More Than A Few Blessing

Chapter 16: Visiting filming set

Huang Chuan didn't think that he would meet the President of Huading at the parking lot. First, he was stunned and then greeted him with a happy face. “I didn't expect to meet President Yan here. Why don't we have a potluck together?” At first, he wanted to use Huading's internal staff to pave the way for him so that he could get the small project under Huading's banner. Who would have thought that he unexpectedly bumps into Huading's President here? Of course he will spare no effort to worm his way into being a friend with Yan Mu.

Yan Mu slightly wrinkle his eyebrows after he managed to take a good look to the person who's talking to him. Then he saw Lu Chengyu is standing a few steps away from Huangchuan, Yan Mu walks across Huangchuan and went beside Lu Chengyu without saying any words.

When Huangchuan saw Yan Mu's action, he immediately remembers what's his uncle has told him before. It seemed like there was really something fishy is going on between Assistant Lu and President of Huading. He starts to speak up, “It's rare to meet both President Yan and Assistant Lu today. There is a new French restaurant opened in the Eastern District recently. If you have time, why don't we all go there?”

Lu Chengyu raised his eyebrows and looks at Yan Mu. He can see Yan Mu looks displeased towards Huangchuan right away. Apparently, he didn't seem to like him very much.

“That's okay, thank you for Mr Huang's gracious invitation but I have other things to do this evening, so I can't go.” Lu Chengyu continues to speak, “Mr Huang must be busy, I won't take any more of your time, I'll leave first.”

When Huangchuan heard Lu Chengyu's refusal, he saw that Chengyu already has gone before he manages to stop him. Obviously, Chengyu is not in the mood to eat with him now. Huangchuan looks at Yan Mu, he hopes that Yan Mu will agree to eat with him due to his relationship with Third Uncle as in giving him face because he is Third Uncle's nephew.

“No need, thank you,” Yan Mu answered briefly and go to his car. Under Huangchuan's gaze, Yan Mu drove his car away.

“Aren't you two just stinky money? Why the hell put on airs?” Huangchuan kicked the building pillar with one leg and spit, “Even that little toy boy is acting up, peii [1].“

[1] 呸 [pēi]: pooh!; to spit (in contempt)

As soon as Lu Chengyu's car left the parking lot, he saw Yan Mu's car coming from behind. Chengyu slowed down his car and rolled down the window, he waved to Yan Mu, “See you tomorrow, boss.”

Yan Mu was stunned. When he was ready to wave back to him, he saw Lu Chengyu's car is already in front of him. Yan Mu looked at his hand and closed the window.

When Lu Chengyu drove past a public square, he saw Liang Company's real estate advertisement on the big screen there. In the advertisement, Liang Company's high-grade community area looks splendid and magnificent, just like a fairyland. At the same time, the advertisement also declares that living in this community is a symbol of good status and high-quality taste.

The slogan for this advertisement looks quite vulgar [2] but it didn't stop the local tyrant to buy houses from this community considering how they like to show off their financial status to everyone else.

[2] vulgar slogan: Liang stated that if you buy houses in our community, then you have status and high taste, if not, then you don't have status or taste.

When Chengyu failed in Liang Company's interview, he did not pay much attention to Liang Company's affairs. He only knew that although the house in Liang Company's community was expensive, it was quickly sold out. Only a few years later, the quality problem appeared in this community area, and Liang had to spend a lot of energy and money to settle the matter.
