Together For A Long Time

Chapter 21: Have a meal

Views:

Although Luo Jing is just a screenwriter, she has a huge number of fans. Her Weibo fans alone reach more than 30 million, which is a result that many young actresses cannot achieve after years of hard work. What's more, she speaks with her works. She is capable and talented. Most of her fans are intellectuals. If these intellectuals get angry, few black fans can withstand them. Just looking at her fans' eloquent one, two, three, four, five, six comments makes people unable to refute. The hot searches change rapidly, and Luo Jing's photo instantly rushed to the top. This position, which usually requires buying and selling, opened a back door for Luo Jing and she rushed to the top directly.

It was the first time for her fans to see her in person and they were so excited that they couldn't hold back their excitement and started typing on their keyboards:

—Aaaaaah, I’ve been a fan of Luo Shen for four years, four years, and I haven’t seen a single photo of him! I finally saw one this time!

—I don’t know the true face of Mount Lu, I burst into tears, Luo Shen’s true face is too good-looking, right? I’m okay again, woooooooooooo.

—What kind of god is Luo Shen? He has both beauty and talent. From now on I will be his bootlicker. Thank you.

—I used to say that I’m a fan of the looks, but what about those haters who called me Luo Shen ugly? Come on, let’s battle online!

—Is this Luo Shen? Holy shit, is this Luo Shen? This is too good-looking.

—You've missed the point, sisters. The point is that Luo Shen posted a photo for the first time for his friends. Friends, sisters, when did Luo Shen care so much about his friends? Not only did he personally invite her to the car, he also spoke for her in person. I'm jealous, I'm so jealous.

—What's the point of being jealous? I have to say that Jian Yan is awesome. Her backstage is so strong that Luo Sanri even personally supports her. Awesome! Who is the CEO behind this

—Bullshit! Haters, don't think you can start a quarrel like this. Do you know who Luo Shen is? Still taking sides? You think too much. You probably forgot what Director Xiao did before. Unless Luo Shen is willing, no one can do anything to her!

Director Xiao is an up-and-coming director. He just won the Magnolia Award for Best Director for a TV series. Later, he switched to making movies and unexpectedly became even more popular. He produced several excellent works and won many awards. People in the circle have been looking forward to the cooperation between Director Xiao and Luo Shen, saying that they are a double king combination. Director Xiao himself also admires Luo Sanri very much, so he went to invite him. After three visits, he was rejected. Luo Sanri told him very bluntly that he was not interested in working with him. When this news reached the ears of fans, they all laughed that Director Xiao didn't understand Luo Shen well enough. There were only directors that Luo Shen wanted to work with. No director could invite Luo Shen, not even Director Xiao. After this news came out, netizens gave Luo Sanri an image of being upright and incorruptible. Now some black fans are talking about her image. Not to mention her fans, even netizens don't agree!

—I’m not a fan of Luo Shen, but I know her temper. There’s no one in the circle who is so powerful that can do anything to her.

—Jian Yan invited Luo Shen? You're overthinking it. Judging from the photos, it was Luo Shen who took the initiative.

—Sisters, I’m shipping this couple!

—This is such a perfect match, they are so beautiful!

—I guess Luo Shen will post an introduction on Weibo soon: Hello everyone, this is my girlfriend, Jian Yan.

—Hahahahahaha, what the hell am I laughing at? The Luo Shen that I like has someone he likes, how can I still laugh? Am I crazy? But this couple is so sweet, woooo ...

After Luo Jing posted on Weibo, the news on the Internet gradually went astray. The Weibo posts reposted by major bloggers were all Luo Jing's. The titles were either Luo Jing speaking for her 'friend' or photos of Luo Jing, while the previous ones about Jian Yan were all deleted. The associated words changed from Jian Yan and sponsor to Jian Yan, Luo Shen, Jian Yan, and Luo Sanri. Su Ziqi had expected that this was a bombshell, but she didn't expect these fans to be so tactful. She hadn't even started hyping up their couple yet, but these fans were the first to start posting. It's no wonder that the fans cheered. Although Luo Jing has been famous for a long time, she seldom talks about her private affairs, and there are even fewer on Weibo. Every time she posts, it's about the promotion of her works, some official photos, and one or two official compliments. She is like a mysterious person, coming and going without a trace. Now this mysterious person has revealed her true identity for her 'friend' and is confirming that she has friends on the Internet for the first time. It would be strange if these fans didn't explode!

