Jing Zhen took the piece of paper and looked at the song. All of a sudden, his peach blossom eyes flashed, and his brows were lifted when he looked at the music score.

Shen Qianhui asked nervously, “How is it?”

Jing Zhen’s lips curled into a mischievous smile. “Our daughter’s song is definitely a top-grade masterpiece!”

“…”

Shen Qianhui’s lips twitched. “Please be serious.”

“Honey, I’m very serious.” Jing Zhen shrugged and looked at her innocently.

Shen Qianhui: “…”

She took the paper back from Jing Zhen’s hand and sighed. “Forget it, you probably don’t understand. If you really understood music, why have I not seen you sing for so many years?”

Jing Zhen answered, “Because I like acting more!”

“Sure, sure, sure. I’m sure it’s not because you cannot sing well.” Shen Qianhui went along with his act.

“Sigh, why does no one believe me when I’m telling the truth~” Jing Zhen helplessly shrugged. “Don’t think about this song first. Let’s talk about it when we go to the company tomorrow. It’s because you are too diligent that Jingjing became so lazy.”

Shen Qianhui prodded him. “Don’t talk nonsense. The company belongs to Little Ye. I have to manage things well for him.”

She took the song and walked up. “I have to negotiate with Yang Zhiqing, so I have to gather my thoughts and come up with a good plan…”

–

At this moment, Shen Ruojing was walking around the public square with Chu Yu.

A group of people was square-dancing in the northeastern part of the public square. And on the west side, some people were dancing with a fan. There was also someone with a bucket of water and a big brush writing calligraphy on the ground.

A few chess boards were smack right in the middle of the square below the street lamps. Also, you could see a group of elderly gathering there and bicker like kids.

Shen Ruojing walked over and looked at one of the chessboards. Just when she was preparing to say something, a voice suddenly rang out from the side. “I knew you would be here!”

She turned and saw Lu Hui in his sports attire. He should have just finished his jog, as sweat could be seen oozing out of his forehead.

Shen Ruojing frowned. “What are you doing here?”

Lu Hui wiped his sweat. “Recently, I’ve been jogging here because I wanted to see if I could run into you by chance. However, you didn’t show up here in the past few days.”

“Busy.”

Shen Ruojing explained simply.

Ever since Chu Cichen had returned to the country, she had been very busy. Indeed, it had been some time since she last came here.

Lu Hui turned and pointed to the side. “Boss, I have something to report.”

Shen Ruojing sighed and told Chu Yu to play at a playground nearby. She then brought Lu Hui along and walked to the side. Lu Hui whispered, “Lin Wanru died.”

Shen Ruojing’s eyes narrowed. “I thought she was supposed to be kept alive?”

Lu Hui shook his head. “I didn’t want this to happen either. It was just a coincidence. I found someone to beat her up, but her injuries weren’t fatal. I wanted to torment her slowly, but it seemed that someone else had arranged for the same thing as well. Also, she was poisoned by the daylily poison, but she was saved because her stomach was cleansed in time. It’s just that her body was extremely weak, and then she offended more people a few days after she returned. In the dispute, someone injured her stomach area…I heard that she suffered a lot before she died!”

He cursed after he finished speaking, “However, she stole your child and even poisoned your three children. If it wasn’t for the detoxification pill you had invented a few years ago, the three children might not have survived. Such a ruthless character like Lin Wanru fully deserved death!”

Yet, Shen Ruojing was frowning as she pondered.

She didn’t feel that Lin Wanru being targeted was a coincidence. Other than her, there would most assuredly be other people wanting revenge. She guessed that it might be Chu Cichen.

She didn’t expect that puppy-like person a few years ago would become so merciless now.

She nodded. “I understand.”

Lu Hui looked at her again and grinned. “I heard that Little Ye took over Royal Ocean Entertainment. Since the make-up brand under our Z Corporation is going to change its spokesperson, I’ll give him some business in the form of an endorsement deal.”

“Up to you.”

Shen Ruojing didn’t care about this, but she felt that Little Ye would surely love free money.

Lu Hui then lowered his voice. “Oh, there’s one more matter…”

In a corner of the public square, under the lamp, an elongated shadow standing straight could be seen cast on the ground.

Chu Cichen was in a black suit, and his narrow phoenix-like eyes were coldly staring at two people not far away.

Lu Cheng who was beside them felt puzzled. “Why would Shen Ruojing appear here? Her residence is more than half an hour’s walk away. Isn’t the distance a little too far?!”

The two people had come to look for Lu Hui.

Lu Cheng knew that Lu Hui had been jogging here recently. After many interactions with Lu Hui, Lu Cheng discovered that this person was extremely tight-lipped, refusing to reveal Professor Z’s location no matter what.

Hence, Chu Cichen said that he was too stupid, so he wanted to personally come and speak with Lu Hui.

However, he didn’t expect to see Shen Ruojing here.

Lu Cheng looked at Lu Hui before glancing at Shen Ruojing again. He was suddenly enlightened and narrowed his eyes. “I understand! Quite a few spokespeople in Z Corporation have reached the end of their contract, so the entertainment industry is currently eyeing the Z Corporation to sign an endorsement deal with them. Could Shen Ruojing specially come here for Lu Hui? However, being a spokesperson requires a professional candidate, right? She isn’t the boss of Z Corporation, so how can she get Lu Hui to agree to her request just by saying a few sentences?”

As he said this, he saw Lu Hui suddenly lean closer to Shen Ruojing and whispered something to her.

Such a distance definitely wasn’t something people unfamiliar with each other would accept!

He immediately grew angry. “F*ck! Bro Chen, she’s actually using a beauty trap…”

When he turned, he saw Chu Cichen directly heading toward the two of them!

His gaze was dark, and his body exuded a sinister aura as though he wanted to absorb all the darkness in the surroundings. Even the light from the lamp and moon was avoiding him.

Lu Cheng quickly ran after him.

“Boss, the person who wants to buy your biological petri dish is forcing me to the deep end. Why don’t you just do a kind deed and handle this? Just tell me if you want to sell it or not. A single sentence will do!”

Just after Lu Hui finished saying this, he suddenly felt a tall figure radiating a chill approaching him when he was about to continue speaking.

He then turned his head and saw Chu Cichen’s sharp eyes.

Lu Hui quickly stood up straight and instinctively took a step back. “Mr. Chu?”

After that Lu Cheng walked to Shen Ruojing and asked in a low voice, “What are you doing here?”

Shen Ruojing cast a glance at Chu Cichen. She hesitated and had no wish to explain, so she simply mumbled, “…strolling.”

“Huh? You can stroll all the way till here?” Lu Cheng sneered in a low voice. “You even intentionally chose the jogging place of Director Lu to stroll at. Shen Ruojing, this stroll of yours is at least half an hour away from where you are staying!”

Shen Ruojing seriously said, “I’ve always been strolling here.”

“Oh? Could it be that Director Lu specially chose to jog at this place for the sake of meeting you?”

Lu Cheng sarcastically mocked. His lips twitched and he continued, “I know you want to help Little Ye’s company by finding endorsement deals, but you can just look for me or Bro Chen. There are many products under the Chu Corporation that need a spokesperson. I can settle it with just a single sentence. Why is there a need for you to beg others?”

Shen Ruojing furrowed her brows. “I didn’t beg.”

Lu Cheng laughed. “Oh, so you are saying Director Lu came all the way here to beg you to take his endorsement deal? Do you have such prestige?”

Shen Ruojing looked at him with a smile that was not a smile.

Lu Cheng then heard Lu Hui’s reply. “She* is the true shareholder of Z Corporation, my big boss!…”
