"Son, I know you’re upset right now, but for the sake of the bigger picture, you need to endure this for now"
Qin Mu yun advised.
"Nian Jinsui is the type who thrives on making a fuss. If this incident gets blown up and reaches your grandfather’s ears, it’ll be hard to handle."
Compared to Qin Cheng luo, Qin Mu yun was slightly more level-headed.
Although she was angry, she hadn’t lost her rationality.
With Qin Zhuo currently evaluating Qin Cheng luo, they couldn’t afford to take any risks.
Qin Cheng luo, though unwilling, understood the gravity of the situation.
"Don’t worry, Mom. Once I become the head of Qin Corporation, handling Qin Chengyu will be a piece of cake. I’ll make sure Nian Jinsui kneels before me, begging for my mark!"
"Someone that even Chu Heting doesn’t want—what’s so special about him? If it weren’t for the fact that he’s the only son of the Nian family, who could tolerate his temper? Nian Jinsui is so arrogant; he’d never marry beneath him. Once the Chu family discards him, only our Qin family will be a match for him. By then, he’ll have no choice but to come begging to us. And when he does, I’ll make sure to teach him a lesson and fix his bratty behavior."
Qin Muyun spoke with conviction, already fantasizing about how she’d discipline Nian Jinsui in the future.
"You’re right, Mom. There’s no rush. Whether it’s the Qin Corporation or Nian Jinsui, they’ll all end up in my hands sooner or later."
The mother and son talked on, growing more optimistic about their future,
as though the position of head of the Qin family was already within their grasp.
During lunch at the cafeteria that day, Ning Liang an approached Nian Jin sui and said:
"Young Master Nian, I wanted to let you know that I’ve signed up for the academy’s work-study program. The school assigned me a job in the cafeteria, which includes meals, so starting tomorrow, I won’t be able to eat with you all anymore."
"Alright, no problem. Let’s meet up outside for a meal during the holidays,"
Nian Jin sui replied with a nod.
After all, his original intention in inviting Ning Liang an to eat with him was to show everyone that they were on good terms, deterring others from bullying him.
Now that the goal had been achieved, and with Chu Hejun acting as Ning Liang’an’s protector,
Nian Jinsui didn’t need to worry anymore.
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang was the happiest of all—
finally, he wouldn’t have to sit alone at a separate table.
Even Qin Chengyu couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief.
With one less person vying for Nian Jin sui’s attention,
wasn’t that a good thing?
"From now on, come to the counter I’m assigned to for meals. I’ll give you double portions!"
Ning Liang an offered generously.
Nian Jin sui laughed.
"Please don’t. I don’t want you to get fired because of me."
Nian Jin sui had assumed that with Ning Liang an no longer eating with them,
Chu Hejun would also stop showing up.
But the next day, Nian Jin sui was surprised to see Chu He jun at the dining table again.
"Why are you here? Didn’t you hear what Ning Liang an said yesterday?"
Nian Jin sui asked, exasperated at the sight of Chu He jun.
"I heard it, but what does that have to do with me?"
Chu He jun replied shamelessly, sitting down to eat.
"Do I have to spell it out for you?"
Nian Jin sui frowned.
According to the novel, this is the part where Chu He jun is supposed to start bonding with Ning Liang an.
Why isn’t he spending time with Ning Liang an and instead hanging around me?
"Fine, go ahead and spell it out. Why are you so nice to Ning Liang an? Don’t you know he’s your rival in love?"
Chu He jun asked directly, scrutinizing Nian Jin sui.
Caught off guard by Chu Hejun’s bluntness, Nian Jinsui could only reply awkwardly,
"I’m just worried you’ll badmouth me to Brother Ting."
Hearing this, Ye Kang thought to himself:
I knew it. This confirms my suspicions.
I always found it strange that Nian Jin sui wasn’t bullying Ning Liang an—it’s so unlike him.
Turns out it’s all because Chu He jun showed up.
He’s putting on a good act; even I was almost fooled.
But Chu He jun remained skeptical.
"Really? That’s all there is to it?"
"What else could it be? Just stay away from me in the future. We clearly don’t get along, and it ruins my appetite,"
Nian Jin sui snapped, hoping Chu He jun would go focus on building his relationship with Ning Liang an.
Chu He jun studied Nian Jinsui for a moment before replying noncommittally,
"Well, my appetite isn’t so easily affected."
Nian Jin sui assumed Chu He jun was just saying that.
But to his dismay, Chu He jun continued to show up at the cafeteria like clockwork, sticking to him like glue.
"Chu He jun, are you some kind of leech?"
Nian Jin sui gritted his teeth, clutching his chopsticks tightly.
"Nian Jin sui, don’t say I never share good news with you. There’s a celebration banquet for the Chu Corporation’s project next Saturday at the Imperial Tower,"
Chu He jun said, handing Nian Jin sui an invitation.
"My brother is the main figure there. You wouldn’t want to miss it, would you?"
Nian Jin sui immediately recognized the banquet.
Chu He ting was the project leader, and this marked his first independently completed project, which had achieved impressive results.
It was also the first business banquet he would attend as a member of Chu Corporation’s management team.
In other words, this celebration banquet was of great significance to Chu He ting.
In the novel, Nian Jin sui had gone out of his way to secure an invitation from Chu He ting’s mother to attend the event.
But now, Chu He jun was delivering the invitation directly to him.
Nian Jinsui narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Chu He jun.
"Why are you being so kind?"
"Take it or leave it,"
Chu He jun said, pretending to withdraw the invitation.
[Mission Notification: The host is required to attend the Chu Corporation project celebration banquet on time and dress formally as described in the original text.]
Hearing the system’s notification, Nian Jin sui quickly snatched the invitation from Chu He jun’s hand.
"Thanks,"
he said, deciding that he’d rather owe Chu He jun a favor than deal with Chu He ting’s mother again.
Regardless of Chu He jun’s motives, Nian Jin sui felt genuinely grateful for the gesture.
As for why Chu He jun had decided to give the invitation to Nian Jin sui, it was simply because,
after spending time with him recently,
Chu He jun had realized that Nian Jin sui wasn’t quite the person he had imagined.