Compared to Su Ziqi's happiness, Jian Yan was not so happy. She was browsing Weibo and saw that the number of fans was skyrocketing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The black fans who had been leading the rhythm under her Weibo were speechless after being sprayed by Luo Jing's fans. They dared not say a word. Looking at the screen full of people saying "Come on, little sister" and "Little sister is so beautiful, and she is a good match for Luo Shen", she felt a little powerless. She had decided before that she would definitely hype up the couple when she made a comeback, but she had never thought about what to do if the other person did not treat it as a hype

Luo Jing, I'm serious.

She had made exceptions for herself several times, and if Jian Yan couldn't see her specialness anymore, she would be an idiot. At this moment, she would rather be an idiot and pretend that she didn't know, but she couldn't do it.

Su Ziqi turned around and saw Jian Yan looking worried. She asked, "What's wrong? Is there anyone making trouble on Weibo?"

Jian Yan came back to her senses, turned off her phone and replied: "No."

Su Ziqi smiled and said, "I didn't expect that screenwriter Luo has such a great influence. That's great. Give her a call later and thank her."

Jian Yan bit her lip, wanting to say something but stopping herself. After a few seconds, she nodded: "Okay."

"Oh, right." Su Ziqi said, "I have an appointment with the coach. I was just about to tell you, but I was so busy that I forgot. Are you free now? Go to the gym to find him. I have an appointment for you until 7 o'clock, so I think it will be postponed for an hour."

Jian Yan stood up and said, "Then I'll call screenwriter Luo first, and then go straight to the gym."

Su Ziqi gave her an OK gesture and said, "It just so happens that I have to deal with some online stuff. Someone must have done this on purpose. I'll go find out who it is."

Although she had some guesses in her mind, she didn't dare to say for sure, after all, there was no evidence.

Jian Yan lowered her eyes and nodded.

After leaving the office, she stood by the window. Su Ziqi had been training new employees before, so the gym was not far from her office. Jian Yan walked out but didn't want to go to the gym. She stood by the window, took a breath of cool air, and her mind became much clearer.

Luo Jing had helped her so much, so she had to thank her, but she also had to distance herself from the relationship. She hadn't thought about emotional matters at all right now. She was afraid that if she did nothing, Luo Jing would have a wrong feeling. It would be bad if she misunderstood her more, but what if she didn't think too much about it

Jian Yan tensed up her nerves, and after thinking for a while, she finally mustered up the courage to call. The phone rang several times but no one answered. She didn't know what Luo Jing was busy with, and the tone was always busy. Jian Yan breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. She hung up the phone, thinking of calling again at the end of the night.

When she went to the gym, she met the coach Su Ziqi had mentioned. His last name was Meng Anyi, and he was about 30 years old. He had a buzz cut and wore a white T-shirt and casual pants. His facial features were very resolute and he had a good figure. He was not shy about showing off his muscles. When he saw Jian Yan, he waved, "This way."

Jian Yan walked over, and Meng Anyi said with a smile: "Zi Qi told you everything, right?"

"I've already mentioned that." Jian Yan replied, hanging the bag on a rack. Meng Anyi nodded: "Let's get familiar with the equipment first. How long have you not exercised?"

Jian Yan thought about it for a while. It wasn't too long, but it was indeed a long time since she touched fitness equipment. Not long after she debuted, Su Ziqi arranged for her to have a body shaping coach. That period was simply devilish training. She filmed during the day and exercised at night. Sometimes she got hungry at night and wanted to eat something, but she searched the whole house and could only find some water. Biscuits and bread were confiscated by Su Ziqi. Don't even think about it. Later, she suddenly retired from the entertainment industry and was not used to it for a while. She bought fitness equipment in her apartment. She was very active in the first year, but in the next two years, she only used the treadmill and basically didn't use the others. Jian Yan said, "Almost two years."

"You've maintained a pretty good figure then." Meng Anyi said truthfully, "You run often, right?"

