"A bit of a rascal." Lu Xingzhi threw down this comment and went upstairs.
Huo Jincheng raised his eyebrows and asked Chen Wenzhe, who had just heard them talking, "Do I look like a rascal?"
Chen Wenzhe pondered for a bit before saying, "Sir is suave and graceful, like a noble orchid or jade tree."
That comment was as good as saying nothing.
But, it didn’t offend either party.
Chen Wenzhe is the new butler appointed after Zhuo Yixiang was dismissed. He is both capable and adept at social maneuvering, knowing how to adapt.
More importantly, he’s loyal and doesn’t carry personal emotions unlike Zhuo Yixiang.
"Alright, you get busy now!" Huo Jincheng alluringly lifted his eyes. The little darling should take a nap.
In just a day, Lu Xingzhi’s name became known to many netizens; even before when she accepted interviews, some netizens were already her fans.
After all, many netizens are truly drawn to beauty.
Coupled with the title of top scorer in the college entrance exam, it was easy to feel goodwill towards her.
Unfortunately, she didn’t appear in the public eye again.
Now, she unexpectedly appeared with Helian Yi, and with such an impressive image, playing the piano beautifully.
Some netizens even posted saying: Want to become the piano under her delicate jade hands.
The media already sensed the news value and dug deeper, attempting to uncover Lu Xingzhi’s dark spots.
Only to find, she’s simply a student of excellence in character and academics who never caused trouble at school, at most being a loner without particularly close friends.
Then, there’s the early passing of her family, and living alone for three years.
Now she goes to university.
How could they vilify such an inspiring girl?
Moreover, her father died saving someone.
But, the media excels at fabricating stories; sometimes, they don’t care if you’re innocent, they just want attention, they want news.
Thus, some unscrupulous media can piece together a story from a few pictures.
These haven’t caused much of a stir for now.
Lu Xingzhi herself hasn’t registered a Weibo account, so netizens looking to follow her can’t.
Over several days, her popularity hasn’t waned; instead, it’s escalating continuously, and her relationship with Helian Yi remains puzzlingly mysterious.
Quickly rose to fame, even Shen Xinzhu far abroad has already heard of it.
She left Helian Yi’s concert to specially fly to France, all for Bertrand, but in the end, she didn’t even meet him.
Just as she was about to return home, she learned about these from her assistant.
That feeling of being thwarted by one’s own plans, she would never admit to.
She only blamed others for it, including Helian Yi.
She didn’t want Lu Xingzhi to continue being so smug, otherwise, she’d soon surpass her.
Shen Xinzhu hurriedly booked a ticket back home.
Upon returning to the country, she didn’t even rest but immediately sought out Helian Yi.
"Sister Xinzhi, when did you return? Was everything alright with your plans? Did you meet Bertrand?" Helian Yi was a bit surprised to see Shen Xinzhu at the company; as her departure was abrupt, so was her return.
"Let’s not talk about that." Shen Xinzhu was holding back her anger, unable to force a smile.
Throughout her journey returning home, she couldn’t sleep a wink.
"Little Yi, I saw the news online. Why didn’t you approach the two pianists I introduced? Lu Xingzhi just learned piano for a few days, how could she compare to them?"
