☆, Chapter 136: Care
"Zhang Ye... I'll try calling him." Lu Congxu was reminded by his words and picked up the phone again.
“…” Cheng An.
When and how did Brother Lu become so obsessed with love? There's really nothing I can do.
"Zhang Ye." When the call was connected, Lu Congxu asked, "Is Mianmian with you?"
Mianmian is the nickname Lu Congxu gave to Su Moli after they started dating. Everyone who is close to Lu Congxu knows this name, and Zhang Ye, as his assistant, of course knows it too.
When he heard Lu Congxu ask Mianmian, he knew who she was referring to and replied, "No, I'm at the hotel. On the way back with Moli, I received a call and went to the China Film City that never sleeps to shoot a commercial. Moli was given two assistants to help, so I couldn't help. Moli asked me to go back to the hotel to sort it out first."
"You left her there alone?" Lu Congxu frowned.
"I..." Zhang Ye choked.
If this is really said, it is not wrong.
"Brother Lu." Cheng An couldn't help but feel sorry for Zhang Ye. "They already have two assistants over there. Su Moli can't even handle them all. It doesn't matter whether Zhang Ye is there or not. She'll definitely need someone to serve her tea and water."
"I'm looking for Zhang Ye not only to serve tea and water, but also to protect Mianmian's safety. No matter how many people are around her, they are all strangers to her. What she lacks is not someone to serve tea and water." Lu Congxu looked at Cheng An with cold eyes and a tone as cold as ice.
He was talking to Cheng An and also to Zhang Ye on the phone.
There was a moment of silence on both sides. Cheng An felt embarrassed and awkward, his face flushed red.
Lu Congxu didn't even need to scold him. Just such a serious reprimand was enough to make him feel ashamed.
"She hasn't gone back yet?" Lu Congxu didn't feel like talking to him anymore and asked Zhang Ye on the phone.
Zhang Ye was stunned for a moment before realizing that Lu Congxu was talking to him. He quickly said, "Not yet. I heard that the advertising department is going to shoot a night scene. The main shooting will be at night, and there will be a large light show. I guess they will finish work late. Mr. Lu, don't worry. I'll call Jasmine right away."
"I called many times, but she didn't answer." Lu Congxu said in a deep voice.
"Ah..." Zhang Ye said, "That might be because she accidentally muted her phone. Don't worry, there are a lot of staff members shooting the commercial, and they are all very friendly. I'll go over and take a look. Jasmine..."
"Drive over there right away and call me back as soon as you see her." Lu Congxu interrupted him.
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Zhang Ye said hurriedly.
Lu Congxu hung up the phone, sat back in his chair, and rubbed his eyebrows.
After thinking about it, he still felt uneasy, so he sent a message to Xu Hong.
Lu Congxu: Are you asleep?
Xu Hong, the workaholic, is probably still in the company and responded quickly.
Xu Hong: Not yet. Is there something wrong?
Lu Congxu: Jasmine is filming a commercial in Never-Sleeping City and hasn't answered my calls. Zhang Ye isn't with her either. I find this a bit strange. Do you have any friends in Never-Sleeping City? Ask them to ask for me.
Xu Hong: ...
Xu Hong: I never realized you had the potential to be in love. What's wrong with you? You can't stand not answering the phone for even a moment? You're so clingy!
Xu Hong: I have a friend who works as a deputy manager there. I can call and ask for you.
Xu Hong: Wait for me.
…
"Brother Lu..." Cheng An walked over and said cautiously, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else by what I said just now. I just think you value Su Moli too much. I don't mean to say anything bad about her."
"If I don't value my people, who should I expect them to? Do you think I value her? But I always feel that I don't value her enough." Lu Congxu was in a hurry at the moment and did not try to comfort Cheng An. Although his attitude was not harsh, his tone was rare and serious. "I would rather value her more and never let Zhang Ye leave her even a step."
"I'm sorry." Cheng An lowered his head.
"I know you don't like her. Although I've said many things, it's hard to change an established impression. I won't force you to accept it. But similarly, I don't want to hear anyone say anything bad about the person I like, and I won't change that for others." Lu Congxu took this opportunity to make his point clear. "If you find it unacceptable, find someone else."
"Brother Lu!" Cheng An was shocked and his eyes widened.
These words were obviously too heavy for him.
"Don't worry, I don't mean to fire you. There are many other positions in the company and you can choose any one." Lu Congxu said.
His assistant, who had worked with him for many years, was arranged by him to work within the company just because of his age. Strictly speaking, this was a promotion.
But Cheng An didn't want such a promotion, "Brother Lu, I just want to follow you."
