Chapter 67 Zhou Jingyu takes the stage to speak
Chen Zan felt inexplicably uncomfortable after listening to this. The Jin Hanzhou she knew should not be the kind of person who was petty and liked to gossip about others behind their backs.
He immediately retorted coldly, "Senior, aren't you being too arbitrary? A major problem has arisen in the group project, and a temporary business trip is an uncontrollable factor. There's no reason for him to leave the group's affairs alone to attend a school celebration that has nothing to do with him. Besides, Mr. Zhou arranged for the group's vice president to attend, so maybe he was delayed for some reason."
Chen Zan usually looks well-behaved and speaks gently and easy-goingly. Jin Hanzhou has almost never seen her look cold and harsh. This is the first time, and it was to protect Zhou Jingyu.
His heart felt like it was suddenly grabbed by someone's hand, and it was throbbing with pain. "Chen Zhan, are you in love with him?"
Chen Zan's heart trembled slightly, and he turned his head away without saying a word.
If it was when she had just met Zhou Jingyu, she would definitely have said firmly that she didn't like him.
Jin Hanzhou seemed to be stubbornly wanting an answer, staring at her intently.
After a long while, she heard Jin Hanzhou's deep voice, "Chen Zan, Zhou Jingyu's background is unfathomable. Even the Wei family can't afford to offend him. If you like him, the only person who will get hurt in the end will be you."
Chen Zhan lowered his eyelids and looked at the ground. "I understand this principle better than you."
She knew very well what their final outcome would be, and she didn't need anyone to remind her of it.
Just as the two were silent, Jiang Xinyi and Xue Ming returned to the backstage.
Xue Ming said excitedly, "The president of Rongtou Group is so young and so handsome."
Even Jiang Xinyi's eyes were filled with pink bubbles. "Chen Zan, I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to be ten times more handsome in person than in the photos taken at the art exhibition."
Chen Zhan was surprised and asked, "Zhou Jingyu is here?"
Jin Hanzhou's expression also changed subtly.
Jiang Xinyi: "I heard there was a traffic jam on the road. We just arrived. The principal personally invited someone to the stage to give a speech. You should go and see it."
Chen Zan turned around and was about to go to the side of the stage to take a look. Jin Hanzhou followed without saying a word. When they arrived, Zhou Jingyu had already made a brief speech on the stage.
Zhou Jingyu stood on the stage, the lights shining on him alone. He was wearing a black suit and black pants, without a tie. The sleeves of his hand holding the microphone were rolled up to his elbows, revealing an arm with the sexy lines of a mature man.
It was obvious that he was invited to the stage at short notice, but his face was so handsome and he had such a strong aura that the originally noisy auditorium became quiet because of him.
It was not until the end of his brief speech that the audience burst into thunderous applause.
It was Chen Zan and Jin Hanzhou's turn to go on stage. Under the interlaced lights, they looked at each other from a distance.
Zhou Jingyu's indifferent expression fell nonchalantly on Chen Zan. The green new Chinese-style fishtail dress with a qingli decoration perfectly outlined her figure, like a clear and cool landscape painting of a beautiful woman with the scene of "rain hitting banana leaves, green mountains about to droop".
The ink painting of red plum blossoms that he had painted on her body in the study in Jing Mansion suddenly flashed through his mind.
One is extremely elegant and pure, while the other is extremely charming and seductive.
Of all the people Zhou Jingyu had ever met, only Chen Zan could perfectly embody this kind of pure and contradictory temperament.
Thinking of this, his eyes darkened and he curled his lips subtly.
In just a moment, just that one glance, Zhou Jingyu's aggressive eyes, which only two people could understand, were as if he wanted to skin her and then eat her.
For some reason, Chen Zan, who was not nervous at first, began to feel nervous and her heartbeat accelerated. She tightened the microphone in her hand and her palms began to sweat.
She turned her eyes away slightly, and this feeling made her inexplicably feel as if she was having an affair in public in front of everyone.
She must be confused and dizzy, which is why she has these illusions.
Fortunately, their relative angles meant that no one else could see their eyes meet. Even if they did, they would simply think that they were just looking at each other by coincidence.
Zhou Jingyu was led to sit in an empty seat in the center of the first row. He raised his eyes and glanced coldly at Jin Hanzhou standing next to Chen Zan on the stage. They were indeed a perfect match as the students in the forum said.
But... I feel it's an eyesore for some reason.
He loosened the tie around his neck and admitted what he said in the car, that it was too early.
It was only when the people around him couldn't wait to talk to him that he diverted his attention.
Chen Zan quickly calmed down, looked away, cleared his throat, and then took the microphone and spoke to Jin Hanzhou.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou Jingyu, President of Rong Investment Group, for your words to Rongchuan University. Thank you also for your strong support for Rongchuan University..."
Next is the show.
At this time, the students who were unable to attend the party were watching the live broadcast on the forum.
"No, the president of Rongtou is too young. I thought he was an old man."
"Seriously, are you kidding me? It was all over the news before, didn't you see it?"
"He's so handsome! I thought Jin Hanzhou was quite handsome, but it turns out that mature and wealthy men are more attractive."
"So no one saw that look between Mr. Zhou and Chen Zhan just now? I always feel like there's something fishy about it."
"I remember Chen Zhan was an interpreter for Mr. Zhou. The media even took photos and reported on it."
"So they know each other. No wonder they think there's something fishy going on."
"No way, you really think Chen Zhan can hook up with Zhou Jingyu? Don't you think about her status and Chen Zhan's status? Do you think the two of them are a good match?"
"Dude upstairs, your words are so rude. I wish you impotence."
"That brother was a bit overreacting, but these two people really don't seem likely. I would believe you about Chen Zhan and Jin Hanzhou, but the gap in their status is too big."
"Yes, you know how hard it is to get an offer from Rongtou Group? It's even harder than taking the civil service exam. Besides, outside of school, these two people have nothing in common."
"I applied twice for that one and got rejected twice. It was so difficult."
“…”
By the time Chen Zan came on stage to give his closing remarks, Zhou Jingyu had already left early.
When I returned to the lounge to change clothes, I saw Xu Anan holding a DSLR camera like a fan.
Chen Zhan couldn't help but laugh, "What are you looking at? Your mouth is watering."
Xu Anan showed her the SLR camera as if she was presenting a treasure. The person in the photo was none other than Zhou Jingyu.
The man sat in his seat, his long legs crossed, his body leaning back lazily. A ray of light from the overhead lamp hit his tall nose, and the outline of his face was hidden in the shadows.
When talking to people, he always looked indifferent and nonchalant, but even with this demeanor, Xu Anan managed to make him look lazy and dissolute, a man who had been dazzled by the world of fame and fortune.
There are so many people in the photo, but I can only see him at first glance, and then I can't look away.
Chen Zan's breathing paused slightly, and she had to admit that she was once again stunned by Zhou Jingyu's looks in this photo.
Xu Anan said proudly: "Why, I look handsome in the photo, right?"
Chen Zhan nodded, "Can you send me this photo?"
Xu Anan didn't think much about it, "I'll export it when I get back to the dormitory tonight and send it to the group chat. You can save it."
Chen Zhan curved his eyes and smiled: "Thank you."
Xu Anan urged: "Go change your clothes quickly, the senior will treat you to a midnight snack later."
Chen Zan nodded.
She had just taken her clothes and cell phone from the locker when her phone vibrated at the right moment. As if she had sensed something in her heart, she subconsciously clicked on it to take a look.
It was sent by Zhou Jingyu, two very short words.
"come out."
