Ah Jie knew that since the young master had said so, he had no choice but to go, and no one could persuade him otherwise.
"Yes, young master, I'll make the arrangements right away."
After A-Jie left, Lu Shen turned around and looked out the window, his thoughts drifting back to the time when he and Jian Ruoxi got engaged.
Because he was extremely unwilling at the time, he didn't give Ruoxi a grand engagement ceremony. He simply held a hasty event in his own backyard with his own family members.
It's really laughable when you think about it now; back then, the person he was thinking about was Li Anran.
Ruoxi
According to his original plan, he has now achieved his goal, but he is unwilling to even attend the engagement ceremony.
"Ruoxi, after seeing yesterday's news, you must be blaming me too, right?"
"It's my fault, I really did give you too little back then."
Now he wants to make amends but doesn't know where to begin.
It wasn't until the day of the variety show recording that A-Jie found a way to get Lu Shen in.
"Boss, we've found a solution, but it might require you to go through some trouble." A-Jie said, almost avoiding eye contact with his boss.
When the bodyguard below told him the idea, his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
How could this identity be fitting for their young master? He immediately gave his subordinates a severe scolding.
However, they reported that the boss gave them too little time and also required them to supervise the entire process.
There were only a few main actors and the host on stage, so it was really difficult to switch roles.
"What method?" Lu Shen waited for A-Jie to continue, but there was no follow-up.
"Boss, we finally found Xiao Hei, a staff member from the variety show set, to switch identities with you."
"Little Black?"
When Ah Jie saw the puzzled look on his boss's face, he knew that the boss didn't know much about Xiao Hei, so he took the initiative to explain to his young master.
“Young Master, ‘Xiao Hei’ is a general term for a type of staff member on this variety show. They usually wear black and help carry game props while the hosts and celebrities are playing games.” The more A-Jie spoke, the more frightened he became.
They simply couldn't imagine their young master serving others; it was too terrifying.
"You mean, people like Xiao Hei can go on stage?" Lu Shen didn't care about other things; he only cared about being able to stay by Ruoxi's side.
Ah-Jie nodded heavily. He had already asked about it clearly. Because of the needs of today's recording, when the artists were playing games, the staff member Xiao-Hei needed to assist them from the side at all times.
"Yes, that's fine. Although other staff members also have the opportunity to get close to the young mistress, we've calculated carefully that none of them are as long as Xiao Hei."
Lu Shen knew what they were worried about; they were afraid that he wouldn't be able to do these things because of his status as the young master of the Lu family.
Thinking about what Ruoxi had done for him over the past three years, his little sacrifice seemed insignificant.
He waved to A-Jie and the others, "Alright, no need to look for anyone else, just use Xiao Hei's identity."
Meanwhile, Ruoxi and her group were already on their way to the recording site of the variety show.
Ruoxi and Ziyu arrived a little earlier because they still needed to have their makeup and hair done.
When the car arrived, the program director personally greeted them.
"Welcome, it's not easy to get Ran Jie to agree to come here for his artists." In the past, he had to invite Hua Rui's artists three or four times before Ran Jie would even notice him.
But this time was different. He wasn't planning to mention it to Ran Jie, but he received a call from Ran Jie who said he was bringing two of the leads from a currently popular period drama.
These two had a subtle couple vibe during a recent live stream, and the buzz surrounding them hasn't died down yet, and now they're coming to my show. I guess I'm just reaping the benefits.
"It shouldn't be too much trouble for you to change the recording time to today, right?"
He looked for a lot of gigs that night, but few of them happened to be for today.
Left with no other choice, he approached the director and agreed to bring his artists to participate in the recording of his program, but he had one condition.
That means the recording time must be today.
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all!" the director quickly replied with a smile.
It was already a great honor for Ran Jie to bring his artists here. No matter how many requests they had, he would have to fulfill them all, let alone change the time.
"The stylists are all ready and can style Ms. Jian and Mr. Su at any time."
Ran Jie nodded in satisfaction; he was quite pleased with the director's efficiency.
Turning to Jian Ruoxi and Su Ziyu, he instructed them, "You two just go with the staff. I have something to discuss with the director."
Jian Ruoxi assumed it was about the upcoming filming, so she didn't ask any further questions and followed the staff directly to the dressing room.
Ran Jie asked the director in a low voice, "Are there any mystery guests coming tonight?"
This question completely baffled the director.
He didn't make any arrangements.
"Since you didn't make any requests, I didn't make any decisions on my own." He also wanted to form a long-term cooperation with Ran Jie in the future, so he didn't dare to make any decisions without discussing it with her.
No surprise guest?
Ran Jie began to doubt whether his judgment was wrong.
Does this mean that Lu Shen's real choice is still Li Anran's side?
The director noticed Ran Jie's furrowed brows and assumed he was dissatisfied with today's recording.
"Ran Jie, please take a look and tell me if there's anything else that needs to be changed. I'll make the changes as soon as possible."
Ran Jie waved his hand at the director, "That's all. Your arrangements are all very good. I believe the show will be well received after it airs."
"The director must have a lot to do next, so please take care and I won't bother you any longer."
He barely gave the director time to react before leaving and finding a random spot in the audience to sit down.
Knowing Ran Jie's temperament, the director didn't follow him any further and instead went to a few hosts to continue explaining the details.
After Ran Jie sat down, he turned on his phone, and sure enough, the headline news was about the engagement ceremony held by the Lu family.
The scale of the ceremony was probably unmatched by any other wealthy family.
"The Lu family really went all out for that Li Anran."
He had a sharp eye for people. Although he had never met Li Anran in person, he had seen her photos and immediately felt that this woman was no good.
It's strange. Jian Ruoxi scolded him so fiercely back then, how come he was defeated by a woman like this?
He followed the live stream camera and looked around. Almost all the celebrities were there, and even the old lady of the Lu family appeared on camera from time to time.
Lu Shen was the only one not seen.
"Lu Shen wasn't at the engagement ceremony, and there were no mystery guests at the recording. Lu Shen is really good at keeping his composure."
"He's not showing up at either side, does that mean Lu Shen isn't choosing either?"
No, probably not.
Perhaps Lu Shen has already arrived here.
