Steven looked at Wen Shujin in confusion: "Keys, why are you asking for them? I have plenty of them here." Then he took out the keys from his bag.

Wen Shujin held his forehead, forgetting that he only knew a little Chinese: "I came to you this time because I need your help with something."

Steven was even more confused after hearing this: "Jin, you are a painter and I am an engineer. What do you need from me?"

She met Steven at the HU in the United States. He had pursued Wen Shujin for a while, but Wen Shujin really didn't like him. They could be friends, but not lovers.

Steven was also sensible. Knowing that Wen Shujin didn't like him, he gave up and the two became friends. Steven learned his poor English when he was pursuing Wen Shujin.

Wen Shujin thought for a moment and said, "I own a TV factory and want to make TVs."

Steven slapped his face and said, "Jin, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I'm not interested in the TV."

Wen Shujin nodded: "I know you want to study semiconductors and chips, and you are more interested in computers, but I also have an idea. Why not listen to my opinion? The world is changing very fast. Electronic computers are indeed the trend, but they are expensive. You lack funds, and I lack technology.

If you help me build a television, I can give you 5% of the factory and I will invest an additional 5% as capital for your computer research and development."

Steven blinked and thought about what Wen Shujin said. He was indeed short of money. He was now looking for investment, but had been rejected dozens of times.

After thinking for a long time, Steven suddenly said: "fifteen percent"

Wen Shujin raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Six percent"

Steven shook his head: "ten percent"

Wen Shujin crossed his arms and said, "Seven percent, no more, or I'll find Ben."

Steven widened his eyes: "No, Jin, you can't be so heartless." Ben is his classmate, also a student of electronic information engineering, and both of them are friends of Wen Shujin.

Steven could only nod: "OK, I agree."

Wen Shujin smiled, her eyes curved and looked very beautiful.

Steven felt like he was being betrayed.

The two were still talking when a woman walked up to them and said, "Last time you were still hooking up with the elite of society, but now you're hooking up with someone new, and a foreigner at that."

Wen Shujin looked up. The woman was dressed in fashionable clothes, with red lips painted on and long hair draped behind her. There was a hint of arrogance in her eyes as she looked at her provocatively.

Wen Shujin never remembers unimportant people, so he has no idea who this woman is.

Wen Shujin glanced at her, pretending not to see her, and looked at Steven: "Are you full? I'll take you to the factory."

Steven spread his hands, indicating that he couldn't eat anymore.

The two stood up and prepared to leave. Zhao Lan'er saw that Wen Shujin didn't take her seriously at all, and she suddenly became angry. She picked up the soup that Steven had not finished on the table and poured it at Wen Shujin.

Steven was quick to block the soup, looked at the soup on his suit, and raised his head to look at the man: "Miss, why did you throw sugar at me?"

The accented words made some people laugh.

Wen Shujin then looked the woman straight in the eye. Her eyes were as deep as the dark night, making it difficult to see clearly.

Zhao Lan'er took a step back when Wen Shujin looked at her, and then she realized that she was afraid of what she might do.

Wen Shujin looked at her coldly: "I don't know you."

Zhao Lan'er became even angrier when she heard this: "You seduced my boyfriend and you actually said you didn't know me." Her voice was sharp. Most people who join entertainment companies have trained their voices. All of a sudden, everyone in the restaurant came over.

People around started talking about it, curious about the gossip.

"Is it Zhao Lan'er?"

"Is it the actress who has become popular recently?"

"Seems to be."

"I seem to have seen the woman next to her somewhere, but I can't remember where she is."

"Wait, I think I've seen this somewhere."

There were sparse discussions around.

Wen Shujin felt that she should check the almanac before going out today. If all the private rooms at the Peace Hotel hadn't been booked today, she wouldn't be here listening to this woman's nonsense: "Who is your boyfriend?"

Zhao Lan'er sneered: "You still don't admit that my boyfriend is Li Xun."

Wen Shujin then remembered that this was one of Li Xun's girlfriends, the woman he met in the mall last time.

"Li Xun? The shipping magnate's son?"

"Seems to be."

"Oh my god, big melon."

"Let me know who this lady is."

"who is it."

"The eldest daughter of the Wen family, Wen Shujin!"

"Indeed, I saw it in the newspaper..."

"The real person is better than the newspaper."

There were sparse discussions again. It was easy to imagine how explosive the love affair between the shipping tycoon's son, the actress, and the daughter of the richest family, the Wen family, was.

Wen Shujin listened to the voices around him and frowned slightly: "I don't know Li Xun." He really didn't know him in this life.

Zhao Lan'er heard the voice beside her, and her heart skipped a beat. The daughter of the Wen family was not the Wen family she thought of. She pretended to be calm and said, "If you say you don't know her, then I know her."

Wen Shujin crossed his arms, "You say I know someone, so I know him? If any woman comes out today and says I'm a mistress, and another woman comes out tomorrow and says I'm a mistress too, if everything depends on your words, what's the point of having laws?"

Wen Shujin looked down at the woman, his eyes stern. "Jing'an law stipulates that anyone spreading rumors will be detained for ten days if there are less than five people involved, six months if there are less than fifty people involved, and one to three years if there are more than fifty people involved."

Zhao Lan'er was so frightened that her face turned pale: "I... I..."

Wen Shujin continued in a cold voice: "I don't mind hiring the best lawyer to let the young lady receive proper government reform in there."

Zhao Lan'er pretended to be calm: "You are lying, you just want to scare me."

"What this lady said is true." A handsome man stood up and walked in front of Wen Shujin: "Miss Wen, if you need a lawyer, I can help you."

Wen Shujin knew him. He was one of the top lawyers in Jing'an's largest law firm and was well-known throughout Jing'an. "What's your name, sir?"

The man bowed like a gentleman: "I am Song Xiuran."

Wen Shujin returned the greeting: "Thank you, Mr. Song."

Zhao Lan'er shook her head. "Impossible, impossible. How come those entertainment news outlets that write gossip about female stars aren't sued? I'm in the entertainment news every day, and I can't even sue, so how can she?"

Song Xiuran looked at the woman and said, "Miss, you seem to be unable to distinguish between ordinary people and actresses. If actresses want to sue, they can sue. If you want to sue, I can also introduce you to a lawyer. However, actresses need fame. Once they sue, they will be blacklisted by the newspaper forever and will never be able to make a comeback. Miss Wen does not need that."

The stars of this era were different from those of later generations. Magazines and newspapers at that time had great power, and stars were just workers. Unless they had strong abilities or a powerful background, they would be completely forgotten by the audience in a year.

Zhao Lan'er's face was pale and she was so scared that she couldn't speak. She didn't know that her casual words would have such serious consequences.

"Oh, Lan'er, why don't you apologize and explain clearly."

A pleasant voice came over, and everyone looked at the person who spoke. They saw a woman in a royal blue dress and a hat walking over. She took off her hat and looked at Wen Shujin with a smile.

She stood there, as if glowing, so beautiful.
