Chapter 311 - Conversation with Lu Zhan (2/2)

Lu Zhan was in a café, leaning against a sofa, sighing with sadness. He just finished a conversation with another director, but he didn’t get the result that he wanted. The director wanted Lu Zhan to be his co-director, but Lu Zhan’s name wouldn’t be shown on the screen, because he didn’t want to annoy the powerful person who had shut Lu Zhan out of the entertainment industry. Besides, Lu Zhan would only get the basic salary without a bonus, which was complete exploitation! However, if Lu Zhan disagreed, he wouldn’t find another suitable job.

All of a sudden, his phone rang, and it was a strange number.

“Hi.”

“Mr. Lu, this is Gu Ning. We met on the plane. I must apologize that I got your phone number without your permission, but I wanted to talk to you about our potential cooperation concerning TV shows and movies. Is it convenient for you to meet me?” Gu Ning asked politely.

Lu Zhan didn’t know Gu Ning’s name, but he recognized her voice. He was greatly surprised that she would call him. Gu Ning had apologized in the beginning because she had secretly gotten his phone number and Lu Zhan forgave her. And apparently she knew that he was a director, because she wanted to talk to him about TV shows and movies. As for Gu Ning’s invitation, Lu Zhan had no idea that Gu Ning was going to hire him. He thought that Gu Ning was probably a student who was majoring in film and wanted to learn something about that from him.

“Sure. I’m free now.” Lu Zhan welcomed her. Gu Ning had saved his life after all.

“Great! Where are you right now? I’ll come to you,” Gu Ning asked.

“I’m in California Café at table No. 8,” Lu Zhan replied.

Half an hour later, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting found him in the café. Seeing Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting, Lu Zhan immediately stood up to greet them. “Nice to meet you! Please have a seat.”

“What do you want to drink?” Lu Zhan asked.

“Two cups of Mocha please,” Gu Ning said directly without reading the menu.

“Sure, please wait a second,” the waiter said and left.

“May I ask? Why do you want to talk about TV shows and movies?” Lu Zhan asked. Speaking about the topic, Lu Zhan instantly wore a serious expression, which showed that he was indeed a professional.

“I read the news about Director Lu, and heard that you’ve been shut out of the entertainment industry by a powerful figure till now,” Gu Ning put it plainly and wasn’t worried that Lu Zhan might be unhappy.

Lu Zhan, instead, was already used to it. “That’s true.”

Gu Ning smiled and asked, “Then do you want to come back? Do you want to be famous again or even more famous than two years ago?”
