"If I remember correctly, Professor Li, today's lecture is also credit-bearing, right?"

Gu Zhun clicked his tongue, unable to bear looking at Shen Beitang's credits on the roster.

"Someone is just one credit short."

He's a despicable person, utterly despicable!

Fortunately, Gu Zhun is only the richest man now. Given his petty and vengeful nature, what would happen if he became president?

I doubt she'll even see the sun rise the next day!

Because the original owner never attended classes properly, his credits are still a pitiful single digit, making graduation a pipe dream.

Shen Beitang gritted his teeth, reluctantly stood up, and recited the standard answer he had long memorized.

"According to the regulations, Party B shall bear all losses incurred during this period and actively seek Party A's understanding."

Gu Zhun tapped the table with his pen, "Well said."

"May I sit down now, Professor Gu?"

Shen Beitang asked, but he was already sitting firmly in the chair, with an attitude that said, "What can you do to me?"

She refused to believe that in a society governed by the rule of law, Gu Zhun would dare to go crazy and kill her in public.

"I have another question. Based on your answer just now, can it be assumed that Party B is required to meet all of Party A's requirements?"

Gu Zhun looked at the other person calmly, but his Adam's apple bobbed unnaturally, as if he was trying his best to endure it.

"From the perspective of a businessman who is also at fault, the company's interests should be the top priority, and we should cooperate with all of the client's requests."

"May I sit down now, Professor Gu?"

Although Shen Beitang and Gu were actually not really together, they just couldn't stand being in such a cramped space as the classroom.

Being stared at with such hatred by so many girls at the same time is unsettling.

Gu Zhun smiled enigmatically and gestured for Shen Beitang to sit down, as if directing a small animal.

"Please remember what I said today, Shen."

Could it be that you want her to remember what I said today...?

So Gu Zhun wasn't so bad after all. This question is definitely going to be the final exam question this year.

Good heavens, Gu Zhun is leaking the exam questions to himself in advance.

"Alright, next is the group collaboration session. The best students will have the opportunity to do a half-semester internship at Gu's."

A moment later, Li Huai dropped a bombshell: almost all the girls came to class today for this reason.

It would be better to stay at Shen's company and help Ms. Zhou than to intern at Gu Zhun's company.

Why would you want to work for a competitor's company and contribute to their GDP?

While everyone else was frantically looking for partners to form teams, Shen Beitang remained in his seat with little interest.

In addition, Shen Beitang's outstanding appearance makes it even more desirable for any girl to have another competitor in her group.

The circle centered around Shen Beitang was now completely empty.

"Sister, let's team up, two of us."

Su Yi'an rested her chin on her hands, sat in the seat in front of Shen Beitang, and stared at him without blinking.

Shen Beitang glanced at the menacing gaze beside her and withdrew her hand.

"I don't want to become the enemy of girls again."

Su Yi'an's popularity at Anhui University has always been high, consistently ranking first on the list of campus heartthrobs.

No one knew anything about her except the name "Su Yi'an".

Su Yi'an seemed oblivious to the whispers of the girls around her, her eyes fixed solely on Shen Beitang before her.

"That must be because my sister is too beautiful, and other people are jealous."

Taking the opportunity, Su Yi'an grasped the other's hand, "Sister, didn't we already agree? We'd be in a group of two."

How can a boy speak in such a delicate and pitiful tone?

“I’m afraid of holding you back; I don’t want to do an internship at all.”

Shen Beitang had no choice but to explain the reason, since interning at Gu's company would greatly enhance his future resume.

She didn't want to ruin Su Yi'an's future because of her own actions.

"Hmph, I don't want to go to Gu Fenggou's company."

"Sister, please let me be in your group."

Unable to bear Su Yi'an's pleas, Shen Beitang could only nod in agreement.

Even if we can't go to the Gu family, it's not impossible to have Su Yi'an come to the Shen family in the future.

"Sister, you are so kind."

Su Yi'an slumped his head on the table, wanting Shen Beitang to touch him.

Habits are a terrible thing; once you've had one, you'll want to have one a second, a third...

...

"Alright, everyone, please divide into groups and complete the discussion. Members of each group, please come up to the stage to present your results."

Li Huai followed the list and had the students come up to the stage in groups to give their presentations, but the more he listened, the closer his brows furrowed.

"Oh, Gu Zhun, I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing."

Li Huai took a sip of tea, embarrassed, to cover up his awkwardness.

The Gu family and Anhui University have always had a cooperative relationship, and interns are always selected from Li Huai's team.

Other teachers who wanted to add students to the class were directly rejected by Gu Zhun.

Li Huai hadn't expected the quality of the college students this time to be so poor; they were all only interested in looking at the handsome guys.

His answer to the question was completely irrelevant, but his eyes never left Gu Zhun.

"How about... we just skip this year's internship? I'll find you some good ones from other colleges."

Li Huai wished he could disappear into a hole in the ground. After so many years of teaching and nurturing students, he was a true role model in the education field.

Why did things go wrong this year?

"It's okay, there's still one more group."

Gu Zhun pointed to Shen Beitang and Su Yi'an, who were whispering to each other, and said, "They haven't said anything yet."

Li Huai's vision went black. Su Yi'an did have good grades, but she was hanging out with Shen Beitang.

Even the greatest talent cannot withstand such attrition.

“Gu Zhun, Su Yi’an is alright, that child is good, but Shen Beitang… I advise you to think it over more.”

"Teacher, since they're the only ones left anyway, what will the department say about you if I don't even want one of your students?"

Gu Zhun spoke in a grand and dignified manner, appearing as if he were deeply concerned for his mentor.

Li Huai hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

"Shen Beitang, Su Yi'an, you two stay behind. Your senior brother Gu has something to say to you."

"ah!"

Shen Beitang paused in packing his schoolbag. None of them had gone up to speak, so why were they staying behind?

"Oh, what is it? Hurry up and pack your things and come downstairs."

...

After class, Gu Zhun put on his unfathomable glasses again and looked at Su Yi'an with displeasure.

"Shen Beitang, are you overflowing with compassion? You even dare to pick up stray dogs whose origins you don't know."

"Gu Zhun, watch your mouth. Su Yi'an is my junior."

Shen Beitang wasn't stupid; of course he understood that these words were directed at Su Yi'an.

Gu Zhun chuckled and shrugged. "I didn't say who this dog is."
