Lu Zhiwei walked very fast.
Shen Jinmo's leg had not fully recovered, and he was having trouble keeping up with her.
"Lu Zhiwei!" Shen Jinmo called out to her in a deep voice.
Lu Zhiwei stopped in her tracks without turning around: "Don't call me, don't follow me anymore, Shen Jinmo, someone like you will die a horrible death."
These words were like an ice dagger, completely creating an insurmountable chasm between Shen Jinmo and Lu Zhiwei.
She's on the other end.
He's on this side.
She won't turn back.
He couldn't get over it either.
"I just want you to soften up and bow your head to me, is that so hard?" Shen Jinmo's hoarse voice sounded pale and powerless.
"Absolutely not in this lifetime." Lu Zhiwei clenched her hands tightly at her sides.
"I have no intention of ruining Ruan Jizhou. The tax bureau has already investigated the actress in this drama, and it was only a matter of time before it was exposed. The Zhao Group has huge hidden losses, and the Zhao family has been trying to raise money everywhere. If they cannot repay the loan within six months, the Zhao Group will face liquidation. Even if the 200 million yuan you invested is used for reshoots, he will embezzle most of it, causing a serious decline in the quality of the filming. Moreover, he has made two preparations. He has already asked many investors if they are interested in acquiring the drama 'Yunxi Ji'. A buyout is inevitable. I am here to help you salvage your losses."
In the end, Shen Jinmo softened his tone first.
He told Lu Zhiwei everything he knew inside.
Rather than making Lu Zhiwei bow her head, he would rather see her not even want to look at him again.
After listening, Lu Zhiwei scoffed and glared at him coldly: "That sounds nice, using the pretense of saving the day, but actually you want to satisfy your desire for control and conquest. Once this drama falls into your hands, whether you choose to broadcast it or not will be up to you, and it will become a tool to manipulate me and Ruan Jizhou."
"..." Shen Jinmo was speechless after being scolded by Lu Zhiwei.
Indeed, he was used to being in control of everything.
But that doesn’t mean he can’t change.
"Give me some time, and I will change." Shen Jinmo frowned, and in front of Lu Zhiwei, he forcefully dismantled his pride and presented himself to her.
He would never have said such a thing to any other woman.
But alas, she is Lu Zhiwei.
He couldn't do anything about her, not at all.
"Why change it? Do you expect me to turn back? The Sahara Desert will no longer have sand, and the heavens will no longer send rain. Perhaps you can wait for that day."
Lu Zhiwei turned back to the private room without hesitation.
Shen Jinmo stood there, stunned: "..."
He pondered the two conditions Lu Zhiwei had just mentioned.
Well, that's harder to achieve than killing him.
Inside the private room.
Ruan Jizhou shook hands with General Manager Zhao and General Manager Xin, and then put away a signed contract.
When Mr. Zhao saw her return, he looked at her with a smile and said, "Ms. Lu, you can talk to Ji Zhou directly about your 200 million investment. I have no jurisdiction over it anymore."
After saying that, Mr. Zhao walked out of the private room with a smile, holding the contract.
Lu Zhiwei immediately understood what President Zhao meant.
She looked at Ruan Jizhou in surprise: "You bought this drama?"
Ruan Jizhou handed her the contract: "One billion."
Lu Zhiwei stared at the enormous number on the contract: "You..."
This is a considerable sum for an actor.
“It’s better to rely on yourself than on others. That’s what I learned from you. Besides, you think this show will be a hit, and I trust your judgment. What if it really does become a hit? I’ll be rich.” Ruan Jizhou smiled and patted Lu Zhiwei’s shoulder to reassure her.
"Transfer the contract to me, and I'll cover the cost." Lu Zhiwei knew that Ruan Jizhou had never relied on the Zhou family or taken a single penny from them over the years; all his resources and money in the entertainment industry were earned through his own hard work.
Ruan Jizhou pulled the contract back and hid it behind his back: "I can't share such a lucrative opportunity with you."
How could Lu Zhiwei not know that he was saying that on purpose?
This drama is facing a recast and reshoot, and the long delay has led to a drop in its popularity. Even with his award-winning actor's support, it will be more difficult for it to become a hit than other S+ dramas.
"Director Xin, thank you for your hard work on the rest of the filming." Ruan Jizhou asked Director Xin for help.
Director Xin, who had worked with Ruan Jizhou many times, was impressed by Ruan Jizhou's character and patted his chest to guarantee: "You are my boss now, I guarantee to complete the mission."
"Then I'll still invest those two hundred million without hesitation. I can't miss out on making money," Lu Zhiwei insisted, determined to invest.
"Alright, alright, my Miss Lu." Ruan Jizhou had no choice but to agree.
The two chatted animatedly as they left the private room.
Shen Jinmo, standing at the elevator entrance, followed them with his gaze.
His gaze grew increasingly somber and cold.
This resort has many renowned attractions.
For the purpose of discussing business, Mr. Zhao booked the entire resort for the day.
After Mr. Zhao left, he told them not to rush off, but to enjoy their time at the scenic area.
Lu Zhiwei also rarely has time to go out and relax.
With no outside tourists to disturb them, and with the resort's staff having signed strict confidentiality agreements, the resort is safe.
Ruan Jizhou is free to come and go within the resort.
Lu Zhiwei is pregnant and cannot participate in thrilling activities such as ferry crossings and rock climbing.
Ruan Jizhou could only accompany her for a casual stroll around the resort area.
The afternoon sun grew increasingly intense, and Lu Zhiwei's sun-exposed skin turned red.
"Wait for me a moment." Ruan Jizhou told her to stand still and wait for him.
Lu Zhiwei nodded: "Okay."
An endless expanse of lush green lawn is fenced off to form a high-end private horse farm.
