“Lu Zhao? Is it true that he is aware of our movements?” Su Li seemed a little teary-eyed. President Lu truly cared for Luo Ying. “How did he find out so soon? Is he always keeping an eye on Sister Ying?”
Cheng Zhen smiled helplessly. “Su Li… haven’t you noticed?”
“Ah! Is it that guy?” Yan Xin grasped it before anyone else. He had always been cautious, and he was paying special attention to Cheng Zhen right now. Naturally, he took note of the man sitting nearby.
“What…? Who?” Su Li was still confused.
“The ‘assistant cum bodyguard’ who came with Yingying today is Lu Zhao himself!” Cheng Zhen patted Su Li’s shoulder.
“Ah?” Su Li’s mouth hung open in disbelief.
Even as he was taken aback, he quickly realized that Lu Zhao was probably the only person who had the power to truly assist them in solving this problem.
He made a mental note to thank Lu Zhao for everything he had done and work to strike a new deal.
Delaying a scumbag like Chen Ping for two or three years was not good enough.
For the rest of his life, it would be ideal if he could avoid contact with Chen Yue.
Chen Yue did have some leverage. While sorting through her mother’s things, she stumbled upon evidence that young Chen Ping had engaged in online sexual activity with minors. The chat logs from that year were still stored in the laptop.
This was sufficient to increase Chen Ping’s sentence by a few years.
“In exchange, I can, uh…” Su Li and Lu Zhao were chatting in a silent corner. When he was done speaking, he nervously scratched his head.
He did not have much to offer to Lu Zhao, so he was a little hesitant.
“In return, introduce that person to me.” Lu Zhao was unconcerned. In every situation, he took measures to ensure that nothing bad would happen later on. He would tidy up regardless of what Su Li said.
However, Su Li’s offer for a trade made everything work out perfectly.
“Ah?” Su Li was surprised by Lu Zhao’s quick assent. The person Lu Zhao was pointing at turned out to be Du Tian, who was in the middle of filming a scene with Luo Ying, as he followed Lu Zhao’s gaze.
“I’ll go ahead and ask Du Tian. Wait…” Incredulous, Su Li observed the situation.
Didn’t Lu Zhao come to the production team for Luo Ying? He even discarded his CEO robes to be a tea-serving assistant. They appeared to be getting along well. What was the point, though, of him meeting Du Tian now?
A recommendation? How is he going to introduce them? He was not the type of director to hand an actress a room card and tell them to show up at nine o’clock! He was a decent person!
After a quick glance at Su Li, Lu Zhao realized he had misunderstood and was at a loss for words. “The Du family of Liu City is a major player in international freight forwarding.”
“Oh, oh!” In an instant, Su Li grasped it. He was unfamiliar with the Du family of Liu City but had some familiarity with international trade. Lu Zhao was hoping to talk business with Du Tian. It was not what he had feared. That was no problem.
Su Li agreed. Immediately sensing the awkwvardness of the situation, he found an excuse to return to the set.
While he ran, he could not help but think that his production team was full of sly foxes and sneaky cats.
Most people would be shocked to learn about Cheng Zhen’s family history. Luo Ying appeared to be from a wealthy background. Even the head of the Luva Group had come here as a small assistant. Out of the blue, Du Tian showed up. He had mistook her for a random actor, but she was actually a member of the Du family in Liu City. She had to be someone powerful.
In the midst of his reflection, Su Li wanted to reach out and grab Cheng Zhen, asking, “How could a small-budget production team like me gather all these big shots?!”
Su Li may have had these thoughts, but that did not stop him from relentlessly directing the scene between Luo Ying and Du Tian. “That position is off. Let’s do it again!”
Luo Ying didn’t have many scenes today. Despite some snags, she was getting close to finishing up.
Lu Zhao brought up Du Tian’s issue again when she left the set.
“Why now?” Luo Ying was lounging in the dressing room. Lu Zhao was undoing her hairpin. “Why are you interested in the Du family all of a sudden?”
The Du Family never even showed up here in the original plot.
The thought crossed Luo Ying’s mind. It appeared that the story was drifting further and further from its intended path.
“Do you still remember the real estate project from last time?” Lu Zhao thought about it and started from the beginning.
“Of course I remember. What did you learn?” Luo Ying asked.
“What you said is correct. It did have some geological flaws. It would have been the grave where my company gets buried had I proceeded.” Lu Zhao’s voice darkened when he mentioned this. “But besides that, I discovered something else, too..”
