Chap 7- Decided On Approaching Jiang Ting

Before returning to the hotel, through some effort, Tang Ziyu got Lin Zhinan’s contact number with the excuse his phone’s battery was dead and borrowed hers to call a friend.

  

Lin Zhinan pretended not to understand his intentions and offered him her phone.

  

Even after she heard his phone ringing in his pocket the moment he dialed, she had only looked at him astounded. Her fox’s eyes were innocent and confused.

  

Like a little Elk sneaking out of the forest at sunrise.

  

Unexpectedly, Tang Ziyu let out a few low laughs.

  

Please…Zhi Nan rolled her eyes internally.

   

Thinks she’s still a village girl, she has long seen this kind of trick before.

  

She also tried to guide the topic towards the man in the car, but the few answers she got were, just his neighbor that he doesn’t contact much.

  

There wasn’t any substantial information, thus Lin Zhinan stopped probing.

  

She just wondered about his gaze with strong emotions at that fleeting moment.

   

Although it was just a flash, it was still accurately captured by her, strange…

  

Since she couldn’t comprehend why, Zhinan stopped concentrating on it.

  

That man is full of danger and mystery, different from Tang Ziyu. Clearly the type she can’t easily approach.

  

After the torrential rain, the imperial capital is sunny as usual.

  

This gap of a few hours was nothing more than the sun falling from the top of the building and setting in the west.

  

But in these few hours- unknowing to anyone-, Lin Zhinan went through an upheaval internally.

  

The heavy downpour quietly extinguished the last trace of her innocence.

  

She changed into the uniform and knocked on the door of the room manager amid the strange eyes of others.

  

Her every word was sincere and careful, taking all the responsibility onto herself, saying that because her impulse almost caused a catastrophe to the hotel, she was willing to accept any criticism and punishment.

  

Manager Chen put down the pen in her hand and asked, “Do you realize where you’ve done wrong?”

  

“I’ve recognized it, manager.” Lin Zhinan said tearfully, “I was too reckless in the afternoon. I shouldn’t have a face-to-face conflict with the guests. I promise I will never do this again in future.”

  

Manager Chen’s expression softened down a bit, she hadn’t any intentions of punishment.

  

She knew better than anyone else, that Song Lei was but a l*stful paper tiger. He panicked the moment he heard that there was surveillance.

  

If it wasn’t for the fact that he’s to be a writer for “Global Travel”, who would even be bothered with him.

  

She knew that Lin Zhinan was wronged, but such aggrievedness was insignificant in the face of the hotel’s interests.

  

It’s best for a little girl to figure out herself; everyone is bound to have aggrievedness of some kind at work and they’re not here to enjoy a happy life.

  

 “Zhinan, how about this, you’re also tired after the two morning and night shifts this period.”

  

She knew the importance of giving a sweet date after a slap, and said comfortingly, “I’ll inform your supervisor later, you go back and take a good rest these few days, adjust your mood.”

  

Lin Zhinan thanked her softly, and the tears of gratitude in her eyes were all scattered in the light the very second she closed the door behind her.

   

Cold and indifferent.

  

Why doesn’t Nightingale sing in a low voice, because she thinks it’s not worth it.

—

  

The next day was a day off. As usual, Zhinan went to YanChing University for a class.

  

According to her -nearly a month’s worth of experience disguised as a student to attend class, there is a class this morning by Teacher Zhang Yanhong from the School of Finance.

  

He taught profound theories in simple language, and he gave a lively and interesting course on “Investment” that even beginners like Lin Zhinan have benefited a lot from.

  

She arrived at the school gate half an hour earlier, thinking she could sneak in as smoothly as before.

  

Unexpectedly, before the marbled main entrance, she was stopped by security.

  

It is the school’s express regulations that non-University community members are not allowed to enter the school and must show their student ID in order to gain entry.

  

“Mister, I just wanted to enter and listen in to the class, I won’t disturb the University’s students.”

  

Lin Zhinan noticed that it was not the security guard from before, so she spoke in a lower and softened voice.

   

“That won’t work.” The beauty of the sight of red lips and white teeth before him made the security guard glance several times, but he still didn’t let her in.

