Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets!
Chapter 412 - 304. Their and his final

Chapter 412: 304. Their and his final

The light had dimmed considerably since before.

Only the moon, sliced by the curtain into strands and threads, spilled onto Mou Keyan’s beautiful jawline.

She was waiting for an answer.

"Miao Miao."

"I think I understand your concerns."

The man had clearly captured the implicit meaning in Mou Keyan’s words.

He squinted his eyes, not reacting immediately.

He needed to think about how to phrase it.

"Do you remember yourself when you first came to sign the contract?"

Mou Keyan listened quietly, resting one hand on her chin, without showing any reaction.

"Back then, the company was an empty shell, nothing at all. I only asked you one question."

"Do you really want to become famous?"

"Looking back now, even at that time last year, you already knew very well what you wanted."

"Even if I might have been offering pie in the sky, bragging, you were willing to take a chance on the fleeting opportunity, to stake your unknown fate."

"I think that’s the real you deep inside."

Lu Jincheng spoke very slowly, word by word.

Like a large nail, it deeply pierced the girl’s heart.

He didn’t spell it out, but his words cut to the core.

It seemed there was no answer, but every word was an answer.

This was not idle chat.

It was about the future Mou Keyan envisioned, and what both parties expected from each other.

"But..."

Mou Keyan started to speak but then hesitated.

"There’s no need to think too much about many things ahead of time. I’ll also ask you a question."

Lu Jincheng fell silent for a while, even feeling the girl in his arms beginning to stiffen, before gently moving his senior’s body away and smiling as he said.

"If you make a successful debut, if your broadcasts excel then you act, if your acting excels then you direct, becoming the spotlighted all-around diva."

"By then, will you still remember me?"

"Of course I will! You’ll always be my..."

Mou Keyan’s cheeks flushed suddenly.

But this flush was different from the shy coquettishness from moments before.

"Don’t talk nonsense, how could I possibly forget you, plus without you, I couldn’t have gotten to..."

Mou Keyan faltered, seemingly unsure of how to continue.

"Just tell me what to do, whether to participate or not. I always listen to you."

"I suggest you go."

A sigh in Lu Jincheng’s heart.

He had indeed, through various means, obtained everything from Mou Keyan, even doing many things on her body as his senior.

In the traditional sense of male-female relationships, he had become Mou Keyan’s indisputable "first man."

In his hands, he held not only the contract she signed when she had nothing but also many things about Mou Keyan that were not for public display.

Moreover, he had showed his tactics and schemes in front of Mou Keyan, including certain underhanded deals.

All of which made him firmly in control of this girl.

He wasn’t worried that Mou Keyan would really become a big name one day and cut ties with him.

Become unrecognizable to him.

Yet, he still understood that all of this had to be based on something fundamental.

The absolute control of one person over another had a prerequisite.

That is—interest.

Violence, sex, coercion, suppression, psychological suggestions, threats of power...

All these things can only be auxiliary.

Only interest is the sturdiest in human relationships.

Including all the staff of Golden Stone Media, Ji Shu, Liu Yutong, even Yu Qingyue, who is universally recognized as a naive and sweet girl...

In a way, he had to regularly and quantitatively reciprocate them with benefits.

Only interest could completely grasp these girls in the palm of his hand.

In this world, blood ties far outweigh friendship and love.

But what is a hundred times more solid than blood ties, is still interest.

In fact, even Yu Qingyue, who initially appeared to be naive, had learned to make demands on her own.

She had even carefully chosen the timing of her requests.

After a passionate outdoor play.

At such times, it’s very hard for a man to say no.

Even the greenest of girls would grow up.

The process of socialization is equivalent to breaking out of a cocoon, and he couldn’t help but sigh.

However, he would still maintain his smile and grace, and accept it all.

"Right, I’ll listen to you."

Mou Keyan nodded, a curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he smiled obediently.

"Just be direct with me."

...

The following days sped by as if someone had hit the fast-forward button in January.

Accompanying Zhong Ruixi to self-study sessions, dating Guan Yongyi in between, his next two days were once again filled to the brim.

The exam week came seamlessly.

One after another, the loose freshmen had their first taste of the cold indifference of the final exams.

On the evening of the last exam, Lu Jincheng, the monitor of the Business Administration Class 1, took on the role of the monitor for the first time.

He organized everyone to go to a small restaurant near the South Gate of Beiyuan for a meal.

It was the last group activity of the semester, and as the monitor personally organized the dinner, the classmates readily agreed.

These days, the business at the roadside stalls was especially good. Groups of students, like wild horses let loose after finishing their exams, were determined to have enough fun and drink to their heart’s content before going home.

"Alright, then I’ll just say a few words of blessing..."

The gathering was a great success.

Of course, it wasn’t just because Guo Minjie, who had been promoted to the director of the Student Affairs Office, attended, but parties with Mr. Lu were always lively.

From ordering dishes to serving drinks, to toasting, although it wasn’t a luxurious restaurant, the entire process left everyone feeling refreshed and uplifted.

Male students toasted female students, dorm toasts dorm, and the guest of the event toasted the audience. Under the monitor’s varied and colorful rhetoric, a sense of collective pride gradually surfaced in everyone’s hearts.

Even though Lu Jincheng was absent from most of the class activities, just this one time at the end of the new year’s term was enough to pull all of his impression points back.

Entrepreneurial rising star, talented and versatile, good at networking...

Even at the management class next door, he had a girlfriend worthy of being called the belle of the campus!

Even though he had been slacking off the entire semester, not fulfilling his duties, it was hard for anyone to have any complaints against such a monitor.

When others asked, they could proudly say, "Yeah, the boss of Golden Stone Media is our class monitor, so cool!"

That’s the power of labels.

In the end, the class gathering concluded early with Lu Jincheng’s toast - "Let me wish everyone an early happy New Year, and may you all have a joyful new year."

Nobody organized the next step of going to a KTV to sing or the like, because the monitor himself planned to slip away early.

Under the guise of seeing the instructor off, he and Guo Minjie left the party scene ahead of everyone with complete legitimacy.

After turning a corner in the small alleys of Beiyuan and crossing a street, he took hold of the older sister’s hand.

The long street was dark, the street lights dim, and the cold night air raced through everything, chilling to the bone.

Suddenly, his left pocket vibrated, and the man took out his phone from his pocket and unlocked the screen.

[Today was the first final for the finance department, she’s back.]

[Don’t say I didn’t tell you.]
