"Xiao Wu, what's going on between you and that person just now?" Chen Xiuhua is very perceptive about people and things in the outside world.

As she walked in, and even at the entrance, she vaguely heard people talking about what the man driving the car was saying. He was the young master of the Huo family, the richest family in Beijing.

Chen Xiuhua listened attentively. She had a bad feeling; some rumors were going to affect her younger sister Xiao Wu's studies at school, so she deliberately avoided asking questions.

Chen Xihua was slightly taken aback, and at the same time noticed that the two senior students leading the way had just finished asking their questions, and their steps paused almost imperceptibly.

She instantly understood the meaning behind her fourth sister's question.

Then, she pretended to hesitate for a moment, and said casually,

"Ah? Young Master Huo? Oh, that was before. He went to our Jiang City and ran into some trouble on the way. My second sister and I happened to be passing by and helped him."

He said he would thank me and repay me after I came to Beijing. At that time, my second sister and I didn't take it to heart; it was just a small favor, and we didn't need to be polite.

But to my surprise, Young Master Huo kept his word and truly repaid kindness; he even came to wait for me at the school gate.

Chen Xihua wanted to leave quickly not because she was afraid people would misunderstand her or think she had a bad relationship with Huo Kai.

Rather, it's his attire and the flashy car he drives that, combined with the fact that it's freshman registration time, will attract more attention if I talk to him more.

For now, Chen Xihua wants to keep a low profile.

However, her original plan was that if she wanted to continue doing business in Beijing or open a branch company, she might try to establish some connection with the Huo family.

After all, it's good to have a powerful backer; he had saved Huo Kai's life before.

If there's a powerful figure to rely on, why not take advantage of it? As long as you have a clear conscience, there's no need to be overly aloof.

However, she really didn't think about it that way, after all, she was a 30-year-old auntie at heart.

She only saw Huo Kai as an eighteen or twenty-year-old spoiled young master, a foolish son of a landlord.

There was another reason why she and her second sister rescued him that time: Huo Kai, this rich second-generation, was a man of loyalty and integrity.

It is someone you can associate with.

At that time, he was able to immediately remind himself and his second sister, who were passing by, to turn around and leave, instead of thinking about dragging two more people down with him or exchanging benefits.

At least it shows that Huo Kai is a decent person. He's not the arrogant rich kid who looks down on or disdains others.

Therefore, she felt that getting to know Huo Kai and becoming friends was something she could do openly and honestly, and Chen Xihua never thought of hiding it.

"Oh, I see." Chen Xiuhua said in an "I see" tone.

"Hmm." Chen Xihua's lips curled up, as if she wanted to laugh.

She noticed that as soon as she finished explaining those words, the two senior students in front of her stopped listening attentively and walked quickly forward.

Fortunately, my fourth sister reminded me in time.

Those who can be arranged to welcome new students are basically senior students from the school's student union or certain clubs.

With my explanation just now, no one should deliberately spread bad rumors about me anymore.

Of course, Chen Xihua was just afraid of trouble, not worried that it would cause any harm.

Soon, the group arrived at the registration desk. After registering, Chen Xihua asked her counselor, who was in his twenties, about taking another major.

The counselor said, "If you want to take another major, that's fine. But you can't fail the exams and affect your graduation just because you have more courses."

After waiting for about ten minutes and completing the registration, a different senior student took them to the girls' dormitory.

Six people live in room 905 of dormitory building 29.

Today is the first day of registration. Chen Xihua was the first to arrive at the dormitory, and she chose the upper bunk.

Chen Xihua had just heard Counselor Gao say that there were only six girls in their class.

Their pharmaceutical engineering major, although part of the chemistry department, is a comprehensive major.

They study physics, chemistry, biology, pharmacy, traditional Chinese medicine, chemical engineering, engineering, etc., and there are more boys than girls.

After settling in, the three Chen sisters returned to the courtyard house.

These few days are the registration period for new students. They will officially return to school on August 31 to participate in the freshman military training.

