Chapter 73 – Favor of the Goddess

After knowing that Emma was at the Hilton Hotel, Lu Ze was very excited along the way. When Lu Yaohua saw him like this, the hopes that he pinned on Lu Ze came crashing down. “If he could put this focus on work, why would I worry about having no one to inherit my company?” he thought.
After a while, they arrived at their destination.
As Zhuo Wenbin often came here to eat, the waiter was very familiar with him. When he saw him walk in, he took the initiative to greet him and said, “Mr. Zhuo, your private room has been arranged. I’ll take you there now.”
Lu Yaohua raised his head and said, “I remember that the seafood here is pretty good. There are king crabs, Boston, and tuna, served with Lafite. Absolutely delicious.”
As he had been pressured to pay his debts recently, he could not even afford the seafood that he used to eat. His life was getting poorer. Fortunately, there was still meat for his three meals. Otherwise, Lu Ze would not be willing to eat at the table.
Now that someone was willing to treat him to a meal, he naturally would not stand on ceremony.
However, the hotel waiter was only familiar with Zhuo Wenbin, so he instinctively looked at him. When Zhuo Wenbin heard this, he could not help but feel the pinch. “Let’s have these then.”
He had only ordered such expensive seafood a couple of times, and they were all to entertain big shots. With Lu Yaohua’s current assets, he was not worthy of his spending so much money. But even if he wanted to back out at the last minute, he could not lose face.
He could not suddenly go back on his word, right?
He could only accept it.
The four of them walked into the VIP room, one after another. Lu Ze asked impatiently, “When can we meet Ms. Emma?”
Tang Wenyi’s sharp eyes noticed a familiar figure opposite her. She muttered, “This is… Lu Ming?”
Her words were like Lu Yaohua’s radar. He looked toward the French window and saw a green potted plant covering the person’s back view, but he could still tell that the man with the back facing him was his elder son.
“When did Lu Ming get to know such a person?”
He thought about the company under Lu Ming’s name. Could it be a partnership?
However, he knew very well that the fee for hiring an international A-lister was rather expensive. Could Lu Ming afford it? Or had he become this rich?
“Oh, my god!”
Lu Ze saw Emma, who was facing them, and the woman on the left.
Wasn’t that his goddess, Chu Jinyu?!
He wondered why even the female celebrity he liked was with Lu Ming!
And the three of them looked like they were having a good time!
He was so angry that he almost crushed his teeth!
Lu Ming had no idea that he was being watched.
After he clinked glasses with Emma Stone and Chu Jinyu, he had only taken a few mouthfuls when a few pieces of lobster meat and a few spoonfuls of caviar appeared in his bowl.
???
“What’s going on?”
When he looked at Chu Jinyu, she winked at him and said, “Eat more. You’re too skinny.”
“Lu Ming.”
Lu Yaohua was jolted back to reality by Lu Ze’s angry roar. He turned around and saw his younger son leaning against the glass. His face was pale from anger. If looks could kill, Lu Ming would have died countless times.
Tang Wenyi clenched her fists. She increasingly felt that getting rid of Lu Ming as soon as possible was the best strategy. She could not let him continue developing like this! Otherwise, he would definitely become the biggest stumbling block for her precious son!
“Lu Ming.”
Lu Ze shouted angrily again. Unfortunately, the soundproofing here was excellent, and even sounds from the hallway could not be heard if the door was closed. So his rage was quite futile.
He turned around and wanted to run to the other side, but before he could take a few steps, he fell to the ground and instantly vomited blood. The blood splattered on the floor like plum blossoms.
Lu Yaohua looked at Lu Ze in astonishment. Although he did not think well of his younger son, he had doted on him since he was young. Seeing Lu Ze injured like this, his heart could not help but beat faster!
Tang Wenyi rushed over. “Son!! How are you? Where are you feeling unwell?”
She looked at Lu Yaohua and said in an unpleasant tone, “Hubby, what are you waiting for?! Hurry up and call the ambulance!”
Lu Yaohua quickly took out his phone and dialed 120.
Lu Ze felt that his organs were burning. Before he could finish his sentence, he spat out blood again. “Mom… it hurts… Don’t let Lu Ming off… I hate him…”
“Alright, mom will listen to you. Stop talking. Mom will definitely have you cured!”
Tang Wenyi held him carefully, afraid that he would crumble in the next second.
As for Zhuo Wenbin, he had not expected Lu Ze to be so sick. He looked down on this person even more. “Isn’t he just trash? He’s not well and he’s not capable,” he thought.
Compared to Lu Ming, he was really inferior.
As the ambulance drove away, this incident finally came to an end.
Seeing that the date for the auction of the land in the suburbs was getting closer, Lu Yaohua was overwhelmed. Not only did he have to visit Lu Ze from time to time to see if he had regained consciousness, but he also had to prepare for what to do next.
It was not his style to stay put, so he looked everywhere for an opportunity to make a comeback.
As soon as Chu Jinyu’s company’s newly listed commercial was broadcast, it triggered enthusiastic discussion! Now it was firmly in the top three on Weibo and had even been shared on Twitter.
[Can someone tell me why my goddess, Emma Stone, is in the video too?! The media actually didn’t disclose any information? I remember that my goddess was filming a movie, right? Why would she have the time to come to Shanghai?]
[A relative of mine who is a news reporter said that Emma had made up her mind at the last minute. It was said that in order to shoot this commercial, she had even postponed her work. With Jingchen’s ability, they naturally could not afford to hire Ms. Emma, so it was the invitation of some big shot.]
[Some big shot? Who is so capable? Are you interested in talking about it in detail? And they got Emma Stone to be a supporting actor. How awesome! To go off-topic, that angel sister, the protagonist, is really good-looking! Is she a newbie? The moment I saw her, there was only one sentence in my heart: Mom! I’m in love!]
[She’s the boss of Jingchen. Clearly, she can rely on her looks to make a living, but she has to rely on her talent. I’ve decided. She’s my new goddess! And the lipstick she’s promoting this time is very pretty. Sisters, charge!]
…
There were countless such comments. Han Qianjing raised her eyebrows slightly. She remembered that this was Chu Jinyu’s new project. She seemed to have used a new person-in-charge.
Meanwhile, at the company, Chu Jinyu was raising her glass to celebrate with Lu Ming. “Well done! I didn’t expect you to shine in your first project. It seems that you’re very talented in this area!”
“I didn’t do much.”
Lu Ming chuckled.
Chu Jinyu said seriously, “Weren’t you the one doing everything from the filming to the promotions for this endorsement commercial?”
