Chapter 668: He's a big shot! (Three chapters combined)
After ordering, Zhang Wanlong looked at Chu Yan, nodded to Gu Yin, and smiled, "Brother, won't you introduce us?"
Everyone else looked at the two of them with curiosity. When Gu Yin came to find Chu Yan earlier, everyone was curious, but the occasion was not appropriate, so they all held back from asking. Now, at the dinner table, the opportunity couldn't be more perfect!
Without needing Chu Yan's introduction, Gu Yin smiled and said, "Zhou Gu Yin, Chu Yan's girlfriend, hello everyone."
Everyone raised their eyebrows at Chu Yan.
"How did you two get together? Gu Yin is so beautiful! Chu Yan, how did you manage to win her over? Teach me! I also have someone I like! But I don't dare to pursue her!" Zhang Wanlong's eyes lit up! Right now, he was really looking forward to seeing how Chu Yan pursued someone! He'd learn from him, maybe he could win over the girl he liked too!
Yu Lang sighed helplessly, "Take a look at Chu Yan and Gu Yin's appearances first! Then look at yourself! Are you sure their methods are suitable for you?"
Everyone looked at the two incredibly good-looking people and nodded in agreement.
"Brother Zhang, maybe we should just forget about it! It wouldn't be good if we ended up imitating them poorly!"
Zhang Wanlong rolled his eyes: "Go away, go away! How can you talk like that?! What am I lacking! What am I lacking..." As he said this, he saw Chu Yan's expressionless face, which didn't care about anyone else's life or death, paused, and sighed: "You are indeed quite lacking! Fine, I'll just keep my crush on you!"
Seeing his dejected look, Chu Yan couldn't help but laugh: "The key to pursuing someone is to be sincere, pay attention to details, respond to everything, and make sure everything is settled. Don't treat pursuing someone as a task! The most important thing is that you really like and love them. Liking and loving are the driving forces that keep you doing everything. Outsiders can't explain this kind of thing. You can only experience it yourself. It can only be felt, not explained!"
Gu Yin chimed in from the side: "If the other person doesn't dislike you and treats you differently than others, then if you can win over their family, it shouldn't be a problem."
Zhang Wanlong exclaimed in surprise: "So you've already met their parents?!"
Everyone thought the two of them were quite young, and they'd already met each other's parents? That's amazing!
Chu Yan nodded: "Our situation is a bit special. We've known each other since we were quite young. We got to know each other through family first, and then we started dating."
Yang Yan said enviously, "You guys are so lucky! Cheng Zhi and I are from the same place and went to the same high school. I really worked my butt off in my senior year of high school so that I could go to the same school as him. Luckily, my score was high enough to get into the art department here, otherwise I might have missed it! We are now juniors in college and are planning to go home this summer to meet our parents. Although we have a good relationship, I don't know if we can get past our families. Cheng Zhi's family works in the public sector, while my family owns a company. They pay more attention to this aspect, so I'm quite nervous right now."
They were afraid his family would look down on them. Cheng Zhi's family held quite high positions, and their company was neither too big nor too small, making them quite wealthy. However, many families within the system didn't like this kind of relationship. They preferred a marriage between people of similar social standing, meaning the other person also had to work within the system.
Seeing the worry in Yang Yan's eyes, Gu Yin smiled and said, "This shouldn't be your concern. Just focus on doing your own thing. Just be in the best of spirits on the day you meet the parents. Leave the rest to him. If he can't handle this well, and it makes you feel inferior and worried, then I don't mind if you two are together. Your family is well-off, your education is good, and you're beautiful. In such a short time, I can already see that you have a good personality. If he doesn't know how to cherish and fight for a girl like this, then I think that if you get married and encounter some external or internal problems, he won't be able to solve them. He'll lack responsibility and might even be the one who holds you back! But you've known each other for so long, so you must understand each other quite well. You can talk to him about your worries and trust him more. Maybe he's already working on solving them."
Gu Yin originally didn't want to get involved in other people's relationships, but she just couldn't bear to see such a wonderful girl so insecure because of love!
Yang Yan's ability to get into Harbin University shows that her intelligence is not an issue. After Gu Yin finished speaking, she reflected on Cheng Zhi's performance along the way and felt that Yang Yan should be more confident! So she nodded: "That makes sense!"
