After breaking off the engagement, she became the CEO's favorite

Chang Hong and Lu Ranran came to the building built by Shen’s.

In Lu Ranran's opinion, Chu Yue certainly has her own network of contacts, but we do too.

With Shen's construction as our backing, why not wait any longer?

But Chang Hong has reservations about this.

"As an investor, Shen's would only care about whether you make money or not, not what problems you encounter."

"Although because of your identity, Shen can indeed..."

“But I still hope there’s a balance within the project.”

Chang Hong's words were very tactful, but Lu Ranran immediately understood the deeper meaning.

Xia Tianxin is already a headache now, if Lu Ranran comes along and uses the Shen family's name to put pressure on her.

Chang Hong will gradually lose her control.

Lu Ranran advised sincerely:

"Sister Hong, I understand your concerns."

"But I can assure you that if there is any dispute between us, it will definitely be limited to the crew and will not extend to other areas."

“Moreover, our cooperation is based on consensus.”

"Now that this consensus has been challenged, we must seek external help to defend it."

But Chang Hong was not persuaded and her smile was very forced.

“We are all serious people.”

"But it's our seriousness that has put us in this situation, isn't it?"

The implication is that perhaps in the future they will lose the space for cooperation because of their nitpicking.

Especially when Lu Ranran has the absolute resources of Shen’s company.

"Sister Hong," Lu Ranran looked into her eyes seriously, "You are throwing the baby out with the bathwater."

Lu Ranran paused, then said lightly:

"We're talking so seriously here."

"Maybe Shen's company doesn't have such resources at all."

Chang Hong and Lu Ranran sat opposite Shen Xiling. After listening to their request, Shen Xiling decisively rejected their request.

There are good reasons for the refusal.

"Shen's company cannot interfere in these matters, otherwise it will be suspected of controlling public opinion."

Shen Xiling adjusted his glasses and added.

"At least not openly."

Lu Ranran sensed the space and nudged Chang Hong with her elbow.

Chang Hong understood and immediately expressed his attitude.

"Of course I will come forward."

"After all, I am the one who is most responsible for this project."

Shen Xiling nodded calmly and raised his hand to ask Xiao Li to bring two invitations.

The invitation letter had the words “Contemporary Television Summit” written on it in large letters.

Shen Xiling said:

"Maybe the organizers sent two invitations after hearing about Shen's investment in South City Media."

"But I'm busy lately and don't have time to go."

"Go and have a look when you have time."

Opening the inside page of the invitation letter, there is a list of many people who will attend the summit.

Among them are several people affiliated with the Broadcasting Bureau.

Chang Hong and Lu Ranran looked at each other and understood each other.

Before leaving, Shen Xiling suddenly called Lu Ranran.

Chang Hong tactfully left first.

"Aren't you very busy?" Lu Ranran sat back in his chair and stared at Shen Xiling with interest. "Anything else you can advise me on?"

Shen Xiling restrained his businesslike look, folded his hands, and rested his chin leisurely on the back of his hands.

"No advice, just a compliment."

"?"

The smile on Shen Xiling's face grew wider.

“When you encounter difficulties, you know to ask for help.”

Lu Ranran's heart trembled, and she blinked calmly.

"I can enjoy the shade under a big tree."

The implication was that she was just borrowing the Shen family's power to show off.

Shen Xiling said in a gentle voice:

"It's a matter of luck and ability to be able to borrow."

"But what you borrow it for is entirely up to your conscience."

“If you think you’re doing the right thing, don’t be ashamed of having a backer.”

Lu Ranran looked a little sad after hearing this.

"You're putting a lot of pressure on me..."

In order not to abuse such a backer, she must constantly reflect and remind herself to make sure she has not gone down the wrong path because of paranoia or bias.

Shen Xiling curled up the corners of his mouth, and his usually handsome features were tinged with a hint of frivolity.

"'A gentleman is innocent, but guilty of possessing a treasure'..."

"In that case, don't treat the beautiful jade as a burden."

“Use it when it’s needed.”

Lu Ranran gradually reacted after she left.

When Shen Xiling was talking about the beautiful jade, was he referring to the Shen family or himself?

This person is really thick-skinned to compare himself to a beautiful jade...

However, Lu Ranran had no time to think about it carefully.

The time for the summit is approaching quickly.

Lu Ranran and Chang Hong printed out all the documents and arrived at the summit on time.

After the two speeches in the morning there was a luncheon.

This is also the time they chose.

Taking advantage of the busy lunch buffet, Lu Ranran and Chang Hong will have the greatest chance of approaching their target.

But as soon as Lu Ranran entered the venue, he discovered that several seats in the front row were empty.

Until the lunch meeting, the person who was supposed to take the empty seat did not show up.

Chang Hong and Lu Ranran looked at each other and thought it was over.

It turns out it’s just a name!

No one shows up, where should the information be submitted?

Just when the two were hesitating and in trouble, Chu Yue arrived late.

Chu Yue is nearly 50 years old, but because of proper maintenance, she still looks like a mature young woman in her thirties and still has her charm.

She was wearing an expensive suit skirt, with her hair carefully tied behind her head, and was holding a glass of wine, socializing with the crowd.

Lu Ranran suddenly looked at her and thought to herself that something was wrong.

Chu Yue hurried over, followed by a young man in a suit.

"Ranran, Mr. Chang, why are you here too?" Chu Yue said, while holding Chang Hong's hand affectionately.

"You didn't even tell me you were going to attend. How polite!"

Chang Hong smiled back, not to be outdone.

"Look at what you said, it's just a coincidence, isn't it? I didn't expect to run into you."

"We really are not a family. We don't even live in the same house."

The two of them smiled politely.

"Come, let me introduce you to Section Chief Zhu Wenzhu."

The young man standing behind Chu Yue stepped forward and saluted.

He had a shaved head and wore formal black-framed glasses. He glanced at Lu Ranran and then looked away in shock.

Chang Hong extended her hand, "Hello, I'm Chang Hong."

Zhu Wen said "hmm" coldly and didn't say much after shaking hands.

At this moment, Chu Yue came closer and whispered to Chang Hong:

"Didn't you say there was a problem with the permit approval?"

"Section Chief Zhu is in charge of this."

Chang Hong gave Lu Ranran a look, and Lu Ranran understood and walked forward with the information.

But when Chang Hong was about to catch up, Chu Yue pulled Chang Hong to the other side and said, "Come on, there are many people here. Let me introduce them to you..."

Lu Ranran came to Zhu Wen alone.

"Hello, I am--"

Before he could finish his words, Zhu Wen, without even raising his head, stuffed a magnetic card into his hand.

"Look for the room number yourself. It's eight o'clock tonight, no later--"

"Zhu Wen!"

A sharp female voice silenced the entire venue.

Zhu Wen was so frightened that he loosened his grip and the magnetic card fell to the tile floor with a "click".

Lu Ranran looked in the direction where the sound came from.

Isn't this Qian Yu? !
