Chapter 78 Chapter 78 Civilized Use of Monkeys
In the end, Lu Xuan still spent the little remaining money from his film remuneration and treated Lu Jinzhi, the monkey, to a meal for the first time in his life.
On the way home, he sat in the back seat, staring at the backs of the two heads in front of him in disbelief.
Although they hadn't spoken all the way, he had an inexplicable intuition as to why Lu Jinzhi was talking about quitting, but his relationship with Qiao Wu was getting better and better.
What dream does Lu Jinzhi need to pursue? To become the richest man in the world?
He racked his brains.
Then it suddenly dawned on me that this was very possible!
Qiao Wu said that if she didn't live up to her expectations, she would find another partner. Judging from the fact that Lu Jinzhi had been secretly having an affair with her in the library for a long time, he might not have any bad intentions.
When he was a child, he didn't allow others to touch his things, and the same was true for Qiao Wu.
So he must want to become the richest man in the world to keep Qiao Wu!
Tsk.
Compared with Lu Jinzhi's dream, Lu Xuan felt that his dream seemed more realistic, at least he could achieve it soon.
ha.
Let him try his best.
Lu Xuan thought to himself that he was happy, and the heavy mood he had been feeling for several days was swept away. Now he felt that sitting in Lu Jinzhi's back seat was acceptable, and he hummed in a very good mood.
The car stopped at the door and Qiao Wu got out first.
Then Lu Xuan walked around to Lu Jinzhi and patted his shoulder meaningfully: "I wish you success."
Lu Jinzhi raised his eyebrows almost without noticing.
Qiao Wu: “…”
Seeing Lu Xuan floating back home with the script in his arms, with a deep back that seemed to see through everything.
She asked with a puzzled look on her face, "What did he say?"
Worried that Lu Xuan would notice something, she ignored Lu Jinzhi along the way and didn't let him do anything out of line, which ended up making Lu Xuan happy.
Lu Jinzhi handed the car keys to the driver and smiled, "He wished me success. What did you say he wished me success for?"
"If he really knew, you two could have a fight right here."
Lu Jinzhi remained noncommittal about this. Although he didn't mind his family knowing about these things, these immature puppies were indeed difficult to control.
"He'll find his own logic to convince himself." He didn't seem to worry about what Lu Xuan might think, and said lightly, "Don't try to empathize with a different species."
Qiao Wu felt that he seemed to have some truth in his words.
"Who says you don't understand them?" she said. "You know them quite well."
"I'm used to it." Lu Jinzhi walked towards the door with her.
Just before entering, Qiao Wu suddenly remembered something: "I promised Lu Ning that I would take her on a trip after her final exams. We need to go to Heqian Village again after the New Year, so the trip is planned before the New Year. It will take about five days. Is there anything you need me to do in advance?"
Even if she has to do so many jobs at the same time, she has to balance her work time and not neglect one for the other.
Qin Tianrui is temporarily in charge of the entertainment company. The two of them hold video conferences every day, so there are no major problems.
But the official seal of the foundation is mainly kept by her. If there is no special need, she will let Guo Liyan keep it on her behalf.
Lu Jinzhi was unusually quiet for a few seconds, amused by her businesslike attitude: "I thought you were going to ask me if I wanted to go with you?"
"Doesn't the company have a holiday before the New Year?"
"But I'm the boss." Lu Jinzhi looked at her with interest, "Now let's see if you want to invite me to go with you."
In the past, Qiao Wu would still be polite to him, but now she felt that she didn't need to say anything, Lu Jinzhi would fill in the gaps on his own, or say that they were a family.
She laughed: "If I don't invite you, will you not go?"
"No." Lu Jinzhi said calmly, "But the meaning is different."
"Same." Qiao Wu didn't indulge his bad habits. "This is a family trip. Lu Yingchi will go too."
Lu Jinzhi had already accepted the fact that he hadn't received the expected answer. He said lazily, "Are we going on a trip or herding?"
Qiao Wu gave him a particularly meaningful look and said, "Let them graze."
