God of Racing

Chapter 631 - 618:

"Uh?" Ou Guanshen was taken aback, thoughtfully saying, "Now that you mention it, I do find it... somewhat familiar."

That encounter at the gate of Guan Chao a few years ago had become a very faint memory.

"Do you need to look into it?"

"Are you very idle?" Helian Si glanced at him, "You receive a high salary, and there’s plenty for you to do every day. Guan Chao emphasizes efficiency. Since she passed the written test, she must have been initially vetted. What more is there to check? Why repeat work?"

"Yes."

Helian Si thought for a moment and said lightly, "Take her with you in the evening..."

"..." Ou Guanshen froze, then agreed, "Yes."

"Also." Helian Si frowned, "You should prepare..."

...

With only three hours, Yu Sangwan hastily returned to the Fu Family residence.

Though she didn’t quite understand why she had to have dinner with Helian Si, whom she’d only met once... nonetheless, proper etiquette still had to be maintained.

Yu Sangwan entered the dressing room, changed into another outfit, still formal wear, but the neckline and cuffs had some alterations, adding a touch of femininity. In front of the vanity, Yu Sangwan was selecting jewelry. As the legitimate heiress of the Fu Family now, she wasn’t flamboyant.

She chose a Tiffany heart-shaped diamond-studded necklace from the jewelry box, wearing it elegantly and subtly.

"Mom!"

The door was suddenly thrust open, and Little Mantou sprinted in, sweaty, right into Yu Sangwan’s arms.

"Playing wild until now? Doesn’t Mr. Lu ever stop, doesn’t he get tired?"

"Hehe..." Little Mantou stuck out his tongue laughing, suddenly leaning in to sniff his mom with intensity, his expression turning to a grievance, "Mom, you’re dressed so beautifully, wearing perfume, ah..."

The little guy spied the necklace on Yu Sangwan’s neck, growing more upset, "Mom, you never wear these things!"

"What’s wrong?" Yu Sangwan chuckled, not understanding her son’s agitation, "Mom needs to get a bit dressed up... Mr. Lu, aren’t you overreacting?"

Yu Sangwan lifted her wrist to check her watch; three hours’ time, back and forth, plus getting dressed took a good amount of time... She always had to leave early, couldn’t keep the President waiting.

"Mantou, Mom has to go out now... Might be back a bit late tonight, don’t give the aunt grief, you’re five now, a little man, alright?"

After briefly explaining, Yu Sangwan picked up her handbag and stood up, kissing her son’s sweaty face, "Mom’s off, Mr. Lu, go take a bath... Manliness is not a sweaty smell!"

"Mom..."

Little Mantou couldn’t stop his mom, feeling heavy-hearted.

He pattered into a room, picked up the phone, and dialed a number.

After a long while, the other side picked up, "Hello, who is this?"

"Ah Sheng!" Little Mantou furrowed his brow; despite a childish face, he was serious, "How long will you stay in the West? I’m telling you, if you don’t come back soon, even I won’t be able to help you!"

Le Zhengsheng was startled, then laughed, "What’s wrong, is there something up with Mr. Lu?"

"Hmph!" Little Mantou grumbled, "My mom actually put on a dress! Knee-length too! Plus, she wore perfume... that glittery necklace you gave her, she never wore it, but today she did!"

Le Zhengsheng stopped laughing, "What’s going on?"

"Hmph hmph." Little Mantou felt smug, "Getting nervous? You’re really useless! If you’re pursuing, hurry up! I think something’s up with my mom... You’re too slow! If you were faster, I wouldn’t be Mr. Lu now, I’d be Mr. Le Zheng! Who knows what ’Mr.’ I’ll become in the future..."

Le Zhengsheng’s mind was clearly elsewhere, "Little Mantou, help uncle keep an eye out, uncle will come back as soon as possible."

"Ah!" Little Mantou sighed heavily, "Really worrying oneself to bits!"

...

Yu Sangwan arrived half an hour early, quietly standing at the door to wait. She used to run news stories where the wait times could be very long, so half an hour wasn’t much to her.

At precisely seven, the door ahead opened, Helian Si led a group out in grandeur.

Seeing Yu Sangwan, a hint of appreciation flashed in Helian Si’s eyes. He looked at the spot by his side, "Come, to my right."

On his left was Ou Guanshen.

"Yes." Yu Sangwan kept her hands clasped, moved to his side, and stood firm.

Helian Si said nothing, silent as he continued forward.

Yu Sangwan was slightly stunned, what’s going on? Weren’t... they supposed to eat? Her mind was full of questions, but she dared not speak!

Outside, they switched to another car at the gate of Guan Chao.

Yu Sangwan froze; should she follow? But which car should she board?

Ou Guanshen glanced at her, then asked Helian Si, "President?"

Helian Si seemed to have forgotten about her, suddenly realizing, and frowning as if in a dilemma, "Come ride with me!"

"... Yes." Yu Sangwan moved herself over, waiting for Helian Si to get in before opening the door.

Peering in, she found him seated right in the middle. Where... should she sit?

Helian Si raised his eyebrows slightly, taking a sidelong look at her, and moved over a bit. He was used to sitting alone, really had become second nature.

The car moved, heading from Guan Chao to the back of Zhiwei Zhai... Tonight there, Helian Si was to have dinner with academic experts. Only when she vaguely saw the Zhiwei Zhai sign did Yu Sangwan realize she had misunderstood... She thought Helian Si intended a private dinner!

Realizing this, Yu Sangwan’s cheeks felt warm. What was she... thinking?

Zhiwei Zhai was always used for official functions, all large banquets held there.

Since they weren’t going to be alone, Yu Sangwan felt a bit more relaxed mentally. She and Ou Guanshen followed Helian Si into Zhiwei Zhai, flanking him.

Just as they entered, resounding applause started from inside. Yu Sangwan gave a side glance, spotting her father, Fu Xianlin.

Faced with these experts, finally a smile appeared on Helian Si’s face, though intentionally polite and formal, "Experts, thank you for waiting... Today is just for eating and drinking, not for work; inviting you here is to properly thank you."

Various grateful responses came from the floor, Yu Sangwan stood among the crowd and winked at her father, Fu Xianlin.

Fu Xianlin was shocked to see his daughter... Why was she here?

However, Yu Sangwan’s achievements were based on her merit from exams, and having just returned, none actually knew about Yu Sangwan’s connection to Fu Xianlin.

Suddenly, Helian Si walked toward Fu Xianlin.

"Mr. Fu." Helian Si slightly bowed; for him, this was a great courtesy.

"President." Fu Xianlin hurriedly returned the courtesy, "You are too kind."

"It’s only right." Helian Si smiled, "Thanks to Mr. Fu’s efforts over five years in the West, the Western development has fast-forwarded twenty years, all thanks to you, sir."

"Not at all."

Helian Si raised a hand, pointing to Yu Sangwan, "Come, the first glass tonight is to be toasted to Mr. Fu."
