Coming straight out of the university, three ladies had walked together as companions. One went on to the bright path of stardom and became a popular female celebrity, one was prepared to be the editor of a food column for a magazine—only Lin Nuan was taking a small step on the path to being an anchor.
And once, amongst the trio, Bai Xiaonian's dream to be a news anchor was the strongest and most determined.
Because her mother was once the best news anchor on national television, she had won countless news awards on an international level.
Ever since Bai Xiaonian's mother passed away, becoming an anchor for the national television's late-night news had become the goal Bai Xiaonian had chased after.
Lin Nuan picked up the keys she had just placed down on the shoe cabinet and said to Bai Xiaonian, "Let's go out to eat."
…
Once Lin Nuan left, facing Haicheng TV Station's vice president's flattery, Tang Zheng felt bored.
Halfway through the meal, Tang Zheng pretended to receive a call and left saying he had urgent business.
Once he was in the car, Tang Zheng called Fu Huai'an as he lit up a cigarette. Once he heard the call get picked up, he threw the lighter onto the passenger seat beside him and started up the car, asking, "Where are you, Old Fu? If you haven't eaten lunch yet let's go have a meal together?"
Tang Zheng knew that Fu Huai'an was a workaholic so he likely hadn't eaten at that time, and so he called over to ask, and of course, that was the answer he got.
Hanging up, Tang Zheng drove to the building of the Kaide Corporation to fetch Fu Huai'an.
By the time Tang Zheng arrived, Fu Huai'an was still in the middle of settling work.
He leaned on the big office desk with a cigarette in his mouth, signing documents while instructing his assistant Little Lu, "Hong Yuan's branch company wants to meet in Shanghai next week, you give Vice President Dong a call and tell him to knock some sense into Hong Yuan's manager. Tell him to lie low these next few days…"
"Alright!" Little Lu nodded his head and put away the documents before nodding at Tang Zheng and leaving.
Tang Zheng watched as Fu Huai'an let out a puff of white smoke and extinguished the cigarette while he sat down on the couch, asking, "Can we go already?"
Fu Huai'an nodded, walking around his desk to pick up the suit jacket laying over the back of the sofa chair as well as the box of cigarettes and lighter on the desk. He casually took out yet another cigarette, asking, "What do you want to eat?" Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.
Tang Zheng originally wanted to convince Fu Huai'an to smoke less, but he himself had a cigarette between his fingers so his words changed as they reached his mouth.
"Your addiction to smoking is growing.""
Fu Huai'an put on his jacket and he remained silent as white smoke rose from the corner of his lips..
…
After Tang Zheng returned to his home country, he had been missing the taste of the Sichuan cuisine in the country. Haicheng's best Sichuan cuisine chef worked in Shu Garden, so Fu Huai'an chose to eat at Shu Garden.
Once the duo parked the car and got off, Tang Zheng saw Lin Nuan and Bai Xiaonian sitting by the window.
"Didn't she go to the hospital from an alcohol allergy?"
Tang Zheng saw a few empty bottles of beer on Lin Nuan's and Bai Xiaonian's table, and he couldn't bring himself to believe that the light amber liquid in the glass in front of Lin Nuan was tea.
Finally processing it, Tang Zheng was truly impressed by Lin Nuan—she used the self-harming action to escape…
Seeing Fu Huai'an look over at him, Tang Zheng explained, "At noon I met up with the vice president of the Haicheng TV Station for a meal and asked specifically for Lin Nuan to come. I planned to pick on her and then when it was about time I'd call you over so you can rescue your damsel in distress. I didn't think that Lin Nuan would leave after one cup of liquor with the excuse of being allergic to alcohol. I was even prepared to apologize to you for this matter later during our meal, I didn't expect that once I turned around she would be drinking with the person meant to drive her to the hospital… Don't you think this is all rather interesting?"
