Tang Li met the man's deep eyes and felt a little uncertain.
But she still mustered up her courage and asked, "Can you agree to let Yan Hui join the cast of A Thought Through Eternity?"
Lu Jianshen told her to say it, so she did.
Lu Jianshen frowned. "What is your relationship with Yan Hui?"
"Never mind what our relationship is, you..."
Lu Jianshen was furious. "Tang Li, have you learned to take advantage of kindness now?"
What do you mean by taking advantage of someone's kindness?
"How can you be like this? Didn't you just tell me you were thanking me?" Tang Li snapped.
"I'm thanking you for your sake, it has nothing to do with Yan Hui."
Tang Li was furious. "If it weren't for Yan Hui, I would have lost my life in the village this time. Lu Jianshen, how can you be so petty?"
"What did you say? You mean you're accusing me of being petty, is that it?"
Isn't that so?
The two adults actually started arguing back and forth.
Tang Li never expected that she and Lu Jianshen would become so funny!
"Tang Li, don't go too far. You don't even know Yan Hui's background, yet you trust him so much. What if he's a fraud?"
“That night I was bitten by a snake and my whole body was numb and I couldn’t move. Yan Hui carried me for more than two hours, braving the wind and snow. We almost died on the way, and finally we arrived at the township hospital. He saved my life! Otherwise, you would be seeing my corpse.”
Tang Li glared angrily at Lu Jianshen.
What right does he have to criticize his own savior?
Lu Jianshen's eyes were deep and serious. "I understand. I will consider this matter."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be planning to argue anymore, Tang Li prepared to leave.
"Since there's nothing else, I'll head back now."
Lu Jianshen asked again, "May I see your wound?"
Tang Li frowned, feeling displeased. "What, do you still doubt that what I said is true?"
Lu Jianshen: ...
How did this woman suddenly become straight?
He specifically explained, "I mean, I'm concerned about you, and I'd like the doctor to check you again."
"A crocodile cry for a mouse—a false show of compassion!"
“You…” Lu Jian took a deep breath, “I can get Yan Hui into the cast of A Thought Through Eternity, but whether he becomes popular or not depends entirely on his own ability!”
He didn't believe that pretty boy; he was just a guy with a good-looking face.
"Thanks."
Lu Jianshen then said, "Why don't you stay here tonight? It's been a long time since A-Lu has played with you."
As soon as Lu Jianshen finished speaking, Tang Li's phone rang.
When Tang Li saw that it was Yan Zhenzhen calling, she assumed it was about work and answered immediately.
Yan Zhenzhen sounded very anxious on the other end of the phone. After Tang Li understood the whole story, he frowned.
"Your dad got into a fight? Don't panic. Which hospital are you in? Okay, don't worry, I'll be right there. Don't panic..."
Tang Li heard Yan Zhenzhen crying very sadly on the other end of the phone.
She explained to Lu Jianshen, "I'm not staying tonight. I have some things to do, so I'll be leaving now."
As Tang Li spoke, she hurriedly went downstairs before Lu Jianshen could say anything.
Lu Jianshen wanted to chase after her, but then realized that Tang Li had driven over today and didn't need him to drive her.
However, he heard the phone call clearly; it seemed that something had happened at Yan Zhenzhen's home.
Lu Jianshen called his assistant Chen Lei and asked him to check if Yan Zhenzhen had encountered any trouble recently.
"Boss, I used to be your work assistant, but now I've become your personal assistant, spending all my time taking care of your household chores. I feel like... I'm turning into your head housekeeper!"
Chen Lei felt a little wronged. Having spent a long time with Lu Jianshen, he considered Lu a good friend and would speak his mind if he had any complaints.
He also plans to get a promotion and a raise as soon as possible, and then marry Ye Anqi.
If things continue like this, it will be difficult for him to achieve success in his career before getting married, and it will also be difficult for him to save up enough money to buy a house!
Mr. Lu paid him a good salary, about 30,000 yuan a month, but it couldn't keep up with the high housing prices in Beijing!
"Your salary will be doubled."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lei immediately perked up.
"Don't worry, boss, I've got it covered!"
————
At the hospital.
When Tang Li arrived, she saw Yan Zhenzhen looking dejected, sitting alone in the hospital corridor.
She hung her head, looking listless, and her eyes were swollen like red walnuts.
"Zhenzhen, how is Uncle? Is he alright?"
Yan Zhenzhen sniffed, leaned against Tang Li, and started to cry.
“He was beaten up. My mother is sick, and to help earn money for her medical expenses, he secretly applied for a security guard job last month. I had no idea…”
Yan Zhenzhen found it hard to believe, as Yan Zhongliang had previously been the company's CEO.
Now, how could he possibly bear to grovel before the wealthy, opening car doors for them, sweeping floors, or even acting as their watchdog?
"I'm so useless, my dad is really so wronged."
Yan Zhenzhen sobbed softly, her shoulders trembling.
"I can hardly believe how he's been coping all this time, I'm only just finding out..."
"He ran into Gu Qiquan today. Gu Qiquan cheated him when his investment went bankrupt. My dad invested 400 million yuan, all of which went to Gu Qiquan, but they set a trap in the contract. My dad..."
Yan Zhenzhen was crying so hard that her voice was broken and intermittent.
