344: Chapter 344 Delicacies and Fine Wines!

Chu Yunxuan’s willow eyebrows knitted slightly, her lips curling into a gentle, shallow smile.

“Junior Brother, you’re really funny!”

Her eyes carried a bashful look, and her demeanor was quite shy.

But the smile at the corner of her lips was especially touching.

“Let’s eat first!

Otherwise, how will we have the strength to escape from my Pansidong?”

Gracefully turning around, Chu Yunxuan walked to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.

She took out a chilled bottle of red wine and two tall wine glasses.

“It’s not often you come to my place, a bit of red wine should be okay, right?”

“Of course it’s no problem, I can always call a cab!” Wu Jie laughed.

“You’re still planning to leave?” Chu Yunxuan asked in surprise.

Wu Jie raised an eyebrow, casting a sidelong glance.

“Well, besides the bed, there’s also a sofa in your room.

If I get drunk, I can always sleep on the sofa!”

“Please, don’t make me out to be so stingy.

You’re an honored guest; how could I let you sleep on the sofa?”

With a laugh in her lips, Chu Yunxuan, holding the wine that had been breathed in advance, came in front of Wu Jie, bent her waist to put down the glasses, and slowly poured the wine.

“Wow!

Not bad at all!”

Wu Jie peered with a slanted eye, deliberately speaking loudly.

“What’s not bad?” Chu Yunxuan asked, feigning ignorance.

Wu Jie stretched out his hand to pick up the wine glass, swirled it slightly, and said with a smile, “Of course the red wine is great!”

“Ah, you’re so annoying!”

Chu Yunxuan playfully reprimanded, then poured some red wine for herself, and elegantly sat down across from Wu Jie.

She crossed her legs out of habit, raised her arm to lift her glass, and laughed as she looked at Wu Jie.

“I never imagined that in our Tianyuan University of Technology, there would be such an impressive junior like you!”

“So young, yet already occupying a high position in a Fortune 500 company, marrying a beautiful CEO, and reaching the pinnacle of life.

Life winners like you really make others envious and jealous!”

Wu Jie snorted with laughter.

“I’m just a pretty-boy kept man; what’s there to be envious of?

Come on, let’s drink to that!”

Chu Yunxuan gave a charming smile and clinked glasses gently with Wu Jie.

Her beautiful eyes fixated on Wu Jie as she gracefully raised her neck and sipped.

The chilled red wine went down her throat.

Wu Jie didn’t know if the taste was good or not.

After all, he was neither a wine connoisseur nor a frequent drinker.

But at times of restlessness or hot weather, sipping something ice-cold was damn satisfying!

Phew!

“Early in the morning, having iced red wine with a beautiful woman like you, it’s really comfortable!”

Wu Jie put down his glass and picked up his chopsticks.

Chu Yunxuan hurriedly put down her glass, grabbed her chopsticks, and served Wu Jie some meat.

“Try this beef.

I went down to the supermarket this morning and bought the freshest, most expensive beef.

I usually can’t bear to buy it for myself, but I wanted to make sure you had a good meal and drink today, so I spent quite a bit of money!”

Wu Jie looked at Chu Yunxuan, slowly chewing on the beef he had picked up.

Beauty!

Delicacies!

Fine wine!

There once was a time.

When Chu Yunxuan, the campus belle of Tianyuan University of Technology, was out of reach in the eyes of the poor, average student Wu Jie.

She was a goddess for otakus, to be admired from afar, never approached too closely.

A beautiful face and a tall, lithe figure.

Even in simple casual wear, she had an untouchable ‘goddess vibe’.

Many times, he could only watch from a distance.

They brushed past each other once in a while, making his heart race with nervousness.

He dreamt of her countless times, captivated in his midnight reveries.

Back then, just like many ordinary students, Wu Jie dared only admire her from afar and could never muster the courage to approach.

Even a single eye contact left him flustered and discomposed.

Helpless!

He always felt that such a beautiful goddess must have a rich and handsome boyfriend, or come from a well-off family with exquisite taste.

She would never give a second glance to an ordinary guy like himself, so why bother and humiliate himself?

But now…

The campus beauty of years past had long shed her inexperienced innocence.

She wore sophisticated makeup and eye-catching dresses.

Her waterfall of wavy hair casually draped over her shoulders.

Her perfect features were beyond reproach.

A frown or a smile from her was captivating.

So…

As Chu Yunxuan said, things were different from before.

