After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 416 A Friend's Friend is Also a Friend

Lu Mingye walked over to Ye Sanqing, gestured slightly, and then sat down in the empty seat next to him, while glancing at Yan Anxu.

This person is currently very restless.

Lu Mingye didn't know the reason, but he didn't need to bother thinking about it, after all...

It's normal to feel uneasy in front of the three people sitting here.

He hadn't planned to come back; according to his plan, his public contact with Ye Sanqing today was just the right amount.

Some things are best done in excess.

Although a few photos were released, Lu Mingye did not plan to deliberately create rumors online; those were mainly for his family to see.

Therefore, he wouldn't send anyone to stir up any trouble.

However, Wu Qicang's state just now aroused his curiosity, because he could tell at a glance that the other party was lying.

Lying is never a good thing, especially when this lie involves Ye Sanqing.

However... judging from Wu Qicang's appearance, he clearly doesn't realize how serious his actions are.

Someone just said you needed to talk to me.

Lu Mingye wasn't kind enough to cover it up for him, so he just told him directly.

Ye Sanqing looked up and saw that Wu Qicang had already been dragged up by Fu Sizhou, and she did not see him.

“I have something to do, but you should know that…” She turned to look at Lu Mingye.

Does this mean, "You know I have something to do, so why don't you hurry up and do it?"

"Yes, I know. So it wasn't you who contacted me, then it was him..."

Lu Mingye asked the question knowing the answer already.

If it was Ye Jin'er and Sheng Hanyu who were looking for him, then Wu Qicang would have no reason to lie, so he turned his attention to Yan Anxu.

Yan Anxu was sweating profusely.

The atmosphere between Lu Mingye and Ye Sanqing was different from what he had observed from afar; they seemed to have reached a tacit understanding of some kind of cooperation.

"I'm sorry, Third Young Master." Yan Anxu knew that if he didn't speak up, things would only get worse, so he hurriedly said, "Qicang... sometimes doesn't know his place and speaks without thinking, please don't blame him."

"This is……"

Lu Mingye glanced at Sheng Hanyu, who was sitting closest to him.

Sheng Hanyu said, "DARK's captain, Yan Anxu. Xingxuan's DARK. And that guy just now... Wu Qicang, he's also in their group."

He almost laughed as he spoke, never imagining that he would one day be introducing these people to Lu Mingye. Tonight was truly surreal.

After he finished speaking, his gaze fell on Lu Mingye's collar.

"Are you... alright here?"

His question was truly shocking to Lu Mingye.

Although Lu Mingye also judged that Sheng Hanyu and Ye Sanqing were not dating, why did this sound so dangerous?

But Ye Sanqing would definitely not tell Sheng Hanyu that she did it. Lu Mingye was more inclined to believe that Sheng Hanyu was just expressing her greetings and had no other meaning.

Although it's rare for him or them to say things without any ulterior motive...

"It's nothing, thank you for your concern."

Lu Mingye gave a slightly embarrassed twitch of his lips.

Even if he has something to say, it's useless; Sheng Hanyu can't bite Lu Wangshen for him.

Since he intends to maintain a friendly cooperative relationship with Ye Sanqing, he should at least be outwardly friendly towards Sheng Hanyu as well.

A friend of a friend is also a friend.

But this scene looked different to Yan Anxu, who looked at Ye Sanqing with surprise.

He felt that the atmosphere between the two men was like the eldest wife showing affection to the second wife in front of the master...

But now was not the time to think about that. Taking the opportunity, Yan Anxu said, "Third Young Master, I have long admired you. I wonder if there is an opportunity to have a chat with you?"

His words were full of implications; he was practically saying the word "in-depth" outright.

Lu Mingye looked at him with curiosity, then at Ye Sanqing, and finally at Sheng Hanyu.

"An Xu is very interested in you."

Sheng Hanyu smiled and said very politely.

He could see clearly that Lu Mingye's eyes meant, "Isn't he sitting next to you? Why is he flirting with me?" So, of course, he had to shift the blame to the other party.

"Are you interested in using the Third Miss's name? That's quite an interest, but I'm afraid I'm not worthy of it."

Lu Mingye said indifferently, then, showing no interest in Yan Anxu, he got up to leave.

"Third Young Master!"

Yan Anxu grew anxious and stood up, ready to follow.

"Did I let you go?"

Ye Jin'er, who had remained silent until now, said.

He didn't look up, nor did he even glance at Yan Anxu, but his words were like a nail, making Yan Anxu dare not move.

Lu Mingye had only intended to talk about this matter. He nodded to Ye Sanqing and left.

Ye Sanqing: Okay, hurry up and get on with your business.

"Yan Anxu".

When Yan Anxu heard Ye Jin'er repeat his name again, he had no choice but to turn around.

Do you think it's better to suffer for a long time or to suffer for a short time?

Ye Jin'er smiled at him.

This statement is neither a question nor a choice.

Yan Anxu closed his eyes briefly, then sat down.

What is supposed to come will come.

Although the banquet hall was still bustling with noise and the music had never stopped, he felt a quiet vacuum had appeared around him.

"What you want to know is about Shen Qing, right? I will tell you everything I know, but after that, can you let me... have a decent ending?"

In such a completely unfavorable situation, the fact that he could struggle several times and, after all that failed, quickly make demands that were in his favor shows that Yan Anxu was not entirely without ability to get to where he is today.

Unfortunately, most of these abilities are being used in the wrong places.

"That depends on your performance."

Ye Jin'er said.

"I was the one who asked him to go that day."

Yan Anxu only said this one sentence.

He waited for people to ask him questions before he could blurt out his answers, which made it easier to create the illusion that he was also helpless and that the incident had caused him great psychological trauma.

But it remained silent.

Yan Anxu had no choice but to continue.

"I... didn't mean to harm him. In our line of work... I don't expect you all to understand my feelings, after all, you are all people of status..."

"To put it bluntly, to survive in the entertainment industry, you need a powerful backer, whether that backer is rich or powerful."

“I was someone who had nothing, and I had no choice... They made me kneel, but I didn’t dare to stand.”

“Shen Qing has nothing either… No, he has an agent brother, but he never mentions it publicly… I don’t quite understand. If he had made this public, he might not have encountered these problems.”

"President Fu... back then, President Fu Shaojing took a liking to him. What a blessing that was! At first, she was genuinely pursuing him, but he insisted on keeping his distance..."

"If you ask me, if they had given in from the beginning, this wouldn't have happened. What kind of person is President Fu? How could he not get what he sets his sights on?"

"So he asked me to arrange a meeting with Shen Qing. Could I object? What happened later was an accident; nobody wanted it..."

As Yan Anxu spoke, he inexplicably became somewhat sorrowful, and he looked at Sheng Hanyu.

If we're talking about people who don't have official status but work in the entertainment industry, shouldn't he be the one who knows the most?

"Actually... President Sheng should be able to understand me, after all, back in the day, Teacher Sheng..."

Sheng Hanyu raised her hand and splashed the wine on Yan Anxu's face.
