?106: Chapter 103 Help, this man is very arrogant_1 106: Chapter 103 Help, this man is very arrogant_1 Around eight in the morning the next day, Nanxi’s phone rang.
The iing call disyed: 136…
it was from Lu Yinchu.
Nanxi pressed the answer button.
“Around five in the evening, I will send Mo Yan to pick you up from your school!” On the other end of the phone, Lu Yinchu’s maic, pleasant voice echoed in her ear.
“Oh, I got it!” After a pause, she said, “Thank you, Mr.
Lu!”
“You’re wee!
Besides, it’s you helping me, I should be the one saying thank you!” Lu Yinchu’s voice was gentle.
Nanxi pursed her lips, not saying a word.
That day at the hospital, Lu Yinchu mentioned that he needed her help before he could go see his father, but Nanxi was still not clear about what kind of help he needed.
He just said, “Don’t worry, I won’t sell you off!”
The other end of the phone fell silent.
Nanxi felt a little awkward, intending to hang up the call.
Yet before she could say anything, she heard Lu Yinchu ask, “Are you feeling better now?”
Nanxi was taken aback, quickly replying, “Much better, thank you for asking!”
“That’s good,” the man said.
“Well, Mr.
Lu, I have something else to do, I have to hang up now!”
Nanxi felt there wasn’t much to talk about between the two of them.
Lu Yinchu responded from the other end, and then Nanxi hung up the phone.
She drew a deep breath.
She didn’t understand why every conversation with Lu Yinchu made her feel so nervous.
In the morning, Nanxi browsed through some job postings online, intending to continue her job search.
She sent a few resumes as well, but without harboring any expectations.
She wasn’t the only one sending out resumes during this period.
Yang Su and Lan Qiqi were too.
Even though both of them might not stay in H City, there was no harm in trying.
The future was unpredictable, and they also received a few interview invitations…
But Nanxi didn’t receive any!
For this reason, Yang Su was also feeling somewhat discontented.
Nanxi’s academic performance was far better than hers and Lan Qiqi’s.
Plus, her resume received more views than theirs.
There were even people who had called to arrange an interview, but either Nanxi was held up, or the other party changed their minds…
Nanxi felt unlucky, as if she was undergoing the darkest period of her life: Why wouldn’t a singlepany want her?
After some pondering, Yang Su suddenly eximed, grabbing Nanxi’s hand.
“Nanxi, do you think those two monstrous sisters of Li Weihuan or his mother are deliberately causing trouble for you?”
Nanxi was taken aback, somewhat in disbelief.
“That’s not possible, how could they?”
Yang Su was upset.
“Why not!
Nanxi, you’re just too good-natured.
You don’t understand how malicious people can be.
Listen to me, without even considering your outstanding academic achievements, even if you were just an ordinary student from H University, it’s impossible that nopany would recruit you after you applied online…
Someone must have interfered!”
Nanxi narrowed her eyes, harboring a hint of doubt in her heart, but she couldn’t be sure.
After all, if women like Li Mufang and Li Muyun really wanted to trouble her, they certainly wouldn’t keep it from her!
Otherwise, how could they achieve the effect of intimidation?
Nanxi shook her head.
“I still don’t think so.
It’s probably just bad luck on my part!
Don’t think too much about it.
We haven’t graduated yet, and I can still sustain myself with writing web novels.
There’s no rush!”
Hearing Nanxi’s words, the other two couldn’t say anything and chose to keep quiet for the time being.
Around 4:50 in the afternoon, Nanxi, all set and ready, was waiting at the school gate.
Mo Yan’s car arrived on time.
Nanxi got in, and Mo Yan silently drove the car.
Nanxi pursed her lips, unable to resist her curiosity, and asked, “Mr.
Mo, where are we going?”
Mo Yan nced at the woman in the rearview mirror before answering, “About your uncle’s art storefront expansion issue, Mr.
Lu has invited a few key people for you to meet.
Many matters in the future will require interactions with them.”
Nanxi was stunned.
“So, is my uncle also there?”
Mo Yan shook his head.
“Mr.
Lu said that Mr.
Liang is an artist, and the environment of a banquet might not be suitable for him.
Besides, Mr.
Lu only wants you, Miss Gu, as one of the contract’s responsible parties to meet them first.
Mr.
Liang can meet themter, and you, Miss Gu, can introduce him…”
“…”
Listening to this, Nanxi got the impression that was the case, but she still felt that something was odd.
She asked Mo Yan, “So today, is Mr.
Lu taking me to the reception?”
Mo Yan nodded.
“Something like that.”
Nanxi frowned immediately: Wasn’t it said that she was supposed to help him?
Howe it turned into him helping her!
What’s more, her intolerance for alcohol would certainly be a problem!
At 5:30 pm, Nanxi was taken to one of the top-level private rooms in a quite renowned hotel in H City.
Mo Yan, having helped her open the door, led her inside.
Lu Yinchu was already there, chatting andughing with several men that appeared to be at least over forty.
Seeing Mo Yan enter, they all quietened down.
Lu Yinchu didn’t say anything, he was casually leaning back with a cigarette between his fingers.
Seeing Nanxi, a smile formed at the corner of his mouth, the depths of his ink-like eyes giving off an alluring vibe.
Nanxi furrowed her brows, pretending to not see it.
Mo Yan introduced her, “Gentlemen, this is Miss Gu, Mr.
Liang’s niece.
She’s here to meet you all on behalf of Mr.
Liang.”
Then, Mo Yan began introducing those men one by one.
They were all highly ranked officials like the Head of the Culture Bureau, Director of the Museum, Director of some Cultural Group.
The mere mention of their titles was quite intimidating…
Nanxi nervously greeted each one of them, even giving a small bow…
Everyone was very polite to her, and she knew inwardly that they were giving face to Lu Yinchu…
That said, Lu Yinchu had quite the reputation.
It was impressive…
When everyone took their seats, Mo Yan noticed two empty seats at the table: one in the middle of those men, and one next to Lu Yinchu.
Nanxi decided to sit…
on the side with those men…
But…
Just as Nanxi was about to move, someone beat her to it.
Mo Yan took the seat before she could.
Nanxi felt awkward and couldn’t ask Mo Yan to move, so she reluctantly shuffled over to sit next to Lu Yinchu.
The hotel server quickly began serving food.
The dishes were beautifully presented, many of which were Lu Yinchu’s…
oh, no, they were Nanxi’s favorites!
It was apparent that today’s protagonist was Lu Yinchu!
The Head of the Culture Bureau, his face red after just a couple of drinks, said, “I’ve seen Mr.
Liang’s paintings, and to be honest, I also met him at a local culture exposition in the neighboring city a while ago.
I must say, Mr.
Liang’s artistic aplishments are quite deep, it’s truly admirable…”
Nanxi managed to forced a smile and said, “Thank you!”
An unidentified official or minister followed suit, “Yes, indeed.
Mr.
Liang is an artist, and not only that, from what I understand, every generation from the Liang family has been deeply enveloped in art, especially thete Mr.
Liang Bonian…”
Nanxi’s expression darkened slightly.
This topic was quickly diverted by Mo Yan, who prompted a toast.
The atmosphere at the table remained harmonious, with everyone conversing and ttering Lu Yinchu.
However, Lu Yinchu didn’t seem too enthusiastic in his response…
At this moment, someone was proposing another toast to Lu Yinchu.
Lu Yinchu pursed his lips and turned to look at the reddish-faced young woman beside him.
With a smile, he called out, “Nanxi…”
