Chapter 184 Main World 02 "Not Behaving Well"
He was looking forward to Lou Que's reaction. Knowing him, he probably thought someone would have a heart attack because of his anger.
However, Lu Huai didn't feel any guilt at all about this.
While sending the message, he also saw some messages from friends. They were all asking where he had been during the three days he disappeared, and they were all concerned about his condition.
Especially Sister Xu Qian, with whom he had always played well and with whom he used to get along very well when they were in the orphanage.
They are both relatives and friends, and even after they started working, they rarely lost contact.
【Xixi: Xiao Lu? Are you there?】
[Xixi: Please, if you're here, could you please reply to me? I can't reach you, and I'm so worried...]
【Xixi: (call not answered)】
······
Lu Huai opened the chat box and found that he received messages and phone calls from her almost every day. There were even two pictures of his room with the door closed. She must have come to see him on purpose.
I've been exploited by the company for so long that I almost forgot that someone still cares about him...
Lu Huai's heart was filled with warmth, and he quickly sent a message to let people know he was safe.
【lu: I’m fine, sis】
But he certainly couldn't tell him what happened during those three days.
Something about him dying in a car accident on the way to filming, or signing a contract with Samsara Company and traveling to eight different worlds, so now he's resurrected...
Not a single one of them can be explained by modern science.
Lu: I haven't had much work these days. I've been dozing off in my apartment, watching videos. When I get tired, I fall asleep. I haven't really checked the news. Sorry to have worried you.
Lu Huai waited for the news anxiously.
He didn't know whether Xu Qian could believe his explanation. After all, he had never been so "impudent" before.
It was not until he received a reply that Xu Qian, who had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, asked him to have dinner in two days while "swearing" at him that Lu Huai smiled with relief.
After all this trouble, Lu Huai felt a little hungry. So he rummaged through his locker and finally pulled out a box of instant noodles that was still within its expiration date.
I tore open the package smoothly, poured the cooking bag in, and after boiling a pot of water, the familiar aroma spread out along the wall of the cup as the brewing action went on.
Lu Huai felt the time was right and couldn't wait to take a bite. As the salty flavor flowed across his tongue, he felt like he was about to cry.
Yes, although he can cook and the food tastes good, he eats more instant noodles - his very familiar partner.
After all, with limited funds and time, it is difficult to prepare such exquisite meals for one person while supporting himself. When he showed off his skills in the dating show world, he was actually a little unsure, after all, he hadn't cooked in a long time.
However, Lu Huai remembered that he wasn't like this before. Back in school, he was a well-behaved kid who took good care of himself. He even felt guilty if he did something a little out of line.
A typical good student who never skipped classes, smoked, or indulged in games. Lu Huai didn't really know what made him grow up so obedient.
I only remember that besides Xu Qian, there seemed to be someone who often looked after him, but this person's figure was hidden among many classmates who obviously had no intersection with him, but whose voices and smiles were still clear to him...
Lu Huai pinched his sore eyebrows, and the feeling of forgetting something suddenly came up again.
But he has always had a good memory, which is really abnormal.
"I'll ask Sister Qian when I have time." Lu Huai decided.
He sent messages to other friends who cared about him and replied to them, then stayed at the starting interface.
【lu: Sister Qian, good night】
【Sissi: Well, good night】
"Good night, Xiaojiu"
As the night deepened, although he was not in a prime location, the dazzling neon lights of City X still covered a large area around him, including his apartment.
Lu Huai looked out the window and murmured softly, then closed the curtains that were already quite old.
After a quick wash, the exhaustion washed away without a trace of resistance. It devoured Lu Huai like a torrent of dry wood and rotten wood, and he slept soundly.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sunlight shone through the curtains and enveloped people in warmth.
“It’s time to terminate the contract…”
"Finally, we're free!"
Lu Huai jumped up from the bed with a somersault. Even the repair function of his young body was severely tested by him, who had not had a good rest for a long time. At this moment, he felt sore, weak and painful.
