Lu Jinnan kept silent on the other end of the line .
Fu Huai'an hung up the phone .
The car slowly started its engine .
Fu Huai'an put out the cigar in his hands, rolled up the windows, and closed his eyes to take a brief rest .
Lin Nuan had ended her live broadcast for the morning news . As she was removing her makeup in the makeup room, Miss Summer's assistant Yang Yuze came to inform Lin Nuan to stay a while longer… there was a lunch meeting at noon and the chief director had especially called for Miss Summer to attend it together with Lin Nuan .
“Not sure if it was the sponsor or the chief director who named you . Miss Summer just told me to remind you to be prepared for the lunch meeting this afternoon . ”
( Boxno vel . co m ) Lin Nuan held the cotton soaked with makeup remover in her hand and smiled at Yang Yuze . “Help me thank Miss Summer!”
Lin Nuan had been inwardly prepared for that situation, yet with it actually happening she couldn't help feeling a bit of panic .
If the sponsor was the one who wanted Lin Nuan to attend, the meaning behind it was self-explanatory .
If it was the chief director who named her to attend the meeting, then he must be trying to do justice to his niece . If so… the sponsor she had to face that afternoon would be a problem .
No matter what, it was already quite rare for Miss Summer to let somebody come and remind her in advance .
Lin Nuan wasn't completely unable to get out of a situation like that . She was allergic to sweet potatoes—she even had a bag of sweet potato powder in her purse . As long as she could control the dosage it would be understandable if she couldn't attend the meeting when she started showing allergic symptoms .
But Lin Nuan was clear inside that she couldn't use the tactic very often, because, in the scenario that she genuinely did need it, it would essentially be useless .
Luckily, today's meeting was at noon and not in the evening .
Lin Nuan removed her makeup and dozed off in the makeup room .
By the time Miss Summer came to call for Lin Nuan, she noticed that she was wearing a most ordinary pale pink V-collar shirt as well as black long pants with white shoes . She didn't have any makeup on and had tied her hair into a neat ponytail . She didn't intentionally make herself look glamorous and attractive just because she was attending the sponsored lunch meeting .
Miss Summer grew more and more fond of Lin Nuan .
Lin Nuan was indeed smart… and grounded—she didn't consider taking shortcuts .
“I've heard that the new sponsor this time came from overseas . He's relatively young and since he advanced his career abroad we have no idea what his personality is like . Later, be more open-minded during the meeting . I know you're smart, but it wouldn't be wise for you to offend the sponsor by playing smart…”
Miss Summer said to her as Lin Nuan followed her into the elevator .
The “smart” that Miss Summer mentioned may have been a reference to her slapping Gu Weiwei yesterday .
MIss Summer pressed the elevator and continued, “This is your first time accompanying a sponsor in a meal . Be sure of your alcohol tolerance and don't be a hero . Otherwise, don't blame me when the management sees you as an official escort…”
Lin Nuan nodded . “I understand, Miss Summer . Thank you . ”
She was able to discern the good from bad in people . Although Miss Summer looked cold and spoke with a sharp tone, Lin Nuan could still tell that she meant well .
She clutched her square purse and decided to say that she was allergic to alcohol .
Lin Nuan knew that despite that, the leaders and sponsors on their high horses would still persuade her to drink . Men would be men . She hadn't heard of such situations .
Miss Summer was right . It was Lin Nuan's first time accompanying sponsors for a meetup meal . If she pulled off the alcohol intolerance card she could at least avoid some of these meetups in the future .
With a plan in her heart, Lin Nuan felt much more at ease .
The chief director booked the lunch at the Manjiang tower .
Manjiang tower had a hundred years' worth of history in Ocean City and was both an icon and symbol of the city's architecture . It was located at the Qujiang business zone near the sea .
