Chapter 476: The Magical Old Man



Bai You met Zhou Yan again at a school-enterprise party held at the school.

The school's top leaders, including the principal, gathered around an elderly man, chatting and laughing. Their words and actions revealed their flattery and respect. University A was a century-old prestigious university, one of the best in the country, and the fact that the head of the university was so humble suggested the status of the elderly man.

What's more, they are the only ones who know the thoughts behind the huge effort and energy put into organizing such a grand party.

The other students were very curious about this party that had been arranged a long time ago. They were all wondering what the school wanted to do by holding such a grand party and gathering all the freshmen and sophomores.

Bai You, who was surrounded by a sea of ​​students, had his eyes fixed on the old man and the man behind the principal, Zhou Yan.

Counting the time, they haven't seen each other for a month. Ever since Lu Yunxiao told her that the Zhou family was a deep hole with tangled trivialities inside that she couldn't understand, not to mention that Zhou Yan was far from being as simple as he seemed, she had intentionally or unintentionally distanced herself from Zhou Yan.

During this month, she did not contact him actively, and he did not contact her again. When she almost thought she might never see him again, she unexpectedly saw him at school.

Zhou Yan was a handsome man. Although he didn't have the same elegance as Lu Yunxiao, he was still quite famous among the young people of his generation. In the upper class, besides Lu Yunxiao and Si Youli, he was probably the most famous.

He has outstanding abilities and talents. He will surely make a name for himself in the future. I have met him twice at banquets, and all the famous people said the same thing. They all expressed admiration and praise for him.

However, Lu Yunxiao simply commented that he had the ability, but his intentions were not right, so it would be difficult for him to achieve great things.

She didn’t understand why Lu Yunxiao said that before, but now looking at Zhou Yan on the stage, she suddenly understood what Lu Yunxiao meant.

The old man, surrounded by the school's top management and talking incessantly, kept his eyes and thoughts on the people on both sides of him and didn't even think about the person behind him.

More than ten minutes passed, and Bai You was really about to think that the old man had forgotten about Zhou Yan who was following him like a bodyguard. He took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and threw it behind him. Then she saw Zhou Yan respectfully take the handkerchief, fold it neatly, and put it in his pocket.

Bai You was stunned by what she saw. She didn't even know how long she was stunned by that scene. She only came to her senses when her roommates were clapping her frantically. She looked at her roommates blankly, not knowing what they were so excited about.

"Xiao Xi, everything is fine, why are you daydreaming? Look, the school said that Boyun Company will provide free physical examinations for all students. It's not just for show, it's completely in accordance with the hospital's procedures. This is equivalent to helping us check up for free. We all want a good physical examination, but it's a pie in the sky. Now it's good."

After the roommate finished speaking, he couldn't help but started looking for it, but because there were too many people in the auditorium, he covered his mouth and laughed quietly.

Bai You was so shocked by the scene just now that he hadn't recovered yet. He was so shocked by the news from his roommate that he completely lost his ability to think.

My head felt like it was filled with lead, incredibly heavy. The entire auditorium was in an uproar over the school's announcement, and everyone's faces were visibly filled with joy. And really, someone paid for a complete physical exam—how could I not be happy about such a good thing?

But is this really a good thing? She has seen large companies doing charity before. They usually sponsor poor students to finish college or buy supplies, but this kind of help with physical examinations is the first time she has seen it. And the person doing the physical examination is related to Zhou Yan, and Zhou Yan is related to the accidental car accident and the heart case.

It's not that she is too suspicious, but all this is too unusual. Are they really doing charity and providing free physical examinations for them, or... is there another conspiracy?

Bai You looked at the old man who had just been disgusted with Zhou Yan, and in the blink of an eye, he put on a kind and peaceful face and talked to the microphone. Suddenly, he felt an indescribable strangeness. Kindness that was too much could also be vicious.

Whether he is a kind old man or a wolf in sheep's clothing is still unclear. Boyun Company, this company, is probably a different world.

Bai You didn't listen to what the school leader on the stage said to the old man. She was looking at Zhou Yan the whole time.

The young man who was praised by everyone in the upper class was not even qualified to take a seat at such a small occasion, a small party held by a school.

At the beginning, due to a mistake made by the school leader, a chair was missing. Naturally, Zhou Yan, the youngest student, was not qualified to sit. The leader could see that he was very embarrassed. The distance between the stage and the audience was a bit far, and Bai You could not hear clearly what they said, but from the leader's behavior, he could tell that he was very surprised about this matter.

He should have asked someone to help move the chair, but the old man stopped him. Then Zhou Yan stood behind the old man like a bodyguard. If someone who didn't know the situation saw him, they might think that he was the bodyguard specially hired by the old man at a high salary.

This old man is so kind that he can donate a large sum of money and help tens of thousands of people to have full body checkups, but he is also so stingy that many people behind him are not allowed to sit down. Whether he is evil or good, I am afraid only he himself knows.

For three hours, Bai You just looked at the old man on the stage. He used the kindest appearance to speak the most touching words, encouraging this group of students who had not yet had the chance to enter society. The corners of his mouth were raised, the curve was kind, but Bai You felt a chill as he watched.

The students sat for three hours, the leader accompanied the old man in giving a psychological lecture for three hours, and Zhou Yan just stood straight for three hours.

At the end, the students were excited and the leaders shook hands with gratitude. Zhou Yan still stood respectfully behind the old man. Bai You walked out of the auditorium and when he turned around, he could still see Zhou Yan's straight posture.

Three hours without moving—I'm afraid even the average soldier couldn't do it. He was so familiar with it, so good at it. Was he gifted, or had he been accustomed to standing still for hours since childhood? That's why he ended up so well today.

That old man is probably the person she should investigate the most.
