Welcome to "I'm Trapped in the Same Day for a Thousand Years," exclusively produced by Feilu Novel Network, narrated by Sang Ze Wang Xiaomo Lao He.

Obviously, the reason Lei Cheng's older Lei You, would suddenly call him and talk about the endorsement was because Ding Runlong had called Lei You.

As far as Wu Chen knew, Lei You and Ding Runlong did not know each other, but they were aware of each other's identities.

For Lei You, the actual operator of Hongfa Group, if given the opportunity, he would definitely be willing to befriend Ding Ruilong and establish a relationship with the Ding Family. Having more friends means having more options, not to mention the Ding Family.

Therefore, even if Lei You know Ding Ruilong, if Ding Ruilong suddenly contacted him, he would definitely be willing to communicate with Ding Ruilong more. If Ding Ruilong asked for a favor, he would definitely be willing to help him. However, it was just about the female celebrity endorsement that his younger brother was supporting. This was a very small matter for Lei You. Lei You was naturally very willing to get to know Ding Ruilong through such a small matter.

Ding Ruilong had a brilliant plan: his brother-in-law would directly negotiate with the head of the Lei Family to have Lei You put pressure on Lei Cheng in order to force Tao Manying to break the contract.

That's wishful thinking. Ding Ruilong thinks it might work, and Lei Youzi thinks it definitely will.

The key point is that Lei Cheng lay low for 10 years, and on the surface he showed enough fear. He admitted defeat, gave in, and accepted his fate.

He hid from his older brother, was afraid of him, and didn't even dare to go home.

Everyone thought that Lei Cheng had already failed completely and was no longer capable of making any waves, so it hid in the East Sea, trembling with fear.

He couldn't defy his elder Lei You, which was known to the outside world and also Lei You's opinion, but this was a complete mistake.

Lei Cheng never resigned himself to defeat, never admitted defeat, and never accepted his fate.

He lay low for ten years, secretly making connections with many people, waiting for an opportunity, and then he met Wu Chen.

Wu Chen gave him a chance, and he had already begun to make plans, just waiting for the plans to be completed so that he could deliver a fatal blow to his elder brother.

In this situation, at this critical juncture, if Ding Ruilong asks Lei You to put pressure on Lei Cheng, Ding Ruilong will directly incur Lei Cheng's resentment. Ding Ruilong is interfering in Lei Cheng's family affairs and trying to use the person he hates most in his family to force him to change his mind. This will arouse Lei Cheng's extreme resentment and even anger.

What did he say?

Wu Chen smiled and asked again.

Lei Cheng.

He ordered me to make Manying break the contract.

Lei Cheng chuckled coldly as he spoke.

He deliberately used the word "command," and even told me not to get involved in Ding Ruilong and Li Ruobing's affairs, that the Ding Family and Li Family were not to be trifled with, and that I should cause trouble for my family. What do you say to that?

Wu Chen asked again.

I told him, "Mind your own business."

Lei Cheng.

After saying that, he sneered again, and then said to Wu Chen, "Brother Dao, don't worry. I promised you before that I wouldn't go back to anyone. Who cares who it is? I've already given them face."

I, Li Cheng, am clearly angry. Ding Ruilong has already offended him. I need to calm down.

Wu Cheng smiled and said, "Okay, let's leave it at that for now. I'm having lunch. We'll talk more when we meet."

There was no need to go into too much detail over the phone.

Okay, bro.

After hanging up the phone and putting it down, Wu Chen picked up his chopsticks. Li Ruobing placed a piece of pork kidney in Wu Chen's bowl and casually asked, "Who was that?"

He could vaguely hear a man's voice coming from Wu Chen's phone, but he couldn't make out what he was saying.

Lei Cheng?

Wu Chen glanced at Li Ruobing and said.

Lei Cheng?

Li Ruobing paused, her chopsticks still. "What is it?"

He subconsciously wondered if it was related to an endorsement, which is why he asked.

At this point, Tao Manying's endorsement deal can't afford to go wrong, especially given her relationship with her brother.

Wu Chen chuckled as he spoke, then said, "Let's eat."

