Chen Xixi almost didnât catch on: "What did you say?"
Lu Wenling looked at Chen Xixi very seriously and said earnestly: "I want to change jobs."
Chen Xixi didnât think Lu Wenling was joking, so she couldnât help asking: "Arenât you the boss of Nanxing Entertainment? If you change jobs, what about Nanxing Entertainment?"
Tired of being the boss and want to work for someone else?
Doesnât that seem a bit unreasonable?
Lu Wenling looked at Chen Xixi in surprise, "You donât know yet? Didnât Old Zhou tell you?"
Chen Xixi raised her eyebrows curiously: "Tell me what?"
"Nanxing Entertainment is his too!"
"!!!"
Then Chen Xixi finally understood, she had always been working for Zhou Jinyuan!
From joining the budget reality show to signing with the company, even though the process was all her own effort, in the end, she was making money for Zhou Jinyuan!
But also, within Zhou Jinyuanâs domain, her work could go so smoothly.
The industry is chaotic, but she seemed to never encounter any kind of trouble at her workplace.
Just like the things Hu Yunâs sugar daddy did in the company, if Zhou Jinyuan wasnât protecting her, who knows how many directors or brands would have shown their ugly faces to bully her, the newcomer.
Why does Zhou Jinyuan like her so much?
She couldnât figure it out.
If she could go back in time, that would be great, then she would probably notice Zhou Jinyuan earlier.
And perhaps, she could have prevented her familyâs bankruptcy and ended up as a young lady well-matched with the Zhou Family!
Dreams are always beautiful.
But reality is also beautiful.
The justice that belongs to her family is about to come, and those whoâve been missed have finally met again. Even if itâs late, as long as it happens, she is already very content.
After all, not everyone can be as lucky as her.
Chen Xixi was surprised for a moment: "You guys really keep your lips sealed."
After Lu Wenling finished speaking, he realized that Zhou Jinyuan hadnât told Chen Xixi yet, probably with other plans in mind. Having blurted it out so quickly, he might interfere with Zhou Jinyuanâs matters.
He quickly said: "You mustnât say it was me who told you!"
Otherwise, he couldnât bear the storm from Old Lu!
Seeing Lu Wenlingâs panicked look, Chen Xixi couldnât help asking: "Are you really afraid of him?"
"Who, whoâs afraid of him!" Lu Wenling straightened his spine again, immediately changing the subject, "Think seriously about what I just said. I have a lot of experience, and I can definitely make your company overtake Nanxing Entertainment and become the leading enterprise in the entertainment industry in a short period of time!"
"Are you expensive?"
This was the question Chen Xixi cared about most.
"Iâm okay." Lu Wenling said, putting up eight fingers.
"..."
Chen Xixi didnât hesitate for a moment, immediately stood up: "Goodbye!"
Her small company couldnât afford such a big Buddha to sit in.
Just as Chen Xixi was pushing the door to leave, Lu Wenling immediately got up and chased after her, calling out: "The price is negotiable, if it really doesnât work, you make an offer, I can consider it! Iâm serious!"
"Weâll talk more." Chen Xixi was afraid her offered price would be too low and offend the great Buddha.
Outside the Presidentâs office.
The secretary listened to the two peopleâs conversation and her jaw dropped in shock!
After watching the two leave, the secretary immediately took out her phone and rushed to post a message in the companyâs gossip group.
Her hands were trembling with excitement while she sent the message.
"Comrades, comrades, it seems that President Lu and the newcomer Chen Xixi have an unusual relationship!"
"I just overheard President Lu saying that he wants to have a money transaction with Chen Xixi!"
As soon as the secretaryâs message was sent, the once dead chat group suddenly sprang to life!
Working folks maintain the will to go to work every day primarily through hanging onto the last breath of company gossip!
Gossip central receptionist: "Money transaction?"
Yinyang central planner: "Ah, being attractive really is different, you can take the special channel~"
Gossip central receptionist: "Those in the know understand, but this is also the first female artist to get involved with President Lu, her means are truly formidable!"
Secretary: "Whatâs so great about that? Previously on the romance reality show, I saw President Zhou treating her quite well, sheâs really amazing, hooking up two big bosses in one go."
Gossip central receptionist: "Maybe President Zhou had his fun and is now done, so she started enticing President Lu! What a fox spirit! But Iâm so envious of her, I also want to be a fox spirit like that. Even if they donât give me money, just for President Zhou and President Luâs sake, itâs already a win for me!"
Secretary: "Youâre too cheap! Can you have a little ambition? If it were me, at most Iâd trade for a monthâs salary! Thatâs better than a male model!"
...
Chen Familyâs issues are being dealt with, with the Zhou Familyâs legal team on the case, Chen Xixi felt that as long as Jinyuan didnât switch sides at the last moment, the Xu Family would have almost no chance of turning the situation around.
On the plane to Jing City.
Chen Xixi received five million, she ought to accompany the wealthy patron to collect the eggs, she had to go.
After all, this is so much easier than working herself to the bone at a job, and she would make a fortune!
Moreover, she could earn a salary while datingâ who could be happier than her!
Jinyuan originally wanted to sit beside Xixi, but she disagreed, as she said, "I have to accompany the wealthy patron now, Iâm busy, you be good and wait by yourself for a while."
"..."
Jinyuan looked at Xixi, his deep gaze tinged with a hint of grievance as he sighed softly: "Iâve been an intern for over half a month now, and to this point, Iâm not even as significant as my own mother. Typically, being an intern for half a month in our company means you can do what a regular employee should do, but me, I havenât even done a single thing an intern is supposed to."
Lately, Xixi has been busy working and not visible. Even on the rare occasions they met, they had to maintain a friendly distance; his girlfriend seemed to be available only for distant admiration.
Now he finally had a chance for close contact, and his mother still wanted to get in the way.
Suddenly, Jinyuan asked, "Is this romance between you and me, or between you and my mother?"
Why does it feel like heâs a spare tire, and his mother has become official before him?
Xixiâs eyes curved with a smile, gleaming bright like a multitude of Gold Coins twinkling within her clear almond eyes, "Sheâs giving me five million."
Jinyuan chuckled lightly: "Iâll give you ten million."
The flicker in Xixiâs eyes seemed to speed up: "First half with your mother, second half with you!"
Jinyuan bargained: "Iâm offering an extra five million, you have to accompany me after we disembark too."
"No problem!" Xixi happily agreed.
In the end, the wealthy patron sat by the window, Xixi sat next to her, and Jinyuan sat opposite them, working on his tablet.
Xixi and the wealthy patron chatted happily, and during the conversation, the patron suddenly said: "Today, my close friend told me her daughter was interning at Jiang City Hospital. She tried to give injections to a patient five or six times and nearly ruined the patientâs hand, leading to a complaint."
"How long has she been interning?"
"Seems like about half a month."
As soon as Zhen Mei Qiu finished speaking, Xixi heard a snicker from across her.
Xixi glanced over, meeting Jinyuanâs meaningful gaze.
She felt like his laughter was saying: You see, others get to practice on the front lines even just half a month into their internships, even to the point of nearly ruining patientsâ hands with needles, whereas I havenât even touched a finger yetâyou think thatâs fair?
