She slowly buried her face between her knees, feeling like she was covered in wounds. However, no matter how much pain she was suffering, she still had to work. She needed to make money to study and to continue her life.
During the next two weeks, Luosang spent every day in the recording studio. Sometimes, she didn’t get back to the hotel until after midnight. The TV series had 50 episodes. Luosang stayed up late every night and finished the voice acting in only 15 days before flying back to Xia City for the opening ceremony of the new school term. She hadn’t even rested one day the whole time.
…
Xia City, Shengting.
The start of the new year should have been bursting with happiness, but in this company, the atmosphere was rather grim. Ever since Nian Junting started working, all the employees were forced to work overtime every single day. So now, the entire company knew that their boss had broken up with his girlfriend.
They wanted to ask vice CEO Xiao to comfort their boss and try to cheer him up, but the vice CEO had been sent to the snowy Northwest to suffer the chilly gale after New Year’s. Thinking about him, those employees felt lucky.
Outside the CEO’s office, Lu Kang carefully knocked on the door, then said, “Mr. Nian, Miss Xu finished her work in Shanghai and has come back.”
“I’ve broken up with her. Why are you still mentioning her?” Nian Junting was looking at the stock tables. He glared at Lu Kang when he mentioned Miss Xu.
Lu Kang immediately fell into silence. However, Nian Junting got even more unhappy. “Even though we’ve broken up, I can still care a little about my ex-girlfriend. Tell me how miserable she is now and how sorrowful her life is without me.”
For a while, Lu Kang couldn’t think of a word to say. He coughed slightly, then responded, “Her life is a little miserable, indeed. During the past two weeks, Miss Xu almost never left the recording studio. She only slept about five hours per day.”
Nian Junting crossed his arms and stayed silent.
Lu Kang hurriedly added, “I’m sure that she worked hard to ease the pain of breaking up with you.”
“She deserves it. She left me at home and spent New Year’s with another guy. What I can’t stand more is that between Chi Shengxu and me, she actually chose him. Which part of that kid is better than me? He’s still a boy.” Nian Junting stood up and sneered. “I was too generous to her. This time, I broke up with her seriously.”
Lu Kang quickly nodded.
“This time, I need to let her know how popular I am. I must give her some sense of crisis.” Nian Junting continued, “Go and pick the prettiest female employees in our company. I’ll choose one from them to pretend to be my girlfriend to make Luosang jealous.”
Lu Kang was speechless. Who had just said that he had broken up with his girlfriend seriously?
“Why are you still standing here? Aren’t you gonna do what I just said?” Nian Junting gave him a threatening glance.
…
An hour later, Lu Kang stood in the hall with the company’s ten prettiest female employees. Nian Junting glanced at them and then furrowed his eyebrows as he frowned. At last, he said to Lu Kang angrily, “I want to find a girl to make Luosang jealous. Why aren’t any of them prettier than she is? They are all so ugly.”
The ten female employees wanted to vomit blood. Had Mr. Nian even thought about their feelings?
Lu Kang wanted to cry. He couldn’t understand why his boss thought the ten female employees weren’t pretty. He said, “Mr. Nian, here are the top ten beautiful girls in our company. If you’re not satisfied with them, I’ll have no choice but to make an appointment with a female star.”
Nian Junting snorted. “Are those female stars prettier than Luosang? To be honest, I haven’t found any female star who’s as good looking as Luosang yet.”
Lu Kang honestly didn’t know what to say. “Mr. Nian, I don’t know where to find your girl. Should I drag an angel down from heaven for you?”
Nian Junting stared at him. After a while, he compromised. “Forget it. Just pick one of these girls. Tell her to cooperate with me.”
