Chapter 1168: Mr. Lu, You’re Popular on the Internet Now

“The CEO and Ms. Lin share a good relations.h.i.+p. I’ll bet a packet of spicy strips that they must have kissed!”

“Ever since Boss fell in love, he’s seemed to be under a spell. I don’t recognize him anymore. He even smiled at me when he was in the office today. It looks like we will have a lot of peaceful days to come.”

“…” Gu Mo lowered his head and tried his best to hold back his laughter.

Lu Zhanbei walked in without changing his expression.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the group of people was shocked and hurriedly sat down at their seats without saying a word.

Lu Zhanbei didn’t speak and just browsed through the doc.u.ments in front of him.

Until a certain department’s director said, “CEO, I watched the TV last night. I feel that you and Ms. Lin… you and Madam are very compatible. When will the wedding be held?”

Lu Zhanbei curved his lips. “Soon.”

Everyone jolted to attention and took turns to curry favor with him. They complimented Lin Wanwan for having a good character and said that both of them were good-looking. They heaved a sigh of relief only when they saw the smile on Lu Zhanbei’s face getting wider.

It looked like they would be able to turn the tide.

As soon as everyone thought this, Lu Zhanbei threw out a sentence lightly: “Global has recently accepted a few new projects. In order to finish them as soon as possible, I hope all of you can work overtime for two months. That’s not an issue, right?”

“No…”

“The company’s been facing some funding issues recently. As the long-time employees of Global, you wouldn’t mind going through these difficulties with the company. Thus, everyone’s year-end bonus will be halved. That’s not an issue as well, right?”

Mr. Lu’s proficiency at lying through his teeth was at a professional level.

“…No.”

Everyone had a crying face. The CEO was still that stubborn CEO.

At this moment, the mobile Lu Zhanbei had placed on the table rang. He swiped his finger across the screen.

Lin Wanwan’s cheerful voice could be heard from the receiver. “Mr. Lu, you’ve become popular on the Internet. Do you want to exit the commercial world and develop yourself with me? If we combine our strengths, we can definitely dominate the entertainment circle!”

“Chuckle…”

Hearing that someone was laughing, Lin Wanwan asked, guarded, “Am I unlucky again to have called when you are having your meeting?”

“Yes.”

Lin Wanwan was silent for a while, then smiled in embarra.s.sment. “Heh heh, you’re on TV now anyway. Your company’s employees shouldn’t comment excitedly on a commonplace thing. If they laugh at you, don’t punish them. It’s not easy to be your men. Ok, I won’t disturb you any longer.”

Lu Zhanbei had dealt with all the people who saw him as a joke yesterday.

He cut off Mo Chen’s supplies, gave Tang Chen a little trouble, and reminded Shen Zhiyi’s father that she was no longer young and it was time for her to get married.

Lu Zhanbei put down his mobile and swept his eyes across everyone. “Forget whatever that I had said just now. Let’s start the meeting.”

Everyone felt relieved and added a trace of grat.i.tude to Lin Wanwan in their hearts. They were also more certain now of her importance in Lu Zhanbei’s heart.

The CEO who never went back on his words actually took back what he said because of Lin Wanwan. He was really a wife slave!

“A Good Night’s Sleep” and “Good Luck Arrives” stopped screening at major cinemas at the same time. The box office sales went extremely well. Both of them broke the one-billion-yuan mark.

Although the latter achieved 200 million yuan of sales lesser than the former, the results were remarkable. Lin Qingxi proved herself with her capabilities and won a large number of fans.

Following this, the Silver Deer Movie Festival’s official Weibo account announced the shortlist.

As the box office sales were gratifying, Tan Zhiyue held a celebration party.

As everyone chatted happily, Fu Ya approached Lin Wanwan and asked, “I heard that you and Lin Qingxi were both shortlisted for the best actress award.”
