Li Zhi felt uneasy under his malicious gaze and gritted his teeth, saying, "Screw you, spit it out!"

"Is Zhao Qingqing also going to get work?"

"Look at your foul mouth. What do you mean by taking on jobs? That's called working while studying and gaining social experience."

"It's all the same thing, you failed to persuade them, didn't you?"

"How could that be? I only agreed because I didn't want to see her cry. I'll go with her!"

"You're planning to go on stage and dance too? You'll look like a maggot when you start to move, is that okay?"

"This is also a student council activity, can't I do the logistics?"

Li Zhi is stubborn as a mule; he simply refuses to admit that he couldn't persuade her to stay.

However, Su Wu felt there was no need to offer any advice.

Dating isn't about being a babysitter; there's no need to interfere in everything.

Moreover, this is a time when they need to be tempered, and it's a good thing that these girls are ambitious.

As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, the three of them looked at Su Wu with ill intent.

Su Wu shuddered. "What do you mean?"

Li Zhi said smugly, "We're all going, and you have to go too. I've signed you up, but of course we won't get paid."

"Damn it, I'm not going, I don't have time," Su Wu immediately refused.

He didn't expect that his roommates had already made arrangements for him.

This arrogance must not be allowed to grow; it must be nipped in the bud.

To everyone's surprise, Li Zhi said in a serious tone, "Third brother, are you even a man? You don't care about Anna's safety at all. Besides, are you comfortable letting several girls go out to perform? Can you bear to do that? You..."

He put on an expression as if Su Wu would be a beast and a scumbag if he didn't go.

Su Wu sighed helplessly and said with a wry smile, "Fine, fine. I'll go, okay? Just stop making me feel uncomfortable."

During our college years, aside from going out to eat alone, everyone's favorite thing was group activities.

Seeing the look in the three men's eyes that said they would drag him down with them even if it meant death, Su Wu gave in.

Li Zhi nodded in satisfaction when he saw that he was finally willing to act as the protector of the flower.

"That's more like it! You're not at a disadvantage. This time, they're performing at the Sihai International Hotel, one of the most upscale hotels in Tianjin. The food and drinks will be top-notch!"

Sihai International Hotel?

Su Wu raised an eyebrow upon hearing the name of the performance venue.

He's very sensitive to the phrase "all over the world" now, and immediately makes connections to it.

The Sihai International Hotel is clearly Zhao Sihai's property; he vaguely remembers it.

He couldn't help but ask, "Who's the organizer? What kind of event is it?"

"Hehe, you'd never guess. According to Senior Mai Ying, this is Zhao Sihai's birthday banquet, the owner of Sihai International Hotel. It's a rare and grand occasion."

"Zhao Sihai is having a song and dance performance for his birthday?"

"Yes, I heard it's held every year, and you even get a red envelope after the performance. Senior Mai Ying said she participated once, and not only did she eat well and have a great time, but she also got a 1,000 yuan red envelope!"

Li Zhi spoke with great enthusiasm, as if it were a serious matter.

Su Wu nodded secretly upon hearing this, thinking to himself that rich people really know how to have fun.

He never imagined that people would start doing this kind of thing these days; poverty really did limit his imagination.

However, it's clear that Zhao Sihai hasn't reached the point of starting a Sihai Song and Dance Troupe yet, otherwise he wouldn't need to hire temporary workers every year.

For a college student, someone like Zhao Sihai is an extremely rare and important figure.

You can imagine how grand his birthday banquet was.

For many young people, such a scene is something they may never experience in their entire lives.

Such an opportunity is rare and truly a great chance to broaden one's horizons.

But Su Wu felt something was off, something was not quite right.

This is too much of a coincidence.

He and Zhao Sihai have almost reached the point of irreconcilable conflict.

The fact that this happened at this particular time inevitably raises questions.

However, the arts and culture department receives countless performance opportunities every year; who can say it's not a coincidence?

Su Wu was a little confused, but Li Zhi continued to explain things to everyone.

"Let me tell you, this Zhao Sihai is known as Master Si, and he is a very important figure in Tianjin."

"It is said that this birthday banquet is quite special. No outsiders are invited; it's just their own employees, a company-wide gathering."

"At that time, you'll have all kinds of delicacies, as much as you want, and there will be non-stop exciting entertainment..."

"If it weren't for the prestige of our Nanjing University, would those amateur dance enthusiasts even be worthy of performing on stage? Don't be ridiculous."

As he talked, Li Zhi started complaining about his girlfriends again.

Clearly, despite his eloquent words, he didn't really want Zhao Qingqing to appear in public.

Listening to his explanation, Su Wu gained a certain understanding of Zhao Sihai's birthday banquet.

However, he felt that the more private the gathering, the more shady things were going on.

He couldn't help but ask, "When that senior was leading the team, didn't she say anything else, like, was there anything fishy going on?"

"No, she said that after the performance, it's all about eating, drinking, and having fun, and that if you don't have a boyfriend, you might even meet a rich husband."

Li Zhi thought about it and felt that there was nothing missing, so he answered truthfully.

A rich and handsome son-in-law?

Su Wu's heart stirred upon hearing this.

Such an obvious hint is probably one of the key points of Mai Ying's topic.

Sihai Real Estate is a leading company in Tianjin, and its scale is considerable.

Those who could attend Zhao Sihai's birthday banquet were undoubtedly elite figures from Sihai Real Estate.

These men are indeed eligible bachelors, but their ages are another matter.

Zhao Sihai is almost sixty years old, and his elite subordinates are either in their thirties or forties.

For someone their age to be looking for a rich husband among this group of people, they'd probably only end up with an old bastard.

This senior, Mai Ying, seems to be quite something.

A senior student about to graduate usually has rather complicated thoughts.

Thinking to himself, he couldn't help but ask, "Boss, this senior Mai Ying must be pretty. Does she have a boyfriend?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi chuckled awkwardly.

"The senior's looks are only average, not as good as our girlfriends. But she has a great figure, with a voluptuous chest and ample hips, truly a sight to behold..."

"Qingqing and the others really can't compare; they're underdeveloped. And Senior Maiying is clearly developed to the extreme; she's a total heartbreaker. How could she not have a boyfriend?"

"It's said that her boyfriend is a young executive at Sihai Real Estate. Otherwise, how would our student union have had the opportunity to arrange a 10-person street dance performance?"

Su Wu finally understood by now.

He didn't know if there was anything fishy going on, but it was definitely necessary to go.

In case any sexual harassment or similar incidents occur during this period, it will be easier to deal with them promptly to prevent a tragedy.
