Chapter 321: Weren’t There Four of Them?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

While there was a buzz of discussions outside, and inside the office, the atmosphere was as still as death.

Qiu Yonggen and the others didn’t dare to breathe loudly, waiting for the few seated individuals to speak, especially the young man sitting in the center.

The young man had sword-like eyebrows, giving him a firm yet subtly elegant appearance. His face didn’t seem too cold, but it carried an aura that demanded respect.

He was dressed in a crisp white shirt that accentuated his slender waist, radiating an extraordinary temperament.

Rong Feiyu’s cheeks flushed slightly, and her heart pounded. She thought, ‘If this kind of man were to take an interest in me, I’d probably soar to new heights immediately.’

Rong Feiyu pinched her finger, trying to appear composed and make a good impression on that young man.

After a while, the young man sitting in the center finally spoke, “Is class over?”

Qiu Yonggen quickly nodded and said, “Yes, Mister…”

He hesitated for a moment and thought, ‘What should 1 call him? It was incredible that someone from the Inspectorate suddenly came to our Academic and Research Society.’

That young man, on the other hand, smiled faintly, seemingly unfazed, and said, “Mr. Qiu, you can call me Jian Yunzhou.”

Even though Jian Yunzhou said that, Qiu Yonggen didn’t dare to address him that way.

Qiu Yonggen smiled and continued, “Mr. Jian, it’s our honor that you’ve come to our university today. These two are our students. Please let us know if there are any formalities they need to complete. They’ll cooperate fully.”

Jian Yunzhou furrowed his brows slightly and glanced at the two students sitting across from him. He asked in a soft voice, “Aren’t there supposed to be four students in total?”

Qiu Yonggen looked at Tang Lin and Tang Lin quickly replied, “I apologize for the delay, Mr. Jian. He Jinghan insisted on waiting until the class was over before coming. He’s a bit stubborn, but he excels in both academics and character. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed with him.”

Jian Yunzhou nodded and said, “I understand. People like him have their principles, and I admire that.”

Jian Yunzhou’s praise delighted Tang Lin. Praising Tang Lin’s student was essentially praising him, so he suddenly felt like he was glowing with a newfound radiance.

However, Jian Yunzhou’s next words left Tang Lin tongue-tied for a while.

Jian Yunzhou turned to the slightly nervous Rong Feiyu and asked, “Aren’t these two students supposed to be in class? Why are they here?”

Rong Feiyu hesitated for a moment, realizing that the man was looking at her. Her face turned even redder, and she felt an inexplicable sense of embarrassment.

That question made it sound like the two students present weren’t interested in their studies and had rushed over here solely to join the Academic and Research Society.

It was the first time Su Yifan faced such a significant task, and he was nervous too. He stammered, “I-I’m a senior now, and 1 don’t have many classes. So, I usually help out here.”

Su Yifan added, trying to explain, “Rong Feiyu is here because 1 invited her to assist me. Since she is here, so…”

Jian Yunzhou seemed to understand and nodded. He said, “I see. You’re helping your fellow students. How kind of you.”

While the comment sounded like praise, it only deepened their awkwardness. After all, the ambiguity in his words was quite significant.

Jian Yunzhou continued, “So, where’s the fourth student? Without all of them present, we can’t start the entrance examination for the Academic and Research Society.”

Qiu Yonggen exchanged a glance with Han Yi.

Han Yi gently shook his head. They hadn’t planned for Rong Qi to come, so they hadn’t informed her. Now that Jian Yunzhou was asking about it, they didn’t have an answer for him..
