The Bully President and the Serious Wife

Xu Lu slowly turned to Xie Zhenting.

He cleared his throat and began, "So, what do you want to say to your new boss?"

“Of course. A lot, actually.”

After a while, Xu Lu rushed towards him, stretched out her hand and touched Xie Zhenting.

Xie Zhenting was stunned and shouted, “What are you doing? It’s noon now. I’m not as casual as you think.”

Xu Lu yelled, "Give me that check...don't make me use violence."

Xie Zhenting and Jiang Lin were stunned. Xiao Liu tried to calm Xu Lu down, and a crowd began to gather around them.

"Calm down, Miss Lulu, calm down... You're a superstar, and the whole crew is watching. If this gets to the internet, it's going to be really bad."

Xu Lu shrugged at Xiao Liu. "I can't worry about that now."

Her eyes were so fiery that they could burn Xie Zhenting to death. "Give me the check. Now."

Xie Zhenting couldn't help laughing and gestured to Jiang Lin. Jiang Li quickly took out the check and handed it to her, her hands trembling slightly.

"Pen." Xu Lu nodded and snatched the check.

Jiang Lin took out a pen, took off his hat after careful consideration, and handed it to her.

Xu Lu quickly filled in a string of zeros. She didn't want to see how many zeros she had written, nor did she want to count them.

She tore off the check and put it into Xiao Liu's hand. "Wait a moment."

Looking at the zeros she added, Xiao Liu's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. "This is..."

Xu Lu threw the remaining checkbook back to Xie Zhenting.

“You treat me like an onion? You want to buy me for a dollar? Why don’t you just rob me? At least you won’t have to pay anything for it,” she said.

"You also want to send me away with two yuan," Xie Zhenting said naively.

Xu Lu smiled and said, "How can we compare? I gave you two yuan. It's twice as much as you offered, you stingy guy."

Xie Zhenting was speechless.

What's the difference between two yuan and one yuan? Oh, it's twice as much, obviously!

Jiang Lin was anxious to calm the situation.

"Ms. Lulu, this can't all be blamed on him. The president gave the checkbook to Miss Mei, and she can write as much as she wants."

Xu Lu gritted her teeth. "That stupid woman, still trying to talk about integrity at a moment like this? No matter how useless she thinks her studio is, I should at least be valuable, right? Who am I? I'm Xu Lu. I can see. I know the numbers. I have acting ability. I'm a complete package, and she's selling me for a dollar? If this gets out, how can I stay in this industry?"

Xie Zhenting stood up, straightened his messy shirt, and threw the checkbook back to Jiang Lin.

“The way you’re making your offer doesn’t sound like a new employee at all. More like a lady boss!”

Xu Lu looked at him from the corner of her eye and said, “The female boss has made it too easy for you. Now that you have this new employee, you can sleep on your own at night.”

However, Xu Lu suddenly had an inspiration. She gave Xie Zhenting a chance and whispered, "Boss... um... I'm very interested in this position.

Xie Zhenting reached out and pulled her chin. “Then, by all means, work hard for your dream! From an employee to a female boss, it’s not impossible,” he countered suggestively.

Xu Lu pushed his arm away. "Come with me, I have something to tell you."

The two of them walked to a secluded area on the set.

Xu Lu said seriously: "Since you are my boss now, I have to make good use of you. Help me find someone."

"who is it?"

“I’ll text you after today’s shoot with the exact details.”

“Why is it so mysterious?”

Xu Lu took a step forward, her body almost touching Xie Zhenting's body.

“Don’t ask me why I’m doing this, and don’t ask me what I’m doing. All you have to do is find that person. You don’t have to know the rest, and I won’t tell you.”

Xie Zhenting leaned against Xu Lu. He said, "Do you think I can't find out the truth myself even if you don't tell me?"

Xu Lu smiled calmly. "Go ahead and dig if you want. Just a friendly reminder: curiosity isn't always a pleasant thing."

Xie Zhenting stared into her eyes and looked at her lips that were still dripping with moisture, and his mood suddenly improved.

“Okay, I’ll help you. Think of it as a welcome gift for new employees.”

Xu Lu patted Xie Zhenting's chest and said, "Boss, I will thank you after you help me."

“You better make sure it’s a really special gift.”

Xu Lu's smile is as cunning as her eyes, and as naughty as her eyes.

"No problem, boss. You fulfilled my wish, and I'll fulfill your wildest dreams."

Xie Zhenting was overjoyed. "Okay, of course, but... you have to promise that you won't get involved in any scandals or rumors with any other movie stars."

“Well, that’s out of my control. I can only promise that I won’t go looking for scandal, but I can’t control what the media says.”

Xie Zhenting put his arm around her waist and said, "Don't worry. If anyone dares to spread any rumors about you, I will be happy to ban them."

Xu Lu rolled her eyes and replied, “You are rich, you can do whatever you want.”

"Jin Xuechuan gave you some fruit yesterday."

"How about it? You want to feed me too?"

“Yes, I had my people buy a truckload of dragon fruit. They’re waiting for you outside.”

"Xie Zhenting..."

...

After Xie Zhenting left, Xu Lu called Miss Mei and scolded her. However, amidst all the scolding, Xu Lu felt a comfortable warmth.

Miss Mei filled in one dollar because she didn't want to betray Xu Lu emotionally.

She didn't want to endure the forced betrayal and get any benefits. At that critical moment, this was the only thing she could think of.

Miss Mei was willing to go through all of this for her, which in itself is commendable.

In the evening, when the two of them met, Xu Lu handed the check to Miss Mei.

Miss Mei was so happy holding the check for more than half an hour that she was drooling over the money written on it.

In the end, however, she let it go and spoke rationally. "Xu Lu, I can't take this money. Don't worry, just listen to me. If I wanted that money, I would have filled it out yesterday, but if I really did that, I would have truly betrayed you. This betrayal is endless. If there's one, there will be a second, and a third. If someone offers a higher price than Xie Zhenting next time—someone more powerful—will I still sell you out?"

Xu Lu was moved. She continued to explain.

"I know, but I really can't stand it anymore. I'm a manager, so I have to have my integrity. I want one dollar, so this is my price. This money is yours, not mine. No matter what, even if I only make one dollar, I will never lose money. With the support of the Xie family, the entire entertainment industry is ours. There is no doubt that countless resources and sponsors will pour in soon. This is a golden chicken, dear!"

"Miss Mei, thank you for everything you have done." Xu Lu was not angry that the studio was sold to the Xie family company.

She understood that in order to go further in the industry, they must have a substantial supporter, and the Xie Group was undoubtedly one of the most solid supporters you could get.

Xu Lu couldn't even dream that Miss Mei could achieve such a feat.

Living in this materialistic and dog-eat-dog world, remaining loyal and not betraying someone - even in such tough circumstances - is a fairy tale in itself.

Miss Mei was saying, “I also think it’s a pity to give up so much money. So Lulu, you must tame that gangster, Xie Zhenting. You must make him love you like everyone else. You must help me get revenge.”

“Are you still worried about that? It’s only a matter of time before he’s tamed.”

"I'm sure you can do it. Go get them, you bitch!"

After sending Miss Mei away, Xu Lu quickly changed her clothes and walked out the door.

She had been busy with her filming over the past few days, which had delayed her plans with Tang Yuyao. Her plans were about to be realized and could not be delayed any longer.

She wanted to use Tang Yuyao's unborn child to start a massacre in the Xu family.

The Xu family's happiness has lasted too long.
