Chapter 329 - Three-Hundred and Twenty-Nine: Plan
Lu Hui pushed her glasses up. “Miss An, are you saying that we should secretly make preparations for Yun Nan’s wedding and only tell her about it when the time comes? Um… Won’t that be more of a scare than a surprise?”
Shi Xiu punched her palm excitedly. “That’s brilliant! Miss An! I think your idea is simply fantastic! We’ll work together to hide this from my sister-in-law so she won’t be nervous about the wedding and have it affect her work. With so many of us, Yun Nan doesn’t have to worry about a small matter like her wedding at all. Isn’t that right, everyone?”
Everyone agreed.
“Yeah!”
“That’s right! That’s right!”
Shi Xiu stared at the strained-looking Lu Hui and patted her shoulder. “Hey,
Lulu, what’s with that expression? You’re not planning to be a traitor, are you? Keep this quiet, or I’ll execute you on the spot!”
Lu Hui adjusted her glasses and said with a straight face, “Then, shouldn’t you give me some hush money if you want to buy my silence? I won’t ask for much either; just be more cooperative when we’re filming the interviews and control your temper!”
Shi Xiu pushed Lu Hui’s forehead with her index finger and uttered through gritted teeth, “Did you secretly become Liang Han’s disciple? When did you learn all of his skills at ripping people off?”
Lu Hui pushed her glasses up and huffily replied, “He’s not anywhere near qualified to be my master! Just tell me, yes or no! If the answer is no, I’ll go straight to President Yun right now!”
Everyone else laughed as they watched the two girls bicker like children. Shi Xiu took a deep breath and stated, “Alright, alright, you win! I’ll behave myself and control my temper! However, we have to write down an agreement: You can’t betray us. There’ll be punishment if you violate that. As for the punishment… Hmm, I’ll need to think about that carefully!”
“Alright!” Lu Hui agreed readily. “That’s fine with me. I’ll even give you an extra condition: I can be in charge of the overall planning of the wedding. You guys need someone to help plan the wedding, don’t you? That’s my specialty!”
Shi Xiu placed her hands on her hips and commented, “Huh, I think you must have caught something from Liang Han! You’re even talking like him! Alright!
Yes, we need someone like you to coordinate and make overall arrangements! That settles it, then!”
Lu Hui’s lips curled in disdain, saying, “Who would want to catch something from him? I’d rather drink poison instead.”
Kong Zhen’s eyes never left Lu Hui. ‘ This girl is really interesting,’ she thought. ‘ Come to think ofit, her way of doing things truly is similar to Liang Han’s.
However, when Liang Han schemed against others, anyone who’s experienced or familiar with Liang Han would be able to see through it, whereas this girl is really superb at playing dumb.’
The more Kong Zhen observed her, the more Lu Hui grew on Kong Zhen. After that, Lu Hui didn’t waste a single minute. She swiftly listed out the entire wedding preparation process, including the parts that Lu Ying hadn’t completed yet, and even arranged them in order in passing. Her hand-drawn flowchart was neat and clear.
Lu Ying praised, “Wow, this kid is amazing. Looking at this chart, I can see that I still have a few important things to do, but with how she arranged them, I have a clear idea of my time schedule! Not bad!”
“Thank you so much, Lulu,” Xu Yun said. “This flowchart of yours is so clear.” Seeing how skillful she is, Kong Zhen’s liking for Lu Hui instantly increased several levels.
Yun Nan, kept in the dark, was chatting with Yan Tang—the has-been singer who’d participated in ‘Embracing Life—in the meeting room.
Yan Tang’s smile was slightly bitter as she remarked, “If it were in the past, I never would’ve imagined that there would be a day when I could calmly sit down and expose my feelings to the world. I would rather die.”
Yun Nan smiled. “Was Shi Xiu the one who changed your mind?”
Yan Tang shook her head gently. “Yes, and no. When I first met her, I felt we were people from two different worlds. She was a rich girl who never knew the world’s suffering. How could someone like that understand the hardships we’ve suffered since we were young?”
She continued, “After I spent some time with her, I realized that everyone suffers their fair share in this world; everyone has their own difficulties, and there’s no way to compare them. I’m even more certain of this when I later learn about your life stories from her.”
Yun Nan nodded in agreement. “No one has it easy. Only by living your life well can you not have any regrets. You’re letting your life down if you keep dwelling in one state. Looking back now, do you find that you can face your pasts calmly?”
Yan Tang nodded. “Thank you! I think I can set off on my life again.”
Yun Nan reached out to shake her hand. “I look forward to working with you!”
After everyone reached an agreement, there was a secretive air in Yun Innovations. Everyone became busier, but they all had cheerful smiles on their faces. Seeing how hard they were working, Fang Xi went to the coffee shop down the street on her crutches, wanting to buy some drinks for everyone. “Fang Xi!” A tall figure suddenly called out and rushed over, startling Fang Xi.
Fang Xi narrowed her eyes..
