At night.
Lin Shanchu and the others arrived at Yong Shui Pavilion on time.
Tianzhou Media booked the largest banquet hall and invited all the investors, sponsors, staff behind the scenes and some big shots in the industry.
Some media outlets were also invited.
Before Lin Shanchu could enter the banquet hall, she heard someone calling her.
“Lin Shanchu, look over here!”
She looked up and saw Wen Huan pointing his camera at her.
She smiled cooperatively.
After Wen Huan finished taking photos, he ran over and whispered, “I’m a freelance reporter for this celebration dinner.”
His tone sounded somewhat smug.
Wen Huan’s influence in the industry was not small and he had been invited to manv events in the industrv.
Such a celebration dinner was not a big occasion for him.
He was so happy because the organizer was Huo Xunzhou.
Lin Shanchu nodded and said with admiration, “You’re really amazing.”
Wen Huan was a little embarrassed by the praise. “It’s just so-so. You should go in quickly. I still have to take pictures of others.”
Lin Shanchu smiled. Just as she was about to walk into the banquet hall, she noticed Wen Huan frowning behind her.
Lin Shanchu was about to turn around when someone grabbed her wrist.
“Let’s go in together.”
“Lu Shiyuan?”
Lu Shiyuan now knew that Huo Xunzhou was the real boss of Tianzhou Media. Logically speaking, even if Tianzhou Media had sent him an invitation, he would not have come to the celebration dinner.
“Didn’t we agree we’d come together? Why didn’t you wait for me?” Lu Shiyuan forced a smile as he grabbed Lin Shanchu’s hand and kept exerting strength, making her unable to break free from his grip.
Wen Huan noticed Lin Shanchu’s struggling movements and walked over with a smile.
“President Lu! Lu Corporation is prosperous under your leadership. You’re so handsome and good at doing business. You’re simply the idol of young people…”
Wen Huan squeezed between Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu, forcefully pushing Lu Shiyuan away. He was so passionate that it was as if he was really a die-hard fan of Lu Shiyuan.
Pushing Lu Shiyuan to the side, he asked enthusiastically, “President Lu, can you talk about your experience in doing business?”
Lu Shiyuan Imitted his brows and his tone sounded impatient. “Sorry, no comment.”
“Let’s just have chit-chat.” Wen Huan refused to give up.
Seeing that Lu Shiyuan was about to leave, Wen Huan blocked his way.
Wen Huan would block him wherever he went.
As a result, Lu Shiyuan could only watch Lin Shanchu enter the banquet hall.
Lu Shiyuan could not take advantage of Huo Chaosheng’s message online, regardless of whether he responded or not. Hence, he thought of attending the banquet with Lin Shanchu to divert the public’s attention and respond to this matter at the same time.
Unexpectedly, this reporter came out of nowhere disrupted his plans.
Lu Shiyuan stared daggers at Wen Huan. “Which media outlet are you from?”
Wen Huan was still as enthusiastic and attentive as ever. “I’m not from any media outlet. I’m a freelance reporter.” Lu Shiyuan was speechless.
“Xia Jinmeng! Hurry up, we’re waiting for you.”
Hearing the familiar name, Lu Shiyuan turned around subconsciously. Wen Huan glanced at Lu Shiyuan playfully.
He felt that there was something wrong with the way Lu Shiyuan looked at Xia Jinmeng.
How interesting.
Lin Shanchu had entered the banquet hall. Since he had achieved his goal, he did not bother to pester Lu Shiyuan anymore. Then, he walked over and took photos of Xia Jinmeng and the others.
They had just formed a group last night, and now was the time when they were at the peak of their popularity.
Many reporters were taking photos of them.
They were very cooperative.
Xia Jinmeng saw Lu Shiyuan at a glance.
Lu Shiyuan stood out from the crowd with his tall figure.
However, she quickly remembered that Lin Shanchu had instructed her to ignore Lu Shiyuan whenever she saw him.
It was not difficult for her.
What annoyed her the most was that Lin Shanchu made her wear the hairbow every day.
Xia Jinmeng and the rest entered the banquet hall after taking photos without even sparing Lu Shiyuan a glance.
Lu Shiyuan looked at her back as she left, and a hint of nostalgia flashed across his eyes.
When Lu Shiyuan entered the banquet hall, Lin Shanchu was sitting and talking with Nan Mu. The seat on her other side was empty.
Just as Lu Shiyuan was about to walk over, Huo Chaosheng’s voice came from behind him.
“Lu Shiyuan.”
Lu Shiyuan clenched his fists instantly.
He turned around and stared coldly at Huo Chaosheng.
Huo Chaosheng sat in the wheelchair and smiled amiably. “Hey, when are you going to promote your fiancée’s new drama?”
Lu Shiyuan’s expression changed drastically.
Zhou Yan, who was accompanying Lu Shiyuan, noticed the change in his mood and quickly reminded him, “President Lu…”
He was afraid that Lu Shiyuan would not be able to resist making a move on the spot.
Lu Shiyuan forced a smile. “Shanshan has signed with the company and has her own team. The team will naturally promote her, so I don’t need to gild the lily for her. Of course, as her fiancé, I will give her the greatest support at all times. ”
Huo Chaosheng clapped his hands. “Well said. It’s all thanks to your support that she signed a contract with Tianzhou Media and made such great progress.”
“Pfft!”
There were many people around them, and it was unknown who was the first to laugh.
Then, there was a burst of laughter.
Everyone knew that Lu Shiyuan used to put his heart and soul into supporting Tang Qidai, whereas Lin Shanchu was condemned every day, let alone became successful.
Huo Chaosheng said seriously, “Your fiancée must be very grateful to you.” “Yes, I am.” Lin Shanchu walked over at some point.
She walked to Lu Shiyuan’s side and smiled gently. “The person I’m most grateful to has always been you. I wouldn’t have been who I am today without you.”
Lin Shanchu was the closest to Lu Shiyuan, so she could see his lips trembling in anger.
Lin Shanchu approached him and whispered, “Feeling humiliated? Do you know what you look like now?” Lu Shiyuan looked up at her gloomily.
“Like an underdog,” Lin Shanchu said slowly.
“Lin Shanchu!” Lu Shiyuan gritted his teeth.
Lin Shanchu took a step back and maintained her smile. “Don’t just stand there. Today is our company’s celebration dinner. You can’t steal our company’s limelight.”
The words “our company” sounded extremely ironic.
Back then, Lin Shanchu signed a contract with Tianzhou Media after he had driven her into a corner.
Lin Shanchu turned around and walked to her previous position.
After she sat down. she turned around and called out to Lu Shivuan. “Come and sit.”
In the next second, a tall figure sat down beside her.
Lin Shanchu turned around and saw Yun Yi’s smiling face.
She tilted her head slightly and wondered what he was trying to do.
“What a coincidence, Miss Lin.” Yun Yi’s smile deepened. Speechless, Lin Shanchu thought that it was no coincidence.
Lin Shanchu didn’t understand him.
Yun Yi looked mature and steady, but why would he steal someone else’s seat?
Why was he as childish as Huo Xunzhou?
They were really a family.
On the other hand, Nan Mu was in a good mood after watching the drama unfold earlier.
No matter what, Lu Shiyuan was a guest. As the organizer, he had to entertain him well.
President Nan stood up. “President Lu, sit here.”
“Shanshan!” Yun Wu sat down in his seat right after he got up..
