Chapter 453: After the Interview

t's being gnawed on by thousands of ants. It's a numb, tingling emptiness."Yi Muyang, is there any way to contact the outside world" She wanted to hear his voice and also let him know she was safe."I'...President Wang is a talent scout. He wouldn't mind waiting a month, let alone a whole semester.

He asked with concern, “Teacher Gu, looking at your resume, I see that your father passed away many years ago. Did your mother remarry Dealing with personal matters is a family affair.”

He is both concerned about talent and needs a basic understanding of the family situation of teachers who join the school. So, what seems like an unintentional question is actually purposeful.

"After my mother remarried, we lost touch. I'd like to visit her before I start my new job, and also... there's the matter of my own personal life. The man I've loved for years is now single, and I want to see if there's still a chance for us."

The Dean didn't expect her to be so candid, which was a bit surprising and also awkward, since he hadn't intended to pry into people's romantic lives.

"People who come back from abroad are just different, so open and straightforward. So I smiled and said, 'I wish Teacher Gu will find love soon.'"

Work is settled, Gu Ruannuan let out a long sigh of relief. From now on, she could rely on herself to be independent in the world. She was finally an independent individual, how wonderful.

The scenery of Senzhou University was beautiful. The sunset slowly fell from the edge of the lake in the campus, and the afterglow shone on the surface of the lake, making it sparkle with golden light. She sat by the lake for a while before leaving.

My phone rang. I looked down and saw it was my mother calling.

"Gu Ruannuan, what are you doing"

"Daydreaming by the lake."

The other party was choked, and after a few seconds: "You still have the leisure to daydream, did you ask Gu Ruandong for money"

"I can't do that." She recalled what Lawyer Shu had said, finding a third-party institution to assess the property or personally asking Gu Ruandong for that document wouldn't be easy.

"What if that doesn't work If I don't buy a house for your brother, his girlfriend will break up with him."

"Oh, if it comes to that, I guess I'll have to jump into the lake."

"What are you talking about"

"Just hang up if you're done. I'll take care of the inheritance."

She hung up the phone. The sunset by the lake was gone, and the surface of the lake had lost its golden shimmer, becoming very calm. She patted her skirt and stood up, walking out of the school.

As I reached the school gate, I saw a particularly eye-catching black sedan parked by the roadside. The driver's side window was open, and the man inside was wearing sunglasses. He leaned one hand against the car window, seemingly nonchalantly watching the people coming and going at the school gate.

Many students couldn't help but glance at him as he entered and exited. The car was a rare luxury vehicle, and he himself was an uncommonly handsome man. From Gu Ruoru's perspective, the entire scene looked like something out of a magazine cover.

She recalled what she had just said to the dean: "I've liked a man for many years and he is now single. I want to see if I still have a chance."

I also remembered what Lu Yaoyao had told me: "My brother's girlfriend for many years got married, and now my brother has given up completely."

At that time, she was attending a design exhibition abroad. When she heard Lu Yaoyao talk about it, she smiled foolishly for a long time holding her phone alone.

She walked straight to his car, standing in front of it without saying a word.

Lu Kuo had been thinking about something else just now. He waited for her for so long before she came out, his mind was a bit blank, until he saw her standing in front of him, he gently tugged at the corner of his lips.

“Teacher Gu, is the interview over”

This time it was Teacher Gu, and he wasn't bringing any sarcasm. Beneath the aloof, nonchalant exterior, his tone was surprisingly genuine for the first time.

"You've been here the whole time, waiting for me" It's been at least three hours.

"Of course, I couldn't let the innocent Mr. Gu go home alone by taxi." After a serious three seconds, he started again.

But this time, he finally picked up his long-abandoned chivalry and proactively got out of the car, walked around to the passenger side, and opened the door for her, inviting her in.

"Get in the car."

Gu Ruanruan obediently got into the car. She couldn't help but think, how could this person's attitude have changed so drastically in just three hours

"At school, you should give Teacher Gu a bit of face."

"Thanks then."

Lu Kuò saw her sitting in the passenger seat. She looked just like a college student, not like a university professor at all. He wondered if she'd be bullied by her students

Deliver her to Lu Yaoyao's house, and today's mission will be accomplished.

The car pulled up downstairs, but Gu Ruannuan didn't get out. She didn't unbuckle her seatbelt either. Turning to him, she said, "Lu Kuò, I'll treat you to a meal."

"Dinner with me" he mused, eyeing Gu Ruiruan. He thought to himself, "Nothing good happens without a reason. They must have something up their sleeve." He was about to decline.

"Well, I'd like to treat you to a meal. I got an offer from Senzhou University today and want to celebrate, but it seems YaoYao isn't home."

"Alright," Lu Kuo said after hearing her. He thought it made sense, they should celebrate, so he agreed.

"Wait for me for a moment, I'll go change my clothes." Gu Ruanruan got out of the car and went home to change.

Lu Kuo thought to himself, girls are just trouble. Anyway, he had been waiting for her all afternoon, so what was another few minutes

It took almost half an hour to change clothes.

Gu Ruanruan finally appeared, wearing a long dress with a high collar, high heels, and hair softly curled and falling on both sides of her shoulders. Her earrings sparkled, and her whole body was graceful. As she walked over, the hem of her skirt rose slightly, swaying like a willow in the wind.

This neighborhood already has many stars living in it, so whenever a passerby looked over, they would think she was a star too and couldn't help but take a few extra glances.

Lu Kuo was still lazily sitting in the car. When he saw her come out, his eyes were still listless. He just thought to himself, how could he have thought she looked like a college student What about her looked like a college student

Gu Ruanruan lightly lifted her skirt and sat in the co-pilot's seat. She smelled faintly of perfume, Lu Kuo smiled, it actually smelled quite good, light and faint, coming over subtly.

"What do you want to eat I'll treat you today, celebrating you getting the offer from Senzhou University."

Gu Ruirui: "This time you invited me, next time I'll invite you."

"What do you want to eat"

"You make the decision, since you're asking me." Gu Ruanruan rarely got hung up on such trivial matters.

Since the young lady was dressed so formally, Lu Kuo felt awkward about taking her to an ordinary restaurant. He navigated to a high-end Western restaurant nearby.

Gu Ru's phone vibrated with a WeChat message. She glanced down and saw it was from Lu YaoYao.

"How are things going Are you on board"

"Get in the car."

"Was my brother amazed by your outfit"

"You don't seem to be impressed at all." Gu Ruanruan glanced at Lu Kuo from the corner of her eye. He was still as nonchalant as ever, not even twitching an eyebrow when he saw her come out.

"Listen, my brother is such a player. The calmer he acts, the more excited he actually is. This outfit you're wearing It was made for him. There's no way he hasn't noticed."ened last night I said I wouldn't drink, but you got me drunk."Gu Ruandong remained calm, not even raising an eyelid as he said, “You got yourself drunk.”"Damn it, I wouldn't do something that stupid....
