Chapter 8 Miss Jiang is the most honored guest of our Lu family!
"Disappeared for six years? Then suddenly reappeared?" Lu Zongming was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up.
"Get the car ready! Take that set of century-old wild ginseng from my study, and that bank card. I'm going to pay Mr. Shen a personal visit!"
Such an extraordinary encounter must belong to a reclusive master.
Meeting such a person is the greatest fortune of his life, and he must befriend him with the utmost sincerity.
Otherwise, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.
"Mr. Lu, you've just woken up. The doctor said you still need to rest in bed..."
The assistant quickly tried to dissuade him.
"What are you waiting for!" Lu Zongming glared at him.
"That was a reclusive master who saved my life. It's only right that I personally go to thank him! To be even a moment slower would be impolite!"
In less than an hour, three black minivans came to a smooth stop downstairs in the Chunjiang Garden residential complex.
The neighbors were stunned and began to discuss why so many important people had come to this old neighborhood.
Ignoring all that, Lu Zongming carefully straightened his clothes, personally carried the gift box, and, surrounded by bodyguards and assistants, went up to the third floor.
When they arrived at Shen Yu's house, Lu Zongming asked everyone to wait at the bottom of the stairs, and then he went up and knocked on the door himself.
The door opened quickly, and Shen Yu stood inside, looking at Lu Zongming in the doorway with no surprise on his face. He stepped aside to let him pass.
"Mr. Lu, please come in."
He had long anticipated that Lu Zongming would come looking for him; his divine sense detected them as soon as they arrived at the apartment building.
Looking at his calm and composed demeanor, Lu Zongming felt even more admiration for him, and quickly bowed respectfully, his tone extremely courteous:
"Mr. Shen, thank you so much for saving my life yesterday. I've come to express my gratitude today."
Once inside, Lu Zongming placed the gift box and bank card on the table and sincerely thanked them again.
"Mr. Shen, this is just a small token of my gratitude for saving my life. If it weren't for you, I, an old man, would have been dead on the street yesterday."
Shen Yu glanced at the things on the table and said calmly:
"It was nothing, no need for gifts. I saved you not for those things."
Shen Yu could easily cure all his chronic ailments and even regulate his body. He was practically a living god who could decide life and death!
Lu Zongming had originally intended to become Shen Yu's apprentice, but seeing Shen Yu's aloof and indifferent demeanor, he dared not speak rashly.
She could only speak cautiously, but she was determined to befriend this Mr. Shen no matter what.
After exchanging a few words, Lu Zongming subtly inquired about Shen Yu's situation.
Shen Yu didn't hide anything, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable certainty:
"I disappeared for many years and just returned to Jiangcheng. I live across the street from my wife and children."
Lu Zongming immediately took it to heart. Under the pretext of going to the restroom, he turned around and asked his assistant to investigate.
In less than ten minutes, the assistant sent all of Jiang Xinlan's information to his phone without missing a single word.
An artist signed with Xingyao Entertainment was suppressed and sidelined for many years by Vice President Zhang, who was in charge of artists at the company, because he refused to accept the unspoken rules of the industry.
He is currently working as a stunt double in the film crew of "The Wind Rises in Chang'an". Yesterday, he had a direct conflict with the female lead, Lin Weiwei, on set and was badly beaten up.
After reading it, Lu Zongming was both angry and scared, and his back was soaked with sweat!
Xingyao Entertainment is a company controlled by the Lu family. How dare these blind fools in their own company bully their savior?!
This is a hermit who can cure his heart attack and eradicate his chronic illnesses with ease. Not to mention protecting his wife and children, even if it were the entire Xingyao Entertainment, Lu Zongming would have to offer it up with both hands!
How dare they bully people like this?
What if Mr. Shen holds a grudge against Lu Zongming because of this? Wouldn't that mean...?
Thinking of this, he quickly turned around and went back to the living room, bowed and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Shen Yu, his tone full of guilt and anger:
"Mr. Shen, it is my fault for not disciplining my subordinates properly! They were blind and dared to bully Miss Jiang. I apologize to you!"
Shen Yu didn't move his hand holding the teacup, his fingertips casually stroking the inside of the cup, his face expressionless.
However, a faint aura of a Transcending Tribulation Immortal Venerable emanated from his body, causing Lu Zongming to hold his breath instantly.
