Chapter 85: A Little Research

Su Ruan did not manage to ask him more about the story of the lake dragon as Auntie Wang had already come out with a tray of dishes for them. She went over to offer her help but was declined.

Auntie Wang moved her hands and Su Ruan glanced at Long Fei, asking for the translation.

"She said, you're a guest and should not trouble yourself with it," Long Fei said.

Su Ruan sat down and looked at Long Fei again. "You are very capable. I did not expect that you would know sign language. It is said that you are fluent in a few languages, but the last time I did a little research on you, sign language was not among the language you are fluent with."

Long Fei raised his brow and there was a faint smile on his face. "You did a little research on me?"

It was then that Su Ruan realized that she had exposed things that she should not expose. She lowered her head, not knowing how to make things less awkward. Long Fei probably think that she was interested in him.

Su Ruan let out a cough. "Don't be misunderstood. Before I came to this town, I was working with a magazine. My editor wanted me to interview you and that's why I had to do a little research on you."

"I have only been interviewed by a few magazines but I don't remember meeting you."

Although Long Fei had already known this story, he pretended as if he knew nothing about it.

"My memory isn't that bad, I'm very sure that I would remember you if I had met you during an interview," Long Fei continued.

Su Ruan flashed an awkward smile. "That's probably because we have never met before."

"Oh?"

"Although the editor assigned me to interview you, in the end, the task fall to someone else," Su Ruan explained. "I heard that in the end, the interview did not happen."

"What was the magazine's name?" Long Fei continued to pretend.

"It's not a very popular magazine. So, I did not know if you would remember it. The magazine is called Upcoming."

"Upcoming," the word rolled on his tongue. "I seem to remember this name." He pretended to ponder about this name and spoke again, "That's right, it was my assistant who had arranged for this interview with this magazine."

Su Ruan smiled. She did not expect that Long Fei would remember a small magazine like Upcoming.

"The magazine had given us the name of the interviewer and my assistant had checked on her background. However, when we arrived, I was told that someone else would be interviewing me instead," Long Fei chose to mix in a little bit of truth and lie.

"We don't like this last-minute change and canceled the interview. I didn't know that you were working with this magazine. Then, the person who was supposed to interview me was you?"

Su Ruan nodded. "I guess that was me."

The smile on his lips stretched up. "It is a very small world."

Su Ruan laughed when she heard his words. "Actually, I was always curious why you would agree to be interviewed by this magazine. You should know that Upcoming is a magazine that was targeted for women."

Long Fei cleared his throat as he tried to come up with a lie. "This is my assistant's arrangement. He said that I would definitely attract a few more fans if I showed up in this magazine and helped the company's reputation up."

Su Ruan thought of the assistant that she had met on the mountain not too long ago. "Your assistant surely had a strange thinking."

At this time, Auntie Wang came out to deliver a few more dishes. Seeing that the two of them had not moved their chopstick, she quickly urged them to eat before the food would get cold.

Su Ruan picked up the chopstick and tried the eggplant dishes. Her eyes widened in surprise as the delicious taste spread in her mouth.

"Then, Miss Su, are you still working for the magazine?" Long Fei asked after taking a few bites of the food.

"No. I already quit from the company."

"Why?" Realizing that he might sound like a busybody, Long Fei quickly added, "If you don mind me asking."

Su Ruan lowered her head to hide her expression. When she thought about her previous company, Su Ruan could not help but feel a little disappointed. "The atmosphere did not suit me."

Seeing that she did not care to elaborate, Long Fei did not ask her further. Anyway, it was not as if he did not know what had happened to her.

"Then, are you working for any magazine at this time?"

Su Ruan swallowed the food in her mouth and answered, "No. I just thought that I wanted to spend some time with my maternal family. After all, I haven't visited them for a long time."

"If you are interested, I can recommend you to send a resume to my company," Long Fei said. "We were always in need of a capable journalist. You should know about Blue Media Company, right?"

"I know."

"That's right. You have done some research on me. You should know about this."

Su Ruan smiled. "Actually, a few months ago, I have applied for a job at your company and was called to attend the interview. On the same day, I received news that my paternal grandfather fell and had to be hospitalized. I went back to see him and missed the appointment."

"That's too bad. But Miss Su, if you are still interested in working for my company, you could still send your resume over."

"It's fine." Su Ruan waved her hand. "Since I am here, I planned to stay in this town for a while longer and accompanied the elders. I just realized that my grandparents had gotten older. I wanted to spend more time with them."

Long Fei was suddenly reminded of the e-mail that he had seen on Su Ruan's laptop while he was visiting her room previously. He had thought that Su Ruan was looking for a job and wanted to help her. Rather than letting her work somewhere else, it would be better to let her stay close to him.

He lowered his gaze, pondering that perhaps, Su Ruan was only interested to do some freelance.

As the thought came to his mind, Long Fei made a note to talk to his assistant when he return.
