Chapter 41: Catching an adulterer

Sheng Mingzhi feels that there is nothing wrong with people in the former secondary school calling Lu Jiayan a "fox spirit".

He was so dazed by the "baby" that his brain crashed, and then somehow ended up half lying on the desk in the study.

When he woke up in bed the next morning, Sheng Mingzhi hadn't even recovered from last night's wild affair. The next morning, Sheng Mingzhi woke up in bed.

He sat up from under the covers with a messy cocktail of hair, his mind went blank for three seconds and then it was like he remembered something, his fox eyes going from confused to awake without overdoing it.

Sheng Mingzhi instantly lifted the covers and jumped out of bed.

Then rightfully the whole thing went weak in the legs and almost fell to his knees.

Luckily, Lu Jiayan came in just in time and scooped him up straight away.

A condemnatory look was given to him in passing.

"So energetic early in the morning?"

The subtext is close to saying, why not continue to spend time in bed?

Perhaps he picked up on Lu Jiayan's hint.

Sheng Mingzhi feels a vague pain in his back.

...... can't.

Are dog men without moderation.

Lu Jiayan raises an eyebrow.

Sheng Mingzhi finally said nervously at the other man's almost questioning look, "I'll go to the study to get the camera."

Last night, Lu Jiayan had coaxed me into forgetting that there was a camera in the study.

Fortunately, the mini-camera issued by the programme team is not connected to the internet and only has a recording function.

But it's enough to break the lower line.

Sheng Mingzhi isn't shameless enough to leave something like that on camera!

With that, he was about to get out of bed again.

Lu Jiayan pressed him back into bed.

Slowly, "I turned it off last night."

Sheng Mingzhi froze, subconsciously: "I thought you said it was open?"

Holy shit.

Then why did you scare me when you were at that ...... thing?

Sheng Mingzhi remembered vividly that he had asked Lu Jiayan about this last night, before his sanity had snapped, when he was in the throes of love.

The other side of this old immodest male vixen said with a straight face that it wasn't off and that it was going to be recorded like this ......

Just recalling the clip makes Sheng Mingzhi feel hot in the face.

It's outrageous that he would listen to such nonsense from Lu Jiayan, knowing that he was a vicious, svelte scum.

"Oh-" Lu Jiayan inexplicably trailed off, sounding indebted, idly, "You also know you can't trust a man's word in bed."

Sheng Mingzhi: ......

I thank you.

Lu Jiayan seemed to be afraid that he wouldn't believe him, and in order to reassure Sheng Mingzhi, he brought the camera over to show him.

As Lu Jiayan said, the camera only recorded the part where Lu Jiayan came in and was switched off the moment he finished organising the files.

It seems the other side had already planned what they were going to do next.

Sheng Mingzhi pretends to watch indifferently, trying to forget what happens later.

But the slight discomfort coming from his body kept reminding him of last night's drip.

Lu Jiayan whispered, "Does it still hurt?"

...... doesn't really hurt that much.

Sheng Mingzhi doesn't think he's that pretentious yet.

Only the words suddenly change on the lips.

"...... a bit."

"Where?"

"My back hurts." Sheng Mingzhi muttered.

Lu Jiayan lifts him up, one arm half around him, one hand gently rubbing at his waist.

On the bedside table is freshly made seafood congee, with a rich and familiar aroma and smell that you can tell Lu Jiayan has made it himself.

And look at how thick and complex the seafood porridge is.

It can't be done without forty minutes.

Sheng Mingzhi looked at it and got a bit odd inside.

Lu Jiayan Is ...... too good for him these days?

Is this also pretending to be a plastic fufu? No one is watching, so what's the point of acting so well.

There's no point in putting on a show for him.

-

The recording of The Internship began at 9.30am and Sheng Mingzhi was still puzzled by Lu Jiayan's recent uncharacteristic display of affection, distracted and out of sorts.

Little Wang has been busy with the newcomers for the past two days, running off to some ravine to work with the crew, leaving Wenwen at Sheng Mingzhi's side, and he doesn't dare to talk too much.

It was only on the eve of the recording that Sheng Mingzhi, who had been fuming all morning, suddenly spoke up.

"You said."

Wenwen's ears immediately perked up and she nodded like a puppy.

As if he had finally found the value of his existence, he hurriedly said, "Brother, I'm listening!"

Sheng Mingzhi gave him a faint look and continued, "I have a friend."

Wenwen: ......

Is this friend of yours yourself?

The next second, Sheng Mingzhi: "Don't think too much. It's not me personally."

"Oh." I believe the hell out of you.

Sheng Mingzhi: "It's that he's married. But there is no affection between the couple."

Wenwen wondered, "How can you get married without a relationship?"

"Why do you care so much." Sheng Mingzhi: "Think of it as a marriage by agreement."

