Luosan was surprised, the Chairwoman of Zhong Zhou Group Corporations would be Nian Junting’s grandma. She wondered if Murong Cheng would be there as well.
“Will the CEO of Zhong Zhou Group Corporations be there as well?”
“My auntie? She’s quite the busy bee, I heard she’s on a business trip in the States, she won’t be able to attend the party. She’ll send a gift though,” Chuen boasted.
“You’re amazing, Chuen, you’re talking about the Zhong Zhou Group Corporations. That company is top three hundred worldwide, even an ordinary clerk in that company earns 10,000 dollars every month. Every fresh graduate is dying to work there. Hmm, Mr. Nian we met earlier on will be the heir of the company?” Tang Ning said enviously.
“Yeah, my auntie only has one son, her daughter doesn’t care for corporate business.”
“Amazing, that was the first time I ever met such a rich and handsome heir, whoever who marries him will be a lucky girl,” Tang Ning glanced at Luosan.
“Luoluo, I saw him talking to you that day. Given your looks, you might stand a chance if you try to get closer to him.”
“Don’t imagine things,” Ye Chuen chuckled lightly, “Junting brother has an evil mouth, he speaks vile things. No ordinary woman can handle him.”
Luosan had to agree with her wholeheartedly.
“Another thing… they are a reputable and powerful family, you think it would be so easy to marry into that family? They would want a matched marriage, this isn’t a television drama series.”
Ye Chuen cautioned Luosan, “Luoluo, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that you’re not good enough for the family. Given how pretty you are, you won’t have any trouble landing yourself a rich, good-looking man. I’m talking about men who are akin to Mount Tai and Mount Hua, Junting brother is akin to Mount Everest.”
“I know, I won’t take offense,” Luosan smiled casually, Yan Su was looking at her too.
“That’s good, I just don’t want you to be hurt,” Ye Chuen remarked, “Oh right, I prepared evening gowns for all of you! They will be delivered tomorrow before lunch, remember to wear them at my birthday party!”
“Aw, that’s so sweet, Chuen. We really don’t have any formal gowns for the occasion,” Tang Ning chirped happily and hugged Chuen tightly.
“I’m counting on you to be my emcee, Luosan,” Chuen said as she prepared to shower.
Luosan picked up the hot water bottle and headed down, Yan Su picked hers up and followed behind her.
“Hey, you alright?”
“Huh?”
“What Chuen said earlier…”
“You know that I considered all those things before I started dating him. We only just started seeing each other, I’m just going to enjoy what we have now, I’ll worry about the rest later. Should I really decide to marry him and spend the rest of my life with him, I am willing to give Mount Everest a shot if he gives me his word.”
Luosan looked at her and continued, “How about you? Why didn’t you tell me that Chuen was the lead in the musical? That wasn’t nice of her; you guys are both in the same faculty after all. If you told me about it, I wouldn’t have agreed to host her birthday party.”
“Sometimes, it’s not that she is trying to overshadow me on purpose. The professors know who she is, they offered her the role without her asking. She’s going to release an album soon too. If I get scouted now, we’ll both release our albums at the same time, competing for sales. People would naturally compare us against one another, things might get much uglier then. I’m just glad I have you to look out for me.”