Jian Yan nodded: "Often."

"That's good. Get familiar with the other equipment first. I'll show you your schedule." Meng Anyi turned and walked to a lounge in the back. After a while, he came back and handed Jian Yan a form. It was not like the devilish training before. Instead, it was exercise every one or two days. Meng Anyi explained: "Zi Qi said that you have a new play and a new show, and exercise should also be gradual, so this arrangement was made temporarily. Is it okay with you?"

Jian Yan looked at the form. They had already taken good care of her. It would be strange if she had any more questions. She shook her head: "No problem."

"Ok." Meng Anyi hung her form on the wall among a row of forms, turned around and said, "I'll send you a message in advance later."

Jian Yan smiled: "Thank you for troubling Coach Meng."

"We are all colleagues, don't be polite, that's the locker room, did you bring your clothes?"

Su Ziqi had told her before that she would have a body shaping training this afternoon, so she had brought all the necessary equipment. Jian Yan pointed to the bag hanging on the other side: "It's inside."

Meng Anyi smiled. Jian Yan looked very casual, but unexpectedly she was very careful. Many artists would not prepare sportswear when they came to the gym for the first time. In fact, he had already prepared a set for Jian Yan. He just asked about it casually, but he did not expect Jian Yan to prepare it herself. This was very rare.

Seeing that he was smiling but not talking, Jian Yan wondered, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Meng Anyi said, "Go change your clothes first. I'll wait for you here. After you change, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the equipment."

Jian Yan smiled at him and went into the dressing room. Meng Anyi sat outside and waited for her. Girls took a long time to change clothes, especially female artists. He was used to it. After sitting for a few minutes, Meng Anyi took out his phone and checked Weibo. He saw that the company group message was flashing non-stop. He clicked in and saw someone said: Did you check Weibo? ! Shocking news, Luo Shen is going to have a girlfriend!

Little Rabbit: Are you talking about Jian Yan? Not a friend

Pumpkin: When have you ever seen Luo Shen be so tough? Just for a friend

Chen Zi: By the way, I heard that Luo Shen came to the project team yesterday. Did he come to discuss being on the show? Lin Mu from the project team.

Lin Mu: Confidential.

Chen Zi: Tsk! Keep it a secret! Is Jian Yan going to be on that show too

Lin Mu: Keep it confidential again.

Meng Anyi saw them chatting and thought of the show and filming that Su Ziqi said Jian Yan was going to participate in. There was no doubt that she was going to film a show. The news had come out, which was Half a Dream. That variety show, was the new variety show of the project team? He had never really cared about these gossips. He would forget them after seeing them, so he didn't take them to heart until someone mentioned it.

Chen Zi: I just saw Jian Yan go to the gym. Did she go to the gym? Who is her coach? Papaya, Bass, Cherry, Orange.

Papaya: I am her coach.

Chen Zi: Hey, little Yiyi, tell me, has Jian Yan told you about her relationship with Luo Shen

Meng Anyi smiled. This was a company group with so many people. Not to mention that Jian Yan didn't tell him about her relationship with Luo Shen, even if she told him, he wouldn't be able to tell her. These people were too gossipy. Meng Anyi replied: No.

This message came right after I sent a private message. Meng Anyi thought it was Chen Zi from the Publicity Department who sent gossip, so he clicked on it and saw that it was unexpectedly a message from the project team, and it was from Ji Han: Is Jian Yan training at your place

Ji Han has been in the company for nearly half a year and almost never speaks in the group, but they are all acquaintances. The project team often comes here to look for people, so Meng Anyi also knows him. He replied: Yes, I am.

Ji Han sent another message: What time does the training end

Meng Anyi didn't know what she wanted to do, but then he remembered that Jian Yan was going to be on a show, which might be about their project team. He replied without hesitation: It will probably end around eight o'clock.

Ji Han stared at the screen of her phone, thinking. It was about eight o'clock when she ended the chat with Meng Anyi. She went back to Weibo and saw that the names of Luo Sanri and Jian Yan were still on the hot search list. The comments below changed from "Luo Shen is so beautiful!" to "Luo Shen, I can do it!" and "Luo Shen is so beautiful!" to now: "Luo Shen, go for it! Hug that beauty!" and "Luo Shen, come on! I look forward to your Weibo post about your relationship!" and "Luo Shen and Jian Yan, this couple is a lock for me!"

