Chapter 372 A Tough Guy with a Tender Heart, Touching to the Eye

Su Youling's heart softened, and she sighed softly, "You're not that kind of person. I trust my teacher's judgment."

Snap!

In his excitement, Old Master Lu was so startled that he dropped the cup in his hand.

Fortunately, Su Youling reacted quickly and pulled him back, preventing him from getting burned. "Look at you, so clumsy at your age, like a little kid. In that respect, you're quite like my weird old man."

"You!" Old Master Lu grabbed her hand excitedly. "How did you know I was going to ask this? Your teacher..."

“Just like you, a grandmaster of the highest caliber—Master Ai.” Since Su Youling had already said it, she had no intention of hiding anything from him.

The old man was proud and arrogant. Even if he forced himself to forgive Lu Niao for the time being, that hurdle was still there.

He set aside his pride and came to find him in this situation, naturally to quickly resolve a matter that was more important to him than Lu Niao.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it before. It's just that the competition hasn't started yet, and I didn't want to give anyone a handle to use against me because of our old friendship." Su Youling said with a smile, "I'm not bad at being thick-skinned, but someone as important as you can't have your reputation ruined because of me."

She paused, tilted her head, and showed a rare hint of girlish playfulness. "As for the design just now, Grandpa can score it however he likes. Give me whatever you truly think I deserve. Just don't give my old man any face. Even if he knew in the afterlife, he would still give you a sarcastic rebuke and would definitely not appreciate it."

"You wish!" Old Master Lu was moved to tears. Although the content was not much, he could imagine his old friend's cynical and unruly appearance, which was really hateful.

"No wonder! When I first saw your design style and work habits, they were 80 or 90 percent similar to that old guy's. If he hadn't handed them over by himself, I really wouldn't have believed it." Old Master Lu's eyes were red. His excitement and nostalgia were silent, but his feelings for his old friend were so strong that they were deafening in the silence.

“You…” He looked at the girl with her distinctly mixed-race features.

I originally wanted to ask my old friend how we met, but looking into the girl's clear and bright eyes, I gave up on getting to the bottom of it.

The past is gone.

There's no point in pressing the matter further.

More importantly...

"So you and that kid Li Tingxi are together now?" Old Master Lu originally didn't want to meddle, but now that he knew the girl's identity, he couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

"Not yet." Su Youling answered every question, glancing out of the corner of her eye at Li Tingxi, who was surrounded by admirers not far away. Even though this wasn't his home turf, he always shone brightly wherever he went. "We still need to put him to a good test, after all, this guy's reputation is terrible."

I never expected that the two of them would be like this.

Grandpa Lu was stunned for a moment.

Seeing the young girl's confident expression, he swallowed back all the words of advice he had prepared, and sighed, "Fine, I just don't understand the feelings of you young people. Take care of yourself, always leave yourself a way out, don't become like Li Tingxi before..."

"Sigh, never mind. Just keep it to yourself. Next time you go to offer incense to Old Ai, let me know. He's been a friend for so many years; he should visit him before he dies." Before she could answer, Old Master Lu waved his hand, picked up a cup of tea, and swayed away.

Su Youling stepped out of the secluded corner and immediately met Li Tingxi's gaze, even though he had just been chatting earnestly with someone.

Is this like having radar installed on your body?

Su Youling pursed her lips, not intending to be too affectionate with him in this situation, even though Li Tingxi's previous actions had already...

I blew up enough for her...

The conference lasted for several hours before finally coming to a lively close.

Su Youling and her studio team left the venue happily, planning to celebrate. "Everyone has worked hard these past few days. Tonight it's on me. Eat or do whatever you want."

"Yay, long live the boss!"

"The boss is the best."

Annie started getting excited and they were already chattering about where to go and rip off their boss.

Wen Xi pulled Su Youling aside and said, "You're already celebrating? We haven't even been announced that it's us yet."

"No matter what, everyone did their best. The performance of the Strange Kingdom today was also perfect." Su Youling shrugged. "Regardless of the final result, everyone deserves a celebration."

"You really are..." Wen Xi glanced at her lively friends and said in a low voice, "Our original plan was leaked. Didn't you say there was a traitor inside? Why are you celebrating like this without even finding out the truth?"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Su Youling's eyes calmed down as she looked at the familiar and cheerful group of people. They were all people she had personally trained abroad, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them her confidants.

No matter who betrayed her, it made her very sad.

The reason I didn't want to investigate immediately was simply because I didn't want everyone to be sad.

Everyone had a pretty good idea of ​​who leaked the plan, and she would naturally find out in secret who did it.

But she hopes to give that person another chance, so that they will come forward and admit their mistake before she finds out.

Wenxi wanted to say something more, but suddenly glanced back and nodded, "The clingy big dog is here. Can you still come celebrate with us?"

Su Youling turned around.

Li

Tingxi strode over. He had come in a hurry today, with dark circles under his eyes and noticeable bloodshot veins. He hadn't changed his clothes either, and his suit was still a bit wrinkled, but it didn't detract from his handsome appearance. Instead, it added a touch of lazy and natural youthful charm.

The group of people from Yitao Culture didn't dare to go with the big boss. They got into the car with Master Li, while Zhao Chuang, perhaps in a bad mood, didn't follow the group and was nowhere to be seen.

Or perhaps, he couldn't wait to go and discuss countermeasures with the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Going to celebrate?" Li Tingxi walked to Su Youling's side and said with a smile, "May I have the honor of participating?"

“Sure.” Annie, with her sharp ears, immediately jumped over and gossiped, “President Li played the hero today, saving the damsel in distress and winning big. He’s a great hero to our Strange Kingdom, so of course we can celebrate together!”

The others joined in the commotion.

Especially the girls, who were initially a little in awe of Li Tingxi's ruthless and cold side, are now bursting with girlish excitement when they see his gentle and tender side towards his boss.

A tough guy with a tender heart is what truly touches people's hearts.

Su Youling tapped Annie on the head impatiently. "He's the boss of a competitor. What are you going to do there? Stop making a fuss and get in the car."

Annie stuck out her tongue, not daring to joke any further, and led the person into the car, looking back every few steps.

What a pity.

A handsome guy of this caliber is someone you can only admire from behind a screen.

Today, we finally managed to have a meal together, but the eldest brother ruthlessly ruined it.

"You really won't let me go?" Li Tingxi raised an eyebrow and leaned down to whisper in Su Youling's ear, "I thought you did pretty well today."

"Forget it, do you want to be a monkey in a zoo for people to visit?" Su Youling turned her head and gestured for him to look at the group of infatuated girls peeking out the car window.
