Huayu: Live a carefree life

The visitors were Gong Yu and his party, the heads of the kiwi video company.

As soon as the conflict broke out, a sharp-eyed staff member immediately reported it to his superiors, but the report was that "Young Master Yang was beaten up."

Gong Yu was so busy all day that he was furious when he heard the news. Yang Wei, that good-for-nothing second-generation rich kid, had indeed caused him a lot of trouble.

But one thing at a time, even if he made a thousand mistakes, he was still a senior executive at Kiwi Fruit. If he was bullied in his own territory, it would be a disgrace to the entire Du family.

Upon seeing Lu Jie, Gong Yu was taken aback, and his originally gloomy expression immediately turned from dark to cloudy.

She warmly extended her hand to shake his, "Mr. Lu, I was just looking everywhere for you. I didn't expect to find you wandering around here."

"President Gong." Lu Jie smiled politely, "I have a friend in the waiting area, so I came over to say hello."

Then, gesturing towards Yang Wei, she said, "This kid's from your Kiwi Fruit, right? How are you going to settle this score for bullying my friend?"

"Uh..." When Gong Yu saw Chen Duling, he roughly guessed the outline of the matter.

It must be that Yang Wei's old habits have kicked in again. He just didn't check the almanac before going out this time, and he ran into a brick wall. Not only did he suffer a loss, but he also brought shame to the Du family.

Gong Yu glared at Yang Wei fiercely, determined to report to Lao Li tomorrow and have that bastard transferred back to headquarters.

But no matter how angry he was, he had to calm things down first, so he took small steps closer to Lu Jie.

He said in a voice only the two of them and Chen Duling could hear, "His father, uncle, and aunt are all shareholders of the Du family. He was spoiled rotten since he was a child."

"Brother, you're also a shareholder of the Du family. A magnanimous person shouldn't hold a grudge against a petty person. You should be forgiving when you can."

Lu Jie still had a smile on his face, but his voice was much more gloomy. "I'm asking you how you're going to settle the score for him bullying my friend."

"Furthermore, Gong Yu, you need to understand one thing: my Lingjie Capital and I are also shareholders of your Du family, understand?"

Gong Yu was internally ranting about Yang Wei and Lu Jie's household registrations, but on the surface, she maintained a respectable demeanor with a slightly awkward smile.

"Hey... Mr. Lu, please don't make things difficult for me. You're all fighting like gods, and I've inexplicably gotten caught in the crossfire. Whatever you say, I'll do it!"

Lu Jie was waiting for him to back down. "You should have said this earlier. Are you trying to intimidate me with your good-for-nothing father?"

Upon hearing that things had taken a turn for the better, Gong Yu disregarded her pride and quickly clasped her hands together in a gesture of apology, "President Lu, I was wrong, okay? Just tell me what to do and I'll do it!"

"First, let's talk about compensation. Next year, my friend will get a leading role in Kiwi's self-produced drama."

Without hesitation, Gong Yu nodded immediately, "No problem, you can choose any of the female lead roles in any of the self-produced dramas that haven't started filming yet! Dai Ying, send all your current projects to President Lu later!"

"Understood, President Gong." Dai Ying thought to herself, "Why are they trying to steal my project? I should have stayed put."

Gong Yu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lu Jie, "Mr. Lu, is this alright?"

"Don't rush, let's talk about the apology later." Seeing that he was so sensible, Lu Jie's attitude returned to its usual calm.

After giving Chen Duling a wink, he put his arm around his shoulder and pulled him aside for a private chat, "Brother Gong Yu, shouldn't you thank me?"

Gong Yu laughed in exasperation, and retorted in an unfriendly tone, "What, you two are making such a scene, and I'm supposed to thank you?"

"That good-for-nothing dares to openly flirt with actresses in this kind of setting; he must have done a lot of dirty work in the past."

Lu Jie wasn't annoyed by his tone, "Judging from your pathetic state, I can tell you've probably cleaned up his messes quite a bit, haven't you?"

