Chapter 95: Attending the Banquet
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When she received Lu He’s message, Lu Zhen was memorizing words.
Lu Zhen had been especially talented in languages since she was young. When she was young, she went to a northern city to film and learned the dialect of the locals in more than a month.
Later on, she participated in a children’s variety show. There was a foreign guest on the show. That guest liked the beautiful and cute Lu Zhen very much at that time and often looked for her to play below the stage. Lu Zhen learned a little foreign language from that foreign guest.
These few things had stimulated Lu Zhen’s interest in learning languages. Later on, she taught herself a few foreign languages outside of work. This was one of her few hobbies.
Xiaoxiao had even complained in the past, “Sister Zhenzhen, other people’s hobbies are entertainment activities. Why is your hobby studying? Oh my god, if I had your learning spirit in high school, wouldn’t it be easy for me to get into Capital University?!”
Lu Zhen did not think there was anything strange about her hobby.
She knew a senior in the entertainment industry. That auntie’s hobby was to do comprehensive science papers. She said that she was sometimes very impetuous. At this time, when she did a set of comprehensive science papers, she immediately calmed down. When she was stressed from filming, she would also do papers to relieve the pressure.
Before she could finish playing the audio on the tablet, Lu He’s news had already ruined Lu Zhen’s mood to study early. She turned off the tablet and frowned at the message—
“Zhenzhen, I know everything. I’ve already taught Lu Rou a lesson. You must have been frightened when you were kidnapped. It’s all my fault for not arranging a few more bodyguards for you. How about this? I’ll treat you to dinner tonight. I hope you can give me a chance to apologize. Let’s have a good talk and think of a way to resolve the problem.”
To apologize? Lu Zhen wanted to laugh. If Lu He could learn to apologize, even a sow could learn to climb a tree. Solve the problem? Needless to say, Lu He’s solution was probably to make her forgive Lu Rou for everything she had done and continue to work hard for the Lu family to earn money.
Although Lu Zhen knew that Lu He was talking nonsense, she was originally prepared to find time to meet him.
It was time to clarify some things.
At seven in the evening, a low-key black car stopped outside the Golden Jade Hotel in Beijing. Lu Zhen, who was wrapped tightly, got out of the car.
Lu He, who was waiting at the door, walked forward. “Zhenzhen, you’re here.
Let’s go in. The wind is strong outside. Be careful not to catch a cold.”
Looking at Lu He’s fake and disgusting smile, Lu Zhen felt a little nauseous. She really did not want to see this person. However, after today, she would probably not be disgusted by Lu He anymore.
“By the way, this is…” Lu He looked at the man standing behind Lu Zhen.
“Why? Can’t I bring someone over? It’s as if you want to kidnap me again. Why? You wanted to try it after Lu Rou failed?” Lu Zhen mocked.
The fat on Lu He’s face began to tremble. He suppressed his anger and forced a smile. “How can that be? Let’s go in together.”
When they arrived at the hotel’s private room, Lu Zhen saw another man in the room. The man looked to be in his forties. He was almost bald, but his oversized suit still could not cover his exaggerated fat.
“Let me introduce you. This is Boss Huang of the Haixin Corporation. Boss
Huanz, this is Lu Zhen.” Lu He smiled and said to Lu Zhen, “It’s like this, Zhenzhen. Boss Huang has recently invested in a movie and is lacking a female lead. He has always liked you, so I invited him over today. Let’s talk about our collaboration after dinner.’
The attendant served the dishes. More than ten dishes filled the entire table, and the air was filled with the fragrance of food.
Lu Zhen looked at the table of dishes coldly and did not touch her chopsticks.
Lu He said enthusiastically, “Zhenzhen, eat.”
Lu Zhen was expressionless. “I’m on a diet. I’m not eating. You guys eat.”
Boss Huang and Lu He looked at each other and were a little embarrassed. Lu He faked a smile for a while and said, “Aiya, our Zhenzhen has a good figure to begin with. It’s fine to make an exception occasionally. The food in this hotel is very delicious, and this fish is very famous. Zhenzhen, try it…”
Lu Zhen didn’t even look at him. “No.”
Lu He did not expect Lu Zhen to not give him any face at all. His face instantly turned the color of pig liver. He took a deep breath and put down his chopsticks. “Alright, forget it if you don’t want to eat. Then let’s talk about cooperation.”
“Cooperate?” Lu Zhen looked at Lu He mockingly.. “Shouldn’t you ask me first if I was injured by the kidnappers bribed by your precious daughter? Why? Do you think this matter is over when you see that I’m not dead?”
