Trapped in Asura Field after paranoia relapse

"Second Young Master Yan?!" Mia was shocked, "He, isn't he Yan Min?"

"The real Yan Min is also being interviewed live on the financial news."

Xu Fangcheng took a step forward, and glanced calmly at Lu Shui who was standing behind Yan Xing: "I know, the Yan family has twins, you should be the younger brother, right?"

"Bingo." Yan Xing smiled.

"Mr. Xu." Shao Shi's voice trembled, "Did you ask Mia to do all of this?"

All eyes were on Xu Fangcheng, but he just straightened his cuffs calmly.

Mia stared at Xu Fangcheng and swallowed.

"I did all of this." Mia said tremblingly, "It has nothing to do with anyone else."

"Hmph." Yan Xing snorted.

How could a small director have the guts to do such a thing.

Unless Xu Fangcheng ordered it, things would not turn out as they are now.

Obviously, Shao Shi did not believe what Mia said.

He just looked at Xu Fangcheng, hoping to hear the final answer from him.

"The director's dereliction of duty, Hualin will deal with it seriously." Xu Fangcheng said coldly, "As for the others..."

"Lu Shui."

While speaking, he suddenly called Lu Shui's name.

Lu Shui was startled, met eyes with Yan Xing who turned his head, and walked out calmly.

Xu Fangcheng looked at Lu Shui with a smile: "Now Hualin is only you."

"Why are you doing this? It won't do Hualin any good."

Lu Shui and Xu Fangcheng walked outside the exhibition hall to have a private chat.

Yan Xing stood far away at the door, ready to take people away immediately if Lu Shui didn't want to.

"Do you believe it? I really didn't do it." Xu Fangcheng put his hands in his pockets and stared at the ground with regret.

Lu Shui noticed that he had returned to his original style.

Old-fashioned, old-fashioned, impersonal.

Xu Fangcheng looked forward to Lu Shui's answer, but Lu Shui didn't speak.

He didn't believe Xu Fangcheng, since Xu Fangcheng brought him to the Xu family's family banquet, he was already in the game set up by Xu Fangcheng.

"I just mentioned Shao Shi's rating intentionally or unintentionally. It's just a middle-level designer of their group."

Xu Fangcheng rubbed his index finger and thumb, as if he was casually crushing non-existent dust.

"As for Mia, what she is best at is deliberating on the minds of her superiors."

Lu Shui suddenly realized.

But he still couldn't agree with Xu Fangcheng.

"You gave her a hint." Lu Shui pursed his lips.

Xu Fangcheng must have chatted with Mia alone, maybe at the tea table where he usually receives guests.

Zhang Ruo accidentally mentioned this men's fashion show.

A mediocre designer who is not very good, and an event that is not as good as a star show.

Even the whole men's clothing show, the money earned can't compare to the fraction of the starlight show.

Mia is such a smart person.

But it was this cleverness that made her stupid.

She speculated about the "Holy Will" and contacted the clothing manufacturer privately.

Xu Fangcheng knew it well, but he didn't stop her.

So Mia's ambition and greed gradually grew bigger, like an inflated balloon, and what awaited her in the end was the explosion of the incident.

Lu Shui folded his arms around his chest: "Is she enriching herself?"

"It's not just this time." Xu Fangcheng raised his eyebrows, "In the past, every time you were not there, Mia would get a part of the kickback on various details."

Lu Shui nodded knowingly, no wonder others said that Mia is generous, earning two hands of money, naturally she has the capital to give her colleagues more small favors.

"I admit, I did mislead her." Xu Fangcheng raised his eyes, "But if I don't do this, Hualin's moths will take root forever, and I have to do it to survive with my arms broken."

"Xu Fangcheng, you are lying." Lu Shui looked directly at Xu Fangcheng.

His red lips moved up and down, making Xu Fangcheng's eyes deep: "If I don't show up this time, Fashion Week will definitely go on, Shao Shi will lose his chance of promotion, Mia will be sent to the police station by you, and Hua Lin, It's the most innocent victim."

"Kill two birds with one stone, you really know how to think about it."

Seeing this, Xu Fangcheng didn't panic, but applauded appreciatively.

"You're right." Xu Fangcheng nodded, "But you said a little less."

Lu Shui frowned, he had a vague guess in his heart, but he didn't know if it was right.

