Chapter 502 Give Me Face
One of the boys with buzz cut looked at Gu Yin, his eyes shining, then put his hand on Zhao Mo's shoulder and asked curiously, "You know her? Introduce me?"
Zhao Mo ignored him and looked at Gu Yin, smiling, "You don't have classes this afternoon and evening, are you free to go see a movie?"
Gu Yin shook her head: "Sorry, I'm busy. I don't like watching movies. You can ask someone else to go."
Zhao Mo wasn't angry at being rejected. He stepped forward and continued with a smile, "It's okay if you don't like watching movies. There's a very famous Western restaurant upstairs. How about we go up and try it together? It's on me!"
Before Gu Yin could refuse, he continued, "It's okay if you don't like Western food. There are also well-established Chinese restaurants upstairs, the members-only kind. They're very delicious, and I think you'll like them."
Gu Yin looked at him quietly: "I can't accept something for nothing. We're not close enough to have a meal together, don't you think?"
Zhao Mo's smile vanished, replaced by a menacing glint in his eyes. "It's normal for people to go from strangers to acquaintances, and from acquaintances to friends. It's nothing special. Just give me face and have a meal with me."
The man with the buzz cut raised an eyebrow: "Dude, just pretending is fine, playing hard to get like this isn't very effective."
"That's right, they won't even give our young master Zhao face, how arrogant must they be!"
Gu Yin ignored the chattering crowd and continued staring at Zhao Mo, saying, "I refuse."
After saying that, he looked at Xingmang and the others and said, "Let's go."
Xiang Xingmang and the others were furious. What kind of people were these?! If it weren't for the fact that this was Gu Yin's own business and she hadn't said anything, they would have already started cursing!
There was only one road. Just as Gu Yin walked up to Zhao Mo and was about to pass, Zhao Mo stretched out his hand: "You don't like to eat, you don't like to watch movies, but you must like the ice rink on the basement floor, right? Zhou Gu Yin, refusing once is being a stranger, refusing twice is being pretentious, but refusing a third time is a bit ungrateful, isn't it?"
Wei Feng reached out and put Zhao Mo's arm down, laughing, "Dude, this isn't how you pursue a girl, is it? Forcing someone is a bit rude. Relationships are all about mutual consent. Doesn't this kind of behavior lower your standards?"
Zhao Mo looked coldly at Wei Feng, and the people behind him also surrounded him.
Yu Cheng also stood next to Gu Yin, and Yu Lulu and Xiang Xingmang were also looking at them.
The shop owner finally noticed the commotion and rushed over: "What are you doing! What's going on? Peace and harmony bring wealth! If there's any misunderstanding, sit down and talk it out! Fighting is no way!"
Zhao Mo looked at Gu Yin, a smile playing on his lips: "We have a long future ahead of us, let's go."
After saying that, he turned and left the shop.
Standing on the escalator, Zhao Mo watched Gu Yin and the others walk towards the door, his eyes narrowing: "A-Jie, help me find out the identities of those two men."
The buzz-cut guy immediately nodded: "No problem, I'll have my brother check it out when we get back. By the way, this isn't the girl you asked me to look into, is it? You don't actually like her, do you? She's pretty, but that aloof, cold personality of hers is hard to win over!"
Zhao Mo turned to look upstairs: "Don't you think it's very challenging?" He had noticed Gu Yin during military training, but they weren't in the same major, and she later joined the special training team, so he never had a chance to get to know her.
After the start of the semester, he was busy joining various clubs. Moreover, there was only one major course in their major that was the same as Zhou Guyin's major, which was only once a week. Besides, Zhou Guyin seemed to have skipped the major course many times. He couldn't find her, and he had neither the time nor the place to get to know her.
However, through Zhang Shijie's connections, he got access to Gu Yin's information.
Zhang Shijie is a sophomore and works in the secretariat of the department's student union. It's very simple for him to look up someone's information.
Zhang Shijie's older brother is a junior in college and a member of the student union. It's easy for him to check the information of students from other departments.
Zhao Mo had already obtained Gu Yin's information. She was a poor, top student from a remote city and a remote mountainous area, and all that was left were her academic performance and her appearance.
