When he saw Fu Ci enter, Lu Xun was surprised.
“Shouldn’t you be at work?”
Fu Ci went to his bedside and pulled a chair over to sit down. “Weiwei fell down the stairs and is in the ward below.”
“Are you feeling better?”
He was shocked when he learned that his friend was in a car accident last night. He’d rushed over and heard from the doctor that his friend’s injury was quite frightening, but the damage was not serious. It was like a miracle; he was very lucky. Only then did he feel relieved.
Lu Xun nodded. “I’m much better. Is Fu Wei okay?”
He knew that the current state of his injury was due to the talisman tied around his neck by that person last night. Otherwise, according to the doctor, it would be very serious and it would take at least a year to recover from the operation. It could even leave major after-effects. Now, he only needed a few days of recuperation and then he could leave the hospital.
“Her leg is broken and she will have to rest for a while after the operation.”
Fu Ci couldn’t hold back and told Lu Xun what had happened today. With a sigh, he continued, “I really didn’t expect such mysterious things to exist in the world. I never believed in the Feng Shui of my grandfather’s old house or my own house.
Lu Xun looked up at him. “You said the person who gave you the talisman was Luo Ning, an artist under the company?”
“Yes. She became popular through an idol drama last year, but she didn’t have much work after that. Because of her beauty, her manager gave her the personality of a ‘flower vase’. I only knew about her today.
Star King Entertainment was the largest entertainment company in the country, with many artists under its name. Fu Ci only had impressions and contact with superstars, A to B-listers, and top stars.
Lu Xun didn’t know Luo Ning before. Remembering the warm voice that said, “Don’t worry, you’ll be fine,” in his ear last night, he took out his phone and searched her up. Then he found that she was a trending topic, but it was not a good thing. The whole page was full of insults, and he couldn’t help frowning.
Seeing this, Fu Ci leaned over to take a look. “Someone has hired ghostwriters to slander her.”
“You’re not going to do anything?” Lu Xun asked as he read the information and news about Luo Ning on the Internet.
Fu Ci shrugged. “Luo Ning said she would take care of it herself and asked me not to have the trending topic taken down.”
His secretary had already sent him Luo Ning’s information, including what had happened in the past two days, so when he contacted Luo Ning just now, he asked if she needed his help, but she declined.
“Why do you suddenly care about this?” This wasn’t like his good friend’s character.
“I’m a little curious,” Lu Xun said.
“Do you also think that talisman is amazing? Actually, I still can’t believe it.” Fu Ci said then quickly followed up with a question. “Do you think it’s my sister’s psychological effect?”
“No, that talisman truly has a miraculous effect.”
The reason why Lu Xun was so sure was because he was conscious after the car accident. Even though things became muddled later, he could feel that not long after he wore the talisman, it gradually became hot on his chest, and the pain in his leg was greatly relieved.
Fu Ci was surprised. “How do you know?”
Lu Xun took out the talisman hanging around his neck. “Because she saved me last night, and then hung this around my neck. I can clearly sense that the reason why my legs aren’t in a serious state is all because of it.”
“You mean it’s not a miracle or luck like the doctor said, but it’s this talisman that has lightened your injury?” Fu Ci felt that his world view was being refreshed again and again.
Then he leaned over to take a look. “It’s clear that this talisman and the one Luo Ning gave me were drawn by the same person.”
Lu Xun chuckled and said, “I wouldn’t have believed it before, but after experiencing it myself, I have no choice but to believe it.”
He had been conscious since the car accident, so when he woke up, he asked someone to retrieve the surveillance on that section of the road. He discovered that a young woman had pulled him out of the car. Lu Xun asked his assistant to do a check on her, but unexpectedly, he found out from his good friend first.
It surprised him that Luo Ning was actually from the entertainment circle. This meant that she should have recognized him back then. If she had followed him to the hospital or left her contact information, he would definitely repay her by taking care of her in the circle. He could even help her get some resources or solve the problems she encountered. But she did the good deed without leaving her name, which was very rare.
Fu Ci was also surprised that it was Luo Ning who had saved his friend. The most important thing was that she had no intention of making the great actor repay her. This was the truly extraordinary part.
“Then do you want to repay her for saving your life?” He looked at Lu Xun curiously and asked.
Lu Xun nodded and said, “Of course.”
Originally, he wanted to help her solve the problem with the trending topic, but since she didn’t need it, he would repay her some other way.
“Change her manager today.” Lu Xun said, then paused and asked, “Does she have any upcoming work?”
“She has a reality show in a week. It’s Strawberry Channel’s newest live variety show, a mix of talent show and reality TV. The popularity has been quite high lately.”
“Why do you ask?” Fu Ci asked back.
Lu Xun had already heard about this new variety show. “If you can get me a spot, I want to participate as well. If I can be a permanent cast member, great. If not, a special guest will be fine.”
Fu Ci’s jaw dropped in surprise. “What? You’re going to that variety show? I thought you never participated in variety shows?”
With his good friend’s status and background, there was no need to participate in variety shows to increase his popularity.
“I’m suddenly interested. Can you make the arrangements, or shall I ask my manager?” Lu Xun said with keen interest.
He was also an artist under Star King Entertainment, but he had his own studio.
Fu Ci was a smart person, and he understood immediately. “You’re going because of Luo Ning?”
“That’s right.” Lu Xun didn’t say anything further.
“Then I’ll make the arrangements and can change Luo Ning’s manager at the same time,” Fu Ci said.
Lu Xun thought for a while and said, “Let Brother Fang take her under his wing.”
“Will Brother Fang agree to it?” Fu Ci asked uncertainly.
Fang Yan was the ace manager of Star King Entertainment. Of all the stars he had raised in the past, the worst result was still a best actress. The best actor he brought up half a year ago had gotten married and took a break from acting. He hadn’t taken on any newcomers since then, and he didn’t seem to be preparing to do so.
A lot of people in the company wanted Fang Yan to take them under his wing, including A and B-listers and top stars. After all, the resources and connections that Fang Yan had accumulated in the entertainment circle over the years was not for show.
Although Fu Ci was the president, he couldn’t just force a veteran of the company to take in newcomers.
“He owes me a favor, so let him pay it back with this,” Lu Xun said.
Fu Ci chuckled, “As expected of you.”
The two of them chatted for a while, then Fu Ci got up and went back to the ward downstairs after seeing that the time was almost up.
Luo Ning arrived at the appointed time, and as soon as she entered the room, she was pulled by the enthusiastic Mama Fu.
Fu Wei had already woken up and was looking at Luo Ning curiously. “You’re so pretty!”
She wasn’t in the habit of following celebrities, so she wasn’t familiar with Luo Ning. She just felt from the bottom of her heart that the other party was really beautiful; not the kind of glamorous beauty, but the kind with bright eyes and shining teeth, charming in manner and had a refined air about her. It was the kind of beauty that could attract attention at a glance.
