Chapter 219: Chapter 219 Three short messages

Translator: Doggotranslation 

Argument? The problem between Mo Fei and I wasn’t just an argument that simple.

Anyway, since Guo Xiang and Xingyu had already misunderstood my relationship with Mo Fei, I simply nodded, not wanting to explain it further. However, in my mind, I couldn’t help but feel strange. I understood the reason why Liu Xiaosheng wanted to get rid of me, this rival in love, but I didn’t understand why Zhang Mingjie and Zhang Li would help him. In other words, if Zhang Mingjie didn’t plan to chase Mo Fei, why would he bother to set up a trap for Wu Xueqing to jump in?

Zhang Mingjie, Liu Xiaosheng, Liu Xingyu… These names kept floating in my mind. At this moment, Liu Xingyu’s cell phone rang, and it was actually my stepmother who called her.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Xingyu said to me enviously. “It’s little sister Yuan Yuan who asked aunt to ask me if you’re still with us. Hehe, you’ve been out for too long and she is worried about it. Elder Brother Nan, your relationship with your little sister is really good, and I’m really envious.”

I took out my mobile phone and realized that I didn’t turn it on. I smiled and said, “Don’t tell me that you are envious because Yuan Yuan has an elder brother that she can bully at will. Haha, if that’s the case, don’t you already have someone who loves you and is willing to be bullied by you? Xingyu, you shouldn’t take it for granted. You know?”

“How would I have the heart to bully him? He has already been bullied enough by my family,” Liu Xingyu looked sad, holding Guo Xiang’s big hand, and sighed softly, “Little Sister Yuan Yuan is happier than me. If my elder brother were half as thoughtful as Elder Brother Nan, or even just one-third as good as Elder Brother Nan, I would already be satisfied. Now I only hope that he will not bully two of us.”

It seemed that Liu Xiaosheng really disagreed with the relationship between Liu Xingyu and Guo Xiang. I secretly sympathized with Guo Xiang. The wealthy people probably only thought about what would benefit them the most and didn’t care about feelings, such an unrealistic thing. This was probably also the reason why Liu Xiaosheng wanted to chase Mo Fei. I only pretend that I didn’t know why Liu Xingyu felt sad and stood up, “My little sister just looks cute, but she’s actually very unreasonable. If she is half as gentle as you, or even just one-third as gentle as you, I would be satisfied too. Haha, since she summoned me, then I should leave.”

“Wait, Xiao Nan, I have one more thing that I need to tell you,” Guo Xiang stood up, pulled me, and asked, “You haven’t told your father about your resignation from Fengchang, is it because you are planning to find a new job and then tell him later?”

“Mhm, lest he would worry about it.”

“Then have you found a new job?”

I just resigned, how would I be able to find a new job that quickly? I smiled, “Not yet, I want to rest for a few days before finding a new job.”

“How about coming to my company?” Guo Xiang said straightway. “Xiao Nan, you also know that I just took over the company, and I am still trying to reorganize the senior management team. I need a talented person like you, so can you come to help me?”

Liu Xingyu also said, “Yes, Elder Brother Nan, we all know about your ability…”

“You are flattering me. I am not that good.” I interrupted Xingyu and said, “Lao Guo, I understand your kindness. I know what kind of abilities I have, and I am a lazy person. I am afraid that I will only be a hindrance to your new management team. Besides… nepotism this kind of practice is not good. You know this better than me, don’t you? People will only use this against you in the future.”

In order to gain a strong foothold in Heng Xiang, Guo Xiang fired many people who didn’t get the job through the proper channel. If he rashly recruited me into his company, not only would it create a bad image for me in the business circle, but it would also ruin his own image that he had been trying so hard to build in his company.

“You are a talented person, so people will realize it very quickly. At that time, they would not care about how you got the job. But I’ve expected that you would reject me,” Guo Xiang and Xingyu looked at each other, and chuckled slightly: “You are a talented man, so no matter where you go, you will definitely shine? Since you reject me, I won’t insist on it anymore. But the next invitation request, you must accept it.”

Guo Xiang has really overestimated my ability. The reason why I rejected him wasn’t that I was trying to be humble. I knew my own ability, so I didn’t want to use this favor to leech off him. But I was curious what his next request would be? “Invitation? Is it attending your wedding ceremony? That I will definitely not refuse.”

Xingyu’s face flushed, and Guo Xiang shook his head bitterly, “Xiao Nan, please stop making fun of us…”

“I am not making fun of you.” I said seriously, “Lao Guo, if you two lose confidence in each other just because someone opposes your relationship and disagrees that you two stay together, then you two’s feelings for each other aren’t that strong. Although it doesn’t sound nice, it is true. The more obstacles you have the more would it be able to prove how true your loves for each other are. To be honest, it is not that I want to look down on you, Yang Guo and Little Dragon Maiden in The Return of the Condor Heroes waited sixteen years to get together; they had so many obstacles on their paths, but they still made it. Do you think your obstacles are bigger than them?”

Guo Xiang and Liu Xingyu were dazed by my speech. There was even a thin layer of mist in Xingyu’s eyes, but her tone became firmer, “Elder Brother Nan, thank you.”

