Chapter 66 School Anniversary Party
As soon as Chen Zan returned backstage after rehearsal, Xu Anan found her with a forum post.
"Haha, Zhanzhan, you're popular on our forum again."
"What?" She looked confused.
Xu Anan pointed at the arrogant person who was going to confess his love to her that night, "Do you remember him, He Ran from the School of Finance?"
Chen Zan: "I don't know him."
Xu Anan: "It's the junior who kept blocking you every now and then these past two days and asking for your WeChat."
Chen Zhan remembered and said calmly, "I don't like him."
And she remembered that she had clearly rejected him the first time he asked for her WeChat.
Xu Anan clicked on the profile picture, which looked pretty much the same as the real person. She said, enjoying the fun, "Someone posted a photo of you and Jin Hanzhou on the forum, and now everyone in school is asking for tickets to the party. Do you think I can earn enough money for a hot pot meal if I sell them now?"
Chen Zhan shook his head helplessly. "The Minister of Propaganda is reselling tickets and driving up prices. If you become an official in the future, Xu Anan, you will be punished."
Xu Anan sighed softly, "I'm following in my father's footsteps and seizing business opportunities."
Chen Zan was amused by her.
She went back to the locker in the lounge to get her phone. Zhou Jingyu hadn't replied yet. After a few seconds of hesitation, she asked Xu Anan, "Anan, have the seats for the companies attending tonight been arranged?"
Xu Anan was typing quickly on her phone. "I don't know. I think the school and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are in charge of this."
Then something occurred to him, "Oh, right? Mr. Zhou from Rong Investment Group is going to be there tonight, right? Those of you who love beauty will be in for a real treat."
This matter is not Xu Anan's business, and Chen Zan can't find out anything from her.
Since he still had to check the process later, Chen Zan put the matter behind him.

Airport
The driver opened the back door, and Zhou Jingyu and Zhang Qing, who were exhausted from coming out of the airport, got into the car.
The car door closed and drove rapidly towards the highway heading into the city.
Zhang Qing glanced at the schedule and said to Zhou Jingyu, "Mr. Zhou, are you going to the Rongchuan University anniversary party at 7 o'clock in person, or will you ask the vice president to attend on your behalf?"
Zhou Jingyu turned his eyes away from the computer and frowned, "Is it too late to go over now?"
Zhang Qing looked at the driver, who said, "It will take another 40 minutes to get to Rongchuan University. If there's no traffic, we should be there by 7 o'clock."
Zhou Jingyu said simply: "Go straight over."
Zhang Qing: "Okay, then I'll inform Vice President Liu and tell him not to worry about this matter."
Although it was just a school anniversary event, I don’t know why Mr. Zhou attached so much importance to it. He even asked him to find the email sent to him by the school.
Zhou Jingyu thought of something and said, "Give me the phone."
There were too many things going on along the way. A major problem arose in a key cooperation project outside the province. Zhou Jingyu rushed over to deal with it. Under pressure, he resigned from several high-level positions before he reluctantly gave a reasonable answer.
I was processing documents on the way back. I had given my mobile phone to Zhang Qing and asked him to handle some conference calls on my behalf.
Zhang Qing returned the phone to Zhou Jingyu. He turned it on and flipped through the messages with a clear purpose. The little girl must have had a busy day today and there were no new messages.
Zhang Qing was a very perceptive person. He said, "Ms. Chen is in charge of tonight's performance as a student union member. She also has to rehearse. She must be very busy."
Zhou Jingyu nodded lightly with an expressionless face.
While Zhou Jingyu was still processing documents, Zhang Qing picked up his phone and quietly went to the Rong University forum to check it out. When he was in college, he liked to be active in forums or groups about school gossip.
As a qualified secretary, ever since she knew that Mr. Zhou had feelings for Chen Zan a long time ago, in addition to the people arranged by Zhou Jingyu to be around Miss Chen, she has also been paying attention to the forum of Rongchuan University, so that if anything happens, she can report it and deal with it in the first time.
