Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Liu Jingheng’s threat.

The threat plan failed, and Liu Jingheng suddenly began to doubt whether Qin Chuyao's so-called perfect plan really had even one percent feasibility?

After thinking about it, I blame myself.

It must be that his tone was not firm and ruthless enough, and his lines were not skillful and firm enough, which made the villain, who had seen a lot of things, realize that he was just bluffing.

Liu Jingheng began to practice diligently in front of the mirror.

He even developed a unique theory of performance - that is, to abandon the traditional outdated fixed thinking patterns, learn to adapt to the situation, and draw inferences from one example to another.

When Qin Du got home from get off work, he saw Liu Jingheng squatting at the door holding Penny. As soon as he saw her, he said:

"If you don't agree with me getting married to Fen, I...I won't take Penny out for a walk to relieve herself."

Qin Du glanced at him and sneered:

"Really? Do you need me to prepare diapers in advance?"

Penny: What does it have to do with me?

Qin Du finished his shower and came down to pour water. Liu Jingheng hid in a dark corner with a gloomy expression:

"If you don't agree to my marriage, I'll...I'll return the glutinous rice to you, so you can feel the pain of loss."

Qin Du drank the water slowly:

"Really? Even if I can't get a full refund, half is fine. Do you know my bank account number? Remember to transfer the money to me."

Liu Jingheng: ...

Qin Du got up early and went to the company. Liu Jingheng, who had been waiting at the door all night, came up to him with dark circles under her eyes.

"If you don't agree to my marriage, I will..."

I yawned and forgot what happened next. After a whole night of waiting, my mind was already not clear.

"Is that so?" Qin Du didn't care what he was going to say next, and gave the answer first. "I heard that people who die suddenly are not accepted by heaven or earth, and can only become wandering souls and wander the world for the rest of their lives."

Liu Jingheng covered her unfinished yawn and touched her heart, which was beating out of rhythm.

Finally, he dragged his broken body upstairs and threw himself on the soft big bed.

When I woke up, it was already evening. The Qin family's restaurant was brightly lit, but not everyone had arrived yet. The old man and Uncle Li were whispering to each other again.

"No, Lao Li, are you sure about what you said? It's been so long, why is Qin Du still acting like he has nothing to do with it?"

Uncle Li: "Master Lao, it seems that this bad idea came from you."

The old man made a "tsk" sound, and saw Qin Du coming downstairs out of the corner of his eye. He quickly called Qin Chuyao, who was still playing games in the living room, to come over.

Once everyone was present, he began to try to jog their memories:

"I had a master calculate the date this afternoon. The sixth day of next month happens to be the sixth, a very auspicious day that only comes once in a century. I think that day will be it. Qin Du, you don't have to go to the company these few days. Prepare the wedding arrangements first. My Qin family wants a grand wedding."

Qin Du nodded calmly: "Okay."

Qin Chuyao was stunned for a long time, then put down his chopsticks. He had no appetite anymore, so he wiped it.

Liu Jingheng also silently put down her chopsticks. "No appetite, dammit."

"What's wrong, Teacher Xiao Liu? Are you not liking the food?" The old man pretended to be concerned, but actually he laughed out loud in his heart.

Qin Du, Qin Du, look how miserable your wife is. I don't believe you can just sit back and do nothing.

Liu Jingheng was a statue for a long time. With a dead look on his face, he took out his notebook, took a look at it, and read:

"Qin, Qin Du, I'm making this final statement. If you don't agree to my marriage, I won't eat this meal and will starve to death."

Let you live in regret all your life!

0 people present were threatened.

Qin Du cut the steak politely, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Half a century passed. Under the expectant gaze of the crowd, he wiped the corner of his mouth, a gentle smile on his face:

“I don’t think I disagreed.”

As he spoke, he clapped his hands lightly and offered his sincere blessings:

"Don't worry, I promise to make every possible arrangement for your wedding. It will be grand, spectacular, and witnessed by the whole country."

He put down his knife and fork and stood up: "I'm done eating, everyone, take your time."

After saying that, he turned and went upstairs.