"Oh!" Wenwen came to her senses, "I see! Brother, go on."

"Hmm. Three years after the agreement to get married, neither of them had any contact and they still weren't affectionate. Then one day his husband was suddenly very nice to him, why do you think that is?"

Wenwen thought for a moment, "...... Marriage before love?"

Sheng Mingzhi paused: "What is marriage before love?"

Wenwen is very experienced: "It's the kind of thing where you don't have feelings before you get married, and then you slowly get feelings after you get married. Brother, haven't you read any novels? It's all written in novels."

While saying this, he was sharing his own collection with Sheng Mingzhi.

The wife of a thin-hearted president", "The sweet wife of a flash marriage: the dark president's honey", "The contract of a famous family: the substitute wife of a cold young man", "Strong marriage, the ex-wife is too difficult to chase", "Three babies in one child: the president's daddy is super powerful".

......

Sheng Mingzhi: ......

Wenwen is still not finished: "It's quite good, the thin-hearted president's next wife I've caught up to more than 7,000 chapters ......"

Probably by Wenwen's retarded spirit.

In between recording the variety show, Sheng Mingzhi actually opened a copy of "Three Babies in One: The President's Daddy is Super Powerful" to pass the time.

After the heroine is falsely accused, jailed, released from prison, her family's fortune falls to pieces, then she goes to a desk, is humiliated by the hero, humiliated by the female partner, humiliated by the hero's family, after which she is drawn blood, given anesthesia, has her liver ripped out, gets a terminal illness, has a car accident, loses her memory, changes her face, studies abroad, has three babies in one, is gorgeously transformed, etc.

Sheng Mingzhi Suddenly felt.

In fact, Lu Jiayan has done a pretty good job as president.

Even he felt a vague pain in his liver after reading it, okay?

What's even more outrageous is that he got so carried away that he spent a whole hundred bucks on WeChat to watch the damn thing?

In the spirit of paying for good things to be poisoned for all together.

Sheng Mingzhi read it and then shared it with Shen Ling.

In return, the other side laughed "hahahahahahahahahaha".

and: [Sis stopped reading romance 800 years ago].

The story is about a man who was born again and married to a wealthy family boss, a school bully and a schoolmaster, and a man dressed as a villain.

......

Sheng Mingzhi is too lazy to click on Shen Ling's share.

He exited the chat screen and suddenly realized that he had just slipped and accidentally sent Lu Jiayan the one child, three babies article.

Did not have time to withdraw.

Lu Jiayan replied: [Not bad.

Him: [Doing his best.

Sheng Mingzhi was stunned.

Then the eyes slowly dropped to the title of the TXT.

I, Fetus, III and Treasure.

Sheng Mingzhi: ......

Do your best for the hell of it!!!

With Lu Jiayan's interruption, Sheng Mingzhi's odd mood of the morning disappeared.

He's just sick in the head to think Lu Jiayan is being nice to him.

This toxic dog man will die if he doesn't find a way to piss him off a few times a day.

How could he have any illusions about such people?

Heh.

Even if the sky were to fall their cheap plastic marriage would not change.

-

Today's recording went relatively smoothly - after all, Sheng Mingzhi's identity is semi-public within Sheng Jia.

The senior management basically knew that the second youngest had come to the company to record the show, so the greetings went down in layers, making his recording go fairly smoothly.

Not to mention the directing team.

When the cameraman went back that day, he didn't have the guts to tell the director the truth because of Lu Jiayan's status, but he did hint a little to the programme team. The director had been in the entertainment industry for so many years that he was like a human being, and on the day of the interview, he felt that Sheng Jia's boss seemed to have a different opinion of Sheng Mingzhi, a bogeyman.

Naturally, they don't dare to offend their golden daddy and put Sheng Mingzhi in his shoes again.

The only thing that didn't go well in the recording was Yu Jie.

The shot that should have been given to him was split in half to Sheng Mingzhi for no apparent reason.

Anyone else would be offended.

And he also had a bit of a verbal argument with Sheng Mingzhi during the recording this afternoon.

Since they are interns, they basically start as assistants when they first enter the workplace.

Yu Jie originally wanted to show off her hard work, but after a few trips to buy coffee, she was drenched in sweat.

Turning back to Sheng Mingzhi sitting lazily in his office with the heater on and going over the financials with his analysts, he completely quit.

"Stop for a moment."

Yu Jie raises his hand.

The cameramen and assistants in charge of recording their group stopped.

Yu Jie said, "Director. Can I ask a question? Why are the trainee assistants in both our groups helping with filing and buying coffee, when certain people can sit in the office and enjoy themselves?"

"Some people" looked at him slowly.

Director Cui noticed what was going on over here and asked Planning to ask.

