Chapter 587: You are Giving Up too Much for the Young Mistress
In addition to the good news of their marriage, because of Jiang Yuning’s recent positive image, Vera also received many official invitation for Jiang Yuning to partic.i.p.ate in many different official variety shows.
Vera told Jiang Yuning the good news over the phone but Jiang Yuning turned down the invitation immediately.
Vera was a little puzzled. It was a good time for Jiang Yuning to consolidate her image but why was Empress Jiang turning down the invitation directly?
“First, I do not want others to solidify my impression. I am an entertainer. I do not want to have so many labels on me. I do not want to be bludgeoned and I do not want to have too many links to the government. This makes me feel very helpless. Secondly, the Lu family had always been very sensitive because of my ident.i.ty as an artiste in the entertainment industry. I do not want other people to think that I will have an official background in future as this will be very detrimental to the Lu family. Thirdly, whether it is about Dongdong or whether it is about the cultural exchange meeting, I was obliged to do so. However, I am not rus.h.i.+ng into any more of this. So, please give me some leeway, Vera.”
When Vera heard Jiang Yuning’s words, she felt that it made complete sense.
There were some things that would be better if they did not accept it.
“Well, I just think that it is a pity because it is such a good opportunity.”
“If I were to partic.i.p.ate in a variety program, I want to do it to entertain everyone. I prefer to do something that I will like and enjoy,” Jiang Yuning replied immediately. “Moreover, I want to feel proud of myself when someone praises me.”
In short, when the public thought that Jiang Yuning would be moving closer to an official variety program, they heard that Jiang Yuning had already turned down the invitation to appear in the program.
Everyone in the entertainment industry thought that Jiang Yuning would definitely use this opportunity to reach the next level. However, she unexpectedly chose to move forward steadily instead of rus.h.i.+ng to take the most important step.
At this time, the Ginger Candies were all at ease as they said, “Empress Jiang always knows what she wants! Therefore, she will always be fighting a slow and steady battle!”
…
The next day, Lu Jingzhi wore an even more formal attire than usual because he had to attend an important event that night.
When he put on the double-breasted dark blue retro suit, he looked even more superior and magnificent than he usually looked.
However, after Lu Jingzhi got into the car, Secretary Ho closed the door before he said in a solemn manner, “Princ.i.p.al, I heard some rumors…”
“You don’t need to say it.”
If Secretary Ho knew about it, how could he possibly not know about it?
This was simply because he was going to marry the little descendant. Therefore, this would prove to be a threat to his ident.i.ty. After all, Jiang Yuning was someone from the entertainment industry and had complicated social relations. The 489 Group felt as though their exquisite top secret and confidentiality rule had been breached and this was the bottom line for them.
The old fas.h.i.+oned people in the 489 Group refused to let this go. Moreover, there were also people who were trying to take advantage of this opportunity to take over Lu Jingzhi’s position.
“Don’t tell Yuning about this.”
“Princ.i.p.al…does that mean that you have already known about this all along?” Secretary Ho asked out of curiosity.
“Someone mentioned it not too long ago and I have also been considering a transfer recently.”
So, it was true.
Secretary Ho’s eyes widened at this time.
He initially thought that this was just a baseless rumor and that the princ.i.p.al’s position was still secure. However, unexpectedly, it turned out to be true.
“Princ.i.p.al, don’t you think that you are giving up too much for the young mistress?”
“You might think that I am giving something up but I am actually choosing a better path for my family and myself. You will understand this when you get married one day.”
After that, this become a shared secret between the both of them. Even old master Lu did not know that his precious grandson’s workplace had already changed.
However, man naturally had to consider their options. Since there were so many limitations and since he was constantly pressured by a group of old fas.h.i.+oned people, Lu Jingzhi had no choice but to fight back.
However, he did not want the little descendant to find out about this matter.
A man’s battlefield was constantly changing and he simply wanted his wife and family to be able to live freely the way they wanted to.
“Anyway, princ.i.p.al, no matter where you decide to go, I will always follow you. I will always stay loyal to you!”
At this time, Lu Jingzhi really did not expect to hear such a heartfelt remark from Secretary Ho.
