"Xu Lu, congratulations! You've really made a splash again. But honestly, your speech this time was truly brilliant!"
The voice of Boss Yang came from the other end of the phone; it was actually a congratulatory call.
Xu Lu smiled and said:
"It's nothing, just a minor incident. It just so happened that Master Zhuang was looking for trouble with me, and it was just a coincidence!"
Upon hearing this, Boss Yang replied in an annoyed tone:
"Come on, I could hear the smirk on your face over the phone. You've outshone that literary master; you should be proud enough."
However, we still need to be careful. The literary field is on a much higher level than our entertainment field, and Master Zhuang is not someone to be trifled with..."
Xu Lu always appreciated any concern shown to him, so he nodded quickly and said:
"I know, I know. I'll keep an eye on what happens next. If they dare to cause me trouble again, I won't mind teaching them another lesson..."
After hanging up the phone, Dilraba looked over with a curious expression and said, seemingly casually:
"Who is it? You were talking and laughing at the same time. I forgot to record a video of you. Your smile is so bright."
Xu Lu was dumbfounded.
He seemed to smell a strange, sour odor rising in the air, and snapped out of his reverie, jokingly remarking:
"Hey girl, you're being way too nosy. Do I have to report to you who calls me?"
"Tch! You're making it sound like you're really eager to know. I was just asking casually, so don't get nervous!"
Dilraba turned her face away, looking indifferent.
Xu Lu nodded, intending to tease her a little, and decided to drop the subject.
Sure enough, the other party became even more curious, and although they no longer asked directly, they tried to probe indirectly.
This finally made Xu Lu lose his temper, and he said irritably:
"Hey, that's enough, girl. Stop asking childish questions like 'When did you meet that person over there?' That was your boss on the phone just now. If you don't believe me, just call him and ask."
Upon hearing this, Reba's imposing manner immediately vanished, and she stammered:
"My boss? My boss isn't... uh, it's Boss Yang, isn't it?"
"Of course, who else could it be? Oh, there really is someone. Wait, let me take this call..."
Xu Lu had just said one sentence when his phone rang again.
After the call connected, a voice came from the other end:
"Mr. Xu, congratulations! You managed to turn things around last night, which really scared us. Luckily, thankfully..."
"Are you worried I'll get into trouble again?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Lu spoke up.
"How could I dare? Mr. Xu, you must be joking. I can't interfere with what you do. I can only hope that you will keep us from worrying!"
Xu Lu nodded and said:
"Good to know. By the way, keep an eye on that Master Zhuang for me, and see if he'll cause any more trouble!"
“Okay, Mr. Xu, I’m actually a little worried about this too. The other party is a master in the field of literature, and he’s not someone to be trifled with.”
Now that we've already provoked them, we can only be wary of what other tricks they might have up their sleeve. Mr. Xu, please give me some mental preparation. Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?
Xu Lu immediately replied, "Of course I have a plan! So you can all relax. He's just a literary master, do you think I'd be afraid of him? Alright, I'm hanging up!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaoxia on the other side finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying:
"Okay, Mr. Xu, I'll keep an eye on Master Zhuang's situation and report back to you immediately if anything comes up."
After hanging up the phone, Feng Xiaoxia rubbed his face helplessly, thinking to himself:
"Mr. Xu is really something else. To add 'merely' before the title of a literary master, this..."
"Alright, let's get on with the business first. If Mr. Xu says he has a plan, then he probably does, so there's no need to worry about him too much."
After so many experiences over a long period of time, Feng Xiaoxia had developed a high degree of trust in this amazing CEO Xu.
So even though the other party had offended a literary master this time, he was not too panicked.
So what if he's a literary master? At that lecture gala, wasn't he still completely outmatched by our CEO Xu?
Meanwhile, Xu Lu, who had also hung up the phone, glanced curiously at Dilraba beside him and said:
"Girl, why didn't you ask who called me this time? I was laughing as I said that."
"Tch! What's the point of asking that? I heard a man's voice, and if I'm not mistaken, it's someone from Da Xu Culture!"
Dilraba, with a smug look on her face, said it with an air of 'I'm so smart'.
Upon hearing this, Xu Lu immediately returned the look with a "You're really smart" expression.
...
Putting aside the exchange of glances between the two on this side, Master Zhuang on the other side really wasn't going to let it go so easily.
"Old Zhou, this isn't your fault. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'll definitely make that kid pay!"
Zhuang Qiu hung up the phone with a very gloomy expression.
The person who called just now was his old friend Zhou Wenhao. He apologized profusely, saying he shouldn't have asked for his help back then, otherwise, what happened last night wouldn't have happened.
But Master Zhuang is very concerned about his reputation.
Upon hearing this, he immediately stated that the situation yesterday had nothing to do with Zhou Wenhao; it was all the fault of that kid surnamed Xu.
As for Zhou Wenhao's advice to him not to take it to heart and not to stoop to the level of a mere kid, it only fueled Master Zhuang's anger.
