Pleasant times always pass too quickly, and the annual meeting came to an end soon.
Lin Qingying felt she had talked enough with Xie Wei today, so she left with a wink, saying, "Third Brother, see you another day," and Ye Yan also left.
Xie Wei smiled helplessly at the girl's actions, wondering what she was up to. However, it seemed the chosen one and the predetermined heroine were getting along quite well, so Xie Wei didn't think much of it. Xu Daiwei, on the other hand, was quite angry. She felt that Lin Qingying was provoking her, but she had no evidence.
The news that Xie Wei was the person behind Qi Yuan spread throughout the capital overnight. As Xie Wei had predicted, people shifted their attention from Xu Daiwei to Xie Wei and the Xie family.
In the municipal government office in the capital, a woman was working on documents when she saw Xie Wei's face on a news report on her phone. Her pen slipped from her grasp and fell to the floor. After a long silence, she picked it up and continued working on her documents as if nothing had happened.
Meanwhile, in a luxury mansion in the capital, a girl was watching a television report on Qiyuan's annual meeting. When she saw Xie Wei appear as the president, the girl's face lit up with surprise, and she said, "I knew Xingzhi was the best."
She immediately took out her phone and dialed someone's number. They seemed to be discussing something, and all she could hear was something like "delay" or "concert." However, judging from the girl's expression, the person on the other end seemed to have rejected her request. The girl's expression was as sad as withered grass.
The next morning, Xie Wei received a message from his grandfather asking him to come to the old house. Xie Wei was confused, but he could only follow his grandfather's instructions and go to the Xie family's old house.
Upon entering the main hall, Xie Wei found two elderly men drinking tea and playing chess. One was Old Master Xie, and the other was Old Master Su. The two were locked in a tense game, and from a distance, it seemed that his grandfather was about to lose.
Upon seeing Xie Wei's arrival, Old Master Xie seemed to have seen a savior and quickly said, "I'll stop playing now. My grandson is back. Let's talk business." After saying that, he put down the black chess piece in his hand.
Grandpa Su, standing to the side, was so angry at this that he glared and puffed out his beard. "Old ghost Xie, you're so old and you're still cheating? Don't you have any shame left?!"
Grandpa Xie waved his hand. "What do you mean by 'cheating'? You had something to tell my grandson, and I was just looking out for you. How did it become my fault?"
The old man of the Su family was so angry that he was speechless.
Seeing that the topic had shifted to him, Xie Wei bowed slightly and said, "Grandpa Su, it's been a long time."
The old man of the Su family smiled and said to Xie Wei, "It has indeed been a long time. You are still so sensible, unlike your grandfather." After saying that, he glanced at Xie Wei's grandfather's reaction.
The Xie family patriarch seemed not to have heard what the Su family patriarch said, and continued drinking his tea, looking at the Su family patriarch as if to say, "You continue."
"Never mind, I'm here to discuss something with Xie Wei anyway," the old man of the Su family waved his hand dismissively, ignoring Xie Wei's shameless expression.
"Looking for me?" Xie Wei didn't expect that the old man of the Su family had come to find him. "If there's anything I can do to help you, Grandpa Su, please just say so."
"Hahaha," Grandpa Su laughed heartily, patting Xie Wei on the shoulder. "I love your straightforward personality."
"It's really nothing big. We just want you, as the founder of Qiyuan, to go to Beijing University and share your experience with the students of the School of Finance."
A small portion of the reclusive Su family has entered politics, while the majority are dedicated to education. Take the family patriarch, Old Master Su, for example; he is not only the director of the Beijing Municipal Education Bureau but also the president of Beijing University. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that his influence extends far and wide. Therefore, it's not wrong to say that the Su family is essentially composed of government officials.
The Su family used this opportunity to engage with the real world, and their establishment as a reclusive family relied on the vast network of relationships they built through this connection. The world only knew that those in high positions in education were surnamed Su, but no one could uncover anything more about them.
The Su family patriarch wanted Xie Wei to teach classes to students at the School of Finance, Imperial University. After thinking about it for a moment, Xie Wei agreed.
The old master of the Su family left satisfied with Xie Wei's promise.
"Do you know why Old Master Su wanted you to enter Imperial University?" After Old Master Su left, Old Master Xie stared at the unfinished chess game and asked.
"Isn't it that engagement that Grandma mentioned a few days ago, asking me to meet the other party, right?" Xie Wei took a sip of tea, stood up and straightened his clothes. "After all, Grandpa Su came in person."
With Xie Wei's intelligence, he naturally understood the purpose of the Su family patriarch's personal invitation to the younger generation. It was not only for the students' studies, but also to allow him to get to know the younger generation of the Su family. Xie Wei felt it was harmless, so he agreed.
Xie Wei walked towards the chessboard, picked up a black piece and placed it on the board, yawned, and said, "Going home to catch up on sleep. Say hello to Grandma for me. I'm leaving now."
After listening to Xie Wei's words, Old Master Xie looked at the spot where Xie Wei had just placed the piece and then at Xie Wei as he left. He smiled faintly and said, "That brat. Well, I'm getting old. The rest of the work should be left to the young people to handle."
As expected, the old master of the Su family valued this matter highly. He sent Xie Wei an invitation letter in the afternoon, fulfilling Xie Wei's promise made in the morning.
Xu Daiwei looked at the letter of appointment in Xie Wei's hand, her eyes sparkling. "Brother is so amazing! Even the Imperial University wants to invite you to teach a course."
Xie Wei couldn't talk to this girl about the Su family, so he could only pat Xu Daiwei's head and smile to let it go.
"Xiao Wei, while I'm giving a lecture at the Imperial University, and the aristocratic families are all focused on me, I'll leave the matter of the beauty cream to you," Xie Wei instructed Xu Daiwei.
"Huh? Brother, you agreed to go?" Xu Daiwei was puzzled. Given Xie Wei's incredibly lazy personality, he shouldn't have gotten involved in such matters. Xie Wei's unusual behavior aroused Xu Daiwei's curiosity.
Xie Wei walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the bustling streets of the capital, and slowly said, "The appearance of the beauty cream will definitely threaten the interests of some people in the capital. Who knows what stupid things they might do."
“Their attention is all on me right now. If I go to teach at the Imperial University, I can buy you some time.” Xie Wei agreed to Su’s request because he had considered this point. Xu Daiwei had only just taken on the role of person in charge and still had a lot to get used to. There wasn’t much Xie Wei could do, so he could only try to do what he could.
Xu Daiwei was surprised that the reason was for her. Her lips curved into a smile, and she looked stunning. She couldn't help but run over and kiss Xie Wei on the cheek.
Xie Wei was taken aback by Xu Daiwei's sudden attack. Ever since Xie Wei and Xu Daiwei returned to China, their relationship had been exactly as Xu Daiwei had described—a brother-sister dynamic. If it weren't for this unexpected attack, Xie Wei would have forgotten that this little girl was also lusting after him.
Xie Wei was completely bewildered and had no choice but to make an excuse and flee in a sorry state. Xu Daiwei secretly chuckled at Xie Wei's cuteness in the office.
