Chapter 39: Sneak Peek

In an instant, the meeting room was so quiet that even a pin dropped on the floor could be heard.

Not only the conference room, but also the director's team outside the camera at this moment were all frozen in their tracks.

It took a few seconds for Sheng Mingzhi to realise what Lu Jiayan was talking about.

He almost thought he had heard wrong.

?

?????

Dog Man.

Is this also an interview question for you at Sheng Jia?

Very good.

I really did underestimate your cheekiness.

Just as everyone was looking at each other, not daring to breathe out, and wondering about life in general.

Sheng Mingzhi hesitates for a moment.

Opening.

"I'm sorry."

It was as if he had finally come to his senses and when he spoke again, that second of hesitation was gone.

Becoming calm and collected, he said with a straight face, "I'm married."

......

......

A surprising answer - a surprising rejection for Lu Jiayan.

Adding to the shock of all.

Lu Jiayan paused, slowly and deliberately: "It's okay. I don't mind."

Sheng Mingzhi: ......

Fuck you.

He gritted his teeth and smiled faintly, "I mind."

If anything, Lu Jiayan's invitation to dinner had the crowd in stitches.

Then Sheng Mingzhi's crisp refusal to do so sent them straight to the ground.

For a moment, the crowd didn't know whether to be incredulous that Lu Jiayan had invited Sheng Mingzhi to dinner, or that Sheng Mingzhi had refused.

So, there was a miraculous silence throughout the room and the director's team.

Until the assistant director silently raised his hand to break the eerie silence, "That ......"

He said weakly, "Director Cui, do you still mean what you just said about not cutting at all?"

Director Cui: ......

How the fuck is this going to be broadcast, and will Mami be banned by Sheng Jia's boss?

-

The stiff atmosphere in the meeting room did not disappear until Sheng Mingzhi's interview was over.

He resumes his seat and Xiao Jia is already dazed.

Just after sitting down, the other party spoke up, "Did you just ...... reject Lu Jiayan ?"

Oh.

So you know him as Lu Jiayan.

Sheng Mingzhi thought Xiao Jia, a dumb white girl, didn't know who Lu Jiayan was.

Xiao Jia murmured, "I can't believe you turned down Lu Jiayan ......"

Sheng Mingzhi was fed up with his chanting, "Is that strange?"

"Of course it's weird!" Xiao Jia was shocked: "That's Lu Jiayan!"

"So what." Sheng Mingzhi was baffled: "I'm still Sheng Mingzhi."

Xiao Jia: ......

What are you proud of, is Sheng Mingzhi some kind of big shot.

But it's Lu Jiayan!

Not only that, but the other guests who had witnessed everything had mixed feelings at the moment.

After the initial shock, there was only confusion and a gnawing sense of surprise.

Yu Jie stared at Sheng Mingzhi with almost flaming eyes.

His emotions were so overt that his agent warned, "Watch the camera."

Yu Jie was indignant: "How do you think his luck is so good?!"

Except for him, I guess everyone in the room thought so.

There are many good-looking women in the entertainment industry, but those like Sheng Mingzhi are rare. In fact, most of these beautiful girls who want to be popular will end up being adopted, depending on the kind of owner they meet.

The less fortunate ones run into the 50s and 60s.

With a little luck you might be able to stumble upon something high up.

It was good luck that we ran into Lu Jiayan.

Or one might call it, winning the lottery.

Yes, almost no one could have guessed Sheng Mingzhi's relationship with Lu Jiayan on the basis of Lu Jiayan's words alone.

Most people still lament Sheng Mingzhi's good fortune and the fact that he is blessed with a face.

You can see how important it is to look good.

Even Sheng Jia's boss has a problem with beauty.

The agent reassured, "What's the use of being lucky. Sheng Mingzhi is already married, what are you afraid of?"

Yu Jie: "I just can't stand him ......"

Can't stand to see him.

How could Lu Jiayan have fallen for Sheng Mingzhi and not for him, when it was obvious that he was the same type of looker?

"Okay." The agent whispered, "Lu Jiayan just asked on a whim, so don't get confused. Besides, there's no one else the boss wants, so he's not really interested in this straw man."

These words have pacified Yu Jie.

"Just as well." He grunted, " Sheng Mingzhi had rejected him in front of so many people, and with Lu Jiayan's character he wouldn't have continued to pester."

But I'm still angry, where did Sheng Mingzhi get the courage to refuse Sheng Jia's boss?

