Chapter 191
Others guessed that it was Ji Qingqing because there was a rumor circulating in Tianyu Entertainment that President Lu held a bouquet containing 99 roses and gave it to Ji Qingqing. However, only a few believed the rumor due to Ji Qingqing’s infamous reputation. Many believed that their intelligent and dignified President Lu would not choose a woman with such a notorious reputation.
Until later on, while delivering Lu Lixing’s lunch to his office, his assistant accidentally saw an unfamiliar girl in the video call. Although she was ordinary looking, the girl loved to smile a lot. This finally concluded all the blind hunches they’ve made previously.
Who the woman was became unimportant. The emphasis here was that the woman wasn’t pretty, but she had a merit- that is she loved to smile!
From that, one can conclude that President Lu doesn’t like pretty women, but instead, he liked women who loved to smile.
There were even absurd rumors, saying President Lu once saw an employee’s smile in the lift and directly promoted him by three levels.
For a while, the entire Lu corporation was filled with bright smiles, and the working atmosphere among employees was instantly boosted.
“President Lu, you have a meeting in five minutes. Everyone has arrived.”
Lu Lixing closed the file that he had in front of him. Picking up his phone, he walked towards the conference room. As Chen Jing followed behind him, she could clearly see what was on his phone screen. It was a filming site.
This continued for almost a month already. They are still video calling?
Chen Jing was left speechless. It seemed that President Lu really cared about Ji Qingqing.
Smiling while thinking of it, she hugged the files that were in her arms tighter and followed him into the conference room.
Lu Lixing spent nearly a month’s time to suppress the dissent from shareholders and completely resolve the R&D technology copyright dispute. All departments were on tenterhooks for half a month. They were afraid that the project would be canceled, resulting in them losing their jobs. On a whole, it could be said that this upcoming meeting was one that would reassure everyone.
In the conference, one of the company’s vice presidents was explaining to the main management of each department the reason for halting the project for the past month, as well as the company’s future development. Lu Lixing had Bluetooth earbuds on. As he listened to the meeting, he glanced at the phone screen occasionally with his gaze slightly paused.
The scene that Ji Qingqing was about to film today was important; it will be her last scene.
The female supporting character who eventually became the antagonist subsequently went through a love-hate relationship and battle of wits and courage with the male lead. And in the scene, she ends up taking a knife for the male lead and dies in his arms.
The dark red blood on her chest flows out and stains the grass. Before her last breath, Ji Qingqing let out the words she wanted to say to the male lead that she had repressed in her heart for so long. Her blood-stained hands paused in mid-air, wanting to touch the male lead’s nose. But alas, slumped down lifelessly.
Jiang Su looked at the lifeless woman in his arms. He remembered the once innocent and pure-hearted woman and he remembered her vicious schemes. It was he who changed her with his own hands and it was also he that led her to her death with his own hands.
Maybe it was regret, sympathy, or perhaps sadness, but these various emotions all eventually dissolved into an emotional kiss, putting an end to their affinity in this lifetime.
Watching the two kiss on the screen, Lu Lixing’s face instantly darkened.
“President Lu, regarding this project, do you still have anything to add?”
Everyone’s eyes were fixated on Lu Lixing.
However, Lu Lixing remained silent. His eyebrows slightly furrowed and the surrounding atmosphere in the room immediately tensed up. Everyone froze, especially the vice president who just spoke. He quickly went over all the words that he said in his mind.
Did I say something wrongly?
It was Chen Jing at the side who reacted and reminded Lu Lixing. She whispered to him, “President Lu?”
Only then did Lu Lixing break away from the scene that he was watching on his phone. Looking at everyone in the room, he took off his Bluetooth earbuds.
Of course, after taking off his earbuds, he didn’t get to hear Director Zhou’s words in the video call.
“Cut! Very good! Jiang Su, that realistically-angled kiss was pretty good. This scene’s a pass. Qingqing, congratulations, it’s a wrap for you!”
“Qingqing, congratulations.”
Qi Jingyun handed her a bouquet of flowers. “Congratulations, your filming ended.”
Ji Qingqing accepted her flowers and replied delightfully, “Thank you Director Zhou for all of your advice during this period of time, and thank you, everyone, for taking care of me!”
“Qingqing ah, I’m not picking on you, but for acting, you’re not going to refuse kissing scenes every time, are you?”
Ji Qingqing laughed awkwardly. “I’ll think about it when the time comes.”
