After saying that, Principal Zhang continued to ramble on to Ji Zhinan: "When you graduated, I told you to continue your studies. Your family isn't short of money, but in the end you chose to enter the workforce... Sigh!"
"Luckily, you've figured it out now. I told you long ago you're a smart kid. Your achievements will definitely go far beyond just graduating from university. With your brains alone, you could easily get a master's or doctoral degree!"
Ji Zhinan is a graduate of University A. During her time at the university, she was the most beautiful girl in her department and the most beautiful girl in the campus for four consecutive years, a record that remains unbroken to this day.
When Ji Zhinan graduated, Principal Zhang wanted to continue to train her, but Madam Ji did not want Ji Zhinan's academic qualifications to be higher than Ji Zhixia's. In order to make her step down, she used both soft and hard tactics.
At that time, Ji Zhinan was timid and obedient, and dared not anger Madam Ji, so he did not continue reading.
Ji Zhinan smiled faintly at Gu Yibei, remaining silent.
A smile finally appeared on Gu Yibei's expressionless face: "A coincidence."
Ji Zhinan nodded: "Skillful."
Principal Zhang looked at Ji Zhinan, then at Gu Yibei, his mouth agape: "You two—know each other?"
"Hmm." Before Ji Zhinan could answer, Gu Yibei replied first, "A good friend."
Ji Zhinan nodded, which was a sign of agreement with the man's words.
Principal Zhang stroked his mustache and laughed heartily: "I was just about to introduce you, but I didn't expect you already knew each other."
"Nan Nan, sit down quickly, I'll go pour you some tea."
"good."
Ji Zhinan walked to the sofa and sat down. Gu Yibei was right next to him, less than half a meter away.
Upon their unexpected encounter, unsure of what to say, Ji Zhinan stared at Principal Zhang, who was making tea in front of the water dispenser in the distance.
“University A is Lin Que’s alma mater. He wanted to donate a batch of experimental equipment to the school, but he was too busy to come, so he pushed the matter to me.”
Hearing the man speak, Ji Zhinan turned her head, met his deep black eyes, and smiled, "I see."
She said that she had never heard of Gu Yibei during her school days in her previous life.
This young man has achieved so much; in theory, he should be the pride of the school, the kind of person whose honor is displayed on the honor wall for younger students to admire.
Lin Que had heard of it before; A University had produced an international superstar, which was an honor for the school.
However, Ji Zhinan wasn't a fan of celebrities back then, so he didn't take it seriously.
The principal walked over with a smile, carrying a cup of freshly brewed tea, and placed it in front of Ji Zhinan.
"Thanks."
Principal Zhang sat down opposite him, picked up his cup, took a sip of tea, and then asked, "Are all the materials ready?"
Ji Zhinan handed over the items, saying, "Please check them."
Gu Yibei, who was standing next to him, did not say anything. He simply picked up the tea that Principal Zhang had poured for Ji Zhinan and poured it into a clean vessel next to him. He picked up the glass pot, added some boiled water, and then poured the tea back into the cup, with the handle of the cup facing Ji Zhinan.
"Drinking strong tea at night can easily cause insomnia. In addition, people with tachycardia, heart disease, stomach ulcers, neurasthenia, or weak and cold stomach should not drink strong tea, otherwise it will aggravate their condition. It is also not suitable to drink strong tea on an empty stomach, as it will cause stomach discomfort, and sometimes even palpitations, nausea and other discomfort symptoms, resulting in 'tea intoxication'."
Gu Yibei used his deep voice to explain things to Ji Zhinan and Principal Zhang. His voice seemed to carry an electric current, hitting her directly. Ji Zhinan felt her heart tremble as if it had been electrocuted.
The man smiled and said to Ji Zhinan, "I remember you like to drink light tea, but Principal Zhang poured strong tea, so I added some water for you."
