Chapter 14

The cell phone and landline ringing at the same time sounded very loud and busy.

Lu Bancheng hadn’t yet walked to the balcony with his cell phone in his hand. He apologized on the phone to Li Yan, “I’m sorry. I need to answer a call right now.”

He walked back to answer the landline and raised the phone to his ear. It was unknown what the person on the other end said, but Lu Bancheng suddenly became very serious. “What? The official website was hacked?”

“Bullsh*t! Of course, I know the new product will be released at eight tonight. I need to see what happened to the website right now!” Lu Bancheng hung up the home phone and grabbed the ringing cell phone on the coffee table. He slid across the phone screen to pick up the call and raised it to his ear. “I understand. The IT Director called, and I’m on it right now.”

Lu Bancheng walked upstairs with one cell phone by his ear and one in his hand as he talked. Jungkook had been sitting on the sofa with his laptop on his lap, seemingly busy doing something. He looked up slightly and glanced at the cell phone in Lu Bancheng’s other hand, which still had “Li Yan ” on the line. He grabbed the pillow and threw it at Lu Bancheng’s back.

Lu Bancheng jumped and recovered himself from the daze. He was about to lose his temper at Jungkook when he saw him pointing at the cell phone in his hand.

Lu Bancheng was shocked for a second and realized something. He said on the call from the company, “Hold on.” He raised the phone with Li Yan on the other line and said, “Xiaoyan, I’m sorry. I have something to handle for work right now. I’ll call you back when I’m done here.” He paused for a second before he asked again, “Is it something urgent? Ok, bye.”

The moment Lu Bancheng hung up the phone on Li Yan, he raised the other phone from the company. “I will be in my…”

Before Lu Bancheng finished talking, Jungkook, on the sofa, picked up his phone and pretentiously pressed a button on it. He looked up at Lu Bancheng and asked with a casual look on his face, “My phone is dead. Can I borrow yours?”

Lu Bancheng was worried about the issue with the company so he tossed the personal phone that he had called Li Yan on to Jungkook. He raced upstairs as he talked with the company.

When the door of the study was slammed closed, Jungkook immediately closed the laptop on his lap and tossed it on the sofa.

He had just hacked Lu Bancheng’s company website and knew he would be busy with it for a while.

He casually leaned against the sofa with Lu Bancheng’s phone and looked for Li Yan’s number. He almost clicked on the call button, but remembered he didn’t sound like Lu Bancheng, so he switched to text messaging. He typed a message to her and sent it over: I have an urgent meeting now. I can’t call you now, but you can text me if you have anything important or urgent to say.”

Lu Bancheng’s cell phone screen lit up after a minute. He had received a text back from Li Yan: “I hope I’m not interrupting your meeting.”

Jungkook texted back without even having to think: “No, you are not.”

He had to wait about five minutes for the next text from her.

“Well, that’s the case. Do you remember the TV series named The Ethos of the Flourishing Tang Dynasty that you made an investment in at the start of the year? For some unknown reason, some changes were made in the script, and the majority of my part was cut out, which is unfair to me… If that’s the last script, then it’ll be hugely different from the conditions in the contract I signed initially. I tried to communicate that to the director many times, but we couldn’t reach an agreement. Since you’re a major investor, would you do me a favor and talk to the director?”
