She Isn't Jealous of You-She Envies You
Gao Yening moved to another table, where the two girls who had struck up a conversation with Liu Chang'an were sitting.
Liu Yuewang has stopped accepting his endorsements, and he can't even contact her now. Gao Yening has no choice but to continue his business and keep the brand running.
So I arranged to meet with two online influencers, and if they were a good fit, I planned to sign them to do a series of promotional endorsements for the herbal tea.
An elegant and beautiful woman like Liu Yuewang can naturally establish the refined and mellow image of flower tea. However, these online celebrities also have market value. GG's advertising targets consumers with purchasing power but very Volkswagen aesthetic tastes.
Aesthetic taste is something that is often difficult to improve throughout one's life, much like the inferiority complex rooted in one's heart in childhood, or a crushed knee—it is a very stubborn state.
Gao Yening sat down, but her mind wasn't on the matter at hand. Why had An Nuan reacted so strongly just now?
She wouldn't actually go and ask Liu Yuewang to block him, would she?
"Mr. Gao, is he someone we know?"
Gao Yening came to his senses. He knew these two internet celebrities. He had approached them for collaboration when he was just starting out in the early stages of his business and first began working on marketing.
The mixed-race girl's real name is Chen Yannan, which is a very local name. The other girl is named Song Lianlian.
"Yeah, someone I know." Gao Yening glanced over there again. "That girl, isn't she pretty?"
"It looks good, but it seems like she's not interested in President Gao," Song Lianlian said with a smile.
"Of course I'm not interested in her, she has a boyfriend." Gao Yening has never had the habit of flirting with girls who have boyfriends; do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
"Is her boyfriend that guy with the mighty Vajra Finger?" Chen Yannan pointed subtly at Liu Chang'an.
Since he was an acquaintance of Gao Yening, he must be a young and talented man, so Chen Yannan didn't want to point fingers too openly, lest he offend someone.
"What's this 'Vajra Finger' technique?" Gao Yening asked in surprise.
Song Lianlian then recounted how the two of them had struck up a conversation with Liu Chang'an.
"He's no ordinary person." Gao Yening wasn't surprised. If his girlfriend were a beauty like Liu Yuewang or An Nuan, he wouldn't be interested in any girl who tried to chat him up. "He's definitely skilled in martial arts. I'm envious."
"What's the use of all that kung fu? When it comes to chasing girls, can all that kung fu even beat Mr. Gao's Ferrari?" Song Lianlian teased.
"Why is it useless?" Gao Yening sighed. "The woman I like requires her suitors to be both scholarly and martial."
Chen Yannan and Song Lianlian couldn't help but burst out laughing. In this day and age, who would ask their boyfriend to be both scholarly and martial? As girls, they knew perfectly well that this was just a casual excuse to reject someone.
"So the woman you like, could it be that she likes this man? Otherwise, why would she make such a request?" Chen Yannan sensed a hint of gossip.
"How could that be? The woman I like is eight years older than me, and this guy is her daughter's boyfriend." Gao Yening didn't mind others knowing that the woman he was pursuing was so much older than him and had such a grown daughter.
Anyone who has ever met Liu Yuewang knows that his pursuit is perfectly normal.
"My goodness... Mr. Gao, your taste is truly exceptional." Chen Yannan and Song Lianlian exchanged a glance and burst out laughing in amazement.
Young women often have a strong sense of superiority over women who are older than them.
"Alright, let's get down to business." Gao Yening was too lazy to explain. She figured if they didn't feel inferior when they met Liu Yuewang, that would be a good thing.
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Professor Ling suddenly remembered some fabricated matters, picked up his spoon, swirled it in the tea, put down his cup, and prepared to get up, saying to himself, "Oh dear, I have some things to take care of, I'll be going now."
"Sit down." Liu Yuewang couldn't let her leave. How could she allow Old Ling to just walk away after seeing others make a fool of themselves?
Professor Ling had no choice but to sit down again, glancing at Liu Yuewang and then at Liu Chang'an.
"You two are laughing at me in your hearts right now, aren't you?" Liu Yuewang around, feeling both ashamed and indignant.
"No," Liu Chang'an shook his head, saying apologetically, "I already laughed out loud just now."
After all, he could have controlled it, and he failed to do so, which is somewhat shameful for someone with such strong body control.
Professor Ling finally burst out laughing. It's worth noting that women generally have less control over their physiological functions than men, including their ability to hold their urine. For example, they smile more easily and cry more easily.
Liu Yuewang wanted to pour a whole pot of tea over Liu Chang'an's head, then stuff Professor Ling's mouth with other snacks, to see if they could still laugh.
"The funny thing about this is that Gao Yening made a fool of herself because she couldn't tell my true identity." Liu Yuewang felt that she couldn't continue to be angry and embarrassed. If she just acted ashamed and indignant, wouldn't that only confirm that what Gao Yening said was true? She had to clarify that things were not as Gao Yening described at all.
