"Uncle, is Lu Jian'an's family very well-off?"
To be able to open a photo studio in Kyoto these days, one must be financially well-off.
Fu Tongyuan knew that Fu Linchuan wouldn't easily investigate just one person's occupation, so he went to investigate Lu Jian'an's family.
“Lu Jian’an’s family is indeed well-off. He has an aunt who just returned from abroad last year. The photography studio and the car he bought were all funded by his aunt,” Fu Tongyuan said. “Lu Jian’an is already thirty-three years old this year, and he is married with a wife and children.”
Fu Linchuan was even more impressed. Gao Ning, a twenty-year-old girl, was so willing to be someone's mistress.
"Thank you, Uncle."
Fu Tongyuan didn't ask Fu Linchuan why he was inquiring about this person. In his opinion, this nephew of his was the most reliable of his three nephews.
He often felt that he and Fu Linchuan were the same age.
After dinner in the cafeteria, only Fu Linchuan and Lu Gaoliang remained.
Fu Linchuan asked, "You still haven't seen your girlfriend these past two days?"
When Gao Ning was mentioned, Lu Gaoliang was clearly in a bad mood.
“Linchuan, I don’t know if I’m overthinking it, but I always feel like Gao Ning is avoiding me.” Lu Gaoliang sighed. “But I don’t want to ask her. What if she’s really busy with her classes, studying, or something else? It would make it seem like I don’t trust her.”
When it comes to matters of the heart, they are actually the most difficult to handle.
It could really cause serious injury if not handled properly.
"Gao Liang, just in case, I mean just in case, it's not that you don't trust her, it's just that there really is a problem between the two of you..."
Before Fu Linchuan could finish speaking, Lu Gaoliang immediately said, "No, Gao Ning and I have known each other for three years, and we will not separate. Linchuan, there's no such thing as a 'what if'."
Fu Linchuan's words caught in his throat; there was simply no other way.
Emotional matters could easily damage their brotherly relationship.
Fu Linchuan pondered, as the saying goes, a short pain is worse than a long one.
Lu Gaoliang didn't believe in those things, so he might as well let him see for himself.
It was clear that Lu Gaoliang didn't want to talk about Gao Ning, so Fu Linchuan changed the subject.
The two chatted as they walked to the entrance of the dormitory building.
"Is Luo Jingtong here to see you again?" Lu Gaoliang asked Fu Linchuan when he saw Luo Jingtong standing at the door.
Fu Linchuan looked over and saw that Luo Jingtong had already walked this way.
"Fu Linchuan, we've taken on a competition. Are you interested?"
Fu Linchuan raised an eyebrow, "You took on this competition in your junior year, and you're coming to me asking if you're interested?"
Luo Jingtong touched his nose. "So what? I think what you made is pretty good. Just tell me if you're interested or not. If you are, I'll save a spot for you."
Fu Linchuan told Lu Gaoliang to go back first, "What competition? Who are you competing against?"
"It's a design competition, and we're competing with several foreign universities, as well as other schools in China. Fu Linchuan, you know this is for the honor of our country, so we must get a good ranking this time."
Fu Linchuan originally had no intention of participating in competitions that were only within the school or among a few schools in Kyoto.
But when Luo Jingtong said that, he became interested.
He wasn't very confident that he was capable enough to win first place, but he was fortunate to have experience from his previous life.
He must have seen so many designers, both domestic and international, in his past life.
"You have the right to reserve a spot? For such an important competition, shouldn't the academy hold an internal competition first after registration?"
Luo Jingtong said, "What I mean is, let you join our team first."
Fu Linchuan stroked his chin. "Alright, then I'll be the captain."
Luo Jingtong's eyes widened. "Fu Linchuan, are you out of your mind? You're only a freshman. I'm already being very generous by letting you join our team, and you want to be the captain?"
Fu Linchuan said nonchalantly, "If you won't let me be the team leader, then I'll find some classmates to form our own team and I'll be the team leader."
Luo Jingtong scoffed, "Your classmates are all freshmen too. Do you think you can beat us in the school competition?"
Fu Linchuan said, "Luo Jingtong, who can say for sure about this? As the saying goes, the new waves of the Yangtze River push the old waves forward, and we, the new waves, will be the first to leave you stranded on the beach!"
Luo Jingtong: ...
"You definitely can't be the team leader; the rest of our team won't agree. Fu Linchuan, think about it again. I don't think your classmates could even pass the school's selection process to form a team."
Seeing Luo Jingtong about to leave, Fu Linchuan called out, "Wait."
Luo Jingtong thought Fu Linchuan had figured it out so quickly.
"You've agreed to join our team?"
Fu Linchuan waved his hand, "No, I said I wanted to be the captain."
Luo Jingtong was speechless. "Then why did you call me?"
"Didn't you boast about your extensive network and say you had a misunderstanding about me before and wanted to resolve it? Now I'll give you a chance."
Luo Jingtong genuinely felt guilty for misunderstanding Fu Linchuan at the beginning; otherwise, he wouldn't have kept coming to see Fu Linchuan.
Now that Fu Linchuan has actually given him a chance, that's really great.
"Of course I have a lot of connections. What do you want to do?"
Fu Linchuan pulled the person aside and said, "Can you help me find out where the owner of Jian'an Photo Studio goes and when?"
Luo Jingtong patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry about that, it's too easy."
"I'm telling you, you're not allowed to tell anyone about this."
Luo Jingtong nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I'm not the type to gossip."