It would be fine if I didn't go to see it, but when I did, I was shocked.
The first and most popular post was about Miss Chen. When Zhang Qing clicked on it, his hands trembled and he was about to close the page immediately.
It was too late. Zhou Jingyu's chilling voice came from the side, "Show it to me."
Zhang Qing's scalp tingled. He wanted to say he hadn't read it, but that was obviously impossible. He took his phone and quickly made up for it, "It's just some boring gossip between students. Besides, Miss Chen is very popular."
You know, the son of the Song family has always been interested in Miss Chen, and Mr. Zhou regards Jin Hanzhou as a love rival. At the beginning, Jin Hanzhou almost ruined Mr. Zhou's plan.
Zhou Jingyu's emotionless words "I know" blocked Zhang Qing's next words.
The man took the phone, casually flipped through the two pages of messages at the bottom, and then returned to the top. Although Jin Hanzhou was indeed a hateful guy, the photo made Chen Zan look very beautiful. She was wearing a turquoise green evening dress, the color of which was very similar to her waist-cinching cheongsam.
He saved the photo and returned it to Zhang Qing: "Take a screenshot of the guy next to you in the photo and send it to me."
Zhang Qing was stunned for a moment, "Okay, Mr. Zhou."
Then I wondered, is this the end?
So he couldn't help but look at Zhou Jingyu again. His face, reflected by the light from the laptop screen, was still cold and emotionless, without any emotion revealed.
Perhaps sensing what Zhang Qing was thinking at the moment, Zhou Jingyu spoke coldly without looking up, "Do you want to ask me if I care about this?"
Zhang Qing scratched his head. "Mr. Zhou, is this because of their hosting partner?"
"Wrong." Zhou Jingyu said slowly, "Because I believe in Chen Zhan."
She is not the kind of person who would be indecisive.
Besides, if he didn't even have this little confidence in himself, then he would have lived in vain for twenty-seven years.
Zhang Qing was silent for a moment. It seemed that there would be no such melodramatic misunderstandings as in TV dramas between Mr. Zhou and Ms. Chen.

The party started on time at 7pm.
The first few rows of seats in the auditorium are occupied by important leaders of the college, invited representatives from companies and outstanding graduates.
The nameplate of Rongtou Group was prominently posted in the middle of the first row. When Chen Zan followed the other three hosts to the stage to deliver their opening speeches, she glanced at the audience and found that the seat next to the principal was empty.
It seems that he will not come today.
This year’s gala had a host lineup from Rong University that was incredibly good-looking, and the students in the back row started screaming like crazy as soon as they came on stage.
“The president is so handsome!!”
"Jiang Xinyi, you are the best!!"
"Senior Chen Zhan, I love you!!"
Such a straightforward and passionate confession instantly caused everyone to burst into laughter.
After the host's opening remarks, he invited school leaders and corporate representatives to come on stage to give speeches. This segment was hosted by Jiang Xinyi and Xue Ming. She and Jin Hanzhou went backstage first to prepare.
Chen Zan was wearing ten-centimeter high heels under her dress. When she stepped into the car, Jin Hanzhou gentlemanly stretched out his arm for her to hold on to prevent her from falling.
After taking a look, she didn't reach out to help him, but still said thank you.
Jin Hanzhou didn't say anything when he saw this. Instead, he told her to be careful when taking the last step. "I thought you would be nervous."
Chen Zhan held up the hem of her skirt and said, "I thought I would be nervous too."
She had no experience as a host on stage, and the rehearsal was different from facing the huge crowds in the auditorium during the official opening. She thought she would be very nervous and even make mistakes in reciting the script, but she underestimated herself. Everything went so naturally.
Jin Hanzhou nodded, then asked casually and tentatively, "Mr. Zhou didn't come today. Do you know why?"
Chen Zhan was stunned for a moment, then said calmly, "He's on a business trip."
Jin Hanzhou suddenly said in a mocking tone, "Mr. Zhou, as the president of Rongtou Group, is he so untrustworthy?"
