Chapter 103: Reward for Her
"No, I just walked a little too fast..." Nie Yao picked up the water cup and took a few sips. Only then did she feel a little cooler. She whispered, "On my way to the company just now, I felt like someone was following me, so I walked around a few more times!"
"Following?" Father Nie's eyes widened, thinking he had misheard. His expression was filled with worry: "Ayao, are you sure?"
"I should be right. I have felt like someone was staring at me ever since I got on the subway..." Nie Yao held the water cup and described in a low voice.
After hearing this, Father Nie felt that it was unlikely that she was being followed. He smiled and comforted her, "It might just be paparazzi. Don't worry too much..."
"Paparazzi?" Nie Yao raised an eyebrow in confusion and tilted her head. "I'm not a celebrity, why would paparazzi follow me?"
Father Nie raised his lips slightly, picked up a magazine from the desk, and handed it to Nie Yao: "Take a look, this is a magazine that just came out this morning!"
Nie Yao took the magazine and saw that the cover was a group photo of the guests attending yesterday's charity auction, and in the center of the photo were her and Li Jinxing!
"This cover..." Nie Yao frowned slightly and flipped through the pages of the magazine. Sure enough, it reported extensively on yesterday's charity auction. There was also a photo of her and Li Jinxing sitting at the same table. The two of them were whispering to each other and looked very intimate.
"The amount of donations from this charity auction was substantial, and it has already attracted widespread public attention. Everyone is praising the success of this charity gala, so there's been a lot of coverage..."
Father Nie said this and explained with a smile, "I heard that Master Li Jiu is always present at every charity donation, but this is the first time he has attended in such a high-profile manner, and he sat right next to you, Ayao! So, it's not surprising that you were targeted by the reporters and paparazzi..."
"But I wasn't the protagonist of yesterday's charity event. Isn't it distracting from the main event by emphasizing Li Jinxing and me so much?" Nie Yao shook her head with a helpless smile and returned the magazine to her father.
"This magazine didn't write anything wrong, so you don't have to worry. Although our Nie family has never been known to make a big splash in charity, your participation in this event on behalf of the Nie family, Ayao, was quite successful. I heard someone paid a high price for our donated collection!"
Father Nie patted Nie Yao on the shoulder and smiled with satisfaction: "Your grandfather is also very satisfied with your performance this time. He even said he would reward you!"
"No need for a reward... Actually, I almost messed things up before, luckily Li Jinxing came to the rescue..." Nie Yao stopped here.
If Li Jinxing hadn't helped her out, who knows how long she and Ji Minghuan would have continued to bid for the collection, so she has no right to take credit for this matter from her father!
"It's okay. Assistant Mei has already told me everything!" Father Nie saw his daughter's apologetic look and smiled, comforting her. "No matter what the process was, the result was good, so of course the reward must be given!"
Father Nie said this, then walked to his desk, opened the drawer, took out a brand new car key, and handed it to Nie Yao: "Ayao, this new car is for you--"
"Dad?" Nie Yao raised his head and looked at his father in shock. He didn't expect that the reward his father mentioned was actually giving him a car.
"Didn't you just say you were worried about being followed? With a car, it won't be so easy for paparazzi to follow you. Besides, the apartment is quite far from the Nie family's old house. You have your own car, and the driver's license procedures have been completed. You can drive back anytime to see your father and grandfather. Take it!"
