148 Meeting Again
Zhang Hua tactfully left the office with the people beside him. Similarly, Zhou Xuan instructed Han Lin and Chen Yan to leave first.
Right at this moment, only four people were left in the office. Zhou Xuan glanced at Zhou Yang and gestured for him to speak first.
“Shan Yue, I’ve been looking for a chance to thank you for so long. Without you, I wouldn’t be able to stand here now. Thank you for saving my life. If you need me in the future, just tell me. I’ll definitely do my best to help you!”
Because Old Master Zhang was still sitting beside her, Shan Yue was very polite. “It’s okay. Saving you was just a matter of convenience. Moreover, the more direct reason why I saved you was for money. But…”
Shan Yue stared into Zhou Xuan’s eyes and suddenly raised her voice to add, her voice filled with teasing. “I didn’t expect the life of the nephew of the head of the largest corporation in the Federation’s central city to be only worth a million yuan.”
Shan Yue could feel that Zhou Xuan seemed to be quite interested in her. In that case, she might as well take the opportunity to ask for more benefits to save the Zhou family from pestering her.
After Shan Yue finished speaking, an embarrassed expression clearly appeared on Zhou Xuan’s face. Back then, he had let Zhou Yang decide how much he wanted to give. He did not expect Zhou Yang to take his life so lightly.
Zhou Xuan reacted quickly. “Money is not a problem. As long as Miss Shan needs it, our Zhou family can afford it.”
When Shan Yue heard this, she smiled. “Since Young Master Zhou has spoken, I’ll accept it respectfully. I’ll thank the Zhou family first!” With that, she walked to her desk and found a pen and paper. She quickly wrote down a string of numbers and turned to hand it to Zhou Yang. “Again, the card number is here. How much you give depends on your sincerity.”
Shan Yue thought to herself that she wanted to see how much Young Master Zhou’s nephew’s life was worth.
Zhang Huang looked at the juniors and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl into a faint smile. His wrinkled face was still filled with smiles. “Alright, alright. You’re all elites from all walks of life, but you’re bickering like children now. It’ll be a huge joke if others hear you.”
Zhou Xuan returned to his usual coldness. He waved his hand and picked up the tea on the table to taste it carefully. He pursed his lips. “This tea is really ordinary.” He turned to Zhou Yang and said, “Go buy some good tea leaves and treat it as a gift for Miss Shan for our first meeting.”
“How can you give tea leaves for the first time? What can’t our Zhou family afford?” Zhou Yang couldn’t help but complain. Actually, he knew very well that this was just a random excuse for him to go, so he chose to listen. He said goodbye and left the office.
“Tell me, what’s the matter? You specially sent Zhou Yang away. You don’t really want to give me tea leaves, right?” Shan Yue crossed her legs leisurely. “As the head of the Zhou family, is there anything a weak woman like me can help with?”
Zhang Huang quickly explained to Zhou Xuan and adjusted their relationship. “Child, you’ve misunderstood. Zhou Xuan came this time to accompany me. I have something to ask you.”
Shan Yue still respected this elegant old man very much. After putting down her legs, she moved to sit beside Zhang Huang.
Zhang Huang held Shan Yue’s hand. The more he looked at Shan Yue, the more pleasing she became. He even wanted her to be his granddaughter-in-law. However, this thought only flashed across his mind. He first revealed his purpose for coming today. “Child, what’s the relationship between Shan Xing and you?”
“Sister by blood.”
“Originally, we came for the two of you. One is a mathematical genius, and the other is a medical expert. Where can we find such a pair of talents? From the looks of it, Shan Xing is an imposter. We missed.” Zhang Huang’s eyes were filled with disappointment. “But Grandpa still wants to ask you, are you willing to come to the Capital University?”
Although Shan Yue did not intend to agree, she still pretended to think for a while. “I’m sorry, Grandpa Zhang. I can’t agree to you.”
Three times!
Shan Yue had rejected the invitation of the Capital University three times in a row. If word got out, everyone would think that Shan Yue was brainless for rejecting the invitation of the best university in the central city. If it were anyone else, they would have happily gone to pay respects to their ancestors.