"I still want to clear some thorns for you, is that wrong?" Xu Fangcheng sighed, his eyes were a little lonely, "I excluded you from the beginning of this game."

Lu Shui opened his eyes wide, and even his breathing became short of breath.

"Lu Shui, I gave you a chance." Xu Fangcheng's voice reminded Lu Shui of what happened at the stairs that day.

As long as Lu Shui softened at that time, maybe Xu Fangcheng would let him follow up the activities.

With him around, Mia would never dare to do this.

"Besides, the same thing, if I throw it to you, will you do it like Mia?"

Xu Fangcheng turned to look at Lu Shui.

Lu Shui fell into deep thought.

He never tries to please others deliberately, maybe in the past he would have been a little envious of the all-round Mia, but now, he just wants to be himself.

Lu Shui raised the corner of his mouth and raised his phone.

The screen of the mobile phone is the picture that is being recorded.

Only then did Xu Fangcheng's resolute expression show signs of cracking.

"The recording cannot be used as evidence." Xu Fangcheng stared at Lu Shui closely.

"But it can be a gossip headline."

Lu Shui took back the phone and put it in his trouser pocket.

"Mia is to blame, I will not pursue this matter." He calmly looked at the few people standing at the door.

"But why did you choose this event, the designer is Shao Shi?"

Xu Fangcheng didn't answer, he just took out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket and smoked quietly.

The smoke made Lu Shui frowned unconsciously, and Xu Fangcheng put out the cigarette immediately.

"If you still trust me, I'll tell you later."

Lu Shui snorted and glanced at the time.

If we stay any longer, I'm afraid Dong Junxin will rush over in a hurry.

He walks away.

"Where are you going?"

"Go and clean up your mess." Lu Shui didn't turn his head back, "Hua Lin is kind to me, I will take over the men's clothing show."

"However," Lu Shui stopped, "terminate the lease contract, pay Yan Xing double the liquidated damages, and apologize to Shao Shi, all of which are indispensable."

Lu Shui's eyes were raised high: "Also, you should tell me, sorry?"

Xu Fangcheng didn't speak, but the expression on his face betrayed his anger.

Lu Shui took out the phone again: "Since you don't want to, I won't force you, but I don't guarantee that the recordings in my phone will appear in which gossip magazine tomorrow."

"I'm sorry." Xu Fangcheng finally said these three words.

Watching Lu Shui leave, Xu Fangcheng threw the extinguished cigarette into the trash can and lit another cigarette.

"You let him go so easily?"

"I signed a death contract with Hualin for ten years. Unless I am fired, I have no way to leave Hualin." Lu Shui pressed his temple with one hand helplessly, "It can be regarded as making Xu Fangcheng vomit and bleed. Take a breath."

Yan Xing chuckled: "Are you so reluctant to part with Hua Lin?"

Lu Shui looked at the continuous traffic outside the car window: "Hua Lin is my youth."

For Lu Shui, the past few years in Hualin have been long and precious.

His infancy, youthfulness and restlessness are all handed over to Hua Lin.

Maybe now, it is easy for him to change jobs, and he might be able to beat Xu Fangcheng and fire him with the recording.

But the sunk cost of leaving Hualin is too great.

Lu Shui was really reluctant.

Yan Xing stretched out his hand to help him rub his head, Lu Shui took a look at Yan Xing and did not avoid it.

"Pay attention to the car." Lu Shui reminded.

"It's okay, red light." Yan Xing raised his eyebrows.

Lu Shui glanced at Yan Xing with a soft expression: "Why didn't you say anything?"

"say what?"

Lu Shui imitated Yan Xing's tone as if he was recalling: "I said a long time ago that that person is a fake, but you don't believe me, are you at a disadvantage now?"

"You think I'm stupid." Yan Xing smiled and punched Lu Shui, "I'm a mature adult, I know what to say and what not to say."

The two returned to the underground garage of the community.

Lu Shui sat on the car seat and didn't get out of the car in a hurry.

"Thank you." He said slowly, "I'm most sorry for you in this matter."

"You stood up, but I..."

Yan Xing unbuckled his seat belt and suddenly turned around to approach Lu Shui.

"Lu Shui, no one is sorry for anyone in this world." Yan Xing grinned cheerfully, "Only willingly."

"Besides, now that you are facing that guy alone, will your paranoia not recur?"
