Five years without pregnancy means you're too weak; I remarried a powerful man and had triplets
Chapter 88: The Key Was Revealed
As you ascend the sightseeing elevator, it's like traveling through a slowly unfolding ukiyo-e painting.
This was Shen Zhiyi's first time at Jiangxing Entertainment. She had just been wondering why President Lu would personally bring people to process her onboarding, since she was just a lowly editor. But after seeing this huge building, her attention was completely drawn to it.
This sightseeing elevator is located in the center of the building, and you can see the movement of every floor from the first floor to the top floor while sitting inside.
As expected of the number one entertainment company in China, the orderly system of Jiangxing Entertainment is evident from the elevators alone.
Everyone passing by in the corridor walked in a hurry, but their faces still carried a peaceful kindness, as if work was the goal they were striving for.
The building's layout was clearly designed intentionally, with the front and back of the stage separated by a central axis. On the left, you can see the recording studio and photography studio, while on the right is the area where the backstage staff work.
Although the building is tall, it is not lacking in greenery and sunlight. Not only are all four sides made up of floor-to-ceiling windows, but there is also a towering tree in the center that is a hundred meters tall. A beam of sunlight is specially opened up for it from above. The sunlight shines down and makes the whole tree look vibrant, and the building does not feel oppressive.
"It's truly magnificent," she exclaimed sincerely.
Beside him, Lu Zichuan's lips curled slightly. "After we finish the formalities, I'll show you around in detail."
Shen Zhiyi quickly waved her hand, flattered and surprised: "How could I possibly accept such an honor? President Lu is extremely busy. I can just take a look casually. I wouldn't dare trouble you."
Lu Zichuan's smile faded, but he didn't insist any further, only saying, "Then let Xiao Liu accompany him. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
The elevator goes straight to the top floor. Outside the CEO's office is a spacious assistant's work area, all of whom are men, dressed in suits and ties, engrossed in their work.
"Hello, Mr. Lu."
Upon hearing the voice, everyone greeted her in unison, but their eyes involuntarily drifted towards Shen Zhiyi before quickly lowering them to conceal the turmoil in their eyes.
Lu Zichuan, without looking to the side, pushed open the door and entered.
Just as he sat down in the reception area, an assistant knocked on the door to ask, "Mr. Lu, would this young lady like something to drink?"
Lu Zichuan looked at Shen Zhiyi. She said gently, "Plain water is fine, thank you."
The assistant respectfully agreed, closed the door, and left.
Outside the door, the once quiet office area was instantly transformed as if a nuclear bomb had been dropped on it.
"Am I seeing things? There's a woman in Mr. Lu's office?!"
"It's not just getting into the office! That's President Lu's private elevator! In the entire Jiangxing Entertainment, besides Assistant Wang and Assistant Liu, who else gets this kind of treatment?"
"Last time, the rumors about that young lady from the An family and President Lu were all over the place, but what happened? She didn't even get into the reception room on the top floor; she was stopped by Assistant Wang on the fiftieth floor!"
"And last month, Tang Mumu won Best Actress and wanted to capitalize on her success by meeting with President Lu to discuss a new contract. She sneaked up here, but what happened? Assistant Wang chased her away like a fly, and now her screen time has been cut in half!"
"Who exactly is this woman? Did you hear that?"
"I only asked what I wanted to drink, and the look in Mr. Lu's eyes made my legs go weak... I didn't dare listen to a single other word!"
The crowd lowered their voices, but couldn't hide the shock and gossip on their faces, their eyes meeting in disbelief.
Assistant Liu rushed up at this moment and was immediately locked onto by several pairs of eyes.
He was about to reprimand them for "talking during work hours," but when he met his colleagues' eager eyes, he could only smile wryly, lower his voice, and wave his hand: "Don't ask me, I want to know too."
He looked around and, seeing that the crowd was still not giving up, lowered his voice and dropped a bombshell:
"But... haven't you noticed? The way President Lu looks at her is completely different from how he looks at us. It's not like he looks at subordinates, nor like he looks at business partners... tsk, I can't quite put my finger on it, but anyway, we'll have to keep a close eye on this woman from now on, and treat her with some respect."
One sentence sent a jolt through all the assistants present, and their eyes changed as they looked at the tightly closed solid wood door.
On the other side, when Minister Wang received the call from Assistant Liu, he was sitting with his legs crossed, nestled in his leather swivel chair, holding a purple clay teapot, and squinting as he admired the Beijing skyline outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.
He was a veteran of the company, and the one the Lu family specifically hired to keep an eye on things when they were worried about Lu Zichuan starting his own business alone. Whether he made money or not didn't matter; the main thing was not to damage Lu Zichuan's confidence.
But he didn't expect that Lu Zichuan was really capable, able to grow a company of less than ten square meters into its current size in just ten years. He truly deserves to be a child of the Lu family!
Now that the company is on track, he is happy to have some leisure time. He spends his days drinking tea, reading newspapers, and waiting for a glorious retirement. He feels he has lived up to the trust placed in him by the Lu family.
However, when Assistant Liu called to say that President Lu wanted to see him, he was so startled that he quickly put down the tea in his hand and was about to get up. But his next words made Minister Wang exclaim in surprise.
"What! Mr. Lu brought a woman here?!"
His hand trembled, and the scalding tea splashed directly onto his face, dripping down his chin onto his expensive silk shirt.
But he didn't bother wiping himself; he sprang up from the chair like a spring, his eyes bulging so wide they almost popped out of their sockets.
How is that possible!
He has been following Lu Zichuan from the very beginning. Along the way, countless women have tried to get close to Lu Zichuan. Those female celebrities, socialites, and daughters of wealthy families, which one of them didn't use all their charm?
And the result? Forget about entering the office, they weren't even allowed to step into the private elevator on the top floor!
Because of this, Madam Lu privately asked him a lot of questions, implying that her young master Lu might have some kind of hidden problem in that area, or... different sexual orientation?
He once thought so too.
After all, Lu Zichuan is only twenty-eight years old this year, a time of youthful vigor, yet he lives like an ascetic.
He stared at Lu Zichuan for eight years, but never saw a single piece of Daughter Red wine beside him.
He had already silently labeled Lu Zichuan as a "homosexual" in his mind and was preparing to go back and report the truth to the old lady.
But today... Lu Zichuan actually brought a woman with him in person?!
They even went into that heavily guarded top-floor office?
Judging from Assistant Liu's still-shaken tone, Lu Zichuan not only made no attempt to hide anything from that woman, but even... personally opened the car door for her?!
Heaven has eyes! Heaven has eyes! Their CEO, Mr. Lu, has finally come to his senses!
Minister Wang was trembling with excitement. He frantically grabbed a stack of tissues and haphazardly wiped the water stains from his face and the tea stains from his clothes, muttering to himself, "He's finally got it! He's finally gotten it! Our General Manager Lu is about to achieve his goal!"
He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, but the corners of his mouth still couldn't help but turn up wildly.
How could he keep such earth-shattering good news to himself?
He grabbed the internal phone, his fingers trembling slightly with excitement, and dialed the number he knew by heart.
As soon as the call connected, he couldn't wait to shout it out, his voice trembling with joy, almost as if he were crying:
"Mrs. Lu! What wonderful news! It's true! Young Master Lu... he brought a woman into the company today! He personally opened the car door and escorted her upstairs! In his top-floor office! I saw it with my own eyes... no, I heard it confirmed by my assistant with my own ears!"
He paused, recalling the confusion of the past eight years, and became so agitated that he became incoherent:
"He's not gay! Mrs. Lu, don't worry, our young Mr. Lu is perfectly normal! Absolutely normal!"
