Chapter 37
The workers were shivering in the middle of the storm, and it was not right to leave, or not to leave.
Fortunately, Dong Xiaoyuan said to him first: "That... you go out first."
If the workers are granted an amnesty, they will leave as soon as possible.
Before leaving, he closed the door intimately.
So there were only three Lu family brothers left in the room.
After the second brother said just now, the eldest brother did not respond.
Lu Xiaoyuan coughed lightly, trying to break the awkward silence.
"... Yuzhi."
The elder brother seemed to hesitate for a moment, and said, "You are back."
Say hello!
Lu Xiaoyuan was excited, and hoped to look to his second brother. feel that as long as the other party can respond, the relationship between the two can be eased.
In the end, the second brother just sneered and pointed back: "The table hasn't been moved yet, so call someone back."
Lu Xiaoyuan: Second brother! ! !
Fortunately, the eldest brother is generous. As the eldest of the three Lu family brothers, he didn't care about the childish provocation of the second brother, and said indifferently: "I work here."
Lu Yuzhi: "The leader of such a large group still needs to share an office with his brother?"
Lu Ling: "Well, one room."
Lu Yuzhi: ...
It was like punching a ball of cotton with one fist.
Seemingly bored, he sat back on the sofa. But there was no intention of leaving.
Lu Ling didn't say any more.
He came back halfway and still had work to do. Now lift your foot and walk towards the desk.
It is rare for the three brothers to be in the same space, but the atmosphere is frighteningly cold.
Lu Xiaoyuan looked around and mustered up his courage: "That..."
The two looked up at the same time.
Lu Xiaoyuan pointed at his fingers: "Tonight, let's go have dinner together. It's rare that the second brother... is back, I think..."
"OK."
Lu Yuzhi was the first to agree.
Before Lu Xiaoyuan had time to be happy, he heard the next sentence: "Just you and me, don't let extra things get in the way."
Lu Xiaoyuan: "Second Brother..."
He looked down in tears.
Look at big brother again.
The other party retracted his gaze and continued to organize the files: "It's okay, you go."
Lu Xiaoyuan was a little disappointed.
In the end, still couldn't get the eldest brother and the second brother to sit down and have a good chat.
Although, it's better than being in dispute.
Lu Yuzhi was also a little surprised when he heard the words, leaning his elbows on the sofa: "What's the matter, so refreshing?"
Lu Ling said lightly, "Anyway, there are plenty of opportunities to have dinner with Xiao Yuan."
Lu Yuzhi: ...
Lu Xiaoyuan:! ! ?
The eldest brother either did not speak, or choked to death when he spoke.
Even in terms of provocation, it is definitely the most unmatched existence in the Lu family.
As expected, the second brother glared at the man behind the desk again when he heard this sentence.
And the elder brother took his leisure time, seemingly not paying attention to the sight that fell on him.
Lu Xiaoyuan was caught in it, in a dilemma.
At this time, he heard his eldest brother say: "Xiao Yuan, you go to the car and help me get the documents up. I'm in the co-pilot."
Probably because came up in a hurry and forgot to bring it.
Lu Xiaoyuan agreed, and was about to go out when he looked back unconsciously.
...shouldn't be arguing.
He was a little worried that his eldest brother and second brother would be alone.
Lu Ling: "It's okay, let's go."
Hearing the promise, Lu Xiaoyuan finally went out.
The door closed again. The room fell silent.
Lu Ling put the information in her hand back into the drawer, then sat down: "Do you have something to say?"
Lu Yuzhi just looked at the person without saying a word.
Lu Ling: "Because of Xiaoyuan?"
This is my father's office, and I am here too. If it wasn't for Xiaoyuan, it would be hard to imagine that the other party could stay for so long.
"..."
Lu Yuzhi opened the corner of his mouth.
"I just want to ask, how did you let that kind of scum get close to Xiaoyuan when I'm not here these few months?"
dross.
The tone was like stabbing with a knife edge.
Lu Ling stopped.
"Boom."
Close the door.
Lu Xiaoyuan quickly found the file that the eldest brother wanted. Just put it on the co-pilot and put it in a kraft paper bag.
He was about to walk back when he suddenly saw a figure jumping out.
He was startled, and was about to avoid it, but the figure followed him again.
