"Eat." Lu Yao only replied with two words.
Ji Guanxin almost laughed out loud when he said this. Look at her tepidness. It was really choking, and Jian Chengli was probably going to be pissed to death by her.
Jian Chengli was surprised when she saw Lu Yao and Ji Guanxin together. She knew exactly what he meant. It's so annoying to have to come back. Jian Chengli didn't lose face on the spot, it was definitely not because he was afraid of anything else, he just didn't want Ji Guanxin to see the joke for no reason.
Ji Guanxin looked at the expressions on the faces of Lu Yao and Jian Chengli. at last. Or he took over the words with a smile: "Young Master Jian, don't you know yet? Xiaolu has signed a contract with Xinrui and will officially start her internship in the company tomorrow, so I don't want to treat her to a meal in advance. You also know , It’s hard work in our business. I’m going to give Xiaolu a good meal so that she can start work tomorrow.”
Ji Guanxin shouted one after another, which already made Jian Chengli's eyes cast a layer of suppressed sullenness.
"She went to your company for an internship?" Jian Chengli finally frowned. I couldn't tell whether it was disbelief or displeasure. Anyway, it was a questioning tone.
Ji Guanxin ignored his tone, nodded and replied: "Yes, Xiaolu hasn't told you yet? I thought you knew everything."
After speaking, he deliberately glanced at Lu Yao.
Jian Chengli let Guan Wan go. Lu Yao was holding her breath and feeling distressed about this matter, when she was caught off guard and stabbed by Ji Guanxin. She was numb, she was used to this feeling anyway.
She looked at Jian Chengli and said calmly: "I'm going to Xinrui for an internship. I wanted to tell you, but you said you had something wrong, but I didn't tell you."
Jian Chengli looked at Lu Yao and didn't speak for five seconds.
The atmosphere gradually became a little weird, and Guan Wan also looked embarrassed, not knowing where to turn his eyes.
Ji Guanxin raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "What do you mean, Master Jian, by not speaking? Are you afraid that I will treat Xiaolu badly?"
Jian Chengli calmly adjusted his breathing, looked at Ji Guanxin, and replied with a faint smile: "Young Master Ji really loves to joke, and Lu Yao has never offended you, why are you treating her badly?"
Ji Guanxin followed his words and said: "That's right, every wrongdoer has his own debtor, and whoever offends me will be the one I go to."
After saying that, he looked meaningfully at Lu Yao opposite, and said with a smile: "Besides, I like Xiaolu very much. We get along very well, and I won't cheat anyone."
The veins on Jian Chengli's forehead twitched, and then he said half-truthfully: "Then I'll have to trouble Master Ji to worry more about it. If Lu Yao gets bumped somewhere, I'll have to settle the score with you."
Ji Guanxin said with a smile: "Of course, I will treat her as my biological sister. You can rest assured if you put her next to me."
After saying that, he raised his eyebrows slightly and added: "How about Mr. Jian sit down with us?"
Jian Chengli said: "No, we still have something to talk about. Please excuse me."
Jian Chengli and Guan Yuan walked away. Ji Guanxin immediately looked at Lu Yao across the table. He didn't know if he was overthinking it. He clearly saw that Lu Yao's face turned pale.
"Your brother doesn't seem very happy to know that you are coming to Xinrui for internship." Ji Guanxin deliberately poked her.
Lu Yao endured her heart numbing with pain, raised her eyes to look at Ji Guanxin, and said expressionlessly: "Tian Cheng reported your scandal, and of course he won't be happy if I work for you again."
Ji Guanxin said: "Correct your wording, it is news, not a scandal. And..."
He deliberately leaned forward and put his arms casually on the edge of the table. He did not feel ashamed at all. Instead, he looked at Lu Yao with a worried look and said, "I think Tian Cheng is really, really unprofessional. Wanting to be famous is not just a way to become famous. Just take a photo of something and add a title that you think is very gimmick, as well as a lantern riddle that a six-year-old can guess and a mosaic of a little pornographic picture. ', which dominated the entertainment headlines for four days. Do you think that the overwhelming noise on the Internet proves that the news is good and the company is popular? But you must know that the foundation of news lies in the authenticity of the content. Now Chen Youlun wants to damage his reputation. If Tiancheng loses the lawsuit, how much money will he have to pay? "
Lu Yao looked at Ji Guanxin intently, and even though she felt a lot like him, she would not let her anger show off or reveal even a single word in front of him.
This is also a side of Ji Guanxin that both annoys and slightly admires her.
Among girls her age, ninety out of a hundred are impulsive, and the remaining ten are either mute or born useless.
But Lu Yao is obviously different. She knows it better than anyone else in her head. She is holding back her evil thoughts in her heart and doesn't say anything on her lips.
If she didn't say anything, he would force her to.
Now that the dining table has become a negotiation table, Ji Guanxin looked at her with burning eyes and said seductively: "Xiaolu, I am also a victim of the headlines made by Tiancheng Entertainment in order to make me angry. If I also get involved, , accusing Tiancheng of damaging my reputation and indirectly lowering the market value of Xinrui Entertainment's stock. What do you think Tiancheng's chances of winning this lawsuit are? If he loses... Jian Chengli's net worth is enough to compensate?"
