Chapter 302: Unexpected Successful Invitation
Chu Luo had long been mentally prepared and wasn’t worried that her relations.h.i.+p with Li Yan would be exposed.
Besides, she didn’t want to be misunderstood often.
However, she glanced at Li Yan and had a nagging feeling that this man had long planned this.
Li Yan looked into her eyes and turned his head to kiss her cheek.
Chu Luo glanced at him and brought over the sweet soup beside her. She scooped a spoonful and fed it to him.
As expected, it made Li Yan shut his mouth.
Chu Luo didn’t retract her hand and said, “If you don’t drink, I won’t let you into the bedroom tonight.”
Li Yan narrowed his eyes at Chu Luo and drank the sweet soup.
After it was fed to him, he swallowed it with difficulty. Looking at the gloating Chu Luo, he placed his hand on the back of her head and asked her to deliver it herself.
“Boo…”
Li Yan let go of her only after Chu Luo’s lips had turned unusually red.
Then, he asked with a smile, “Do you want to give me another spoonful?”
After a while, Chu Luo caught her breath and snorted at him before eating.
After the meal, Chu Luo drove to meet Mr. w.a.n.g.
“Little Chu, over here.”
Mr. w.a.n.g was driving a small van and was waiting for her there.
Chu Luo walked over. Mr. w.a.n.g pointed at the district and told her, “Master Li lives in this high-end villa district. I called him last night to greet him. We can go over directly today.”
“Thank you, Uncle w.a.n.g.”
“You child, what’s there to thank?”
The two of them walked into the villa.
As Mr. w.a.n.g walked, he said, “Mingtao said that you’re going to run for president of Imperial University’s Student Union. This is an amazing position. If you can get chosen, we’ll be happy for you. No need to stand on ceremony with Uncle w.a.n.g if I can help.”
“Hehe, okay.”
After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived outside a villa.
Mr. w.a.n.g went over to press the electronic doorbell. Not long after, a housekeeper walked out.
The housekeeper opened the metal door and deliberately glanced at Chu Luo a few times. She invited the two of them in and said as she walked, “Mr. w.a.n.g, my master is already waiting for you in the living room.”
When she walked into the living room, she saw a middle-aged man who was about 47 years old sitting on the sofa and talking on the phone.
When he saw the two of them enter, he pointed at the sofa opposite and gestured for the housekeeper to make tea.
Then, he said to the person on the phone, “Okay, I understand.”
With that, he hung up.
“Mr. Li, sorry to disturb you.”
Mr. Li nodded at Mr. w.a.n.g and looked at Chu Luo with a smile. “You’re Chu Luo, right?”
Chu Luo nodded. Before she could speak, Mr. Li said, “I know what you want. I agree to be a judge.”
Chu Luo was surprised but didn’t have much of a reaction.
Mr. w.a.n.g was very happy. He stood up and reached out to shake hands with Mr. Li.
“Thank you, Mr. Li. Little Chu is still young and doesn’t know the ways of the world. It’s great to meet someone as easygoing as you.”
“Haha.” Mr. Li didn’t refuse to shake Mr. w.a.n.g’s hand.
After retracting his hand, he said in a casual tone, “The world of painting and calligraphy needs to be injected with fresh blood to begin with. Since it’s a National University Painting and Calligraphy Compet.i.tion, the compet.i.tors definitely won’t be weak. I suggest Little Chu invite a few more famous people from the world of painting and calligraphy. This will increase the reputation of the event.”
Chu Luo looked at Mr. Li and nodded after thinking about it.
Mr. Li added, “How about this? I’ll help Little Chu contact a few people later and see if they’re free this weekend. If they are, I’ll get them to be judges.”
“Thank you, Mr. Li.”
“You’re welcome. This is our duty.”
After Mr. Li finished speaking, he really took his phone and stood by the window to make a call.
Looking at Mr. Li’s back, Mr. w.a.n.g whispered to Chu Luo happily, “Mr. Li is really a good person. You’ll be much more relaxed this way, Little Chu.”
Chu Luo also looked at Mr. Li’s back, but a glint flashed across her eyes.
Mr. Li contacted a few people from the painting and calligraphy world before putting away his phone and saying to Chu Luo, “Little Chu is quite lucky. The people I contacted happen to be free this weekend.”
Chu Luo smiled and stood up. “Thank you, Mr. Li. I’ll wait for you at Imperial University before 8:30 this weekend.”
“Haha, okay. We’ll definitely be there on time.”
“Okay, I’ll go back to school first.”
“Go ahead.”
Chu Luo and Mr. w.a.n.g were escorted out by the housekeeper again.
