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, Nanxiâs phone rang.
The incoming call displayed: 136â¦
it was from Lu Yinchu.
Nanxi pressed the answer button.
âAround five in the evening, I will send Mo Yan to pick you up from your school!â On the other end of the phone, Lu Yinchuâs magnetic, pleasant voice echoed in her ear.
âOh, I got it!â After a pause, she said, âThank you, Mr.
Lu!â
âYouâre welcome!
Besides, itâs you helping me, I should be the one saying thank you!â Lu Yinchuâs 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, âDonât worry, I wonât sell you off!â
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, âAre you feeling better now?â
Nanxi was taken aback, quickly replying, âMuch better, thank you for asking!â
âThatâs good,â the man said.
âWell, Mr.
Lu, I have something else to do, I have to hang up now!â
Nanxi felt there wasnât 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 didnât 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 wasnât 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 invitationsâ¦
But Nanxi didnât receive any!
For this reason, Yang Su was also feeling somewhat discontented.
Nanxiâs academic performance was far better than hers and Lan Qiqiâs.
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 mindsâ¦
Nanxi felt unlucky, as if she was undergoing the darkest period of her life: Why wouldnât a single company want her?
After some pondering, Yang Su suddenly exclaimed, grabbing Nanxiâs hand.
âNanxi, do you think those two monstrous sisters of Li Weihuan or his mother are deliberately causing trouble for you?â
Nanxi was taken aback, somewhat in disbelief.
âThatâs not possible, how could they?â
Yang Su was upset.
âWhy not!
Nanxi, youâre just too good-natured.
You donât 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, itâs impossible that no company would recruit you after you applied onlineâ¦
Someone must have interfered!â
Nanxi narrowed her eyes, harboring a hint of doubt in her heart, but she couldnât be sure.
After all, if women like Li Mufang and Li Muyun really wanted to trouble her, they certainly wouldnât keep it from her!
Otherwise, how could they achieve the effect of intimidation?
Nanxi shook her head.
âI still donât think so.
Itâs probably just bad luck on my part!
Donât think too much about it.
We havenât graduated yet, and I can still sustain myself with writing web novels.
Thereâs no rush!â
Hearing Nanxiâs words, the other two couldnât 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 Yanâs 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, âMr.
Mo, where are we going?â
Mo Yan glanced at the woman in the rearview mirror before answering, âAbout your uncleâs 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.â
Nanxi was stunned.
âSo, is my uncle also there?â
Mo Yan shook his head.
âMr.
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 contractâs responsible parties to meet them first.
Mr.
Liang can meet them later, and you, Miss Gu, can introduce himâ¦â
ââ¦â
Listening to this, Nanxi got the impression that was the case, but she still felt that something was odd.
She asked Mo Yan, âSo today, is Mr.
Lu taking me to the reception?â
Mo Yan nodded.
âSomething like that.â
Nanxi frowned immediately: Wasnât it said that she was supposed to help him?
How come it turned into him helping her!
Whatâs 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 and laughing with several men that appeared to be at least over forty.
Seeing Mo Yan enter, they all quietened down.
Lu Yinchu didnât 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, âGentlemen, this is Miss Gu, Mr.
Liangâs niece.
Sheâs here to meet you all on behalf of Mr.
Liang.â
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 intimidatingâ¦
Nanxi nervously greeted each one of them, even giving a small bowâ¦
Everyone was very polite to her, and she knew inwardly that they were giving face to Lu Yinchuâ¦
That said, Lu Yinchu had quite the reputation.
It was impressiveâ¦
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 sitâ¦
on the side with those menâ¦
Butâ¦
Just as Nanxi was about to move, someone beat her to it.
Mo Yan took the seat before she could.
Nanxi felt awkward and couldnât 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 Yinchuâsâ¦
oh, no, they were Nanxiâs favorites!
It was apparent that todayâs protagonist was Lu Yinchu!
The Head of the Culture Bureau, his face red after just a couple of drinks, said, âIâve seen Mr.
Liangâs 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.
Liangâs artistic accomplishments are quite deep, itâs truly admirableâ¦â
Nanxi managed to forced a smile and said, âThank you!â
An unidentified official or minister followed suit, âYes, 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 the late Mr.
Liang Bonianâ¦â
Nanxiâs 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 flattering Lu Yinchu.
However, Lu Yinchu didnât seem too enthusiastic in his responseâ¦
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, âNanxiâ¦â
