Holding Onto My Man

CHAPTER 6: REBIRTH OF A CANNON FODDER

Nan Lichen’s appearance set off a burst of heat at school in just a few days.

In Lu Rongqing’s noble private school, not only are teachers required to be good in teaching, even appearance also have requirements. The number of handsome and beautiful teachers aren’t few, but not many can compare with Nan Lichen.

He has wide shoulders, narrow waist and slender limbs. A well proportioned body. Not only does he look good, his body is also excellent. Any clothes worn by him becomes exceptionally beautiful.

Even a simple T-shirt and casual pants can also vaguely outline the curve of his body, smooth and full of power, gentle but not thin, handsome and unbeatable. Truly a male god.

As long as he’s the one in class, no one will ever skip class, and in the classroom, there are many other classmates who have skipped classes to mix in. After class, everyone is looking for an opportunity to talk to him.

However, he never gave anyone special treatments, even Gu Bai is the same.

Gu Bai naturally knew that this was his trick. A playboy never needs to rush during a hunt He was waiting for the best opportunity to get close to him....

Very quickly, after school, he received a phone call from Fu Zixuan. Although the other party invited him to eat a meal, his tone was extremely cold.

According to Fu Zixuan’s character,he won’t take the initiative to invite him to eat for no reason. Therefore, this meal certainly has a problem.

Gu Bai excitedly nodded and promised on the phone, then he smiled carefreely. He wants to see what the hell these people are doing!

Before he went, he gave a call to Nie Qingcang. In order to reverse the bad impression of the original host in Nie Qingcang’s mind, he obediently went home on time every day, to express loyalty and hold the thigh.

Although Nie Qingcang’s attitude towards him is still somewhat fierce, but his eyes aren’t so loathing anymore. During dinner, he would take the initiative to chat a little with him. He also found time to send and pick him up from school. So as a good and obedient little brother, he must report if he doesn’t go home on time.

Nie Qingcang was in a meeting when he received a phone call from Gu Bai, his mood wasn’t very good, the employees he handed matters over to didn’t do a good job of meeting his standards, the whole meeting room was cold.

When he heard the phone ringing, he was in the middle of lecturing his employees and frowned. The secretary immediately understood and quickly went outside to help him answer.

When Nie Qingzhen is in a bad mood, he will not answer anyone’s calls. Moreover, important business calls are usually made on his mobile phone first to make an appointment.

After hearing Gu Bai’s report from the phone, the secretary walked in and faced Nie Qingcang’s questioning eyes, promptly confessed. “Nie zong*, your younger brother said that he doesn’t need you to pick him up after school...”

*Chief/head/chairman/director

“Next time he calls, just directly give it to me...”

When he heared that it was Gu Bai, Nie Qingcang’s furrowed brows relaxed and his mood was a bit better. Recently, Gu Bai’s obedience and closeness made him very appropriate. He has already changed 360 degrees.

In the past he ignored the teen too much, he actually isn’t as gloomy and unpleasant as he thought. He was only taciturn with the willfulness of a child. After getting a long more, the teen is actually very good. He’s obedient and lovable, and a little brother relying on him feels quite good.

Signaled everyone to wait a moment, he took the phone and dialed back.

After the call connected, a smile appeared on his face, with a gentle temperament asked, “Rongqing, what is it?”

The gentle and welcoming expression made all the employees in the meeting room startled. They didn’t saw wrongly did they, he’s face has always been serious. The stern Nie zhong will actually show this kind of expression!?

Currently, Gu Bai, who was on the phone, was also somewhat astonished when he received a call from Nie Qingcang. The secretary answered the call just now, that means this man should be very busy right now.

He’s only reporting, there’s no need to call him back again to question him. Looks like in the future he still needs to work hard to improve his impression, golden thigh still doesn’t trust him. He was definitely worried that he would go out and fool around again.

With this thought, Gu Bai quickly explained in the phone call.