The teasing in her eyes was so obvious that Lu Jinzhi couldn't ignore it. He narrowed his eyes and said, "I really seem hopeless."
After Lu Ning said this to him, she rode the four-wheeled vehicle for several days in a row.
But when Qiao Wu said something to him, he would actually think it was a sign of intimacy and find it cute.
Hearing his unspoken meaning and preventing him from saying anything more frivolous, Qiao Wu turned and left: "Drink some Chinese medicine to recuperate."
In order to finish his work before everyone finished their exams, Qiao Wu worked overtime for several days in a row before he had time to fly on a business trip with Qin Tianrui and attend a dinner party.
"It won't cost that much." Qin Tianrui flipped through the plan on the way to the hotel. "It's just a small production. How could a capitalist pay people as much as you do?"
Qiao Wu: "The extra amount is my personal donation."
Qin Tianrui looked sideways at her and sneered, "You really raise him as your son."
The dinner party they were going to was held by a production team formed by a few recent college graduates, the same crew that Lu Xuan had just successfully auditioned for the male lead. Qiao Wu had already decided to invest in these newcomers.
Qin Tianrui, who was exploited by Qin Lian every day, found it difficult to understand why Qiao Wu, who had no blood relationship with him, could be so diligent and give away all his cards and remain unknown behind the scenes.
So Qin Tianrui felt that it was completely reasonable for him to be jealous of the Lu brothers. How come all the good things happened to them?
He closed the plan, out of sight, out of mind: "He made the choice himself, why do you care if he eats coarse food?"
"If you were to go to the mountains to do a geological survey and you had no money, what would you do?"
"Let her die there." Qin Tianrui's face darkened. "How could she be so poor? And how could this be the same?"
"Same." Qiao Wu said with a smile, "You allow her to run around the world, isn't it because you gave her the confidence to be safe in advance? It's the same for me."
In Qiao Wu's opinion, some bitterness can be endured, but some bitterness is unnecessary.
It is enough for Lu Xuan to rely on himself to improve his acting skills, get an opportunity on his own, and bear all the effects brought by this project.
As for adding an extra dish to the crew's lunch boxes, an extra diamond to the hotel, and more sophisticated and safe props, these are secondary.
So she doesn't mind adding a little icing on the cake.
But there was no need to let Lu Xuan know, she was just an outside investor.
Soon the two arrived at a hotel that was better than the crew's, and the private room was already filled with the entire team's main creators.
Seeing Qiao Wu and Qin Tianrui coming over, everyone was a little reserved: "Boss Qiao, Boss Qin."
"Please sit down." Qiao Wu looked at the person in the middle. "Director Lin Tiao?"
Lin Tiao couldn't help but feel excited. She was actually called the director!
"It's me." Lin Tiao shook hands with her, her face still showing some innocence of a newcomer to society. "Mr. Qiao, I didn't expect you still remember me."
The last time she sneaked into the dinner party, she actually wanted to find an opportunity for herself and find an investor.
But unexpectedly, no one would even look at her. Everyone's attention was on the drunk young master of the Lu family on the sofa, and the young woman next to the young master Lu.
Lin Tiao didn't even dare to think that she could get close to that kind of person.
But what she didn't expect was that Qiao Wu actually managed to get rid of all those who had ulterior motives by himself, and just sat on the sofa with a calm expression, looking through the scripts and plans he had obtained, and reading them very seriously.
So she hesitated for a long time, and with a desperate mentality, she took the initiative to step forward and offered her own share among the many plans.
She hadn't received any news at first, so she thought the plan would be shelved.
Until recently, I received a call from Qiao Wu, who was willing to invest.
This was a stroke of luck for their small group.
After Qiao Wu sat down, he saw that everyone was uneasy, so he asked, "Can I see Lu Xuan's audition video?"
Lin Tiao and the others had already prepared all this and immediately took out their computers and handed them to Qiao Wu. Lin Tiao was very embarrassed: "Teacher Lu's acting skills have improved a lot, and... the image is quite suitable. Why did you only give me one audition requirement?"
Although they are newcomers, they have certain requirements because they have put a lot of effort into writing the script.