Seeing that Gong Yu pursed her lips and remained silent, he knew that he had guessed correctly.

"I'm going to teach him a lesson today, like a big fish eating a small fish. Even if he's shameless, he won't be able to stay here any longer, right?"

"If you report this to Old Li tomorrow, you'll have a legitimate reason to get rid of him, so shouldn't you thank me?"

Gong Yu thought, "Thank you so much!" But Lu Jie was right; that's exactly what he thought too.

"So, as an apology and a thank you gift, give each of my two friends an award. Anyway, your awards are pretty worthless~" Lu Jie shamelessly took what he wanted and then added a sarcastic remark.

Gong Yu felt her blood pressure rising and gritted her teeth as she complained, "If you don't like the water we're giving you as a reward, then don't take it! Wait... two friends?"

He turned to look at Chen Duling. "Isn't it just Chen Duling who got harassed? Who else? Did you come here to buy merchandise?"

"That's right, Dudu's prize is an apology from the kiwi fruit." Lu Jie glanced at Zhang Ruonan, who was watching the commotion from a distance. "Zhang Ruonan is also my friend. Since she's here, let's give her a prize too."

"Hiss...you...fine, fine, I'm truly impressed by you!" Gong Yu was once again amused by Lu Jie's shamelessness. "Mr. Lu, do you have any other requests?"

"Haha, that's all~"

The two then patted each other on the back and returned to Chen Duling's side as if nothing had happened, while Yang Wei and his group had already slipped away.

Lu Jie pulled Gong Yu aside for a private chat, which was actually to give that good-for-nothing Yang Wei a chance to make a graceful escape. Fortunately, this good-for-nothing wasn't completely stupid.

After Gong Yu and his men left, Lu Jie pulled Chen Duling to sit down and rest. Seeing her staring at him silently, he smiled.

"Sister Duling, what happened to you? Is there something on my face?"

Chen Duling didn't look away, but smiled and said, "Lu Jie, thank you for getting me out of that situation."

"Hey, it was no trouble at all." Lu Jie waved his hand casually. "Even if I didn't know you, I wouldn't just stand by and watch you get bullied by someone like that."

"Besides, we're friends, aren't we?" Lu Jie unscrewed the bottled water on the table and took a sip.

Looking at the handsome man in front of her, Chen Duling felt a flutter in her heart for the first time. "Friends (just... friends)?"

She smiled, unscrewed a bottle of purified water, and clinked it against Lu Jie's. "Yeah, thank you, friend~"

Lu Jie waved to Zhang Ruonan, who had been observing them from a distance, signaling her to come over. "Sister Duling, let me introduce you to a younger sister who also loves playing games~"

Since the conflict began, Zhang Ruonan's gaze has been fixed on Lu Jie.

From her perspective, Lu Jie easily subdued the perpetrator, intimidated him with words, and then negotiated with President Gong, who had arrived, in a polite and measured manner.

Finally, the perpetrator took advantage of his private conversation with President Gong to flee in a disheveled state with his head down.

I heard from others that this person is named Yang Wei, and he often harasses actresses by taking advantage of his status as a producer. Many newcomers like her have been bullied by him.

President Lu has done a service to the people.

Is that incredibly beautiful girl the new friend she's going to introduce me to? Wait, does she seem to beckon me over?

After confirming through eye contact and gestures that she was indeed being called, Zhang Ruonan happily walked quickly to Lu Jie's side.

"Brother, I'm here~"

Lu Jie smiled and nodded. "Nan Nan, this is the friend I mentioned who loves playing LOL, Chen Duling. You can call her Sister Dudu, just like I do."

Zhang Ruonan immediately extended her hand and introduced herself, "Hello, Sister Dudu, I'm actress Zhang Ruonan. You can call me Nannan, just like Lu Jie does~"

"Hello Nan Nan~" Chen Duling reached out and shook hands with her.

At this moment, the two women were each thinking about what exactly was the relationship between Zhang Ruonan (Chen Duling) and Lu Jie.
