Chapter 361 Exposing the Disguise
Lu Junyan sized up Yuan Pei without making a sound.
Yuan Pei clearly dressed up deliberately today.
He was wearing a rare black satin tuxedo, which looked exceptionally formal, and his hair was styled in a slicked-back style, making him look much more handsome and composed than usual.
Yuan Pei's expression was also different from usual; she looked so beautiful that she almost snot bubbles were about to come out of her nose.
Lu Junyan knew very well that Yuan Pei couldn't have been laughing like that just because he saw him.
Seeing that Lu Junyan did not answer him, but instead his brows furrowed more and more, Yuan Pei squeezed through the gap between Lu Junyan and Bai Yichen and came to stand in front of Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning was also surprised to see Yuan Pei dressed like this.
"Here, this is for you."
Yuan Pei handed Jiang Ning a bouquet of flowers.
Jiang Ning initially wanted to refuse because she was allergic to pollen.
"Don't worry, it's not flowers, it's chocolate."
Upon hearing Yuan Pei's words, Jiang Ning noticed that each stem in the large bouquet of flowers was wrapped with chocolate.
"I asked a friend to buy them in France. There were ninety-nine of them, with ninety-nine different flavors."
Yuan Pei's eyes sparkled as he said this.
Jiang Ning felt a little embarrassed.
Normally, she might refuse.
But since Yuan Pei was dressed so formally tonight, and in front of Lu Junyan and Bai Yichen, Jiang Ning finally accepted Yuan Pei's gift with pleasure.
"Thank you, Yuan Pei, I like it very much."
Upon hearing Jiang Ning say he liked it, Yuan Pei's face immediately turned as red as a monkey's bottom.
"Hehe, I'm glad you like it."
Touching the back of his neck, Yuan Pei smiled shyly yet proudly.
"Well... Brother Lu, Jiang Ning and I will be leaving now!"
Yuan Pei hesitated for a moment, but still grabbed Jiang Ning's arm and pulled him away from Lu Junyan and Bai Yichen.
Caught between these two people, Yuan Pei could smell the strong scent of gunpowder and jealousy, and it was unbearable to stay for even a second longer.
Watching Jiang Ning get into Yuan Pei's Lamborghini with the bouquet of chocolates Yuan Pei had given her, Lu Junyan's sharp features were like a storm brewing.
As a result, Jiang Ning never accepted the jewelry he gave her, but she was pleased when Yuan Pei gave her a few chocolates.
Seeing Lu Junyan clench his fists, Bai Yichen gave a cold smile.
"Ah Ning doesn't want to talk to you at all. Don't you think it's a bit shameless of you to be so eager to get close to her?"
Lu Junyan also laughed, but his smile carried a hint of aggression.
"It's as if Jiang Ning paid any attention to you."
“She ignored me tonight, but at least Aning accepted my invitation… Everyone knows who is the only one left out.”
After saying that, Bai Yichen turned and left.
Lu Junyan became the only person standing outside the Jiangning office building, like a motionless telephone pole.
Meanwhile, Yuan Pei drove Jiang Ning around, his upturned lips never drooping.
"What's making you so happy?" Jiang Ning asked curiously.
"Because you invited me to dinner!" Yuan Pei said truthfully.
"that's all?"
"Yeah! What's wrong?"
Yuan Pei glanced at Jiang Ning, not understanding why Jiang Ning was surprised.
Actually, Jiang Ning really didn't expect Yuan Pei to be dressed so formally and to be smiling so happily, because she had taken the initiative to invite him to dinner.
In Jiang Ning's view, a large part of the credit for her great success in this collaboration with Black Hole should be attributed to Yuan Pei.
She treated us to the meal as a way of expressing her gratitude.
But judging from Yuan Pei's behavior, he seemed to be treating this meal as a date.
Jiang Ning was momentarily embarrassed, unsure whether he should offer an explanation.
Yuan Pei didn't say much to her, and her initiative to explain seemed deliberate.
The restaurant was booked in advance by Jiang Ning; it was a very high-end buffet.
Before going to dinner, Jiang Ning changed his clothes. Although they weren't as formal as Yuan Pei's, at least the style was more consistent.
The two ate their meal facing each other, and Jiang Ning listened intently as Yuan Pei enthusiastically recounted various novels to her.
"Oh, right, I have something important to tell you."
Seeing Yuan Pei suddenly put on a serious face, Jiang Ning deliberately teased him with a smile.
"Don't you have important business to attend to?"
"What are you talking about? I always do serious business!"
Speaking with righteous indignation, Yuan Pei took out his phone, fiddled with it for a bit, and then handed it to Jiang Ning.
"I bet you're too busy to have seen Lin Wanrong's challenge letter!"
"A challenge?"
Jiang Ning was stunned.
"This is it!"
Yuan Pei pointed to his phone. Jiang Ning looked down and saw that Yuan Pei was showing her the interface of an app.
"This is a street racing app. It's full of information about street racing, and most racing enthusiasts and professional drivers are on it... Just today, Lin Wanrong posted a challenge to you in the chat section, inviting you to race at the most famous street racing venue in City A this weekend. Everyone is waiting for you to accept the challenge!"
Listening to Yuan Pei's words, Jiang Ning opened the challenge letter that Lin Wanrong had posted under her real name, which clearly stated the time and place of the competition.
The challenger is—
"Lin Chu?"
"Yes, she's challenging Lin Chu, the racing goddess of City A, so many people in our racing circle are very interested in your race!"
"...But I don't even have this app!"
"That's alright." Yuan Pei waved his hand. "If you haven't accepted the challenge within a day, the app assistant will contact you through various channels."
"I see……"
Jiang Ning carefully read through Lin Wanrong's publicly issued challenge.
The last sentence inside is very clear.
If she wins this street race, Lin Wanrong will give her the most valuable mine in her possession.
If Lin Wanrong wins, she will have to transfer the patent rights of the seamless fully hidden inlay technology to Lin Wanrong.
"Did you see the bet she wrote at the bottom?"
Jiang Ning raised his eyes and nodded at Yuan Pei.
"Um……"
"Because she mentioned your patented technology, many people in the industry are now speculating that our mysterious racing goddess Lin Chu in City A might be the BYC master... In other words, you're about to reveal your true identity."
Jiang Ning was not surprised by Yuan Pei's reminder.
Even if she wears the helmet again this time, some people will probably still guess that Lin Chu is Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning smiled dismissively.
She didn't expect Lin Wanrong to be such a sore loser.
After losing to her in the business world, he actually tried to obtain her patented technology through street racing.
"Jiang Ning, you should accept the challenge, right? After all, you've beaten her before."
Yuan Pei's words made Jiang Ning have some doubts.
She had previously won against Lin Wanrong fair and square at a street racetrack in Country C.
If Lin Wanrong wants to turn the tide in the business world, shouldn't she choose a more prudent approach?
Or is it...?
Is Lin Wanrong confident that she can win the race in City A?
