Chapter 2444: Meeting
Several advertisers he was talking to sent him messages.
She asked him what was going on with Mr Entertainment’s post on Weibo. If they could not settle it properly, they would cancel their cooperation with Cheng Lin.
Brother Wang immediately went to look at Mr Entertainment’s Weibo.
Mr Entertainment listed the interactions between An Rui and Cheng Lin that the media had captured in the past two years.
They had only interacted three times.
It was her first time at the entrance of the city. The sun was very bright that day and An Rui was talking to the staff when Cheng Lin suddenly walked over and held an umbrella over her head.
An Rui looked at Cheng Lin strangely.
The second time on a sports variety show, according to the rules of the program, girls had to pass water to boys. An Rui followed the requirements and passed water to Cheng Lin, but after passing the water, she immediately turned and left.
The third time was today’s red carpet.
After Cheng Lin became popular, his fans felt that girls wanted to throw themselves at him whenever they interacted with him.
However, when Entertainment King’s Weibo came out, every video accurately analyzed their micro-expressions at that time and the netizens suddenly understood.
How was this An Rui throwing herself at Cheng Lin? It was Cheng Lin who wanted to flirt with An Rui but did not succeed!
Cheng Lin had also finished reading Entertainment Man’s Weibo and his handsome face darkened.
“Brother Wang, should I post an aggrieved face on Weibo?”
If he only sent an aggrieved emoji and did not send any words, it would make his fans think that he had suffered and would attack him even more strongly!
Before Brother Wang could say anything, he suddenly received a call from the boss of the entertainment company.
After the call, Brother Wang’s expression changed.
Cheng Lin asked, “Brother Wang, what’s wrong?”
“Make a Weibo post and apologize to An Rui.”
Cheng Lin widened his eyes in disbelief. “Brother Wang, what are you talking about? I’m apologizing to An Rui?”
“That’s right. Although you’re popular now, it’s only a flash in the pan without the company’s support.” Brother Wang stood up and patted Cheng Lin’s shoulder. “If you don’t post it, just wait to receive the termination letter.”
Cheng Lin was speechless.
Why should he apologize to a small celebrity?
Cheng Lin felt incredulous and extremely angry.
He had asked around about An Rui. She had no background or company and could be stepped on by anyone if she fought alone.
Such a transparent person was not worthy of his apology!
….
When An Rui was in the film studio some time ago, apart from singing, she would also enter the crew occasionally if there were suitable scenes for her.
However, the people who entered the team were all maidservants.
Although it was a small role, she acted it very seriously every time.
She did not have an agency and only had her assistant, Xiaohe, by her side.
“Sister Ruirui, I’ve already found a house for you.” Xiaohe handed the key to An Rui. “You can set up a password. It’s the top floor of Building A, Redbud Garden, 3020.”
An Rui took the keys. “Thank you.”
“Sister Ruirui, we’re going to Ming’an Company to try out their new mobile game spokesperson tomorrow. I’ll pick you up at eight in the morning.”
“Okay.”
When they arrived at Bauhinia Court, An Rui took the elevator up.
When she arrived at the new apartment, An Rui looked around.
The interior was fresh and clean, suitable for living alone.
Xiaohe had already brought her luggage over. An Rui hung her clothes in the wardrobe and took a nightgown to take a bath.
Halfway through, the lights suddenly dimmed and everything fell into darkness.
Two years ago, her family went bankrupt and her father was hiding from debt. Her mother had depression and could not bear the huge pressure and slit her wrist in the middle of the night.
At that time, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. An Rui felt uneasy and ran to her mother’s room, only to get stained with blood.
She was shocked at that time. Fortunately, her mother had saved her life in time.
The past two years with her father, her mother’s condition had improved a little.
But that incident had left an indelible psychological trauma on An Rui.
She could not stay in the dark space alone, nor could she fall asleep in the night of lightning and thunder.
An Rui’s face was pale. She touched the towel, wiped her body and put on the nightgown.
She walked out in the dark.
The phone on the bed rang.
“Sister Ruirui, I forgot to tell you that the estate management has notified that there will be a blackout from ten to eleven o’clock. I’ve prepared candles in the TV cabinet drawer, remember to light them.”
An Rui tightened her grip on her phone. Not wanting Xiaohe to worry, she hummed.
An Rui turned on the flashlight on her phone and walked toward the living room.
She had just walked to the living room when a flash of light suddenly appeared in the sky, followed by a loud explosion.
An Rui was so frightened that her phone fell to the ground.
Her mind was blank and she staggered towards the door.
Opening the door, she was like a headless fly, not knowing where she was going.
The elevator had a power reserve so she could go downstairs. Following the faint light, she ran toward the elevator.
At this moment, the elevator door opened.
A tall figure walked out of the elevator.
An Rui looked down, her body tense. She did not notice the person coming out and rushed towards the elevator.
She accidentally bumped into the person who had walked out.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” An Rui’s anxious voice was trembling and uneasy.
An Rui avoided the man, wanting to enter the elevator.
However, she had only taken two steps when someone grabbed her slender arm.
An unfamiliar and familiar elegant voice sounded above her head. “An Rui?”
An Rui blinked. Because her mind was blank and tense, she could not remember who was calling her.
Her slender body trembled slightly.
Seeming to have sensed her fear, the man took off his jacket and quickly put it on her.
“An Rui, I’m Zhou Li. Do you remember me?”
There was a trace of gentleness in his cold voice, like a warm spring breeze in March.
An Rui’s thoughts froze for a few seconds, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly as she slowly looked up at the man standing in front of her.
The dim yellow lights in the corridor fell on him, as if it was unreal.
An Rui’s eyes slowly landed on the man whose face was slowly becoming clearer.
She froze slightly.
After that face that she had not seen for a long time became clear, An Rui felt that it was unreal.
He had shed the immaturity from four years ago and was wearing a white shirt and tailored pants. He was not as thin as before, but he still looked thin and long. Under his soft short hair, his clean and handsome face was angular. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and had the appearance of a man.
The only thing that had not changed was the scholarly and reserved aura exuding from his bones.
“Senior Zhou?” An Rui could not feel any fear for a moment. She was immersed in the shock of suddenly meeting Zhou Li.
It was such a coincidence to meet him here!
“When did you return?” She did not know at all!
