His tone was filled with helplessness and indulgence, as if he had no choice but to let her have her way.
At that moment, she felt that Lu Jiangyuan in front of her was Lu Jiangyuan, her partner from the other world.
Lu Jiangyuan, the one who pulled her out of the abyss and with whom she became incredibly compatible while building a business together.
Her eyes were filled with shock, as if she had seen something unbelievable.
Lu Jiangyuan’s expression remained calm, and his voice was equally composed: “What’s wrong? Is my summary incorrect?”
Sheng Ziyou suddenly came to her senses, and a feeling of indescribable sadness and disappointment rose in her heart. If he was her partner, how could he not know that she was no longer the original Sheng Ziyou, but the person he knew?
He was not him…
Sheng Ziyou’s eyes darkened slightly, but she tried to remain calm as she said, “It’s nothing, I was just a little lost in thought.”
Lu Jiangyuan didn’t speak but nodded.
The elevator doors opened, and Sheng Ziyou smiled: “Then I’ll be going now. If Mr. Lu needs anything, please feel free to message me.”
She owed him a favor, which she naturally had to repay. He was not her partner, so she couldn’t be so unruly.
“Okay.” Lu Jiangyuan replied calmly.
Sheng Ziyou turned and left, walking quickly to her car, with Yang Yun, who had been acting as an invisible person, following closely behind.
Lu Jiangyuan watched her retreating figure, his heart clenching.
No one knew how nervous he was just now, and he couldn’t say whether he was more afraid or more expectant at that moment.
He wanted her to recognize him, but he was also afraid she would.
In the other world, after spending so many years together, Sheng Ziyou still didn’t choose him, and even expressed her own expectations for a partner, expectations that were completely opposite to his conditions.
Lu Jiangyuan thought that if she knew he was still that partner, their relationship would probably remain the same as in the other world, ending as a collaboration.
Was this what he wanted?
Of course not, he only wanted her, only her.
This was the reason for his living.
What was the purpose of life? Lu Jiangyuan didn’t know. In the other world, he had reached the pinnacle of his career, but he had no family or friends. After she left that world, he was just a walking corpse.
So… in the end, he chose the same place and the same way to die.
He was just lucky; he came into this world, and she was here.
Lu Jiangyuan thought that he had to appear before her with a new identity so that he wouldn’t revert to the relationship from his past life.
Therefore, he couldn’t let her know… that he was the Lu Jiangyuan she knew.
Lu Jiangyuan loosened his fist and told himself to take it slow; he still had a chance.
“Sister You… You’re going to record a variety show tomorrow, so you should get some rest today.” Yang Yun turned her head and saw her artist silently looking out the window.
Sheng Ziyou seemed to have just come to her senses and nodded: “Okay.”
“Sister You, is something on your mind?” Yang Yun thought for a moment and then asked.
Sheng Ziyou turned her head away, shifting her gaze from the window.
“It’s nothing.” She smiled, though nothing was visible on her pretty face, but Yang Yun knew she wasn’t happy.
Yang Yun thought for a moment and then fell silent.
My artist is a smart and clear-headed person, so I don’t need to ask her any more questions. Let her have some quiet time.
Sheng Ziyou was lost in thought, looking out the window, her gaze drifting away again.
She thought of Lu Jiangyuan, her business partner.
She had just seen a resemblance to Lu Jiangyuan in her boss; and for a moment, they were so alike.
In fact, they were all the same person, Lu Jiangyuan, with the same personality and the same upbringing.
But he wasn’t the Lu Jiangyuan she knew. They didn’t have the tacit understanding and cooperation they had developed over the years, nor the mutual support and tugging at each other’s sides.
He wasn’t the partner who pulled her out of the abyss either.
She was actually a very strong-willed person. Her career came to an abrupt end at its peak. If she could not find a new source of inspiration, her spiritual life would probably have become even more desolate.
But Lu Jiangyuan found her, gave her capital, connections, and confidence, and established a new company, allowing her to move from the forefront to behind the scenes.
Those dreams that could no longer be realized, those glories that could no longer be relived, she led those artists and walked back up again.
Although she worked behind the scenes, she felt a great sense of accomplishment seeing the people she mentored rise to such high positions.