In school, Chu Yunxuan was the untouchable beauty queen, while Wu Jie was just an ordinary student, with no hope of their paths ever crossing.

Now, Wu Jie is not only the Tang Family’s son-in-law but also a billionaire, no longer the average Joe.

And to secure a sales deal worth hundreds of millions, Chu Yunxuan dared to sacrifice her beauty.

Therefore!

Where was the insurmountable height?

Where was the pristine purity?

If Wu Jie had remained a poor, single laborer, Chu Yunxuan probably wouldn’t have given him a second glance.

But on the contrary, Wu Jie had what Chu Yunxuan needed most—money.

Chewing on beef, gazing at a sexy beauty, Wu Jie truly thought that money is damn powerful!

With money, you’re fated to connect with anyone!

What of the beauty queen?

What of the supreme treasure of humanity?

Isn’t she still messaging in the middle of the night?

Isn’t she still dressing up meticulously and using sweet words trying to please the brother?

So you see!

There are no goddesses you can’t date; it’s just a matter of not having money or power!

“It turns out that with money, you really can do whatever you want!”

With this thought, Wu Jie couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckle softly.

In an instant!

Chu Yunxuan’s eyebrows knit together sharply, and she asked in alarm,

“What’s wrong?

Does it not taste good?”

“Sigh!

Although this is already the most expensive beef in the supermarket, it really can’t compare to something like Kobe beef.”

During the conversation, Chu Yunxuan was especially anxious.

Success or failure, it all hinged on today!

The special offer from the company’s board to Wu Jie was 340 million for four apartments plus a sales office, not a penny less.

Compared to the 350 million previously offered by Chief Sun, it was a whole 10 million less, an even greater discount.

Offering the most generous terms also meant imposing tremendous pressure on Chu Yunxuan.

With her professional instincts, she could clearly sense.

If she failed to secure this deal, her position as the sales director would definitely be at stake.

For the sake of the company, and even more for her own sake.

Chu Yunxuan had been driven into a corner, forced to use her ‘trump card’!

So, let’s not let a piece of beef ruin the plan, shall we!

Anxiety!

Unease!

Chu Yunxuan looked at Wu Jie with pitiable eyes.

Seeing this, Wu Jie shook his head and laughed,

“Why are you nervous?

I wasn’t shaking my head because the beef isn’t tasty, but because I feel like fate is playing tricks on us!”

Chu Yunxuan heaved a quiet sigh of relief internally.

“Why would you suddenly think that?” Chu Yunxuan continued to pick up beef, smiling as she asked.

Wu Jie laughed and said, “Do you know who I was two months ago?

Just a little presales engineer!”

“Endless tender proposals to write.

Countless communication calls to make, struggling just to keep a job at a top 500 company!”

“Living in a partitioned room, eating fast food meals, always taking public transport, never daring to take a taxi!”

“In this Tianyuan, where house prices are tens of thousands per square meter, saving for years wouldn’t even buy a toilet.

I didn’t know what I was busy with every day.”

Taking a brief pause, Wu Jie laughed self-deprecatingly,

“But who would have thought?

I happened to fall in love with Tang Xiao, and then it genuinely was like rising 90,000 li straight upward!”

“Getting promoted, receiving a salary raise, moving into a mansion, driving luxury cars, casually putting together an acquisition, and earning billions under the watchful eyes of my wife and father-in-law!”

“Attending charity galas, entrepreneur forums, sitting on a par with top tycoons, and exchanging pleasantries with big stars!”

“Any business I start gets support from all quarters, like I’ve enabled a cheat mode, and it just explodes in popularity.”

“Yunxuan, what do you think is the reason for this?”

Chu Yunxuan was profoundly shaken.

Yunxuan?

This form of address suddenly felt a little too intimate!

“Because…

you have good fortune!”

“All the bad luck from the past was to accumulate good karma for today, which is why you could skyrocket so quickly!”

“And because it’s so rare and the odds are so low, that’s why millions of netizens say you’re the model for the Underdog Counterattack!”

Chu Yunxuan raised her glass, smiling radiantly,

“Come on, let’s not dwell on the bitter-sweet past!”

Wu Jie raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, “I can hold my liquor well, aren’t you afraid I’ll drink you under the table?”

Chu Yunxuan smiled coquettishly and clinked glasses lightly,

“Wouldn’t that just be liquid courage anyway?”