When we were looking for investors, it was just an investment. We didn't mean to ask people to spend money to put the leading role in the crew. At most, it was a small supporting role. That's why many people rejected it.
But they were all very stubborn and determined young people chasing their dreams. They refused to turn back and started to stay in the film academy every day looking for suitable students.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Wu's only requirement for investment was to give Lu Xuan an audition opportunity, just an opportunity, and whether it would succeed or not was entirely up to them.
"I don't invest at a loss." Qiao Wu laughed as he watched the video. "If his acting was terrible and you still chose him, I would let him go."
Everyone: “…”
For a moment I didn't know whose side you were on.
The last time Qiao Wu saw Lu Xuan act was when he was on a variety show. Even though he won the Improvement Award in the end, his acting was still a bit awkward.
But after training with Jiang Qi these days, he has made even greater progress.
Even without a costume, you can tell what the play is about from his eyes.
A small crew like Lin Tiao's couldn't hire any big names, and most of those who came to audition were newcomers or internet celebrities, so considering his appearance and acting skills, Lu Xuan was indeed a very suitable candidate.
Qiao Wu finally felt relieved: "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
"In addition to your contract, I have drafted another contract here. It's my personal contract." She took the contract that had been cricketed for a long time from Qin Tianrui's hand, "This is my personal living sponsorship for your entire crew."
Everyone was shocked.
College students who have just entered society have very clear eyes and minds.
"Mr. Qiao!" Lin Tiao said hurriedly, "You must have misunderstood. Our original contract already included living expenses for the crew and actors."
"No." Qiao Wu handed the contract to her. "The agreement we reached with you before was the biggest concession we could make from a business perspective. We were going to participate in the profit sharing, but we won't participate in this one."
Lin Tiao flipped through the contract and read it one by one.
But in fact, the most eye-catching ones are the first few.
"First, ensure that actor Lu Xuan is treated fairly during his time on the set;
Second, ensure that actor Lu Xuan's living and eating conditions are at a reasonable standard during his time on the set..."
It’s all related to Lu Xuan.
It feels like a special meal, but not really.
Because the so-called fair treatment means that you should endure hardships when you should endure hardships and enjoy happiness when you should enjoy happiness.
It seems that this money is basically given away for free.
They would never have dared to think of this in the past. They had to be frugal with costumes and props, for fear that the investors would think they were asking for too much.
Half a year passed, and no one was willing to invest in them. They had almost used up all their savings for this group. Even today's meal was paid for by several people. They vowed to give the investors a decent dinner.
Lin Tiao was so excited that she was speechless. She held the contract for a long time and didn't think of signing it.
Finally, he picked up the full wine dispenser and blew into it: "Boss Qiao, I'll drink it. Please feel free to do as you please!"
Qiao Wu didn't like to get too drunk, but Qin Tianrui lost himself in the repeated calls of "Mr. Qin". They were a group of people of similar age, and after drinking, they were arm in arm and called each other brothers.
No one can persuade him.
"You know what," Qin Tianrui said, burping and pointing at Qiao Wu. "I'm happy today. I signed the contract in front of her myself. I've accomplished something! I've finally washed away my shame!"
Qiao Wu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
She just thought that Qin Tianrui appeared more often, so she gave him this opportunity. Why did she let him feel superior?
And why is he still thinking about doing serious things in front of her?
"Don't try to persuade me," he said. "I can only drink with her around. Otherwise, my brother would beat me. My brother's belt... is so wide and long."
After a pause, he turned his head and looked at Qiao Wu with a sad face: "Have you ever been hit by a belt worth hundreds of thousands of dollars? I can now tell the price of a belt by the thickness of its material and the sound it makes when it hits me. My dream used to be to make a lot of money, and then! Buy every belt in the world!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they praised him: "Boss Qin, what great ambitions!"
Qiao Wu felt that if she stayed any longer, she would be assimilated by these people. She was also afraid that Qin Tianrui would come and hug her legs and cry about Qin Lian's ten crimes.
