Qi Jiaping looked puzzled: "Guest? Who?"

"Me." Fu Jingnian finished his visit, came out of the house, and closed the door. Looking back, he saw the table full of delicious dishes and exclaimed: "Wow, so grand? A full banquet?"

Chu Yao pulled out a seat for him, "Brother Fu, come here! Brother Chao's cooking skills are really amazing!"

"Really? Then I have to try it." Fu Jingnian sat next to Lu Jinzhao, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the chicken wings on the plate and put them into his mouth. He was instantly attracted.

He gave Lu Jinzhao a thumbs up and praised him while chewing chicken wings: "It tastes better than what my private chef makes. I suggest you teach our chef. I'm almost tired of his cooking."

Lu Jinzhao showed disdain on his face: "Don't talk while eating, be careful your saliva will spray into my bowl."

It was not the first time that Fu Jingnian was disliked by him. He turned around with a grunt and went to eat his meal.

Xing Yang and Fu Jingnian fought for the last chicken wing, and Lu Jinchao won. Xing Yang almost howled. Qi Jiaping couldn't bear it anymore, so he gave the chicken leg in his bowl to Xing Yang.

Seeing this, Chu Yao also picked up the chicken wings in his bowl and gave them to Fu Jingnian: "Brother Fu, you eat, and after eating, let's go play games together!"

After dinner, they drank beer and chatted. Lu Jinchao changed into sportswear and prepared to go out. Fu Jingnian was a little drunk and raised his hand and asked, "Where are you going?"

Xing Yang drank a gulp of beer and was extremely excited: "Brother Chao, go for a night run, five kilometers every morning and evening."

As a second-generation rich man, Fu Jingnian doesn't necessarily exercise every day. He does go to the gym regularly, and he manages his image well. He immediately said he wanted to go together, and Lu Jinzhao tilted his head to signal him to follow.

Lu Jinzhao's running route is an open secret in Imperial University, and many people have watched it. Some people try to check in with Lu Jinzhao every day, and they become more self-disciplined because of it. There is even a tag "follow running" on Weibo.

However, this was the first time that someone ran beside Lu Jinzhao. Fortunately, Fu Jingnian was used to being watched by others, otherwise he would not have been able to run here.

"Stop, stop..." Halfway through the run, Fu Jingnian couldn't stand it anymore, so he sat down on the bench, panting: "It's great to be young. I can't compare to your physical fitness."

He is only 27 years old, but he insists on describing himself as an old man.

Lu Jinzhao turned on the screen of his mobile phone and checked the time. He let out a long sigh and said, "It's getting late. You might as well go back."

Fu Jingnian curled his lips, thinking that he really had no reason to stay any longer. Since the Imperial Capital University in Ma was closed, he couldn't just stay in Lu Jinzhao's dormitory. He had no choice but to take out his cell phone and call his hotel to send someone to pick him up.

"What about you? Go back to sleep after running?"

"Ah."

"Boring..."

"I can see that you've only run less than three kilometers."

Fu Jingnian: "..." I'm not talking about boring like you! Do you really think everyone is like you!

Lu Jinchao ran out of his sight early in the morning.

Fu Jingnian waited obediently on the bench, and the driver soon came to pick him up. On the way back, he received a message from Shang Shaoting: "Hey, there are new melons, take a look for yourself. [Screenshot]"

Fu Jingnian clicked on the picture, which showed a conversation between Ji Lianhuai and Shang Shaoting.

Ji Lianhuai: "Zhou Hongda is coming to the capital. This is the information he has. Please make a public relations plan."

Ji Lianhuai: [Document]

Shang Shaoting: "Oh, Brother Huai actually condescended to contact me, let me see. Isn't this Lu Jinchao's adoptive father? Brother Huai, you have been paying attention to him recently. The problem is that he is in Yan Shangzhang's company, why are you making a PR plan for someone else? Could it be that you are really attracted to him?"

Ji Lianhuai: "No comment."

Shang Shaoting: "Hey, hey, hey, brother Huai, don't go! Just tell me how far you have progressed!"

Happy red exclamation mark.

Fu Jingnian read the whole article and didn't have time to laugh at Shang Shaoting being blocked by Ji Lianhuai. He just called him directly.

Shang Shaoting picked up the phone, "Hello? What's going on?"

"What kind of dirty information does Zhou Hongda have in his hand? Have you prepared a public relations plan?"

Shang Shaoting silently moved his phone further away. He stared at the screen in a daze. Was the person opposite him really his childhood friend? That heartless Fu Jingnian?

Fu Jingnian said anxiously: "Speak! Are you mute?"

"... Don't worry, Zhou Hongda just wanted to cheat some money from Lu Jinzhao, so he made up some stuff about 'having money but not supporting his parents'. It's fake at first glance, and no one with a brain would believe it."

