Chapter 39: Qiao Ying recognized Qin Hanyue that night

Chapter 39

A man dressed in formal attire strode through the courtyard, his steps echoing the coolness of the evening. He entered through the gate.

As he met the gaze of Principal Zhang, he nodded slightly, positioning himself to the right and behind Qiao Ying.

As the man approached, Qiao Ying, who was sitting with her back to him on the sofa, felt the shadow of his tall figure press down on her.

"A rare visitor indeed. What brings you here today? Did you finally find the elusive mathematical genius I've been searching for?" Principal Zhang, always concerned about the genius who refused to show himself, asked. Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

"Just met a client nearby and decided to drop by to see you, old man," Qin Hanyue said. He instructed Qin Yan to hand the things he had brought to Principal Zhang's assistant and added, "If I remember correctly, it's your granddaughter's birthday next week, so I brought a small gift."

"Well, well, well, how thoughtful of you," Zhang Chengyong nodded approvingly.

"Do you have a guest, old man?" Qin Hanyue glanced at the motionless girl on the sofa.

Zhang Chengyong immediately shook his head and corrected him with a serious expression, "This is not a guest; she's the savior of this old man's life."

"A savior?" Qin Hanyue couldn't help but glance at her again.

Zhang Chengyong continued, "Please have a seat and let's talk."

Qin Hanyue took a few steps forward and sat down next to Zhang Chengyong.

He sat with a relaxed and casual posture, exuding an air of elegance and nobility. His long legs habitually crossed, displaying the presence of a long-standing figure of authority.

When Qin Hanyue raised his eyes and saw the girl's face across from him, he felt a slight astonishment.

It was her.

Wasn't she the young girl who saved his nephew?

Qin Yan also stared blankly, feeling that Qiao Ying looked familiar.

Qin Hanyue carefully compared her appearance to the day he saw her through the car window. She had lost weight since then, but he recognized her without a doubt.

However, wasn't this young girl in the distant Yun City just yesterday, and didn't she break a boy's leg?

How did she end up in the capital city today, sitting in his teacher's house?

Embarrassingly, he had just said yesterday that a young girl in small Yun City couldn't stir up any waves, and now she had come to the capital city.

Qiao Ying met the man's gaze without evasion. At the moment their eyes met, Qin Hanyue thought, "It seems she recognizes me."

He wondered how she would react upon seeing him.

To Qin Hanyue's surprise, the girl showed no reaction at all.

She looked at him with the gaze of a stranger, disinterested and indifferent, then picked up the water on the table and took a sip.

It was a normal reaction to seeing a stranger, but not completely normal. It lacked a bit of courtesy and restraint.

Qin Yan was a bit confused when he saw Qiao Ying's face. His thoughts and Qin Hanyue's were almost the same—wondering how Qiao Ying, who was supposed to be in Yun City, suddenly appeared in the capital and inexplicably became Principal Zhang's lifesaver.

Qin Yan suspected that he had made a mistake, and besides, Qiao Ying looked thinner than the last time he saw her. There are similar people in the world.

It wasn't until Qiao Ying said her own name that Qin Yan was certain it was the same person.

He looked at Qiao Ying, then at Qin Hanyue, who was talking to her, apparently wanting to say a few words.

"Nice name." Zhang Chengyong liked Qiao Ying more and more as he looked at her. He smiled and praised her to Qin Hanyue, "Don't judge this young lady by her age, she has medical skills and courage." Zhang Chengyong raised his thumb, "Impressive, her future is boundless."

"In today's society, people's hearts are unpredictable, but Miss Qiao dared to help someone who had nothing to do with her, and a patient at that. She truly has a kind heart," Qin Hanyue hinted, reminding her of the night she saved Qin Yuchen, testing her intentions.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Ying didn't follow the script but responded with, "Not many people have complimented me like this."

Zhang Chengyong had no idea about the situation and continued enthusiastically introducing Qin Hanyue to Qiao Ying, "This is the Chairman of Qin Group. Despite his young age, he is highly skilled in business. He is also my proudest student. When you get into Capital University, make sure to address him as 'Senior Brother.'"

Qin Hanyue asked, "Miss Qiao, are you studying? Are you preparing to take the entrance exam for Capital University?"

Whether Qiao Ying truly didn't recognize him or was pretending not to, Qin Hanyue had no intention of reminding her or exposing himself.

"Do you have any good suggestions, Mr. Qin?" Qiao Ying casually asked.

Qin Hanyue smiled faintly and shook his head, "Capital University is excellent. I wish you success in your exams, Miss Qiao."

Qiao Ying responded indifferently, "Thank you."

"Miss, have you ever considered the School of Medicine at Capital University? With your abilities and qualifications, you will undoubtedly achieve great success in the medical field and make a significant contribution," Zhang Chengyong, who wanted to contribute to the School of Medicine, didn't want to miss such a promising talent.

Qiao Ying didn't answer immediately.

At this moment, Qin Hanyue asked, "Do you have any preferred major, Miss Qiao? Mathematics or medicine?"

After giving it some thought, Qiao Ying replied, "Computer science is good."

Zhang Chengyong's face was filled with pain and disbelief, "Computer science?"

"There are plenty of job opportunities in computer science. If you are interested after graduation, you can come to my company. We are currently in need of technical personnel," Qin Hanyue said, purely showing gratitude to Qin Yuchen.

Work for Qin Group? Qiao Ying arched her eyebrows uncontrollably, thinking to herself, "What kind of threshold does Qin Group have?"

Any identity she casually revealed would be no worse than Qin Hanyue, the Chairman of Qin Group. Work for him?

"Not interested," Qiao Ying said directly.

"Ignorant," Qin Yan thought to himself, "She lacks emotional intelligence."

He had no idea how polite Qiao Ying's response was.

If Ye Si were here, he would burst into laughter and retort on behalf of Qiao Ying, "Let the renowned Blood Shadow work for you? Are you sleepwalking in broad daylight?"
