Lu Huai nodded, satisfied with Pei Xin’s answer.

Lu Huai was worried that Pei Xin would feel guilty towards Lu Li. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He had deliberately mentioned the difficult situation in front of Pei Xin just now to see her reaction and whether she would be willing to deal with Lu Li.

Pei Xin’s answer did not disappoint him.

From this moment on, Lu Huai truly treated Pei Xin as a comrade who could advance and retreat together in war.

“Do we still need celebrities from the entertainment company to help sell the goods?” Lu Huai asked Pei Xin.

Pei Xin shook her head. “There’s no need.”

Lu Huai raised his eyebrows. “Oh? Was it because Meng Tian didn’t perform well last time?”

Pei Xin did not want to badmouth others in front of Lu Huai. She avoided the main topic and said, “I’ve already asked my people to do some market research. My popularity is now higher than other celebrities, so I don’t need any more celebrities from your side. They have their things to focus on. If we ask them to join in at the last minute, they will need to remember a lot of the product’s characteristics to help sell the product. It will take too long to train them. Hiring a professional will do.”

Lu Huai raised his eyebrows.

Although Pei Xin did not say it explicitly, Lu Huai still understood.

What Pei Xin meant was that Meng Tian had not memorized the selling points of the products during the livestream, nor did she remember the words to say during the livestream.

To put it simply, Meng Tian’s work ethic was very unprofessional.

Lu Huai nodded. “I understand. In the future, I’ll check in advance on my end when selecting celebrities. If anyone doesn’t remember their lines properly according to the guidelines given, you can come to me. The company signed them and spent money on them, not to spoil them. If they can’t even do the most basic dedication showing gratitude to us, then the resources that belong to them can be given to other artists.”

Pei Xin understood what Lu Huai meant. If she needed a capable celebrity in the future, she could look for Lu Huai.

If a celebrity did not cooperate with her work, she could tell him and he would immediately ban the celebrity.

Pei Xin was very satisfied with Lu Huai’s attitude.

Both sides got the answers they wanted, and the trust between them deepened.

After Pei Xin left, Liu Yan entered the office.

“What was she doing here?” Liu Yan asked Lu Huai curiously. “There’s been a lot of talks between you and her online. Shouldn’t the two of you keep your distance?”

“Why do you think so?” Lu Huai glanced at him coldly. “It’s their business how they want to think of us. If they change their decision based on gossip, then so be it. Moving forward, take note that our company will fully cooperate with Pei Xin for future events. You will be in charge of this matter. You will be attending to whatever Pei Xin needs.”

“Alright, understood.” Liu Yan resigned to his fate.

Liu Yan handed a stack of documents to Lu Huai and his expression became serious. “This is the information about Lu Li’s company that I just found out. This company was founded by Lu Li and Pei Yu. The money Lu Li used was given to him by your father.”

Lu Huai nodded with an indifferent expression. “I can see that. Put the documents on the table. You may leave.”

Liu Yan looked a little conflicted. He didn’t know if he should comfort Lu Huai or feign ignorance.

After all, Lu Yu was also Lu Huai’s father. Undoubtedly, it was clear that Lu Yu was biased towards Lu Li.

Now, he was even helping Lu Li set up a company to compete with Lu Huai.

It was rare for a father to be so heavily biased.

Lu Huai saw that Liu Yan hadn’t left. He raised his eyes and his gaze turned sharp. “Why are you still here? Are you expecting me to pour you some tea before you leave?”

“No, no, I’ll leave now.” Liu Yan shook his head hurriedly.

Pei Xin returned to her company after negotiating the terms with Lu Huai and prepared to carry out the event.

What she didn’t know was that when she went to look for Lu Huai, someone had sneakily taken photos of her. Some of them were taken downstairs, while others were taken when she entered Lu Huai’s office.

These photos were posted online, causing some people to ridicule her. The netizens felt that she was just trying to curry favor with Lu Huai.

The people in Lu Huai’s company knew about the real situation. They understood that Pei Xin wanted to continue to work with Lu Huai, which was why they interacted frequently. However, these people had no intention of standing up for Pei Xin.

Lu Huai was very popular among the female employees in the company. Many people hoped to become Lu Huai’s girlfriend.. If Pei Xin kept her distance from Lu Huai because of the public opinion, then their chances of becoming Lu Huai’s girlfriend would increase!
