Chapter 262: Chapter 156 "Top Ten Outstanding Youths of Jing City"_2
Jiang Qingkui could only shake her head and helplessly sat in the front row.
The representative figures among the young alumni were all seated together. Next to Jiang Qingkui was Zhong Huilan and Lv Bo. Seeing Jiang Qingkui taking her seat, Zhong Huilan smiled and greeted her, while Lv Bo, who had been softly reading his speech, also looked up and chuckled,
"Hey, Junior Sister Jiang, where’s Junior Zhou Wang... Oh, I forgot he didn’t have a seat here."
Jiang Qingkui originally didn’t want to engage with Lv Bo, but a glance at the speech in his hand made her lips twitch in mockery. After some thought, she lightly laughed and asked,
"Senior Brother Lv, you’ve put quite a lot of effort into this speech, writing it by hand and all."
Lv Bo was stunned. Although Jiang Qingkui’s tone was somewhat mysterious, she was actually smiling at him!
Lv Bo felt a bit flattered.
This was Jiang Qingkui, who had always been cold to everyone...
Feeling warm-hearted, Lv Bo unintentionally straightened his back a bit and cleared his throat with a smile,
"Junior Sister Jiang, although I studied medicine, back in Qing University, I was also the president of the literature club, so I have higher standards for writing... Hmm, this speech cost me quite a bit of effort, just polishing it took me an entire day after finishing it!"
Listening to Lv Bo’s bragging, Jiang Qingkui was about to search for a speech template on her phone. She merely intended to make another sarcastic remark, but just as she was about to speak, she froze.
Hmm?
Jiang Qingkui blinked and smiled at Lv Bo again, "Senior Brother Lv, may I have a glimpse of your literary style beforehand?"
"Of course, it’s nothing secretive, especially since I’ll be reading it soon."
Without much thought, and even feeling a bit excited, Lv Bo thought to himself... Turns out Junior Sister Jiang likes a scholar!
Damn, why hadn’t he thought to mention this before?
He handed the speech to Jiang Qingkui and felt a sense of comfort as she gently said "Thank you."
Jiang Qingkui’s attitude, so "different" from before, gave Lv Bo the wrong impression, and he glanced in the direction of Zhou Wang, as if he understood something.
"Junior Sister Jiang, are you finally seeing the true nature of your Junior Zhou Wang?"
"Hmm? What’s this true nature?"
Jiang Qingkui was busy "borrowing" from Lv Bo’s speech and responded nonchalantly,
"Well... the flashy nature of a second-generation rich kid!"
Lv Bo intended to be subtle, but he couldn’t find suitable words, so he spoke directly,
"These people might have some money in their families, but that doesn’t mean it’s their own wealth. Even across the whole country, Junior Sister Jiang, how many people can you find who can control over a hundred million at this age?"
"Hmm..."
"Ha, he sure can boast, claiming to have acquired Jiahui International. Forget that, even just for the donations for this foundation, I’d be impressed if he could donate over a hundred thousand!"
"Hmm hmm..."
Jiang Qingkui’s half-hearted responses invigorated Lv Bo.
"So, Junior Sister Jiang, you still need to be cautious and discerning, definitely don’t..."
He continued speaking at length, and Jiang Qingkui had no dramatic reaction, but the constant chatter started to grate on Zhong Huilan who sat between them.
Unable to contain her curiosity, Zhong Huilan tilted her head to glance at Jiang Qingkui, who was tap-tapping on her phone, and was taken aback.
What was Junior Sister Jiang up to?
Could it be that Lv Bo’s literary prowess was so impressive that Junior Sister Jiang resorted to using "text recognition" to save the speech?
As Zhong Huilan mused confusingly, Jiang Qingkui finally lifted her head and returned the speech to Lv Bo.
"Thanks... By the way, Senior Brother Lv, what were you saying?"
"I... nothing."
Lv Bo’s expression stiffened, but the thought that Jiang Qingkui was so engrossed in his article that she hadn’t been listening lightened his mood.
...
The lecture hall was packed, and finding a seat wasn’t easy. Fortunately, Lao Ji had saved him a seat in advance. As Zhou Wang walked over, he saw Lao Ji waving at him.
Aside from Lao Ji, Lao Guo and those classmates he had just met were also seated there.
Amusingly, as Zhou Wang sat down, Sun Xining, who was originally seated elsewhere, immediately swapped seats with the girl next to her to sit on the other side of Zhou Wang.
"Teacher Guo."
Zhou Wang, still being polite, greeted Lao Guo.
But Lao Guo’s attitude was noticeably colder than before. He merely nodded without much response.
Zhou Wang understood all too well. To Lao Guo, his delayed proposal had seemed like a rejection due to Zhou Wang’s abrupt phone departure.
Yet Zhou Wang obviously didn’t owe him an explanation. Seeing Lao Guo had no interest in a conversation, he was indifferent. Sitting down, he casually chatted with Lao Ji and exchanged playful banter with the sweetly fragrant Sun Xining beside him, quite at ease.
Seeing this lack of decorum almost made Lao Guo want to remind Zhou Wang to "mind the occasion." Sun Xining was practically in stitches, leaning over him...
But at that moment, Li Xiwen accompanied the official representatives into the lecture hall, and many began to applaud. As camera flashes started going off, Lao Guo hastily adjusted his posture to sit properly.
The podium held over a dozen seats, with spots reserved for the official representatives, principal Li Xiwen, and two venerable academicians.
Yet before taking her seat, Li Xiwen veered towards the lectern and exchanged whispered words with the educational director, Qin Li, who was standing there.