Wu Chen indicated that he didn't want to say more, so Li Ruobing didn't ask any further questions.

As long as there are no problems with the endorsement, Lei Jia naturally doesn't care about his internal affairs.

Wu Chen didn't tell him it was related to the endorsement, but rather because Ding Ruirong would secretly meet with Lei Cheng in the East Sea, and Wu Chen would then make things difficult for him.

Just as Wu Chen said to Li Maoren, Ding Ruilong may not die in the East Sea, but he will definitely not leave the East Sea intact, and the fewer people who know about the many things involved, the better.

Li Ruobin may have guessed afterward that Wu Chen was behind it, but guessing and knowing are two different things.

Continue eating.

After eating for a short while, Li Ruobing realized that today's dishes were quite nourishing.

Although it's fine for women to eat these, it seems that chives, oysters, and sea cucumbers are all rumored to be good for men's health. Miss Zhuang made all the dishes today.

With a slight smile, Li Ruobing looked up at Zhuang Xiaodie across from her and asked.

Yes, yes.

Zhuang Xiaodie nodded to Li Ruobin, looking slightly nervous and unnatural.

That's pretty good, much better than mine.

Li Ruobing added.

No, no, Miss Li made it very well yesterday at noon too.

Zhuang Xiaodie quickly replied.

Why are you always so nervous?

I scared you.

Li Ruobing then asked Zhuang Xiaodie with a smile.

No, not at all.

Zhuang Xiaodie didn't know what to say, and looked at Wu Chen for help.

Why are you teasing him?

Wu Chen glanced at Li Ruobing and said.

I feel so sorry for her.

Li Ruobing also glanced at Wu Chen sideways.

Yes, is that not allowed?

Wu Chen countered with a question.

Hmph, fine, my lord, you can do whatever you want.

Li Ruobing snorted. She was in a good mood today because she had done something big with Wu Chen last night. She was too lazy to argue with Wu Chen about women, and she even had a bit of a crush on Zhuang Xiaodie.

As long as it's not Wu Yurong, Wu Chen can like any of his other women; there's a sense of wanting to win them over.

She felt that if Wu Chen's other women were as sensible as Zhuang Xiaodie and even somewhat afraid of her, then her position would truly be unshakeable.

Come on, Xiaodie, eat this.

Li Ruobing suddenly reached out with her chopsticks, picked up a piece of sea cucumber, and placed it in Zhuang Xiao's dish.

She suddenly put food on Zhuang Xiaodie's plate and called her "Xiaodie" instead of "Miss Zhuang," which startled Zhuang Xiaodie.

Thank you so much!

Zhuang Xiaodie said something, then picked up a piece of pork kidney and put it in Li Ruobing's bowl, saying, "Sister, eat, eat more."

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became exceptionally harmonious, almost eerily so.

After the meal lasted for more than half an hour, Zhuang Xiaodie cleared away the dishes, while Wu Chen carried Li Ruobing back upstairs.

Li Ruobing is taking a day off from work today, but she's not completely unemployed; she can handle some matters by phone and participate in video conferences.

Actually, Li Ruobing isn't completely unable to walk, it's just a bit inconvenient for her.

Around 2 p. m., Wu Chen drove his Lamborghini out and arrived at Still Early Café in the Central District about half an hour later.

This is a chain coffee shop with over 2,000 stores nationwide, and its brand positioning is a rather unique high-end business meeting place.

Wu Chen and Song Xuan met here. The reason they chose this place was because they were going to sign a contract, and this coffee shop has Private Dining Room that require a minimum spend.

The Private Dining Room appointment was for 3 PM, Wu Chen arrived early. After getting out of his car, he didn't see Song Xuan's car and went inside first. He opened the Private Dining Room and Private Dining Room, guessing that Song Xuan would arrive soon, as Song Xuan had a habit of arriving early.

Around 2:45 PM, Wu Chen was scrolling through his phone on a sofa in the Private Dining Room when he suddenly received a text message from Song Xun asking if Wu Chen had arrived yet.

Wu Chen replied to him, directly telling him the Private Dining Room number.