She made an excuse to leave the private room, intending to call Qin Tianrui's driver who was waiting downstairs and ask him to come and pick her up at the appointed time.
Whenever the two of them go on business trips together, Qin Tianrui is his assistant, so he won't bring any extra people with him and can only call a driver.
The call had just ended when Lu Jinzhi's video call came in.
He should have just returned home. The background is a dimly lit room. He has been basically weaned, but Wuwu, who is still kept in his room, is very active now and keeps climbing on him.
He lowered his eyes to look at the furry ball, leaned back slightly, let it climb onto his shoulder, and skillfully pushed away the cat's mouth that tried to lick his face.
Qiao Wu looked at it with envy. She also wanted to let Wuwu crawl, but Lu Jinzhi now treated the cat as a hostage. She had to go to his room every time to enjoy it for a while.
She said sourly, "Can you cherish the days when it is still willing to stay with you?"
"Smelly." Lu Jinzhi didn't hide his disgust at all, "You don't have to be here either."
"Then you can just leave it in the room and put it in my room."
Lu Jinzhi rejected this suggestion without even thinking, and said slowly: "Then I can't catch it, woo woo."
Maybe the "wuwu" sound used by other people may have some ambiguity, but not Lu Jinzhi.
He just called the cat "Mao". The name "Wuwu" seemed to have opened up a certain connection in him and became his exclusive name for her.
Only two people could understand.
The voice coming out of the receiver was even clearer in the quiet environment. Qiao Wu felt the alcohol she had just drunk was coming up. She looked away from Lu Jinzhi and looked at Mao: "Lu Ning, you know that you are talking so high-soundingly, but is this really your intention?"
"You don't allow me to say it?"
He could have interpreted a perfectly good thing in two different ways. Qiao Wu glared at him angrily and said, "You should go teach Lu Ning Chinese."
"It's quite exhausting." Lu Jinzhi said truthfully.
Seeing her ears flushed, his eyes darkened and he asked, "Isn't it over yet?"
"It's almost done. It's nothing. I'll be upstairs in a minute and back to my room." Qiao Wu's ears felt hot from being stared at. He rubbed them unconsciously and added, "Today is really peaceful."
Lu Jinzhi laughed: "I'm not here to make sure you're safe."
"What is that?"
Lu Jinzhi rubbed the kitten's head with his hands. His big, broad hands completely covered the kitten's head, but he slightly bent his fingers and gently rubbed the kitten's ears with his fingertips.
He whispered, "It's an excuse to see Wuwu."
Qiao Wu felt that the intense gaze in his dark eyes was even more lingering than the lingering smell of alcohol, so he quickly changed the subject: "Guo Liyan told me that his family has been in trouble lately. Was it you who did this?"
Lu Jinzhi's expression was indifferent, and his silence represented his agreement. He didn't want to mention this family, and he didn't need to do anything. It was just a matter of a few simple words.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"That's not necessary."
Normally, Lu Jinzhi would not focus his attention on Guo Liyan's family. He was waiting in the parking lot that day and must have heard something.
But he won't do anything for Guo Liyan, so it can only be her.
"I didn't take them seriously." Qiao Wu said, "I already dealt with this matter that day, you don't have to..."
Knowing what she was going to say, Lu Jinzhi interrupted her for the first time: "I don't want to hold your hand."
Qiao Wu: "Hmm?"
"I know you can handle it, and you don't need me." Lu Jinzhi let go of the kitten and put on a serious look, "But woo woo, you don't keep your promise."
Qiao Wu was confused: "Me?"
Breaking one’s promise?
She didn't promise Lu Jinzhi anything, right?
"You said we would move forward together." Lu Jinzhi looked at her, "but you are always alone."
Qiao Wu was stunned.
"You said the Lu family is a giant ship. It can't just have an engine. It also needs a captain, a mate, and a pilot. What about you?"
He sat forward, closer to the camera: "You can't think you can just drive a speedboat and get away on your own."
The slight drunkenness seemed to be getting worse, and Qiao Wu's mind was a little slow to think. He just stared at the person in the camera quietly, unable to make a sound.
