Part 9: Duel
While eating, Si Si is still upset that they didn’t come earlier. Otherwise, they might have been eating their meal at the table next to Xiao Nai. Er Xi knocks her out of it by saying, “Stop dreaming. The people with brother Xiao looked like professionals. They needed to discuss business; and definitely reserved a private room.”
On the side, Xiao Ling tries to hold in what she wants to say, but ends up saying, “I heard that it seems like brother Xiao’s company has run into some problems.”
“No way.”
Wei Wei and Er Xi also have looks of disbelief on them. To the underclassmen of the Computer Science Department, Xiao Nai exists on a spiritual level. How can there be problems?
“I heard from Da Zhong. Da Zhong has a basketball teammate who went to work for Xiao Nai’s company after graduating. The day before yesterday, he was eating lunch with Da Zhong and divulged a few things after drinking a lot. It seems like it’s a problem with investments. It happened in just these few days.”
Si Si says: “I still don’t really believe it. It’s Xiao Nai!”
Wei Wei, who is in the middle of biting into a chicken wing and can’t say anything, nods her head fiercely to express her agreement on what is just said. It’s Xiao Nai! If someone who is really tremendous and really formidable is know as an ox (牛 trans: awesome), then Xiao Nai has to be an rhinoceros (犀牛) ~~~ rhinoceros is a rare ox, a rarely seen ox…Can there also be things he can’t resolve?
Then again, thinking about Xiao Nai’s expression just now, underneath the light; he was still chatting and smiling before he became apathetic in the blink of an eye. Wei Wei isn’t very sure anymore.
Er Xi asks knowingly, “Is it a funding problem?”
“I don’t know.” Xiao Ling emphasizes, “I can’t guarantee the reliability of this, but even if this is false, you guys had better not talk about it to others.”
“Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.” Wei Wei nods and says, unclearly, with a chicken wing in her mouth, “Promise, won’t say anything. It’ll disappear like today’s chicken wings.” Read more
