Chapter 467 - 466: Taking Lu Yunfeng to the Bar

Lu Yunfeng had turned down quite a few dinner invitations to come today.

However, his dinner invitations were a bit different from the work-related ones Lu Yunque attended.

His car was subject to driving restrictions today, so he even had to take a taxi over.

Now, seeing that Yun Zijin was about to leave, Lu Yunfeng quickly followed, hoping to catch a ride.

But if both Lu Yunfeng and Yun Zijin left, the only person left with Lu Yunzhou would be Mrs. Zhang.

"I’m not in a huge rush. Let’s wait for Auntie Huo to come back before we go."

Lu Yunzhou had thought they were about to leave, but he didn’t expect Yun Zijin to suddenly change her mind.

Lu Yunzhou could tell that Yun Zijin was afraid he’d get all emo if there was no one around to keep him company.

"I’m fine. If you two have things to do, you can go ahead. My mom will be back soon."

It was just a physical check-up; it wouldn’t take long.

"It’s no trouble for us to wait."

Although Mrs. Zhang was also there, she was, after all, an employee of the Lu Family. The constraints of her position meant she was bound to be reserved.

"Yeah, Bro, let’s wait."

Lu Yunfeng hadn’t thought of that. It was only after hearing Yun Zijin suggest waiting that his brain caught up.

Since they both insisted, Lu Yunzhou didn’t say anything more.

Meanwhile, Yun Zijin’s phone had been vibrating constantly since noon, but since she was still in Lu Yunzhou’s hospital room, she hadn’t had a chance to look at it.

Lu Yunfeng and Yun Zijin waited in Lu Yunzhou’s room for about ten minutes before Huo Yue Lan returned with the doctor in charge of his examination.

"Auntie Huo, I have a class this afternoon, so I’ll get going."

Yun Zijin said her goodbyes to Huo Yue Lan.

"Auntie, I have some things to take care of too, so I’ll leave with Sister Yun. It’s perfect since I didn’t drive today."

"Leaving already? Why not stay for lunch? Someone from the old family estate just messaged me. Lunch will be here any minute."

Considering both Yun Zijin and Lu Yunfeng were there, she had even specially requested their favorite dishes be packed.

As for Lu Yunzhou, he could only enjoy a patient’s meal.

"I appreciate the thought, but the hospital is a bit far from campus. I might be late if I stay for lunch, so I’ll just eat when I get back to school."

Since Yun Zijin put it that way, Huo Yue Lan didn’t press the issue.

After all, she couldn’t make Yun Zijin late for class just to have her stay for a meal.

"Alright then. The Old Master and Old Madam were just mentioning you to me today, saying they haven’t seen you in a long time. You should come visit the estate when you have a chance."

Huo Yue Lan had heard the two elders ramble on about this more than once, but she wasn’t Yun Zijin and couldn’t make decisions for her.

"Okay, I’ll definitely go when I have time."

At the mention of the Lu Family’s two elders, a smile appeared on Yun Zijin’s face. She had met them a few times, and her interactions with them had always been very pleasant.

Leaving the convalescent hospital, Lu Yunfeng trotted eagerly after Yun Zijin. "Sister Yun, if you’re heading back to school, could you drop me off at the bar Sheng Yang owns?"

He didn’t have his car and was too lazy to call for one.

Sheng Yang inspected his bar every day, so he’d just hitch a ride with him today.

Besides, he didn’t have a job to go to, so it didn’t matter where he went each day.

"Alright, I’ll take you to Sheng Yang’s bar first."

Sheng Yang’s bar was near Dijing University. With its nice atmosphere, relatively moderate prices, and excellent security with guards on patrol, it was a popular spot for students from nearby schools to hang out on weekends or for group dinners.

Riding on this popularity with students, Sheng Yang had really made a name for himself.

At any rate, she hadn’t seen Sheng Yang crying about being poor recently; he even had money to buy handbags for Su Mengyao.

Su Mengyao had posted about it on her Moments and in their four-person group chat, so it left a deep impression on Yun Zijin.

Without needing any instruction from Yun Zijin, the driver, Ling Qi, already knew the next destination.

First, drop off Lu Yunfeng at Sheng Yang’s bar, then take Yun Zijin to the university.

As for lunch, Yun Zijin could just find a restaurant near the school to eat.

Yun Zijin had been poor before, so she wasn’t particularly picky about food.

Before she got the Randomly Spend app, she used to have to pinch every penny, even for a meal at a restaurant.

Finally in the car, Yun Zijin had a moment to open her phone and see who had messaged her.

There were various rants, food pictures, and scenic views from Su Mengyao and the other two.

Fan Qingmao had sent her the final cast list for *God and Demon Record*. Yun Zijin glanced over it, and only after confirming that none of the actors for the more important roles were likely to be involved in a scandal did she finally reply with her approval.

But to Yun Zijin’s surprise, Gao Mi had also sent her a message separately.

She opened Gao Mi’s chat window. Their conversation history was sparse.

What Gao Mi had sent her today was about a special guest appearance that had just been decided.

The guest role was for the female lead’s teacher, a person who would influence her for the rest of her life and give her the motivation to strive for success.

You could say that without this teacher, the female lead wouldn’t have become the person she did.

The reason it had taken so long to cast was due to Gao Mi’s picky and perfectionistic nature.

If he couldn’t find the right person, he’d rather leave the role empty than settle for less.

It was only because of Yun Zijin—who invested her money and then didn’t meddle at all—that Gao Mi felt free to let himself go.

Meeting an investor who put in the money and then acted as a hands-off boss, not asking about the production’s progress at all, was a godsend.

Gao Mi had messaged her this time to get Yun Zijin’s confirmation on whether the actor for the female lead’s teacher was usable.

He didn’t want the TV series to be halfway through filming only to get dragged down and canceled.

Of course, Yun Zijin couldn’t find any useful information herself, so she forwarded it all to Mei Lin as usual.

Mei Lin replied quickly. Yun Zijin eagerly opened the message to check the contents of the file.

Thankfully, the file contained no dirt on the actor; their record was squeaky clean.

After confirming the person was fine, Yun Zijin messaged Gao Mi back.

Gao Mi quickly replied with a "got it" and then went silent. ’He’s probably gone to sign the actor,’ she thought.

Yun Zijin went through all her notifications, ignoring the spam and replying to the ones that needed a response.

By the time Yun Zijin finished handling all her messages, the car was already approaching Sheng Yang’s bar.

"Sorry about that. There were a lot of messages, and I was just replying to them."

"No problem, I get it."

It was just like his brother, Lu Yunque. Even though he never initiated messages with anyone, he still received tons of them every day.

Later on, Lu Yunque separated his work WeChat from his personal one.

He handed his work WeChat over to Mo Bin to manage, and Lu Yunque basically never looked at it.

"Miss, we’ve arrived at your friend’s bar."

The car came to a smooth stop. Zero One, in the front seat, spoke up to inform them.

"We’re here. I’ll get off then. Sister Yun, let’s hang out again next time you’re free."

Lu Yunfeng got out of the car, and while saying goodbye to Yun Zijin, he didn’t forget to arrange another get-together.

"We’ll see when I have time. You go on in."

Lu Yunfeng’s arrival made the people at the bar’s entrance stop and stare.

Only after Lu Yunfeng had entered the bar did Yun Zijin tell Ling Qi to keep driving toward Dijing University.
