Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories - Chapter 494

Chapter 494: Will Not Let You Off

The boss said, “I had given you priority for the opportunity on Christmas. Although you did not go, when it was announced, it was obvious to everybody. I cannot give you priority for all the opportunities. This time around, for the gambling stones competition, I plan to let Lu Mengxi represent Gubelin.”

Shen Qianshu was startled. She smiled. “Alright, I understand.”

The boss was a little guilty, but he could not ward off the pillow talk. Recently, Zhou Lulu and Lu Mengxi were rather close. She had instigated him to emphasize on nurturing Lu Mengxi.

Lu Mengxi was also well-known overseas, and this point had given her more advantage over Shen Qianshu.

She was good-looking, her image was good, and her professional knowledge and background were solid. There was so much to gain and nothing to lose by nurturing Lu Mengxi and having good ties with the Lu family.

“Boss, let me make it clear. If I cannot represent the company to join, I will join with my own name.” Shen Qianshu smiled slightly. “Let’s be candid here. If my ranking is higher than Lu Mengxi and it’s a blow to you, you cannot blame me.”

“… ” The boss was at a loss for words.

He had always liked Shen Qianshu’s confidence.

It was as if she was the King of Glory who stood by her words in this profession.

However, when she stood on the opposite side, the feeling was not that good.

“Sure.”

He believed that Lu Mengxi would not lose to Shen Qianshu.

Shen Qianshu came out from the office and went back to her own office. Chen Qiuxiang came in. “Have you obtained a place for the gambling stones competition?”

“Boss gave it to Lu Mengxi.”

“Based on what? She just came to Gubelin.”

Shen Qianshu smiled. “She is well-known overseas.”

“Boss is being too much of a flatterer.” Chen Qiuxiang was somehow unsatisfied. The main inspector in their team had chosen Lu Mengxi and had given up on Shen Qianshu. The whole office had a grasp of the situation, and it was obvious that he was supportive of Lu Mengxi.

Shen Qianshu smiled and did not take it to heart.

Lu Mengxi peered through the glass door of the office and looked at Shen Qianshu coldly. She had a tinge of jealousy in her heart that she could not express. When Lu Mengxi was growing up, she had been very pampered. She was able to get it whatever she wanted. When she grew up, she had also achieved outstanding results without depending on her family. However, she did not expect that she would actually be… so humiliated by Shen Qianshu!

Shen Qianshu, just you wait!

I will not let you off!

Lin Xiaojuan made a call to Shen Qianshu. “Qianshu, let’s have dinner tonight. It’s my parents’ anniversary, and I have booked a private room. They also have not seen you in a long time.”

“Sure, see you tonight.”

Lin Xiaojuan did not stay with her parents. Her parents lived in the south city, which was quite remote. Her family was in the business of herbs. The south city was an old town, and there were especially many herb businesses. Furthermore, it was near to the port and was very convenient. After Lin Xiaojuan finished university, she had been staying in the east. She and Shen Qianshu had bought an apartment in the east. This was a new town and thus was developing very rapidly. Moreover, it was a finance development center. In the end, Lin Xiaojuan would mostly go home to visit her parents, and her parents hardly came to the east city.

Shen Qianshu was on good terms with the parents of the Lin family. Although they seldom came, they would often send some fresh herbs and trade port specialties from around the world.

When it was time for dinner, Ah Da sent Tong Hua over.

Lin Kun gave Tong Hua a red packet upon meeting him. Han Fang was smiling at the side and was very affectionate. Lin Kun had nothing attractive about his appearance, and his look was ordinary. However, Han Fang was a big beauty. She was nearing middle age, but her charms still existed. Lin Xiaojuan’s good looks were inherited from her mother. Both mother and daughter looked very alike.

“Tong Hua is getting more and more good-looking as he grows up. This little look is really similar to Qianshu,” Han Fang said with a smile. “People say that when others stay together, they will look similar to one another.”

“I also feel that Dad is much more handsome now compared to when he was younger.” Lin Xiaojuan noted.