Yu Lang, standing beside him, shook his head with a smile: "Yang Yan, don't worry! Every time Cheng Zhi calls home, he talks about how good you are, how you help him get meals, take care of him, and even wash his clothes and dirty socks. His parents scold him on the spot, saying he's inhuman, how can he let his girlfriend do these things! Every family has a precious child! They tell him not to push his luck, or they'll come and beat him up! But he doesn't listen. Every time he calls, he still brags about these things to his family, arranges gifts for himself on every holiday, insisting they're from you, and when he says he's run out of living expenses and his family wants to send him money, he says no, he'll use yours." "That's fine, anyway, your money is his, and you won't mind!" His grandfather was so angry he almost broke his legs in the car! His mother even threatened him that she recorded it, and if he continued like this, she would send the recording to you so you could break up with him! She said a man like that is better off without! Afterwards, Chen Zhi pretended to be scared and stopped saying those things, but he still praised you. He said when he heard they were going to take you back home for summer vacation, they were all very excited. I was next to Chen Zhi at the time, and his whole family took turns calling to ask you what you liked and disliked, and even asked if your parents had any dietary restrictions, etc. They were so enthusiastic!"
Zhang Wanlong nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes! I've heard it a few times too! Goodness, that scheme really stumped me! I almost wanted to write it down in my notebook!"
Yang Yan's eyes lit up, and she said a little shyly, "Really?! He has never said these things to me, and I have never helped him wash his clothes or socks or anything like that. He just always gets more food for me."
So Cheng Zhi had been doing so much behind the scenes! He hadn't revealed a thing to her! After thinking for a moment, Yang Yan sent a message to Cheng Zhi.
A moment later, Cheng Zhi sent a message: "I was originally planning to tell you about this before summer vacation was almost over, because that would be a shorter time, so you wouldn't forget and wouldn't tell anyone when you got home. That way, your family would cherish you even more! And they would be stricter with me! But it's okay that you know now. Anyway, I've already resolved it. You don't need to worry about anything, just be yourself! After being bombarded by my family, I've turned over a new leaf and learned to cherish and protect you! That's my family's impression of me right now, baby, don't worry!"
"Look, look, how sweetly she's smiling! I want to be in a relationship too!" Zhang Wanlong, sitting next to Yang Yan, said with a hint of jealousy when he saw her shy and happy expression after looking at her phone.
Yang Yan coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed: "Well, everyone, please chat first. I'll go ask why the food hasn't arrived yet!"
Everyone smiled kindly.
As soon as Yang Yan left, the dishes started to arrive one after another. By the time most of the dishes had been served, Yang Yan had regained her composure and returned.
At the dinner table, Yu Lang picked up some food and asked Chu Yan, "Are you here for leisure or something else? If you're here for leisure, I can be your tour guide. I'm a local, and I know a lot of fun places, places that outsiders don't even know about!"
Chu Yan shook his head: "I came here to keep Ayin company. I need to go to your school tomorrow to determine whether I will stay here."
Yu Lang looked at Gu Yin: "Are you planning to take the entrance exam for Harbin University? Or did you get a guaranteed admission here?" Gu Yin looked quite young, so Yu Lang assumed she was a high school graduate this year and had come to visit the school.
Gu Yin shook her head, but before she could speak, a boy at the table raised his hand, and everyone looked over.
The boy raised his eyes, which lit up, and said with increasing excitement, "Don't you guys read the news? She's Zhou Guyin! A big shot! Don't you guys know her?! My God! I actually met her in person! And even had dinner with her! Who would believe that?! Just ask anyone!"
Zhang Wanlong and Yu Lang looked puzzled, and the others were equally confused.
Yang Yan tentatively asked, "Is Gu Yin a celebrity? A really famous one? She's so beautiful! Even more beautiful than people in the industry! Is she in the film and television industry? The kind that works overseas? Otherwise, how could she be a big shot?"
The bespectacled male student quickly shook his head: "Not a celebrity! She's a future scientist! A future professor and academician! Professor Zhou is so young, still an undergraduate, and she was already nominated for the Nobel Prize in Biomedicine last year! She's developed a drug that doesn't exist in the world yet! She's also a core researcher in AIDS research! Recently, her new experiment, the ultimate targeted cancer drug, has achieved tremendous success! Once her drug is on the market, the world will no longer be afraid of cancer! This is a great discovery! This is a huge milestone for humanity! Such a great person! And she's having dinner with us! Tell me, aren't you excited?!"
Gu Yin felt a little embarrassed. She hadn't expected anyone to recognize her. There weren't many photos of her online. There used to be some, but those photos were deleted after the results of the second experiment. Besides, she didn't go out much. Yesterday, no one recognized her on the playground, which made her feel a little relieved.
Everyone in their seats was stunned!
While the bespectacled boy was explaining, Yang Yan and the others took out their phones and went online to check. They found that the previous incidents hadn't been deleted, so they quickly discovered them!
While watching the news, Yang Yan muttered unconsciously, "My God, this is amazing! Only a teenager! And he can skip grades in college?! Nobel Prize nomination! His intelligence is off the charts! My goodness! How can he be so amazing! What did he eat to grow up like this?!"
