156: Dilraba: What's with that expression? Xu Lu: Little girl, let me take you to eat first!

"Xu Lu, what kind of expression is that? What, are you unhappy to see me?"

Noticing Xu Lu seemed stunned, Reba, who had just returned from the magic city fortress, asked.

"How could that be! I was just thinking, how did you, Little Girl, suddenly return from the magic city fortress? Could it be that the Program Production Team fired you?"

Xu Lu snapped back to reality and blurted out.

Reba immediately raised her small fist and said, annoyed:

"Nonsense! I wasn't fired by the Program Production Team. I just happened to have a few days free recently, so I came back to visit!"

"Unlike some people, after so long, they didn't even think about coming to see me once. How heartless!"

"Cough cough, you can't just say things like that. Didn't I specifically go to the magic city fortress last time?"

Xu Lu almost choked and quickly said.

But Reba directly exposed his lie, saying:

"Don't think I don't know. You went to the magic city fortress last time to help someone with Geomancy. Seeing me was just an afterthought.

Hmph, Sister Mi told me all about it. Do you think I'd still be kept in the dark by you? Don't you know who I am?"

"Alright, alright, you're amazing, you're amazing!"

Xu Lu raised his hands in surrender, not planning to continue this topic.

Fortunately, Reba had no intention of pressing the attack and quickly said again:

"Xu Lu, I just came in and saw that everyone from your company has left. Oh, your beautiful Little Assistant left too?

What? Your movie is released today. Is no one accompanying you to the movie? A little pitiful, huh!"

At this point, Reba paused, then quickly continued:

"It just so happens that this girl has nothing to do, so I'll reluctantly accompany you to watch your movie, alright?

Speaking of which, what kind of name did you give it? summers melancholy, it's so weird and unpleasant."

"Tsk! If you want to watch a movie with me, just say so. Why make so many excuses? It's tiring!"

Xu Lu was no pushover either, and added:

"Besides, if I really wanted to find someone to watch a movie with, I'd just shout in the live broadcast room later.

At that time, there would be at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, people who want to watch a movie with me. Do you believe it?"

"Then go ahead and shout now. I'll wait right here and see if a thousand or eight hundred people come running!"

Reba immediately challenged him.

Xu Lu blinked, stood up, and said:

"However, since some people traveled all the way from the magic city fortress to accompany me to watch a movie, I can't disappoint them!

So I won't call anyone today. Let's go, Little Girl, this lord will take you to eat first, and then we'll watch the movie."

"Tsk! That's more like it!"

Hearing this, Reba finally secretly smiled.

Actually, for a moment, she was really worried that Xu Lu would call people. Fortunately, he was just joking.

"Hmph, if he really called many people over, I would definitely turn around and leave without hesitation!

But since he didn't call anyone and is so sincere, I'll reluctantly go with him to watch it!

Lest he finds the box office too low and cries sadly, I can still hand him tissues then."

Thinking of this, Reba's curiosity resurfaced, and she said:

"Xu Lu, did you offend Xia Lifei's people again? I found out that Xia Lifei also has a movie released tonight?"

"Am I that idle, offending this person and that person all day long?"

Xu Lu rolled his eyes speechlessly, then said:

"It was those guys who actively sought trouble with me, alright? I didn't even take them seriously at first.

Who knew these guys would stick to me like snot? It's truly disgusting!"

"Then what will you do? Xia Lifei is quite strong in the film and television industry.

They deliberately scheduled their movie to be released on the same day as yours, just to steal your box office!"

Reba said with some concern:

"Moreover, you gave the movie a messy name. Now you're in trouble. If the box office flops, it'll be a problem!"

"Hehehe, don't talk nonsense, what flop or not!"

Xu Lu raised his hand to cover her mouth, but she dodged him. He then said:

"In fact, I'm not worried about them stealing my box office. On the contrary, they are the ones in trouble!"

"Are you that confident in your 'summers melancholy'?"

Reba asked curiously.

Although she knew that Xu Lu didn't seem to lack money, it was still a project that invested tens of millions.

If the box office really flopped, let alone losing money, the effort poured into it alone would be a great pity.

Xu Lu smiled, not answering directly, just saying:

"Whether there's confidence or not, it's not up to me to say, nor is it up to others. It's up to the audience!

I won't say anything now. After you watch the movie tonight, you'll know the answer to this question."

"Alright then!"

Reba nodded doubtfully, then immediately said:

"Xu Lu, I want to eat something delicious, the one in that small alley where you took me the first time we were in the same film crew!"

"What small alley? I've forgotten!"

Xu Lu said casually.

Upon hearing this, Reba immediately stopped with her hands on her hips, her legs appearing straight and slender:

"I don't care, you better remember quickly! I want to go to that one. I've been wanting to eat there ever since I was in the magic city fortress."

"Alright, alright, I'm really scared of you. Why do you, Little Girl, have so many demands...?"

Xu Lu waved his hand, annoyed.

Fortunately.

Although everyone else in the company had left work, the driver knew Xu Lu needed a car, so he had stayed.

Once the two got into the car, Xu Lu told the driver, Old He, an address.

Reba, who also heard the address, happily narrowed her eyes and muttered to herself:

"Hmph, who was it just now who said they forgot? Now they remember the address so clearly."

...Seven fifty in the evening, Tianhong Cinema.

Most of Da Xu Culture Media's employees had already entered by this time.

Because the company provided plenty of tickets, everyone either brought family or invited friends.

However, by now, everyone realized that President Xu seemed not to have arrived yet.

"Should we call President Xu?" someone quietly asked.

"Uh, could President Xu be embarrassed to come because no one is accompanying him?

We should have known not to enter so quickly and just waited for President Xu.

How about we all go out and wait a bit longer?"

Someone suggested this.

Hearing this, Little Assistant, who had brought her best friend to watch the movie, suddenly felt a bit regretful, thinking to herself:

"If only I had known, I wouldn't have brought my best friend. It would have been much better to accompany President Xu!"

However, soon, Da Xu Culture's employees stopped their discussions, and Little Assistant also stopped regretting.

Because at this moment, everyone suddenly saw a man and a woman walk into the cinema entrance.

The man was, of course, the familiar President Xu, but the woman had large sunglasses on her face, making her features unclear.

Thus, the same question immediately arose in everyone's minds:

"Who exactly is this woman accompanying President Xu to the movie?"
