Lv Nan Nan stared at the na on her phone for a while, forgetting to pick up.
How could it be? How could that person be calling her?
She felt like she was dreaming.
It wasn’t until a passing colleague bumped her shoulder that she was snapped back to reality.
Hurriedly, she answered the call.
There was silence on the other end, just for a couple of seconds.
But those two seconds made Lv Nan Nan’s heart sink.
Maybe, maybe it was a call made by mistake, he couldn’t possibly be calling her, no way.
She lowered her gaze, the light in her eyes dimd, but just then, a calm, magnetic male voice ca through the line.
He said, "Is this classmate Lv Nan Nan? This is Lin Junyi!"
Lv Nan Nan’s breath stopped, the tip of her nose suddenly felt a bit sore.
And Lin Junyi, hearing no response, asked, "Classmate Lv Nan Nan, are you there?"
Lv Nan Nan then took a deep breath and replied, "Yes... I’m here!"
Lin Junyi humd and said, "It’s like this, classmate Lv Nan Nan, I need a little help from you, today after work, I’ll drive over to pick you up, and treat you to dinner... Do you have ti?"
Lv Nan Nan hurriedly answered, "Yes, I certainly have ti... I always have ti for you!"
Lin Junyi paused for a mont and then said, "Well then, see you in the evening!"
Lv Nan Nan quickly agreed, saying, "Okay, we’ll... see in the evening!"
Lin Junyi promptly hung up, and Lv Nan Nan held up her phone, unable to react for a while.
Even now, she still couldn’t believe that Lin Junyi would call her, would ask her to dinner.
No, not ask her out, but seek her help, well, it was almost the sa, weren’t they going to eat together?
That’s nice, really nice!
Lv Nan Nan had been suppressing her irritation most of the day, but now, because of Lin Junyi’s call, she instantly relaxed.
...
In the afternoon, the Shi Family’s press conference, Shi Nuan didn’t need to attend, but Shi Yuanbo didn’t let her leave.
Instead, he had her watch the live broadcast of the press conference on the big screen in the lounge.
Shi Nuan naturally agreed, at the press conference, although so journalists would gossip or dig for scandal,
Occasionally, there were quite a few who could ask constructive questions, so even challenging and tricky.
And how to respond, this tested the spokesperson’s ability at the press conference.
In these matters, Shi Nuan was relatively weak; she needed to learn and improve.
Shi Yuanbo was considerate, and the lounge where Shi Nuan stayed was small, yet she was the only one there, making her feel at ease.
Actually, she was always soone who preferred quiet over noise, just like her mother, but her circumstances destined her never to live in peace.
Soone wanted to fight her and take away what was originally hers, she couldn’t just be weak and hand it over.
But after watching the entire press conference, Shi Nuan felt a bit embarrassed, although the main spokesperson was soone else.
The reporters seed particularly interested in Yu Dou, eight out of ten questions were directed at Yu Dou.
Originally, the spokesperson could have declined on behalf of Yu Dou, but Yu Dou waved it off and said it wasn’t necessary.
No matter how tricky or demanding the reporters’ questions were, even when the press conference was about to turn awkward,
Yu Dou could adjust the atmosphere with just a few words, demonstrating high emotional intelligence.
After a few questions, Shi Nuan couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration for Yu Dou.
However, just as the press conference was about to end, a question from a reporter claiming to be from an economic weekly in S City made Yu Dou’s expression change unfavorably.
The reporter was a woman of about thirty, wearing black-frad glasses, not particularly pretty, but exuding an intense aura.
She asked Yu Dou a first question: "Mr. Yu, I have information showing that you once visited S City ten years ago and stayed for a while, is that correct?"
Yu Dou narrowed his eyes without answering, but the reporter persisted: "Ten years ago, Mr. Yu was twenty-two, not long after graduating from college, when you should have been developing your career and striving in life, yet Mr. Yu chose to go to S City during this period, and the purpose was not for work. It is said that you spent a period of lancholy days there, how did that happen?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the reporters present began to buzz with excitent, unaware of this part of Yu Dou’s past.
