章 8: Runway

Special Assistant Bei Yuan stood at the side as he listened to the friend's conversation. The corner of his lips twitched as he heard President Zhang seemed not to mind about investing his money no matter how much.

His trust in President Lu Xun that this friend was not going to make him lose money was really something.

These two friends were really special.

As the two were discussing the new studio that will start operating next year, Lu Xun seemed to notice that his assistant was standing at the door for the first time. He waved for the man to come closer and asked about their new program.

Bei Yuan blinked when he heard the question. He really thought that his boss was joking when he asked him to choose any show that he liked. However, after working with President Lu Xun for years, Bei Yuan learned that most of the time, his boss would never joke around. Therefore, he had diligently picked up a few shows.

Lu Xun looked at the list of shows that his assistant had picked. Then, he looked up and raised a brow. "This is what you picked?"

Bei Yuan felt his sweat trickling down his back. He peeked at the paperwork on his boss' hands again as he started to doubt his decision. "Yes. Is there… any problem with it? After doing a little bit of research, I thought that the three shows are definitely the best."

"Hmm…" Lu Xun pushed his glasses with his forefinger. Then, he turned to his friend and asked, "What do you think?"

Zhang Yu Han studied the list and asked, "A cooking show?"

"It's not just a cooking show," Bei Yuan said. "This cooking show is more towards variety. I just thought that we can use a show like this to promote our artist more."

He had read the description and thought that the show would be interesting and funny. It was the kind of show that would give their artist a positive image.

Zhang Yu Han turned to Li Qin Yao, his wife to show the list and the two continued to discuss in a low voice.

Looking at this situation, Bei Yuan felt a little anxious. It as if the three people in front of him were interviewing him or something.

The three of them continued to discuss for a while and finally looked up when they reached an understanding.

Lu Xun sat back on the sofa languidly and spoke, "We'll just go with what you have chosen."

Bei Yuan stared at his boss in disbelief. "Really? Are you sure?"

The corner of his lips tilted up. "I trust you."

Bei Yuan had a foreboding when he heard his boss's words. Before he could say anything, the phone in his pocket started to buzz. Bei Yuan picked up the phone call and informed his boss that the show was going to start.

Soon, they walked out of the room and headed towards the hall. Lu Xun took the others to the front seat and sat put the little girl between him and his friend.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Yu Han raised his brow. "What are you doing?"

Lu Xun shifted his gaze between Zhang Yu Han and Li Qin Yao. His expression showed his resentment. "I refused to be fed with dog food. It's better to have your daughter next to me lest I would overhear something I shouldn't."

Every time he saw the couple together, the two of them would never shy from showing PDA. As a single man, Lu Xun could never enjoy this.

Once he finished saying what he wanted, Lu Xun turned his head towards the stage to watch the show.

The host came out to speak a few words. When he left the stage, the music started and the runway turned dark. The spotlight shone towards the stage and soon a model walked out to show the new collection.

Everyone has been working on this show for the last few months, however, in less than twenty minutes, the runway ended.

As the people started to leave the area, Lu Xun turned to his friend again. "There's a small party after this. Would you like to join?"

"We can join you, but we won't be staying for too long," Zhang Yu Han said. "Our son is still waiting for us to come back."

Lu Xun nodded. "It's fine. Just leave after you eat something. I'm planning to leave after meeting a few people as well." He led the couple to another hall where the party had started.

When they walked in, there were not many people in the hall. Most of the investors and those who were interested in fashion had gathered outside to mingle. Seeing the half-empty hall, Lu Xun dragged the family of three to the buffet table to eat.

At this time, a few models who were walking on the runway earlier walked in.

Zhen Qi was one of the models under Next Bright Entertainment who had taken a part in this runway. Seeing that her big boss was at the corner with some big shot, Zhen Qi decided to head over and greet them.

"President Lu," Zhen Qi greeted.

Lu Xun looked up and nodded when he saw the girl. He exchanged a few words with the model and asked about her experience backstage. As he continued to chat with his model, Lu Xun made no intention to introduce this model to his friend.

Zhen Qi was aware that those who had other intentions towards their big boss will never stay at the company for too long. Thus, she had long stop fantasizing about having a relationship with her boss. However, if it was her boss's friend, then, that's a different story, wasn't it?

However, seeing that the man she was targeting had never turned his head to her even once, Zhen Qi was a little disappointed. The man she wanted to entice had not spared her a glance, but that little girl beside that man keep on staring at her long legs in awe.

Zhen Qi excused herself and was about to turn around and leave when she saw a flash coming from across the room. Her eyes narrowed as her gaze followed the direction towards that area.

At the same time, Lu Xun stood up. He saw the flash at the same time as Zhen Qi and his expression grew dark. His eyes caught the sight of a young woman, fumbling her phone in a panic. Lu Xun instructed Zhen Qi to head inside before he walked over towards the flustered woman.