And it seemed that last night was not as peaceful as he had imagined. He seemed to be suppressed by something in the middle of the night. Perhaps the nightmare had visited him again.
But there was no time to think about it. The joy of being out of the sea of suffering still supported Lu Huai to get up and move towards his goal.
Lu Huai indeed slept for a long time.
When he pushed open the door of Wei's Entertainment's top-floor office, he seemed to have just woken up.
It was exactly three or four in the afternoon, and the sun slanted down on Lu Huai, giving him an indescribable sense of laziness.
Without any filming assignments, Lu Huai didn't bother to dress up. He just casually picked up a washed-out denim jacket and put it over his ordinary white T-shirt, looking very plain.
He disliked the fact that the weather was still a bit hot in late summer, so he rolled up his sleeves, revealing an arm that was glowing white but not at all shriveled, with smooth and beautiful muscle lines.
His simple clothes could not hide his outstanding appearance at all. Even if he said nothing, many pairs of eyes had already quietly fallen on this colleague whom he had not seen for a long time.
His jawline was as smooth as a finely carved piece of jade, his nose was high but not sharp, and his eyes were freehand and charming. His pupils were a clear black, a color so bright that it might seem a little sharp if you looked at them for too long.
Her eyelashes were long and thick, casting a small, gentle shadow under her eyes when she lowered her eyes, which made up for the sharpness and made her cheap clothes look a bit noble.
Lu Huai also noticed their gazes and gave a friendly smile.
Unfortunately, those gazes stopped for a moment, as if they thought of something, and did not dare to respond to him. They just lowered their heads and continued to work, fearing that their astonishment would be discovered by the existence that they could not afford to offend.
So Lu Huai could only get straight to the point with a bit of dejection.
Colleagues all felt sorry for what happened to this little star. He was handsome, had a good personality, and was extremely talented in acting and singing. If he had developed normally, he would have become a rising star in the company in no time.
Unfortunately, I offended someone and am destined to live in the shadow.
When this is mentioned after dinner, everyone can't help but sigh and say what a pity it is. But in reality, it is impossible to overturn the bowl of food in your hand for such kindness.
Lou Que was typing on the calculator in front of the computer. He looked up when he heard the noise. His stubby but nimble fingers paused on the table, and there was a hint of imperceptible surprise in his impatient tone.
"You were punctual, knowing to discuss the termination of the contract, and dressed so... conspicuously?"
His eyes swept over Lu Huai's collarbone exposed outside the collar. The skin there was so white that it was almost translucent, tempting people to explore it, making the cheap cotton collar look attractive.
Lou Que naturally appreciates good looks and has a good aesthetic sense and a pair of sharp eyes. Otherwise, he would not have signed the person under his command so quickly.
At the beginning, his original intention was also good. He thought that this person was a clothes hanger, and he was very good at taking advertisements and acting. He could guide him well, take steady steps, and climb up step by step, from small brands to big brands, and from newcomer awards to those major awards.
But he is a businessman, and Lu Huai's greater value has already emerged compared to slowly cultivating him.
It's not hard to guess which one he'll choose. And in his opinion, taking a shortcut isn't a bad thing.
So when Lu Huai was full of longing, he believed the nonsense that "Director Lin has a secret role and he wants to meet for an interview."
When you are dressed beautifully like a lamb to be slaughtered at a banquet, you have already stepped half into the trap.
It’s a pity that the young man was ignorant and didn’t know how to go with the flow, so he ended up with a bloody head, and he could only reluctantly let go of him and treat him as an abandoned pawn.
The memories came to an abrupt end. Lou Que warned himself not to think about those useless things anymore. With a complicated look in his eyes, he pulled out a document and pushed it over.
Thinking of his willful behavior in the past two days, he felt that the little bit of affection he had left didn't need to be mentioned anymore.
