Pro-Mom Fan Transmigrates into Villainess

Chapter 9 – Are we friends now?

Before she knew it, it was next Tuesday, the day Qi Anan had been worrying about. After school was over that day, Jiang Lu packed up his things and walked out of the school. Sure enough, he didn’t go in the usual direction of going home.

Qi Yan arrived at the school door on time to pick up Qi Anan, and when he saw her, he smiled: “How is it? Brother kept your promise.”

Qi Anan got in the car and fastened her seat belt while praising her Golden retriever brother: “How can I not believe you? You’re the best.”

praising: 顺毛 shùnmáo usually refers to touching an animal’s hair to make them happy. In this case, it means praising him for making him happy.

“By the way, I won’t sit with you for a bit. I’ll look at you from a distance.”

Qi Yan didn’t understand: “Why? Weren’t you curious to see him?”

Ugh, he didn’t understand. The cub was a very sensitive person, and he was very thoughtful at a young age. If she sat there, she didn’t know if it would make him overthink.

Looking at it from a distance and thinking optimistically, in case nothing happens today, she can end this escort mission while hiding her glory and fame. If there really was an accident, she can also take action immediately.

Qi Anan said: “If you talk about business, I will disturb you if I sit over.”

Qi Yan shook his head and smiled, his eyes full of doting. Forget it; Anan could do whatever she wanted. Anyway, with him there, nothing will happen. Now his sister was much more lively and funny than before, and she was always coquettish with him and was more likable than before. He let her do whatever she wanted.

The place where they met was a high-end coffee shop. To avoid the plot to a greater extent, Qi Anan asked Qi Yan to book a private room, and she sat behind a privacy screen in the dining room outside the private room.

Jiang Lu arrived a few minutes earlier than the agreed time. He walked directly to the private room, not paying attention to Qi Anan outside.

Qi Yan waited for two minutes, and when he saw Jiang Lu pushing the door in, he got up to shake hands with him like a gentleman fitting the occasion: “Hello, Qi Yan.”

On this side, Qi Yan remembered that this young man seemed to be Anan’s classmate that day.

Jiang Lu endured the physical contact, tensely shook his hand, and immediately let go: “Jiang Lu.”

Qi Yan had only known Jiang Lu a little while before, knowing that he wasn’t old and still in school, so he looked at the door: “Hey? Where are your parents?”

Signing a contract was a big deal, especially with a well-known game company like his. In his imagination, the other party must be a little lord who grew up with a lot of money and was pampered and nurtured by his family. The family must be proud of such achievements at a young age.

Today, it was normal to come together even if parents were present, grandparents or a few more relatives were. And now, this situation was something Qi Yan didn’t expect, let alone other relatives. He didn’t even see his parents.

Jiang Lu looked at him calmly: “I have no parents.”

As soon as he entered the door, he also recognized him. This was the man who called out Qi Anan in the car on the street that day. At that time, Qi Anan said that this was her brother. Looking at his appearance, behavior, and name, it seemed that he was still her brother.

Jiang Lu’s gaze crossed Qi Yan’s face. He put his hand on the table, and no emotion could be seen on his face.

Qi Yan became somewhat interested. The young man in front of him was indifferent and cold, without any arrogance and excitement like a child’s. He was even calmer than him. It was completely different from what he had expected.

Since he had such a calmness far beyond his age, Qi Yan saved the opening remarks and pushed the contract over: “Take a look at the contract. According to what we discussed, if there’s anything that needs to be discussed. Let me know.”

Jiang Lu stared at the thick stack of black and white characters in front of him, and his slender fingers lightly tapped the table.

He had to admit that before entering the door, he wanted to sign this contract. After all, he had to support himself with his own hands.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Jiang Lu pushed the contract back: “I’m sorry, I don’t want to sign it anymore. I’m very sorry for wasting your time.”

“Why don’t you want to sign it?” Qi Yan never expected Jiang Lu’s reaction. “You didn’t even read the contract.”

He thought for a while and said: “You’re still in school. You’re a half-grown child in my eyes. We don’t need to play those dumb riddles in the business world. I know you’re very famous, and I’m definitely not the only company that wants to sign you. If you have any opinions on salary, you can tell me straight. It’s okay.”

In fact, Qi Yan couldn’t figure it out. Their company was well-known in the industry, and even amateurs had heard a word or two. The other side had a lot of qualifications. However, when all was said and done, he was still young and couldn’t compare with the veteran master artists, but to offer a seven-figure annual salary wasn’t a bad deal. Qi Yan felt that almost no company could treat him more favorably than him.

Jiang Lu shook his head: “It’s not because of these. It’s because of personal reasons. I’m sorry.”

It wasn’t because he wasn’t satisfied with the conditions offered by the other party. Although other companies have indeed contacted him, it wasn’t at all why he changed his mind on the spot. If he had to find out the reason was… It was because of the identity of the person in front of him.

He suddenly resisted when he learned that his boss was Qi Anan’s brother.

He couldn’t tell what was wrong with him. He obviously didn’t hate Qi Anan at all anymore.

Seeing Jiang Lu’s determined attitude, Qi Yan didn’t say anything: “Well, I respect your wishes. If you still have intentions in the future, I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate.”

Jiang Lu stood up: “I’m sorry to make you come for nothing.”

Qi Yan smiled and shook his hand: “That’s okay, don’t be so polite. I’ll just…”

Before he finished speaking, the private room door was suddenly pushed open, and a man with a shiny face and a beer belly walked in from outside.

Seeing someone inside, he was taken aback, and he said, “I made a mistake,” and turned around to leave, but his eyes fell on Jiang Lu. He stared at Jiang Lu to death.
