Chapter 158: 134. Heavenly Umbrella, Devil’s Egg

It was evident that Guo Minjie looked radiant today.

She was dressed in a well-tailored orange-yellow blouse, which not only complemented her skin tone but also accentuated her intellectual demeanor, simple in style yet not lacking in design.

With her hair tied back in a ponytail, she could easily be mistaken for a senior undergraduate or a graduate student.

But this was limited to just the upper half of her body visible in the view.

Looking further down, the appearance of a slim-fit pencil skirt suggested a subtly different charm.

Paired with eight-centimeter high heels, the ensemble perfectly enhanced her overall look, and the way she walked was the best way to differentiate between a peach and a kumquat.

"This is the situation, we have recently moved our workspace to Nanhu Industrial Park, and we have prepared an office for you. We would like to invite you to provide some guidance whenever you are available..."

Lu Jincheng’s voice was loud, exhibiting an unwavering demeanor of a straight-A student while reporting on work.

That is, unless his gaze wasn’t freely falling from Guo Minjie’s fair neck and slipping into her neckline.

In the office, tutors from other classes were also working, occasionally pricking their ears to listen to the sound from Guo Minjie’s side.

Her student’s entrepreneurial project had achieved significant success, attracting personal attention and praise from the university president!

Such news, especially within the institutional framework of universities, could hardly be concealed, soon becoming the talk of the town.

Lu Jincheng had spent money sponsoring a welcome party, which, at most, proved his capabilities among the students, but the teachers just watched for fun, hardly taking it seriously.

However, his project made it to the university council meeting, allowing Management College to impress the university president and even secured a grant of five hundred thousand as a subsidy...

This had significant implications.

Guo Minjie could feel, during the days following the meeting, that her colleagues had been noticeably warmer towards her.

"Oh, that’s possible."

Guo Minjie maintained her composure, although Lu Jincheng’s devouring gaze didn’t seem to diminish at all, continually circling around her.

"When I have time, I’ll ask Director Cai, and we can visit the project together."

After all, she was an experienced professional, and her response was equally seamless.

"Director Cai is quite busy; please guide us first. Particularly, our short video team has a few issues with the copywriting that really need a professional like you."

Lu Jincheng’s voice softened a few degrees as he pulled a stool closer, staring directly at the tutor.

Women who are well-nurtured are like petals unfolding and stamens blooming, indeed entirely transforming.

Guo Minjie’s immaculate cheeks flushed with a hint of blush, her light office makeup enhancing her glow.

Her hair was elegantly pinned up, lips red and teeth white, graceful and captivating.

Moreover, her makeup style was distinctly different from that of contemporary girls, with her natural, healthy blush clearly not the work of any rouge.

"This is what you can do; they can also summarize the issues and send them to my email."

Guo Minjie kept her arms crossed in front of her chest, avoiding looking at him, her gaze shifting restlessly.

"Alright, Teacher Guo, I’ll head for my class now and won’t disturb you further."

Surrounded by Guo Minjie’s colleagues, Lu Jincheng had no more entry points and could only make a graceful retreat.

"By the way, here are some local gifts our team brought back from Hang City on a recent business trip, just a small token of appreciation."

Before leaving, Lu Jincheng placed the bag on Guo Minjie’s table with practiced ease.

"No need, no need... you’re too kind."

Guo Minjie stood up to object.

"It’s just an umbrella, nothing valuable."

"Without your guidance, we wouldn’t have come this far."

Lu Jincheng blinked meaningfully, "Right, Teacher Guo?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Minjie no longer refused and quietly placed the bag in the corner.

A household umbrella could hardly be considered a breach of discipline.

"I’ll be heading back first."

Lu Jincheng waved to the tutor, smiling radiantly, then turned and vanished down the corridor.

"Xiao Guo, your student is really sensible, capable and polite."

At the neighboring workstation, the counselor of public administration, Huang Yuemei, held a handful of sunflower seeds, cracking them and speaking to Guo Minjie.

"Ah, really? Hahaha..."

Guo Minjie subconsciously wanted to retort.

Polite, Lu Jincheng?

Staring at her chest the moment he entered the room, did those two words have anything to do with him?

Considerate, Lu Jincheng?

It was a huge joke.

He took advantage of her vulnerability on the night of her divorce, forcefully getting her drunk and then gently persuading her, successfully having his way with her.

She really had never seen a student "understanding" in such a manner.

However, she discovered that in the eyes of others, Lu Jincheng was exceptionally capable and eloquent, seemingly fitting that image.

Thus, she could only laugh along.

"Yeah, I’ve been through it, sister is telling you, our Nanhu University might have to wait several years to have such an outstanding student."

"Starting a business in his first year and earning so much money, take a look at those top students from Jiang University and Hua Ke, how many can do that?"

Huang Yuemei’s mouth moved rapidly, sunflower seed shells fluttering into the trash bag.

"With your good luck, you must cherish it, participate more, guide his projects, don’t just be a figurehead."

"It’ll benefit you in the future."

"Thank you, Sister Huang."

Guo Minjie nodded, sensing the other’s well-intentioned advice.

As the saying goes, when one man gains the Tao, his poultry and dogs ascend to heaven.

As Lu Jincheng’s fortune gradually expanded, the influence centered around him had slowly begun to radiate to everyone close to him.

Guo Minjie’s popularity in the office was just the beginning.

The morning quietly passed by.

One by one, her colleagues left their workstations for lunch, and Guo Minjie, finishing her work, stood up and then remembered the gift Lu Jincheng had sent.

Only she remained in the office; the counselor opened the bag, inside was a custom-made pearl pink Heavenly Umbrella.

There was also a greeting card.

—With pearl pink, remembering the heavenly bliss we shared.

Guo Minjie instantly realized, he was hinting at the lipstick color from that night!

The same vibrant pink, the same queenly aura.

Well, the umbrella was indeed quite beautiful, keeping it wouldn’t hurt.

She stood up, instinctively weighing the seemingly empty bag, but discovered there was still something inside.

A small square box, no bigger than the palm of her hand.

Guo Minjie curiously opened it, instantly taking a deep breath as her eyes widened.

This...

The next second, she quickly hid the box in her office desk drawer, her chest heaving, she picked up her phone and opened WeChat.

She found Lu Jincheng’s avatar and tapped out six question marks.

"??????"

"What’s wrong, Teacher Guo?"

Even through WeChat, she could sense his leisurely tone, filled with teasing.

"What did you buy?!"

Guo Minjie typed furiously, her keystrokes fueled with anger.

"Don’t you like it?"

"Heavenly Umbrella, Devil’s Egg."

"Custom-made, just right for you."