Mr. Qin & Uncle Li: I seem to have a rebellious mentality. I suddenly feel that Chu Yao and Jingjing are really a perfect match, made in heaven.

Liu Jingheng had a sullen face, but she hadn't given up yet.

He quietly followed Qin Du upstairs, and like before, he peeked in at the door like the cannon fodder in movies and TV dramas.

Qin Du drank black tea with great elegance and said in a leisurely voice:

"Why, are there any other wedding details you want to tell me?"

Liu Jingheng took a step forward, her body almost bent into a C shape, and spoke cautiously:

"I didn't have dinner."

Qin Du raised his eyes: "Yeah, so."

Liu Jingheng added: "I'm really hungry. I'm about to pass out."

Qin Du chuckled: "I'm going to starve to death."

Liu Jingheng's brain completely shut down as he listened to the playful "oh." He pursed his lips tightly, the lines of his lips like the waves that night.

Qin Du glanced at the fruit plate on the table, twisted the edge with his fingers, and asked casually:

"You keep emphasizing this issue, do you want me to feed you?"

Liu Jingheng's thoughts were still floating over Ordos. Without thinking, she nodded:

"right."

Qin Du raised his hand to support his chin, and moved his fingers up to hide the smile at the corner of his lips.

So he said:

"Hey, you can act like a spoiled child and let me see."

Liu Jingheng:?

Liu Jingheng:!

What kind of statement is this?

Uncle Li said that Mr. Qin hated people acting like a spoiled child to him the most. It seemed to be related to his deceased second wife. It was said that anyone who committed a crime and tried to get away with it by acting like a spoiled child would never have a good ending.

Liu Jingheng bit her lower lip, looking forward to it.

Although he was bound to die, his plan to bring the male protagonists together had not yet been completed, and he was unable to personally express his love to the boss.

It's too early to die now.

First refuse, then refuse.

He twisted his hands nervously, and his whole body curled up into a ball like a shell.

He spoke timidly:

"I, I can't, uncle, please don't torture me..."

At this moment, his head and tongue were all in a mess. He just hoped that Qin Du would treat him the same way he treated Qin Chuyao, and spare his life because of the title of "little uncle".

Qin Du looked at him calmly for a long time, then raised his hand and waved at him:

"come over."

Liu Jingheng didn't dare to move, but just stretched her head forward so that she could escape at any time.

Qin Du reached for the fork and found the largest and freshest strawberry in the fruit bowl, then handed it over.

"You're so good, I'll feed you this time."

Liu Jingheng: ???

I don't know why, but with delicious food in front of me, it's impossible to remain calm.

He bit the strawberry and his cheeks instantly bulged out.

Qin Du stared straight at his mouth until he swallowed the strawberry, then picked out a piece of fresh guava and handed it to him, saying:

"It's really too early for you to marry Chu Yao. Besides, you have no merits at all. Are you going to marry him as a mascot? At least you should learn the rules first. I feel sorry for my nephew, so of course I have to keep a close eye on him."

He also asked, “Isn’t that right?”

Liu Jingheng simply ignored the second half and nodded vigorously at "It's too early":

"Yes, yes, yes."

Qin Du handed over the whole fruit plate and stood up:

"Finish your fruit and go to bed early. I'll go downstairs and discuss it with them."

Liu Jingheng imitated the lackeys in movies and TV dramas and bowed stiffly at a 90-degree angle:

"Take care, uncle. You've worked hard."

Qin Du turned his back to Liu Jingheng, no longer having to hide his smile, and two deep dimples appeared on both sides of his cheeks.

downstairs.

When Qin Du said, "I think the marriage between Chu Yao and Liu Jingheng is still debatable," both the old man and Uncle Li's eyes lit up.

As soon as Qin Du left, the two of them gave each other a hug with tears in their eyes.

"Lao Li! It's done! We did it!"

"Master! It's happened! Mr. Qin's lifelong event is here!"

Standing at the corner of the spiral staircase, Qin Du, who had not yet left, looked at the two of them, who looked like old men, and smiled and shook his head.

How did the two of them become like this? It was probably because after Liu Jingheng came in, she conducted a large-scale obedience test on everyone and achieved full marks.

This is cause for celebration.

