Hu Lan had no choice but to give up. He couldn't force the issue, but he told Jian Ruoxi, "If Xu Tong makes things difficult for you again in the future, come to me immediately."
"Probably not. He learned his lesson from the combined efforts of the Lu and Yu families this time." Jian Ruoxi continued to decline, not wanting to get entangled with Hu Lan any further.
Lu Shen also appeared from behind Jian Ruoxi: "Xixi, have you two finished talking?"
"We've finished talking. It's about Xu Tong. I just briefly mentioned it, and I'm leaving soon." Jian Ruoxi looked at Lu Shen obediently.
Although Hu Lan was jealous, she had no right to do so, so she could only get up and say to the two of them, "In that case, I'll be leaving now."
"Xi Xi, I've finally gotten my revenge." Lu Shen said arrogantly to Jian Ruoxi, looking at Hu Lan's dejected back.
"What are you venting your anger on?" Jian Ruoxi asked, confused.
Lu Shen feigned surprise: "Don't you know? You firmly rejected him this time. Look at the disappointment in his eyes."
"This time, however, you don't need anyone else to fund your personal studio." Lu Shenxi smiled broadly.
Jian Ruoxi couldn't laugh: "Yes, I don't need anyone else to pay for me, I'll pay for it myself, okay?"
"I'll definitely pay for it. I'll arrange a private studio for you, top-notch screenwriters, top-notch directors, and outstanding costume designers—I'll get them all for you." Lu Shen became more and more excited as he spoke, as if Jian Ruoxi had already become a movie queen.
He also called Ran Jie: "I've opened a private studio for Jian Ruoxi, and I've invited you to be in charge of its operation. You'll also be her agent."
Ran Jie was naturally more than happy to accept this. When he was in the company before, he not only had to take care of Jian Ruoxi, but also several other artists.
Now he only needs to focus on developing one person, which reduces his workload considerably. Even though he is in charge of operations at the studio, all the wages he earns go into his own pocket.
However, setting up a studio is not easy; it needs to be a microcosm of Huarui, small in size but complete in every aspect.
After much trouble, they finally found an accountant and accountant to get the studio up and running.
A few days before the studio's silhouette was unveiled, Lu Shen specifically sent messages to several big names, saying: "I would like to invite you to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Jian Ruoxi's personal studio."
President Lu personally invited them to participate, how could they not come?
On the one hand, it was to curry favor with the Lu family; on the other hand, Jian Ruoxi did indeed possess considerable strength and had earned their respect.
Jian Ruoxi stood in the very center of the ribbon, flanked by other big names, giving her ample face. There were also many media outlets present.
After the event officially began, many media outlets interviewed Jian Ruoxi, and of course, there were also many people surrounding the big names.
"Hello, Ms. Li, were you invited to Jian Ruoxi's studio?" the reporter asked.
Li Can, a bigwig in the film and television industry, said, "Of course, I am very honored to participate in Ms. Jian's opening ceremony. Moreover, I have had a brief collaboration with Ms. Jian before, and her work attitude is very admirable."
While exchanging pleasantries, Li Can handed the microphone to Jian Ruoxi: "I wonder what Ms. Jian's plans are next?"
After all, this was Jian Ruoxi's home turf, and she couldn't steal Jian Ruoxi's thunder. She cleverly signaled to the reporters to keep the conversation focused on Jian Ruoxi.
"I'll probably choose some lighthearted variety shows for the time being, and then I'll consider longer scripts after my pregnancy is over," Jian Ruoxi told the reporter, outlining her future plans.
However, amidst her joy, Jian Ruoxi noticed that Lu Jin, who was in the corner, didn't seem very happy. When reporters went to ask him questions, she forced herself to be energetic and conduct the interview.
But it was still clear that she was feeling down.
Jian Ruoxi first instructed the reporters: "You can talk to my agent about my future work. I have something to attend to."
After saying that, she walked over to Lu Jin and asked, "What's wrong? You don't seem very happy."
Lu Jin forced a smile and said to Jian Ruoxi, "It's nothing, I'm just too tired. The workload has been too heavy lately."
She didn't want her own affairs to affect Jian Ruoxi's mood. This was her opening ceremony, and with so many reporters present, she had to make the most of this opportunity.
"I'll talk to you later when it's over," Lu Jin told her to go about her business.
Jian Ruoxi had no choice but to leave first, and finally returned home after the ceremony ended.
Lu Jin was in the study telling Jian Ruoxi about what had happened before.
“Last time, Li Tianlei was humiliated by my brother, so I took him and ran away from home, thinking that the two of us could live our own lives.” As Lu Jin spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
Jian Ruoxi pulled out a tissue and wiped her face: "I believe in your abilities, and Li Tianlei's screenwriting skills are very strong."
“But ever since that incident, Li Tianlei has been avoiding me,” Lu Jin told Jian Ruoxi, explaining what had happened afterward.
Even if Lu Jin didn't explain, Jian Ruoxi understood Li Tianlei's mindset.
He simply felt that he was not good enough for Lu Jin. Lu Jin came from a good family, had a high level of education, and was a well-known director. No matter how capable Li Tianlei was, he could not compare to the power of the entire Lu family.
After Lu Jin ran away from home last time, she lived with Li Tianlei in a house outside, but it was not as big as the Lu family's house. He couldn't bear to see Lu Jin suffer with him, and he couldn't bear to see Lu Jin, a rich young lady, living in a small house and saying that she was happy all the time.
Li Tianlei felt inferior, so he avoided Lu Jin unless he had something important to deal with, in which case he would talk to Lu Jin.
Jian Ruoxi pondered how to prevent these star-crossed lovers from breaking up.
She thought that since she had set up her own studio, she should hire Li Tianlei.
Therefore, he said to Lu Jin, "How about this? Anyway, my studio has just been established and we don't have all the staff yet. I will talk to Li Tianlei in a while and ask him to be my exclusive screenwriter."
"Firstly, it will strengthen the studio's capabilities, and secondly, it will allow the two of you to meet again."
Lu Jin's interest was piqued by this plan, but she immediately lost heart: "But what about my brother? Will he agree?"
Jian Ruoxi said, "It's so that your brother can see it, so that he can see Li Tianlei's true strength, and that he can gain Lu Shen's approval."
Lu Jin nodded.
At the same time, the studio also issued an announcement, declaring that Yu Qi had become the ace stylist of Jian Ruoxi Studio.
However, Yu Qi and Li Tianlei met in the same studio.
Seeing his rival, Yu Qi was naturally unwilling to be outdone. He took the initiative to show off his extraordinary abilities and his stunning clothes, saying to Lu Jin, "You can use these clothes when you attend events in the future."
Li Tianlei then leaned closer to her and said, "Take a look at this script. I spent several days writing it."