There were countless comments like this, and soon the thread was filled up. Ji Han recalled that when she contacted Luo Jing before, she couldn't even get her assistant's phone number. Later, after she signed her sister-in-law, Luo Jing took the initiative to express her interest. She hadn't made any connection with the matter before, but now it occurred to her that Luo Jing was on this show just for her sister-in-law!

She didn't think there was anything wrong with Luo Jing pursuing her own happiness, nor did she think there was anything wrong with Jian Yan. Even if her sister-in-law really developed a relationship with Luo Jing, she had no objection. But she just couldn't bear to let her go. Such a good sister-in-law was going to be someone else's girlfriend, and she couldn't bear to let her go no matter how she thought about it.

The most important thing is, does her sister know about this

Ji Han pondered over it and after thinking for a while, he called Ji Yunxin.

"Sister, are you busy?" Ji Han asked cautiously.

Ji Yunxin just came out of the conference room. The negotiation was not going smoothly. The other party kept pressing the price, so she was not in a good mood. Her voice unconsciously became colder. "What's the matter?"

"Nothing." Ji Han whispered, "My car broke down and I sent it for repair. I want to borrow your car to go back."

Ji Yunxin walked forward. The partner behind her was still looking for an opportunity to talk to her. She gave the secretary a look, and the secretary blocked the partner's people. Ji Yunxin stepped on her high heels and said, "Got it. Come directly to my office after get off work."

Ji Han narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Yunxin walked straight to the elevator. The assistant had already pressed the elevator button. Ji Yunxin's face was tense, with no expression on his face, and his brows were stern. The partner chased after him and said, "Mr. Ji, are you really not considering it anymore?"

Ji Yunxin seemed not to hear it. When the elevator arrived, she went in first, followed by two secretaries and an assistant. The partner then realized that she was really not interested. He gritted his teeth and thought that he should not have lowered the price so much just now. It was no use regretting it now.

In the elevator, the assistant stood in front, and two secretaries stood behind her, protecting her in the middle. Occasionally, when the elevator stopped, the employees saw that it was Ji Yunxin standing inside and hurriedly stepped back, saying respectfully, "Mr. Ji, please go first."

Ji Yunxin looked at those respectful employees and thought of Jian Yan for no reason. She was standing outside the elevator with an indifferent expression and cold eyes. It was as if she was looking at a stranger. There was no warmth in her eyes. Ji Yunxin thought for a long time. When the elevator arrived, she did not move, and no one else dared to move. The assistant whispered, "Boss Ji?"

Ji Yunxin finally came back to her senses and looked at him with fierce eyes. The assistant lowered his head and said, "We're here."

"Um."

Ji Yunxin responded coldly, brushed past him on her stilettos, and walked towards the office. Two secretaries and an assistant behind her asked in confusion, "Is Mr. Ji in a daze today?"

"I was in a daze twice."

"Is there any big project in the company?"

"Or is there something big wrong with the company?"

In the end, the three of them studied for a long time but could not come to any conclusion. They shook their heads at each other and dispersed. Ji Yunxin, who was being discussed among them, entered the office and walked to the lounge. She poured a cup of coffee, took it and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. The sky was dark, approaching dusk, and there was a lot of traffic downstairs, neon lights were flashing. The scenery in front of her was the one she had seen countless times, and there was no difference, but her eyes were fixed on the ground below.

There is still a difference, she just didn't notice it.

Ji Yunxin took a sip of coffee, the slightly bitter taste filled her mouth. She swallowed it, turned and walked to the desk, where several documents were waiting for her signature.

When Ji Han went upstairs, he saw Ji Yunxin working with her head down. Her long hair was neatly tied behind her head. She was wearing a light blue suit with a shirt of the same color underneath. One button of the shirt collar was undone, revealing her beautiful and delicate collarbone. A silver necklace was wrapped around her collarbone, emitting a cold and sparkling light. Ji Han opened the door and sat on the sofa, complaining, "I'm so tired."

