The office was extremely quiet. Even the sound of Lu Jinsheng flipping through documents could be clearly heard.
Lin Zhirou was still waiting for his reply, but Lu Jinsheng kept silent and didn't answer the question just now, which left her in an embarrassing situation.
Especially now that Shen Jianyi was sitting beside her, looking at her with a half - smile. Lin Zhirou felt like a clown, performing in front of the two of them for their amusement.
Just as she was about to leave, Shen Jianyi suddenly spoke up. Her voice was still as cold as usual: "Miss Lin, I heard that you've taken on quite a few advertisements from business partners recently. Why are you still working in the Lu Group?"
These words were clearly a mockery. Lin Zhirou clenched her fists and tried hard to put on a smile: "Really? I don't think I've got many advertisements."
Shen Jianyi crossed her legs and scanned Lin Zhirou up and down with a judgmental look: "And you snatched quite a few resources from my little actress. Miss Lin really has a lot of leisure time."
Although Shen Jianyi didn't make it clear what she meant, every word was full of sarcasm, leaving Lin Zhirou unable to react.
Lu Jinsheng lifted his eyelids and asked curiously: "What resources?"
Shen Jianyi stopped talking, and Lin Zhirou patiently explained: "Recently, some advertisers came to me and asked me to take on their advertisements. Since I was free anyway, I accepted them all."
"When are you going to shoot them?" Lu Jinsheng didn't care about anything else. He just wanted her to stay away from him as much as possible. "Next week. I guess Second Master Lu will be back by then."
"..."
It seemed that Lu Jinsheng's plan had gone up in smoke. He really didn't want Lin Zhirou to keep hanging around him. She was just a nuisance and of no use at all.
If it weren't for Lu Ziqian threatening him with his life, even if there was no one left in the company, he would never have hired Lin Zhirou.
Speaking of this, Lu Jinsheng really remembered something. He coughed lightly: "Go to the finance department later and ask them to draw up your salary slip."
Hearing this, Lin Zhirou twitched the corner of her mouth: "No need. I don't think I need that. Since I've promised Second Master Lu to come and help, I won't care about the money."
Lu Jinsheng looked up: "Didn't you hear what I said?"
"What?" Lin Zhirou was still immersed in her so - called magnanimous words, as if she regarded money as dirt.
In fact, Lin Zhirou was in great need of money now, and there were many things she needed money for. With the bankruptcy of the Lin family, there were many things she wanted to buy but always hesitated.
The payment for the advertisements she had taken on was not enough. Coupled with the fact that no advertisers or drama crews had approached her for a while, she was completely an obscure eighteen - line little star.
Now that Lu Jinsheng directly offered to give her money, Lin Zhirou felt a sense of being looked down upon.
She wasn't like this before. In the past, everyone who saw her had to bow and scrape and address her as Miss Lin. But time had changed, and in the blink of an eye, she had become like this.
Hearing their conversation, Shen Jianyi was not interested at all. She just wanted to get back Shen Jiayu's resources. Even if she couldn't get them back, she wanted Lin Zhirou to pay a little price, because these resources were snatched.
Shen Jianyi glanced at Lu Jinsheng. The man beside her didn't say a word. Instead, he was seriously examining the documents. This was the right time.
A half - smile curled up on her lips. Her tone was flippant: "Miss Lin, you should know better than me why these advertisers are coming to you, right?"
Obviously, after Shen Jianyi asked this question, Lin Zhirou panicked immediately. She choked out: "I don't know. Maybe they saw my potential."
"But I don't think so." Shen Jianyi pressed on, "My little actress climbed up step by step through her own efforts. She finally got these resources, but they were all ruined because of the big shot behind Miss Lin. Who do you think that big shot is, Miss Lin?"
Shen Jianyi thought she had given enough hints, but the man beside her seemed not to hear. He still hadn't turned around.
Maybe Lin Zhirou's action of taking two steps back was extremely obvious, which also caught the man's attention. He looked up and then reacted, "If Miss Lin is going to shoot advertisements, there's no need for her to stay here. You can just ignore what my father said."
Hearing this, Lin Zhirou immediately replied: "That's not okay. Since I've promised Second Master Lu, how can I go back on my word so easily?"
He laughed. Seeing how eager the other party was, Lu Jinsheng teased: "Then why don't you put those advertisements on hold for a while?"
Lin Zhirou widened her eyes. She was a bit panicked. It took her a long time to come to her senses. She frowned: "Mr. Lu, this is really difficult for me."
"In that case, I'll give you two choices. First, stay in the company and give up those advertisements. Second, you can choose to continue shooting advertisements, but leave the company now."
Neither choice was what Lin Zhirou wanted. She stood there stubbornly and didn't give a reply for a long time.
Just at this moment.
Shen Jianyi bent down and picked up a cupcake from the table. She took a small bite from the side.
Immediately, both the man and Lin Zhirou involuntarily tensed up. Everyone knew exactly what was going on with this cake, but no one exposed it.
What was Shen Jianyi's situation now? Why did she suddenly take a bite? Lu Jinsheng frowned slightly: "If you're hungry, I'll take you out for dinner. Put the snack down."
She obediently put it down and looked up at the woman in front of her: "Has Miss Lin made a decision?"
Watching Shen Jianyi speak calmly, Lin Zhirou was extremely panicked. She had put the medicine in it herself. There was no way it wouldn't work, but now Shen Jianyi could still speak so calmly here. It was really unbelievable.
When she got this medicine back then, the person who gave it to her had clearly said that the medicine took effect very quickly. As soon as it was swallowed, it would take effect immediately after three seconds.
But what was going on now... Lin Zhirou was completely confused.
While she was silent, the man and woman in front of her had stood up. Lu Jinsheng said in a cold voice: "I'll only give you one night to think about it. Give me your answer tonight. If you insist on shooting the advertisements, I won't stop you."
Watching him hold the woman's hand and about to leave the office, Lin Zhirou couldn't say a single word.
Then, Lu Jinsheng looked back. His cold eyes fell on her, and he sneered contemptuously: "Miss Lin, you should have known since childhood that you can't do two things at once, right?"
Lin Zhirou clenched her fists behind her back and gritted her teeth: "Yes..."
