Chapter 51 How to be a good lover if you don’t accept gifts?
Finally getting the answer he wanted, Chen Zhan couldn't tell whether he was relieved or what, and pushed the bracelet over, "I give this back to you."
Zhou Jingyu lazily rested his hand on the car window, flicking the ash off his cigarette with his slender, cold white fingers. His brows lowered slightly, his emotions unclear. "Keep it. It looks good on you."
I guess Chen Zhan doesn't plan to keep it.
Zhou Jingyu sneered, "How can you be my lover if you don't accept the gift I give you?"
She was speechless, her throat seemed to be choked and she couldn't make a sound.
Zhou Jingyu raised his hand and bit the cigarette, then slowly put the bracelet back on Chen Zan's wrist, rubbing his fingertips on her fair wrist twice.
Although her movements were extremely gentle, her voice was extremely cold. "Ms. Chen, five minutes are up."

Chen Zan stopped at the school gate and looked back across the street. The black car had already driven away.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the jade bracelet on her wrist. It was clear that Zhou Jingyu had agreed to her request, but why did she feel upset?
She rushed into the classroom before class and Xu Anan saved a seat for her. As soon as she sat down, Xu Anan looked at her carefully.
Chen Zhan couldn't help but straighten his scarf and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Xu Anan shook her head: "Something is wrong, Chen Zhan, there is something very wrong with you."
Chen Zhan clenched his palms and said in a dry tone: "What's wrong?"
Xu Anan still shook her head, "I just feel like something's wrong with you today, but I can't put my finger on it."
There were three black lines on Chen Zan's forehead, and she thought An An saw something.
Xu Anan asked about her grandmother's condition. She said she was recovering well and would be discharged from the hospital in two days.
After class in the morning, Chen Zhan went to the teacher's office to inquire about the competition and asked the teacher to look at her speech. She had previously registered for the School of Foreign Languages' Innovative Linguistics Competition, and she had originally only registered for the written translation project.
But her teacher had seen that she was very talented in this area and had talked to her about her plans after undergraduate studies. Chen Zan was hesitant between going abroad or pursuing a master's degree.
Whether she was studying for a master's degree or going abroad, her return was of great help in her examinations for the Translation Department and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Although she was only a sophomore, her teacher was very pleased with her future career plans and therefore asked her to sign up for the speech program.
After reading the speech, the teacher highlighted a few key points for her and asked her to go back and revise them. If she has time, she can practice pronunciation more. If she is well-off, it would be best for her to sign up for a French interest class and let a more professional teacher correct her pronunciation problems.
Chen Zan said that he would think about it, and pronunciation was indeed a problem.
As a minority language, French teachers are scarce in schools. Because the salary is not high, many French teachers prefer to go to external cram schools.
In addition to attending classes, Chen Zhan often practices pronunciation by following videos. Professional teachers can only correct her pronunciation of words. As for wanting to practice more native pronunciation, she still needs to find a better French teacher.

I went to the Student Union for a meeting in the afternoon. It was near the end of the year, and this year's school anniversary and New Year's Eve party were held together. At the same time, a charity fundraising event was also set up. Each college had to perform one or two programs on stage, inviting outstanding graduates from previous years and outstanding corporate representatives from Rongchuan.
Regarding the graduates who will return to school to attend the school anniversary, you can just email them one by one according to the list of outstanding seniors from previous years.
As for the outstanding enterprises in Rongchuan, this was a difficult problem for them. Fortunately, the school also made a list for them to contact.
It just so happened that Xu Anan was assigned the position of current president of Rongtou Group.
Xu Anan was stunned when she saw the list. She hugged Chen Zhan's arm and said exaggeratedly, "The director asked us to contact Zhou Jingyu? Is he overestimating our department, or underestimating this important figure?"
Chen Zhan hadn't expected such a coincidence, so he suggested, "Isn't there a contact email address listed above? Send the invitation first."
Xu Anan held her face and said, "I think it's mainly because I think that a big shot like Mr. Zhou doesn't have the time to attend a small school celebration."
Chen Zhan disagreed. "Didn't Mr. Zhou come to the school art exhibition before? I think he would be happy to participate in a charity project like this."
Xu Anan blinked when she heard that, then looked at her seriously and said, "Zhanzhan, why do I feel like you know this Mr. Zhou very well?"
Chen Zhan was stunned for a moment: "Really?"
Xu Anan nodded heavily: "I feel so."
Chen Zhan said guiltily, "No, maybe we just met at an art exhibition before and exchanged a few words?"
Hearing this, Xu Anan became even more suspicious and asked, "Didn't you say that at the art exhibition, you were just a translator and didn't speak at all?"
Chen Zhan: “…”
The more you say, the more you reveal. She understood this sentence deeply.
Jin Hanzhou came over and first glanced at Chen Zhan, then said to Xu Anan, "Contact the person in charge of Rongtou Group to attend the school anniversary. If you find it difficult, I can switch with you."
The list in his hand was of an internet technology company. "I remember this company has cooperated with your family. It will be easier for you and Chen Zhan to contact this company."
Xu Anan didn't agree, "No need, President, I decided to challenge myself."
Jin Hanzhou looked puzzled, and even Chen Zan looked at her in confusion.
Xu Anan smiled embarrassedly, "Oh, I just think Mr. Zhou is handsome. I like looking at handsome guys. The boss of your internet company came to my house for dinner. He has a big belly and a Mediterranean look. I don't want him."
Chen Zhan: “…”
Jin Hanzhou: "..."
"what ever."
After saying that, Jin Hanzhou walked away with a sour face.
Chen Zhan whispered, "Senior Jin seems unhappy?"
Xu Anan tutted, "He doesn't like me, why would he be unhappy?"
Chen Zan didn't know whether to comfort or what to say.
Xu Anan snorted twice, "Zhanzhan, senior likes you, but I don't like competing with my bestie, so I decided to find someone else. I think this Mr. Zhou is a good choice."
Chen Zhan looked bewildered, "An An you..."
Xu Anan glared at her: "You want to ask me when I figured it out?"
She nodded awkwardly.
"Of course it was that night at dinner. The way he looked at you was too obvious. I'm not a fool." Xu Anan asked her, "Then when did you know that Jin Hanzhou liked you? Tell me the truth and don't try to lie to me."
Chen Zhan choked up, then confessed honestly, "Actually, it was only during those two days that I realized he might like me..."
When it comes to Wei Yunxi's affairs, Jin Hanzhou, who is obviously not enthusiastic, is willing to help her so much. Although he didn't say it explicitly, she could feel it.
Xu Anan felt much better after hearing this, and then asked curiously: "What do you mean by maybe? He definitely likes you. Has he confessed to you?"
Chen Zhan shook his head and said awkwardly, "He probably won't confess his feelings to me."
Xu Anan looked as if she had just found out something big, and asked blankly, "So, what's going on between you two?"
