Zhou Wang is coming too?
Wang Qiaobin was stunned for only a second, and then suddenly woke up.
Damn, yes, I am stupid!
When outstanding graduates return to school, how can they avoid looking around...
Once upon a time, Wang Qiaobin felt sorry for Zhou Wang.
This junior student is sensible, good at conduct, and understands propriety. Unfortunately, something happened to his family, and he was punished, so he disappeared from his social circle.
When Wang Qiaobin graduated, he invited acquaintances to a dinner party, but Zhou Wang didn't come either.
The next time we met was at his club two months ago.
At that time, Wang Qiaobin just lamented Zhou Wang's earth-shaking changes. Only a month later, he discovered... He sighed too early.
He could no longer understand Zhou Wang.
He quietly became a shareholder of Wuyou Media and became a figure on the same level as Mr. Zhang's second uncle. In fact, even Wang Qiaobin had to force his way into Mr. Zhang's circle.
In that circle, he is like a "tool man" on the fringes. We can occasionally have fun together. If we really need to have any entertainment, we can ask him. As for how good friends we become... it's impossible.
Wang Qiaobin didn't think there was anything wrong with this. He just sighed occasionally. Now he couldn't call Zhou Wang as casually as before.
... Even after Zhou Wang changed the amazing "189 nines" number, he specifically said it to him.
Perhaps it was based on the above subconscious mind that Wang Qiaobin did not associate today's activities with Zhou Wang at all.
It's not that Zhou Wang is not qualified, it's... this activity seems a bit inadequate.
As a serious billionaire, young entrepreneur, and a typical representative of grassroots counterattacks, if Zhou Wang wanted to attend, it would have to be a high-profile publicity, or at least a school celebration-level event.
Moreover, Wang Qiaobin was not even sure whether Zhou Wang was in Dian Province.
It wasn't until this beautiful teacher named Ni spoke that Wang Qiaobin realized that he seemed to have fallen into some kind of misunderstanding.
It's just that he couldn't figure out what the problem was for a while.
"Is Zhou Wang really coming?"
Wang Qiaobin's eyes lit up, and then he spoke cautiously: "Teacher Ni, the favor you want to ask me for is..."
"Classmate Wang, let's go over there and talk."
Ni Hong looked around, probably worried about the crowd, and took Wang Qiaobin to a corner of the garden. After the surroundings became relatively quiet, she spoke carefully:
"It's like this. In fact, there is a dinner after today's exchange event. The school leader gave me the task of inviting Zhou Wang to attend no matter what. But so far, Zhou Wang has not given me an accurate answer. , I can feel that his enthusiasm for participating is not very high, so..."
They are all adults. Although Teacher Ni's words are relatively reserved, Wang Qiaobin, who is also very familiar with the world, naturally understood it instantly.
"Teacher Ni, do you want me to help you make peace so that Zhou Wang can attend the dinner as much as possible?"
"Yes, that's what I mean, because Secretary Chen will also be attending, so..."
Ni Hong nodded, with a wry smile on her lips, showing that she was under considerable psychological pressure.
Secretary Chen?
Wang Qiaobin was stunned for a moment, and then was shocked.
Cai Da has only one Secretary Chen, and that is Cai Da's real leader, Secretary XX Chen Gengyun. Currently, Cai University's principal is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but in fact all matters involving management are handled by this Secretary Chen. Responsible.
The top leader of a key university can no longer be simply defined by the label "principal", because he never knows when he will go to another position and sit at the speaking table on TV.
At least four years of college, except for the opening ceremony and graduation ceremony, Wang Qiaobin never saw each other again.
And now, according to Teacher Ni's wishes, Chen Gengyun not only has to attend the dinner, but also... most likely because of Zhou Wang.
Brother Gou's noodles are so full!
"I understand, Teacher Ni. I can only say that I will try my best. As for whether I can control Zhou Wang's thoughts, I can't guarantee that."
"Hmm, classmate Zhou Wang may not like some formal things. Originally, we prepared banners and the like in advance, but he refused. So I was a little unsure of classmate Zhou Wang's preferences, so I went with Wang Classmate said this... Of course, no matter what the outcome is, I will accept Classmate Wang's sentiments."
