Although Nan Mu did not really want to give up his position to Lu Shiyuan in the beginning, he felt awkward for Lu Shiyuan at this moment.

“There are seats here.” Nan Mu led Lu Shiyuan to the seat opposite Lin Shanchu.

Opposite him, Yun Wu was talking to Lin Shanchu excitedly.

Nan Mu glanced at Lu Shiyuan. “Yunwu has a good relationship with Shanshan.

Now they finally have time to chat. Look at how happy they are.”

Lu Shiyuan held the wine in front of him and took a big gulp expressionlessly.

Nan Mu felt delighted as he looked at Lu Shiyuan who had nowhere to vent his anger.

Unfortunately, he still had a lot of things to do and did not have time to appreciate it slowly.

Yun Wu moved her chair towards Lin Shanchu and said regretfully, “The supper we had at the restaurant last night was super delicious, but you left too early.”

“I don’t really like supper.” Lin Shanchu smiled.

Yun Yi said, “It’s doesn’t matter. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”

“Big brother!” Yun Wu turned around and said to Yun Yi, “This is Shanshan, my good friend.”

“I know, I met her yesterday.” Yun Yi smiled warmly.

Yun Wu whispered to Lin Shanchu, “I didn’t lie to you, did I? Isn’t my big brother quite good-looking?”

Lin Shanchu replied, “Yeah.”

Yun Wu pinched her thumb and index finger and gestured, “Compared to Third

Brother, he might be a little lacking.”

“Eat something.” Lin Shanchu changed the topic.

Yun Wu’s attention was immediately attracted by the food.

Yun Yi suddenly said, “Xunzhou, you are here. Come here quickly and sit.”

Lin Shanchu was puzzled.

Yun Yi replied with a fatherly smile.

That was right. He was here to save a spot for Huo Xunzhou.

Lin Shanchu followed his gaze and saw Li MO pushing Huo Xunzhou over.

“Mr. Yun, you know that Lu Shiyuan across the table is my fiancé, right?” This matchmaking was too blatant.

Yun Yi corrected her seriously, “You can call me Big Rrother like Yun Wu.”

Then, he nodded solemnly as he said, “I’m well aware of your situation.”

Lin Shanchu repiled, “Then why did you…”

“So what?” Yun Yi asked.

Lin Shanchu was bewildered.

Yun Yi continued, “We do business on a first-come, first-served basis and pay attention to methods. The bigger the business, the simpler the method we use.” Lin Shanchu was confused. “What’s the simple method?” Yun Yi smiled gently, looking gentlemanly and refined. “Daylight robbery.”

Lin Shanchu was speechless. It was really a simple method.

Li MO had pushed Huo Xunzhou up to Yun Yi.

Yun Yi stood up and gave up his seat.

Huo Xunzhou sat down beside Lin Shanchu.

Lu Shiyuan witnessed this scene across the tabel.

He instructed Zhou Yan in a low voice, “Go and find out the identity of the man who gave up his seat to Huo Xunzhou.”

“Understood.” Zhou Yan got up and went out.

After Huo Xunzhou sat down, Lin Shanchu took a piece of dessert and started eating slowly.

Yun Yi kicked Huo Xunzhou under the table.

Huo Xunzhou frowned and turned to look at him.

Yun Yi said in a disappointed tone, “Take the initiative.”

He had snatched the seat with great difficulty, but his silly brother was like a block of wood and did not say a word. Wasn’t he letting him down?

Huo Xunzhou hesitated for a moment. When he turned around, he saw Lin Shanchu holding a glass of wine and looking eager to try it.

Huo Xunzhou reached for a glass of fruit juice and handed it to her.

After exchanging a glance with him, Lin Shanchu downed the glass of wine in one gulp in front of him and even slammed the empty glass on the table.

Huo Xunzhou’s gaze lingered on the empty glass for a moment before he said, “Miss Lin, I didn’t know you have alcohol tolerance.”

Just as Lin Shanchu was about to speak, Huo Xunzhou interrupted her, “That’s right. We’re not familiar with each other after all.” There was an imperceptible annoyance in his tone.

However, Lin Shanchu could not sense it.

She just felt that Huo Xunzhou’s words sounded familiar.

Wasn’t that what she said to Yun Yi last night?

Lin Shanchu turned to Yun Yi.

Yun Yi turned his face away and pretended not to hear anything.

His silly brother’s character had not changed at all. If Yun Jin had not told him that Huo Xunzhou was infatuated with Lin Shanchu, he would have thought that Huo Xunzhou hated her instead of liking her. This petty man was trying to set him up again.

Childish.

Lin Shanchu took another glass of wine and said slowly, “You already said that we’re not close to each other. It would be strange if you could tell my alcohol tolerance.”

Huo Xunzhou was speechless.

Yun Wu, who was enjoying her meal, turned her head to look over upon

hearing those words.

She looked at Huo Xunzhou and then at Lin Shanchu.

Finally, she took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to her elder brother: [Why did Third Brother and Shanshan quarrel?]

Yun Yi: [He brought it upon himself.]

Yun Wu: [???]

Forget it.

It was more important for them to have dinner.

After that, Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu ignored each other.

After a short while, Nan Mu called Huo Xunzhou away.

Lin Shanchu suddenly thought of something and called out to Nan Mu.

“President Nan.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Call Xia Jinmeng over later,” Lin Shanchu said in a low voice.

“Alright.” Nan Mu did not ask further questions.

At this time, Zhou Yan returned to the seat across the table.

He handed his phone to Lu Shiyuan. “President Lu, he is the current president of Yun Ding Corporation, Yun Yi.”

After Lu Shiyuan finished reading the information, he was lost in thought.

Shortly afterwards, Nan Mu called Xia Jinmeng over in the name of a toast.

“Jinmeng, come over and give President Lu a toast.”

“President Lu, I’ll toast you.”

As Xia Jinmeng lifted her head, she raised the glass and drank it.

She was wearing a white dress with her black hair draped over her shoulders. She had a faint makeup and her docile appearance looked so weak that it made one pity her.

She frowned the entire time she drank the wine. Her frown deepened after she finished drinking, as if she was enduring the discomfort.

Lu Shiyuan liked someone stubborn, forbearing, and unpretentious the most.

Looking at her, he frowned slightly but did not say anything.

“Xia Jinmeng, I heard that your contract with your previous company is about to expire, is that right?” Xia Jinmeng looked up at Lin Shanchu in confusion, but Lin Shanchu turned around and looked at Nan Mu. “President Nan, it would be great if you could sign her to the company so that I’ll have another acquaintance in the company.”

Before Nan Mu could speak, Lu Shiyuan opened his mouth, “Shanshan, it’s none of your business.”

Lin Shanchu was now the cash cow of Tianzhou Media, and she was vicious. If Xia Jinmeng really signed with Tianzhou Media, Lin Shanchu would bully and humiliate her at wills.

Lin Shanchu widened her eyes and pretended to be innocent. “I was just telling President Nan what I thought. President Nan and Xia Jinmeng didn’t mind it, so why would you mind?”

Nan Mu sized Xia Jinmeng up, as if he was seriously considering Lin Shanchu’s suggestion. “Jin Meng is quite outstanding…”

Lu Shiyuan frowned fiercely and finally couldn’t help but say, “Our company is also lacking female artists of this type.”

He took the bait.

“What do you mean?” Lin Shanchu asked in surprise. “Are you trying to snatch her away from President Nan?”

“I’m not. It depends on the wish of the person involved,” Lu Shiyuan spoke as he turned to look at Xia Jinmeng confidently..