“Brother, today a friend invited me to go have a meal, Don’t worry, I’ll be back right after the meal and I’ll be sure to get home before 8 o’clock. Did I disturbed you just now?”

“No, just simply explaining some work matters, it’s nothing important....”.

When the words came out, the eyes of every employee in the meeting room got bigger. Nothing important? Just now weren’t we discussing that a problem appeared in the several hundred million yuan large-scale project, big boss!

Nie Zeng, who was being scorned by everyone, didn’t even bother to give any of them a look. He continued asking on the phone, “Eating with a friend? Which friend?”

“It’s a classmate, you don’t know...”

After Gu Bai ambiguously answered him, he repeatedly assured him that he will go home early in the afternoon, then hung up the call. He dared not directly tell Nie Qingcang that it’s Fu Zixuan he’s eating with.

Nie Qingcang already severely warned him before, if he found out that he’s still in contact with Fu Zixuan, he will definitely assume that he hasn’t given up and is still shamelessly pestering people. The reversed impression from before will be all over!

Nie Qincang, who was just hung up on and also received the news that he’s unable to go home together with his little brother today, the smile on his face immediately faded.

He secretly thought in his heart, he really doesn’t pay enough attention to Lu Rongqing, he doesn’t even know what friends he has, really not a competent older brother.

However, when he thought of Lu Rongqing’s previous affairs, he frowned again. Friends? What good friends did Rongqing previously have? It’s just a pack of rogues.

With this thought in mind, Nie Qingcang immediately became alert, closed the file on the table, stood up and ordered:

“Today’s meeting ends here, I hope to see a concrete implementation plan on my desk by Wednesday morning. That’s it, dismissed....Secretary Chen, help me cancel all of my afternoon appointments, I have other matters.”

After that, Nie Qingcang hurriedly left the meeting room, leaving behind a group of managers who were resentful and mourning over doing overtime during the weekend.

************

On the other side, Gu Bai also arrived at the restaurant arranged by Fu Zixuan.

From the time he received Fu Zixuan’s call, he kept thinking about what his motives were to invite him out.

According to Fu Zixuan’s despise of the original host’s character, he will never easily take the initiative to find the original host. The original storyline also didn’t have this paragraph.

Therefore, it is not difficult to guess that Fu Zixuan’s appearance today is instigated by someone. This instigator, there’s no one other than Wu Zhenzhen.

Why did Wu Zhenzhen instigate Fu Zixuan to ask him out? Is it to give him, the rival, an opportunity?

Turning his thoughts in his heart, Gu Bai handled Fu Zixuan indifferently and secretly looked around the restaurant to examine it.

Finally he saw Nan Lichen’s figure at the corner and suddenly understood.

Wu Zhenzhen is giving her competent subordinate the chance to catch him off guard*.

*乘虚而入 advance when the enemy’s defenses are weak; act when one’s opponent is off guard; exploit a weak point

Although in the original storyline Fu Zixuan didn’t invite him out, but in the original story, Fu Zixuan already rejected the original host, making him lovelorn and sad. Nan Lichen entered the ordinary host’s heart at this time.

Even if it was repeated again, Wu Zhenzhen still chose the same method as in the storyline.

Since this is the case, his plan to beat her at her own game will be even better to implement.

Gu Bai took in everything and smiled lightly in his heart.

Since they want to act, in order to look more like it, during the course of this meal, no matter how cold Fu Zixuan’s face is or how blunt his words are, Gu Bai will cooperate by revealing infatuated and sad little eyes. Act out this teen’s heart break to the extreme.

Gu Bai acted very happily, didn’t notice the man who just arrived at the doorway and saw this scene, angered to the point the top of his head is about to emit smoke.

Really didn’t change! Lu Rongqing who loves to play and find trouble, can become quiet and obedient, there must be a ghost. He must be deluded to think that he really reformed.

Nie Qingcang gritted his teeth and bitterly thought, what eating out with a friend. Well, turns out it’s to go meet a rogue!
