First, the funds were delayed, and then the people for the project they negotiated suddenly changed their minds. Now there were countless rumors in the studio that the Gu family was in dire straits and the studio couldn’t be guaranteed.
After waiting for a few days without a call from Gu Shaoyu, Shen Weiwei finally couldn’t sit still and took the initiative to call him.
Gu Shaoyu was speechless for a moment. Overlooking the night view of the entire city from a high altitude, he felt small and powerless. Countless frustrations sprang.
“Weiwei, I’m sorry, the studio… I may not be able to take care of it for the time being.”
“What the hell happened?”
“Something happened to Gu’s family and Grandpa was hospitalized again. I’m really not sure I can support the Gu family.”
He was really a useless waste.
If Grandpa’s grandson was Lu Lixing, Gu would definitely be able to get through this difficult time smoothly.
But he was Grandpa’s grandson, a waste who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun.
There was no reply on the other end of the phone for a long time.
“Weiwei? Are you there?”
“I’m here.” Shen Weiwei smiled and said, “It’s okay, come on, you have to believe in yourself. Don’t always be dejected, you can do it!””
“Weiwei, thank you for encouraging me, I’ll work hard.”
“Well, I won’t disturb your work anymore. Bye!”
Then the phone was quickly hung up.
Gu Shaoyu put his cell phone to his ear and listened quietly for a while, then breathed a deep sigh of relief, the fatigue on his face swept away.
After Shen Weiwei hung up, her smile suddenly fell. She frowned and she held the phone tightly in her hand.
She had heard of their affairs but such a large company couldn’t fall. But when she listened to Gu Shaoyu’s words, why was it as if they couldn’t get through this difficult time? If Gu’s family falls, then her studio would be gone.
Mr. Gu was hospitalized and Gu Shaoyu couldn’t afford to take on the responsibility.
Shen Weiwei reflected for a moment in silence and a message on her cell phone attracted her attention.
[Lu Liting’s Company was acquired.]
Shen Weiwei stared at the text message in a daze, her brows furrowed tightly.
***
Early the next morning, Lu Liting and Lu Lixing arrived at the company together. They stayed in the conference room for a whole-day meeting to understand the current company’s overseas business.
After understanding everything clearly, they embarked on an overseas trip with a vice president of the company in charge of foreign markets.
The vice president’s surname was Sun, currently in his fifties. He was personally promoted by Grandpa Lu to preside over the overall situation overseas, so Lu Lixing held him in high regard.
“Mr. Lu, we should board the plane in half an hour.”
Lu Liting smiled and said, “Uncle Sun doesn’t need to be so polite. Just call me Liting. I am still not qualified for this title. In the future, I will rely on you to take care of me when I am abroad.”
“From now on?”
Lu Liting smiled. “I don’t know if I will come back in the future. Let’s go.”
A few people walked to the security gate.
“Lu Liting!”
A familiar voice came from the airport amidst the bustling people.
Lu Liting looked back and saw Shen Weiwei panting, with a fine layer of sweat on her forehead.
Seeing Shen Weiwei run in front of him, Lu Liting frowned and said in astonishment, “Why are you here?”
Shen Weiwei took a big breath and after stabilizing her emotions, she said, “I’m here to see you off.”
Lu Liting was slightly lost, but after a while smiled and said, “Thank you for coming to see me off.”
Vice President Sun and several staff members on one side walked away in time to give the two of them some private space.
Shen Weiwei looked at Lu Liting. She didn’t know what to say, her expression was both restless and troubled.
“You… have a nice trip.”
Lu Liting nodded his head.
Seeing his cold attitude, Shen Weiwei gritted her teeth tightly and asked, “You’re going to the United States this time…when will you come back?”
Lu Liting smiled and sighed, looked at the airport lobby where people came and went, and looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
“I don’t know.”
“Don’t know?”
Lu Liting said, “Weiwei, I may not come back.”
Shen Weiwei’s face stiffened. “You won’t… come back, what do you mean?””
“Our business workload abroad is very heavy. Maybe after this, I will stay abroad to preside over the overall situation.“
As if finally reconciled with her, Lu Liting smiled with relief.
With a gentle attitude, he talked to her like a friend. “I haven’t helped my brother much during these years. I only realized the weight he bears alone since I founded the company. He’s about to get married… I’ll solve those overseas worries for him, so as to lessen his workload in the future, which could go on to affect the relationship between them as husband and wife.”
Shen Weiwei’s eyes glistened with suppressed tears, and her voice choked. “You… really are you not coming back?”
Lu Liting still smiled softly. “Yeah, I’m not coming back. This may be the last time we’ll ever meet.”
“Why won’t you come back?”
Lu Liting thought for a while.
Was it because he would be busy working abroad?
Maybe it’s because he didn’t want to attend Ji Qingqing’s wedding?
Or maybe… I just couldn’t stand watching them show their affection to each other.
And… staying in this country, he would inevitably look at the high-rise buildings, the familiar people around him, which would go on to remind him of his failure in life.
He didn’t really know.
So Lu Liting avoided thinking about it. He just looked at her and smiled sincerely.
“Weiwei, if you meet a man who really likes you, get married. Don’t lie to him or disappoint him. Stay with him sincerely. He will cherish you for the rest of his life.”
Shen Weiwei was stunned and did not dare to speak a word.
Lu Liting raised his hand and glanced at his watch. “It’s time for me to get on the plane, Weiwei, take care.”
After speaking, Lu Liting turned around and walked in the direction of the security checkpoint.
Shen Weiwei stood behind and looked at him blankly until she was unable to see Lu Liting’s back.
But, he didn’t even look back once.
First, the funds were delayed, and then the people for the project they negotiated suddenly changed their minds. Now there were countless rumors in the studio that the Gu family was in dire straits and the studio couldn’t be guaranteed.
After waiting for a few days without a call from Gu Shaoyu, Shen Weiwei finally couldn’t sit still and took the initiative to call him.
