"Come on, let me show you your assets." Lu Yuzhi said with a smile, and then pulled Li Peiyu into the car.
The driver, Cheng Cheng, started the car and said with a smile, "Madam, look out the window. The companies with blue flags are all owned by the Lu family."
Lu Yu issued an order that all companies under the Lu family should display their company flags this morning.
The car drove smoothly, the scenery outside the window constantly changing. Lu's blue corporate flags fluttered everywhere, rustling in the wind.
Those towering buildings, bustling shopping malls, and modern factories—wherever the blue flag flew, it belonged to the Lu family, to Lu Yuzhi, and to her. The sight was so overwhelming that Li Peiyu's eyes widened in disbelief.
Seeing Li Peiyu's dazed expression, Lu Yuzhi put his arm around her waist and asked, "Are you satisfied with your husband's abilities?"
"Satisfied, satisfied."
The car circled the bustling city of S for a full lap before finally coming to a smooth stop at a villa on the outskirts of the city. This was the very villa that Lu Yu had previously gifted to her.
After lunch, Lu Yuzhi said gently, "Go and take a nap. I have important matters to discuss with the Ji family here later."
"Mm." Li Peiyu nodded slightly, and immediately a young woman dressed in an exquisite cheongsam, who looked like a manager, walked gracefully to her side and said softly, "Boss, this way please."
Li Peiyu was led into an exquisitely decorated Chinese-style room, where every detail exuded elegance and luxury.
She had just lain down on the bed, looking slightly tired, and hadn't even had a chance to relax properly when her phone suddenly rang urgently, the sharp ringtone shattering the room's tranquility.
Li Peiyu frowned slightly, picked up the phone and saw that the caller ID showed Guo Jiahe.
Instantly, a pleasant smile involuntarily appeared on her lips, and her eyes were filled with joy. She then quickly answered the phone.
Guo Jiahe's urgent voice came through, "Boss, I've finished filming, I need to go back."
"When?" Li Peiyu's voice carried a hint of anticipation.
"My flight is tonight, and I'll arrive tomorrow morning," Guo Jiahe said, his voice filled with excitement.
"I'll come pick you up."
"Mmm," Guo Jiahe replied.
"I promised to come see you, but—"
"It's okay, the company's busy. I understand."
After a brief chat with Guo Jiahe, Li Peiyu had just hung up when her phone rang urgently again.
It's Mom.
Li Peiyu quickly answered the phone, "Mom?"
"Yu Yu, have you and Lu Yuzhi registered your marriage?" Her mother's voice came from the other end of the phone, filled with concern and inquiry.
"Yes, I just got it," Li Peiyu replied softly.
"Are you truly willing to marry him?" The mother's tone carried a hint of worry.
"Mom, isn't it a bit too late for you to ask now? We've already got the marriage certificate."
“He suddenly came to our house yesterday, saying he wanted to surprise you on your birthday, propose to you, and even get a marriage certificate with you. When I heard that, I was a little dazed, but then I thought he was indeed getting on in years, so I thought I'd just give in to him. Anyway, if you don't want to, he can't force you.” Mom said all at once, her words full of explanation.
“Yes, I’m willing, Mom. Thank you for understanding.” Li Peiyu’s voice was full of gratitude.
"Sigh, when I saw you hugging her downstairs that day, I knew you were willing. Just like your brother said, you got a good deal. Her family is big and powerful, and the fact that they're willing to share with you is the greatest sincerity. You must treat her well and not be fickle," Mom earnestly advised.
“Yes, Mom,” Li Peiyu replied obediently.
"I know you two are busy, but try to make time to come home and have a meal together." Mom's voice was full of expectation.
"Mmm," Li Peiyu replied, feeling a warm glow in her heart.
Li Peiyu had just hung up the phone and was about to go to sleep when her phone rang again. It was her company assistant calling.
"Mr. Li, something has happened."
"What's wrong?"
"Wen Yan went into the director's room last night and didn't return home. She was photographed by reporters, and the news has now been released."
"What?"
Wen Yan was signed by Li Peiyu two months ago and was scheduled to play the female lead's best friend in a drama. Although her role wasn't large, the character was lively, playful, and quirky, making her quite likable. Li Peiyu greatly admired Wen Yan's acting skills and spared no effort in securing this role for her. However, before filming even began, she secretly contacted the director, and was even photographed doing so. This was tantamount to ruining her career, and she likely won't be able to get the role she had previously secured.
The artist she had just signed had his career end before it even officially began. Li Peiyu felt terrible thinking about how all the effort she had put in for him had gone down the drain. She was filled with a bellyful of anger that she couldn't vent.
Li Peiyu sent a message to Lu Yuzhi saying: "Something's come up at the company, I need to go over there."
Lu Yuzhi called immediately, his tone very gentle, "Take the bodyguard's car back."
"Um."
The president of the Ji Group, who was talking to Lu Yuzhi, put down the documents in his hand, looked at Lu Yuzhi, and couldn't help but sigh deeply, saying, "President Lu, you seem much gentler than before."
"Is that so?" Lu Yuzhi raised an eyebrow, a faint smile curving his lips.
Recalling the tense scene when he clashed with Lu Yuzhi, the president of the Ji Group said, "You used to be very aggressive. Every time I saw you, I felt like I was facing a formidable enemy, and the atmosphere was oppressive and tense. Now you are much more pleasing to the eye and make people feel much closer to you."
"If President Ji likes me as I am now, then our cooperation will definitely be very pleasant."
"How could it not be pleasant to join forces and swallow up the Qin family?"
Hahaha.
Li Peiyu returned to the company in a hurry. As soon as she stepped into the company gate, she could clearly feel that the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Everyone sat quietly at their desks, the entire office area deathly silent, everyone looking tense. Everyone knew Wen Yan was in a scandal, and at this sensitive time, no one dared to joke or play around, for fear of incurring bad luck.
Li Peiyu walked heavily into Wang Boyang's office with a gloomy face.
As soon as I entered, I saw Wen Yan crying her eyes out in Wang Boyang's office.
Wang Boyang, his face contorted with rage, roared, "Shut up! Didn't you expect this day to come when you were sneaking into the director's bed? You violated the company's artist code of conduct, causing huge losses to the company. Your contract is terminated."
Wen Yan sobbed and pleaded, "President Wang, please don't terminate the contract. No other company will want me, and I'm finished."
"If you're done for, give up your dreams of becoming a star and go home to farm." Wang Boyang remained unmoved, his tone cold and ruthless.
"No, Mr. Wang, please give me another chance." Wen Yan's eyes were blurry with tears. When she saw Li Peiyu arrive, it was as if she had seen a lifeline. She rushed over and grabbed Li Peiyu's hand tightly. "Mr. Li, save me."