Ji Yunxin just raised his eyelids to look at her, and continued to work with his head down. Ji Han held the phone and asked, "Sister, when are you going to get off work?"

"Wait another half an hour." Ji Yunxin said and pressed the intercom: "Send the documents sent by President Lu in before leaving get off work."

The person on the other end of the phone said respectfully: "Okay, Mr. Ji."

Ji Yunxin hung up the phone, glanced at the computer, and typed very quickly. After a few seconds, she paused and looked at the screen with burning eyes and a serious expression. Ji Han supported her chin and looked at her sister. Just looking at her like this was pleasing to the eye, but she was so irritating when she spoke. Sometimes she even wondered if all her emotional intelligence had been eaten up by her IQ, resulting in her being smart, the company's performance was booming, and all the major projects she did were successful, but she had a problem with her relationship. It was too difficult!

She was originally scheduled to return to China after the New Year. Ji Songlin and Du Yan called her and said that the relationship between her sister and sister-in-law was still tense, and asked her if she could come back earlier to help them break the ice. After all, she was young, so she should ask them out more often to help them ease the relationship. That's why she came back early. Unexpectedly, when she came back, she was busy and hadn't taken care of her sister yet, her sister dropped a bomb and said they were divorced.

She didn't do anything, but she still felt a little guilty. Maybe if she had asked Jian Yan and her sister out earlier and let them stay together earlier, maybe they wouldn't have gotten divorced. Ji Han let out a breath and saw Ji Yunxin typing again. She picked up her phone and sent a message to Meng Anyi: Is Jian Yan gone

Meng Anyi was instructing Jian Yan on how to do the poses when a message alert sounded. He said to Jian Yan, "Try doing a few yourself first."

Jian Yan nodded, Meng Anyi picked up the phone and looked at it, then replied: "No, it will be over around eight o'clock. Director Ji, is there something you want to talk to Jian Yan about? How about I ask her to come up to see you?"

Ji Han sat up straight from the sofa and replied quickly: No, no, I'll just come down on the way, you guys continue.

After she finished sending the message, she looked at Ji Yunxin and saw her getting up to pack her things. Ji Han asked, "Is it over?"

Ji Yunxin nodded: "Yes."

Ji Han breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go."

Ji Yunxin picked up her bag and opened the door. The secretary stood straight outside. Ji Han said, "Let me drive. Don't let them follow."

"Okay." Ji Yunxin winked, and the secretary took a step back. Ji Han stood at the elevator entrance and said, "It's been a long time since I got off work with my sister."

She took Ji Yunxin's arm and said coquettishly, "By the way, I have a document to send to the gym. Sister, can you come with me?"

Ji Yunxin had no choice but to say, "Okay."

The two of them were standing in the elevator, and Ji Han asked, "Sister, do you know how to check Weibo?"

Ji Yunxin didn't quite understand why she asked that, and replied with a frown: "Do you think I'm such a free person?"

"You don't just brush it because you have nothing to do." Ji Han said, "For example, you care about someone, right..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the elevator arrived. Ji Han dragged Ji Yunxin down and she said, "It's over there."

Two figures walked towards the gym. At this time, almost everyone in the company had gone off work. Only the incandescent lights were shining in the corridor. Ji Han pushed open the door of the gym and saw Meng Anyi standing aside and watching Jian Yan running. She said "Hey", Meng Anyi looked at her and saw Ji Yunxin beside her. He ran to the two of them without having time to talk to Jian Yan and asked, "Why are you here, President Ji?"

Ji Yunxin glanced at Ji Han: "Didn't you say you had something to do?"

Ji Han nodded and said to Meng Anyi: "I have a document for you to sign. Let's go to your office."

Meng Anyi was a little confused: "Me?"

He is a coach, what documents need his signature? Meng Anyi was puzzled, and did not dare to ask too much, so he had to follow Ji Han to the office. On the other side, Jian Yan was still on the treadmill. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail, with a purple headband on her forehead and headphones on her ears. At this moment, soothing music was playing. She wore a white shirt and blue casual pants, and a pair of light-colored sneakers. The sportswear was thin and very close-fitting, which made her figure more slender. She was full of energy and vigor. She was not running fast. From the side, you can see that she was slightly out of breath, and her pink lips were slightly parted. She was breathing.

