"My parents moved to City A for work, so we came here together."
Wang Mai then curiously glanced at Gu Rongqi beside him and asked, "Oh, where did Gu Rongqi study before?"
“I studied in Country Y,” Gu Rongqi replied.
“Country Y? University in Country Y?” Wang Mai suddenly raised his voice and repeated.
Gu Rong nodded, "Mm."
Wang Mai looked at Ren Baiping and asked, "I remember you said before that you wanted to apply for a joint training program with a university in Country Y?"
Cheng Qicai was somewhat stunned by this sudden news; she had never heard Ren Baiping mention the joint training program before.
Ren Baiping replied, "It's not decided yet."
At this moment, Gu Rongqi smiled and said, "Really? If you want to apply, I can ask around for you if you have any questions."
Upon hearing this, both Cheng Qicai and Ren Baiping were taken aback. Given Gu Rongqi's status, his saying such a thing meant that Ren Baiping's application to the school was practically a done deal.
Ren Baiping wasn't particularly happy. He simply smiled politely and said, "Thank you for your kind offer, but I'm just considering it. I might not go."
When the group finished their meal and went to pay the bill, they learned that Gu Rong had already paid for the meal earlier.
Ren Baiping asked, "How much? I'll add a group A later?"
Gu Rongqi waved his hand, "It's alright. It was my rudeness that I told Ren Baiping at the last minute that I wanted to join your group, which disrupted your plans. Now that I've made so many new friends, consider this meal a gift."
"No, no..."
"Thanks……"
Gu Rongqi's official remarks immediately made everyone more polite.
When they reached the subway entrance, Cheng Qicai originally planned to take the subway home with Ren Baiping and the others.
Just as I was about to step onto the escalator, Gu Rongqi called out from behind, "Cheng Qicai!"
Cheng Qicai stopped in her tracks as she was about to step onto the escalator, looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Gu Rongqi glanced at Ren Baiping, who was with her, and said to the two of them, "I'll take you back."
Cheng Qicai looked at the others waiting at the bottom of the escalator and said, "Forget it, there are so many people here, it's not good to just give us two a ride. Besides, the three of us are going in different directions, it's too much trouble. We'll just take the subway back."
Ren Baiping said, "That's right. You treated us to dinner today. It would be too much of us to ask you to come all this way to take us back."
Looking at Cheng Qicai standing next to Ren Baiping, knowing that she had made up her mind, he nodded, "Okay, let me know when you get home."
Cheng Qicai nodded, turned around, and stood on the escalator with Ren Baiping.
