The rest of the crew also saw Lu Shiyuan and tacitly lowered their voices to discuss something.
Lu Shiyuan felt that someone was looking at him, so he turned around and looked over.
When he saw Lin Shanchu, his expression froze for a moment before he rushed into the restaurant.
His back looked a little disheveled.
Lu Shiyuan, who used to have great reputation, ended up in this state today.
There were so many people in the crew, so half of the seats in the restaurant were reserved by them.
Lin Shanchu did not see Lu Shiyuan when she went into the restaurant. She guessed that he must have gone to talk to someone in a private room.
The restaurant booked by the crew was not bad, but it was indeed unsightly to someone who only went to high -class places like Lu Shiyuan.
After Lin Shanchu sat down, she took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Chu Gushen.
Lin Shanchu: [How much money did Lu Shiyuan raise?]
Chu Gushen quickly replied: [It’s still far from enough. The recent events have had a huge impact on Lu Corporation. Many people aren’t willing to lend him money. Those who are willing to lend him money can’t come up with much money in a short period of time, so he’s been selling his assets to raise money recently.]
After Lin Shanchu read the message, she put down her phone with satisfaction.
Lu Qinghuai’s investment loan had failed. Now that the loan was overdue, he would definitely be counting on Lu Shiyuan to help him repay the loan.
However, Lu Shiyuan could not even protect himself now. He could not even gather 300 million yuan by selling his personal assets. In the end, he had no choice but to sell his shares.
If Lu Qinghuai could not repay the loan, the shares he had pledged would be auctioned off.
In that case, Lu Corporation would have to change its name if the shares fell into the hands of others.
When Lin Shanchu came out of the restroom, she saw Lu Shiyuan smoking in the corridor.
Lu Shiyuan raised his head and looked at her intently.
“Shanshan.”
“Have you gathered the money?”
Lin Shanchu stopped in her tracks and gently fanned the smoke with her slender and snow-white fingers.
Seeing this, Lu Shiyuan put out the cigarette in his hand. “Just a little more. Can you give me a little more time?”
He looked even more haggard and thinner than before.
Lin Shanchu slowly curled her lip. Her smile was extremely gentle, but her words were extremely cold.
“Isn’t sixteen years enough already?”
“You have probably heard about my dad’s loan…” Lu Shiyuan said with an embarrassed expression.
“I heard about it, but what does that have to do with me?” Lin Shanchu interrupted him impatiently.
Lu Shiyuan looked at Lin Shanchu in disbelief and asked, “Lu Corporation’s shares are going to be auctioned off. Don’t you care?” Lin Shanchu sneered, “It’s none of my business.”
“Shanshan, you…”
Lin Shanchu reminded him in a serious tone, “I’m sure you’ve received the court summons. You should know that if you can’t gather 300 million yuan before the trial, you’ll get a longer sentence than Tang Qidai.”
Looking at Lin Shanchu’s leaving figure, Lu Shiyuan held his head and squatted down against the wall.
When Lin Shanchu returned to the restaurant hall, he saw Qi Cheng looking over from afar.
After he saw Lin Shanchu, his eyes calmed down a little.
Lin Shanchu returned to her seat and sat down. Then, Qi Cheng turned his head and asked her, “Did you meet Lu Shiyuan?”
Lu Shiyuan followed Lin Shanchu right after she left her seat just now.
Qi Cheng thought that if Lin Shanchu did not come back in two minutes, he would go and check on the situation.
“Yeah.” Lin Shanchu nodded.
Qi Cheng advised her, “Eat more. There’s no need to get angry at that kind of person.’”‘
“I’m not angry.” Lu Shiyuan was no longer able to affect her emotions as easily as before.
She was happier than ever.
The wrap party this time was very low-key and ended at 10:00 p.m.
Right after Lin Shanchu walked out of the restaurant, someone suddenly jumped in front of her and knelt down in front of her.
“Shanshan, please spare me! Spare Lu Corporation!”
Lin Shanchu took a closer look. It was Lu Qinghuai.
Qi Cheng noticed that something was wrong and immediately went forward to pull Lu Qinghuai up.
Lu Qinghuai shook Qi Cheng off and said, “Shanshan, I won’t get up if you don’t promise me.”
Many people witnessed the scene in public, so the director whispered to Lin
Shanchu, “Why don’t you two find a quiet place to talk it through?”
Lin Shanchu took a few deep breaths, but still she could not suppress the urge to kick Lu Qinghuai away.
He Xiang had been paying attention to Lin Shanchu’s reaction. The moment she saw Lin Shanchu raise her foot, she quickly went forward to stop her.
“Sister Lin, hold it in!” He Xiang persuaded her nervously, “You may curse him, but this matter will be never-ending if you ever lay a hand on him.” Lin Shanchu replied, “I won’t use my hand, I’ll use my foot.”
He Xiang said, “You can’t use your foot either.”
Lin Shanchu took a deep breath and stared at Lu Qinghuai with a cold smile.
“You may kneel to death here.”
The surroundings suddenly fell silent.
Lin Shanchu acted as if she did not notice anything and walked away calmly.
Qi Cheng almost had a heart attack on the spot.
However, he forced a smile and said a few words to mend the situation.
“A lady gets a little emotional sometimes. Everyone, thank you for taking care of Shanshan during this period of time. We hope we can work together again if we have the opportunity in the future.”
The director smiled cooperatively and said, “Let’s work together again if there is another chance.”
The crew members did not want to get involved in the Lu family’s matters, so they all left in a hurry.
Only Lu Qinghuai was still kneeling on the spot with a blank expression.
The reason why he had lowered his face and knelt down before Lin Shanchu in front of so many people was because he was certain that Lin Shanchu, as a public figure, would definitely choose to back down to save face.
However, he did not expect Lin Shanchu to be so cruel.
Just as Lu Qinghuai was about to get up, Lu Shiyuan’s angry roar came from behind.
“What are you doing here?”
When Lin Shanchu got home, she found that both Lu Shiyuan and Lu Qinghuai were trending with the hashtag
#LuFamily’sFatherAndSonFoughtInFrontoftheRestaurant.
The comments section:
[What a kind father and a filial son. Filial piety is powerful!]
[Filial piety is trending!] [Filial piety? Hahahahaha!]
[Ah, this… Don’t they feel ashamed?]
[A lot of things have happened to Lu Corporation recently. I suspect that Lu Corporation is about to collapse.]
[Indeed, I heard that some artists have started to terminate their contracts and run away.]
[You still have time to fight? Have you paid off the money you owe Sister Rabbit?]
The netizens were really “kind-hearted”. At a time like this, they did not forget to help her collect the debt.
The next day, the lawyer informed He Xiang that the trial with Tang Qidai would start as scheduled.
Yan Qicheng found a new lavvyer for Tang Qidai—a top-notch lawyer hired from Capital City at a high price.
The lavvyer looked serious when he told them about this matter.
It was obvious that the lawyer was under a lot of pressure.
He Xiang fell silent for a long time before she asked the lawyer, “Will their new lawyer going to get Tang Qidai acquitted?”
“That’s not the case. The evidence in this case is conclusive.” The lawyer shook his head and said, “In addition, it was a big commotion back then coupled with the pressure from public opinion. The other party’s lawyer will probably work hard on reducing the sentence. It’s impossible for her to be acquitted.”
He Xiang heaved a sigh of relief and said, “That’s good. It’s fine as long as she is going to be a convict..”