" Mr. Yu, what's going on? Why did you stop recording all of a sudden?"

Although they said they wouldn't record, Director Cui had them turn on the camera anyway.

After all, conflicts between guests are one of the highlights of the variety show, and he couldn't miss such good material!

Yu Jie said coldly, "It's not that we don't record or cooperate with everyone. It's just that I want to know how we assign this job, and why some people can be directly involved in the analysis of financial reports as soon as they come in? Isn't that a back door? I'm not saying I can't take this either, it's just that seniors like me are running errands, so how come some people can't take it?"

The curator was not too slow: "Here's the thing, Mr. Yu. The placement was not decided by the programme team, but by the results of the interview. Mr. Yu, you haven't been exposed to finance in college, so there is an overload, and after the training you will be able to participate in functional training."

Interview results distribution?

Yu Jie grunted coldly, reminiscent of the way Sheng Jia's boss had looked at Sheng Mingzhi at the interview.

The hatred in his heart was even more intense.

It's almost as if Sheng Mingzhi is a punk who got an easy job through the back door.

"Fine. I don't have a problem with running errands." Yu Jie continued with a cold face, "I'm fine with Xiao Jia and the others reading the earnings report in the office."

Xiao Jia They are the vegetarian college students who auditioned for the job.

Basically, they are all finance majors, which makes sense to say the least.

The only thing that stands out is Sheng Mingzhi.

A YunJing University of the Arts graduate - even one whose qualifications are still falsified - is involved in official work in a dignified manner.

Is it reasonable?

"I just don't know how Mr. Sheng can sit in the office." Yu Jie said sarcastically, "I remember Mr. Sheng graduated from YunJing Yea University, right? Does Yea University still teach finance?"

As soon as they spoke, the fireworks were in full swing.

Sheng Mingzhi tilted his head at him and said slowly, "I remember that the guest's CV is confidential, where did you know I graduated from the University of Arts?"

Caught off guard.

Sheng Mingzhi's question was so tricky that Yu Jie was instantly choked up.

It is true that he had not read Sheng Mingzhi's CV.

But his agent, Little Wang, says it all, so how can it be true?

"You don't have to care where I know that from. Anyway, I can't understand how you can read financial reports in the office. If everyone is as lazy and takes shortcuts as you are, what's the dedication of those who came before you?"

"Oh." Sheng Mingzhi didn't retort, but instead said smoothly, "It's fine if you want to see it. I'm totally fine with it, just can you read it?"

Yu Jie: ......

Sheng Mingzhi's words are thick with sarcasm.

Yu Jie was rendered speechless and unable to refute.

"You!" Yu Jie blurted out, "I can't read it, but you can?"

"Or what." Sheng Mingzhi was simply baffled: "Am I supposed to stare at the earnings report and make a wish here."

Director Cui saw that enough material had been recorded for the rip-off.

A mediator was hastily called in to hand both sides a step down.

Recording paused.

Yu Jie still grinds his teeth when he thinks about it and wants to go straight up and fight Sheng Mingzhi.

The agent soothed: "Why are you arguing with him. But it doesn't matter, it's just the right time to give the show material. He took half of your footage this morning, which is pathetic, so it's okay to create a little heat by tearing into him. When the time comes, I'll just arrange for a water force to bring the rhythm and splash him with dirty water."

Yu Jie, having regained some sense, remembered Sheng Mingzhi's performance and hesitantly said, "Are you sure Sheng Mingzhi himself said he was a graduate of Yida?"

Agent: "That's not true. I've seen the CV Wang Yifei wrote for him, it's absolutely right."

Yu Jie sighed in relief, "That's good. When the first preview airs tomorrow, we'll just buy the hot topic of his academic forgery."

Sheng Mingzhi and Yu Jie had a bit of a conflict in the morning, and the directing team arranged for them to be recorded separately in the afternoon.

So the afternoon went very smoothly, with only one hiccup: the young deputy head of Sheng Jia's finance department is a university friend of Sheng Mingzhi's, Xu You.

At first, when I saw Sheng Mingzhi, I didn't recognize it.

I had the courage to confirm this after going to HRD and reading Sheng Mingzhi's CV.

So, the afternoon ended with the recording.

Xu You found the time to pretend to run into Sheng Mingzhi at the door.

Wenwen thought he was a fan of Sheng Mingzhi and made a point of saying, "Sorry. It's company policy that artists can't give group photos and autographs."

Instead, Xu You looked directly at Sheng Mingzhi and smiled: "Do you remember me? We were in the same class at university, I'm Xu You, does that ring a bell?"

Sheng Mingzhi was reminded of this by Xu You, and seemed to remember a little.

But his memories of his university are so vague that he remembers going back to school quite rarely since his sophomore year when he started filming himself.

