章節 4: A Dating Scandal

Capital City…

The black Maserati glided into the office area and finally stopped at the entrance. At this time, a man dressed in suit and tie descended the stairs and waited beside the vehicle.

Soon, the door swung open and a man dressed in a blue shirt and suit alighted. The top button of his shirt was left unbuttoned, giving him a languid and relaxed look.

Lu Xun pushed his black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose before he threw his car keys to the parking attendant. He then walked up the stairs and the man who has been standing beside his vehicle followed.

"President Lu," Special Assistant Bei Yuan called up his name anxiously. Before he could continue and talk, the special assistant saw that his boss had raised a hand, signaling him to stop talking.

"What's so important?" Lu Xun spoke in an unhurried tone. He turned to his assistant and raised a brow. "Is the company going bankrupt? No? Then, whatever you wanted to say, just say it once we get into the office."

Hearing his words, Special Assistant Bei Yuan wanted to cry. Obviously, he had come down to greet his boss because he needed to report an important matter. However, his boss did not seem to care much about it.

Last night, someone had snapped a few photographs of President Lu Xun with that B-list actress, Feng Miao Miao was seen exiting the luxury hotel together. Once the photograph was spread on the internet, the netizen could not stop discussing this. In an hour, a dating scandal between the President of NEXT Group and that B-list actress, Feng Miao Miao, became the trending topic.

A few of the netizens had gotten used to seeing the news of President Lu Xun's dating scandal and knew that soon, his team would come out with a statement to rebuke this rumor.

However, some thought that actress Feng Miao Miao will soon elevate her status and finally entered as an A-list actress as she had grasped President Lu Xun's thigh.

Why would those netizens think this way?

A lot of people from the entertainment circle wanted to be associated with President Lu Xun.

NEXT Group started in Capital City around five years ago and had quickly become one of the top companies in the country.

They knew that NEXT Bright Entertainment was just one of the subsidiaries under the NEXT Group. Lu Xun had a few businesses under the NEXT Group and each one of them had quickly helped him to make more money.

Previously, President Lu Xun has been photographed by the media with different girls before. However, this was the first time that he was seen walking out of the hotel together. Naturally, the netizen was anxious and some began to believe that this rumor was true.

Although actress Feng Miao Miao's acting was mediocre, she had an adorable face and was very soft-spoken. She was the type of girl that men would love to protect and pampered. This was also one of the reasons the netizen believed how Feng Miao Miao managed to attract a lot of male fans and became very popular among the director and investors.

Therefore, for once, some netizens believed that President Lu Xun had finally found someone he liked and would settle down.

However, as someone who had been working with President Lu Xun for a few years, Special Assistant Bei Yuan was positive that nothing happened between the two of them.

He had watched his boss around a few women and never seen him taking interest in any of them.

Lu Xun would treat the women well, but he had no interest to get in a relationship with them.

At one point, Special Assistant Bei Yuan was very sure that his boss… really had no interest in women.

It was only after he had overheard a rumor about his boss's previous girlfriend that he realized that it was not the case.

Special Assistant Bei Yuan did not know who was that woman and what had happened that caused them to broke up, but he could guess that the reason his boss was not dating anyone was related to his ex-girlfriend. After all, he had heard a rumor that the woman was his boss's first love.

The reason why President Lu Xun was not interested to be in a relationship at this moment was linked to that woman.

It's either he loved her way too much that he was unwilling to move on, or that he was hurt badly in that relationship to the point that he was no longer interested to move on.

Lu Xun pushed the door to his office and slid into the swiveling chair behind the desk. He rapped his knuckles on the table and raised a brow at his assistant. "Speak. What is so important that you could not wait to say?"

"President Lu, this is regarding your dating scandal with actress Feng Miao Miao."

Lu Xun raised his hand again. He let out a long, heavy sigh and rubbed at his temple. "What is it? After a few years working with me, you still did not know how to handle this thing?"

"President Lu, rest assured. The team had drafted a statement and it was scheduled to release the moment you give your approval."

Lu Xun's face turned darker. "This kind of matter… do you still need my approval? Bei Yuan, it seemed that after working with me for a few years, your senses had gotten dull."

Bei Yuan was agitated. "No. It's just that… it seemed that we have encountered a problem. It seemed that actress Feng Miao Miao had a backer. Her father is someone who worked with the ministry and had some influence in the government. Since you were photographed together with Feng Miao Miao, her father wanted you to be responsible. "

"Responsible?" Lu Xun's tone grew heavy.

"He said… as long as you agree to marry his daughter, he will make sure that your business will continue to flourish in Capital City," Bei Yuan spoke. "If you don't agree… then he will not hesitate to bring you down. He warned that you might lose your company."

Lu Xun stared at his assistant face for a few seconds before he burst into a fit laugh. He took off his glasses and wiped the tears on the corner of his eyes. "This is hilarious." He took a while to compose himself and suddenly, his expression turned serious. "Assistant Bei Yuan, do I look like someone who has to rely on a woman?"

"No. Of course not."

"Go ahead and release the evidence." Lu Xun leaned on the chair and sneered. "A low-ranked minister wanted to threaten me? No way."
