Chapter 057
Luo Ru had been waiting in the lounge for a long time when Ming Yu returned.
These past two days, Zhao Rui had been busy at CX Entertainment. After all, Ming Yu would formally be filming soon, so there were many things that needed to be confirmed. Zhao Rui was temporarily unable to leave. As Ming Yu’s assistant, Luo Ru was naturally always with Ming Yu.
Ming Yu noticed Luo Ru’s expression as soon as he entered through the door and originally didn’t intend to explain anything. However, when he saw Luo Ru’s ‘As expected, I knew it wasn’t that simple. Why would Xi Ze choose a toilet without paper’ expression, Ming Yu became very worried. If he didn’t say anything, Luo Ru would suspect that Xi Ze was his (…..).
“Don’t think about it too much. I have some relationship with Xi Ze. It isn’t as simple as what I explained to Zhao Rui, but we really are just friends.”
While Shen Xiang and Xu Wenshu had been talking, Ming Yu had arranged the information. Now he handed it all to Luo Ru and said, “This is some information about recent good movie and television roles. Sister Luo, I hope you can gather detailed information about them tomorrow and arrange it for me.”
Luo Ru took the papers and read it in a low voice, “Male number two in the movie ‘The Gauntlet’…”
Her voice stopped abruptly and Luo Ru cried out, “You want to act?”
Ming Yu, “…”
This expression that said ‘How can you go into acting?’ clearly wasn’t good!
Everyone mistakenly thought he wanted to act and appeared very surprised. It happened before with Xi Ze and now Luo Ru was even worse. MIng Yu sighed softly and explained. “I’m not going to act. I am going to give this information to others.”
Luo Ru sighed with relief when Ming Yu promised not to act. She was slightly startled after hearing the second half of Ming Yu’s words and suddenly had a htought.
Luo Ru was a smart person. She looked at the information on the A4 paper… although the words were like a dog’s writing — Ming Yu’s signature was very good while his writing was — in any case, the information recorded was very comprehensive.
Luo Ru laughed, “Do you intend to give the arranged information to Lu Zhenxi?” She didn’t give Ming Yu a chance to speak as she speculated, “If I guessed right, perhaps Lu Zhenxi missing his job is really related to you and not a coincidence. Therefore, you want to make it up to him by giving him this information.”
Astonishment filled Ming Yu’s eyes and he looked strangely at Luo Ru.
Luo Ru waved her hand and laughed. “Sure enough, I guessed right. You are really…”
“Sister Luo, I think you are misunderstanding me.”
“You really want to give…eh? Misunderstanding?”
The bright sunshine shone through the clean glass, illuminating the laugh of the youth who revealed his white teeth. The laughter was harmless, but Luo Ru was startled by the next question, “Sister Luo, did Lu Zhenxi help me?” ”
Luo Ru stared blankly. “No…he didn’t.”
Ming Yu continued, “Didn’t he act badly towards me? He disliked me and even once wanted to bully me.”
Luo Ru thought for a moment and earnestly nodded.
After receiving confirmation from the other side, the youth smiled exquisitely as he helpless waved his head. “Then Sister Luo, why should I help him? I’m not a bad person but I’m also not a saint. Returning evil with goodness isn’t my policy. Xi Ze is the one who deprived Lu Zhenxi of opportunities, not me. I didn’t persecute him, so why should I lend him a helping hand?”
Luo Ru wanted to refute the youth, but her words were stuck in her throat.
It was because she found that this youth didn’t say anything wrong!
Ming Yu didn’t persecute Lu Zhenxi, and Lu Zhenxi was the one who immediately took the initiative to provoke Ming Yu. Even just before, Lu Zhenxi had looked resentfully at Ming Yu, completely unable to conceal his inner jealousy and hatred.
Luo Ru recalled Lu Xhenxi’s ferocious emotions hidden under the calm appearance and thought, ‘If Lu Zhenxi has a chance for revenge, he will definitely do it without hesitation. He will use all types of means to crush Ming Yu!’
“Sister Luo, I don’t owe Lu Zhenxi and he is still treating me as an enemy. Why should I want to help my enemy? It isn’t my rule in life.”
