ve been coming here every day for about five days now.”
"I'll be here for three days."
"I've only been here for one day."
The three of them each said one sentence.
Wen Ni blinked and asked again, "Did you see Lu Jinye?"
"No, not even once!"
When this was mentioned, the three of them became dejected and lost their spirits.
"To be precise, we didn't even get a glimpse of his profile. Ever since Brother Lu officially announced his retirement from the entertainment industry, his entire fan club disbanded on the spot, leaving only a few super fans like us who are still hoping and wishing that Brother Lu could return to the film and television industry! Unfortunately, Brother Lu's retirement was also very thorough and ruthless, not even giving us a chance to see him!"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah!" The girl in the plaid shirt offered two bags of snacks to Wen Ni. "Here, have some. I've tried all the snacks here in the past five days, and these two are the absolute best!"
"……Thanks."
Wen Ni had nothing to say but kept thanking him and casually opened the snack packaging.
"Friend, you've been staking out here for five days, have you run into that real girlfriend of the Chinese entertainment industry? You mean, the one Brother Lu officially announced his sweetheart to!"
"cough!"
Wen Ni, who was listening nearby, almost spat out the snack she had just put in her mouth.
"Don't get excited, don't get excited, I know everyone gets angry when they mention that 'sister-in-law'! Quick, quick, have some soda to calm your nerves!" The girl in the plaid shirt thoughtfully handed Wen Ni a bottle of soda before continuing, "However, I haven't seen any 'sister-in-law' in the past five days. I overheard his colleagues talking about how Brother Lu is always busy until very late, and there isn't a single female around him!"
"Brother Lu's sudden announcement of his relationship stunned everyone in his company. Because, no one had ever seen this movie star's sweetheart!"
"Could it be that this person doesn't even exist?" The pink-haired girl covered her mouth in surprise. "That Fanxi was pursuing Brother Lu too relentlessly, annoying him, so he deliberately said that he had someone he liked?"
"That's great! It means I still have a chance." The girl in the plaid shirt's eyes lit up.
"You?" The pink-haired girl puffed out her chest, showcasing her impressive figure. "I think I have a better chance than you~"
"..." The other girl didn't like to say anything, but she still quietly tidied her appearance.
"Hey beautiful, who do you think is prettier, the one in the plaid shirt or the other?" The girl in the plaid shirt turned to Wen Ni and said, "Choose one, only one, the type you think Lu Jinye would like!"
"I think you're both quite good-looking." Wen Ni held the snack bag and smiled tentatively. "But good-looking as you are, is it possible that Lu Jinye's type might be someone like me?"
"You? Impossible!"
The two girls instantly formed a united front.
Wen Ni remained silent: ...
"You seem like the assertive type of girl, while Lu Jinye is quite aloof. He'd probably like the cute and gentle type."
"Exactly! Two very strong people together must be exhausting!"
"I know a woman who was too domineering and wanted to control everything. In the end, her husband couldn't stand her and divorced her!"
"Really? Oh dear, that's quite a tragic fate..."
The two of them were chatting enthusiastically.
Wen Ni felt sleepy and simply lay down on the table and fell asleep.
She didn't know how long she slept, but when she heard a series of noisy footsteps, she groggily raised her head, her forehead flushed red.
The two boxes of dumplings on the table had long since slumped together and gone cold...
"It's already five o'clock, which is our company's designated closing time. You can't stay here any longer~" The female secretary pushed the door open with a friendly smile.
"Five o'clock?" She had actually slept all afternoon.
"As expected, today was another fruitless day!" The girl in the plaid shirt and the girl with pink hair sighed and resignedly packed their things to leave.
Wen Ni remained seated, the red mark on her forehead still visible, her expression indifferent. "Has Lu Jinye not finished his meeting yet?"
"You actually called Lu Jinye by his name directly." The fan girl who was packing her things looked up in surprise. "And the tone you used, it sounded like you were going to fight him! You're not a sasaeng fan, are you?"
"Stalker fans!" The group was on guard.
"Why haven't these people been cleared out yet?" The male secretary rushed over anxiously, then stopped abruptly, his brows furrowed as he whispered, "President Lu will be downstairs soon. Don't let him see these people and upset him!"
"I... I want to get rid of them now, but it's too late!" The female secretary gripped the doorknob tightly.
Outside the door, steady footsteps could be heard getting closer.