Ni Hong smiled first, her ice and snow temperament melting away a little, and then she said apologetically: "You may have made Mr. Wang a little embarrassed just now. I want to apologize to you. It was because I didn't think well and the process of the activity was not designed well. Mainly because I was in a hurry, so I didn't elaborate on some details, I'm sorry!"
Wang Qiaobin was startled, and then realized that Ni Hong was talking about the part where he introduced himself just now.
"It's okay, it's just a little bit of wind and frost..."
Wang Qiaobin waved his hand first, and then he thought of something and asked tentatively: "Teacher Ni, I would like to ask, if I will receive an invitation letter for this exchange event, is it you..."
Ni Hong knew what Wang Qiaobin wanted to ask. She didn't shy away from it after thinking about it, and said calmly: "I specially sent the invitation letter to Mr. Wang. First of all, because of the rush of time, the number of outstanding local alumni who could be contacted was limited. February 1st Yes, it is indeed because of the relationship between Classmate Wang and Classmate Zhou..."
"The school hopes that this event can be as successful as possible. I think the contribution made by Mr. Wang today will be appreciated by my alma mater."
After Ni Hong finished speaking, he left first and continued to promote the process of the event, leaving Wang Qiaobin alone in a daze.
He subconsciously took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, but did not light it. At a certain moment, Wang Qiaobin suddenly took the cigarette down again, with a look of surprise and a little excitement on his face.
Damn it, I know it!
Wang Qiaobin finally figured out what was wrong with him before.
Extrapolating from Ni Hong's words, Wang Qiaobin discovered a slightly absurd fact that is very likely to be the truth——
Today's so-called "Excellent Graduates Return to School Promotion Event" is most likely held specifically for Zhou Wang...
In other words, maybe there was no such activity at all in the first place. Everything started from scratch and was an extension of the core event of "Zhou Wang's Return to School."
What is this?
After thinking about it, Wang Qiaobin's mood suddenly became extremely complicated, and the expression on his face was also dumbfounding.
So they...are all "making up the numbers"?
Wang Qiaobin put the cigarette in his mouth again. At this time, with the sound of footsteps, another person hurriedly walked into the garden. As he walked, he casually said: "Wang Qiaobin, can you borrow a fire?"
Wang Qiaobin's eyes looked a little strange when he saw the person coming.
Lu Chen didn't care at all, or in other words, he felt that Wang Qiaobin had a reason to dislike him.
In fact, Lu Chen came to Wang Qiaobin on purpose, just to see him in embarrassment again...
So facing Wang Qiaobin's weird look, Lu Chen just smiled and said, "No, I just made a joke with you in public, so you can't be so stingy, right? Everyone has graduated, let the past pass, right, Brother B?" !"
This wasn't the first time they were targeting each other. Since no one knew the other yet, Wang Qiaobin could naturally hear Lu Chen's "hypocrisy".
Ten minutes ago, Wang Qiaobin might still have taken the initiative and even quit this bullshit communication activity, but now...
Wang Qiaobin's mentality is completely different.
"Oh, a lighter, right? Take it."
Wang Qiaobin laughed, took out a lighter from his pocket, put it directly into Lu Chen's hand, and patted his shoulder, "Lu Chen, this lighter is for you. It has the phone number of our store. You can make an appointment anytime you want." !"
With that said, Wang Qiaobin hummed a song and left first, leaving Lu Chen confused.
When did this old boy become so generous?
Can you just laugh it off with yourself?
And he didn't know if it was Lu Chen's illusion, but he always felt that the way Wang Qiaobin looked at him just now was like looking at Ruizhi...
No, why should he?
"baffling!"
Lu Chen smiled disdainfully, thinking that Wang Qiaobin was deliberately pretending not to care. He didn't care either, and lit the cigarette to himself. Then he took out the speech he had paid a lot of money to find someone to write, and began to read silently again.
…
The time came to 2:20 in the afternoon, and the Mercedes-Benz G63 driven by Miao Ying slowly drove into the old campus of Caida University.
