Jian Ruoxi was stunned by Lu Shen's words and stood there in a daze.
Is Lu Shen suitable?
That would be absolutely perfect.
Jian Ruoxi thought this to herself, hesitated for a while, but still didn't say it.
Although Lu Shen is now clearly suspected of using seduction and vocal manipulation on her, her reason prevails under the dual temptations.
To be honest, when Jian Ruoxi first saw the script, she felt a strong sense of familiarity.
The reason is simple: this script is so much like a story that actually happened between them in the past, and even the character settings are very similar to their real-life counterparts.
Especially since Lu Jin had mentioned that the script was based on a real-life prototype, she instantly felt an even stronger sense of déjà vu.
Regardless of anything else, in terms of the similarity between the male lead's character in the script and Lu Shen himself, Lu Shen is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate to play the male lead.
But what if we discuss other things?
The answer is obvious.
Given Lu Shen's status, he would absolutely not do such a thing. Nor could he do such a thing.
Sigh, thinking about it this way, why do I suddenly feel it's such a pity?
No, no, Jian Ruoxi, do you really want to trick Lu Shen into acting? Wake up! Putting aside whether Lu Shen can act or not, just the fact that Old Madam Lu knows what you've done will make you disappear from the entertainment industry forever!
Jian Ruoxi quickly banished all her thoughts and smiled brightly and mischievously at Lu Shen: "Young Master Lu, please don't cause trouble. You're more suited to managing the Lu Group. Our entertainment industry has nothing to do with you, so don't even think about it."
Although Jian Ruoxi's words were playful and her tone light, the underlying rejection was still quite clear. Lu Shen's eyes darkened, and he increased the distance between himself and Jian Ruoxi, asking in a detached tone, "Is that so?"
“Yes…” Jian Ruoxi noticed that Lu Shen was a little unhappy and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
The atmosphere between the two froze for a moment.
Oh no, what should I do? What should I say now? This can't just stay awkward like this, right? Ugh! I suddenly want to borrow Li Anran's mouth! After all, although this woman never says anything nice in front of me, she's really good at talking. She can say whatever she wants to people, and if she wants to, there won't be an awkward silence. She's perfect for saving the day in situations like this!
Wait, Li Anran?
Oh right! And Li Anran too!
"By the way, how's Li Anran doing lately? Is it really okay for her to stay at the Lu Group?"
Jian Ruoxi thought she was incredibly clever, managing to find a new topic. However, after saying those few words, it was clear she was genuinely worried about Li Anran's existence.
"Why are you suddenly asking about her? What, isn't it enough that she's causing you endless trouble at home? You actually have the leisure and energy to care about her situation at the Lu Group?"
Lu Shen raised an eyebrow, unsure whether to first praise Jian Ruoxi for her profound skill in managing to keep her composure despite Li Anran's daily difficulties, or to advise her not to worry so much and to just focus on her health and safety.
"Alright, stop teasing me whenever you get the chance. Tell me about her situation. I heard from Lu Jin that Li Anran practically controls the finance department now. It's almost become her personal domain. Even the finance director, Yang Quan, has to avoid her and doesn't dare to go against her."
Jian Ruoxi was a little anxious and couldn't help but gently pat Lu Shen, signaling him to stop talking nonsense and get down to business.
"Why does that girl Lu Jin tell you everything..."
Lu Shen was speechless at his own sister and couldn't help but complain. He then received a slightly warning and urging look from Jian Ruoxi.
Lu Shen readily changed the subject: "You don't need to worry about Li Anran's situation at Lu's Group. Everything she's doing now is just an illusion. Everything is proceeding smoothly according to my plan. Rest assured, she can only be smug for a short time. The finance department and the entire Lu's Group are not places for her to stay. She won't be able to stay in the company for long."
As Lu Shen spoke, he lowered his head slightly and lowered his voice.
Jian Ruoxi knew that this matter was of great importance and quite confidential, so she leaned forward slightly and listened attentively.
Hearing Lu Shen say that everything was going according to plan and Li Anran wouldn't be staying much longer, Jian Ruoxi finally felt much relieved. She breathed a slight sigh of relief, leaned back against the headboard, and smiled genuinely: "That's good. Since everything is proceeding according to your plan, I don't need to worry too much."
She believed that with Lu Shen's abilities and methods, he could definitely handle Li Anran's matter well. There was nothing he couldn't do if he wanted to. This was her trust in Lu Shen, and it was Lu Shen's strength that gave her the confidence to trust him so much.
"I've answered your question. Now it's my turn to ask you one."
Lu Shen crossed his arms and slightly raised his chin at Jian Ruoxi, "What are your plans for the future?"
When asked about her plans, especially by Lu Shen, Jian Ruoxi became noticeably more serious. She adjusted her posture, lowered her eyelashes, pondered for a moment, and then looked up at Lu Shen to answer, "The most urgent task is to deal with the current public opinion. As you know, for someone in my profession, the influence of public opinion cannot be ignored. The current public opinion is very unfavorable to me, and I must find a way to turn the situation around. Otherwise, my career may very well come to an end."
Lu Shen nodded, agreeing with her decision.
What Jian Ruoxi said can be considered common knowledge in the entertainment industry, and even he, as an outsider, could understand it.
However, given the current momentum of public opinion, it won't be easy for Jian Ruoxi to turn the tide.
"Managing public opinion is not easy. Do you need my help?"
Lu Shen asked her, then added, "If you need help, just tell me. Don't worry about anything else."
"No need, I've already thought of a way."
Jian Ruoxi shook her head, declining Lu Shen's offer.
"Are you sure you don't need my help?"
Lu Shen frowned and asked again.
"I really don't need your help. This is a matter of life and death for me, why would I lie to you?"
Jian Ruoxi smiled, a hint of helplessness in her expression. "I know this matter is complicated and difficult to handle, and it's normal for you to be worried. But can you trust me a little? I'm not stupid; I wouldn't make a decision on something this important without being absolutely certain. Don't worry, I will definitely handle everything."