Lu Jinzhi was on the other side, the warm orange light reflected on his face, adding a bit of indescribable seductiveness to him.
He tilted his head and said, "I thought walking together meant supporting each other, not just one person holding up the sky and blocking the wind and rain."
"I've always recognized your abilities and won't interfere with your work." He paused gently for a moment, then added, "But wow, you said you're not omnipotent."
He originally thought that this matter was just a trivial matter, so there was no need to talk about it, and he would not mention it again.
He never thought that letting her become Kunpeng and facing the wind and rain with her were contradictory.
But Qiao Wu always habitually regarded herself as a person, and had to take on everything by herself. The only time she showed weakness was when she was at the critical moment of life and death that day and was too scared to speak.
Lu Jinzhi felt that there were some things that could not be let go.
His gaze across the screen landed on Qiao Wu's face as if it were real. "Rather than only needing me when you're wronged, I'd rather you not be afraid at all."
After a moment, he smiled lightly and said, "So you have to tolerate me secretly caring about you."
Qiao Wu felt that she might have drunk a little too much, because after hearing these words, her heart was full and swollen. She also remembered the silent hug that Lu Jinzhi gave her after he got angry in the Hong Kong District Hospital.
She had never mentioned her needs, but now someone always remembered to give them to her.
She had always thought that her goals were very clear. Who to protect, what to do, and the direction to develop were all planned out clearly. But now she feels that it is not the case.
She went too high and too far.
At this moment, she seemed to suddenly understand Lu Jinzhi's previous situation.
Because I am different from ordinary people, there are some feelings that I cannot tell others and I have to bear them by myself.
But if someone can understand it, it is indeed a very happy thing.
"Thank you..." Thinking that Lu Jinzhi didn't like her saying thank you, she smiled, "Lu Jinzhi, good night."
Seeing that she listened carefully, Lu Jinzhi also smiled and said, "Good night."
After hanging up the video, Qiao Wu leaned against the wall with his handrail and let out a long breath.
After calming down, she was just about to go back when she suddenly heard a familiar name.
"Lu Yingchi, are you okay?"
"This way, this way! The toilet is this way!"
Qiao Wu frowned slightly.
Lu Yingchi finished his final exams earlier than Lu Ning's. Their career planning competition at school was over, and the next time they would be participating in the provincial competition. The reward for this competition was the opportunity to study at one of the companies for two weeks.
Several freshmen have no experience even if they want to start a business, so they can only rely on these methods to accumulate experience and prepare for the next provincial competition.
It happened to be the weekend, and he said today that the company had a team-building event, so he wouldn't go home on the weekend.
Are you coming here?
Just as she walked around the wall pillar, a gust of wind blew past her. Ye Liang supported Lu Yingchi and hurried to the bathroom, smelling strongly of alcohol.
There was someone following closely behind.
Qiao Wu stopped Fei Jingming and asked, "What happened to Lu Yingchi?"
"Sister?!" Fei Jingming was surprised at first, then quickly explained, "Lu Yingchi was forced to drink a lot of alcohol by several seniors from the company."
Originally, they thought that winning the school competition prize and getting the opportunity to study was a very happy thing, but they didn't expect that after arriving, they found that these people in the company looked down on them.
Their school is just an ordinary first-year undergraduate school. There are a lot of undergraduate graduates every year, not to mention people like them who are just freshmen and have no experience.
Those seniors thought that they only got their positions by writing fancy theories, so they were always treated as temporary workers and asked to do things like serving tea and pouring water.
Especially Lu Yingchi.
Lu Yingchi is tall and handsome, and he is a young male college student. His every move and dressing style exudes the air of being very rich.
So as soon as he entered the company, he was very popular among female colleagues, which aroused the jealousy of other seniors, and they were very harsh on Lu Yingchi.
Today they said they were here for team building, but in fact they were just bullying a few newcomers and forcing Lu Yingchi to drink alone.
"He drank it all without saying a word." Fei Jingming explained briefly, still a little worried, "Ye Liang took him to vomit. Sister, wait a moment, I'll go check on him first."