Chen Xihua thought that she would first go to the humanities university where her eldest sister was studying tomorrow morning to register.

Tomorrow afternoon, I'll take a stroll around Beijing, take some photos, since I'm in the capital and should definitely visit iconic places like the National Flag Raising Square and the Forbidden City.

At that moment, in the president's office at Peking University, President Xu smiled and said to the director of admissions...

"That old man over there is trying to steal Chen Xihua from our school. I'm not worried at all. Girls who can apply for pharmaceutical engineering are very determined and won't be easily persuaded."

"Yes, I was just watching and seeing that they hadn't arrived yet, so I was a little worried," the admissions director said with a smile.

"Academician Ning's grandson is in the physics department, right? Does Ning Wenfeng know that he applied to Professor Liang's physics program, and Professor Ning was unhappy because he didn't apply to his chemistry program?"

The elderly couple were arguing, both saying their grandson should apply for the research he wanted, and they even came to me for my opinion. How could I possibly take sides? Principal Xu still can't help but laugh when he thinks about that day.

The two professors are very rigorous in their academic research, and even after retirement, they remain dedicated to their studies. However, when it comes to their grandson, they become a bit like children.

——

Two days later, Chen Xihua's university life began. The first half month was military training, which involved going to a training base.

Before the military training began, Chen Xihua met with the more than forty students in the pharmaceutical class. There were thirty-nine boys and six girls, a total of forty-five people.

Chen Xihua didn't know all the boys, except that the male class monitor also had the surname Chen and was named Chen Haoyu.

The other five girls include two from Northeast China: Tian Tian and Dong Xue, who have cheerful personalities, and Chen Xihua. The three of them are the tallest among the girls, about 1.7 meters tall.

Xu Min, who is from the Northwest and has dark skin; Deng Xinyin, who is from Beijing; and Liao Jiajia, who is from Guangdong Province.

Two days after the start of military training, Chen Xihua felt that Instructor Jiang was targeting her in every way.

Whether it's standing at attention, marching, or standing at attention, he always finds a way to make things difficult for her; she's already been punished by running twice.

This afternoon, it was time to stand at attention again.

Chen Xihua didn't actually move, but Instructor Jiang still came to bother her, "Chen Xihua, step forward. You moved your forehead. You're punished by running two laps."

The students in the pharmaceutical class, both male and female, felt somewhat reluctant to do it.

I wanted to speak up for Chen Xihua, but I had tried before and was punished even more severely, so I could only watch.

Chen Xihua was the youngest student in their class. She was good-looking, academically excellent, and the top scorer in the college entrance examination.

They didn't know why they had offended the instructor, but some of them seemed to have a vague idea.

When students from nearby classes saw Chen Xihua step out of line, they knew she had been punished again, and some of them looked on with amusement.

Some girls were secretly laughing to themselves, thinking, "Serves her right, so what if she's pretty?"

Although some senior students in the school and student council explained that Young Master Huo came to express his gratitude to that student Chen that day.

However, many people are still talking about what happened at the school gate that day, mainly because some people are jealous of Chen Xihua's good looks.

Chen Xihua, who had already started running as punishment, roughly guessed what was going on.

She had only been in Beijing for a few days and hadn't made any enemies. It must have been that day that Huo Kai came looking for her, attracting attention.

The instructor, Jiang, seemed to harbor a subtle hostility towards me, suggesting he was trying to cause trouble for me on behalf of his family or friends.

Once or twice is acceptable, but not a third time; she cannot accept being repeatedly targeted.

She was planning in her mind what she could do to replace Instructor Jiang.

Thinking this, Chen Xihua had already run two laps.

Actually, she already had a plan, but she just hadn't made a decision yet.

Just as she was about to run back to her class, the head instructor, who had a fierce expression and was tall and strong, happened to be patrolling near their pharmaceutical class.

"Reporting to the Chief Instructor, student Chen Xihua has something to report."

Chen Xihua, who was about to rejoin the team, turned around and jogged a few steps to the head instructor.
