Chapter Seventeen: Interview & Date

  Mr. Dongfang was silent for a moment and said: "I plan to do real estate development in Haichuan, and also because I haven't returned home for a long time, so I'll take the opportunity to see my old friends."

  I quickly wrote these down.

  "So, you..." Vier hadn't even had time to ask when Mr. Dong cut him off.

  "Ouyang Yue? Is that right? Why did you call me Yue?" This time he finally looked up at me, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

  "Huh? Actually, I also asked my dad about it, he said he hopes I'm happy every day, so that's why I was named 'Yue'. Does Mr. Dong have anyone around him with the name 'Yue'?" I said softly.

  "No!" he replied firmly.

  "Oh, I see!" I smiled awkwardly and said: "Can we ask the next question then?"

  It's almost time now because there are only ten minutes left, so ask as many questions as you can.

  "Knock, knock, knock..." Someone was knocking on the door.

  "Come in," said Mr. Dongfang.

  The door opened and in came the man with black-framed glasses, who walked respectfully to the side of the desk and said: "Chairman, the manager of Li's Enterprise has come to discuss contract matters with you. He is waiting for you in the conference room now. Are you going there now or..."

  "Now go!" After finishing, he closed the file folder and stood up to walk towards the door. Just as he was about to leave, he stopped and said to the person wearing black-framed glasses: "Send them two back home."

  "Yes." said the bespectacled man respectfully.

  Isn't it? Is that all there is to it? We came all the way here, enduring hardships and difficulties, even crawling through dog holes, being chased by dogs, and almost getting thrown out by security guards. And we only got to ask one question? It's not worth it!

  Until the sound of their footsteps faded away, Wei'er said with a sad face: "He's really too 'special'! Is he really that busy? We came in vain!"

  "It's okay, wasn't that just a key question? Although it was only one sentence, it was also exclusive!" I patted Vera's shoulder and comforted her.

  "Hmm, you're right, we've already made up our minds!"

  After that, Wei Er and I were safely sent home by the driver of the Dongfang family. We had exclusive news, so we didn't have to worry about it anymore. Now we can rest assured, right? All of this still has to thank Gu Yue Xuan! If it weren't for him, Wei Er and I wouldn't know what to do now! I dialed the number that Gu Yue Xuan gave me.

  "Hello! Hello!" came Gu Yue Xuan's voice from the other end of the phone.

  "Is it Gu Yue Xuan? I am Ouyang Yue, I have come to thank you!" I said excitedly.

  "Oh? Long-haired girl, it's you! I thought you lost my phone number!"

  "Hehe, I went to the address you gave me and did an interview. The news article will be ready by Monday."

  "What? You've interviewed Mr. Dongfang?" He sounded a bit surprised.

  "Really, thank you so much!"

  "Oh! So that's it! Your luck is really good! How are you going to thank me then?"

  "Huh?" I really hadn't thought of that! I thought just saying thank you would be enough.

  "Are you free now? Let's go watch a movie! I heard there's a new one showing!"

  "Ouyang Luo said I couldn't go out..."

  "What? Aren't you going to thank me? Is this your sincerity?" Gu Yue Xuan seemed a bit angry.

  But Ou Yang Luo didn't let me and Shan Ruo Feng go watch a movie, he didn't say we can't go with others though! If asked, this reason should be fine!

  "No, I really want to thank you, but watching a movie seems impossible because it's too late. Can I invite you for coffee instead?"

  "Uh? Alright! 7 o'clock tonight, meet at Qiguang Square! Bye!" He hung up the phone in a hurry.

  I took a look at the watch and there was still half an hour before 7 o'clock, I had to hurry up and leave. I changed my clothes, combed my hair, and went out. Fortunately, Ouyang Luo hadn't returned home yet, and Yezi had also gone to dance class. I told He Nai that I was going to see a friend and asked them not to wait for me at night.

  I don't know why, but it seems like there's a lot of traffic today. Looking at my watch, it's already past 7 o'clock.

  When I arrived at the Qiguang Square, I saw Gu Yue Xuan beside the fountain. He was wearing a white shirt and black casual pants today, his golden hair was very eye-catching, many girls were staring at him foolishly, but he seemed to have noticed nothing, holding his phone and playing games there. That should be the focus of the square.

  I walked up to her and said: "Sorry, I'm late, you must have waited for a long time!"

  "What's up? I've already passed several levels of the game. If you're any later, I think I can break the record." He complained.

  "Because of the traffic jam, I..." I hastily explained.

  "Go buy ice cream, I want strawberry flavor!" He pointed to the small ice cream house on one side of the square.

  "Ah? Oh......" I ran to the ice cream hut and bought two ice creams, rushing back hastily, afraid they would melt quickly.

  "Here! For you, strawberry flavor, your luck is really good, this is the last one of strawberry flavor!" I handed the ice cream to Gu Yue Xuan and sat down beside him.

  Gu Yue Xuan took the ice cream and said: "Long-haired girl, I really want to ask you a question!"

  "I'm not a long-haired girl, I have a name. My name is..."

  "Ouyang Yue, I know." He said with a mouthful of ice cream.

  "Then why do you still call me Long Hair Girl?"

  "Wow, your hair is so long! Why did you grow it out this long?"

  "Hehe, actually I had short hair when I was a kid! But later on, I didn't want to cut it anymore, even if I did, I only cut a little bit, so that's why my hair is this long now."

  When I was a kid, I always had short hair. One day, I just got my hair cut and ran to Ou Yang's face, showing off and saying: "Brother, look at my new haircut, mom said I'm very cute, don't you think so?" Ou Yang gave me a cold, expressionless glance and said: "You're ugly to death."

  I don't know if it was because of Ouyang Lu's sentence "ugly to death" but from then on I never cut my hair short again, my hair has always been long.

  "Hey, what are you thinking about?" Gu Yue Xuan pushed me gently.

  "No, nothing!" I added some ice cream and said.