*

As July arrives, Jinhai City in the book officially welcomes the hot summer.

Along with summer comes endless rain.

On July 8th, Liu Jingheng received several important notifications from the college group:

At 10:00 AM on July 9th, all faculty and students of the School of Tourism Management will take a graduation photo at the school's Shuxiang Square, after which they will proceed to the auditorium for the graduation ceremony.

Amidst the human-like "Received, Teacher Feng Tong, thank you for your careful teachings," Liu Jingheng, for once, joined in the conversation. She quickly glanced at the message and typed word by word:

[Received, Teacher Mabi, thank you for your careful teaching.]

After sending it, Liu Jingheng fell into deep thought.

How could someone name a child "Ma Bi"? That's horrible.

After him, all the college students who could only copy followed suit:

[Received, Teacher Mabi, thank you for your careful teaching.]

When the college students discovered the clues and wanted to withdraw, it was too late.

Counselor Feng Tong: "Fuck..."

Liu Jingheng didn't notice that his attention was not here, but on the final, cannon fodder mission of the novel.

The original owner of the cannon fodder almost disappeared until graduation, and the rest of the time was left to the original villain.

Graduation season is also the last chance for the original cannon fodder to struggle to his death.

In the original text, Cheng Yunqing, as an outstanding graduate, was to give a speech at the ceremony. This year happened to be the 100th anniversary of the founding of Jinhai University, which was of great importance. Therefore, many celebrities from all walks of life were invited to visit the graduation ceremony. The school also attached great importance to the speech ceremony of outstanding graduates. Various rehearsals and procedures began a few days ago to ensure that everything went smoothly.

Taking into consideration that the auditorium was too large and students in the back row might not be able to see the faces of the outstanding graduates clearly, the school added a video projection feature, projecting Cheng Yunqing, a beautiful figure with a clear mind, onto the large screen behind them for all teachers and students to appreciate.

Naturally, the original owner was unwilling to miss this opportunity. He sneaked backstage and used an excuse to distract the student in charge of screen projection. He connected his mobile phone to the screen and played the video of Cheng Yunqing and Qin Chuyao kissing intimately that he had accidentally captured.

Generally speaking, a normal school would treat this as an activity accident, severely punish the students involved, and hold a press conference to explain the situation.

But "Love Comes Again" is a classic among classics of Mary Sue literature. The intimate kissing scene between Qin Cheng and Cheng is even more poignant against the backdrop of a perfect couple, causing the audience to shed tears and applaud thunderously.

The principal, who had been furious, was deeply moved by this scene. Recalling his youthful years, he waved his hand and directly expressed his willingness to be a witness to this extraordinary love story and to send his most sincere blessings to the young, vigorous and pure-love newlyweds.

In the end, the school thoroughly investigated the perpetrators, and the original owner suffered the consequences, being expelled from school just as graduation was approaching. By the end of the novel, the original owner still had a high school diploma.

After recalling the original text, Liu Jingheng scratched his head faster.

It was difficult for him to understand the process, that is, where to get the video of Cheng Yunqing and Qin Chuyao hugging each other intimately?

He still said the same thing, he could never match the original owner's greatness.

Liu Jingheng used all his brain capacity to analyze how to successfully persuade Qin Cheng and the other person to hug each other intimately, such as instigating them to play Truth or Dare, or pushing one of them from behind to create the accidental kiss unique to TV dramas. In the end, all the plans were rejected by him one by one.

It looks very feasible, but in fact it is full of loopholes.

While I was thinking, Uncle Li came in holding a bachelor's gown.

"Jingjing, I've fixed the shoulder sleeves of your bachelor's gown. Would you like to try it on?"

Previously, the college notified students to go to the school logistics office to pick up their bachelor's gowns. Liu Jingheng was slow to react and had to be urged by the class monitor. By the time it was his turn, there were only some sizes left that were extremely ill-fitting. Uncle Li suggested that he just buy a new one online.

As a result, the shoulders and sleeves of the bachelor's gown she bought were made extremely wide. I don't know what the seller's aesthetic taste was, but it was made to look like European court puff sleeves. She looked like a spinning top when she wore it. Uncle Li took the trouble to send Liu Jingheng's bachelor's gown to have the shoulders and sleeves altered overnight.

