Reincarnation Of The Businesswoman At School Chapter 2096 - Share a Meal Together

Chapter 2096: Share a Meal Together

Although she disliked unspoken rules, she knew it was her best chance to become popular in this industry when she didn’t have powerful support.
She thought that she was good-looking and excellent at acting, but there were too many beautiful and skilled actors in the entertainment industry, so outstanding appearance and abilities were hardly enough for her to stand out.
In fact, the competition was quite fierce in the entertainment industry. If she didn’t yield to unspoken rules, other actresses could and would get the opportunities.
Chu Peihan was pretty and good at acting, but she was just a freshman.
If Fu Xiaoxiao was turned down by Professor Gu when she was also a freshman, she could accept that because she wasn’t outstanding back then. However, she was a sophomore now and her acting had greatly improved during last year. She had gotten a lot of approval from other professional teachers.
Unfortunately, she went back to Professor Gu not long ago and Professor Gu refused to take her as his student once more, which was quite unfair in her opinion.
However, even if she lost her balance, she couldn’t change it or make things difficult for Chu Peihan.
In the old days, she could be so impulsive, but she was an actress with some fame now. She couldn’t damage her reputation, so she wouldn’t go to cause Chu Peihan trouble. Anyway, even if she didn’t do that, she knew there would be people who were ready to.
There were a lot of students who wanted to become Professor Gu’s students, so they would be jealous of Chu Peihan after hearing the news. Out of jealousy, they would cause Chu Peihan trouble.
Fu Xiaoxiao was right, because there were indeed some people who began to scheme against Chu Peihan once they learned that she became Professor Gu’s student.
…
That morning, Baili Zongxue sent out a message in their WeChat group. She told her friends that she would come back to school at noon.
After reading Baili Zongxue’s message, Song Miaoge and Zhang Zikai were finally relieved. They also asked Baili Zongxue why they couldn’t get through to her these days.
Baili Zongxue explained that she went on an adventure into a mountain range and there was no signal.
Song Miaoge and Zhang Zikai didn’t doubt her words because they knew Baili Zongxue wasn’t a weak girl. So it wasn’t strange that she went on an adventure.
After their classes were over in the afternoon, the four of them gathered together.
Du Jialei ran towards the canteen once his classes were over. Once he arrived, he stood at the gate looking ahead. Obviously, he was waiting for someone.
Du Jialei was indeed waiting for Gu Ning because he wanted to invite her to share a meal together to thank her for what had happened. Gu Ning had saved his life!
His father originally wanted to invite Gu Ning to have a meal in a fancy hotel, but Du Jialei didn’t think that Gu Ning would agree, but he would still ask her.
If Gu Ning agreed, they would go. If not, he would buy her a meal at the canteen today.
When Gu Ning and her friends arrived at the canteen, they saw Du Jialei.
The moment Du Jialei saw Gu Ning, his face lit up and he quickly ran over.
“Oh, isn’t this Du Jialei from the Journalism Department?” Seeing Du Jialei, Song Miaoge asked.
Although they had only met once, Song Miaoge remembered him.
Du Jialei was surprised that Song Miaoge still remembered him, so he put on a shy smile, then he greeted them. “Hi, Gu Ning, Song Miaoge, Baili Zongxue, and you, nice to see you all.”
Du Jialei didn’t know Zhang Zikai, so he didn’t call her by name.
After that, Du Jialei turned to Gu Ning. “Um, Gu Ning, can we have a private talk for a moment?”
“Sure,” said Gu Ning, then she walked aside with Du Jialei. At the same time, she roughly guessed why Du Jialei wanted to see her.
The other girls exchanged a confused glance when Du Jialei took Gu Ning away.
“Um, Gu Ning, thank you so much for saving my life last night. My father wants to invite you to a meal to thank you. Would you…” said Du Jialei to Gu Ning.
“I appreciate your gratitude, but I don’t think a meal is necessary.” Gu Ning rejected it.
It wasn’t a surprising answer, so Du Jialei wasn’t surprised.
“Well, why don’t we and your friends share a meal at our school? Please don’t turn me down again, or I’ll blame myself,” said Du Jialei. He was determined to have a meal with Gu Ning.
“Fine!” Since he insisted, Gu Ning didn’t turn him down again. They needed to have a meal anyway.
Hearing that Du Jialei would buy them a meal, Baili Zongxue and the other girls were very pleased. They didn’t know the reason nor did they bother to ask because it was obviously because of Gu Ning.
In the canteen, Gu Ning met Rong Zechen.
Rong Zechen had mixed emotions when he saw Gu Ning. Now Rong Zechen didn’t have much affection towards Gu Ning. He was unwilling to accept the fact that Gu Ning had rejected him and he didn’t want to see her live a good life.
He wouldn’t cause her trouble though, because it wasn’t necessary. However, since he couldn’t ignore her, he walked away after glancing at her.
Wei Chuanxun, on the contrary, changed his opinions about Gu Ning after the establishment of the Shengning Organization. Now he didn’t dare to slight Gu Ning.
He didn’t slight her, but he was still biased against her. He still couldn’t appreciate her and Rong Zechen also had negative feelings towards Gu Ning.
Gu Ning couldn’t care less about Rong Zechen. He was just a stranger, so she didn’t bother to pay attention to him.
After they sat, they began to order. None of them hesitated to order their favorites, but they wouldn’t waste food.
After having the meal and separating from Du Jialei, Song Miaoge and the other girls curiously asked Gu Ning why Du Jialei wanted to buy her a meal.
Gu Ning didn’t keep it a secret, but didn’t tell them many details. They didn’t ask further about it either.
…
At the same time, in the Capital Film Academy.
Once Han Chenglin showed up at the canteen, he attracted much attention. Many girls tried to strike up a conversation with him, and he politely replied to them.
He had some fame, so he cared about his reputation to a degree. However, it wasn’t that important because he chose to work in this industry not for fame or wealth. He simply liked this job, so he didn’t care much about his reputation.
At this moment, Chu Peihan and one of her close female friends came to the canteen. They were talking and laughing, but Chu Peihan became annoyed once she saw Han Chenglin.
Han Chenglin appeared here undoubtedly for her, because Han Chenglin had already joined the entertainment industry. He wasn’t as free as the students, so he showed up for her every time.
