Chapter 176: Meeting the Mysterious Artist

In fact, he just wanted to see Lu Xue more often and talk to her more.

Previously downstairs, there were too many people in the room. It was noisy and crowded with outsiders. He didn't even have a chance to say a few private words with Lu Xue.

But by the time everyone had left, Lu Xue had already gone back to her room to rest.

Mu Yuze let out a sigh. It seemed he could only find another chance tomorrow.

The next day, Lu Xue got up and was having breakfast downstairs when Mu Yuze also opened his door.

Standing on the corridor, he saw Lu Xue sitting at the dining table downstairs from afar, and a smile curled up on his lips.

Just as he was about to go downstairs, Yan Hua's call came in.

Yan Hua rambled on the other end: "Boss, don't you dare forget the meeting this morning! We've already broken the appointment last time. We definitely can't do it again this time!"

Mu Yuze let out a soft laugh and said, "You've been nagging me since last night. This is already the seventeenth time."

Yan Hua said, "If you weren't so unreliable before, I wouldn't have to keep nagging you! Anyway, I'll call you every twenty minutes from now on until you show up in front of me this morning."

Mu Yuze hung up the phone helplessly, walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair and sat opposite Lu Xue.

He sized up Lu Xue's slightly formal outfit today and asked, "Are you going out today?"

Lu Xue looked up and nodded. "Yeah, I'm going out to meet some people."

Mu Yuze really wanted to ask Lu Xue who she was going to meet today, but since Lu Xue didn't say much, he didn't feel it was appropriate to ask too many questions.

However, there was still a hint of sourness in his heart.

Today Lu Xue had put on makeup and was wearing a very delicate long dress. Even the ends of her hair seemed to be slightly curled. She looked like a sophisticated lady walking out of an office building.

Who on earth was she going to meet that she had to dress up so nicely? The more Mu Yuze thought about it, the more sour he felt.

When he saw Lu Xue pick up her bag and go out, he even had the urge to follow her to find out.

But just then, Yan Hua's call came in on time, urging him to hurry to the company.

"Boss, there's only an hour left until our morning meeting. This meeting will still only last for fifteen minutes. You must hurry up and definitely can't be late. Come to the company right now!"

Mu Yuze hung up the phone. He knew this trip was very important for the company's development, so he let out a breath and forced himself to suppress the urge to follow Lu Xue.

He drove to the company and checked the materials that needed to be shown to the other party for this morning's meeting with Yan Hua.

Yan Hua said, "Don't worry. I've checked the PPT and several reports countless times. They're all the most concise ones, ensuring that the other party can understand our company's strength in the shortest time possible!"

"That's good. Where did the other party set the meeting?"

Yan Hua replied, "At a club. If we leave now, we'll probably arrive there twenty minutes early."

Mu Yuze nodded, and then they set off. Two other staff members were also going with them.

When Han Xiaolv saw Lu Xue, her eyes lit up and she immediately complimented her, "You're dressed so nicely. You really match the temperament of a great artist I imagined!"

Lu Xue looked at her outfit today uncertainly. "Is this outfit okay?"

Han Xiaolv nodded emphatically. "Of course it is! Confident! Good-looking! Elegant! You also look very talented and connotative! I was even afraid that you'd show up wearing that shabby big T-shirt and slippers you usually wear when you see me. That would be so unseemly!"

As she said that, Han Xiaolv took out a gift box from behind her. "I was afraid you'd dress too casually, so I secretly prepared a formal evening dress for you. Now it seems I don't need it."

Lu Xue smiled helplessly. She didn't know what kind of prejudice Han Xiaolv had against her.

"I'm just a bit slovenly when I'm with you. But when I'm going to meet real business partners, I can still tell what's important, okay?"

Han Xiaolv quickly nodded. "Yes, yes. You're the most beautiful!"

Then she tidied up Lu Xue's hair to make sure every strand of hair exuded a sense of sophistication. Only then did she pull Lu Xue into the car and drive to the private club they had agreed on.

...

Inside the private club, Mu Yuze and the accompanying staff had been waiting for a long time.

Yan Hua repeatedly checked the materials needed for this meeting to make sure there were no mistakes in every link.

The other two staff members craned their necks and looked outside, gossiping with each other occasionally.

"Guess how tall this LU who's coming this time is? Is he fat or thin? Does he have a tough crew cut or the long, messy hair of a bohemian artist?"

The other one shook his head. "Not sure. Up until now, no photos or videos of him have ever captured his real appearance. I guess there are very few people who have actually seen him in real life. We're really lucky to be able to meet him in person today."
