Chapter 176 There is no peace
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.

I still remember that the last time I went to Xinghe, the other party only sent Huang Xin to receive me.

This time, it was contrary to the norm and even the chairman was alarmed.

Bian Yue had heard a little about Lu Zhinian, a tycoon in the Beijing circle, a businessman, and his whereabouts were a mystery.

Lu Zhinian personally invited Bian Yue to this dinner. No matter what the reason was, as a lower-level partner, there was no reason for Bian Yue not to go.

Therefore, Bian Yue readily agreed to Secretary Wang's request on the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Bian Yue sent a message to Shen Jinci to express her apology for breaking the appointment that evening.

Shen Jinci didn't ask anything, but just reminded her to remember to send him a message when it was almost over.

After finishing the explanation, Bian Yue returned to her busy work.

Wen Jiao has been in the company all this time, working day and night to supervise Monkie and Asi, who had just returned from a variety show, and urging them to study their acting lessons well.

Bian Yue looked at her serious expression and asked her curiously why she suddenly became so ambitious.
Wen Jiao was very emotional and said, "After all, this is the only place where I can avoid being chased by Wei Shuqian."

Bian Yue knew that Wen Jiao and Wei Shuqian's wedding date was approaching.

Just looking at Wen Jiao's bored look, Bian Yue couldn't help wondering: "If you are so reluctant, why do you want to marry Wei Shuqian?"

"I'm not unwilling."

"what is that?"

Wen Jiao opened her mouth, then closed it again. Her shoulders slumped and she whispered, "I don't know how to explain this to you, Bian Yue. Humans are really too complicated."

Of course it's complicated.

Bian Yue leaned on Wen Jiao's shoulder, sighed, and patted her head. "Don't be sad, Miss Wen, and continue working!"

Wen Jiao also smiled, nodded in approval, and said, "I have to go to the acting class review tonight, so I have to finish all the work in the afternoon."

Bian Yue still remembers that when Wang Dan'an handed Monkie and Asi to her, Wen Jiao was very interested in Monkie.

Bian Yue asked curiously, "You really care about Monk's affairs. Wen Jiao, are you paying attention to him?"

Wen Jiao raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "I just think he looks a bit like someone."

"Who?"

This time, Wen Jiao was silent for a long time before he said softly, "18-year-old Wei Shuqian."

That night, at the Hong Kong Hotel.

Bian Yue saw Secretary Wang at the hotel entrance. He was a calm and generous middle-aged man. His every move showed the stability that came from being in control of the overall situation.

He walked towards her and said with a smile, "Miss Bian, Mr. Lu is already waiting upstairs."

Bian Yue nodded and followed Secretary Wang towards the elevator.

When the two of them pushed the door open and walked in, Bian Yue saw not only Lu Zhinian, but also Zhuang Jie Ning. Lu Zhinian looked younger than Bian Yue had imagined.

If Bian Yue had not been accustomed to seeing stunning beauties, she would have been somewhat dazzled by Lu Zhinian's appearance.

But at this moment, Bian Yue was more concerned about Zhuang Jie Ning who was sitting next to her.

Zhuang Jie Ning's face was tense, and when she saw Bian Yue, she was also in the same unhappy mood.

Lu Zhinian spoke calmly, "Boss Bian, please sit anywhere you want. Don't be so reserved."

Bian Yue calmed down and sat down. "Mr. Lu, I've heard of your great name for a long time. I'm glad to meet you too."

Dishes were served one after another, but no one picked up their chopsticks.

Bian Yue smiled in the strange silence and said, "I didn't know Miss Zhuang was here beforehand. It was a surprise to see her."

How could Zhuang Jie Ning not hear the sting in Bian Yue's words, but she could only endure it, smiled, and said: "Bian Yue, I came here today mainly to apologize to you for the matter of "Sheng Shi Yan"."

After Zhuang Jie Ning finished speaking, Lu Zhinian slowly said, "Boss Bian, you are the victim in this matter. I know that Mi Tang has suffered a lot of losses in this matter. As your partner, I also sympathize with you. I am willing to advance the broadcast time of "The Beauty of the Golden Age"."

Bian Yue raised her eyebrows and looked at Lu Zhinian, "Can I understand that Mr. Lu has moved up the broadcast time of "The Beauty of the Golden Age" for Zhuang Jie Ning's sake?"

"Boss Bian should have heard that the Zhuang family and the Lu family have some personal relationship." Lu Zhinian confessed. He looked at Bian Yue calmly and said lightly: "I am willing to help Zhuang Jie Ning clean up this mess for the sake of the personal relationship between the two families."

Bian Yue saw a flash of pride across Zhuang Jie's eyes.

No matter if she does something wrong, there will always be someone to protect her.

Bian Yue's expression did not reveal any clues, and her smile even deepened. "Mr. Lu, you are really joking. I have already asked Zhuang Jie Ning before, and she said that this matter has nothing to do with her. I personally think that the Li family is fully responsible, so there is no question of you compensating her for the loss of honey."

Lu Zhinian was originally just going through the motions. After all, when it comes to business, everyone is a smart person and if they all take a step back, it will be over.

But this Bian Yue seemed to be really stubborn.

Lu Zhinian became more interested, but his expression did not show it. He looked at Bian Yue calmly and said, "So what do you want?"

"I don't want anything to happen. I just want to sort this matter out and make everyone who should pay the price pay the price."

Bian Yue's indifferent tone made Zhuang Jie Ning furious, "Bian Yue! Why are you pretending? You are just using me as a cover to make things difficult for the Li family. You don't even know your own worth. If you really break off relations with the Li family, what good do you think you will end up with!"

"Why are you so angry? You told me what happened back then, didn't you just want to see me and the Li family fall out? I have done what you wanted, what are you dissatisfied with?" Bian Yue's expression was cold, "Zhuang Jie Ning, it's useless to ask anyone for help! I will not let this go easily. This matter must have a satisfactory result for me, otherwise it will not end!"

Zhuang Jie Ning's scalp tingled. She stood up after being provoked by Bian Yue's words. Her breathing was fluctuating. She looked at Bian Yue awkwardly, biting her lips tightly. "Bian Yue, my cousin has already given you a way out personally. Are you planning to stop being in the circle in the future? You have offended my cousin, what good will it do you!"

Zhuang Jie Ning became more and more excited as she spoke, until Lu Zhinian knocked on the table to stop her, which brought her back to her senses and she sat down unwillingly.

Lu Zhinian looked at Bian Yue calmly, his eyes were deep and his voice was rich and magnetic, "Miss Bian, young people always pursue fairness and truth, but sometimes, a shortcut is more important than fairness."

"I'm really surprised that Mr. Lu can say this. I must have misjudged Mr. Lu," Bian Yue smiled and said calmly, "Does Mr. Lu think that he is just a spectator and can comment at will?"

There was a hint of interest in Lu Zhinian's eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "I can comment freely because I am standing higher than you."
