Chapter 184 Good buddy
Qin Nuo smiled faintly, his smile as warm and gentle as the spring sun. He gently patted Bai Nini's shoulder and said soothingly, "Don't worry, dear Nini. Although according to the family plan, I should take over Shenghai in the future, don't forget my father is still here! You see, even my grandfather is still in control of Shenghai, so there is no need for me to worry too much about things over there for the time being. And to be honest, I would rather create my own business through my own efforts and live my life according to my true wishes. I firmly believe that even without Shenghai as a support, I can still carve out a broad world in the business world!"
Bai Nini tilted her face slightly, resting her head gently on Qin Nuo's broad, warm chest. Her long, silky hair cascaded down his collar, like a beautiful painting. She raised her eyes, gazing at Qin Nuo with a watery gaze, and whispered softly, "I truly don't want anything to happen between you and your loved ones because of me. I only wish you a life filled with joy and peace, and that you live each day in health and happiness."
Qin Nuo reached out and gently stroked Bai Nini's lustrous black hair, feeling the smoothness of her hair against his fingertips. He looked down at the beautiful woman in his arms, a gentle smile playing on his lips, and softly replied, "Nini, to be honest, business isn't something I truly love. However, in life, one always has to make choices. If I can successfully develop Yufeng Mountain, then you can teach and educate people there in peace in the future. The working environment will be much more relaxed, without having to work too hard."
Alice, meanwhile, stood quietly on the second-floor balcony, a steaming cup of coffee in hand. Through the cracks in the railing, she quietly watched Bai Nini and Qin Nuo embrace each other downstairs, a look of envy and a touch of helplessness on her face. Lowering her voice, she muttered to Andrew, who was also watching the situation downstairs, "Brother! Look at these two! They're so close and inseparable, no matter where they are. It's almost too sweet! We're so tired of watching them cling to each other like this every day!"
Hearing this, Andrew turned around, glanced at Alice, and said with a sullen smile, "My dear sister, don't just complain about other people's displays of affection. As the saying goes, 'Girls can't be kept at home when they grow up.' When the right opportunity comes, I will definitely find you a perfect husband and marry you off in style!"
On the morning of New Year's Eve, just as the sky was beginning to turn light, Xu Chen drove to the agreed location early, ready to pick them up and go to Yufeng Mountain together.
With the roar of the engine, the car slowly started and drove smoothly on the wide road. Along the way, the street scenery kept receding, and the morning breeze blew against the car window glass, making a slight rustling sound.
Qin Nuo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and looked at Xu Chen, who was concentrating on driving, with an apologetic look on his face. He said softly, "Xu Chen, I'm so sorry. When we get there, after you drop us off, go home and celebrate the New Year."
Hearing this, Xu Chen couldn't help but laugh. He turned his head to glance at Qin Nuo and jokingly responded, "I'm alone, what's the point of going back? My parents left me a long time ago and went on a leisurely trip! So I'm not planning on going home this year. It's just the perfect opportunity to go to the mountains with you guys to celebrate the New Year. It's so lively and wonderful! What, are you trying to get rid of me?"
Hearing Xu Chen say this, Luo Shuya suddenly became a little anxious, and quickly waved her hands to explain: "Oh, Xiaochen, please don't misunderstand! Xiaonuo is just worried that it will delay you from going home to reunite with your family for the New Year."
Xu Chen still had a smile on his face. He waved his hand lightly and comforted the two of them, "Aunt Luo, don't worry! I was just joking with Arnold just now! Between us brothers, is there anything that can't be said directly? There's no need to care about such a small matter!" As he said that, he stepped on the accelerator again, increased the speed of the car, and the car rushed forward like an arrow.
The car slowly drove into the quiet and quaint town at the foot of Yufeng Mountain. When it came to a steady stop, everyone's attention was instantly drawn to a scene not far away—Lu Wenjie and Mo Xing were standing there, methodically directing the employees of Lu's Enterprise as they busily moved various supplies.
The car door opened, and Qin Nuo jumped out impatiently, running straight towards Lu Wenjie like a gust of wind. Before the other party could react, he had already opened his arms and hugged Lu Wenjie tightly, shouting excitedly: "Lu Zi! I didn't expect you to get here before us!"
Lu Wenjie was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be angry and said "Pah", laughing and teasingly: "Oh, you guys just remembered to hug me now? I almost doubt whether I have no place in your heart anymore. I think, in your eyes and heart, there is only Bai Nini!"
Hearing this, Qin Nuo quickly let go of his hand, pretended to be angry and hit Lu Wenjie's shoulder, then grabbed his arm and said affectionately: "Hey, what are you talking about! You are my best buddy! Come on, let me introduce you, this is my brother Andrew." As he said, he pulled Lu Wenjie in front of Andrew.
Andrew smiled at the imposing young man in front of him, nodded politely, extended his right hand and said, "So you are the son of the famous Lu Group! I have heard of you for a long time, and seeing you today is indeed extraordinary!"
Seeing this, Lu Wenjie quickly extended his hand to shake Andrew's, scratching his head shyly at the same time, and responded modestly: "Mr. Andrew, you are too kind! I am not a young master at all. I just follow Qin Nuo to make a living. Our Lu family is just doing some insignificant small business."
Andrew smiled and said in a friendly tone, "From now on, all of Zhang Group's domestic business will be handled by me. I'm extremely excited and looking forward to cooperating with your Lu family! Besides, I've long heard that your Lu family's family banquets are truly exceptional and delicious. When my friends need to hire a chef someday, I will definitely recommend your Lu family's chef to them without hesitation!"
Hearing this, Lu Wenjie quickly responded, "Oh, thank you so much! Our chef will be responsible for preparing most of the dishes for the buffet banquet being held on the mountain tonight! When the time comes, I'd like to ask for your guidance, Mr. Andrew!"
