Chapter 266: Flattering each other
Chu Jingyi shakes Lu Chen's hand, "It's been a while since I've seen a handsome person like you." For the first time, Chu Jingyi felt inferior in terms of looks.
'If he joins the competition.' Chu Jingyi knows Lu Chen would beat all the contestants on appearances alone. Lu Chen's looks are rare even in the idol world.
"You flatter me, sir." Lu Chen scratches his head. Even though he wasn't participating, the contestant treated him like an enemy.
Lu Chen continues, "I'm nothing compared to how handsome you are, though." The flattery of these two made the other look away in shame.
"May I ask what company the two of you are working for?" Chu Jingyi wanted to know the company Zhang Jian was going to join. Even though he couldn't get Zhang Jian to join his company, he still wanted to see if his junior would go to a good company.
Lu Chen laughs, "No, Mr. Chu. I don't work for any company. I'm actually a CEO."
"Oh." Never did Chu Jingyi expect Lu Chen to be a CEO of a company. He was so young.
"I'm sorry. You just look-"Chu Jingyi knew he should apologize.
"Nah, you don't have to apologize. It's fine. I understand it's going to happen when I became the CEO." Lu Chen didn't mind. He knew people wouldn't believe him at first. He was ready for it.
Chu Jingyi smiles as he asks, "What is your company's name?" He didn't hear about a new company starting up with a teenager as the CEO.
"My company's name is Arcs."
"...Do you mean the one that's been in the newspaper the last few days?"
"Yes, that's my company." Lu Chen didn't hide it.
"..." Chu Jingyi went silent. Looking around, he notices nobody could hear Lu Chen's company's name. He sighs in relief and quickly whispers to Lu Chen, "Why did you buy such a company?" Arcs have been on the news for a good amount. And all of it was just horrible things the people in it did.
"You do know it might have been better for you to start a company from scratch rather than buy it?" Chu Jingyi didn't want to hide it from Lu Chen. He knows that being a CEO was difficult. More so, with a company like Arcs, the number of problems is endless.
Lu Chen nods, "You don't have to worry about it, senior Chu. I will definitely make Arcs rise from this. And besides, Arcs can't get lower than this. The only thing it can do now is to go up.
Chu Jingyi wanted to say more to him, but he couldn't when he saw Lu Chen's confident look. It was the same look Zhang Jian had as he sang.
"If you understand, then I won't say any more about it. I'll just have to see what you will do with the company."
"Haha, don't be too jealous once you do. I'll save you a spot in my company. You can join whenever you want." Lu Chen jokes. However, the people around him look at him with shock.
Save a spot for Chu Jingyi? Those were some bold words that were said.
Now it's Chu Jingyi's turn to laugh, "I haven't heard these words in such a long time. And definitely not someone this young too.
We shall see then."
Hearing the backstage worker call for him, Chu Jingyi didn't say anymore as he walked back to do his judging. But before he left, he whispered into Lu Chen's ear,
"Lu Chen, remember not to tell anybody about your company. Even though I'm kind to you, others might use this chance to take you out. So be careful."
"I will, senior." Lu Chen thanks him.
With him leaving with this piece, Duan Huiling turns over to Lu Chen, "Boss, did you really mean what you said about hiring Chu Jingyi?" She couldn't tell if Lu Chen was joking or not with this.
"Yeah, you do know that senior Chu is really popular right? You're going to need a lot of money to hire him." Zhang Jian thought Lu Chen was serious. However, even if they wanted Chu Jingyi, would Silver Ray allow him to leave?
Lu Chen smiles, "Who knows." He didn't say any more about it as he turned to Zhang Jian, "I'm going to get your food. So wait here a bit."
Duan Huiling and Zhang Jian look at each other. And they knew they wouldn't get an actual answer from him. And the only thing they could do is sigh.
