The Bully President and the Serious Wife

The next day, Miss Mei signed a contract with Director Zhang.

Jin Xuechuan encountered some difficulties in filming his album MV, so the filming had to be temporarily stopped.

Xu Lu packed her luggage and prepared to rush to the filming location in Beijing to prepare for the filming with other actors.

On the day he was about to leave, Jin Xuechuan came to the residential area and bumped into Xu Lu.

She said to him, "I'm rushing to Beijing to film a movie. Let me know when your music video shoot resumes. I'll be right back."

Jin Xuechuan was a little drowsy. He nodded and smiled. “Well, by then, you’d better not tell me your price has increased.”

She smiled. "I'm willing to do it for free. After all, it's a collaboration with Kawasaki."

Miss Mei secretly gestured to Xu Lu, reminding her that they were in a hurry to catch the plane.

Jin Xuechuan noticed this and told Xu Lu, “Take care. May the filming go smoothly.”

Xu Lu nodded. "Thank you."

Jin Xuechuan watched Xu Lu and her manager Miss Mei walk into the elevator.

His phone rang. It was his agent calling, and he answered it immediately.

The agent was very anxious. “Chuan Shen, when did you offend the Xie family?”

"The Xie family is the mastermind behind this conspiracy?" Jin Xuechuan frowned.

"Isn't it? The general manager of the Xie Group, Qu Jing, personally came to Golden Universe to express their acquisition intentions."

"I understand. I'll go to the company now."

...

After Qu Jing returned from the Golden Universe, he walked directly into Xie Zhenting's office.

He said, "President, why do you insist on acquiring Golden Universe and Universal Entertainment? I met with their CEOs today to discuss the acquisition. Do you know how much they're asking for? They're asking for 30 percent more than the market valuation."

Obviously, Qu Jing's discussion was fruitless.

Xie Zhenting's eyes left the computer screen and pointed directly at Qu Jing. "Am I short of money?"

Qu Jing was startled and shook his head. “Of course… no, but that extra thirty percent is still a lot of money. Even if we had a lot of money, we couldn’t spend it like this.”

Xie Zhenting leaned back. "Then why not just tell him? If he doesn't accept our price, then... we'll use force."

Xie Zhenting continued: "As a rich man, I have to show my power and wealth from time to time!"

Stunned, Qu Jing chuckled softly. "Boss, we...we are educated people. We...can't just resort to force like that. We haven't done this in a long time, right?"

"Did I order you to do this?"

Qu Jing smiled again. "I understand. Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Xie Zhenting waved Qu Jing away. The latter stood up and blew his mouthpiece.

He stood at the door but didn't leave. Instead, he asked, "President, I heard there's a woman who's making you very unhappy. Tell me who it is. I'll help you deal with it."

Xie Zhenting glanced over with cold eyes. "Do you think it's your turn?"

"I said too much." Qu Jing ran away immediately.

At the door of the room, Jiang Lin was holding documents in her hand, waiting to go in. Qu Jing gave Jiang Lin a reminder. "He is in a bad mood."

Jiang Lin rolled her eyes. "Have you ever seen him in a good mood these days?"

After thinking for a while, Qu Jing replied, "Yes, indeed not."

Jiang Lin took a deep breath before knocking on the door.

"President."

He greeted the CEO and placed the documents on his desk.

Xie Zhenting looked at the documents leisurely. "What has she been doing these days?"

After that night, Xu Lu never contacted Xie Zhenting again.

Jiang Lin knew who he was asking about. But she wasn’t sure if Xu Lu had gone to Beijing, so she answered, “She didn’t do anything. She usually stayed in the apartment.”

Xie Zhenting sneered. “She’s a calm person. Tell Hong Manyu that the investment will be postponed. Let’s see how long she can keep calm if she has nothing to shoot.”

He thought they were partners in crime after they murdered someone that night, and she should have been the first person to contact him, but she proved to be more headstrong than expected.

Jiang Lin hesitated for a moment and said, "President, you...you seem to spend too much time on Miss Lulu?"

Xie Zhenting picked up a pen and signed the corner of each page of the document. "So talkative. It seems like you two have a lot of free time at work."

Jiang Lin watched the pen move, trembling with fear. Xie Zhenting's murderous intention was obvious, and every stroke was like a knife.

Jiang Lin immediately apologized. "I'm sorry. I said too much."

Xie Zhenting threw the pen aside. He knew clearly that he had spent too much time on Xu Lu.

It was a feeling that no one else could understand; in fact, even he himself couldn't understand it.

He didn't know when it started, but Xu Lu, that name and that woman, became his nightmare. The only way to escape that nightmare was to catch her.

Xie Zhenting said: "Be cool to her. When she gets desperate, she will come to me for help. Make all preparations and tell Miss Sun that we are going on a business trip tomorrow."

"OK!"

...

A week later, Xie Zhenting returned from his business trip.

He went home for a good night's rest and returned to work the next day.

Jiang Lin stood in front of Xie Zhenting trembling, not daring to move.

Xie Zhenting stood at the window and asked slowly: "Are you going to tell me that she has done nothing in the past week?"

Jiang Lin quickly replied, "A week ago, Miss Xu went to film a movie. She's now... in Beijing."

Xie Zhenting turned around. "She's filming a movie?"

Jiang Lin stammered, “This is… a TV show that someone took away from her. Miss Lulu took the role back.”

She already knew the specific reason—it seemed like a case of two sides fighting each other and ultimately losing. However, she had a feeling that things were more complicated than that. She had already sent someone to investigate, and they should have results soon.

Xie Zhenting’s face lit up with a smile. “Good. I underestimated her!”

Three years ago, Xu Lu was arrested. He waited for her to come and beg him, but the woman managed to get out alone.

After three years, he thought he would never be attracted to that woman again, but in the end, she turned out to be more charming than before.

History repeats itself - both times he waits for her to beg him, but in the end...

Xie Zhenting felt itchy in his heart and was so excited that it was indescribable.

He's always angry, but he's never really mad.

Whenever he saw her standing in front of him, she looked so weak that he could knock her down with one punch. He could crush her with one finger, but why couldn't he catch her? In the hunting ground, Xie Zhenting felt like a hunter.

Xu Lu was his prey, and he had to catch him at all costs.

Resentment flashed in his mysterious eyes. "How did she get that role?"

Jiang Lin explained earnestly: "Xu Mingzhu found out that Ning Xue had slept with Pei Luochuan. She beat Ning Xue so badly that she had to be hospitalized. Under pressure from the Xu family, Ning Xue lost the role, so the director once again considered Miss Lulu."

After hearing this story, Xie Zhenting sneered, his face full of contempt. "Do you really believe that she has nothing to do with this?"

“Honestly, no, I don’t believe it.”

Xie Zhenting put his hand on his tie and loosened it. "Keep a close eye on her every move and book a ticket for me to Beijing tomorrow."

Jiang Lin was shocked, not knowing whether he was really going to chase her all the way to the capital.

When he saw the will and determination in his boss's eyes, she shut up.
