What she didn't expect was that with so many legitimate channels available, Jian Mengyu chose not to use them and opted for the dangerous shortcut of unspoken rules.
"Ruoxi, if Jian Mengyu really succeeds in entering the entertainment industry in the future, will it have an impact on you?"
She had met Jian Mengyu before; she bore a striking resemblance to Ruoxi.
I have a feeling that there will be no shortage of trouble in the future.
Jian Ruoxi lowered her head in deep thought.
She couldn't say for sure, but one thing was certain.
A person like Jian Mengyu would definitely use everything around her that is available to her in order to achieve her goals.
Trying to ride her coattails is the most basic approach.
"I'll discuss it with Ran Jie after the party."
Ran Jie should have a plan for dealing with this.
Ran Jie was unaware that Jian Ruoxi had secretly assigned him more work, and he continued to persuade Su Ziyu.
"Ziyu, what are you hesitating for? This is a golden opportunity that you can only dream of."
Even if he personally humbled himself to beg the organizers, they might not even consider his young artists.
"I······"
He knew perfectly well how important this opportunity was to him.
If you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you'll get another chance.
But what about Ruoxi?
"Ruoxi promised me that she would tell me whether we should move after the party."
What if Ruoxi can't find him and chooses to continue living there?
"Since she's started looking for a place to live, she must have a reason for wanting to leave."
"We've waited so many days, what's a few more?"
Su Ziyu's heart stirred slightly, and he felt that what Ran Jie said made some sense.
It's not too late to ask Ruoxi for her answer when he comes back.
"Okay, I'm willing to go."
Twenty minutes later.
Ran Jie stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, watching Su Ziyu leave.
My phone rang at just the right moment, as if someone had installed a surveillance device on it.
Ran Jie picked up his phone and glanced at the flashing name on it, then couldn't help but laugh, "That's really timely."
He pressed the answer button.
"Hey, Mr. Lu, I'm starting to suspect that you've planted spies around me or Su Ziyu."
Lu Shen didn't have time to joke around with Ran Jie.
Has he left?
Now, only this one thing can influence Ruoxi's decision to move: by driving Su Ziyu far away, he will be even more confident in keeping Ruoxi.
"Don't worry, I knew how to persuade Ziyu the moment you made that offer."
He has worked with Su Ziyu for much longer than Ruoxi.
It's true that Ziyu likes Ruoxi, but he also knows that Ziyu truly values his career more than anything else.
When an opportunity that cannot be refused presents itself, Ziyu temporarily puts his feelings aside.
But it seems that Lu Shen is not like that.
No matter what, Ruoxi is always his number one priority.
"Well done." Lu Shen rarely admitted that Ran Jie was doing a good job.
"You knew I would help you?"
Lu Shen seemed to have everything under control regarding the outcome of this matter.
Whether he agreed or Su Ziyu chose to leave temporarily, Lu Shen was not surprised.
"You're not helping me, you're helping Ruoxi."
"Because you also want your artists to make the right choice."
"Clearly, in your opinion, I am the most suitable one."
Ran Jie chuckled to himself.
Such confident and arrogant words could only come out of Young Master Lu's mouth.
Moreover, he was right.
Anyone who truly cares about Ruoxi can tell to some extent.
Ruoxi still had feelings for Lu Shen, even though she never admitted it herself.
On the day of the reception, Lu Jin personally took charge.
"Find some elegant and sophisticated patterned tablecloths; these are too tacky."
"Desserts are fine, just put them over there."
"Don't bring the best wine, or my brother will scold me. But don't bring the cheapest either, or it will lower the standard of the party."
Lu Jin was used to directing people on film sets, and she was also very adept at directing the servants at home.
"Xiao Jin, is there anything I need to do?"
After changing her clothes, Jian Ruoxi came out and saw everyone hurrying around the hall.
"Miss Jane!"
As the servants ran back and forth preparing things, they tried to stay as far away from Jian Ruoxi as possible, for fear of bumping into her.
After all, Jian Ruoxi's left arm is still in a cast.
"Ruoxi, why aren't you staying in your bedroom? What are you doing out here now?"
Upon seeing Ruoxi emerge, Lu Jin rushed to her side, wrapping his arms around her to protect her.
"No need to be so careful. My arm is temporarily immobile, not crippled."
Now everyone in the villa treats her like a fragile bubble, protecting her with someone always by her side, no matter what she's doing, whether she's eating, moving around, or just sitting there.
"I'll see if there's anything else I can help with."
Everyone was busy preparing for tonight's party, and she was the only one with nothing to do, which made her feel quite embarrassed.
Lu Jin feigned anger, "What help do you need? You don't need to do anything. With so many hands, you're not worried about not being able to handle everything."
"You only have one task today: dress up your sister and be a good decorative vase."
Jian Ruoxi raised her arm, which was in a cast.
"Has anyone ever seen someone used as a decorative vase with a cast on?"
She had initially thought that given her current state, she shouldn't attend the party.
However, unable to resist Lu Jin and the servants' strong insistence, he changed into the formal dress.
"So what? I'll be the first to object to anyone who dares to speak ill of you."
Lu Jin bent down and gently stroked Jian Ruoxi's belly.
"Don't worry, nephew, your aunt will protect your mother for you."
"You must grow up quickly, grow into a strong young man, and support your mother."
A happy smile spread across Jian Ruoxi's face.
She was actually looking forward to seeing what the baby in her belly would look like when it grew up.
"Miss Jane, Miss, we have guests outside."
A hint of disgust appeared on Lu Jin's face. "Who are you? The party is still a long way off, and you're already here. Don't you know the rules?"
"Replying to Miss, it's President Zheng."
Mr. Zheng? That name sounds familiar.
Jian Ruoxi vaguely remembered hearing this name somewhere before.
Oh right, it's the person in front of Jian Mengyu on the invitation yesterday.
"President Zheng?" Lu Jin was silent for a moment.
If the Lu family doesn't invest in her new script, then President Zheng is her first choice.
If we offend someone now, then the investment will be ruined.
Lu Jin glanced at Ruoxi beside her. President Zheng must have brought Jian Mengyu with him this time. Coming so early, who knows what that woman is planning.
"Take President Zheng to the Lu family's hotel to rest, and tell them that the banquet is not yet ready."
After a while, the servant rushed back to report.
“Miss, Mr. Zheng said there’s no need for that. He doesn’t mind those things. Just give him a place to sit.”
