Chapter 25 Is this how you ask for help?
Lu Fengqing's luck at cards wasn't good today; she didn't win many hands all afternoon.
However, the amount of money she lost was nothing to her; she lost it, but she was still in a pretty good mood.
The women didn't stay out too late; they broke up around 5:30.
A slightly older woman was walking at the back. After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly leaned close to Lu Fengqing's ear and whispered, "Young Master Zhou has been having a run of bad luck lately. He's lost several big deals in a row, and there was even a project that was about to be signed, but the other party changed their mind at the last minute."
Lu Fengqing said softly, "I don't know about these things."
The other party lowered their voice and reminded, "Recently, only your family has had a falling out with the Tang family. In any case, the Lu family is going to take the blame. Miss Lu might as well have your two brothers try to make an appointment with the person in charge of those projects."
Lu Fengqing's smile deepened. "Thank you for the reminder."
The woman sighed, "The eldest son of the Tang family is coming back soon. The Tang family's future is uncertain. It's not a bad thing for Miss Lu to cancel this engagement."
She stopped there and didn't say anything more.
Lu Fengqing saw her to the door and watched her walk away. Then she turned around and looked at Huo Huaisui, who was sitting listlessly on the sofa, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
Huo Huai Sui said listlessly, "Fourth Brother said he'd introduce me to a boyfriend."
Lu Fengqing glanced at the next room subconsciously.
The seats next to us were empty; the young master and Miss Qin, who had come for their date, had long since left.
"That's good," Lu Fengqing said.
She also wanted someone to introduce her to men.
Huo Huai Sui pouted, "I'm only 23, why should I get married?"
Lu Fengqing said, "We can start talking now. While we're still young, let's talk to a few more."
Huo Huaisui: "No!"
Lu Fengqing asked the waiter to come in and clear the mahjong table, then picked up the menu and asked, "What would you like to eat?"
Huo Huaisui: "Whatever."
After dinner, with plenty of time to spare, the two women went to a nail salon to get their nails done.
The nail technician held Lu Fengqing's hand and sincerely praised, "Miss, your hands are so beautiful."
Her fingers were slender and long, her skin was fair, and her nails were round and beautiful.
Beside her, Huo Huai Sui was still fretting about what had just happened, muttering, "It's not that I don't want to date, it's just that I can't meet anyone I like. What can I do? I'm already 23 years old, I've never held a boy's hand, I have no one to give my first kiss to, and I'm still a virgin... I rely entirely on Baidu for the results when writing passionate scenes."
Lu Fengqing was speechless for a while before asking, "Isn't this a campaign against pornography and illegal publications? How can you still write passionate scenes?"
"...No. I was just saying." Huo Huai Sui sighed. "Anyway, I think this matter is fine no matter what, just don't compromise. Let it be."
Lu Fengqing handed her other hand to the nail technician, "So you should take advantage of your youth to choose carefully, instead of staying at home all day. When you get old and lose your looks, you'll have to settle for whatever you have."
"We'll see." Huo Huaisui turned to look at Lu Fengqing. "What about you, Niannian? Would you settle for that?"
Lu Fengqing did not answer immediately, but picked up her phone and pressed the answer button.
A little boy's soft, sweet voice came from inside, "Auntie."
Lu Fengqing's eyes crinkled into a smile. "What's wrong, Rui Rui?"
"Auntie, Daddy's busy," Rui Rui said. "Happy Children's Day, Auntie."
Lu Fengqing was taken aback. "Dad can't perform at kindergarten on Children's Day?"
Rui Rui responded listlessly.
Even through the phone, Lu Fengqing could imagine his adorable appearance with his puffed-up cheeks and downcast head.
A smile flickered in Lu Fengqing's eyes, "Rui Rui wants her aunt to go?"
Rui Rui said, "I want to."
"Okay." Lu Fengqing agreed with a smile, "Auntie will go back and prepare for the program."
Lu Fengqing coaxed the little guy a few more times on the phone before hanging up.
Huo Huai Sui: "Your eldest brother's son?"
Lu Fengqing hummed in a good mood, "You've never held a boy's hand before, right? I'll bring him out another day so you can hold his hand."
Huo Huaisui: "..."
Thank you. The world is more beautiful because of you.
As they left the nail salon and before getting into the car, Lu Fengqing suddenly said, "I'll make do."
Huo Huaisui was taken aback.
When she turned around again, Lu Fengqing had already gotten into the car.
-
Parents go to the kindergarten to perform, but it's always the same few shows over and over again.
Lu Fengqing searched for videos online for a long time, and after watching them all, she felt that singing was the simplest.
It's all done with just a few words.
The question is, what song should we sing?
Lu Fengqing scanned the children's song playlist several times, finally settled on one, and started humming along on repeat.
Feeling the atmosphere wasn't quite right, I went online and ordered a home karaoke system.
Lu Fengqing was standing on the sofa, singing enthusiastically into the microphone, when she saw her phone screen light up. She picked it up and casually pressed the answer button.
"Your smile is so beautiful, like the summer sun... Hey—who is that?"
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for two seconds, then asked, "Are you summoning a spirit?"
Lu Fengqing: "..."
Lu Fengqing scolded him: "How can you talk like that? Do you want to continue this conversation?"
"Open the door."
"?"
Lu Fengqing jogged over and opened the door, her face downcast as she asked, "What are you doing here?"
Didn't you find someone new? Why are you still looking for her?!
Gu Suixing: "The contract hasn't been signed yet."
Lu Fengqing immediately changed her expression and quickly stepped aside, saying, "Please go ahead."
Gu Suixing pulled her suitcase inside.
The room was dark, with a projected image on the wall and background music playing from the speakers.
Lu Fengqing closed the door and glanced at his suitcase by the door. "Are you going on a business trip?"
Gu Suixing: "Go to City C."
Lu Fengqing nodded. "So?"
If you're going on a business trip, why are you coming here instead of going to the airport?
Gu Suixing: "Pack your things and come with me."
"?"
Lu Fengqing glared at him, "You asked me to come along on your business trip?"
She was neither his assistant nor an employee of the Gu family, so what was she doing there? As a mascot?
Gu Suixing: "Don't you want the necklace and earrings that come with the ring?"
Lu Fengqing's beautiful fox-like eyes widened slightly as she looked at him in disbelief.
This isn't just giving her a diamond ring; it's clearly setting her up with a consumer trap.
Gu Suixing looked at the projection on the wall, "Change the song."
Lu Fengqing: "No trade!"
Gu Suixing: "Then go pack your things."
"..."
Lu Fengqing said irritably, "Is this how you ask for favors?"
Gu Suixing: "The contract..."
Lu Fengqing gritted her teeth, "I'll go!"
All you do is threaten her with this. Are you even human?!
Gu Suixing looked at her thoughtfully, as if wondering whether she was saying "go" or "insult".
Lu Fengqing: "When?"
Gu Suixing: "Tomorrow morning."
"No way." Lu Fengqing refused without even thinking.
Gu Suixing looked at her without saying anything.
Lu Fengqing pouted, "Tomorrow is Children's Day, I have to go to kindergarten."
“My older brother’s son’s kindergarten teacher asked the parents to perform a show, but my older brother didn’t have time to go.”
Gu Suixing raised an eyebrow. "So you're planning to sing?"
"Yes." Lu Fengqing picked up the microphone.
Gu Suixing: "Change it."
"Why?"
"You're not suited to singing."
Lu Fengqing was a little unhappy. "Then tell me, what am I suited to do?"
Gu Suixing: "Moaning in bed."
Lu Fengqing: "".