Sheng Mingzhi is still quite polite in the face of his former university classmates.

There was just a hint of detachment in his tone, "A little."

Xu You said, "It's okay. You must not remember. Haha, it's okay if you don't remember, I didn't dare to recognize you when I saw you yesterday. You've become even more handsome than when you were in college!"

This flattering remark hit home with Sheng Mingzhi, who was in a bad mood today after being upset by Yu Jie.

Sheng Mingzhi instantly drew on his good opinion of Xu You, after all he couldn't give a cold face to someone with such a good eye.

Xu You lifted his chin, "Are you still recording tonight?"

Although he didn't know him well, Sheng Mingzhi condescended to answer, "No," for the sake of his two ass-kissing remarks.

"Oh." Xu You said, "I think it's just about time for dinner, why don't we have a meal together?"

Sheng Mingzhi was about to refuse when Xu You spoke again, "I read your market an.aryze, the angle of analysis is quite new, but the judgement seems a bit biased, I think it can be improved."

At this point, Sheng Mingzhi became a little more interested.

Although this internship is optional, he is an artist guest and recording is more important for variety effects than to actually join Sheng Jia.

But with Yu Jie as the annoying one.

Sheng Mingzhi's competitive spirit was instantly aroused and he was determined to overpower him in his career no matter what.

So I was happy to accept Xu You's invitation to dinner.

Just downstairs in a Chinese restaurant.

Xu You, as he put it, said that the topic of conversation revolved around the report handed in by Sheng Mingzhi.

As expected of someone so young to be Sheng Jia's deputy head of finance, Sheng Mingzhi has gained a lot from talking to him.

I was so engrossed in the conversation that I didn't even get a call from Lu Jiayan.

Halfway through the meal, Sheng Mingzhi saw two WeChat messages from Lu Jiayan.

[Dinner together?

[Where is it?

Xu You stopped spouting his views and saw that Sheng Mingzhi's face looked a bit off and said, "What's wrong?"

Sheng Mingzhi stared at the chat log, "Not much."

He put the phone down.

I thought to myself, "I just didn't get the message, I didn't mean to stand Lu Jiayan up.

And he didn't know that he was going to have dinner with Lu Jiayan this evening.

...... Besides, they have this plastic relationship, how can they have dinner together every day, didn't they just have it yesterday?

But it is.

Inexplicably faint-hearted.

With a brain fart, he told a harmless lie: [Recording the show].

To enhance credibility, it also added: [There's a lot of material to record today, so I may have to finish late (poor soy beans)]

Sheng Mingzhi hesitates for a second.

Lu Jiayan is supposed to be working overtime, so I don't think he'd care about something as trivial as recording a show.

After the reply, Sheng Mingzhi became distracted.

Even Xu You can see it.

"Is there something wrong?" Xu You said thoughtfully, "I've just seen you looking at your phone and you've been distracted, it's not a message from your girlfriend, is it?"

The tone is somewhat tentative.

After a long time, Sheng Mingzhi said, "Excuse me. Can we stop here for today, next time it's on me."

Xu You froze for a moment and hurriedly said, "It's fine, it's fine. If you're busy, I'm fine. You'll be recording for a few days anyway, so we'll see you next time."

After saying that, he handed out his phone, "Add a wechat?"

Sheng Mingzhi was in a hurry to get back to Sheng Jia, so he didn't even have time to reject Xu You's WeChat.

Simply add it as soon as you scan the code.

Sheng Mingzhi stood up and walked out of the restaurant, somehow having a very strong feeling that he would see Lu Jiayan.

The next second this premonition came true.

Sheng Jia is so big, and there are quite a few restaurants downstairs.

But Lu Jiayan was right at the door of the restaurant where he was eating.

Leaning against the front of his Bentley, he wore a black lapel tweed coat that set off his tall, slender figure.

Just look at him in a nonchalant way.

The gaze is cool.

Woe to the man who came out in such a hurry that he didn't even take his coat from the chair.

Just as he was standing, Xu You came out with his clothes and raised his voice, "Hey Mingzhi, don't forget your clothes!"

Xu You took a few steps and followed Sheng Mingzhi's line of sight to Lu Jiayan.

His face instantly changed, about how he didn't expect to meet the big boss here, and respectfully said, "General Lu."

How did the owner of ...... get here?!

Lu Jiayan looked up at Sheng Mingzhi and broke the silence with a light tone, "I thought you were recording a show."

Him: "Or am I so old that I'm old and dizzy that I see you here having dinner with another man?"

The words "other men" are also highlighted.

Sheng Mingzhi: ......

Silently, "I think I can still explain."

"You say." Lu Jiayan looked at him lazily, only the smile had narrowed in his peach blossom eyes: "I'll listen to how you slyly argue."
