However, Jian Ruoxi remained very magnanimous throughout, not uttering a word even when she was being ignored. Instead, she called over a maid: "Go cut a plate of fruit, and also get a few throat lozenges."
But this action displeased the old lady: "Didn't you see they were talking business? You were speaking a bit too loudly."
Lu Shen protected her, saying, "It's alright, it won't bother you."
However, Jian Ruoxi felt bad about being scolded by the old lady, so she took the apple from the side, held it in her hand, and prepared to eat it.
Jian Ruoxi didn't understand what Li Rou and the others were saying, so she couldn't join in the conversation. Besides, there were a lot of technical terms, which sounded like gibberish.
Li Rou continued, "The market environment is quite sluggish right now, and many companies have no business, but the new energy industry is thriving and has been developing continuously."
"Yes, our company has also noticed this sector recently, but I haven't gotten involved yet." I had heard of this industry before, but I was too busy recently to get involved.
Lu Shen asked Li Rou, "Of these categories, which do you think are the most popular?"
“The energy storage sector includes different products such as battery cells, separators, energy storage batteries, and inverters. You can learn more about them,” Li Rou told Lu Shen.
Lu Shen asked Li Rou, in connection with the company's business, "What do you think about making energy storage batteries?"
"Energy storage batteries store electrical energy by converting it into kinetic or potential energy, including pumped hydro storage and air storage. The most widely used and mature technology is lithium-ion battery energy storage technology. However, we no longer need to touch lithium-ion batteries, as they have been developed very maturely in China."
Li Rou asserted.
"So, which industries do you think are worth relaunching? You have the technology, and I have the resources," Lu Shen asked her, knowing that no professional in this area knew as much.
"Now is the time for new energy to take off, and some business lines have made some adjustments. For example, new energy mobile phones have reached a stable period. I suggest starting with Sungrow Power Supply. Sungrow Power Supply, including solar energy, wind energy, and energy storage, is a key national high-tech enterprise."
The two talked for a while, then paused because they were thirsty.
Grandma Lu quickly interjected, asking Li Rou, "Have you graduated yet, child?"
“Yes, Grandma, I graduated from Huake University. Our school’s new energy major is ranked first in the country, and our teachers are also very famous professors.” As she said this, Li Rou glanced at Jian Ruoxi intentionally or unintentionally.
Upon seeing Jian Ruoxi, her expression darkened slightly; she knew she had achieved her goal.
When Grandma Lu heard that Li Rou was a graduate of a prestigious university and had outstanding abilities, she was very happy.
However, this gave Li Rou an opportunity. She asked Jian Ruoxi, "I still don't know which school Sister Jian goes to?"
Jian Ruoxi said, "I am just a graduate of an ordinary school, and my main focus is acting."
However, Li Rou comforted her instead: "Actually, no matter which school you graduate from, everyone is the same. Besides, acting is quite lucrative now, and many celebrities in the entertainment industry are not from professional backgrounds."
“Take Wang Heli, who is very popular now, for example. She graduated from an air hostess school. Although she only graduated from a junior college, she can now earn several million yuan for filming a movie.”
Although Li Anran outwardly praised people in the entertainment industry for making a lot of money, she actually looked down on them, believing that they could earn so much money without a diploma, thus corrupting the values of teenagers.
At the same time, Li Rou continued, "I envy people in the entertainment industry who earn a lot of money, unlike us who work hard every day and can only earn a meager salary."
Jian Ruoxi understood the implication in her words: "It takes us a long time to film, and it's normal for us to work day and night sometimes."
She said this to refute Li Rou, because filming actually requires a lot of time and effort, and it's not as easy as Li Rou made it out to be.
But Li Rou deliberately asked about Jian Ruoxi's father: "I've heard my sister mention your father before, but I don't see him today. I wanted to say hello to your uncle."
Jian Ruoxi suppressed her anger and said, "I have no contact with him. We have basically cut off all ties now."
"How could that be? My father and I get along very well. Is there some misunderstanding between you two? You should clear it up in person." Li Rou pretended to be understanding and advised Jian Ruoxi.
Jian Ruoxi refused directly: "My family affairs are none of your business." But she felt a mix of emotions. How could she not envy other people's happy families?
Moreover, Li Rou is a graduate of a prestigious university, while my own educational background is so low.
Grandma Lu found Jian Ruoxi's attitude extremely bad and thought she was an eyesore, so she began to drive her away: "Anyway, you're not going to do anything by staying there, so why don't you go back upstairs and rest?"
Jian Ruoxi made an excuse, saying, "I'm not feeling well either, I'll go back first, you guys chat."
After returning to the bedroom, I received a call from Cang Manrong.
"Thank you, Xixi, for lifting the ban on Hu Xuezhi."
On her way home, she texted Lu Shen, hoping he wouldn't blacklist Hu Xuezhi. At first, Lu Shen disagreed: "He's done so many wrong things, blacklisting him is already too lenient for her."
However, Jian Ruoxi woke him up from another angle: "Cang Manrong is Hu Xuezhi's cousin and also my mentor. She came to me personally to plead for her."
Seeing this, Lu Shen understood. Jian Ruoxi was very kind-hearted and loyal. To her, Cang Manrong was no less a mentor.
Therefore, Lu Shen had no choice but to agree and notify the company to remove Hu Xuezhi from the list of those who had been suspended from service.
Upon learning of this news, Hu Xuezhi immediately notified Cang Manrong.
In return, Cang Manrong gave Jian Ruoxi a new opportunity: "I have also contacted a Hollywood production team, and I will recommend you to them. This is a very rare opportunity to work together."
However, because Hollywood is essentially a monopolistic industry in country B, it is extremely difficult for actors from other countries to appear on screen.
So Cang Manrong said to Jian Ruoxi, "However, you'll only have a supporting role in the movie. Be prepared, and the way movies are filmed in China is different. Can you accept that?"
Hollywood is considered the pinnacle of the film industry and an essential gateway to the international stage.
Although it was just a supporting role, I was very satisfied to play Jian Ruoxi.
So he agreed to Cang Manrong's request: "I'm willing to take the role, teacher."
Cang Manrong explained to her, "But, child, I have to give you a heads-up."
“This movie is a science fiction film. In addition to being suspended by wires and covered by green screen, it also needs to be filmed in a very remote place where the infrastructure is very poor. You are pregnant now, so it is not suitable for you.”
Jian Ruoxi also hesitated. Medical care and sanitation in remote areas are definitely not up to par. If an accident happens, even a god can't save her.