Ji Yunxin was originally just standing by the door waiting for Ji Han. After her eyes met Jian Yan, she withdrew her gaze very politely. The entire gym was very quiet, with only the sound of the treadmill. After Ji Yunxin stood there for two minutes, her eyes unconsciously fell on Jian Yan again.

There was another reason why she actually didn't like being alone with Jian Yan. This person was too beautiful, so beautiful that it was hard to take her eyes off her. Everyone would appreciate beautiful things, and she was no exception. But when this person was Jian Yan, she had to restrain herself.

Jian Yan glanced at the time on the treadmill. Almost half an hour had passed. She slowed down, put down one of her headphones, and panted, "Coach Meng, please give me a towel."

There was no movement behind her for a long time. Jian Yan had slowed down. She took off her two headphones and turned around. A white towel was handed to her. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Meng..."

The smile froze on her face. Jian Yan's hand holding the towel paused, then loosened, and the towel fell on the treadmill. Ji Yunxin bent down to pick up the towel, hung it on the rack next to it, and took out a clean one and handed it to Jian Yan.

Jian Yan did not resist this time. She took it and said softly, "Thank you, President Ji."

"You're welcome." Ji Yunxin's face was tense, his expression was cold, and the words he uttered were still cold. Jian Yan wiped her forehead and cheeks twice to wipe off the sweat stains, but did not take the initiative to speak. The atmosphere was awkward. Just when she was about to say that she needed to change clothes and leave, she heard Ji Han's voice: "That's it, thank you."

Meng Anyi scratched his head: "Okay."

The two of them approached together, and Meng Anyi looked at Jian Yan: "Are you done running?"

Jian Yan nodded: "I'm done running."

"Then go change your clothes first." Meng Anyi said, "That's all for today."

Jian Yan smiled: "Okay."

She and Ji Yunxin nodded slightly. Ji Yunxin looked from her face to her rising and falling chest, nodded and looked away. Jian Yan walked towards the locker room without even a glance. Ji Han smiled and said, "Why don't you go back first?"

Meng Anyi said: "Then should I say hello to Miss Jian?"

"No need." Ji Han said, "I'll talk to her about the show later. I'll talk to her for you."

Meng Anyi glanced at Ji Yunxin, and seeing that she didn't say anything, he had no choice but to say, "Okay, then I'll go first."

Ji Han waved at him, and after he left, Ji Yunxin asked, "Have you signed the document?"

"Signed." Ji Han patted his bag and said, "Wait for me for a few minutes. I have something to talk to Miss Jian about."

Ji Yunxin looked at Ji Han. She had a rather dignified expression and sharp eyes. Ji Han drooled at her gaze and kept checking her phone, pretending to be busy. The two stood there for five minutes. The door of the dressing room was reopened, and Ji Han hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law!"

She bit her lip before she finished speaking: "Miss Jian."

Jian Yan's eyes jumped from her to Ji Yunxin. She looked around and didn't see Meng Anyi. She asked, "Is Coach Meng gone?"

"Yeah, I just left." Ji Han said, "How long have you been practicing? Are you hungry? Let's go have dinner together?"

Jian Yan was a little surprised. She looked at Ji Yunxin on the other side and saw that she frowned and looked unhappy. This sudden invitation should be Ji Han's idea. She refused and said, "No, thank you. I'm not hungry yet."

"You have to eat dinner even if you're not hungry!" Ji Han retorted, and insisted: "There's a good restaurant near the company, why don't we go take a look?"

Jian Yan refused: "Really, no need."

Ji Han was puzzled and asked: "Why?"

Seeing this, Jian Yan had to tell the truth: "I can't eat with you guys."

Ji Han stopped talking with just one sentence. Ji Yunxin beside her frowned even more tightly.

The author has something to say: Now

Ji Han: Sister, do you check Weibo

Ji Yunxin: Do you think I am the idle person

later.

Ji Han: Sister, I heard that you were holding your phone during the meeting. What were you looking at

Ji Yunxin: Check Weibo.

Ji Han: …

Thirty random red envelopes, muah.
