Chapter 62 - It Was Actually a Lu Family Member! (2/2)
Lu Jingzhi picked up a tea cup and started tasting the tea that Jiang Yuning had made. In the past, he used to accompany Jiang Yuning’s grandfather when he wanted to drink tea. At that time, Jiang Yuning was already very skilled in preparing and making tea, but he had not expected her to still remain so skilled even after so many years.
It was a pleasant surprise to Shen Yichen to personally witness Jiang Yuning preparing the tea for them. After all, girls of her age nowadays would not be able to make any tea, as they would not pay attention to this sort of skills. They would usually just be drinking bubble milk tea instead, as it was the trend.
Even though the Jiang family had already lost their status and prestige, he could instantly tell that Jiang Yuning was raised by an aristocratic family just by watching her prepare tea.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of something important.
The Ministry of Culture was preparing a documentary, with its third episode being . That episode would encompass the history of tea and its preparation process and he thought that it would be a good idea for Jiang Yuning to try and audition for that episode.
Furthermore, the tea episode would be filmed before the filming of started and would therefore not cause any clash in the scheduling.
After all, based on Jiang Yuning’s current situation, it would be best for her to do as many things as possible that would improve the perception and image that the public had of her.
After pitching his idea to the three of them, Gu Pingsheng smiled and said, “I like that you are already planning ahead and fighting for roles for your artistes even before she has even signed the employment contract.”
“I can do it,” Jiang Yuning replied. “I enjoy having tea.”
“You have to prepare another round of tea later and this time, give us a meticulous description of the tea-making process. I will record the procedure and send it to the person in charge to review.”
“No problem,” Jiang Yuning replied as she nodded her head.
“In future, you have to be careful and take care of your own reputation. You cannot behave like you used to anymore,” Shen Yichen started nagging her the same way that Lu Jingzhi usually did.
“Hahaha, second brother, is Director Shen actually your brother?” Jiang Yuning suddenly laughed. “Anyway, Director Shen, since we are about to sign an employment contract now, there are a few things that I need to inform you of, in case you would not know how to handle the situation if it were to come up in future.”
“Alright then, go ahead and say it.”
“First of all, Ku Jie…is my brother,” Jiang Yuning said in a serious manner as she carefully observed the expression on Shen Yichen’s face.
Shen Yichen: “!”
Gu Pingsheng: “!”
“But he was the one who released the blackmail material about you.”
“In the past, my brother and I were struggling a lot and therefore, we did many things just so we could survive in the entertainment industry. As for the scandal that caused the annulment of my engagement to Lu Zongye, we had deliberately released the news so that I could get out of the engagement with him. I will explain this matter to you in detail in future, but what I am trying to tell you now is that Ku Jie would never harm me.”
“Secondly, my relationship with Huo Yuxi is really very bad and there will be a lot of ugly rumors and scandals involving Huo Yuxi coming up in the next month. Those scandals will involve my private family affairs and therefore, I hope that you will not interfere and try to do anything about it.”
“Thirdly, I would like you to keep my relationship with second brother a secret because my reputation is really bad at the moment. However, even if I am on the right track in future and my reputation is clean, I do not want to expose my relationship with second brother to the public either. Therefore, I hope that you will be able to keep this matter to yourself and maintain confidentiality about my personal relationship.”
“Since I have already made so many personal requests, I will naturally accept and give my unconditional cooperation with any arrangements that you may make in the future.”
Shen Yichen remained very calm and composed because from the moment that he met Lu Jingzhi, he had already known that it would not be easy to deal with Jiang Yuning. It was not surprising because she not only had Lu Jingzhi as her boyfriend, but she also had Ku Jie as her brother.
Therefore, his perception of Jiang Yuning had also changed overnight.
She had several different routes that she could choose to take right now.
An inspirational route, a mysterious and high-profile route, or even a low-profile route, which meant that there would be no exposure and no heat from the public at all. Furthermore, it would not be difficult for him to handle someone like Jiang Yuning because she had a cheerful and optimistic personality.
“These would not be an issue at all. Is there anything else you would like to tell me?”
“Shouldn’t I allow you to slowly discover my talents and strengths in the future? That would be more fun and surprising right?” Jiang Yuning said as she laughed. “It would be so boring if I simply revealed every little detail about me to you right now.”
