Chapter 55 I Still Want You to Be the Dean

The meeting soon moved on to Zhou Cheng's speech part. He did not show much emotion before going on stage. He even thought of a competition in junior high school. Because he had a blank expression and did not speak before going on stage, the teacher thought he was nervous and encouraged him to treat the people in the audience as his students. Zhou Cheng still did not speak at that time, but he really wanted to tell the teacher that the people in the audience were his students who were learning from him.

Now he is just as conceited as ever.

There were all kinds of experts and professors with gray hair before, and the sudden appearance of a young man was really eye-catching.

At the beginning of the speech, everyone thought that this young man was just an embroidered pillow to relieve visual fatigue, but gradually they felt something was wrong, and some people even began to signal their assistants to ask the organizer for the speech slides.

Su Qingyan looked at Zhou Cheng calmly. While others were taking pictures of the various analytical data on the screen, he was the only one concentrating on taking pictures of Zhou Cheng. Then he posted a short video of Zhou Cheng giving a speech on the stage on his WeChat Moments, which was set in Los Angeles.

After Zhou Cheng stepped down from the stage, the whole audience applauded. Li Yu looked at Zhou Cheng with a look of satisfaction as he walked over and sat next to him.

"good."

Zhou Cheng whispered thank you. It was really not easy to receive praise from Director Li Yu.

"You shouldn't just say thank you, you should say thank you teacher for your cultivation." Su Qingyan whispered in his ear.

Zhou Cheng pursed his lips and hesitated for a long time but still couldn't say it.

"Director Li, Zhou Cheng told me last night that although he's very busy in the clinic right now, he'd really like to work on your project."

Zhou Cheng looked at Su Qingyan in disbelief. When had he mentioned this yesterday? It seemed like they were only researching one thing yesterday.

"Xiao Zhou is indeed very busy on the front line now. I will make some adjustments when I get back." Li Yu said while nodding.

Su Qingyan secretly gave Director Li a thumbs up. He understood it immediately, otherwise he would be the director.

After listening to their conversation, Zhou Cheng finally understood the doubts he had harbored in his heart. Sure enough, this quota wasn't just given out casually. He didn't say anything, though; he simply remained more silent than usual.

After the meeting, Su Qingyan followed them back to the hotel, feeling Zhou Cheng's low pressure the whole time.

"Do you think I can feel your emotional fluctuations?" After entering the room, Su Qingyan closed the door and asked Zhou Cheng.

"What?" Zhou Cheng unbuttoned his cufflinks and collar pin and carefully put them back into the box.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't hold it in, okay?" Su Qingyan was a little discouraged, not knowing what Zhou Cheng was up to again.

"It's okay." Zhou Cheng took off his suit and shirt, hung them up carefully, then turned around and rubbed Su Qingyan's head.

"You..." Su Qingyan felt like she was going to have a heart attack because of him, "Are you upset because I gave you an extra spot?"

Zhou Cheng paused, he didn't expect Su Qingyan to speak so directly.

"Zhou Cheng, if you are not good enough, no matter how many places I add, it will not be your turn. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, aren't they?" Su Qingyan bit her lip after saying this.

In fact, most of the time he didn't understand Zhou Cheng. He was not happy about the opportunity he had worked so hard to get for him, but instead felt that he had done something wrong.

But if there is a shortcut, why not take it?

There is no fairness in this world. How can a car run if there is only a perfect engine and no other parts?

"I'm not upset." Zhou Cheng reached out and hugged Su Qingyan, "I'm just... not used to it. I used to be alone, and now suddenly someone helps me..."

"If I don't help you, who else can I help? I still want you to be the dean." Su Qingyan rolled her eyes at Zhou Cheng. She could only be direct in order to pry out the inner thoughts of this taciturn man. He would pretend to be stupid and hold back any tactful words.

"Stop joking. Don't talk nonsense. I know my level." Zhou Cheng became serious again.

"Okay, let's put aside our grudges and smile when we meet." Seeing him like this, Su Qingyan quickly ended the topic and went to untie Zhou Cheng's belt.

"There is no hatred, there is no hatred." Zhou Cheng felt that Su Qingyan was sometimes innocent and cute, and sometimes really a sophisticated person.

"Is there no grudge? Why are you so fierce? I'm risking my life for a gentleman, okay?" Su Qingyan patted Zhou Cheng's chest angrily, looked at his red skin and bit his mouth in dissatisfaction. "Aren't you a good student? Why do you always fail?"

"I failed?" Zhou Cheng felt that this sentence was really insulting.

Su Qingyan immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing. The three words "fail" should never be used casually to describe a top student. Trampling on his sensitive self-esteem would not end well.

"Teacher Zhou, are you hungry? I'll go out and get something to eat." Su Qingyan really wanted to slip away now.

"I'm hungry."

Zhou Cheng stopped Su Qingyan who was trying to run away by the waist, picked him up with his arms, walked to the bed, and handcuffed him to the headboard, his movements smooth and seamless.

"Where did you get this from?" Su Qingyan looked at the rose-gold handcuffs and was in tears.

On the third day of the meeting, Su Qingyan wanted to take Zhou Cheng out for a ride to skip class, but Zhou Cheng refused sternly. He had no choice but to sit in the meeting room and be a good student with perfect attendance.

Fortunately, they were not absent.

After comprehensive evaluation, the organizers selected several papers and awarded several awards, and Zhou Cheng was also on the list.

When Zhou Cheng heard the host read out his name, he looked at Su Qingyan in a daze.

"Are you stupid? I don't have that ability. Come on up." Su Qingyan rolled his eyes at him again and continued to rub his wrist which was still painful.
