The Real Heiress Has an Appraisal System

Chapter 52: Invitation to a Charity Gala

The head of PR came out and said to Lin Kai, "If the former President Lu were still here, he would have thought of a solution long ago. Not like this President Lu, who can only fly into an impotent rage."

Lin Kai replied, "You can say that, but I don’t dare. I’d get my pay docked."

"..." The PR director was speechless. On WeChat, Lin Kai was more vicious with his gossip than anyone, but in real life, he wouldn’t dare say a peep.

’So cowardly!’

Lin Kai gave her a look like she was an idiot.

’This President Lu is obviously jealous of the Young Madam. He’s practically going crazy with jealousy.’

’He’s always looked down on the Young Madam, and now one of them is making money while the other is losing face. Two members of the same family are ranked first and second on the trending list, and it’s difficult to even get them taken down.’

Lu Chaoyang had originally instructed the PR department to get the topics removed.

But the PR department was helpless. "Her traffic is all organic. Her fans aren’t even organized to boost the numbers. Casual viewers just keep clicking."

"Her appeal to the general public is too massive, so we can’t take it down."

They would pull it down, and a few minutes later, it would be back at number one.

Lu Chaoyang grew even angrier and ordered, "Meeting! Nobody goes home tonight until we have a solution!"

’The great Lu Group can’t even handle a small matter like this. It seems the Head of PR needs to be replaced.’

With that, he called HR to discuss the dismissal.

Afterward, Lin Kai reported the news to Lu Shijing: "Boss, the Head of PR has been fired. Everything is going according to plan."

Lu Shijing wasn’t going to reply at first, but after a moment’s thought, he added, "Take good care of Gu Shengsheng."

All in all, this incident on Weibo had amplified Lu Chaoyang’s anger, causing him to act irrationally. Otherwise, the internal power struggle at the Lu Group might have taken a while longer to escalate...

Lin Kai chuckled, seeing his boss’s reply. He was totally swooning over them again.

’It can’t be helped. The boss and the Young Madam haven’t even met yet, and there’s already so much sweet content to ship.’

’It’ll be insane when they finally meet, won’t it?’

"Boss, when are you coming back to the country? I can take you to see Miss Gu. The kind where you don’t reveal your identity, a secret romance."

Lu Shijing: ?

"I’ll play matchmaker for you. You two can have a nice chat, and you can even pretend to be her type. Then you can arrange a chance encounter, love at first sight..."

Lu Shijing: "You need a relationship more than I do."

"Haha, you flatter me, Boss. With my blood-pumping secret techniques from all the ’President Pursues Love’ novels I’ve read, I’m definitely more experienced than you."

He sent many more messages after that, but Lu Shijing didn’t reply to a single one.

As is typical for a "simp," his side of the chat window was all green... a one-sided conversation was normal for him.

’He’s mature now. He stopped caring about these things long ago.’

’I just need to hurry back and check on the Young Madam. Lend a hand where I can. Right now, Lu Chaoyang looks like he wants to eat her alive.’

’It’s a good thing we have to work overtime tonight.’

’Otherwise...’

Just as he had that thought, Lu Chaoyang came out of his office. "Today’s meeting is canceled. We’re going to a charity auction."

The Lu Group regularly participated in such events, but it was usually Madam Lu or Second Madam Lu who attended.

This was the first time Lu Chaoyang was preparing to go. Lin Kai wondered, ’He’s not going because of the Young Madam, is he?’

Then, Lu Chaoyang handed him a ticket. "This is my sister-in-law’s first time in Beijing. She doesn’t know many of the Lu Family’s business partners."

"Take this ticket to her and bring her to the charity gala."

"Okay."

Lin Kai quickly drove back and found Gu Shengsheng standing in line for milk tea, with a young girl queuing behind her.

By the time he made a U-turn and stopped the car in front of Gu Shengsheng, the young girl next to her had only taken a small sip, while Gu Shengsheng’s cup was already down to the last mouthful.

Lin Kai: "..." ’The Young Madam really has a bold personality.’

In truth, Gu Shengsheng was just zoning out. Ever since she opened the treasure box today, her collected Emotion Value had been rising continuously, and it was still going up even now.

[System]:

Emotion Value collected: 20,000. Target reached. Diamond Attribute Panel x1

Emotion Value collected: 40,000. Target reached. Book Attribute Panel x1

Current Emotion Value collected: 60,000. Target reached. Calligraphy and Painting Attribute Panel x1

Gu Shengsheng’s eyes widened. ’Oh my god, three at once! Just how big was the impact this time?!’

Because this Emotion Value wasn’t generated just from views; it only came from people who genuinely admired Gu Shengsheng from the bottom of their hearts and thought she did a great job.

That was why it wasn’t easy to collect.

But because of this one appraisal incident, she had obtained three appraisal-related attribute panels directly.

’This... doesn’t this mean there’s a mountain of wealth waiting for me down the line?!’

Then, while scrolling through her phone, she happened to see that an auction was starting today. She was just casually browsing when she spotted that blue diamond...

’Yes, she was interested. It was just a shame she couldn’t get in.’

Just as she was about to look at other things,

Lin Kai greeted her, "Young Madam, President Lu needs to see you. Please get in the car so we can talk."

Gu Shengsheng looked at him, recognizing him. He was the assistant who was always with Lu Chaoyang.

’Is my comeuppance arriving this quickly? I’m actually a little curious what Lu Chaoyang will do.’

So she got into the back seat.

She asked, "What’s the matter? Why the rush? Is Lu Chaoyang looking to settle the score with me over the courtyard house?"

"Uh... he probably can’t find a reason to come after you for the courtyard house. Young Madam, did you see that you were trending today?"

"The second trending topic is about the Lu Group."

Gu Shengsheng opened it and laughed without holding back. "So he had such a miserable day."

"So where are you taking me to be tortured now? I’m rather curious what my little brother-in-law will do."

Gu Shengsheng lounged in the back seat. "With his personality, he must want to grind me into the dust. To do that, he’d have to humiliate me in my area of expertise. Is he taking me to an appraisal event?"

"Whoa!" Lin Kai gave her an excited thumbs-up. "Young Madam, you’re incredible. You’ve completely figured out what President Lu is thinking."

"It’s just small potatoes." Gu Shengsheng yawned. "Perfect timing. I was wanting to go take a look anyway."

Her eyes lit up as she looked at the invitation Lin Kai handed her. It was for the very same auction with the blue diamond.

’Lu Chaoyang is really "delivering charcoal in a snowstorm," isn’t he?’ Gu Shengsheng remained impassive and continued, "So the idea is for me to go in as Lu Chaoyang’s date?"

"Yes. When the time comes, Miss Gu, I won’t be able to help you. You’ll have to play it by ear. If something feels wrong, find a way to leave immediately. Losing face is nothing; don’t get yourself dragged into trouble." Lin Kai suddenly became long-winded.

Gu Shengsheng was very perceptive. She crossed her arms and looked at him. "Hey."

"Are you helping me on purpose?"

Lin Kai thought for a moment. ’I’ll definitely have to help set the boss up with her in the future, so it’s not wrong for me to build some goodwill now. Then I can take on the glorious job of being their relationship’s security guard.’
