Huayu: Live a carefree life

Even happier than Chen Duling and Zhang Ruonan were their agents. Zhang Ruonan's agent was alright, as he dealt with Lu Jie a lot.

Moreover, he had previously witnessed his punishment of "Young Master Yang," and when he hugged and congratulated her, he told her not to be nervous and to treat it as a normal business announcement.

Meanwhile, Chen Duling's agent, who is also her mother, was watching the gala on her computer at home in Xiamen, but she was more bewildered than happy.

To save money and avoid embarrassment, since Dudu wasn't among the invited guests, she didn't go to Beijing with them.

Thinking of this, she immediately called Chen Duling's assistant, but the assistant hadn't entered the waiting area either and couldn't explain why.

At times like these, she felt as if she had indeed taken the wrong path and shouldn't have kept her daughter by her side for the sake of maximizing profits.

But she knew very well that there was no free lunch in this world. Who was helping her daughter, and what were their motives?

Do we want people, or people...? Or... do we want both people?

Unfortunately, no matter how she thinks about it now, it's no use. She can only find out by calling her daughter after the event.

Luo Rong presented trophies to everyone in turn, and Lu Jie presented certificates to everyone.

Ju Jingyi had been observing Lu Jie ever since he came on stage. Her first impression of him was how tall he was, and her second impression was how handsome he was.

Her high heels, including the platform, were 12 centimeters high, making her walk like she was on stilts, but she still had to look up at Lu Jie when she stood in front of him.

She was so focused on observing that when Lu Jie handed her the certificate, she didn't thank him immediately. She blinked twice before realizing it.

He then smiled, nodded, and said "thank you."

Lu Jie had also observed this "once-in-four-thousand-years" beauty, but he was somewhat disappointed when he met her in person. She was beautiful, but definitely not as exaggerated as "once-in-four-thousand-years".

"Congratulations, Dudu~" Lu Jie whispered a close nickname when presenting the certificate to Chen Duling, and for the first time, he didn't mention "sister".

Chen Duling accepted the certificate, looked earnestly at Lu Jie with a smile, and her eyes welled up with tears. "Lu Jie, thank you! Really, thank you!"

"Don't mention it, Dudu. Meeting is fate. Besides, even if it were another girl I didn't know being bullied, I would still stand up for her."

Lu Jie knew what she wanted to thank, but deliberately misinterpreted it, "Dudu, you'd better hurry up and think of your thank-you speech, or you might get stuck later~"

"Yes, I know. Thank you~" Chen Duling smiled sweetly.

"A pleasant surprise?" Lu Jie adopted a different approach when dealing with Zhang Ruonan.

Taking the certificate, Zhang Ruonan bit her lip and nodded repeatedly. "I was stunned when I heard my name~ Um, thank you, bro, hehe~"

"Hehe, you're welcome. Don't say anything out of the ordinary later, and definitely don't say anything like 'I can do it, just be gentle' again~"

Upon hearing these teasing words, Zhang Ruonan's face flushed instantly, and her eyes welled up with tears. "Brother! You..."

Fortunately, she was quite clear-headed and knew the situation was inappropriate. She bit her lip and protested softly, "Why do you like teasing me so much!"

Lu Jie clapped in a mock manner, but his reply was unusually ambiguous: "Who told you to be so cute? You're worth the effort to tease~"

"Hehe, calm down, let's prepare your thank-you speech~"

He said I'm cute! He said I'm worth the effort he puts into teasing! What does he mean? He really has feelings for me!

Zhang Ruonan started brainstorming again. Wasn't his girlfriend Ma Fanshu? No, he seemed to have mentioned four or five names that night!

My agent has hinted that Mr. Lu is a womanizer and told me to take advantage of his interest in me to get more benefits, but... I have no experience! Help! Someone teach me how to date!

Lu Jie and Luo Rong gave the center stage to the six young artists. Backstage, Luo Rong patted Lu Jie on the shoulder.

"Mr. Lu has good taste; both girls have their own unique charm." He then stretched, "Phew~ I've finally finished my tasks for today. Time to go home and sleep~"

Lu Jie glanced at his watch; it was only a little past 8. "So early? Lao Luo, are you living such a healthy life these days?"