Fu Jingnian breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I'm hanging up. Send me a copy of your PR plan and I'll find a few marketing accounts to take care of it."

Shang Shaoting couldn't believe it: "Are you really Fu Jingnian?"

"Moonlight on Tianshan Mountain" is a short film, but the director has very high requirements, and the costumes and props need to be adjusted at any time, so the shooting cycle is relatively long. Therefore, Lu Jinzhao's schedule is not particularly full, and he does not need to report to the crew every day.

He was invited by several professors at Teito University to participate in an academic project that he was interested in. He was busy with the company, school, and crew. But every time Chitose asked why he had to keep himself spinning like a top, his eyes sparkled and he was happy to learn something new.

After coming out of Fengxing class that day, Ji Fanyin handed him an invitation letter. Lu Jinzhao took it, unfolded it and saw that it was an invitation letter from the professional league.

"I mentioned it before when we were filming the endorsement. Although no one is questioning your endorsement anymore because your identity as a streamer has been exposed, this event was scheduled in advance and will be held in the capital, so it will be convenient for you to travel back and forth. Just show up on the first day and play a few games with the professional players. It won't delay the crew's filming progress. You can arrange your studies. I don't want you to come back and tell me that you failed a course and need to retake it."

Lu Jinzhao nodded: "Okay."

"Well, I look forward to your performance."

After saying goodbye to Ji Fanyin, Lu Jinzhao came to the underground garage. Just as he took out the car key and was about to press the unlock button, he heard the whistling of wind behind him. He subconsciously turned sideways and took a few steps back to avoid the sneak attack from behind.

The man missed the first strike and reacted very quickly, rushing forward again wielding the iron rod.

He was wearing a hood, and said nothing. His eyes were cunning and cruel as he stared at Lu Jinzhao.

Chitose took a quick glance and jumped onto the hood of the Koenigsegg. "I've never seen this guy before. He's very agile. He must have been hired by someone."

Lu Jinzhao quickly took off the two rings on his right fingers and put them between his left fingers to act as simple brass knuckles. Taking advantage of the masked man's approach, he threw a left hook at the masked man's jaw with such speed that it was hard to defend against.

The masked man fell backwards to the ground, obviously in pain and unconscious. The iron rod fell and bounced on the ground a few times, making a dull sound.

Lu Jinzhao raised the corners of his lips, picked up the iron rod, squatted down, and patted the masked man on the face with the back of his hand, "Hey."

The masked man was a little nervous and stepped back tentatively: "I won't say anything!"

"I didn't mean to ask." Lu Jinzhao showed his big white teeth and laughed wantonly: "Go back and tell your boss that I'm in a good mood today and I'm going to let him go. If you dare to provoke me again, I won't be as polite as today."

After saying that, he threw the iron rod aside, fumbled for the phone from the masked man, called his own private phone number, and didn't put the masked man's phone on him until the phone in his pocket rang. "Call me if you need reimbursement of medical expenses."

He turned around, opened the door, got in the driver's seat, stepped on the accelerator and drove away, leaving the masked man in a daze.

The thousand-year-old cat put its claws on Lu Jinzhao's chin and licked his face with its tongue: "Brother Chao is so handsome! Let me lick your fur!"

Anyway, it has no substance, so it won't leave saliva or the prickly touch of the barbs on a cat's tongue, so Lu Jinchao just let it go.

"Brother Chao, I just checked. This man is called Zuo Hui, and he was hired by an e-sports player named Zhang Chenhan."

"Esports player?" Lu Jinzhao raised his eyebrows.

Qiansui projected Zhang Chenhan's information onto the large screen in the car. Lu Jinzhao swiped up and down to take a look. "What's the reason for him to do this?"

"When you were live streaming and trying to climb the leaderboard, you were matched against him. He was beaten by you and fell out of the top ten. There will be a league exhibition match soon. Maybe they want to prevent you from playing? By the way, Brother Chao, why did you keep Zuo Hui's phone number?"

"He's quite skilled. He suffered a fractured jaw and a concussion but he didn't faint right away. He was able to endure it without making a sound. He's not an ordinary thug. Check him out."

"receive!"

"Zuo Hui, 37 years old, divorced, has a daughter with his ex-wife. He used to work as the bodyguard captain of Henglin Group. He was imprisoned for manslaughter seven years ago and was released six months ago. Because of his imprisonment, he had difficulty finding a job. A week ago, an extra 20 yuan appeared in his account. The remitter asked him to break at least one of your hands before the league, and it would be best if you could not attend."

"It wasn't him who killed the person, but the then heir and current CEO of Henglin Group. He took the 20 yuan out of helplessness. His daughter was in college and his ex-wife was seriously ill. He needed the money."

"Another coincidence is that his daughter is called Xu Le, and she is a fan of yours. She is currently studying fashion design at the Academy of Fine Arts. She has designed many looks with you as the model, and she is quite popular on the super topic."

