I'm Pregnant with the Villain's Child

Chapter 217 – Meeting the young director (1)

“Go do what you want. If you make a profit, it’s all yours. If you lose, it’ll count as my money that’s lost.”

Ye Zhen furrowed her brow. Her heart felt a touch of sourness. She didn’t want to admit that she felt touched. “Why are you so good to me?”

Lu Beichuan just vaguely said, “I believe in your vision.”

Holding that seemingly heavy check, Ye Zhen didn’t know what to say. All sorts of feelings had welled up in her heart.

“What’s wrong?”

Ye Zhen thought of the strange coincidences that led up to this point. “If I had obstinately clung to the idea of leaving you back then or if I had insisted on aborting Zhouzhou, would you still treat me so well?”

Lu Beichuan stared at her. “Did something happen?”

“It’s nothing. I just saw You Jing expressing his feelings to Meng Jie today at the parking lot when I was outside. He blacklisted her for four years. She’s something that he’ll never get. He threatened me too. CEO Lu, if it was you...”

Lu Beichuan slightly furrowed his brow and looked at Ye Zhen with narrowed eyes. “What did You Jing say to you?”

“... It wasn’t anything serious. Just that I would lose all my money if I step foot into the entertainment industry. Don’t worry about it though. By the time I make buckets of money, he’ll have already lost it all.” Ye Zhen was extremely curious. “If I wouldn’t give up on leaving with Zhouzhou back then, what would you have done? Would you have imprisoned me?”

Lu Beichuan found her question amusing. He really wanted to know what Ye Zhen was thinking about all day to think of this question. “Don’t let your imagination run wild. If there’s nothing else, go rest. Let’s go home together when I’m done with work.”

Ye Zhen shrugged and quietly said, “Overbearing CEO.”

Lu Beichuan lowered his head. His smile deepened.

***

Early next morning, right after Lu Beichuan stepped into office, he received an entertainment circle news from the PR Department. On the top, there was a photo of Ye Qing coming out of Heaven on Earth. She was smiling and chatting with the person next to her.

Everyone knew who was in the photo, but the headline of that tabloid was: Is it the older sister or the younger sister entering and leaving Heaven on Earth late at night?

This ambiguous title let one’s imagination roam.

Lu Beichuan was unhappy as soon as he saw this news. He called Qin Zhiyin into this office.

“First, deal with this matter immediately. You don’t need to tell me about this type of news in the future. The PR Department should autonomously deal with it. Second, I don’t want to see Ye Zhen’s name appearing in newspapers, magazines, or online. I don’t want to see any media mentioning Ye Zhen in the same breath as Ye Qing either. Third, contact Ye Qing’s agency and get them to put restrictions on their actress’s conduct.”

“Okay, got it.”

Qin Zhiyin had noticed there were a lot of recent news about Ye Zhen and Ye Qing posted online. Those two looked identical, and the reporters insisted on referring to Ye Qing as Ye Zhen on the grounds that no one could tell them apart. If Ye Zhen or Ye Qing came forward to declare the reporter was wrong, the pertinent media could shirk responsibility by saying that it was a case of mistaken identity.

However, Qin Zhiyin had a wealth of experience in handling online entertainment circle incidents. She was now working in Lu Corporation, and she was like a fish going back to water when it came to handling this sort of thing.

Thus, this specific entertainment circle report was hastily deleted by the pertinent media two hours later. At the same time, all of the online negative news about Ye Zhen was also deleted.

But at this moment, Ye Zhen had no idea about any of that stuff. She was on her way to meet the young director, Ning Yang, after Meng Jie had invited her.

Ning Yang was there before them. She didn’t know how long he had been waiting.

“Director Ning, sorry to keep you waiting.” Ye Zhen smiled as she put her hand forward to shake hands with him.

Meng Jie was also smiling as she introduced Ye Zhen, “Ning Yang, this is Ye Zhen. I mentioned her to you before.”

Ning Yang hastily smiled and got up to shake hands with Ye Zhen when he saw her.

Ning Yang looked young. He was dressed professionally in a suit. When he smiled, he looked loyal and honest, but he avoided looking Ye Zhen in the eye. Ye Zhen deduced that he might be feeling inferior.

In the novel, one of the reasons why Ning Yang had given up on being an actor was due to his height. It hadn’t been obvious when he was sitting, but once he stood up, Ye Zhen finally understood. She roughly estimated that he was under 1.6 meters.

“Hello Miss Ye.”

After the two finished shaking hands, they sat down, and Ye Zhen got right to the point.

“Director Ning, let’s dispense with formalities. I presume that you’ve already heard from Miss Meng that I want to invest in your latest work on behalf of Lu Corporation. Have you seriously considered this matter yet?”