Liu Jingheng barely managed to regain her composure, but failed. She absentmindedly changed into her bachelor's gown, feeling something strange, and looked down—

"Uncle Li, this dress is made the wrong way around, with the hood on the chest." Liu Jingheng wanted to give the seller a bad review, but then changed her mind and decided, forget it, no one is perfect.

Uncle Li couldn't help laughing, so he took off his clothes and turned him around:

"Why is Jingjing so absent-minded? Is it because graduation is approaching and you have something on your mind?"

Liu Jingheng nodded.

It was a rare moment of inspiration for him, and he sighed in a clumsy way:

"Actually, we're graduating and going our separate ways. I've been so grateful for everyone's care over the years, especially Cheng Yunqing, so I wanted to give him a meaningful graduation gift."

As soon as the three words "Cheng Yunqing" came out, the smile on Uncle Li's face changed from relief to an emotionless fake smile, so he blurted out:

"Just buy some bananas and oranges or something like that as a token of your appreciation."

Liu Jingheng thought seriously, Liu Jingheng stared at——

Uncle Li laughed dryly: "It's not quite appropriate."

Liu Jingheng continued acting:

"Alas... Actually, I have thought of what to give as a gift. I am naturally stupid, and if I don't have Uncle Li's help, I am afraid it will be difficult to accomplish my wish."

After saying this, Uncle Li and Liu Jingheng's eyes lit up.

Uncle Li: I never thought that Jingjing’s image of me would be so majestic.

Liu Jingheng: I didn’t expect that my impromptu performance was more fluent and natural than rote memorization.

"Jing, tell me, uncle, okay." Uncle Li spoke concisely and took charge of everything.

Liu Jingheng revealed her plan in full:

"I want to make a video that's similar to the popular AI face-swapping videos online, replacing the two people kissing intimately with Qin Chuyao and Cheng Yunqing to express my blessing for their relationship."

Uncle Li: ???

No, this kid is really slow-witted. If Cheng Yunqing really received such a big gift, he would just smash the Qin family to pieces.

Uncle Li hesitated for a moment, but finally compromised with Liu Jingheng's starry eyes.

The video was completed quickly, and Uncle Li also picked a landscape picture as the video cover and sent it to Liu Jingheng.

Liu Jingheng was just about to open it.

"Jingjing, are you still not confident in Uncle Li's work?" Uncle Li held his hand and smiled obscenely.

"Don't worry, but I want to see it."

"Don't watch it. You don't know, every time you watch a video, the frame rate will be compressed. If you watch it too much, the video quality will become very blurry. Maybe the AI ​​face-swapping will even lose layers."

When Liu Jingheng heard this, she quickly moved her finger away from the screen.

"Can't look at it, can't drop the layers."

Uncle Li smiled proudly.

Cheng Yunqing, Cheng Yunqing, just wait and enjoy this graduation gift that Uncle Li specially prepared for you~

*

That night, Liu Jingheng remained silent for a long time, staring at the video that she had been hesitant to open. She lowered her fingers several times, but was interrupted in time by Uncle Li's earnest teachings in her mind.

The college group sent another notice:

[Instructor Feng Tong: Dear students of the School of Tourism Management, please rest well and go to bed early today. Meet at the small square promptly at 9:30 AM tomorrow. Don your gowns and hold your hats. Finally, I wish you all a bright future!]

Liu Jingheng was about to reply "Got it, damn teacher" when she suddenly saw the following message pop up:

[Yes, my parents will be coming tomorrow. Please take some photos for us, especially highlighting the words "Jinhai University".]

Not long after it was posted, this message was quickly withdrawn. The student said embarrassedly that he had sent it to the wrong person.

Liu Jingheng raised her eyes, and the following scene emerged in her mind:

Wearing a bachelor's gown and holding a large bouquet of flowers, he was accompanied by his mighty father and gentle mother. The three of them were close to each other, witnessing the beginning of a new life for him.

But my parents' faces were blurred and only a black mass remained.

Liu Jingheng turned over and fell asleep while holding her cell phone.