A hint of shallow disgust flashed across his eyes, and his tone became sharp and sarcastic.
"The breach of contract clause clearly states that you haven't contributed any money to the company in the past two years and have been occupying resources. If you leave, you'll have to pay 500,000 yuan."
Lu Huai didn't touch the documents, nor did he argue with him too much. He just held the check and gently placed it on the table.
His fingers were long, his knuckles distinct, his nails trimmed neatly and roundly, and his movements when pushing the check were slow and steady, as if he was completing an insignificant task.
The voice was also flat and without any ups and downs:
"Here's one million, enough to cover the liquidated damages and basic salary. The extra money will buy me some peace and quiet."
As he finished speaking, he raised his eyes, his dark pupils calm and composed, as if the "500,000" in the gap in the building was nothing special. He didn't have the awkwardness that ordinary people would have when faced with such a huge sum of money.
Just give it to me so calmly?
This guy has almost been persuaded to quit his job. He runs around all the time and barely makes ends meet. How did he earn so much money? Could it be fake?
Lou Que was a little suspicious.
But he held the check up to the light and looked at it carefully for a long time, but he couldn't find any flaws.
After all, this money is much more than the little money Lu Huai earned for the company. Since the person cannot be sold, paying a "protection fee" can be regarded as creating value.
After confirming that it was true, the impatience on Lou Que's face was immediately replaced by a flattering smile.
"Wouldn't it be better if you did this earlier? I know you definitely don't want to go to Wei Shao's place. Pay the money and leave. This will also complete the fate between us."
Lou Que was almost moved by his own kindness, not knowing whether it was sincere or fake, and sighed to Lu Huai: "I wish you a good future..."
But he didn't notice that as soon as the words "Mr. Wei" came out, the office door was pushed open with a "bang".
Wei Shiyu leaned against the door frame, his black suit making his skin look even paler than paper.
The corners of her narrow eyes were raised, but when her gaze fell on Lu Huai, it was like being sucked by a magnet, sticking to Lu Huai tightly, burning so much that it almost burned through her clothes: "Are you in a hurry to leave?"
The man walked over quickly, and his cool fingers touched Lu Huai's cheek directly, with a force so strong that it was almost brutal.
Lu Huai did not dodge, but just turned his head slightly. His movements were quick and decisive, yet as light as a willow branch swaying in the wind, just avoiding the hand reaching out to him.
Perhaps because he has experienced a different life to some extent, he can now hide many of his emotions very well and will not let them dominate his actions.
Naturally, I will not fight back fiercely like someone wants, slap them in the face or curse them out.
His eyelashes trembled slightly, and the curve of the corners of his eyes was still gentle when he lowered his eyes, as if he was not at all flustered by Wei Shiyu's frivolity.
"Boss Wei, the liquidated damages have been paid, and my agent can prove it. From now on, I have nothing to do with the Wei Corporation."
The tone was too calm, as calm as if he was stating the weather.
But he was handsome, and even his expressionless face had a kind of aloof and abstinent beauty.
Wei Shiyu's fingertips froze in mid-air. Looking at Lu Huai's expressionless face, she felt a surge of inexplicable anger rising. Her Adam's apple rolled as she let out a low laugh:
"It's okay? Do you really think it's that simple? Then you really underestimate me."
But Lu Huai looked at him with such calm eyes, as if he was just a wild dog barking everywhere.
Besides making him furious, he also felt a little itchy, wanting those eyes to show a different expression for him.
At least not so calm, if you are flustered, shy, angry, or passionate...
As if figuring something out, a dark color flashed across Wei Shiyu's eyes, and his expression was strange: "Oh, I was wondering how you suddenly had the money to pay the penalty. Did you sell it to someone else in exchange for it?"
"You're rejecting me and going out with someone else? Do you think I care about this little money? I've never failed to get what I want."
"If you stay with me obediently, I can make you live comfortably, but you insist on being disobedient."
"That's really naughty."
