After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Zhu Jinming was incredulous when he received the news.

The duck that was almost in our mouths is just flying away? This won't do!

Enraged, he swept the fruit plate off the table and onto the floor. "Tell me who dared to steal from me? Are they tired of living?!"

The assistant was completely bewildered. When he tried to call Xian Jiahe again, she refused to answer.

Having grown accustomed to a high-handed attitude, he had never been treated so badly before. Not to mention Zhu Jinming, he was also unaccustomed to it.

"I'll go find out right away! Young Master, don't be angry. This project will definitely come back to us. Think about it, as long as you say no one is allowed to touch this project, who would dare to make a move! All those film and television companies in the industry have to respect your reputation!"

The Zhu family has been involved in the film and television industry for years, and they have always been domineering, resorting to any means necessary to get their hands on any project they set their sights on.

If I can't get it, I'll ruin its reputation; I'd rather destroy it than let people live in peace.

Because of this assertive style, many small and medium-sized film and television companies avoid the Zhu family like the plague.

It's not that we can't afford to offend them, but there's no need to get ourselves into trouble.

Zhu Jinming thought about it and realized that it was probably some company executive who had been misled by Xian Jiahe and didn't know that this project was one of his interests.

"Find out the truth quickly, I need to call them myself and ask them what they mean!"

Before his assistant could reply, Zhu Jinming's phone, which was on the sofa, suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was an unknown number.

"Hello, who is this?" Zhu Jinming answered the call easily.

“I am the investor you are looking for.”

The voice on the phone sounded somewhat familiar, but also unusually young, which made things easier.

“I advise you not to get involved in this mess, or you’ll end up with nothing.” Zhu Jinming paused, “But if you withdraw your investment and apologize immediately, then I won’t hold it against you.”

A soft chuckle came from the other end.

Zhu Jinming suddenly stood up. He knew whose voice it was. It was Sheng Yunchao!

"Sheng Yunchao, it's you?" He suddenly felt a burning pain on his face again.

"It seems that Young Master Zhu still remembers me, so I won't introduce myself. I'm calling to tell you that I'm definitely getting involved in this mess, and I won't leave empty-handed; I'll make a fortune. As for you, Young Master Zhu, be careful not to overreach yourself, or you might get chopped up without even knowing it."

Zhu Jinming's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't been very optimistic about the project, but since his friends said it could make money, and Sheng Yunchao had said so too...

Who is Sheng Yunchao? He is an investment genius who has never lost a case since he took over the Sheng Group at the age of seventeen!

He's filled with regret now; he shouldn't have played with Xian Jiahe. He should have sent someone to pick her up from the airport.

He was helpless against Sheng Yunchao, after all, his mother had dragged him home after being beaten that day and complained to the old man.

The old man not only didn't feel sorry for him, but also slapped him again.

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Jinming angrily slapped his assistant twice as he walked in, yelling, "Useless!"

The assistant's face was turned to one side from the slap, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes, but he quickly said, "Young Master, I found out that Lu Sijian may have been involved in this matter."

Zhu Jinming slowly sat down on the sofa.

He couldn't afford to offend Sheng Yunchao, but Lu Sijian was a different story.

With both old and new grudges combined, he couldn't just let it go like that no matter what!

-

When Lu Sijian received the news that the contract had been signed, a huge weight was finally lifted from her heart.

She picked up the documents on the table, got up, and knocked on Lu Lingjun's door.

"Brother, I think Wang Ma's work performance has been outstanding lately. I'm planning to give her a big red envelope as a reward for everyone."

Lu Sijian had thought it over carefully. If she gave Wang Ma a large sum of money or valuable gifts, she definitely wouldn't accept them.

Despite her shrewd appearance, Wang Ma is actually very honest; she wouldn't even dare to take anything that the family is about to throw away.

Her former employer once had a gold necklace stolen from their home. At the time, the woman of the house insisted that Wang Ma was the culprit and even called the police.

Wang Ma was detained for seven days. When she was released, she thought the truth had come out, but it turned out that her family had to pay a large sum of money before the female protagonist dropped the case.

Later, she confronted the boy, who was in middle school. He proudly said that he had sold the necklace, but he had spent all the money and she had no proof.

Wang Ma was furious and dragged the other woman to confront the mistress. The mistress slapped her twice without saying a word and asked her sternly, "Do you want to ruin my son?"

Wang Ma's heart sank. The mistress knew everything, yet she still pinned the blame for the theft on her.

Her reputation was completely ruined after this incident; no one would hire a thief as a nanny.

After leaving that house, Wang Ma walked alone on the street and cried for a long, long time in the cold winter wind. When a little girl with a schoolbag passed by her for the third time, she finally couldn't help but sigh and took her home.

That little girl is Lu Sijian.

Perhaps because she was traumatized by those seven days of confinement, leaving a deep psychological scar, Wang Ma became extra careful afterward and never took a needle from anyone else.

Whenever I entrust her with something to buy, the accounts are always accurate down to the cent.

Because he was too upright, he never asked for special treatment.

Lu Sijian rarely fought for a reward for her, and she fully expected that Lu Lingjun would have no objections.

However, Lu Lingjun put the documents aside and said, "Ah Jian, I'm planning to reorganize the servants at home recently. It's not appropriate for you to suggest rewarding a few people at this time. It's easy for you to become the target of everyone's criticism."

Lu Sijian: "???"

[These unscrupulous capitalists aren't even willing to spend this little bit of money?!]

Lu Lingjun sighed and took out another document from under his desk.

"Do you remember Ye Fengling? This is the evidence I had found out about Ye Fengling taking kickbacks. In the last two years alone, she has embezzled more than 300,000 yuan."

Lu Sijian wasn't interested in this matter, but if Lu Lingjun was unhappy, then she was happy.

[Wow, Sister Ye is really this bold! I thought she only dared to fool Lu Lingbai, but I didn't expect her to even tamper with the accounts.]

This is going to be interesting. Lu Lingjun manages all the other expenses of the Lu family. This is practically robbing money out of Lu Lingjun's pocket!

"Brother, let's be lenient when we can. Sister-in-law Ye only took some kickbacks. Isn't it understandable that her daughter is sick?"

She suddenly covered her mouth in surprise, "Brother, you're not going to call the police and send Sister Ye to jail for such a small amount of money, are you?"

Outside the door, Lu Lingbai's heart tightened upon hearing this. He hurriedly pushed the door open without thinking, saying, "No, brother, you can't do this!"

This kind of thing can be a big deal or a small deal. Most people won't go to extremes, but will instead demand that the stolen money be returned.

But Lu Lingbai was unsure, after all, his elder brother had been able to ruthlessly scheme to fire even his trusted assistant Kong, who had served him for many years.

Lu Lingjun frowned: "Nonsense, get out!"

Lu Lingbai looked at him stubbornly: "Brother, Sister-in-law Ye has gone to the back mountain to grow vegetables, isn't that enough? If it's still not enough, I'll give you more money, okay?"

Lu Lingjun: "You think this is about money?"

"Isn't that right?" He had heard it; his older brother wouldn't even give Wang Ma a red envelope.

[Let's fight! Let's fight already!]

Is the drama of brothers fighting about to unfold so soon?