Mom and Dad, what do you look like?

Puff!

The small bubble of sleep suddenly burst in her head. Liu Jingheng suddenly woke up, her eyes wide open.

Yes, that’s right.

He opened WeChat, found the boss's note, and typed it in:

[Boss, tomorrow is my graduation ceremony, are you coming? ]

【Tomorrow at ten o'clock, are you coming? 】

【Come? 】

【？ 】

At this time, in the study next door.

Uncle Li was just about to take the fruit plate away when he suddenly heard Qin Du's phone ring with a message.

He strode to the door, but instead of leaving in a hurry, he quietly hid behind the door and peeped.

Because Mr. Qin! The moment the message rang! He picked up his phone! He opened WeChat!

As far as Uncle Li knows, there is no one in this world who can make President Qin so impatient and not delay his news for even a second!

If so, the other party is usually not an ordinary person.

Qin Du clicked on the notes of the exclusive WeChat notification tone, and saw another long string of ladder-shaped "questions".

Every time Qin Du saw this ladder shape, he couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, he fell into deep thought again.

A few months ago, he received an invitation from Jinhai University, hoping that he could attend the children's graduation ceremony. As the current head of the country's largest conglomerate, he could give the children some wise words and aphorisms that would play an important role in their lives.

In recent years, Jinhai University has successively absorbed some of the top majors of other colleges and universities, and has become quite majestic. Being able to appear at the graduation ceremonies of such colleges and universities will also have a long-term impact on the Rilon Group.

Qin Du did not refuse, but now seeing the invitation from Liu Jingheng, Qin Du, who never turned back, suddenly thought of this sentence:

"If only Liu Jingheng had told me a month earlier."

Feeling a bit complicated, he could only reply:

Sorry, I don't have time tomorrow.

Liu Jingheng quickly replied:

[Okay. [bitter smile]]

The round soybean kept smiling, but a tear was hanging under one of its eyes.

Qin Du gently stroked the screen, feeling more and more uncomfortable with the emoji expressions.

That night, Qin Du couldn't sleep because of this expression.

*

The next morning, at the breakfast table, Qin Du's eyes were slightly blue, and he was obviously sleep deprived.

Uncle Li waited for him to finish his breakfast and asked cautiously:

"There's still some time until the Jinhai University graduation ceremony begins. I see you seem a little sleep deprived. Would you like to rest a little longer?"

Qin Du glanced at his watch, put down his knife and fork, and wiped the corner of his lips:

"No, I have an appointment with someone else so I'll go there early."

Qin Du put on his suit and just walked to the door when he heard Uncle Li's hurried footsteps.

In the past, he was not very interested in listening to the old man's nonsense, but today, for some unknown reason, he stopped.

"Boss Qin." Uncle Li trotted over, wanting to say something but stopping himself before finally gritting his teeth. "Today is Jingjing's graduation ceremony. If you're also going to Jinhai University, would you mind taking a photo with him, giving him a bouquet of flowers, or something? Graduation is a very important milestone in a university student's life. Newcomers to society really need the care and guidance of their elders."

Qin Du's fingers hanging at the side of his body clenched slightly, and the words he spoke were icy cold:

"His graduation gift is the only important thing in this world?"

Uncle Li smiled apologetically: "They are all important, they are all important."

In fact, in my heart I thought: Qin Du, okay, you can do it.

Qin Du didn't waste any more time talking to him and strode out of the Qin family mansion.

As soon as Qin Du left, Liu Jingheng came down.

He also hadn't slept all night, and there was a similar blue color in his eyes as Qin Du's.

It is said that humans and machines are born with super insensitivity, but he still spent the whole night baking pancakes because of the boss's rejection.

Wearing a bachelor's gown, he sat at the dining table, his face pale and his stomach nauseous.

He knocked his chest hard, trying to swallow the hard-to-swallow abalone porridge.

"Jingjing." Uncle Li felt so distressed when he saw the child in this state that he patted her fur. "It's okay. When I'm done here, I'll go to the school to take photos with you and buy you the biggest and most colorful bouquet of flowers."

Liu Jingheng swallowed the porridge with great effort, revealing a sickly smile:

"Thank you, Uncle Li. You're so kind."