"I left unexpectedly six years ago, leaving her to raise the child alone for six years."
Shen Yu looked up at Lu Zongming, his gaze sharp as a sword.
"I will not let anyone who bullied her get away with it, whether it's Lin Weiwei from the film crew, the assistant director, or Vice President Zhang from the company."
Lu Zongming quickly responded, bending even lower:
"Mr. Shen, please rest assured! Xingyao Entertainment is a business owned by the Lu family, and Miss Jiang is our most honored guest!"
Anyone who dares to lay a finger on Miss Jiang is going against me, Lu Zongming, and the entire Lu family!
"I'll make the arrangements right now. Not only will I get rid of those idiots, but I'll also ensure that Miss Jiang has a smooth and successful career in the industry, and never suffers the slightest grievance!"
He already held Shen Yu in high esteem, and now that he heard Shen Yu directly reveal Jiang Xinlan's identity, he dared not be negligent in the slightest.
This is someone that a reclusive master cherishes dearly. Not to mention protecting him, even if he were to praise him to the heavens, he would still handle things perfectly.
Shen Yu nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Lu Zongming.
"Although your old ailment has been cured, the damage from your youth is still there. I'll write you a prescription. Follow the prescription, get the medicine, and nourish yourself for half a month, and you'll be completely cured."
Since Lu Zongming is sensible, he won't let him work for nothing.
Consider this recipe a reward.
Shen Yu casually wrote down a prescription and handed it to Lu Zongming.
Lu Zongming's eyes lit up instantly. He stood up excitedly, took the prescription, and bowed again:
"Thank you so much, Mr. Shen! Thank you so much, Mr. Shen! I, Lu Zongming, will never forget your great kindness!"
Having lived to such an old age, he had long seen through the allure of wealth and power; health and longevity were the only things that could not be obtained through begging.
Shen Yu was able to cure his illness and even prescribed a remedy to regulate his body. It wouldn't be an exaggeration for him to treat such a reclusive master as a god.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Lu Zongming dared not disturb Shen Yu's rest any longer. He bowed respectfully and took his leave, leading his men away from the family compound.
As soon as he got downstairs and into his car, Lu Zongming's respectful expression vanished, replaced by a cold and stern look. He immediately took out his phone and called Zhao Feng, the chairman of Xingyao Entertainment.
"Zhao Feng, I have a question for you. Is there an actress named Jiang Xinlan in the 'Wind Rises in Chang'an' production team?"
Zhao Feng, on the other end of the phone, was taken aback by the question, and quickly replied, "Yes, Mr. Lu, it seems there is such a person. He is a junior artist signed by the company and is currently working as a stunt double on the film set."
"substitute?"
Lu Zongming's temper flared instantly, and his voice suddenly rose.
"Let me tell you, Zhao Feng, from this moment on, Jiang Xinlan is my benefactor, Lu Zongming's benefactor. Not only you, the chairman, but even the entire Lu family has to treat her with utmost respect!"
"Anyone in the company or the 'Wind Rises in Chang'an' production team who has ever made things difficult for or targeted Jiang Xinlan, get out of here immediately! Blacklist her from the entire industry!"
"Furthermore, Ms. Jiang is capable and talented. In the future, all the company's high-quality resources will be prioritized for her, and no one will be allowed to make things difficult for her!"
"If Miss Jiang suffers even the slightest grievance at the company or on set, you might as well quit being the chairman!"
Zhao Feng, on the other end of the phone, broke out in a cold sweat and quickly agreed.
"Yes, yes, yes! Don't worry, Mr. Lu! I'll take care of it right away! I will absolutely not let Miss Jiang suffer the slightest grievance!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Feng was still shaken. He couldn't understand how this unknown stand-in, Jiang Xinlan, had caught Old Master Lu's eye.
This is no mere stand-in; this is clearly a living Buddha who cannot be touched!
When Zhao Feng sent his secretary to inquire about Jiang Xinlan's situation and learned that she had been harassed at every turn while filming, he had already cursed Lin Weiwei and Vice President Zhang to the bone in his mind.
Those two clueless fools almost cost him his position as chairman!
Without daring to delay for even a moment, Zhao Feng immediately grabbed his coat and rushed to the filming location of "The Wind Rises in Chang'an".
