The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband
Chapter 203 Rescue
After checking the auction goods temporarily stored in the warehouse for the tenth time, Wu Nan placed the list of goods in his hand on an empty box on the side and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.
It turned out that the grandfather had other intentions in keeping her in his family. Apart from anything else, she really hadn't done errands like she had done in the past few days for a long time.
And as far as she knew, the misery of the Ye family's dissolute young master was almost as severe as her own.
After a short rest, Wu Nan picked up the list of goods and walked out of the hidden warehouse, and asked the warehouse guard waiting outside to lock the warehouse again.
When she returned to Longtengju to report the situation to Meng Lingqi, she noticed a familiar car at the hotel entrance.
The license plate of Lucheng...Is it Chairman Xu from Tianyu Group who is here?
Wu Nan quickened her pace and walked to Taishan Pavilion, which was located in the core area of Longtengju. As expected, she saw Xu Yiyu and Lu Sanshi chatting with Mr. Meng at the entrance of Taishan Pavilion.
When Xu Yiyu and his companions arrived at Longtengju, they could not resist Mr. Meng's enthusiasm to be their guide, so they were led by this energetic old man to tour the entire Longtengju.
She really didn't expect that Longtengju, which didn't seem to occupy a very large area from the outside, actually occupied such a large area in such an important location in the imperial capital.
Of course, because the auction will be held tomorrow, the pavilions used by Longtengju to store some goods have been tightly sealed, so the three people only walked around roughly and did not enter many pavilions.
"Mr. Meng, this treasure auction is so large, are you the only one who is going to host and organize it? Wouldn't that be too much work?"
After touring the entire Longtengju, Lu Sanshi expressed his concern for Meng Lingqi at the right time.
"Hahaha, thank you for your concern, Mr. Lu. Of course, this auction is not just organized by this old man alone."
Meng Lingqi laughed heartily. He didn't know if it was because he loved Lu Sanshi so much, but the more he looked at Lu Sanshi, the more he liked this humble and steady boy.
"The four major families have all sent a lot of people this time. You should have seen the one from the Ye family and the one from the Wu family before. The Gu family and the Zhou family are here this time too, but the work they were assigned to is not in this area, so they should still be running around outside now."
While Meng Lingqi was explaining all this to Lu Sanshi, the three of them walked back to the Taishan Pavilion in the center.
Xu Yiyu had sharp eyes and immediately spotted Wu Nan walking towards the three of them.
The eldest daughter of the Wu family was always dressed in sportswear, but her originally youthful face was tinged with a hint of fatigue, and it was obvious that she had not had enough rest in the past few days.
After approaching the three people, Wu Nan smiled at them lightly and handed the list of goods in his hand to Meng Lingqi.
"Mr. Meng, all the warehouses have been checked, and the items on the list have been counted, and nothing is missing."
Perhaps due to physical fatigue, Wu Nan's signature smoky voice became even hoarser at the moment, but there was a sense of relief in his tone.
After reporting to Mr. Meng, Wu Nan finally turned his gaze to Xu Yiyu and greeted him with a playful smile.
"It seems that Miss Xu was very busy yesterday. I didn't see you coming."
Wu Nan glanced at Lu Sanshi who was smiling reservedly.
"Did someone hinder you from coming here to inspect the work?"
After hearing what Wu Nan said, Xu Yiyu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
The Wu family's daughter's speaking style is still the same as before. Every word is a trap, every sentence is a snare. It's hard to listen to her without being careful.
"I really don't deserve the inspection work that Miss Wu mentioned, but I did have some personal matters to deal with yesterday, so I didn't come to visit Mr. Meng in time. It's impolite of me as a junior."
Xu Yiyu followed Wu Nan's words and confessed to Mr. Meng. However, as the person who knew his baby best, Lu Sanshi was still wary of this seemingly cheerful and brave young lady of the Wu family.
It’s really tiring to talk to these kids from aristocratic families. No wonder Bao Bao doesn’t want to interact with them much.
As a completely innocent bystander, Meng Lingqi naturally spoke up to help Xu Yiyu out of the predicament.
"Nan girl, since you still have time to think and make witty remarks, why don't you take over as the on-site commander of this old man? It will be a good opportunity for me to take a break."
Meng Lingqi's half-true and half-false words made Wu Nan give up the idea of testing Xu Yiyu, and he began to re-evaluate Xu Yiyu as a person.
Even Mr. Meng, who has always been neutral, spoke up for Chairman Xu... It seems that she still thought too little of this chairman.
"I dare not take over your work, or my father will tear me apart."
Wu Nan pretended to be humble and declined, but his eyes were always on Xu Yiyu.
"It was not easy for Grandpa to release me from my confinement, so I was able to come out of my family home to take a breath. Please don't send me back again with just one word."
Xu Yiyu's pupils shrank slightly for half a second. Before Wu Nan could finish his words, he took the opportunity to continue the conversation.
"I haven't had the chance to thank Miss Wu yet. Thank you for your help before."
Xu Yiyu thanked Wu Nan with a grateful tone.
"If it weren't for Miss Wu's help, the matter in Lucheng might not have ended so quickly."
Wu Nan didn't say a single polite word to Xu, but the playful smile on his face was much more sincere: "Miss Xu, you don't have to be polite to me. I helped you before just out of convenience. Remember to treat me to a meal later to repay me for this favor."
Xu Yiyu felt a little relieved when he saw that Wu Nan did not continue to embarrass him.
"Of course it's no problem to invite Miss Wu to dinner."
Xu Yiyu's smile was still impeccable.
"However, this time I still owe Miss Wu a favor."
Meng Lingqi glanced at Lu Sanshi who was beside Xu Yiyu without interrupting the conversation. Seeing that Lu Sanshi did not look impatient at all, he stroked his white beard with a gratified smile.
Even though the girl from the Wu family made things so difficult for Xu Xiaoyou, Lu Sanshi, as his partner, could still hold back and not say anything, letting Xu Xiaoyou handle the matter himself... It has to be said that this was a manifestation of absolute trust in Xu Xiaoyou's abilities.
"As the old man says, it's better to do it today than today. It's already dinner time, isn't it? How about Xu Xiaoyou treating us to a meal at Longtengju?"
Meng Lingqi pretended not to understand the suggestions in the two people's words and gave them suggestions in a seemingly simple manner.
"I, an old man, would like to use my shameless attitude to ask you two for a meal. What do you think?"
Xu Yiyu, with cold sweat all over his back, looked at this highly respected seal engraver with gratitude, and admired his art of speaking from the bottom of his heart.
How can he be called a veteran? He was able to solve the problem so flawlessly.
"It is of course an honor for me to be honored by your presence." Xu Yiyu said modestly. "I just wonder if Miss Wu would be willing to do me the honor?"
Since Mr. Meng, who is of a transcendent status, has spoken, how could Wu Nan not respond? Besides, she really didn't have anything else to do today, so it was fine for her to have a meal.
It seems that she should try to test Mr. Xu's attitude less in the future, because it seems that no matter where she meets her, there will always be someone to speak up for her and help her out.
"With Elder Meng guarding the place, I naturally couldn't ask for more."
Wu Nan made up his mind almost instantly: from now on, he should just keep his interactions with Mr. Xu simple and bring out the habits he had developed in his family. Wu Nan himself was actually quite tired.
So at noon today, there were four more guests in Junshan Pavilion in Longtengju.