The other side.

The entrance of the world's largest luxury jewelry chain.

Several salesgirls also had dark circles under their eyes, but they were trying hard to maintain a professional smile.

Who on earth is so kind as to force people to wake up at 7 a.m. to go to work? Such a pathetic salary!

At 7:15, Qin Du walked into the jewelry store amidst the uniform greetings of "Good morning, Mr. Qin".

Several salesgirls immediately brought out the store's best items for him to choose from.

Qin Du looked around and sighed softly.

"Any other recommendations?" he asked.

"All the styles in the store are here. Mr. Qin, take a look at this one. Do you like it? This is a new summer product. It is themed with clear and transparent fabrics and is very suitable for mature and steady men like you." The salesgirl said carefully, holding up a bracelet.

Qin Du cleared his throat and lowered his voice:

"If so, give it to a younger boy."

The salesgirl thought she had misheard and asked again.

Qin Du simply let go and said:

"A guy in his early twenties, just graduated."

The salesgirls exchanged a subtle glance, smiled in an ambiguous manner, and then brought out a few simple styles:

"Look at these. The combination of the cross star and the rotating hands is novel, unique, and very fashionable. It's very suitable for young people entering the workforce."

Qin Du picked up the jewelry box and turned it around to examine it carefully.

Finally, he put it down silently without saying a word, and the salesgirl understood what he meant.

The salesgirls were busy all morning, their sweat dripping down their cheeks. This gentleman's taste was truly extraordinary; he'd emptied the store, leaving nothing that caught his eye.

Qin Du picked around and lost interest. He symbolically bought a few items as a reward for the salesgirl's hard work, then stood up and continued to trouble the next customer.

He sat in the car with a serious expression and his sharp brows deeply furrowed.

I should have contacted the designer earlier so that I wouldn't be in a rush when the time came.

Qin Du, who has always been at ease, felt regretful for the first time for not being rigorous enough in his work because of a jewelry gift.

After that, he picked one store after another. Seeing that time was running out, he simply waved his hand and bought all the stores, whether he liked them or not.

*

Half past nine.

Jinhai University is crowded with people.

The graduates in their bachelor's gowns were celebrating the last brilliant dance of their youth. Their families and friends came from all over the country to witness this important moment in their lives.

Liu Jingheng finished taking the college group photo, and the students dispersed freely to take photos with their close friends or family.

Liu Jingheng sat on the grass with his knees hugged, in a daze, waiting for Uncle Li as he had promised him.

I don’t know whether the original owner has been marginalized in the eyes of his classmates in the past four years, or whether he, as a person who temporarily replaced someone else’s identity, has no sense of participation. Almost no classmates took photos with him. He could only hide aside, watching the students holding flowers being the center of attention and enjoying his own glory.

"Liu Jingheng." A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him, bringing a hint of coolness and clarity in the hot summer.

He slowly raised his head, and a cool shadow floated over his head.

Then, he met Cheng Yunqing's gentle and clear smile.

"Finally found you." Cheng Yunqing looked around, suddenly raised his arm, and used the wide sleeves of his bachelor's gown to block Liu Jingheng's head.

"Why don't you go to the shade? The sun is very strong today."

Liu Jingheng shook her head and slowly looked towards the back door.

He didn't remember that Uncle Li was usually so busy.

"Uncle Li and the others didn't come?" Cheng Yunqing asked with ulterior motives.

Liu Jingheng shook her head bluntly.

"Then... Mr. Qin isn't here either."

Liu Jingheng was stunned for a moment, but still shook her head.

How could Mr. Qin come? I am not a very important person to him.

Cheng Yunqing smiled with relief, took his hand and stood up:

"Let's take a photo together and find a quiet place, otherwise Qin Chuyao will come to bother me later."

As he spoke, he held Liu Jingheng's hand tightly:

"Today is such a special day, I don't want anyone to disturb me."

Liu Jingheng: "Okay."

As he was dragged away, he turned his head to look towards the school gate for the last time.

Countless people came in and out, but no special figure was seen.