Listening to this, Luo Ru finally understood Ming Yu’s meaning.
Ming Yu wasn’t wrong for not helping Lu Zhenxi. This thing, it was 99% a drawback and 1% harmless. Yes, it was harmful, not beneficial. A man like that wouldn’t be easily touched by ‘kindness and mercy.’ He might even become doubly resentful.
Luo Ru smiled as she thought this. “I thought wrongly.”
Ming Yu opened his arms, giving Luo Ru a light hug.
Luo Ru was astonished. This young adolescent who wasn’t yet an adult, he released her and looked at her, the handsome face showing a touch of a gentle smile. Luo Ru could only listen as Ming Yu said, “Sister Luo, you have been really good to me in the past six months. Your work is also excellent.”
Luo Ru felt cold at these words. The yough had been observing her for half a year!
Ming Yu continued. “It is a pity for you to be my assistant with these abilities. If there is a chance, I will discuss introducing you as an agent and letting you work with a model with Brother Zhao.”
“No!” Luo Ru was stunned as the word burst out of her. Then she gently smiled, “Ming Yu, I think my position right now is really good. It also lets me learn a lot of things. I am really honoured to be your assistant.”
Ming Yu smiled at the expected answer and the two people didn’t talk about their tacit understanding. Luo Ru also knew that Ming Yu originally intended to hand this information to A’Zhao.
According to Ming Yu, A’Zhao had helped him without wanted anything in return. But A’Zhao didn’t have a choice in this, as it was Ming Yu’s decision.
Luo Ru couldn’t help chuckling. “Xiaoyu, you are really clear when you love or hate someone. You do so much for A’Zhao, while your heart is as cold as the autumn leaves towards Lu Zhenxi.”
Ming Yu accepted this ‘compliment’, opening his hands and speaking helplessly, “Who told him to speculate that I was destroying his progress?”
The two people chatted for a while when Ming Yu suddenly had a thought. “Sister Luo, we shouldn’t talk about today’s matters with Brother Zhao.”
Luo Ru shuddered and nodded. “Yes, I won’t tell Brother Zhao.”
The silly and sweet Zhao Rui, “…（◇）???”
The next day, Luo Ru neatly collected the details of the two TV series and one movie role. Then Ming Yu called A’Zhao out at noon break and solemnly handed the information to him.
At first, A’Zhao jokingly said, “Why is this so mysterious?” However, he suddenly froze and stared at Ming Yu when he saw the contents.
The youth lightly smiled and said, “A’Zhao. I know that you love acting and want to walk down the path of acting. I hope you can have a good start. I was really grateful when you spoke up for me last time, so I hope these things will help you.”
A’Zhao still felt dizzy. He hesitated before asking, “Ming… Ming Yu, are you really giving this to me? I mean, you didn’t give it to A’Xue or Old Chen? Is this really good?”
Ming Yu’s lips curved, “I have given it to you. What you do with it is up to you.”
After saying this, Ming Yu turned and walked away, leaving A’Zhao who was still unsure if this was good or not.
Ming Yu didn’t ask anything else. He had done what he should. It was up to A’Zhao if he wanted to seize this opportunity for fame or regret the failure of the audience and stay an ordinary intern. These things weren’t related to Ming Yu.
Once it reached the middle of February, all of Ming Yu’s jobs came together and he formally entered a busy working perod. First, he had to finish the MV filming within a week. Then he would quickly go to Character where he would shoot the cover of the March issue. After that, there were the reality show recording in early March.
Two days before the MV filming, Zhao Rui handed the script to Ming Yu. Luo Ru had specifically reminded Zhao Rui to not let the MV’s plot be too complicated. However, the story wasn’t something that Zhao Rui could decided.
Therefore, when Ming Yu got the script, he looked it over and smiled at Zhao Rui. “Brother Zhao, this story is really great and challenging. I feel really good!”
Zhao Rui, “…QAQ.”
Good?
The role that he was playing…
A good boy next door type was going to play someone with an antisocial personality disorder?
