Chapter 327: A Name You’ll Remember Once You Hear It

With Lu Yunque having said as much, Sheng Hao knew that if he didn’t get Sheng Tian under control this time and she caused trouble again, Lu Yunque would no longer let her off for the Sheng Family’s sake.

Although he wasn’t particularly fond of his cousin Sheng Tian, she was still a member of the Sheng Family, so Sheng Hao had to look out for her to some degree.

Yun Zijin didn’t get involved in the negotiations between Lu Yunque and Sheng Hao. As long as Sheng Tian didn’t cross her, it was fine. Otherwise, she wouldn’t hold back.

Even though she knew Sheng Hao, Yun Zijin was definitely not the type of person to compromise her own principles just to let someone off the hook.

Although they had chosen a secluded spot, with the status of Lu Yunque and his friends, any place they occupied would become the center of attention.

They hadn’t been sitting for long before people started trickling over to greet them. The more brazen ones even sat down, hoping to talk business with Lu Yunque and his group.

All the chatter was giving Yun Zijin a headache. She excused herself to Lu Yunque and relocated.

Watching Yun Zijin leave, Lu Yunque grew resentful of the people who kept interrupting them, and his expression darkened instantly.

Li Yuexing, Fu Ze, and Sheng Hao wore similar expressions to Lu Yunque.

The others also noticed that after Yun Zijin left, the four men instantly became much more difficult to approach, and they cursed their luck inwardly.

’Why did Miss Yun have to leave?’

Without Yun Zijin, the number of people who dared to approach Lu Yunque’s group of four dwindled significantly.

Meanwhile, Yun Zijin found Su Mengyao and sat down with her and her friends.

"Zijin, why are you by yourself? Didn’t President Xiao Lu come with you?"

Cheng Yushu’s eyes lit up when she saw Yun Zijin, and she blurted out the question before she could think.

Hearing Cheng Yushu mention Lu Yunque, Yun Zijin smiled. "A bunch of people were over there talking business, and I couldn’t understand any of it, so I just left."

Yun Zijin had never considered her lack of business acumen to be a problem.

"Ah! If you don’t understand any of that, don’t you worry you won’t have anything in common to talk about with President Xiao Lu?"

Zhu Yuehua looked surprised, as if this was the first time she’d heard that Yun Zijin didn’t understand business.

Yun Zijin glanced at Zhu Yuehua. ’She and Cheng Yushu seem to have changed a lot since that party at Yungong No. 1.’

’Maybe I just didn’t know them well before, or maybe I just had the wrong impression.’

"Do you talk about work with your family and friends outside of office hours? You must really love your job, then."

She used to have a good impression of them, but it was now clear their values weren’t compatible, so Yun Zijin didn’t bother being polite.

Su Mengyao, sitting beside them, looked a little awkward.

After all, it was through her that Cheng Yushu and Zhu Yuehua had met Yun Zijin.

’They had been fine before. I can’t believe they changed so much after just one party at Yungong No. 1. They don’t seem like the people I used to know.’

Cheng Yushu and Zhu Yuehua just smiled and said nothing.

"So you’re Yun Zijin? The woman who, according to legend, landed the CEO of the Lu Family?"

A girl sitting on Su Mengyao’s other side spoke up at that moment.

However, as the girl asked the question, Yun Zijin could tell that she was just genuinely curious.

"Yes, I’m Yun Zijin."

Yun Zijin only confirmed her name. As for "landing" Lu Yunque, she didn’t feel it was anything to brag about.

’We’re just in a normal relationship. If we decide we’re not right for each other later on, we might break up.’

’But, if Lu Yunque and I really did break up, I can only imagine how the socialites of Dijing would mock me behind my back.’

’Then again, there’s no point in thinking about that now. Maybe we really will make it to the end.’

’No one knows the final outcome until the very last moment.’

"Wow! I had no idea you were this beautiful. I’ve been wondering what kind of girl it would take to make President Xiao Lu fall for someone.

Now that I’ve seen you, I know it was only natural.

If I weren’t a girl, I’d want to chase after you myself."

A sucker for a pretty face is just that impulsive.

"Thank you, you’re very pretty too. I don’t believe I caught your name?"

"My name is Tu Tutu. You can call me Tutu."

"Tu Tutu? What a unique name."

’It’s certainly a name you remember after hearing it just once.’

"Right? That’s what I think too." Hearing Yun Zijin’s comment on her name, Tu Tutu’s eyes seemed to shine even brighter.

The most common comment she got was that her name was childish. Back in school, some people even gave her the nickname "Baby Tutu."

Hearing her say that, Yun Zijin suddenly found the girl rather endearing.

"Her parents named her Tutu because she loved watching a cartoon called ’Big Ear Tutu’ when she was little," Su Mengyao explained. "Since her family name is also a homophone for ’Tu,’ that’s how her unique name came to be."

When Su Mengyao first heard the story behind Tu Tutu’s name, she had thought her parents were a bit irresponsible.

"It sounds nice. It’s a name you remember the moment you hear it."

In any case, Yun Zijin found it quite interesting.

’To name her after her favorite cartoon means Tu Tutu’s parents paid a lot of attention to her. She must be a child who grew up surrounded by love.’

"Now that you mention it, I remember my teachers in school loved calling on me. If there was ever a roll call, my name was basically guaranteed to be on the list."

Tu Tutu had major grievances about her name being so easy to remember.

Because of that, she never dared to slack off in class. The upside, of course, was that her grades were pretty good.

In the circle of Dijing’s socialites, she was one of the few who had gotten into Dijing University on her own merit.

Yun Zijin shot her a sympathetic look. ’The poor child.’

"Zijin, I think I saw you talking for a while with that person from the Situ family who’s attending the banquet. Do you know people from the Situ family too?"

Seeing Yun Zijin so engrossed in her conversation with Tu Tutu, Cheng Yushu felt a stir of dissatisfaction. Not daring to show it, she kept a smile on her face and tried to find a new topic to pull Yun Zijin’s attention back to her.

Previously, they had indeed felt they could interact with Yun Zijin with a casual attitude, which was why Yun Zijin hadn’t seen any problem with their behavior.

But after truly seeing how Yun Zijin interacted with Lu Yunque and his friends at Yungong No. 1, the two of them started to feel a sense of imbalance.

Hearing about something from others was completely different from seeing it with one’s own eyes.

Their thought at the time was, ’If Yun Zijin can do it, why can’t we?’

Reality proved, after they tried, that no one else was like Yun Zijin.

Even though Su Mengyao was good friends with Yun Zijin, she was still intimidated when facing Lu Yunque and his group.

Even their younger brothers treated Yun Zijin like their own older sister.

Anyone seeing such a scene might feel a sense of unfairness.

Now, with the appearance of Situ Wenze, the wheels in Cheng Yushu and Zhu Yuehua’s minds started turning again.

"Oh, it was just a small private matter. It’s not convenient to discuss, sorry."

When facing Cheng Yushu and Zhu Yuehua, Yun Zijin’s demeanor had already shifted from friendly familiarity to polite detachment.
