Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Lu Qing isn’t in the Capital right now, nor can he rush back in time, and since his main base isn’t in the Capital, he can only entrust the matter to others to handle.

Upon receiving the news, Tan Rou started to investigate who was causing trouble behind the scenes.

Liang Lu was also anxious. She paced around Tan Rou’s office, sitting down one moment, standing up the next, restless as if on hot coals, endlessly circling inside the office.

Tan Rou was searching online for news, trying to find out who had first posted the video. Seeing Liang Lu pacing in the office, she said, “Liang Lu, aren’t you tired? Sit down and rest for a while.”

Liang Lu walked to her, face full of urgency, and said, “Tan Rou, it’s not that I want to pace, but my legs just won’t stop! You know how much effort I’ve really put into this movie, and you all invested so much money in it. If this matter affects it, then what about the money you invested?”

Her movie had been released for less than a week and was currently at the peak time for increasing box office sales. If her grandparents’ issue had an impact, the subsequent box office was uncertain.

It was Liang Lu’s first movie on the big screen, and she couldn’t let the money Tan Rou and the others invested go to waste.

“Liang Lu, to us, this amount of money really isn’t much,” Tan Rou comforted her, saying, “My company can earn back the money invested in your movie in a month, so you don’t need to worry about these things.”

Liang Lu was still very anxious, “No, this time I must earn more money. My career has just started, I can’t falter here.”

Tan Rou wanted to tell her everyone faces setbacks in the beginning of starting a business and urged her not to get too worked up, but seeing how anxious Liang Lu was, she held back.

“Hmm, you’re thinking correctly,” Tan Rou said while clicking the mouse, “So who do you think is creating trouble for you this time?”

Liang Lu shook her head, “I don’t know. At first, I thought my grandparents were trying to get money from me, but since they haven’t contacted me up to now, I’m uncertain.”

Tan Rou analyzed, “Lu Qing said that your grandparents arrived four days ago and were brought here by someone else, so there must be someone behind this helping them.”

Liang Lu, frustrated, pulled at her hair, “Who on earth is causing me trouble? If I find out who did it, I’ll go to their house tonight and beat them up!”

Tan Rou was reminded of the bullying days back in high school. Despite Liang Lu’s current gentle demeanor, back then she used to be the campus bully! There were few who weren’t afraid of her.

“Don’t get worked up, you’re a public figure now, and you need to be mindful of your image otherwise you’ll encounter a lot of trouble,” Tan Rou reminded her.

Liang Lu suddenly felt powerless, “Does being a public figure mean I have to suffer such unfair treatment? I’ve tried so hard to live my life, to create a wonderful future, why are there still people trying to ruin it for me?”

Tan Rou felt sorry for Liang Lu. Since she was very young, after Liang Lu’s parents passed away, they didn’t leave her any good things, only ridicule from others.

She struggled to live, using her fists to conquer those who mocked her, but it was useless; the people who were supposed to laugh would still laugh, and Liang Lu couldn’t fight everyone.

Later on, Liang Lu decided to change. Through her tremendous efforts, she finally got into university and, with the help of friends, completed her studies and obtained a nice degree.

Her future seemed bright; everything was moving in the right direction.

Regretfully, someone ruined that life.

“Liang Lu…” Tan Rou grabbed a tissue for her, “Wipe your tears, don’t ruin your image. In my heart, you’ve always been a very strong girl.”

Liang Lu wiped her tears, but she felt aggrieved inside, “Tan Rou, I really tried hard to live my life. To reach where I am today, I’ve given a lot, but why do they still want to harm me? For fifteen years, they never looked for me, and now that I have money, they want to come to me, what kind of grandparents are these?”
