Chapter 2446: Because You’re Dirty
Shen Mingxiu was wearing an iron gray suit with a blue s.h.i.+rt inside. He was wearing a tie and had his hair combed back.
Compared to when he was still a student, the playful aura on him had decreased a lot.
Now, he looked decent.
It was not like An Rui had not seen Shen Mingxiu in the past four years.
Her high school cla.s.smates would have a gathering every year before the Lunar New Year. Apart from the first year An Rui did not go, she went for the next three years.
She had spent more than a year getting over the pain.
When she faced Shen Mingxiu again, she was no longer moved or embarra.s.sed.
To her, Shen Mingxiu was just an ordinary high school cla.s.smate.
Although it was impossible to erase those memories, when she recalled them, her emotions would no longer fluctuate and she could smile calmly.
After all, there were very few school lovers who could be as sweet as Tiantian and Gu Yang, from their school uniforms to their wedding dresses.
After thinking it through, she would slowly get over it.
After An Rui saw Shen Mingxiu, she smiled and nodded at him, then went to the elevator with her a.s.sistant, Xiaohe.
Entering the elevator, the door was about to close when a slender hand reached in.
The elevator door opened again and Shen Mingxiu’s tall and handsome figure walked in.
There were not many people in the elevator, only An Rui and Xiaohe.
After Shen Mingxiu came in, he stood on the other side of An Rui.
Seeing the floor she had pressed, he raised his eyebrows slightly. “To the 29th floor?”
An Rui nodded.
Every year at the cla.s.s reunion, Shen Mingxiu wanted to talk to An Rui alone, but she never gave him a chance.
Seeing An Rui’s indifferent att.i.tude, Shen Mingxiu’s eyes darkened. “I’m going to the 29th floor too.”
An Rui said nothing more. She took out her phone and looked down at the entertainment news.
“I saw you on the trending list yesterday. I know you’re not that kind of person.”
An Rui did not look up at Shen Mingxiu and replied calmly, “The matter has been settled.”
“That’s good.”
An Rui said nothing more and the atmosphere fell into a frozen silence again.
When the elevator reached the 29th floor, Shen Mingxiu walked out with one hand in his pocket.
After Shen Mingxiu left, Xiaohe asked curiously, “Sister Ruirui, do you know that handsome man?”
“High school cla.s.smate.” An Rui did not say much.
“Wow, he’s so tall and handsome. He must have been very popular in your high school, right?”
An Rui replied, “I don’t really remember.”
Xiaohe did not know if she was hallucinating, but she felt like Sister Ruirui and that handsome man had a story of love and hate!
There were many female celebrities who came to Ming’an Company to audition for the new game.
Ming’an Corporation had been very strong in the internet industry in the past two years. Recently, the discussion of their spokesperson had been very popular online.
Xiaohe took An Rui’s number from the front desk and filled in the form. An Rui sat in the resting area and queued up.
There were more than a dozen people in front of her.
After waiting for about an hour, the secretary came out and called An Rui.
An Rui was arranged to change into the clothes of the spokesperson and a fairy dress. After adjusting her makeup, she followed her secretary to the meeting room for the interview.
When An Rui walked in, the five judges’ eyes lit up.
An Rui was born with thin eyebrows, a small oval face, fair skin, and long black hair. After changing into the fairy dress, she looked cla.s.sic and beautiful.
The judge glanced at An Rui’s information and was slightly disappointed when he saw that she was just a n.o.body.
“Can you introduce yourself?” The judge sitting in the middle spoke.
An Rui was about to speak when the meeting room door was pushed open.
A tall figure walked in.
“President Shen.”
“President Shen.”
The five judges stood up and greeted the man who came in.
Shen Mingxiu walked to the judge’s seat in the middle and sat down.
The judges were all high-level executives of the company and were surprised to see the founder, Shen Mingxiu, coming personally.
One had to know that Shen Mingxiu did not ask much about the endors.e.m.e.nt. He trusted the team to handle it.
An Rui furrowed her eyebrows slightly when she saw Shen Mingxiu sitting in the middle of the judging panel.
She should have guessed Shen Mingxiu’s relations.h.i.+p with this company!
During the cla.s.s reunion, she heard from other cla.s.smates that he had started his business on the internet when he was in university.
He liked to play games since high school and often found bugs in game companies. He studied computer science in university and was not surprised to be in this industry.
He was surprised that she had come to his company for an audition!
An Rui took a deep breath and made a decision.
“Miss An, you can introduce yourself.” The judge who spoke first said to An Rui.
An Rui wanted to bring a talent performance after her self-introduction, but she did not have any talent. The judges answered every question and did not stand out.
“Alright, go back and wait for the notice!” The judge was slightly disappointed with An Rui. After all, she had stunned them the moment she entered.
An Rui turned around and was about to go out when Shen Mingxiu’s voice sounded.
“She’s the one.”
The judges looked at each other.
An Rui turned back to look at Shen Mingxiu, pursing her lips slightly. “You don’t have to choose me. I won’t accept this endors.e.m.e.nt.”
Without giving Shen Mingxiu a chance to speak, An Rui strode out.
“Sister Ruirui, how is it?” Xiaohe asked expectantly. She looked at the time and Sister Ruirui’s audition was the longest.
“No chance.” An Rui walked toward the changing room.
She changed into her own clothes and opened the door. When she looked up, she saw a tall figure leaning against the wall.
Shen Mingxiu looked at her with dark eyes. “An Rui, it’s been a few years and you’re still angry at me? It’s work and private. It’s good for you to accept this endors.e.m.e.nt!”
“I know the situation of your An family. You have no background in the entertainment industry now. It’s very difficult for you to stand out if you want to fight alone!”
An Rui looked at Shen Mingxiu calmly. “It’s indeed very difficult to stand out. But Shen Mingxiu, if I want to rely on my friends, wouldn’t it be better for me to look for Tiantian directly?”
Because of her personality, she did not want to depend on anyone.
Even if she could not do anything, it was her own business and no one had the right to say anything!
Shen Mingxiu frowned. “Why are you turning back? What good can being stubborn do you?”
“I don’t want to accept your charity! I don’t need your sympathy!”
Shen Mingxiu thought that he had calmed down a lot in the past few years, but every time he faced An Rui, he was furious.
“An Rui, isn’t it enough to punish me for four years?”
Hearing his words, An Rui found it funny. She thought he had become mature, but she did not expect him to still be so arrogant!
“Shen Mingxiu, I didn’t punish you at all. You’re just an ordinary high school cla.s.smate in my heart now. I don’t want to owe you anything because I don’t want to have too much contact with you because I find you dirty!”
She had said the words she did not say to him four years ago today.