Shit, is this what it means to be in bliss?

The unwanted bully can be donated to someone else thanks.

"Good for you to know." The agent patted him on the shoulder: "And Lu Jiayan is married too. His lover is the young master of MingChen. He grew up with a lot of stars, do you think he's a good person to mess with?"

Yu Jie nods.

That's right.

Even if you want to climb up the Lu Jiayan ladder, you have to see if you have the life.

Even he, an outsider, has heard of the young master MingChen's arrogant and domineering ways.

If Sheng Mingzhi had dared to go for Lu Jiayan, he would not have been afraid that the other side of the palace would have killed him.

However, Sheng Mingzhi seems to have a rather arrogant personality too?

Yu Jie pushes down an inexplicable sense of oddity in his mind.

-

At 5pm, the interview material for the first day was officially recorded.

The director's team had a few poor shots to make up, so it dragged on for another hour.

The evening also involved recording the vegetarian guests having dinner with the celebrity guests.

After Lu Jiayan's invitation to Sheng Mingzhi during the daytime interview, the crowd looked at Sheng Mingzhi a little differently when they met again.

There is curiosity and a desire to pull it all together.

People who work in the entertainment industry are particularly good at seeing what's in store for them.

At the end of the day, the crowd remembered Yu Jie's conflict with Sheng Mingzhi and inevitably left Yu Jie alone, and all went off to fawn over Sheng Mingzhi.

Yu Jie said in a cold voice, "You are not afraid that others will look down on you after climbing up the ladder. Didn't you hear that Mr. Lu has asked someone to dinner tonight?"

A few of the guests heard that they were being shaded and could still tolerate it?

You, Yu Jie, are not always playing the snake and hugging the thief!

And so the fire returned with a grimace.

"Not really. It's not like Mr. Sheng to stick his peers in the back twice like someone would."

"I can see Little Sheng is not that kind of person."

" How could Mr. Sheng's character be the kind of person who worships the high and the low."

"Yes. Mr. Sheng isn't the kind of guy who would pigeonhole a shoot for a date."

......

So the next moment, Sheng Mingzhi came out of the break room.

The crowd hadn't had a chance to come forward and say hello.

Little Mr. Sheng has shown that I am the kind of person Yu Jie is talking about.

And I'm not looking down on anyone in particular, I'm simply looking down on everyone in this room.

Him: "I'm not going to the party tonight."

Crowd: ......

Sheng Mingzhi was puzzled by the look: ?

Did he just say something strange?

He had turned down a party for the evening, not a date for all of them, right?

-

The first night of I'm an Intern's show get-together is not compulsory.

Apart from Sheng Mingzhi who didn't show up, two other vegetarian university students didn't show up either because they had to rush back to their evening study sessions.

However, a cameraman will still be assigned to follow the crowd as they will be filming footage of them returning home.

This was done in advance of the greeting.

The cameraman who followed Sheng Mingzhi was camera four.

After the crowd had left, Sheng Mingzhi returned to the meeting room.

The cameraman follows close behind, and at dusk, Sheng Mingzhi is alone in the conference room, along with a laptop prepared for him.

Sheng Jia's first day's work placement has been emailed to all guests.

Sheng Mingzhi was free, so he turned on his computer and slowly browsed through tomorrow's work, making some preparations in the meantime.

The cameraman was quick to record this as footage.

He was a little surprised to learn that Sheng Mingzhi had not gone to dinner with the group because of Lu Jiayan.

After all, all the staff present saw that scene in the afternoon.

It's not that I'm looking down on people, it's not unusual for small actors in the entertainment industry to be taken in by their rich daddy, but I was shocked because I didn't expect Lu Jiayan to be so reckless in bringing such things to the forefront.

Should I say that he deserves to be the boss of Sheng Jia.

The cameraman also took it for granted that Sheng Mingzhi's refusal was a welcome one.

By the end of the day, when we saw that he had indeed turned down the programme's get-together, we knew that other arrangements were to follow.

But to my surprise, Sheng Mingzhi just stayed and studied.

In a quiet meeting room.

Mr. Sheng Jr. alone is carefully preparing the content of his work.

What a harmonious and loving scene of hard work and progress.

The camera man thought to himself, "I think I misunderstood Mr. Sheng.

Isn't this a pretty motivated kid!

The very next second he thought this, the door to the conference room was opened.