"Xiao Yuandong!"
Even called out his name.
Lu Xiaoyuan turned around suddenly, and saw that it was a strange man.
She has a baby face, so she can't tell her age. But judging from the way he was dressed, he seemed to be a little mature, not quite like a student.
Lu Xiaoyuan had no memory of this face, but if it was a partner, why would he call him in a place like the parking lot.
Faintly aware of the crisis in his heart, he couldn't help taking a step back.
The other party didn't notice, and took out his business card and handed it over.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Yuan, this is me."
Lu Xiaoyuan hesitated to see it, but when he saw the name above, he couldn't help but pause.
... He Zheng?
Could it be that the famous director came here for the announcement?
"Don't get Xiao Yuandong wrong, I just came to apologize to you."
Lu Xiaoyuan was taken aback when he heard this.
Apologize?
with him? Why?
He Zheng: "Xin Hao canceled my cooperation."
Lu Xiaoyuan: Huh?
"About asking you to participate in the performance."
He Zheng da lala copied his pockets, not caring at all that the other party was the chairman.
"I heard that Xinhao has cooperated with Lu's recently, and the relationship is not bad. So when they asked me to be the producer, they wanted to take this opportunity to make this request."
"The result seems to have offended Mao Xinhao?"
Angry?
Lu Xiaoyuan felt that the other party must have misunderstood.
Even if Xinhao canceled the cooperation, it probably wasn't because of him, but because of the mention of "Yu Yichen".
"You misunderstood, I..."
He wanted to explain, but before he finished speaking, He Zheng's eyes widened.
"This voice... You were there when I called at noon!"
Eh?
Lu Xiaoyuan suddenly recalled the moment when he snatched Yu Jing's phone, and couldn't help but blush.
"No, sorry."
He Zheng opened his mouth wide again, and then said excitedly: "As expected, it will definitely explode!"
Lu Xiaoyuan watched the baby-faced director pacing around the car, muttering words.
"As the chairman of the group, he has achieved so many achievements at a young age, so many people are curious."
"Do you know how everyone on the Internet evaluates you?"
Lu Xiaoyuan shook his head in a daze.
He seldom surfs the Internet, at most he reads inquiries from artists under his banner.
He Zheng: "Young genius, vigorous and resolute, ruthless, licking blood."
Lu Xiaoyuan was stunned.
Forget the first two, but what about the last two adjectives! Is he a killer!
"You have a big brother above you, Lu Ling. He is good-looking and capable of working. In fact, he has many little girls. Everyone thought that after the old chairman fell ill and was hospitalized, he would succeed him as the chairman."
He Zheng shrugged.
"As a result, you understand. That's why many marketing accounts have written about the power struggle of the rich and powerful, and everyone loves to read it. Do you need me to tell you?"
Lu Xiaoyuan shook his head frantically.
He doesn't want to know at all!
"So," He Zheng's tone became more serious, "If you can understand what kind of person you are through this program, everyone will be convinced!"
Lu Xiaoyuan hesitated: "What kind of person am I?"
He has no confidence.
I don't even have the confidence that everyone will be "convinced" after expressing myself in front of everyone.
"Xiao Yuandong, you are everyone's favorite character design."
He Zheng said seriously: "The contrast is cute."
Lu Xiaoyuan: ...
Lu Xiaoyuan: Eh...?
dross.
Probably there is a tacit understanding between brothers. Even if she didn't directly tell the person's name, Lu Ling quickly realized who Lu Yuzhi was referring to. There was a slight frown between the brows: "He's here again?"
Since climbing the mountain that day, Xiaoyuan never went out with that person in private, and all the conversations were about work, with a third party present.
So, how did Lu Yuzhi know?
Lu Yuzhi sneered: "Not only did he come. If I hadn't found out in time, he would have touched Xiaoyuan with that dirty hand. Is this how you act?"
Lu Ling: "..."
He really couldn't keep an eye on Xiao Yuan 24 hours a day because he was on official business. In the end, he just went out for a while, giving that person an opportunity to take advantage of.
"Anyway, I don't plan to participate in activities recently, I'm quite free."
Lu Yu pointed with his hand.
"Get out of that room and move my recording equipment in."
