Jiang Dong thought he was attending a thank-you banquet, but it turned out to be a trap.
Although Shen Ci and ng Chuyue brought him to the best restaurant in Imperial and ordered the most expensive dishes, it wasn’t long after they started eating that Shen Ci said indifferently, "Jiang Dong, I want to hear you talk about everything you know concerning this matter. Don’t think about deceiving because it will be difficult for you to keep anything hidden."
At that mont, Jiang Dong nearly freaked out.
Only then did he understand that Shen Ci and ng Chuyue’s capabilities were not limited to academic prowess.
It’s no wonder both are students from top-tier universities, Shen Ci and ng Chuyue managed to draw attention even with their low-profile actions, while he remained unknown, uncertain about even securing a job he desired in the future.
His concerns were not undue.
What’s the use of having a good diploma?
Without any support or notable achievents, at best he could only achieve self-sufficiency in his livelihood.
In his heart, he couldn’t help but harbor infinite admiration for Shen Ci and ng Chuyue.
However, at this mont, he had to get through this difficult situation.
He thought for a while and said, "I need to make a phone call first."
Shen Ci nodded, "Go ahead."
Jiang Dong was going to call Lee Hao for advice.
After hearing the whole story, Lee Hao laughed heartily as he said, "What’s there to hesitate about? Just tell them, speak directly, bluntly, including those things about , and if they say they want to see , you call right away. No, I’ll head over to your place and wait in the lobby."
Jiang Dong, "..."
Alright, no wonder Mom always said his cousin was smarter than him, just a pity he didn’t like to study.
Jiang Dong returned to the private room and, following Lee Hao’s advice, recounted all of the details to Shen Ci and ng Chuyue.
He included what Lee Hao had told him, their desire to cling to a golden thigh for success, and the content of his recent phone call with Lee Hao.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Ci nervously, feeling as if he were being judged.
It wasn’t until Shen Ci quirked a smile that he said, "Considering one of you has a quick mind and the other is honest, you may cling to my golden thigh. However, we won’t et with Lee Hao today. You two co together to dicinal Food Hall to find at eight o’clock tomorrow evening."
After saying this, he left with ng Chuyue.
Jiang Dong stayed dumbfounded for quite a while before he called Lee Hao with a beaming smile.
Then, the two of them ate half of the food that Shen Ci and ng Chuyue had barely touched but had already paid for, and took the other half to go.
...
The next day, Lin Fangwei went to school and noticed everyone looking at her with strange expressions and whispering among themselves.
Only then did she realize that her act of kneeling to ng Chuyue yesterday had spread.
Yes, she had blocked out the part where she intended to splash "dog blood" on soone.
She believed that Shen Ci, even to protect his own reputation, would have asked those present yesterday to keep the matter confidential.
Not wanting to be the center of attention, she decided to hand over the thirty thousand yuan she promised to Professor Lee and then imdiately ask for a few days off to avoid the spotlight.
But when she requested leave, not only did her advisor not approve it, but she also went on and on, "Li Fangwei, what’s been going on with you recently? Acting so weird."
"Li Fangwei, the school leaders and fellow students already have their opinions about you, and now you still want to take five days off, sigh. No, I can’t approve it unless you’re sick."
Lin Fangwei, "..."
She really wanted to get a leave slip on the spot.
Unfortunately, in their dical departnt, there was an unwritten rule: Unless it was a terminal illness, common illnesses had to be diagnosed by the teachers to be granted a sick leave slip.
In other words, hospital notices didn’t count.
Lin Fangwei had no choice but to attend class with a gloomy expression.
Now that her identity was that of the Li Family’s young miss, her classmates didn’t dare to openly mock her, but the whispered gossip was still unbearable for her.
She felt like she was living a nightmare all day long.
...
At eight o’clock in the evening, Lee Hao and Jiang Dong arrived at the dicinal Food Hall to et with Shen Ci, all smiles.
Shen Ci had already instructed that the security and waitstaff would be very friendly to them.