The teacher from the Youth League Committee who was responsible for planning the event process had consulted Zhou Wang through Jiang Qingkui. Naturally, Zhou Wang said without even thinking about it that he would prefer to set the location at the old campus.
There is no other, close to the ear.
The originally planned time was to arrive at Caida at two o'clock.
But after finishing the phone call with Wang Qiaobin, we encountered a traffic jam on the road.
Zhou Wang originally just wanted to change his position and lie down for a while, but because the fragrance from Jiang Qingkui's body smelled so good, he actually fell asleep in a daze.
When I opened my eyes again, I was already on the campus of Cai Da University.
Jiang Qingkui pulled the small wrinkles on the flesh, smoothed the hem of her skirt, and then slowly picked up the vibrating cell phone.
"Mr. Zhou, that Teacher Ni called again."
After taking a look at the caller ID, Jiang Qingkui said to Zhou Wang.
"We are late, right...let's say sorry to her."
Zhou Wang rolled down the car window, taking advantage of the incoming wind, his mind gradually sobered up, and he responded.
"I have already told her, but what Teacher Ni is worried about is not your lateness..."
"Is she afraid that I won't come?"
Zhou Wang was startled and realized something, and couldn't help but smile.
Jiang Qingkui smiled and then picked up the phone, "Hello, Teacher Ni... um, we've come in... Okay, we should be able to find you, you don't need to come out."
After hanging up the phone, under Zhou Wang's guidance, the car drove all the way to the large lecture hall in the old campus. On the roadside here, the teacher Ni on the phone was looking around with her mobile phone. Next to her, there was Zhou Wang. A very familiar figure.
"This Teacher Ni is quite beautiful..."
After Jiang Qingkui saw Ni Hong's appearance, she was a little surprised, and then turned to look at Zhou Wang.
She is beautiful, why do you look at me?
Zhou Wang was very unhappy, but it was hard to get angry, but there was one thing to say, this Teacher Ni... was really good-looking.
A white shirt paired with high-waisted suit trousers and small high heels makes her appear to have a slender waist and long legs. She has long, slightly curly hair, an oval face, and a temperament that Zhou Wangyuan calls "little Jiang Mo."
Yes, those cold eyebrows and serious temperament gave Zhou Wang a vaguely familiar feeling.
However, in the coldness, the other party was more capable than Jiang Mo.
Zhou Wang didn't have much impression of Teacher Ni when he was in school, but he vaguely heard some boys mention it, saying that "the Youth League Committee has an iceberg beauty."
As for next to her, it was naturally Zhou Wang's old acquaintance Brother B.
The car pulled over and Teacher Ni, with a smile on his face, was about to come over and help open the door when Zhou Wang got out of the car first.
Although Zhou Wang was a "guest" today, asking his former teacher to open the car door for him was obviously a bit too much.
"Hello, Teacher Ni, I'm Zhou Wang."
Zhou Wang smiled and took the initiative to extend his hand to Ni Hong.
Ni Hong was stunned for a moment. Although he had seen Zhou Wang's photos and searched for his performance on Wuyou Night out of curiosity, when he saw the real person, Ni Hong could only say one thing... Zhou Wang's video Younger and more generous.
Ni Hong's delicate palms, which were slightly cold and sweat-free, held Zhou Wang's hand firmly. Ni Hong said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Ni Hong from the Youth League Committee of the school. Welcome back to my alma mater."
"Sorry, I'm late because of the traffic jam. The activities are all planned. I don't know if I've caused any trouble to you..."
Zhou Wang apologized sincerely.
"No, no, there is plenty of time for today's lecture... Then, Mr. Zhou, why don't you come with me first? Principal Bai, Dean Qin, and Professor Wang are already waiting in the small conference room. "
Ni Hong shook hands with Jiang Qingkui again and said to Zhou Wang.
The Principal Bai mentioned by Ni Hong is Bai Lisheng, the current vice president of Cai University. It was only after his invitations several times that Zhou Wang agreed to attend the homecoming event. As for Dean Qin, he is the dean of Cai University Law School and has taught Zhou Wang's required civil law course, Professor Wang, was naturally Jiang Mo's former graduate tutor Wang Hongying, and he was an acquaintance with Zhou Wang now.
