Chapter 231 No one else is in sight
After seeing Lu Jie off, Du Zhongming and Xie Tianhua also left the auditorium. As for the guests inside, the vice principal and the director could handle the arrangements.
Gu Yin returned to her class's line and sat down to watch the performance on stage. As for the Wang family, they had already awkwardly left through a side door after Lu Jie left.
The performance lasted until 10 o'clock. After it ended, all the students who had performed went on stage to take their bows, and Gu Yin's four roommates also went on stage.
After they dispersed, Zhou Meng looked at them with a sullen expression and said, "Want to go get some late-night snacks? I'm starving!"
Seeing that Chu Yan had arrived, Gu Yin shook her head and said, "I have something to do, you guys go ahead."
After the three left, Chu Yan came over.
During the curtain call, the hosts received bouquets of flowers, and Chu Yan was holding a large bunch of sunflowers in his arms at this moment.
The two left backstage and walked along the campus path.
Many people are heading towards the cafeteria, so there aren't many people on the school path right now. Plus, there are a lot of trees and the lights aren't very bright. You can see people walking, but you can't tell who they are.
Chu Yan handed the flowers in her hand to Gu Yin.
Gu Yin asked in surprise, "Didn't the school give this to you?"
Chu Yan shook her head: "These flowers were bought by myself and given to me. The art committee member has already taken them to the classroom, put them in a vase, and placed them on the teacher's desk."
After saying that, he turned to Gu Yin and said, "This is for you, to celebrate your successful performance!"
Gu Yin reached out and took it. To be honest, this was the first time in both her lives that she had received flowers from a boy.
The sunflower's words: "No one else is in my sight, you are everywhere I look!"
Gu Yin's eyes blinked, and she smiled gently, saying, "Thank you, I like it very much."
Chu Yan smiled and her steps became much lighter.
After walking for a while, he slowed down and waited for Gu Yin to catch up before speaking.
"The Xia family's company has been acquired, and now we're preparing to change the company name. What do you think?"
Gu Yin exclaimed in surprise, "So fast! Does the Xia family know who acquired it?"
Chu Yan shook his head: "I haven't revealed it yet. We'll talk about it when you go to Beijing, okay?"
Gu Yin thought it was a good idea; being mysterious was better.
"Let's call it 'Ying Le' (影乐). It's a homophone for 'music' (音乐)
This company is mainly used to compete with the Zhou family; it's her arena against Ah Le.
Chu Yan guessed Gu Yin's intention and nodded: "Then it's confirmed that we'll use Ying Le. I'll bring the contract over for you to sign tomorrow. Shall we go to the cafeteria for a late-night snack now?"
"Go, go eat hot and sour noodles."
When the two arrived, the cafeteria was already packed. Gu Yin frowned. The lights would be turned off in half an hour, and there would be almost no time to eat after queuing up.
"Maybe we should just forget about it?" Gu Yin began to have second thoughts.
"Let's go to the second floor. Today is special; the food is the same on the second floor as on the first. Let's go." Chu Yan said, leading the way upstairs.
There were indeed fewer people on the second floor. The two of them queued for a while, got their hot and sour noodles, and found an empty seat to sit down.
The hot and sour noodles contained beef tripe, half an egg, and beef brisket. Chu Yan picked up the beef brisket and tripe from his bowl and put them into Gu Yin's bowl, then took the egg from Gu Yin's bowl.
Gu Yin was surprised: "Why are you giving this to me? Aren't you going to eat it? I have plenty in my bowl!" And how did the other person know that she didn't really like eggs?
“You exercised tonight, so eat more. I saw you give an egg to A-Le at your house earlier, and A-Le said you don’t like egg yolks.” After saying that, he peeled the egg white off and put it in Gu Yin’s bowl.
Looking at the overflowing rice bowl, Gu Yin smiled helplessly and said, "If I don't like cilantro, do you have to pick it out one by one?"
Chu Yan looked up: "Luckily, you like to eat it, and I like it too. We have the same taste, so there's no need to worry about it."
Gu Yin: "...Eat!"
Chu Yan smiled and lowered his head to eat his noodles.
"By the way, I noticed something unusual about your table when I was on stage earlier. What happened? When Mayor Wang's family went there."
Chu Yan asked questions while eating.
Gu Yin recounted what had happened that night.
Chu Yan frowned: "Everyone says that businessmen value profit, but those people value both profit and power. They are even more greedy than us. Be careful in the future. Don't leave the school gate unless necessary. I'm afraid they'll do something desperate."
Gu Yin laughed and said, "The old man made a phone call as soon as he got in the car. I guess Mayor Wang will be suspended from his duties for investigation tomorrow. It's hard to stay clean once you're in that position. Besides, Wang Qianqian is so arrogant behind the scenes, I don't believe the Wang couple doesn't know. It's mainly because they have a lot of power and aren't afraid of being found out. The Wang family is definitely not clean."
Gu Yin never considered herself to be the kind of innocent and kind person. In her past life, it was because of these four words that she almost couldn't leave the mountains several times on her way to find Gu Le.
She has always believed in the principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me".
After finishing her late-night snack and returning to her dormitory, Gu Yin remembered that the principal had said he would change her dormitory. She had forgotten to tell Chu Yan, so she decided to tell him tomorrow after she moved her things.
After washing up and lying in bed, Gu Yin turned to face Xiao Se and the others and said softly, "I'm participating in the information technology competition again. With the principal's approval, I don't need to go to classes most of the time, so I'm moving dorms tomorrow to a single room in the classroom dormitory building. I need to use the internet, so I wanted to let you know in advance."
The dormitory fell silent for a moment. Gu Yin thought they hadn't heard her clearly and was about to repeat herself when Zhou Meng sat up and exclaimed, "What? Moving dorms? Did I hear that right?"
Gu Yin paused for a moment and then said, "It's true."
"You're participating in both the International Mathematical Olympiad and the International Computer Science Olympiad, so what about your studies? Aren't you going to take the college entrance exam?" Wan Qing asked in confusion from the other side.
"I'm participating. Well, I've already studied the material for the senior year of high school. I usually come to the classroom for classes when I'm not busy, and I also come back for the final exams. The rest of the time, I'm probably learning competition knowledge with the teachers."
Xiao Se was at a loss for words to describe the other person. He stretched his hand out from the bed and gave a thumbs up: "Awesome! What should I do? I don't want to study anymore, I just want to suck up to someone! I have a feeling that A-Yin will definitely be a top star in the future! If I suck up to someone now, won't I avoid taking twenty years of detours!"
Gu Yin couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this: "I'll give you a hug, but you can't slack off! You have to study hard! I look forward to seeing you at the top!"
The other three were shocked. Meeting at the summit—what a beautiful phrase!
"Go to sleep early, get up early tomorrow to study! I'll help you move your things at noon!" Zhou Meng immediately lay down and closed her eyes. If she didn't work harder, she would fall behind Gu Yin!
The next day, after the second class, Gu Yin was called to Wang Xiaoli's office.