Lu Yao's hands on her knees couldn't help but the fingertips trembled slightly. She quickly clenched her fists, and then pretended to be calm and replied: "You can tell Jian Chengli what you said, why do you want to tell me?"
Ji Guanxin smiled and said bluntly: "Because I want you to say a few soft words to me."
Such blatant teasing, Lu Yao couldn't help but blush, not from shame, but from anger.
I'm angry that I don't have the ability to challenge Ji Guanxin, I'm angry that I'm not as capable as him, I'm angry with myself...
"You really like to joke." Lu Yao's smile was full of sarcasm.
Ji Guanxin said without changing his expression: "I'm not joking. If you say a few soft words to me, I won't wade into this muddy water and sue Tiancheng."
Knowing that Ji Guanxin's words could not be trusted, Lu Yao just couldn't bear to give up this one-in-a-ten thousand opportunity. Just like Ji Guanxin said he wanted to talk to her about Tiancheng and Jian Chengli, didn't she just follow him here obediently
Lu Yao persuaded herself in her heart that it is not shameful for a woman to speak softly, not to mention the priorities.
Looking at Ji Guanxin, she softened her voice and asked, "What soft words do you want to hear?"
Ji Guanxin was really unexpected, really unexpected.
He thought that Lu Yao would never give in, just like she had the courage to come to Xinrui as an intern.
But she made his prediction wrong again, but this mistake... it made him feel inexplicably happy.
Looking at Lu Yao, the smile on Ji Guanxin's face unknowingly became more genuine. After thinking about it, he said, "How do you usually coax people?"
Lu Yao replied truthfully: "I usually don't coax people."
She always has something to say, but if she can't say it or doesn't want to say it, she won't say it.
Xu Yingjia often said to her, if you didn't have a lovable face, you would never be able to get married in this life with your stubborn mouth and weird temper!
Ji Guanxin said: "Then think of a few words now and coax me as much as you want. I'm easy to coax."
Lu Yao didn't know how Ji Guanxin managed to pull off such an old face and still act cute in front of her at the age of thirty-three. He just relies on his youthfulness.
She didn't even say that she blushed when he teased her, but at this moment, Lu Yao blushed and felt ashamed for Ji Guanxin.
It was rare for Ji Guanxin to see Lu Yao's expression change, and he was even more happy at this moment. He smiled and said, "Don't be embarrassed. Just speak softly, as long as we two can hear you."
Lu Yao swallowed secretly, making Ji Guanxin's body goosebumps one after another.
Before her scalp stood up, Lu Yao hurriedly whispered: "Xinrui is a big company, and you are not short of money. Just give Tiancheng a chance to develop, and don't sue them."
Ji Guanxin nodded: "Well, what next?"
"there is none left."
Ji Guanxin raised his eyebrows: "Didn't I ask you to say a few soft words to coax me? How soft are these words?"
Lu Yao replied seriously: "I praised Xinrui as a big company, and I also praised you for not being short of money."
Ji Guanxin: “…”
"Ha..." After a long while, Ji Guanxin breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't laugh or cry: "Is this what you call coaxing?" No wonder she doesn't usually coax people.
Lu Yao lowered her gaze, her long eyelashes covering the embarrassment in her eyes.
Seeing this, Ji Guanxin restrained his wanton smile and said, "Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you anymore."
Lu Yao didn't respond, and Ji Guanxin added: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you praise someone's skills or not. The key is that I am happy after hearing it. Forget it, I won't wade into this muddy water."
Lu Yao then raised her eyes to look at Ji Guanxin, indicating with her eyes whether he was true or false.
Ji Guanxin nodded: "Really, I keep my word."
Lu Yao didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or not. There was nothing else she could do except bend down and say something nice to him. I just hope that for the sake of happiness, Ji Guanxin can let Tian Cheng take a breath for the time being and not push too hard.
Maybe Lu Yao's 'soft words' really had some effect. At least for the next hour or so, Ji Guanxin was in a good mood, and some of the words he said to her were not as harsh and unpleasant as before.
After finishing the meal, Ji Guanxin called the waiter over. Lu Yao had already prepared the bank card. She and Ji Guanxin handed the card to the waiter.
The waiter was stunned, seeing this for the first time.
Ji Guanxin looked at Lu Yao, and Lu Yao said, "I invite you."
Ji Guanxin smiled lightly with a hint of ridicule: "Are you deliberately trying to make me look bad?"
After saying that, taking advantage of Lu Yao's hesitation, he took her card back, and the waiter took his card to swipe it.
"Don't worry, please come next time."
Lu Yao didn't insist, just nodded and said: "Okay."
After paying the bill and preparing to leave, Jian Chengli and Guan Wan came out of the private room. Jian Chengli looked at Lu Yao and said naturally: "Let's go."
Ji Guanxin said: "Master Jian, don't you want to send your girlfriend home?"
Jian Chengli said: "After Lu Yao and I sent Guan Wan back, we went directly back to our home."
He intentionally or unintentionally deepened the word 'self'. Ji Guanxin smiled lightly and said: "Why do three people squeeze into one car? It will also delay you from talking privately with Guan Wan. I will send her back."
