“Madam, I saw your marriage certificate the other day. Your birthday is today, so I made you a bowl of longevity noodles. It’s a pity that today is the death anniversary of Third Master’s mother, so he can’t celebrate it with you. Don’t be angry, okay?”
Aunt Wang’s gentle voice was right beside his ear.
Tang Wei’s peach blossom eyes were filled with tears when she heard Aunt Wang’s words. Her vision turned foggy.
Tang Wei raised her hand and wiped her tears away gently. She got up and hugged Aunt Wang’s soft body. She choked and said, “Thank you, Aunt Wang. You’re so kind.”
“Huhu… I-I didn’t plan to celebrate my birthday anyway, but I didn’t expect you to be so attentive to even remember my birthday.”
She was an emotional person. As she thanked Aunt Wang, she recalled the grievances she had suffered at her big brother’s place during the day and felt sad.
“Thank goodness I have you.” Tang Wei said.
Aunt Wang didn’t expect that a bowl of noodles would make her Madam burst into tears. She was a little flattered. She gently patted Tang Wei’s shoulder and comforted her, “Madam, quickly try it. Eat the noodles while they’re hot.”
“Yes!” Tang Wei sat back down on the sofa with red eyes.
She had planned to wait for everyone to leave and wanted to cook a bowl of longevity noodles for herself after ten o’clock. However, she did not expect that someone had already cooked it for her.
Tang Wei looked up at Aunt Wang with a faint smile and then lowered her head to eat.
In the past, Song Chichi would always spend her birthday with her. However, today, the girl had something to do and could not come, so she only sent her a gift.
She thought that she would be alone this time. She did not expect Aunt Wang to be there for her.
—
The next day, Tang Wei realized that Lu Beichen was not around. She asked Aunt Wang and found out that the man was going on a business trip for a month.
Tang Wei pursed her lips and was happy.
A month later.
The first heavy snow fell on A City.
Lu Beichen had just returned to the country, so he had to go back to the company for a meeting first.
The man was more than 1.88 meters tall. He was wearing a black jacket with open lapels and a thin V-neck sweater inside. His nose bridge was framed with golden rimmed glasses. He listened to the executives’ reports about the upcoming year-end tasks with a cold expression.
Lu Beichen said calmly, “There’s still a month before the year-end assessment. I hope that all of you can improve your KPIs. Do not repeat what you did last year, where you were basically competing to not be the one with the lowest score.”
The executives were embarrassed. They were indeed like this last year. They calculated that as long as they weren’t the one at the bottom, then there would be no big problem.
However, last year, Lu Beichen actually made them work overtime at the end of the year. It was a really difficult time.
At the thought of this, they shivered and did not dare to slack off anymore. They quickly replied in unison, “Don’t worry, President Lu.”
“Ring! Ring!”
Someone’s phone rang. The executives looked at each other and did not dare to breathe loudly. Their hands under the conference table quietly reached into their pockets and checked if their phones were on silent. Some of them secretly flipped through the phones on the table and heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that it was not their own.
“Ring! Ring!”
The phone rang again.
At this moment, who had the guts to look at President Lu’s terrifying gaze?
They didn’t know who was so unlucky, and they were all praying to not be implicated if their President got angry.
Lu Beichen pressed the tip of his tongue against his teeth. He flipped his hand and picked up his phone. He raised his voice and said, “I’m sorry. I have to take this call.”
The executives smiled apologetically. “President Lu, please take it. We don’t dare to delay important matters.”
Lu Beichen nodded and picked it up.
Thirty seconds later, Lu Beichen hung up with an unpleasant expression.
The executives looked at each other. It seemed that something had happened.
They hurriedly lowered their heads, afraid that they would be called out.
Lu Beichen sat for a while before getting up. “That’s all for today’s meeting.”
With that, the man strode out of the meeting room.
The people behind him heaved a sigh of relief.
He went to his office and took out his phone. However, he remembered that he did not have Tang Wei’s contact information.
He put down his phone and raised his voice to Xiao Chen, who walked in from behind. “Xiao Chen, call Madam.”
“Alright.”
Xiao Chen swiped open his phone, found the contact name ‘Madam’ and dialed it.
Speaking of which, other than a few people around him, no one else knew about Lu Beichen’s marriage.
If they knew, who knew what kind of heated discussion would arise?
“Hello?” Tang Wei’s voice appeared.
Lu Beichen raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand. Xiao Chen quickly passed the phone to him.
“It’s me.” he said calmly.
Tang Wei looked at her phone and said, “Third Master Lu, what’s the matter?”
“We’ll be staying over at the old mansion for a month starting today. If you have anything important, you can ask Butler Ji to send it over.”
The girl was silent for a while before she said, “Stay for a month? Is there something important?”
“Old Master is not feeling well. Aunt Cheng wants us to come over.”
“Ah, I understand. Get someone to pick me up tonight. I don’t know where the old mansion is.” she said.
Lu Beichen hummed and hung up.
He glanced at the phone before returning it to Xiao Chen.
“Thank you.”
Xiao Chen bowed. “Third Master is too polite.”
“Third Master, we have to sign this document.”
Xiao Chen handed him a document.
Lu Beichen glanced at the document. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he picked up a black pen and wrote down his name on it.
“I’ll go down first then,” Xiao Chen said as he closed the document.
Lu Beichen nodded.
After Xiao Chen left, he turned around and stood in front of the French windows. His deep black eyes looked at the heavy traffic in the distance. His thoughts were deep, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
He had saved Tang Wei’s phone number in his contact list and added it as a note.
He thought that it would be more convenient this way in the future. It would be weird if people found out he didn’t even have his wife’s contact information.
On the other side, at the set up location for the filming of “Red Maze”.
Song Chichi asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Third Master Lu said that he wants me to stay with him at the old mansion for a month.”
“Hmm? Why?”
“I don’t know.”
Tang Wei pursed her lips. She couldn’t tell her best friend about Old Master Lu’s poor health. If her best friend accidentally spilled about it, the entire East Continent would know in an instant. This information will definitely reach the ears of those who want a taste of the legacy laid down by the Lu family’s older generation.
“Sister Chichi, Movie King Xie is here. The director wants you to rehearse with him. We’ll start shooting the first scene immediately.”
The assistant said as he walked over quickly from the set.
Song Chichi said to Tang Wei, “Then I’ll be going over first.”
Tang Wei tidied her collar and encouraged her. “Okay, go ahead. Just do what I told you at home last night.”
“Okay.”
Tang Wei watched her walk away, then got up and went to the camera to look at the small screen inside.
This scene took a month to shoot, and the reason was because of the main supporting roles and Movie King Xie.
“Red Maze” was a Chinese novel. It told the story of the female protagonist Cheng Yi, a young lady from a wealthy family in Shanghai. Cheng Yi was ranked eleventh within her family, and counting up were her cousins. In total, she had ten siblings.
Her family doted on her very much. Although she was doted on, she was not spoiled at all. She was very good at behaving well as the daughter of a noble family. However, she had a dream to become a reporter. Knowing this, the Cheng family naturally did not agree to let her become a person who showed her face in public, so they decided to arrange a marriage for her. Cheng Yi naturally did not agree to this, so she ran away. Later, she went to the northwest and went through many events. many things. There, she also met the male lead, General Huo Chou. The two of them fell in love with each other in the war-filled era. In the end, it was revealed that the male lead was actually the person the female lead was going to get engaged to back then.
Tang Wei sat behind the camera and stared at the surveillance screen.
For the first scene, the female lead wore a red dress with light blue embroidered lotus leaves. Her long hair was combed behind her ears and she had bangs.
