As he asked Wang Yanran this, Luofeng proactively released Bai Ningbing's hand. He picked up his phone and opened the Starbucks delivery appliance. He didn't need to look at the nu in the store; he just viewed it on his phone and then told the staff the nas of the items.
Wang Yanran declined, saying, "I won't have anything, thank you. I just ca over to tell Ningbing sothing important."
"Oh? Sothing important?" Luofeng was curious, but he ordered a juice for Wang Yanran anyway.
Wang Yanran lowered her voice mysteriously. "Sothing huge just happened at our university."
"Can't wait for the gossip. I love hearing gossip," Luofeng said casually.
"I love gossip too," Bai Ningbing chid in.
Human nature? Luofeng mused. Seems like everyone loves gossip, regardless of gender.
Wang Yanran glanced around cautiously. Seeing no one nearby, she lowered her voice again. "I just heard a rumor at school that so VIP is coming to visit."
A VIP? Luofeng thought. Seriously? No way.
"The counselor was just picking students to be part of the audience in the interview hall, and I was lucky enough to get chosen. Then, I asked around and heard that Xu Jun from Hua Wei is coming," Wang Yanran continued. "Ningbing, did you get an invitation from the counselor? With your looks, the counselor definitely should have chosen you for the audience too. You're really photogenic."
Indeed. Both Wang Yanran and Bai Ningbing were very cara-friendly and would make great audience mbers. After all, who doesn't appreciate seeing a beauty in the audience when watching a show? Why do those variety shows always have a front row full of beauties? Do you think it's a coincidence? Actually, it's all carefully arranged.
However, after Wang Yanran finished speaking, she noticed Bai Ningbing had a strange expression, as if she were suppressing a smile. Luofeng looked the sa.
"What are you two smiling about?" Wang Yanran was very puzzled. She even pulled out her phone, using its screen to check her reflection, making sure there wasn't anything wrong with her makeup. It's not my makeup, so what's wrong with them? Why that expression?
Bai Ningbing finally said, "Yan Ran, we actually already knew about the 'big news' you just ntioned."
"Oh?" Wang Yanran had a mont of realization. "So the counselor did invite you! I knew it. With your looks, it would be a sha if you weren't on cara."
"HAHAHA!" Bai Ningbing finally burst out laughing.
This silly girl, Luofeng thought, sotis she's so endearingly clueless.
"That's not it," Bai Ningbing said. "My previous interviewee, the one who was delayed because of a car accident? Oh, wait, that's not quite right..." She realized her wording was a bit off. "He was in a car accident, so he probably can't do the interview now. Therefore, I found a new interviewee."
"Baby, you can be more confident about it. It's not that he 'probably' can't do the interview; it is affirmative he cannot accept the interview, unless so supernatural phenonon occurs."
"Oh!" Bai Ningbing pouted with a coquettish huff.
Wang Yanran ignored their affectionate banter and focused on the key point. "Wait, Ningbing, you said you switched interviewees? Don't tell ... Xu Jun is the one you invited, isn't he?" Wang Yanran suddenly felt her mind reel. So my roommate... is a super big shot?
Although Wang Yanran usually saw Bai Ningbing wearing luxury brands, Bai Ningbing's personal habits were quite modest; she wasn't extravagant. She bought what she liked to eat, wasn't wasteful, and didn't flaunt her wealth—that was the gist of it. She wouldn't buy sothing just because it was expensive if it wasn't worth the price. So Wang Yanran knew Bai Ningbing's family was well-off. But "well-off" was a far cry from "big shot" status. But today... it seems...
"No," Bai Ningbing denied.
Wang Yanran breathed a sigh of relief. But in the next mont, she felt too stunned to make complaints.
Because Bai Ningbing continued, "My boyfriend helped arrange it. He knows Xu Jun. He just called him to explain the situation, and Xu Jun agreed to co."
Bai Ningbing has definitely learned so new tricks, Luofeng mused. Did she pick up my thods? This silly girl, so earnestly saying such boastful things.
"..."
Wang Yanran looked speechlessly at Bai Ningbing, then turned to Luofeng in utter shock.
Luofeng spoke up. "The woman who are too confident, that's pretty much the situation. Our family's company has dealings with Hua Wei. Plus, my baby's original interviewee ran into so trouble, so Xu Jun agreed to fill in."
"I'm suddenly curious, what exactly does your family do?" Wang Yanran asked tentatively.
"Just a small business, nothing worth ntioning," Luofeng answered evasively. He just wanted to help Bai Ningbing maintain her friendship with her roommate. This silly girl, sotis she's truly clueless. "Our family has a decent relationship with Xu Jun, so helping out wasn't a big issue," Luofeng added.
Wang Yanran asked, "So, when Xu Jun arrives later, can I take a photo together with him?"
"Of course, no problem. It's a small thing," Luofeng replied.
Is there sothing wrong with this Wang Yanran? Luofeng thought. Actually wanting to take a photo together with an unattractive guy like Xu Jun. What strange taste. If it were soone like Daniel Wu, and she wanted a photo, I wouldn't think much of it. But Xu Jun? Isn't that going too far?
Dad Ma once said that looks and achievents are inversely proportional. That saying really seems to apply to the tycoons in wealthy circles. But ultimately, it boils down to this: if soone isn't good-looking, they might not be well-accepted by society, lacking affection and attention, especially when it cos to major life events like choosing a partner. With no such advantages, it is affirmative they will strive hard to make a na for themselves. As for handso people? They tend to have many friends from a young age and are usually popular with the opposite sex. They've always led happy lives. Naturally, their drive to succeed might not be as strong.
That's how I understand it, Luofeng thought. Otherwise, why would there be the saying, 'If you're ugly, hit the books'?
"Thank you! I'd really love to take a photo together with Xu Jun. I admire him a lot," Wang Yanran said with a smile.
Luofeng waved his hand, signaling her not to stand on ceremony.
Just then, a staff mber called out that their order was ready. Luofeng went to get the juice for Wang Yanran.
As Luofeng walked away, Wang Yanran quickly said to Bai Ningbing, "Ningbing, I really envy you."
"Your boyfriend is incredible! He actually arranged such a god-tier interviewee for you. With an interview subject like this, you're set to soar to new heights," Wang Yanran said, her voice full of envy.
Luofeng was getting the juice, and though he couldn't hear what they were saying, he saw the envious look on Wang Yanran's face. Her best friend is envious? This kind of situation... Could it be...?
