Invincible Divine Dragon

35 - Consent and Rejection

" Big Brother , take care ."

Xue Jing sent Wang Xian to the school gate and waved to him zealously .

Wang Xian nodded . he swung the bag of lobsters and swimming crabs back to school .

" Phew ! " Xue Jing let out a loud breath as he looked at Wang Xian's back view . he then added Wang Xian on his Wechat immediately with a thrilled face .

Boom ! 

once Wang Xian returned to his room , he threw the lobsters and the swimming crabs into a basin . then , he looked at the family membership card of summer sun resort and that $ 10 million check .

" I'll bank in the money first ."

the time was 4 pm . Wang Xian placed the family membership card into his wallet and headed out with the check .

he rode his Harley motorcycle to the nearest bank . after depositing the check , his balance had broken the $ 20 million mark .

" Such a young age with $ 20 million assets . Sigh !" 

Wang Xian tossed his bank card into the air as if he was some big shot before he got back on his motorcycle .

then he bought new utensils , sauces , etc . when he was at the supermarket .

after everything was done , it was already past 5 pm . Wang Xian took out his phone and dialed Guan Shuqing .

" Hello , Wang Xian ! "

upon receiving Wang Xian's call , Guan Shuqing , who was upset with her father's call earlier on , turned gleeful .

" Are you free tonight ? i got some lobsters and swimming crabs . want to do some outdoor cooking ?"

Wang Xian asked Guan Shuqing with a grin . when Guan Shuqing treated him to dinner last night , he told her that it would be a seafood feast from now on .

"Tonight ? Sure ! are there any huge lobsters ?" asked Guan Shuqing smilingly , who brightened up her eyes when she heard Wang Xian's question .

" Of course . i still have big lobsters and some swimming crabs . i'll change the menu for you a few days from now ," Wang Xian chuckled and replied .

" Hehe , then i shall not stand on ceremony with you . from now on , i'll get to have great food from the nouveau riche ." Guan Shuqing could not hide her happiness from her face .

" Sure , no problem . come to Eastern hill after work ." Wang Xian nodded .

" Okay ." Guan Shuqing nodded and hung up with a face full of smiles as she held her phone .

" Shuqing !"

just then , a young man interrupted her imaginings .

" Hur ? Director Zhou ! " Guan Shuqing spun and quickly called out when she saw the young man .

" There will be a small gathering tonight . come along too . it's a celebration for closing the international deal ." the young man looked at Guan Shuqing with a tinge of greed flashing in his eyes .

" Hur ? tonight ? Director Zhou , i don't think i can make it . i promised my friend to have dinner together !" Guan Shuqing was slightly stunned , and she quickly shook he head and declined . she had already promised Wang Xian .

" Hur ? Why ?" the young man frowned . " Eight of us from the business operation team and the translation team will be gathering tonight . although you are temporary staff , you should not miss it either . come on , Shuqing . we are going to the nearby famous restaurant , First grade Restaurant ."

" But ... " Guan Shuqing had a look of difficulty on her face when she heard his tonality , " But i already promised my friend . if i don't go ... " 

" Are there many of them ? why not this ? if there aren't many , you can bring your friend over since all of us are young people in the company ," said the young man after observing Guan Shuqing's expression .

" Just one , but ... " Guan Shuqing knit her eyebrows tightly as she hesitated .

" No worries . get your friend to come over . we'll have dinner together since your friend is the top student from the university of Rivertown . in the future , i might go to your school to scout for talents too . just nice , i can get to know your friend and probably all of you can join my company !" the young man gestured with a big hearted smile as he spoke.

upon seeing his attitude , Guan Shuqing knew it would be a slap in his face if she continued to decline . hence , she hesitated and nodded her head , " I'll ask my friend ."

" Okay , give your friend a call . Shuqing , you can't miss the gathering tonight !" the young man chuckled while straightening his suit .

" Okay ." Guan Shuqing nodded . she fished out her phone and walked to the side .

the young man drew his lips . " It's better if her friend is a girl , but it doesn't matter even if it's a guy ."

he smiled confidently before heading back to his office .

Wang Xian wondered why when he saw Guan Shuqing's number on the phone when they just ended the conversation not long ago .

" Why do you call again ? " he questioned .

" Wang Xian , there's a gathering with my colleagues tonight . my boss wants me to go no matter what , " Guan Shuqing said. before Wang Xian could say anything , she quickly added on , " I already turned my boss down , but he asked me to come with my friend . why don't you join us as well ?"

" I don't think this is right , is it ? " Wang Xian was slightly stunned by her words . straightaway , he shook his head and rejected her . " This is your company's gathering . it would be inappropriate for me to go ."

" Wang Xian , can you .... can you come over ? I've only been here for two days , and i'm not very familiar with the rest of the colleagues . besides , i won't be working here for too long . if you are here , i can have someone to talk to . the venue is at the first grade restaurant near our school ." Guan Shuqing dragged her last word out as she seemed to be pleading with him .

" Eh ... " Wang Xian was hesitant , but he finally nodded his head . " Fine ."

" Heh , thank you . when i get my pay , i'll give you a treat ." upon hearing his consent , Guan Shuqing was so happy that she laughed .

" Still , my treat ." Wang Xian smiled . they arranged a time and hung up the phone .

" At most , i'll foot the bill since it's her colleagues' gathering ." Wang Xian put his phone back in his pocket and shrugged . since he had over $ 20 million on his card now , he was full of confidence .

Buzz !

after he stored his lobsters and the swimming crabs and changed his clothes , his phone buzzed again .

" Lan Qingyue ? " Wang Xian opened his Wechat and was shocked to see her message . " Lan Qingyue asked me out for dinner . looks like i'm quite popular after all ! " 

he touched his face as he was feeling himself . however , he turned her down with a reply , " I'm having dinner with my friend tonight . sorry , next time then ! "

at the same time , Lan Qingyue was a little uptight as she sat on the sofa in the luxurious villa .

this was the first time she asked a guy out for dinner . as she recalled the figure who hugged her , she was looking forward to it while feeling nervous .

hence , when the notification sound rang , she quickly checked on it .

" Rejected . he actually rejected me ." Lan Qingyue was dazed as she looked at the message . she felt something special within her .

she did not expect she would get rejected the first time she asked a guy out for dinner .