He turned around and walked a few steps just as he finished speaking, and a man's voice came from behind: "Fei Jingming!"
"Hey!" Fei Jingming turned around immediately, "Manager Wang."
The so-called Manager Wang stepped forward with a look of impatience on his face: "Where's Lu Yingchi?"
Fei Jingming: "He drank too much and is in the toilet."
Manager Wang, with a big belly, sneered, "You young people are so naive and ignorant."
He patted Fei Jingming on the shoulder and said, "Don't say I didn't remind you. Go and settle the bill later. It will be good for you in the future."
Fei Jingming widened his eyes slightly.
So many people came for team building in such a high-end place, and we let them pay the bill?
No one’s money comes from the wind, and they still rely on their family’s living expenses for food!
"That Lu Yingchi, isn't he very rich?" Manager Wang said, "Look, one of his clothes costs tens of thousands."
That's really no money.
Fei Jingming thought to himself, they knew that Lu Yingchi's pocket money had been strictly controlled recently. He had to take the subway to school several times. He didn't know what kind of management model their family had.
He subconsciously glanced towards Qiao Wu.
Qiao Wu didn't say anything and continued to stand behind the wall pillar.
"Hurry up." Manager Wang said and went back with a smile.
At this time, Lu Yingchi, who had finished vomiting, came back with the support of Ye Liang. Lu Yingchi walked steadily, probably because he was a little more sober after vomiting. He also washed his face. The hair on his forehead was wet. He lowered his eyes and counted the floor.
"Brother, let's not drink anymore." Ye Liang said to him, "When we get back later, just lie down and I'll say you're unconscious. It's okay."
"Then you have to drink?" Lu Yingchi said with a fierce tone, "Don't worry about it, these old guys, let's see who drinks to death."
"Brother..." Ye Liang paused for a moment, then cried out in surprise, "Sister?!"
"What sister? I'm talking about those bald guys!"
"Lu Yingchi, your sister is here!"
"I don't have a sister!" Lu Yingchi felt a headache from being swayed around. He raised his head impatiently, but his confused gaze suddenly fixed on the white figure.
He stopped walking abruptly, rubbed his face with his hands, and said, "Have you seen Qiao Wu? Did I hallucinate from drinking?"
Ye Liang: "...I saw it before you."
"It's over." Lu Yingchi hesitated for a second after saying that, then turned around and ran away.
Ye Liang: “???”
After running a few steps, Lu Yingchi heard Qiao Wu calling his name calmly from behind, and he immediately ran faster.
But he drank too much today, and after a while he tripped over something and fell on the hotel floor, hitting his knee and causing pain.
Before he could get up, he heard the sound of high heels stopping above his head. A familiar smell filled his nose. Qiao Wu squatted down in front of him, trying to help him up: "Why are you running?"
Lu Yingchi no longer cared about the pain, and simply dodged her hand and buried his head in his elbow: "You recognized the wrong person."
Qiao Wu: “…”
She was amused: "Really? I was originally here to pick up Lu Yingchi for a trip, but I recognized the wrong person."
After saying that, he stood up.
But before she could actually move, the big head raised up again, and the tone was a bit dull from the alcohol: "Travel?"
Qiao Wu didn't say anything, but looked at him with a slightly raised eyebrow.
"Then I am Lu Yingchi." Lu Yingchi said in a muffled voice.
Fei Jingming and Ye Liang looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.
Qiao Wu: "Can Lu Yingchi get up now?"
"…Um."
Lu Yingchi slowly got up. Compared to being embarrassed in front of Qiao Wu, this little pain was nothing to him.
Qiao Wu glanced at his knee and touched it: "Did you fall?"
"No." Lu Yingchi stood straight, not knowing if he had drunk too much, his mind had become very stiff. He watched Qiao Wu stand up, and was a little stunned when he saw the face he hadn't seen for a week.
"I..." His dry throat was itchy, but he had to find an excuse for himself, "I have someone by my side, so..."
That's why I drank so much.
I don't drink alone, and I don't get drunk and act crazy.
