Translated by: Jimini Pabo

In the teahouse, Lu Miao took a sip of tea with a gentle temperament: “Shufang, thanks to you, I’ve recently tasted most of the food in City A.”
Li Shufang smiled, and her lips wearing bold red lipstick curved. “City A is so big, and there are so many delicious things to taste. Let’s go to Xinbei Street tomorrow. I know a Japanese food store there. I heard that it is very fresh.”
”Great”, Lu Miao said softly.
Lu Miao is an executive in Li Shufang’s husband’s company. She is a strong woman in her work, but a gentle person in private.
The two met each other at a company reception a month ago, and when they met each other, they felt bad about each other. During this month, as long as Lu Miao’s time was free, the two would gather together for shopping and eating.
While they were having a good chat, Li Shufang’s phone rang, she glanced at the caller ID, and answered, “You still remember that you have a mother?”
The person on the other side of the call didn’t know what to say, making Li Shufang amused: “At the end of this month I have to go home for three or five days, and there is no discussion.” After speaking, she hung up the phone neatly.
Li Shufang helplessly said: “Who did he inherit such a carefree nature from?.”
Lu Miao: “Gu Xu?”
Li Shufang: “Yes, I didn’t know who I owed in my previous life. The pair of father and son came together to collect debts.”
Lu Miao smiled and said, “How can it be such an exaggeration. Didn’t Gu Xu start his own company outside?”
It’s not Lu Miao gossiping. Everyone in the company knows that Gu Xu has his own company. First, Gu Xu had a big fight with Gu Guozhong in the office and made a huge commotion because of Gu Xu’s company. The second thing is that Gu Xu developed his company to be well known by himself. In just a few years, the company has reached out to foreign countries.
Li Shufang: “Both father and son have a good temper, just because of a little thing… The two started a cold war, like a child. Not only that, Gu Xu has moved out for two years, if I didn’t call him to come home regularly, maybe father and son would have become strangers.”
Lu Miao comforted: “It’s okay. As long as the father and son don’t have an overnight feud, they will always be good.”
“Overnight? They’ve had a fight every other year too.” Li Shufang sighed, “What about you? With your temperament, the children you have raised would certainly not be bad.”
Speaking about her son, Lu Miao’s smile softened again: ” He is very filial and well-behaved, but he is busy with his work. Like Gu Xu, he lives outside, and I can only see him once for ten days and a half.”
Li Shufang: ” Are all young people so busy now? I thought it was just my family’s brat who was like that. What does your son do?”
Lu Miao: ” He is an actor.”
Li Shufang was a little surprised: “Actor? What’s his name?”
“He is not very famous.” Lu Miao smiled embarrassedly, “His name is Lu Yan. “
Li Shufang: “Lu Yan? The same surname as you, that Yan from Ri’an?”
[t/n : Ri’an [日安] means good day]
Lu Miao: “Yes, after I divorced his father, he took my last name.”
“It’s really Lu Yan? He’s not famous? Even my old aunt who doesn’t watch TV has heard of him.” Li Shufang said, “He is so handsome, Hey, I didn’t even notice it if you didn’t tell me. You really look alike.”
“How can it be so exaggerated. “Lu Miao laughed, “Actually, I didn’t expect him to be too handsome. Every time I see him, I feel like he is a little thinner. He’s still busy cancelling the contract recently. I don’t know if he will even have time to come home this month. “
Li Shufang picked the key points, “Cancelling the contract ?”
Lu Miao: “Yes, I heard that his contract has expired.”
Li Shufang: “Has he decided which company to go to?”
Lu Miao thought for a while: “I don’t think so. He just told me about the appointment the day before yesterday.”
Li Shufang’s mind immediately turned, she patted the table gently, “Lu Miao, how about letting your son go to my son’s company.”
Lu Miao was taken aback: “Gu Xu’s company? But isn’t Gu Xu’s company focusing on real estate finance?”
“He has a agency.” Li Shufang smiled, “It seems like he hasn’t signed many artists yet.”
Lu Miao was in a bit of a dilemma: “the thing is… neither of us can help our children decide, can we? “
Li Shufang: “Lu Yan is so famous, I’m sure many companies want to sign him. There’s absolutely no problem with Gu Xu. And you can rest assured that Lu Yan will absolutely get preferential treatment from Gu Xu. Otherwise, you can go back and mention it to your son first. If he agrees then it’s great. If it doesn’t work out also it’s all right.”
Lu Miao hesitated for a moment. “OK, I’ll go back and ask him.”
In less than half an hour after Xu Ze slammed the door, Lu Miao’s phone came in.
.
Lu Yan got up and went outside to pick up: “Mom.”
Lu Miao asked gently, “Xiao Yan, are you busy?”
Lu Yan: “Not exactly. I’m in the set now.”
“Am I bothering you? Is it alright for you to come home this weekend?”
Lu Yan gave a hum.
Lu Yan thought for a while: “I don’t think so. I made an appointment with several brokerage companies to talk about things at the weekend. “
Lu Miao was quiet for a few seconds and asked, ” You haven’t decided your new agency yet?”
Lu Yan gave a hum and was about to say that he planned to open a studio when he was interrupted by Lu Mia
“I have a friend whose son runs an agency. She asked me to ask if you have any idea of joining his agency ?”
Lu Yan was startled after hearing this. He had not heard the word “friend” in his mother’s mouth for a long time. Since Lu Miao’s divorce, she had been completely immersed in her work and had been a loner, which had worried Lu Yan for a long time.
