Chapter 158: Xiaoxiao, I Want to Give You a Surprise! 2
“But…” Lu Ziyi’s eyes were sly, and he said in a drawn-out voice, “Senior Student Jin Xian hasn’t spoken yet, how do you know this favor can’t be spoken?”
“Haha!” Zhang Jinxian laughed, “Is there still room for maneuver here, Ziyi?”
“Since Senior Student Jin Xian called me, I’ll be a little busier.”
“Ziyi, you’ve worked hard!” Zhang Jinxian said sincerely, “I’ll treat you and Chairman Tang to lunch today, and you can discuss the contract.”
“Okay, thank you for your hard work, Senior Student Jin Xian.”
When Zhao Congrui and Lin Houchun were preparing to cook at noon, Lu Ziyi said he had an engagement and wouldn’t be eating lunch with them.
Lu Ziyi changed into formal wear, an immaculate white shirt, and crisp, long dark blue trousers, complementing his exceptionally handsome temperament.
When Lu Ziyi came out of the room, Ye Chuxiao saw him and couldn’t help but freeze, then her delicate little face became suspiciously red.
Truly a man who is… “stunning”!
To hide the pounding of her heart, Ye Chuxiao said, “I’ll help Senior Student Ziyi pick out a pair of shoes.”
The girl hid by the shoe cabinet.
“Okay.” Lu Ziyi walked to Ye Chuxiao’s side.
Zhao Congrui and Lin Houchun peeked out from the kitchen doorway, accustomed to being subjected to public displays of affection.
“Xiaoxiao,” Zhao Congrui called out, “Next time there’s an event, Xiaoxiao should also help Brother Congrui pick out clothes and shoes.”
Lu Ziyi replied without looking back, “You and Houchun can pick for each other!”
Lu Ziyi put on the black leather shoes Ye Chuxiao picked for him and left. Ye Chuxiao saw him off.
Standing by the door, Ye Chuxiao was like a little wife eagerly awaiting her husband’s early return.
Lu Ziyi looked at her innocent expression, even his eyes held a smile.
“I’ll be back after lunch, wait for me.”
Xiaoxiao, wait for me! I want to give you a surprise!
“Okay, Senior Student Ziyi, have a smooth day.”
“Smooth!” Lu Ziyi ruffled Ye Chuxiao’s soft hair on her head and set off.

On Monday, Ye Chuxiao went to the canteen for dinner immediately after class and then took a taxi to the Tang Group’s office building.
Fortunately, the lecture started at eight, and she arrived at the meeting room at seven fifty.
“Xiaoxiao!”
Ye Chuxiao was greeted by a hearty and joyful voice.
Ye Chuxiao saw Lin Chusheng standing at the meeting room door, with Tang Jie’er beside him.
“Brother Chusheng, Older Sister Jie’er,” Ye Chuxiao greeted politely.
Tang Jie’er was the general manager in charge of this competition, and Lin Chusheng was assisting her as her boyfriend.
“Xiaoxiao, I knew you were amazing!” Lin Chusheng said joyfully, “You really stood out from tens of thousands of people and made it to the finals!”
“Thank you for your encouragement, Brother Chusheng!”
“Xiaoxiao, keep up the good work. Brother Chusheng is rooting for you!”
Lin Chusheng thought that Ye Chuxiao participated in the competition because of his proposal, but in reality, Ye Chuxiao’s homeroom teacher used the Tang Group’s competition as an assignment for the students.
Tang Jie’er, standing nearby, said indifferently, “Go in and sign in.”
Tang Jie’er didn’t expect a sophomore like Ye Chuxiao to pass the preliminary selection. However, the submitted works were judged blindly by the judges, and they didn’t know the author of the design draft beforehand. This was very fair, and Tang Jie’er had nothing to say about it.
However, Tang Jie’er had previously looked down on Ye Chuxiao and didn’t think any more highly of her now; a shallow young girl couldn’t possibly be this lucky repeatedly.
“I’ll go sign in.” Ye Chuxiao walked into the meeting room and signed in with the staff in charge.
