Huayu: Live a carefree life

"I'll create a WeChat group so we can play games together sometime," Lu Jie said without mentioning that the two girls add each other on WeChat.

It's not that you can't add them, but you have to wait until they've been stacked together before you can.

Stacking them up is like a ghost story; there are only two possibilities: zero times or countless times. Once you experience something, you can never go back.

Chen Duling and Zhang Ruonan were unaware of the wicked thoughts budding in Lu Jie's mind, and after getting to know each other, they both nodded in agreement.

"Okay, Dudu, what position do you play in LOL?" Zhang Ruonan naturally sat on the other side of Lu Jie, maintaining a very good social distance.

Chen Duling had mostly recovered her composure by now, and smiled and nodded upon hearing this, "I play mid lane more often, what about you, Nan Nan?"

"I like playing ADC, but I'm not very good at it. When there are a lot of people, I get flustered and often miss my skills."

Many people in the industry had just witnessed Lu Jie beating someone up, and they were now discussing it in small groups.

On the set of "Legend of Yunxi", Ju Jingyi quietly asked her agent, "Who is this person? He was so fierce just now~ He seemed to know President Gong very well."

The agent glanced cautiously in Lu Jie's direction, covered her mouth and whispered, "I don't know him either, but I do know the guy he beat up, it's Yang Wei from Kiwi."

"I tried to take advantage of you last time, but I only stopped after being warned by President Wang. I heard that your family is a shareholder of the Du family."

Ju Jingyi looked at her manager in surprise, "Why haven't you mentioned this before?"

Why would I tell you about something so upsetting? I wouldn't have said anything today if I hadn't seen him get his comeuppance.

The agent smiled and said, "We probably won't be seeing this young master Yang anymore."

Seeing Ju Jingyi's eager expression, the manager continued, "Think about it, today is Kiwi's home turf, and he got beaten up on his own turf."

"Gong Yu came but didn't help him. Instead, she humbly chatted and laughed with the people who were beating him. Is it even necessary to ask who has the higher status?"

"This CEO Gong has never been this kind of patient with us production companies and agencies." The agent leaned closer as he said this.

He said in an even lower voice, "At the last cocktail party, a similar situation occurred, and President Gong also stepped in to clean up the mess for this young master Yang."

"As a result, the actress's agency apologized, but the woman didn't escape that night."

Ju Jingyi covered her mouth, her eyes wide, "It's so dark?"

The agent pursed her lips, feeling that her artist was simply too well-protected. "What do you think? We should be thankful that President Wang is quite protective of his own and a decent person..."

Ju Jingyi and Xu Jiaqi, who were also listening intently, exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly. This agent was good in every way, except that she would occasionally give them motivational speeches about the company.

After chatting with the two women for a while, Lu Jie went ahead to the inner rest area, which was where the bigwigs from the investors should be.

As soon as he appeared, Luo Rong, the vice president of Dujia, teased him, "Oh, isn't this our President Lu, who once risked everything for a woman?"

He handed Lu Jie a freshly trimmed cigar, saying, "Have you finished chatting with your 'friends'? Try this, it's a premium one that Old Li just opened."

Lu Jie took the cigar, gently squeezed it to feel its elasticity, and then brought it to his nose to smell it. "Hmm, such a pure flavor. This batch of cigars has been aged for at least twelve years."

Luo Rong smiled and gave Lu Jie a thumbs up, "President Lu is indeed an expert, exactly twelve years."

Lu Jie sat down, lit a cigar, took a light puff, and then played with it in his hand. "Don't laugh at me, Mr. Luo, but when I first smoked a cigar, I thought it was just a thicker cigarette."

"Then this huge backlash almost killed me." Lu Jie took the champagne offered by the waiter and took a small sip. "Hmm, this wine is not bad~"

"The wine was prepared by Gong Yu, and I think it's quite good too." Luo Rong smiled. "I really didn't realize that you, President Lu, who are so refined, are so ruthless when it comes to fighting."

Lu Jie glanced at him suspiciously. "President Luo, you're not going to stand up for that good-for-nothing, are you?"

"You said he's a good-for-nothing, why would I stand up for him?" Luo Rong still grinned. "I'm just curious, when did you and that Chen Duling get together?"

Lu Jie rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Why are you being so gossipy these days? Can't I just stand up for what's right?"

"Haha, of course! Mr. Lu, you truly have the spirit of youth." Luo Rong laughed and raised his glass in invitation, "Come on, cheers~"

Taking a sip of champagne, Lu Jie looked at Gong Yu and said, "President Gong, I've looked at the list of projects to be launched that you sent me. I'll ask for the female lead role for Chen Duling in 'The Twin Flower Legend'."

Gong Yu was taken aback, because this project wasn't Dai Ying's responsibility; she was really pushing her colleagues to their limits all the time.

He vaguely remembered that the female lead for the project had already been chosen, but since he had been promised to let him choose, he could only bite the bullet and agree. "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to contact Chen Duling's agent tomorrow."

"Also, kissing scenes and intimate scenes must be done using camera tricks or body doubles; I don't want my friend to suffer any losses."

Gong Yu only dared to complain about her toothache. You're just trying to avoid getting hurt, aren't you? No wonder you don't go after popular actresses and only go after obscure ones. I'll spread the word about it later!

But on the surface, he just sighed deeply, "Fine! Whatever you say, Mr. Lu, goes! I can't fight you with my little arms."

"Tch, Lao Luo, listen to him, he's making sarcastic remarks about me~" Lu Jie said, feigning innocence after getting the benefit.

Luo Rong, who was smoking a cigar, almost choked. "Cough cough, you little brat~ let's leave it at that, Mr. Lu, what do you think?"

"I knew you were here to stand up for that good-for-nothing!" Lu Jie tapped Luo Rong with his cigar. "Fine, let that good-for-nothing surnamed Yang watch his step in the future."

The person most unhappy with Yang Wei was Gong Yu. He took the opportunity to tell Luo Rong his punishment plan, "Don't worry, I've already given the order. Tomorrow, he'll be sent to the Korean branch!"

Lu Jie could tell from Luo Rong's mediation that the Yang family had some influence, and seeing Gong Yu's eagerness to speak, he knew that they wanted to make it official as soon as possible.

He didn't mind being used as a pawn in this matter. He glanced at Gong Yu indifferently, then looked at Luo Rong, "I think it's fine. Out of sight, out of mind. What do you think, Mr. Luo?"

"How to handle it is an internal matter for Kiwi Fruit; CEO Gong can decide." Luo Rong shrugged, raised his glass in invitation, and said, "Cheers~"

Luo Rong naturally saw through Gong Yu's little scheme, but he didn't care. If the Yang family and the Li family weren't related by marriage, he wouldn't bother with this mess.

After chatting for a few minutes, Luo Rong got up and went to the restroom.

Taking the opportunity, Lu Jie patted Gong Yu on the shoulder and said with a wicked smile, "President Gong, you owe me another favor this time~"

After looking around, Gong Yu didn't deny it. "Okay, I knew I couldn't hide it from you. I'll remember this."

"You think Lao Luo can't see through it? You're being too eager!" Lu Jie didn't demand immediate repayment of the favor. "What kind of prizes did you arrange for them?"

Gong Yu pouted, "So what if he figured it out? Do you think I'm afraid of him? You'll personally present the 'Most Promising Drama Actor of the Year' award to both of them!"

Lu Jie nodded and smiled noncommittally.
