Chapter 881: Chapter 0881: Deputy Director Wang is Very Disappointed
Ye Qiu had already eaten breakfast. He came here for a cup of tea and was ready to head to East Sea with Zhou Wenting to get their visas done.
As they got in the car, Zhou Wenting said, "You promised to design a few outfits for me. Where are they? Haven’t seen anything yet."
"I forgot."
Ye Qiu drove away from Wang Yulian’s villa and headed toward East Sea City.
Upon arriving in East Sea City, Ye Qiu once again marveled at the towering skyscrapers and the prosperity here, which undeniably outclassed Jinling by a level.
He drove toward the building housing the French Consulate in East Sea. Once there, he parked the car, and they took the elevator upstairs.
Due to his previous visa application and the fact that Ye Qiu now owned property rights to a castle and estate, this application process was smoother.
When they reached the consulate’s visa service desk, Zhou Wenting handed over his passport and documents before joining the queue.
Ye Qiu waited nearby, gazing out the window at the panoramic view of East Sea’s bustling cityscape.
Still, Ye Qiu preferred living in Jinling. Perhaps one day, he might move to East Sea.
Zhou Wenting queued for around forty minutes before obtaining the visa. The visa was valid for approximately a month and a half, and if need be, they could extend it while in France.
After taking the elevator back down, they got into the car, and Ye Qiu started driving back toward Jinling.
By the time they returned to Jinling, it was already lunchtime.
"Are we eating out or heading to your mom’s place to eat?"
"Let’s eat out!"
Although the dishes prepared by her family’s housekeeper were good, Zhou Wenting still preferred going out to eat alone with Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu drove to a restaurant, parked the car, and they got out. Once inside, a waiter escorted them to a couple’s table.
Zhou Wenting ordered six dishes and two soups, then said, "The batch of stolen jewelry has been recovered."
Ye Qiu had already known about this.
But he didn’t reveal it to Zhou Wenting and instead asked, "Really? Was the loss significant?"
"We lost part of it. Some of the jewelry had damage, so it needs to be redesigned and reintroduced to the market."
Actually, Zhou Wenting had been quite shocked that, even under those circumstances, they managed to recover most of it and mitigate the losses.
"The jewelry from your company is way too old-fashioned. Nothing there ever catches my eye!"
During his investigation with Zhao Ruxue, Ye Qiu had already seen plenty of jewelry from the Zhou Dabao Jewelry Group. He found the designs outdated. While the gold jewelry had high purity with little embellishment, the designs were so outdated they couldn’t possibly attract many customers.
Nonetheless, the Zhou Dabao Jewelry Group was Jinling’s largest local jewelry company and held a decent market share there.
"Really? I wasn’t aware."
Zhou Wenting neither paid attention to company matters nor had any interest.
However, the diamond necklace Ye Qiu had bought for her in France truly was exquisite. After all, it wasn’t cheap.
"You should have your sister hire a top-notch jewelry designer. Otherwise, with the current standard, your designs won’t make it out of Jiangnan Province."
"I’ll talk to my sister about it when I get the chance," Zhou Wenting replied.
As the waiter brought over the dishes Zhou Wenting had ordered moments ago, the two chatted as they ate.
By the time they finished eating, it was already past 1 p.m. Zhou Wenting took out her phone to check the flight schedules from Jinling to Paris, looking for a direct flight later in the afternoon or evening.
"There’s a flight to Paris tonight at 7:30. Should we take it?"
"Of course!"
"Then I’ll book the tickets."
Zhou Wenting entered their IDs and booked two first-class tickets.
After Zhou Wenting had finished booking, Ye Qiu asked, "What should we do now?"
"Head back and pack!"
Ye Qiu dropped Zhou Wenting off at Wang Yulian’s villa. She needed to pack quite a lot for the trip—at least one suitcase wasn’t enough to fit everything. In addition, there were various other daily necessities she needed to bring along as well.
After Zhou Wenting got out of the car to start packing, Ye Qiu only planned to bring a backpack with a couple of casual outfits—nothing else was necessary.
...
Because of his performance last night at the freshman welcome party, where he showcased his vocal mimicry and played the piano piece "Eastern Fantasy," Ye Qiu had once again climbed onto Jin University’s popular forum rankings, rising instantly to second place.
Many students had hoped to meet Ye Qiu this morning, but to their disappointment, he hadn’t appeared anywhere on campus.
Only his counselor Song Ying knew that Ye Qiu was heading to France to visit his castle and estate. However, even she doubted the truth of it.
Still, she had no choice but to request a one-month leave of absence for Ye Qiu from both the college and the university.
Classes had only just begun, yet Ye Qiu was requesting a month-long leave. If Song Ying hadn’t personally explained, the leadership of the medical school wouldn’t have believed it.
Now that Ye Qiu was nowhere to be found again, and as Song Ying explained the situation to him before, things were indeed clear.
"Ms. Song, what’s that student in your class taking such a long leave for?"
The deputy dean of Jin University’s medical school, Deputy Dean Wang, curiously asked.
"Deputy Dean Wang, he said he’s going to France to visit some estate. I’m not sure if it’s true."
"That’s this year’s top scorer in the college entrance exam!"
"Yes, that’s him."
"The one who performed vocal mimicry and played piano last night?"
Deputy Dean Wang asked again.
"Yes, that’s him."
"Taking such a long leave... By the time he returns, it’ll be hard for him to catch up with the lectures from professors in your department. If he fails his exams and doesn’t earn enough credits, he could face expulsion."
"Deputy Dean Wang, I’ve already discussed this with him, but he didn’t seem to care."
"Sigh, this student has really let me down."
As a rigorous medical expert and university professor, Deputy Dean Wang naturally didn’t want his students to veer off course. Initially, recruiting a top scorer from the college entrance exams was a huge gain for the school, highlighting the student’s remarkable academic performance and capabilities.
But unexpectedly, the student had requested leave right as the semester started.
As for being multi-talented in other ways, the strict deputy dean saw little value in it. After all, the student was studying medicine—to eventually save lives, not to perform on stage.
"Ms. Song, talk to him again and confirm if he’s truly set on this."
"Okay, Deputy Dean Wang."
After leaving Deputy Dean Wang’s office, Song Ying had no choice but to call Ye Qiu again. When Ye Qiu answered, he asked, "Ms. Song, I’m very busy. Why are you calling me again?"
"I just spoke with the school and got your leave request approved, but Deputy Dean Wang mentioned that if you fail your exams or don’t earn enough credits, you risk being expelled."
