Chapter 318 - 312: Dilireba, Did You Eat Garlic?

"How are you so free? I just had to ask once, and you came right out!" Wu Yun teased, looking into Dilireba’s gorgeous big eyes.

Dilireba’s face fell, and she said dejectedly, "What can I do? I’m just a B-list actress with no offers coming in. I’m so envious of Qi Fei. She’s not even graduated and she’s already getting such prime resources."

Dilireba had been keeping a close eye on Wu Yun, so she knew he was prioritizing Qi Fei and had even personally attended the production launch ceremony for *Disguiser*. She was so envious she wished she could take Qi Fei’s place.

When she was filming *Diamond Lover*, Dilireba had fantasized about having a boyfriend like the male lead. Back then, she had sighed; TV dramas were, after all, just TV dramas.

Little did she expect that, not long after, she would meet Wu Yun—a man who perfectly matched her image of the ideal man.

"In a company like ours, at least seven or eight pairs of eyes are watching every single opportunity. On top of that, Sister Mi gets the lion’s share, and many investors can’t stand her demand to package her other actors into a project. Ugh! It’s so frustrating!" Though Dilireba said all this, she was watching Wu Yun’s expression from the corner of her eye.

Hearing her complaint, the corners of Wu Yun’s mouth curled up. He smiled and said, "Xiaodi! Seeing as you’re in such a pitiful state, how about this: after *Diamond Lover* airs, I’ll get you an endorsement deal."

Dilireba’s eyes lit up, and her voice was like tinkling bells. "Really!? You have to keep your word!"

Then she added in a coquettish tone, "And another thing! Don’t call me Xiaodi! I’m older than you, you know!"

Wu Yun stopped in his tracks. He turned and looked Dilireba up and down, then nodded in agreement. "You certainly are bigger than me!"

Dilireba froze for a second before it dawned on her. She started playfully pounding on Wu Yun’s shoulder with her little fists. "Don’t be a perv!"

Just as Wu Yun was enjoying Dilireba’s "massage," he heard a woman’s voice call out from behind them, "Wu Yun! President Wu!"

Dilireba stopped what she was doing and turned around with Wu Yun to see a man and a woman walking toward them, smiling.

The woman was dressed in business attire, exuding a powerful, career-woman aura. The man’s looks were quite ordinary, but one glance at his clothes told you he was very wealthy.

Dilireba subconsciously created some distance from Wu Yun, taking a small step back to stand slightly behind him.

You don’t spurn a smiling face, as they say. Though Wu Yun didn’t recognize them, he still smiled and asked, "Hello! And you are?"

The woman introduced herself first. "I’m Hu Weixiao! I wonder if President Wu has heard of me?"

Upon hearing her name, Wu Yun repeated it in his mind and had a flash of recognition. "President Hu from Mobike?"

After the woman nodded, Wu Yun smiled and extended his hand, giving Hu Weixiao’s a light shake before letting go. "A pleasure, a pleasure! I never expected to run into President Hu here! And this must be President Wang Wei!"

Dilireba watched Wu Yun chat with the pair as if they were old friends who had known each other for years, not like the cutthroat rivals they were. She couldn’t help but marvel internally. ’These people are such good actors. I’m truly no match for them!’

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Hu Weixiao probed, "President Wu, about that recent notice... Did you not approach the authorities? Is Little Red Car really just going to accept its fate and cease operations?"

Wu Yun laughed evasively. "We did. Of course, we did! They just said we have to meet the required standards to resume business."

"Thankfully, we’d already been planning for this, which is why we were able to react so quickly!"

Seeing that Hu Weixiao looked like she still had questions, Wu Yun added,

"As for the specific measures we’re taking, I’m not entirely clear on them myself. My employees are handling everything. I’m just a hands-off manager, after all!"

With that, Wu Yun glanced at his watch and put on an apologetic expression. "My apologies, you two! We’ll have to chat again some other time. I have an appointment to get to!"

Watching the backs of Wu Yun and the exotic-looking beauty as they left, the broad smile on Hu Weixiao’s face vanished in an instant. "That Wu Yun... his words are completely watertight. How can such a young monster exist! We’re losing our hair working for the company, and we still can’t compete with a kid who’s not even twenty!"

Hearing Hu Weixiao’s complaint, Wang Wei thought of his own son. He was around the same age, but he was completely ruined now.

’Sigh... If only Tianqi were half as brilliant as Wu Yun, I’d wake up from my dreams laughing.’

’Looks like my only option is to focus on cultivating my other ’alt accounts’! And I’ll have to start them young!’

If Wang Wei knew that Wu Yun was half-responsible for Wang Tianqi ending up "eating from the communal pot," one wonders what he would think.

...

「In the private room.」

"So that woman is the general manager of Mobike! She really has the air of a career woman!" Dilireba said, blinking her big eyes as she looked at Wu Yun.

Wu Yun nodded calmly. "She is. But if I’m not mistaken, that Hu Weixiao and Wang Wei definitely have something going on."

Hearing this, Dilireba blushed slightly. "President Wu, how did you figure that out?"

Wu Yun said confidently, "Hu Weixiao used to be a reporter. Where do you think she got that much capital to start a business? From the man backing her, of course!"

Of course, Wu Yun wasn’t about to tell her he had just used his glasses to scan Hu Weixiao’s information, and that the system had noted an ’experience with friction’ for the day.

So, Wu Yun had simply combined various pieces of intelligence to arrive at his conclusion.

"Alright! Enough about them. Let’s talk about you. I’m very interested in you!"

Wu Yun’s blunt words made Dilireba instinctively squeeze her thighs together. Inwardly, she was delighted, but her face showed surprise. "President Wu, honestly... I thought we were friends, and here you are, having other ideas! You can’t do that, you have a girlfriend!~"