He'd seen plenty of girls like that. He'd assumed she was just like any other girl. He'd rent out a movie theater, take her to fancy restaurants, buy her some jewelry, shower her with sweet words, and send her breakfast for a few days—it would be a piece of cake.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yin has quite a personality this week. The outfit she was wearing today must have been paid for by the boy next to her. At Qingda University, students are either academically excellent or from wealthy and powerful families. He, for example, is a local from a wealthy family who spent some money to get into a major with a low admission score. He had also seen those two boys during military training; their families seemed to have some connections. He should investigate further first.
Zhang Shijie's family was poor. He met Zhao Mo while skipping class to play games at an internet cafe. After learning that Zhao Mo was a local and his family owned a company, he decided to follow him.
Zhao Mo wanted to build his own network at Qingda University. He had nothing but money. The bookworms at Qingda University were all rather aloof, and it was difficult to make friends with students who were powerful, rich, and influential. Only by infiltrating the student union, especially the university student union, could he get information about all the students in the university and meet more people. Moreover, 90% of the people in the university student union were students who were rich, powerful, and influential.
It's very difficult to get into the student union. Only those with exceptionally good grades and national scholarships have a chance to become members. And for higher-level positions, such as department heads, secretariat members, and members of the student union presidium, not just anyone can become one. Academic ability, financial resources, and power are all indispensable.
Each year, only a few new members are recruited. The student union is a microcosm of society, with complex and intertwined relationships and severe xenophobia.
Zhang Shijie's older brother, Zhang Shicheng, was just a low-level member of the student life department, the kind who did manual labor. However, because he was handsome and had a relationship with the head of the student life department, it was very easy for him to investigate the background of a freshman.
The Zhang brothers were just his stepping stones.
In the car, Wei Feng looked at Gu Yin: "Is that person from your major?"
Gu Yin shook her head: "No, he's from our department, but from another major. There was a large lecture that several of our classes took together, and I didn't know him."
Wei Feng nodded: "He doesn't seem like a decent person. His eyes are full of calculation and he's very hypocritical. Judging from his appearance, he won't give up until he gets you. You should be more careful in the future. If he comes to bother you, talk to your teacher or tell your parents. Those scoundrels are the kind who might try something underhanded."
Gu Yin nodded: "Don't worry."
When I got home, the clothes I bought had arrived.
No one was home, and Lan Yan was nowhere to be found. Gu Yin put down her clothes, had them dry-cleaned by the housekeeper, took some clothes, and went back to school.
After the application is approved tomorrow, she will stay up all night monitoring the patients. She will then stay at the university. The hospital for the drug trial is a top-tier hospital right next to Qingdao University that has been authorized to conduct drug trials.
The next morning at 10:00 AM, the email confirming the approval of my application arrived.
Because it was Gu Yin's first time conducting an experiment, Yao Lao accompanied her throughout the entire process.
I took the application and the medication to the hospital, and the hospital was notified that professionals would review and verify them. It wasn't until the afternoon that the review was approved by the drug trial project team.
"It's already afternoon, and many patients have already eaten. The data is accurate. Come back at nine o'clock tomorrow. By then, they will have finished their tests, and then we'll begin. Phase II is different from Phase I. Phase I consisted of healthy volunteers, so it was relatively easy. Now, we have patients, so the supervision is much stricter. Professor Cheng is also an acquaintance of our center building and knows that Phase II is quite demanding. We need you to stay with us for a few nights to prevent any issues from arising among the patients, so we can promptly know the progress of your experiment and provide appropriate treatment."
The director of the Clinical Trial Research Center led the two downstairs and gave Gu Yin a hundred years' worth of advice.
Gu Yin nodded: "I'm ready."
The director smiled and nodded: "That's good! I hope this experiment goes smoothly and the drug is launched as soon as possible to relieve the suffering of patients with shingles!"
Gu Yin smiled and said, "Yes, I will."
After leaving the hospital, Old Cheng looked at Gu Yin and asked, "I have some things to take care of here. Are you going back to school or home?"
"I'm going back to school and will stay there for the next few days. I'll go home once the second phase of the experiment is running smoothly."
Professor Cheng smiled and nodded: "Alright, then go to school. Don't be nervous, you'll definitely pass the experiment. Relax, get a good rest tonight, you'll be busy starting tomorrow."
Gu Yin nodded and went back to school.
