Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 31 New Company Interview

After settling Lu Zhiyan in, Nanxu went downstairs to cook a hangover soup. It was the weekend, and the servants were all away.

She didn't know how to make hangover soup either, so she ended up searching for a tutorial online.

She couldn't do the difficult ones, so she just found the easy ones.

Honey water can also help with hangovers. She searched the refrigerator for a while before finally finding honey and lemon.

A few minutes later, Nanxu brought the honey water upstairs.

Lu Zhiyan was no longer in bed.

Nan Xu placed the honey water on the table; she had no idea where Lu Zhiyan had gone.

But she knew she had to hurry up and get Lu Zhiyan to finish the honey water and take a shower.

Hearing the sound of water coming from the bathroom, Nan Xu thought it would be good for Lu Zhiyan to take a shower first. She turned around and prepared to leave the bathroom.

Half an hour later, Lu Zhiyan, wearing a bath towel, came out first.

Lu Zhiyan sat on the bed with his legs crossed, and on the bedside table was the honey water he had just finished drinking.

"Thank you for the honey water," Lu Zhiyan said with a smile.

He watched Nanxu sitting at the vanity applying skincare products.

Nan Xu felt Lu Zhiyan's burning gaze, but she couldn't be bothered to give him even a superfluous glance.

She, who knew nothing about cooking, went downstairs and followed the tutorial step by step to make him honey water.

All I got in return was a perfunctory thank you.

Nan Xu walked step by step to the bedside, ignoring Lu Zhiyan's burning gaze.

Nanxu gracefully got into bed, pulled the covers over herself, and turned off the lights in one smooth motion.

In contrast, Lu Zhiyan just stared at Nan Xu.

Lu Zhiyan shook his head helplessly, lay down, placed his hand on Nan Xu's stomach, and tried to pull Nan Xu into his arms.

Nan Xu quickly slapped away Lu Zhiyan's hand that was on her stomach.

Lu Zhiyan was taken aback, but still kept it firmly on the table.

Nan Xu took two more shots, but Lu Zhiyan showed no sign of giving up.

Nan Xu turned around and met Lu Zhiyan's gaze. "Let go!"

Looking at Nan Xu's adorable, wide-eyed glare.

Lu Zhiyan kissed Nanxu's forehead. "Don't be angry. I was wrong, okay?"

Nan Xu didn't say a word.

Lu Zhiyan couldn't stand Nan Xu's silence anymore. "Baby~, I was wrong, please forgive me, okay?"

Nan Xu was somewhat moved by Lu Zhiyan calling her "baby".

She blushed slightly. "Alright then, but there can't be a next time."

Lu Zhiyan nodded. "Thank you, baby."

"Didn't you go back to the old house today? Why did you drink so much?" Nan Xu asked, puzzled, in Lu Zhiyan's arms.

Lu Zhiyan held Nan Xu's hand and said, "Yes, I told my grandparents about you, and they were very happy. They even opened a bottle of their treasured liquor at the dinner table."

Nan Xu was somewhat shocked. Lu Zhiyan said this morning that he was going home to deal with his father's affairs, so how did she get involved?
"Didn't you say you were going back to deal with your uncle's matter? How did it go?"

At this point, Lu Zhiyan said with a light sneer, "My dad found me a stepmother, who is five years older than me."

Five years older? That makes him thirty-two.
Nan Xu chuckled, "She could be your older sister, and you'd have to call her Mom?"

"So I went back today and broke them up," Lu Zhiyan said casually.

It was as if his 32-year-old stepmother wasn't even his.

"They broke them up? How did they do that?" Nan Xu's eyes lit up instantly.

She had never witnessed a scene where the son of the first wife fought with his 32-year-old stepmother.

But she had to hear all this gossip about wealthy families, no matter what.

He looked at the girl in his arms with a gossipy glint in his eyes.

Lu Zhiyan wanted to tease Nan Xu, so he said, "Then give me a kiss."

Nan Xu's smiling face instantly lost its smile. But for the sake of gossip, she still kissed Lu Zhiyan's cheek.

Lu Zhiyan raised an eyebrow. He was only this well-behaved when they first met.

Seeing that Lu Zhiyan remained silent, Nan Xu nudged his arm. "Speak up, why aren't you saying anything?"

"My dad's mistress didn't go, only my dad went, and my grandparents got angry. And that was the end of it."

Lu Zhiyan summed it up in one sentence.

Nan Xu's face was filled with speechlessness.

Go to sleep. I wonder what she's hoping for?

Nan Xu turned her back to Lu Zhiyan.

Lu Zhiyan looked at Nan Xu's back; he was right.

"A-Ning, don't turn your back to me."

Nan Xu seemed not to hear him at all, not making a sound.

Lu Zhiyan didn't say much; he had to go to work the next morning.

Nan Xu was also tired and didn't pay attention to Lu Zhiyan.

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the first layer of the illusionary gauze.

Nan Xu woke up, stared at the ceiling for a while, and then slowly got up.

The warmth beside her had long since dissipated.

Nanxu threw back the covers and went to wash up.

Today, she's going with Lin Zhengyu to the company for interviews for management positions, agents, and operations team members...

They only posted job openings on the day they registered their company. In the morning, they interviewed managers and agents, and in the afternoon, they interviewed operations team members and public relations staff.

Nan Xu took out a white shirt and a gray pencil skirt from the dressing room. Her black curly hair was pulled up into a bun.

She wore light makeup and minimal jewelry, giving off a sophisticated and capable first impression.

After tidying up, Nanxu hurriedly went downstairs, ate some milk and cereal, and then drove to the company.

The company is located in the city center, and it was registered too early; we haven't had time to prepare a new building for the company yet.

The company I'm currently renting from has only been leased for one year.

Lin Jingshu said she would give them a new building at the beginning of next year.

Nan Xu arrived at the company right on time; Lin Zhengyu had just arrived at the underground parking garage when she arrived.

Lin Zhengyu, dressed in a black suit, got out of the car with a nonchalant yawn. He had been busy these past few days, socializing and acquiring resources.

Nan Xu dealt with producers, directors, and artists, while he negotiated with investors.

Lin Zhengyu, holding an iced Americano, took the elevator upstairs.

Nanxu sat in the interview room, flipping through the interview materials on the table.

"Mr. Nan, this is the interview list and materials for this afternoon. The people outside are all ready. Shall we begin the interviews now?" Assistant Linda handed the materials to Nan Xu.

Linda was the assistant that Ling Shu introduced to Nan Xu.

Nan Xu asked, "Hmm, has President Lin arrived?"

Lin Zhengyu leaned against the glass door and knocked on it with his sunglasses. "I'm here."

"Come and sit down quickly, the interview is about to start," Nanxu urged. "Linda, have the people outside check the number before you come in."

Linda was the assistant that Ling Shu introduced to Nan Xu.

Linda nodded and left.

Lin Zhengyu sat down next to Nan Xu and said, "I've been running myself ragged these past two days."

"Okay, sit down quickly, they'll be coming in soon," Nan Xu replied perfunctorily.

It's currently stuck, so please bear with the current version. The full version should be released tomorrow.

I'll reiterate countless times, I really didn't SH.
