Chapter 256

Confirming that the person in front of her was indeed Jiang Lingchuan, Gu Lianxing walked up to him in disbelief and even raised her hand to wave it vigorously in front of him: "Can you see clearly?"

Jiang Lingchuan frowned and dodged backward. It had to be said that even the way he frowned after taking off his glasses looked very good.

Gu Lianxing found it novel, because Jiang Lingchuan looked like a different person after taking off his glasses. She looked him up and down with some surprise: "Handsome, Jiang Lingchuan. I never thought you were this handsome before. I didn't expect your looks to be sealed by your glasses!"

"Did you switch to contact lenses?"

Jiang Lingchuan's gaze glanced at Shen Ci, who was walking over, and he said in a low voice: "I had myopia surgery."

"You had surgery?" Gu Lianxing exclaimed: "That means you don't have to wear glasses anymore? Oh, if I had known you looked like this without glasses, I should have persuaded you to do it earlier. Maybe you would have already dated a few girlfriends."

Hearing Gu Lianxing's thoughtless words, Jiang Lingchuan's face soured: "I didn't have the surgery to find a girlfriend."

Shen Ci came closer, looking at him with a meaningful smile. She didn't expect that the suggestion she made casually at the time would actually be taken to heart by him. This execution was also quite good; he did it as soon as he said he would.

And the effect was the same as she had imagined. Jiang Lingchuan was a fair-skinned, handsome guy, but he was usually dull in nature, so wearing those large frames on his face made him look stiff and wooden.

Taking off the glasses, the stiffness and woodenness turned into cold pride and depth; his temperament had changed!

Seeing Shen Ci, Jiang Lingchuan couldn't help but feel guilty, but after he finished, his parents and Uncle Gu praised him for looking much more spirited, so he knew Shen Ci's suggestion was right.

"Classmate Shen Ci suggested I do it." Jiang Lingchuan actually said it directly.

Gu Lianxing stared at Shen Ci, her expression very surprised: "Honey, you suggested it?"

"Yeah, I thought he would look very good without glasses, so I suggested he switch to contacts or just have myopia surgery. I didn't expect the effect to be surprisingly good." As Shen Ci said this, she deliberately looked at Gu Lianxing and asked: "Isn't he very handsome?"

Gu Lianxing nodded repeatedly: "Handsome, handsome."

Hearing her praise him as handsome for the first time from Gu Lianxing's mouth, Jiang Lingchuan felt a little excited inside, but he didn't show it.

"Are you still learning to drive?"

Jiang Lingchuan suddenly looked at Gu Lianxing and asked.

Gu Lianxing blurted out: "Learning, of course. I've even chosen what car to buy, I definitely have to learn."

"School is starting soon."

"So what? You can still learn when school starts!"

Jiang Lingchuan didn't speak. She had only learned for one winter break, and it could be said that she hadn't learned anything at all, and she had even gotten herself hurt.

The two said goodbye to Shen Ci and walked toward the Gu family home together. On the way back, Gu Lianxing still couldn't help but keep staring at Jiang Lingchuan, faintly seeing some shadows of his youth.

In elementary school, he didn't wear glasses either, but he hadn't grown into his looks then, and she didn't have much concept of whether boys were handsome or not.

After middle school, he started wearing glasses, and the lenses became thicker and thicker, which made his temperament seem dull.

"Have you seen enough?" Jiang Lingchuan felt unnatural being stared at by her; no girl would stare at someone else's face like that.

Gu Lianxing smiled brightly and said without concealment: "I didn't expect you to be quite handsome when you grew up. Aci is truly wise!"

He was praised as handsome again.

Jiang Lingchuan's face turned slightly red, especially since he was born fair, so it was very obvious when his face turned even slightly red.

But Gu Lianxing was thick-skinned and didn't notice it at all, just continuing to say to herself: "If I had helped you think of this earlier, maybe you would have been the school hunk. I think the so-called school hunk we had in high school wasn't as good-looking as you are now."

Jiang Lingchuan said in a low voice: "Alright, don't say anymore."

Gu Lianxing: "Maybe there will be many girls chasing you."

Jiang Lingchuan: "..."

"Then do you have a girl you like? If you do, go confess when school starts. Maybe it will work!"

"..."

"I'm serious, why aren't you talking?"

"..."

Shen Ci returned home and felt the house was cold, couldn't help but sigh that humans are indeed social animals.

She made an appointment with the property management for a cleaning service from a housekeeping team, thinking that school was starting soon, so the house should be cleaned up properly.

Just at this time, someone in the team group tagged her.

"Junior, the cooperation with the Gu family has been signed today. As of now, our project has reached cooperation with twenty companies in the country. Shouldn't we celebrate?"

Ge Youcai's message made one imagine his joy just through the text.

Others in the group also echoed one after another.

Shen Ci smiled and typed a reply: "Everyone has been running projects non-stop since coming back from the New Year, and school is about to start. We should get together."

"Then tonight?"

"The usual place?"

"Forget the usual place. For such an important gathering, let's choose a better restaurant. Everyone should be extravagant for once!"

"Agreed!"

Shen Ci thought for a moment and shared the address of "Shuiyun Jian" in the group: "The investor is treating us today, let's eat here!"

Seeing it was Shuiyun Jian, everyone was both surprised and happy!

"I know this place, one of the best business clubs in the country!"

"I passed by it yesterday. The facade is both low-key and luxurious, it has so much style!"

"The junior really knows how to choose a place. We should go to this kind of place to eat this time!"

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Shen Ci set the time directly: "Then at six o'clock tonight, don't be late, not a single person can be missing!"

Night fell, and it was still dark early in Longcheng. At six o'clock, the neon lights were already on.

Shen Ci, wrapped in a khaki cashmere coat, quickly entered "Shuiyun Jian." The well-featured staff member greeted her immediately: "Welcome to Shuiyun Jian."

"Miss Shen Ci?"

As soon as the waiter finished speaking, another voice followed. Shen Ci looked in the direction of the sound and was stunned, then happy: "Sister Zhu Li!"

Zhu Li was wearing a capable professional suit for women, looking at Shen Ci and asking curiously: "Why did you come at this time? Boss Yang just finished a financial audit of 'Shuiyun Jian' with the audit team this afternoon and just left a while ago."

"I know, he told me," Shen Ci said naturally: "I invited friends to eat here today."

Hearing this, Zhu Li nodded knowingly, turned to instruct the waiter to get busy, and personally accompanied Shen Ci upstairs.

"Miss Shen Ci is still studying, right?"

In the elevator, Zhu Li asked casually.

Shen Ci nodded, her gaze falling on Zhu Li, and said: "Sister Zhu Li, your head office has problems, and most of the investments in China are going to be sold off. You should also be affected, right?"

She didn't expect Shen Ci to ask so bluntly, but this wasn't something worth hiding. Zhu Li smiled slightly, but the smile was slightly bitter: "I will definitely be affected, but no matter what, I am in this position now, so I must stand the last shift for the company. I'll do my best and leave the rest to fate."