It is the small room connected to the office for rest.
The originally spacious office suddenly felt crowded.
Lu Ling was silent for a moment: "There is a professional recording studio in the company."
Lu Yuzhi: "No, I'm not used to your crap."
Lu Ling: "Then, I'll make another room for you."
Lu Yuzhi: "Then you also move the desk out."
The two brothers stared at each other silently for a few seconds, and then looked away at the same time.
Lu Yuzhi was speechless: "In short, get rid of those who are in the way first."
Lu Ling agreed to this and said nothing more.
"but,"
Lu Yuzhi turned his eyes to the door and frowned: "Why hasn't Xiaoyuan come back?"
Lu Xiaoyuan is currently listening to He Zheng's praise.
The other party was eloquent, telling how precious the contrast is.
Everyone's first impression of the new chairman of the Lu Group is that he is ruthless. If you see Director Lu in real state, you will be surprised.
Lu Xiaoyuan didn't understand at all,
After chatting a lot, He Zheng restrained his emotions.
"Of course, that's what I thought about."
Lu Xiaoyuan remembered what the other party said just now that Xinhao canceled the cooperation.
Although I guessed it was because of the mention of "Yu Yichen".
But on second thought, Mr. Yu even came to invite him personally for this program. It proves that Director He should be very important to this show, will he give up because of this?
Lu Xiaoyuan hesitated: "Did you say... a reason?"
"No."
He Zheng smiled: "But I often annoy Party A, which is normal."
Lu Xiaoyuan was dumbfounded.
In a sense, this person is quite similar to the second brother.
very free.
"Anyway, I came here today to apologize to you."
Although He Zheng didn't like flattery, he also felt that there was no need to make enemies.
Xinhao was full of sincerity at first. It is not clear whether the cooperation was canceled because of "Yu Yichen" or "Xiao Yuandong".
In short, there might be a chance to shoot these two in the future, and he didn't want to make Liang Zijie bigger.
"That's it,"
He comes and goes in a hurry.
"If you are interested in cooperating with me in the future, please feel free to contact me."
Looking at the back of the person leaving, Lu Xiaoyuan couldn't help saying: "...wait a minute."
He Zheng paused.
"Big brother... Xing Chuan also approached you before, but you refused at that time."
He Zheng thought about it.
It seems that there is such a thing.
It's just that he was busy in the first half of the year, and there were too many entertainment companies looking for him, so he didn't even bother to deal with them.
Lu Xiaoyuan: "Do you have any dissatisfaction with the plan proposed by Xing Chuan?"
He Zheng could not remember the specific content.
But since he was not interested at the time, either the contract was too restrictive, or the theme of the variety show was the same, and the filming failed.
He Zheng didn't answer this question, but said: "Dr. Xiao Yuan wants to discuss cooperation with me now?"
Lu Xiaoyuan did have this idea.
However, he just wanted to ask the person that the eldest brother couldn't talk to.
He Zheng: "To put it simply, I'm tired."
Lu Xiaoyuan: Huh?
"The theme is tired, the actors are tired, and the script is tired."
His shooting will only give a general direction, others prefer artists to play freely.
But the current artists seem to be trained from a unified training school, and there is no fun reaction at all.
Take a scene, and you can immediately guess how the plot of the next scene will develop. How could the audience like something that I thought was boring.
Lu Xiaoyuan was a little surprised by this answer.
In his eyes, He Zheng doesn't look like someone from the entertainment industry. It's more like a paranoid artist.
Even if the strength is a little worse, it is estimated that they will be eliminated by capital immediately.
Lu Xiaoyuan settled his mind: "Do you really... want to photograph me?"
He Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"...Although it's just a flying guest, if you don't mind."
He Zheng: "Of course!"
"What's more," Lu Xiaoyuan scratched his cheek.
"About the future cooperation with Xingchuan..."
"No problem, Xiao Yuandong!"
He Zheng was beaming, and grabbed Lu Xiaoyuan's hand.
"After this filming is finished, I will sign an exclusive agreement with your Star Chuan!"
Lu Xiaoyuan: Huh?
No no no he didn't mean that.
I just thought that could take advantage of this to make Xing Chuan's next variety show production run more smoothly.
An exclusive deal means signing the whole person.
