Chapter 6: Mrs. Lu Needs a Suitable Candidate!

Chapter 6 - 6: Mrs. Lu Needs a Suitable Candidate!Feeling the eyes from all around, Ji Niandong instinctively lowered her head to prevent others from seeing her face, turning to pretend to rearrange the fruit platter on the dining table, her hands clenched into fists. Only then did Linda notice what was happening here, and she quickly walked over. The small ripple caused by an insignificant person faded away, and Shen Congjun finally walked back slowly, suppressing his anger as he said, "We'll talk outside!" Isn't it better this way? Ji Niandong followed him out of the hall without saying a word. "What happened? Why is she dressed like that and running here?" Linda followed them out to ask, but Shen Congjun turned his face away, saying nothing. As Linda approached, the stubbornly angry face of Ji Niandong suddenly took on a meaningful smile, "Tell me, if I inform the reporters that you two are in a relationship right now, could I get a tip-off fee?"

Linda stepped in front of him, glanced around to ensure no one else was around, and then calmly said, "Journalists need evidence for breaking news. I'm Ah Jun's agent, so it's normal for us to appear together every day. Besides that, do you have any ambiguous clues to prove we are in a relationship?" She was indeed a seasoned agent in the entertainment industry, completely unfazed by threats. Just because there was no trace of evidence, they secretly conspired, and she was completely unaware! Ji Niandong secretly swallowed, her fists clenched tighter, yet the smile on her lips remained, even as her brows dripped with icy coldness, "But, I have photos of Shen Congjun and me together!" Shen Congjun sneered coldly, holding his breath because of the occasion, lowering his voice, though the anger on his face couldn't be suppressed, "Ji Niandong, I've known you for so many years and never thought you were like this. Is it your excellent act, or have I been blind in judgment?" "Ah Jun, calm down!" Linda stopped him, looking at Ji Niandong with a gaze as if she were a stranger, her voice always calm as she replied, "An eighteen-line washed-up female artist, trying to seize the opportunity while Ah Jun is at his peak, if this comes out, it might even make headlines! Connecting it to 'Choked Love'... if you need some hype money, I can still pay you! But, Miss Ji, you must think it through, this despicable act of yours, even if you're lucky enough to star in a drama or movie in the future, you can't regain the public's favor! To be honest, with your looks, there are many executives, directors, and producers here, I can introduce you!" "Linda!" Shen Congjun called out unconsciously, seemingly reminding her not to speak like that. "What's wrong? Can't bear it?" Linda laughed, "Apart from holding hands and hugging, have you guys even kissed? To let her easily find a sugar daddy, do you feel like you've lost out?" Shen Congjun kept his lips tight and didn't speak again, but Ji Niandong felt like there was a thorn in her heart. Linda's words ridiculed her and Shen Congjun's "simple" male-female relationship. Together for five years, Shen Congjun seemed unwilling to touch her. Photos only of holding hands and hugging, even if exposed, they could always claim to be friends, while she became the eighteen-line actress trying to climb up the ladder. Even... finding a sugar daddy for her? They could shamelessly hook up, so did they think she could casually degrade herself as well? Ji Niandong was nearly humiliated to the point of no return, her fists clenched tightly, even her spine trembled, leaving behind a thin, desolate, and helpless figure. "Miss Ji, think carefully, with your looks, you can choose any role you want!" Linda emphasized again, her eyes filled with ridicule. "With Miss Ji's looks, if you don't mind, Mrs. Lu is in need of a fitting candidate!" A man's voice, gentle and as warm as jade, sounded beside her, startling Ji Niandong completely.
