Chapter 439 - 436: Seeking Help Again

Chapter 439: Chapter 436: Seeking Help Again

If it weren’t for Lin Wanwan wearing Ye Yinyin’s iconic Qing Dynasty Palace Bracelet and being pulled to the main table by Lu Shouyue, no one would take her seriously.

After all, in their social class, they practically see news of young men in the entertainment industry frequently changing girlfriends every day.

Take Wang Bocheng, the only son of the Wang Family, who’s already been through countless internet celebrity girlfriends, and today he’s brought another one to the birthday party.

If viewed with old-fashioned eyes, thinking they bring girls home with the intention of marrying them, they’d be greatly mistaken.

Young people these days don’t concern themselves with those old customs at all.

But the girl who can gift such a precious necklace and receive Ye Yinyin’s approval is surely different from other flashy opportunists and tea masters.

It seems it won’t be long before everyone might be invited to the wedding banquet of the Lu Family’s sole heir.

Many are eyeing the position of Lu Shouyue’s wife.

The only child born from the union of the Ye and Lu families stands at the pinnacle from birth. Whether in capability, knowledge, appearance, character, or family background, everything is top-notch, scoring extremely high in their circle of wealthy wives.

Such a person would make an excellent husband or son-in-law.

Since Lu Shouyue entered university, there have been countless noblewomen matchmaking for him, but unfortunately, none have succeeded.

After chatting with Lin Wanwan for a while but not gleaning any information about her family background, everyone dispersed, finding little point in talking more with the younger generation.

However, as this group of elder noblewomen stepped away, a new batch of young wealthy beauties gathered around.

The reason for their interest was no other than to inquire about Lin Wanwan. They asked Lin Wanwan about her father’s profession, how long she’d been dating Lu Shouyue, and where she was currently employed.

Lin Wanwan only answered one question, stating she was not dating Lu Shouyue and had attended the birthday party upon his mother’s invitation, while she evaded other questions.

This group of old and young wealthy beauties were all potential client groups for Lin Wanwan’s Yongtang brand.

Today, she packed quite a few opening invitations in her bag, just right to invite them to visit the physical store she’s about to open at Times Square.

Thanks to the Lu Family’s face, many noblewomen accepted the invitation on the spot, saying they’d come to support.

This tea party was, for Lin Wanwan, a good opportunity to expand her client base.

Promoting embroidery and Hanfu is indeed a long-term endeavor.

For dreams and money, networking isn’t embarrassing!

Lin Wanwan’s joyful mood carried on until she returned from the restroom and saw Chen Jinyu chatting with Lu Shouyue.

Seeing Lin Wanwan approach, Chen Jinyu greeted her with a wide smile.

"Wanwan, long time no see!"

"Mm." Lin Wanwan walked over, giving a faint smile, not too enthusiastic.

Lu Shouyue said to Lin Wanwan, "Your friend here is one of today’s welcoming etiquette guides, surprising, isn’t it?"

"Ah, you’re taking etiquette jobs again?" Lin Wanwan was indeed surprised.

She didn’t expect Chen Jinyu to be so adaptable.

Although it’s been nearly a year since she debuted, with no significant work under her belt, she’s at least a fifth or sixth-tier star yet still capable of lowering herself to take etiquette jobs.

Chen Jinyu sighed, "Sigh, I haven’t received any notifications in a long time, relying solely on a basic salary; I’m almost living on air. I... previously told you I’ve been shelved by the company."

Lin Wanwan had just heard this from Lu Ying, so hearing it again, it didn’t affect her.

Does she actually expect Wanwan to help her? Last time, due to Chen Jinyu’s self-assertion, she tricked her into attending a drinking party, causing Wanwan nearly irreversible harm. She’s not noble enough to repay grievance with virtue.

"Oh, shelved, how could that be? Maybe you misunderstood, it’s unreasonable for the company to pay you but not let you work." Lin Wanwan said indifferently.

Feeling Lin Wanwan’s coldness, Chen Jinyu glanced flirtatiously at Lu Shouyue, who stood by, indifferent to their conversation, face even more aloof.

Realizing her recent attempt to greet Lu Shouyue only resulted in a cold glance, Chen Jinyu felt chilled all over.

After some investigation and struggle, the clever Chen Jinyu understood that the reason behind her being shelved was because Lu Shouyue intervened.

As for why Lu Shouyue disliked her, it’s obvious, certainly because of the last drinking party.

But Lin Wanwan was obviously so loyal; how could she turn hostile so suddenly? Not only was the phone unreachable, but even WeChat had gone unanswered.

"Wanwan, could we speak privately?"

Lin Wanwan pondered for a moment and still followed Chen Jinyu to the corner where no one was. As for Lu Shouyue, who was left alone, many soon surrounded him, eager to please.

"Just say what you want, but if it’s about your work, actually you don’t need to tell me, I can’t help you, it’s useless seeking me." Lin Wanwan immediately blocked Chen Jinyu’s intent to speak.

Chen Jinyu bit her lip, looking at Lin Wanwan with teary eyes: "Wanwan, are you still angry about the drinking party incident?"

Lin Wanwan promptly said, "No."

Chen Jinyu looked at Lin Wanwan, asking, "You are, otherwise why don’t you ever answer my calls or return my messages?"

Lin Wanwan turned her head towards the laughing crowd, indifferently saying, "You’re so smart, why do I need to spell it out? As for the reason, aren’t you clear inside?"

Chen Jinyu took a deep breath, saying, "He Junbo has been laid off by Penguin Video, also there’s someone in the circle previously harmed by him stood up to testify against him. He’s been detained now, might even get sentenced for a few years. Hearing this news, have you cooled off a bit?"

Lin Wanwan curiously asked, "Who is He Junbo?"

Chen Jinyu hesitated, biting her lip before saying, "He was the main guest at that drinking party, remember?"

"Oh, that scumbag, serves him right. Those who commit many wrongs will end themselves; it’s no surprise he ended up here." Lin Wanwan said calmly, "Thanks for telling me this news, hearing that bad people aren’t doing well does make me happy."

Chen Jinyu opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but glancing at Lu Shouyue surrounded by admirers, she swallowed her words, only saying, "I’m shelved by Lu Shao. Just now, I begged him for mercy but he ignored me. Wanwan, seeing we were once good friends, please help me."

Lin Wanwan looked at her surprised, "Mr. Lu? You must be mistaken."