   

“The previous security guard was fired because he was always letting people in to attend classes, girl, don’t put me in a tough spot.”

   

“You don’t have to come to YanChing University. Making good use of your own school’s courses and library is better than anything else.” He persuaded, “It’s a waste of time to travel up and down.”

   

“… ” If I have a school to attend, why would I travel here to YanChing University.

Lin Zhinan complained in her heart but still thanked him. Then stood silently at the side to see if she could have a run-in with the students of YanChing.

  

YanChing University is very at ease with the students from its school, including the people they bring in.

  

So Zhinan often saw three or four people brought in by a student ID, and the security guards closing an eye to this behaviour.

  

Because most of them were in class at this timing, she waited for a while before spotting three girls nearing while talking and laughing. The school badge on their cloth bag was enough to explain everything.

  

Zhinan immediately went up to them and explained her intentions. Teacher Zhang Yanhong’s class has started for more than ten minutes, so she was anxious to enter the school. Thus, she never noticed that the tall girl next to her stared with unkind eyes while she was speaking.

   

An attractive woman could easily find a superior spot among the opposite sex.

  

But not necessarily with the same sex. The strong jealousy among women made them incapable of accepting any attractive woman that’s a stranger.

  

“Please, can I trouble you to bring me in?” Zhinan asked.

  

“Well, of cou—”

  

“Xiaoxiao.” A female voice suddenly interrupted, and Lin Zhinan looked at the girl talking on the side. She was tall and very beautiful.

  

Only, those eyes of hers did not show goodwill.

  

Zhinan seemed aware of it, and as expected, she heard her say, “Let’s not bring people in. I heard that some dorms lost their things two days ago.”

  

Jiang Rao glanced at Zhinan, “If we brought in some arguable people, we may be the ones to bear the blame.”

  

Arguable…

Her words were like a huge bucket of cold water poured on Lin Zhinan’s head. She was like a street rat being burned under the blazing sun, her corpse crushed into pieces by the passing car.

  

She seemed to have seen the slightly sorry eyes of the other two girls, but until they walked away, she was still stunned by those words.

  

The person who left these words had already walked away when Zhinan finally came to her senses and wanted to fly into a rage and refute her.

  

But there seemed to be a heavy rock weighing on her chest, so heavy it made her eyes slightly teared.

  

What she said is the truth.

  

She is arguable, hence no company was willing to employ her when looking for a job. No matter how hard she tries, she was but a person with hidden intentions in the eyes of others.

  

Even something simple like listening in to a lesson, she couldn’t get into the classroom.

  

In front of the tall mountains of reality, she had to go through one obstacle after another in exhaustion, never-ending.

  

The familiar exhaustion appeared again, Zhinan desperately suppressed the tears in her eyes, her face buried deep in her knees whilst squatting on the side of the road.

  

Only this time, she dared not even be decadent.

  

Other people could afford to be depressed countless times, but she can’t.

  

Every minute and second of hers is stolen from God.

  

The scorching sun was in the sky, and the figure under the shade of the tree shrank itself into a small ball, silent even in her weakness.

  

Suddenly, a few cars passed by quickly, and the heatwave startled the resting birds on the tree, while awakening the dying roses planted by the sidewalk.

When Zhinan looked up, she saw several black cars parked at the gate of YanChing University. The car at the very front looked familiar.

Before she recalled, she saw a group of people crowding around a young man in suit and leather shoes coming out of the University.

  

Politely nodded with a smiling face.

   

“GM Jiang, thank you for your support to the education cause, and thank you for your continued attention to the school’s aerospace and AI field.”

  

The principal, Sun Pei, followed Jiang Ting with a smile while bending slightly. 

(T/N: bending because Jiang Ting had higher status and authority)

  

As soon as he said this, the other school leaders followed suit and acted solicitously.

  

There is no other reason than the fact that the Guangye Group is firmly established as the leader of the e-commerce industry in China and is renowned internationally.

  

For decades, many talents from YanChing University have been accepted there. Jiang Ting, the new general manager who succeeded his father, graduated from YanChing University and donates hundreds of millions for scholarships and scientific research every year.

   

Such a big Buddha, how can everyone not hold him up on a pedestal?

