Chapter 175 Stand on Your Side
"What do you mean?" Shen Jinci asked back calmly.

Shen Zhaoli stood up and walked slowly to Shen Jinci. "You used to be aloof, but you are gentle and refined in nature. Compared with Li Siheng, you have more scholarly temperament, and you are completely different from the unscrupulous person you are now."

"More importantly, you have been trained as the heir of the Shen family since you were young. Until now, under the cultivation of the Shen family, you should definitely not be the person you are now who loves the country but not beauty."

Shen Zhaoli stood in front of Shen Jinci, he looked straight at Shen Jinci, gritted his teeth and said: "But I don't care who you are, Shen Jinci, I know you still can't completely trust me now, but for me, no matter who you are, I will stand by your side."

The murderous intent that had just arisen in Shen Jinci's heart gradually disappeared after hearing Shen Zhaoli's words.

He pulled the corner of his lips lightly and said coldly: "People will change. Now that you have eaten, you can go back."

After saying that, he ignored Shen Zhaoli and got up and left.

Meanwhile, at Galaxy Headquarters.

Zhuang Jie Ning had been waiting in the chairman's office for a long time. According to the time she and Lu Zhinian agreed on, the other party was already two hours late.

Zhuang Jie Ning is not a fool. She can see that Lu Zhinian is just trying to show off his power.

"Secretary Wang," she nervously looked at the silent assistant beside her and forced a smile, "When will my cousin arrive?"

"Mr. Lu had some urgent matters and was delayed temporarily. Miss Zhuang, don't worry, Mr. Lu will come." Secretary Wang's words were full of artistry and ambiguity, making people even more uneasy.

The smile on Zhuang Jie Ning's face became even more stiff. She bit her lower lip, trying to suppress the anger in her heart, and smiled silently, "Okay, I'll wait."

Finally, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Zhuang Jie Ning couldn't hide her excitement and looked over.

He was a man wearing a long black suit, with a very fair face, calm and composed, and his gestures showed the calmness of a mastermind. His facial features were not particularly delicate, but they were comfortable and attractive when put together, and his temperament was far better than his face. It was obvious that he was a tough guy who was difficult to deal with.

Lu Zhinian is now just over 30 years old. Unlike those young heirs, he has been immersed in the business world for many years and is one of the leading figures in the Beijing circle.

In terms of temperament and power, only Shen Jinci can be compared with him.

Zhuang Jie stood up and spoke nervously, "Cousin."

Lu Zhinian looked indifferent as he looked at Zhuang Jie Ning, "Are you my distant cousin?"

On the side, Secretary Wang had already left tactfully.

Zhuang Jie Ning showed a look of joy and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it's me, cousin, you must help me."

Lu Zhinian sat down on the sofa beside him, his tailor-made suit outlining his tall and superior figure.

He was silent for a moment, looking at Zhuang Jie Ning without any reservation. After a while, he looked away, smiled, and said mockingly, "Your grandfather was also a local tyrant and a legendary figure. How could he have a granddaughter like you?"

Zhuang Jie Ning's face seemed to be burning, but since she had to ask for help from others, she dared not show any dissatisfaction, and could only smile and say: "Mr. Lu, I am just a girl who grew up in the boudoir. Naturally, I can't compare with my grandfather in strategizing. But even so, I am still the daughter of the Zhuang family." Zhuang Jie Ning's meaning was very clear. No matter what, Lu Zhinian could not ignore her. After all, the Zhuang family had done the Lu family a favor.

"Zhuang Jie Ning, are you threatening me?" Lu Zhinian's voice was rough and deep, full of stories. It was in stark contrast to his appearance, but when combined with his appearance, there was an indescribable harmony.

At this moment, his voice was filled with a hint of oppression, which made Zhuang Jiening's face turn pale.

"Cousin, that's not what I meant. It's just that this time, Bian Yue deliberately didn't want to let me go! I just accidentally leaked the sample film of "The Beauty of the Golden Age", and she kept pestering me. She even relied on Shen Jinci to try to vent her anger on the Li family. I had no other choice but to come to you." When she said this, Zhuang Jie Ning showed an aggrieved expression.

Lu Zhinian looked at her coldly and chuckled, "You mean, you accidentally took the sample film from Huang Xin, and accidentally posted all the clips online, causing bad consequences? Do you think I'm a fool?"

Zhuang Jie Ning's heart tightened, knowing that this matter would not be so easy to get away with. She trembled and said, "Yes! I just hate Bian Yue and want to teach her a lesson. Now that things have turned out like this, I don't know how to end it! Cousin, the Zhuang family has done you a favor after all, so please help me settle this matter for the sake of my grandfather!"

Lu Zhinian remained calm, suppressed his smile, and looked at Zhuang Jie Ning who was fidgeting, "How do you want me to help you?"

Zhuang Jie Ning's face showed a fierce look, "As long as you completely cancel all cooperation with "The Beauty of the Golden Age" and claim that it was directed and acted by Bian Yue herself, causing huge losses to Xinghe, no matter whether it is true or not, no video platform will dare to use her Mi Tang's drama in the future!"

Lu Zhinian looked at Zhuang Jie Ning's vicious expression, and the next moment, he lowered his eyes, "I can't do that."

Zhuang Jie Ning panicked again. This time, she walked towards Lu Zhinian and knelt in front of him. "Cousin! Our Zhuang family has done you a favor! If you ignore me, are you going to repay kindness with enmity?"

Zhuang Jie Ning is a person who does things at all costs. For her own selfish reasons, she even uses the many years of kindness of the Zhuang and Lu families as bargaining chips.

Lu Zhinian has always been polite and unfriendly to vicious women.

But as Zhuang Jie Ning said, he still has to consider the Zhuang family's face.

"You want me to help you, there is only one way."

Zhuang Jie Ning opened her eyes wide and looked at Lu Zhinian eagerly, "Cousin, whatever you say, I will listen to you."

"I will invite Bian Yue to have dinner with you. At the dinner table, I will help you and ask Bian Yue for forgiveness. Bian Yue may let the Li family and you go for my sake."

After Lu Zhinian finished speaking, Zhuang Jie Ning had completely collapsed.

She looked at Lu Zhinian in disbelief, very confused, "Why? Why did you do this? You are the head of the Lu family! What right do you have to apologize to Bian Yue?"

"It's you, apologize to Bian Yue."

Lu Zhinian looked at Zhuang Jie Ning who was kneeling at his feet, his eyes full of indifference, "Zhuang Jie Ning, I am a businessman, not a philanthropist. I can't let my business go bankrupt just because of you. For the sake of your grandfather, I can help you set up the event. Think it through."

Zhuang Jie's heart sank to the bottom of a valley. She lowered her head and clenched her fists, full of resentment.
In the afternoon, Bian Yue was dealing with online public opinion at Mitang, and everything was moving in a good direction.

Nearing evening, Bian Yue received a call from Secretary Wang, Xinghe's general assistant, who invited her to have dinner with Lu Zhinian at the Hong Kong Hotel.
