Lu Jinsheng just smiled without saying a word. Zhong Jin felt quite out of place and made an excuse to leave after a while.
...
Shen Jianyi had been recuperating at home for a few days, and most of her injuries had healed.
The medicine Fa Cai gave her was very effective. There were no scars left on her body. Instead, her skin was smoother than before.
She was about to call Fa Cai to praise him when Qin Yue's call came.
"I've got something to tell you." Qin Yue's voice carried a hint of amusement.
"Hmm?"
She hadn't been to Aolin these days because of her injuries. Qin Yue knew her situation and hadn't called her on her own initiative.
Was the sun rising in the west today?
"A film crew is looking for us to sponsor them."
"You can decide on this." Shen Jianyi replied casually.
But soon, she heard Qin Yue's laughter on the other end. She immediately realized something.
"Is it the film crew Tian Tian auditioned for before?"
"Yes, our Yiyi is really smart."
"Wait for me. I'll come over."
Shen Jianyi got interested. She simply told Sister Gu and was about to leave.
Suddenly, she remembered something and turned back. The butler, Li Xin'an, was watering the garden.
"Steward Li, does Lu Jinsheng have any cars at home? I'd like to borrow one."
Hearing this, Li Xin'an was stunned for a moment and then understood. "The young mistress is going out. I'll just ask the driver to take you there."
"No need. Just give me the car keys. I'll talk to Lu Jinsheng."
After the last incident, she really didn't feel at ease with others driving.
"Okay, then I'll go and open the garage for you, young mistress. You can pick one yourself."
Li Xin'an also knew that the young master doted on this young mistress a great deal. How could he dare to refuse her request? He happily went to open the garage door.
Dozens of luxury cars came into view.
There were many well - known luxury cars in the world, and some were obviously modified.
Shen Jianyi picked a Brabus. Its smooth black lines were low - key yet luxurious, not exaggerated or eye - catching.
She liked it!
Seeing that she had made her choice, Li Xin'an took out the keys hanging in the safe and gave them to her. "Drive carefully, young mistress."
"Thank you, Steward Li."
Shen Jianyi said, adjusted the seat, stepped on the accelerator, and left the Lu family mansion.
The black car shuttled through the traffic. Shen Jianyi was chewing gum with the window half - open. The gentle breeze blew her long black hair. Under her sunglasses, her bright eyes sparkled with excitement.
Suddenly, her phone rang twice.
Shen Jianyi glanced at the phone on the passenger seat, connected the Bluetooth, and answered the call.
Lu Jinsheng's voice came through.
"Are you out?"
At this moment, in the meeting room of the Lu Corporation building, the leaders of each department were as quiet as mice, listening to their boss on the phone.
But this gentle tone made them look at each other in surprise.
When had President Lu ever been so gentle?
Well, it seemed that the unseen president's wife had done a great job in taming him.
"Yes, I'm going to the company."
Shen Jianyi knew that Li Xin'an had called him. Lu Jinsheng didn't say much either, just told her to be careful on the way.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Jinsheng smiled and looked at the background of his phone's home page. His eyes were filled with tenderness.
After a while, he realized that the meeting room was overly quiet.
He looked up. The tenderness just now disappeared. He coughed lightly. "Let's continue the meeting."
"Yes..."
Everyone pretended not to see anything and flipped through the files in their hands.
On this side, Shen Jianyi had already arrived downstairs at Aolin.
She pushed open the glass door, stepped on her high - heels, and with an otherworldly face wearing a dazzling smile, she walked directly into the elevator hall.
Director Li, who had just arrived at Aolin, didn't hide his amazement at all. He didn't come to his senses until that beautiful figure disappeared into the elevator.
"What a beauty!" He couldn't help but marvel.
In the entire entertainment circle, he had never seen a woman as beautiful as the one just now.
But that face... why did it seem a bit familiar?
"She's really beautiful." The assistant beside him couldn't help but praise, with a star - struck look on his face.
"Director, don't you think she looks like Gu Xiaoxiang, the female lead in our script? She's so otherworldly and gorgeous. It's as if she was tailor - made for the role."
The assistant's words really hit Director Li's heart.
The current female lead was Cen Xiangxiang, who had always been in the genre of youth idol dramas. She was very famous, but her appearance was more on the sweet side and lacked elegance.
The female lead in the script was supposed to be elegant and beautiful. Cen Xiangxiang really didn't fit the bill.
But she was very famous and was a well - known national goddess.
Moreover, the sponsor behind her was very generous... Otherwise, he wouldn't have easily let Cen Xiangxiang get the role of the female lead.
"Don't think about it. That beauty just now looks like an unknown little model. Maybe she's here for a makeup trial at Aolin. How can she be compared to someone of Cen Xiangxiang's status?"
Director Li shook his head and looked at his watch. "Why hasn't your person in charge come down yet?"
The receptionist was about to speak.
"I'm really sorry to have kept Director Li waiting."
The woman was wearing a figure - hugging skirt, with gold - rimmed glasses on. Her charming long hair made her look extremely charming.
Director Li's eyes almost popped out.
"Are you, are you President Qin?"
Just like that little beauty just now, she was truly a stunner.
But this woman had the charm of a mature woman, while the one just now was a bit more innocent, and her appearance was even more outstanding.
"Yes, Director Li. Let's go upstairs. Our boss is waiting for you up there."
"Boss?"
As Director Li followed Qin Yue into the elevator, he couldn't help but feel confused.
Wasn't the person in charge of Aolin this woman named Qin Yue?
"Yes, Director Li. Our CEO of Aolin is someone else. I'm just helping out and taking care of some trivial matters."
Qin Yue flipped her long hair, looking extremely charming.
"We'll talk about the details when you meet our boss later."
The elevator stopped at the top floor.
Director Li followed Qin Yue out of the elevator doubtfully, extremely curious.
Aolin had started in foreign countries and had only become well - known in China in recent years. It was very popular among young women and had already entered the first - class makeup industry in China.
It was also rumored that the person in charge of Aolin was a once - in - a - century beauty who never showed up in the media.
The woman named Qin Yue in front of him met all the descriptions in the rumors, but she wasn't the person in charge.
Could there be a more beautiful woman?
Director Li suddenly remembered the incredibly beautiful woman he saw on the first floor.
Could it be her?
After thinking about it, he denied it in his heart.
It was impossible. That woman was so young. How could she have founded Aolin on her own?
Just then, the three of them stopped in front of the meeting room.
"Please come in. Our boss is already waiting inside."
Qin Yue smiled gracefully and pushed open the glass door.
By the huge floor - to - ceiling window, a woman in a white dress was sitting in a meeting chair. Her cold and extremely beautiful face made her look like a celestial being.
It was exactly the woman he saw on the first floor!
