Chapter 123: Two Minutes on the Hot Search
The second day, English Class 1 had a full day of classes.
Xu Yihuan slept until 10 a.m., then got up, ate breakfast, and put on makeup and tidied herself up.
I took a taxi to the press conference venue at 12:40 sharp.
When I arrived, it was just past 1:40.
This collaboration represents an unprecedented step forward for the Jiang family.
Therefore, many news media outlets visited the site.
Xu Yihuan rushed backstage amidst the crowd.
The press conference didn't officially begin until 2:00 PM.
At the Pei family residence, Pei Yi'an carried several jugs of decanted red wine downstairs and walked up to Pei Yuli.
"Come on, Ali, help Mom decide which red wine to use for her birthday party in a few days."
As Pei Yi'an spoke, she poured the red wine in her hand into several wine glasses.
Then they were placed one by one in front of Pei Yuli.
Pei Yuli obediently began to taste it.
While Pei Yuli was tasting the food, Pei Yi'an found the lack of background noise too quiet, so she turned on the TV.
I habitually switched to the financial channel.
Soon, the reporter's voice came from the television.
Today, the Jiang Group and a company from Country A signed an agreement and held a press conference.
There are widespread rumors that Jiang Zemin will take a big step forward in a new field in the future.
Let's see what's being said on site.
The camera quickly switched to the press conference venue.
A long table, with both sides sitting face to face, both wearing official and benevolent smiles.
Only the young girl sitting in the corner, whose nameplate read "translator," had a tense expression throughout.
But just being able to appear among a group of grown men is attractive enough.
Pei Yi'an's gaze lingered on that spot, and her hand, which was about to change the channel, paused the moment she saw the girl's face clearly.
"Huanhuan?"
Seeing this scene, Pei Yi'an suddenly remembered her encounter with Tang Wanhua a couple of days ago and immediately realized what had happened.
Upon hearing this, Pei Yuli abruptly stopped in his tracks, his hand gripping the tablet as he looked at the documents.
I looked up and saw that familiar face.
Is it really Xu Yihuan?
I don't know what I realized.
Pei Yuli turned to look at his mother, a sigh of relief rising in his heart.
His voice held a hint of probing: "Are you very familiar with me?"
Pei Yi'an wore a genuine smile and, upon hearing Pei Yuli's words, didn't notice anything amiss, expressing her affection without reservation.
"Yes, I met her once at an event at Peking University. She's a very obedient girl."
"She's quite outstanding; even someone as picky as Tang Wanhua is willing to mentor her."
"I was even planning to invite her to my birthday party."
When Xu Yihuan was mentioned, Pei Yi'an couldn't help but start muttering to herself.
Pei Yuli fell silent instead.
Inviting Xu Yihuan to the birthday party... if Grandpa finds out, he probably won't agree...
Without realizing it, he picked up the wine on the table and started drinking.
One bite at a time.
Pei Yi'an only realized something was wrong when a row of empty cups appeared on the table.
"Pei Yuli, what are you doing? Is there any way you can drink like that?" Pei Yi'an scolded, but her voice was even more cheerful than when she had just come down.
Pei Yuli snapped out of his daze and looked at his mother helplessly, "It wasn't Mom... I..."
As the mother and son chatted and laughed, no one noticed that two related terms had quietly climbed to the top of the trending searches.
[Xu Yihuan and Pei Yi'an's appearance.]
[The relationship between Xu Yihuan and Pei Yi'an.]
I wonder which netizen was watching both the finance channel and the government affairs channel.
They noticed this "coincidence" with keen eyes and made it a trending topic.
Unfortunately, this topic didn't stay on the trending topics list for long.
Two minutes later, it died silently again.
On the other side, inside the Pei Building.
Pei Yanzhi sat in his office chair.
The computer in front of me was on, but it wasn't displaying any important official business; instead, it was showing a live broadcast.
The assistant knocked and came in.