So even though those years were tiring, she managed to keep her spiritual life fulfilling and didn’t break down.
She was grateful to him, and the only way she could repay him was to earn more money for him.
In the past, whenever they worked together, she would think, “We’re both alone, why don’t we just try with each other?”
She didn’t mind his indifference, and he shouldn’t mind her facial imperfections.
That thought did really cross her mind, which was why she said she wanted to quit and live a free and unrestrained life.
Then Lu Jiangyuan brought Chen Yingjia to her, and there were some things he didn’t say again.
Her feelings for Lu Jiangyuan were already complicated. Since he had a suitable partner, why should they compromise and live together?
She dismissed the thought, but the desire to completely retire from the world remained.
Several years of working as a talent agent had worn away much of her attachment to the industry, and she was now willing to step into another world and live a different life.
Unfortunately… before she could retire, she was in a car accident and came into this world.
Even after becoming Sheng Ziyou, she was still happy, because what she preferred most in life was flowers and applause.
Sheng Ziyou shook her head, pulling herself out of her past thoughts, and pursed her lips, revealing a smile.
What’s past is past, don’t dwell on it. She should cherish the opportunities she had now and focus on her own path.
Earning more money was a way of repaying a debt of gratitude.
Sheng Ziyou smiled, her eyes gradually clearing, the sunlight from the window shining on her face, making her look breathtakingly beautiful.
Beside her, Yang Yun murmured, “Sister You…you’re so beautiful…”
Sheng Ziyou turned her head and smiled brightly and beautifully: “Silly Yun Yun.”
Yang Yun blushed.
After returning to the production team, Sheng Ziyou did not rush to rest, but instead held a meeting with Fu Jiahuan, Lin Yidong, Jing Xianglei, and Fan Jiaxu.
“We have news from Ji Ran. He needs to stay in the hospital for two more days of observation and will probably be back the day after tomorrow. Gu Yuzheng is planning to go with him.” Sheng Ziyou was standing; she was wearing high heels, so it wasn’t easy for her to sit down.
“Is he really alright? Can he come back?” Lin Yidong asked with concern, his eyes filled with worry.
Sheng Ziyou smiled and nodded: “Yes, fortunately there are still a few days before the performance after he comes back, so he can practice some more.”
Their group wasn’t particularly worried about this. And Jing Xianglei said, “Our group has already rehearsed. Brother Jiaxu and I haven’t practiced our songs yet, so we’ll take advantage of these two days to practice singing and catch up with everyone else.”
“I’m not a very good dancer, so I’ll practice these next few days,” Lin Yidong said with a smile.
The trainees in this group were actually quite good…
They were very considerate of their teammates. If it were the other two groups, Sheng Ziyou couldn’t guarantee that some trainees would be as considerate to their teammates.
“I’m also leaving tomorrow to record a show, and I’ll be back the day after tomorrow,” she said with a smile.
It was quite a coincidence that the recording time for the variety show that Zhao Jing accepted happened to coincide with the two days that Ji Ran was taking a break.
“What show is it?” Fu Jiahuan asked gossipingly.
Sheng Ziyou shook her head, not bothering to hide it: “Come on, let’s take on the challenge.”
“Wow! I used to love watching this show!!” Lin Yidong exclaimed excitedly. Fu Jiahuan and the others nodded, clearly having watched the show as well.
This variety show had been filmed for several seasons and could be said to be the most popular variety show on mainland TV. No other variety show could match its ratings.
The regular guests were all very talented and famous, and… Qu Feng, the director, was one of them.
The guest stars were more varied, but if they were not going for a film or movie promotion, they would invite popular or most popular celebrities.
Sheng Ziyou certainly knew why she was invited; after all… she had been trending on social media quite a bit recently.
“Go, Teacher Sheng!”
“Alright, alright, you guys keep it up too. Don’t slack off just because the team leader and I aren’t here, you hear me?” Sheng Ziyou said helplessly.
“We heard that—” the four of them said in unison.
Sheng Ziyou shook her head: “Alright, I’m going back now. You guys practice hard.”
Goodbye, Teacher Sheng!
Sheng Ziyou smiled and quickly left in her high heels.
