Chapter 384 - Chapter 384: Chapter Three-Hundred and Eighty-Four: New Acquaintance (2/2)

I think this must be fate, so I shamelessly came over to get to know you.” Lan

Long extended his hand to Yun Nan. “Hello!”

Yun Nan’s phone rang, interrupting Lan Long. Yun Nan grabbed her phone and answered the call. “Hey, Fang Xi!”

“Are you at ‘Creative Yun? Come back quickly! It’s urgent!” Fang Xi stated, sounding very serious.

“Okay! I’ll be right there!” Yun Nan stood up to leave, nodding slightly at Lan Long as she went.

Lan Long looked at his outstretched hand and shrugged before retracting it. He felt like a feather had lightly brushed across his heart as he stared at Yun Nan’s retreating figure. ‘It’s right when they say, “The unattainable is the most attractive. “‘

Shi Xiu didn’t forget about the ‘debtee’ she’d left in ‘Creative Yun.’ She rushed over after she’d finished her live broadcast and sighed in relief when she saw Lan Long looking at his phone in one of the coffee shop’s booths. She hurried over and immediately apologized, “I’m sorry. I’m really sorry for making you wait.”

Lan Long put down his phone and gave her a gentle smile. “It’s fine. I don’t have anywhere to be, anyway. It makes no difference where I spend my time.”

“Let me treat you to coffee,” Shi Xiu said. “What would you like to drink? Dong Dong!” Shi Xiu called out to the barista.

Dong Dong walked over, and Shi Xiu asked for a glass of fruit juice for herself.

Lan Long chuckled, “I’ll have the same; a glass of fruit juice for me, please.”

Shi Xiu graciously stretched out her hand. “Let’s start over. My name is Shi Xiu. I’m an employee of Yun Innovations, the entertainment company up the road.”

Lan Long shook Shi Xiu’s hand and smiled as he introduced himself. “I’m Lan Long, currently unemployed. I just came back from abroad. I’m what they call a

‘seaweed!”‘

Shi Xiu was stunned before she laughed. “Seaweed? *Laughs* This is the first time I’ve heard someone describe themselves like that.”

Lan Long chortled, “Because, for all the education I’ve received overseas, I’m indeed useless. I’m relying on my father to arrange everything for me while waiting for employment—aka a seaweed.”

Lan Long’s humor immediately drew the two closer. They happily chatted as they drank their juice.

Yun Nan returned to her office, and Fang Xi handed her a report with a solemn expression. “As expected, Yun Liu released some photos. She didn’t mention Shi Nian and was deliberately vague to arouse conjecture. It’ll be more talked about that way. She’s in the top ten on the trending searches today. Although she’s currently at the bottom of the list, anyone can tell she’s building momentum and is poised to attack. On our side, Shi Xiu’s show has just taken off.. It’ll be a real shame to let Yun Liu ruin it!”