Two minutes later, the door to the Private Dining Room opened, and Song Xuan, dressed in a flowing white dress, walked Private Dining Room, followed by the radiant Wu Yurong.

Wu Chen was slightly taken aback. Wu Yurong had actually come with her daughter. He understood immediately and looked at the two of them again. He had to admit they looked very alike, and Wu Yurong looked only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Standing next to his daughter, they looked like sisters.

After Song Xuan and Wu Yurong entered, Wu Yurong's female bodyguard Chu Yan, closed the door from the outside.

The Private Dining Room wasn't large, but it wasn't crowded either. It had a sofa booth layout and was decorated very luxuriously.

After entering, Wu Yurong first looked around the Private Dining Room before looking at Wu Chen; everything seemed very natural.

Wu Chen stood up. "Mom, he's the senior Wu Chen I mentioned to you. He's also from Donghai University and just graduated this year."

Song Xuan spoke, his voice sweet and gentle as he introduced his senior to his mother, Wu Yurong: "This is my mom."

Then, she introduced her mother to Wu Chen. She said, "When I told you that the song you wrote for me became a hit, I insisted on meeting you. My mother studied music back then and loves music very much."

As they spoke, the two walked together to the table.

Wu Yurong Wu Yurong acted as if she were meeting Wu Chen for the first time, extending her hand to Wu Chen with a natural and sweet smile.

Wu Chen Wu Chen also extended his hand, smiling and saying, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Wu. Me too."

Wu Yurong also said.

The two shook hands, and in the instant their eyes met, Wu Yurong winked gently at Wu Chen.

When Xiao Wu called my daughter at noon, we were having lunch.

My classmate Xiao Wu told me before about writing a song for my daughter. I listened to the song and thought it was very well written.

Xiao Wu's own rendition of "Heart's Remedy" is also quite good.

It's rare to see someone as talented as Xiao Wu.

Wu Yurong kept calling Wu Chen "Little Wu" and started praising Wu Chen right away. It seemed like polite, empty words, but he actually wanted Wu Chen to know what had happened.

After hearing what he said, Wu Chen naturally understood everything.

When Song Xuan was on the phone at noon, Wu Yurong was right next to him. He had arranged a time and place to meet with Song Xuan, and Wu Yurong, having overheard this, wanted to come along.

As a mother, he cares about his daughter. His daughter's new song became a hit, and the songwriter who wrote the song for him is incredibly talented. He also signed a contract with his daughter. Wu Yurong wants to gradually Wu Chen. From Song Xuan's perspective, this is all normal.

Wu Yurong knew that Wu Chen Yurong wanted to meet Wu Chen through his daughter Song Xuan to prevent any accidents. Song Xuan n't know about their relationship, or even that they knew each other.

Now that Wu Yurong has officially met Wu Chen through her daughter Song Xuan, any unexpected events that happen afterward, such as Song Xuan catching them together, can be easily explained as long as it's not a particularly unusual situation. After all, they already know each other, so it's easy to come up with a reason for being caught meeting in private.

Ms. Wu, you're too kind. Please, come in and have a seat. Mr. Sun,

Wu Chen smiled and gestured for the three of them to sit down. Wu Chen sat on one side, while Wu Yurong and Song Xuan sat side by side. He then called down a waiter and ordered three coffees. The restaurant served main courses, but they didn't order steak or anything like that.

The three started chatting before the coffee was served.

How old is Xiao Wu this year?

22 years old?

22 years old, two years older than Xingxing.

The young man is quite handsome; he's a local from the East Sea, from a small county town.

What do you do at home?

Wu Yurong started asking Wu Chen all sorts of questions. She was always gentle and sweet, and this way of asking questions not only didn't make people feel offended, but even made them want to talk to her.

However, his questions were all nonsense. He knew Wu Chen's situation very well; he was just putting on an act for Song Xuan, and Wu Chen was just cooperating with him.

A few minutes later, three cups of coffee were served. Wu Yurong picked up her coffee, took a sip, and then asked Wu Chen, "Where are you working now, young Wu?"