After Mr. w.a.n.g walked out of the Li family’s door, he was still in disbelief. “I didn’t expect it to be so easy to invite these masters. I thought we would have to waste some time talking.”
Chu Luo smiled and said meaningfully, “There are things that they are interested in at the compet.i.tion. They will definitely go.”
Mr. w.a.n.g didn’t understand what Chu Luo meant, but he was still happy for her. “Then, Little Chu, you can go back to Imperial University to study. I heard from Mingtao that you’re studying many specializations. Don’t miss any important cla.s.ses.”
“Okay, Uncle w.a.n.g.”
“Also, when you’re free, come to our house for dinner. I’ll get your Auntie w.a.n.g to prepare a big table of delicious food for you.”
“Hehe, okay.”
The two of them walked out of the villa area and got into their respective cars.
Not long after Chu Luo drove the car out, she received a call from Boss Jin.
The moment Chu Luo picked up the call, she heard a few frightened screams and Boss Jin’s voice shouting for everyone not to panic.
Chu Luo guessed that something had happened over there and quickly asked, “Boss Jin, what happened on your side?”
Boss Jin panted and said anxiously, “Chu Luo, I don’t know what happened in my shop today. Many snakes, insects, rats, and ants came in and couldn’t be chased away.”
Chu Luo frowned. “You didn’t wear the talisman I gave you?”
Boss Jin paused and the sound of rummaging rang. Then, he slapped his forehead and said in frustration, “I must have left the brocade pouch at home when I changed my clothes this morning.”
Chu Luo frowned. “Didn’t I tell you to wear it at all times?”
Boss Jin quickly explained, “It’s not like that. I’ve been wearing it all this time. I was still thinking about it when I put on my clothes this morning, but after my wife took my clothes into the basket where the dirty clothes were placed, I forgot.”
Chu Luo immediately guessed what was going on. “Looks like your family leaked the news that you have talismans and the other party found out. Your wife was controlled by someone this morning.”
“Whoa! What should I do, then?”
“Call your wife immediately and get her to your company. I’ll come over right now.”
“Okay, okay, okay.”
After Chu Luo hung up the phone, she turned the steering wheel and went to the construction materials city in the south of the city.
At this moment, there were already a lot of customers there. The other shops were filled with customers, but Boss Jin’s shop was surrounded by people standing outside the door. It was obvious that they were watching a show.
Chu Luo had just approached when she heard two people discussing.
“What’s going on in this shop? There’s a loud bang inside. Is someone causing trouble again?”
“Maybe there’s an internal conflict. Can’t you see that there’s no one downstairs?”
As the two of them were discussing, there was a loud bang in the shop.
It was obviously from upstairs.
Chu Luo was about to separate these people when a voice sounded in the crowd. “Don’t you know? The boss of this shop… Ah… Ahhh…”
At this point, that person suddenly covered his neck with both hands and opened his mouth wide. His face was red and he couldn’t speak.
The people standing near him quickly retreated.
“Big Brother, what’s wrong with you?”
“Is your throat uncomfortable?”
“What were you saying about this boss?”
That person covered his neck with both hands and his face turned red. It looked like he was getting choked by something.
However, this person wasn’t eating anything.
“Could he be possessed?”
Suddenly, a voice sounded. Everyone was shocked and subconsciously retreated a little.
While everyone was focused on that person, Chu Luo walked into the shop.
She was fast. As soon as she walked in, she disappeared into the elevator before the others could notice.
Chu Luo went straight to the office building.
The elevator reached the fourth floor. As soon as it opened, there was a scream of horror.
Chu Luo stood by the office door and looked at the office covered in a layer of black aura. The corners of her lips curled up into a cold smile. “How dare you come out and make a fool of yourself with a mere illusion.”
With that, she waved her hand and the black aura was dispersed. The snakes, worms, rats, and ants that had been transformed by the illusion disappeared.
The messy office suddenly quietened down. All the office staff inside still didn’t react.
Chu Luo walked towards Jin Yongfu’s office.
At this moment, Jin Yongfu’s office was closed. After she walked over, she pushed open the door.
Jin Yongfu was sitting behind his desk with an ashen face.
A threatening voice sounded at the same time. “Boss Jin, you saw it too. Your company can’t continue operating. Why don’t you transfer your company to me? This way, such a good prime location won’t go to waste.”
Chu Luo looked over and saw two leisurely-looking middle-aged men sitting on the sofa.
One of them was wearing a suit and a bow tie. He had a beer belly and looked like a boss. The other was wearing a long coat and had two walnuts in his hand. He looked like an expert with his eyes closed.
The two of them turned around when they saw the office door open.
When they saw that it was a little girl, the big-bellied middle-aged man’s expression darkened and he shouted, “Who asked you to come in!”
