They used to think it was mere coincidence, but thinking about it now, it’s certainly not!
“Old Hu, is it too late if we were to apologize to Lu Man now?” Assistant Chief Wang questioned.
“What do you think?” Chief Hu snarled.
There must be a long queue of those wishing to apologize to Lu Man now.
“Whatever. If there’s anything, we’ll have a meeting tomorrow at the station. We’ll discuss before taking any actions. My mind’s in a jumble now, I can’t think of anything,” Chief Hu said.
Assistant Chief Wang thought similarly, but since tomorrow was a Saturday, he had to notify the others quickly to ready them for the meeting.
Hanging up, Chief Hu grabbed at his chest, feeling it hurt terribly.
“This Lu Man!” What a jinx!
“Are you alright, Old Hu?” Mrs. Hu went to support the frightfully pale Chief Hu, seeing that he was swaying on his feet, looking as if he was ready to faint at any time.
“I’m a bit dizzy, I’ll just sit over there.” Chief Hu was seriously shaken this time.
A similar thing occurred in Ge Guangzhen’s home.
Unlike Chief Hu, Ge Guangzhen was watching the live-stream at home.
And then, he saw Lu Man and Han Zhuoli.
He didn’t feel at all well at that moment.
Wasn’t Lu Man making trouble for them?
If she had declared her relationship with Han Zhuoli earlier on, he wouldn’t have provoked Lu Man no matter what!
The three who previously served as judges on the Chinese Arts Championships—Sun Changfang, Li Lingmei, and Liu Lijin—were currently with their respective production crews.
Because of the ruckus created during the Chinese Arts Championships, the three had suffered dents in their reputations, received fewer offers for dramas, and got less important roles.
They were watching the live-stream of the film festival in the hotel room provided by the production crew.
All at different locations, but their facial expressions changed simultaneously.
Lu Man and Han Zhuoli!
No wonder that, when they purposely gave Lu Man a low score back then, Han Zhuoli would personally invite Ma Xianghuan and Lian Fang over.
It was not about the Han Corporation’s reputation, it was all for Lu Man!
Li Lingmei had already dialed Liu Lijin’s number in a fluster. “You watched the film festival live-stream yet?”
Liu Lijin was grim. “I’m watching right now. I’ve seen it too.”
“You think Han Zhuoli will take revenge on us?” Li Lingmei asked in dismay.
Liu Lijin was more calm and did not know if her words served to comfort Li Lingmei or herself. “If he wanted to, he would’ve done so by now. It’s not like Han Zhuoli just got together with Lu Man today. He’s had so much time before this, and he didn’t do anything to us. He probably won’t do so in the future.”
Be that as it may, Han Zhuoli’s and Lu Man’s choice to go public with their relationship on the film festival’s award ceremony truly threw many into a state.
It was even more lively on the Internet.
Many netizens became active on Weibo.
“Lu Man and Han Zhuoli, my god!”
“Are they married?”
“For sure. Or they wouldn’t do this on the live-stream. They’re not fools.”
“Weren’t there plenty of guesses about who Han Zhuoli’s wife actually is? Well, the answer’s finally out.”
“But this answer is something I never expected. How did Lu Man actually meet Han Zhuoli?”
“Lu Man’s too unbelievable! It’s Han Zhuoli! Forgive my nonsensical gibberish, I can’t find any words to portray my current state of shock.”
“Lu Man’s really too incredible. Wang Juhuai is her stepfather, Han Zhuoli is her hubby. What godd*mn line-up is this!”
“…I think the day Lu Man rules the entertainment industry is just around the corner.”