Qiansui opened the Weibo super topic and projected it onto the big screen, and what he saw was Xu Le’s nine-square grid work.

She had custom-made a life-size mannequin of Lu Jinzhao from somewhere, put the clothes she made on the mannequin, and printed a picture of Lu Jinzhao's face and pasted it on his neck. It did look somewhat like Lu Jinzhao.

Lu Jinzhao clicked on the large pictures, admired them one by one for a while, gave her a thumbs up, and tilted his head to talk to Qiansui: "She is quite talented."

"Indeed, the clothes she makes suit your temperament very well. There are a few pieces that I quite like, but they are not suitable for daily use and you can't wear them out."

"Wait until she graduates and sign her."

"How can we sign? We don't have a studio or a company."

"Who said that? The company has a ready-made one."

Ji Lianhuai is indeed a big shot in the business world. In just a few days, he had completed the factory site selection, raw material reserves, and worker recruitment. He directly bought a bankrupt cosmetics production line with ready-made equipment that could be used at any time.

Several people held a video conference. Ji Lianhuai asked while checking the documents: "What is the brand name going to be?"

Lu Jinzhao was doing his homework and didn't even raise his head: "Wangshu."

Ji Lianzhu paused while spinning his pen: "For the god who drives the moon?"

“It can also refer to the moon.”

"That sounds good. I think the packaging you designed is very beautiful. There's no need to find someone else to design it. What do you think, brother?"

Ji Lianhuai stopped writing and glanced at the screen: "Hmm."

Ji Lianzhu drew circles on the draft paper with his pen tip: "I think we can make a batch of samples first and find some well-known beauty bloggers and anchors to test. Huanyu Group is well-known, but it has always focused on the technology industry. If it suddenly switches to the unrelated beauty industry, no one may buy it."

Ji Lianhuai nodded slightly: "Not bad. It seems that you didn't just have fun while abroad."

Ji Lianzhu snorted softly: "I will go and select the appropriate anchor, and you guys can handle the rest on your own."

Lu Jinzhao's cell phone beeped, he picked it up and couldn't help laughing.

It was a text message from Zuo Hui, containing three pictures and a string of numbers. One was a receipt for the transfer of 20 yuan back to Zhang Chenhan's account; one was a medical record from a visit to the hospital, which stated that he had a right maxillofacial fracture and a mild concussion; and the other was a hospital bill.

Qiansui paced back and forth: "This guy really came to ask you for medical expenses."

"Waiting for it." He tapped his fingers on the screen and transferred 600,000 yuan to Zuo Hui.

Zuo Hui replied almost immediately: "What do you mean?"

"You should have investigated me and know what I do. I have also investigated you. Your wife is seriously ill and you need money. It just so happens that your daughter is my fan. For your daughter's sake, how about I give you a job?"

"What do you want me to do?"

"You will know when you recover from your injury. Go to this address and find Ah Shen. He will arrange accommodation for you."

"Who are you chatting with?" Ji Lianzhu put down the file and rubbed the back of his neck: "I picked some top anchors. The list is in the group file for you to see. If you have no objection, I can send samples."

"Okay," Lu Jinzhao clicked on the electronic list, scanned it quickly, and asked Qiansui to eliminate some anchors who were money-making and whose fans didn't buy it, and updated the list and uploaded it. "Don't want the ones I marked. They dare to push anything as long as they are paid. Mr. Huai, please check if there are any who have had conflicts with your group, confirm the final list, and the rest who are not marked can be invited directly."

Ji Lianhuai responded softly: "Yes. The factory is ready. Do you want to inspect it?"

Lu Jinzhao refused directly: "No, my schedule is very full. You can take Ah Shen with you if you go for the inspection."

"You really trust him."

"Of course, A-Shen is my family."

"Speaking of family, your adoptive father is now in the imperial capital."

Lu Jinzhao's fingertips were spinning rapidly. "I know that he was detained by your people as soon as he got off the train. Tell me straight, what do you want to do?"

As a big boss of a group, who would believe that he has no time to take care of such a small matter without a purpose? Is he trying to trick a child?

"Publicly, you are the top anchor of my group and a partner in my new project. Privately, you are my younger sister's older brother, and he has dirt on you. I am just doing risk control in advance."

"That's a good reason." Lu Jinzhao sneered, "Well, you give him two million in cash, and if that doesn't work, you can give him some other benefits, saying that you want to buy my dirty laundry, feed him well, and the money will be deducted from Wangshu's profits."

Ji Lianzhu, who had heard the whole thing, looked over and asked, "Are you two going to destroy the Zhou family?"

Ji Lianhuai did not comment.

Lu Jinzhao raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "If you don't remove the roots, the grass will grow again in the spring breeze."

"Okay. What are you going to do next?"

"You nobles tend to forget things, so you may not know that Zhou Hongda has a brother-in-law named Wang Tianci."
