Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets!-Chapter 265 - 197. What about behind?

"Oh? Tell me more."

Lu Jincheng spoke with curiosity.

"Don’t just see the White Horse Cup as a debate competition. Recently, ’Strange Talk’ is especially popular among young people. Many businesses in Nanhu District are interested in endorsements. It’s a great opportunity to promote in the territory of the three schools."

"If you’re interested, you’d better move quickly, or someone else might beat you to it. As far as I know, more than one group has already contacted Principal Cong."

Guo Minjie crossed her arms, tracing enticing curves along her forearms.

"Principal Cong Han is in charge of this?"

"Yes, he handles financing. He doesn’t worry about the competition itself, but he decides who sponsors choose."

The counselor nodded.

"Well, that’s easy then. I’ll ask Boss Xue from Meiyi Labor Services for help—he’s Principal Cong’s nephew, isn’t he?"

Lu Jincheng tilted his head back, squeezing the yogurt carton flat, and downed it in one gulp, his tone full of confidence.

"Ah? You... have that kind of connection?"

Min Jie blinked, her small mouth half-open, unable to hide her surprise.

"It’s nothing. Our company’s building cleaning is outsourced to Meiyi Labor Services at a premium price, Boss Xue will definitely give me this favor."

Guo Minjie couldn’t help but size him up and down.

"Do your family usually teach you these things?"

"Of course not, my parents are typical old-fashioned Chinese parents, they only nag a bit about studying."

"So, did you already know that the boss of Meiyi is Principal Cong’s relative?"

"Why would I know that? Of course, I found out after registering the company."

Lu Jincheng shrugged his shoulders.

"You... I really don’t know how your brain works. At such a young age, you understand all these intricate maneuvers, as if you were naturally adept."

Guo Minjie outwardly remained elegant and calm, passing it off with a smile, but inwardly she couldn’t help but marvel in secret.

Apart from his ID, files, and appearance, there was nothing about him that resembled an eighteen-year-old.

Ever since her high school days, Guo Minjie, who had never left the ivory tower, had only begun to taste the undercurrents of interests, power, and project dealings beneath the seemingly peaceful school environment after stepping into the workforce for a while.

Yet, as an outsider, he seemed to have an innate sense, making advance arrangements, pulling strings, avoiding risks.

He actually knew.

Could there really be such a thing as innate knowledge?

"Principal Cong is from Shanxi, he enjoys drinking."

Guo Minjie fetched a cup, filled it with warm water, and handed it to Lu Jincheng, the rim flashing with the warm overlaid reflections of the lights.

"Got it, so I’ll bring a couple of bottles of Fen liquor with blue and white porcelain labels when the time comes."

"Your next step should be aiming for beneficial policies concerning the co-creation spaces, right? His vote in the Party committee is crucial, so it is important to maintain a good relationship with him."

"Right, for the technology business incubator recognition and co-creation space policies, I’ll have to apply through the school’s channels."

"The planning is indeed clear, but there are a few details I need to remind you about, like..."

The counselor had just showered, her hair simply dried and let loose, and her homely pajamas made her look entirely relaxed.

Lu Jincheng had given her a heads-up before coming.

So her casual attire also somewhat revealed the small secrets deep inside Guo Minjie’s heart.

In front of Lu Jincheng, at least in her own home, she didn’t quite want to play the role of "teacher," which made her feel uncomfortable.

Although when they really started talking, she and Lu Jincheng still discussed those things, those people, those career calculations, the pros and cons, with the encouraging tone of someone experienced yet containing strategic undercurrents.

But she had noticed.

Her tone today was a bit unusual, her voice a bit softer, her posture somewhat languid.

The reason was simple.

Without realizing it, she had come to completely regard Lu Jincheng as her peer, as a real man.

Right, a real man.

A little boy wouldn’t look at her with such a fervent gaze.

On this point, Guo Minjie was crystal clear.

"That’s about it, just pay attention when you apply."

She smiled, her speech carrying a slight curve, her graceful, stout shoulders shifting occasionally to find a more comfortable position against the couch.

"Mmm, I got it."

Lu Jincheng nodded, finished the warm water in his cup, stood up, and sat down next to her.

"Just finished with business, and you’re already snuggling up to me?"

Guo Minjie teased with a smile, her neck moving lithely as her silky hair fluttered with the motion, her beauty all the more enchanting and bewitching as she closed in, her body’s scent of shower gel faintly discernible.

"Of course, this is business too."

Lu Jincheng wrapped his arm around the instructor’s shoulder, his right arm tensing, feeling the plush elasticity of her body.

"Knew I was coming over and decided to wash up and wait for me?"

He turned his head, inhaling deeply in the midst of her hair, his gaze following the edge of her floral nightgown.

The counselor had even carelessly undone the topmost button, revealing a swanlike slender neck, captivating collarbones, the smooth, delicate veins of her skin—all caught in his gaze.

Lowering his eyes, he saw the deep valley at the neck of her nightgown, like a crevice carved in creamy white jade.

In the night, everything appeared as sensual and beautiful as a sculpture of Venus.

But even these shapes that could drive a man mad could not monopolize every dazzling focus on her.

The slightly upturned sleeve of the nightgown revealed a stretch of alabaster wrist, her delicate fingers propping her cheek, nails glistening, reflecting the warm light.

She looked at Lu Jincheng, lips pursed.

"You’re overthinking it, just a casual, routine wash."

Guo Minjie smiled faintly.

Then, she parted her cherry lips, turned her head close to Lu Jincheng, and exhaled fragrance like an orchid.

"After all, I still have to shower later, so why rush?"

The response to her words was the strong embrace of the man, who lifted Guo Minjie up on the spot.

"Hey, hey, hey! Slow down, will you!"

...

In the bedroom, a wild and primal image unfolded, filled with an indescribable hormonal atmosphere.

The delicate floral nightgown lay discarded on the tiled floor, beneath it a body snowy and plump, crystal-clear with curves in just the right places, facing the dim night through the window, her knees slightly parted, kneeling on the pale pink sheets.

"Ah..."

"Wait a second..."

"I..."

Stray hairs flew in disarray around her ear, two snowy arms gently pulled back, her upper body arching forward slightly as Guo Minjie’s starry eyes shut tight, with a flush on her jaw, emitting soft, inexplicable sounds.

Was it pleasure or pain?

"Waiting for whom?"

The man’s lips curled up, his hand gripping a plethora of silky strands, teasingly pulling in rhythm.

His eyes squinted as he remembered a classic scenario, unable to resist taunting her.

"I what? Where’s my husband?"

"Your husband is right behind you!"