On the other side, Qin Du and school leaders were walking in the bustling campus. There were many graduates setting up stalls around them, selling second-hand items that they no longer needed after graduation, as well as handmade products carefully made for this special day.

"Representative Qin, the children were so excited when they heard that you would be here in person today to send them your blessings. They are all shouting in the group that they want to take a photo with you." The school leader flattered.

Qin Du nodded absentmindedly, his eyes passing through the small stalls on both sides of the road.

Suddenly, his steps stopped and his eyes fell on two girls on the side of the road.

Five minutes later.

Qin Du took the exquisite packaging box from the girl and said to the school leader:

"Sorry, I have to go to the square first. One of the shareholder's children is also attending the graduation ceremony today. I promised to take a photo with him before."

The school leaders nodded and bowed:

"You go ahead and get busy. Our graduation ceremony will be held in the auditorium behind the Zhixing Building. It will start at 11 o'clock sharp. There will be someone to greet you when you arrive."

Qin Du nodded, took the bouquet from the secretary who accompanied him, and strode towards the small square.

As soon as Qin Du arrived at the small square, sharp-eyed students noticed him and bravely ran over to ask if they could take a photo together.

Among them was the son of his so-called shareholder.

The students surrounded the man in three layers inside and outside.

Qin Du also took photos with each graduate. In between photos, his eyes searched the crowd inconspicuously.

"Hey, Representative Qin, I'm really flattered that you can come to my son's graduation ceremony." The shareholder interrupted Qin Du's gaze, pulled his son away from the students, and asked others to take pictures of them.

Qin Du's expression changed from a gentle smile at the beginning to a slightly stiff expression now.

After the photo session, the son stretched out his hands to Qin Du:

"Thank you, Representative Qin, for the flowers. You spent a lot of money."

Qin Du glanced at the bouquet and said, "It's not expensive."

After leaving behind these ambiguous words, he held the bouquet tightly in his arms as if protecting his cub.

Inuko: ...[hands stopped in mid-air.jpg]

The students wanted to take a photo with him, but when they looked up and saw Qin Du's tense and slightly cold face, they swallowed the words that were on the tip of their tongues.

Qin Du finally got rid of those clueless students and was finally able to search openly.

Suddenly, the vision dimmed.

In the corner of the small square, Liu Jingheng, dressed in a bachelor's gown, stood in front of the teaching building. The sunlight shone down, casting a layer of dazzling and light gold on his body. The midsummer sunshine was accompanied by the hoarse chirping of cicadas. The world was obviously extremely noisy, but where he lived was so quiet that it seemed like another world.

It should have been a very beautiful picture. Even though other students didn't like Liu Jingheng, her appearance, which had been carefully selected by Qin Du, must have been dazzling.

If Cheng Yunqing wasn't there, hugging his waist, holding up her cell phone, and trying to put her cheek against his.

Qin Du's gaze repeatedly drifted across Liu Jingheng's face, which was fakely smiling for the photo.

What a happy smile.

The dog that was once worth four million and the otter with complicated procedures could not win him a sincere smile.

And Cheng Yunqing only needs to raise his cell phone and he will be grinning from ear to ear.

The sunlight, which was almost at noon, abnormally cast a long and narrow shadow under Qin Du's feet.

He took a last look at the bouquet of flowers he had carefully selected, threw it into the trash can, and turned to leave.

Qin Du didn't know what he was upset about. Perhaps it was because after seeing the smiles of Liu Cheng and the others, he finally realized a fact that he was unwilling to admit:

He tried every means to take Liu Jingheng away from Cheng Yunqing, but his excuses were always internship extension and the temptation of the otter. In the final analysis, Liu Jingheng was willing to leave, and not once was it because of him, Qin Du.

…

The cicadas kept chirping, and Liu Jingheng looked towards the school gate for the umpteenth time.

Cheng Yunqing next to them was admiring their photos one by one.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded beside my ears, and a man's voice came:

"Student Liu Jingheng?"

Liu Jingheng looked up and fell silent.

Looks familiar, but I can't remember who it is.

"It's me, don't you remember me?" The man pointed to his face.

Liu Jingheng: Is this some kind of “it’s me, it’s me” scam?

