Chapter 197: Chapter 197: What, You Like It?
Lu Zhanxing couldn’t quite put his finger on the feeling.
It was just that the sense of incongruity his sister gave him was too strong.
He shook his head, thinking it would be useless to ponder over it now, and better to ask her directly tomorrow.

After the charity gala ended, Xun Minzhi received a call from her father.
“Did you find Professor Qiao?”
“I didn’t find her.”
Xun Minzhi frowned, “Dad, are you sure you’re not mistaken? I didn’t see anyone who matched Professor Qiao’s description.”
“I used my connections to confirm it, Professor Qiao indeed came, you just didn’t recognize her! How could you not recognize her!”
“You can’t blame me for that.”
Xun Minzhi said grievously, “I don’t even know what Professor Qiao looks like, I only know she’s a young woman. She’s just a professor, Dad, do you really have to be this anxious and concerned?”
“You don’t understand, Professor Qiao is no ordinary person, and this collaboration is very important to us.”
Because Shengqiao suddenly withdrew funds, the shareholders were very dissatisfied with him, and he could only talk directly to Professor Qiao. If the negotiations failed, his position as chairman would be at risk.
“It looks like I’ll have to wait for the symposium; I will go myself then.”
“Dad, I can go,” Xun Minzhi still wanted to show her capabilities in front of her father, “I will make sure it’s handled properly this time.”
Her father considered for a moment, “Alright, you must handle it properly.”
Xun Minzhi readily agreed, it was just a professor, how could she not manage that?
At worst, she could use money to bribe.
After hanging up the phone, she called a private detective.
“Find out who Lu Zhanxing has been in contact with recently.”
Today Lu Zhanxing attended the gala in a multimillion-dollar outfit, wearing a limited edition watch.
She felt as if Lu Zhanxing was searing her cheeks with hot tongs, it was simply a slap in her face.
She didn’t believe Lu Zhanxing could secure the sponsorship on his own; someone must be helping him from behind the scenes.
Now everyone knows she has her sights set on Lu Zhanxing, yet someone dared to compete with her.
The temper of Miss Xun Minzhi flared up, and once she found out who it was, she would make them pay.
“I advise you to give up on Lu Zhanxing.”
Xia You had come with Xun Minzhi today, naturally, they would leave together.
Being a second-generation star, he wasn’t afraid of Xun Minzhi.
Xun Minzhi sneered, “In my life, the word ‘give up’ doesn’t exist. There’s only what I want and what I don’t want.”
“I think he’s not that simple, do you really know Lu Zhanxing?”
Xia You thought of Qi Dashao personally welcoming Lu Zhanxing and started to doubt Lu Zhanxing’s background.
“Ha, what background can he have? I had him thoroughly investigated. He studied abroad in the past and only came back to the country a few years ago. If he really had a powerful background, he wouldn’t have been oppressed by me like this.”
Xun Minzhi liked Lu Zhanxing, she had never liked someone this much.
Yet, in rejection after rejection, her affection eroded into resentment.
Xia You couldn’t care less to comment on Xun Minzhi’s methods, “Don’t go too far with the newbie around Lu Zhanxing.”
“What, you’re interested?” Xun Minzhi scoffed.
“Just mutual needs. What Lu Zhanxing can give her, I can too, and even more.”
Xia You had dated so many ‘girlfriends’ yet had never encountered someone like Qiao Yun.
Her indifferent glances stirred an irresistible itch in his heart.
“I’m just waiting for you to drive her away from Lu Zhanxing’s side, then I’ll come in to offer comfort.”
Xun Minzhi rolled her eyes, “Play all you want, just don’t cause any major scandals for me.”
Xia You smiled nonchalantly, “If it really causes a big scandal, just throw some resources and money at it.”
This wasn’t his first time doing this.
In this circle, there were too many women who wanted to be famous, he didn’t even need to lift a finger to have them flock to him.
Seeing the uniquely captivating Qiao Yun only increased his desire to conquer her.
