Chapter 65: Lecture
Qing University was one of the top universities in China, and it was also a place that countless students dreamed of.
The car entered a thick, archway-like gatehouse. The university’s name was written on the gatehouse with strong and powerful characters. Passing through this gate and driving on the main road, what greeted them was a sense of youthful vigor.
On both sides of the road were thick and tall ginkgoes and sycamore trees. The lush green leaves cast a green shade on the main road. Students in groups of two or three, carrying books, riding bicycles, or whispering, were scattered across the campus.
It had been a long time since the Qing Dynasty. Under the layers of green plants, some ancient buildings stretched out from the lush green leaves with red-painted eaves, as if they were embracing the future of this era through time.
Elder Zhong’s lecture was held in the auditorium. After many turns, the car finally arrived at the entrance of the auditorium.
“Madam, I’ll pick you up here in two hours.”
The chauffeur stopped the car and welcomed Xia Wanyuan.
“Alright.”
After Xia Wanyuan got out of the car, the chauffeur drove away. Considering that no one in school would notice who she was and that she was being extremely disrespectful to Elder Zhong, Xia Wanyuan removed her mask and glasses.
Elder Zhong had an extremely high status, and those who could attend his lecture were no ordinary people. At this moment, all kinds of elites were gathered at the entrance of the hall. Other than Xia Wanyuan’s extremely eye-catching appearance, most of the people present did not recognize her.Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com
After all, others had defamed her on Weibo, but in reality, not many people knew about Xia Wanyuan.
It was already 2: 50 pm. The people at the door began to enter one after another. Xia Wanyuan followed behind the team and slowly approached the review entrance.
“Miss, please show me your invitation.”
The person in charge of the student union, who was dressed in formal attire, reached out to Xia Wanyuan somewhat awkwardly. As the president of the student union, he had helped the school organize so many activities, but he had never met such a good-looking guest. His young and naive face flushed red.
“Invitation? Elder Zhong called me about it, I don’t have an invitation.”
Elder Zhong had only called Xia Wanyuan but had not given her an invitation.
Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan declined.
Speaking of which, this was the second time she and Xuan Sheng had met. However, the overly passionate look in this man’s eyes made her instinctively feel uncomfortable.
Having been flattered for a long time, Xuan Sheng was used to being obedient and boasting wherever he went. Hearing Xia Wanyuan’s rejection, displeasure subconsciously flashed across Xuan Sheng’s eyes. Xia Wanyuan noticed this and took a step back.
Secretary Dong from the other companies standing behind Xuan Sheng saw that Xia Wanyuan did not give him any face. “Miss, CEO Xuan is giving you face. It’s difficult to get a ticket for Elder Zhong’s lecture. If you don’t follow us in, you won’t be able to enter.”
He had thought that these words would please Xuan Sheng. However, Xuan Sheng turned around and looked at her. The coldness in his eyes was no longer as warm as before.
Secretary Dong was the most observant. Seeing that he had said something wrong, he hurriedly shut his mouth. Xuan Sheng was about to say something when he saw a girl who looked like a student walk out.
“Hello, Senior Li.” The student council president nodded at the girl. Li Nian was a master’s student personally taught by Elder Zhong and was also a senior in the finance department.
“Miss Xia, the teacher asked me to come out and take a look. She said that you haven’t gone in yet.”
After replying to the president of the student union, Li Nian quickly walked to Xia Wanyuan. “The teacher has been asking if you’re here. Quick, go in. The teacher has reserved a seat in the front row for you.”
“I don’t have an invitation.”
Ignoring the shocked gazes of the crowd, Xia Wanyuan followed Li Nian into the hall.
“Aiyo, it’s my mistake. I thought the teacher called you and forgot to send you an invitation. It’s fine, you can come in with me.”
The student council president behind her was confused.?Where did this important person come from? It was actually Elder Zhong who had personally invited her.?The arrogant Secretary Dong looked enviously and resentfully at Xia Wanyuan’s back. After all this, she didn’t need anyone to bring her in.
Xuan Sheng also followed Xia Wanyuan and the others in. At this moment, there was less of a frivolous smile in his eyes. Clearly, he did not expect that Xia Wanyuan was still in contact with Elder Zhong.
Outside the hall, the finance reporters were flipping through their cameras. “There are so many people attending Elder Zhong’s lecture. They’re all big names in the industry.”
“It’s a pity that we can’t get tickets. If we can go in and listen to Master’s advice, maybe my stocks can be saved.”
“Hey, look, doesn’t this person look a little familiar?”
Suddenly, someone exclaimed. Everyone’s attention was attracted to a picture.
