Chapter 172 I just want to see you
Clarifying the scandal is not just a matter of posting it online.
Xu Li is responsible for communicating with Xie Yu to ensure that the clarification method will minimize the impact of this matter.
After all, the two of them are considered friends, and they can't have a rift over such trivial matters.
Anyway, when Nanzhi finished chatting with Boss Yang and was driven to the door of his house, the clarification notice had not yet come out, but the situation seemed to be getting worse.
Nanzhi raised his hand and pressed his temples, looking at the eyes of contemporary netizens with disdain.
How could she and Xie Yu see ambiguity in their simple relationship as colleagues?
Fortunately, Boss Yang gave her some comfort.
Although further cooperation has not been reached, the dividend income brought by fried rice to Nanzhi is already very considerable, more than Nanzhi expected!
Thinking of the beautiful bank card balance, Nanzhi was in a good mood.
Even when she got out of the car and said goodbye to Boss Yang, the smile on her face never faded.
Then she caught a glimpse of a Bentley parked on the side of the road -
with a familiar license plate.
A familiar man walked out of the car.
Nanzhi knew that this person was here to find him, put one hand in his pocket and thought happily:
If this guy really came to question her because of the scandal, for the sake of her good mood, she could listen to what he said a few more times before turning his back and scolding him.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Shixu had already walked closer.
“I’m back from a business trip.”
He said.
It’s like a husband who honestly reports the itinerary to his wife.
Nanzhi clicked his tongue:
"Well, what next?"
Lu Shixu didn't speak in a hurry.
But first he glanced at Boss Yang's car that had not yet left on the side of the road.
Nanzhi looked in the direction of his gaze.
Through the car window, I saw Boss Yang looking around.
Probably thinking about her relationship with Lu Shixu, hesitating whether to step forward for help.
Nanzhi waved his hand in the air, signaling Boss Yang to leave first.
Then she crossed her arms with interest, wanting to see Lu Shixu's next reaction.
Lu Shixu's jawline was slightly tense, as if he was enduring something.
Nanzhi, who was familiar with him, knew that this was a sign that Lu Shixu was suppressing intense emotions.
Maybe there will be an inappropriate question in the next second...
"Is that your friend? Do I need to say hello to him?"
Lu Shixu The emotion disappeared instantly.
Not only did he look calm, but he also seemed to be kind of... taking the initiative to show his kindness to Boss Yang?
Um?
Is she dazzled?
Nanzhi once suspected that she was not awake yet, otherwise why would she always encounter strange things today.
I don’t know if Nanzhi’s surprised gaze was too direct.
Lu Shixu tilted his face uncomfortably and handed out the box in his hand.
"A gift I brought to you on a business trip."
Nanzhi was confused.
When he lowered his head, he realized that Lu Shixu had been holding a wooden box in his hand.
Oh, it shouldn’t be described as a wooden box.
Nanzhi had seen the rich royal treasury in another world, which contained countless rare treasures.
So it was not difficult for her to recognize that the box was made of huanghuali.
As a precious wood second only to red sandalwood, the box is beautifully carved and exudes a faint fragrance. Such a good thing worth no less than six figures is only used to hold things?
Don’t think about it, the things inside are definitely more expensive.
Nanzhi didn’t want to accept it and refused directly:
“I don’t want it.”
Lu Shixu had already expected her answer.
He said quite confidently:
"Why don't you open the box first and take a look at the contents?"
Nanzhi glanced at him.
Finally, I couldn't hold back my curiosity and opened a corner of the lid...
"Huh? Book?"
"It's an ancient book from the Ming Dynasty." Lu Shixu added in time.
Nanzhi glanced at the name on the yellow cover and realized that it contained more than just an ancient book.
This is a cookbook.
To be precise, it was a talented scholar in the Ming Dynasty who recorded the various delicacies he saw during his travels around the world in the form of essays.
Somewhat similar to "Suiyuan Food List", but not as famous.
Unfortunately, Nanzhi had seen the rubbing version of this book that was circulated in later generations, but the pages were fragmented and incomplete. Nanzhi could only read them intermittently, which has always been a regret.
Who would have thought that we would see Lu Shixu here again!
Looking at the state of this ancient book and Lu Shixu’s attitude, we know that this should be the original version written by the author himself!
Nanzhi's fingertips trembled unconsciously.
She was moved.
Lu Shixu's gift was really delivered to her heart, making Nanzhi eager to move and full of curiosity about the remaining content that she had not finished reading.
If she hadn’t told anyone about reading this book, Nanzhi would have almost thought that Lu Shixu did it on purpose!
"I..."
Nanzhi struggled for a few seconds and finally shook her head,
"No need, the things are too valuable."
She closed the box with difficulty, deciding to keep out of sight and out of mind.
Lu Shixu insisted:
“It’s not expensive, as long as you like it.”
Nanzhi thought for a while and searched the Internet on his mobile phone.
Indeed, the price of such manuscripts by unknown literati, even if they are originals from the Ming Dynasty, will not be too high.
At most, it will be slightly more expensive than similar products because it is well preserved and in good condition.
But in general, it is within the tolerance range of Nanzhi.
Nanzhi was really reluctant to give up the good thing in front of him, so he simply thought of a compromise:
"How about this? You tell me a price and I buy it from you?"
Of course Lu Shixu didn't want to agree.
But Nanzhi had already regressed. He knew that if he persisted, Nanzhi would give up even the idea of buying.
He considered it for a few seconds and reported a number:
"...1 thousand."
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
Nanzhi stared at him expressionlessly.
Lu Shixu was very quiet.
He is actually not that easy to get along with.
But in front of Nanzhi, all his pride could not take shape.
Finally, he obeyed and retold the numbers.
After Nanzhi confirmed with his mobile phone that Lu Shixu’s price was in line with the market price, he asked him for his account number and transferred the money.
When Lu Shixu handed the box over, she shook her head:
"There is no need for the box, it is too expensive."
Then only the soft cloth used to line the book was used. , carefully wrapped the things and held them in his hands.
Lu Shixu didn't insist, he just wanted her to accept the things.
The price he mentioned is not far from the real price.
Of course it will be cheaper, but not much cheaper.
Lu Shixu didn’t spend much money buying this ancient book.
The real difficulty is how to know the news of Mr. Huang's death before others.
What is needed behind this is another level of energy.
Nanzhi can vaguely guess.
So, she didn’t immediately drive away with a cold face.
Instead, he softened his attitude and asked in a good mood:
“You have come back from a business trip for so long, don’t you need to go back to rest?”
Lu Shixu shook his head slowly:
“I just want to come and see you.”
Nanzhi was startled.
The spring breeze blows and the flower branches tremble.
Nanzhi vaguely remembered that Lu Shixu had said exactly the same thing before.
