When Lu Yicheng’s call ca through, Zhou Yun had already anticipated it, so when she saw Lu Yicheng’s na appearing on the caller ID, she wasn’t surprised but had a feeling of "finally he calls".
Sighing.
Since He Yong wanted to win her over, Lu Yicheng certainly wouldn’t remain indifferent.
But thankfully, Lu Yicheng didn’t bring up anything related over the phone, rely congratulating her on landing "Gentle Little Horse" and then inquiring if she was free recently, if she had ti to have a casual al together.
The choice of words was ticulous, a casual al, not so proper lunch or dinner, so there wasn’t any serious business to discuss, no pressure, no burden.
Conveniently, two days later, Zhou Yun was going to Beijing for an appearance, and Lu Yicheng was traveling to Beijing on a business trip; they agreed to et at a private roast duck restaurant.
Indeed, just a casual al, eating roast duck.
Lu Yicheng said, "When I was a kid, I often heard others talk about Beijing roast duck. You should know, every ti after winter or sumr holidays, when we returned to class, there would be a few students who would talk about their holiday travels with their parents. Perhaps it was different for you, but when I was little, not many families could afford to travel, so hearing stories about others’ travels was quite novel. Back then, the most talked-about place was Beijing, and when it ca to Beijing, what they had to ntion was the roast duck."
Zhou Yun chuckled, nodding and said, "That’s true."
Lu Yicheng: "So, later when I grew up and started working, every ti I ca to Beijing on a business trip, I would have a al of roast duck. It’s pretty odd actually, I don’t particularly fancy it, but I’d eat it every ti I co here."
Zhou Yun said, "Is President Lu compensating for his childhood regrets?"
"You see, I’ve said it before, you’re a smart girl, indeed you understand what I’m talking about." Lu Yicheng laughed, as if he had found a new confidant, "It was probably after my third or fourth business trip to Beijing when I realized, my repeated devouring of roast duck was actually due to the envy built up from listening to my classmates talk about it so often. I wouldn’t admit it, but deep down I envied them. Don’t know if you’ve ever felt this way, but when you long for sothing long enough, it becos an obsession that you’re determined to fulfill when you grow up."
Zhou Yun didn’t know why Lu Yicheng was telling her all this.
She said, "President Lu, no matter what obsessions you had as a child, you should have the ans to realize them now."
Lu Yicheng gave a slight smile.
"Xiao Yun, I know you’re a clever girl. If you weren’t clever, you wouldn’t have achieved what you have today so quickly. Many people say you’re just lucky, clinging onto Song Chi’s coattails, but I know it’s far from that simple." All of a sudden, Lu Yicheng’s gaze turned sincere. Within that sincerity, there was also an inexplicable persuasive force, which Zhou Yun couldn’t help but silently marvel at, these leaders sure have their ways, as she heard Lu Yicheng tell her, "In the future, you won’t just be wildly popular, you’ll beco a legend, you have that potential, I can see it."
Zhou Yun hastily shook her head, saying, "There are no legends in this era."
The entertainnt industry nowadays had long lost the environnt to nurture legends.
Lu Yicheng: "Then let’s phrase it differently, Xiao Yun, as long as you’re willing, I’ll do my utmost to elevate you to Qingyun."
-
"It’s not surprising that Lu Yicheng wants to pull you into his camp, but his thods are indeed more refined than He Yong’s, even bringing up childhood regrets."
"It’s his way of reminding you not to forget how He Yong treated you before."
"There’s all sorts of undercurrents in the headquarters’ news. At tis like these, I suggest you keep a distance from both sides and take care of yourself."
Zhou Lan’s voice ssages ca one after another.
Striking a chord with Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun shared the sa view as Zhou Lan.
Zhou Yun sent a voice ssage to Zhou Lan: "That’s what I think too."
If Zhou Yun was solely reliant on the company’s resources to rise to fa, she might now need to seriously consider her current situation. Unfortunately for He Yong, a key reason for his concessions in front of Zhou Yun was that many celebrities couldn’t be separated from the company, because once they lost the company’s resources and support, their popularity would plumt like Waterloo, Zhou Yun was different from them.
