Chapter 231: Chapter 231 Not Submitting To Any Force
I quickly got dressed neatly and rushed downstairs. There was no need to ask Guo Xiang where he was waiting. The eye-catching rcedes-Benz S600 at the gate of the community had already exposed where he was. In this low-end community, there was no such a high-end car.
Just as I walked to the car, Xingyu who was sitting inside helped open the door. Seeing that it was Guo Xiang who was driving, I couldn’t help but be dazed a little. After I reacted, I smiled, closed the car door, and turned around to the front passenger seat. “Well, the car is not bad. But it is unfitting to have the boss of a big company drive the car himself. Why don’t you hire a chauffeur?”
Xingyu, who had obviously taken ti to make herself up, was surprised. There was a trace of touch and admiration in her beautiful eyes, but she deliberately pouted her mouth and said with dissatisfaction: “Does Elder Brother Nan not like to sit with ?”
“It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s that I’m not used to it,” I joked: “You dress so beautifully, it would only make feel ashad of myself when sitting with you. Instead of being your foil to make you look even more pretty, it’s much better to sit next to Lao Guo and let him be my foil.”
She who was dressed in a bright red one-shoulder evening dress with oriental characteristics looked alluring yet pure in light makeup. The sharp contrast of the mature and the immature feeling she gave out, burst out a kind of alternative feminine charm. Coupled with precious crystal jewelry embellishnt, Liu Xingyu looked noble and beautiful today.
Every woman liked to be praised. Xingyu was no exception. Upon hearing my praise, which was not exaggerated, her face blushed, feeling both proud and shy. But she no longer complained again.
Compared with Liu Xingyu’s gorgeous appearance, Guo Xiang dressed up simply like how he usually dressed. Seeing that I deliberately wanted to sit in the front passenger seat to avoid any misunderstanding, he just smiled and said to : “You are my great benefactor. If you like this car, we can go through the transfer procedures tomorrow…”
“Forget it,” I declined: “I’m a poor man. Unlike you, I can’t afford to drive a car that is worth more than two million Chinese Yuan.”
“Then just co to my company. There happens to be a general manager’s position vacant. The annual salary is not a lot, but it is still 1.8 million. If you include the bonus, let alone driving this car, it is no problem for you to live in a better environnt.”
“Dragon has a sky it can fly, but a loach also has a puddle it can swim in. How does the dragon know that the loach is unhappy?” I laughed and said, “Lao Guo, I understand your kindness. But can you stop asking to work for you?”
“You tend to be content with the status quo too easily. Just like what the teacher said, not wanting to change is both a good thing and a bad thing. Those who are satisfied with their current situation would inevitably lose so of the fun and excitent of life. For people with abilities, this is really a waste. I should try to change you on behalf of the teacher. n should be brave and ambitious, when there is an opportunity, you should seize this opportunity and try to climb up the ladder. Anyway, for a person like you, even if you lose, you would not feel disappointed, so why do you want to avoid it?”
Guo Xiang started the car and asked with a chuckle, “Today, if I didn’t deliberately keep you in suspense, probably you wouldn’t co down and get in my car, right? Haha, I called the teacher yesterday to ask the teacher your address, but he refused to tell , so I guessed that you must have told him sothing. You didn’t want to go to the banquet with , right?”
My little trick would not be able to fool people like Guo Xiang, so I didn’t deny it. I frowned and said, “If my old man didn’t say it, where did you get my address?”
Seeing that I didn’t deny it, Guo Xiang sighed helplessly. He looked back at Xing Yun, feeling proud. And then, as if he was afraid that I would jump off the car and run away, he drove the car to the main road first, and said, “regarding this question, you need to ask Xingyu.”
Xingyu giggled, “Elder Brother Nan, you have already guessed it, right?”
“Yike?” As expected, it was really her, and I smiled bitterly: “How did you contact her? Is that girl okay?”
“She is fine. I ran into her at the university this morning,” Xingyu seed to rember sothing funny, and couldn’t help but giggle again, “Elder Brother Nan, how did you offend that little minx? When I asked her about you, she was so angry that she said so many bad things about you. She even told to stay away from you because you like to bite people…”
Bite people? The minx was still not happy that I had scolded her. However, hearing that she was saying bad things about , I was not angry, instead, I felt a little relieved. Since she was able to say those things to Xingyu, it ant that she was no longer angry with . And the reason why she was still hiding from was probably the argunt last ti was quite big, she felt embarrassed to see again.
Guo Xiang curiously asked, “Xiao Nan, how did you et Miss Xiao?”
“Miss Xiao?” I was confused at first, and then realized that he was talking about Xiao Yike. In my impression, the word “Milady” was nowhere near the little minx. “I t her when she was helping an old lady on the street. What is even more coincident is that she and Yuan Yuan are internet friends. She often ca to my flat to play a while ago.”
“Really?…”
Guo Xiang glanced at Xingyu from the rearview mirror. He seed to want to say sothing, but he was hesitant. I caught his anomaly and asked, “Are you familiar with her?”
“Not familiar,” Guo Xiang said, “She is very familiar with Xingyu.”
Xingyu smiled and said: “We are childhood playmates who grew up together.”
