Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets!
Chapter 127 - 112. Unless you beg me

Chapter 127: 112. Unless you beg me

"Do you want me to go and report with you?"

At the age of twenty-eight, Guo Minjie sat in the office of the Management College building at Nanhu University, reflecting on her experiences in court that morning. She wore a pair of rimless glasses, and a bitter smile involuntarily appeared on her smooth, round cheeks.

"I don’t even clearly understand what you all are doing..."

The counselor was dressed in a short-sleeved, dark gray formal shirt tucked into a black knee-length skirt, her slim and well-proportioned calves appeared even softer wrapped in flesh-colored stockings, and her patent leather mid-heel shoes shone brightly.

"Do I need to be there?"

She leaned her head on one hand, looking at Lu Jincheng across from her, somewhat hesitant.

On one hand, she really didn’t want to go to the School Youth League Committee and see that man.

On the other hand, she had enough confidence in Lu Jincheng.

Since he was capable of running the studio so successfully alone.

Such a trivial matter as reporting, whether or not she, the nominal advising teacher, was present, what difference would it make?

"Let’s go, you don’t have to speak or report, just stand there as a mascot."

Lu Jincheng smiled and persuaded Guo Minjie again, "What, does Teacher Guo not want to improve?"

The [Golden Stone] Studio, unlike the minor PPT projects Nanhu University had been dabbling in over the years, was a unique venture.

Mr. Lu did not rely on official support from the university, starting from scratch with just a small shabby office, being self-sufficient, and even ended up sponsoring the university’s welcome party after making a profit.

A project that could generate money and gain fame was definitely a good project.

For a nominal advising teacher like Guo Minjie, taking this opportunity to show her face in front of the university leaders and increase her presence would absolutely be beneficial for her future development.

If she really wanted to advance, she might as well prepare her speech; this reporting opportunity was not to be missed.

"...This is just how I am, there’s no room for improvement."

Guo Minjie’s eyes dimmed, her cherry lips twitched slightly, and she sighed deeply, wanting to say more but stopping herself.

Mr. Lu, having seen countless people, naturally perceived the counselor’s barely concealed discontent.

Of course, it was easy to understand.

It was uncommon for married couples at the same institution to both hold leadership positions.

If the husband was promoted, the wife’s career would soon hit a glass ceiling; this had become a consensus.

Ying Kai already held the position of secretary at the School Youth League Committee, so even if Guo Minjie was outstanding, it was certain that the organization would not consider promoting her administratively in the near term.

She could only strive to advance in professional titles.

"Don’t say such things; the reason you feel there is no room is that someone is holding you back."

Mr. Lu’s way of expressing was subtle enough, perfectly leading to the next topic.

"So, Teacher Guo, how did the court session go?"

As expected, Guo Minjie’s beautiful eyes shifted, and her fingertips twirled a strand of hair as she gave him a surprised look.

It seemed every time she interacted with Lu Jincheng, understanding him a bit more brought her new insights.

Having the capital to start a business and being able to precisely target the desires of young people to make a quick buck were not particularly impressive in the counselor’s eyes.

But his keen vision and ample social experience?

Even understanding the unspoken rules within the system?

That was truly impressive.

So, there were some things Guo Minjie didn’t mind discussing with Lu Jincheng.

In her view, she no longer considered Mr. Lu as just an ordinary university student.

"I didn’t get divorced."

Guo Minjie parted her lips lightly and softly uttered three words.

"Are you going to continue to appeal?"

"I haven’t decided yet; appealing would drag it out for a long time. Let’s talk about it later."

Guo Minjie pursed her lips, not wanting to continue this topic with Lu Jincheng, and stood up from her workstation.

"Let’s go, let’s go report first."

Work is work, and family is family; she quickly distinguished the difference.

...

...

At four in the afternoon.

Nanhu University administrative center, Party Committee meeting room.

The background of blue with white text on the large screen displayed the meeting theme.

"Mass entrepreneurship, innovation by all," project results report—Management College [Golden Stone] Studio.

President Liu Jinlin sat in the main seat, with the school’s financial leader Cong Han, Dean of the Management College She Zhifang, Head of the Business Management Department Cai Shangdong, and Ying Kai, the leader of the School Youth League Committee, sitting on both sides of the attendee seats.

Two nameplates were placed on the speaker’s table, bearing the names Lu Jincheng, and the advising teacher Guo Minjie.

"At the welcome party before the holiday, I heard that our Nanhu University had initial successes with the ’mass entrepreneurship, innovation by all’ venture projects. Today, we specifically convened a school affairs meeting to listen to the report on the results..."

The school affairs meeting was a small-scale meeting, not requiring the attendance of all staff members, but it was formal enough.

President Liu Jinlin started speaking slowly; then, following him, the senior leaders and Cai Shangdong spoke in turn before it was Lu Jincheng’s turn to make a formal introduction.

Mr. Lu was meticulous in his work.

Although he had sent a digital version of the materials and the reporting PPT to all the leaders of the School Youth League Committee.

But in his bag, he had still prepared a printed version of the reporting materials in advance, stood up, distributed them according to the number of people, and then returned to the speaker’s stand.

"Respected President Liu, esteemed leaders!"

"With the strong support of the college and the meticulous guidance of the advising teacher Guo Minjie, the [Golden Stone] Studio has achieved the following results..."

His speech was confident and resonant, filled with substantial content, which had the leaders in the audience nodding continuously.

Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Mr. Lu had made presentations to even higher executives, let alone such a small gathering.

Just a while ago in the office of the School Youth League Committee, he completely ignored the awkward atmosphere between Ying Kai and Guo Minjie and still delivered a report performance above standard.
