Director Du was visiting Emperor for the first time.
For someone as high-ranking as him in an entertainment company, it was quite laughable to admit he’d never been to Emperor!
Not only him, but Ji Huan, Xiao Nuomi, and Song Yuan were also there for the first time, sitting in a luxurious private room, all marveling at the novelty.
“I never thought I’d be able to come to Emperor…” Nuomi suddenly remembered something and turned to Song Yuan, “Brother Yuan, I heard you have to give tips here, starting from four figures. Is that true?”
Song Yuan shrugged, “Even if it were true, I wouldn’t take it seriously.”
She would absolutely not give away her hard-earned money by pretending to be rich.
Nuomi was greatly encouraged, “En!”
Learned something new!
Director Du hurriedly asked Xia Weiliang, “Liang, who exactly invited you? That… are they just inviting you to hang out? Could it be… hehe, Liang, don’t blame your brother for being nosy. It wasn’t easy for you to get where you are today; you achieved it step by step. Shortcuts aren’t suitable for you! It’s better to be down-to-earth!”
It was truly surprising and pleasing to hear such words from Director Du!
Nuomi exclaimed, “Wow! Director Du, that mindset is pretty good!”
Director Du glared at her, “Children shouldn’t use such language!”
Xia Weiliang picked up her juice and drank, “Brother, don’t worry. There are no such transactions. Besides, they actually didn’t invite me today!”
She winked mysteriously, which made Director Du even more confused. “Could it be… they invited me? Admiring my talent and abilities? Then we must be kindred spirits!”
Ji Huan smiled, “Our Director Du is now a symbol of aspiration. President Jiang is calling on everyone in the company to learn from Director Du!”
Director Du was very humble, “Not at all, not at all. It’s mainly because Liang guided me well. I’ve also reached this point step by step! Honestly, it’s quite fulfilling, and I feel more grounded.”
Just then, the door opened, and someone walked in.
“Miss Xia, you’ve brought friends. How are you enjoying yourselves? Please let me know if you need anything.”
Xiao Yu entered with Zhao Xuan, his gaze immediately locking onto Song Yuan.
Song Yuan was dressed in her usual comfortable style, wearing ripped jeans, canvas shoes, a skull-print hoodie, a black stud in one ear, and her hair was styled naturally, with the fluffy ends tucked into her neck, her hair soft, making one want to pet it.
However, the other party was engrossed in eating the fruit on the table, not even glancing up.
Xiao Yu maintained his composure and continued to smile at Xia Weiliang. Xia Weiliang also played along, “Old Six, thank you so much. It’s thanks to you that we’re all here for the first time.”
Actually, in her previous life after rebirth, she had been here. Moreover, she knew that Emperor was actually Xiao Yi’s property.
Not the Xiao family’s, but Xiao Yi’s personal venture.
Therefore, as soon as Xiao Yu suggested coming here, she agreed without a second thought.
Nuomi: Old… Old Six?
Was she sure calling him that wouldn’t spark a discussion about intelligence?
Ji Huan was observant. Xiao Yu’s demeanor and attire suggested he was no ordinary person. Moreover, he was young, likely in his early twenties, possibly a young master from a prominent family.
But upon closer inspection, she noticed that Xiao Yu’s attitude towards Xia Weiliang, while attentive, was mostly respectful, as if… she were an elder awaiting his bow.
Therefore, he likely wasn’t interested in Xia Weiliang. Then it must be…
It wasn’t until she saw Xiao Yu’s subtle gaze sweep over Song Yuan that Ji Huan finally understood. The drunkard’s intention was not the wine, but rather, which cup of wine it was.
Ji Huan felt reassured.
Of course, she wasn’t abandoning Song Yuan. It was simply that Song Yuan was too formidable. Any man who dared to harbor intentions towards her might find himself dead in the street if she became displeased!
A man brave enough to marry such a woman could not be ordinary.
Xia Weiliang invited Xiao Yu to sit. After Xiao Yu sat down, he looked to the side, “Miss Song, we meet again.”
Song Yuan acted as if she had just noticed his presence, slowly lifting her eyelids and glancing at him, “Who are you?”
Xiao Yu: “……”
Nuomi struggled to suppress her laughter, her face turning red. Sister Yuan was truly an insulator of love… no, an insulator of the opposite sex!
As of now, the opposite-sex person she had spoken to the most was actually Director Du!!
Can you believe it?
It was Director Du!
Little Brother Du!!
Seeing such an excellent man as Xiao Yu, Nuomi felt Sister Yuan was wasting a gem. She should at least add him on WeChat and leave her contact information!
Alas, she would probably talk him away again.
Xiao Yu was initially stunned by her reaction, then smiled, “Let me reintroduce myself, Xiao Yu. Those familiar with me call me Ziqin.”
Song Yuan was about to say, “Your name doesn’t matter,” when she suddenly saw Xia Weiliang, Nuomi, and the others looking at her with encouraging eyes…
She furrowed her brow and slowly said, “Song Yuan.”
Xiao Yu smiled, “I know.”
Song Yuan glanced at him, her eyes conveying, “You’re a bit troublesome.”
Having learned each other’s names was the first step to understanding. Now, the hope was that they would proceed smoothly.
Xia Weiliang looked at everyone, “Shall we go play billiards over there! There’s also street basketball and games, they’re so much fun!”
They were all in the entertainment industry, and each one was sharper than a monkey. They understood immediately. Director Du quickly said, “Yes, yes, let’s go take a look~ Today, little Brother Du will show you the glory of Seventh Middle School’s ‘Sakuragi Hanamichi’!”
Nuomi and Xia Weiliang cheered, “Then we must appreciate Director Du’s prowess!”
Xia Weiliang saw Song Yuan’s eyes lighting up and immediately remembered that this gentleman was a key player on the school team in high school!
She was known as “Rukawa Yuan,” adored by thousands of girls!
Her popularity rivaled the school heartthrob. After every basketball game, she would receive dozens of love letters. Honestly, if Xia Weiliang hadn’t had such strong willpower, she might have even received one of those letters!
She was just too handsome!
Therefore, seeing her competitive glint, Xia Weiliang quickly stopped her, “Sister Yuan, could you stay here and chat with Little Six for a bit~”
With that, she left without looking back, taking the others with her.
Song Yuan frowned, slightly displeased.
They were going to play, but they weren’t taking her.
Xiao Yu smiled, “Uh, Miss Song…”
“Just say what you want to say,” Song Yuan was also a decisive person, utterly fed up with indecisiveness.
“You went to such great lengths to get me out, what do you want?” Song Yuan glanced at him. “Don’t tell me it’s love at first sight or that you’re interested in me. I’m afraid I might not be able to control myself and want to hit you.”
She wasn’t stupid; she had figured it out the moment he walked in.
“……”
Xiao Yu was a little amused and helpless, “I didn’t expect you to be so direct…”
He paused slightly and said, “Alright, then I’ll be direct. Actually, I wanted to…”
