“I appreciate your faith in my ability but I’m lazy and not competent enough for this position!” Lu Jia’er said as she refused politely.
“Without trying how would you know that you are not suitable?” Mr. He said with a smile.
“Mr. He, I know my limitations. I might be a glib talker when it comes to giving lectures but I can’t bear the burden of responsibility for protecting people!” Lu Jia’er said.
“Jia’er, modesty is a virtue. But being too humble may be regarded as being proud!” He said with a smile.
Lu Jia’er was a little embarrassed. She was not putting on airs. She simply did not dare to work with the police!
“You have made a good point. I am proud and complacent. I can’t live up to your expectations!” Lu Jia’er took advantage of the situation.
“You stand high in my favor. You’re a rare talent. If you were willing to be the consultant of the Criminal Investigation Department in our bureau, I would be more than pleased!”
Lu Jia’er frowned. It was wise to keep the police at arm’s length. However, as the saying goes, fame portends trouble for men just as fattening does for pigs. She had politely declined the offer many times but Mr. He had still not given up.
So Lu Jia’er could only resort to the most naive method to resolve the impasse in the current conversation. “Mr. He, I’m in the elevator right now. I beg your pardon. Hello, hello, hello... ”
Saying “hello” a few times, Lu Jia’er hung up the phone.
Su Han, seated next to her, turned around for a look at her and sighed. “Celebrities are truly well received!”
“I should stop being nosy!” Lu Jia’er immediately criticized herself in reflection.
Su Han knew her friend well and said with a smile, “Professor Lu, you have been already very cool. If it were not for you being nosy, I highly doubt that you have cultivated into a fairy!”
Upon hearing this Lu Jia’er turned around and shot a glare at Su Han.
Su Han laughed and then suggested. “If you don’t want to offend Mr. He, you should immediately accept BUA’s invitation!”
Lu Jiaer turned around and looked at her with meaningful eyes. “Are you so interested in Jin Xiangdong?”
Knowing that she couldn’t hold back any thoughts from Lu Jia’er, Su Han said honestly, “Of course I am interested in him. If you go to BUA as an R&D engineer, I might benefit from association with you and meet him in person! But I swear I won’t seduce your boyfriend!”
Su Han’s last sentence invited Lu Jia’er’s contempt. “You are crazy!”
“Didn’t you say that he is peculiar? Then make a full study of him! He might turn out to be the most special man in your life!” Su Han joked.
“This may as well become a piece of material for your novel!” Lu Jia’er was clear about her friend’s intentions.
Su Han smiled. “Nobody knows me better than you!”
Lu Jia’er thought for a few seconds. “But I will consider the suggestion you have made!”
“Consider no more. Since Jin Xiangdong has already come to invite you in person, don’t be shy!” Su Han said.
Speaking of being shy, Lu Jia’er felt ashamed. Jin Xiangdong’s impression of her would not include being shy. When Lu Jia’er was thinking about this matter, the car was just making a turn, but the next second the brake was slammed.
The two in the car leaned forward due to inertia and then bounced back in the seats. Although Lu Jia’er responded quickly, the car still hit a car in front of them.