"Yes." Whatever she says is right.
"That day, Gao Yening came to see me, and you all insisted that I find a place to talk to him alone. So I said... what I said was that young people nowadays should focus their energy on their careers and improving themselves, like An Nuan's girlfriend... no, An Nuan's boyfriend, who is barely multi-talented. Gao Yening should learn from him." Liu Yuewang felt she had made herself clear. She understood the principle that the more you say, the more mistakes you make, and said emphatically, "That's all!"
"There's no need to learn from me; you won't be able to." Liu Chang'an nodded. "I also think that's just how it is... Professor Liu should be full of blessings, why would she be so sour?"
"Exactly." After saying that, Liu Yuewang thought of An Nuan's bottom and decided to find a chance to beat her up. If it weren't for An Nuan finding such a boyfriend, would Liu Yuewang have embarrassed herself today? So, blessings are blessings, but she still has to get beaten up.
This intention cannot be revealed now. Liu Chang'an dotes on his girlfriend. If he finds out, he might use this opportunity to settle a personal score, showing no mercy even to his future mother-in-law. He would be utterly ruthless.
Liu Yuewang then looked at Professor Ling.
"Actually, there's no problem. If I were twenty years younger, I wouldn't date someone like Lao Han; I'd prefer a young man like Liu Chang'an," Professor Ling said frankly. Lao Liu's reaction was a bit too intense; he just found Gao Yening amusing.
Liu Chang'an, a young man like that... Liu Yuewang glared at Liu Chang'an resentfully, then raised her hand to her chest.
Liu Yuewang vaguely discovered the most crucial issue: this face cream could make people look younger if consumed.
Liu Chang'an also said that if you eat too much, you will age faster.
If a woman can age, then a young man can naturally become an old man.
"So that's how it is," Liu Yuewang glared at Liu Chang'an resentfully, then got up and hurriedly went back to her room.
"I'm going up too," Professor Ling said to Liu Chang'an with a smile.
"Alright, see you tomorrow." Liu Chang'an smiled; today's training was over.
"See you tomorrow."
After Liu Chang'an paid the bill, he received a text message from An Nuan, who had finished her class and come over to take care of her mother.
Liu Chang'an still had two classes to teach, so after checking the time, he leisurely left the hotel.
When An Nuan arrived at the hotel, she and Liu Chang'an did not meet in the commercial street passage connecting the underground level of Baolong Center and the subway.
An Nuan walked in through the main entrance of the hotel and saw Gao Yening, who had driven Ferrari and was holding flowers when she confessed her love to her mother that day.
An Nuan was impressed by the flower tea developed by Gao Yening. It looked particularly beautiful when steeped in water, and the taste was also okay, after all, it was a tea drink that Liu Chang'an commented was "average".
"An Nuan... I was talking about something and didn't see you leave." Gao Yening quickly came to greet her.
An Nuan was slightly puzzled. She was at school just now... Her eyes darted around, and she immediately understood. She quickly suppressed the puzzled expression that was about to show and gave a polite smile.
Gao Yening will meet her mother, but she'll mistake her for An Nuan, so there probably won't be any embarrassing incidents like confessing her feelings again. An Nuan is curious about what it would be like if Professor Liu and her daughter switched identities.
"I sincerely apologize to you here. I shouldn't have said your mother was being sarcastic." Gao Yening was worried that An Nuan would speak ill of him to Liu Yuewang; what hope was there then?
When pursuing someone of the opposite sex who has children, any normal person who hasn't lost their mind will consider how the child feels about the suitor. If the suitor can't even win the child's favor, then the difficulty of the pursuit will increase significantly.
"Oh... then what should you say?" An Nuan smiled and nodded, remaining composed. She knew that Professor Liu didn't consider being pursued by a younger man something to be proud of, and even felt somewhat ashamed. So, if An Nuan asked her directly, she definitely wouldn't get any interesting gossip.
"The standards your mother set that day were indeed based on Liu Chang'an. Everyone would envy you having such an outstanding boyfriend. Your mother is no exception; she probably also wants someone like him. So this isn't sour grapes... it's envy. She envies your boyfriend's excellence, his versatility, his many talents... It's only natural. If she were twenty years younger, she might even be competing with you... Haha, just kidding. I didn't mean to disrespect Professor Liu; she's my goddess." Gao Yening's tone was casual yet not abrupt, slightly humorous yet controlling the tone of her joke, demonstrating excellent conversational skills.
However, Gao Yening noticed that An Nuan's face flushed red and then turned pale, and the way she looked at him clearly didn't seem to be admiring him.
Gao Yening was a little flustered.
"I'm going to get my mom to block you." An Nuan said, then turned and left without looking back. She was furious; she hated it most when people casually brought it up as a joke!
Gao Yening stood there, watching An Nuan leave, stunned. Why did An Nuan get angry no matter what she said? Gao Yening couldn't help but start to doubt herself. Was her conversational skill not as good as she thought?
