Chapter 1307 - You’re So Wise

But look at Lu Man. She was still a new student at the school when she brought Zheng Yuan and her other friends to meet Han Zhuoli.

Although Lu Man was not here physically, the slap of truth resounded so loudly.

Zhuang Tingting’s face paled and purpled before she turned around and went back to her dormitory.

***

Lu Dongliu was having a gathering with his production team, drinking beer and barbecuing meat in a small restaurant.

In that noisy restaurant, there hung a television, and it was playing the live-stream of the film festival award ceremony.

Chi Xingrui was facing the TV, and when he spotted Han Zhuoli with Lu Man, he couldn’t help but spit out his mouthful of beer.

Spraying the whole table.

Lu Dongliu: “...”

“Director Lu, look! Look at the TV!” Chi Xingrui’s hands were shaking from shock. Pointing at the TV, he stammered, “It’s Lu... Lu Lu Lu Lu...”

“Lu what?” Lu Dongliu sat with his back facing the television, but he did manage to catch that Lu Man had won the Best Newcomer Award. “I knew she won the Best Newcomer Award. She deserves it, in my opinion.”

“It’s not that. She and Han... Han Han...” Chi Xingrui was so startled he couldn’t even form a complete sentence.

Their colleagues at the side were dumbfounded. “Di Di Di... Director Lu...”

“What’s wrong with you all? Cat got your tongues?” Lu Dongliu pursed his lips, turning leisurely to look at the TV.

“Plunk!”

Everyone turned around to be greeted with the sight of Lu Dongliu falling off his chair.

Oh sh*t!

Lu Man and Han Zhuoli!

Lu Man’s current popularity had yet to reach its peak.

The grandpas and uncles who frequent this small restaurant had no idea who she was, and who Han Zhuoli was, even less so.

The few youngsters beside their tables, on the other hand, were surprised. “My gosh! Lu Man and Han Zhuoli! Lu Man’s too surprising!”

“Goodness, with Han Zhuoli! Didn’t Han Zhuoli announced that he’s married?”

“Stup*d! Don’t you understand? His wife’s Lu Man! Lu Man also said before that she’s married!”

“D*mn, that means Lu Man’s gonna dominate the entertainment industry in the future, doesn’t it?”

“No need to wait, she already does!”

“I suddenly feel bad for those who made trouble for Lu Man. Don’t know if they’re regretting their choices now or not.”

“Regret? More likely trembling from fear. That’s actually Han Zhuoli.”

“My god...” Chi Xingrui finally stopped stuttering, though he still looked shell-shocked. “Director Lu, you’re so wise!”

Everyone else nodded, feeling lucky to have escaped a possible future ordeal. “Luckily you treated Lu Man courteously and even chose to give up Liang Chengbing for her. Our program might have been ruined otherwise.”

“Now that you mentioned Liang Chengbing, I think he’s gonna be ruined.”

“Regardless of whether Han Zhuoli intervened or not, this time around, Liang Chengbing didn’t have any awards. He was not even nominated.”

Lu Dongliu portrayed his mixed emotions. “I merely thought that Lu Man has a bright future and wanted to do her a favor. Who knew that she was actually Han Zhuoli’s wife? This lass has such a huge backer but never boasted of it even once. She’s too low-key.”

“Heh, who knows how many people fell into a trap because of her modesty?” Chi Xingrui’s words reminded everyone of Xing Ke Station.

Chief Hu was watching the news at home, not the least bit interested in the award ceremony. He would just watch the news after the ceremony ended to know who won what award so that he could decide on who to invite for the next program at Xing Ke Station. That was it.
