During the meal, the men tacitly stopped mentioning Chi Jiao’s relationship problems.
They knew Chi Jiao very well and knew that her temper was definitely not as good as it seemed. If they really angered her, it would be difficult for everyone present to clean up the mess.
“Jiaojiao, I’m preparing to transfer to White City to work.” Gong Lu picked up a tissue and elegantly wiped his lips as he smiled at her.
Chi Jiao looked up at him in surprise.
Gong Lu was a mixed-blood. His father was originally a noble duke in Country Y, but he willingly gave up everything for his mother. Coming to China was equivalent to him marrying into the Gong family to live with his wife.
Gong Lu was the only successor of the Gong family, and the Gong family’s headquarters was in Shang Jing. Therefore, coming to White City was indeed quite bewildering.
“Coincidentally, I took on a new drama. The filming location is that new film studio in White City,” Chi Yexi glanced at Gong Lu and said to Chi Jiao with a smile.
Gu Xia said, “I heard that Xing Teng Academy is recruiting professors, so I’m preparing to give it a try.”
Yan Zhengchen: “You’re all welcome to visit my new house in White City anytime.”
Chi Jiao was silent.
She originally thought that she could escape from these men by not going to Shang Jing. It seemed like she was still too young.
“Brother, you bought a house here?” Yan Qingqing widened her eyes in astonishment. Her brother was way too fast.
“Jiaojiao, you can stay with me if you’re unhappy,” Yan Zhengchen said.
“That’s good. We can all stay at your place, then.” Gu Xia smiled and winked at Yan Zhengchen. “We’re all from the same sect. Senior Yan won’t be so petty.”
Chi Yexi rubbed the small red mole on his chin. “Gu Xia is right.”
Gong Lu nodded in agreement.
“Please have some sense of shame,” Yan Zhengchen said expressionlessly.
In the end, Gu Xia and the rest completely ignored Yan Zhengchen’s words and continued to chat with Chi Jiao about other things.
…
In the room next door, Room 009.
“Senior Qin, I’ll have to trouble you to teach Yanyan in the future. Yanyan is still young and lacking in experience. She’ll be needing your guidance,” Lan Yunhan said with a smile as he raised his wine glass to Qin Yun, who was sitting beside him.
“Chi Yan has a lot of room for development. Our laboratory has always valued nurturing talents. You don’t have to worry about that,” Qin Yun said softly as he raised his glass and clinked it with Lan Yunhan’s.
Vrrr! Vrrr! Vrrr!
The phone in front of Qin Yun suddenly vibrated. He placed his wine glass down and picked up the call.
“Gong Lu is meeting Miss Chi Jiao at Xian Anju today. She’s in room 008.” An excited female voice came through the phone. “Qin Yun, you must see Miss Chi Jiao today no matter what. I spent a lot of money to get this information.”
Qin Yun, who initially had an indifferent expression, immediately became excited. After hanging up, he said to Lan Yunhan and Chi Yan, “Junior Lan, Chi Yan, I’m sorry, but that’s all for today.”
With that, he stood up and strode out of the room, ignoring Lan Yunhan’s and Chi Yan’s expressions.
“Senior Qin!” Lan Yunhan stood up and shouted.
However, Qin Yun ignored him and walked out of the room.
“What’s going on?” Chi Yan frowned and looked at Lan Yunhan unhappily.
Lan Yunhan was also confused. “I don’t know, either.”
He and Qin Yun graduated from the same school. Although they weren’t in the same profession, Qin Yun was still his senior. In order to pave the way for Chi Yan, he had spent a lot of effort to invite Qin Yun out for a meal today.