He tried to ask, "Are you not angry?"
Qiao Wu didn't answer him, but said to Fei Jingming and Ye Liang, "You go back first, I'll bring him over later."
Then he said, "Don't drink anymore."
Qiao Wu had heard everything that was said just now, so Fei Jingming didn't quite agree with her going: "Sister, are you going too?"
Qiao Wu laughed and said, "Didn't I tell you to pay? How are you going to pay if I don't come? Are you going to strip Lu Yingchi?"
Don’t say it, this brat Lu Yingchi can actually do it.
Qiao Wu didn't expect that the kind of self-improvement he was talking about was true. He remained silent every night when reporting safety, and could even ask Lu Ning as if nothing had happened about her final preparations, asking her not to embarrass him.
"Go ahead, stop drinking, I'll be there in a minute."
The two were very obedient and ran back quickly.
When Qiao Wu and Lu Yingchi were the only ones left in the corridor, she pulled Lu Yingchi to sit down beside her. After confirming that his knee was indeed fine, she said, "Why didn't you tell your family?"
Lu Yingchi said nothing.
He said he wanted to start a business through hardships, but it's only been the first week and he went back to complain over such a small matter. Does he have any shame?
"Don't go," he said.
Qiao Wu asked, "Then what are you going to do?"
Lu Yingchi's face was a little more fierce: "Whoever drinks me to death."
Thinking of who was sitting next to him, he immediately lowered his head: "I didn't ask for it first, it's obvious that they are targeting me."
It was indeed consistent with his usual way of thinking. Qiao Wu laughed: "What is your purpose in coming to this company?"
"study."
"What did you learn?" Qiao Wu pointed at his knees. "How to drink someone to death?"
"..." Lu Yingchi suddenly lost his temper, "You are angry."
That's why he didn't tell Qiao Wu that he went out for a drink today. There are rewards and punishments. If he doesn't do well, Qiao Wu will not want him.
He only panicked when he saw Qiao Wu appear.
Qiao Wu hummed softly.
Lu Yingchi wanted to explain himself, but he couldn't. He grabbed his hair, not knowing what to do. After a long while, he said dryly, "Then I won't drink."
"It's not drinking." Qiao Wu straightened his messy hair, "It's that you didn't tell your family about what you experienced outside."
"How can I say that? Is there any future for me?" Lu Yingchi raised his head and bumped his head against her hand. He then retracted his head and said, "I can handle it myself."
At this moment, Qiao Wu suddenly understood what Lu Jinzhi meant by what he said to her.
She approved of Lu Yingchi's decision to go out and explore the world, but she didn't think he should handle it on his own or suffer unnecessary hardships.
Obviously, Lu Yingchi could have drunk with those people until he had gastric bleeding today, and he could have taken out his valuables to pay for the meal or used other methods, but it was obviously unnecessary.
“That’s not how you learn.”
Lu Yingchi bent over with his hands on his knees, despising himself for being incompetent.
I thought getting first place was a very proud thing, but I didn't expect that I would be in such an embarrassing situation now, and was even seen.
He can't even do this little thing.
Seeing that he was about to curl himself up into a ball, Qiao Wu chuckled: "Do you think I'm powerful?"
"Um."
Super awesome.
"Is your second brother powerful?"
"..." Lu Yingchi was very reluctant, "He is very rich."
"So, do you think your brother has ever experienced what you have?"
No.
But Lu Jinzhi still has brains.
Only the brain.
"Whether it's your second brother or me, we've made it this far thanks to our own strengths as well as the resources our family provided us," Qiao Wu said gently. "You can go out and experience things on your own, but first, you have to learn how to utilize everything you have, rather than constantly enduring hardships and taking detours. You want to learn the processes and skills of those who started at the bottom, not experience this messy workplace bullying. Do you want to become that kind of boss in the future?"
Lu Yingchi was unwilling: "Don't accuse me of any false charges."
"That's all." Qiao Wu patted him on the back, making him straighten up. "So complaining isn't a sign of weakness. It's the most convenient way out of your current predicament. If this path allows you to learn from experience more quickly instead of wasting unnecessary time here, then why not?"
