471 Who’s the Chess Piece
Just as Lu Gan put down the phone, he heard footsteps coming from the corridor. Song Ci had returned from picking up the children. He quickly sheathed the dagger, rolled it up with a cloth, and put it away. Song Ci pushed the door open and entered. Lu Gan acted like his usual self, gentle and tolerant. There was no sign of gloominess and ruthlessness.
“Mary said that dinner is ready. Let’s go downstairs and eat.”
Song Ci smiled. She did not suspect anything. It was a pity that Lu Gan did not pursue an acting career. He was as good as his wife.
“Alright.”
Lu Gan replied gently.
As usual, the family of four ate together.
Song Ci was about to start filming, so she wanted to bring the children out to play this weekend.
Song Yujin and Lu Suo had no objections.
Since it was a weekend outing, it meant they were going to the cinema. Besides, Lu Suo did not want to go somewhere like an amusement park before Lu Gan’s legs recovered.
Lu Suo asked curiously, “Mommy, once you’re done filming, will we go to the cinema to watch your movie?”
“Yes, I’ll bring you there.”
Song Ci smiled and patted Lu Suo’s head.
“Great!”
Lu Suo sounded really excited.
Song Yujin was also looking forward to it. A few days ago, he watched “Rushing For Ten Years” with Lu Suo on television. That was the first time he saw Song Ci on screen.
“Mommy, are you paired with another actor this time?”
Song Ci did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“Are you concerned about that?”
Lu Suo nodded. He was extremely concerned.
Song Yujin also nodded. He saw Song Ci hugging another man with a longing look on her face. At that time, Lu Suo almost smashed the television! Since he could not do that, he angrily smashed his tablet instead. Fortunately, the tablet was of good quality and did not break.
If someone asked Lu Suo which celebrity he hated most, it would be Song Ci’s “boyfriend”, Meng Jun! The second would be Lin Ting, who always hogged Song Ci to herself. Last but not least, Lu Jingming was also hated because he dared to intimidate Song Ci.
Obviously, Song Ci did not know what Lu Suo was thinking. So, she just smiled and said, “Don’t worry, this movie’s genre is comedy.”
“Yay!”
Lu Suo was overjoyed.
The next morning, Song Ci went to the Song Corporation.
Meanwhile, Lu Chunyue called Lu Gan.
“My father was drunk yesterday. When I helped him get back to his room, I tried to ask a few questions. Apparently, Qi Yuchuan was introduced by President Ning from the Hua Corporation. As you know, he had always been dissatisfied with Lu Jie becoming the general manager. It irritated him when things began to stabilize. Hence, he was tempted by President Ning’s recommendation and arranged for Qi Yuchuan to join the company. He also asked for your father’s opinion, but your father did not say anything. Anyway, the sales department is the easiest place to produce results. Therefore, they put Qi Yuchuan there. It’ll also be easier to promote him.”
If Lu Gan remembered correctly, President Ning knew Lu Hongyong’s friend, President Yao.
‘What a coincidence.’
Lu Chunyue continued, “Brother Lu Gan, I feel that something is wrong.”
“What are you trying to say?”
Lu Gan lowered his eyes.
“My father met President Ning by accident when he was working this year. It was then President Ning recommended Qi Yuchuan to him. If it were anyone else, Qi Yuchuan might not be able to get in. Of course, my father’s dislike for Lu Jie and his family also played a role. He was blinded by his emotions.”
Lu Chunyue frowned.
On the other hand, Lu Gan smiled.
“Chunyue, you’re more attentive than I thought.”
“It seems like I’m not overthinking. Do you think my father is just a chess piece?”
