Jiang Junlin smiled and said, “I have a nutritionist.”
“Sorry to disturb you.” Gu Ci secretly thought ordinary people like us wouldn’t have a dedicated nutritionist.
“Are you here to talk about the shareholders’ eting of the Lu Corporation on Monday?”
Gu Ci nodded, “Does Hualan also have shares?”
“Three percent of the shares,” Jiang Junlin said, “This small amount of stocks is not worth ntioning. The issue of the will is unclear, so Lu Ze’s stock rights are invalidated. The remaining 57% of the shares will depend on the choice of the shareholders. As far as I know, Lu Zhiyuan has offended all the major shareholders, and no one supports him.”
Gu Ci smiled lightly, “Yes.”
“Great!” Jiang Junlin smiled, “Let’s just give up the power.”
Gu Ci defended Lu Zhiyuan, “Brother, Lu Zhiyuan has always had an easy life since he was young. He doesn’t care about people’s opinions, let alone seek help. He likes to do things according to his own will.”
In the previous life, the prideful Lu Zhiyuan had learned to seek help and to step back, all for her. He only wanted to live peacefully with her in their own little world.
He was no longer independent and willful. He had a vulnerable side and felt coerced. There was no longer any light in his eyes.
She had never seen the confident and radiant Lu Zhiyuan on the racetrack. That’s why Gu Ci cherished the youthful spirit of Lu Zhiyuan. She only wished for him to have a lifeti of glory, always at the peak.
Jiang Junlin thought to himself, “My sister is really love-struck.”
There’s no hope!
“Why are all the won in our family so infatuated?”
Gu Ci chuckled and said, “Because the won in our family have a good older brother.”
Jiang Junlin felt comfortable hearing that. Who wouldn’t want to be praised by their obedient little sister?
“Let’s play it by ear on Monday,” Jiang Junlin said calmly, “I don’t like him, but I’m still a good older brother.”
The waiter brought the food, and Gu Ci ordered dishes that Jiang Junlin could eat. Seeing his tired appearance, she added two more dishes. Jiang Junlin enjoyed the delicious stewed beef brisket with autumn bamboo shoots and the soup in the pot.
Gu Ci said, “Brother, eat more. If Uncle and Aunt see you like this, they will think you’ve had a breakup.”
Jiang Junlin remained silent.
While they were dining, they suddenly saw Ji Chi leading a group of people out of the private room. They were all executives of the Black Hawk Group, financial elites dressed in suits, with upright postures and an average height of over 180 cm, resembling a male model team.
Ji Chi walked in the center, wearing a black suit with a slender waist and long legs. He was whispering sothing to his assistant, appearing calm and composed among the group of financial elites.
Gu Ci asked Jiang Junlin, “Brother, does the Black Hawk Group choose employees based on looks?”
Jiang Junlin glanced at them and lowered his head to eat, “I’ve heard so rumors.”
“Excellent!” Gu Ci couldn’t help but laugh. It started as a sarcastic comnt, but it turned out to be true.
When Ji Chi saw Jiang Junlin sitting near the window, he raised an eyebrow and walked over to them with confident steps.
“Mr. Jiang, what a coincidence!” Ji Chi smiled like a social butterfly. “Can 1 join you?”
Ji Chi unbuttoned his suit jacket, sat down gracefully, and Gu Ci secretly wondered if he really needed to ask.
Jiang Junlin lifted his head, took a napkin, wiped the corner of his mouth, and looked at him indifferently. “It’s not convenient, Mr. Ji.”
Ji Chi snapped his fingers, ignoring Jiang Junlin’s refusal, and called the waiter, “Bring another set of utensils.”
“Okay, please wait.”
“It’s been a week, Mr. Jiang, and you seem lovesick,” Ji Chi leaned on his chin, smiling charmingly. The small dimple on his cheek added charm to his already handso face. “Who is the unlucky girl from which family?”
