I Transmigrated As A Villain's Mother

480 Temporarily Not Cooperating

“Senior Qin is quite funny. At first, he thought I was cold like Mi Xiaoxue. When he found out that I was only acting like that in front of Director Chen, he laughed out loud. Director Chen is also an interesting person. I feel so happy whenever he praises me. Then, he would say that I’m not in character. So, I will put on a cold expression and tease him every time we meet.”

Song Ci’s mouth would not stop babbling.

Lu Gan listened quietly and managed to calm down.

Finally, Song Ci realized that she was the only one talking.

“Tell me about your day too.”

Lu Gan replied gently, “I like to hear you talk. Besides, I can learn more about the cast and crew. When I visit, they won’t seem like total strangers.”

Upon hearing that, Song Ci laughed.

“Why are you so nice to me?”

Lu Gan held the phone with both of his hands as if he was holding Song Ci.

“Isn’t that normal? You’re my wife.”

“You’re right.”

Song Ci nodded.

The two of them chatted for more than an hour.

Lu Gan looked at the time.

“It’s getting late. You should sleep so you can wake up early tomorrow.”

Song Ci obliged. She bid farewell and hung up the call. Then, she took a shower before going to bed.

On the other hand, Lu Gan was unable to fall asleep. After all, he had just discovered Qi Yuchuan’s existence. Lu Gan tossed and turned on his bed. In the end, he could only sleep with the help of sleeping pills.

Lu Gan had eerie nightmares. When he woke up, he had a terrible headache.

…

Lu Jie contacted the person in charge of the Li Corporation after he was done with his work. He wanted to continue discussing the collaboration.

“I’m sorry, CEO Lu. I can’t agree to the collaboration.”

Lu Jie became anxious.

“Director Zhou, we’ve had a good talk before. What happened?”

“I know, but President Han refused. There’s nothing I can do. Please don’t make things difficult for me. I’m just an employee.”

Lu Jie hung up and called Han Mo instead.

“We’re not working together now, but that doesn’t mean it’ll stay the same in the future.”

Han Mo’s tone was gentle. It even sounded like he was comforting him.

“Why can’t we work together now?”

Lu Jie was gritting his teeth.

“The timing is just bad.”

Han Mo said a few more polite words before hanging up.

Lu Jie’s head was about to explode. The Li Corporation was one of the key projects this year. If they refused to work with him, his plans would be ruined! How could he accept this?

Lu Jie decided to find Han Mo personally.

Unfortunately, no matter what Lu Jie offered, Han Mo would not relent. He just kept advising Lu Jie to wait.

Lu Jie could not do anything. He had to look for a company that could replace the Li Corporation.

Lu Hongyong had heard the news about Lu Jie’s failure. He pretended to ask him, “What’s going on?”

Lu Jie looked at Lu Hongyong’s frowning face.

“Uncle, don’t worry. I’ll definitely convince the Li Corporation. Han Mo is young and inexperienced. He probably thinks something is amiss. Give me some time. I promise I’ll solve this problem.”

Lu Hongyong acted as if he had Lu Jie’s best interest at heart.

“It’s not about me. Your third uncle is eyeing your position covetously. Yet, you allowed such a failure to happen. What would the other directors think if Qi Yuchuan convinced the Li Corporation before you? Do you think you’ll still have their support?”