The corner of his mouth tickled, “So, which company is it?”
“It seems to be called… Mingsheng.” Lu Miao said, “It’s a new company, but I think the prospects are very good.”
[t/n: (Mingsheng)名胜- Place of Interests]
Lu Miao, afraid of her son’s dislike for it as a new company, expressed her opinion that she did not like to interfere in her children’s lives, but she was really satisfied with the Mingsheng. Mingsheng was not short of funds, and Gu Xu had connections.
Lu Yan replied, “OK, I’ll send someone to get in touch with Mingsheng Entertainment. Have you eaten yet? “
Lu Miao: “I just ate out with my friend, so I won’t disturb your work. Remember to come home next week. Come on, I haven’t seen you for more than half a month.”
Lu Yan smiled and said, “Okay.”
Back in the dressing room, he threw his phone on the table and asked Lin An, ” Did any agency called Mingsheng contact you?”
Lin An: “Mingsheng? I guess so…I don’t remember. It shouldn’t be a big company. “
Lu Yan leaned his head on the chair and closed his eyes: “Contact them to sign the contract.”
After hearing this, Lin An immediately recalled the situation of the company, and then stared at Lu Yan: “what?!” Signing a contract? Hey! Mingsheng is not even as famous as Star Entertainment so why? “
Lu Yan was too lazy to explain: “I like its name.”
“…” Lin an has become accustomed to the thinking of his artists. ” Then, we are not opening a studio ?”
Lu Yan: “No, I didn’t think much about it anyway. Also it’s troublesome.”
Lin An didn’t give up and asked, ” Are you not going to consider it again ?”
Lu Yan: “No, I’ve decided. Go contact them. “
Lin An: …

In the bar, the lights are ablaze with wine.
Xu Ze drank a mouthful of wine and said to his friend next to him, “ Didn’t you say it’s just a one-night stand? I didn’t cheat him emotionally. So why do you think Lu Yan lost his temper? “
[t/n: Xu Ze claims that he didn’t do emotional infidelity.
Basically he is saying that he only had physical relationship with the other and his feelings towards Lu Yan is pure. Well, he’s a typical jerk.]
Today is a gathering of friends. On the table, it is said that they are friends, though in actuality it is a gathering of the bosses of Entertainment companies gathering together to expand their contacts while pretending as friends.
Xu Ze originally wanted to drink and dispel sorrows, but as a result, he began to talk nonsense after drinking too much. The expressions of the people around him were a little subtle.
A good friend of Xu Ze looked at him with a speechless expression: ” If you speak a little louder, tomorrow the whole world will know that you were in a relationship with Lu Yan. And then you can see where Lu Yan would smash the next bottle.”
Xu Ze was immediately frightened by this sentence, and he lowered his voice: “Damn it, he wants to terminate his contract with me and won’t listen to me no matter what I say!”
The good friend took his glass and said, “Okay okay, stop drinking and talk less. It’s not good to be heard.”
As soon as the words were said, a tall man passed behind them and scoffed at what he had heard the two men had just said.
The man did not stop, did not look up and sat directly opposite the two. He seemed to be one of the invitees of the party.
Xu Ze heard the sneer clearly and squinted disgruntled: ” Who is he?”
” He is Gu Xu. Keep your voice down.”
Xu Ze: “Gu Xu?” Who is it? “
“The son of Gu Guozhong! I heard that he recently opened a Entertainment company. “
Xu Ze: ” His father is doing so well in the real estate industry, so why did he open a Entertainment company when he doesn’t even have to do anything? “
The good friend: “It’s true though.It is insider information so it is absolutely accurate!”
“Tsk, the world of local tyrants.” Xu Ze snorted.
As soon as Xu Ze finished speaking, Gu Xu sensed his gaze and raised his eyes to glance at him.
The friend hurriedly said with a smile: “Mr. Gu, I just laughed, Xu Ze is broken in love, and has drank a little too much.”
Gu Xu snorted lightly and did not speak, while Xu Ze was sneered twice by the same person in less than five minutes. He was particularly unhappy and drank a mouthful of wine.
A man stood up and smiled and said, ” You’ve had enough wine. Do you want to have some other fun?”
Everyone knew what the fun was about in the evening.
Gu Xu had just received a phone call. He got up and buttoned his suit one by one. “I have something to do.”
Xu Ze, who was drunk, opened his mouth and asked, ” What do you have to do in the middle of the night? Aren’t you being a wet blanket?”
As soon as the words came out, the table immediately quieted down. they all wanted to curry favour with this’ newcomer in the industry ‘tonight, but as a result was ignored by Gu Xu. Xu Ze was rich and randomly offended people by just opening his mouth.
The group of people were preparing to see a good show, but contrary to their expectations Gu Xu was not angry. He calmly walked to Xu Ze’s side.
When he took a closer look, Xu Ze discovered that Gu Xu had a face that looked like a male model and his nose was almost as high as the sky. .
Gu Xu looked at him and said, “Oh, I’m going to sign an appointment with Lu Yan.”
“…”
After saying that Gu Xu walked away. Half a minute later, Xu Ze came to his senses and asked his friend with an unbelievable face: ” Who did he say he was going to sign with? Lu Yan? Who the hell is he kidding?! Who the hell will choose to sign the contract in the middle of the night? “
As soon as Xu Ze recovered, he borrowed a cell phone from his friend to call Lu Yan. But as soon as Lu Yan heard him say ‘Hi’, he hung up the call.
