Lu Zhanxing also found it quite magical.
If it had been Lu Ting, he definitely couldn’t have done it, to be as attentive as he was today.
All for a single call of “brother.”
The bonds of blood were indeed marvelous.
Lu Zhanxing, with a smile in his eyes, said tenderly, “These years have been hard on you.”
Qiao Yun shook her head and said, “I haven’t had a hard time.”
“Sister, don’t be stubborn.”
Lu Zhanxing didn’t believe her, “Mom already told me, your life in the countryside was tough, with only a grandfather by your side, living day to day on a tight budget…”
Qiao Yun’s somber personality must have been forced on her by the environment she grew up in.
So much so that she became accustomed to facing difficulties alone.
It wasn’t the first time that Lu Zhanxing had heard their mother complain about his sister, how she kept everything to herself and didn’t share with them.
Qiao Yun: “…”
Some things are not timely to mention now.
For instance, that she was the wealthiest person in the country, even controlling eighty percent of the country’s new technologies.
She changed the subject, asking directly if she had doubts, “What happened to you?”
Lu Zhanxing’s mouth stiffened with his smile, teasing her, “Adult stuff, kids shouldn’t worry about it.”
“I’m eighteen, not a child.” Qiao Yun frowned, objecting to this assertion.
Lu Zhanxing laughed, his tone slightly proud, “Still younger than me, that makes you a child.”
Qiao Yun: “…”
Childish.
Lu Zhanxing, not wanting to continue the topic, asked Qiao Yun, “Hungry, right? What do you want to eat? Brother will cook for you personally.”
“Anything is fine.” Qiao Yun was not picky.
Lu Zhanxing’s foul mood improved slightly.
“Alright, just wait.”
After saying this, he headed to the kitchen, like a peacock eager to show off, all he lacked was a tail fanned out.
Xie Ying had intended to get up to leave but was stopped by Qiao Yun.
“What happened?”
When Qiao Yun looked at someone seriously, her pitch-black eyes displayed no emotion, yet they held a certain pressure.
Xie Ying felt an almost instinctive desire to kneel down and blurted out without thinking, “Zhanxing was invited to a charity event, and we had already confirmed a brand sponsor, but they suddenly reneged today. It’s not a big deal, we could find other brands, but all were tactfully declined.”
Probably because he had been holding it in for too long and finally found someone to talk to, he said angrily, “What pisses me off the most is that the brand that wanted to collaborate specified they were interested because of Zhanxing. Now that they’ve backed out, it must be that person’s doing. This is an insult! A warning to whom, exactly?”
Qiao Yun asked Xie Ying, “Why did they back out?”
“It’s because they got a photo of you and Zhanxing, and then…”
Xie Ying abruptly stopped himself, waving his hands, “Never mind, you wouldn’t understand.”
Qiao Yun wasn’t familiar with the convolutions of the entertainment industry, but she understood the matter was related to her to some extent.
“Do you need brand sponsorship?”
Xie Ying said, “Of course, the more high-profile, the better.”
A popular figure without brand sponsorship at an event can become the talk of the industry in minutes.
It would also affect Lu Zhanxing’s value.
Qiao Yun pondered, “I understand now.”
“Huh? You understand what?” Xie Ying didn’t get it.
Without answering him, Qiao Yun got up and went back to her room, dialing Pei Ya immediately.
“Arrange for someone from July to contact Lu Zhanxing, sponsor his outfit for the event.”
Pei Ya: ?????
“Give Lu Zhanxing that Universe watch from Lens.”
Pei Ya: !!!!?
He said solemnly, “Boss, do you have any idea the Universe is on display in a watch museum, never lent out, a rare top-luxury that money can’t buy!?”
“It’s my design, I have the right to decide its use, any problem?”
Qiao Yun remembered Xie Ying mentioning, the bigger the brand, the better.
Pei Ya: “…”
“Alright, no problem.”
Heh… money sure is powerful, huh.
