Chapter 485: Lu Kuo Is Treated Coldly

lly, rightShe was so lost in thought that when the subway reached the next station and slowed down, her inertia caused her to lean left. She grabbed the handrail with all her might, but unfortunately,...Gu Ruanruan has always been calm and clear-headed. She knows what she wants, what she doesn't want, and works hard for it. 。>Summer vacation had passed a month and a half, she was almost homebound working on school textbooks. Besides the two chapters she herself wrote, she was also in charge of compiling them, revising the whole book, and making teaching materials and lesson plans. Time was tight, so she was busy with no time even for meals, let alone thinking about anything else. 。Since that Friday night when she returned to school alone after leaving Lu Kuo's place, she hadn't seen or contacted him again. That night had truly wounded her pride, and the experience of walking back to school alone from his place was a deeply felt one. She realized that Lu Kuo probably didn't look highly upon her. 。

Seeing Lu Ku again was on Monday. She went to Lu Yaoyao's film set to visit, and from afar, she saw Lu Ku also came to visit. She parked her car and walked towards the set. He was still wearing casual clothes, looking carefree, lazy, and handsome. 。But it was just a quick glance, because her phone happened to ring from the head of the research department. It was a bit noisy on set, so she hurriedly covered her phone and went to a quieter place to answer it. 。The head of the research room's voice was rather stern: "Teacher Gu, there's a problem with the image in Chapter 2, Section 2-5 of this textbook. How did you miss it Take it down immediately and replace it with a new one." 。Gu Ruanruan was a bit confused. There were hundreds of pictures in the entire textbook, and for a moment she couldn't remember which ones were pictures 2-5. After all, she hadn't written the second chapter; she was only responsible for the final proofreading and editing, and then the teachers from the textbook committee had to review it before it could be used in teaching. 。The head of the research department's voice grew harsher: "Teacher Gu, even though you're back from abroad, you still need to have a basic understanding of political sensitivity. Now the country has very strict ideological management of textbooks. You should take a look at the images in Chapter 2, page 5 and see if they are suitable to be included in the textbook"

After that, without waiting for Gu Ruanruan's response, he hung up the phone. 。The head of the teaching and research department is also very diligent. Throughout the summer vacation, as long as there were any questions about this school's textbook, she would answer them online whenever asked. 。Gu Ruanruan didn't dare to delay any longer. Without saying hello to Lu Yaoya, she hurried back to her office to check the pictures. 。She had just started working for less than a semester and had no experience going to college domestically, so she didn't quite understand the meaning of curriculum awareness and ideological management. 。

The images from 2-5 looked like a normal design, she checked online and it didn't involve copyright or any other warnings, so she had to call the head of the teaching and research department again, sincerely asking for advice. 。The head of the teaching and research department listened to her sincere attitude, so he said: “The creativity of this picture is almost exactly the same as Tai Duo's. If you put it in the textbook, wouldn't that be stirring up a hornet's nest Fortunately, I took a look at it first. If the manuscript had been directly submitted to the textbook committee or printed directly, there would be no way to end this.” 。"Upon hearing the reminder from Director Gu of the teaching and research office, I suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation. A cold sweat broke out on my back. This could be a small matter or a big one, depending on how the school handled it. Fortunately, Director Gu was diligent in his work and double-checked before submitting anything." 。"Teacher Gu, you just got back to the country, there are a lot of things you need to figure out on your own. This time, just consider it a lesson, quickly find a suitable picture to replace it." 。"Okay, thank you, Director." 。Actually, the second chapter wasn't written by Gu Ruanruan. It was written by a senior professor who doesn't usually go online and probably isn't aware of this situation. 。And the head of the research department dared not criticize the professor, so he could only vent his anger on her. 。She hung up the phone and first contacted the professor, tactfully mentioning that the image needed to be replaced. The professor was very understanding and, upon hearing the reason, immediately agreed and said he would find a replacement image right away. 。Then Gu Ruirui tirelessly went through all over a hundred pictures in the book, one by one, to ensure there were no issues. She was busy for another day. 。。He raised an eyebrow and asked Lu Yaoyao, "What's she been up to lately"

Lu Yaoyao: "How would I know If you're curious, just ask her yourself." 。Lu Kuò didn't say anything more, just sat on a chair beside him, a little bored scrolling through his phone. He saw in his Moments that Ting Lán was showing pictures of two children eating. They were picked up from Beijing last weekend, and Zhuo Yǔān had liked the post. 。Their tiny gestures, but they're always spoiling the dog. 。By noon, Lu Yaoyao finished filming a scene. Lu Kuo invited her to eat lunch. Outside the Sen Da school, there's a food street with many good restaurants. 。Lu Yaoyao snorted disdainfully, took out her phone to call Ruan Ruan, inviting her to have lunch together. 。Ruanruan doesn't have time, "I really can't today, our director just scolded me. The manuscript needs to be revised again, let's go another day." 。Lu Yaoyao didn't say anything else, hung up the phone, and shrugged at Lu Kuo. She did her best. 。The siblings sat in a private room, eating. One of them held up their phone, each person ate their own food, and they barely communicated with each other. 。Lu Yaoyao was browsing entertainment news, wanting to see if Yuan Binghuan had made any moves. Based on her understanding of him, he would definitely continue to cultivate a deep and affectionate image, waiting for the right moment to be exposed as having broken up, earning himself a wave of sympathy. 。Lu Yaoyao wouldn't stoop to such tactics. In the entertainment industry, she didn't need any personas because her true identity was already something others envied and couldn't reach. While eating, she deleted all content related to Yuan Binghuan from her social media accounts. 。Lu Kuo was scrolling through his phone when he came across the chat interface with Gu Ruanruan. It was from the Friday before summer vacation, when he came to pick her up.

He sent: I'm here 。She replied: I'll be out soon. 。Lu Kuo remembered that night. He was happy because it was the first time she got paid and invited him to dinner. 。To show her sincerity, she took him to a rather upscale restaurant near his place. That meal cost her about one-third of her salary. 。After dinner, the two walked back to his place. Actually, the atmosphere was quite good at the time. It's just a natural progression for adults who are attracted to each other. 。He backed out only when he was in bed, because he realized Gu Ruanruan was a virgin. Although she didn't say it, he could tell from her inexperienced reactions that this was her first time. And she was very serious and committed, definitely not just playing around. In that instant, the pressure overwhelmed him, and he got up and left without doing anything. 。After he came out of the bathroom, Gu Ruanruan was gone and had never contacted him again. 。He didn't know how to explain his behavior that night to Gu Ruirui. He hadn't thought it through and didn't want to easily start a new relationship. If both of them were just playing around, things would be much easier, but if one party was too serious, he would indeed feel pressured. 。Lu Yaoyao had no idea about what was going on between him and Ruan Ruan, as Ruan Ruan hadn't told her. So after dinner, without a word, the siblings went their separate ways, each busy with their own affairs. 。Author's note: I actually never gave Lu Kuo a deep, emotional character design. Maybe because his family was too well off, he always had this attitude of playing with the world. 。He hasn't accepted Ruan Ruan's advances either, because once she becomes too serious, he feels burdened. 。I think his image is quite realistic. 。So "evildoers are punished by evildoers," he needs someone of a higher rank to subdue him. 。It's okay if you don't like him, you can just skip over him and look at something else. 。He's a super perfect friend and brother. Actually, I really like him. 。When lovers See if Ruirui can change him later. 。nstant noodles, thinking we could buy other things at the camp, who knew there was nothing." 。Tinglan had to admire Zhuo Yu'an's foresight. 。Zuo Yu'an also nodded: "Welcome" 。。Hearing that the other...