“Why do you need to thank me? All shall be well, and Jack shall have Jill, this is an eternal truth.” hadn’t I realized that I was actually still single, I would’ve almost been fooled myself by my own speech.

“Determination…” I didn’t know what Guo Xiang was thinking. After a short silence, he looked a little more confident than before and said: “Xiao Nan, next Monday night, Long Xiaotian, a leading figure in the real estate industry in Bei Tian City, will celebrate his 80th birthday. People from all walks of life will come to congratulate him. I also received an invitation. I would like to invite you to go with me. I hope you won’t reject me.”

I frowned, “that Long Xiaotian’s 80th birthday has nothing to do with me. Why do I need to go to his birthday party?”

“Elder Brother Nan, why did you become dumb all of sudden?” Liu Xingyu smiled and said, “Long Xiaotian is an iconic figure in Bei Tian City’s business community. His network and influence are extraordinary. His 80th birthday is equivalent to an upper-class party. Guo Xiang wants to introduce you to some people. At that time, you don’t need to go out and find a job, the jobs will come to you instead.”

So that was the case, I understood Guo Xiang’s intention after a little thought. The benefactor of the Heng Xiang Group and the friend of the young chairman Guo Xiang of Hengxiang Group, with these two names, even for the future cooperation with Heng Xiang, I would become a popular person in the eyes of some people. Guo Xiang’s invitation was actually even more precious than asking me to go to his company, and it directly lifted my status to the same height as his!

I wanted to refuse, but I saw Guo Xiang waved his hand to stop me from speaking, “You just treat it as a free buffet dinner. If you want to reject me, then I will have no face to appear in front of you again.”

At this moment, if I declined his kindness again, it would be really hypocritical, so I said: “Okay, I will accompany you to the free buffet dinner.”

I was very grateful for Guo Xiang’s kindness in my heart, but I really didn’t like to get a job through that method. So I decided that after the banquet I would avoid contacting people related to him. Guo Xiang didn’t know what I thought in my heart, hearing that I accepted his invitation, he simply smiled happily.

At this moment, Liu Xingyu’s mobile phone rang again. Chu Yuan had asked my stepmother to call her again. I hurriedly turned on my mobile phone, and as soon as my mobile phone was turned on, the message ringtone rang out non-stop. Before I looked at the message, I smiled bitterly at Xingyu and Guo Xiang, “my little sister is really like a little strict housewife. We just left not long ago, but she has already sent so many messages.”

“In that case, we will part here. There are still a lot of things waiting for me to solve in the company,” before leaving, Guo Xiang reminded: “Don’t forget, I will pick you up at 8 o’clock the next night.”

“Okay,” I responded casually, but before I turned around, a name suddenly flashed past my mind inexplicably, “Xingyu, which university are you currently studying in?”

Picking up her bag, Xingyu who was about to leave, was dazed for a second, and then answered in confusion. “Bei Tian University, elder brother Nan, what’s wrong?”

“Bei Tian University?” Cold sweat began to appear on my forehead. Don’t tell me that…

Swallowing laboriously, I asked, “Well, do you know a girl named Xiao Yike?”

Xingyu was startled at first, and then happily said: “Elder Brother Nan also knows Yike that little minx?”

Oh my god, there was really such a coincidence in the world! Sure enough, no wonder I felt that the name “Xingyu” was a bit familiar. The night when Wu Xueqing was almost drugged, I heard Xiao Yike mentioned her name by accident! Moreover, according to the minx, wasn’t her “Elder Sister Xingyu” the fiancee of Zhang Peiwen who wanted to drug Wu Xueqing? !

No wonder the Liu family didn’t support Lao Guo’s relationship with Liu Xingyu. It turned out she was someone else’s fiancee.

…

There were three text messages: one was from Liusu. She didn’t ask me why I didn’t turn on the phone, nor did she tell me that she wanted to talk to me. She just asked me to rest well and take care of myself these two days because it had been raining non-stop.

Seeing this, I couldn’t help but feel moved. This careless girl actually knew how to care about other people.

The second one was sent by Dong Xiaoye, reminding me not to forget the time of the “duel”. To put it bluntly, she couldn’t wait to punch me in the face. After putting her off for so long, it was time to settle it. I touched my face. Alas, my handsome face would probably be ruined tomorrow.

The third one surprised me the most. It was actually Mo Fei. Her words were very brief: “Chu Nan, I want to talk to you one last time, I am begging you, can you give me a chance? Please!”

No! I secretly sighed, I would rather believe that there were ghosts in the world than believing in women’s words. Their “one last time” was never really one last time. For example, Liusu often said, “Nan Nan, can you go shopping with me, just one last time.” And then? I swore on my dignity that she has been saying this one last time many times in the past four years. Using her own word, it would be one last time that week, or even that day!…

‘One last time’ was just a trick that women used to beg for something they wanted.

Mo Fei had never begged anyone else before, so I could read her bitterness and grievances from her text messages. But it was exactly because she only begged me, so I didn’t want her to depend on me. I knew that I was her father’s substitute in her eyes. If I kept giving her what she wanted, it would only make her become addicted to it. So I would not give her a chance.

I sighed and deleted the text message.
