A scene from Chapter 22



The perspective on the problem then changes.

There's a common scene on TV where rich kids never eat out because they think it's unclean, with additives and gutter oil.

"If Zhou Yi is rich, then his bringing his own lunchbox can't be to save money..."

"Yes! I have to go and see!" Hao Min wanted to see what was in Zhou Yi's lunchbox. If it contained salmon, crab, or Australian lobster, then she could confirm Zhou Yi's identity.

If Zhou Yi's identity is confirmed, then she can hedge her bets and try to use her connections with Zhou Yi to get into the Zhou Group.

Regardless of who is real and who is fake, she will be able to smoothly enter the Zhou Group.

Hao Min was afraid that if she returned to the classroom late, she wouldn't see what Zhou Yi had eaten, so she quickly went upstairs.

Suddenly—

As she passed the stairs, she caught a glimpse of a figure walking towards the rooftop out of the corner of her eye. Without giving it much thought, she quickly returned to the classroom.

Upon entering, the classroom was completely empty.

Is Zhou Yi not here?

"That's strange... He usually eats in the classroom."

Suddenly, she remembered something and quickly walked towards the rooftop.

If Zhou Yi were on the rooftop, that would be even better; she could ask him privately about what happened yesterday.

If Zhou Yi really is the young master of the Zhou family... Thinking of this, Hao Min's heart skipped a beat. If she believed him when no one else believed that Zhou Yi was the young master...

When the time comes, it will be a piece of cake for me to ask Zhou Yi for help to get into the Zhou Group.

Perhaps, she'll be able to take advantage of her proximity to the source.

"Zhou Yi, give me ten invitations to the Zhou family celebration."

Are there still people on the rooftop?

Hao Min recognized Su Qingjiao's voice. Su Qingjiao's voice was easy to identify; it always had a commanding tone that was high and mighty, with a slightly affected, coquettish quality.

Hao Min quietly hid around the corner, pressing her ear against the wall to listen to their conversation.

"Oh? Why should I give it to you?" Zhou Yi said coldly, his eyes completely devoid of any 'love' for Su Qingjiao.

In the past three years, Su Qingjiao had never been treated so coldly by Zhou Yi. She immediately glared at him and said "you" but when she saw that Zhou Yi was unmoved, her tone softened.

"you--"

"If you give me ten invitations, I'll forgive you for ignoring me today. Otherwise, I won't go back with you tonight, and begging won't help!"

She won't forgive Zhou Yi for hitting her yesterday so easily.

At most, I'll forgive him for not greeting me this morning and for changing seats!

Su Qingjiao turned her face away, waiting for Zhou Yi to coax her.

Who knew, a minute had passed.

Zhou Yi also made no move.

Su Qingjiao looked at Zhou Yi with a puzzled expression, only to see him standing with his arms crossed, looking at her with a mocking gaze.

Su Qingjiao immediately snapped at Zhou Yi like a cat with its fur standing on end, "Zhou Yi, what do you mean? What kind of look is that! Do you think I want to ride back with you? It was you who wanted to stay with me longer and begged me to get in the car."

"Let me tell you, I have my pride too. I will never forgive you for what you did to me yesterday. I'll give you one chance to apologize at most!"

"The opportunity is right in front of you. If you don't give me an invitation, I won't go."

Su Qingjiao had been watching Zhou Yi's expression closely, and she noticed that Zhou Yi hesitated slightly after she finished speaking.

Su Qingjiao breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems I was overthinking things. Zhou Yi appeared to want to ignore her, but his expression betrayed him; he still cared about her deep down.

As Su Qingjiao thought this, the expression on her face softened considerably.

The reason Zhou Yi was deep in thought just now was because he carefully recalled some events that happened at the banquet in his previous life.

He hadn't paid attention to this banquet in his previous life, and Aunt Zhou didn't attend either because she didn't get along with Su Qingjiao.

At this crucial juncture in her past life, Su Qingjiao used this banquet to get to know many of Zhou's middle and senior management. During the banquet, Su Qingjiao also helped a person who was the least noticeable at the banquet.

At that time, this person was just an inconspicuous junior manager at the banquet, but two years later, no one would have thought that he would become the second most influential person in the Zhou Group after Su Qingjiao.

This person helped Su Qingjiao through several difficult times, which is enough to show how capable he is.

After graduation, Zhou Yi will take over the Zhou Group. If the other party can help Su Qingjiao secure her position as president, is there a chance for her to be used by him?

Unfortunately, in his previous life, he didn't care about Su Qingjiao's every move. He only wanted to please Su Qingjiao to save his grandmother. As for this person's name, Zhou Yi couldn't remember it for a while.

Zhou Yi looked up at Su Qingjiao and thought to himself that Su Qingjiao really had the luck of a leading lady, and keeping her by his side would be useful.

He vaguely remembered that under his boundless pampering, Su Qingjiao seemed to have gathered several talented people around her.

Zhou Yi looked at Su Qingjiao and smiled slowly. Didn't she want to show off with her classmates at last year's ceremony? Well, let's see if this is the place for her to show off, or the place where her true identity is exposed!

Zhou Yi smiled warmly: "Sure, I'll give you ten invitations. Not only that, I'll also prepare a big surprise for you at the annual ceremony."

It will surprise you so much you'll cry, and send you straight to hell!

"Alright, you can go now. I'll call and let them know later."

Su Qingjiao's face stiffened; Zhou Yi had actually told her to leave.

Although she was angry, she couldn't leave yet; she hadn't found out the most important thing.

Su Qingjiao took a deep breath. The wind from the rooftop rushed into her stomach, calming her anger somewhat. She barely managed to suppress her rage and tentatively asked:

"That's more like it. I'll forgive you for what happened today. I'll allow you to ride back with me. By the way, I usually attend banquets in your place."

Will you participate this time?

Zhou Yi didn't answer directly, but instead asked nonchalantly, "What do you think? Do you think I would go against my grandmother's wishes and attend such a big event?"

Hearing Zhou Yi say that, Su Qingjiao breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems Zhou Yi still won't go.

Having gotten what she wanted, Su Qingjiao didn't care what Zhou Yi was still doing on the rooftop. She didn't even bother to say a word to him and turned to walk downstairs.

Seeing Su Qingjiao walking towards them, Hao Min, who was hiding around the corner, quickly tiptoed back to the classroom.

Sitting in the classroom, she still looked surprised, her heart pounding. She never expected that she had overheard such an important matter.

Zhou Yi really is the young master of the Zhou Group!

The whole class, no!

The entire college was kept in the dark.

Now she knows the truth...

She felt like a windfall had fallen from the sky and landed squarely on her.
