Reincarnation Of The Businesswoman At School Novel - Chapter 814

Chapter 814: Xu Jinchen Feels Hurt

“Am I wrong? Aren’t you in a serious relationship right now?” Gu Ning pretended to be innocent.

Hearing that, Xin Bei caught Cao Wenxin’s hand without delay and said, “You’re right. You can call me your cousin-in-law.” Although they just became boyfriend and girlfriend, Xin Bei took their relationship very seriously.

Cao Wenxin tried to draw her hand back, but she wasn’t as strong as Xin Bei, so she gave up in the end.

Gu Ning also stopped joking about them, then walked inside holding Leng Shaoting’s hand.

Cao Wenxin pouted at Xin Bei, but Xin Bei pulled her hand while walking forward.

…

In the private room, Xu Jinchen was reading news on his phone to kill time. When both of the couples walked inside hand in hand, Xu Jinchen felt quite hurt.

“Please, stop showing off your affection towards each other in front of me!” Xu Jinchen complained. Couldn’t they care about his feelings as the only single man in the room?

“Live with it,” Leng Shaoting said without hesitation.

At this moment, Xu Jinchen wished that he were blind so that he wouldn’t feel hurt seeing the two loving couples.

Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei each pulled a chair out for Gu Ning and Cao Wenxin before they were seated.

Xu Jinchen had already ordered, so the dishes were placed on the table once they arrived.

Seeing Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei serving their girlfriend all the time during the meal, Xu Jinchen couldn’t stand it any longer. He finished eating as soon as possible, then walked out to get some fresh air.

Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei ignored him, and kept doing what they were doing.

…

“Hey, are you waiting for someone? Can I have a seat here?”

A short while after Xu Jinchen went to drink tea in the tea room, a beautiful woman struck up a conversation with him.

Xu Jinchen was different from Leng Shaoting who would reject every woman, and the woman was pretty as well as elegant, so he said, “Please!”

“Thanks.” The woman smiled, then sat down.

“I think I’ve seen you somewhere before. You look very familiar to me,” the woman said with certainty.

“Oh, really?” Xu Jinchen said, but didn’t care about it, because it was an old-fashioned way to strike up a conversation with someone.

The woman understood that it was a perfunctory reply, but she didn’t mind it either. “I saw you in the video of the release conference of Jade Beauty Jewelry on the Internet before.”

Hearing that, Xu Jinchen was a little surprised. It seemed that the woman recognized Xu Jinchen so she walked over to chat with him.

“I do admire Miss Gu, and I have always wanted to meet her one day,” the woman said with sincerity.

“Good luck,” Xu Jinchen said.

A few minutes later, the woman’s friend arrived, so she excused herself.

From the beginning to the end, they didn’t exchange any basic information about themselves.

After dinner, Leng Shaoting and the others didn’t leave the private room right away, but stayed inside waiting for news.

When it was about 8 pm, Leng Shaoting received a message, and left with Xin Bei.

“Ningning, are you going home, or do you want to go meet with my friends with me?” Cao Wenxin asked Gu Ning. Since Xin Bei left for his task, Cao Wenxin could go back to meet her friends for fun.

“I have something else to deal with. You can go by yourself,” Gu Ning said.

“Fine!” Cao Wenxin said and left.

After that, Gu Ning called An Guangyao.

An Guangyao just finished his dinner when Gu Ning called him. He told Gu Ning the number of his private room, and also asked her whether he should tell the others to leave, because the others didn’t know who their real boss was.

Gu Ning told him that it was fine, so An Guangyao didn’t tell the others to leave.

It wasn’t necessary for Gu Ning to hide her real identity now.

After hanging up the call with Gu Ning, An Guangyao told the others that their real boss was coming.

All the staff members in Shenghua Real Estate knew that they had a new boss, but none of them knew who their boss was, and every one of them got excited now knowing that their boss was coming.

An Guangyao directly told them that their new boss was an 18-year-old girl, In case they forgot their manners when they saw Gu Ning a while later.

Hearing that, they were all shocked. It was so hard for them to believe that their real boss was a girl who was just 18 years old.

“Chairman An, are you sure?” someone asked with doubt.

“Yes, and her name is Gu Ning, she is the founder of Jade Beauty Jewelry,” An Guangyao added.

“What? The founder of Jade Beauty Jewelry?” Everyone was shocked again, because they had all heard of Jade Beauty Jewelry. In that case, they felt that it wasn’t so surprising that Gu Ning had acquired Shenghua Real Estate.

The people around the dining table were all important figures in Shenghua Real Estate, so they soon accepted the shocking truth.

A while later, Gu Ning walked inside, and they stood up at once. “Nice to see you, boss!”

Seeing their reaction, Gu Ning understood that An Guangyao must have introduced her to them beforehand.

“Nice to see you all as well. Have a seat please!” Gu Ning said, and sounded very kind.

Afterwards, they were all seated, and Gu Ning sat right by An Guangyao’s side.

“Well, to be honest with you, I know very little about construction, so you’ll take full responsibility of this project, but there is one thing I have to tell you right now,” Gu Ning said. “Chairman An has probably told you before that rumors abound as to the so-called haunted land. I’ve done my investigation. Someone did get killed there, but there is no ghost, so please don’t worry about it.”