After reading it, Yu Lang took a deep breath, swallowed hard, and then glanced at Gu Yin before not daring to look at her again. He felt that the people sitting there were not his peers, but academicians and big shots who only appeared in the news. Their auras were completely different!
Yu Lang leaned closer to Chu Yan and whispered, "How does it feel to have such an outstanding partner?"
Chu Yan's lips curled into a smile: "Happy! Proud! Extremely proud!"
Yu Lang raised an eyebrow: "No pressure?"
Chu Yan frowned: "There is pressure, but it doesn't scare me. Instead, it motivates me to move forward, to be excellent, and to be worthy of her excellence."
Yu Lang pursed his lips and gave a thumbs-up in admiration!
Zhang Wanlong glanced at Gu Yin, then looked down at his phone. Less than five seconds later, he looked back at Gu Yin, then back at his phone. After repeating this several times, Gu Yin gave up.
"What are you doing sneaking around like that? Just say what you have to say. We're all friends today, so stop acting like that!"
Zhang Wanlong chuckled upon hearing this: "Hey, can I get an autograph?! The person I like is also a biology major! I just asked her if she knew you, and she said a whole bunch of things, more than she usually does with me! It was all praise and admiration! I just want to get her an autograph! To make her happy later!"
Gu Yin said with some regret, "I can't sign anything casually right now, so I'm sorry." It's a rule from above; she has too many things on her hands and can't just sign anything outside.
Zhang Wanlong was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and immediately waved his hand, "I understand, I understand! It's okay, it's alright!"
Gu Yin held up her phone: "But after we finish eating, we can take pictures, is that okay?"
Zhang Wanlong was overjoyed: "That's fantastic! Absolutely fantastic!"
After Zhang Wanlong finished speaking, the bespectacled student asked happily, "So you've come to our school to start a new research project?"
"Class monitor! Time to eat!" Yu Lang immediately called out softly, then looked at Gu Yin and apologized, "I'm sorry, our class monitor is quite studious and a bit enthusiastic about learning. He got a little excited when he saw you, so he went a bit overboard."
Gu Yin just said she can't sign autographs casually right now, so they can't ask about her future research projects or her purpose for coming to Harbin University! They're already lucky to have this opportunity!
The bespectacled boy realized he had offended her, so he immediately waved his hand nervously, "I didn't mean to pry into your schedule! I'm sorry!" He had just seen online that Gu Yin was guessing what her next research topic would be, so he asked out of curiosity!
Gu Yin smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing, I just came to look up information. I don't have any ideas for the new topic yet, so I'll finish the existing experiments first."
Even though the male classmate used a respectful form of address, he didn't seem to mean any offense, and Gu Yin didn't mind.
Chu Yan picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and placed it in Gu Yin's bowl, then smiled and said, "Today is just a regular get-together, everyone relax. The food is getting cold, let's eat first."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Let's eat! We still need to take pictures after we finish eating!" Zhang Wanlong felt no pressure at all and started eating right away!
After Zhang Wanlong finished speaking, he handed Yang Yan a chicken leg and said with a smile, "The food at this restaurant is very good, everyone should try it! We don't get many chances to eat here! This time, Young Master Cheng is paying the bill! Let's give him face and eat more! But we won't forget him, so Yang Yan, later you can order some chicken soup and send it to him! We won't eat for nothing! We'll bring him chicken soup!"
Yang Yan was immediately at a loss for words: "I believe you! I will definitely deliver the message and the soup!"
Gu Yin thought Zhang Wanlong was physically strong, but not simple-minded, had high emotional intelligence, and was quite funny. After swallowing her food, she looked up and saw the man who had used dirty tricks on Chu Yan on the basketball court during the day.
Gu Yin approached Chu Yan and whispered, "The troublemakers are here."
Chu Yan was peeling shrimp for Gu Yin when he heard this. He glanced up, then lowered his head to continue peeling, saying softly, "It won't cause any trouble. The hotel's security is not just for show."
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this, but remained silent and continued eating.
"Oh my, it really is Ah Long! I thought I was seeing things from afar! Eating at Chu's Hotel! Why didn't you tell our team? It's so expensive here. We're all poor guys on our team, we don't get many chances to come here! You had the opportunity, why didn't you tell your teammates? It's not right to eat alone!"
Zhang Wanlong was pouring a drink for Yang Yan when he heard a familiar voice and turned around. He saw five people standing behind him, all from the basketball team, and the person speaking was the team captain.
Zhang Wanlong nodded as a greeting: "Captain, are you coming to eat too? I don't have money to treat anyone to a meal. This meal is Cheng Zhi's treat. Even if I invited you, you wouldn't want to come!" After saying that, he looked at Zhang Lei next to the captain and smiled meaningfully.
