She had also asked Brother Chuanbai out before, but he never brought her here.
He even claimed it was to save time.
Gu Anrou grew more and more indignant. She wondered why he couldn't accompany her for a meal but was willing to be with Xu Qingqing.
"And, since when has she, Xu Qingqing, been qualified to enter Brother Chuanbai's company? I wanted to get in before, but you refused me."
Her questions made Lu Chuanbai recall that Gu Anrou really had wanted to join their company before. However, her educational background and relevant experience had already limited her.
Lu Chuanbai waited for her to finish before saying, "It's not what you think. It's not my company, but my cousin Lu Qi's company. You may not have heard of it. It specializes in cultural relic restoration."
Gu Anrou's eyes widened in disbelief. "Cultural relic restoration? Her?"
"Brother Chuanbai, don't be deceived by her..."
Just as Gu Anrou was about to say more, Lu Chuanbai gave an example directly. "Master Yang Huai has personally sent the precious antiques to us. Do you think this is not well - founded?"
"I knew you wouldn't believe it. Look, I've recorded all the relevant things."
Lu Chuanbai just waved his phone but had no intention of letting Gu Anrou check it.
Gu Anrou stiffened her neck, highly skeptical but completely helpless.
She dared not touch Brother Chuanbai's phone.
The people who had been around Gu Anrou gathered around. They stared at Lu Chuanbai and Xu Qingqing curiously.
"Anrou, who are these two? They're so good - looking. Are they single?"
The people following Gu Anrou were all young people, but judging from their clothes, they were of a lower social level than Gu Anrou.
Xu Qingqing guessed that Gu Anrou might have wanted to show off in front of her friends, so she brought them to the most famous Lanyi Pavilion for a meal.
Unfortunately, although Gu Anrou could afford the meal, she didn't have a membership card. So now she was stuck here, losing both face and dignity.
Lu Chuanbai also guessed the reason and decided to solve the problem for Gu Anrou. He took out his VIP card and asked the waiter, "If there's an empty room, arrange one for her. Charge all the meals to my card."
Seeing his noble card, the waiter's expression immediately changed.
Those who could own such a black - with - red card were not ordinary members.
They couldn't afford to offend this gentleman.
Xu Qingqing felt uncomfortable watching Lu Chuanbai's actions. She averted her eyes, as if this could ignore the discomfort in her heart.
Soon Gu Anrou's problem was solved. They got their own private room, and the money was still paid by Lu Chuanbai.
However, Lu Chuanbai's action seemed to boost Gu Anrou's confidence. After settling her friends, she even came to the private room where Lu Chuanbai was and openly tried to recruit him.
"Brother Chuanbai, thanks to you, we didn't lose face. Everyone wants you to go and have a look."
As she spoke, she looked shy and didn't forget to give Xu Qingqing a smug look, as if to say, see, Brother Chuanbai still cares about her the most.
Lu Chuanbai waved his hand. "No need. You guys gather."
Hearing Lu Chuanbai's words, instead of being frustrated, she walked directly over, grabbed Lu Chuanbai's arm and started to act coquettishly. "Brother Chuanbai, you're so kind. You must not be willing to see me lose face. You don't know, they're all waiting for me now."
"They're all my college classmates. Many of them are very talented. Brother Chuanbai, didn't you want to recruit people from colleges before? Maybe they can help you."
"Brother Chuanbai, just go and have a look."
The repeated "Brother Chuanbai" almost made Xu Qingqing sick.
Xu An'an immediately put down her chopsticks, rolled her eyes, and threw herself directly at Lu Chuanbai. Lu Chuanbai almost instinctively embraced the little girl.
Gu Anrou's face immediately darkened. "You little girl, can't you see that we adults are talking? Why are you so ignorant? How did your mother teach you?"
Although the words were aimed at Xu An'an, the spearhead was directly pointed at Xu Qingqing.
Xu An'an pouted. "Auntie, you're the one who has no manners. Can't you see that Uncle Lu doesn't want to go? Why are you still making things difficult for Uncle Lu?"
"Uncle Lu is good to me. I don't want to see Uncle Lu unhappy."
As she spoke, her little palm pinched Lu Chuanbai's face. "Uncle Lu, smile more."
Compared with Gu Anrou's semi - coercion, it was obvious that Lu Chuanbai preferred Xu An'an. He happily stroked the little girl's head, with a doting smile on his lips.
"Okay, I'll listen to An'an."
Gu Anrou was so angry that her body trembled.
She had been acting coquettishly here for a long time, and in front of so many people, Lu Chuanbai said he would listen to Xu An'an?
"Chuanbai, I'm not joking with you. You know me. I wouldn't invite useless people. They're really the talents you need."
This time, Gu Anrou's tone was serious. In fact, the people she invited were indeed geniuses in various departments. However... she didn't intend to select talents for the Lu family but for the Xu family.
Although it was a tough order from her father, meeting Lu Chuanbai today was fate. So she generously gave Lu Chuanbai a chance to select from these people.
But unfortunately, now Chuanbai was being pestered by this little girl and didn't even trust her.
Gu Anrou was really angry.
The atmosphere became a bit tense. It was Xu Qingqing who spoke up at this time. "Okay, An'an, stop making trouble. Let Uncle Lu do his business. Since Miss Gu said they're talents, Uncle Lu should go and meet them."
Hearing this, Gu Anrou was unhappy. "Xu Qingqing, what do you mean? Do you think I'm lying? If you're not convinced, come with us and have a look. Any one of them is more capable than you."
Seeing that Gu Anrou dared to look down on their mother, Xu Yiyi immediately stood up with a straight face. "Get out. You're not allowed to say bad things about my mother."
Gu Anrou was so angry that she laughed. "You little kid is ordering me around?"
Lu Chuanbai's face also darkened a bit. "Anrou, how old are you? Why are you arguing with two kids?"
"I'm still a kid too. You've always doted on me like a child. I don't care. You must go today anyway."
Gu Anrou simply threw a tantrum, as if to say, if you don't go, you won't be able to have your meal.
Lu Qi had already looked cold. He didn't like it when Chuanbai got close to this girl before. He always thought this girl was simple - minded, not physically strong, and was willful with a princess complex.
Now that he had really witnessed it, he even wanted to avoid her in the future.
At the same time, he prayed in his heart that Chuanbai must not really want to marry such a difficult person.
