Chapter 615: As Long as You Are Willing

to sue for divorce, come find me again, and I'll definitely help you fight for the biggest possible benefits." Shu Tinglan perfunctorily responded, not believing at all that Fu Shenyi would cheat, no...Ruan Ruan was stunned. She had just read the conditions in the file. To be a panel member associate professor, besides her education and teaching hours, there was an important bonus item: to have hosted or participated in provincial or ministerial-level projects. She was exactly missing such an opportunity, and Yuan Ligi had just delivered it.

Seeing her puzzled expression, Yuan Ligao smiled and said, "Teacher Gu, consider this: several other teachers have also contacted me wanting to join. However, I hope to find a teacher who is proficient in both Chinese and foreign design history, preferably with study abroad experience. So, Teacher Gu is my top choice."

After extending an olive branch, he slung his backpack over his shoulder and walked to the innermost office down the hallway.

Actually, Ruan Ruan doesn't need to consider this. It's a very rare and hard-to-come-by opportunity. Just as she was thinking about how to speak to Teacher Yuan, she looked up and met Lu Kuo's eyes.

He didn't know how long he had stood at the foot of the stairs. He glanced at Ruan Ruan with a cold look in his eyes, then at Yuan Liguo not far down the hallway.

"Who is he"

This back view, he had seen it on that tree-lined avenue last time. He saw her again, carrying both books and files, being very attentive to Ruan Ruan.

"A colleague from the architecture department." Ruan Ruan put aside any annoyance she felt during the meeting today, and didn't want to bring it up in front of Lu Kuo.

"Did you have a meeting with him this afternoon"

Ruan Ruan glanced at Lu Kuo and smiled, "Are you jealous"

She walked forward, linking her arm with his. It was almost dusk, and besides Yuan Liguo, there were no other teachers in this office building on this floor.

Lu Kuò arrogantly said, "Do I need to be jealous"

"Well, it's alright. But I'm really hungry now, what are you thinking of getting me"

"You'll know when you go."

Land

A spacious car was parked in the alley beside the faculty housing building. The two of them walked over to get in the car. Just as they got near the car, Chen, the director, came walking towards them. Her car was also parked there.

Director Chen greeted her with a smile, then casually glanced at Lu Kuò and his million-dollar car.

"Mr. Gu, are you her boyfriend"

Ruan Ruan smiled but didn't reply.

Before, due to her mother's influence, she would frequently come to the teachers' dormitory asking for money and making a fuss every other day. Therefore, some colleagues subconsciously categorized her as someone who favors the wealthy and despises the poor, even being indifferent to her own mother.

Chen, the director, naturally had a lot of thoughts running through his mind when he saw Lu Kuo.

Ruannuan didn't reply. Lu Kuo was about to get in the car when he got out again and looked at Director Chen, asking, "Is there something wrong"

The attitude wasn't very good.

"It's nothing," Director Chen said awkwardly. "Just showing concern for my subordinates."

Ruan Ruan was afraid that Lu Kuò would hear that Chen Zhu was her supervisor and would come over to get close to her. He was so outgoing that it was terrifying, so she hurriedly said, "Director Chen, you're busy, we'll go first, goodbye."

Indeed, after getting in the car, Lu Kuo asked, "Is this Director Chen your leader"

"Well, he's not exactly a leader. He's the head of our research department."

Lu Kuo drove the car out of the alley and glanced at her in the passenger seat. "Was she bullying you"

Don't be fooled by Lu Kuò's seemingly carefree and oblivious exterior. When he sets his mind to it, he possesses a keen ability to perceive the intricacies of interpersonal relationships.

"What did you find" Ruanruan didn't intend to complain to Lu Kuo. She had thought things through at work, and there was nothing to feel wronged about; it was perfectly normal.

"What's going on Tell me." Lu Kuo was unusually serious and didn't brush it off.

Let it pass.

Ruan Ruan smiled: "Do you want to fight back for me"

"It's not impossible."

Anyway, judging from Chen's gaze just now, he seemed very displeased.

"It's really nothing, just some normal bumps in the road at work. It's not unusual to encounter colleagues you don't click with when you're working, right"

At the end of the day, she's just a junior employee. There's plenty of time for her to grow in her career, and all her experiences are valuable assets.

Upon hearing this, Lu Kuò didn't say anything more. Only when they were near the restaurant did he say, "I thought your work environment at school would be simpler."

"Where there are people, things can never be simple. I'm just saying it would be relatively simpler, something I can handle." Ruanruan heard the concern in his words, and her heart was already warmed. All the unpleasantness from this afternoon had long since vanished.

Lu Kuo was still very unhappy. His people shouldn't be bullied.

Today, I brought her to a private kitchen. We placed our order beforehand, so when we arrived, the private chef served us the dishes directly. We ate and chatted leisurely.

"If anything happens in the future, don't keep it to yourself. You can tell me."

"Sure."

"Has your mom been looking for you lately"

"Occasionally reach out." Each time, she still complained, pouring all her negative energy onto her. Ruan Ruan could only choose to let it go in one ear and out the other, not taking it to heart.

"You need to learn to say no to people." Lu Kuo was unusually serious today.

"I know what I want." Ruannuan was very clear about herself, knowing how to choose the life she wanted and refusing the one she didn't.

Came back from the capital.

Lu Kuò immediately sent her a location. He didn't need to think; he knew she was eager to show off how Gu Ruǎn Dōng had won over his grandfather's favor.

The previous photo was still lingering in my mind.

Indeed, they were siblings, thinking alike. Lu Yaoyao had the same idea.

Gu Ruandong wanted to go home directly, but seeing her excited about going to find Lu Kuò, he told the driver to go in that direction. By the time they arrived, Lu Kuò had already had the private chef clear the table, leaving not even a scrap of food for them, and was leisurely sipping tea there.

Lu Yao Yao came over and sat beside Ruan Ruan, she couldn't help but sigh: "Ruan Ruan, you have such good eyesight. How did you ever fall for my brother"

"Perhaps I'm blind," Ruan Ruan also joked.

Lu Kuò: "I'm sure you can see, it's some people who are truly blind."

Lu Yaoyao was very talkative around her family. She rattled on about her visit to Gu Ruandong's home these past few days, emphasizing how much his parents liked her. She then went on to say how well her grandfather got along with Gu Ruandong during their conversation.

Gu Ruandong smiled lightly and listened to her, his hand resting on the back of her chair, playing with her hair ends now and then with his fingers.

Lu Kuo sneered, "Then I'll just move the Civil Affairs Bureau here and you can get married right on the spot"

As soon as he spoke, Gu Ruandong's hand stilled, and Lu Yao yao instantly fell silent.

Lu Kuo continued to scoff: "Can't you be a little more reserved Running to someone's house like that, lowering yourself."

He intentionally provoked Lu YaoYao and said some nasty things, as a result, Lu YaoYao took it seriously and turned to ask Gu RuanDong.

“You said, we... ”

When will you get married

"As long as you want to, anytime." Zhaoyi to finish school and picks him up, then drops him off at Han Li's place later. On weekends, if he wants to take Han Zhaoyi with him, he does. If not, he goes to work or returns to Xiwang, Senz...