At this moment, Song Xuan spoke up, taking Wu Yurong's arm, "Mom, are you checking my household registration? Why do you keep asking these questions?"

He felt that his mother was being a bit too much, asking too many questions.

But he wasn't unaware of his mother's state of mind; she was worried he was being deceived and cared about him, which was why she was asking him, her senior, so many questions.

Just ask.

Wu Yurong glanced at her daughter, then looked at Wu Chen, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "I just want to know, what kind of family raised such an outstanding boy as Xiao Wu? He really knows how to talk."

Song Xuan knew this; his mother was just good at talking and never made anyone dislike her.

Ms. Wu, you flatter me. Compared to you, I am far from being excellent.

Wu Chen said modestly.

Oh, you know me?

Wu Yurong looked somewhat surprised.

Of course, everyone at school knows about Classmate Song's family situation.

Senlan Group?

Wu Chen smiled.

Oh, I see.

Wu Yurong smiled, took another sip of coffee, and continued chatting.

However, the next topic was not about Wu Chen personally, but about songs and songwriting.

Wu Yurong is also very insightful in music. He has a formal musical education and can readily use professional terms such as adagio, secondary rhythm, chords, modulation, harmonics, and diacritics. Wu Chen naturally understands them all.

Although Song Xuan did not study music, music is his passion, and he has studied it extensively and understands it well.

The three of them really hit it off when it came to music, mainly talking about the two songs that Xingyin A Song for Me as an antidote, and discussing with Wu Chen how they were created. They chatted for a good twenty minutes. Seeing that his mother seemed quite satisfied with Wu Chen, Song Xuan felt relieved.

He was afraid that his mother would think Wu Chen was deliberately approaching him with ulterior motives, and that she would stop him from seeing Wu Chen after their meeting. He was also worried that his mother would interfere with his singing career later.

Now it seems that the mother and Wu Chen were having a very pleasant conversation.

Senior, I brought the contract!

Finally, they got to the contract. Song Jun took the contract out of his bag. It was a thick stack of two copies. This was a contract he had prepared for him by the legal department of Senlan Group, and it was very professional.

Senior, please check if there are any problems.

As he spoke, Song Xuan handed the contract to Wu Chen.

Wu Chen took it and began to look through it carefully. He was still in a state of acting, even though he had complete confidence in Song Xuan's character.

Wu Chen was flipping through the contract when he said, "Mom, I'm going to the Restroom."

Song Xuan suddenly tilted his head and whispered something to his mother, then picked up his bag, got up, and walked out.

As the door closed again, Wu Chen, who was looking at the contract, looked up at Wu Yuerong Wu Chen from him, smiled, and asked a question in a subtle tone.

How?

Wu Yurong smiled and asked in return.

Wu Chen then stood up, walked around the table, went to Wu Chen's side, turned around, and sat directly in Wu Chen, wrapping her arms around Wu Chen's neck, looking at Wu Chen with tender eyes, and said, "Can't I call you Little Wu?"

No, it's not that I can't call Wu Chen.

Looking at Wu Yurong, who was so close, he smiled and said, "It's quite strange."

Is that strange?

Wu Yurong, carefully choosing her tone, moved her face closer to Wu Chen's, looking into his eyes, and asked in a coquettish voice, "Then what should I call you?"

Husband?

After Wu Chen finished asking his question, he kissed Wu Chen on the corner of his mouth.

Either way.

Wu Chen smiled, then reached out and put his arm around Wu Yurong's waist, patting it lightly twice.

Okay, go back and sit down, be careful not to get seen.

How could that be? Xuanxuan went to the Restroom; it takes her a few minutes.

Wu Yurong said that he was keeping track of the time in his mind.

After saying that, she asked Wu Chen in a soft, sweet voice, "Was it Li Ruobin who stayed with you at your house last night?"

Before Wu Yurong could finish speaking, loud footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, followed by a bang!

The door was kicked open.

Senior Song Xuan burst through the door, and his voice stopped abruptly as he called out, his eyes widening in surprise.

This concludes this episode. We hope you'll continue listening!
