Chapter 837: Chapter 837: Forgotten

Zhao Gang’s movements were swift, and it took less than five minutes for him to arrive at the stepped classroom where Cheng Hui and Lin Shiyin were waiting. From a distance, when he saw Cheng Hui, Zhao Gang called out loudly.

"Brother Cheng, you guys got here so quickly! Is this Sister Lin? Sister Lin is so pretty! Much prettier than in the photos on the forum!"

"Junior brother is really good with words; I’m already old," Lin Shiyin said with a hint of pride on her face. After all, there was a time when she was the belle of Luo University.

"Sister Lin is being too modest. If Sister Lin is old, then the girls at our school would pale in comparison! I grew up on the stories about the two of you!

I wish a beauty like Sister Lin would chase after me too!

Brother Cheng, I’m so envious of you."

One had to say that Zhao Gang was quite articulate.

His words put both recipients in a good mood. Cheng Hui turned his head to glance in the direction of the stepped classroom entrance, looking doubtful, and asked, "Junior brother Zhao, didn’t you say Vice-Chancellor Wang would come to receive us?

Where is Vice-Chancellor Wang? Did something urgent come up?"

Zhao Gang deliberately put on an air of being upset yet not daring to show it and said, "What urgent task? Brother Cheng, you have no idea. Just now, there was this funny senior who confidently said he could get Professor Zhou and Chairman Zhou to come over!

Our Vice-Chancellor Wang actually believed it and is over there waiting for Professor Zhou and Chairman Zhou!"

"Chairman Zhou? Heh... Chairman Zhou definitely won’t come over. He is hosting representatives from the NGL corporation in H country today! How could he possibly have the time to come here?"

Lin Shiyin shook her head slightly, as her own father was also part of the hosting group, which was why she knew about Chairman Zhou’s schedule.

"Sister Lin is right. I’m not sure about Professor Zhou, but Chairman Zhou, whom I should also call ’uncle’, really is too busy to come over!"

"It seems to me that in Vice-Chancellor Wang’s eyes, I, Cheng, am simply not important enough to bother with, to not come and receive us in favor of waiting for two people who will not come? Very well..."

Cheng Hui let out a cold snort, his face turning frosty.

"Ah..." Zhao Gang felt quite exhilarated, but his face showed a helpless expression as he let out a deep sigh.

Seeing that he had achieved his purpose and in an effort to ease the mood, Zhao Gang casually chatted with Cheng Hui and Lin Shiyin. Regarding people he admired, Zhao Gang’s conversational skills were quite proficient, and with a few well-placed compliments, he managed to lighten the atmosphere considerably.

The three of them chatted pleasantly, while the staff hurried to prepare the venue.

About an hour had passed, and during that time, several VIP guests had arrived. Of course, none of these guests’ statuses could compare with Cheng Hui and Lin Shiyin.

Even so, Zhao Gang enthusiastically received these few dignitaries and seated them in the first row.

Seeing that none of the guests invited by Qin Yu had shown up—be it Professor Zhou, Chairman Zhou, Su Ziyan, Feng Yuqiong, or Emilia—not one appeared.

A smirk appeared on Zhao Gang’s face. Mr. Qin, you’re in for it now!

Just after he finished arranging for the VIPs, the host, Sun Shan, came over with a smile and said, "Senior Zhao, we’ve pretty much finished our preparations. Shall we invite the university leaders over? We have a segment for the leaders’ speeches in the rehearsal agenda."

"Sure, I’ll call Vice-Chancellor Wang right away."

...

The atmosphere in the planning room was vibrant, and this was the first time Wang Zhong had been so approachable—almost answering any question asked. The student union officers finally seized the opportunity to make their presence known in front of Wang Zhong.

On the other hand, the two main characters, Qin Yu and Chu Xiaoxiao, were largely forgotten by everyone.
