Love? The Reborn Me Just Wants to Obtain Rewards-Chapter 553 - 242 Face Competition and Cursing One’s Mother_3
Chapter 553: Chapter 242 Face Competition and Cursing One’s Mother_3
Poor Senior Sister Yan, with such long legs, didn’t even play the role of a handyman for two hours...
And today’s Chen was especially crafty, no telling where she learned it from.
"You’re actually a high executive at Xingyu? Well done, you! In front of so many people, you said I couldn’t be an internet celebrity, gave a bunch of reasons—I don’t care about that, but it just means you never considered me a friend!"
How did this come back to bite him?
Su Huai had no idea, but he knew women always find a way to dredge up past grievances.
Gou Huai, in an effort to steady her, had no choice but to propose a trade: "Accompany me for a set of that thing, and I’ll bring you into the company and personally mentor you!"
Bang, bang, bang!
At the end of the meal, the two hadn’t discussed anything substantial, no agreement, no unspoken understanding, no genuine resolution of past conflicts.
A favorability rating of 90+ doesn’t mean there are no thorns, on the contrary, Su Huai felt that the closer he got to her, the farther it seemed—he was kind of back to the status quo of his past life.
The good thing about this life is that she wouldn’t react much if he stealthily pecked her on the lips, and if she was in a good mood, she might even stick her tongue out in return.
The bad thing compared to his past life is that she had completely sealed off a certain part of her heart, neither to be seen nor touched.
So Gou Huai was still left guessing, unclear about what she really wanted.
Forget it. Let’s just give each other some space for now!
It’s good to have options, always smooth to switch, but although he was actually thinking about Gu’s imminent return to school, he said, "The next few days are going to be super busy at work. Zhang Dayi is coming, and Pei is prepping for the annual meeting... you..."
Gou Huai trailed off, wearing a reluctant expression that would make Huang Bo cry out ’Best Actor’.
Chen Nuanhan was secretly pleased, coaxing gently, "What’s up? Do you want me to keep you company a bit longer?"
Keeping you company is out of the question, go find Big Sister Yu; I’m not your backup option.
Chen Nuanhan had her response all planned out. If Su Huai asked her for anything, no matter what tricks or reasons he used, she was ready to immediately turn him down and mock him!
It was a good plan, but the result...
Su Huai suddenly turned stern, throwing out: "Go ahead without worries. If something comes up, we’ll communicate by carrier pigeon. If not, don’t interfere with my pursuit of Senior Yu, that’s all."
"Tch!"
Chen Nuanhan scoffed and walked away.
No anger, no fire, no scolding back—just opened her arms wide, embraced the night breeze, and vanished at the entrance of the women’s dorm.
Hey, what’s up, she’s not even provoked by this?
Su Huai was truly at a loss and could only sigh.
But as his sigh was carried away by the wind, Gou Huai immediately regained the vitality of a Wolf King—who cares about minor setbacks when I have treasures to play with?
Time to go home and see whose identity card to reveal today!
Su Huai swaggered with false bravado, slipping past the women’s dorm to his room through the side door of the men’s dorm.
Chu Changkuo wasn’t there; he was off-campus fussing about renting a place.
Sao Ji was also missing. After Su Huai inquired, Yu Yangyang replied, "Sao Ji plans to be an assistant for Brother Kuo; he’s busy helping him with that... Bro, do you think it’s reliable?"
"Having the chance to train and earn money is definitely a good thing,"
Su Huai affirmed, then mildly changed his tone: "As for what happens next... there’s no point in guessing whether they’ll end well or not."
Yu Yangyang looked pensive—as if saying, doesn’t that mean you don’t think it’ll end well?
Immediately after, he asked, "What about me and Yu then?"
"Given your current state..."
Su Huai patted the broad shoulder of Warm Man and sighed, "No matter who she ends up marrying, if she doesn’t treat you like family and give you a big red envelope, that would be heartless!"
Yu Yangyang’s mood instantly brightened, and he smiled from ear to ear.
"That’s great, that’s great... Oh right, Huai, you went viral on the campus forum again today. I’ve deleted all the excessive comments. Now it’s mostly just vague long shots..."
"When you’re on the job, I can rest easy."
Su Huai decided to promote Yu Yangyang and give him a pay raise. Being Yuji’s agent directly was too taxing, but as a second assistant responsible for all online communication, he scored 60 for competence and 99 for trustworthiness.
Having made his decision, Su Huai didn’t mention it directly to him; he merely walked over to Er Gao and Gao’s place, and then went to sleep.
Yan Mengqing probably couldn’t sleep, and Chen Nuanhan likely didn’t fall asleep either.
Uh, who are they?
Gou Huai acted as if he truly had no heart, fiddled with the live streaming platform for a bit, donated some spare change, and then Huhu Dasleep.
His plan for the next day was simple—
If Gu is coming to school, he’ll accompany her;
If Gu isn’t coming, he’ll go to work;
No autographs, no photo ops, no need for a girlfriend, no WeChat adding, focused on his career, using the last three months of the year to lay a solid foundation, waiting for his moment of glory.
Gu surely wouldn’t care, Chen probably wouldn’t care either, but Gu Tongshu definitely would.
Su Huai knew all too well from which angle Xingyu’s grand ambitions must be realized.
So, this battle, outwardly called flirting with Gu to control the princes through the emperor, was truly about... enduring the old man.
Come on, bring on the challenge!
While Su Huai was full of cocky anticipation, Gu Tongshu, who just received the new information, was furiously cursing...
