Huayu: Live a carefree life

Chapter 18 Interlude

After this little incident, Lu Jie continued his private time with Hu Lianxin, the quiet kind.

There was nothing that could be done; just as Xiao Hu's relative had said last night, she arrived today. Lu Jie immediately transformed into a warm-hearted man, patiently taking care of his girlfriend.

Although Lu Jie is a scumbag, he's not a complete scumbag, and he's not with girls just for sex.

The big hand warmed Xiao Hu's belly, and she nestled on the sofa to watch TV for a while before she drifted off to sleep.

After she fell asleep, Lu Jie turned off the TV, carried her to the bedroom, covered her with a blanket, closed the bedroom door, went to the kitchen to start simmering chicken soup, and then went into the study to continue his official business.

When Xiao Hu woke up that night, the girl from Guangdong province was moved to tears when she drank the chicken soup her boyfriend had lovingly cooked.

"Xinbao, don't get excited. This is just a routine thing. Did your brother not treat you well enough before, which is why you're so surprised?" Lu Jie's heart melted at her adorable and charming appearance, so he quickly teased her to distract her.

"No way! My brother is the best person in the world to me!" Xiao Hu sniffed, put down her soup bowl, snuggled into Lu Jie's arms, and said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Honey~ hug me~"

Lu Jie flicked her nose in an annoyed tone. "Stop messing around! You know you're impotent, yet you still try to seduce me?"

"But I still have my brother's favorite..." Xiao Hu said coquettishly, biting her lip lightly.

Lu Jie was unusually unmoved, and vigorously rubbed Xiao Hu's pretty face. "Get some rest. We're not having an affair, and I'm not that thirsty!"

"Oh~ Hehe~ So I was right, brother is the best person to me in the world~" Xiao Hu kissed Lu Jie and emphasized again.

Lu Jie affectionately rubbed her head. "Alright, drink the soup while it's hot. I added angelica and red dates, which will be good for your cold uterus."

"Mmm~" Little Hu nodded vigorously, "Brother~ are you deliberately spoiling me so much that I can't bear to leave you no matter what?"

"Hehe, guess~"

"Hehe, I'm not going to guess, I'm sticking with you for life~"

"That settles it then~"

…………

The first workday after the scandal.

Tencent Video, Kiwi Films, and Lingjie Entertainment (which appeared out of nowhere) – all three official Weibo accounts reposted the official lineup announcement from the official Weibo account of "Spirit Sword Mountain".

There are no morals on Spirit Sword Mountain, and the path of cultivation is carefree and joyful!

@Tencent Video @Kiwi Films @Lingjie Entertainment Investment @Hengxing Gravity Media

"Ah~ girls, Soso's new drama has been officially announced! Let's all go for it!"

"Soso is incredibly handsome! Wait, where are my brother's stills?"

"My Yao sister is finally the female lead!!! Tears of joy!!!"

"As expected, Yao-mei was right to leave that broken ship, Sugar Man! Go Yao-mei, Qi-zai will always be with you!"

…………

Unlike the general public, ABB's Sun Jingxiao was stunned when she saw the sudden official announcement of the "Spirit Sword Mountain" project and the fact that there was no production team of her own.

It took three calls to get through to Han Zijie. He learned from the call that someone had specifically named them to be kicked out because they had been making underhanded moves behind the scenes.

Sun Jingxiao had to lower herself and say all sorts of nice things to get the information from Han Zijie that Zhang Rongrong, that idiot, had been caught doing something underhanded. Although it didn't cause any serious consequences, the person had still managed to get the three major video platforms to cooperate in banning Zhang Rongrong.

Upon hearing the word "ban," Sun Jing broke out in a cold sweat and quickly begged for forgiveness, saying she knew nothing about it.

Han Zijie remained indifferent, but he reassured him by saying that the person hadn't said they would boycott ABB, but that this time they wouldn't cooperate, and that they would pay to buy out all of ABB's initial preparations and investments.

Sun Jingxiao believed that President Lu would keep his word, and hung up the phone with profuse thanks.

Being tricked and having to be extremely grateful and humble yourself is unpleasant, but that's how it is in the entertainment industry, or rather, in any industry.

Leaning back in the boss's chair, Sun Jingxiao angrily hung up Yu Zhongzhong's phone. It was all those two clueless Wanchai glutinous rice balls; they were more trouble than they were worth.

…………

"Honey, I've changed my plans and am going back to Beijing the day after tomorrow. Will you still have time to pick me up? I miss you~" Chen Yao's voice was as gentle and tender as ever.

Lu Jie, of course, was not oblivious to her feelings. "I'll be free when Yao Yao comes back. I miss you too~ I'll go to the airport to pick you up as planned."

"Mmm, my husband is the best, Mua~" Chen Yao said happily over the phone, "We can talk about the rest when we meet tomorrow~"

"Okay, that's all for now."

"Okay, bye-bye, honey."

…………

Lu Jie's appointment as president of Tencent Video has not yet been officially announced, so he is currently still working at his own company, Lingjie Capital.

Assistant Xiao Wu entered Lu Jie's office carrying a folder. She was already quite good-looking, and her haute couture suit paired with wide-leg pants and high heels made her look very capable.

"Boss, Mr. Han from Tencent Video called and said there's a good script for an idol drama. It's an original script by a Taiwanese screenwriter, but it involves time travel, and Tencent internally decided it was too risky and didn't approve it. But Mr. Han is very optimistic about this project and asked if you're interested. The script outline is already printed out here."

Lu Jie looked up and pinched his brow helplessly. "Xiao Wu, hasn't HR found a suitable person yet? I can't do everything myself, can I?"

"Hehe, the more capable you are, the more work you should do, boss~" Xiao Wu and Lu Jie are very close. Although they don't have a physical relationship, Xiao Wu speaks more casually than his women. "By the way, I flipped through it when I was organizing the printings. As far as my appreciation level in the Chinese Department of Yenching University is concerned, it is indeed quite good."

Lu Jie was very confident in the abilities of his subordinates, and he became genuinely interested when he heard Xiao Wu say this. "Oh? Then I'll have to study it carefully later."

"By the way, Xiao Wu, I'll definitely be starting work at Weishi after the National Day holiday. Could you keep an eye on Lingjie's business for me?"

"No, please don't!" Xiao Wu immediately waved his hands in refusal. "I'm too skinny to handle such a heavy burden! You should just take care of it yourself, or find a professional manager? You're not short of that salary~"

Lu Jie was used to his assistant's rather lazy work attitude. "Fine~ then you can continue to stay by my side? I'll ask Weishi to pay you a salary later."

"Yay~ Long live the boss!" Xiao Wu was overjoyed to hear he was getting double pay. "Well, boss, you keep busy, I'll head out now~"

"Go ahead, go ahead, you're more free than me overall."

Xiao Wu peeked at Lu Jie's computer screen and asked, "Aren't you playing games too, Hearthstone?"

"You dare peek at the boss's screen? You want your pay docked, huh?"

"No, no, no, I'll go out now. You can have fun all you want!"