Qiao Wu didn't want him to reach a dead end in his own logic.
Learning and growing is a process of making yourself better, not letting the originally unruly big dog shrink here, not daring to speak when wronged, and only daring to turn around and run away after drinking himself into this state.
How could someone who was so confident when he supported Lu Ning become so pitiful?
But Lu Yingchi, who was drunk, had his brain spinning rapidly. He understood a little, but also didn't understand a little.
He just stared blankly at Qiao Wu.
Qiao Wu put it in a simpler and easier-to-understand way: "What did you do when Lu Ning was isolated?"
Lu Yingchi becomes embarrassed when this is mentioned.
Qiao Wu didn't expose him, but smiled and said, "It's fine if you help her, so why do you think you're useless just because we help you?"
This made Lu Yingchi's mind change.
He is not Lu Jinzhi or Qiao Wu, so he will not use the power once he gets it.
Qiao Wu once said that he was born in Rome, but he knew that once he left the Roman circle, he would become a useless thing.
So he wanted to see how other people got to Rome, at least to give him some confidence.
But he didn't know that there were many people on the road to Rome who were not there to go to Rome, but to trip him up on the road. He wasted a lot of time on those people and ended up going astray.
"Don't lose heart, you can still go." Qiao Wu decided to dangle a carrot for him. "Do you know what your chances are in the national competition?"
"What?"
"It's an internship offer from the foundation." She asked with a smile, "Do you want to come and learn from me?"
The foundation is under the Lu Group. For freshmen and sophomores, Lu's is a popular company. Even if it is just to study in the foundation company, it is an opportunity that they will never want to miss.
It will be several years before Lu Yingchi graduates from university. After studying with her for a year or two, he will have enough ability and qualifications to start a business with his classmates when he graduates.
Lu Yingchi widened his eyes slightly.
He wanted it so badly. He had wanted to catch up with her since he was a child, and it had become his obsession.
Seeing his eyes shining, Qiao Wu raised an eyebrow and said, "If you win first prize in the national competition, I will personally send you an offer."
"real?"
"Yeah, really."
Lu Yingchi straightened up and nodded formally: "Then I think so."
"If you want to, you have to work hard."
Qiao Wu stood up and asked, "Do you want me to support you now?"
"No need." Lu Yingchi also stood up and stretched his knee which was a little painful from the fall. He gritted his teeth when he thought of the humiliation he had suffered in the past week.
He grabbed his hair and arrogantly took out his cell phone and opened Lu Jinzhi's chat box.
Oh yes, he was blocked by Lu Jinzhi.
Depend on.
"Lend me your phone."
Qiao Wu didn't understand why, but he still unlocked it and handed it to him.
Then I saw Lu Yingchi transferred 50 yuan to her.
Then he took her phone and opened the chat box between her and Lu Jinzhi.
He didn't pay much attention to those pinned messages, but he was stunned when he opened the chat box with Qiao Wu and Lu Jinzhi.
How come these two people are all recorded on video?
But he didn't have time to care about these things now, and quickly transferred 50 yuan to Lu Jinzhi using Qiao Wu's account.
This is the money he saved by taking the subway.
Before Qiao Wu could stop him, she heard Lu Yingchi use her account to send a voice message to Lu Jinzhi, saying arrogantly: "I'll give you 50 yuan, and I'll use the monkey in a civilized manner."
Being bullied by a monkey for a thousand days, only using the monkey for a moment.
Since he was going to use it, he would use the monkey's name to scare those shameless bald guys to death!
Qiao Wu, who was watching the whole process, said: "..."
Aren't you planning on going home?
Can't live like this?
Lu Yingchi threw the phone back into her arms and turned back angrily.
Qiao Wu took a deep breath while holding the phone.
Within ten seconds, her cell phone rang.
She had to pick it up.
Without hearing Lu Yingchi's screams, Lu Jinzhi knew who was on the phone.
"Woo woo." He said in a light tone, with a question that he knew the answer to, "Good night?"
