Chapter 8: If You Know What’s Good for You, Get Lost

Chapter 8 - 8: If You Know What's Good for You, Get LostLu Beichen turned his head and asked, and Director Zhang hurriedly replied, "President Lu, Banana Entertainment's artist Shen Congjun is participating in the film 'Choked Love' this time, and this is his agent." Only then did Lu Beichen's gaze fall on Shen Congjun behind Linda. Was this the man who abandoned Ji Niandong? His delicate face still had some childishness, hiding behind a woman, remaining silent even now, his eyes full of panic and worry. Lu Beichen glanced at Ji Niandong beside him, his gaze clearly saying, "What did you see in a man like this?" Ji Niandong couldn't help but shrink her neck! "Who made the casting decisions for 'Choked Love'? Can any inconspicuous person take part?" Lu Beichen asked casually, yet his words completely dismissed Shen Congjun as worthless. Linda unintentionally felt disheartened. Does Shen Congjun's acting career have a future anymore? The artist she had cultivated single-handedly, who had only recently made a comeback thanks to a web drama, and now the internet was buzzing about the on-screen couple, but just one sentence from Lu Beichen, and everything was about to go down the drain, right? All thanks to Ji Niandong, but Linda dared not show the slightest sign of disagreement. "President Lu, I saw Shen Congjun was gaining momentum recently, so I invited him to play a male supporting role. YT has plenty of artists, and I truly didn't need to go to a small, obscure company to find a third-rate artist to participate." Even a highly esteemed director had to be courteous in front of Lu Beichen. He had won numerous awards, and none of the movies he directed hadn't become popular. What he said completely cut off all paths for Shen Congjun. Originally, it was thought that this film could enhance Shen Congjun's image, but unexpectedly, it ended up with nothing. Ji Niandong had never seen Linda so flustered! Linda gave Shen Congjun a nudge, and only then did he come to his senses, hastily pleading with Ji Niandong, "Tongtong, Linda didn't mean it, please talk to President Lu; today's really important for me, I can't lose this role!" A moment ago, he was indifferent, but now he was humbly begging her. Ji Niandong's heart chilled; indeed money and future mattered most to him, so much so that he could throw away five years of relationship just like that. Lu Beichen also just watched Ji Niandong, seemingly waiting to see how she would decide even if he was prepared to help her. Ji Niandong took a breath and merely responded indifferently, "I'm not that familiar with Mr. Lu, whether you can play that role has nothing to do with me!" She really felt helpless, but in others' eyes, she appeared cold and vengeful. Shen Congjun suddenly grabbed her hand, "Tongtong, you can't do this to me. Help me, and when I receive the payment, I'll give it all to your uncle for the surgery, okay?" The more he spoke, the more ridiculous Ji Niandong found it, unwilling to even glance at him! Lu Beichen noticed her frustration, grabbed her, and turned to leave this place full of contentious scenes. Shen Congjun still wanted to chase after them but was stopped by Li Yi. "Mr. Shen means our Boss can't afford the future father-in-law's surgery?" Li Yi seized the opportunity to hit when down, his words full of contemptuous sarcasm.

Shen Congjun hurriedly shook his head, and Li Yi continued, "If you're sensible, leave the hotel now, I won't bother digging deeper!" Linda's heart trembled, she hastily apologized while pulling Shen Congjun, and Li Yi added, "If you say a single word about today's events..." Li Yi chuckled softly, watching Linda and Shen Congjun scurry away like two homeless dogs.