Luo Rong waved his hand, "There's nothing I can do, my sister-in-law wants to practice on an alternate account, so I won't be able to play for a while. That'll make my life more regular~"

"Your flight attendant group disbanded?" Lu Jie asked in confusion. This CEO Luo was also known for his love of playing around, especially his fondness for uniform fetishes.

"We're not disbanded. Didn't I say we wouldn't be able to play for a while?" Luo Rong waved to Chen Duling and the other girl as they approached. "Let's go, let's go, we won't stop you from picking up girls~"

Both girls originally had something to say to Lu Jie, but upon seeing each other, they both became reserved.

Lu Jie walked up to the two women first, deliberately scratching his chin in a slightly greasy manner, "You two just stood there watching? You didn't even say anything about hugging or anything, sigh~ what a waste of your time~"

The two women looked at each other and smiled. Chen Duling stepped forward first and gave him a gentle hug. "Thank you, Lu Jie. For everything!"

"Hehe, you're welcome." Lu Jie didn't take the opportunity to make advances and politely ended the encounter.

Zhang Ruonan was still angry about the words "I can, just be gentle," but not at Lu Jie, but at herself!

Because she had never been in a relationship before, but she said such things, it must have left a very bad impression on Lu Jie.

She pouted and gently hugged Lu Jie, whispering in his ear, "Brother, I've never been in a relationship before, really, you have to believe me!"

Lu Jie gently patted her back, "Relax, of course I believe Nan Nan, it was just a joke, we won't mention it again~"

However, Zhang Ruonan took the opportunity to kiss Lu Jie, "Brother~ Now, I'm really ready, remember to be gentle~"

"Hiss..." Lu Jie was surprised that Zhang Ruonan, who had always been a bit simple-minded, would suddenly do something like this, and he almost lost his composure.

Just as I was about to give her a piece of my mind, the girl had already retreated to a safe distance. "Brother, I'm going back to my seat now, hehe~ goodbye, Sister Dudu~"

"Goodbye, Nan Nan~" Chen Duling, who knew nothing about it, waved politely to her.

After she walked away, he gave Lu Jie a gentle smile and asked, "Lu Jie, aren't you going back to the venue?"

"Yes, Dudu, I have something to do later~"

Chen Duling pouted slightly, "Oh, if you have something to do, then forget it. I was thinking of treating you to a late-night snack."

Lu Jie thought to himself that it was unfortunate that the girl had taken the initiative to invite him to a late-night snack, which meant there was great potential, but unfortunately Fanfan's attack speed set was still more attractive.

He shrugged regretfully. "That's really unfortunate. The matter was arranged earlier, a small project worth a billion or so."

On average, it's over 300 million each time, just like Fanfan's daily routine of three wins. Today, with the attack speed set, it's two more wins, so over a billion is no problem.

Chen Duling, of course, had no idea that Lu Jie was talking nonsense. She thought he was really going to discuss business. When she heard that the business was so big, she stuck out her tongue and exclaimed that the big boss was indeed amazing.

After failing to arrange a meal, Chen Duling waved goodbye and returned to the venue through a side door.

As Lu Jie walked out, he sent a message to Gong Yu saying that he would go ahead first.

At that moment, Liu Haocun sent him a voice message: "You naughty husband, I heard you played the hero and saved a damsel in distress today~"

Xiao Cun's distinctive boyish voice is very pleasant to listen to, but how did she know that? Lu Jie sent a message to ask the question that had been bothering him.

"Xiaotong said so~ She went today and witnessed your heroic feat!"

Lu: Some idiot was flirting with a girl right in front of me. As your husband, I'm a very upright person, so of course I have to lend a hand.

"Hmm~ My husband is the most upright person ever~ So upright that he not only helped someone out of an awkward situation, but also gave them an award, right? Hmph~"

Lu Jie's lips twitched. How did he even know this? He quickly asked, and sure enough, it was true.

"Xiaotong told me! All the awards were arranged in advance, but then Chen Duling and Zhang Ruonan suddenly appeared, hmph~"

"Oh right, Zhang Ruonan! You silly husband, who is this Zhang Ruonan, this enchanting beauty~"

Guan Xiaotong, I'm going to work at 8 AM!
