Chapter 275: Selfishness

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Sometimes, Song Jia felt a little regretful that Lu Zhen was not an ordinary person. If Lu Zhen was really an ordinary girl, perhaps she would not be so career-minded. She would be able to have something else in her heart.

For example, love.

For example, him.

However, Song Jia knew very well that if Lu Zhen was not like this, he might not like her so much. What he liked about her was the quiet but resilient quality of hers, and her pursuit of her dreams.

In the eyes of outsiders, Song Jia was a successful elite, but only Song Jia knew that he didn’t understand what he wanted at all. His life had long been destroyed and rebuilt. He had long forgotten what kind of dream he had when he was young. It was as if it had been a lifetime ago.

For someone like him, Lu Zhen’s tenacity and persistence deeply attracted him. In the end, he fell bit by bit, as if someone in the darkness had fallen in love with the distant sun.

The vibration of his cell phone made Song Jia’s unfocused eyes gradually return to normal. He picked up the call and said in fluent and elegant French, “It seems like there’s good news?”

Lucille’s laughter came from the other end of the line. “I can’t hide anything from you, Song. Thank you for helping me. I defeated that guy! When I finish handing over the work in the Asia-Pacific region, I’ll return to the headquarters to take up a position. I wonder when we’ll meet next.”

“It’s nothing. I’ll congratulate you first.” After knowing that Lucille had successfully been promoted, Song Jia’s tone was filled with sincere congratulations. He and Lucille were old friends. Although there were some exchanges of interests between the two of them, there was still a sincere friendship.

“I’ve been busy recently, so I might not have a chance to treat you to a meal. I’ll make up for it the next time we meet.” After saying that, Lucille thought of something. “By the way, Samir’s movie is about to start filming. Did you successfully get the role of the Asian face? With Guan Yun’s international popularity, there shouldn’t be anyone who can compete with her for an Asian actress, right?”

Lucille still remembered what Song Jia had asked her to find out and asked. Song Jia was silent for two seconds before saying, “No, that role wasn’t fought for Guan Yun.’

Lucille was stunned for a moment. Smartly, she quickly thought of something. “It’s the girl? Lu?”

“Yes, she’s an artist that our company is focusing on nurturing. We want her to have a higher starting point,” Song Jia said frankly.

“Oh, I see. At first, I thought you wanted me to ask around so that Guan Yun could fight for this role.” Lucille sighed.

“The entertainment industry is really a cruel place. Although Guan Yun is also very good, she is no longer young. It is normal for Jia Le to give better opportunities to newbies. However, Song, are you really not selfish in this matter? You…

Lucille’s pause was ambiguous. Song Jia looked at his deep and silent eyes in the glass and said slowly, “Work is work.”

Song Jia didn’t say the second half of the sentence—selfishness was selfishness.

The decision at work was made by the company’s leadership. He would not give better resources to Lu Zhen for selfish reasons. However, it was not that he did not have any selfish motives for Lu Zhen. He had too many selfish motives for her.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t say a single word.

“That’s how you do things.” Lucille recalled that she hadn’t heard any news of Song Jia’s relationship recently and guessed that he and Lu Zhen might not have made much progress. After all, one was a celebrity in the company and the other was the boss. It shouldn’t be easy for them to be together, so Lucille didn’t ask further.

A few days later, Lu Zhen obtained the exact date of Samir’s arrival in the country. That shining opportunity seemed to have become even more specific in front of her eyes. As Ye Xuan was not so busy with work, she took Lu Zhen to some extremely expensive cafeterias in the capital to eat.

“This is to nurture the nobility on you,” Ye Xuan said. After saying that, she added, “Anyway, the money is reimbursed by someone.”

The person Ye Xuan was talking about was naturally Song Jia. In Ye Xuan’s eyes, Lu Zhen and Song Jia’s relationship seemed to be extraordinary. When Lu Zhen heard this, she explained helplessly, “There’s really nothing between Song Jia and me.”

“Nothing?” Ye Xuan stuffed a piece of sashimi into her mouth. “Alright, you might be fine, but not necessarily him. To be honest, I’ve known him for so many years, but this is the first time I’ve seen him so concerned about someone. I used to think that even if I became a romantic one day, he would still be that cold and high-and-mighty relationship machine. I really didn’t expect this..”
