You go crazy, I make things worse, I make everyone cry and become the favorite of the group

Chapter 22 Moral Kidnapping
In the end, it was Lao Gao who applied the medicine on Lu Huai as well.

Facing Jiang Sier's gossipy and kind eyes, Lao Gao felt like a thorn in his back. He quickly helped Lu Huai wipe it and hurriedly sat back.

"Hey, Ms. Jiang..." Facing Jiang Sier's scrutiny, Lao Gao sat closer to her and tried to explain to her in a low voice.

He didn't even need to guess. Just by looking at the look in Mr. Jiang's eyes, he knew that she must have had some wrong thoughts.

Jiang Si'er really wanted to know what he was going to say, so she secretly gestured to him under the table where Lu Huai couldn't see, and looked like she understood everything.

What do you know!

Fortunately, the dishes were served in time, breaking the gloomy and slightly weird atmosphere.

Because Lao Gao was there, Jiang Si'er and Lu Huai understood each other tacitly. There was almost no verbal communication during the meal, only an unintentional glance at each other.

Seeing that he had almost finished eating, Lao Gao put down his chopsticks and made eyes at Jiang Sier desperately.

“?” Jiang Sier didn’t understand and looked puzzled.

Hiss. Lao Gao was a little anxious and quickly motioned her to look at the bag he had placed on the chair beside him.

The contract inside!!!
Oh……

You kid, you still have evil intentions.

Jiang Sier laughed, pretended not to understand, turned his head and concentrated on pouring himself some juice.

“……” Lao Gao coughed and started making gestures under the table.

Come on! Mr. Jiang!
In a little while, everyone will go back home and see their mothers!
Jiang Sier ignored him.

Across the round table, Lu Huai also saw the interaction between the two. He put down his water cup and took the initiative to speak: "Manager Gao."

"Hey, Teacher Lu!" Lao Gao looked up.

"I heard that Croissant has started signing new artists recently. Have you found any good ones?"

"Well." Lao Gao scratched his head. He actually didn't know what Jiang Sier had been doing recently. "We at Croissant had no plans to sign new people for a while, but recently..."

The words were already on the tip of his tongue, but Lao Gao suddenly fell silent, his face turning red.

"I'm not particularly sure either. Let's let Mr. Jiang and Teacher Lu talk."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Sier silently released his foot from under the table.

Lao Gao took a breath.

Looking at Jiang Sier again, she still had no change of expression. When she heard Lao Gao calling her, she pretended to have just reacted and took over the conversation naturally, "I mentioned it to you last time. I just took over Croissant, and the situation of the company's artists is not optimistic, so at first I wanted to seize the opportunity and spend the money where it really should be spent."

"Alas." She suddenly sighed, "Plans can't keep up with changes."

She lowered her head and looked lonely.

Although he knew that this might be an act, Lu Huai still couldn't help but show concern and asked her what happened.

She shook her head slightly, followed by another sigh.

Under Lu Huai's concerned gaze, she slowly said, "Originally, the company's funds were more than enough to sign two more first-line stars. But I invested in the play "Drunken Chang'an" some time ago, which emptied my family's funds."

"I can only sign two new artists now to try to save the company. How can an agency be without artists? However, I have tried my best. As for the rest, we can only leave it to fate, except for everyone's own conscience."

On the side, Lao Gao realized Jiang Sier's intention belatedly.

How could he not know who the words "Everyone depends on their conscience" implied? He was just short of calling Lu Huaiye by his full name!

It seems that Xiao Jiang always uses moral blackmail.

He was saying, why did Mr. Jiang suddenly announce to the public a few days ago that he wanted to sign a new person, but he didn't give any clear instructions.

It turned out to be waiting here!
Lao Gao could hear it, and Lu Huai was no exception. He didn't disagree, he just needed a firm answer.

"Jiang Sier, I'm curious, is it you who wants to sign me or is it Croissant who wants to sign me?"

This question may seem insignificant at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that... it is better not to think about it.

Jiang Sier: “Both.”

It is better to answer this kind of question in a tactful way.

Lu Huai is also a moody person. Who knows where he will step on the landmine?

"All of our Croissant executives admire and like you very much, including me!"

This is true. It may seem like nice and empty talk, but it is actually the truth.

Lao Gao really must have Lu Huai now, his admiration and liking for him is more than just ordinary.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Lu Huai on the opposite side also raised his lips and smiled lightly, "I'm sorry, I can't consider croissants for the time being."

Lu Huai didn't expect that she would choose "or" in the end between "yes" or "no".

Jiang Sier looked serious and asked Lao Gao to hand over the contract. "Here is the contract. You can take a look at it first. If you have any additional conditions, we can discuss it again."

His words left room for maneuver, which means that he is not unable to come to Croisette, but he has the conditions.

She said, there is no one who cannot be pried open, and if someone cannot be pried open, it only means that the conditions are not attractive enough.

Within her bottom line, she still has room to increase the stakes, she doesn't believe she can't get him!

"Right, right, right!" Lao Gao quickly agreed: "Teacher Lu, if you have any concerns or troubles, you can tell us. We will do our best to solve them for you!"

Jiang Sier rolled her eyes silently. She was not here to do charity.

Unexpectedly, Lu Huai did not even glance at the contract, but just asked: "In that case, I do have something that has been troubling me recently and I have not received an answer."

"Teacher Lu, you say!"

"Whose idea was it that made you choose to sign Pei Du in the first place?"

"Yes..." Lao Gao subconsciously wanted to look at Jiang Sier, but the next second he felt pain in his foot again, and he almost jumped up in pain!

Having just overturned the car once, Jiang Sier was more cautious this time: "Of course, this is the result of our joint discussion in the meeting."

"Ah, yes!" Receiving Jiang Sier's eye hint, Lao Gao nodded: "At that time, we held a meeting to summarize the artists who had recent intentions in this regard."

Jiang Si'er had been observing Lu Huaiye's expression. After Lao Gao finished speaking, she tentatively added, "Including you."

"I'm among them too?" Lu Huai looked over with some surprise.

Jiang Sier seemed to understand something and immediately said, "Of course, you are the first one to be affected! It's on the first page."

"I wanted to contact you from the beginning, but with your current status, I really didn't have much confidence at the time, and I was also afraid that you would think I was unreliable, so I put it off until now."

“I really want to sign you.”

After that, the box fell into silence again.

The two people's eyes collided in the air, undercurrents surged, and no one chose to look away.

This is no less than a game.

Lao Gao sat aside, not daring to make a sound, and watched the fight silently.

Jiang Sier's eyes were sore and he couldn't help blinking. Then there was a noise from the other side, and Lu Huai also stood up, "I'll take the contract first, I'll consider the signing."
