Chapter 1440 1560, Enlightenment
"Take me to the study." Lu Jinshen asked Xu Fengyu to lead the way, but he went upstairs first.
Xu Fengyu turned his head and looked at Tong Qiao.
Tong Qiao nodded at him and gave him a reassuring look.
Xu Fengyu pursed his lips and quickly followed Lu Jinshen's pace.
The two came to the study. Lu Jinshen sat down on the sofa. Seeing Lu Ziqian standing beside him, he pointed at the sofa opposite and said, "Sit down."
People with strong auras are at home wherever they go.
Xu Fengyu is also a person who has experienced life and death. His temperament is much more stable than that of his peers, but in front of Lu Jinshen, he feels that he will always be that four or five-year-old child, reserved and respectful.
He nodded and sat down opposite Lu Jinshen, sitting upright, feeling like a student meeting a teacher.
Lu Jinshen took out a cigarette box and lit a cigarette. He remembered the photos of Xu Fengyu smoking that were exposed online. He looked up and asked the boy opposite him, "Want a cigarette?"
Xu Fengyu tightened his fingers for a moment, but did not refuse. He wanted to relieve his tense nerves, "Okay."
Lu Jinshen asked casually, but did not expect Xu Fengyu to really smoke. He was slightly stunned.
He was not against Xu Fengyu smoking. Smoking can relieve stress appropriately and relieve some uncontrollable emotions. As long as it is moderate, Lu Jinshen thinks it is okay for men to smoke.
It's just that he remembered that the last time he asked Xu Fengyu if he smoked, Xu Fengyu refused and told him that smoking was bad for his health and asked him to smoke less.
Lu Jinshen took a cigarette from the cigarette box and handed it to Xu Fengyu, "Are you under a lot of pressure recently?"
Xu Fengyu did not deny it. When he took the cigarette, he said "hmm".
Lu Jinshen then handed over the lighter.
Xu Fengyu took it, and after two seconds of silence, he said, "Thank you."
Lu Jinshen frowned slightly at Xu Fengyu's politeness, but didn't care. He handed the cigarette to his thin lips and took a puff. Through the bluish-white smoke, he looked at the boy who was lighting the cigarette opposite him, "Do you want to quit the entertainment industry?"
Xu Fengyu put the lighter back on the coffee table, and did not smoke the lit cigarette immediately. He answered Lu Jinshen's question first, "Yeah."
"I don't agree." Lu Jinshen directly stated his attitude.
Xu Fengyu had never contradicted Lu Jinshen before. Even though he was thinking at this time, 'I will quit even if you don't agree,' he didn't dare to say a word and smoked in silence.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, Lu Jinshen remembered Tong Qiao's words, asking him to be careful with his tone when speaking. He took a few puffs of cigarette, suppressed his temper, and spoke again in a much more relaxed tone, "Tell me what you think."
Xu Fengyu took the cigarette away from the corner of his lips and was about to speak, but Lu Jinshen said again: "I want to hear your true thoughts."
Xu Fengyu put the cigarette back to his lips and inhaled gently, as if considering how to speak. After a few seconds, he spoke, "I don't want An An to be in the rumors. I want to be with her."
Lu Jinshen nodded, affirming that he, Xu Fengyu, was telling the truth. He bent down and slowly put the ash in the ashtray, "Do you like singing?"
The question sentence is indeed affirmative.
Lu Jinshen has seen Xu Fengyu singing on the stage in the video. He is not as flamboyant and cool as some singers. He sometimes closes his eyes and sometimes sings affectionately. It can be seen that he is intoxicated and enjoying it. If he doesn't really like it, he can't do it.
"I like it." Xu Fengyu vaguely guessed the intention of Lu Jinshen's question, and added after answering, "But I like An An more. The entertainment industry is not the stage I want. It's too complicated."
Lu Jinshen sank into the sofa with his long legs casually crossed. His gestures revealed the calmness and restraint of a successful man. "Your reputation has been established. Can you live a peaceful life if you quit the entertainment industry?"
"...Maybe time can dilute everything." Xu Fengyu spoke without confidence.
"Don't think of time as perfect. It doesn't have such a big effect." Lu Jinshen pointed out directly, "An An can't go to school normally. How long can she wait? Ten years? Twenty years? Or drop out of school directly?"
Xu Fengyu, "..."
Lu Jinshen continued, "Your decision is very reckless, you know?"
Xu Fengyu disagreed a little, and mustered up the courage to look at Lu Jinshen, "I have thought about this decision carefully."
"That means you are immature and completely immature."
Seeing that Xu Fengyu didn't say anything, but his expression obviously disagreed with him, Lu Jinshen took a puff of cigarette and continued, "You think that giving up singing for An An is responsible for your relationship, but you made a decision without even paving the way out. If it's not immaturity, what is it? You said you can write lyrics and compose music, and you retired in such a notorious way. Which company dares to use you again? Which singer dares to sing the songs you wrote?"
Xu Fengyu bowed his head and said nothing. He said those things just to reassure An An, but he felt that there is always a way out. As long as he works hard, there should be hope.
Lu Jinshen, "A man should give his beloved a comfortable life, instead of hiding his identity and wandering around."
Xu Fengyu frowned, his handsome face was filled with pain, he took a few puffs of cigarettes, and said softly: "I don't want to be separated from An An." After that, he looked at the man who was omnipotent to him with some pleading, "Besides separation, is there no other way?"
Seeing that Xu Fengyu realized his mistake, Lu Jinshen began to talk about his countermeasures, "An An is still young and can't neglect his studies. You two will be separated for two years, and I will send An An abroad..."
"But..." Xu Fengyu wanted to say something, but he stopped talking when he received Lu Jinshen's gaze.
"You have two years to change the status quo. Men should not retreat when they encounter problems, but face them head on. You say the entertainment industry is too complicated, but isn't society complicated? No matter where you go, it's impossible for everything to go as you wish. If you want to do what you want, then make yourself strong, so strong that others must listen to you.
If you are very popular in the entertainment industry, if you are the pillar of Tianyu Media, can Qiu Cheng still abandon you? Can he still make you do something you don't want to do? At that time, I'm afraid he will serve you like serving his ancestors.
Society is a big dye vat. How can it be pure enough for you to sing just because you want to? Just singing?
I am the president of Lu Group, and sometimes I will give in to some things, but at least 80% to 90%, I can do it according to my own wishes, and the people under me, even if they don't want to, can only obey. "
Lu Jinshen rarely said so many words at once. Seeing that the boy opposite was stunned, he didn't smoke his cigarette, as if he was frozen, and the hand holding the cigarette tapped the coffee table in front of him, "Do you understand?"
Xu Fengyu felt that Lu Jinshen's words were like enlightenment, and he came back to his senses from the epiphany and nodded hurriedly, "I understand." But... "How can I save this situation now?"