"Let's discuss this matter later." Lu Congxu was not in the mood to delve into the matter now.
The phone suddenly rang, and Lu Congxu picked up the phone and answered it, "Sister Hong."
"Well... I have something to tell you, don't worry. Something happened in the City That Never Sleeps." Xu Hong said carefully, choosing her tone.
"What's the matter?" Lu Congxu stood up. "What happened?"
It was impossible to say he wasn't anxious. Xu Hong had anticipated this. "Don't worry, stay calm. I was worried about you. After calling my friend just now, I called a police friend I know."
"My friend told me that Chen Yaoqing brought some people to block Jasmine at night. The advertising staff were not there at the time, so I heard that Jasmine was alone..."
Lu Congxu took a deep breath. Even though he knew that Wen Mianyu had been practicing martial arts since childhood and was smart and would not be easily taken advantage of by Chen Yaoqing, he still became nervous and broke into a sweat after hearing what Xu Hong said.
After all, Chen Yaoqing brought people with him.
"But don't worry, I asked for you, and Chen Yaoqing didn't take advantage!"
Xu Hong was also afraid that he would be anxious, so she hurriedly explained, "I don't know what happened yet. Time was tight, so I didn't ask too much because I was afraid you would get anxious waiting. I only heard that it was Moli who knocked Chen unconscious, and then called the police. When the police arrived, the people Chen Yaoqing brought were locked outside the door and didn't know anything yet! Chen Yaoqing also fainted!"
Lu Congxu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he was on a roller coaster, falling from the peak.
No, he has learned to fly a helicopter and has undergone systematic training, so he doesn't get nervous when riding a roller coaster.
But because of Wen Mianyu, his heart was really lifted up.
"So Chen Yaoqing is now in the police station, taking a statement. Jasmine is there too. I'm already at the garage and will be there soon. Don't worry." Xu Hong comforted him.
"I understand. You should hurry over and hang up the phone first." Lu Congxu said.
"Then don't worry. I'll call you back as soon as I see Jasmine." Xu Hong said, "She must not answer your call because she's taking the statement and her phone is away. Stay calm."
"Yeah." Lu Congxu responded and then hung up the phone.
"Brother Lu..." Cheng An called him cautiously.
Cheng An was by my side throughout the call. Although he didn't hear every word clearly, he generally understood the ins and outs of the matter.
Hearing that Chen Yaoqing was blocking someone, his heart was really lifted. Knowing how sarcastic his previous words were, Cheng An felt extremely guilty. "I'm sorry, Brother Lu, I..."
"Prepare the car, let's go back." Lu Congxu didn't want to hear his apology at this moment because it was meaningless.
"..." Cheng An was stunned for a moment, then realized, "Okay, I'll go drive right away!"
…
On the other side, Zhang Ye finally arrived at Huanying City that Never Sleeps.
It was already late at night, most of the scenic spots were already half closed, and the light show had stopped long ago.
As Zhang Ye drove into the park, he only encountered a few security personnel on night patrol. The further he drove inside, the less at ease he felt.
When he arrived at the scenic spot near the advertisement shooting, Zhang Ye found that there were no staff members there. The light inside and outside the scenic spot was dim. There were only two security guards standing at the door. They could be seen chatting from a distance.
"Two big brothers." Zhang Ye got out of the car and walked towards the two men. "Excuse me, do you know about the commercial filming here before?"
"I know, it's just that advertisement." The tall security guard replied, obviously forgetting the name of the advertising brand.
"What are you doing here? It's late at night and the scenic area is closed." Another thin security guard looked at Zhang Ye warily.
"I'm a former staff member. My artist was filming a commercial here and I was his assistant. I had something else to do, so I went back to the hotel to wait. But my artist hasn't gone back yet, so I came to look for him..." Zhang Ye was a little anxious and started explaining incoherently.
The two security guards listened for a long time before they understood what was going on. They said, "Are you here looking for someone? Then you're late. There were indeed quite a few people here before, and the police came over. It seems like there was a thief, and they're all going to the police station now."
"Police station?" Zhang Ye was shocked.
"We don't know if you ask us. If you want to know, just go to the police station. It's right in our area. If you drive over there, it will take you about ten minutes." The tall security guard replied.
"It's the middle of the night now, so don't worry about traffic jams." Another security guard comforted him.
Zhang Ye nodded blankly, returned to the car, and hurriedly called Lu Congxu back.
"Brother Lu, I just asked..."
