A grand feast for the Chinese entertainment industry

Chapter 77 Satisfaction
She finished eating first and went out to buy two cups of coffee, but Lin Xilei was sitting in the corridor outside. She took the initiative to do it and rushed downstairs.

So she went back to her seat, sipped her juice, and watched Lin Jianlu eat.

"Your assistant is quite sensible."

"Ah."

"It's so beautiful."

"Ah."

"But it seems like you don't like having her with you."

She paused briefly with her chopsticks, thought for a moment, and said, "She's Sister Ge's person, so she has plenty of options. As for me, I've only known her for a few months, but I already trust her quite a bit. She won't stay long; she'll take any opportunity to act!"

She nodded in realization, though it was unclear whether she had understood.

Suddenly, the topic shifted to a new one, "Actually, I've never really understood what you want me to change. I feel like you want me to sing... a bit more broken?"

"You have a good understanding! To be precise, times have changed. People are no longer emphasizing social aspects as much, but are starting to emphasize individuality more and more. Your singing style used to be very pleasant to listen to, but it can become outdated in the blink of an eye. I hope to bring out the unique part of your voice... a sense of fragmentation, yes, a little bit. While preserving your original mellow and clear tone, I only need you to make a slight change in your pronunciation and rhythm. Too much change would make it not be you anymore! You have a solid foundation, and you shouldn't lose it!"

She nodded again, but there was a clear sense of bewilderment in her eyes.

Lin Jianlu had just finished eating when there was a knock on the door. Lin Xilei brought over two large cups of coffee.

It was still windy and rainy outside, and her hair and upper body were a little wet.

Chen Shuhua quickly found some tissues and handed them to her.

She took it, thanked him, and then quickly left.

Lin Jianlu remained motionless from beginning to end. After she left, he looked away, a hint of regret in his eyes, "It's a pity I didn't get completely soaked!"

Chen Shuhua was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "You're really a lecher!"

However, Lin Jianlu continued to comment, "She has a really great figure! She will become famous! But it is unlikely that she will be able to change her image. The worst thing is that she will become famous by taking her clothes off, then it will really be difficult for her to change her image."

She couldn't understand any more, and Chen Shuhua looked completely bewildered.

But Lin Jianlu only said these few words, then fell silent again. After taking a few sips of coffee, he got up and walked to the window, standing there straight, watching the wind and rain outside, sipping his coffee in small sips.

After a while, Chen Shuhua also came over, looked at him, and looked at the tall buildings outside in the wind and rain.

Several minutes passed before Lin Jianlu turned to look at her and asked, "Are you very sad?"

The topic came abruptly, yet not abruptly. Chen Shuhua pursed her lips, then smiled after a moment, "Yes."

Lin Jianlu placed the coffee cup on the windowsill, took her hand, and she turned to look at Lin Jianlu. He gently pulled her over and hugged her. She remained silent, softly letting Lin Jianlu hold her tightly.

He even put down his coffee cup.

As it buried its head in Lin Jianlu's chest, it let out a barely perceptible sigh of satisfaction.

"Back in the capital, you said 'we,' what did you mean by 'we'?"

She chuckled softly, "It's nothing."

Holding her in my arms, the wind and rain gently fell on the glass, creating a sense of tranquility amidst the turbulent storm.

Outside the window, lights were already twinkling in every home.

She was a gentle woman, and now she seemed to have a gentleness she had never felt before. Gradually, she turned around and hugged Lin Jianlu tightly, rubbing her head against Lin Jianlu's shoulder.

"Actually, what I wanted to ask at the time was, 'Can we... take another step forward?'"

Why didn't you ask?

"I'm afraid you'll refuse." "Why? You haven't even tried."

"The way you looked at me then was so calm. I was suddenly afraid."

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, then hugged her tightly—her perception was clearly correct and accurate; Lin Jianlu was indeed conservative at that time.

He was an ordinary person at heart. Even though he was already famous, very famous, he wasn't a naive 20-year-old. He was actually full of fear about fame and the problems that might arise after he became famous.

He not only rejected Chen Shuhua's affections and brushed off Su Huilun's advances, but also subtly distanced himself from Lin Xilei. He dealt with Liang Yongqi's repeated explicit and implicit advances, actively sabotaged several ambiguous relationships with Liu Ruoying, and never genuinely tried to connect with Guan Zhilin. In fact... he viewed everything he did in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and everything he was about to do, as mere entertainment. It was all about making money.

He was truly content with a modest life, genuinely wanting to make more money so he could return to the capital and settle down in peace and prosperity—ideally, marrying someone close to his age like Gao Yuanyuan or Fan Bingbing would be perfect. But actually, it didn't have to be either of them; he could just marry a pretty and lovely girl, and then the prince and princess would live happily ever after.

Beautiful.

Happy ending.

I've thought about a family of five, but deep down I feel it's unlikely.

Just a joke.

However, it's hard to say exactly why or where it started, but his state of mind and thoughts seemed to be subtly changing every day. Looking back, he realized that it was probably that night with Brigitte Lin, when he indulged himself and easily succeeded, that had the biggest impact on his state of mind.

I thought that all those flirting and jokes were just playing along.

You tease me, and I tease you back.

He knew perfectly well that he was a womanizer, but he didn't intend to put his desires into practice, mainly because he didn't want any subsequent trouble or entanglements. However, Brigitte Lin was already over forty and so charming and unrestrained, so it seemed that taking another half step forward and testing the waters wouldn't cause too much trouble.

My mindset at that time collapsed instantly.

However, to his surprise, she responded so positively. It seemed that it wasn't just acting.

Later, it even seemed like they took it quite seriously.

Once the floodgates of desire are opened, they cannot be closed again.

Because it wasn't just simple desire!

Her grace and charm are so captivating.

Like Chen Shuhua at this moment, she is so gentle and obedient, with a quiet and dignified air unique to girls of the previous generation, yet she always has a kind of adoring and demanding affection in front of me—although she rarely expresses it seriously and honestly, her feelings are always hard to hide.

How could I not be tempted?

How could one not be attracted to her beauty?
How could one not want to open the door to desire?

I want to hold her in my arms, I want to caress her exquisite body, I want to possess her, to protect her…

Let's write some songs for her and put together an EP!
Let's sing a duet together!
Never mind, she's pitiful enough, let's make an album for her...

All of that is just scratching the surface!

Only in this moment, truly holding her in my arms, smelling her fragrance, wrapping my arms around her waist, squeezing her breasts, feeling her unique tenderness and silence, did I finally feel satisfied.

I asked her, "Would you like to take me back to my hotel?"

She chuckled, "No! The company has arranged a car for you! Your assistant is waiting for you outside!"

Lin Jianlu laughed too, "I'm always so greedy..."

She fell silent for a long while before finally saying, "Okay!"