   

Even Sun Pei, who is at the deputy ministerial level in the country, dare not neglect, let alone the fact that the Jiang family had sturdy roots in the central of the capital.

  

“This is what I ought to do.” Jiang Ting’s smile was polite but distant, “My secretary will follow up on the subsequent matters, Principal Sun can contact him.”

  

The group had already walked outside the school. Sun Pei very insightfully opened the car door and bowed in wait for him to get into the car.

  

Lin Zhinan, who was hiding behind the marble wall, watched this scene completely from the sidelines. Because it was crowded, she couldn’t hear what they were talking about.

  

But the humbling bowing and bended knees, as well as the scene of flattering were far more real than movies.

  

Coincidentally, she recognized both of them.

  

One was the man who gave her a quick glance last night, which left a deep impression on her.

  

The other one, she had seen his picture in the display column of the University.

  

——Principal Sun Pei of Yanjing University.

  

It is hard to even imagine the background and financial resources of the person who can make the principal so humbly courteous.

  

Before she could delve further, she was interrupted by a female voice that travelled from far to near.

   

“Brother Ting!”

  

Han Xing ran forward a few steps, scrupulous of the school’s leader who stood on the periphery, she asked with a smile, “Why have you come to YanChing University?”

  

Jiang Ting raised his eyes, and the crowd around him automatically made way.

  

She stepped forward two steps, and said, “You’re too much. You don’t even know to visit me when you come to school. My brother even asked you to take care of me before leaving for abroad.”

  

If it was someone else who spoke such untimely words, someone would have come out and scolded. However, she was also one they dare not offend- the school’s leader just stood on the sidelines and laughed.

  

The man’s eyebrows were in a slight frown, and his smile was a little more real, “Shouldn’t you be in class at this time?”

  

Oops, caught skipping class.

  

Han Xing stuttered to find a reason, but Jiang Ting saw through her and said, “I was on a conference call with your brother yesterday, and he asked about your current situation.”

  

He said lightly, “I will tell him more specifically next time?”

  

It’s over!

   

“Erm well, I was just going to buy some school supplies.” Han Xing didn’t dare to stay any longer, waved her hand in a small arc, “I’m leaving now, Brother Ting, you get on with your business, don’t worry about me.”

  

She just wanted to go and watch a movie, why couldn’t she have resisted calling out to him?

   

She bid farewell to the school leaders politely and sneaked away like a mouse that’s met a cat.

  

Jiang Ting looked at the figure sneaking away and chuckled lightly before turning around and entered the car.

  

As soon as the car door was closed, the few black cars drove away slowly, and the school leaders breathed a sigh of relief as if they were faced with a formidable enemy, chatting as they walked away.

  

Leaving behind only the lone Lin Zhinan standing in the corner with the weeds, her dark eyes no longer had their adriftness.

  

She stared fixedly upfront with eyes filled with infinite longing, shining unbridledly.

  

A very bizarre idea spread like sparks, slowly filling her mind.

  

——If it was requested by the man who just spoke, I can definitely enter YanChing University!

  

Zhinan knows what this means. There is no free lunch in the world, they are not relatives, and their social status was worlds apart.

  

He was Heaven’s favoured child(born with a silver spoon in his mouth), while she was lowly like an ant.

  

Don’t even mention making an exception for her, for it’s almost certain his eyes won’t stay on her for even a while, any approach she makes will seem clear as day to such a person– she would be labeled a pretty swindler or someone who has an axe to grind.

  

She found it hard to move an inch.

  

But the harder it is, the more Zhinan longed, like the boil before the magma rose, every pore in her skin was screaming just do it.

  

This prestigious and world-renowned school is waiting for you just upfront.

  

Lin Zhinan’s mind gave birth to unprecedented sobriety and reason.

  

She must enter YanChing University.

  

She wants to enter honourably as a student of YanChing University, no longer an arguable person in others’ mouths!

  

And the opportunity.

  

Lin Zhinan looked at the beautiful silhouette that was about to disappear in the corner.

  

She had a hunch, the opportunity was that girl.

  

The person she met in the western restaurant.

  

With no time to waste, Lin Zhinan quickly scanned a rented bicycle on the sidewalk to chase after her.