Speaking of which, although Xingyu was only one year older than the minx, she was much more mature than her. I could not tell whether it was because of the appearance or the character. Then a thought suddenly appeared in my mind. Since Xiao Yike and Liu Xingyu have known each other since childhood, it ant that she knew Liu Xiaosheng as well?
Originally, I wanted to ask Xingyu, what exactly did the minx’s father do, but Guo Xiang deliberately diverted the subject, “You are really popular amongst girls. Ms. Mo, Miss Xiao, and that confidante, Cheng Liusu; all of them are beautiful girls. If your ability to attract pretty won can be controlled freely, can you help to get closer to a very important person at the banquet tonight?”
How did Guo Xiang know that Liusu was my confidante? I was slightly surprised. “Don’t you think such a flattery to a bachelor is actually a great irony?” I chuckled and said.
“Your bachelor status is just temporary. If I were you and faced with so many choices, I might be a bachelor for a lifeti because I would struggle to make up my mind.” Before I knew it, Guo Xiang had already stopped joking and said with a serious expression, “To be honest with you, Xiao Nan, I’m not good at dealing with won, so the reason why I want to bring you with is for a selfish reason.”
“A selfish reason?”
Seeing my confused face, Liu Xingyu couldn’t help lowering her head in sha. Then I heard Guo Xiang smile and say, “Actually, I only got the news this morning. At Long Xiaotian’s birthday party tonight, a very mysterious important person will appear. I hope that with your help, I will be able to et this person…”
“Huh?” I was completely dumbfounded. After thinking about it, the most important people that I knew, who might appear at the Long Xiaotian’s birthday banquet were the people from the Mo family. Then the beautiful face of Mo Fei suddenly flashed across my mind, causing my heart to skip a beat. I hurriedly shook my head to get rid of the reverie. If it were them, Guo Xiang didn’t need my help at all. It was not like he didn’t know Mo Fei.
“Do I know this person?”
“No,” Guo Xiang said with a faint smile: “But tonight, you are the person who is the most likely to et her.”
Xingyu agreed and begged : “Yes, Elder Brother Nan. You probably don’t know. In fact, there are many people who attend the birthday banquet just because of wanting to use this opportunity to approach her…”
“Hold on a second!” The more I heard, the more I felt sothing was wrong, “It is a woman? Do you two really think I am so kind of pickup artist?!” This was definitely the biggest joke of the century. I was such a pure and shy young man who was ignorant about love matters. I couldn’t even handle my own relationship well, but they thought that I was so kind of pickup artist? Were they crazy?!
“If you really knew how to pick up girls, then I wouldn’t say that,” Guo Xiang said and then suddenly changed the topic, and asked with a smile: “I just said that I wanted to ask you sothing, do you still rember?”
I was dazed, rembering that Guo Xiang had indeed said such a sentence over the phone. So I couldn’t help but be puzzled: “What is it?”
“Last week, in front of the Fengchang Headquarters, was Zhang Mingjie, the son of the vice-chairman of Fengchang been splashed with feces?”
“How did you know?” This happened only a few days ago. It shouldn’t be spread so quickly. Besides, the Zhang family would definitely want to cover up this shaful thing. So how did they know about it?
“Not only do I know that he was splashed with feces, but I also know why he was splashed with feces,” The admired gazes of Guo Xiang and Xingyu made feel speechless. Then I heard Guo Xiang said with a smile of admiration: ” Zhang Mingjie wanted to pull the trick of saving a damsel in distress and take your confidante Cheng Liusu away from you, but you saw it through very quickly. Not only did you defeat a dozen delinquents hired by Zhang Mingjie, but what was even more clever was that you also used the sa trick of saving a damsel in distress as well. You pretended to save Cheng Liusu and ‘accidentally’ caused Zhang Mingjie to be splashed with feces. Haha, you probably don’t know, there’s a lot of buzz about this now. Your na is very famous in Bei Tian City now. For the beautiful confidante, an ordinary clerk, who was not willing to submit to any force, played an arrogant young master like a toy in his hand, and the young master was not able to do anything with him. Hahahaha, such an interesting thing, you actually kept it from . If I didn’t know it from other people, I would not even know that this interesting thing had happened, Xiao Nan, you are really bad enough. But I like it.”
No! What he said was not correct! It was true that Zhang Mingjie, Li Qi, and Hong Tao hired so young delinquents to cause trouble for . But it was not a dozen. Moreover, I didn’t pull the sa trick on him.
It was Xiao Yike who hired soone to throw feces. But the target was not Zhang Mingjie. The target was Mo Fei, and it was just that Zhang Mingjie’s trick and Xiao Yike’s revenge happened to accidentally collide together. What did he an that I planned it?!
From the way Guo Xiang said, it didn’t sound like he was joking. This made even more confused. Then I turned around and looked at Liu Xingyu. She looked at with admiration and said, “elder brother Nan, the injury of your head must be caused by the fight that day, right? I didn’t notice it when I had tea with you last ti…”
Nonsense! I only had this wound yesterday. It would only be strange if you notice at that ti!
Not submitting to any force? Playing an arrogant young master like a toy in my hand? What the hell were they talking about? Where did Guo Xiang and Xingyu hear this nonsense?!
