Another flop.
A film and a variety show, both failed within half a year, not even making a slight splash.
Wei Qinghe subconsciously clenched his phone, feeling depressed.
He had hoped to achieve something...
Well, he would try harder next time.
...
Meanwhile.
Lu Nanchen arrived early at VG Entertainment’s office building. After greeting the employees he encountered along the way, he went to the top floor office to pick up Yu Ting and bring her home.
After knocking on the office door and entering at Yu Ting’s invitation, he found the woman who had been sitting all day behind several stacks of folders. She propped her head on one hand, occasionally rubbing her forehead with her index and middle fingers. Without a break, she looked at the file in her hand even after seeing Lu Nanchen entered.
After reading the last few lines, she signed at the bottom of the page.
Then she shut the file folder abruptly.
It was the end of the workday.
The joy of finishing work was starting to show.
Yu Ting put the folder aside, stretched languidly in her chair, and said, "You’re here."
"Yeah, I thought it was about time, so I came. How’s the work?" Lu Nanchen asked, standing by the desk and occasionally picking up a file to flip through. "If you’re not done, keep going. I’ll wait for you."
"I’m done. Let’s go home and have dinner," said Yu Ting, who, looking relieved after finishing her work, stood up and instinctively hooked her arm through Lu Nanchen’s.
The pair walked to the bottom of the building and quickly left the company.
There was a distance from the company gate to the car. As Lu Nanchen walked shoulder to shoulder with Yu Ting, he felt a lot of eyes on him. He glanced around and noticed a man passing by casually.
The man was casually dressed, a very ordinary passerby.
"What are you looking at?" Yu Ting asked, leaning forward a little.
"Nothing," Lu Nanchen replied, withdrawing his gaze, and got into the car with Yu Ting.
At three in the morning the next day.
When the houses were quiet and the main roads and back alleys of Jiangqi City were serene as it wasn’t yet work time. It was still early in the morning, and just a few stallholders who had just woken up were getting ready to go out.
Three o’clock was still more than three hours from Lu Nanchen’s biological clock. At this moment, the two of them slept together in the master bedroom, Lu Nanchen lying on his back with Yu Ting’s head on his slightly bent arm, which was draped over her shoulder. His other hand was properly placed at his side, and his head tilted towards Yu Ting.
Yu Ting leaned most of her weight on Lu Nanchen, sleeping against him. She was still sleep in her usual awkward position, with one leg sprawled across Lu Nanchen’s waist.
Lu Nanchen, with Yu Ting in his arms, was sleeping with his eyes tightly closed, expressing a bit of pain. His long eyelashes trembled intermittently.
He was dreaming.
In his dream, several men were crowding around him, yelling and pushing. Their faces were blurred.
’No money, no power, and you still dare to fight them? Don’t you know that they are under my protection?’
’Why don’t you just kneel down and apologize to us, and then we can put this matter to rest. Otherwise, you won’t be able to get by in Jiangqi City.’
The threats were growing worse as the conversation progressed.
...
...
’Ah! Stop hitting me.’
’You just wait! I’ll be back! We’ll make sure you can’t stay in Jiangqi City!’’
’And those close to you! They will all pay a heavy price for your foolish actions!’
Having no chance to fight back, the teenage boy could only bluff, issuing a threat that he believed was frightening, and continue to be beaten.
