Chapter 144: Signing An Nuo
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Murong Qiao didn’t expect An Nuo’s school life in the past two days to be so…”interesting and colorful.”
If it were her, she would have long asked to change rooms.
“She’s out and not in the dormitory now.” After explaining the situation, An Nuo pouted at the bed opposite her.
The two of them usually hated each other, let alone staying in the same dormitory at the same time.
“But she’s probably going out to badmouth me again.” An Nuo shrugged, her tone full of antic.i.p.ation.
Her cousin was used to pretending to be weak and pitiful. Although she could talk back and forth with her in the dormitory and even morally kidnapped An Nuo to ask her to lend them money, the moment she went out, she would act as if she had suffered a huge grievance in the dormitory. As a result, she gained the sympathy of many people.
“She would say stuff like how she treated me well when I was young.” An Nuo casually listed a few points.
There was no doubt that her cousin would only say nasty words about An Nuo.
Furthermore, An Nuo was not the only one who was criticized. An Nuo’s mother was also criticized badly. Her cousin loved to pretend to be a good person outside and cried about how well she had treated An Nuo in the past. But after growing up, An Nuo treated her like this. Her mother was also scolded as an ingrate.
Now, their family only wanted to borrow some money from them to do a small business, but An Nuo’s family was heartless and unscrupulous.
With An Nuo’s vivid depiction, many images appeared in Murong Qiao’s mind.
At this moment, the door was pushed open and a person entered. She looked a little similar to An Nuo.
It should be An Nuo’s cousin, An Jia. Seeing the similar expressions on their faces, Murong Qiao and An Nuo exchanged glances.
“That’s her.” An Nuo nodded.
Hearing An Nuo’s voice, An Jia subconsciously became nervous and crawled into her bed without even looking over. She didn’t even realize that Murong Qiao was here.
“After being taught a lesson by me these two days, you’ve become more well-behaved.” An Nuo sneered and glanced at An Jia, who was silent on the bed.
Now that her cousin was spreading rumors outside, An Nuo did not intend to let the other party off. Her style had always been straightforward, so she would definitely not tolerate An Jia stepping on her head.
Moreover, they were “good roommates” who shared the same dormitory. How could An Nuo waste such an opportunity?
Arguments had become the norm between the two of them. Her cousin was not weak either. She couldn’t stand An Nuo stopping her father from lending them money so whenever the two of them met, sparks would fly.
Hence, the two of them quarreled more and more and almost hit each other a few times. However, her cousin suddenly stopped for the past few days.
“Let’s not talk about these annoying things. Why are you looking for me?” There were only a few things to talk about, so she simply switched her focus to Murong Qiao.
Just now, before Murong Qiao came, the two of them had spoken on the phone and An Nuo vaguely remembered that the other party was looking for her for something.
Murong Qiao nodded. She remembered that she came this time to sign An Nuo as an artist in the company.
She thought that it would be settled soon, but when she entered the dormitory, she realized that An Nuo’s place was obviously not a suitable place to talk about work. Hence, Murong Qiao pulled An Nuo’s sleeve and gestured for her to talk outside.
“Let’s go,” An Nuo agreed before she took a coat and put it on before leaving the dormitory.
Coincidentally, she did not want to stay in the dormitory anymore. She felt disgusted whenever she saw her cousin.
Hui University was very good to their students. In addition to having their own kitchen area, there were many cafeterias around the dormitory building to choose from. Thus, Murong Qiao and An Nuo found a cafe and sat down.
Murong Qiao took out the contract she had prepared for An Nuo.
“I started a company recently and it’s still in the beginning stage.” Murong Qiao watched as An Nuo picked up the contract and flipped through it. “However, I don’t have any artistes under me for the time being.”
“Are you planning to run it alone?” An Nuo looked at Murong Qiao with a smile.
Murong Qiao nodded, which made the interest in An Nuo’s eyes increase.
The establishment of the company surprised An Nuo, but when she remembered that it was Murong Qiao, she was not surprised. When she met her, she felt that she would not just sit down and inherit her family’s a.s.sets.
“Yes, 1 want to invite you to join me and be my artiste.” Murong Qiao explained the situation.
It was not just their friendship. She felt that An Nuo herself was very talented, not to mention that she was majoring in acting.
“Sure!” Hearing Murong Qiao’s words, An Nuo signed her name on the last page of the contract.
Seeing her sign without even looking, Murong Qiao felt An Nuo’s trust in her and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“You signed it without even looking through the content.” Murong Qiao said as she took over the signed contract. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll sell you out?”
Still, she was happy when she saw her signing without hesitation.
“Besides, I just started the company. Wouldn’t you suffer a huge loss if it collapses in the future?” Murong Qiao teased.
An Nuo shook her head and looked at Murong Qiao confidently.
“It’s okay.” An Nuo waved her hand, her face full of disbelief. “You’re the eldest daughter of the Murong Family. It’s absolutely impossible for your company to fail.”
“Furthermore, based on the relationship between the two of us, it’s beneficial for you to stand on my side.” An Nuo concluded firmly.
She naturally trusted Murong Qiao, so she signed the contract without even looking.
“In the future, I’ll be able to pick any resources I want like a chosen princess.” The more An Nuo spoke, the more confident she became. From time to time, she would even raise her eyebrows, looking like she had completely handed herself over.
Seeing An Nuo’s confident look, Murong Qiao almost laughed out loud.
However, An Nuo’s words made sense.
Hence, the matter of An Nuo joining the company was settled happily. After Murong Qiao put away the contract, the two of them agreed to find a place to settle dinner first.
An Nuo made the decision and took Murong Qiao to a restaurant she often ate at.
“Boss, two set A meals.” As soon as they entered, An Nuo called out to the waiter familiarly. Then, they found a place to sit down.
Murong Qiao pulled out a chair and sat opposite An Nuo. However, as soon as she sat down, she felt An Nuo’s scorching gaze.
“What’s wrong?” Murong Qiao looked at An Nuo’s strange expression and asked.
An Nuo smiled mischievously. Then, seeing that there was no one around, she lowered her voice and pretended to be mysterious as she asked Murong Qiao.
“What’s with the forum?” An Nuo had been paying attention to Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao for the past two days. Now that she was here, she had to ask.
“Nothing.” Murong Qiao instinctively wanted to shake her head, but when she saw An Nuo’s obvious disbelief, she couldn’t help but blush. “It’s just that this morning…”
She told An Nuo about today’s lesson. Then, she saw An Nuo clap her hands, clearly happy.
“He’s definitely trying to woo you!” The onlooker could see things clearly. Just looking at Murong Qiao’s red face, An Nuo felt that there was a high chance that this matter could work.
Murong Qiao’s face turned even redder when she heard this and glared at An Nuo.
“Then do you want to accept him?” An Nuo knew how to find the main point and threw the question to Murong Qiao.
Do I want to accept him?
Murong Qiao was stunned for a moment before returning to normal. She cast away the possibility in her mind and shook her head decisively.
“I don’t know.” Murong Qiao gave an ambiguous answer.
Seeing that Murong Qiao didn’t reject it immediately, An Nuo stared at Murong Qiao’s red face as if she had discovered a new continent. It was like she immediately knew what was going on..
