The director arranged for staff to drive Jian Ruoxi and Ran Jie.
"We can't possibly do that. We have our own car and can go back by ourselves." Jian Ruoxi wasn't used to troubling others too much.
Just as Jian Ruoxi was about to refuse, the two bodyguards stepped forward.
"Ms. Jane, actually, we offered to do it ourselves because we are your fans and wanted to personally escort you home."
"Yes, we hope Miss Jane can give us this opportunity."
Having said that, Jian Ruoxi couldn't refuse and had no choice but to agree.
Along the way, Ran Jie felt something was off about the two people. Were they really staff members of the production crew?
"You say you're Ruoxi's fans, but what dramas of hers have you all watched?"
The two bodyguards exchanged a glance; it was obvious that Ran Jie was trying to extract information from them.
"We've been keeping an eye on Miss Jian since her comeback." The two bodyguards recounted everything from Jian Ruoxi's first drama after her comeback to her recent variety show appearances, without missing a single word.
Ran Jie couldn't find any fault with it; his perfect answer seemed to have been prepared in advance.
Jian Ruoxi was flattered to find herself running into her fans while having a meal.
"Thank you for your support. I will work even harder in the future."
Ran Jie sighed and rubbed his forehead. He realized that Jian Ruoxi's intelligence was time-limited; sometimes she was smarter than him, and sometimes she was so stupid that he was speechless.
"Miss Jian, we've arrived." Two bodyguards escorted Jian Ruoxi home.
"Thank you, please take care on your journey."
After Jian Ruoxi got out of the car, the car became much quieter. The two bodyguards and Ran Jie didn't talk much.
Ran Jie crossed his arms, his eyes darting between the two people.
"Tell me, how many people did Lu Shen plant in that program team? It must be more than just the two of you." Lu Shen has done this kind of thing before; you can figure it out just by thinking about it.
The two bodyguards were somewhat puzzled. They had clearly prepared very thoroughly, and in theory, they shouldn't have been discovered.
“You guys may be good at other things, but when it comes to pretending in the entertainment industry, you’re a bit low-level. Of course, Jian Ruoxi is an exception because she can’t see through it.”
Jian Ruoxi is only wary of people with ill intentions; as for those who treat her sincerely, she doesn't think much about them.
Seeing that Ran Jie had seen through their act, the two bodyguards stopped pretending.
"Young Master did arrange some people to be with the production crew, but that's only to ensure Young Madam's safety and won't affect the recording of the show. Mr. Ran can rest assured about that."
"Furthermore, our young master also said that if Mr. Ran needs any help from us later, he can also come to us."
Ran Jie found it interesting; judging from the words of the two bodyguards, it seemed as if Lu Shen had known all along that he would see through it.
"Your young master's calculations are really accurate."
After explaining to Ran Jie, the bodyguard took a moment to report the day's events to Lu Shen.
"Young Master, we have safely delivered the Young Madam home."
"good."
Well, Lu Shen's men stopped pretending and started reporting his artists' activities directly to him.
What's frustrating is that he can't say much, and he might even have to keep it a secret for them later.
Before becoming an agent, no one told him that he would also have to work undercover.
The Lu family.
Lu Shen hung up the phone, and a smile appeared on his lips as he thought of Jian Ruoxi, who had already returned home.
As long as she is safe, that's all that matters. He can arrange everything else.
He walked slowly to the landline, pressed the answer button, and heard the conversation between Li Anran and the boss on the other end.
"Boss, is there something urgent that you're calling me now?" Li Anran asked, her voice trembling slightly.
She was staying at the Lu family's house, but it was different from her previous residence. There were servants coming and going, and she was really afraid of being discovered.
"Can't we contact you unless it's urgent? Li Anran, don't forget who put you in this position."
Li Anran naturally dared not provoke Lu Jianming at this time. She knew what kind of person he was. The maid she brought to the base last time never appeared again, did she?
If he becomes unhappy, he might even punish himself.
"I... I dare not forget. I will do whatever you command, boss."
"I need you to start working at the Lu Group as soon as possible." With the status of being Lu's fiancée, many things will be much easier.
Even before her engagement to Lu Shen, Li Anran was confident that Lu Shen would bring her into the company.
But now, it seems that this is not an easy thing.
Noticing Li Anran's hesitation, Lu Jianming became somewhat annoyed, "What, you're unwilling?"
"I'm willing. How could I not be willing to do something for the boss? I was just thinking about how to get Lu Shen to agree."
The Lu Group is not like the Lu family. Without Lu Shen's consent, one cannot simply enter. Even the old lady cannot make that decision.
"That's your problem. I'll give you three days to get it done as soon as possible." Lu Jianming hung up the phone quickly.
Li Anran absentmindedly put the receiver back in its original position.
The eldest son's demands are getting more and more difficult to meet. First, he insisted that she become the young mistress of the Lu family, and now he wants her to work for the Lu Group.
What is his ultimate goal?
Once the sound from the other end stopped, Lu Shen saw no need to listen any further.
He leaned back lazily on the sofa, pondering the conversation between the boss and Li Anran.
Then I called A-Jie and told him, "Notify the HR department that Li Anran will be reporting to the company tomorrow, and ask them to complete the formalities as soon as possible."
"Ms. Li will be working at the company?"
Ah Jie found it unbelievable. This woman clearly had ill intentions. Why would the young master agree to let her in?
"I reckon she'll be unable to resist contacting me tomorrow, and I'll definitely say yes."
How can we know what their ambitions are if we don't let the wolves in?
"Also, Li Anran is listening in on Lu's room; you can cancel that."
After learning that the old lady had prepared a room for Li Anran, Lu Shen installed a listening system in her room in advance.
He can hear any landline call coming in from outside, whenever he wants.
"Is it because Miss Li is no longer a suspect?" This was the only reason Ah Jie could think of.
Otherwise, why would the young master remove the listening device for no reason? Wouldn't it have been better to just keep watching?
"It was already intentional for them to eavesdrop once, so I don't think the person who did it will contact Li Anran in this way again."
The fact that they were able to discover their home surveillance system indicates that there are skilled hackers among their ranks.
"Found out? Impossible." A-Jie didn't believe Li Anran had such great abilities; something must have gone wrong.
“The other party deliberately wanted me to hear this; he just wanted to see if I would eventually agree to let Li Anran join the company.”