The camera master subconsciously turned his head and saw a man standing in the doorway.

......

......

Isn't this still Lu Jiayan!!!

Give me back my touches!!!

When the cameraman got a good look at the visitor, his hand shook and he almost lost his grip on the camera.

Lu Jiayan, obviously not expecting there to be a third person in the room besides Sheng Mingzhi, raised an eyebrow and simply leaned bonelessly against the door frame.

Sheng Mingzhi glanced at him and then at the camera master.

Videographer: ......

So, am I, like, shooting, or, like, not shooting?

A large man of a little over 5'8".

Shivering at this point.

After a long time, Lu Jiayan broke the silence with a soft laugh: "Little Mr. Sheng, why didn't you tell me there was a third person?"

Before Sheng Mingzhi could reply, he spoke thoughtfully, "Yes, too. It's a bit more exciting."

Sheng Mingzhi: ......

Don't talk as if they were doing something unseemly in the boardroom.

Brother, wake up!

Don't play the cheating Py will you!

The camera man is going to be scared to death of you!!!

Sheng Mingzhi breathlessly explains, "Think normal, this is a follow up camera."

"Yeah." Lu Jiayan responded, not seeming to mind the cameras following him, smiling, "Although I can understand you cherishing every date with me."

Sheng Mingzhi :?

Lu Jiayan laughs: "But it's not so much that we're specifically looking for someone to follow us."

......

......

Sheng Mingzhi doesn't bother with this old man with a peacock on his back.

He turned his head to look at the cameraman and asked, "How long did the crew ask you to record the material?"

The camera master's mind had gone blank.

Not to mention the fact that the programme requested to be recorded, even if he had filmed it today, it might not have been broadcast!

"Just, until you go to sleep at night."

And again, without waiting for Sheng Mingzhi to answer.

Lu Jiayan then said, "It's not impossible to shoot after you've fallen asleep."

Camera Master: !!!

I dare not I really dare not ！！！！！

And even if I dare to shoot.

Do you dare to broadcast it.

Sheng Mingzhi's face is faintly warm.

He cursed the old perverted man, but ignored Lu Jiayan's joke and said calmly, "Whatever you say."

During the afternoon interview, Sheng Mingzhi declined Lu Jiayan's invitation to dinner in front of everyone, but neither of them took the rejection seriously.

Sheng Mingzhi doesn't like to go out to dinner with people, so by default he eats with Lu Jiayan in the evenings.

Sheng Mingzhi is slightly stunned at the thought.

Since when does he eat dinner with Lu Jiayan by default?

A few months ago, Sheng Mingzhi was still slating Lu Jiayan as a workaholic.

Not to mention having a meal with him, even giving him a call when you have time is amazing.

Now, however, the two are seeing more and more of each other, and the number of times they are together is gradually increasing.

He would even put off work to make time for dinner with him.

It's like, it's becoming closer and closer to a normal married couple.

Although, they would have been legally married to each other.

But it's just that, oddly, Lu Jiayan is in a rather perverse state.

Sheng Mingzhi's heart is racing a little at the thought.

Lu Jiayan booked a private restaurant and chose French Western cuisine according to Sheng Mingzhi's tastes.

The address is located in a detached public house behind the YunJing Global Harbor, and for the first time in over 30 years of life, the cameraman knows of such a quiet place in downtown YunJing.

Follow the camera into the restaurant.

This small bridge, this cloud of smoke, this service attitude, this elegant style, this looks like a place he can't afford to come to even after spending a year's salary!

So angry, is this the world of the rich!!!

As the person who came was Lu Jiayan, the waiter did not make a sound even when he saw the camera master.

Otherwise, photography is generally not allowed in such intimate restaurants.

The camera operator was oblivious to the fact that he was being opened to the back door.

He also lamented in his heart that no wonder those paparazzi couldn't get a picture of the celebrities getting it on, it's a hell of a thing to get a date in a place like this!

Sheng Mingzhi was quite interested in this new French restaurant and mentioned it at home before, but Lu Jiayan took note of it.

The table had already been carefully decorated, but Sheng Mingzhi was a bit overwhelmed by the two candles.

And get this candlelit dinner.

It's almost earthy.

It must have been the brainchild of Lu Jiayan, an old man, to think on his toes.

Where on earth did he learn all this corny flirting!

But, in your heart of hearts, you can still spit it out.

Sheng Mingzhi hesitated, but took out his mobile phone and prepared to take a couple of pictures quietly.

