In the office of the media and film base, Liu Jin frowned deeply. He had no heart for filming these past two days; he was in complete turmoil.
He's almost forty this year, but he still has no intention of getting married. On the one hand, he has too many fans, most of whom are female, and he worries that if he gets married, it will break their hearts.
On the other hand, he really didn't have anyone he wanted to marry. With the progress of the times, some female artists have become bolder in their behavior, which Liu Jin is already somewhat disgusted with.
There was a knock on the office door, and Zhuang Mengdie, uninvited, opened it and walked in. Her gaze towards Liu Jin was filled with hatred.
"Liu Jin, when are you going to marry me? I'm almost forty, how many more years can I wait for you?"
Liu Jin looked at Zhuang Mengdie with worry and said helplessly, "Zhang Mengdie, we did have a good relationship when we were at the Peking Opera Academy. But when you went to the United States for further studies, I told you that we were not suitable for each other."
But after you come back, you absolutely must join this film company. I've told you more than once that I don't have those kinds of feelings for you; if there are any, it's just friendship between classmates.
Tears streamed down Zhuang Mengdie's face, and her voice began to choke: "Liu Jin, you lied to me, you have no conscience."
Liu Jin shrugged and said helplessly, "Don't you know whether I've lied to you or not? I've never loved you, I've never violated you, and I've told you countless times that I will never like you. You're the one who always acts like my girlfriend. If you keep bothering me like this, either I leave here, or you leave here."
Zhuang Mengdie's face turned deathly pale. The owner of this film and television company was Ye Tianru, Liu Jin's younger brother. Even a primary school student knew who Tianru would side with.
"I won't leave! You're bullying me! You know I have nowhere to go if I leave here. I know you look down on my family, but what can I do? It's not like I'm going against your family. Waaah, I don't want to live anymore!" Zhuang Mengdie cried as she ran outside.
"Here we go again. Can't you come up with something new? Poor Liu Jin." The door to an office next door was half-open, just so they could eavesdrop on their conversation.
"So many women like Liu Jin. I heard that the one who teaches Liu Jin's great-grandmother to play the piano always likes to follow Liu Jin around. Actually, I quite like Liu Jin too. If he weren't so old, I would really like to marry him," said one of the actresses.
"Get lost! She hasn't even complained about how thin you are, and you're complaining about how old she is? You're shameless!" another actress said.
"Stop talking, everyone. If the boss hears us, none of us will be happy." Director Fu walked in.
The girls all kept quiet. Tianru Media Film and Television Company offers the best benefits to its artists, and they didn't want to switch companies.
Liu Jin picked up the phone and called Tian Ru: "Tian Ru, I would like to ask for a long leave to rest."
"Brother Liujin, is Zhuang Mengdie bothering you again? If it's not good, let her go. She's not focused on acting at all. Keeping her around will only put her on the sidelines." Tianru knew Liujin couldn't stand it anymore.
"She keeps threatening me with not wanting to live anymore. I don't want to be targeted by people. Forget it, I hope she can come to terms with it. I'm not coming starting tomorrow. I'm taking a month off."
“Okay, where are you going?” Tianru asked.
"I'm going to Bali. The scenery there is beautiful. I'll take lots of pictures and bring them back for you and your girlfriend to enjoy," Liu Jin laughed.
"Get lost, I don't have a girlfriend. But you keep an eye on Yushu for me. Zhu Jiajun is keeping a close eye on her, and I'm afraid Yushu will get hurt." Tianru frowned.
Liu Jin thought for a moment and said, "Tianru, I'm worried that Zhu Jiajun will suffer. Look at how servile he is to Yushu, he's practically begging for a 'Yes, sir'."
Tianru thought about it and realized it was true. Yushu wanted to drink water, so he poured some for her. The water was just the right temperature to quench her thirst. Yushu said she wanted to eat braised food from Tianfu Lou, so he went to queue up early in the morning, just because if she went late, the braised food would be sold out.
"You're right. Well then, I won't worry about it anymore. Take care of yourself. If you can find true love, then get married." Tianru hung up the phone; he was very busy too.
The plane landed in Bali. Liu Jin, dressed in a cool all-black outfit and wearing sunglasses, appeared at the most expensive hotel in Bali. He put down his luggage, threw himself onto the large bed, and comfortably stretched.
After a quick shower, I changed into casual clothes, took a bottle of beer from the refrigerator, sat on the balcony, looked up at the sky, and watched a flock of birds, I didn't know what they were, fly by.
Liu Jin stood up and looked out from the balcony. His eyes lit up. The sunset glow and the lone wild goose took flight, and the autumn water blended with the sky. What a beautiful natural scene!
Liu Jin grabbed his wallet and access card, along with a bottle of beer, changed into slippers, and ran to the beach. He wanted to step onto the golden sand and feel the gentle sea breeze.
"Ding!" The elevator doors opened, and Liu Jin eagerly stepped inside.
"Ouch!" a woman's voice rang out, followed by a "thud" as something fell to the ground.
"Ah, my jade!" The woman, ignoring the pain from the impact, quickly squatted down and picked up the half-broken jade pendant.
It turned out that Liu Jin was walking in a hurry, and the wine bottle in his hand bumped into the jade pendant hanging around the girl's neck, breaking the perfectly good jade pendant in two.
Liu Jin was dumbfounded. He really didn't mean it; he just wanted to go downstairs to see the beach.
The girl glanced at Liu Jin, took the broken jade pendant, walked out of the elevator, and headed towards her room.