"Mianmian is taking a statement at the police station. I have asked Xu Hong to go over there. You should go too. Cheng An and I are in the car and will be back in about an hour." Before Zhang Ye could organize his words to explain, Lu Congxu interrupted him and said a long string of words.
Lu Congxu actually knew what he had just learned. Zhang Ye suddenly felt that he was an incompetent assistant. "I'll be there right away."
"Buy some snacks and hot drinks and bring them over. It's so late and she hasn't eaten anything. She will be hungry. Give her something to eat after the statement is taken." Lu Congxu instructed.
Zhang Ye felt increasingly embarrassed and said, "Don't worry, Brother Lu, I will definitely buy more."
…
Twenty minutes later, Zhang Ye rushed to the police station.
Xu Hong had been there for a while and was communicating with the deputy director, who was also a friend of her friend, to understand the ins and outs of the case.
When Xu Hong heard that Wen Mianyu was blocked in the dressing room by seven or eight grown men, she was worried. It was not until she heard that Chen Yaoqing was unconscious that she felt relieved and cursed in her heart that he deserved it.
What a bastard! I knew he wasn't a good guy, but there were many people like him in the circle, and Chen Yaoqing had many people fawning over him before, so Xu Hong didn't think much of it.
Who would have thought that this man would be so excessive now, even daring to target Lu Congxu's people.
"The nature of this matter is too bad. If Mr. Lu knew about it, he would definitely be very angry. Chen Yaoqing should have a lawyer coming to bail him out soon. We can't let him go easily then." Xu Hong reminded.
"This..." The deputy director was a little embarrassed. Everyone in City A with some connections in Chen Yaoqing's position knew about it. "Mr. Chen, the nature of this matter is hard to define at the moment. If we are too harsh, it will make both sides look bad. If he sues us, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing."
The meaning of this statement is very clear. No one is willing to take such responsibility for a small actor like Wen Mianyu.
Xu Hong knew that being the leader of their police station was not easy either, especially since they had to care about the social impact. Many things could not be done casually without considering the consequences.
She had no intention of making things difficult for Deputy Director Tu, so she said, "Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you. I'll contact Mr. Lu and have him come forward to see how to best handle this matter."
"Master Lu?" Deputy Director Tu was stunned. "Is this matter related to Master Lu?"
"To be honest, Jasmine is in love with Mr. Lu now. Who knows, she might become the granddaughter-in-law of the Lu family in the future. The Lu family only has Lu Congxu as a grandchild. If the old man doesn't support Congxu, who else can he support? How can he allow his family to be bullied? Don't you think so?" Xu Hong said in a serious tone.
"Of course, of course." Deputy Director Tu agreed repeatedly.
"Sister Hong." Zhang Ye waited until the two finished chatting before going forward.
A police officer informed that Chen Yaoqing's lawyer had arrived, and Deputy Director Tu went to meet him.
Xu Hong took out her phone and told Zhang Ye, "I'm going to call Cong Xu. You wait here for Jasmine to come out."
"Okay, Sister Hong." Zhang Ye responded.
…
Ten minutes later, Wen Mianyu came out after finishing the statement and saw Zhang Ye waiting anxiously in the office, pacing back and forth in front of the coffee table.
"Zhang Ye." Wen Mianyu pushed the door open and called him.
"Jasmine!" Zhang Ye was very excited to see her, and rushed over to grab her hand. If it weren't for the difference between men and women, he would have hugged her by now.
"Are you okay? How do you feel?" Zhang Ye kept asking Wen Mianyu.
Wen Mianyu shook her head repeatedly, "It's okay, don't worry, I'm fine."
"I was really scared. You don't know how worried I was when I heard about Chen Yaoqing. It's all my fault. If I hadn't left, you wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing." Zhang Ye's face was still frightened and full of guilt.
"It's not all your fault." Wen Mianyu comforted him. "That pervert Chen Yaoqing has put so much effort into this. Even if you were here, he wouldn't give up blocking me just because you're here. He has so many people with him, he wouldn't take you seriously. If you were here, it would be difficult to end the fight, and you'd be more likely to get hurt."
Zhang Ye didn't know how Wen Mianyu escaped, but he still admired her cleverness. "You are so smart, Jasmine. Fortunately, you were able to adapt to the situation, otherwise you would have suffered a loss today."
"That pervert Chen Yaoqing only thinks about taking advantage of others. He deserves to be plotted against." Wen Mianyu said as she took the coat handed to her by the police and casually said thank you.
"You're welcome, Miss Su. Your statement has been completed. We don't need your cooperation for the time being. You can go back. You were frightened tonight. You should have a good rest." The police officer comforted her.
"Okay." Wen Mianyu said.
