The matter of "the murder case of a worker in a factory under Star River" came to an end with the company's clarification.
Ning Anmiao always felt that something was off, but she couldn't recall what she had missed.
"Is there anything left unfinished about the previous incident?"
During the lunch break, Ning Anmiao took the opportunity to ask Lu Yan.
Lu Yan didn't have the habit of taking a lunch break. His eyes were still fixed on the screen. After hearing her question, he looked up at her. "What problem hasn't been solved?"
All the lawsuits that needed to be fought had been fought, all the compensations that needed to be paid had been paid clearly, and all the psychologists that needed to be found had been found.
What other problem could there be?
"I remember you said at that time that someone had bought that worker's life?"
Ning Anmiao voiced her inner doubt. "But you haven't told me who wanted to buy that worker's life."
"Did the other party do this because they have a grudge against Star River?"
Lu Yan looked at her intently. "You only remember to ask about this after the lawsuit is over."
Ning Anmiao: …
She really hadn't paid much attention to these things. Since Lu Yan promised her that he would find a suitable psychologist for Zhou Yan, she had almost forgotten about this matter.
She just suddenly remembered it today.
"A lawsuit? With which company?"
"Yunyun." Lu Yan casually mentioned a name. "Currently, they are in competition with Star River in several production lines and for resources."
Yunyun?
Ning Anmiao felt like she was familiar with the name.
As is well - known, there are two major companies in Shanghai, Star River and Yunyun.
The two companies were established one after another. Yunyun was established first and was initially booming. However, after Star River emerged, the market was divided, and almost half of the resources were taken away.
It wasn't that Yunyun wasn't strong enough; it was just that Star River was too dominant and overbearing, which was really helpless.
It also made people gnash their teeth in hatred.
If these two companies were to clash, it would be like a fight between gods.
"Is this Yunyun the second choice the cooperation partner mentioned besides Star River when you asked me to negotiate with them about signing artists on the first day we swapped bodies?"
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. "Your memory is quite good."
These artists were new - wave artists, all full of potential. Star River had set its sights on this group of people early on, but unexpectedly, Yunyun also had the same idea.
"This Yunyun is really a bandit." Ning Anmiao curled her lips. In her heart, she had already given the boss of Yunyun a zero score. "They always do these underhanded things. The company won't last long."
"Their boss is so petty. This company will go bankrupt sooner or later."
Listening to Ning Anmiao's muttering, Lu Yan curved his lips.
"You know the boss of Yunyun."
"I know?" Ning Anmiao was stunned. She looked up into his eyes. "Who is it?"
The blankness in her eyes was so cute that Lu Yan never got tired of looking at it.
"I've made an appointment with the boss of Yunyun for dinner tonight to talk about a cooperation. Oh, by the way, it's in the name of Lu Yan." Lu Yan waved his phone. "Please go there in person."
"Then you'll know who the boss of Yunyun is."
Lu Yan said calmly, "I'll go with you too. The three of us can catch up."
Catch up.
It seemed that it was really an old friend.
Ning Anmiao unconsciously glanced at Lu Yan. She felt a bit uncertain.
Who on earth was this old friend?
---
In the evening, when they arrived at the reserved restaurant and saw that familiar face, Ning Anmiao suddenly had an epiphany.
It turned out that the boss of Yunyun was Lin Chuluo.
He was dressed in casual clothes, with a gentle look on his face. He waved at the two of them. "Over here."
Ning Anmiao's feet froze on the spot.
The boss of Yunyun...
She looked back in shock and then looked up at Lin Chuluo, who was sitting not far away with a kind smile on his face. She tried to keep her expression calm.
But in Ning Anmiao's heart, a storm had already arisen.
Lin Chuluo.
Back then, he and Lu Yan were the two male gods. They not only had outstanding looks but also comparable academic achievements.
Although they were both male gods, their personalities were very different.
One was cold and aloof, while the other was gentle to others.
More importantly, the three of them were good friends during their college years.
Really good friends.
How come after just a few years, Lu Yan and Lin Chuluo had become business rivals?
It was hard for her to accept this fact for a while.
...
"Thank you both for coming all the way. It must have been tiring." Lin Chuluo smiled slightly, looking elegant. "It was my oversight to inform you to come to this dinner at such short notice."
"Since the two of you got married, I haven't really invited you two out for a meal."
Lin Chuluo was still the same male god as before. His words and actions were all graceful. The girls at the next table in the restaurant were completely captivated.
Many people deliberately walked past their table just to take a look at Lin Chuluo.
"How have you been lately?"
Lin Chuluo's voice was very pleasant, like a noble and heavy classical piano, melodious and gentle. "I haven't heard much about Miaomiao in the past two years."
At this time, "Ning Anmiao" looked up and saw Lin Chuluo's affectionate eyes fixed on her.
There was something off about this look.
"Ning Anmiao" coughed a few times and said in a calm tone, "I've been quite busy after getting married. I've been a full - time designer at home."
"On the other hand, you took over your family's Yunyun right after graduation. Your ability is remarkable."
These were just some polite words in business cooperation from Lu Yan, but Lin Chuluo smiled slightly. "Miaomiao, you really think too highly of me. But thank you for your compliment. I'll take it."
"Lu Yan has also been very outstanding in the past two years."
He turned to look at "Lu Yan", and his eyes were less gentle than before. "Everyone has grown up. I can hardly recognize you anymore."
Ning Anmiao thought to herself that the one who had changed the most should be Lin Chuluo.
The three of them were sitting at the same table, but the atmosphere wasn't relaxed. Instead, there was an awkwardness that made it hard to have an appetite.
After three rounds of drinks, Lin Chuluo picked up his glass again. His gentle eyes fell on "Ning Anmiao".
"Miaomiao, by the time I heard the news of your marriage, you had been married for a long time." After saying this, he lowered his head and smiled. "I didn't have time to send my blessings."
"Happy wedding, Miaomiao."
"Ning Anmiao" tightened her face. Looking at the wine that the other person had offered, she silently picked up the tea beside her.
"I'll use tea instead of wine. I also wish you all the best and a promising future."
As soon as she finished speaking, "Ning Anmiao" raised her head and drank all the tea in one gulp. Then she quickly shifted her gaze.
Lin Chuluo's glass hadn't touched "Miaomiao"'s glass yet. It was still held in mid - air, looking a bit awkward and stiff.
"All the best..." Lin Chuluo repeated. The curve of his lips was very nice. "Okay, thank you, Miaomiao. I'll work hard."
As soon as he finished speaking, he also put down his glass and drank it all in one go.