"How can I make several leaders wait for me? It's my fault. Teacher Ni, hurry up and lead the way..."
Zhou Wang said flattered.
Several people moved forward, and Zhou Wang had the opportunity to say hello to Wang Qiaobin beside him.
"Zhou Wang, you are really awesome now..."
Before meeting Zhou Wang, Wang Qiaobin felt that he still had a lot to say, but after holding it in for a long time, he could only say this.
Especially when he heard that even the vice principal was waiting for Zhou Wang, Wang Qiaobin was filled with emotion.
In the previous exchange activities, none of these leaders showed up...
"Brother B, let's not talk about business. You're not that bad!"
Zhou Wang just smiled.
Seeing that Zhou Wang's attitude was no different from before, Wang Qiaobin relaxed a lot. He laughed and said, "That's true."
After Wang Qiaobin saw Zhou Wang, he went to the venue first. Zhou Wang and Jiang Qingkui, led by Ni Hong, came to a small conference room next to the large lecture hall. As expected, four or five people were already drinking tea and waiting. When Ni Hong came in with Zhou Wang, everyone stood up.
"Haha, classmate Zhou Wang, Mr. Zhou, I'm looking forward to the stars and the moon, but I've been looking forward to you..."
Even without Ni Hong's introduction, Zhou Wang instantly understood the middle-aged man who came up to him with a big smile. He quickly took two steps forward and reached out to hold the man's hand.
"I'm sorry, Principal Bai. Logically speaking, when you called me for the first time, I should have gone back to my alma mater immediately. I really couldn't get away..."
"I understand, I understand. With Mr. Zhou's current wealth and status, it's very thoughtful to take the time to come back and have a look!"
After greeting Bai Lisheng, Zhou Wang quickly shook hands and greeted everyone else one by one. His attitude was quite respectful, but there were also some harmless jokes mixed in.
"Dean Qin, your style is still the same. I feel really ashamed when I think about it now. I skipped your class at that time..."
"Professor Wang, we meet again. Thank you for sending me the book. I benefited a lot after reading it!"
In addition to Dean Qin and Professor Wang, there were also the Secretary-General of the Alumni Association and the Deputy Director of the Academic Affairs Office.
Zhou Wang's counselor is a senior fellow with a Ph.D. in the same college. He recently went on a field trip with his advisor and happened to be away from school. In fact, even if he was here, he might not come to participate. After all, Zhou Wang and he are really not familiar with each other.
"Mr. Zhou, I have long admired your name..."
Compared with several school leaders who can still be somewhat reserved, the Secretary-General of the Alumni Association and Director Wang of the Academic Affairs Office are much more enthusiastic.
"Director Wang, long time no see."
When Zhou Wang shook hands with Director Wang, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.
Director Wang was a little confused, because in his own impression, he had never dealt with Zhou Wang.
But that didn't stop Director Wang from answering with a smile: "I can still impress Mr. Zhou deeply, which means my work is still somewhat effective..."
"That's true."
After some pleasantries, the process was completed. At this time, Ni Hong came next to Principal Bai and whispered something.
Bai Lisheng looked at his watch, raised his head and said to Zhou Wang: "Mr. Zhou, you see it's almost time. How about we finish the publicity activities first, and then we can chat slowly?"
"Okay, I'm fine."
When the next group of people walked out, Ni Hong quietly pulled Zhou Wang's clothes corner. Zhou Wang understood and slowed down a little.
Ni Hong walked to Zhou Wang and handed him a table while whispering: "Mr. Zhou, take a look. This is the sequence of the lecture. According to your request, we have arranged another three An outstanding graduate came to the stage to speak, and now you are the last one... Do you think there is any problem? "
Zhou Wang took it and glanced at it. He originally wanted to give it back to Ni Hong, but he saw a familiar name.
Zhou Wang was a little surprised, "Is this Lu Chen a graduate of the School of Economics?"
"Yes, do you know Mr. Zhou?"
Ni Hong smiled and nodded.
Zhou Wang was noncommittal, just glanced at his watch and asked casually: "The original time for the event to start was half past two, right?"
"Yes..."
Ni Hong was a little confused.
