Chapter 187 Are You Mad?
Leng Shaoting wasn’t picky about restaurants, but he chose a fancy one with a romantic ambiance when he was with Gu Ning. Although they didn’t talk much sitting across each other, they enjoyed being together.
Leng Shaoting ordered a steak, while Gu Ning only ordered a cup of coffee because she had already eaten.
Leng Shaoting frowned a little with obvious dissatisfaction. “Aren’t you afraid that it’ll affect your sleep?”
“Not at all. It has no effect on me,” Gu Ning explained. In fact, Gu Ning had her power, so she could fall asleep or stay awake whenever she wanted.
Leng Shaoting didn’t insist then.
Gu Ning suddenly realized that she totally forgot her plan about the Yuntai Mountain, but she didn’t have time now and could only wait until she was back from City G.
When it was almost 10 pm, the two left. Leng Shaoting sent Gu Ning back to zone G, and as usual didn’t leave till she had fully disappeared from his sight.
When Gu Ning got home, she noticed that her family were all staring at a bunch of gifts and red envelopes that they had received today.
Both An Qian and Le Zhengyu had sent a red envelope of sixty-six thousand yuan, which meant good luck. Shenghua Real Estate had sent eighty-eight thousand yuan, which had a good meaning of a thriving business.
Kamei Beauty Salon only sent baskets of flowers, because it was their own business.
And those who had come for the sake of Leng Shaoting all sent sixty-six thousand yuan or eighty-eight thousand yuan on behalf of their companies, even the individuals had sent at least a couple dozen thousand yuan each. Similarly, Jiang Xu’s friends had sent thousands of yuan as well. The most expensive gift was Qin Yifan’s gold brave troops, which was worth a million yuan.
They had received over a million yuan in cash today. It was the first time that Jiang Xu and others had seen so much cash, thus they couldn’t believe that it was true.
“Ningning, these are all from your friends. I think you should take them!” Jiang Xu had already separated the gifts from Gu Ning’s network apart. He thought that these belonged to Gu Ning, instead of him.
“No, please take them. You can save them as your fund,” Gu Ning declined.
“But…” Jiang Xu didn’t think that it was a good idea.
“Don’t worry. You need to pay those guests back when they invite you to attend a ceremony or something else in the future after all,” Gu Ning explained.
Leng Shaoting deliberately helped her uncle build up a network, so he had a chance to maintain the relationship with them.
“Well…” Jiang Xu thought for a while and finally agreed. “Alright then, I’ll take them!”
“Oh, Mom, I’m leaving for City G tomorrow,” Gu Ning said to Gu Man.
“What are you going to do there?” Gu Man asked. She had the feeling that Gu Ning was always busy recently, so she was slightly worried.
“I need to go over and have a look of my new store. It’s going to open this weekend,” Gu Ning didn’t hide the truth, but didn’t give information about the store. Gu Man thought that it was a store ran by Gu Ning and Mu Ke, so she didn’t ask further.
The next day, Gu Ning left at 7 am. Leng Shaoting was waiting for her at outside of zone G.
“Will you be staying in a hotel in City G?” Leng Shaoting asked.
Although Leng Shaoting heard from Chen Meng that he had met Gu Ning at Clean Water Blue Sky, he wasn’t sure whether she had stayed in a friend’s place or she bought it herself.
“Not really. I have an apartment at Clean Water Blue Sky in City G. I’ll stay there, because I’ll be flying to City G often in the future,” Gu Ning said.
All of a sudden, an idea dawned on Gu Ning. “Did you arrange for people to attend my opening ceremony there the same way you did yesterday?”
Leng Shaoting panicked a little, but nodded.
Gu Ning didn’t know what to say. She didn’t want him to do that for her, but wasn’t willing to turn him down either.
“Are you mad?” Leng Shaoting asked nervously.
“Of course not. I just think that it isn’t a good idea that you owe others because of me,” Gu Ning explained.
“It’s fine. They’re all my fellows this time,” Leng Shaoting said. Leng Shaoting purposely didn’t tell Xu Jinchen about Gu Ning’s business in City G. He had already allowed Xu Jinchen to leave their base, and he knew that Xu Jinchen would absolutely go to City G if he found out what Gu Ning was doing there. Leng Shaoting, of course, didn’t want him to show up.
Gu Ning felt more at ease after Leng Shaoting’s explanation.
They arrived at the airport 30 minutes later. Leng Shaoting sent Gu Ning to the lounge before he left.
Zhou Zhenghong called Gu Ning afterwards. “Boss, there is a news reporter from News At Half Past Six that wants to interview me. Should I accept it?”
“Yes! It’s a great opportunity to advertise our brand,” Gu Ning answered. Although their advertisement was already popular, she didn’t want to miss any chance to promote it.
With Gu Ning’s permission, Zhou Zhenghong immediately contacted the reporter and accept it.
The reporter who called Zhou Zhenghong was named Ling Xue, and was a news reporter working for the News At Half Past Six. The show was always high on the ratings.
Although the advertisement for the Jade Beauty Jewelry had already been aired a few days ago, they weren’t jade lovers, so they didn’t think there was a need to have an interview about it.
However, the program editor suddenly assigned them a task to interview the boss of the Jade Beauty Jewelry and shoot the King’s Green.
A video of the jade was more attractive than photos.
Therefore, Ling Xue noted the number from the advertisement post of the Jade Beauty Jewelry and dialed it.
The store wasn’t open yet, but there were workers to answer the call.
A worker immediately told Zhou Zhenghong the news after Ling Xue’s call. With Zhou Zhenghong’s permission, the worker gave his number to Ling Xue, which was how the two got to know each other.
Ling Xue came over the minute that Zhou Zhenghong called her and agreed to have the interview, but reporters weren’t allowed to enter the factory, so they had the interview outside. Zhou Zhenghong went in to bring the King’s Green to let them shoot.
In case any accidents would happen, Chang Qingshan and the others all stopped working and went out with Zhou Zhenghong.
Zhou Zhenghong was experienced and he knew how to advertise the brand of Jade Beauty Jewelry.
Although the news reporter came to them on her own initiative, Zhou Zhenghong still gave the reporter and cameraman a red envelope of five hundred yuan each, because the news was to their advantage.
As long as they took the red envelopes, they would probably extend the commercial time.
Ling Xue told him that if it was possible, they would shoot in the store tomorrow as well. Zhou Zhenghong of course welcomed them, because it was free advertisement for them.
