Chapter 172 I Just Want to See You

Clarifying a scandal is not just a matter of posting a notice online.

Xu Li is responsible for communicating with Xie Yu to ensure that the clarification method will minimize the impact of this incident.

After all, the two of them are friends, and they can't let a rift arise over such a small matter.

Anyway, when Nanzhi finished talking with Boss Yang and was driven home by him, the clarification notice had not come out yet, and the situation seemed to be getting worse.

Nanzhi raised his hand and pressed his temple, and he really couldn't accept the looks of contemporary netizens.

What on earth could make people see ambiguity in her and Xie Yu's simply colleagues relationship?
Fortunately, Boss Yang gave her some comfort.

Although further cooperation was not reached, the dividend income that fried rice brought to Nanzhi was already very considerable, more than Nanzhi expected!
Nanzhi was in a good mood thinking of the impressive bank card balance.

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—

Familiar license plate.

A familiar man walked out of the car.

Nanzhi knew that this person was looking for her, so she put one hand in her pocket and thought happily:

If this guy really came to question her about the scandal, she could listen to him for a few more seconds because she was in a good mood before turning against him and cursing.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Shixu had already approached.

"I'm back from a business trip."

He said.

Just like a husband who honestly reports his itinerary to his wife.

Nanzhi clicked his tongue:
"Well, then what?"

Lu Shixu didn't rush to speak.

Instead, he glanced at Boss Yang's car which had not yet left the roadside.

Nanzhi looked in the direction he was looking.

Through the car window, I saw Boss Yang looking around curiously.

She was probably thinking about her relationship with Lu Shixu, and was hesitating whether she should go forward to 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 his intense emotions.

Who knows, the next second he might ask you an inappropriate question...

"That's your friend, right? Should I say hello to him?"

Lu Shixu's emotions disappeared in an instant.

Not only did he look calm, but he also seemed to be somewhat... proactive in showing goodwill towards Boss Yang?
Ok?
Is she dazzled?

Nanzhi once suspected that she had not woken up yet, otherwise why did she encounter so many strange things today.

I don’t know if Nanzhi’s surprised gaze was too direct.

Lu Shixu turned his face away uncomfortably and handed the box in his hand over.

"I brought you a gift from my business trip."

Nanzhi was confused.

When I lowered my head, I found that Lu Shixu was holding a wooden box in his hand.

Oh, it shouldn't be described as a wooden box.

Nanzhi had seen the wealthy 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 wood.

As a precious wood second only to rosewood, the box was exquisitely carved with patterns and exuded a faint fragrance. How could such a good thing worth no less than six figures be used only to store things?

Needless to say, the things inside must be more expensive.

Nanzhi didn't want to accept it and refused directly:
"I do not want."

Lu Shixu had anticipated her answer a long time ago.

He spoke with certainty:
"Why don't you open the box and take a look at what's inside?"

Nanzhi glanced at him.

Finally, I couldn't resist my curiosity and opened a corner of the lid...

"Hmm? Books?"

"It is an ancient book from the Ming Dynasty." Lu Shixu added at the right time.

When Nanzhi saw the name on the yellowed cover, he realized that there was more than just an ancient book inside.

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.

It is a bit similar to "Suiyuan Food List", but not as famous.

Coincidentally, Nanzhi had seen a rubbing version of this book that was circulated in later generations, but the pages were fragmentary and incomplete. Nanzhi read it intermittently and always felt regretful about it.

Who would have thought that I would see him again here with Lu Shixu!

Judging from the state of this ancient book and Lu Shixu's attitude, it should be the original version written by the author himself!

Nanzhi's fingertips trembled unconsciously.

She was moved.

Lu Shixu's gift really touched her heart, making Nanzhi eager to read it and full of curiosity about the remaining content that she had not finished reading.

If she hadn't told anyone that she had read this book, Nanzhi would almost think that Lu Shixu did it on purpose!
"I……"

Nanzhi struggled for a few seconds and finally shook his head.
"No, it's too expensive."

She closed the box with difficulty, deciding to out of sight, out of mind.

Lu Shixu insisted:

"It's not expensive, as long as you like it."

Nanzhi thought about it and searched the Internet on her mobile phone.

Indeed, a manuscript like this from an unknown writer would not be too expensive even if it was an original from the Ming Dynasty.

At most, it will be slightly more expensive than similar items because it is well preserved and in good condition.

But in general, it is within the tolerance range of Nanzhi.

Nanzhi was reluctant to give up the good things in front of him, so he thought of a compromise:

"How about this, you tell me a price and I'll consider it as buying it from you?"

Lu Shixu naturally didn't want to agree.

But Nanzhi had already backed down. He knew that if he insisted any further, Nanzhi would give up the idea of ​​buying.

He thought for a few seconds and gave a number:
"……1."

"Do you take me for a fool?"

Nanzhi stared at him expressionlessly.

Lu Shixu was very quiet.

He's not actually a very easy person to get along with.

But in front of Nanzhi, all his pride could not take shape.

Finally, he obediently gave the number again.

Nanzhi used her mobile phone to confirm again that Lu Shixu's price was in line with the market price, then asked him for his account number and transferred the money.

When Lu Shixu handed the box over, she shook her head:
"The box is useless. It's too expensive."

Then he used only the soft cloth used to pad the book inside the box to carefully wrap the thing and held it in his hands.

Lu Shixu did not insist, he just wanted her to accept the things.

The price he mentioned is not far from the actual price.

It's cheaper, of course, but not much cheaper.

Lu Shixu didn't spend much money to buy this ancient book.

The real difficulty was how to know the news of Mr. Huang's death before others.

What is needed behind this is another level of energy.

Nanzhi could vaguely guess it.

So, she didn't immediately send him away with a cold face.

Instead, he asked in a relaxed and cheerful manner:
"You've been on a business trip for so long, don't you want to go back and rest?"

Lu Shixu shook his head slowly:
"I just wanted to come and see you."

Nanzhi was stunned.

The spring breeze blows and the branches of flowers tremble.

Nanzhi vaguely remembered that Lu Shixu had said exactly the same thing before.
