Chapter 119 Centennial Celebration

"Hello? Is this Suzuran?"

Early in the morning, Shen Linglan was awakened by a call from her counselor.

"Linglan, tomorrow is the school's centennial celebration. We have specially arranged a first-row seat for you. The laboratory building you donated will also be mentioned at that time. Remember to be there on time."

Since Shen Linglan donated the building, she often skipped classes, and the counselor often turned a blind eye. As long as Shen Linglan did not commit any serious mistakes that were written into the criminal law, she would still get her diploma even if she did not go to school during this period.

Even if the counselor wanted to deny it to her, the principal would be the first to disagree.

Shen Linglan hadn't been back to school for a long time, so she felt unfamiliar with the counselor's voice. She yawned quietly and then said, "Okay, teacher."

Shen Linglan stretched, got up and tidied herself up.

While brushing my teeth, I glanced at the weekly operating report of the biotechnology company. After washing my face and eating breakfast, I also checked the progress of the laboratory...

Shen Linglan hadn't been to school for such a long time because she was too busy recently. And now, taking this opportunity, Shen Linglan decided to show up at school.

For the school's centenary celebration, the school invited many former graduates who are now successful entrepreneurs or elites from various industries.

To celebrate the school's 100th anniversary, some people donated laboratory equipment, some donated desks and chairs, and some donated beds and desks for the dormitory.

It is said that besides Shen Linglan, there is only one entrepreneur who is so generous as to donate an entire building.

Shen Linglan arrived at school five minutes early.

She plopped down on the sofa in the conference hall. She used to be an ordinary student standing in the back row to watch performances, but now, she intuitively felt that the open view from the first row was very different, and it even made her feel as if this school anniversary party was held for her.

There was a woman walking beside her late. Shen Linglan turned around and found that the person looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who she was. She just glanced at her and didn't look at her carefully.

Unexpectedly, after the woman calmly and gracefully sat down beside Shen Linglan, she came up to take a look at Shen Linglan, and suddenly her eyebrows lit up with joy, "It's you! Little girl!"

Shen Linglan was even more confused now, "Who are you?"

The woman immediately introduced herself, "My name is Ye Chuhua. Liang Youjun's mother."

Seeing that Shen Linglan was still confused, Ye Chuhua thought for a moment and added, "About three or four months ago, my son sold the house to you. Do you remember?"

Shen Linglan suddenly realized that it was the owner who wanted to sell the house and go abroad, but his family was unwilling to let him go abroad.

"Hello."

Shen Linglan smiled at Ye Chuhua, "Long time no see, how is your son now?"

"Him!" Ye Chuhua said, looking angry and helpless, and a little proud of his son, "He got cocky and didn't listen to me and his father. He went abroad to study two months ago."

Shen Linglan nodded and said nothing more.

Ye Chuhua liked Shen Linglan very much, and couldn't help but hold her hand and wanted to chat with her more about family matters. "Are you comfortable living in that house?"

Shen Linglan said, "It's quite comfortable. But I went back to school recently, so I moved to another place."

Seeing that Shen Linglan did not mention her current residence, Ye Chuhua also had a sense of boundaries and did not ask in detail. He changed the subject, "You are also a student of Q University! You don't know that my husband also graduated from Q University. He has deep feelings for Q University. Look, he is on a business trip and donated money to the school. Now he asked me to attend on his behalf..."

While the two were chatting, two figures holding hands walked past the stage.

They are Shen Linglan’s former roommate, Chen Xiaohong, and the dormitory head.

Chen Xiaohong was deprived of the opportunity to perform at the school anniversary party. She wandered around the backstage and saw others dressed up and getting ready to perform. She felt jealous and angry.

She was angry at herself for being so careless before and letting Shen Linglan record the evidence.

What made Shen Linglan even more angry was her pettiness. She was obviously not short of money now, but she was still competing with herself over those skin care products worth a few hundred dollars!

While she was complaining to the head of the dorm, she was scanning the people in the VIP seats, trying to see if there was anyone she could dream about that night. It would be best if she could run into a handsome, tall, rich second-generation guy who would fall in love with her at first sight...

As Chen Xiaohong was thinking this, her eyes saw the person she hated the most in the first row - Shen Linglan.

She actually sat in the center of the VIP seats, chatting with the elegantly dressed lady next to her. No, what was she doing?!

Chen Xiaohong was furious. She shook off the dormitory head's hand and rushed to Shen Linglan. "Shen Linglan, why did you sneak in here?!"

Shen Linglan raised her head and saw Chen Xiaohong, who was wearing heavy makeup. She didn't recognize her for a moment, "Who are you?"

Chen Xiaohong sneered, "Why are you pretending? Shen Linglan, you don't think that by pretending not to recognize me, you can sneak into the front row and pretend that you are a VIP, right?"

She stretched out her hand to grab Shen Linglan, but Shen Linglan was protected by Ye Chuhua beside her. This made Chen Xiaohong's hand fall empty, and Chen Xiaohong became even more annoyed.

She said unhappily to Ye Chuhua, who looked like a lady, "Madam, don't be fooled by her. She is a student like me, not an entrepreneur at all."

However, Shen Linglan had no intention of competing with her - that would be lowering her status.

Shen Linglan raised her hand and waved to the student union members not far away. In an instant, someone with sharp eyes noticed the situation here and walked over quickly.

"Ms. Shen, what's wrong?"

Shen Linglan looked at Chen Xiaohong coldly and said, "This person is going crazy here. Please take her away. It's best not to let her enter the banquet again."

"She! Why is she sitting here? She--"

Chen Xiaohong wanted to point at Shen Linglan and curse at her, but her mouth was instantly covered by someone from the Student Union, and the finger that was pointing at Shen Linglan was also forcibly pressed down.

Although Shen Linglan looks young and the students in the student union don't think she is an entrepreneur, she was appointed to this position by the assistant to the principal himself, so how could there be anything wrong with that?

The student union wanted to pull Chen Xiaohong away, but Chen Xiaohong was fat, and her heels were like nails stuck in the ground, so they couldn't pull her away. The student union members got anxious and said, "If you don't leave, we'll deduct your credits!"

Chen Xiaohong didn't dare to make a scene anymore after hearing this. However, the student union leader who had just spoken harshly to her actually bowed to Shen Linglan and said, "Sorry to bother you."

Seeing the fearful expression of the person in charge, Chen Xiaohong's heart was pounding. Could it be that she really underestimated Shen Linglan?

Soon, the school anniversary celebration began. After the opening, the first people the host thanked were Shen Linglan and Ye Chuhua. The only two people sitting on the sofa chairs at the scene were the two people who donated the building to the school.

Ye Chuhua also gave a speech on stage according to her husband's request, but Shen Linglan was not prepared. She just stood up and nodded to the audience. When she was about to sit down, the host cue her again, "Ms. Shen, don't you say a few words to the juniors and seniors?"

Shen Linglan took the microphone, thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "I have established a biotechnology company, and I am now planning to start the second round of recruitment. If there are any seniors or students who are about to graduate who are interested, you can send me your resume."

Thunderous applause instantly broke out at the scene. Even the principal no longer looked at Shen Linglan as if she were a junior, but instead looked at her with a hint of admiration.

This is indeed what Shen Linglan has been doing recently. She needs to recruit talented people for her company. Since there are many elites from all walks of life present, this recruitment can kill two birds with one stone.

But Shen Linglan didn't expect that her words would become a hot topic on the school forum just after the school celebration ended.
