Chapter 62 – How shameless can you be? (3)

Although Chen Shuyi couldn’t understand his friend’s behavior, Tianyu Entertainment belonged to Lu Lixing and he worked for Lu Lixing. So of course, he would follow Lu Lixing’s instructions without question.

“Yes, Vice President Chen, I’m the one following up on this issue.”

“Don’t interfere in this matter. Ji Qingqing can do whatever she wants.”

Assistant Director Li froze in surprise. “Vice President Chen, how can we let Ji Qingqing do whatever she wants? If she makes a fuss, it’ll affect our company’s reputation. This isn’t just a personal grudge between two little actresses. They both work for our company. Wouldn’t internal strife cause our company to be a laughingstock?”

Chen Shuyi agreed with Assistant Director Li’s stance.

However, this company ultimately belonged to Lu Lixing. He could do whatever he wanted. Chen Shuyi guessed that Lu Lixing would be supporting Ji Qingqing in the future.

“Enough, that’s how I want this issue handled. Don’t interfere.”

After hanging up the phone, Chen Shuyi said to his assistant, “You can leave first.”

The assistant assented and left the office.

Right after arriving at the shared office of assistants, the assistant was pulled to the side by other female employees to gossip.

In entertainment industries, gossip about the entertainment circle was the most common thing. Something that an employee casually mentioned might be some new shocking piece of news.

“Linlin, what’s going on? Why did Vice President Chen tell you to gather Ji Qingqing and Shen Weiwei’s information?”

“Yeah, Vice President Chen has never cared about the squabbles between stars before.”

Linlin lowered her voice to say, “I thought it was strange too. You guys know how Ji Qingqing wants to sue Shen Weiwei? But, a higher up came forward to tell Ji Qingqing to withdraw her lawsuit. Vice President Chen had me check who that higher up was. I checked and it was Assistant Director Li that was following up on this issue. Vice President Chen called Assistant Director Li and told him to not interfere. He said that Ji Qingqing could do whatever she wants.”

“She could do whatever she wants? Why would Vice President Chen help Ji Qingqing?”

“No way? How did Ji Qingqing get her hooks in Vice President Chen? And Vice President Chen has a family too. How…”

“I knew it. There’s no such thing as a simple woman in the entertainment industry. She was dumped by Gu Shaoyu a few days ago, and now she hooked up with the vice president. Her speed…”

“She’s a celebrity. And someone like Ji Qingqing, who’s offended everyone in the entertainment industry, how can she survive without having a strong backer?”

“But this is Vice President Chen! How could Ji Qingqing social climb using a married man?”

“Rich people have messy personal lives.”

“Alright, enough. Stop talking about this. Don’t tell anyone about this. If Vice President Chen finds out, he’ll kill me.”

“Don’t worry. No one else will find out about this.”

Someone walked into the office, and the group quickly scattered back to their desks to work. However, one of the female employees looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she opened back up to a page of a well-known forum and continued writing her post that would surely start a fire.

It was twilight when Lu Liting, who hadn’t been around all day, finally returned to the Lu’s villa. The moment he stepped inside, he smelled food.

“Elder Lu, Second Young Master is home!” Aunty Pei was smiling as she added another set of tableware to the table for Lu Liting. “Second Young Master, you probably haven’t eaten, right? Quickly, sit down and eat.”

Elder Lu’s expression wasn’t good, but he didn’t say anything.

Lu Liting greeted him with a short, “Grandpa.” Then, he sat down across the table from Lu Lixing and said, “Older brother, I heard that you’ve gotten better. Congratulations.”

Lu Lixing’s expression was cold. “En.”

Elder Lu finally said, “What have you been doing the past few days?! Day after day, you haven’t been at home. You won’t pick up your phone and you’re impossible to find!”

Ji Qingqing, who was sitting next to Lu Lixing and eating, guessed that Lu Liting was too busy comforting Shen Weiwei. That’s why he didn’t have free time to come home.

“Nothing much.”

“Nothing much? Then why do you keep going to the hospital? Do you like that Shen Weiwei that much?”