"It's almost three o'clock now. Is it too crowded to arrange for four more people to speak?"
"ah..."
Ni Hong was startled for a moment, and then she seemed to think of something. Her mind started to work crazily, and she asked tentatively: "Mr. Zhou, look...should we shorten the time for the first classmate to speak? Well, or should I say , I think two of the people speaking now are science students, and the other one is a girl. Otherwise, this classmate Lu Chen will not speak? "
"Of course I will cooperate with the school's arrangements unconditionally. Teacher Ni, just make whatever arrangements you think are appropriate."
Zhou Wang smiled when he heard this.
Ni Hong immediately knew that Zhou Wang was satisfied with this arrangement. She smiled bitterly in her heart. At Zhou Wang's age, does he actually understand the art of language so well...
However, Ni Hong then thought about it, otherwise she would not have become a billionaire at this age, and she felt relieved.
…
Large lecture hall.
Including some senior students from the main department and some staff from the student union, there were more than 200 people sitting in the lecture theater.
It's just that the atmosphere in the lecture theater was a little impetuous at this time, and many students showed impatient looks.
They signed in one after another before 2:10, but it was already close to 3 o'clock, and the lecture activity had not started yet. If it weren't for Ni Hong's harsh words and the expectation of possible credit rewards, I'm afraid Some people couldn't help but quietly left the scene.
The main thing that puzzles them the most is that the seniors who are going to give speeches have been waiting behind them for a long time, so what are they waiting for?
Lu Chen, Zhang Xiu'e and other graduates who were about to speak on stage were actually confused, but they had to be more patient after all.
Especially Lu Chen, as the first one to take the stage, he must have the best mentality, because it is equivalent to the school's recognition of him.
He has also observed that today's event is not small in scale, but the standard seems to be a bit like a grassroots team. At least among the graduates present... there is no one who can fight.
At this time, Wang Qiaobin, who had been away for a while, walked in from the back door.
Lu Chen, who had memorized the manuscript by heart, relaxed at this time and said with a smile: "Brother B, it turns out you haven't left yet!"
"Um?"
"Oh, I told them just now that you should have already... left early. After all, you are busier than us!"
Lu Chen said with a smile, and several graduates next to him showed uncontrollable smiles.
Wang Qiaobin naturally knew that his original words would not be good, but how could Wang Qiaobin care about this now? He just smiled in agreement and sat down in his seat.
Lu Chen suddenly felt bored. Is Wang Qiaobin so easy-going now?
At this time, a group of people walked in from the front door of the lecture theater. It was Principal Bai, Dean Qin and others.
Ordinary students just breathed a sigh of relief when they saw them, because the leader finally came, but a group of invited graduates were stunned...
Let me go, are today's specifications so high?
Why didn't they have any news beforehand...
In the absence of the principal and secretary, Executive Vice President Bai Lisheng was equivalent to the biggest boss of Caida University. They all thought that the Youth League Committee was responsible for this event. Who would have thought that Bai Lisheng would also come forward.
As the leaders entered the venue, reporters from the school newspaper, provincial TV stations and other media also entered the venue.
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then became even more excited. This stage seemed to be specially prepared for him!
According to the procedure, Ni Hong, who presided over the briefing meeting, first briefly introduced the leaders present, and then Principal Bai made a brief speech. At this time, Lu Chen was already blushing, and his blood was uncontrollably accelerating...
Because next, he will play.
After Bai Lisheng finished speaking, Ni Hong held the microphone and said with a smile:
"Next, let us give a warm applause to our first outstanding graduate representative today, Zhang Xiu'e, who is currently studying for a master's degree at Peking University, to speak on the stage!"
"?"
Lu Chen's smile froze as he was about to stand up, and he doubted for a moment whether he had heard it wrong.
At this time, Wang Qiaobin on the side endured it for a while, but in the end he couldn't hold back his lips. He didn't care about the occasion and burst out laughing.
Looking at Lu Chen who was looking around blankly, Wang Qiaobin really burst into tears from laughing——
Brother, keep pretending, keep pretending, why don't you pretend anymore?
You think you are the pride of heaven, but in fact, you are just like me, just an NPC who cooperates with the performance...
