"Since we're husband and wife now, we should be honest with each other and share both fortune and misfortune."
When it came to being honest, Shen Jianyi turned around and stared at him, her eyes as if she wanted to devour him. "Are you sure you've been honest with me?"
Lu Jinsheng's heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously glanced at the bruise on his calf. You could hardly see the tooth mark if you didn't look closely. He relaxed his brows, looking quite at ease, with a smile on his lips. "Sure."
"..."
The problem was that Shen Jianyi couldn't be sure if it was a tooth mark or not, or if he was Gun. She had asked him like that, yet he could still remain calm. Maybe she was just overthinking.
Seeing that Shen Jianyi stopped talking, Lu Jinsheng seized the opportunity and asked decisively, "Promise me?"
" ... Um." Shen Jianyi didn't react at first. "Huh?"
"You've already promised just now. You can't go back on your word."
Only then did Shen Jianyi realize that she had been tricked by this bastard.
In the following days, they discussed the timing with Lu Weiran, and the other side had confirmed that there would be Lu Weiran's private ship at the East Dock in a month, carrying thousands of chips on board.
They also scheduled this operation for a month later.
This operation was of great importance. Shen Jianyi thought it necessary to inform the other two outside. After a discussion among everyone, they made a small decision.
The two of them would board the ship, while Fa Cai and Xia Liang would follow in a small speedboat. Once something went wrong on the ship, they could escape immediately.
...
After this incident, Lu Jinsheng also thought it necessary to go back to the company to regain control. The current situation was very unfavorable to them, and they couldn't protect Shen Jianyi well at all.
Early this morning, the two of them went to do their own things.
Shen Jianyi hadn't been to the company for a long time and didn't know what the situation was like inside.
The taxi stopped in front of Aolin. The weather was still sweltering close to August. The moment her feet stepped on the floor, she felt like she had walked into a huge steamer.
Fortunately, she entered the company after just a few steps. The cool air from the air - conditioner blew gently, and Shen Jianyi felt like she had come back to life.
She headed straight for the office. Pushing open the door, she saw Qin Yue having a meeting with Shen Jiayu and Zhao Tiantian.
Qin Yue looked solemn, and so did the other two. It wasn't until Shen Jianyi pushed the door open that the atmosphere eased a little.
"General Manager Shen!" Qin Yue was very surprised. "You're finally here."
They hadn't been able to get a reply from Shen Jianyi during this period. It was as if she had disappeared out of thin air. According to Shen Jiayu, she hadn't been to school either.
Shen Jianyi walked straight to the sofa, sat down with her legs crossed, her back very straight, listening to their conversation.
"What were you just discussing?" Shen Jianyi glanced at Qin Yue and then fixed her eyes on the dejected Shen Jiayu.
Qin Yue sounded almost at her wit's end when she spoke. You could hear her pessimism from her words.
"General Manager Shen, the new product launched by the company is a sister - themed gift set. At present, we only have Tiantian as a female model..."
Qin Yue frowned. "The general theme of the gift set is the fresh and innocent style as well as the style of a tragic literary heroine. So I think we should start with the university students."
Shen Jianyi roughly understood what Qin Yue meant. There must be suitable girls in the same university as Shen Jiayu. They couldn't solve this problem without her. Selecting models had always been Shen Jianyi's job.
She rubbed her hands and said in a relaxed tone, "No problem. Leave this to me. I'll take Shen Jiayu to the school to have a look. Maybe we'll meet a suitable one."
This troublesome meeting was easily resolved.
Shen Jianyi got up. It seemed that she came to the company just in time. She ran into a problem as soon as she came.
She walked forward, and Shen Jiayu followed closely behind. He seemed to be deep in thought. After a moment of silence, Shen Jiayu trotted forward to catch up with Shen Jianyi and walked side by side with her.
"Jianyi, what have you been up to these days?" He lowered his head carefully. "I sent you messages, but you didn't reply to any of them. I thought..."
Shen Jianyi remained calm. "Thought what?"
"I thought something had happened to you... I was going to visit you at home this afternoon. I didn't expect you to come so early."
Shen Jianyi thought he meant well, so she didn't say anything hurtful.
"Thank you for caring about me. I've just been busy these days."
Shen Jiayu didn't know what else to say, so he fell silent and followed behind without saying a word.
...
Outside Huaqing University.
The school gate was closed today. Only then did she remember that it was the previous cultural performance. For some reason, she hadn't been able to follow the rehearsals all the time, and she didn't know what was going on with her department.
The two of them pushed the door open. The school security guard took a look and immediately recognized Shen Jianyi. He didn't dare to stop her. After all, she was Lu Jinsheng's wife. Stopping her would be like cutting off his own future.
The back playground was crowded with people. Almost all the teachers and students of the school had gathered. Shen Jianyi thought this event just saved her a lot of trouble. She didn't have to look for people one by one. They were all gathered together, making it easy to see.
Shen Jianyi stood at the back of the line.
The students in the last row turned their heads in unison. Someone in the crowd shouted.
"Look, it's Shen Jiayu!!"
"My god, my idol is back at school."
"Baby Jiayu!!"
...
Since Shen Jiayu entered the entertainment circle, his popularity had soared. Now his fans had exceeded ten million, and he had become a popular young actor.
These female college students were very excited when they saw Shen Jiayu. This was not good for Shen Jiayu, and it also added some difficulties for Shen Jianyi to select models.
Just then, the teacher in charge of the cultural performance hurriedly took the two of them to the backstage in order to protect Shen Jiayu and avoid a stampede due to the large crowd.
The two of them sat backstage. The teacher in charge couldn't take her eyes off Shen Jiayu. She stared at him intently.
After a long time.
The teacher in charge said with a rather malicious smile, "Jiayu, you're a little star now. Since you're back at school and there's a cultural performance, why don't you perform for everyone? It can also increase the popularity of our school."
Hearing this, Shen Jianyi twitched the corner of her lips. She mercilessly exposed, "Teacher, does our Huaqing University still need to increase its popularity?"
The teacher was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
"Well, it's better to increase it a little..." The teacher sounded a bit unconfident.
Shen Jiayu was a bit embarrassed. He glanced at Shen Jianyi and found that she wasn't paying attention to him at all. She had been looking outside. Shen Jiayu turned his head, hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Teacher, I'd like to sing a song with classmate Jianyi. Can you approve it?"
