The towering Shenghan Building.
Guo Ting gazed up at it from such a close distance, feeling a shiver through her entire body as she involuntarily stepped back. This was the first time she had been so close to the Shenghan Group, and the oppressive feeling of its majestic authority made her heart swell with longing and frustration. Why wasn't she the one working here? What was so special about Gu Xiaoer?
Suppressing the lingering anger in her heart, Guo Ting glanced at the document bag in her hands, her sweaty palms unable to help but tighten around it.
She freed one hand to smooth down her clothes and hair, trying to steady her nerves.
She had specially changed into a branded dress for this afternoon, the hem ending above her knees, showcasing her slender legs that she was so proud of. The light blue color made her skin look exceptionally fair and suited her perfectly.
She wore high heels with fine straps, carried a small handbag of the same color, and her freshly washed hair, scented with shampoo, lay soft upon her shoulders.
When she walked out of the university, this outfit had already attracted the covetous gazes of countless male students, helping her regain her self-confidence after a blow to her self-esteem.
Principal, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely make the most of it.
Today, not only did she come to spread Gu Xiaoer's "good deeds," but more importantly, she wanted to present herself in front of the employees of the Shenghan Group.
If she could attract the attention of a high-level executive or someone similar, was her rise to greatness still far away?
She lifted her leg and entered, believing she was taking the most elegant steps...
The office of Principal Wang at Nanyi University.
Principal Wang was frowning over some documents when the phone rang out of the blue.
He answered and heard an icy and stiff voice, "Principal Wang, what do you think the Shenghan Group is, a place where just anyone can walk in?"
"This... Sir, may I ask who is speaking?" Speaking of the Shenghan Group, Principal Wang immediately adopted a more obsequious tone. Yet the unkind demeanor of the other party left him puzzled, so he inquired further.
"Hmph," came a cold snort from Wei Feng on the other end of the line, "Principal Wang, I am Wei Feng, the assistant to the president. The president asked me to relay a message to you, should there be another mess of people delivering documents, then don't bother sending them anymore."
What he implied was that there needn't be any more talks about cooperation either.
"No, no, no... Mr. Wei, what happened?" panicked Principal Wang. He had merely sent Guo Ting to deliver a document today; he even notified the president beforehand.
Could it be that Guo Ting caused some trouble?
"To educate students, that's the university's responsibility, Shenghan isn't in charge of that. You'd do best to ask around yourself, Principal Wang!" Wei Feng said and hung up.
Amid the "beep, beep, beep" of the dial tone, Principal Wang looked completely disheveled and anxious.
He slammed his desk with force, grabbed the car keys hanging nearby, and rushed downstairs.
He told Guo Ting to leave the documents at the service desk; did she do something unnecessary? If she couldn't even deliver documents properly, what else could she manage to do?
No point in asking now; he should hurry over to Shenghan personally and apologize...
The girls' dormitory at Nanyi University.
Gu Xiaoer and Ai Le were nestled in bed watching a movie, each clutching a bag of snacks and thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Fun times always pass quickly; as the movie ended, Gu Xiaoer heard the dorm supervisor's loud voice outside, "312 Gu Xiaoer!"
Gu Xiaoer's heart skipped a beat. Why was the supervisor calling for her again?
Before she could even voice her complaint, she heard the dorm supervisor continue, her voice straining, "312 Gu Xiaoer! The principal has come upstairs to see you!"
What, the principal?!
