122: Chapter 0122: Revisiting Tian Rui
It was just a sentence spoken in the heat of the mont that led to an unexpected shift in the way a few classmates looked at Chu Ge.
Their eyes filled with shock and incredulity, and of course, even more so with jealousy!
After a long while, it was Zhang Tanqiu who first broke the silence: “You two…
are you living together now?”
Hearing Zhang Tanqiu’s words, Mu Bingtong also suddenly realized what she had said and quickly waved her hands to clarify: “No, don’t get the wrong idea.
It’s just that this guy had no place to stay when he first ca to Shanghai, and my place is pretty spacious, so I let him temporarily move in.”
“Yeah.” Chu Ge also coughed and put on a serious expression: “We’re just living together, not sleeping together.
Don’t get any weird ideas.”
The more you explain, the darker it gets!
The more you try to explain this kind of thing, the more others will suspect.
Seeing the admiring look on Zhang Tanqiu’s face, as if he was almost ready to kneel to Chu Ge, Mu Bingtong’s pretty face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Seeing Mu Bingtong’s expression, Chu Ge understood that if he kept teasing, this girl might explode with anger, so he quickly said: “Alright, why are you all so nosy?
Let’s end this topic here.
Aren’t you all classmates?
Can’t we talk about so mories instead?”
The atmosphere slowly started to recover afterward, but of course, everyone’s attitude towards Chu Ge had completely changed from before, especially the two girls who kept urging Chu Ge to drink, even though he wasn’t holding a cup, they would drink first.
…….
Mu Bingtong has always been a woman who knew her limits, even at parties.
After two or three drinks, she rarely drank any more, always making sure to stay sober.
Despite this, by the end of the gathering, her cheeks still sported two enticingly faint blushes of tipsiness.
“Do you need
to support you?” Chu Ge finished his last glass of wine in one gulp and asked with a smile, looking at Mu Bingtong’s tipsy appearance.
“I’m not that far gone.” Mu Bingtong chuckled and shook her head, her jade-green index finger pointing up: “I know my limit, so I never let myself get drunk.”
Feeling the warm breaths close to his ears, Chu Ge suddenly shook his head and sighed slightly: “What a pity.”
“What’s a pity?”
“Missed a chance to take advantage.” He didn’t conceal it, looking straight at Mu Bingtong: “I thought I could get you drunk and take the opportunity to do sothing beastly.”
“Can’t you be more serious.” A sunflower seed was thrown at him as Mu Bingtong rolled her eyes at him irritatedly and stood up with the help of the sofa: “It’s getting late.
Let’s go back.”
“Understood!”
The white Maserati traveled through the Shanghai night.
In the car, Mu Bingtong sat in the back seat, looking at Chu Ge’s figure, her eyes becoming sowhat blurred: “Chu Ge, who are you really?”
Chu Ge’s body paused slightly, then he flashed a smile in the rearview mirror: “A man who loves you.”
“There you go with your smooth talk again.” Mu Bingtong helplessly shifted her gaze towards the outside of the car, but perhaps even she herself hadn’t noticed the faint, almost imperceptible, curve at the corner of her mouth.
…….
The next morning, Chu Ge got up especially early.
His realm had now reached the peak of the Postnatal stage, and any further cultivation was futile.
This was one of his bottlenecks.
He steps over it, and henceforth has a broad and smooth path ahead; if he fails to step over, he’s dood to halt here for life.
However, to Chu Ge, this step posed no difficulty at all.
He just needed to absorb the statue acquired from the last auction, then he would imdiately step into the Innate Realm, yet Chu Ge was not satisfied with just that.
According to the records on the Jade Pendant, Innate is rely the first step of cultivation, yet it is also the most crucial one.
The foundation of Innate determines the scale of future achievents; therefore, Chu Ge decided to follow the guidance of the All Spirits Return to One Array recorded on the array, to collect various Spiritual dicines and ultimately set up a mini Ten Thousand Spirit Returning Array, forging a perfect Innate foundation for himself!
Initially, Chu Ge planned to continue working at Jinxiu Group, as he had nothing much to do and was rely waiting for news from Huo Tianqian.
However, a phone call from Zhao Wuji made him change his mind.
……
Tianrui Bank, a bank that ranks among the highest echelons in Shanghai, was bustling with noise even though it was only Wednesday.
The first ti Chu Ge stepped into this place, he was t with mockery and humiliation.
But, because of a Dragon Card, the situation had completely flipped.
This ti, as Chu Ge entered the place again, the bank’s lobby manager personally ca to greet him, followed by two rows of uniford hostesses.
“Mr.
Chu, you’re here!” As Zhao Wuji had previously ensured that they all saw Chu Ge’s photograph, the lobby manager imdiately walked up to him and bowed deeply.
“Where’s Manager Zhao?” Chu Ge sized up this lobby manager, who clearly wasn’t the one from last ti.
This person appeared tall and thin, with a pair of gold-rimd glasses.
The lobby manager straightened up and made a welcoming gesture: “Mr.
Zhao is on the seventh floor.
He specifically told us to wait here for you and to take you upstairs as soon as we saw you.”
“Hm.” Chu Ge nodded, feeling quite pleased by Zhao Wuji’s actions.
A large group of people surrounded Chu Ge as they entered the elevator.
It wasn’t until the elevator doors closed that the murmuring in the lobby started to buzz.
“Hey, did you see that?
Who was that guy just now?
To warrant such a grand reception from Tianrui Bank?” A man dressed in a suit, who seed to be an office worker, gazed in the direction Chu Ge had left, his eyes filled with envy.
Another man beside him sported a similar expression and shook his head: “Who knows?
But it’s weird, isn’t it?
Why do these big shots nowadays like dressing in cheap casual clothes, making themselves look like an average Joe?”
The elevator stopped directly on the seventh floor.
The attendants, including the lobby manager, did not continue to follow.
They politely greeted him and then took the elevator down.
The entire seventh floor was carpeted with a thick layer of red velvet, giving a comfortable feeling similar to walking on grass when stepped upon.
At the end of the corridor was a large, purple, wooden door.
Chu Ge walked up and knocked.
“Co in.” Zhao Wuji’s voice ca from inside.
Chu Ge was no longer polite and directly pushed the door open and entered.
This was evidently Zhao Wuji’s private office, a very spacious room.
There was a wooden tea table in the center, and Zhao Wuji, dressed in a suit, was carefully pouring tea from a teapot into a cup.
“Mr.
Zhao, enjoying yourself, I see.”
Hearing Chu Ge’s voice, Zhao Wuji paused in his tea-pouring, promptly put down the teapot, stood up, and smiled at Chu Ge: “I wondered who it was.
It turns out Mr.
Chu has arrived.
The tea is just right.
Please, have a taste!”