He would have wanted to shoot fair and square.

But when I think of Lu Jiayan's teasing an hour ago - "I understand that you cherish every date with me, but you don't have to have someone follow you around."

Sheng Mingzhi If the photo is taken now, doesn't that mean he's quite happy with the date?

Damn, he can't be pleased with himself.

Maybe the other person will even say, "Is Mr. Sheng so fond of it that you can't resist taking a picture of it?"

Even the tone of his voice, which hid a smile and hung back, could be brainstormed.

......

......

It's the kind of thing Lu Jiayan, a shameless dog of a man, could say.

And, I have to admit, Lu Jiayan's face is really impressive when viewed from this angle from Sheng Mingzhi.

The other man was wearing a black trench coat today, which had been taken away and ironed by the waiter upon arrival at the restaurant, and at the moment was wearing a black jumper with a high collar, which set off the man's pale, handsome skin, the dim candlelight pulsating, making the light and shadows sway on the bridge of his nose, his eyelashes casting a shadow, as demonic as a thousand-year-old fox becoming a spirit.

How he.

I haven't grown up since I was a kid.

And it's getting better looking.

Sheng Mingzhi remembered when he agreed to the marriage on a whim and was not deceived by the dog man's extremely deceptive face!!!

He hesitates for a moment, then turns on his phone and takes a picture of Lu Jiayan while he is not looking.

God knows what.

Then the next second.

Flashbulbs exploded right between the two.

Lu Jiayan seems to have had his eyes flashed.

There was a slight flicker, and the peachy eyes looked over with a half-smile.

......

......

The air was as silent as death.

Honestly, it's better to be dead.

If we were to give Sheng Mingzhi a social death scene in life, we would have to divide it into two, three and four.

That sneak peek of Lu Jiayan, who ended up forgetting to turn off the flash, had to be a strong squeeze into the top three.

For a while, Sheng Mingzhi couldn't even tell whether the white light from the atomic bomb blast was more blinding.

Or is it the white light from the Apple phone that shines more when you take a picture.

--simply let the atomic bomb explode over his head.

Perish the thought, this life will pass quickly anyway.

Sheng Mingzhi is actually embarrassed and now wants to jump straight off the twenty-fourth floor, but all he can do is remain as steady as a mountain and put his phone down with a blank face.

Lu Jiayan seemed to realise something and looked at him with a little more playfulness in his eyes.

Half-heartedly, his tone hid a smile and he spoke indebtedly, "Won't you explain?"

Sheng Mingzhi: ......

"Oh." Sheng Mingzhi spoke stiffly, "Taking a picture. I forgot to turn off the flash."

"Hmm?" Lu Jiayan raised an eyebrow, "Shoot me?"

"Overthink it!" Sheng Mingzhi immediately retorted, "I was shooting - shooting like Big Brother."

The camera operator who was silently recording the footage: ????

I'm not I'm not you don't talk nonsense!!!

"Yeah." Lu Jiayan was slow and deliberate: "Bring me the phone, let me see."

Sheng Mingzhi: ......

"Why should I give it to you. Looking at someone's phone is an invasion of privacy, got it."

"Is that so." Lu Jiayan blandly: "It's also an invasion of privacy to take someone's picture secretly. I have the right to check if you have violated my-"

He paused, his tone flirtatious, "This virtuous womanizer."

Sheng Mingzhi: ......

Don't say it as if he has done something ten times worse.

He turned his head once.

I saw the cameraman's face with a mixed expression of wanting to say something, wanting to say something, being afraid to say something and so on.

Sheng Mingzhi suddenly remembered that in the eyes of the camera master.

He is, presumably, a ...... eighteenth-tier beauty batter who Lu Jiayan has taken a shine to and is interested in adopting?

Lu Jiayan probably noticed the look on the camera master's face and, somehow, suddenly let him go and stopped obsessively checking his phone album.

Like remembering some new setting.

It gives Sheng Mingzhi a bad feeling.

Can this dog man let him off so easily?

As expected, little Mr. Sheng's instincts were not wrong.

The next moment, Lu Jiayan puts down his knife and fork and props his chin up with his left hand, his posture lazy, his peach blossom eyes impish, like a male vixen who seduces people.

He spoke in an ambiguous, drawn-out tone.

"But."

"Little Mr. Sheng, sneaking out on a date with me, your husband won't be mad if he finds out, will he?"