“You’ve seen her!” Jiang Junlin’s voice was indifferent. “And you even ruined my blind date. Thanks to you, I t Miss Xu late.”
Gu Ci choked.
She had a mouthful of lon, and her ears perked up. Her brother’s gossip was truly sothing rare and valuable. After all, it was so hard to co by.
“A pianist, huh…” Ji Chi casually crossed his legs and elongated his tone, his smile containing a touch of mischief. “Mr. Jiang, are you serious?”
Jiang Junlin smiled, “Why don’t you make a guess?”
“I can’t guess Mr. Jiang’s thoughts,” Ji Chi played with his cup, suddenly leaned forward, and his smile carried a hint of coercion. “Why don’t you just tell , Mr. Jiang?”
Jiang Junlin said indifferently, “Superficial conversations are not appropriate.”
“I understand superficial conversations,” Ji Chi blinked, his charming smile revealing a hint of playfulness. “It ans that Mr. Jiang and I haven’t had deep enough communication. That’s my fault.”
Gu Ci finally understood the saying that everyone often said, “n who are not bad are not loved by won.”
She saw a young man in Ji Chi, soone in his early twenties. He had that carefree and playful deanor, naturally possessing a face that could captivate hearts, truly overflowing with charm.
The waiter brought the utensils and quickly left.
Jiang Junlin gave the order to ask Ji Chi to leave. “Mr. Ji, this is a private gathering with my sister.”
“I’ve had a few encounters with Miss Gu Ci, and I’m quite familiar with Young Master Lu as well,” Ji Chi smiled and asked Gu Ci, “Miss Gu Ci, do you not welco ?”
Gu Ci was montarily hesitant. She hadn’t answered yet when Jiang Junlin’s expression changed. “How do you know my sister?”
Ji Chi casually served himself soup, then pickily separated the beef brisket and put it on a plate. “Miss Gu Ci went to watch Lu Zhiyuan’s race at Lavis. 1 was there, and Chen Rush! kidnapped her. Or you could say I tipped her off. Oh, if we count it that way, Mr. Jiang owes another favor.”
Jiang Junlin looked at Gu Ci. “You were kidnapped by Chen Rushi?”
Gu Ci put down her soup spoon and calmly explained, “Brother, it wasn’t really a kidnapping. It was a misunderstanding, and I wasn’t hurt. It wasn’t a big deal, so I never brought it up. I’ve t Ji Chi a few tis at Lavis.”
Ji Chi drank two mouthfuls of soup, elegantly wiped the corner of his lips, and looked at Jiang Junlin with a smug expression. “Mr. Jiang, you still owe a favor that hasn’t been repaid. Now there’s an additional one.”
Jiang Junlin fell silent.
Ji Chi drawled, “Indeed, I’m the debt owner. You won’t even treat to a al.”
Gu Ci was speechless.
Jiang Junlin snapped his fingers and called the waiter, ordering several dishes. “Mr. Ji, feel free to eat. I’ll cover the expenses for you while you’re here.”
Ji Chi blinked with a seemingly smiling expression. “For a lifeti?”
“Up to you!”
“Then I’m taking a big advantage!” Ji Chi elegantly picked up a piece of beef. “Finding such a long-term al ticket in Mr. Jiang.”
Jiang Junlin calmly said, “It’s only fair.”
Gu Ci quietly ate her al, becoming an invisible person. She shouldn’t have appeared at the table.
Ji Chi, being familiar and self-assured, took charge as the host and enjoyed his al. Jiang Junlin lost his appetite and even felt a slight stomachache. Ji Chi picked and ate the beef cubes that Jiang Junlin loved so much, finishing them off.
Jiang Junlin asked, “You didn’t eat enough when you ca out of the private room?”
“I’m young, so I have a big appetite,” Ji Chi joked. “It’s the age of being as fierce as a wolf and a tiger.”
Jiang Junlin couldn’t help but laugh, “I’m getting old, so 1 can’t relate.”
Gu Ci remained silent..
