The next day, Jian Ruoxi woke up very early. Lu Jin had cried his pillow wet the night before and showed no signs of waking up.
"Knock knock knock!" Someone was knocking on the door early in the morning.
When Jian Ruoxi opened the door, she saw Su Ziyu standing there with a large bag of things in his hand.
"Ziyu? What brings you here?"
Su Ziyu went inside very familiarly and took out the items from the bag one by one and placed them on the table.
"I guessed you weren't in the mood to go shopping this morning, so I went and bought some things for you."
He saw it clearly yesterday: Lu Shen's special treatment of Jian Ruoxi, and the way Jian Ruoxi looked at Lu Shen was also different.
If he doesn't take the initiative, he might not have any chance at all.
When Lu Jin woke up, he saw Su Ziyu busy at work. He stood there for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Su Ziyu is no longer hiding his thoughts; it's all too obvious.
"Ziyu, we've been working together for so long now, and you've never brought me breakfast this morning." Lu Jin's eyes darted between the two of them.
"The old drunkard's heart is not in the wine, is that what you mean?"
After a night, Lu Jin had adjusted his emotions and reappeared in front of everyone, still the capable and efficient Director Lu.
But only Jian Ruoxi knew that no matter what happened, Lu Jin would continue to wait for Li Tianlei.
Jian Ruoxi picked up a small steamed bun and stuffed it into Lu Jin's mouth, "Eat your breakfast."
Just as the three were chatting and laughing, Su Ziyu's phone rang.
After hanging up the phone, Jian Ruoxi and Lu Jin clearly saw that Su Ziyu's expression was somewhat serious, and after hanging up, Su Ziyu's gaze finally fell on Jian Ruoxi.
"Ziyu, has something happened?" Lu Jin's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the phone call just now was related to Ruoxi?
"The call I just received was from my assistant. He said that the list of artists to be signed by Huarui this year has been finalized."
Upon hearing that it was about the list of contracts signed by Huarui, Jian Ruoxi couldn't help but feel nervous.
She said she didn't care, but she still hoped she could successfully enter Huarui.
"According to inside information obtained by Huarui, your name is not on the final list of signed artists."
Lu Jin's face showed undisguised disappointment. After trying for so long, was there still no way to get Ruoxi into Huarui?
"Furthermore, the assistant also found out that the chairman and other directors originally intended to add Jian Ruoxi's name to the list."
"Later, Jian Ruoxi's name was crossed out by Ran Jie."
Lu Jin lowered his head even further, unsure how to face Jian Ruoxi.
"Ruoxi, I'm sorry. It's all because of me. Otherwise, you would have been able to get into Huarui."
A nameless fire instantly rose in Jian Ruoxi's heart.
She would accept the outcome if she failed to join Huarui due to her own lack of ability.
But Ran Jie rejected her entirely because of his personal grudges, ultimately just to make Lu Jin feel even more guilty.
Ran Jie has gone too far!
"Xiao Jin, look up at me!" Jian Ruoxi straightened Lu Jin's body, forcing her to look at her.
"You've already helped me a lot. I'm on the list of candidates to be signed thanks to you. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have this opportunity."
She could see clearly who was right and who was wrong.
"But what about the list?" Ran Jie knew that Ruoxi was close to her, and with him at Huarui, he would never let Ruoxi in.
Her status as the eldest daughter of the Lu family actually did her a disservice.
"Xiao Jin, don't think too much about it. There's more than just Hua Rui in the entertainment industry. There's no rush to sign with a film and television company."
After calming Lu Jin down and finishing breakfast, Jian Ruoxi pulled Su Ziyu aside while Lu Jin was clearing the table.
Do you know where Ran Jie lives?
Jian Ruoxi inquired about Ran Jie, which surprised Su Ziyu.
"I know, but why are you asking him?" Does Ruoxi want to put in more effort regarding the list? Is she planning to ask Ran Jie herself?
Yesterday, with so many bodyguards from the Lu family surrounding him and Lu Shen threatening him, Ran Jie didn't utter a single word. Would going to his house to find him now be of any use?
Jian Ruoxi glanced at Lu Jin, who was busy working on the side, her eyes filled with heartache.
“I went there for Xiaojin, to get justice for her.”
Following the direction Su Ziyu pointed, Jian Ruoxi easily found Ran Jie's house.
Although his status is different now and he has made a lot of money by managing different artists, he still lives in the same rented house he used to live with Li Tianlei.
No one would have imagined that such an outstanding top agent would live in such a poor house.
When she arrived at the door, she didn't knock on his door directly. At this time, Ran Jie should have gone to Huarui Company.
She stood directly at Ran Jie's door, waiting for him to return.
"What? Knowing you have no hope of getting into Huarui, you're planning to try and get in through me again?" From afar, I saw someone standing at my door, and only when I got closer did I realize it was Jian Ruoxi.
He deliberately leaked the list to Su Ziyu's assistant so that Jian Ruoxi would know that being with Chen Jin would only lead to nothing.
“You’re wrong. I came to find you not because of the list.” Jian Ruoxi stood in front of him without any fear.
Ran Jie is quite tall, and Jian Ruoxi only reaches his shoulder, but the aura she exudes is by no means weak.
"Oh? That's unusual." Ran Jie looked her up and down with interest. He had originally thought that there were only two possible outcomes if Jian Ruoxi was removed from the list of signed artists.
Either Jian Ruoxi was furious, or there was a rift between her and Lu Jin.
However, judging from her current appearance, it seems she is neither.
"Didn't you always want to become a contracted artist with Huarui? Now you don't want to join anymore?" Huarui has an unparalleled status in the entertainment industry, and no new artist can resist the temptation of signing with Huarui.
Moreover, Jian Ruoxi had been stagnant for three years, and now that she's making her comeback, she needs this opportunity more than anyone else.
He didn't believe that Jian Ruoxi would be so aloof as to give up such a good opportunity so easily.
"I did want to join Huarui, but that was my previous idea."
"But now that I've seen what kind of people Hua Rui's so-called top agents really are, I'm very glad I didn't go in."
"Working under someone like you, I'm afraid I'll become corrupted by bad company."
Since Ran Jie became famous, he has been praised by many artists in the industry. Many artists hope that he can personally mentor them. It would not be an exaggeration to praise him to the skies. No one has ever spoken to him like this before.
"Jian Ruoxi, try saying another word? Do you really think I wouldn't dare to teach you a lesson?"