Although for the company, the benefits are great. This means that variety shows produced in the future will be more secure.
And by absorbing the fresh blood of He Zheng, internal personnel training can also receive more experience.
But for those who are capable, it is equivalent to being in a shackle. Usually not willingly.
Such as KING.
If it wasn't for the relationship with the second brother, maybe he is still at ease overseas at the moment, let alone sign a company.
Seeing the cheerful appearance of the person in front of him, Lu Xiaoyuan seriously suspected that the other party hadn't thought about it at all.
"You should think about it again..."
He Zheng: "Think about what?"
Lu Xiaoyuan was choked up by the rhetorical question.
"I hate being dictated by capital."
He Zheng smiled.
"But Dong Xiaoyuan is so easy to communicate with. With you here, I think Xingchuan will be a good place."
Lu Xiaoyuan returned to the office in such a daze.
Inexplicably, they negotiated a business in the underground parking lot.
After telling the legal affairs to send the contract, the other party just left.
Approach the office door. It was very quiet inside, not a single sound could be heard.
Lu Xiaoyuan stood there for a while, then knocked on the door twice, wanting to tell his eldest brother and second brother that he was back.
He put his hand on the doorknob and carefully unscrewed it.
A sofa came into view. That was the place where the second brother sat before, and it was empty at the moment.
Behind is the desk.
The eldest brother was standing in front of the table, not knowing what he was wiping.
Lu Xiaoyuan swallowed.
This is to find that the second brother stepped on his table?
The door is fully open.
I didn't see my second brother anywhere else, and he seemed to have left.
"Xiao Yuan."
Lu Ling withdrew her hand and threw the paper into the trash can.
"Why are you back so late?"
Lu Xiaoyuan: "Just now I met someone downstairs..."
The matter was a bit complicated, and he planned to sit down later and talk slowly.
"What about the second brother?"
Lu Ling: "I'm looking for you."
Lu Xiaoyuan was taken aback, did he just miss it on the way?
He turned around quickly, wanting to go out.
"Wait," Lu Ling said, "Call me."
Lu Xiaoyuan paused.
The eldest brother does not have the contact information of the second brother. Lu Xiaoyuan called, and the other party connected quickly.
"Hold, sorry, second brother, I seem to have missed it. I just came back now."
"Why so long?"
Lu Xiaoyuan explained briefly, saying that he met a job.
The other side seemed to want to say something, but suddenly stopped.
"...I have something to do here."
The second brother spoke a little faster.
"I'll pick you up tonight."
After that, he hung up the phone.
Lu Xiaoyuan:?
He didn't know why, so he took back his phone.
He raised his eyes, saw the eldest brother looking at him, and explained: "Well, the second brother can't tell..."
Lu Ling didn't care: "Who did you meet downstairs just now?"
Lu Xiaoyuan explained the ins and outs.
Hearing this, Lu Ling frowned slightly.
"Variety show?"
He knew his younger brother's personality was very restrained and he didn't like to show his face.
So he helped him to suppress such activities in advance, but he didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to answer the notice.
His face turned a little cold: "Is it because of Yu Jing?"
Lu Xiaoyuan: Huh?
Lu Ling: "You don't need to be on the show for him."
Lu Xiaoyuan blushed a little, and shook his head again and again: "No, originally Xinhao and Director He had already canceled their cooperation."
Lu Ling paused.
"Director He...Although he's a bit bluffing, he's serious about his work."
not to mention……
Lu Xiaoyuan scratched his head: "The last few times Xingchuan went to talk, but they were all rejected. I thought... If we can take this opportunity to make good friends, maybe it will be beneficial to the next cooperation."
Lu Ling: "..."
"I don't want to either, I'll always rely on you guys."
So far, the elder brother has basically helped him block all the business entertainment. Occasionally attending as Party A, there is no need for him to speak out at all, and people will naturally surround him.
Even on the last business trip, Yu Jing was basically standing in front to deal with the partners.
It was easy enough to stay in the shadow of others all the time, but he didn't want to stop there.
Although this step is a bit big.
Lu Xiaoyuan clasped his hands tightly: "It's okay. I'll just pretend that those cameras don't exist, as usual."
Lu Ling was silent.