"President Pei, the trending topics have been purchased as you requested."
"I've already bought the two trending topics."
"But it doesn't seem to be working well; the two trending topics didn't stay on for long before being pushed down by other new trending topics."
Upon hearing this, Pei Yanzhi opened Weibo and took a look.
The last two entries are newly added.
One is a student in the Department of Foreign Languages at Peking University.
Another is that [Kyoto University will soon have a new beautiful translator.]
Looking at the content of the two trending search terms.
Pei Yanzhi leaned back in his chair and sneered.
These elderly people who don't know how to use the internet are really interesting.
In their haste, they forgot they could use popular actresses to suppress trending topics, and the search terms would come up with their own.
Moreover, even if they manage to get Xu Yihuan trending on social media, they're unwilling to allocate a single topic to the Jiang family.
Pei Yanzhi took off his gold-rimmed glasses and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
It's quite obvious that she's in a good mood.
"Okay, it's alright, you can go now."
The assistant replied "okay" and turned to leave.
The trending topic only stayed on Weibo for two minutes.
In addition, neither of them are public figures.
Therefore, not many people noticed this.
Aside from Grandpa Pei, who hurriedly removed the trending topic.
After finishing her translation work, Xu Yihuan also attended the Jiang Group's celebration banquet at the end of the day.
Meanwhile, at the school, interviews for student organizations and departments will begin today and will be conducted gradually.
The Foreign Language Association is a department within the school, and even the interviews are conducted in a large classroom like 2301A.
Such large classrooms are usually used when three classes are having a lesson together.
At this moment, several presidents of the Foreign Language Association were sitting in the audience. They stood on the stage, gave a few casual introductions, and then began the interviews.
Tan Zhixu held the interview form and sat in a corner by the back door.
He tilted his head, his eyes coldly watching one person after another go up.
After looking for a long time, Xu Yihuan was nowhere to be seen.
If I remember correctly, wasn't Xu Yihuan's matter resolved yesterday?
Or has Xu Yihuan forgotten?
Tan Zhixu sat with an air of nonchalance, placed his phone between his legs, and typed slowly and deliberately.
Aren't you coming for an interview today?
"Yeah, there's still a victory celebration party today, I can't make it."
She had talked to Tang Wanhua about the interview, but Tang Wanhua didn't say much, only that she would take care of it.
With the idea that she might as well take advantage of the opportunity, Xu Yihuan eventually went to the celebration banquet.
Tan Zhixu replied after reading Xu Yihuan's words.
He leaned back against the chair.
So you're not going in?
If you don't come in, I'm going back to my dorm now.
Anyway, he wasn't interested in any of these things; his only interest was Xu Yihuan.
Fortunately, Xu Yihuan replied to the message not long after.
"Go for it! Teacher Tang said she'd pull some strings for me, I reckon she'll give me another interview?"
Tan Zhixu never doubted Xu Yihuan's abilities.
Upon seeing the news, Tan Zhixu didn't say much and went straight to the stage to begin his presentation entirely in English.
On the other side, in a corner near the wall.
Jiang Jinnan leaned against the wall.
His gaze was fixed on the phone screen, revealing no emotion.
That was a photo Jiang Tingbai sent him yesterday.
There's one more thing.
Brother, Sister Huanhuan is so gentle!
[I forgot to tell you, Huanhuan is also handling this business deal for our family. She's amazing!]
Jiang Jinnan's grip on his phone tightened, and his gaze toward the screen turned sinister.
Looking around, I didn't see the person I wanted to see.
Jiang Jinnan leaned back in his chair and took a deep breath.
It continued until everyone present had left.
Jiang Jinnan did not wait for Xu Yihuan to come.
"Excuse me, do you still need to have an interview?"
The president, holding a stack of interview forms, stood up and asked Jiang Jinnan.
Jiang Jinnan didn't say anything, but stood up straight and turned to leave.