"I'm Mr. Qin's secretary." The man was convinced. What a goldfish memory.

Liu Jingheng: "Oh."

He didn't even remember the other party's introduction.

The midsummer sun only tortures ordinary people. Although they both wore suits and ties, Qin Du looked refreshed wherever he went, as if a small air conditioner was installed in his clothes. The secretary was in a terrible situation, as his thin shirt was soaked through, exposing his nipples.

He couldn't stand the heat, so he took off his coat and put it aside. He also took out his cell phone from his pocket and placed it on the statue to cool it down.

"Have you seen Mr. Qin? I've been looking for him for a long time, and his cell phone is here with me." The secretary licked his lips and said.

Liu Jingheng shook her head: "No."

"Didn't he look for you?" the secretary asked again.

Liu Jingheng was puzzled: "Why are you looking for me?"

After realizing it, his eyes became alert: "I should... have done nothing wrong..."

The secretary was really convinced. Could it be that Liu Jingheng was really a machine?

"The school leaders asked me to find someone. The ceremony is about to begin." The secretary looked around. "I'll go first. Also, I wish you a happy graduation and a bright future."

After saying this, the secretary ran away in a hurry.

Liu Jingheng scratched her head and looked at Cheng Yunqing: "Why did Mr. Qin come to me?"

Cheng Yunqing came back to his senses and smiled unnaturally:

"Maybe the secretary misunderstood. He's so busy, how could he have time to look for you?"

Liu Jingheng nodded, feeling tired, and sat in the sculpture's arms to rest for a while.

As soon as I landed, something hard hit my butt.

When I stood up, I saw that it was the secretary who had left her coat and cell phone there.

Liu Jingheng picked up her coat and cell phone and looked into the distance, but there was no sign of her secretary.

Just when he was at a loss, the squad leader came running over and shouted:

"Liu Jingheng, gather at the college lobby right now. The instructor has something to notify you about!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yunqing took Liu Jingheng's hand and shook it:

"I also have to go to the auditorium to prepare for my speech. See you later."

Liu Jingheng nodded and went to the college lobby with the secretary's clothes and cell phone.

When we arrived, the students of the college were already gathered.

The counselor said succinctly, "The auditorium isn't big enough to accommodate so many people, so we've only selected a few students from top majors to fill the room. We can just watch the graduation ceremony live at the academy."

The students were unhappy: "We all worked hard to get in, and now this happens after graduation..."

"Don't be sad, students. The teacher has prepared snacks and drinks for you. We can sit here comfortably with the air conditioning and eat and drink at the same time~" The counselor tried his best to calm the students' emotions.

After all, children are simple-minded. When they heard that there was food and drink, their pig cravings came back and they sat there groaning.

Liu Jingheng: What about my grand plan...?

Proceed as usual.

Things are different now. The communication power of the Internet is no longer what it used to be. If hundreds of students in the School of Tourism post a Weibo, it can easily become a hot topic.

If Liu Jingheng wasn't smart, he still knew to follow the instructor to the control room. After the instructor had finished adjusting the auditorium broadcast, he was busy trying to calm the students down.

Liu Jingheng flashed out from behind the door and clenched his fist firmly:

I am a cunning cannon fodder, ready for the last time, to decide the outcome in one round.

He also knew that he was a thief, so he pretended to look around and then tiptoed into the control room.

Liu Jingheng opened the phone screen and entered the digital password.

The phone buzzed, and the password was cleared. The input was wrong.

Liu Jingheng scratched his head and tried again, but it was still wrong.

Who changed my password?

He remembered that the original owner's cell phone password was related to Christmas, and the original owner's birthday was the same as his, both on Christmas Day.

Liu Jingheng suddenly couldn't remember. Was my birthday really on Christmas? Or was it Christmas Eve?

He tried changing the last digit to "4" and the phone was unlocked successfully.

Liu Jingheng: Hey, look at my memory.

In order to ensure that the plan proceeds smoothly, he has practiced the Bluetooth connection of the device many times at home, and the Bluetooth password of the college's computer is posted on the computer to facilitate use by multiple people.

Liu Jingheng nodded.

No matter how the process changes, the ending will generally follow the original novel.