Sunlight seeped in through the floor-to-ceiling windows and fell on my younger brother's handsome face.
Looking directly at him with both eyes, no longer dodging.
He suddenly remembered the time when we first met.
The other party kept his head down while speaking, and his voice was low, as if he was afraid of attracting attention.
Letting my younger brother take over the post of chairman was originally intended to exercise, hoping to grow.
He has also reflected on whether this approach is too tough.
But during this period of time, Xiao Yuan has done better than he imagined.
Lu Ling raised her hand and touched her younger brother's head.
"Phase one?"
For flying guests, it should be the first episode.
Lu Xiaoyuan nodded.
"Tell me the time,"
Lu Ling's tone was a bit cold: "I will push off the work in advance."
Lu Xiaoyuan was taken aback: "Brother, do you want to go too?"
Lu Ling responded lightly.
"I'll be behind the scenes, don't worry."
With the elder brother by side, suddenly feel safe in heart.
Although it felt a bit exaggerated, the psychological pressure suddenly decreased a lot.
Director He moved very quickly, and not long after, Lu Xiaoyuan received a call from Yu Jing. There was uncertainty in the other party's tone.
"Are you really going to participate?"
Lu Xiaoyuan nodded. Realizing that he couldn't see it, he said, "Well, I've already talked to Director He."
There was silence over there, not knowing what to think.
After a while, Lu Xiaoyuan listened to the other person speak.
"I see."
"Just in case, I will follow."
Lu Xiaoyuan: "You, you want to go too?"
Yu Jing: "What's wrong?"
Lu Xiaoyuan: "...It's okay."
Mr. Yu is the producer after all. It's my first time filming a variety show, and I may be worried about the effect of the show.
As expected of Mr. Yu, he is so devoted to his work.
He didn't think much of it. Hang up the phone and continue with the work at hand.
Soon it was evening.
It was dark outside the window, and tall buildings were row upon row forming black shadows.
The second brother really came and said he was waiting for him downstairs.
Lu Xiaoyuan glanced at his eldest brother, still hoping that the other party could be together.
The elder brother shook his head at him.
Probably because he knew Yi Lu Yu's temper, if he really followed him, he would lose his temper again.
Lu Xiaoyuan had no choice but to say goodbye, and went downstairs to meet his second brother.
A figure was seen in the distance.
Before he got close, he received a helmet in his hand.
"boarding."
In a nutshell.
Lu Xiaoyuan walked to the back seat of the car, and heard someone ask, "What do you want to eat?"
Lu Xiaoyuan thought for a while: "Then... hot pot."
This was the last meal they had before parting. Since it is a catch-up, let's use this as a starting point.
The second brother seemed to smile, and turned around to hold the handlebar tightly.
"Okay, just hot pot."
Domestic hot pot restaurants are easy to find, as soon as you enter, you will be greeted by the heat.
Find a box and sit down.
Before the dishes were served, Lu Xiaoyuan also informed his second brother about his participation in the variety show.
Hearing this, Lu Yuzhi frowned.
"Yu, what kind of variety show?"
Lu Xiaoyuan reacted for a while before realizing that the second brother should be talking about Yu Jing.
He corrected: "It's a variety show produced by Mr. Yu's Xinhao Media."
"It doesn't matter what company he is."
Lu Yuzhi didn't take it seriously, "Have you figured it out, are you going to be on the show?"
Lu Xiaoyuan nodded.
"I want you to try more different things."
Lu Yuzhi leaned back, crossed his arms and said, "But do you have to have something to do with that Yu?"
The second brother seemed to have a bad impression of Yu Jing.
Lu Xiaoyuan didn't quite understand, he had only met once before, so why was he so disgusted with it.
Seeing that Lu Xiaoyuan didn't speak, Lu Yuzhi clicked his tongue: "Okay, just make up your mind. Let me know when the date is fixed."
He twitched the corner of his mouth.
The brow nails reflected the dark light, as if it was a bit dazzling.
"I'm quite free, so I'll accompany you there."
Although the weather has turned cold, the hot pot room is very hot.
White smoke rose from the hot pot, making the handsome face on the opposite side even more blurred.
Lu Xiaoyuan suddenly felt that it might be even hotter that day.
Obviously it's just a variety show...
Why are so many people coming!
