Chapter 303 - A Strategy Burying a Trap (9)
Reborn Aristocrat: Oppressing
Yan Kelan scoffed.
Lu Manman left the company and sat in Qin Aoâs car with Zhang Cui.
Zhang Cui was behind Lu Manman throughout the whole process as she listened to Lu Manman negotiate. Although she admired her boldness, she still felt that it was not worth it to spend so much money to sign Jian Tong. She could understand the determination a person had when they set their mind on something, but they could not be too impulsive, right? Someone at the same level as Jian Tong should not be hard to find in the entertainment industry!
âWhat are you trying to say?â Lu Manman looked at Zhang Cui.
Zhang Cui hesitated, then tactfully said, âActually, I think other artists, such as Zhong Ying, are not badâ¦â
âAre you trying to persuade me not to spend so much money to sign Jian Tong?â
âMm-hm.â Zhang Cui nodded.
âDo you think Iâm being impulsive?â
âMm-hm.â Zhang Cui nodded.
Lu Manman smiled.
The more realistic it felt, the better.
She looked at Zhang Cui and slowly said, âI donât think Jian Tong is that good either, and itâs not necessary to win her over.â
âThenâ¦â Youâre letting your emotions affect your decisions! Zhang Cui gritted her teeth and said, âThe board of directors wonât agree to your proposal, Director Lu. The board of directors already has a problem with you, and besides your father who supports you, no one else trusts you. If the performance doesnât improve, Chairman Lu canât be too protective of you. â
âI know youâre worried,â Lu Manman said. âAnd what I want is far from what you can imagine.â
Zhang Cui really did not understand.
âActually, you should look good with your glasses off and with makeup. Why donât you doll yourself up and start dating?â Lu Manman suddenly joked.
âDirector Lu, are you suspecting my work ability, so you want to fire me?â
âYouâre thinking too much.â Lu Manman could not help but laugh. âI just feel that life needs some adjustments.â
Zhang Cui was confused.
Lu Manman did not say much. She looked at the caller ID and picked it up. âMo Yuanxiu.â
âIs Miss Lu busy?â
âWhat do you think?â
âYouâre so busy that you probably donât have time for dinner.â
âWhy are we having dinner together all of a sudden?â Lu Manman furrowed her brows.
âItâs Ye Hengâs birthday.â
âIs he celebrating?â Lu Manman asked.
âIt happens once a year, after all.â
âThis must be your excuse for fooling around,â Lu Manman said.
âJust take it that way,â he said nonchalantly. âCall me if you have the time. If not, go ahead.â
With that, he hung up.
Lu Manman looked at the words: call ended. She felt inexplicably angry.
What did he mean by calling him when she had the time?
Couldnât he be more sincere in treating her to a meal?
âDirector Lu?â Zhang Cui suddenly asked.
Lu Manman looked at her.
Zhang Cuiâs face was a little red. âThe seasoning to life youâre talking about, is it like you and your husband⦠having a fight occasionally?â
Lu Manman was speechless.
âActually, looking at the two of you makes me want to date,â Zhang Cui said softly.
Lu Manman looked at this old woman.
She looked like the spring breezeâ¦
Was Secretary Zhang blind? Couldnât she tell that she and Mo Yuanxiu did not have a good relationship?!
Her eyes flickered, and she bit her lip.
Ye Hengâs birthday?
If she remembered correctly, Ye Heng and Mo Yuanxiu had the same birthday!
