Chapter 557 Cao Wenxin Is Envious
“I won’t drink. Let me drive the car, but I think your ORV[1] is enough. The Lamborghini is too noticeable,” Gu Ning said. She had experienced the feeling of being the focus of people’s attention during the day. And although it wasn’t bad, she still preferred to keep a low-profile.
“Fine.” Cao Wenxin agreed then gave the car key of her Land Rover to Gu Ning.
“Can I bring a friend with me?” Gu Ning asked. Her friend was Leng Shaoting. The reason why Gu Ning agreed to have some fun with Cao Wenxin was because she could call Leng Shaoting to go out with her too. Gu Ning didn’t bother to hide the fact that Leng Shaoting was in City B from Cao Wenxin.
“Who is it? A man or woman?” Cao Wenxin asked or gossiped.
“A man,” Gu Ning said.
“No way, is he Pan Zirui?” Cao Wenxin asked because Pan Zirui had invited Gu Ning to meet earlier.
“No, it’s Shaoting,” Gu Ning said.
“What?” Cao Wenxin was surprised. “Shaoting is in City B?”
For some reason, Cao Wenxin thought of Xin Bei at this moment. She was curious whether Xin Bei came to City B along with Leng Shaoting. However, she despised herself for thinking of Xin Bei the next second.
“Yes, he’s on vacation now, so he came to City B to meet me,” Gu Ning said.
“Oh, did you go to meet him this afternoon?” Cao Wenxin asked.
“Yes, but we went out for business. My jewelry store in City B is going to open soon, so we went to check the gowns. Oh, I need to find an appropriate garment company and factory too,” Gu Ning said.
“You can let Uncle Quan do that for you. It’s a piece of cake for him,” Cao Wenxin said.
“Shaoting will handle it,” Gu Ning said.
“Fine. I’m envious of you because you have such an outstanding boyfriend!” Cao Wenxin said.
Gu Ning smiled. “You can find one too! I know you have many admirers.”
“I don’t like them,” Cao Wenxin sighed. She always wanted to date someone she liked but couldn’t find one.
Gu Ning didn’t say anything further, but called Leng Shaoting.
Leng Shaoting was very happy to receive Gu Ning’s call. Even if he could only hear her voice, he felt satisfied.
“Ningning!” Leng Shaoting called her name with excitement.
“Are you free now?” Gu Ning asked.
Hearing that, Leng Shaoting was cheered up at once. “Of course!”
Gu Ning was amused by Leng Shaoting’s reaction. “Wait for me at the door of the hotel. I’ll pick you up soon. We’re going to hang out with Wenxin tonight.”
“Sure,” Leng Shaoting said. Although he couldn’t kiss Gu Ning if Cao Wenxin was there, it was much better than staying at the hotel by himself.
Maybe because of Cao Wenxin, Gu Ning called him to have fun together. Thinking of that, Leng Shaoting didn’t have complaints towards Cao Wenxin.
After hanging up the call with Gu Ning, Leng Shaoting adjusted himself before he went downstairs. He had waited for almost 10 minutes when Gu Ning finally arrived. Although he was a little impatient, he didn’t complain about it but enjoyed it.
Gu Ning stopped the car at the door of the hotel and Leng Shaoting walked over to them. “Let me be the driver!” he said. Since he was here, he was willing to do the job for Gu Ning.
After that, before Gu Ning had even said a word, Cao Wenxin got out of the front passenger’s seat, and went to sit in the back seat. “You two can share the seats in the front, and I’ll sit at the back.”
Leng Shaoting was going to drive the car so she, of course, wouldn’t sit in the front passenger’s seat. Normally, if a couple was in the same car and the husband was the driver, the front passenger’s seat belonged to the wife. Therefore, Gu Ning directly moved to the front passenger’s seat from the driver’s seat, and left it to Leng Shaoting.
The appointed place where Cao Wenxin was going to meet her friends was a private clubhouse.
Private clubhouses provided a private environment for people from high social class. To make it simple, a private clubhouse was where rich people gathered together, and the membership fee was also very high.
Only a member could book a room, so membership was also the sign of one’s wealth or social status. In addition, one had to book a room a few days in advance because it was hard to book one on the day that he or she came.
When Gu Ning and the others left for the clubhouse, Xia Yichu and her younger brother also got off the plane.
Xia Yichu had called Lu Xiao before she boarded and Lu Xiao had already arranged a driver to pick them up.
Once the plane landed, Xia Yichu called the driver. The driver told them that they would be staying in a hotel tonight and would meet the general manager, Lu Xiao, tomorrow.Lu Xiao booked two rooms at a four-star hotel which was the nearest one to the Shengning Group Building for Xia Yichu and her younger brother. Although a four-star hotel wasn’t as luxurious as a five-star one, it wasn’t bad either.
Shengning Group Building wasn’t fully built yet, but they were renting a nearby 300-square-meter building as the temporary office building. It was just a temporary office building, so it wasn’t well decorated.
Although the Shengning Group Building was still under construction, Lu Xiao was busy acquiring equipment and hiring people these days. Lu Zhan had his own shooting equipment but they needed more than just one set.
There were around a dozen workers in Fenghua Entertainment now, and Lu Xiao had used his network to hire some skilled people for the management.
When Gu Ning and the others arrived at the private clubhouse, a valet parker helped them drive the car to the parking lot and another waiter guided them to their private room.
Cao Wenxin and her friends met in the sports area so there was a lot of exercise equipment, boxing rings and so on.
