Lu Jianshen didn't speak, his eyes darkened, and he picked up the wine glass with his well-defined knuckles and drank it all in one gulp.
Chen Lei, who was standing next to him, didn't say anything, but he understood his boss's dejection.
Years ago, for a period of time, the media made unfounded rumors that their boss had a "white moonlight" (a term for someone who is unattainable or deeply missed), and that Lu Jianshen was still thinking about her and couldn't forget her.
At the time, Chen Lei was very curious, as he and Lu Jianshen were not very familiar with each other.
Having just started working alongside him, she was diligent and cautious, and Chen Lei didn't dare to ask too many questions.
At that time, it seemed that the person President Lu spent most of his time with was Tang Li.
Looking back now, Chen Lei suddenly realized that Miss Tang was his ideal woman, but no one knew it.
At that time, Tang Li was still his niece-in-law, so even if President Lu had other intentions, he wouldn't do anything.
He, a grown man, didn't care, but Tang Li was, after all, a woman.
If Lu Jianshen were to make a move on his nephew's wife and Lu Chengyi were to disappear, outsiders would not discuss what wrong Lu Jianshen had done; instead, they would think that Tang Li was promiscuous.
Sometimes, public opinion is unfair; even when it's clearly the man's fault, the blame is still placed on the woman.
"Mr. Lu, is Miss Tang aware of what happened before?"
Lu Jianshen shook his head; there were some things that Tang Li didn't need to know.
Otherwise, if Tang Li knew that he had been plotting this for a long time, she might think he was a pervert.
“But I think you shouldn’t keep these things from Miss Tang. Maybe in her eyes, you only care about her looks and don’t have any other feelings for her.”
Chen Lei looked very serious; he didn't know what to say.
Lu Jianshen shook his head; there was no need for Tang Li to know.
He accepted the consequences of his emotional investment and didn't expect anything in return from Tang Li.
He wanted Tang Li to love him, not... for Tang Li to be with him reluctantly out of gratitude.
Lu Jianshen pursed his thin lips, a look of impatience in his eyes, and asked, "How is Yan Hui doing on set? I think he's quite popular lately."
Chen Lei nodded.
"He can indeed be considered a dark horse that has emerged in the film and television industry this year. Many directors are optimistic about him. Qingmang Entertainment is currently in contact with him, hoping that Yan Hui can become a signed artist with their company!"
Lu Jianshen's long, deep-set phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
"I remember, it was Xu Anuo who brought him into this industry, right? There was no need for Qingmang Entertainment to sign him!"
Upon hearing what President Lu said, Chen Lei immediately understood that Starlight Media had taken a liking to him.
The boss behind Starlight Media is their CEO, Mr. Lu. It's obvious that Lu Jianshen has agreed to sign Yan Hui.
Previously, Zhao, the vice president of Starlight Media, had said that he was interested in signing Yan Hui.
However, Chen Lei didn't dare to agree, fearing that President Lu would be angry.
It seems that Mr. Lu has forgiven us for the past.
I don't know if it's because they're putting aside past grievances, or if they just want to better control Yan Hui!
Once Yan Hui signs with Starlight Media, his acting roles will be controlled by President Lu.
Lu Jianshen didn't care about Yan Hui; he cared about Tang Li. He wanted to figure out what Tang Li's true feelings were for Yan Hui!
What's so great about her brother who's three years younger than her?
Lu Jianshen became increasingly annoyed.
After finishing his drinks, Lu Jianshen returned from the bar at 11 p.m.
The small light in the living room was on, casting a soft glow, and Tang Li was still watching her TV series.
She doesn't have a TV in her bedroom, but the TV in the living room is quite good.
Hearing a sound coming from the entrance, Tang Li thought Lu Jianshen wasn't coming back tonight.
She got up and peeked inside, only to see Lu Jianshen walking in from outside, his steps slightly unsteady.
He seems to have had too much to drink.
"Why did you drink so much? Weren't you just working overtime at the company?"
Although Tang Li was a little annoyed that Lu Jianshen was meddling in her affairs, after all... they were now a family and needed to care for each other.
Thinking about all this, Tang Li suddenly realized that subconsciously she already considered Lu Jianshen as family.
Habits are truly terrifying!
"I'll go make you some honey water!"
Lu Jianshen remained silent and sat down on the sofa in the spot where Tang Li had just been sitting.
Near the right side of the sofa, the small gift box containing the tie seemed like a curse, making Lu Jianshen increasingly displeased.
It's just an eyesore no matter how I look at it!
As luck would have it, the TV was showing the drama "Yan Hui".
On the screen, the man smiled, revealing a bright-eyed, white-toothed young man...
No wonder Tang Li was so infatuated with him!
This is absolutely awful!
Lu Jianshen glanced at the tea on the coffee table and a wicked idea popped into his head.
He pretended to pick up the cup of tea, then casually tossed it into the small box containing the ties.
Tang Li came out of the kitchen with a cup of honey water and happened to see Lu Jianshen frantically grabbing tissues and wiping the water off the sofa.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Jianshen looked up at her, his eyes slightly glazed with a hint of drunkenness, and a touch of feigned apology.
"I accidentally spilled some tea in that little box just now, is it alright?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Li frowned, put down the honey water, and immediately went over to check.
"This tie seems unusable; it's stained with tea."
When Lu Jianshen heard her say that the tie was no longer usable, he felt secretly pleased.
The man then feigned remorse, tugged at his tie, and said, "How about this, I'll buy you a new one. Where did you buy this tie? I'll have Chen Lei buy you a new one."
"It's alright. This tie was originally a gift for you. Since it's dirty, just leave it as is."
Lu Jianshen: ...
